Victor Davis Hanson: AOC Makes Kamala Harris Sound Like Socrates, Cicero​

Victor Davis Hanson critiques a Munich Security Conference panel, contrasting Matt Whitaker’s professionalism with AOC’s Taiwan “word salad” and Whitmer’s reluctance to address foreign policy, and also criticize Hillary Clinton’s performance.

They discuss why Putin may resist a Ukraine deal despite major losses and how Ukraine’s drone-focused defense is evolving.

Hanson praises Elon Musk for reviving real-world engineering. They fault NYC leadership for higher spending and a 9.5% property tax hike.

WOW 🚨 Senator Tommy Tuberville exposes Democrats “Were printing $80,000 A MINUTE while Joe Biden was in office”

He says the Biden Admin was spending $7 TRILLION per year

Democrats were printing

$115,200,000 per day
$806,400,000 per week
$3,456,000,000 per month
$42,048,000,000 per year
$168,192,000,000 over 4 years

“Here in Washington, D.C., every year we take in somewhere around $4 trillion of federal taxes — It’s an astronomical number, and when Biden was here, we'd spend what the taxpayers would send and then we'd spend $2 to $3 trillion more”
 


Trump: "Transferring power from D.C...back to you, the people"​

 


To recap the Democrat 2026 platform so far:

- America is stolen land and we can’t have borders
- if we don’t have borders, everyone is allowed to come here
- if anyone is here, they’re allowed to access taxpayer funded services
- because we shouldn’t have borders, we shouldn’t enforce immigration laws
- America must be subjected to tariffs but cannot impose tariffs
- Muslims can take over public spaces to pray but conservative groups cannot have high school or college clubs
- you aren’t smart enough to homeschool your kids so you must send them to public schools where they won’t learn to read, do arithmetic, or think critically
- the Department of Education is sacred
- but kids will be taken outside to protest and shown sexually explicit materials
- biological males can be women
- women are a protected class and need special treatment, including trans women
- you’re not paying enough in taxes
- voting is a constitutional right and should have no requirements
- gun ownership is a constitutional right that should be abolished, but until then should be highly restrictive and limited
- women are smarter than men and that’s why so many of them get more college degrees than men
- women are incapable of obtaining a valid ID to vote
- law enforcement officers are going to be held accountable for enforcing the law
- former military officers cannot be held accountable for violating the rules
- going after political opponents, even if they broke the law, is illegal
- as soon as Democrats are in power, they will go after their political opponents
- using laws to prosecute ICE protesters is wrong
- using laws to prosecute pro-life nuns is correct
- uncovering fraud in NGOs, government agencies, welfare is wrong
- wealth tax for “rich” people
- there shouldn’t be billionaires
- owning 4 homes doesn’t mean someone is rich
- Republicans are racists
- it’s okay to say racist things to black and brown Republicans and law enforcement
- the Trump admin is covering up for pedophiles
- the Biden admin couldn’t do anything with the Epstein files
- we shouldn’t spend any money on detention centers for ICE
- we should spend more money of government programs without fixing the fraud (see above)
- Abolish ICE
- Abolish the police
- criminals aren’t bad, just misunderstood
*- *unless they’re white, Right, or Christian
- trans people are the real victims of trans killing people
- it’s okay to vote “not guilty” if the defendant agrees with your politics or has your skin color
- it’s okay to release violent criminals back on the streets if they’ve been arrested multiple times
- it’s okay to hit law enforcement with your vehicle as long as you say “I’m not mad at you” first
- understand that Jesus said “love everybody, welcome the stranger” but ignore everything else Jesus and the Bible said

And that’s just off the top of my head. I’m sure I missed a few.
 
Just finished my federal income tax and got my 2026 property tax bill from wa state.
There is about $300.00 difference between them.
 
Well, if it's any consolation, you made enough money that you had to pay taxes...

Yah, and if I didn't make a damned dime I'd still get a $10,000 property tax bill.

