Newly inaugurated President Donald Trump told his deputies on Monday to draft rules to deny taxpayer funds to so-called “sanctuary” cities and NGOs — Non-Governmental Organizations — that support illegal migrants. Among his long list of executive orders (EOs) was one entitled “Protecting the American People Against Invasion,” aimed squarely at sanctuary jurisdictions. In section 17 of this EO, for instance, Trump sent a shot over the bow of “sanctuary jurisdictions” to warn them that they had better not interfere with legal federal law enforcement actions or risk losing federal dollars. “The Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland Security shall, to the maximum extent possible under law,

Not one federal dime ought to be available to any place that does not obey federal law on this issue. No exceptions. Not for anything at all. Let the whining start, and let the voters know they chose the path they're on. Money for stuff they want and need versus the collapse of law and civilization. Go on, California, make my day.

What is to complain about? The federal government has routinely conditioned all sorts of subsidies upon compliance with environmental, education, law enforcement, and local highway construction wage policies, to name but a few.

I do not understand why these blue cities and states want all these people to take care of. Their tax dollars are being spend on illegals in this country as if the taxpaying citizens don't have needs for that money. Crime and drug deaths are up in all of those places too. Already many lawsuits have been filed trying to reverse some of the Executive Orders that Trump has signed. They probably can get the "Dreamers" EO reversed but I hope the courts will uphold those pertaining to getting illegals out of this country, doing away with DEI, closing our borders, and whatever stops so much of this "woke" nonsense. The Dems are having fits about the Pardons too, which makes no sense. Some of those people Trump pardoned have been in jail for 4 years with no trial. It is okay for Biden to pardon his law-breaking son, his family members, Fauci, Miley, the J6 bunch (including Liz Cheney), etc. He also commuted the sentences of everyone on Death Row except for three people. Biden ought to be in jail for all of that. He hasn't been in his right mind for so long that I hope the courts will reverse some of the EO's he has signed in the past couple of months that were expressly to prevent Trump from carrying out his agenda, but I'm not counting on it.

Lefty Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was dragged on X for “jewsplaining” to the Anti-Defamation League after the group defended Elon Musk’s “awkward gesture” that progressives insisted was a Nazi salute. Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) accused the antisemitism watchdog group of “defending a Heil Hitler salute” before arguing that the ADL “works for” President Trump and his allies. “Just to be clear, you are defending a Heil Hitler salute that was performed and repeated for emphasis and clarity,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote in response to the ADL on X. “People can officially stop listening to you as any sort of reputable source of information now.

DeSantis issued the executive order on Monday, EO number 25-13 on the weather system coming into the state. In the first sentence, DeSantis’s executive order uses the name “Gulf of America.” “WHEREAS, an area of low pressure moving across the Gulf of America, interacting with Arctic air, will bring widespread impactful winter weather to North Florida beginning Tuesday, January 21, 2025…” it begins.

Texas teen who ratted out his own father to the FBI is reeling from Donald Trump’s decision to pardon January 6th protesters. Jackson Reffitt, whose father Guy Reffitt was sentenced to over seven years in prison for his role in the protests against the 2020 presidential election, spoke to CNN after Donald Trump announced that he would be pardoning all of those involved. “I’ve taken as many precautions as I could recently,” Jackson said. “I’ve picked up a gun, I’ve moved, and I’ve gotten myself away from what I thought would be a dangerous situation and staying where I thought my dad could find me or other people.”

