“During the Middle Ages, probably one of the biggest mistakes was not putting on your armor because you were ‘just going down the corner.’” Jack Handy

I was thinking. If we didn’t have ingrate “Somalians,” etc., and the freeloading job performance of weak elected officials like Joe, Obama and Tim Walz, maybe we wouldn’t have a national debt at all.
A trillion here. A trillion there.
A lot of taxpayer money has been going to all the wrong people.
Years ago, we used to call guys like Tim Walz sissies. Today guys like him are chosen for the highest offices in the land.
Kamala Harris picked Tim for her vice president. Why? Well, just look who she’s married to: A man who had the nerve to lecture us on “toxic masculinity.”
In a 2023 MSNBC interview, Jonathan Capehart asked Doug Emhoff about gender roles as Second Gentleman.
“This is something I have thought about a lot,” Emhoff said.
“There’s too much toxicity, masculine toxicity out there, and we’re kind of confused what it means to be a man, what it means to be masculine.”
Actually, Doug is confused. Obama is. We never were.
“You’ve got this trope out there where you have to be tough, and angry and lash out to be strong,” he added.
(Is Doug referring to when he slugged a former girlfriend?)
These Leftist guys have the angry and lash-out part down pat. But as far as being tough, not so much.
Unremarkable people. Not smart people. But definitely cunning.
People like Joe, Kamala and Walz, are chosen to be “place holders,” not real candidates. Not real public servants. The last thing the Left wants is someone who has values.
As a result, what we got for our money is widespread fraud, committed by ungrateful-illegal-special-visa crooks in Walz’ state, in our federal government, and across the country.
When caught with his metaphoric pants down last week, Gov. Tim responded the way a guy who already lied about his military service and football coaching would. By throwing a hissy fit.
“For Republicans here, I have more energy than I’ve ever had. I am committed to this state more than I’ve ever been,” he sputtered angrily at a news conference yesterday, locking the barn door after the horse had bolted.
“Expect for the next 11 months for me to ride you like you’ve ever been ridden to make sure you’re doing your job.”
I know…I read it, too.
But deflection, and grooming us to erase our own history is not working anymore.
During the Obama-Biden administration, the world saw the United States as a Paper Tiger, a country unable to withstand challenge.
Citizens were afraid to say what they saw. Joe and Obama saw what we saw, and did nothing.
Trump changed that on a Saturday in January, 2026.
Invoking the Monroe Doctrine, President Trump gave orders for our military to invade Venezuela and seize and arrest Nicolas Maduro, the head of the Venezuela government.
The outrage from the Left was swift. “Trump can’t do that!” they cried.
Yeah. He can.
They didn’t bother to research American history, or the Constitution. It isn't clear if they know what the Monroe Doctrine is. They usually don't.
Article II, Section 2 grants the President, as Commander in Chief, the authority to direct military forces, in order to defend the country’s national security.
The Monroe Doctrine, formulated in 1823, holds that any invasion of the Western Hemisphere by foreign powers would be regarded as a hostile act against the United States.
The Doctrine established Boundaries.
The presence of China, Russia and Cuba in Venezuela, the production and import of drugs into our country from Venezuela, by land and by sea, is an invasion of the Western Hemisphere.
Providing oil from Venezuela to those countries is a hostile act.
Boundaries. The Left tells us they’re not important. That sending drugs across our borders is not an invasion.
But it is. And Trump did something about it.
He reminded us we have the right to defend ourselves, and not apologize.
Hold the line, America. Stay strong, Patriots.
