Donald Trump defends Mike Johnson

Finally, Republicans have found someone who understands negotiating positions. Not surprisingly, his name is Donald Trump. During a talk radio interview with host John Fredericks, Trump defended Mike Johnson, saying "Well, look, we have a majority of one, OK? It’s not like he can go and do whatever he wants to do. I think he’s a very good person. You know, he stood very strongly with me on NATO when I said NATO has to pay up … I think he’s trying very hard."

Trump continued by praising Johnson for securing part of the aid for Ukraine in the form of forgivable loans." Then Trump returned to familiar territory, where "he repeated his calls for Europe to 'pay up.'"

Marjorie Taylor-Greene needed that slap-down because she isn't a team player. Whining that there wasn't anything in the aid package for border security is juvenile. When you have a pro-open borders president of the opposite party and a pro-open borders Democrat as Senate Majority Leader and you have a 1-vote GOP majority in the House, you don't have any negotiating leverage. It's that simple. It's like thinking that the laws of gravity doesn't apply. It's time Republicans figured out that biting off nice-sized gains, then returning for more is infinitely smarter than trying to get everything in 1 bite.

Instead, Trump made a single public stop: a Harlem bodega, the site of a high-profile incident in which a clerk fatally stabbed a customer who was attacking him. The shop was used as a backdrop for the former president’s attempt to draw attention to crime in New York and his claim that the Manhattan district attorney, Alvin Bragg, was pursuing a political case against him rather than go after violent crime. Trump also hosted Polish President Andrzej Duda for dinner at his Trump Tower residence, where Ukraine, among other things, was discussed.
Watch Trump work the room at the bodega:

Compare that with how Biden looks stiff and almost life-like on Earth Day:

Watch how startled Biden looked when reporters started asking him questions. That isn't how a world leader is supposed to conduct himself. That's how a startled little boy reacts when surprised.

If GOP activists work hard, we will elect a unified GOP federal government. Then we will build Trump's wall and finally secure the border.

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
