President-elect Donald Trump has big plans to deliver on his campaign pledge to secure the southern border, pledging to issue a flurry of executive actions on day one of his presidency to stem the massive flow of illegal immigrants into the U.S. But questions remain about when and how Trump plans to deliver on his fresh pledge to protect the so-called “Dreamers” – a term for immigrants who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children and do not have a path to citizenship. “The Dreamers are going to come later, and we have to do something about the Dreamers because these are people

Hopefully Trump gets what he wants before the Dems do. They have a history of reneging on their side of the deal.

I hope not. An illegal alien is an illegal alien, no matter what sort of silly crap the Dems write about them. Send them all home. If they want to immigrate, start the legal process from OUTSIDE the USA.

As Welker herself said, many of these so called "Dreamers" are now middle aged adults. Since they are no longer children, why do they still need special protections? If they really want to stay in the USA, why haven't they taken actions themselves to secure legal status? THey aren't helpless little kids. THey are adults. They are fully capable of applying for a green card of other type of legal status. TIme for their free ride to end. STOP TREATING ADULTS LIKE CHILDREN!

Chances are if Trump does do something to protect the current “Dreamer” population the leftist and progressive Democrats and some RINOS will in turn demand that all the unaccompanied illegal alien children who gained unlawful entry to the country before and during the Biden-Harris era be designated as the next “Dreamer” population to be also protected which would mean a million or so new “Dreamers” would be created. What should happen is that all unaccompanied illegal aliens found in the USA while under 18 years of age should immediately be turned over to the diplomatic representatives in the USA of the illegal alien’s home country, to be detained in secure facilities that are under the control the children’s home country government, until the children can be quickly and safely removed from the USA to their home countries, to be reunited with their parents and their families.

Biden Admin Withdraws Proposed Title IX
Sports Rule Change

The Biden Administration quietly withdrew a proposed rule change to Title IX that would have clarified the eligibility of transgender athletes in school sports. The rule, which had sparked significant debate, was intended to ensure that schools could adopt policies on transgender participation while balancing fairness in women's sports. The Department of Education released a docket on Friday claiming that the initial intent of the Biden Administration’s proposal was to "propose a regulatory standard under Title IX that would govern a recipient’s adoption or application of sex-related criteria that would limit or deny a student’s eligibility to participate on a male or female athletic team consistent with their gender identity.”

At least two people are dead and dozens are injured after a car plowed into a crowd at a Christmas market in the German city of Magdeburg, according to local authorities. At least 68 people were injured in the Magdeburg Christmas market attack, including 15 people with serious injuries, according to a statement posted on the city of Magdeburg’s Facebook page. An adult and toddler were killed in the attack and the suspected driver has been arrested, the regional Prime Minister of Saxony-Anhalt, Reiner Haseloff, said in a televised statement.

America’s greatest presidents were sometimes treated like punching bags in office — insulted and vilified by opponents. President Biden has endured the same undeserved treatment. But I expect that, like other great presidents, history will judge him more accurately. Biden has been a historically transformative president. His landmark domestic accomplishments are comparable to Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal and Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society. A 2023 survey of 154 political scientists and other presidential experts ranked Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Roosevelt and George Washington as America’s three greatest presidents, in that order. Biden ranked No. 14. Donald Trump, who will become president again

In an epic exchange on CNN, Senior Political Commentator Scott Jennings delivered a brutal reality check to Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) and the Democrats, cutting through their rhetoric with precision. The moment came after Jayapal launched into a tirade blaming Elon Musk and Donald Trump for the looming government shutdown. “We already had a bill,” she said. “We negotiated it. Mike Johnson agreed to it. And because, as you said, Elon Musk, a billionaire, tweeted about it — President Musk tweeted about it — these Republicans tried to go around their own caucus, all the work that's been done, and they are in charge of shutting down the government.

President Joe Biden is transferring more student loan debt onto American taxpayers with only weeks left until he departs the Oval Office. The Biden administration announced Friday that it is giving $4.28 billion of student debt relief to almost 55,000 more public service workers including teachers, nurses, and law enforcement officials. “From Day One of my Administration, I promised to make sure that higher education is a ticket to the middle class, not a barrier to opportunity,” Biden said in a statement. “Because of our actions, millions of people across the country now have the breathing room

Americans used to be afraid of government shutdowns, and a few still are. Ever worried about catching flak, it's almost a given that they bend the knee to Democrats and give them what they want. This is a hangover from the Clinton years when Bill Clinton could look into the camera with his scolding eyes and blame Republicans for every bad thing, and people bought the spin because the Pravda Media kept repeating it. Republicans learned a lesson, but the wrong one. What they should have figured out is that the Democrats and the media would attack them no matter what, so they should just go

