When you come to someone with your hat firmly in your hand for help, don’t attempt to shame them publicly for more. Always be grateful for what you got, before you end up leaving with nothing.
It’s also not smart to have your #1 and #2 in the same room. That was such a set up.
What exactly has Trump given Zelensky? A bad phone call? A photo op for Putin? That’s not something to be grateful for.
Don’t conflate who the POTUS is at the moment, with the United States of America. They are two different things.
Biden didn’t give Ukraine anything, and neither will Trump.
Any aid to Ukraine or any other country around the globe comes from People of the United States of America, not from any single politician or political party.
I think the People of the United States has given Ukraine quite a lot. According to the US Security of State, US Security Cooperation with Ukraine fact sheet dated Jan 20, 2025, $65.9 billion dollars.

Who makes up the deep state?
Your mom
I like your style.
She hates vaccines like you
came here to say this – thank you
Obama, China Joe Biden, the Clinton Mafia….
Why do you ask, who do you think are the deep state?
P.S. I find that weird that a mere question without implied opinion invited so many thumbs up and thumbs downs. I am probably missing something, but what was so great, or so bad, about the question?
Yoyo… shame on you! I mean, sure… it made me laugh, but when a misguided Liberal reaches out with a legitimate question it is our duty to respond with a serious answer in an effort to help them understand how the Socialist Democrats and other non patriots purposely undermine our Constitutional Republic with their sabotage & sedition.
*
So…. Concord Resident, to politely answer your question:
“Deep state” is a cadre of employees inside our government that are working to secretly manipulate government policy and undermine our elected leaders.
These people have (or had) positions in nearly every area of government.
They are currently being exposed & weeded out by our new common sense based, legitimately elected administration and being replaced by the best qualified men & women hired for their abilities REGARDLESS of race, religion or sexual orientation rather than because of it.
So the DOGE employees aren’t the deep state because they are working for POTUS and we know who Elon is?
Since I had three close members of my family who worked for the government, I think I can answer. The deep state is mostly hard-working government employees who are simply doing their jobs. One “deep stater” worked to protect the President of the United States when he was traveling by plane, whether the President was a Republican or a Democrat. The other two worked for the Department of Energy and did their best to ensure that our country had reliable energy sources. One of these people was quite conservative, while two of them were on the more liberal side. They just did their jobs.
Ask them how compartmentalized their jobs were. Ask them if they were expected to just follow their orders regardless. Thank you. The government is a machine with several parts never knowing WHY they do, they just do for a check, and a FAT pension
Sam. I can’t speak for others, but the two people I knew at the Department of Energy are\were smarter than most folks I know. Neither was an ignorant drudge. One was the supervisor of the group. The other, had worked for Nixon and Ted Kennedy prior to joining the DOE, and had travelled the world as an economist. This person, who I knew for 65 years, had a far greater knowledge of the US, the US government, and International affairs than I or anyone on Claycord. And no matter who the boss was, these people just did their damn jobs. And with a lot of knowledge and insight into what they were doing, as well as a pretty good idea of the big picture.
However, they did get nice big pensions, after decades of work for the government.
The answer to the question nobody asked…. “who isn’t the deep state?”
The elected Liberal party
The people who hold all branches of rhe government are the deep state, and those who fund them.
I don’t recall who said so recently, might have been Tulsi who would know or RFK Jr. but they are a very wealthy group who stay hidden. Think of the Wizard of Oz, where L Frank Baum in the novel tried to warn of them. More recently “The Day of the Jackal” TV series on Peacock also refers to them. Whomever they are the world would be better off without them.
Wait, are you telling me that Robert F. KENNEDY Jr. isn’t a part of the deep state himself?
Do I need to explain why I capitalized the last name Kennedy? I don’t need to pull from works of fiction here. Non-fiction will do.
It appeared that the press corps seemed to be happy to have a President who could answer questions and entertain at the same rather than the animated corpse they got for the last 4 years.
Trump doesn’t answer questions. He incessantly lies.
Also, this isn’t entertainment. The degradation of our democratic republic is happening before our very eyes.
Democratic republic – You mean the inept and feckless democrat system that was destroying the country?
Destroying? It was good enough to fund Elon’s bought businesses for the past 20 years to the tune of $38 billion?
Good job parroting liberal media drivel.
CG-
We can argue about whether Trump incessantly lies or not. But a lie is still an answer to a question, as is the truth. Therefore, Trump DOES answer the questions.
“If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice”

“incessantly lies”? Actually he is one of the few with the guts to tell the truth.

