Can’t anybody play this game?

Casey Stengel

As all of you know by now the GOP has offered not only a clean continuing resolution to fund the government but has offered individual bills to pay for the troops and for government workers, ALL of which Democrats have voted against keeping government closed.

Meanwhile the anger is building in EBT land:

I particularly love the lady who complains she can’t get lobster

Now Democrats are fueling this anger because they think that the potential for violence in blue cities is going to move the GOP to give in to their demands. An example:

I included the Date and Time in case they pull it but that’s not the point. The REAL point is how badly they’re setting themselves up.

If I’m the GOP this is what I do

  1. Pass a stand alone vote to fund EBT & the Troops in the house Make sure it’s a roll call vote.
  2. Bring up this bill once passed in the Senate, again MAKE SURE IT’S A ROLL CALL VOTE.
  3. Then watch what happens
    • If the Bill passes then the Dem plan is foiled and not only is EBT funded but the Troops are funded.
    • If the Democrats filibuster the bill and it fails immediate cuts ads like this:

President Trump and the GOP want to make sure that our Military and those dependent on food stamps get their payments on time and they brought up a bill to cover them.

But Senator <name of dem senator> voted no: (video of the roll call of the clerk calling Dem Senator’s name voting no.)

Donald Trump wants to make sure your kids are fed but Senator <dem senator> votes no. (video of roll call of Senator voting no)

Call Senator <Dem Senator> and tell him/her to vote the money to keep your kids from going hungry.

I would cut an ad like this for every Democrat senator and use some of that giant GOP cash advantage to start running them in every state where a Democrat Senator is up for re-election (and maybe a few that aren’t). The ads practically write themselves.

I don’t have access to an AI program to make an example ad but I’d bet a few people out there do.

So please Democrats keeps stalling because once Trump cuts those ads, it will be your offices in your home states that the mob storms.

That the Democrat’s have not thought of this amazes me.

I was pleasantly shocked this morning when the remaining living Israeli hostages were released, I really didn’t expect it to happen. I won’t be shocked if the bodies of the dead ones don’t come back but I’ll be delighted to be wrong.

I was not shocked when the Palestinians in Gaza started slaughtering each other (the ones in areas not still held by Israel of course) that was no surprise.

But if you want to see what is the least surprising thing of all, it’s this:

Not a protestor in sight over the murder of Palestinians by other Palestinians, because in the end the “protestors” don’t care about Arab lives, they simply want Jews dead.

I suspect you will see this lack of reaction from all those who loudly demanded a cease fire because the only people they wanted to cease firing were the Jews.

Unexpectedly of course

Yesterday during the Antifa conference Marco Rubio upstaged the rather important meeting with the news that they where on the verge of a breakthrough in the middle east.

Now I have woken up and the news is Hamas has accepted stage one of the peace deal and the hostages (at least the living ones) will be released on Monday.

Now I don’t for one minute doubt the deal making ability of this Trump administration which has pulled rabbits out of their hats on more occasions then I can count.

But what I DO doubt is the sincerity of Hamas, I doubt that they will release the living hostages, I doubt that they will release the bodies of the dead, I doubt they will disarm and I doubt they will give up killing Jews.

My guess is that they will (at absolute best) release the living hostages and then dig in their heels figuring Trump will not be as adamant about dead bodies when it comes to pushing the peace plan. Of course we might not actually see all the living hostages released either. Given Hamas’ history we also might not see any hostages released and Hamas back out at the last minute.

Now in fairness I’ve argued from the beginning that Israel should consider the hostages dead and crush Hamas without mercy. I know that’s a hard thing but the destruction of Hamas will save a lot more lives in the long run, but it’s not my call it’s Israel’s call and if they were willing to lose troops to free these people then so be it.

Bottom line: I’ll believe that the hostages will be released when they are all turned over to Israel till then I’ll watch and wait.

I hope I’m wrong.

If I am and Trump not only gets the hostages, but secures peace then the Nobel Peace Prize will not be good enough for him.

There is one headwind that a lot of Trump fans don’t understand. The speed at which all of the things that Donald Trump has accomplished in not even nine months in office is completely abnormal.

That speed is akin to Tom Brady’s run with the Patriots. Brady made dominance of the opponent so much the norm that when he was gone New England fans consider the need to build a winning team against other worthy opponents practically an insult.

Trump is winning when he can and pushing forward to keep things going but even with a better team than last time expecting miracles every single day is self defeating. Keep things in perspective.


Another characteristic of the Trump years that I’ve found VERY annoying has been the two extremes. The “all Trump does is evil” extreme that the entire Democrat party has seemed to adopt and the “Trump is God personal representative on earth” extreme meaning we must always be in lockstep.

While the first is considerably worse to the point where people are actually defending crime and murder both are tiresome. I understand a fair amount of people make their living either by trashing trump or by worshiping him loudly but that’s not for me.

For me Trump is the best president of my lifetime and if his term ended today it would be a toss up if I would rank him ahead #2 or behind Lincoln as #3.

But in the end he is simply the president who will not be president in four years and the various grifters will find another way to grift once he’s gone.


There is one simple rule concerning Trump that when I mentioned it to DaWife had her laughing out loud.

Trump lives to troll his foes (I have a brother like this, he loves to wind up people especially those who are asses)

When given the choice between doing the right thing OR doing the right thing while Trolling his foes, Trump will ALWAYS choose the latter.

When doing a neutral thing Trump will ALWAYS troll his foes.

While a lot of this comes from how they treated him his foes have enabled this by hanging on his every word.

Trump has the advantage here because for decades many of those he trolled approached him on bended knee for cash or to be invited to parties etc, and only turned when he was a threat to their power. He knows them for what they are which is why he will always have the advantage.


On a similar vein Robert Kennedy is having a field day with his foes and there are many and he’s doing it in a very simple way.

He’s speaking the truth openly, and not caring what they say because like Trump, many of those who are attacking him were fans in the past when they thought they could use his wealth or name for their advantage.

So he confronts them directly, speaking plain truth to folks who have gotten rich off of lobbyist money and deals, he knows how the system works and answers with plain factual answers because he actually believes his job is not to protect the CDC but to protect the people it is supposed to serve.

He’s lucky the Democrats did not nominate him, they would have assassinated him by now if they had and elevated a deep state VP to power.


If you really want to understand why so many people are fighting so hard to preserve the deep state, or crime or to destroy Israel etc etc etc it really comes down to one thing.

There were an awful lot of people who made an awful lot of money out of all the grift that was and is going on.

Every single NGO, every single admin, every single “influence” who was and or is getting a piece of everything from China money, to Cartel money, to Qatar money to taxpayer money knows that clearing things up means they are of no use to the elites who are getting the lion’s share of this stuff when means that the days of wine and roses are gone.

This is why it’s smart to live modestly. Once you get used to the very high life it becomes difficult to go back to the norms of life, even norms that are fairly comfortable. Such people will do anything and clutch at anything to keep themselves at the current social level even if it means debt and disgrace or worse.

Hundreds of thousands have been stealing from hundreds of millions and those hundreds of thousands will fight for the right for their cut to the end because the alternative is to see themselves as they are not special, but a regular human being.

Cue Ray Liotta as Henry Hill:
