Democrat's NoBudget Hypocrisy
-
As Trump and the Republicans drive toward their “big beautiful budget bill” the Democrats and their PravdaMedia demigod and lie and decry the proposed budget in contrast to their NoBudgets when Obama was chief!
-
Clearly the Trump budget is still a ‘deficit budget’ however by stimulating the economy and cutting major expenses and setting a course for an improved economy, it holds out hope for the future.
-
Let’s look back at the ‘Obama-Democrat NonBudget of ill repute’ and reflect on how hypocritical the Democrats and their supporters really are and how their cries for ‘fiscal responsibility’ were far from their view when they were avoiding writing budgets with massive deficits!
-
-
2012: Obama and associates have foisted upon the American people yet another “Budget of Ill Repute”; not only doesn’t it have any Senate Democrat means of support: but for the last 1,000 days (3 years) Obama and his Senate Democrat cronies have not passed, supported, nor enacted any budget!
During these 1,000 days, the federal government has spent $9.4 trillion, adding $4.1 trillion in debt!
-
A budget is the legal mechanism by which spending is managed.
No budget – No spending management – no controls -- do whatever you want to do!
This is clearly in violation of their Constitutional duties and responsibilities.

Iran “The Dead Snake Syndrome”
-
Growing-up in the country involved being ‘advised’ about poisonous snakes ie: rattlers, copper-heads and water-moccasins.
Part of the “schooling” was the warning that cutting a snake in half does not ‘defang’ it, at least not perhaps until the ‘sun goes down’………something about ‘cold-blooded’ creatures.

Iran is down, but like a halved-snake, is still very dangerous

We should Not underestimate Iran’s military!
Iran is a large country with a large army with the capability to mount major land-warfare. It would take a major war to defeat and occupy Iran.
Iraq failed in its war from 1980 to 1988.
According to the Global Firepower Index, Iran's military is ranked 16th out of 145 countries in 2025. Iran's military has approximately 610,000 active-duty personnel and 350,000 reservists, making it one of the largest in the Middle East.
-
Regime change did Not work out well for the Shaw-Ayatollah swap! We threw the Shaw under the bus and then got a really bad new bus driver!
-
Hopefully a peace can be negotiated and can be extended to the entire Middle-East region.
As long as the sun will shine, as long as the rivers will flow:
we’re Not proud of the way we made that one work either!

NYC Socialist TakeOver
-
NYC has been a left-wing entity for years with socialistic programs and policies dominating the culture, government and politics of the city and the state.
Mayor De Blasio in 2014 to 2021 was the personification of socialism.
The current mayor Adams may be less socialistic; however, he is totally tied-up and neutered by a far-left-wing city council.
The new socialist star to emerge is councilman Mamdani who is indeed yet another Evita!

Democrats fret about national fallout after Mamdani stuns in New York City
https://apnews.com/article/new-york-mayor-zohran-mamdani-trump-biden-1561ca0aa1821f88b97603f00221b64f
NEW YORK (AP) — The stunning success of Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old self-described democratic socialist, in the race for New York City mayor has exposed anew the fiery divisions plaguing the Democratic Party as it struggles to repair its brand nearly half a year into Donald Trump’s presidency.
-
Many progressives cheered the emergence of the young and charismatic Mamdani, whose candidacy caught on with viral campaign videos and a focus on the cost of living. But the party’s more pragmatic wing cast the outcome as a serious setback in their quest to broaden Democrats’ appeal and move past the more controversial policies that alienated would-be voters in recent elections.
-
-
The millennial progressive, who would be the city's first Muslim and South Asian mayor, has leaned into his roots in a diverse city. He's posted one campaign video entirely in Urdu and mixed in Bollywood film clips. In another, he speaks Spanish.
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cly2rgzye9no
"This is a city where one in four of its people are living in poverty, a city where 500,000 kids go to sleep hungry every night," he told the BBC at a recent event. "And ultimately, it's a city that is in danger of losing that which it makes it so special."
-
For starters he has proposed:
-
Free bus service citywide
Rent freezes and stricter accountability for negligent landlords
A chain of city-owned grocery stores focused on affordability
Universal childcare for children aged six weeks to five years
Tripling the production of rent-stabilized, union-built housing

UVa President Jim Ryan Resigns
-
University of Virginia President Jim Ryan has resigned under pressure from the DOJ, which claimed he lied about his efforts to dismantle DEI at the school.
https://roanoke.com/news/state-regional/education/article_a8060206-732a-5d00-b992-72aa821a4564.html#tracking-source=home-top-story
University of Virginia President Jim Ryan has resigned under pressure from the Trump administration Department of Justice.
DOJ officials claim Ryan slow-walked the removal of diversity, equity and inclusion programs at the school and misrepresented the steps UVa has taken to end them after the White House and the university's governing Board of Visitors explicitly instructed him to do so.
-
Ryan's resignation is a victory for the conservative alumni group that calls itself the Jefferson Council. The council spearheaded a campaign this year to oust Ryan, claiming his plans to dismantle DEI at UVa were "superficial" at best.

Renewable Energy ‘TrainWreck’
-
The wheels are coming off the Gore, Kerry, Greta Renewables and global warming wagon:
-
If only they and their PravdaMedia had been realistic and honest about the world’s climate history and current changes, the renewable limitations and duplicate costs and had they proposed a realistic time-line and costs for a responsible migration to a new power-paradigm for the US things would be different today!
-
The public has stopper following the energy-pied pipers and are starting to focus on the reality of history and science and economics.
Conversely, we should Not throw-out the baby with the bath-water.
We indeed need to migrate away from fossil-fuels because they are limited, result in massive CO2 and result in increasing international conflicts.
If only the ‘renew-a-bulls’ had proceeded with responsible and creditable plans and actions we would be in a better energy-place going forward.

Yet again the PravdaMedia has spent the past days discounting and marginalizing the US strike on the three Iranian Nuclear Bomb enrichment and manufacturing and storage sites in Iran.
Not clear that any of their ‘Mouth-Pieces have any experience or knowledge for assessing what they are opining about.

The attack and bombing was a major military accomplishment with No loss of US lives or assets.

--
The administration is claiming massive damage to the facility based on the:
PreBomb intelligence that the targeted materials were there based on the ongoing observations and radiation measurements
Precision of the hits as photographed
The number and accuracy of hits directly on target
The destructive power of the bombs utilized

Perhaps the UN Inspectors will get onsite and do a proper facility assessment ---- they are so unbiased and dedicated to document the truth as they have always done – NOT – just more PravdaMedia AntiUS garbage!

President Donald Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth railed against the "fake news" media during a NATO summit press conference for casting doubt that the U.S. strikes on Iran obliterated the country's nuclear program.
-
"A statement came in from the Atomic Energy Commission of Israel," Trump said during a Wednesday press conference from The Hague as he wrapped up his NATO summit trip in the Netherlands. "They're very serious people, as you know."
"'The devastating U.S. strike on Fordow destroyed the site's critical infrastructure and rendered the enrichment facility totally inoperable,'" Trump read from the letter. "'It was devastated. We assessed that the American strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities had set back Iran's ability to develop nuclear weapons for many years to come. This achievement can continue indefinitely if Iran does not get access to nuclear material.'"

Iran appears to confirm its military will cease operations against Israel
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/06/23/israel-iran-live-updates-us-trump/
President Donald Trump said in an announcement on social media that Iran and Israel had agreed to a ceasefire, ending what he said should be called the “12-day war.” He congratulated both countries, saying the conflict “could have gone on for years, and destroyed the entire Middle East.” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi appeared to confirm its military would halt military operations against Israel, if Israel stopped its attacks.
-
Israel has agreed to the ceasefire proposed by President Donald Trump, it said Tuesday morning. In a statement, the government said it had achieved its military objectives against Iran. “Israel thanks President Trump and the United States for their support in defense and for their participation in removing the Iranian nuclear threat,”

Israel and Iran enter shaky ceasefire as Trump accuses both of violations
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/06/24/iran-israel-us-trump-ceasefire-updates/
Israel and Iran entered into a shaky ceasefire Tuesday morning, bringing an uncertain end to 12 days of fighting that had sparked fears of regional war. The ceasefire appeared to be in immediate trouble as both sides traded accusations of attacking each other shortly after acknowledging its start. President Donald Trump, who announced the ceasefire on Monday evening, told reporters that both Israel and Iran had violated the agreement — adding that he wasn’t sure they did so intentionally — and warned Israel specifically to stop striking Iran. “BRING YOUR PILOTS HOME, NOW!” he said in a social media post. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz had accused Iran of firing a wave of missiles toward Israel and said he instructed the military to “respond forcefully to Iran’s violation of the ceasefire.”

