D.L. Gardner: Nothing but a "Dash" Between 45 and 47

Not only did Donald J. Trump win the office of President and JD Vance win the office of Vice President, but they and their modest administration have achieved more acclaim from Americans in seven days than anything Biden and Harris built back better in four years. That’s totally understandable considering all the things they were credited with rebuilding like inflation.

Of course Biden-Harris set two all time records that may stand a long time: the number of illegal migrants crossing our southern border in any year and the location and number of hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied children who have crossed the border.

Americans have no need to dwell on or fear the past. It’s gone! Let’s move on to working together. We have a lot of opportunities to solve challenges with common sense. Our political leaders at every level have ample opportunities to solve challenges with common sense. Scientifically speaking, common sense rarely rises above committee room floors camouflaged with imperceptible patterns.

Real solutions come from the least expected places. How many times have we seen those who have to use their heads to earn a living develop a plan that has utterly confounded some of the most credentialed among us? I have personally heard a small group of young children discuss how to build models with nothing more than a few hundred legos!

Maybe that’s why so many of President Trump’s critics pounce on any of his comments. Number one: they don’t realize what a sense of humor he has. Remember when COVID-19 began at the end of his first term? At a “presser” President Trump said he had read on a can of Lysol or another antiseptic that Lysol kills viruses like COVID. He said, “So, maybe we should just shoot some into us!” IT WAS A JOKE! Jen Psaki cited that as misinformation President Trump used to give!

These days in between times when President Trump’s overseeing efforts to clear up and restore hurricane damage in North Carolina and Tennessee, meeting with the people who have lost everything, and comforting those who have lost neighbors, friends, and friends, he’s meeting with his own workers to see what needs to be done to help particularly the hopeless and to do the impossible.

Then he catches a plane and a couple of helicopters to survey the fire damage on the West Coast. He repeats his actions, talking with workers who are trying to clear and clean up the damage, and talking with those who have lost so much. President Trump is an action kind of guy. He wants to hear about it from those who’ve suffered the most, and he wants to hear solutions from those who should know or knows somebody who knows. That makes sense. Common sense, Americans have endured the last four years of bad decisions made by out-of-touch people whose minds are rooted in Washington, D.C. Folks in East Palestine, Ohio, suffered much damage from Washington responders after the train derailment on February 3, 2023. What little aid that did come from Washington was really a lot of bad advice.

Let’s hope President Trump’s critics will give the rest of us a break this time around from criticism that was as flawed as Biden-Harris’ solutions during their only term.

It’s good to see you guys get what you voted far. It’s a recipe for disaster. Watch inflation and unemployment soar.

DL, Trump hasn't even been in office a full month and he has already caused two disasters.

-Jan 20: FAA Director Fired
-Jan 21: Air traffic controller hiring frozen
-Jan 22: Aviation Safety Advisory committee disbanded
-Jan 28: Buyout/Retirement demand sent to existing employees
-Jan 29: The first American mid-air collision in 16 years

Making America Great Again!

(ps this is a repeat of how Trump shut down and defunded all of the pandemic preparations prior to the covid pandemic)

The fake Covid pandemic? That one?

If it weren't for double standards, people like you would have no standards at all. Where was your criticism of Biden when he was screwing things up?

Anonymous said...

So, you think Trump was flying the aircraft, or handling the duty of the air traffic controller? Those are the positions of responsibility in this accident. The person that allowed the helicopter to fly at 400 feet (0.12 km) will be the responsible party.

Of course when the president says something stupid or completely outlandish it's a joke, showing his great sense of humor. Oh. That explains it. Thanks

Tearing it down is easy, it’s the building that takes time. Donald is great at breaking crap so it doesn’t function. That’s not a goal anyone with sense would share.

Trump’s number one campaign promise was to fix the economy and lower prices. He hasn’t done a thing to help, all his executive orders so far will make things much worse. Elon didn’t spend 300 million convincing Americans he would deport every brown person, he spent it to trick us into believing he was good for the economy. The midterms will be an absolute slaughter after a couple more years of Project 2025. This is going bigly bad and bigly fast. Buy gold and a gun and keep your head down and maybe we can survive this attack on our country.

He fired the people responsible for keeping us safe. Sometimes these regulations are there for a reason, we will learn all those lessons again with the blood of innocent Americans.

I have never seen someone so brainwashed in my life. According to DL, King Trump can do no wrong. You will regret your decision when inflation hits an all time high. America will be a laughing stock for the next four years.

Does anyone know what DL is trying to say here?

“Of course Biden-Harris set two all time records that may stand a long time: the number of illegal migrants crossing our southern border in any year and the location and number of hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied children who have crossed the border.”

If anyone speaks MAGA and can translate it into a coherent thought, please explain.

The TDS being displayed on this board is astounding. Maybe Fauci can come out of retirement, and follow the money, I mean the science, to a cure for TDS.

The hot button issue with the voters was illegals coming over the border, and it was Trump's promise to correct it.

