Republican lawmakers are now feeling the pressure at town hall events, facing constituents who are frustrated with the rising cost of medical care. In the presidential debates, Trump said that he had a “concept of a plan.” Ten months into his presidency, still no plan. Mehmet Oz said that he “fully believes that Trump has a plan.” I fully believe that Santa will come down my chimney at Christmas.

The Democrats have voted 13 times now to keep the government in shutdown mode. Every time in the past, Republicans have gathered up the votes for a clean Continuing Resolution(CR) that Democrats now refuse to vote for. Democrats don’t care about SNAP recipients or the military or federal workers, because if they did, they would vote for the CR.

History will record that Trump manufactured chaos and hatred because he had nothing good to offer. No vision. No ideas. No plan for a better way of life for the people. Just tearing down what others had built. Just blames others for his shortcomings and failures. History books will show the Con Man and grifter he is.

In the past, I may have said Real America has TDS. I was mistaken. They actually have TTS, Trump Tired Syndrome. In a 54-word post on 10/26/25, Real America said they were ”tired” of Trump 7 times … tired, tired, tired, tired, tired, tired, tired. Just go to bed if you’re that tired.

More lies, and lies upon lies. Trump said the White House wasn’t going to be touched or changed with his new ballroom, then he destroyed the entire East Wing without following the laws or the guidelines for historic preservation. He’s paying himself $230 million over legitimate investigations from January 6th. The deficit just hit $38 trillion, and prices aren’t coming down, but jobs are. Do you see it yet?

H.B. 1957. The Democrat-controlled House Judiciary Committee passed legislation that would add a Reproductive Rights Amendment to the Pennsylvania Constitution if advanced through the House and Senate in two consecutive sessions and subsequently approved by voters in a ballot referendum. The amendment is expected to legalize full-term elective abortions. With exceptions for medical necessity, abortions are currently prohibited after 24 weeks of gestation, a point of viability. Somewhere, Kermit Gosnell is smiling.

The FTC just slapped Amazon with a $2.5 billion “oopsie” fee for tricking people into Prime like it’s a gym membership from hell — easy to join, nearly impossible to cancel. Sure, it’s pocket lint for Bezos & Co., but here’s the real mystery: Where does that mountain of cash actually go? Straight to the people who got scammed? Doubt it. Or does it vanish into the federal void?

To Logical Bob — You gave us history, but I asked specifically if Sound Off MAGA had questioned an election before Trump (and the Supreme Court did hand the election to Bush, which Gore accepted without all the histrionics and lies of Trump’s 2020 loss). I’ve noticed not one of our Trump cultists has addressed any of those questions. That’s because it would force them to open their eyes to his true, destructive nature

When AOC moved into her own apartment after being elected, it was said that she didn’t know what a garbage disposal was in her kitchen sink. Now the word is out that she is telling Schumer what to do and asking the Republicans to come to her place for talks. Can everyone see how the government is run by no-nothings?
It just gets harder and harder to tell. Is the Democratic Party totally funded by anti-American billionaires and groups, whose only platform is to destroy the United States of America?

Trump has faced two assassination attempts. Justice Brett Kavanaugh survived a plot after Sen. Schumer warned he would “pay the price.” Rep. Steve Scalise was nearly killed by a Bernie Sanders supporter. Now, Charlie Kirk has been brutally assassinated by a radicalized leftist. America has a left-wing political violence problem. It’s time for all Democrats to look in the mirror, admit their rhetoric has contributed, and act to stop and reverse this dangerous trend.
The Right Swipe
Operation Arctic Frost, Operation Quit Skies, DHS sweep in Minneapolis-St. Paul, 50% of immigrants committed immigration fraud, $250 million fraud scheme in child nutrition program during Covid-19 pandemic in Minnesota, expanded Medicaid, expanded ACA subsidies, 12 states’ tax recycling schemes to pay for illegal immigrants’ healthcare, to get back money from the federal government. Obama/Biden Deep State corrupted agencies by Dems! Lenient judges need to go. Obama/Biden is the real threat to Democracy!
“MARINE FOREVER”
To all those Trump supporters. Am I getting in your head? Seems that the hate you project is only matched by his mental instability. Moving an aircraft carrier group to the Caribbean from an unstable region of the world is like swatting flies with a nuclear bomb. Maybe it’s because you are favoring a very corrupt and unstable president!
The Moderate
RealAmerica and all the people in Sound Off, read Sunday’s commentary by Cal Thomas, take a deep breath, and get a life! Everything will be ok! Look forward to the next democratic president and watch the retribution towards Trump, which will be just fine in your eyes! No President has done more, at least you see him not like Biden, who never talked to reporters!

Please come back, Bill Wilson! Our funny man is so corny that it is excruciatingly horrible. Right-wing humor is nonexistent, and this fella proves it every day. Send one in once in a while to help out. Your humor was thought-provoking but never corny. Hope you’re doing well.

ICE will be all over the Super Bowl next year, looking for all the unauthorized immigrants drawn there by the Bad Bunny halftime show. Their $10,000 tickets will be purchased by George Soros. Obviously.

When Antifa was attacking ICE agents in Portland, I saw different colors of tear gas. I wasn’t sure if it was a riot or a gender reveal.

The biggest scam in life … Paying taxes on the money you make. Paying taxes on the money you spend. Paying taxes on the property you own that you already paid taxes on, with already taxed money!