Can anyone seriously explain why Trump is now saying the Ukraine started the war against Russia? Yesterday’s debacle in the White House seems to be a win for Putin.
Yes. Anyone familiar with the subject could. It’s not on us to teach you things. Figure out why that was said.
That is not a counter point Sam doge.
To answer your question doh, while i can really only speculate what is the real motivation for the President’s position on Ukraine, I do believe we have one of the rare time when a dichotomy isn’t false. President Trump is either unaware of what he says and is unable to stop commenting, or he is playing a role to benefit someone else. The person who benefits the most from this is Putin.

I suppose this bill will get two or three votes in favor, but it’s highly unlikely to get out of committee, much less get voted into law.
That is what a lot of people said about Prop 47, the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act before it got passed.
……and what was said about boys playing against girls. In fact, some dude just won the MVP in a women’s college basketball tournament. Out of everything going on in this world, this to me is still the most shocking; that people are fine with men saying they’re women and then competing against women, physically hurting women, out-performing women, and then taking prizes away from women.
This happened in Canada.
I know that, and it doesn’t matter. It shouldn’t be happening at all.
Concord Resident,

The United States hasn’t had any presidents who were “convicted of sexual assault,” but you know that.
semantics:
“In November 2022, Carroll filed a suit against Trump for battery under the Adult Survivors Act. On May 9, 2023, a New York jury in a civil case found Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation against Carroll, but found him not liable for rape. They awarded Carroll US$5 million in damages.[16] In July 2023, Judge Kaplan stated that the jury had actually found that Trump had raped Carroll according to the common definition of the word as they had ruled that Trump had forcibly and nonconsensually penetrated Carroll’s vagina with his fingers.[17] New York state’s definition at the time defined rape as solely nonconsensual penetration of the vagina by a penis.[18] A September 2023 partial summary judgment again found Trump liable for defaming Carroll. On January 26, 2024, Trump was ordered to pay Carroll an additional $83.3 million in damages.[19]“
Concord Resident,
.
It looks as though your original comment was removed. Being “onvicted of sexual assault” and being found “liable for sexual battery” are two separate things, one is criminal and the other is civil, but you know that. It’s much more than semantics.
So nice, democrats are looking out for safety of criminals.
Considering how many they’ve let out of state prisons.

“When a clown moves into a palace, he doesn’t become king. The palace becomes a circus” —Turkish proverb.

