My take on Soft Power: "What the heck is “soft power” anyway? Namby-pamby power? Woke power? Mickey Mouse power? And should we even care, if it’s just “soft?” You bet!" gregdelawie.substack.com/p/hard-truth...

Republicans are delaying the swearing-in of Grijalva in order to protect evidence against a #Pedophile. Remember when this crowd claimed to be the "moral majority"?

Trump admits what we knew all along - the shutdown is happening because they want to repeal Obamacare by choking off funding for it. Project 2025.

This is horrific.

Yesterday, Miller called judges "leftwing terrorism" and today, the house of Judge Goodstein, the judge who blocked turning over voter data to the regime, was blown up & burned to the ground w her husband & grandkids inside.

Stephen Miller &
@StephenM
X.com
The issue before is now is very simple and clear. There is a large and growing movement of leftwing terrorism in this country. It is well organized and funded. And it is shielded by far-left Democrat judges, prosecutors and attorneys general. The only remedy is to use legitimate state power to dismantle terrorism and terror networks.

If we could have won so easily in Afghanistan why didn't we win when Trump was president? Was he just too woke?

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 2d

Trump: "The problem with Vietnam, we, you know, we stopped fighting to win. We would've won easy. We would've won Afghanistan easy. We would've won every war easy. But we got politically correct. 'Oh, let's take it easy.' We're not politically correct anymore, just so you understand."

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

China is facing US trade tensions. In May, Argentina & China agreed on $900M agricultural trade - including corn, soybeans & vegetable oil

Chinese buyers will now consider South America serious alternative to US for grain supplies

The GOP promised to improve the economy, but funny thing, this jobs report says that's not happening.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 6d

CNBC: "Very disappointing. It's a weak number. This is private sector jobs for September. The total comes in -32,000. And that was a surprise because economists were looking for an increase of 51,000. Also, the revision was not good. August now showing -3,000 compared to the initial read of 54,000"

No matter what Trump or his captive press say, this is a Republican operation. The GOP controls the House, the Senate, and the White House and could pass a funding bill if it wanted. Instead it would rather hurt Americans and blame Dems for the action. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Government shutdown begins after federal funding expires

The lapse in finances means crucial government functions will halt until lawmakers approve more money.
