Wadi Gaza, Gaza Strip — President Donald Trump has invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House next week as the first foreign leader to visit in Trump’s second term, Netanhayu and the White House said Tuesday.
The announcement came as the United States pressures Israel and Hamas to continue a ceasefire that has paused a devastating 15-month war in Gaza. Talks about the ceasefire’s more difficult second phase, which aims to end the war, begin next Monday.
The White House letter shared by Netanyahu’s office, dated Tuesday, said “I look forward to discussing how we can
In "Mere Christianity," C.S. Lewis spoke of progress, noting, “If you are on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; and in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive man.” I doubt President Donald Trump would ever describe himself as a “progressive,” but by Lewis’s definition, he is leading the nation in the progressive direction back to the right road on the critical issue of gender identity.
Trump’s executive order on gender identity is an about-turn for the federal government. The order reaffirms the simple truth that there are two sexes—male and female—and that there are good and
It is safe to say that Joe Rogan is a big fan of Vice President JD Vance.
During a recent episode of his podcast, Rogan praised Vance’s performance in his interview with CBS News hack Margaret Brennan, in which she repeatedly and smugly tried to hurl gotcha questions at him.
It’s amazing that Brennan was even allowed to do this interview, given her performance in the VP debate before the election.

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) on Monday pushed an anonymous smear about Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director nominee Kash Patel just days ahead of his confirmation hearing on Thursday.
Durbin, in a letter sent to Trump administration officials dated January 27, 2025, said he received “highly credible information” that Patel “broke protocol” regarding hostage rescues when he commented to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) “without authorization” about a successful hostage rescue during the first Trump administration in October 2020. Durbin claimed the rescue of two Americans who had been held captive by Iranian-backed Houthi militants was still in progress
In his second inaugural address, President Donald Trump declared that the “weaponization of our Justice Department and our government will end” and that he would “re-balance” the scales of justice. He now faces an important decision: whether to investigate the founders of the lawfare campaigns against him... [Snip] Turning lawfare on its creators is not about revenge. [Snip] Justice requires a thorough investigation. Obtaining phone records and emails, reviewing White House logs, and putting witnesses under oath before Congress or a grand jury...the Justice Department should defend the constitutional rights of candidate Trump and his voters against those who abused the criminal justice system to win an election.
Five “career criminals” with a laundry list of alarming offenses were nabbed on the first day the Trump administration’s national crackdown on illegal immigrants reached New York City, The Post has learned.
In Queens, a Mexican national with a previous arrest for attempted murder was bagged, while a Mexican previously charged with three counts of rape and sexual assault was captured in the Bronx, according to law enforcement sources.
And in upper Manhattan, a Dominican national wanted for a double murder in their home country was also taken into custody. (Photos)
Those were just a few of the suspects arrested by the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEI) Monday, while officials from
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) have identified a planned $50 million allocation by the previous Biden administration intended for condom distribution in Gaza.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt criticized this expenditure as a “preposterous waste of taxpayer money.”
“DOGE and OMB have actually found that there was $37 million that was about to go out the door to the World Health Organization, which is an organization, as you all know, that President Trump, with the swipe of his pen in that executive order, no longer wants the United States to be a part of.
President Trump’s brilliant Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, Stephen Miller, schooled CNN host Jake Tapper over Trump’s immigration policies.
The Trump Administration began its immigration raids and deportation operations on day one of Trump 2.0 last week.
As of Tuesday, ICE has arrested more than 3,500 illegal aliens since Trump was sworn into office last week.
Jake Tapper tried to get Stephen Miller with a gotcha question on the whole “who’s going to pick the crops” argument but he ended up getting schooled.

