We won in 2024. To me that's redemption. Trump should stop talking about the stolen election.

Trump’s Failings Are Obvious. Why Are People Still Surprised?
We learned, at the start of the week, that Donald Trump had sunk to new lows with most Americans. According to The Times’s poll with Siena College, Trump had dropped to 42 percent approval. A CNN poll shows Trump at 41 percent and both The Associated Press and The Washington Post have Trump at 39. His much-vaunted performance with Asians, Hispanics and Black Americans is also evaporated, as they shift back toward Democrats in response to the president’s poor performance. No president, not even this president in his first term, has become as unpopular as quickly as this iteration of Donald Trump.
And it’s not as if he has the ability to shift course. He is stubbornly committed to his tariffs, almost taunting anyone who might be worried about higher prices. He is committed to his unpopular cuts to federal agencies, his unpopular attacks on the federal judiciary and his increasingly unpopular immigration policies. Given his attitudes and the likelihood of an economic downturn, Trump is more likely to crater than he is to rise with the public.
All of this was basically predictable. It was predictable that Trump would pursue a ruinous set of policies — he campaigned on them. It was predictable that he would choose people ill-equipped to run the government; he did it the last time he was president. It was obvious that he would be surrounded by permissive advisers more interested in their own narrow ideological projects than in the well-being of the American people.

According to Kahlenberg, observations that the Trump administration is not interested in fairness as such are “over the top.” To him, the president simply wants the government to “treat different racial groups the same.”Gift article, for you readers.

This is hard to take seriously. So far, in this apparent effort to spread racial equality, the White House has removed, without apparent cause or real justification, a number of Black Americans from senior positions in the military, removed the work of Black, women and Jewish authors from the Naval Academy (while leaving books such as “Mein Kampf”), criticized the Smithsonian, particularly its Museum of African American History, for spreading supposedly “improper ideology,” pushed the National Park Service to rewrite its history of the Underground Railroad, gutted the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department, rescinded executive orders mandating desegregation in federal contracting, revoked a decades-old school desegregation order, and fired dozens of women and minorities from the boards that review science and research at the National Institutes of Health.
At the same time, the White House has elevated — to positions of great influence — a set of disastrously unprepared loyalists whose main qualifications seem to be the way they look. There is no question that Donald Trump chose Pete Hegseth — formerly a weekend Fox News host — to lead the Department of Defense because he looked straight out of “central casting.”
It takes nothing more than simple observation to conclude that the administration’s war on D.E.I. is a conscious effort to undermine recognition of Black Americans, women and other groups as well as stigmatize their presence in positions of authority. Frankly, one has to be willfully blind to the substance of the administration’s war on D.E.I. to think that it has anything to do with equal treatment.

Top GOP Senator brutally mocks Trump’s ‘big beautiful bill’
“It was a mistake to do one big, beautiful bill, so we’re actually going to add to the deficit,” Johnson said Thursday on Fox Business. “And Republicans aren’t fixing the problem. We’re exacerbating it. That’s unacceptable.”
When asked if he would consider voting for the bill at all, Johnson said he would not.
“No, I refuse to vote for something that’s going to actually increase the deficits, exacerbate the problem from the current situation...But unfortunately, decisions were made to do ‘one big, beautiful bill.’ It’s not beautiful. I’m sorry. It’s not a ‘big, beautiful bill.’ That’s called rhetoric. It’s mislabeling. It’s false advertising,” he added.
Earlier this week, Johnson penned an op-ed titled, “The Ugly Truth About the ‘Big Beautiful Bill,’” for The Wall Street Journal.
More from the op-ed:
The bill faces an uphill battle in a Congress that has just a narrow majority of Republicans. A number of Republicans have already come out against the bill, making it difficult for House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) to unite his caucus.

Let’s see if I can help.
1. Qatar is a terrorist state that funds Hamas, the Taliban, aligned with Iran and is pouring billions into our country fomenting riots, etc.
2. Hamas is a monstrous genocidal terrorist organization that slaughtered, raped, and brutalized Israelis and Americans in ways so horrific the videos cannot be shown by our media.
3. Saudi Arabia funded Al-Qaeda and 9/11, slaughtering over 2000 Americans. It still hasn’t even apologized.
Israel is our ally. Stop pissing on them.
