President Trump: Making America Normal Again

[candycorn]

The majority of Americans who voted for President Trump did so because of the MAGA vision of a strong, secure, free America that offers maximum liberty, options, choices, opportunity and prosperity for all.

That is what is normal America to those people.

So far the cabinet President Trump is putting together are all committed to that vision, but wow, they sure are causing a lot of heads to explode. Nevertheless Trump is moving forward to make the MAGA vision a reality and is putting together the most unusual, interesting, unexpected and unlikely team in American history to accomplish it.

I am a bit curious if the most hard core left aren't at least a little bit curious and interested in how this will all work out. I sure am.

What does a normal America look like to you? Is the Biden Administration agenda and results what you think should be normal? Or are you willing to give the MAGA team the majority of voters voted for a chance?

Setting aside the talking points, partisan rhetoric and propaganda, aren't you a little hopeful that the MAGA agenda, the MAGA team heading government, the resolve to make America great again, will yield good things? Or are you hoping it fails?

We all know it but Fetterman has voted with the Dems:

Fetterman has voted Democrat because he is a Democrat. But I have somewhat grudgingly come to appreciate quite a bit of his perspective. He does seem to be one of the more intellectually honest ones. Will he ever leave that party? I don't know. But I bet they aren't liking him a whole lot these days.

The Democrats have now declared all out cancel war on Elon Musk and DOGE. It is more important than ever that we Patriots get behind that cause. They will make some mistakes and may even overreach at times, as government often does, and that will be pointed out. But mistakes/overreach can be corrected.

But perhaps other than getting the border under control, booting the illegal element out of here as much as possible, and ending deadly senseless wars, probably no other effort has been so important to restore America to the nation it was intended to be, i.e. 'normal.'

Another four years of it. Does it never end!

Even during the Biden years, the madness endured.

Blaming Republicans is all the Democrats have had for a very long time. During the George W. Bush administration, everything that happened that was bad was his fault according to the Democrats.

During the Obama Administration, everything that went wrong--and a lot went wrong--was blamed on George W. Bush.

During the Trump 45 Administration, everything that was wrong was Trump's fault.

During the Biden Administration, everything that was wrong--which was pretty much everything--was Trump's fault.

And now you can bet that anything that is wrong in the Trump 47 Administration is Trump's fault.

Musk: Democrats are raising alarms that the Trump administration is again attempting to seize Congress’ power of the purse by giving officials affiliated with Musk access to the Treasury Department’s payment system. Most Republicans have been publicly silent about the move and its potential to circumvent Congress. Top Senate Democrats will put the issue front and center at a news conference Monday afternoon.

As Musk rattles Washington — his latest target is USAID — he’s using his social media platform X to target Republicans. Musk over the weekend said GOP Sen. Todd Young was a “deep state puppet” in a post before deleting it and then calling Young a “great ally.” What happened in between? A phone call where the two discussed Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency.

This is one in a series of actions coopting Congress's authority over spending and or violating the law. Dotard is testing the limits of Dem's ability to stop him from trying to amass autocratic power...............as many of us predicted he would.

And I would like to go on the record along with the entire Trump Administration that those who are born white and/or straight and/or who have been financially successful are citizens, human beings, people worthy of respect and should be judged on who they are instead of the color of their skin.

This post is particularly hateful but is typical of the Democrats who have become the most racist demographic in America.

Along these same lines, the Democrats, especially on social media, are using a lot of photos selectively cropped or positioned as they did of that one with Karoline Leavitt. This one of the Carter funeral for instance, they have gleefully posted everywhere as the Carter Center photographer selectively cut Donald and Melania Trump out of it.

And of course the dishonest photo manipulation so they can ridicule Melania for reading her funeral program upside down:

The honest media shows this:

The video here is rather amazing and shows a side of both Obama and Trump you don't see in the media or on social media. Not sure if Obama shook hands with Trump and Melania though but there is no hostility evident there.

My personal take on it is that it may be the most single important action of the Trump 47 Administration after closing the border and ejecting the illegals, especially the criminal element among them.