in Florida, inching House GOP toward 220-seat majority replies
House Republicans are one step closer to a full majority with the Florida primary wins of Jimmy Patronis and Randy Fine to fill the seats of former Reps. Matt Gaetz and Mike Waltz.
Both men were backed by President Donald Trump. The Associated Press called the primary for Fine, a state senator, receiving over 80% of the vote. "G-d saved [Donald Trump’s] life so he could save the world. And tonight, both of them, powered by my amazing family and all of you who voted for me, put me one step closer to being able to help him do that. I swear I won’t let any of you down,”
A male inmate who claims to be transgender filed a lawsuit Sunday against President Donald Trump, alleging that his constitutional rights have been violated after he was removed from a women’s prison in the wake of an executive order. The inmate, Maria Moe, who was housed at a female prison, alleges the order violates the Constitution and federal law because it “directly targets transgender Americans by attempting to deny them legal recognition under federal law and to strip them of long-established legal protections” and will deny transgender inmates “medically necessary healthcare,” according to the lawsuit. Trump signed the order,...
Republican Congressman Andy Biggs has officially entered the 2026 Arizona governor’s race. Biggs, who signaled his interest in running for governor last week, made the announcement at the Republican Party of Arizona’s annual meeting on Saturday. “We should be the reddest state in the country,” Biggs said. “We should control our border; we should get better education; we should get water infrastructure in place.
Biggs added, “We could be — Arizona could be the Florida of the West.” Biggs, who has served in Congress since 2017 after spending over a decade at the Arizona Legislature, is a past chairman of the far-right House Freedom Caucus.
Joe Biden's use of U.S. taxpayer money to fund transgender operas in Colombia and transgender comic books in Peru will be totally undone by Trump, a top Republican told DailyMail.com.
House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast (R-Fla.) has a laundry list of Biden-era State Department programs that are on the chopping block now that Trump is in the White House.
After a bombshell report came out this week unveiling how Biden's State Department doled out $15 million worth of taxpayer funds to buy contraceptives like condoms for the Taliban, DailyMail.com asked Mast what other eye-popping programs exist.

The landslide election win by Donald Trump has left the Democrat Party, the Deep State, the legacy media, and the rest of the Marxist/Progressive establishment in a state of shock and surprise at the depth of the American electorate’s rejection of their statist ideology and attempts to transform the culture and society.
Uncharacteristically, this cabal was stunned into relative silence after the election, as they have been unable to process the reality that even with unprecedented levels of voting fraud and manipulation in recent presidential and midterm elections, they will never achieve what they believe is their birthright of permanent control over the levers of power.
Leaked Audio: Les Beard, a Tucson high school physics teacher defied Trump’s executive order and misled his students by teaching there are more than two genders.

I was watching the local NBC station on Sunday, waiting for Meet the Press to start – I know, who wakes up on Sunday morning just to punch themselves in the face repeatedly? I do. I like to know what the other side is up to – it’s like a vacation to another planet without being stuck in a small capsule with people who will undoubtedly smell bad. Although, these people on TV undoubtedly smell. The show that was one featured Willie Geist – and yes, you could see the stink lines coming off of him, by only metaphorically from his soul.

Bernie Sanders Wants U.S. to Adopt Denmark’s
Highly-Taxed System replies
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) apparently wants America to mimic Denmark’s financial system in a pivot that would further burden taxpayers.
In a recent social media post, Sanders suggested the United States adopt the Dane’s system wherein steep taxes ensure citizens may enjoy universal healthcare, a college education at no cost, and guaranteed paid leave, Shore News Network reported.
Denmark controls Greenland, and President Donald Trump said in December prior to his inauguration that American ownership of Greenland is an “absolute necessity” for national security and freedom, per Breitbart News.
Sanders appeared to be referring to that issue in his social media post.
The daughter of Colombia’s president has waded into the short-lived standoff between her father and President Trump over deportations — suggesting the Latin American nation should send back an American sex tourist for every Colombian deported from the US.
“For every Colombian deported we will return a gringo from the Poblado,” wrote Andrea Petro, the daughter of Colombian President Gustavo Petro, in a post on X Monday.
She accompanied the cheeky message with a meme of dolphins jumping from the sea under a rainbow-crested sky.
London – Two climate activists disrupted a London stage performance of William Shakespeare’s “The Tempest”, starring Hollywood actress Sigourney Weaver, on Monday.
The protesters climbed onto the stage at London’s Theatre Royal, launching a confetti cannon and holding a sign which read “Over 1.5 Degrees is a Global Shipwreck”. The message refers to the recent announcement that 2024 was the first full year over the 1.5 degree global temperature rise limit, beyond which scientists warn stability of life is under threat.
The audience greeted the pair from the Just Stop Oil group with boos and whistles, along with shouts of “get them off”.
Under President Donald Trump, the United States will no longer "fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support" the medical mutilation and chemical castration of children in the name of gender ideology. Accordingly, the federal government will "rigorously enforce all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures." Trump signed an executive order Tuesday ending federal funding for the medical "transitioning" of gender dysphoric children, including performing irreversible surgeries and the prescription of chemically castrating drugs like puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones.
Residents of Pacific Palisades, California, were finally given permission by local authorities to return to visit their fire-ravaged lots and homes after President Donald Trump intervened at a town hall on Friday and urged a speedy return.
Trump had prodded Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass to allow residents to return and begin clearing the damage so that they can rebuild. After she appeared to say that they could return “within a week,” Trump said that was far too long.
By Saturday, residents — some relying on the president’s promise of a speedy reopening — began flocking to police checkpoints and demanding to return to portions of the town