So are you describing your own classroom or is this your opinion on the current political landscape of our state or country?
A king will provide a direction and respond to questions or bullies. A king will ignore the jabs from the clowns as they will let their actions speak louder than words .
A clown will fail to answer questions and when presented with facts about official languages or challenged will fail to respond at all. A clown will also resort to name calling when challenged by facts.
Sleepy Joe? Little Marco? Meatball Ron? Crooked Hilary?
Who said those?
and confused/angry
Americans don’t bow to kings. Presidents know they are representing a people and stand up for them. A clown is a king, and is paid to be there. When has Trump not resorted to name calling? Official languages? We didn’t have one till last week, and the man barely uses it as is.
Ken
Are you one of her students? :). Your bias is showing with your quick little (ineffective) jabs.
Official languages? Ummm, California has one and since 1986 or so, it has been English. In fact many states in the Union have English as the official language. All Trump did was codify that English is the official language of the United States. I know your teacher told you differently but you can verify it online pretty quickly and thus prove her wrong again.
Name calling, numerous time Trump has done it, so has your teacher and many other politicians. It does not make it right.
Careful everyone….if Ken goads you into name calling you’re leaving yourself wide open for him to use the old “I am rubber, you are glue…” comeback.
Two things ..
1) See Dr, this is why we need a laughing response in addition to our thumbs up and thumbs down respones … This comment from you would have lots of laughing responses.
2) Secondly, for Ken to respond, MDUSD Teacher would need to let him out of class or allow him to use his phone during class.
That would be cool but I’m happy with the thumbs up/down anyway.
Thumbs up means conservative approval and thumbs down means I ticked off the Liberal lemmings.
So they’re both positives in my book, but guess which ones give me the most joy?
I know you are.
Yo Mama…
No, I am not a student at Concord High, never have been.
I waz matching your poetic tone, hailing kings.
I didn’t call you a name. And MUSD teacher didn’t either.
Trump issued an executive order, that is not codifyung a law. Which by definition requires organization of already existing laws, consolidating existing organizations, and coordinating within the framework. By direct contrast and executive order is an edict.
Trying to counter by labeling me does not counter your point.
Oh, and big props to the people downvoting in favor of a monarchy. Real patriotic there.
Not sure where you see me hailing kings, but that is okay. The downvotes are not because people want a monarchy, it is because you are not making sense in your postings.
Name calling, never said you did, was just responding to your original comment about Trump doing it. I even said it was not okay to do it.
An EO is simply a presidential order which has the full force of the law. It requries no action by Congress. It may not be codified at this time, but an EO can be treated in the same way. So let me put this in simple language, the EO officially recognizes English as the only official language for the
United States of America. To your point though, an EO is only an edict, but every president and governors has done it, do you remember the California lockdown EO’s pushed by our governor?
I have only labeled you as a student of MDUSD Teacher, no more than that. If you inferred any other labels, that is simply on you.
As for not being a student @ CHS, good for you you just seem to jump to her defense regularly.

I’m not holding my breath.

You may not call people names, but you do show your opinions in the classroom and on this site with your holier than thou and know it all attitude. Does that really work for you in life, the arrogance? And how does that work for you when people point out your inaccuracies? Or do you ignore them as well?
As for logic, where? I have seen you point fingers and most recently state, I only posted a quote and people assumed who I was talking about. Really? We have seen you on here enough to k ow you were trying to point at President Trump, but your argument is flawed and weak.
Parent, yes he does call people names. He offers to draw you pictures because you’re too stupid to comprehend what he’s saying; you’ve never known or ever will know the Constitution as well as he so you better stay in your lane; or perhaps you’re just dimwitted or simple-minded.

And thanks to the previous administration’s artistic deal-making, a “minor incursion” was prevented. Oh, wait.
There are valid critiques of how Obama and how Biden engaged with their support of Ukraine. We may actually agree on some of those critiques.
Considering their mishandling makes Trumps contribution worse, and all of it is being done in our name.
This is not a zero-sum game and it is bigger then the binary state of American politics. You can’t blame the current conflict on either side for Russia invading a sovereign country. So you won’t be able to “own” anything simply by claiming you are supporting the right president. Trump has shown his hand, and he is working against American interests. You really want to defend that?
Oh, wait
I most certainly can blame the current conflict on the person “who has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades”.

You shouldn’t bang on your chest that hard though….you might hurt yourself, kid.
Ken,

