The Ultimate Winner
Never liked Greene, she reminds me of AOC and Crockett, totally nuts and not to bright, didn’t listen to her before and see nothing to change my mind about her, I do understand why you would flip flop on her but principled people aren’t.Marjorie Taylor Greene explains real America First agenda
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is one of the most ideologically consistent, truly America First members of Congress. She’s a Republican, she’s MAGA, and she supports Donald Trump — but she isn’t afraid to say what policy areas are working and which ones are not. To that end, she recently appeared on Tim Dillon’s podcast, and made some news by admitting that she thinks the tariffs might be getting in the way of President Trump’s agenda, by driving up costs for manufacturers.
“I’m talking to major manufacturing companies and they are saying we’re having a problem with these tariffs,” said Greene. “Has regular people’s stress come off? No. That should be the focus. It shouldn’t be helping your crypto donors. The focus should be the people that showed up at the rallies. I don’t think those people are being served.”
And it’s not just tariffs. MTG also explained why the administration’s deportation policy, if taken to an extreme, is going to hurt American businesses: “We have to do something about labor, and that needs to be a smarter plan than just rounding up every single person and deporting them.”
Not so long ago she also called for the ACA tax credits to be extended. Oh my!
There are things going on beyond MTG expressing her dissatisfaction with aspects of the MAGAist agenda.
U.S. consumers bearing more than half the cost of tariffs so far, Goldman Sachs says
Six months into President Donald Trump’s unprecedented gambit to impose sizable tariffs on imports, U.S. consumers are already shouldering as much as 55% of their costs, according to a new report from Goldman Sachs analysts.
And with new tariffs most likely on the way, the cost burden could rise even higher, they said.

The findings suggest U.S. consumers will continue to struggle with high prices — something Trump had promised to address in the run-up to his re-election.www.nbcnews.com
It's not a particularly good sign for Don when a devotee like Marge doesn't just silently think about the regime's policy failures...............she says what she thinks out loud. That kind of thing can snowball when the coattails of a prez are looking very tattered indeed.
Pile that on with increasing consumer frustration with inflation tied to tariffs, which is likely to worsen, along with growing unemployment numbers forcing the Fed's hand on interest rate cuts........themselves being inflationary........and trump may be looking for someone to put a finger in the dike.
“Well, then what the federal government should have done was accept the assistance of foreign countries, of entrepreneurial Americans who have had solutions that they wanted presented. They can't even get a phone call returned, Bill. The Dutch—they are known, and the Norwegians—they are known for dikes and for cleaning up water and for dealing with spills. They offered to help and yet, no, they too, with the proverbial, can't even get a phone call back.”

5 ways Republicans are breaking with Trump
President Trump is facing increasing resistance from Republicans in Congress to certain proposals and parts of his agenda as he nears the end of his first year back in office.
Trump remains the unquestioned leader of the Republican Party, and aides have argued that any lawmakers who fall out of line risk facing a primary or losing the president’s support. But that hasn’t stopped GOP lawmakers from criticizing Trump’s actions or rebuffing some of his demands.
Are concerns over re-election overtaking blind loyalty to the Orange Menace?

Lawmakers Suggest Follow-Up Boat Strike Could Be a War Crime
A top Republican and Democrats in Congress suggested on Sunday that American military officials might have committed a war crime in President Trump’s offensive against boats in the Caribbean after a news report said that during one such attack, a follow-up strike was ordered to kill survivors.The remarks came in response to a Washington Post report on Friday that said that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had given a verbal order to kill everyone aboard boats suspected of smuggling drugs, and that this led a military commander to carry out a second strike to kill those who had initially survived an attack in early September.
“Obviously if that occurred, that would be very serious, and I agree that that would be an illegal act,” Representative Mike Turner, Republican of Ohio and a former chairman of the Intelligence Committee, said on “Face the Nation” on CBS.
Senator Tim Kaine, Democrat of Virginia, said on CBS that if the report was accurate, the attack “rises to the level of a war crime.” And on CNN, when asked if he believed a second strike to kill survivors constituted a war crime, Senator Mark Kelly, Democrat of Arizona, answered, “It seems to.”

Record-setting personnel issues are marring Trump’s second term
On the surface, President Donald Trump’s second-term personnel operation has been a smoothly running machine. The Senate has confirmed more than 300 civilian nominees since January, even changing the chamber’s rules to move them faster.But there are clear signs of breakdowns behind the scenes. Trump has withdrawn a record number of nominees for a president’s first year in office as he faces a combination of GOP pushback against some picks, vetting issues, White House infighting and, in some cases, the president’s own mercurial views.
Trump has withdrawn 57 nominations, according to Senate data — roughly double the 22 nominations he withdrew during the first year of his first administration and the 29 his immediate predecessor, Joe Biden, withdrew during his first year.
Even after the boys running Project 25 had all that time to line up folks to staff the regime in many cases they still came up with hacks, misfits, and nitwits.

I saw her on a recent Bill Maher show. She's is still the total idiot she always was. She repeatedly put her foot in her mouth by parroting specious talking points and platitudes. She gets justified credit for being on the right side of the Epstein files and ACA tax credit issues. That doesn't absolve her of her past being a destructive nitwit.

Black Friday sales were 4% higher than last year. Even though this is still the Biden economy in many ways Trump has laid the foundation for the strongest economy in history. Wages are up more than inflation and tax cuts will increase spending power. Trumps reforms start on Jan 1st.
We have low cost energy and gas. Less regulations. Less waste in the government. Low cost reliable energy policies not green energy. Investment in manufacturing is at record highs. GDP 3.8%. Inflation slowing. The economy is being transitioned from debt based government spending to wealth based private sector economy. Rents are down as illegals are deported. 2026 will be the best economy in history

Appeals court upholds ruling that disqualified Alina Habba from serving as New Jersey's top prosecutor
In a loss for the Trump administration, an appeals court on Monday upheld a lower court ruling disqualifying Alina Habba from her position as acting U.S. attorney for the District of New Jersey.In a 32-page ruling, the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals found that Habba's appointment violates the Federal Vacancies Reform Act.
"It is apparent that the current administration has been frustrated by some of the legal and political barriers to getting its appointees in place," wrote Judge Michael Fisher.
The decision stems from a motion from Julien Giraud Jr., a New Jersey man who faced drug trafficking and firearm charges that predated Habba's appointment. Giraud moved to dismiss his indictment on July 27, arguing that President Donald Trump's appointment of Habba, who had been overseeing the case, was unlawful.
Appeals court upholds ruling that disqualified Alina Habba from serving as New Jersey's top prosecutor
The decision stems from a motion by a defendant who moved to dismiss his case on the grounds that Habba, a former personal lawyer to Trump, was unlawfully appointed.
How should we characterize this? Alina meets a fate similar to Lindsey's? Another illegal act by a lawless regime?
If the regime had a suggestion box I would put a note inside suggesting they find qualified candidates for US Attorney rather than loyalists not likely to receive Senate confirmation.