of Federal Workers Buyouts if They Resign
by February 6 replies
President Trump is offering buyouts to millions of federal workers if they resign by February 6.
The federal workers who accept Trump’s offer will receive pay and benefits through September 30.
Trump is offering the buyouts to make sure all federal workers are “on board with the new administration’s plan to have federal employees in office,” CNBC reported.
Only 6% of all federal workers actually work full-time in the office! Trump’s offer does not include postal workers, military, immigration officials or people in national security roles.
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order aimed at cutting federal support for gender transitions for people under age 19, his latest move to roll back protections for transgender people across the country.
“It is the policy of the United States that it will not fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the so-called ‘transition’ of a child from one sex to another, and it will rigorously enforce all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures,” the order says.
The order directs that federally-run insurance programs, including TRICARE for military families and Medicaid, exclude coverage for such care and calls on the Department of Justice
A California woman has been sentenced to more than three years in prison for organizing a Chinese birth tourism scheme.
Phoebe Dong, 47, was sentenced to 41 months in prison and immediately taken into custody in Los Angeles on Monday.
Dong and her husband’s “USA Happy Baby” business helped pregnant Chinese women travel to the United States to give birth so that their children would have automatic United States citizenship.
Dong and her husband, Michael Wei Yueh Liu, 59, were both convicted of conspiracy and money laundering in September. The couple helped at least 100 women travel to the U.S. to give birth.
Liu was also sentenced to 41 months in prison in December.
President Trump on Monday night signed an executive order that is expected to eventually disqualify transgender individuals from serving or enlisting in the military on grounds of mental unfitness.
The order does not immediately bar transgender individuals from serving in the military, but directs the Pentagon to develop a policy on transgender service members within 30 days that prioritizes readiness. The current policy, according to the order, is “inconsistent with the medical, surgical, and mental health constraints on individuals with gender dysphoria.”
Gender dysphoria, the order states, is a mental condition that comes with bodily consequences that are incompatible with active duty and “conflicts with a soldier’s commitment to an honorable, truthful,

On Tuesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends,” Chicago ICE Field Office Enforcement and Removal Operations Director Samuel Olson stated that agents are “in a difficult situation here in Chicago” because many of the people they’re trying to apprehend “were previously arrested by local or state authorities and we’ve placed holds on many of them and they were released from the facility into the communities again.”
Olson said, “It’s kind of an arduous process, right? It’s — we’re in a difficult situation here in Chicago because a lot of the targets that we’re looking at were previously arrested by local or state authorities and we’ve placed holds

Jim Acosta announced his new venture Tuesday — hours after signing off as a CNN anchor with an anti-Trump rant.
“Hey guys! I’ve started something new. Go check it out!” Acosta wrote in a post on X, along with a video.

As Jim Hoft reported earlier, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt held her first official White House press briefing in Washington DC.
Despite being the youngest press secretary in US history, she is impeccably qualified to communicate both President Trump’s message and smack down fake news reporters. What a refreshing change from the last four years.

The Wall Street Journal revealed that GOP Senator Thom Tillis was behind helping Pete Hegseth’s former sister-in-law get her 11th hour affidavit with allegations of abuse to Senators before the confirmation vote.
As previously reported, Senators received an 11th hour affidavit with spousal abuse allegations against Trump’s Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth ahead of his confirmation vote.
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.

