I don't know anyone who sings their praises, I certainly do not, nor have I. In fact, I have been more critical of them than the Repubs or Trump, so maybe "others" need reminding, I do not.

What I am tired of is Christians saying the "better of two evils" is a good thing. Seriously?
Donald might be able to do something productive but for one thing: He suffers from magical thinking. He has a disconnect between what he thinks is possible and what is actually possible. It will continue to cause him to overreach and act irrationally until he comes to grip with the reality that just thinking something and saying it doesn't make it magically happen. There has to be planning and a strategy and people who know what they're doing to help him. Unfortunately for the country, I really don't see him changing; he would need years of intensive therapy.

As my mom would say “ if it doesn’t apply to you move on”.

As for voting for the lesser of two evils you have absolutely, unequivocally, voted for the lesser of two evils EVERY single time you have voted! It will always be that way until Jesus Christ Returns. We can only vote for the platform of the party, and pray for those in office.

Breaking: For the First Time in Rasmussen’s Polling History a Majority of Americans Says US Is on the Right Track


For the first time in Rasmussen Report’s history, a majority of Americans says the US is on the right track.
For the first time ever!
This is a huge statement on President Trump’s fearless leadership and common-sense economics and foreign policy.

This is also a statement on the incredibly talented men and women he has surrounded himself with.

And, it also is a statement to the waning influence the mainstream media has on the American public. You can only lie to the American public so many times before they look elsewhere for their information.
President Trump also enjoys a 52% favorability rating!

LOL...........I have to laugh guy...........LOL Aren't you the one who announced last year on here that you ended up homeless. Not to shame you but to point out that you will proudly exclaim that folks who believe in a flat earth have no credibility with you. Then you are bold enough to say that someone who has a track record of actually making and hitting some goals is deficient. By the very measure you mete out it makes it really hard to take you serious in any shape or form.

To his credit:

Illegal Border Crossings “Plummeted” In January - The

Illegal border crossing numbers plummeted in February: report
The US Border Patrol has stepped up their efforts to stop illegal entries across our Nations borders since Trump took Office. IMO, because they know they will have the support of the White House and the Attorney General. Allowed to do their job and enforce our Nations Laws, the Border Patrol can do good things in this area.
Still, not the greatest fix. He's been using the military on US soil to get it done; that's what we have the national guard for. If people get used to the idea of having the military solve our domestic problems, where does it stop? Donald has a military parade scheduled in DC for his birthday; the kind of thing you only see in dictatorships. As a Christian, I'd like to see politicians finding better ways to let more people in legally, not kick them out.

I'd give the Donald credit if for once he'd do something by legal means. Nearly everything he's supposedly accomplished is smoke and mirrors; it comes with illegal strings attached. I'm not going to cheer him for that. He has the House and the Senate, let them pass legislation that will accomplish what what he wants legally. But he's too impatient for that; he'd rather sit in the oval office and sign illegal and unconstitutional executive orders.

What's really hilarious is how Alex Jones has reversed course. He used to rant and rave about the government using the military on US soil; how they were going to disappear people to secret concentration camps; and etc. Now he's praising the Donald for using the military to arrest people on US soil.

I see the problem here, ResidentAlien needs his posts translated from his alien language (Remember when the Aliens had a book "How to Serve Man", same idea).

RA: Still, not the greatest fix.

Translation: Expect bigger fixes to come!

RA: He's been using the military on US soil to get it done; that's what we have the national guard for. If people get used to the idea of having the military solve our domestic problems, where does it stop?

Translation: The sky is the limit!

RA: Donald has a military parade scheduled in DC for his birthday; the kind of thing you only see in dictatorships.

Translation: I and my fellow leftists in Canada are green with envy.

RA: As a Christian, I'd like to see politicians finding better ways to let more people in legally, not kick them out.

Translation: But not as an alien.

RA: I'd give the Donald credit if for once he'd do something by legal means.

Translation: Gone are the good ole days of using lawfare to attack your political opponents.

RA: Nearly everything he's supposedly accomplished is smoke and mirrors; it comes with illegal strings attached.

Translation: The guy is a magician.

RA: I'm not going to cheer him for that.

Translation: LOL, I'm not going to cheer him for anything. If he cures cancer I'll be complaining about all the doctors and nurses losing their jobs.

RA: He has the House and the Senate, let them pass legislation that will accomplish what what he wants legally. But he's too impatient for that; he'd rather sit in the oval office and sign illegal and unconstitutional executive orders.

Translation: Is there any way to stop this guy?

Not so the Constitution empowers Congress to "execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel invasions". Over a period of time from 1792-1807 legislation was passed starting with the Calling Forth Act and culminating in the Insurrection Act of 1807. Giving the President the power to use federal troops under certain circumstances.

When states and local authorities pass legislation in conflict with federal law. That is the textbook definition of insurrection. States and cities passing safe harbor laws and calling themselves refuge states or cities. Doing so in the face of federal law allows the President under the Insurrection Act to call up federal troops and use them for the execution of federal law. See Civil War and aftermath for example. If states or cities decide to use local law enforcement for the impediment of federal law the President is empowered to use federal troops for enforcement. See Civil Rights and desegregation of schools for examples.

The courts have ruled that the Posse Comitatus Act does not allow for troops to be used in direct action. However, it does allow for federal troops to be used in indirect action such as logistics and support. So federal troops can be used for transportation and other means than arrest and detaining. So he is acting within the constitution and the power it affords him.

It's amazing that the approval rating isn't 90-95%. Why flee a country only to make it like what you fled from?

But the left does it. They flee from their wrecked states only to wreck the state they moved to.

I read the article and not sure what benefits are being cut since the budget was raised by 4%. They are cutting jobs or personnel is what they are doing. This won't slow down vets healthcare because if the time frame that they can be seen for a problem is longer than 20 days for primary care or 28 days for specialty care it makes them automatically eligible for the community care program. Which allows them to see outside specialist or doctors so they can receive healthcare in a timely fashion.

https://www.newsweek.com/va-changes-rules-veterans-health-care-access-2074542

"Veterans enrolled with the Department of Veterans Affairs can now access non-VA health care more quickly after the agency removed a major approval step.

Why It Matters

Millions of veterans rely on VA health care and face ongoing challenges of access, delays and administrative hurdles. Since 2019, the MISSION Act has allowed veterans to seek non-VA care under specific conditions, but a required secondary review often slows the process.

With the new rule, veterans can access care faster at facilities closer to home or with shorter waiting times, particularly as the VA's capacity and staffing face increasing pressure amid growing enrollment and recent budget debates.

What To Know
The VA has announced that, effective immediately, veterans no longer need a second VA physician to review and approve their eligibility to receive non-VA health care. Instead, the determination will rest solely on the veteran and their referring VA clinician.

The policy seeks to reduce wait times and administrative bottlenecks for those who meet the criteria for community care as established under existing law.
Veterans are eligible for non-VA health care in certain scenarios, including these:
  • It is in their best medical interest.
  • The required care is not available at a VA medical facility.
  • The veteran resides in a state or territory without a full-service VA facility, and the VA cannot schedule an appointment within required wait time or drive time standards (20 days for primary care, 28 days for specialty care, or travel distances of more than 30 or 60 minutes)
  • VA care does not meet quality benchmarks."
So my question is what benefits are being cut?

Seems like the courts can't get Trump to obey, even if they DO sanction him. He’s picking up people off the street and deporting them without due process like a third-world dictator. He’s probably not worried about being fined OR going to jail. Sigh.
Seems like the courts before Trump was president couldn't allow parents to deny sex changes for their underage children.
Oh well. You reap what you sow liberals.
