Really, when you see this stuff in LA, just six months after being elected, and it was predicted that this would happen, just shows you how useless the democratic messaging was. Let's hope Newsom, Walz and co. step up up as they are going to be needed now.

Inappropriate use of the national guard in LA. It's simply no checks on Stephen Miller.

No matter who sits in the Oval office in 2029, the scepticism of USA will not easily disappear. After all it took less than 4 months to tick Canadians off, so can imagine how it will be after 4 years.

George Orwell would view this particular state of affairs in year 2025 in USA, in which children as young as age 4 find themselves in court without a legal representative in deportation proceedings, as too unbelievable for his seminal work, 1984.

Bringing Kilmar Abrego Garcia home to his family and 3 kids should be the easiest thing in the world. But when language is twisted to make a father a 'threat' and someone who looks different a "terrorist", then each one returned home is a sign of government weakness and failing narrative.

The tariffs playbook is America First: put a squeeze on trade partners to force production to the US. Their chaos has instead sparked a serious firefight with China with no clear winner, which will hit Trump’s base financially. Tbh. His current team is not really not up to job.
