Trump takes on censorship

Original Article

President-elect Donald Trump isn’t messing around. His first major policy statement since his landslide victory outlines his plan to restore free speech. This fundamental right has been diluted by federal officials who have worked closely with tech executives to suppress views they do not like. “If we don’t have free speech, then we just don’t have a free country. It’s a simple as that,” Mr. Trump explained in a video last week. Documents uncovered through lawsuits and released by X owner Elon Musk reveal how agencies such as the FBI, Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security worked closely with social media platforms such as Twitter, YouTube and Facebook to

Please stop the psyop operations against the American people. We know its lies, and are tired of listening, and paying for it. Congress should be whipped for allowing anything in the budget to pay for this.

This morning, Charlie Kirk from MarALago reiterated to War Room Posse that UNTIL President Trump himself announces it, all these potential nominees are rumors and press tidbits. I note GOP establishment press organs and NYT are ones acting like Rubio is confirmed. Nope!

Many/most 3 letter agencies need to be shuttered. When you constantly need to justify your existence, you WILL keep finding "bad guys" and "threats to democracy".

The first amendment was my number 2 reason to vote for DJT. Number 1 was Kackkkles and Timmy Tampon are idiots. They would also have trashed the filibuster, the electoral college and packed the Supreme Court. Not to mention the immigration nightmare.

The Wall Street Journal has consistently criticized Trump’s economic policies, particularly his ongoing “trade war” with Canada, over the past several weeks. And certainly, the tensions are regrettable. Trump’s trolling of the insufferable Justin Trudeau, with talk of Canada becoming the “51st state,” perhaps only galvanized the Canadian left. It unfortunately may ensure that the only real hope for a Canadian return to normality, the election of Pierre Poilievre, may be lost.

A few years ago, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen declared that the EU wanted to "take a more active role in the Indo-Pacific." Now, the future of that commitment is in doubt as Europe is set to undergo a once-in-a-generation rearmament drive. The United States under President Donald Trump has mused out loud about rolling back security guarantees, potentially leaving European states to shoulder the burden of an uncertain ceasefire in Ukraine and, eventually, other conflicts sparked by Russian President Vladimir Putin. "We are in an era of rearmament," von der Leyen said on March 4, as the Commission launched the "ReArm Europe" program, which aims to mobilize around €800 billion

The first seven weeks of President Donald Trump‘s second presidency have been as frantic and unpredictable as any term we’ve seen. The perpetual pace, driven by Trump taking questions from reporters on an almost daily basis, has kept Democrats scrambling to coalesce around messages attacking the president’s agenda. Frustrated and helpless, Democrats are being led by raw emotion to oppose Trump reflexively at every turn, including when the party is on the wrong side of every 80/20 matter.

How bad was the defeat Senate Democrat leader Chuck Schumer suffered in the spending bill battle? So bad that the left-wing media can’t even spin it as a victory. “Schumer, Facing Backlash From Democrats, Says He’ll Take ‘the Bullets,’ ” one New York Times headline reads. “[Alexandria] Ocasio-Cortez [below, near right] Lashes Out at Schumer Over His Support for G.O.P. Measure,” says another. Axios reports that “House Dems go into ‘complete meltdown’ as Schumer folds.” President Trump’s march through the Washington swamp is producing enormous changes each day, and we can add to the list his reversal of the usual dynamic of shutdown politics.

Recently, a video circulated of former Vice President Kamala Harris engaging in her trademark word salad during an appearance at an AI conference in Las Vegas. Harris was saying something about nacho cheese Doritos, but beyond that, the point was not clear. The most striking effect of the video was to see and hear Harris again after her virtual disappearance from the public scene in the last 4 1/2 months. During the presidential campaign, we saw and heard her every day, and these days … mostly nothing.

Donald Trump has threatened all sorts of trade sanctions on Mexico at 25% tariff, but why is he doing this? And I think the answer is there's four things that Mexico knows it has been doing to us with impunity, especially under Joe Biden, that are not sustainable. The first, it used to run under NAFTA, 10 to $20 billion trade surplus. Then it went to 40, then it went to 50. And then during Donald Trump's first term, he renegotiated it, it kind of stayed static. Now it's over $175 billion, but get this, it's mostly due to China evading tariffs on China by sending raw product materials to Mexico

With the majority of votes counted, the opposition Demokraatit Party is considered the winner of Greenland's election, receiving nearly 30% of the votes. The world took unusual notice of Tuesday's parliamentary election after US President Donald Trump said he wanted to take control of the Arctic island. The Demokraatit Party, which favors a slow approach to independence from Denmark but not US control, won 29.9% of the votes with over 90% of ballots counted.

Truly, God has blessed us with the greatest foes. And by “greatest,” I mean the most comically inept and hilariously grotesque. Forget owning the libs—this bunch has perfected the self-own. Forget calling them out—they’re calling each other out, running as fast as they can away from their own party. They’re flailing around, stepping on rakes they dropped and getting smashed in the face. They are walking into the traps they devised. We are truly watching an incredible, once-in-a-lifetime spectacle, breathtaking in its scope.

