And they can't figure out why they lost the elect....

That might have been good but I don't think it was really necessary since the American public saw it with their own eyes. Just look at the CBS 76% speech approval rating quoted near the top of the previous page.

In his first term, one of the big complaints that pushed centrist and independent voters away from President Trump was "mean Tweets" and "talking bad about opponents." He's learned a lot since then and knows there's no need to give the Democrats "Donald Trump talked bad about us/mean Tweeted" ammo when they're using their own TDS-idiocy ammo to shoot their own feet right in front of everyone.

The old sayings are; Give them enough rope and they will hang themselves, and, never interrupt your enemy or opponent when they are making a mistake.

Down But Not Out: The Supreme Court Rules 5-4 Against the Freezing $2 Billion in USAID Funds-Jonathan Turley

quote:

In an interesting 5-4 split, the Supreme Court has denied the Trump Administration’s application for a stay of a district court’s temporary restraining order (TRO) against the Administration’s effort to freeze $2 billion in funds from the U.S. Agency for International Development. The Administration is down by one vote but hardly out in the fight with lower courts over the control of this funding.

The unsigned order in Department of State v. AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition refuses to stay the temporary restraining order of U.S. District Judge Amir Ali to force the payment of the money frozen by the Administration.

However, there is more than meets the eye in this short, unsigned opinion.

While unsigned, it is clear that Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined the three liberal justices. The reason is the dissent of Associate Justice Samuel Alito, who was joined by Justices Thomas, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh.

The dissent has sharp elbows for both Judge Ali and the five justices in the majority:

Does a single district-court judge who likely lacks jurisdiction have the unchecked power to compel the Government of the United States to pay out (and probably lose forever) 2 billion taxpayer dollars? The answer to that question should be an emphatic “No,” but a majority of this Court apparently thinks otherwise. I am stunned.

Alito acknowledged the lower court’s “frustration with the Government” as well as the “serious concerns about nonpayment for completed work.” However, he noted that this is “quite simply, too extreme a response. A federal court has many tools to address a party’s supposed nonfeasance. Self-aggrandizement of its jurisdiction is not one of them.”

The key here is that this was a controversial move to review a TRO, which is generally not reviewable. What is clear is that there are four justices who were still prepared to do so and would obviously be likely to grant review in the next round.

That next round would come after the hearing on the preliminary injunction, which is scheduled for March 6th.

It can then be appealed to these awaiting justices. Only four are needed to grant review, so you do the math.

What does that mean?

Again, my opinion and I expect to take my lumps for this. I am your typical simple/stupid man...

Speak for yourself. I don't accept this 80's and 90's Al Bundy and Homer Simpson "men are stupid" bullshit anymore. We need to stop saying this stuff, gentlemen. It isn't true, and it comes from a place of trying to cow before "strong women" and has dishonest motivations. I agree with the point you were trying to make, but don't couch it in this nonsense. There are plenty of intelligent women who would agree with you without you having to disclaim how stupid you are because you have Y chromosomes and testicles.

This woman was pushed over the edge last night to finally see the shit-bag dems for what they are, and expressed her outrage in this righteous rant -

From what I understand with the SCOTUS action is that they did not rule 2 billion dollars MUST BE ALLOWED for intended USAID recipients. SCOTUS ruled that the Feb. 26th deadline expired and directed the case back to the lower district court, to further preliminary injunction proceedings set for March 6th, which can be appealed needing only four of the nine SCOTUS justices to grant review.

Donald Trump said, paraphrasing, that God granted him a miracle so that he could Make America Great Again. Keep in mind that this is a man who in the 70s, 80s, and 90s was a grab them by the pussy playboy.

Now he is Divinely appointed, which I believe he is. We have witnessed a profound and inspiring human transformation.

OK, that is some good news I guess though it would not surprise me if the lower court stalled enough for that money to be gone forever and either way it looks as if the lower court judge was out of bounds on this per Alito's comments. If it does go back to SCOTUS to be ruled on and the ruling is favorable that very well could compel lower courts to more careful of their orders and bad ones be overturned in short order but if it goes back and gets unfavorable ruling that will be bad news for Team Trump and encourage more lawsuits. Breitbart's headline was certainly misleading on this one as it was a TRO and not a ruling.

This is genuinely the most repulsive comment I've heard in a very long time from anyone on television.

MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace politicizes young DJ’s moment at Trump’s speech:

“I hope he has a long life as a law enforcement officer, but I hope he never has to defend the United States Capitol against Donald Trump's supporters.” “And if he does, I hope he isn't one of the six who loses his life to suicide.”

MSNBC should fire Nicolle Wallace. Disgusting.

Not many presidents have a reputation as being funny, Reagan thew out some zingers. After the speech last night possibly DT is the funniest president ever. Maybe DT wasn't confident he was funnier than Zelensky, until last night.

DJ Daniel, a 13-year-old brain cancer survivor with a dream of working in law enforcement, visited President Donald Trump in the Oval Office of the White House just hours after warming millions of hearts Tuesday night when he was named an honorary Secret Service member during the president's joint address to Congress.

In a video shared on X, Daniel could be seen standing next to Trump in the Oval Office before saying, "There's one more thing I got for ya: a big hug."

The president responds, "OK good, that's very nice," as they embrace.


DJ Daniel meets President Donald Trump in the Oval Office a day after being named an honorary Secret Service member.

Trump then shakes Daniel's father's hand and asks how he is doing, before adding, "That was a big evening last night, right? That was a big evening."

The Texas boy's expression during the surprise Tuesday night went viral on social media, along with video of his father holding him up in the air to hug director of the U.S. Secret Service Sean Curran, who presented him with a customized Secret Service badge.

"I was not expecting it," Daniel told "Fox & Friends" co-host Steve Doocy on Wednesday. "Nobody even told us [it was going to happen]."

Doctors gave him just five months to live after his brain cancer diagnosis in 2018, yet he survived and endured numerous surgeries.

During the address, Trump noted Daniel's father had been on a "quest" to make his son's dream of becoming a police officer come true, and Daniel had already been sworn in as an honorary member of several local police departments.



Daniels later told "Fox & Friends" he hoped the brown cowboy hat he gifted Trump from Texas made it past security.

Tuesday night's honor was not the first heartwarming moment for Daniels caught on camera.

Tennessee Highway Patrol shared a flashback video of Daniel being sworn in as an honorary trooper and Nashville Police Department officer in 2022.

"From an honorary Tennessee Highway Patrol Trooper and @MNPDNashville Police Officer, to the newest honorary Special Agent of the United States @SecretService - Congratulations #DJDaniel," the agency wrote.

She is an arrogant despicable POS and hopefully she will soon go the way of Joy Reid.

It seems these fucking maggots are always trying their damnedest to see who could be the most vile POS on earth.
