Wrong way to win back voters, ludicrous denials of gov’t fraud and other commentary

Liberals: The Wrong Ways to Recover Voters

Democrats' “unconditional defense of government officials doesn't look like a promising route to recapture voters they are losing,” Liberal Patriot Warn Louis Teisheira.

Take the defense of USAID. “Most Americans know little about USAID.”

And the foreign aid it manages is “one of the least popular parts of the federal budget.”

Furthermore, Dems “blanket defense” this “unclear system in the era of anti-systems.”

Also, Dems doesn't provide “tips on what they save and what they'll get rid of.”

Dems need to “show common sense to those who spend political capital.” As Rahm Emmanuel says, “Don't swing on every pitch.”

Media Watch: Absurd denial of government fraud

“Media spinmasters are “gaslighting the public” by declaring that government fraud is a mirage – an excuse for Elon Musk's key programme of government efficiency.” I'm writing Alicia Finley from the Wall Street Journal.

For example, last week The New York Times reported The musk “provided no evidence of his fundamental claims” of fraud.

And the film, “After the White House was pushed back,” states Finley, “the Washington press squadron circled the wagon.”

Certainly, Washington Post reporter Aaron Blake competed to uncover allegations of mask fraud, but his article stated that “Blake predicted $233-$521 billion in federal fraud in 2024. “The Government's Accountability Bureau's report has been rejected.”

“By playing what Americans can see with their own eyes, the press is giving Americans more reasons to distrust than they can make it.”

Ukrainian Desk: Hegus' Shock Therapy

Defense Secretary Pete Hegses said “the unpleasant truth that it is unrealistic to expect Ukraine's return to the border in 2014.” Elliot A. Cohen of the Atlantic Ocean.

He also “excluded Ukrainian NATO membership as part of the negotiated settlement. This is also unfair, but inevitable.”

“The bottom line is that the regime is a bad deal for Ukraine, and perhaps forced.”

why? This is because American leaders have long argued that “All Europe, Americans will not bear the burden of European safety indefinitely.”

And “their European counterparts smiled politely and ignored them.” The “dull truth” as Hegseth pointed out could be “shock therapy.”

And it says, “No matter how unexperienced you have, it can be part of the treatment.”

Law Professor: “This is what makes a democracy.”

“There was no reduction that caused such drama as Dorothy threw a bucket of water at the evil witch.” Snarks Jonathan Turley from USA Today Congressional Democrats' Howling Trump moves to reduce the federal government.

But “the majority of Americans say Trump is keeping his promises, including efforts to reduce government spending and waste.”

Trump's “generous takeover offer” is the best way to reduce government” – and he “has the authority to offer shopping.”

Unfortunately, it is what we call “defenders of democracy,” “what democracy looks like,” and “what Americans sought to re-elect Donald Trump.”

Libertarian: Foreign funding for our farmers?

For reasons, Jack Nicastro explodes Senator Richard Blumenthal's argument that suspending USAID spending hurts farmers is because they buy grain from them and provide food to the world.

“Subsidized foreign demand for American produce misdirecting resources from charities to self-dealing.”

The institution was not established to support farmers, but to promote social and economic development in foreign countries “in accordance with the Foreign Aid Act of 1961.”

Anyway, the Department of Agriculture is already doing that.

If USAID is reducing global hunger, “nutritious foods need to be distributed in the most efficient way possible. It's not the most affordable way to provide rent to American farmers.”
