The Trump-Vance Administration (The People Who Work For Trump)

Compare the first 1 month of his term this time around to the first month of 2016. Trump tried a similar blitz too previously with things like that executive order banning people from these Muslim countries coming into the US but that was thwarted pretty quickly. There was tons of protests and lots of legal challenges that forced the Trump team to retreat. There was also Russiagate which claimed the scalp of Michael Flynn. Bannon was forced out I suspect because of all the "President Bannon" stuff that the media was pushing that drove a wedge between him and Trump. Last time around it seems like Trump's team was mostly playing defense especially when it came to the Russiagate stuff which has a multi-pronged attack from the DNC and the media that I have to admit was pretty effective.

This time around it seems like the Trump Team is armed with a much better team and also with lessons learned from the first time. It's the media and DNC that are on the defensive now with Trump flooding the zone with his EOs and with DOGE laying waste to the supply lines of the Democrats. The media is trying to cut off Musk from Trump by calling Musk the true president like they did with Bannon the last time this tactic seems to be pretty ineffective so far. Musk and the tech-bros are the counter-elites that Trump has now at his disposal to take on the entrenched elites. I'm a bit wary of these people since I feel like this is an alliance of convenience and in a different environment (such as during the first Trump term) they would be actively fighting MAGA but it's clear for the moment the alliance is paying off massively.

Looks like Trump and co. are aware of this tactic now

I think that Elon is doing great things and he should try to portray a great image. Limit his weaknesses to his poor speaking skills, which is harder to change.
His kid shouldn’t be toddling around at his feet in what should be a serious address. His outfit cheapens his image too. It all made what should be a very regal setting look like a cheap prop. I didn’t like it.

European Leaders 'Horrified' After JD Vance Slams Censorship Laws To Their Faces | ZeroHedge

ZeroHedge - On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero

JD Vance puts Euro homosexual leaders in their place.

In his first major speech on the international stage, Vice President JD Vance criticized European leaders for allowing mass migration and extreme laws censoring speech, remarking that he worries more about Europe’s “threats from within” than from external threats like Russia and China.

“While the Trump administration is very concerned with European security and believes we can come to a reasonable settlement between Russia and Ukraine … the threat that I worry the most about vis-à-vis Europe is not Russia, it’s not China, it’s not any other external actor,” said Vance.

“What I worry about is the threat from within – the retreat of Europe from some of its most fundamental values, values shared with the United States of America.”

The vice president’s confrontational remarks at the Munich Security Conference apparently surprised many officials who were expecting him to focus his remarks on Ukraine and Russia.

Instead, Vance called them out for embracing authoritarian policies and using “ugly Soviet era words like misinformation and disinformation” to enact laws marginalizing populist voters.

As an example of Europe’s draconian attacks on on free speech, the veep cited a recent egregious case in Great Britain: “A little over two years ago, the British government charged Adam Smith Conner, a 51-year-old physiotherapist and an Army veteran, with the heinous crime of standing 50 meters from an abortion clinic and silently praying for three minutes, not obstructing anyone, not interacting with anyone, just silently praying on his own,” Vance recounted. “After British law enforcement spotted him and demanded to know what he was praying for, Adam replied simply, it was on behalf of the unborn son.”

Vance said the man was “found guilty of breaking the government’s new buffer zone law which criminalizes silent prayer and other actions” that could influence a woman’s decision to have an abortion within 200 yards of an abortion clinic. The man ended up having to “pay thousands of pounds to the prosecution” for praying.

In an even more extreme example of government overreach, Vance noted that Scottish officials recently distributed letters to citizens who reside within so-called safe access zones, “warning them that even private prayer within their own homes may amount to breaking the law.”

Vance noted with disgust that the Scottish officials even encouraged citizens to report on anyone guilty of committing “thought crimes.”

“In Britain, and across Europe, I fear free speech is in retreat,” the vice president lamented.

Vance also denounced Romania’s recent cancellation of presidential election results over accusations of Russian disinformation. “If your democracy can be destroyed with a few hundred thousand dollars of digital advertising from a foreign country, then it wasn’t very strong to begin with,” he said. “I’d ask my European friends to have some perspective.”

“Democracy rests on the sacred principle that the voice of the people matters. There’s no room for firewalls,” he added.

Vance also touched on pressing issue of mass migration in Europe, which has dramatically changed demographics in European cities and led to increases in both crime and terrorism.

“We know this situation didn’t materialize in a vacuum, it’s the result of a series of conscious decisions made by politicians all over the continent and others across the world over the span of a decade,” he said.

The vice president highlighted the Thursday attack in Munich where an Afghan national drove a car into a crowd, injuring at least 30 people, and yelled “Allahu Akbar” when he was detained.

“We saw the horrors wrought by these decisions yesterday in this very city,” Vance said, offering his condolences to the victims.