So, the Biden/Harris catastrophe was supposed to have been fixed by Trump in the first 10 days? Somehow I missed that at the swearing-in. 🤔

I wonder if the moonbats researched the FAA lawsuits? Probably not, that would require them to think twice about their lord and savior Obama. I wonder if the moonbats remembered that there was “no inflation” under Biden? But then there was and they were quiet. But any research or thinking for them is asking a lot if CNN isn’t telling them what to think. CNN had to retract a statement blaming Trump for the collision less than an hour after it happened and moonbats think Trumps firing of people actually had something to do with the accidents when if they did some research it had absolutely nothing to do with it. Moonbats are not the brightest people around.

They almost had bathroom accidents when the medicaid portal went down . Then, They did when he said he was shutting down all loans and grants. If he succeeds in shutting down FEMA, do you really think MIssissippi can handle hurricane on its own.

Trump needs to shut it all down. I have been prepping since 1994 so I am ready. I don't need no government. Light the match and throw gas on it. Without our tax dollars, the urban democrats will eat the limousine leftists. We can rebuild when only the strongest constitutional patriots are left.

When there is a world -wide pandemic, the whole world economy suffers. That is why in the President's office there were in 2016 instructions (and still are) on how to keep a pandemic in another country from spreading into the U.S.

Trumpsters seem not to have noticed we recovered the fastest during the pandemic and our economy was the strongest in the world in 2024.

And, apparently, not a single Trumpster understands tariffs. Goods will cost more and some goods won't be available at all. Stock up on coffee...we don't grow coffee beans. You don't understand that, like it or not, we have a global economy. US textiles were the first to move overseas in the '60's, but it was the '80's when "offshoring" began to be a problem. If you hated inflation before, you are really going to hate it now.

If you think all the companies that went overseas, can quickly move their operations and train new people to do the jobs. Even if all our industries come back , there are natural resources we don't have and won't have even if we takeover Greenland and Canada...still no coffee beans, or vanilla or cinnamon or black pepper or nutmeg or ginger. We aren't really tropical...even with Puerto Rico's help.

A wise textile executive said in the '60's, that we are arrogant fools to believe the " cheap overseas laborers" are all stupid and none of them will seize the opportunity to take what they learn to learn our skills and steal our technical knowledge and duplicate our products to profit themselves". He said that long before executives at the top were taking more than a 20% profit or million in bonuses. Our ignorance is killing us...literally.

The best part about paying more for just about everything as a result of these stupid tariffs is that all of you MAGAs will be paying more as well. But hey, I get why you all support Trump, and its because his lack of morals and hypocrisy align perfectly with your own. He says the things you wish you could say without consequences. So go ahead and savor your victory and enjoy these next 4 years; its going to be one hell of a ride for all of us.

DL has never asked himself why a wealthy attractive young man never dated any of the wealthy and/or beautiful women his age in college or at NYC. The two smart women he married were foreigners.
DL never asked himself why Trump didn't have " hometown" support like most politicians. Since I'm Trump's age and have friends in NYC and Florida who are wealthy as well as having friends who were at Penn. I know why. He is rude, crude, ill mannered ,self-centered, petty, and not a "genius".
Now that he is unleashed, he'll be President until he dies and the "painful" inflation is just the beginning. He's not exactly known for his loyalty...to wives or friends. And, if you aren't "useful" AND cloying, you won't last long. But, poor thing doesn't know Elon et.al. plan to outsmart him , not make him as rich as they are.

When one air traffic controller is doing the work of 3, you won’t be as safe when flying. It’s pretty easy guys, not sure what you can’t understand? Maybe it’s just your Trump ego that can’t afford to admit when you screwed up or maybe you naivety believe Trump’s reasoning, brown people are to blame for all of Donald’s failures.

@8:40 - the TDS is so rampant that even Berkshire Hathaway is affected. They have such a case of TDS that they decided to hoard over $300 billion in cash instead of risking it under Trump’s leadership of our economy. It takes a whole lot of TDS to make a decision like that, right?

Berkshire started hoarding cash under the Biden maladministration. TDS has really short-circuited your reasoning ability.

February 3, 2025 at 10:11 AM, you will need to talk to Biden, and Obama, about the lack of air traffic controllers. They wouldn't hire qualified applicants, if they didn't meet DEI standards. There's a lawsuit concerning that;

Berkshire Hathaway started hoarding cash several years ago because they believe the stock market is grossly overvalued. Now they sit and wait until the markets reach valuations they find attractive.

@2:10 If you bothered to read the article that you posted the link for then you would have seen that the lawsuit was filed in 2015. If it is Obama and Biden's fault then why didn't Trump do something when he was president the first time?

I read the article. Your kind was resisting Trump from inside using the entrenched bureaucrats, and bloodsuckers, that is the democratic political machine.

It didn't help that the uni-party branch of the Republican Party was working against him, also. How could he fix it?

Trump and his inner circle think that brutal treatment of immigrants, cutting aid to poor nations and treating our closet neighbors with disdain is their ticket to good favor. They will soon see the cry of the people when they realize what they have done.

All those knuckleheads making post questioning, or demeaning Trumps intelligence, how is it he has beaten your democrat leaders severely, and repeatedly? If he's so dumb, how does he defeat the so-called educated party? What a bunch of maroons.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
