Yesterday’s biggest news, which many of you have already heard, was headlined atop the New York Times’ website like this: “In Elevating Stephen Miller, Trump Doubles Down on Hard-Line Agenda.” It only took four days to whipsaw from euphoric triumphalism back to complaining about President Trump.
Trump’s promotion of MAGA favorite Stephen Miller to chief of staff produced the predictable corporate media diagnosis: he isn’t surrendering enough. Miller replaced Susie Wiles, who stepped down after Tuesday’s shellacking and a breast cancer diagnosis earlier this year. President Trump called Miller an “MVP every year.”
Cue instantaneous Democrat disgruntlement. “Donald Trump learned nothing from his historic defeat,” Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) fumed. “Our Democratic majorities will fight him every step of the way.” The Times wrote, “instead of ceding to the clear evidence of voter displeasure, Mr. Trump pivoted to a familiar move: more MAGA.”
The Times seemed to think the right response to losing Congress was hiring a grief counselor instead of a popular fighter.
“Mr. Miller has been the driver of the president’s most muscular actions,” the Times explained, “including the use of increasingly hostile tactics to capture immigrants across the country and the bombing of small boats in the Caribbean Sea.”
The Times warned its readers that Miller “knows how the levers of government function.” His “top priority,” the Times said, “is rebuilding the fractured MAGA coalition and pursuing policies that will energize the voters who elected Mr. Trump in 2024.” Let’s hope the Times is right for a change.

They say that like it’s a bad thing
That needed to happen a long time ago
Somehow I thing I have even through this before.
Several times.

I watched a clip of Hassan Piker on the verge of tears in response to Stephen Miller taking this role. The hard left is a bit scared.
Good, the left deserves to feel fear.
Yeah, I don’t think anyone should be using the phrase “release the kraken” or any variant thereof. Didn’t go too well the last time it was rolled out.
