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?

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Image
Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

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

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