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) called on the Senate to investigate Trump for pulling John Bolton’s security.
As previously reported, John Bolton was awakened at the stroke of midnight on January 21st by Secret Service agents, who delivered a notice to him: President Donald Trump had officially revoked his protective detail.
Recall that President Donald Trump revoked the Secret Service protection of John Bolton last Monday.
Trump revoked Bolton’s security clearance in an executive order on his first day in office.
Bolton lashed out at Trump last week.
“I am disappointed but not surprised that President Trump has decided to terminate the protection previously provided by the United States Secret Service.
Disgrace General Mark “White Rage” Milley finally got his long-awaited comeuppance.
Fox News exclusively reported Tuesday evening that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will “immediately” pull retired Gen. Mark Milley’s personal security detail and security clearance.
But the news gets even better: Hegseth will order the new acting Inspector General to conduct a review to ascertain whether evidence exists for Milley to lose a star in retirement due to his deceitful actions “undermining the chain of command” during President Donald Trump’s first term.
Fox News also reports that a second portrait of Milley will be removed inside the Pentagon. This one is from the Army’s Marshall Corridor on the third floor,
Crooked New York Attorney General Letitia James announced today that her office has filed a lawsuit against President Donald Trump and his administration for the unlawful freeze of federal grants and loans.
As The Gateway Pundit reported this morning, President Donald Trump’s administration has enacted a temporary suspension of all federal grants and loans, effective today, Tuesday, January 28, 2025.
This initiative reflects Trump’s unwavering commitment to fiscal responsibility and his dedication to eliminating wasteful spending.

A family seeking justice from a botched FBI raid will have their day in court. It's not their first time, but it's the biggest time: The Supreme Court has agreed to take up the case.
Curtrina Martin and her family were resting peacefully in their home when the FBI rushed in, threw a flash grenade, and arrested her then-fiancee Hilliard Toi Cliatt. The whole episode traumatized Martin, Cliatt, and Martin's seven-year-old son.
The FBI had the wrong house. In fact, they weren't even on the right street. The house they were looking for was 3741 Landau Lane, while Martin's home address was 3756 Denville Trace.
Federal Judge Amit Mehta has been forced to withdraw his order banning Oath Keeper founder Stewart Rhodes and others from not only the US Capitol but the entirety of Washington, DC. Judge Mehta issued the order after reports came that Rhodes was meeting with members of Congress.

President Donald Trump's administration is set to offer every single federal worker the chance to take a "deferred resignation" with a severance package of roughly eight months of pay and benefits.
A senior administration official told NBC News that they expect 5%-10% of the federal workforce to quit, which, they estimate, could lead to around $100 billion in savings.
"American taxpayers pay for the salaries of federal government employees, and therefore deserve employees working on their behalf who actually show up to work in our wonderful federal buildings, also paid for by taxpayers," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement.

WASHINGTON - A U.S. judge on Tuesday temporarily paused part of the Trump administration's sweeping directive to pause federal loans, grants and other financial assistance, granting a win to advocacy groups who said the policy would be devastating.
At a hearing in Washington, D.C., federal court, U.S. District Judge Loren AliKhan ordered the Trump administration not to block "open awards," or funds that 6were already slated to be disbursed, until at least Feb. 3. The judge said her temporary ruling was intended to "maintain the status quo." It does not block the Trump administration from freezing funding to new programs, or require it to restart funding that has already ended.
Last week, I saw the signs and predicted what the left's narrative was going to be that would hurt the Trump administration. The theme would be "cruelty," as in everything Trump does, everything his supporters do, and every consequence suffered by his victims, would revolve around cruelty.
I even said that you'd see the word itself pop up repeatedly. Sure enough, I was proven right. I'm not patting myself on the back here. In truth, the left is just too easily predictable. [Tweet]
Right now, the most "cruel" thing Trump is doing is the deportations or, more accurately, the repatriations that are happening in impressive numbers.
Amazingly, it turns out that sometimes all the guy in charge has to do is to remove impediments from his people and let them get on with the job. That's what President Trump is doing with Immigrations & Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Border Patrol, and it's working, as illegal border crossings are way down, and we are filling up C-17s with illegal aliens who are being repatriated back to where they belong.

On Monday, the Interim U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, Ed Martin, announced that his office would undertake a review of the decision-making that led to the charging of hundreds of January 6 protesters with “obstructing Congress” in violation of 18 U.S.C. Sec. 1512(c). That was a statute passed by Congress in 2005 to address an alleged hole revealed in an obstruction of justice statute criminalizing the destruction of records, documents, materials, etc., to obstruct an investigation. The “hole” was the fact that the language of the existing statute made it a crime to direct third parties to undertake such obstructive acts,

