New carry holster, gun safe for vehicle, and some ammo after the retribution agenda eliminates a large number of prosecutors, FBI agents, and intelligence operatives and puts our nation in peril.
He has every right to do a blanket pardon. I don't agree with pardoning those who committed violent acts, but it is his right as President. I also disagree with his firing of those who work to protect our country and creating a security and intelligence void while new people must be hired and trained. All this while the bad guys continue to do their work... Very similar to what happened in Israel, and led directly to October 7, due to a lapse in security after a purge was completed there..... Close the border, mass deportations of criminals, less government regulation, take DEI of its pedestal. OK. But the retribution agenda and personal vendettas are not what the people voted for.

He is doing exactly what he said he would do, but he also ran on lowering the cost of goods and anyone who thinks a tariff trade war with our closest neighbors and other trading partners is going to accomplish that is foolhardy. You nailed it Ross our national security is now in jeopardy, especially with the crew he has nominated for key posts. Our enemies couldn’t be happier as all this weakens us and makes us extremely vulnerable. I posted a very insightful article in the blah blah thread which really describes Trumps approach.