House lawmakers from both sides of the aisle joined together to reject Speaker Mike Johnson’s latest stopgap funding package Thursday night, with one day to spare before a partial government shutdown is set to begin. The House voted 174-235 against the package under suspension of the rules, which requires two-thirds support from those present and voting for passage. Thirty-eight Republicans bucked leadership and President-elect Donald Trump, a staunch proponent of the revised bill. Going to the Rules Committee to report out a rule for floor debate that could be adopted on a simple majority had been GOP leaders’ next move. But leadership quickly put the kibosh

Far-right influencer Nick Fuentes said his home was among those targeted by a man suspected in a triple homicide who was fatally shot by suburban Chicago police late Wednesday night following a home invasion. The situation started around 9:40 p.m. Wednesday in downstate Illinois, just outside of Champaign, where police said a triple homicide took place. According to Illinois State Police, three people were killed in the 1100 block of Riverside Drive in Mahomet. All three were shot, with one pronounced dead at the scene and two others dying at area hospitals. Roughly two hours later,

Call yourself whatever you like. Sleep with any consenting adult who’ll have you. Live your best life in peace and security. But force women out of their jobs for stating that sex is real?”

An appellate court removed Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis (D) from the racketeering case against President-elect Donald Trump over her romantic relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade. Georgia’s court of appeals ruled Thursday that Willis will be removed from the case because of the appearance of misconduct surrounding her relationship with Wade, but did not throw out the case all together. “While we recognize that an appearance of impropriety is generally not enough to support disqualification, this is the rare case in which disqualification is mandated and no other remedy will suffice to restore public confidence in the integrity of these proceedings,” the three judge panel ruled.

The Federal Aviation Administration has temporarily banned drone operations over parts of New Jersey until mid-January and warned that the government may respond with “deadly force” against drones that pose a threat. Beginning on Wednesday and through Jan. 17, unmanned aircraft are barred from flying within a nautical mile of specified airspace outlined in an FAA Notice to Airmen, or NOTAM. The government may use “deadly force” against the drones if they present an “imminent security threat,” the NOTAM said. The temporary flight restrictions have been implemented over a large and significantly populated area of New Jersey, including: Jersey City, Bayonne, Elizabeth, Harrison, Kearny, Edison,

The White House tried to hide from the public Joe Biden's rapidly diminishing mental condition for his entire presidency, according to a bombshell report. Biden's team hired a vocal coach, put other officials into roles usually occupied by the president, scrapped meetings on his 'bad days,' and avoided calls with other politicians, according to an explosive report in The Wall Street Journal. It exposed an extensive, deliberate and years-long cover-up that also saw the administration gaslighting those who dared to claim Biden's abilities had deteriorated since he was Barack Obama's vice president.

The NYPD’s highest-paid employee — who shoveled in more than $400,000 last year — filed for retirement this week and then was suspended amid an internal affairs probe into her astronomical overtime, The Post has learned. Lt. Quathisha Epps will retire just shy of 20 years with the department, sources said — an early exit that will impact her pension and cost her a $12,000-a-year supplement for cops who reach the two-decade mark. Leaving money on the table is seemingly uncharacteristic for Epps, who raised eyebrows by pulling in roughly $204,000 in overtime last year for her administrative job in NYPD Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey’s office, payroll records show.

Former CNN political analyst Chris Cillizza expressed remorse Thursday for not investigating concerns about President Joe Biden’s mental and physical health sooner.

MSNBC’s Joy Reid and Stephanie Ruhle will reportedly need to take a pay cut if they want to remain in their anchor chairs as the struggling cable network continues to cut costs.

The Wall Street Journal has an article delving into the efforts to cover up Biden’s mental state. But the article raises as many questions as it answers. I won’t dwell on the umpteenth revelations that Biden had bad days, that he had trouble remembering lines or figuring out where he was supposed to go. While preparing last year for his interview with Robert K. Hur, the special counsel who investigated Biden’s handling of classified documents, the president couldn’t recall lines that his team discussed with him. At events, aides often repeated instructions to him, such as where to enter or exit a stage, that would be obvious to the average person…

Do people on the radical left demonstrate a mental disorder? Most people on the right roll their eyes at the hysteria and fears of the left, but what’s to be done? Given that there were major shifts on the left in the 2024 election, is it possible that somehow sanity is breaking through? With the ongoing polarization that has burdened this country, it’s worthwhile to examine the psychological framework of leftists; both how they see themselves and how they see others. The results may also indicate whether the changes in voting behavior might continue, or whether they were situational. A phrase that’s been coined is “Left-Wing Authoritarianism” (LWA)
