Trump Asked to Be More Civil With Media That Deserves His Mockery
I think it’s fine to wish for a president to set the tone of civility. But the Bushes and Romneys did that and they were still compared to Hitler and slaveholders and what not.
People magazine and former Washington Post reporter Paul Farhi have made separate lists of insults President Donald Trump has recently lobbed at female reporters. It doesn’t matter how the journalists behaved because apparently, women can’t possibly be ill-mannered in press conferences. Or they think you can’t possibly be as rude as Trump.

Trump Confronts His Political Reality ~ A Dawning Realization
The president has entered the lame-duck era of his career.
A force is pulling on Donald Trump that is even more inexorable than the march of time: political mortality.
Sometimes scandal or ineffectiveness is what fells a politician; if they survive those, term limits may get them anyway. But not even the most fearsome and durable leader escapes the eventual decay of their power. The towering Lyndon B. Johnson was forced to drop out of the 1968 presidential race, facing a tough Democratic primary; Margaret Thatcher’s powerful reign ended with a Conservative mutiny; Mitch McConnell, once the wily master of the Senate, now finds himself an ostracized backbencher.
Trump may have imagined he was immune. If so, he wasn’t alone. The rules of political gravity, journalists have often declared, sometimes seem not to apply to him… (Continue to full article)
Trump Is the ‘Biggest Security Threat‘ Facing America
Nobel laureate and professor of economics Paul Krugman is condemning President Donald Trump as “the biggest security threat facing the U.S. and, indeed, all the world’s democracies.”
“According to Donald Trump,” Krugman wrote on Substack, “anything he doesn’t like is a threat to national security. Question his clearly illegal tariffs? You’re a dark and sinister force trying to undermine America. When the New York Times reported on signs that age may be taking a toll on Trump’s stamina, he denounced the reporting as ‘seditious, maybe even treasonous.’”
Krugman charged that “Trump’s foreign policy is not about securing the safety and well-being of the United States” and lambasted the “betrayal of America’s security interests.”
“Trump doesn’t care at all about national security,” Krugman declared, “or for that matter America’s national interests. Instead, it’s all about him… (Continue to full article)
Marjorie Taylor Greene Wildly Plotting to Oust Mike Johnson on Her Way Out of Congress
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is reportedly testing support for a last-ditch effort to remove House Speaker Mike Johnson, with barely weeks left in office.
Greene has been quietly sounding out colleagues about backing a motion to vacate the chair, multiple anonymous sources familiar with her efforts told MS NOW.
Under new House rules, nine Republicans would be needed to force such a vote, a threshold designed to prevent a repeat of the Kevin McCarthy implosion that paralyzed the chamber two years ago.
“Marjorie is approaching members to get to nine who will oust the speaker… (Continue to full article)
Republican House Leader Signals Plan to Begin Contempt Proceedings Against Bill and Hillary Clinton
Former President Clinton appeared in a tranche of photos from the Epstein estate released Friday
GOP House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said he plans to commence contempt of Congress proceedings against Bill and Hillary Clinton for ignoring the committee’s subpoenas related to its ongoing probe into the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.
In July, a bipartisan House Oversight Subcommittee approved motions to subpoena Bill and Hillary Clinton and a slew of other high-profile political figures to aid its investigation looking into how the federal government handled Epstein’s sex trafficking

The subpoenas were then sent out in early August, and the Clinton’s were scheduled to testify Dec. 17-18… (Continue to full article)
What the Hell Is Wrong with a Country That Makes a Widow Defend Herself for Living?
“I’ve had paper cuts that took longer to heal than Erika Kirk.”
You may have seen this comment on X in recent days. And yes, by the author of a book titled, If God Is Love, Don’t be a Jerk. I’ve also read that she’s “hawking her dead husband’s book.” And that’s far from the worst of what’s out there.
Erika Kirk is not just grieving the extremely public murder of her husband for herself and their children, but for all of the young people who were invested in his life and hurt by his death. She clearly feels a sense of responsibility to not just his audience — his “fans” for lack of a better way to put it — but to the people who hate him and his legacy or what they think he and his legacy stand for….

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz welcomes more Somalis into state despite massive, growing scandals
Minnesota’s scandal-ridden Democrat Gov. Tim Walz spoke in defense of his state’s Somali community at a recent fundraiser, even though members of that community have recently bilked North Star State taxpayers out of more than a billion dollars through various fraud schemes.
According to the Washington Free Beacon, Tampon Tim stated: “We are going to defend our neighbors. Instead of demonizing our Somali community, we’re going to do more to welcome more in.”
That’s the ticket!
Some 89% of Somali families with children are on welfare, courtesy of Land of Lakes residents…. (Continue to full article)
Tulsi Gabbard warns of ‘direct threat’ from suspected terrorists now living in United States
Intelligence director blames Biden administration for allegedly allowing 18,000 known or suspected terrorists into country
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard issued a warning about suspected terrorists inside the United States, blaming the Biden administration for what she called a “direct threat” to the lives of the American people.
The National Counterterrorism Center says about 18,000 known or suspected terrorists were allowed into the country under the previous administration. Gabbard said her greatest concern about the influx is that there are “so many more that we are not aware of yet.”
“The Biden administration did not take their vetting responsibilities seriously,” Gabbard said on “Saturday in America.”… (Continue to full article)