And that is the reason we moved from Berks County, PA to Marshall County, WV.
Born and raised here. Extended family here.
PA property taxes $9,000 WV property taxes $1,500 (Similar house.)
Berks county = liberal dems. WV = conservative red necks
Also WV = smaller population, no traffic, open carry no permit required.

Dude is spot on. This is exactly what I been telling people too.

The idiots on the Right who are black pilling themselves are just gonna get Kackles or Gruesome elected, and then they won't get anything they will like, but then will be wondering why.
 

This Isn't a Presidency. It's a Throne.​

Path to Liberty: February 25, 2026
The executive, James Madison warned, is the branch of power most interested in and prone to war. Empowering it to both declare and wage war, not only guarantees endless war, it’s a ROYAL power the founders fought to free themselves from. That’s why a free people must disarm the president from this potential.

DOJ shelves Biden autopen probe, failing to identify a relevant statute​

The Justice Department shelved an investigation into former President Joe Biden's use of an autopen, a person briefed on the matter told NBC News.

The probe was opened by current Justice Department pardon attorney and former "weaponization" czar Ed Martin while he was serving as interim U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia. It winded down recently under U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeannie Pirro, a longtime Trump ally and former Fox News host.

Once you question the autopen for one President, you question it for ALL Presidents, you don't want to go downthat rabbit hole...
 
^^^^^ "The United States must restore a government small enough to fit within the Constitution. Article I makes Congress responsible for declaring war."

I agree with him, but for longer than any of us have been alive Congress has done everything they can to delegate their power TO the executive.
....but NOW it's a problem. Lol


The source of 99% of all the problems this nation has, can be summed up in one word.

Congress.

Agree with you on all of this. I've said it before..........Doesn't matter R or D. They kick all sorts of cans down the road until election time. Then the cans become talking points. One side blames the other for a particular problem and claims they have a solution - once they are elected. But once elected they simply keep on kicking the cans down the road and blaming the other side for doing nothing.

While all this is going on they engage in insider trading, grabbing campaign contributions, taking all sorts of cool breeze trips all over the planet at taxpayers expense and defending whoever's smelly ass is sitting in the White House.

It's a big club and I ain't in it.

Medical care. Social Security. The high cost of food and supplies. Any R's or D's coming up with any fixes? Nah..........they got better things to do. Just ask them.

Still, the Dems version of f'ed-upness is far less preferable than that of the reps.

The only real fix, which they won't do, is to scrap the inflationary ponzi scheme of a monetary system they chose to saddle us with, and revert to real money that slowly deflate over time.
....but that takes money out of all the wrong people's pockets.

So while the reps ain't perfect, only alternative is the super lib Dems who want to get back to selling out the nation.

Sorry, but that's just not an option.

We got a taste of where they want the nation to go with Obozo and the Bidet.

Their shit was worse for America than anything Trump did or might do.
 

Trump’s War Insurance Decree Follows Predictable Pattern​

Commercial shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has collapsed in the wake of the Trump administration’s “precise, overwhelming military campaign” against Iran. Shipping costs are rising to reflect the heightened risk, and maritime insurers are canceling policies to renegotiate higher rates.

On Tuesday, Trump announced on social media, “Effective IMMEDIATELY, I have ordered the United States Development Finance Corporation (DFC) to provide, at a very reasonable price, political risk insurance and guarantees for the Financial Security of ALL Maritime Trade, especially Energy, traveling through the Gulf.” He added that the US Navy will begin escorting tankers “if necessary” and that the US “will ensure the FREE FLOW of ENERGY to the WORLD.”

This isn't America. It's a BETRAYAL of the Revolution.

Path to Liberty: March 4, 2026
“Remember, my friends, from whom you sprang.” For 13 years after the Boston Massacre of March 5, 1770 - the Sons of Liberty laid out an uncompromising blueprint for a free people, the foundation of the revolution. What they fought for - in their own words. And the brutal question: have we remembered, or did we let this country become a den of thieves?
