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.
Powerful – Carl Higbie’s response to the democrats call to “ignore an unlawful order”. He lived the politics in Fallujah while wearing the uniform. It almost got him killed.

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.

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.”
“Balancing financial sustainability and accessibility is one of the hardest challenges in college sports right now,” says the FSU Athletic Director.

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.

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.

IF Mandami is gonna provide “free” bus rides does he have anybody willing to drive those buses for zero compensation?
Has he found any vendors of fuel or electricity that have agreed to not charge for providing fuel?
Have any bus manufacturers and/or repair personnel pledged to provide their products, parts or services at no cost?
I don’t understand the “free” part.

Hakeem Jeffries Blows Up At CNBC Host
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries snapped at CNBC host Rebecca Quick on Friday as she pressed him on getting a bipartisan deal on healthcare passed. Jeffries is currently seeking a three-year rather than a two-year extension on Biden-era subsidies in the Affordable Care Act (ACA), which Republicans are not open to. During an appearance on “Squawk Box,” Jeffries became visibly angry at Quick after she suggested that he wants the tax credits to lapse in order to allow Republicans “to hang themselves.”

Here’s How Laramie Is Preparing For Josh Allen’s Return To Wyoming On Saturday
The town of Laramie is all abuzz as it prepares for Josh Allen’s return for the retirement of his Wyoming Cowboys’ football jersey on Saturday. Things will start getting busy in downtown Laramie on Friday and carry through late Saturday night. It’s been seven years since No. 17 last stepped onto the field at War Memorial Stadium, and he’ll return Saturday to be honored as the first Wyoming Cowboys football player to have his jersey retired.