The boycott by Haltbakk Bunkers is not on all US flagged ships, but only US Navy ships and the assets of all US military branches. The boycott is largely symbolic and meaningless, because Haltbakk Bunkers sells very little fuel directly to any of the six branches of the US military, most of their fuel sales are indirect. Also, the Norwegian government has already guaranteed the refueling of US military assets, should there be any disruptions due to the boycott by this private company. Hopefully, the Trump-Vance Administration will play Haltbakk Bunkers game and place sanctions on the company, upper management, and owner. The United States has subsidized the social programs and lifestyles of fellow NATO-OTAN countries and their citizens for over 75 years. The time has come for fellow NATO-OTAN and EU countries to realize that they need the United States much more than the United States needs them. Do you really believe that President Zelenskyy won’t come crawling back to President Trump and the United States for more financial, humanitarian, and military aid, as well as a deal on the ownership, extraction, and sales of Ukraine’s “rare earth minerals?” President Zelenskyy has already begun attempting to clean up the mess he created. If he’s unable to repair his relationship with President Trump and the US, then he’s more than free to convince Canada and European NATO-OTAN member countries to fund his war. Maybe he can even convince the leaders of those NATO-OTAN countries to commit troops to fight off the Russians and finish off President Putin, although that’s unlikely to happen, because the NATO-OTAN Europeans are COWARDS!!!
Well the Zelensky has his security guarantees now. Yes, the fueling ban was pure grandstanding. You have a misunderstanding of what NATO membership requires though, or how Scandinavian countries have no problem strengthening their countries’ saftey networks.
If NATO is so cowardly, why did Putin feel the need to invade Ukraine?
Ken,
.
Good for President Zelenskyy and his security gaurantees.
.
You’re wrong! I understand NATO-OTAN membership just fine. Good, let’s see how long it takes for the Scandanavian countries to strengthen their security by spending an equal percentage of their GDP on their military and security as the US does. That’s right, that’ll never happen!!! If you didn’t understand, the fact that the US is part of NATO-OTAN is what President Putin fears, take the US out of the equation and you have a bunch of NATO-OTAN member countries who are COWARDS!!!
.
Why did the US engage in the internal political affairs of Ukraine, which led to hostilities between Ukraine and Russia, in the first place? While the performance of the Russian military has been pretty bad, Ukraine was never going to win this war without troops from other European countries. The outcome of the Russia-Ukraine War was known well before the war started, despite the lies peddled by US and international media.
comment meant for ken not BK
Europe spent more money buying oil from Russia than they spent on aid to Ukraine. Europe is financing Putin’s war on Ukraine.
There are VAST differences between a community organizer,

Just because zelensky was tossed out of oval office, isn’t the end of it.
ART OF THE DEAL, . . . . give it time.
At this point, Ukraine would sell itself to China just for asking.
With US walking away, China is the only country with enough clout and influence over Russia to be able to stop the war, ensure peace and finance the rebuilding of Ukraine.
Whether China will want their own fully dependent country in Europe remains to be seen, but could be a once in a lifetime opportunity handed to them.
I think you misspelled “colique”
Ukraine is a sovereign country is it not? If Ukrainians want to be under the sphere of Chinese influence isn’t that their right to make that decision?
Why is selling themselves to the US any better than selling themselves to the Chinese? Because the US is on the side of the Angles?
How did the domino theory end up working out for the US in Korea or Vietnam?

Ken,
.
Which former allies is Ukraine working with? Don’t forget that the Soviet Union was also our ally 80 years ago. So, you think “scoffing at” allies is “the end of American Exceptionalism”? That’s not even close to being true!!! Do you really believe “American Exceptionalism” means always agreeing with allies, silently standing by and accepting the abuse our “allies” have inflicted upon us, and continuing to do business with these “GOLD DIGGING ALLIES” who do the bare minimum, some won’t even do that, to be our ally in good standing, when these allies are the overwhelming beneficiaries of being allies of the United States, not the other way around?
The little weasel went straight from DC to Downing St, and it looks like he got a semi-promise from Starmer of English Boots on the Ground in Ukraine…. While on the other hand, Starmer’s main man in USA says Zelenskyy should agree to the deal with Trump.
It’s a can of worms.
On another matter. The ONE company who refuses to refuel our ships in Norway…? NORWAY says they are a close partner with USA and have other means of supply. They made sure our subs and ships won’t go dry.

