B-Man

REMINDER:

Pushing Back Against the Big Medicaid Lie. 1. Republicans voted to increase Medicaid spending over the next 10 years by 20%. 2. Republicans voted to preserve Medicaid for the needy by making sure that everyone using the program’s valuable resources is truly needy – and eligible. 3. Republicans voted to create an economy where more people can get jobs that provide high-quality health insurance. Emphasize this: Jobs are good. 4. Republicans treat Medicaid recipients with dignity, asking them to follow simple rules to qualify for the benefit, rather than treating them as helpless wards of the state. 5. Republicans are bending the curve downward on the national debt. Even if the CBO is right that the debt will increase by $3.5 trillion over the next 10 years, that increase is only 20% of what it was over the previous 10 years. And the Trump tax cuts are expected to stimulate the economy, so the national debt will actually decrease. Those will do for a start. Remember, the Big Beautiful Bill is the codification of the agenda that President Trump ran on in 2024. It’s not tricky. It’s not nefarious. And if it is unpopular, that’s only because Democrats have been lying about it. Now, it’s up to Republicans to fight back against the Big Medicaid Lie, or else pay the price for their silence. https://realclearwire.com/articles/2025/07/14/pushing_back_against_big_medicaid_lie_153038.html

No one said that Andrew. The criticism is of Obama's "grouping" of all gay people as alike. Meanwhile: The Democratic Civil War Has Begun — and Obama Pulled the Trigger by Matt Margolis Last week, Barack Obama gave some advice to his party, and it’s astonishing how quickly his words turned into a self-inflicted political wound. He was once hailed as the Democrat Party’s unifying figure, but Obama’s recent scolding of his own party’s base didn’t just flop — it sparked a backlash even his defenders can’t ignore. As previously reported, during a ritzy gathering of party elites in New Jersey, Obama dismissed the rampant frustration among liberals, telling them to show “a little bit less navel-gazing and a little less whining and being in fetal positions.” "And it's going to require Democrats to just toughen up,” he said. Predictably, the base didn’t take it lying down, and frankly, I can’t blame them. This is the same party that cooked up the Russia collusion hoax, impeached President Trump twice for no legitimate reason, weaponized the justice system to try to throw him behind bars, sent the FBI to raid his home, tried to remove him from the ballot, and unleashed such venomous rhetoric that it helped inspire not one but two near-assassinations. It’s hard to imagine how much more aggressive they could be. Even pillars of the leftist media couldn’t stomach it. Whoopi Goldberg publicly unloaded on Obama for his patronizing lecture. https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2025/07/17/obamas-era-as-the-democrats-messiah-is-officially-over-n4941836

That's okay. They're SHOCKED. How could this be? Then again, this is the same mainstream media that thought Kamala Harris would beat Trump ... we suppose reality is only going to get tougher for them to accept as the years go on. That's right, we're not even through Trump's first year yet. https://twitchy.com/samj/2025/07/17/cnn-trumps-approval-has-gone-up-since-epstein-saga-began-n2415798

PROGRESS.

Yes. We remember.

TRUTH

We know that he is a liar already, but he seems determined to keep proving it.

Italy to Purchase $15 Billion in US Natural Gas By Ward Clark More good news, everyone! An Italy energy interest has just committed to the purchase of two million metric tons (tonnes) per year of American natural gas for the next 20 years, making for a $15 billion deal. That's a lot of natural gas that Italy doesn't have to get from Russia. https://redstate.com/wardclark/2025/07/16/new-italy-to-purchase-15-billion-in-us-natural-gas-n2191721

NOTHING TO SEE HERE, MOVE ALONG: Just a reminder that when it’s a Republican, pleading the 5th is a tacit admission of guilt.

Reality Checks About What the Left's Violent Rhetoric Has Caused Makes Dem Heads Explode at Hearing Today the House Homeland Security Committee is having a hearing about "how NGOs facilitated the Biden border crisis" and the Democrats are getting triggered by the truth (as usual) During the hearing, one Democrat tried to cut off a witness for simply pointing out that attacks on ICE officers have skyrocketed at least in no small part because of the Democrats' insane "Nazi gestapo" rhetoric. Rep. Bennie Thompson tried to claim that was outside the scope of the hearing (we're guessing that blaming Trump for the attacks on ICE would NOT be outside the scope of the hearing). Watch: As usual, the Democrats can't handle the truth. https://pjmedia.com/catherinesalgado/2025/07/15/trump-announces-landmark-indonesia-trade-deal-n4941789

