We are personally spending more money this holiday season than in a long time! It’s because we’re still doing the ‘Trump dance’! And apparently we’re not alone as it was reported that the majority of Americans are now feeling quite optimistic about the future! More than in a long time ! It’s really awful that the democrats are doing their best to sabotage things in the last month of their reign of power.
So much for a peaceful transition, …?
You didn’t believe them when they harped about peaceful transition did you? They only brought up the transition so they could mention, without mentioning, January 6. I do think joe will be fine with the transition, as it was not President Trump that beat him, but rather harris, pelosi and the d establishment are those that ended his fantasy.
Correct Jeff, … I didn’t believe it.
Personally I’m not inclined to desire Newscu’s continued efforts to “protect” me as a Californian … he’s spending too much $$ and effort – better spend his time doing his real job and thinking about how to cooperate with others.
I find Newsomand the democrats plotting totally against what the people want! They want more homelessness, even dumber schools, and criminals and freaks having the upper hand. While everyone should absolutely have their rights, California’s gone crazy to allow a sliver minority to rule over the majority.
While I am on a positive bent about President Trump returning as President, I am highly doubtful about Congress. Even though Rs have the majority in both Houses, the bulk are still establishment Rs. I do not have a lot of (read that as barely any) confidence in Thune as Majority Leader. I think Johnson has been ok as SotH (and 100% grateful Gaetz removed milquetoast mccarthy, what a waste of a seat he was). I am looking forward to ocasio-cortez as chair of the oversight committee. Having such a definitive dullard in that position will provide TONS of fodder for political commentary/humor. Oh how the memes will fly.
She thinks oversight means wearing your glasses low on your nose. 😉
Jeff (the other one),

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez won’t be Chair of the Oversight Committee in January 2025, at best she’ll be Ranking Minority Member of the Oversight Committee.

Concord”s perennial candidate, Harmesh Kumar, ran to replace Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy in California’s 20th Congressional District special election earlier this year.
While I agree with you Mr Knight, I cannot help thinking biden was put into office, harris was the candidate for President, and that elevation of literal imbeciles to the highest levels of power seems to remain modus operandi for the dems.
Agreed!!!
I wonder how some people are dealing this holiday season realizing that literally everything they’ve been force fed by the main stream media these last several years have all been lies. From the Russia Collusion hoax funded by Clinton, the laptop, Ukraine, Vax… I mean, that’s gotta sting a little?
Well, they are still hearing nothing but lies inside their own media bubble. A lot of them have no interest in hearing the truth and they refuse to believe that they have been fed lies. Many on some level probably do realize it but they would likely never openly acknowledge it…..This absolute, over the top hatred of Donald Trump will not allow them to behave like rational people. It really is sad while at the same time being an interesting phenomena…I don’t think we have seen anything quite like this before.
Watch maybe 3 hours of TV per month and never so called news channels.

So nice of them to freshly wax the stairs.

HOLY CRAP!! Thanks sooo much for this link, Doc! If this is all true; something very bad could happen in the near future. This link should be a MUST READ/SEE for everyone that really cares about our future!
In early 2000s National Nuclear Security Administration was created. Were stories in 2012 and 2015 about low flying helicopters mapping background radiation sources. Knowing where background radiation exists helps in finding or tracking radioactive materials.

I’m so happy we have mean tweets again. I’m tired of the adults being in charge. There’s only so much decency I can handle and between biden and his son, I’m all fulled up.
Agree

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has something to say on that issue that the Democrats won’t be happy about. Adams bluntly described a disturbing trend he’s witnessed among young people in America.
.
Speaking candidly about the radicalization of youth, he addressed the troubling case of Mangione, drawing a direct line between the shooter’s upbringing and the toxic influence of the education system that led to his violent actions.” …
.
“… Adams explained how young people, even those with every opportunity, are being led to despise the country that gave them so much. “Our children are being radicalized to hate America, to hate the country that put them where they are”

Mass deportation is estimated at $88B in cost. ICE faces $230m budget shortfall for next year. It seems to me that there won’t be any mass deportation.
Trump also concedes that it is hard to bring price down and there is no guarantee American won’t pay more when he implements the tariffs.
you MAGA regret voting for Trump yet?
Nice try but fail,fail.It costs WAY more to keep them here,Take your first math class,
If it is true that they cost way more than $88B then why is the US isn’t broke for they have been here for years. Do the math son.
We are broke, you dummy.

Just because you have a checkbook does not mean that you have any $.
When you have borrowed $36 TRILLION, you are broke.
When unfunded liabilities (future Medicare cost, Social Security payments, future pension payments, etc.) are estimated to be up to $200 TRILLION, you are broke.
When your credit card is maxed but the bank extends more credit to avoid a bankruptcy, you are broke.
You don’t even need to “do the math son” to realize that you are broke.
Don’t be stupid, Paul.
Paul,dropping out in 6th grade was a really bad decision.
Still smarter than MAGA supporters who believed that in his first term, Trump will build a wall and Mexico will pay for the wall.
by the way, I will lower grocery prices = Mexico will pay for the wall. Y’all are gullible; Trump has fooled y’all more than twice
No 1 on their agenda.this shows liberals dont even listen
You represent your people to a “T”
The amount you mention is the same amount Calif spent on homelessness that got worse and they have no receipts for where any of the money went so that amount is nothing,kid,
Go away, you are beyond annoying.
