Reagan got the message when he got shot.

BREAKING: A constitutional amendment has been filed allowing President Trump to seek a 3rd term in office.​

“No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than three times, nor be elected to any additional term after being elected to two consecutive terms, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.’’

It was filed by Congressman Andy Ogles (R-TN).
@SGTnewsNetwork

No thank you. We just finished Obama's 3rd term and how did that turn out?

Or is it an attempt to legalise Trumps third term now just starting ?
Everyone knew he won the 2020 election and that joe was an imposter ……

What would the legal position be if an inquiry and subsequent court judgements had Trump as the rightful winner of 2020 ?
Dems and the TDS folk would suddenly be in total agreement

I'm thinking along the same lines but on a different path. Forget the 2020 election. That's over and done with.

Trump is trying to do away with birthright citizenship. Not going to happen as it's baked into the constitution. So now you have some boot lick suggesting a 3rd term (testing the waters.)

Maybe a constitutional convention to attempt to end birthright citizenship? And while we're at it lets change things so we could have a president for life (you know - like Russia, Red China, North Korea.)

I think the next 4 years are going to be a bumpy ride. Buckle up.

State Department issues immediate, widespread pause on foreign aid​

Secretary of State Marco Rubio halted spending Friday on most existing foreign aid grants for 90 days. The order, which shocked State Department officials, appears to apply to funding for military assistance to Ukraine.

Rubio’s guidance, issued to all diplomatic and consular posts, requires department staffers to issue “stop-work orders” on nearly all “existing foreign assistance awards,” according to the document, which was obtained by POLITICO. It is effective immediately.

AI, mRNA, Cancer Vaccines and "Stargate"​

Reality check. Curb your enthusiasm, and beware of grifters.​

Robert W Malone MD, MS
Jan 22, 2025



I've been thinking a lot about this project Stargate. At this moment I'm convinced Trump announced it to make us aware of it.
Did you notice his lack of enthusiasm when he announced it? He sounded very tired even.
He didn't really endorse it, he announced it.
He doesn't put tax money into the project, he announced that these abnormal rich guys would finance it themselves!
Then Musk calls them out as not trustworthy and tells us they don't even have this amount of money.
More and more scandals about the persons involved come into the light as people start to check them out.

The result?
Everyone knows about this project and its plans. Everyone can see the dangers. We know the people behind it, as Trump literally called them out (which is always very interesting).
A privately funded project that will be forced upon the world???
I don't think so!

Trump Makes His First Trade Actions. It’s Too Soon to Exhale.​

A week into President Donald Trump’s second term, the administration’s tariff strategy and its implications for economic growth, inflation, the U.S. dollar, and Federal Reserve policy remain as uncertain as ever.

Trump’s “America First Trade Policy” memorandum outlined the administration’s broad goals—to strengthen the U.S. economy and national security by addressing what it called unfair and imbalanced trade practices.

Tracking Trump’s economy​

Donald Trump has returned to Washington, vowing to overhaul the economy and deliver a "golden age" in which the U.S. will "thrive like never before."
While Trump dismisses the notion, the economy he inherited from Democrat Joe Biden was robust, with low unemployment, slowing inflation, and above-trend growth, investment and consumption.
The second-term Republican has laid out ambitious plans to pad household and business balance sheets with tax cuts, upend global trade with a barrage of tariffs and reshape the U.S. workforce with aggressive restrictions on immigration.
Over the coming four years, the economic results of Trump’s actions will emerge in reams of monthly, weekly and daily data.
This live dashboard, tracking more than a dozen points of emphasis highlighted by the president, will continually update with the latest figures to show the state of play under Trump 2.0.

and there's the rub...



To fully understand just how remarkable today’s exchange with Colombia was, you need to understand how Washington DC has traditionally worked through these sorts of issues, and the different way it works now under Trump.

I’ll illustrate.

Traditional Approach:

1. Colombia announces it will not take our repatriation flights.
2. On Monday, the State Department convenes an interagency task force with DoD, NSC, DEA, INS, ICE, Commerce, Treasury and Homeland Security.
3. The task force meets for four days and develops a position paper.
4. The position paper is rejected by the Secretary of State, who is unhappy that insufficient equity considerations are built into the process.
5. The task force reconvenes a week later to redevelop three new, equity-centric courses of action and create a new position paper.
6. The process is delayed a week because Washington DC gets three inches of snow.
7. SecState approves the new position paper for interagency circulation, and considerable input is received from the heads of other departments so the task force must reconvene.
8. The original three proposed responsive courses of action are scrapped in favor of a new, fourth course of action that achieves the worst aspects of the three prior courses of action but satisfies the interagency.
9. Someone in State who disagrees leaks to the Washington Post, who writes a story about how ineffective the Presidential administration is.
10. The White House Chief of Staff sets up a session three days later to brief the President, who approves the new fourth course of action.
11. Over a month after the issue is first raised, the State Department Public Affairs Officer holds a press conference announcing that Colombia has agreed to try to send fewer criminals into the US and everyone declares victory.