China facing oil squeeze if Tehran shuts off strait chokepoint
https://washingtontimes-dc.newsmemory.com/?token=c7799509c5b71b8bedc5470c4570622c_685aa366_9867cd6&selDate=20250624&goTo=A08&artid=1&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=washingtontimes-E-Editions&utm_source=washingtontimes&utm_content=Read-Button
The Chinese government is facing a potential shutoff of vital oil shipments if Iran, a key Beijing ally, follows through with a threat to close the strategic Hormuz.
An estimated 45% of China’s oil passes through the strait on tankers and a halt would further weaken China’s struggling economy, according to analysts.

https://washingtontimes-dc.newsmemory.com/?token=c7799509c5b71b8bedc5470c4570622c_685aa366_9867cd6&selDate=20250624&goTo=A08&artid=1&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=washingtontimes-E-Editions&utm_source=washingtontimes&utm_content=Read-Button
The Chinese government is facing a potential shutoff of vital oil shipments if Iran, a key Beijing ally, follows through with a threat to close the strategic Hormuz.
An estimated 45% of China’s oil passes through the strait on tankers and a halt would further weaken China’s struggling economy, according to analysts.

DeNuclearize Iran By Force
-
The Trump Team attacked and destroyed Iran’s three primary nuclear weapons manufacturing facilities after unproductive long-term efforts to get Iran’s leadership to self-disarm.
The facilities were deep underground and required very specialized bombs.
Escalation of hostilities going forward is of great concern and will be met by the major build-up of US military assets in the region.
World-wide terror attacks upon US and Israel by Iran’s proxies is probable.

Career Ending Events
-
Anyone who has been in a number of organizational tense situations has observed someone, either through inexperience or lack of knowledge, say or do something that was “career ending or limiting”.
High on the list of transgressions is to "contradict the boss’s" statements, actions or positions.
Such is the case for Trump’s, DNI Tulsi Gabbard, who stated in March to a congressional hearing that Iran was Not close to an operational nuclear bomb.
(that statement was itself a bomb that has gone off)

Breaking Down Trump’s Public Rebuke of Tulsi Gabbard’s Statement on Iran—and Her Response
https://time.com/7296421/trump-public-rebuke-tulsi-gabbard-iran-nuclear-weapon-statement/
President Donald Trump has said that his Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, was "wrong" to say that Iran is not currently building a nuclear weapon.
-
It’s of interest that Gabbard is a former Democrat, She has held the rank of lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve since 2021, and previously served as U.S. representative for Hawaii's 2nd congressional district from 2013 to 2021. She joined the Republican Party in 2024. Gabbard was the youngest state legislator in Hawaii from 2002 to 2004.

Options for Targeting Iran’s Fordow Nuclear Facility
-
-
President Trump said Wednesday he hasn’t decided yet whether to deploy the U.S. military to join Israel’s bombing campaign against Iranian military and nuclear sites, even as his administration moved more American aircraft and other assets to the region in preparation for a U.S. attack.
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/jun/18/trump-weighs-11th-hour-decision-us-military-strikes-iran/
The president is now weighing an unprecedented move: allowing the embattled Iranian regime leaders to visit Washington to negotiate with him.
-
As the president contemplates a strike on Iran, the U.S. has shifted more forces to the Central Command area of operation. Significant numbers of fighter jets and cargo aircraft, including F-16s, F-22s, F-35s and C-17s, are arriving, The Aviationist, a military publication, reported.

Child Sex Mutilation Not OK!

How can such a nation sing that they are ‘the land of the free and home of the brave’ and that ‘God should bless America’?

SCOTUS rules on state ban on gender transition 'treatments' for minors in landmark case
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/scotus-rules-state-ban-gender-transition-treatments-minors-landmark-case
The Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that a Tennessee law banning specific transgender medical treatments for adolescents in the state is not discriminatory, ruling 6-3 to uphold the law.
(a pox be on the (3) malfeasants!)
At issue in the case, United States v. Skrmetti, was whether Tennessee's Senate Bill 1, which "prohibits all medical treatments intended to allow 'a minor to identify with, or live as, a purported identity inconsistent with the minor's sex' or to treat 'purported discomfort or distress from a discordance between the minor's sex and asserted identity,'" violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
-
That law prohibits states from allowing medical providers to deliver puberty blockers and hormones to facilitate a minor's transition to another sex.
It also targets healthcare providers in the state who continue to provide such procedures to gender-dysphoric minors— opening these providers up to fines, lawsuits and other liability.

Pay for Play: End of College “Sports”
-
College sports have been commercialized for many years with coaches making millions of dollars while playing ‘the recruiting game’.
It has been a “game” to incentivize players within the “rules” of scholastic sports. Now the ‘amateur rules’ are gone and it’s “Pay for Play” in college sports with players yearly moving to highest bidders with no allegiance to an alma mater.
The next step: no academic requirements or achievements to play!

