Trump's Funding Freeze

Original Article

Despite Trump's best efforts to rein in federal spending and hold agencies accountable for the use of their funds for federal loans, grants, and non-profit assistance, a federal judge has halted the forward momentum of these endeavors spearheaded through Trump's executive order. [Tweet] 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. U.S. District Judge Loren AliKhan ordered the Trump administration not to block funding to existing programs until Feb. 3 at a hearing in Washington, D.C., federal court.

Ever notice that when a Republican president does something the 'Rats don't like, within HOURS they get some lefty judge to order an injunction..... but when a 'Rat president does something that the Republicans don't like, it takes them a couple of MONTHS to get around to trying to stop it, if ever.

Now with the Republicans in charge of both houses of Congress, they need to pass the "Stay in Your Lane, Bro" Act to limit the powers of "imperial judges" who overstep their authority. No more Hawaiian or DC district judges who think they can act like emperors who have more power than the President over the entire country!

This action by the Democrats to run to a liberal Democrat appointed leftist judge to slow down, or completely sabotage Trump’s Presidential agenda is not out of the Democrat political ordinary these days. As the Democrats doing that is one of the prime ways the Democrats intend to slow down of stop Trump’s agenda and is just another form of Democrat law fare.

FEMA Fraud: Scam Artists Pose as Fire
Victims to Steal Relief from Desperate Residents

Posted by ladydawgfan 1/29/2025 9:41:09 PM Post Reply
Fraudsters have been applying for aid from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for the recent California wildfires, filling in addresses within the burn zone before the actual residents can claim their relief. Many residents of the Pacific Palisades, several of whom have been in contact with Breitbart News, report that when they applied for aid through the FEMA website, they reached a screen that said “Duplicate Application.” The result is that potentially thousands of people who desperately need cash — to pay for alternative accommodation, or simply to buy food and clothes — are unable to receive what FEMA has offered them. The scam is relatively simple.

Former Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “The Reid Out” that Republicans were making it “safe to discriminate” by going after DEI. Abrams said, “While Donald Trump may be the avatar, he’s not an outlier as long as the rest of the Republican Party suborn what is happening. Whether it’s Stephen Miller at the podium or a U.S. senator they are all agreeing to the premise of Project 2025. Which is they want to hoard opportunity and legalize discrimination. We have spent 248 years as a nation undoing our original sins, which include slavery, silencing women, denying native Americans their citizenship a whole host of challenges.

The Pentagon will investigate former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Wednesday. Secretary Hegseth already revoked Milley’s security detail and security clearance. Joe Biden pardoned Tony Fauci, General Mark Milley, and the entire J6 Select Committee of liars in his final act as president. However, a presidential pardon won’t stop the Pentagon from conducting a review of Milley’s conduct to see if he should be demoted. “Hegseth, whose first day at the Pentagon was Monday, directed the Defense Department’s inspector general to look into “the facts and circumstances” surrounding Milley’s conduct

President Donald Trump has signed into law the first bill of his second term, and it's the one piece of legislation that Congressional Republicans had targeted to land on his desk as quickly as possible upon his return to the White House: the Laken Riley Act. In an emotional ceremony in the White House East Room, Trump, joined by Laken's mother, sister and stepfather, signed the bill into law, saying, "We're going to sign this in honor of Laken Riley." Trump called on the bill sponsors, Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) and Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA), to join him at the signing desk.

When a political party loses a major election, post-mortems quickly turn into doubling down, and the Democratic Party has traveled that predictable path in record time since getting gut-punched in November. For about a week following the election of now-President Donald Trump, there were some rumblings that a course correction might take place. A few Democrats even spoke openly about backing away from transgender ideology and attempting to reconnect with the working class. That was never going to happen, though, and sure enough, the party's members are back to being the lunatics we know all too well.

The Portland police chief is brazenly defying federal authorities and refusing to cooperate with Donald Trump and Tom Homan’s plan for deporting illegal alien criminals. Sounds as if it’s time for the feds to investigate and perhaps arrest the police chief. Portland police chief Bob Day issued a community letter on Jan. 28, proudly affirming Portland’s unconstitutional sanctuary city policies, announcing his determination to flout federal law enforcement arresting criminal illegal aliens, and therefore publicizing as much as possible his corruption and illegal activities. Considering that ICE is currently focused on deporting the most dangerous illegal alien criminals, including murderers and child rapists, this begs the question

In 2022, states received $189 billion in funding for primary and secondary schools. The funding was supposed to go to programs that would allow kids to make up for the lost learning they were forced to experience during the pandemic. Standardized test scores had fallen to levels not seen in forty years or more. The infusion of cash would, as the Biden administration promised, help kids catch up. The most closely watched standardized test for primary and secondary school children is the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). It's called "The Nation's Report Card" because more students take this test than any other standardized test.

Judging from the first week or so, the Trump doctrine is going to be: We can do it the easy way, or the hard way. Those are the words the president used in a post on Truth Social last week threatening tariffs on Russia if it didn’t cut a peace deal with Ukraine. Trump is a president who understands, and has no hesitation in using, the leverage the United States has abroad as the world’s pre-eminent economic and military power, and the leverage he has at home as a newly elected president with a mandate and the strong backing of a fervent political movement.