It is the first time in a long time that the issue of a Deep State usurping the power of the people has been addressed. It is intended to eject the bad actors and restore efficiency, effectiveness, affordability, excellence, integrity to the U.S. government.

Off topic maybe: Just saw a news flash that ICE has arrested Speedy Gonzales.

Back on topic:

Here's more on DOGE and the Democrats' reaction to it. Commenting on Schumer's comment: how 'secret' is a group that names the names of?

 

[Foxfyre]

So what do you think. We are getting our money's worth with more than 1/3rd of the FBI agents focused on going after J6 'criminals' (which of course would all be Trump supporters? They sure weren't going after anybody who is anti- Trump like Phelps or ANTIFA or BLM or whoever.

How is it Greg that you have so much common sense and appreciation for what Trump and Company are doing and want to do when so many of your own country people are so woke?

(I don't really expect an answer. Rhetorical question because both countries seems to be a mixed bag of political philosophies. Australia is lucky to have you and we appreciate your appreciation for a normal America.)

to ShahdagMountains et al and all who are interested in the big picture in a normal America:

The following is why we need a DOGE. Look at the outlays listed here and think how hard you had to work for the taxes you paid and can you honestly justify this? Believe you're getting your money's worth for the taxes you paid or the debt we now owe?

Begin quote:

And this is just the tip of the iceberg of unjustifiable use of the people's money. Can we say violation of the people's trust?N"Democrats and unaccountable bureaucrats don’t want Americans to know how their hard-earned tax dollars are being wasted abroad. Chairman Mast is here to set the record straight.

Several egregious examples include:

$15 million for condoms to the Taliban through USAID.

$446,700 to promote the expansion of atheism in Nepal through the State Department.

$1 million to boost French-speaking LGBTQ groups in West and Central Africa through the State Department.

$14 million in cash vouchers for migrants at the southern border through the State Department.

$20,600 for a drag show in Ecuador through the State Department.

$47,020 for a transgender opera in Colombia through the State Department.

$32,000 for an LGBTQ-centered comic book in Peru through the State Department.

$55,750 for a climate change presentation warning about the impact of climate change in Argentina to be led by female and LGBT journalists through the StateDepartment.

$3,315,446 for “being LGBTQ in the Caribbean” through USAID.

$7,071.58 for a BIPOC speaker series in Canada through the State Department.

$80,000 for an LGBTQ community center in Bratislava, Slovakia through the State Department.

$3.2 million to help Tunisian migrants readjust to life in Tunisia after deportation through the State Department.

$16,500 to foster a “united and equal queer-feminist discourse in Albanian society” through the State Department.

$10,000 to pressure Lithuanian corporations to promote “DEI values” through the State Department.

$8,000 to promote DEI among LGBTQ groups in Cyprus through the State Department.

$1.5 million to promote job opportunities for LGBTQ individuals in Serbia through USAID.

$70,884 to create a U.S.-Irish musical to promote DEI in Ireland through the State Department.

$39,652 to host seminars at the Edinburgh International Book Festival on gender identity and racial equality through the State Department.

$2.5 million to build electric vehicle charging stations in Vietnam’s largest cities through USAID.

$425,622 to help Indonesian coffee companies become more climate and gender friendly through USAID."

One thing that is not normal about what Trump is doing to America is that we are losing the tag of being the world's Democracy example and with Musk closing down USAID, it shows that we have lost our ability to care about the people in the world. Closing USAID means we no longer will give aid to countries that suffer from Malaria, HIV, Polio, etc.

Trump is making us be a country that only cares for itself

I hope it sticks. I have a hunch the courts might rule this one is a states rights issue and not within the jurisdiction of the federal government. But as sporting events cross state lines, it might be okay.

We can hope.

Musk has no power to close down US AID. But he does have the power audit and recommend.

Show your evidence that shutting down USAID, an agency within a much larger Agency, will prevent the USA from doing anything that is appropriate for the USA to be doing.

Question: Do you approve of those cash outlays listed in Post #556?
