CITIZEN OPEN THREAD.
Excellent video on National Debt from Congressman Schweikert
NOTE FROM KANE
As long as the headlines can be seen, green and red showing up as black for example, that’s fine.
I thought they couldn’t be seen at all for colorblind readers — invisible headlines.
So I’m not worried about it now. Thanks for all the feedback below.
Carry on, CFP Nation.
Totally correct. These two needed to “CHILL”…
[She pushed too hard and he knows that she means well]
Now, MTG needs to walk back her resignation…
DJT needs to forget about any primary challengers and “Go Silent” with the Press. He can do it. He knows how…
What is it with Republicans self-destructive infighting? Ridiculous! Stop it!
Thomas Massie, Rand Paul, Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins – and a few others, also need to figure out a better way forward. Their “schitck” might play at home with their constituents, but nationally, they’re losers (in terms of an agenda) for the party. On the key votes we need them. As Republicans we need them as part of our majority. We all need to work together better…
[RANT OFF…’-]
As CFP has been saying all week, everyone involved needs to simmer down (now).
Trump softens his tone — ‘I would love to see Marjorie return to politics, after a break.’
Trump reverses in late day interview with NBC.
Early this morning, Trump showed some anger.
This isn’t helping the situation, Loomer.
Good Sunday morning everyone ☕️☕️☕️☕️

Pope Leo shrugs at the massacre of Christians in Nigeria.
He can’t admit he is the leader of a tribe which he must protect.
As a liberal, he sees only “universal” things — the “planet”, “humanity,” etc.
https://www.frontpagemag.com/pope-leo-covers-up-muslim-genocide-of-christians-in-nigeria/
Current Pope IMO is useless. He is a liberal / socialist and globalist. He is enjoying the wealth and fame of being Pope instead of tending to his flock.

Tariff revenue is about $140 billion so far, certainly not trillions.
It was combined tariffs and investments due to tariffs that would reach trillions. Not to mention money not spent on wars and aid needed due to endless wars.

“More than 100 Chinese exhibitors who traveled to Germany to attend the ongoing Trade Fair for Medical Technology & Healthcare, better known as the MEDICA Trade Fair, have fallen ill with food poisoning, Xinhua Agency reported.
An initial investigation points to food safety issues with boxed meals provided by a local Chinese restaurant, according to a statement by China’s Consulate General in Dusseldorf. At least four people were hospitalized, but there were no serious injuries or deaths.”

With most presidents, it can be decades before we learn what they thought and said in private about particular people and issues. Time can be expected to modify and sometimes quiet those privately expressed opinions. 47 is unique. We get a 21st century spontaneous message on most contemporary matters and personalities. I find it refreshingly bold, though often more than a little brutal. He usually softens an initial colorful verbal poke in response to the degree of the seismic reaction. It is a large part of why people love him or despise him. With 47, we don’t have to wait for document dumps, biographies, and any difficult to endure historical revision. We learn real time where he clearly stands. Don’t change, Mr. President.
Meanwhile, in Michigan….🌲

Families who have held season tickets for generations are getting priced out of the stadiums.
“What happens when college football games are only for the rich? Some faithful fans are finding out”
“I don’t want to get to the point where I have to say, ‘Y’all have priced me out, I’m no longer a fan’”
“This new stadium ordeal … has let me know that I’m not the middle-class person I thought I was.”
Prices have gone up 12x (inflation adjusted).
“For former Seminole Boosters board member Rob Hackley, the gift requirement was $10,000 per seat to stay on the west side (out of the sun) — plus whatever the seats themselves cost. He said no and ended his season tickets after 53 years.”
“Florida State’s move reflects what Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell recently called a ‘bifurcated economy.’”
“the general axiom [used to be] that 80 percent of the money came from 20 percent of the donors. Now the ratio is probably closer to 95-5.”

She is not everything she seems. That fast switcheroo she did with Kevin McCarthy put her on my watch list.
I just wish Trump could walk away quietly and let it play out.
Agree completely, Mama.
Perhaps that is a thought in her mind. I watched her on The View – a replay – I am perplexed.
Trump could have called Mamdani out as a Marxist/Communist, but didn’t. Interesting…

Good morning ☕️ hope your day sees some sunshine !
Morning Dee. That’s the hope I have. It’s been cloudy and gloomy and sun-less for over a week.
Sounds like you have our normal Michigan weather! We have had so much sun, for months now……its very odd for us!
But we’ve also had a lot of wind, since August. Very few calm days-
We got it! ☀️ beautiful blue sky and heavy frost
Morning, Dee. Cloudy here, and had rain overnight. Guess I won’t be tackling those mountains of leaves today.
Blowing around down south.

Has she lost her mind?
Yes, I think she has. I don’t like the path she’s on anyway.
I will miss her
She says that if the Dems win the House in 2026, Dems will impeach Trump, and it would tear her up to be making speeches in the House in defense of Trump after he had sent $10 million dollars to primary her. She is a straight shooter, even detractors must admit.
Then she shouldn’t resign and leave and. open seat. Fight for the country and don’t let that happen
I think overall this is a bad sign for MAGA. She has a way more conservative voting record than most
Republicans. I worry more about her replacement than Trumps hurt feelings she wasn’t 100% behind him, I guess 98% wasn’t good enough. I do worry about our America First coalition holding together if we can’t accept that sometimes we will disagree with each other. Hope we can find a way to keep our eyes on the big prize of a better America.
Well said Thunderbird.
I also hope she doesn’t end up on CNN or the View or such, bashing Trump. Let’s see if she can keep the drama down.
She could still have a bright future as a America First politician if she can avoid the money trap they will throw at her now. I so hope she sticks to her moral convictions and avoids the temptation of the drama and bashing.
She’s made her money, she’ll have full pension, healthcare la ti da. Gubmint is such a racket.
I agree. But the republicans have a way of sabotaging themselves.
Still too many globalist rhinos in the party.
Yep
They sure do.
She went off the rails supporting McCarthy. She has been all about promoting herself. Before I worry about her absence, someone tell me what great legislature she managed to create and have passed. Congress needs a lot less drama and a lot more character and determination.
The issue between them is probably Middle East policy. I can understand how the majority religious groups feel that enough is enough. She has not done the Jew bashing that some have. I respect her, and hopefully they will do a reparative Musk-Trump peace process.
Im with ya there, Deb
Loose cannons can sink your ship.
She’s a good verbal fighter, you just never know who or what she’ll trash next.
Would never vote for a huge ego with zero self-discipline.
“Trump — Mamdani is not a jihadist.”
That sounds right. A Muslim who is far Left is probably a secular Muslim, the opposite of jihadist.
But he still might end up sheltering jihadis because they “belong” to the same “identity.”
Yep.
His people.
Yep !
Mamdani is no good period.
Mamdani’s branch of Islam is a recently developed Shiite sect.
He’s a flaming radical totally comfortable deceiving non-Muslims under Taquiyya Law, which says it is good to lie to unbelievers if it advances Islam.
Can’t believe Trump’s staff had not briefed him on this point long ago.