“It’s a terrible story but it’s one we’ve heard way too many times in Europe and unfortunately way too many times in the United States, as well, he said. “An asylum seeker, often a young man in his mid twenties, already known to police, rams a car into a crowd and shatters a community.”

“How many times must we suffer these appalling setbacks before we change course and take our shared civilization in a new direction?” Vance asked. “No voter on this continent went to the ballot box to open the floodgates to millions of unvetted immigrants,” he added, pointing out that voters in Great Britain did vote for Brexit and have repeatedly voted against “out of control migration.”

According to the Financial Times, “European officials in Munich were horrified at what they saw as Vance’s unfair and untrue claims.”

Germany’s Defense Minister Boris Pistorius furiously objected to Vance’s characterization of European policies, the far-left paper reported.

“I had a speech I prepared today,” Pistorius said. “It was supposed to be about security in Europe. But I cannot start in the way I originally intended . . . This democracy was called into question by the US vice-president.”

Excellent, short 20 min speech that left Europe floored. Looks like we really do have a future leader of the America First movement.

Speaking of DEI in high schools...


HOLY SHLIT. An anonymous staff member at (@WalshJesuit) wrote us a completely unhinged email after we reached out for comment about a teacher's homework assignment.

This staff member accused us of being a "white supremacist, racist, xenophobic, platform” and their school is "the resistance."

They also vow to continue teaching students that DEI is good, America was never great, and that Trump is anti-Christian.

This person teaches kids...

You need to post the full uncropped picture.
These numbers are shocking.

According to what Musk has posted, there are over 12 million people in the USA who are OVER the age of 120 who are getting benefits today.
I remind you the oldest people in the world certified still living today are all UNDER 120 years of age.



Among these 12 million people getting benefits who are all over 120 years old, there are:


- 2888 people between 180 and 220 years old, who were basically born between 1805 and 1845, and who then later were of an adult military age during the US civil war. So basically 2888 civil war veterans are still getting pensions in the year 2025.

- 1040 people between 220 and 240 years old...bascially all born around the years 1785 to 1805 when George Washington was still alive, and just shortly after the US declaration of independence. So we are still paying benefits to 1040 people who were alive at the same time as the founding fathers of the USA.

Finally, according to Musk's graph, there's the absolute oldest person in the USA getting benefits who is over 360 years old, basically born around the year 1660 who must have come over to america with the pilgrims, and was an adult exactly at the time of the Salem witch trials in colonial Massachusetts. That's right, there still a convicted Salem witch, getting benefits in 2025 !! She must have been the absolute queen of the evil salem witches to cast such a powerful magical spell that gives her both immortality and unlimited government money !!

According to what Musk has posted, there's over 1000 people getting social security payments who are almost 230 years old...bascially they are all born around the year 1796 when George Washington was still president, and just 20 years after the US declaration of independence. So we are still paying benefits to people who were alive at the same time as the founding fathers of the USA.

In addition, always according to Musk's list there are another 2000 people between 180 and 200 years old, who are also getting social security payments who were basically born between 1820 and 1846, and who then later were of an adult military age during the US civil war. So basically 2000 civil war veterans are still getting pensions in the year 2025.

How many of them speak Hebrew?

I noticed that the organic cage-free eggs are not going up in price nearly as much as the regular, industrial farmed eggs. Keeping chickens cramped in tiny cages all day increases the chance they get sick in the first place. The ones who are raised with traditional farming methods are much stronger and healthier.

Price gouging is part of rising prices.

You want to get PASTURE RAISED eggs, ideally from a farmer's market (they probably won't have the "pasture raised" label but can tell you about the farm). From what I've read, "cage free" basically just means a ton of chickens are thrown together in a pen without hardly any room to run around. "Well, they aren't in a cage!" It's deceptive marketing.

Pasture Raised from my understanding have chickens that must have at least certain amount of space to roam around in. I forget the exact number. The yolks are usually more orange and not as yellow, packed fill of nutrients. Only get pasture raised or local farmer's markets eggs. Not only is it much more nutritious (eggs are some of the most nutrient dense foods), but it's more ethical too.

We'll have to see how this bird flu thing goes. I'm sure whenever it "starts to hit humans" a lot of NPCs are going to get it because they are all just a bunch of chickens anyway.

108 square feet (or 10 square meters) per bird, if memory serves. Considering most farms have a sizeable flock that's a decent amount of space. Since they get ample room to forage, the yolks are naturally more orange as mentioned above. Personally, it's one of those things where I'll gladly cut the budget towards some of my vices / less useful spending just to have them.

I usually get mine from an Amish farm when I can, and while we haven't been hit by price gouging, the demand for them in the surrounding area has gone up enough that there's a cap of two dozen a week. Perfectly fine by me, but I feel for anyone with large families.
