Kelly stepped in it himself.  He couldn’t help it.  He has to deal with the consequences.  
Powell played politics.  He lowered interest rates in 2024 right before the election to help the Democratic candidate.  He won’t lower them now when he should.  So, yes, Powell has been a disaster.  That’s why he’ll be gone!  

What did Kelly do?

C for Biden

Factor not being mentioned in the files over 1000+  times, no convictions,  he did no prophet from his presidency through his business, with estimates suggesting Trump and his  family have secured $4 billion or more during his time in office that have come from foreign government, and international business deals. He also did not side with Putin over his own intelligence agency.  He has not attempted to rebrandish several high profile U.S. landmarks, federal sited and infrastructure projects with his name. Just to name a small fraction. Lastly, no heath plan and he promised not to touch medicare. Epstein will be his self inflicted down fall.

So you’re grading biden based on what he didn’t do, as compared to Trump?

lol, it’s all about Trump, but you’re not alone.

Strictly looking at policies that are important to a POTUS core mission, I'll give him a B. (Note, the economy is actually not a core POTUS function.)

• Border Security
• National Security (Flew under the radar, but put enough pressure on Panama that the Panamanian Govt. took the Panama Canal away from China last week. VERY big deal.)
• Bringing key needs (pharma, chipmakers, rare earth mineral development) back to the U.S.
• Deregulation

My grade will definitely drop if we enter a prolonged conflict in the Middle East.

I didn't vote for the man. He can also do some really idiotic stuff, and I don't care for him as a man--from what I can see/hear/watch. But, strictly based on policy, there's no debate between him and the Democrats. There are no moderate Democrats left. If they say they are, they're either lying, or they have no real input anyway. The Socialists run the Democratic Party now. I want less government--not more.

I really wish an independent, or libertarian candidate could get some traction. But, getting them on the ballot in all 50 States, getting them access to all the Intelligence and other reports/updates the 2 major Party candidates receive, equal funding & debate time is blocked by both major Parties as of now.

If you were to put a ticket together who would be at the top and who would be the running mate? Just curious.

Same question to all!
