Carrots and Sticks

It was only near week’s end that things started really hopping. Oh, sure, there was another D.C. federal district judge issuing a ridiculous order -- this week one of them enjoined the President from power washing the Executive Office Building that sits nearby the White House. I must have missed the constitutional provision providing that, for historical if not aesthetic reasons, our federal buildings must be grime covered. And yes, the media was still trying to confect out of the juvenile blatherings of Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes a major split in MAGA.(More likely in my opinion Carlson engaged in self-sabotage, this week attacking his most prominent supporter, Heritage’s CEO Kevin Roberts, who stuck his neck out and jeopardized both his tenure and the organization he heads by refusing to distance himself from Tucker.)

Then, things started popping. Trump presented Volodymyr Zelensky with a 28-point take-it-or-leave-it peace plan; there’s every reason to believe the Texas redistricting plan will pass into being for the midterms; the President has withdrawn the Temporary Protected Status of the thousands of Somalis residing in Minnesota; and the newly elected mayor of New York city buddied up to the President in the White House.

Ukraine

The best, most detailed description of the 28-point peace plan, what it contains and how it was presented to Zelensky is in Jeff Childer’s substack.

I summarize it but urge you to read it all. After four years of sending a tsunami of U.S. money to Zelenzky’s Ukraine, Trump, who ran on a promise to end this war, cut off the funds and reduced the weapons flow there. He tried working with Zelensky and Putin, but the best efforts of the U.S. team were going nowhere. The U.S.-controlled anti-corruption agency NABU exposed what had long been of concern -- enormous government corruption.

And the leftist conspiracy to overthrow President Trump continues as if there is no DOJ looking at it.

The only sociopath criminals stop is if you make them stop.

Makes me wonder how many other orders from judges against the President and his administration that are not reported by the news sources.
