Bill Crawford: "I Run the Country and the World"

With apologies to Art Linkletter’s “kids say the darndest things”:

In a post on X, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth writes, “This morning, I proudly ENDED the “Women, Peace & Security” (WPS) program inside the @DeptofDefense. WPS is yet another woke divisive/social justice/Biden initiative that overburdens our commanders and troops – distracting from our core task: WAR-FIGHTING.”

When it was revealed that the program had been championed by Ivanka Trump, pushed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio while in the Senate, and enacted by President Trump in 2017, Hegseth posts a follow-up on X. He says the program was “straight-forward & security-focused” in 2017 when Trump enacted it but was “RUINED” by Joe Biden.

Just this April Rubio touted the program. “President Trump also signed the Women, Peace, and Security Act, a bill that I was very proud to have been a co-sponsor of when I was in the Senate, and it was the first comprehensive law passed in any country in the world – the first law passed by any country anywhere in the world – focused on protecting women and promoting their participation in society,” Rubio said at the International Women of Courage Awards.

News leaks out that Amazon plans to disclose the cost of Trump’s tariffs in the price of products it sells online. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt blasts Amazon saying, “This is a hostile and political act by Amazon.” She also accused Amazon of partnering with “a Chinese propaganda arm.” A angry Trump calls Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. An Amazon spokesperson announces that posting the tariff amounts was “never a consideration for the main Amazon site.” She added that tariff listing was “never approved and not going to happen.” Trump reveals he talked to “good guy” Bezos, who “did the right thing” and “solved the problem very quickly.”


After returning from Pope Francis’ funeral in Rome, Trump was asked who his choice would be to succeed Francis. “I'd like to be pope,” he said. "That'd be my number one choice.” Reporters said Trump was joking. The President went on to name an alternative. “We have a cardinal that happens to be out of a place called New York who is very good,” Trump said referring to Archbishop of New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan.

All this followed a published interview Trump had with The Atlantic in which he proclaimed, “The first time, I had two things to do – run the country and survive; I had all these crooked guys…And the second time, I run the country and the world.”

“China won’t kneel down,” responds a post by the Chinese Foreign Ministry.

“A careless talker destroys himself” – Proverbs 13:3.

Crawford is the author of A Republican’s Lament: Mississippi Needs Good Government Conservatives.

Sounds to me like Trump is winning. Libs are fuming and foaming at the mouth. China is extending olive branches as their factories sit idle. Japan is making a deal in hopes that the Nintendo Switch 2 is on store shelves in time for Christmas. The left is trying their hardest to make Trump look bad but he is loved by the people. As Rush said before, the lamestream driven media didn’t make Trump so they can’t break Trump.

Libtard really can’t meme.
As far back as 2020, a popular online meme was Donald Trump, wearing golden armor and holding a flaming sword, as the God Emperor of the universe from Warhammer 40K.
Here is a magnet of Trump as God Emperor for sale on Amazon Taiwan in Chinese https://www.amazon.com/-/zh_TW/MAGNET-Emperor-Trump-MAGA-冰箱金屬磁鐵窗乙烯基/dp/B07GRF3ZZV

There was also a statue erected in Italy of God Emperor Trump https://enwikipedia.org/wiki/God_Emperor_Trump again from Warhammer 40k

It does seem like unruly children are running things these days. Indeed, I remember first seeing Rubio at an outdoor reception given by the Commandant of the Marine Corps for his British equivalent.
I thought Rubio was the teenage son of another guest. He was dressed like a frat boy in khakis and a blue oxford cloth shirt and was breaking in line or reaching over others at the buffet tables.

I now think it's obvious that spoiled brats, insecure men and bullies run government. A few might think they are in a " revenge of the nerds" drama, not understanding that a well-adjusted genius is smart enough and observant enough to make friends.

It should also be obvious now to blue collar workers that our current President doesn't care about you or anyone who " outlives their usefulness". You also should have figured out that he hasn't taken a business course since 1969 when he got his BA degree and IF he was at the "top of his class", it would have been noted in Penn's annual. If you have a computer, you can look up his bio. You can also look up every time he's been sued and the outcomes. But, you were too lazy and felt too good being " part of the crowd". Shame on you!

I’ll repeat the quote again, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil, is that good men do nothing.” I am praying our congress and senate leaders wake up and rein him “Absolute power corrupts, absolutely.”

In my home we have a shrine to President Trump. We burn candles and incense and give a daily offering of Diet Coke and Big Macs.

Trump can pull their chain without them even knowing he's pulling it. Keep raging on, Bill.

American lifestyles have been kept afloat by cheap Chinese goods for a generation. This is how we have been able to “live wealthier” despite workers’ wages being basically stagnant in real dollars since roughly 1970.

When the cheap goods stop flowing the stability folks have taken for granted for decades will come grinding to a halt.

The supply disruptions will quickly lead to price increases if (IF) the goods are available.

It's all fun and trolling the libtards until the shelves start going bare at the Krogers and Walmarts.

One should never take pleasure in another’s pain, but it sure is fun laughing at Trump trolling Larry David, Robert De Niro and the others from Pervert Land Hollywood, and the lap dogs that call themselves journalists while in reality being nothing more than propaganda shills for the Democrat Party.

Prior to using the word evil to describe Trump, you Democrats need to clean up your child killing Democrat controlled cities, and take responsibility for the crimes your party facilitates, including the rape and murder of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray

At 2:37 in the link below, we learn first-hand what EVIL REALLY IS, and which party OWNS that title. But hey, no big deal, because it wasn’t your daughter - was it?

@12:45 PM But how did we get here? Was it a devalued currency due borrowing for pointless wars to enrich the Military/Industrial Complex? Or was this entire issue caused by offshoring to increase short term/quarterly profits?

@1:57 Im more worried about the shelves of Dollar Tree and Harbor freight going bare than Walmart and Kroger. Maybe the Tilapia at Kroger cones from China? More likely Vietnam. As for Walmart, none of the stuff we really need to survive is made in China. The food and ammo is all made in the USA. So I am set. I even have an American made pair of knock-off crocs I bought at walmart. I only bought them because they are made in the USA

If left to their own devises people will ultimately throw off the pretense of self-determination and choose a king or dictator. The hatred of the other herd is greater than any love for our own herd whom we don't trust either. Mr. Trump has brought us to reality. Why did it take so long? Hail Trump.

Who is Bill Crawford? What in his portfolio would convince me I should care what he thinks?

I'll repeat the question, again, why aren't you doing something?

The only "joke" in this are the Trumpladites who are loathed by their "Dear Leader". He is picking their pockets, taking their freedom and will ultimately eliminate them all when they no longer suit his purpose.

It's pretty clear Trump never " did Christmas" or " birthdays" for his daughters. It's not the number of dolls, it's how much one doll costs and no parent of daughters ever has bought 20 dolls at once. Even collectors don't do that. We need a President that has had " a real life" or at least was interested enough in his employees to observe/ learn how most Americans live.

Just a side note…just saw video of President Trump lying again. Telling reporter he was not accepting pay for being President, that he was the first President to do that, and it was just a nice thing to do to not accept pay….President John Kennedy donated his salary to charity. Trump is a compulsive liar, he lies without blinking. It would be funny, if it wasn’t so sad that it’s just accepted.

You know, you could be right, but he hasn't stolen our joy. You wouldn't know about joy, because you have never had any. All of you liberals look like you are sucking on a green persimmon.

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.
