Something is happening with Princes Kate, Prince William’s wife and future Queen. I’m thinking its an affair or cancer and I am leaning towards affair.

I'm feeling a bit of 'a lull' or a slow news week or even slow news year so far 2024. Some days I hope for a stock market decline worldwide, just because I feel like the last recession generated news stories for months on end, even for a year or two lol. Never ending news stories about stimulus, the economy, the market, endless lol news. 2008 and even 2020. Lol. "Market forces" what a wonderful overused phrase, I love it 💕😘

How Trump Is Killing Off the ‘Reagan Republican’ in Congress

Less than a decade ago, all but a few Republicans in Congress would have taken the title of “Reagan Republican” as a badge of honor.

The 40th president’s “peace through strength” mantra guided decades of GOP philosophy on foreign affairs, with generations of Republicans emulating Ronald Reagan’s vision for modernizing the military and investing in alliances abroad.

But these days, as the GOP remakes itself in the image of Donald Trump, the moniker of “Reagan Republican” is no longer the proud distinction it once was.

It’s more like a MAGA epithet.

For over a year now, Congress has struggled to pass new aid for Ukraine, the war-torn nation dismantling the military of one of the United States’ most hostile enemies. Israel, long considered one of the U. S.’s most important allies, hasn’t received congressionally approved aid in the wake of Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack either. And Taiwan, staring down surging Chinese aggression, is also waiting on help from Congress.

Not lending a hand to these countries would have once been unthinkable to Reagan’s party. But the growing sect of “America First” Republicans are actively standing in the way. And as that faction stalls aid and U. S. allies suffer, Democrats and the dwindling camp of more hawkish Republicans are watching in disbelief.

“It’s not my father’s Republican Party,” said Rep. Mike Quigley (D-IL)—the co-chair of the Congressional Ukraine Caucus. “My father’s Republican Party was pro-trade, pro-military, and pro-business.”
