We’re having a News Conference tomorrow in the White House. I’m going to make our Capital safer and more beautiful than it ever was before. The Homeless have to move out, IMMEDIATELY. We will give you places to stay, but FAR from the Capital. The Criminals, you don’t have to move out. We’re going to put you in jail where you belong. It’s all going to happen very fast, just like the Border. We went from millions pouring in, to ZERO in the last few months. This will be easier — Be prepared! There will be no “MR. NICE GUY.” We want our Capital BACK. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
The intention was that Congress would run DC. That way we could see what a great job these professional Congress critters would do. Of course that looks like work and nobody in the Fed Gov wants to do that so they long ago abdicated that power to local corrupt critters.
If street sweeping is anything like snow plowing, Hizzonor’s block will always be swept!
“DeSantis is smart enough and a “patriot enough” to put any animosity aside for the sake of the nation...”
I never used the word animosity, or strong anything. But every vote, decision, bill, expenditure, everything that comes up before the leader of the state belongs to De Santos. It is going to be his decision to do anything and he will be held responsible for anything that happens in Florida over the next 3 years, at least. So De Santos will be judged by the decisions he makes as a governor and Daniels will, also, be judged by what decisions De Santos makes. Such is the burden of command.
Off the top of your head, can you name, without looking it up, the first speaker of the house for the US? But you know who George Washington was because all of it was his. It’ll be the same in Florida unless Daniels goes after De Santos. And that’s discord and a crack in the conservative armor. It would have been much better if they were on each end of the country. Hence our party system’s failure in the country because of like ideologies.
The libs use it as a strong point like California, New York, Oregon, Washington, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and many more...all pronounced liberal fortresses. This is how they keep power as they bleed blue instead of red, no matter what the topic and they won’t for any logical reason, turn on each other. This is why the call it lockstep. And it is the only power they have, not right or wrong, just party.

“”It’ll be the same in Florida unless Daniels goes after De Santos. And that’s discord and a crack in the conservative armor. It would have been much better if they were on each end of the country. Hence our party system’s failure in the country because of like ideologies.””
I don’t think that will happen, but I’ve been wrong about personality clashes in politics before. And yes, the left uses any disunity it can to further their side and to hamper ours. Let’s hope that our guys are smarter than that... and don’t let them have that “power” over us.
We can’t afford to lose to them again because we know what will happen. The changes we make must be permanent and not easily undone by another stroke of a pen, auto or otherwise. That’s why it is crucial that we retain control of both houses next year. God willing, that will be the case.
“That’s why it is crucial that we retain control of both houses next year.”
How do you control the houses of congress without knowing who’s on which side? How the libs versus conservse. is never in balance for any consistent trust of the people as you don’t know who the trust to do anything.
“wrong about personality clashes...”
I don’t think it’s about personalities as much as the recognition of success by both and how they can shift the spotlight on to themselves. But it doesn’t hurt De Santos to be the boss. He’s get the spotlight more than Daniels unless Daniels can figure out a way get to the front. That is called competition. Something the libs don’t do as they select their candidates and that’s all they will allow to get voted in only having a couple of second rated politicians hanging around that will get jobs in the administration after the heist is done. Look at Hilary, or Joe. Obama set them up when he was winning.
And while you are looking, see what they did to Joe for the 2024 was a perfect example of the candidate selection. They threw Joe out on his ear and slammed Harris into the slot tossing Joe under the bus. Harris never won a primary.
So if she was not the candidate chosen by the people, then who was and why her? SOP for the libs.

