Crockett: We Don’t Know if We Will Have Elections in Four Years
Representative Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) doubted having a presidential election in four years during Sunday’s “State of the Union” on CNN.
Biden senility-denier Host Jake Tapper said, “You’re close with Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York. Some of your fellow House Democrats say, and not just progressives, by the way, we’ve heard that moderates have said this, too, that they’re ready to support her to challenge Chuck Schumer in a Democratic primary. Would you get behind that?”
Crockett said, “That’s four years from now. If you were asking me, at least in two years, then I would have an absolute answer. But I can tell you that there are a lot of people that are watching his leadership in this moment. This is the moment we don’t even know what elections will look like in four years or if we will have elections. And so I definitely think that younger, fresher leadership may be something that many of us, not just depending on what part of the spectrum you’re on, but many Americans may be looking for, especially in the state of New York.”
The "new AOC" blabs idiotically, just like the old one.
Bessent: American Dream Not Contingent on Cheap China Baubles — ‘It’s Real Wage Gains’
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that the American dream was not cheap goods from China but to realize “real wage gains.”
Leftweing not-so-smart Host Kristen Welker said, “I want to ask you about something that you actually said last week, and we’ll discuss it on the other side. Take a look.”
At the Economic Club of New York, Bessent said, “Access to cheap goods is not the essence of the American dream. The American dream is rooted in the concept that any citizen can achieve prosperity, upward mobility and economic security.”
Welker, who is not an economist nor possessing an inkling of economic knowledge said, “Mr. Secretary, are you there essentially saying that the Trump administration is comfortable to have consumers pay more for goods in America?”
Bessent said, “Not at all, Kristen (you dum-bass...). What I’m saying is the American dream is not let them eat flat screens. If American families aren’t able to afford a home, don’t believe that their children will do better than they are. The American dream is not contingent on cheap baubles from China. It is more than that. We are focused on affordability. It’s mortgages, it’s cars, it’s real wage gains.
Judge James Boasberg, an ally of SSCI Chairman Mark Warner, has intercepted several cases that brought sunlight upon the corrupt DC system.
In each case, Boasberg ruled in favor of maintaining the corruption, including his willfully blind support of the FBI searching NSA databases to conduct illegal surveillance of Americans.
This is the same Judge Boasberg who
- sat as presiding judge on the FISA court
- gave FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith a slap on the wrist for manufacturing evidence used in the Carter Page FISA application that defrauded the court
- appointed former DOJ-NSD head Mary McCord as amicus curiae advisor to the court, after she knowingly and fraudulently submitted the FISA application to the court.
This is the same Judge Boasberg who
- gave J6 FBI agent provocateur Ray Epps a sentence of probation
- on his vacation, went to sit in the DC courtroom to observe defendant President Trump who was forced to appear in DC court
- established a horrible precedent in forcing Vice-President Mike Pence to testify before a DC grand jury about his conversations with President Trump (breaking executive privilege).
Boasberg sits at the epicenter of a thoroughly corrupt and compromised DC court system.
The ‘ah-ha’ moment to understand just how bad James Boasberg was/is, came during his decision to appoint the wife of Chief Justice John Robert’s senior staff Sheldon Snook, Mrs. Mary McCord as amicus to the FISA Court.

Crockett on Schumer: Many Americans Want ‘Younger, Fresher Leadership’
Representative Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) claimed Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that many Americans want young, fresh leadership when asked if Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) should stay in his role.
Crockett said, “I understand that the American people are frustrated. Please believe many of us did not sleep because we were calling and trying to impress upon the Senators the importance of pushing back in this moment. As you saw, we had all but one Democrat in the House that voted for this. So that’s 212 Democrats in the House. And then you had the vast majority of senators vote for it or vote against it as well. And so the idea that Chuck Schumer is the only one that’s got a brain in the room and the only one that can think through all of the pros and cons is absolutely ridiculous.”
Biden senility-denier, who is now writing a book about Biden's dementia, Host Jake Tapper said, “Some progressive groups are calling for new leadership in the Senate for Democrats. Even House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries is your leader. He was asked if he supports Schumer as leader of the Senate Democrats, and he said, “Next question. Do you think Senate Democrats should replace Chuck Schumer?”
Crocket said, “I think Senate Democrats have to sit down and take a look and decide whether or not Chuck Schumer is the one to lead in this moment.”
She added, “I definitely think that younger, fresher leadership may be something that many of us, not just depending on what part of the spectrum you’re on, but many Americans may be looking for, especially in the state of New York.”
Dey be eatin' der own.
Let's not stand in their way!

Left wing lunacy it’s everywhere!
Such a fun day for us.
