Donald Trump's loyalties questioned

Shooting from the lip hip is one of Donald Trump's specialties. He isn't especially consistent in telling the truth. This time, Mr. Trump "called for a Republican to challenge Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) Monday night, even though the filing deadline to enter the congressional contest passed last week." This isn't especially surprising, considering the fact that Trump's loyalties are situational at best. By comparison, Chip Roy's loyalties are principled. Chip Roy's loyalties are principled, just like Gov. Ron DeSantis, Rep. Roy's endorsed preference for president.

It's long past time to start calling Trump out as too dishonest for the job of president. Trump's almost as dishonest as Hakeem Jeffries, Dan Goldman or Jamie Raskin. Not surprisingly, Trump's dishonesty was captured forever when Trump took to Truth Social to say "Has any smart and energetic Republican in the Great State of Texas decided to run in the primary against RINO Congressman Chip Roy. For the right person, he is very beatable. If interested, let me know!!!"

First, calling Chip Roy a RINO is like calling Trump disciplined. Next, saying that Roy is "very beatable" is like saying that Walter Mondale had a legitimate shot at defeating Reagan in 1984. I won't call Trump an outright liar but totally comfortable calling Trump dishonest.

Trump has been publicly critical of Roy since he voted to affirm Biden’s Electoral College victory on Jan. 6, 2021. Roy called Trump’s actions "clearly impeachable conduct" in the immediate aftermath of the riots at the U.S. Capitol, though he ultimately voted to not impeach Trump.
Last night, Roy and Gov. DeSantis were interviewed by Kayleigh McEnany. It's worth checking out:

Ask yourself this: does Roy sound like a RINO? Or does Trump sound like a RINO with his proposed amnesty bill that Paul Ryan sponsored?

Trump promised to build the wall and have Mexico pay for it. He failed on both counts. Now he's calling one of the most conservative members in the Freedom Caucus a RINO. QUESTION: Do words mean anything to Trump? Or are they just tools he uses to bamboozle voters with? Either way, Trump isn't a trustworthy person. There's tons of examples proving that. Steve Deace nails it in this tweet:

    Donald Trump has no loyalty to question. His first, last, and only loyalty is to Donald Trump. Period.

      It's a rhetorical statement. Chill a little, ok?

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio
