$40 Billion program resulted in ZERO broadband connections

Confronted with this, liberal John Stewart still fails to make the connection that DOGE is a necessity.  The Let's Go Brandon program was a WASTE American taxpayer's hard earned money.

Yet again, The View self owning but unaware of it. The Trump Derangement Syndrome is in full effect here.  Joy Behar will not remember the Let's Go Brandon bashing as bashing, she will remember it as simply speaking the truth. The ladies on The View are full of something that doesn't smell good.

CNN is getting called out more and more often by guests sick of their lying, and leftist spin:

The left continues to eat itself

They have gone so far off the rails that the more they try to do as propaganda, the more they anger themselves and turn against themselves. We all knew this was unsustainable, now that they are starting to turn on themselves, maybe some of them will come over to the side of common sense. The dwarves are going after Snow White now; only in La-La-Left Land.

An entire political party vs. a private business

Democrats have fostered an environment that encourages people to attack a company. They are encouraging political violence. So I guess it's okay to go open season on George Soros' interests too? This is not a way to engage in politics it's a way to muster an entire country against an individual. They are fostering tyranny. Shameful.

Canadian Healthcare: no Utopia

When American leftist celebrities want to move to Canada because Donald Trump won the election, I'm like "No thanks, we're good." But then I see stuff like this and I start to wonder...

Jokes aside, this is no laughing matter. And to be honest, this is not an exaggerated story.  Wait times for even emergency room visits are abysmal. Healthcare in Canada, despite having many excellent doctors, nurses and other health care workers, is truly sub-par. When you can go to the hospital for anything for free, demand skyrockets. Resources get spread thin; be it doctors, Xray technicians, MRI machines, operating rooms, or whatever else. Wait times skyrocket. And while people wait, they get sicker. 

The upshot is that 'free' healthcare means bad healthcare. And for the record; it ain't free. Our taxes are abysmal too. Someone has to pay all those costs, and it turns out it's the taxpayers.

Voting in federal elections? Proof of citizenship needed

It's about time this happened.  Sure it'll end up in court like pretty much every Trump order (his next order should be something about the activism in the judiciary but that's for another day). Pretty much every country in the world requires voter ID and one that proves citizenship.  Why not the U.S.?

Government waste = 0%

You'd think everyone would be onboard with eliminating wasteful government spending. No one wants the government paying $800 for a hammer. Right? Right?  You'd also think that not one single person believes that the government is 100% efficient, right? I mean, even Democrats can't argue that; if it was 100% efficient, every program they'd ever set up would no longer be necessary. Poverty would be eliminated by now, education would be top notch. But the Democrats' approach to spending is the Billy Idol adage; "More, more, more!"  

If you think about it, the Democrats could squeeze more results from the existing spending if the government were more efficient and less wasteful. So how can they be against DOGE if all it's trying to do is eliminate government waste? With regards to pollution (e.g. recycling and carbon dioxide) they want 0% waste.  Eliminating waste is a good thing.

Not if you're a Democrat. Either they believe that government is already running at 0% waste, or it's something else. We know waste is not 0%; every year the Government Accountability Office discovers waste. Democrats refuse to acknowledge this. They would be smart to agree that cutting waste is a good thing and then try to argue for what they believe is wasteful and needs to be cut. They are instead reflexively firebombing Tesla dealerships. 

Have you ever asked yourselves why? The Democrats are not asking themselves why. They would rather lose standing in the court of public opinion than try to shoehorn themselves into the side of the American people. There can only be one reason for this.  They have a vested interest in continuing the wasteful spending.  They are benefiting from the fraud and the abuse of the American taxpayers. They are self serving in their stance.

The demarcation between the two parties cannot be more clear.  Those who support continued wasteful spending are not on the side of any American; they are self serving, period.

Until government waste actually is 0%, or as close as governmentally possible, Elon Musk and DOGE's work, is an ethical, and indeed honorable pursuit.

My fellow Canadians

Yes, I'm Canadian.  Yes, I'm pro-Trump. But I'm even more a conservative and anti-leftist.  Here's a well thought out argument as to why Canada needs to get back to common sense:

Bernie Sanders' rage quit

The thing that most interests me here is not the interview rage quit, but rather that he claims there are 100 progressive Democrats in the House. They only have 212 seats (including 3 Delegates). That's almost half of the Democratic representatives as socialists. It sould scare me if the party wasn't so out of touch with voters now. My hope is actually for the party to remain this divided, or even better, split into two parties.

All that said, Bernie's rage quit is still a popcorn TV moment.

China executes Canadians

I would not be surprised if those executed were fentanyl mules working for the CCP used to sneak the substance into Canada and the U.S.  They happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time; with Canada seeking to appease the Trump administration on stopping the flow of deadly narcotics into the U.S.  Maybe the executions were designed to destroy the chances of potential disclosure of that fact in light of the tariff pressures. 

The execution of foreign nationals is not to be taken lightly, but Canadians (and Americans) would do well to recognize that China is the real enemy here.

Trump's fallout in Canada is horrible

The Conservative party in Canada as recently as December had a 29 point lead in the polls. This is what has happened since Trump's tariffs pronouncements.

Canadians have rallied around the Liberal government and it's new leader in response to what they perceive as a bully. Canada had the potential to elect a strong leader who would be an effective and strong ally of the United States. That opportunity may now be lost. The leftist Liberals have surged not only back into the race but potentially have enough support to win in a landslide. With a multi-party system, 42% is enough to dominate parliament.

I have been a strong Trump supporter since 2016. I cannot think of any other issue where I would not back him. His approach to Canada is the one area he has been wrong.  Unless Trump did not want an ally and was serious about annexation he's made Canadians' lives, already bordering on miserable, far worse. And I don't think he's serious about annexing Canada. 

I still back Trump. I simply think his approach here has been horribly wrong.

Canada's Future-Failed Prime Minister

Mark Carney will be worse than Trudeau. Polling in Canada for the leftist Liberal party has soared in response to president Trump's tariff threats to Canada. What was inevitably going to be our version of Trump (Pierre Poilievre) this year is in definitely jeopardy. 

Should Mark Carney continue as Prime Minister past the election, Canada is destined to fail. Fast. Canada's failure would not be because of Trump, but rather failed and disproven Liberal socialist policies. Trump may be the boogeyman to Canadian media but the real monster is the power hungry, socialist monsters running our nation for the last decade.

Democrats continue tanking

Schadenfreude anyone?

The tariff long game

What is president Trump doing with tariffs? This is the long game.

Canada's new (interim) Prime Minister heads to Europe

Justin Trudeau is finally gone. His replacement Mark Carney is from the same school of leftism. He's headed off to Europe to make friends, and avoid dealing with president Trump. Thankfully this man's tenure should be very short.

From the government-funded, ultra-liberal CBC's nightly news propaganda:

This guy is just a placeholder until the impending next election. The conservative party leader Pierre Poilievre should win big in that election, though president Trump is not making it any easier for him.

Canada (kinda) has a new leader

The governing Liberal party has elected a successor to Justin Trudeau; it's Mark Carney. Mark Carney does not have a seat in parliament. So technically....

It's also worth noting that the Liberal Party disqualified two thirds of the ballots cast during their leadership race. I know it's not quite the same as the Democratic Party in the U.S. that disqualified every vote from their 2024 primaries, but you have to factor in the exchange rate.

So who is Mark Carney? Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre put it best in this video:

Ben Shapiro stands up for Canada

I think Trump is going to quietly back off on this with respect to Canada. The unintended consequences have already started, even though the tariffs haven't fully yet.

I'm less optimistic about this

In Canada, there's a looming post-Trudeau election. But I'm less optimistic that it will happen before the October deadline. The socialist NDP party leader Jagmeet Singh has indicated he would continue to support the Liberal party's new leader (likely Justin Trudeau policy clone, Mark Carney). Why? He has his pension locked in now. Well, his party has collapsed in the polls as a Liberal alternative now that the party has ditched Trudeau and someone else is taking his place (once again, likely Justin Trudeau policy clone, Mark Carney). He won't be so eager to tank his party or his legacy given that circumstance. And given that, it's looks like they'll just run out the clock.  The irony of that, is that it's more likely to help the Liberal party than the NDP.