Schools Can Pay Their Athletes—and College Sports Will Never Be the Same
https://www.wsj.com/sports/house-settlement-college-sports-ncaa-nil-46698084?mod=hp_featst_pos3
-
College sports are dying, college sports are dead, college sports aren’t about college anymore—it’s Christmas in June for anyone feeling apocalyptic about the state of college sports, now that a settlement has been approved allowing schools to directly pay their athletes.
-
This isn’t a salary, technically. This is compensation from schools to athletes for use of their “name, image, likeness,” but it’s not a measly NIL like a burly offensive lineman getting all the bratwurst he can eat. This is a real paycheck, directly from the college.
-
The NCAA and its member schools set professionalization into motion with decades of arrogance and denial about the bountiful but warped economy they built around the games we love to watch.
When college sports started chasing every dollar as a market-driven business—and frankly, there’s a case that college sports has always been a business—paying athletes became inevitable.

Federal appeals court judges seemed inclined to bless President Trump’s decision to deploy the National Guard to quell unrest in Los Angeles over the objections of Gov. Gavin Newsom, suggesting that the administration is on solid legal ground.
-
During oral argument on Tuesday, a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals questioned the reasoning behind a lower court decision that ruled Mr. Trump violated the law and the Constitution in federalizing and sending thousands of Guard soldiers into the city.

Walmart Faces MAGA Boycott After Heiress Funds 'No Kings' Ad
https://www.newsweek.com/walmart-faces-maga-boycott-after-heiress-funds-no-kings-ad-2083607
Walmart heiress Christy Walton is facing backlash, and Walmart is facing some calls for a boycott from Trump supporters after placing a full-page ad in The New York Times urging Americans to attend town halls and engage in civic discourse.
The ad paid for by the Walmart heiress concluded with the statement, "The honor, dignity and integrity of our country is not for sale. Show up, attend your town halls, be civil," and noted that the views expressed were solely those of Christy Walton.
No Kings Day is scheduled for June 14, which is also Trump's birthday, Flag Day, and the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army. He has planned a military parade at the National Mall in Washington, D.C., to commemorate the anniversary.
Walton, who has a net worth of $19.3 billion, married into the Walmart legacy years ago. Her husband, John Walton, was the son of Walmart founder Sam Walton and died in 2005.

"I unapologetically stand for free speech, peaceful demonstrations, and immigration—but this is not that. This is anarchy and true chaos. My party loses the moral high ground when we refuse to condemn setting cars on fire, destroying buildings, and assaulting law enforcement," Fetterman declared in a post on X.

Baltimore’s steep drop in violent crime buoyed by locking up career criminals, street patrols
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/jun/5/baltimores-steep-drop-violent-crime-buoyed-locking-career-criminals/
Baltimore State’s Attorney Ivan Bates, upon taking office in 2023, told the city’s most hardened criminals to keep a toothbrush on them so they would be move-in ready for their future jail stints. Two years later, he is making good on that promise.
The top prosecutor’s focus on arresting the city’s gun-toting repeat offenders has broken the cycle of simmering beefs turning into deadly shootings.

What has happened to American journalism?
Can we get back to the 1886 founder of the Roanoke Times?
-
First editorial, Nov 30, 1886, by Mr. Claytor, first owner and editor of the Roanoke Times outlines the paper’s philosophy including:
• It has no pets to reward and no enemies to put down.
• It will endeavor to be truthful.
• It is the mouthpiece of no order, corporation, party nor clique.
• To the fostering of our infant manufactories, to the development of our mineral resources and the cultivation of our fertile fields, must we direct our best efforts if we would make this Southern land of ours blossom as the rose.
• It will endeavor to be truthful.

Amazing LA Hotel Pay
-
“The proposed LA ordinance calls for a dramatic increase in hotel wages within 60 days of adoption. Increasing hourly wages to $24.40 with an additional $8.35 for health benefits would result in a 69% increase in payroll in just two months,” wrote the Hotel Association of Los Angeles in opposition.

Proposed LA Hotel Workers Pay
$24.40 + $8.35 = $32.75/hr

Karine Jean-Pierre (Biden’s PR Mouthopiece) suddenly switched party.
Karine Jean-Pierre is leaving the Democratic Party.
Several who worked alongside the former press secretary responded to her book announcement with derision and contempt.