Trump Approach:

1. Colombia announces it will not take our repatriation flights.
2. After a par-5 third hole where he goes one under par, Trump uses his iPhone to post on social media as to how the USA will destroy Colombia’s economy if they do not do what the USA demands.
3. By the time Trump gets to the par-4 sixth hole, Colombia’s President has agreed to repatriate all the illegal Colombians in his own plane, which he will pay for.
4. Trump finishes three under par and goes to the clubhouse for a Diet Coke where he posts a gangsta AI image of himself and the new FAFO Doctrine.
5. Winning.

See the difference? It’s called LEADERSHIP.

Trump Asks Mike Johnson if He’ll Allow Prez a Third Term​

Donald Trump again publicly mused about serving further presidential terms Monday, asking Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson whether he was “allowed to”—just a few days after another House Republican introduced legislation to enable just that.

“I’ve raised a lot of money for the next race that I assume I can’t use for myself, but I’m not 100 percent sure,” Trump told House Republicans in Doral, Florida. “I think I’m not allowed to run again.”

Turning to Johnson, a former constitutional lawyer, Trump asked, “Am I allowed to run again? Mike, I better not get you involved in that argument.”

Donald Trump Now Floats Deporting American Criminals​

President Donald Trump, speaking at the House Republican Retreat in Doral, Florida, suggested Monday that he wanted to fly American criminals to other countries who will incarcerate them for "a small fee."

"I don't want these violent repeat offenders in our country anymore. If they've been arrested many, many times, I want them out of our country," Trump said. Let them be brought to a foreign land and maintained by others for a very small fee as opposed to be maintained in our jails for massive amounts of money including the private prison companies that charge us a fortune. Let them be brought out of our country and let them live there for a while and see how they like it. You'll see crime all over the country dry up."

Newsweek has emailed the White House and Department of Justice Monday night for additional remarks.

pulling out all the stops....

just like Trump's niece writing a book on how awful her RICH uncle is (probably told her to get a job)....

Kennedy confirmation on. Kennedy being asked to explain his stances on crazy shit he said in the past. Looks like he doesn't like it. From listening to him I think he's trying to respeak history. Could become contentious.

Edit:

Grassley up...........he looks healthier and talks better than Kennedy. Grassley is 91, Kennedy is 71.

Edit:

So far everything is along party lines. Kennedy has made it clear he doesn't really have his own ideas. He will do Trump's bidding. Did get a bit heated when E Warren was up. She brought up his making money with lawsuits against vacs.

RFK Jr. says he’s not anti-vaccine. But he could profit off claim in vaccine lawsuit.​

White House Says China, Mexico, Canada Tariffs to Hit Feb. 1​

(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump intends to move ahead with plans on Saturday to impose 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada and a 10% levy on China, the White House said, denying a report that he planned to delay the implementation by a month.

“I saw that report, and it is false,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Friday during the press briefing. “I was just with the President in the Oval Office, and I can confirm that tomorrow the Feb. 1 deadline that President Trump put into place” remains, she added.

The Real Reason Trump Wants Canada: Lies and Dark Ties to China - Exclusive Report​

“There are very deep concerns that Canada is being used by China in a very sophisticated economic and truly criminal way,” says Samuel Cooper, an investigative journalist and bestselling author of Willful Blindness. In this exclusive interview with Daniela Cambone, Cooper reveals the truth behind why President Donald Trump targets Canada in his recent tariff rhetoric. He explains that it’s not a tactic to get Canada to renegotiate the trade deal with the U.S., but rather to curb the massive illegal fentanyl trade originating from Canada. “China ships the precursors to the West Coast of Mexico and the West Coast of Canada… so Vancouver is used as a hub for these precursors,” he says. He also details how elite Chinese politicians involve Canada in illegal money laundering, while Canadian politicians turn a blind eye to it. Watch this interview for this bombshell revelation!