Caroline Kennedy has released an extraordinary video of comments to senators where she calls her cousin RFK Jr. a 'predator' who set family members on a path to drug addiction and mistreated small animals. The daughter of President John F. Kennedy said she held back on criticism of her cousin during his failed presidential campaign due to her role as U.S. ambassador to Australia. But she unloaded on her famous relative in her statement on the eve of his Senate confirmation hearing, as he faces an uncertain future in the Senate as Donald Trump's pick to lead the Health and Human Services Department.
Was a U.S. Border Patrol officer murdered in Vermont by radical, Antifa-supporting transgender terrorists? A new report alleges just that.
This would not be the first time a transgender terrorist committed murder, as there were at least half a dozen LGBTQ mass shooters over the last few years, with the most famous — or infamous — example probably being Audrey Hale, the male-identifying woman who murdered three little children and three staff members in a Nashville school mass shooting in 2023. But the duo of Baukholt and Youngblut who murdered Air Force Veteran and border agent David Maland have taken mental illness to a whole new level.
Ignorance isn’t bliss. The Democratic Party could have used the results of a new poll out last week when they chose the Harris-Walz campaign theme, as an in-depth look at younger registered voters – millennials & Gen Z – restates the obvious: They didn’t want all the abortion the ticket was selling. A fact that I wonder if Kamala was thinking about last week at the Capitol.
When it comes to younger voters, common ground on abortion can be found on a number of issues, with a generation that support limits on abortion by almost seven in 10, more even than last year.
Ahead of Thursday’s Senate Judiciary confirmation hearing for President Donald Trump’s nominee for FBI Director, Kash Patel, The New York Times dropped a hit job accusing Patel of lying about the bureau’s 2016 investigation into then-candidate Trump.
In their lede, Charlie Savage, Adam Goldman, and Alan Feuer accuse Patel of having “repeatedly undercut the work of the very agency he is set to lead by making false statements” about the FBI’s sham investigation into Trump for supposed collusion with Russia. Lost on them is the reality that Patel’s understanding of the FBI’s corruption and willingness to “undercut” their partisan witch hunts make him the perfect
In his first hours in office, President Donald J. Trump issued an executive order curtailing the practice of unlimited birthright citizenship. Many think the Fourteenth Amendment calls for citizenship for everyone born in America.(snip)
At the heart of the debate is this phrase: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.”
This central clause raises questions about its application for some children of non-citizens and illegal immigrants. By revisiting the original debates surrounding the amendment’s language and reviewing its implications, Trump’s call for limiting the scope of birthright citizenship appears reasonable.
So here we are after a truly extraordinary first week of the second Trump administration, and how is the left holding up? Not so well, I’m afraid. It looks as if the forest bathing and other soul-soothing activities didn’t work, and thus after a week of energetic making-America-great-again activity, leftists are sadder and angrier than ever and looking for ways to maintain their fragile emotional equilibrium.
We’re talking about people who believe that men can become women, Hamas jihadis are “resistance fighters,” and Kamala Harris was a competent and compelling candidate, so their mental health wasn’t all that great to begin with.
Pete Hegseth was confirmed as Defense Secretary Friday evening, despite a last-minute attempt to derail his confirmation with allegations reminiscent of the Brett Kavanaugh smear campaign.
Danielle Hegseth Dietrich, ex-wife of Hegseth’s brother, accused him of abusing his former wife, Samantha Deering, in an affidavit. Dietrich claimed Deering “feared for her life” and hid from Hegseth’s alleged rage. However, Deering swiftly denied the allegations, threatened legal action, (Snip) Suspicion first fell on Sen.

Yesterday was Holocaust Remembrance Day. As our own Catherine Salgado wrote, the date marks 80 years since "Adolf Hitler and his Nazis massacred an estimated 17 million-plus people during their relatively brief but extremely deadly reign of terror."
And if you watched MSNBC yesterday, you'd think it was happening all over again. (I truly hope the network's six viewers are smarter than to fall for this garbage.)
Everyone's favorite racist host, Joy Reid, did what started out like a regular, normal-person segment to commemorate the day and remind us of the horrors people faced under Hitler and the Nazi regime. But Joy Reid is no normal person.
In just his first week back in office, President Trump's Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) isn't wasting any time getting to work, and ICE is crazy transparent about its success.

This is what immigration enforcement looks like, and on Monday, the Department of Homeland Security gave us an update about the progress that has been made in just a week under Trump. According to DHS, the Trump administration has already deported 7,300 illegal immigrants.