Nevertheless, there are those who think the election will be in April.  I'm less optimistic than this:

The Democrats' intra-party civil war

Democrats were wrecked in the last election, even though many on the Left don't even recognize that fact yet. Then again, some have:

This is part of the root of why there's an intra-party civil war brewing within the Democratic Party. Self-awareness.

This version of the Democratic Party, which featured the progenitor of wokeism, Obama himself, as the leading presidential campaign trail surrogate for Harris, was thoroughly rejected in November by the American people. It turns out that voters didn't really know what they were signing up for when they embarked on an extended political journey of "hope" and "change." They weren't interested -- and aren't interested -- in legitimizing the juvenile genital mutilation and chemical castration that has been euphemistically sold as "gender-affirming care." They weren't interested -- and aren't interested -- in assenting to wide-scale importation and resettlement of foreigners whose cultures and customs are antithetical to our own.

Some leading Democrats do finally seem to get the memo. Former Clinton strategist James Carville, for instance, has called for Democrats to distance themselves from the excesses of woke civilizational arson. But many others disagree. There is no indication at all, for instance, that the ladies of "The View" have done any introspection: Shortly after November's electoral shellacking, cohost Sunny Hostin attributed Harris' loss to Donald Trump to "racism" and "misogyny." Surveying the left-of-center punditocracy scene, it often seems that there are far more Hostin-like voices of escalation than there are Carville-like voices of sobriety.

The battle for the heart of the Democrat party is not going to be a minor skirmish. a lot of the radicalism is now embedded in the party:

In order to recover their standing and regain lasting relevance as an electorally feasible national political party, Democrats are going to have to repudiate the entirety of their post-2008/post-Obama cultural legacy. That is the simple truth. The American people want a stable pocketbook, a stable border and a stable world stage. They're not interested in the Obama-Biden-Harris Democratic Party's idiosyncratic conception of waging a culture war.

Are Democrats up to such a challenge? The intraparty civil war is on -- but I certainly have my doubts. Unless and until they do repudiate their cultural militance, however, Democrats will continue to flounder about in irrelevance. Perhaps they'll need to get their clocks cleaned at the ballot box a few more times. That wouldn't be the worst thing.

While the civil war on the left is good news for conservatives, it does come with it's own set of risks. For example, Gavin Newsom has moved from a woke governor to suddenly rejecting wokeism in favor of a more centrist approach. Here's the problem, those who supposedly want to move back to the center were fully on board with the insanity just a few months ago. They are either being disingenuous now, or they were being disingenuous them then.  Either way they are merely opportunists and clearly not interested in, or respectful of, voters. These people are at this point, more dangerous than the woke  far left, who have no clue how out of touch they have become. They have destined themselves to a rump afterthought for at least a long time to come.

Trump Russia Ukraine situation seems to be on track

Trade need not be a war

I honestly believe Trump is wrong blanketing Canada in with Mexico and China in his tariffs.  I'm a Canadian but have been a staunch Trump supporter. Attacking a primary trade partner is a mutually assured destruction scenario. Canadians have been burdened with the stupidity of Justin Trudeau and are sick of him. He has caused untold suffering on Canadians. But this is causing Canadians to rally around him. It's causing former Trump allies within Canada to taking a more combative stance. 

Pierre Poilievre is taken from the mold of Donald Trump; even he's no longer thinking the way he was two months ago.  Trump has torpedoed trade, torpedoed a friendly partner, torpedoed inflation fighting in both countries, he has torpedoed goodwill, he has torpedoed international markets, he has torpedoed conservatism in Canada that was on the rise. It's tarnished America's reputation in many, many countries. 

There are going to be unintended consequences that come out of this, guaranteed. They won't be small, and they could have a long lasting negative impact on all involved.

I get what Trump is trying to do, I do. I still support his agenda. But what he is doing with Canada, he is not going about in the most productive way.
