Meet the new Trump, same as the old Trump

Well, the bloom is off the Trumpenstein rose. It was a giddy start to his second term, where it seemed like perhaps he was finally going to fulfill some of his many promises. With people like RFK, Jr., and Tulsi Gabbard, and Kash Patel in his cabinet, and the initial DOGE disclosures, it was hard not to feel at least some bit of optimism.

But the warm and fuzzy rush of hope has subsided. We still hear snatches here and there about some new DOGE disclosure, some outrageous waste of taxpayer money. And the other side, the hopelessly deranged “Woke” Left, predictably claims that all of the DOGE reports are fake, and have been “debunked.” By somebody. Anybody. There can’t possibly be waste, fraud and abuse in our sacred government agencies! Who could even imagine such a thing? But the disclosures seem to be on pause. When are they auditing the Pentagon? The CIA? The FBI? The IRS? The HHS? The Federal Reserve? And with the all the outrageous USAID revelations, what prosecutions are planned? Who will be held responsible? Will there, as always, be no one in power who is held accountable for great crimes against the people?

The district court judge who recently blocked President Donald Trump’s efforts to deport illegal alien gang members attended a suspiciously partisan legal conference just months before his ruling, according to a judicial ethics report.

Judge James Boasberg, who serves on the D.C. District Court, participated in what appears to be nothing more than a Democrat strategy session masquerading as a legal conference in Sun Valley, Idaho.

The New York Times takes 2025’s measles hysteria past 10, all the way to 11. And the fact it published falsehoods to do so doesn’t seem to bother it.

Sometimes you can’t let the science get in the way of The Science (TM).

Or the truth get in the way of a good woke-shaming exercise.

To ensure diverse opinions, The New York Times offers many types of insufferable lefty columnists, including feminist, environmentalist, literaryish, and Southern. The categories are not exclusive. If readers are really lucky, a writer can be all four at once!

Appearing on Face The Nation Sunday, Senator Rand Paul told viewers that the Education Department hasn’t done enough to justify its existence and President Trumps is right to end it.

When asked by activist anchor Margaret Brennan whether low-income schools would continue to receive federal subsidies if the Department is closed, Paul responded “I think the bigger question is, if we’re sending all this money to Kentucky and all the other states, why are our scores abysmal?”

“Why do two-thirds of the kids not read at proficiency? Why do two-thirds of the kids or more not have math proficiency?” Paul further urged.

“Enough is enough. RFK Jr.’s proposal to kick drug ads off TV isn’t radical—it’s responsible. And it’s long overdue.”

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Donald Trump’s Health and Human Services Secretary, is pushing a plan to ban pharmaceutical ads from television. He’s right to push for it—and not just because the U.S. is one of only two countries on earth that allows such advertising (the other being New Zealand).

America’s health system isn’t just flawed; it’s harming public health, distorting journalism, and fueling Big Pharma’s malignant influence over our daily lives.

The progressive media is swooning over a new miniseries produced in Britain and distributed by Netflix called ‘Adolescence’, and after reviewing the story it’s easy to see why.  British government officials are hailing the show as a wake up call and are using it to promote online censorship of the “Manosphere”.  Leftist journalists are seeking to drum up artificial interest, calling it a “masterpiece” that exposes the toxic nature of masculinity.

The European Union has a “new normal” for bloc resolutions that no longer require unanimous votes. Hungary adamantly rejects the proposal to send $22 billion (20 billion euros) to Ukraine, therefore, the bloc instantaneously changed the rules and determined that unanimity is no longer a requirement.

Few know that Bill Gates heavily lobbied for the Inflation Reduction Act, which former President Joe Biden later admitted was intended to combat climate change and not inflation. Gates met with key lawmakers like Senator Joe Manchin ahead of the 2022 legislation. Another tool utilized by Gates was Breakthrough Energy, a venture fund he established in 2015 to promote net zero policies. The group recently laid off most of their employees in Washington, D.C., as Gates shifts methods for “climate” advocacy.

Negotiations have many downsides, such as disputes over compliance, personality conflicts, arousal of anger and contempt, involvement of the egos of the negotiators, and negotiations have not served Russia well. Already Ukraine has violated the partial ceasefire agreement Putin made with Trump:

“A gas pipeline supplying the European Union is on fire in Russia due to an Ukraine Drone strike. A massive pillar of flames is visible near the Kursk(Russia) – Sumy (Ukraine) border. Meanwhile, Russia’s Foreign Affairs Ministry cries foul: “Kyiv has already violated the ceasefire. How will Trump deal with these mad terrorists?”

Obama-appointed district judge Boasberg, who tried to prevent the deportation of a dangerous criminal gang of illegal aliens allowed into the US by the Biden regime, played a key role in fomenting the “Russiagate” hoax used by the FBI in the Democrats’ effort to destroy President Trump during his first term.

If peace is on the way, why are they feverishly preparing for World War III?  It appears to me that NATO countries are convinced that something really big is coming.  Is there something that they know that they aren’t telling the rest of us?  As I discussed yesterday, things in the Middle East are really heating up, and the conflict in Ukraine has reached a very dangerous stage.  If negotiations with Russia fail, both sides are likely to significantly escalate matters in a desperate attempt to win the war, and the Russians could come to the conclusion that a final showdown with NATO has begun.  We do not want the Russians to view the conflict in Ukraine in those terms, because they are already extremely paranoid and it wouldn’t take much to push them over the edge.  Unfortunately, NATO countries continue to do things that will raise tensions instead of easing them.

In the quiet hours of the night, a sudden knock at the door can provoke fear and confusion. But according to Massad Ayoob, a renowned firearms expert and self-defense instructor, the way we respond in such moments can be the difference between life and death.

“Why on earth would you open that door to begin with?” Mr. Ayoob asked during a discussion on home defense strategies on the Wilson Combat YouTube channel. His advice was direct: avoid opening the door entirely unless absolutely necessary. Modern technology – like affordable doorbell cameras and intercom systems – can effectively mitigate risks by allowing occupants to see and communicate with visitors without exposing themselves.