Donald Trump has made another favorable trade deal with a country that was reluctant to open up its market to the United States. Trump announced the deal on Truth Social, proudly stating, “This landmark Deal opens up Indonesia’s ENTIRE MARKET to the United States for the first time in History.” The announcement came as U.S. tariff revenues reportedly hit record levels. Tariffs not only bring in money but force countries to renegotiate unfair trade policies against America. In his Tuesday post, Trump wrote, “This morning I finalized an important Deal with the Republic of Indonesia after speaking with their Highly Respected President Prabowo Subianto.” He added details about the deal: “As part of the Agreement, Indonesia has committed to purchasing $15 Billion Dollars in U.S. Energy, $4.5 Billion Dollars in American Agricultural Products, and 50 Boeing Jets, many of them 777’s.” Ordinary Americans will benefit from the deal too, he argued, if they are in the farming or fishing industries, because Indonesia will finally be willing to buy food products from American sellers that they have never bought before. “For the first time ever, our Ranchers, Farmers, and Fishermen will have Complete and Total Access to the Indonesian Market of over 280 million people,” Trump wrote. Importantly, Trump has not entirely removed tariffs, but Indonesia has agreed to a rate, the president stated. “In addition, Indonesia will pay the United States a 19% Tariff on all Goods they export to us, while U.S. Exports to Indonesia are to be Tariff and Non Tariff Barrier FREE.” If this agreement lasts, that’s a pretty big deal, extremely favorable to the USA. https://pjmedia.com/catherinesalgado/2025/07/15/trump-announces-landmark-indonesia-trade-deal-n4941789

Democrats told me that the American people are against Trump’s reconciliation package that cuts taxes, kicks illegals off Medicaid, and secures the southern border. The media magnified the ‘unpopular’ narrative, and like clockwork, it’s wrong. Seventeen of the twenty-one core tenets of the bill have popular voter support, and that’s according to the Harvard/Harris poll So, when 80 percent of a bill is popular, what is it? It’s not unpopular. Democrats already think they have this fight won, with this trite talk about Medicaid being cut. It’s being cut for illegals and lazy Americans who don’t get off the couch. If Democrats want to fight for illegals soaking up federal benefits and able-bodied persons too lazy to find work, then so be it. You’ll lose. There are bits of this narrative collapsing, too. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2025/07/15/another-dem-talking-point-about-trumps-reconciliation-package-just-imploded-n2660366

Soros machine hands Mamdani millions for his socialist quest for control of New York City by Monica Showalter Investigative reporter Paul Sperry has uncovered an interesting fact about leftist mayoral candidate, Zohran Mamdani: BREAKING: Alex Soros has funneled $24 mil to the NYC mayoral campaign of Muslim Zohran Mamdani thru his fundraising arm Working Families, which means Soros' wife HUMA ABEDIN, whose parents are Muslim Brotherhood, "will control the mayor of NY," a lawyer investigating Abedin told me (Snip) Now the Soros plan is to take mayoralties, the better to finish off cities in ways district attorneys and secretaries of state cannot. Yet they present this boob as an independent. https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2025/07/soros_machine_hands_mamdani_millions_for_his_socialist_quest_to_control_new_york_city.html .

The Kamala Harris-ing of Gavin Newsom Is Underway. “The playbook is the same, however: pimp every interaction that Newsom has with Trump or other Republicans as being a Mortal Kombat ‘FINISH HIM!’ moment.” California Governor Gavin Newsom has been boldly — and annoyingly — trying to make a case to Democrats to be the party's presidential nominee in 2028. Some may say it's a premature bid, but let's be honest, our presidential election cycles are practically endless now. For all intents and purposes, the 2028 primary season starts next Sunday, just after brunch. Don't shoot the messenger. Newsom knows that he has to get a head start because he's attempting to do something that is nigh on impossible in the current Dem electoral climate: become the nominee as a (very) white male for a diversity-obsessed party that's desperate to get a woman of color into the Oval Office by any means necessary. The primary driver of their hatred for President Trump is that he has now twice denied them the chance to do a "HISTORIC FIRST!" touchdown dance with their lady nominees. That doesn't mean Newsom is without friends in the party. He's currently getting a lot of love from other Dems and the party's flying monkeys in the mainstream media because he is busy doing what gives Democratic pols street cred these days: cussing a lot while he complains about Trump In fact, the love he's getting seems eerily familiar. I finally put my finger on it last weekend: https://pjmedia.com/stephen-kruiser/2025/07/15/the-kamala-harris-ing-of-gavin-newsom-is-underway-n4941785

Here’s What the Left Doesn’t Want You to Know About the Inflation Report by Matt Margolis The June inflation report just dropped, and right on cue, the left's spin machine is in full swing. Consumer prices ticked up slightly, and now they’re scrambling to spin it as proof that Donald Trump’s America First trade agenda is tanking the economy. But don’t fall for the headlines; they’re not telling you the whole story. Yes, the Consumer Price Index rose 0.3% last month, pushing the annual inflation rate to 2.7%. That’s a bit above the Fed’s 2% target and the highest since February, but it was exactly what Wall Street expected. Actually, it was better. For starters, the Fed expected an increase in inflation, but we saw a smaller increase than predicted. “Excluding volatile food and energy prices, core inflation picked up 0.2% on the month, with the annual rate moving to 2.9%, with the annual rate in line with estimates. https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2025/07/15/heres-what-the-left-doesnt-want-you-to-know-about-the-inflation-report-n4941773