President Donald Trump selected Navy veteran Hung Cao to serve as the Department of the Navy’s number two civilian.
“As a refugee to our Great Nation, Hung worked tirelessly to make proud the Country that gave his family a home,” Trump wrote in the Thursday evening post.
“He went to our amazing United States Naval Academy, and later earned his Master’s Degree in Physics. Hung served in combat as a Special Operations Officer for twenty five years. With Hung’s experience both in combat, and in the Pentagon, he will get the job done.”

How about our current president, his tariffs, and their impact on our economy, specifically the stock market today?
But hey, it is Biden’s fault…
Throwing spitballs but never responding to the questions raised. Way to go Teach!
buy American..its simple.
1440 days of destruction VS 42 days of trying to fix it.You’re a teacher?…yea,you are.
Judging what’s going with the countries economy, from what’s been happening in just the recent past?
Someone doesn’t know much about the countries economy and economics.
You were supposed to correct my bad math by the way,teacher.It’s 1460 days of destruction.

It’s 1,461 days.
i never believed in 1/4 days
Teacher is right!
We should let other countries continue to allow the Fentanyl to flow freely into our nation & permit them to take advantage of us in trade deals too… it’s for our own good!
Spent all those taxpayer dollars going after Trump.
In DC, without a security clearance, job prospects are very slim.
Many security clearances have been revoked in past month.
Simple and elegant, and saves taxpayer dollars.

The Senators are supposed to be representing their constituents!
I suppose all the Democrats who post here must want men in women’s sports….. I don’t see anyone objecting.
It’s either that or they are too timid or they just don’t care about women’s rights.
National polling claims there is only 18% support for it.
Dr. Jellyfinger,
.
They are representing their constituents, but only their constituents who think just as they do.
.
Honestly, that also sounds just like the Concord City Council when they’re selecting Concord residents for city boards, commissions, and committees, as they only select those who think as they do, they don’t want any diversity of thought, only diversity of race and sex. Diversity of thought is unwanted and unacceptable!!!
Well…. the party of Women’s Rights does not seem to give a damn.
Even though nearly 80% of Americans agree men don’t belong in women’s sports.
Not a single vote…. no comments either!
Sorry girls!

A tactic was born back in 1969 when national park service faced budget cuts.
Director of national park service ordered Washington Monument and Grand Canyon closed for two days. Done to cause restoration of funds. Tactic has been used several times over the years since. Name given to the tactic, Washington Monument Syndrome. They’re trying to scare SS recipients into calling their members in congress in a panic.

Democrats are planning to disrupt Trump’s speech tonight.
Should be an epic clown show complete with props & party noise makers.

If democrats disrupt State of the Union address, shows absolute disrespect for our country and the Presidency. Then again maturity has long been lacking, thanks to leadership of pelosi “The Shredder“
I think Hakeem Jeffries walked the aisles with a basket & confiscated all the slide whistles, air horns and duck calls before the speech started…. but everyone of the Dem’s had a ping pong paddle sign.
They should sit on floor and have a temper tantrum, again.
That would fit them perfectly.
The only question to ask Zelenskyy is this:
Do you want to do business with Klobuchar or the President, what’ll it be?
During President Trump’s speech, a tight shot of pelosi filled the screen,
was absolutely priceless. Too bad no one thought to give her
a ream of paper to tear in half.
This one was a scream…

I am so happy that the Geico Caveman has found a side hustle as a US Representative from Houston. I just wish Mr. Gecko had taught him some British manners.
Cavemen should not speak up out of turn while waving their canes at POTUS.

Keep throwing temper tantrums democrats.

Has anyone seen Joe Biden? Not a peep nor a picture of #46 since the inauguration. Not that anyone wants to see or hear from him, but where is he? Rumor is that he was hanging with Hillary….
Might be time for a welfare check.
No, Joe’s still got all that influence peddling money…… but Hunter is going broke…. he’d like to get a real welfare check.
“Hunter said he’s shocked — shocked — that interest in his art work has evaporated when his dad’s political fortunes turned” LoL! as if he didn’t know why people bought his garbage.
Look at the bright side Bidenboy…. it might go up in value after you’re dead.
