With An Economy Of Words

There is nothing more demoralizing than watching our Republic show signs of resurgence only to be opposed by a bunch of intellectually deficient and morally corrupt politically-serving, appointed District Judges. 

Stay In Your Lane WSJ

The WSJ is getting progressively more anti-Trump by the day. I can understand them taking an adversarial view of anything Trump does that affects market returns, but they seem to be attacking on all fronts. To run a front-page headline: “US, El Salvador Won’t Budge on Mistakenly Deported Man” is bowing to the left-wing narrative that this guy is somehow living the American dream, mowing his lawn and coaching youth soccer while raising a family in the suburbs. Baloney! Only recently has it come to light that he impregnated his girlfriend and only married her on the advice of his attorneys when he was picked up on charges of being an MS-13 gang member. Charges that appear to be true, incidentally, including human trafficking. The fear of “rival gangs retaliating against him” narrative is also full of holes, with fantastical reports of his grandmother’s taco stand getting muscled by a gang that exists on US soil, not in El Salvador.

Further, as Marco Rubio points out, he is a citizen of El Salvador and has been rightly returned to his home soil after illegally entering the US. Full stop. He is not a “Maryland Dad,” as the grandstanding Senator Van Hollen would have you believe, and he is, therefore, not your constituent, making his pending PR stunt to Central America particularly annoying to those who are. The judge never said he couldn’t be deported; he said he would not go to El Salvador, making Gaza and Ukraine favored destinations. So, let’s waste more tax dollars on this miscreant and send a jet to pick him up. We can allow him to get off at any Central American country he likes, preferably at 30,000 feet, because this administration is not going to import another illegal immigrant with ties to a terrorist organization into our country. Been there, done that. Those days are over. And the Wall Street Journal should know better. Your conservative readership will demand it.

The Empire State

Did you happen to catch the phenomenally self-important,  yet equally vapid, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez pontificating on the definitions and differences between socialism and capitalism?  Completely clueless. So much for her political science degree. Boston University must be so proud. But what is truly disturbing, far beyond her inability to form coherent thoughts, is that in a head-to-head primary contest between her and incumbent Senator Chuck Schumer, she is currently ahead by 19 percentage points in the polling. This on the heels of a poll showing disgraced former governor Andrew Cuomo leading Eric Adams in a race for mayor of New York City. What is wrong with New York? Can the radical democrats move any farther left and continue to alienate the rest of the country? Can New Yorkers disgrace themselves any more than they have in electing a cast of abrasive partisans that currently includes Hochul, Raskin, Nadler, AOC, Tish James, Alvin Bragg, and Schumer with a history of scandals perpetuated by Cuomo above, Elliot Spitzer, Sheldon Silver, Eric Schneiderman, and Andrew Weiner?  And recall they elected the carpetbagger Hillary Clinton to the Senate, although she may have been more effective than her replacement, the largely invisible and completely unproductive Kirstin Gillibrand. The Democratic Party needs to do some soul-searching on a national level to recover from the rudderless state of anti-Trump vitriol they are currently using as a party platform. But there is no better place to start than New York.

Shame On You Wisconsin

Wisconsin is such a disappointment. To think the democrats are demonizing Musk who, at great risk to his own business empire, is donating his time and resources to rooting out government corruption and the wasting of taxpayer dollars, yet is being portrayed as somehow taking away entitlements, Medicaid and Medicare in particular, is just a mind-bending concept. The accusations from the left that he is buying votes when democrat candidates have been Soros-funded for years is typically hypocritical.  The democrats are crowing about their political gains, but the same old entrenched tactics won the day. Milwaukee and Madison are Wisconsin’s largest population centers, and like most American cities, they are rife with welfare recipients, government employees, and liberal colleges and universities. Further, despite the DOGE team’s impressive performance on FOX with Brett Baier, the vast majority of the public is oblivious, instead barraged by the mainstream media talking points, the same hysteria that has whipped these mentally impaired leftists to vandalize Tesla dealerships. And exactly how Wisconsin voters were able to elect the decidedly progressive judge Crawford by 10 percentage points but on the same ballot supported an ID requirement for voting with a 25% margin, something that Crawford opposes incidentally, doesn’t make any sense at all. Just the concept that a judge is not impartial, bowing to progressive ideology rather than adhering to constitutional guidelines, is abhorrent. Wisconsin voters should be ashamed if that is at all possible. It increasingly appears that Americans are a product of our own education system and cannot read the handwriting on the wall.
