TIME magazine has released a major cover story preparing its readers for Trump’s return to the White House. In a long-form interview with the former president, journalist Eric Cortellessa establishes Trump’s key failing in his first term in office; he didn’t go far enough. [Snip] What emerged in two interviews with Trump, and conversations with more than a dozen of his closest advisers and confidants, were the outlines of an imperial presidency that would reshape America and its role in the world.

I cannot remember any issue ever where the news media were so directive to readers as to what they should believe, cf. "his false assertion that the 2020 election was stolen." Note to Time, this is not going to age well. Everybody else seems to know more than you do, showing there was some theft, and as to how much, nobody knows including you. The Democrats will not allow audits or cleaning of the electoral rolls. Draw your own conclusion from that. Will not age well, all these liddle editorials and finger shaking at us.

Having had the privilege and honor of enjoying this website for 20 years, it is disheartening to see a change in poster commentary that, in the past, offered a perspective instead of what now seems to be an all too ready reaction, an instant dismissiveness with a snarky remark simply because an article appears in a liberal publication. There is no question most articles in liberal publications present the liberal mind-set, however, some articles contain substance worthy of being read and these TIME interviews with President Trump are examples of “SUBSTANCE” despite the mistaken perception/presentation by liberal journalists. It is sincerely hoped that simply because a known liberal publication offers an article that may be worth reading is not at least given a quick review before denouncing it—it might be a diamond in the rough.

I find it hard to continue reading any article/interview where the writer/interviewer states unequivocally that there was no election fraud. It has always been understood by both parties that all elections have “irregularities “. Now the dims want to say that 2020 election was the exception and was handled perfectly.

#9~ Such reticense is understood, however, with these two interviews, disregard, totally detach from the journalist and read President Trump’s responses. Forget the journalist’s opining and read, absorb the content, the substance of President Trump’s responses that provide an insight into a second term of office that are more illuminating and explicit than what is usually or can be presented/provided in his massive rallies.

The interviewer is a bit obnoxious, but Trump gives great answers, about what you'd think. The transcript is well worth your time, thank you, OP.

There is a plus-side to the vile anti-Israel and antisemitic encampments at Columbia and several other universities--the anti-American side of the movement is on full display. As I’ve been saying for years, the racialized and radicalized campuses are a threat to our nation, now they have shown their hand for all to see. When they burn American flags, and when they chant for the destruction of the U.S., they are showing us who they really are. [Snip] It’s going to get worse. After spending months screaming for an Intifada (the suicide bombing campaign against Israel), don’t be surprised when some of them try to fulfill their sick fantasies.

When the Dobbs ruling overturned Roe v. Wade, we knew the abortion industry would not go away quietly without a fight. As you know, after our amicus brief was cited by the U.S. Supreme Court in overturning Roe, Liberty Counsel has been fighting the abortion industry’s attempts to make killing an unborn child a “right” in state constitutions across the country. [Snip] Now, the abortion industry is going for a bigger prize--federal legislation to force every state to wipe away all abortion restrictions. The bill even goes so far as to overturn the federal ban on gruesome partial birth abortion,

Finland’s Supreme Court has announced it will take up a contentious case against a Christian politician who has faced a years-long legal battle for sharing her biblical views on sexuality. Dr. Päivi Räsänen, the Finnish politician who was once again victorious in court this past November, will continue her battle after the prosecutor appealed to the nation’s high court. [Snip] In the trial that concluded in November, Räsänen said the prosecutor argued she’s allowed to “believe in her mind whatever about the Bible, but it is illegal to express it outwardly.”

This is a business model that requires Congress to continue to vote for money, to continue to fund foreign wars. This is a business model the American people do not support.

There is so much anti-Israel propaganda floating around right now. [Snip] The European Union’s high representative for foreign affairs and security policy, Josep Borrell, blamed Israel, saying, “Starvation is used as a weapon of war. Israel is provoking famine.” [Snip] But Hamas, which has been hoarding food and stealing from Gazans, is the root cause of Gazans’ suffering. [Snip] Israel has tried for years to balance its interests with those of innocent Palestinians.

As RedState reported, things finally reached their breaking point at Columbia University on Tuesday night. After weeks of illegal trespassing by pro-Hamas fanatics that escalated to the storming, damaging, and occupying of Hamlitlon Hall, police finally got the green light to move in, and move in they did. According to the latest reports, the pro-Hamas "encampment" and Hamilton Hall have been cleared, with over 100 arrests being made. Videos are emerging of the raid and its aftermath, with dozens of "protesters" crying in horror as they face the consequences of their actions. A fair warning that you may enjoy this a bit too much.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) could be the latest Democratic lawmaker to face a censure resolution in the House after Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) announced plans to condemn the hard-left lawmaker over her comments on pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses. Bacon is set to introduce the resolution as early as Wednesday, although it remains unclear when the Nebraska Republican will seek to force a vote on the measure. The text has not yet been finalized for the resolution, although it’s likely to include Omar’s latest comments as well as past statements regarding Israel, according to a source familiar.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) announced Wednesday she’ll force a vote next week on whether to oust Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), an extraordinary move highlighting the internal turmoil in the GOP. But it’s also a move that is all but certain to fail after Democratic leaders said they would vote to protect the Speaker from her coup attempt. Forcing a vote on the motion to vacate resolution — which Greene filed against Johnson more than a month ago — will compel the chamber to act on the measure within two legislative days. “I think every member of Congress needs to take that vote and let the chips fall where they

California Democrats who pushed through the state’s punitive new minimum wage must be feeling mighty proud about now. Not only are fast-food joints closing or replacing low-end employees with overseas workers and robots, now the law is costing the very people it was supposed to help while decimating consumers’ wallets. Well done! The $20-an-hour wage floor foisted on California’s fast-food restaurants, dubbed with the innocent-sounding moniker Assembly Bill 257, was signed into law last fall. It didn’t take long to become a disaster. Hoover Institution senior fellow and economist Lee Ohanian showed just how quickly bad policies can wreck an economy.