Trump’s decision to fire pro-union members Gwynne Wilcox and the labor board’s general counsel Jennifer Abruzzo is getting pushback from the agency and is being described as an “unprecedented and illegal” move.
Gwynne Wilcox may challenge Trump’s decision to fire her. In a statement to Reuters, Wilcox said she will pursue “all legal avenues” to challenge Trump’s firing.
President Trump could not resist getting a few last brutal parting shots in on failing fake news nemesis Jim Acosta following news of his journalistic demise while Acosta got his own last word in on Trump during his last show.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Acosta had reportedly decided to leave CNN after it was revealed that the struggling network was moving him to the waste-land of midnight or 2 AM. Acosta allegedly threatened to quit right away following the news.
The program would have aired at a time when cable news viewership is at its lowest level. Of course, it’s not like Acosta had many viewers to begin with.
We all drive on the nation's roads, and many of us fly the commercial airlines. Too many of us deal with deteriorating highways and we are all keenly aware of dangerous incidents with airliners and air traffic control in recent months. The federal agency responsible for oversight of these matters has suffered for four years under inept and ineffective leadership, but that's changing now. In another serious upgrade from the former administration, the Senate has confirmed former Republican Congressman from Wisconsin and Fox Business host Sean Duffy as Secretary of Transportation by a vote of 77-22.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Tuesday that the drones flying over the East Coast that caused a stir several weeks ago were all operating legally.
Leavitt made the remarks during her first press briefing after receiving the information from President Donald Trump in the Oval Office prior to the briefing.
“After research and study, the drones that were flying over New Jersey in large numbers were authorized to be flown by the FAA for research and various other reasons,” Leavitt said. “Many of these drones were also hobbyists, recreational, and private individuals that enjoy flying drones.”
Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle had the opportunity to ask one of the first questions at the first White House press briefing of the new administration, as the Trump White House made it clear that it is restoring press passes to journalists revoked during the previous administration and opening up the briefing room to new media voices.

WASHINGTON — The White House is pausing federal grants and loans starting Tuesday as President Donald Trump’s administration begins an across-the-board ideological review of its spending, causing confusion and panic among organizations that rely on Washington for their financial lifeline.
Administration officials said the decision was necessary to ensure that all funding complies with Trump’s executive orders, which are intended to undo progressive steps on transgender rights, environmental justice and diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI, efforts.
They also said that federal assistance to individuals would not be affected, including Social Security, Medicare, food stamps, student loans and scholarships.

Jim Acosta issued a bitter final diatribe as he confirmed that he is quitting CNN after being booted out of his prime slot.
Concluding his CNN Newsroom show just before 11am ET Tuesday, Costa, 53, looked directly into the camera and said: 'One final message - don't give in to the lies.
'Don't give in to the fear. Hold on to the truth and to hope,' he continued, eventually calling Donald Trump 'a tyrant'.
'Even if you have to get out your phone,' he went on. 'Record that message. "I will not give in to the lies. I will not give in to the fear." Post it on your social media,
Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) has released a joint statement with Danish Member of Parliament Aaja Chemnitz announcing that Greenland may be “open for business, but not for sale.”
President Donald Trump has been floating the purchase of Greenland for several months and recently sent the Danish government into “crisis mode” after he pressed the prime minister about it over a phone call. As Breitbart News reported: The Danish government reportedly descended into “crisis mode” following a call between President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, during which the U.S. leader is said to have forcefully reiterated America’s desire to acquire Greenland.

CNN anchor Jim Acosta announced on Tuesday that he is leaving the embattled network.
Acosta, the former White House correspondent who often feuded with President Trump during his first term, was slated to be relegated to graveyard shift from his current morning slot.
“I just wanted to end today’s show by thanking all of the wonderful people who work behind the scenes at this network,” Acosta said at the end of his 10 a.m. show.
Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is considering a return to public life by running for the Michigan senate seat soon to be vacated after the surprise retirement of Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI), Axios reported Tuesday.
Democrat Buttigieg is “taking a serious look”at putting his name forward, an anonymous source told the outlet, adding “He’s honored to be mentioned for this and he’s taking a serious look.”