“What the f— are we doing here?” asked President Trump in the summer of 2017. Nearly a year into his first term, Trump’s national security adviser had just proposed sending an additional 3,000 to 5,000 troops to Afghanistan, prompting his boss’s frustration that his Cabinet still hadn’t gotten the message. Trump had repeatedly conveyed that he wanted to end the war in Afghanistan, not prolong it. Between 2012 and 2013, Trump tweeted about the loss of lives, waste of taxpayer dollars, and apparent absence of a strategy to get any value from our investment in the country. “Afghanistan is a total disaster,” Trump said in 2012.

Former Clinton strategist James Carville has reinvented himself at age 80 as a sage Democrat podcaster. His predictions—remember, a victorious Kamala Harris?—are usually wrong. He enjoys engaging in public duels with celebrities to gain online clicks and media appearances. Yet sometimes he appears judicious in his effort to return his party to the Clinton glory days of 1992-2000, before the takeover of the party by the lunatic left. That said, he too has become part of the new left nihilism he supposedly despises. Most recently, Dr. Carville diagnosed Donald Trump as suffering from tertiary syphilis. Carville’s “proof” was his identification of a bruise on Trump’s much-used shaking han

It’s only March, and we have yet another declaration of a “constitutional crisis.” The latest dire declaration comes from roughly 950 law professors, who refer generally to actions and policies implemented by President Trump as “beyond his constitutional or statutory authority.” So — what happens if the “experts” hold a crisis and no one shows up? After years of such claims, the perpetual crisis has left a dwindling number of people inclined to panic. Many simply have more pressing matters at the moment and have the same reaction of former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger: “There cannot be a crisis next week. My schedule is already full.”

Donald Trump proved himself more than worthy of my vote tonight. For a man who was hunted, framed, falsely accused, spied on, impeached twice, indicted four times, convicted of a “felony,” almost assassinated twice, he stared down the Democrats and gave maybe the best speech of his entire political career. The Democrats did significant damage to their brand, although by now, I’m not sure there is anything left of their brand. What do they even stand for anymore? Certainly not for the kid with multiple surgeries on his brain given an honorary appointment to the Secret Service. They sat there, stone-faced and entitled, and looked like petulant little brats i

It will not come as a surprise to CTH readers to hear the name Judge James Boasberg associated with efforts to protect the institutional interests of a corrupt DC deep state. Boasberg has a long, very long, and well documented history of protecting the DC apparatus {CTH Archives on Boasberg HERE}. On Saturday, without giving the Trump administration any time to respond, Judge Boasberg issued an immediate temporary restraining order (TRO) blocking DHS,(snip) and ICE from deporting illegal aliens and narcotrafficking gang members belonging to Tren de Aragua (TdA), a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization. Boasberg ordered the flights of criminal gang members to turn around and immediately

Sacré bleu! Talk about a Napoleon complex. Some stories don’t require a lengthy set-up. They speak for themselves (and today, they’re parlez-vous-ing exclusively in French): France should take back the Statue of Liberty because the US no longer represents the values that led France to offer the statue, a French Euro-deputy said Sunday. "Give us back the Statue of Liberty", centre-left politician Raphael Glucksmann said at a convention of his Place Publique centre-left movement. "We're going to say to the Americans who have chosen to side with the tyrants, to the Americans who fired researchers for demanding scientific freedom: 'Give us back the Statue of Liberty,'" he told cheering supporters.

US District judge James Boasberg quickly ordered the Trump administration to halt all removals after the commander in chief signed off on a presidential action invoking the 1798 law – aimed at targeting Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua, The Washington Post reported. The chief judge in the District of Columbia said he heard that “flights are actively departing”

A court ordered Starbucks on Friday to pay $50 million in damages to a delivery driver who was severely burned by spilled beverages, CNN reported. The jury in California sided with Michael Garcia, who was picking up drinks in a drive-through in Los Angeles when he was handed beverages with improperly secured lids. According to the lawsuit filed in the California Superior Court in 2020, he “suffered severe burns, disfigurement, and debilitating nerve damage to his genitals when hot drinks ultimately spilled” on his lap. The lawsuit ultimately accused the coffee chain of breaching its duty of care by not securing the lids, according to the report.

As we’ve been reporting, President Trump invoked the 1798 Alien Enemies Act against members of the violent Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang and promptly put over 200 of them on a plane to be taken to El Salvador. While the flight was still in the air, Chief U.S. District Judge James Boasberg ordered a temporary restraining order preventing the deportation of any Venezuelans—and he also demanded that the plane turn around and return the gangsters to the U.S. (Attorney General Pam Bondi has already appealed the ruling.) The Trump administration ignored the order, however, and the gangbangers were unloaded Sunday

Do We Have 677 Unelected Presidents? 21 replies

There are almost 700 federal district court judges. I say “almost,” because while officially there are 677 of them, some retired judges have taken senior status and may sit from time to time on cases, so the figure is inexact on any given day. Since President Trump was sworn in for a second term, there have been an avalanche of cases seeking relief from executive actions. Last month alone district court judges issued 15 temporary restraining orders. “That’s more nationwide injunctions than there were issued for the first three YEARS of the Biden Administration. District court judges are out of control.“