Karine Jean-Pierre’s announcement that she’s leaving the Democratic Party — timed with the rollout of a new book — has detonated long-simmering grievances among her former White House colleagues about Jean-Pierre’s pursuit of celebrity and personal media exposure while serving as then-President Joe Biden’s press secretary.

Musk A Demanding MicroManager

Musk says he’s ‘disappointed’ with Trump-backed megabill
Musk says he’s ‘disappointed’ with Trump-backed megabill - POLITICO
-
-
Musk’s short assignment in the Trump administration was clearly an annoying and aggravating time for Musk.
He is Not accustom to managing in a government bureautic swamp.
His organizations are super-responsive to his direction and wishes.
His tolerance for slow-learners and slow-responders and slow-achievers Is antithetic to his expectations and demands.
The Musk management model is reminiscent of General Patten’s style.
It’s little wonder that Musk continues to express annoyance and disappointment with the waste, fraud and abuse in the government.
Clearly he is not sympathetic to the ‘compromise basis’ of our government due to the very close balance of power we have in both the house and senate and the dysfunction within the Republican Party.
Expressing frustration with our economic and political reality does not help the effort to get the best deal possible for the American People.

Jake Tapper’s never-ending (and delicious) humiliation tour

His latest tome, aptly titled “Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again,” has been making all the wrong waves inside the Beltway. You’d think writing an insider book about the political chaos of an ailing president on his way down would turn you into the toast of Washington. Instead, Mr. Tapper has found himself making endless excuses about why he never bothered to tell us just how bad it was when it was actually happening.

Armed Forces Day -- For those who wear the uniform
Veterans Day -- For those who once wore the uniform
Memorial Day -- For those who never made it out of uniform

It is the VETERAN, not the reporter,
who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the VETERAN, not the poet,
who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the VETERAN, not the campus organizer,
who has given us freedom to assemble.
It is the VETERAN, not the lawyer,
who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the VETERAN, not the politician,
Who has given us the right to vote.

God and the soldier we adore
In times of danger, not before
The danger passed and all wrongs righted
God’s Forgotten and the soldier slighted

The Biden Mental- Physical Health &, Cancer Train-Wreck
-
It is amazing that a cabal of bureaucrats, a sinister wife, a troika of D-politicians (Obama, Schumer, Jefferies) and a complicit PravdaMedia pulled-off the hiding of a presidential health train-wreck upon the American people and indeed the world!
-
How could the greatest country in the world be run by a shadow-administration hidden behind a ‘Alice in Wonderland’ curtain of secrecy and deceit?

Biden’s “AutoPen” signature on official documents well represents the false and fake actions of a Pseudo-POTUS and indeed his presidency.
Certainly answers how a moderate southern democrat morphed into a feeble and weak-minded far-left-socialist.
-
And who can possibly believe that Biden hadn’t had a PSA test since 2014 and that he didn’t have a 1-point-plus jump that demanded an immediate biopsy and follow-up! All men over 60 are ‘highly focused’ on that situation and process.
-
Given his son Beau’s terminal cancer, any doctor that did not give Biden proper cancer screening should be disbarred and severely penalized.

What a contrast to the Trump 2016 campaign when the entire D-machine tried unsuccessfully to make Trump’s mental and physical health an issue.
Remember Jan 2018:
“Yale psychiatrist briefed members of Congress on Trump's mental fitness”
http://www.cnn.com/2018/01/04/politics/psychiatrist-congress-meeting-trump/index.html
“(CNN) A dozen lawmakers from the House and Senate received a briefing from Yale psychiatrist Dr. Bandy X. Lee on Capitol Hill in early December about President Donald Trump's fitness to be president -- and Lee has been asked to speak with additional lawmakers, worried about the President's mental state, later this month.”
“"Lawmakers were saying they have been very concerned about this, the President's dangerousness, the dangers that his mental instability poses on the nation," Lee told CNN”

Joe Biden Diagnosed With Prostate Cancer
-
The sad bad news is that Joe Biden has prostate cancer.
The very bad news is that it is stage-4, aggressive and has metastasized.
Doctors are working to determine an appropriate treatment regimen.
Not clear how this didn’t get detected during early stage?
Has he not been having 6-month check-ups like other seniors have?

May 17th Norway’s 4th Of July

The Constitution of Norway was signed at Eidsvoll on 17 May 1814. It is the second oldest written Constitution in the World still in existence.[2] The constitution declared Norway to be an independent kingdom in an attempt to avoid being ceded to Sweden after Denmark–Norway's devastating defeat in the Napoleonic Wars. This established a Union between Sweden and Norway.