Many have written about the liberal bias of PBS and NPR over the years, particularly when it relates to the news and news talk shows. Almost all media bias charts put both NPR and PBS on the left.
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) receives a yearly congressional appropriation of about $575 Million. Funding for public television comes from the government (at all levels) and the private sector in roughly equal amounts. Approximately 75% of the CPB’s funding goes to public television, while 25% goes to public radio. About 70% of funding for local NPR stations comes from government sources.
President Donald Trump is now using the power of the purse to bring diversity, equity and inclusion programs in the federal government to a screeching halt. The White House budget office ordered federal agencies to freeze 'all activities related to obligation or disbursement of all Federal financial assistance,’ which includes grants and loans that do not align with the new administration’s priorities. This is not meant to target any 'assistance provided directly to individuals,’ such as Medicare or Social Security.
After four years spent denying that inflation was a problem, Democrats are suddenly screaming at President Donald Trump for not having lowered the price of eggs already.
“Democratic lawmakers slam Trump for not making good on promise to ‘immediately’ lower food prices amid egg shortage,” shouts NBC News, pointing to a letter signed by Sen. Elizabeth Warren and other leftist lawmakers who accuse Trump of backtracking on his promise to deal with Bidenflation.
This is all part of a coordinated – and rather pathetic – campaign by the left, which is saying things such as “Under Donald Trump’s leadership, egg prices

I don’t watch ABC’s “The View,” the screechy, fact-free whine-fest aired weekday mornings on ABC for reasons unknown to me, but as someone who covers the media—because I think it’s important to call them out always and often—I do see the clips.They were up to their usual anti-American, race-baiting, far-left diatribes again Monday, but a surprising voice wasn’t buying it.
That’s right, Pennsylvania Democrat Senator John Fetterman, who is as confounding a figure on Capitol Hill as you could ever find. I was one of the many critics who blasted him during his 2022 campaign for Senate
At long last, President Trump is poised to slash government spending and aggressive regulations — and advance his first-term health-spending policies that were obstructed by Congress or overturned by the Biden administration.
That’s a big reason why Trump created the now-famous Department of Government Efficiency. The goal: identify and weed out inefficient and counterproductive government spending.
Reform could not come soon enough. Health-care costs, in particular, are ballooning the federal deficit and hindering economic growth.
On Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Deadline,” Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) said he was not going to tolerate the Trump administration’s mass deportations of children and families.
Host Nicolle Wallace said, “The Trump administration says this is just the beginning, the opening salvo, if you will. They’ve indicated that one of the next towns could that could be targeted could be Aurora, Colorado.” She asked, “What are you hearing from your constituents?” Crow said, “Well Nicolle I represent one of the most diverse communities in the country, and I just want to paint a picture for you. This is a community where nearly 20% of my constituents were born outside
The clash couldn’t have been scripted any better.
The occasion was Vice President J.D. Vance’s first interview since taking office, a sit-down with Margaret Brennan of CBS News. The anchor pressed him on the White House pause of refugee resettlement operations, reminding Vance of his past support for admitting into the country those who were “properly vetted.” The vice president replied that the efficacy of the entire screening process was in doubt, pointing to an Afghan national recently arrested for plotting a terror attack in Oklahoma as an example.
The subsequent crescendo launched a thousand memes and highlight reels
Border czar Tom Homan said Monday night the Trump administration has “no apologies” for the ICE raids targeting illegal migrants in the US when asked about Selena Gomez’s since-deleted Instagram post in which she sobbed over the law enforcement action.
“All my people are getting attacked, the children. I don’t understand. I’m so sorry, I wish I could do something, but I can’t. I don’t know what to do. I’ll try everything, I promise,” Gomez said in the video. (Photo) Gomez was slammed for sounding out of touch and quickly took down the video, writing on her Instagram story, “Apparently it’s not ok to show empathy for people.”
Google will be updating its maps in line with Donald Trump’s proposed name changes.
Last week, Trump announced that he would be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America and the Denali Mountain in Alaska to Mount McKinley.
In a post on the X platform, Google said it would follow their “longstanding practice” of abiding by U.S. government name changes.
“We’ve received a few questions about naming within Google Maps,” the post read.