“Conservatives want incremental change based on reason, debate and trying things out to tweak out the bugs.”
Based on that definition, I would say the current administration is the least conservative government operating during my entire thinking life which at age 87 would be since 1950, when I became aware of the Army/McCarthy hearings and took part in family discussions about political issues. That was also the year my mother trusted me to take my 2 and 4 year old brothers on the 1 hour trip by bus and subway from northern NJ to the Museum of Natural History in NY for the day by myself. I was also trusted to travel alone to summer camp in Cape Cod from Penn Station, NY to Albany, where I changed train with luggage for a 6 week stay, and arranged for a taxi to take myself the last 5 miles to camp when I arrived in Cape Cod. So I would say I was definitely aware of functioning in the real world at 12.
“And we hear of these same general contrasts still today about white vs black cultures—an undesirable resistance to what the whites then called the “work ethic” that powered the early growth and development of the country, as well as to traditional sexual ethics, with higher illegitimacy and abortion rates among blacks.”
I wonder how many people who have promoted the end of abortion in almost all cases realize that this will result in an increase in the black population?
According to “AI Overview
Between 1973 (the start of Roe v. Wade) and 2022 (the year it was overturned), abortion rates for both white and black women declined overall, but black women consistently had higher rates than white women. While the abortion rate for white women decreased, it remained lower than that of Black women. In 2021, for example, the abortion rate was 6.4 per 1,000 women among non-Hispanic white women and 28.6 per 1,000 women among non-Hispanic Black women.”
Since abortion bans are stronger in conservative/Republican states, eventually there will be more black voters in them than there are today. Unintended consequences?
I do ‘t know either, but I do hear the people are happy when they don’t have to move their cars twice a week during the winter months. Only need to avoid parking on some emergency transportation routes when there is snow.
At least “corrupt critters” can and have some times been removed by official DC and the voters. DC has no such power with Congress critters.
I think even Conservatives would agree that after Biden’s disastrous debate performance, the Dems had to do something quick and drastic.
“”How do you control the houses of congress without knowing who’s on which side? How the libs versus conservse. is never in balance for any consistent trust of the people as you don’t know who the trust to do anything.””
You know... by now... that you can’t trust ANY of one side... ie the Democrats. You remain aware of the ones on your side that are, in reality, on the other side (See: Cornyn, Collins, Murkowski, etc.) and you primary/weed them out if or when possible. Anyone that sides with the Democrats on ANY issue needs to be purged from the party (See: Rand Paul, Lindsey Graham).
After experiencing what the left has done TO America, I now have a zero tolerance for any RINO-like activity. It’s a survival instinct thing.
One of the entrenched social problems is the legal destruction of marriage. There were several Supreme Court decisions around the same era as Roe that upheld the "rights" of birth control for singles, unmarried cohabitation, etc. People today cannot imagine what it was like when two unmarried people could not by law rent a motel room (although some did) or legally live in a house together, and when men could be jailed for not supporting their children. It seems harsh, post-"Sexual Revolution", but such laws did compel people to be more careful whom they slept with and whether they would resign themselves to the tedium of marriage or not.
So the libertine ethos of the wealthy white college kids of the 60s bled over into the whole society, where those at the bottom were hardest hit with the economic destruction of stable family and community. Children have suffered. Fatherlessness is toxic, as we see.
The other thrust into the heart of family was NAFTA and the offshoring of good jobs for men, just when black men were getting started in the trades, making great money in construction and manufacturing. Some Detroit auto workers were making $30 an hour or more, back in the 80s. These supports for males are critically important to prevent broken families, single motherhood, fatherless children.
And lastly, studies have shown that with increases in female education, the number of children per woman declines. More black women are getting higher education these days, but education has declined to accommodate the left's jaundiced view of black capability, and has become centered on grievance politics instead of uplift, doing nothing to reassure many black students or employees that they made it on merit and actually accomplished something.
So birth rates are a multi-pronged phenomenon.
Trump has his work cut out for him, trying to return this nation to self-sufficiency top to bottom.
I wonder how many black former auto workers in Detroit now own Korean automobiles?
” Anyone that sides with the Democrats on ANY issue needs to be purged from the party.”
Oh, if it were that easy. But both major groups, RNC and DNC, can only work what the citizens vote in. I’m sure you can see that with the crowning of Harris for the 2024 and it’s efforts to clobber the system. So what arrives in congress is the representation of that state, and voted in by that state, most of the time. And if it is a true representation, it will probably have a mixture of party agendas morphed to fit the citizens. This is how our country was formed, and how it continually insists on their way or the highway. But we’re out of highway unless we buy Greenland or Canada. And they have their idea of what their state should be.
There will always be that separation of fed and state. And it can be good or bad. And since early years of the country this individuality has been used too often as a tool rather than an assembly of minds for power and money. Leave it to man to figure out a way to knowingly self destruct.

“... Dems had to do something quick and drastic.”
They did. They cut their own throats.

“”Leave it to man to figure out a way to knowingly self destruct.””
That would seem to be the atypical case... except for one thing. The random correction and reset. I posit that the nation corrected and reset when it elected Trump last year. Even nature does this. We know it’s possible because it has happened. Therefore, it ‘can’ happen again. I live in hope that we will continue on with this new “era of rational thinking and actions”. At least for a while (until I croak).
Definitely what is needed.

It may appear that way, but one responsible opinion I heard recently is that the Constitution has NOT been followed in the spirit of the law for so long, that much of what the Trump admin is doing is returning policies to their proper legal basis.
My comment about incremental change had mostly to do with policies proposed by conservatives and legislation passed by Congress, as distinct from the actions of the Executive Branch, about which you are possibly thinking.
I hope we won’t always have Presidents like Trump, but right now he’s precisely what we need so we can try to get back to some semblance of normalcy.
