Ha, ha - just like the last administration, that had cross dressers stealing ladies luggage and running around naked on the White House lawn!

 

No one would believe it unless you saw it!

You take a handful of incidents and make it seem like the whole world has gone trans or everyone is turning gay or trans men are raping women in bathrooms across the United States.  RuPaul is going to make you all his bitches!    Cheers!

And for the record, I think Trump is one of the worst presidents in U.S. history.

 

However, hurting business in the way that California repeatedly does, on a national scale, might just ruin one of the last remaining great aspects of our nation.

 

 

So is Blake too young now...he hasn't seen enough...at least he's honest enough to admit when policy is wrong and didn't make it partisan.  Cheers!

[Parsad]

Will be an interesting weekend!  Cheers!

Military parades take place in other Western countries. France, for example, has the Bastille Day parade, which is one of the oldest in the world. Italy also holds a military parade to mark Republic Day. Other countries like Canada and Spain have military parades or participate in public events involving the military.

 

I even saw that dictator Macron standing in a moving vehicle at the head of a marching army including tanks up the Champs Elysees.  Even military jets, so scary.

What Trump has done with our military is simply amazing. Recruiting is off the charts, morale is up big time, DEI clowns are out and readiness is the top priority.

 

To top it off - honoring the military with an event like this brings great recognition to our armed forces. 

 

Another brilliant move by POTUS & Hegseth.

Troops and marines deeply troubled by LA deployment: ‘Morale is not great’

Several service members told advocacy groups they felt like pawns in a political game and assignment was unnecessary

Cubs, do you have any knowledge of world history? Have you ever read or studied the events leading up to WWII? For instance, have you read William Shirer's, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich? Just wondering.

It's no secret that morale under loser Biden was in the toilet, it's all been well publicized.

[John Hjorth]

Berlingske - berlingske.dk - Politics [June 11^th 2025] : Adopted: American military bases are now allowed on Danish soil.

 

Subtitle : The Danish Parliament has adopted an agreement with the United States that allows military bases and soldiers on Danish soil despite criticism.

 

- - - o 0 o - - -

 

This is a bilateral agreement needed to promote and facilitate the cooperation within NATO, based on sound reason. All that Greenland fuzz going on / off is a separate matter.

Not at all. Just asking a question. Have you spent any time studying the events leading up to WWII? And just for the record WWII started in 1939, not in December 1941.

You can thank Joe Biden's Future Soldier Prep Course for the recent turnaround:

Although if you are being fair, the post-COVID low recruitment are probably a result of COVID, not a particular political faction.

Sorry, that came off a little harsh.

I haven’t read the book in question, but what little I did see when looking into it, was that the author argued for a uniquely German character that laid the grounds for Hitler to successfully propagate Nazism.

 

I don’t see the relevance here.  Just being patriotic and actively pursuing policies that the left doesn’t like is not enough to make the leap to fascism/ dictator etc.

Sure perfectly valid.  See my response just above.  I’m 64 years old and all I basically do is read.  I think you can assume that most people on this board are pretty well read.  When someone looks at something different than you it doesn’t mean they are ignorant.

“Our great Farmers and people in the Hotel and Leisure business have been stating that our very aggressive policy on immigration is taking very good, long time workers away from them, with those jobs being almost impossible to replace,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

No I have never read it. So this is another one of your Trump is Hitler routines?

 

And I am very well read on WWII. Just happens to be one of my interests.

That's a hoot. Turns out, fighting men don't appreciate trannies that can't do pushups in the same showers with them. And they destested being passed over for promotion for the despicable cause of DEI.

 

That's common sense just like the men in women's sports disaster.

Ditto, one of my interests as well. I thought you were fairly up on the subject of WWII from previous posts which is why I asked the question. But what I am getting at Cubs is, have you read up on the subject of how Hitler came into power in the late 1930's and the tactics he and his right wing Nazi party, used to take over Germany and lead it into WWII?

I took a class in college called Modern Germany, and read quite a few books on the rise of Hitler.  Can you please explain what you are driving at?  I am clearly missing the analogy.

Another TACO trade - 

 

 

Rates are coming down......way down.....even if the inflation data says they shouldn't.....Trump is going to appoint Ivanka Trump to be the next Fed chair (i joke)....but you get the point....Trump is going to do deal with the next Fed chair where he needs to commit to scratching this Presidents back by getting aggressive on cuts before he gets the gig.

 

Yield curve control, real rates below inflation....the old monetary getting the fiscal out of trouble trick.

Okay, No problem here. Hate to admit it but I'm older than you  and also do, and have always done, a lot of reading. Perhaps see my response to Cubs.

 

Are you familiar to the events leading up to Hitler taking over power in the '30's? All I am saying is, like it or not there are some commonalities to present day USA, but we will see how things play out. 

 

Also keep in mind that Trump was proud of his German heritage and Trump (by his own admission) had copies of Hitler's early speeches. First wife, Ivana, said he kept them by his bedside. Regarding this, Trump stated, “If I had these speeches, and I am not saying that I do, I would never read them.”