President Trump announced on Monday night that the United States Military has entered California amid ongoing wildfires to render assistance with turning on the water.
For weeks, the fires have burned across Los Angeles County, forcing evacuations, destroying more than 16,200 structures, and killing at least 29 people as of Monday.
“The United States Military just entered the Great State of California and, under Emergency Powers, TURNED ON THE WATER flowing abundantly from the Pacific Northwest, and beyond,” the President said on Truth Social. “The days of putting a Fake Environmental argument, over the PEOPLE, are OVER.”
Yesterday a pair of authors co-wrote an opinion piece at the Wall Street Journal describing how the University of Colorado's focus on DEI led to hiring practices that were blatantly illegal. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 made hiring people based on race out of bounds but the school's Faculty Diversity Action Plan pushed hiring authorities to do it anyway and they were happy to go along with it.
In a hiring proposal that the National Association of Scholars acquired, faculty and staff of the university’s program for writing and rhetoric argued that recruiting a “BIPOC” professor—the acronym stands for “black, indigenous and people of color”—was vital
Americans hoping for a rematch between President Donald Trump and Jim Acosta will have to lay those dreams to rest in a light of reports that Acosta will be leaving CNN.
Oliver Darcy, a former CNN reporter now with Status News, said that sources within the network indicated the CNN veteran who notoriously filibustered every press conference during Trump’s first term will be leaving the network in response to recent leadership decisions.
Earlier this month, Darcy reported that CNN CEO Mark Thompson had booted Acosta from his 10 a.m. weekday time slot and planned to give him the graveyard shift
This weekend, a radio station owned by the George Soros-controlled Audacy outrageously identified the vehicle whereabouts of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents operating in San Jose, California, which is known for violent gang activity.
KCBS 740 AM – not to be confused with the Los Angeles CBS affiliate with the same name – elevated the insane unmasking of ICE agents from the leftist Rapid Response Network, which fights against deportation initiatives during the January 26 edition of KCBS Radio Weekend News.
But to make matters worse, anchor Bret Burkhart gave exact descriptions of the vehicles the ICE agents were reportedly using, including specific locations.
They've lost their collective, cotton-pickin' minds.
Instead of trying to fake it like I have a clue, I'm just going to tell you what they DID. Or try to.
It's so bizarre and outside the pale that they all need to get called out on the carpet and reamed royally.
I feel like I've suddenly moved to California. So, as far as I've been able to put it together, Gov DeSantis has asked for a special session to get the immigration reform bill they'd all worked on - with Trump era refinements, like penalties for illegals who register to vote, etc - passed and gaveled in.
He was told
As you may have heard, a border patrol agent was murdered on inauguration day in Vermont. This happened when a agents pulled over a car about 20 miles from the Canadian border for an immigration check and the people inside the car opened fire. Now we're learning that the two people responsible for this attack may be connected to another murder suspect.
The woman who allegedly opened fire at U.S. border patrol agents in northern Vermont, leaving one agent dead, used a gun bought by someone who was a person of interest in a double murder in Pennsylvania, federal prosecutors said Monday.
The mainstream media spent an average of 46 minutes covering Donald Trump's January 6 pardons but just three minutes covering Biden's pardoning of his own family, new analysis has found.
Between January 20 and January 22, ABC, NBC and CBS devoted 15 times as much airtime to Trump's pardons than they did Biden's, the analysis by The Media Research Center found.
The anchors who led the coverage included ABC's George Stephanopoulos and CBS's Norah O'Donnell.
Biden issued a series of preemptive pardons for family members James B. Biden, Sara Jones Biden, Valerie Biden Owens, John T. Owens, and Francis W. Biden in the final hours of his administration.
President Donald Trump said that the construction of an Iron Dome-like shield for the U.S. is a top priority for him on Monday, calling for "immediate" work to be done on the project before signing an executive order. [Snip] The president added that Americans "protect other countries, but we don't protect ourselves." [Snip] "And now we have phenomenal technology. You see that with Israel," Trump continued. "So I think the United States is entitled to that. And everything will be made right here in the USA 100%." "We're going next to ensure that we have the most lethal fighting force in the world."
Beege had a great article earlier today (yes, I know that is redundant) detailing ICE's efforts to deport violent criminal aliens.
The progress is remarkable, the resistance from local government officials notable, and the Pravda Media propaganda appalling as always.
But one thing stands out to me as ICE sweeps up pedos, rapists, and other well-vetted model citizens: they are apprehending hundreds every day with the efficiency of an atomic clock ticking off milliseconds. As the leftists whine about invading schools (not happening) and mamacitas being terrorized by Tom Homan chasing them with cattle prods (not happening), the real story is that ICE and law enforcement knew all along
In 2017 it took almost three months for the White House to release an official portrait of the new First Lady who in a significant break from tradition had yet to move permanently into the executive mansion. [Snip] ...Melania is captured in an ensemble that was literally a home-office style staple during her first tenure--one worn almost daily as she went about work in the White House... [Snip] A bold, confident, disciplined and always, sharply tailored boss was the Melania that the public got today and, up until now, was a woman that only those who worked closest with her were allowed to see.