Users of the leftist social media platform Bluesky went into meltdown after Donald Trump pardoned those involved in the January 6th protests. On Monday evening, hours after taking office, Trump confirmed that he would pardon and/or commute the sentences of the 1,600 individuals involved in the protests against the fraud that tainted the 2020 presidential election. Trump acknowledged that while most of those involved were peaceful and did not warrant any form of prosecution, even those convicted of acts of violence were persecuted and punish excessively by the Biden regime as an act of political revenge. The news did not go down well over on Bluesky,

On Monday, the Senate Armed Services Committee voted to advance Pete Hegseth’s nomination to a full senate floor vote. Senators can vote as early as Thursday to confirm Hegseth. However, an affidavit from Hegseth’s former sister-in-law, Danielle Hegseth, alleging “instances of abuse” and “mistreatment of a former spouse” involving Hegseth’s second wife, Samantha Hegseth, was submitted to senators. Samantha Hegseth responded to the allegations via email, according to NBC News:

Based on what Stefanik told senators Tuesday morning, Turtle Bay better brace for the fired-up New York congresswoman, if she is confirmed. As the U.S. ambassador, Stefanik said she would significantly reform the UN from within. Among the much-needed changes she'll implement, Stefanik promises to conduct a comprehensive budgetary assessment of certain UN subagencies and ensure that "every dollar goes to supporting our American interests."

All of Joe Biden's preemptive pardons for the worst political malefactors in recent years are an insult to the rule of law, but one in particular sticks in my craw: Mark Milley. Why? I expect bureaucrats like Anthony Fauci to be ass-covering snakes with a lust for power and disdain for accountability, and I am confident that he will burn in hell and be remembered as the mass murderer that he is. I expect politicians like Liz Cheney, Adam Schiff, and the sc*mbags of the January 6th Committee to be liars who would sacrifice their souls for an extra minute on TV and an additional campaign dollar.

President Donald Trump was left in disbelief as he was forced to listen to a woke bishop deliver a stunningly negative sermon calling for him to show 'mercy' to illegal immigrants and transgender children. On the first full day of Trump's presidency Marianne Budde, the left-wing Episcopal Bishop of Washington, unleashed a wild lecture claiming trans kids were 'fearing for their lives' due to him being in the Oval Office. Trump sat stony-faced in the front row, next to First Lady Melania Trump, as the prelate told him illegal immigrants were not criminals and he shouldn't deport those with children.

One of Donald Trump’s first acts as president was to commute the sentences of or pardon nearly every single Jan. 6 prisoner, setting them all free. But multiple prisons and halfway houses have resisted complying, with the D.C. gulag holding multiple prisoners hostage and refusing to release them. Trump’s historic order commuted the sentences of about a dozen individuals and pardoned “all individuals convicted of offenses related to event that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.” It ordered that those “currently held in prison are released immediately.” But the thugs who have so abused and trampled the rights of the J6ers

The Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington gave an insultingly political speech that excoriated President Trump for...being President Trump, basically. Episcopal Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde took the opportunity to slam President Trump at the National Prayer Service, where he sat among many of the nation's leaders. The idea of the Prayer Service is to unify the attendees and remind them that we are all one nation under God. It was appalling in every way, no doubt coming from a leftist who speaks endlessly about love, compassion, and unity. She implied that Trump was an enemy of gay and lesbian people, criticized him for wanting to deport

Abbate, who had served as deputy director before taking the helm, left behind a bureau at the center of political controversy, leaving many to wonder about the potential implications for the agency under the incoming administration.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) late Monday launched a suit challenging an executive order from President Trump seeking to end birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to parents who are not lawfully present. It’s an order that contradicts the Constitution, which bestows citizenship on anyone born in the United State regardless of the status of their parents. “Denying citizenship to U.S.-born children is not only unconstitutional — it’s also a reckless and ruthless repudiation of American values. Birthright citizenship is part of what makes the United States the strong and dynamic nation that it is.

DAVOS, Switzerland - German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on Tuesday he does not support freedom of speech when it is used for extreme-right views, a day after a hand gesture by U.S. billionaire Elon Musk caused uproar during Donald Trump's inauguration festivities. "We have the freedom of speech in Europe and in Germany. Everyone can say what he wants, even if he is a billionaire. And what we do not accept is if this is supporting extreme-right positions," Scholz said in Davos when asked about the incident. Musk's hand gesture during a celebration of President Trump's inauguration drew online comparisons to a Nazi salute. Musk dismissed the criticism as a "tired" attack.