The key will be to get the illegals to self deport. Countries of origin will have to be hammered. Trump already has the idea. Bill illegals home country for all the expenses the US has incurred on behalf of illegals. Bill the home countries and if they don’t pay cut them off from everything. It could work.
LOl good one!!
Some time in late 2022, the US started issuing ~$1 trillion in debt every 100 days. Here's why
This is also the "miracle" behind Bidenomics in 2023 and 2024. Fixing this will be brutal, but is absolutely necessary.
Government spending was the stealth Biden stimulus. USG spending annually comprises approximately 25% of GDP. This is unsustainable.
Bessent Is Right: The Economy Needs A Detox
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is right when he says that the economy needs a “detox.” To fix the problems created by decades of artificially-low interest rates, soaring deficits, out-of-control spending, a dying manufacturing base, and central bank meddling, there has to be a little bit (or a lot) of pain.
Economic pain contributed to the rise of Trump, and at some point, a much more powerful reckoning is unavoidable before our economy can be cleansed of its sins. But can the American people tolerate even a small dose of bitter medicine, and will the Trump Administration be able to prevent an all-out meltdown in the process?
Sky-high deficits are only getting higher under his administration, with Trump embracing expansionary fiscal policy that increases the debt ceiling and relies on tariffs, a tax on consumers, for revenue. And the U.S. economy has been hooked on cheap money for far too long. Since the Federal Reserve slashed rates to near-zero during the 2008 financial crisis, we’ve seen interest rates hover at historically low levels, with the federal funds rate averaging just 0.8% from 2009 to 2015. Even after a modest tightening cycle, the Fed pivoted again in 2019, and by 2020, rates were back near zero to combat the pandemic fallout. This prolonged period of artificial stimulus has distorted markets, inflated asset bubbles, and left the economy addicted to a drug it can no longer afford.
Bessent’s recent comments frame this addiction as a systemic issue and acknowledge out-of-control spending, but he downplayed the idea of an oncoming recession, saying that it can be avoided (spoiler alert: It can’t).
No administration wants to be in office during an economic downturn, as low-information and high time preference voters will inevitably blame the current president and party for problems that were likely created by decades of bad policy and state intervention.
The Trump administration is trying, basically at all costs, to lower 10-year Treasury yields to reduce borrowing costs through fiscal discipline and energy policy.
It sounds noble, but it’s a fantasy that ignores the underlying rot. The 10-year yield, currently around 4.2% as of early March, per Bloomberg data, reflects market skepticism, not confidence in the grand plan. After all, you can’t “detox” an addict without withdrawal symptoms, and when it comes to some substances, the process can even kill the addict.
U.S. federal debt has ballooned from $10 trillion in 2008 to an utterly mind-boggling $34 trillion, according to the Treasury Department. Annual deficits have averaged over $1 trillion since 2018, fueled by tax cuts and spending sprees that low rates made palatable. Corporations, too, gorged on cheap debt—non-financial corporate debt hit $12.1 trillion in 2024, according to the Fed. Homebuyers joined the party, with mortgage debt climbing to $13 trillion as 30-year fixed rates lingered below 4% for years. Artificially low rates didn’t just enable borrowing—they became the economy’s lifeblood.
I cant watch hungry howie hes too pathetic to watch.
Today, the first 238 members of the Venezuelan criminal organization, Tren de Aragua, arrived in our country. They were immediately transferred to CECOT, the Terrorism Confinement Center, for a period of one year (renewable).
The United States will pay a very low fee for them,… pic.twitter.com/tfsi8cgpD6— Nayib Bukele (@nayibbukele) March 16, 2025
Continues...
The United States will pay a very low fee for them, but a high one for us.
Over time, these actions, combined with the production already being generated by more than 40,000 inmates engaged in various workshops and labor under the Zero Idleness program, will help make our prison system self-sustainable. As of today, it costs $200 million per year.
On this occasion, the U.S. has also sent us 23 MS-13 members wanted by Salvadoran justice, including two ringleaders. One of them is a member of the criminal organization’s highest structure.
This will help us finalize intelligence gathering and go after the last remnants of MS-13, including its former and new members, money, weapons, drugs, hideouts, collaborators, and sponsors.
As always, we continue advancing in the fight against organized crime. But this time, we are also helping our allies, making our prison system self-sustainable, and obtaining vital intelligence to make our country an even safer place. All in a single action.
May God bless El Salvador, and may God bless the United States.
Great stuff Bannon is all over the one billion in 100 days. He mentions it all the time.If anyone can stop it or slow it down its Trump.
I’m watching for results. So far, we’ve only got quite small numbers.
Great catch bud,getting rid of the worst of the worst has always been the first job Trump wanted to happen.
