'I Don't Care, Margaret': JD Vance's MAGA
Mic Drop Moment

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

Internet pioneer Marc Andreessen said it best: “Last week has totally reset my conception of what’s possible, in two wholly different dimensions.”
As Andreessen often is, he’s right.
Soon after November’s election, I suggested that if Donald Trump were smart, he’d come in like a wrecking ball: Move fast, break things and precipitate change across many fronts all at once, subjecting the Democrats, the media and the left (but I repeat myself) to shock and awe.Boy, has he ever done that, unleashing unprecedented change in just his first 100 hours.
Denmark this week announced a $2 billion security package for Greenland, making another large commitment to the defense of the Arctic nation as President Trump repeatedly calls to acquire the island.
The Ministry of Defense said in a Monday release that three new Arctic ships and more long-range drones are included in the first part of an agreement it has with the territories of Greenland and the Faroe Islands, both of which Denmark is responsible for on security matters.
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.
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

A Tale of Two Inaugurations
4 replies
Eight years ago, I was perhaps overly optimistic when I wrote in an editorial for my old newspaper, the Daily Inter Lake, that Donald Trump’s first inaugural address was a promise that “politics as usual would come to a grinding halt in Washington, D.C.”
Overly optimistic? Heck, I was dead wrong.
Instead we got more than two years of the worst kind of politics – the politics of personal destruction – as Hillary Clinton and her Democratic allies planted the seeds of the Russia collusion hoax, leading to the failed Mueller probe, then another two years marked by a pair of partisan impeachments and divided government.
President Donald Trump has been emphatic about his desire to acquire Greenland — the latest development in an eventful saga going back over 150 years. The world’s largest island has long presented an attractive prospect for American power projection. Located on the United States’s northeastern flank, developments in technology and the changing need for resources have only made the target more tempting. Before Trump’s efforts in 2019 and 2024-25, the U.S. undertook at least three major attempts to acquire Greenland throughout its history.
Here’s what happened the last three times the U.S. tried to acquire Greenland.
Is Colombia seeing more war than peace?
5 replies
When President Gustavo Petro took office in 2022, he aimed to bring about comprehensive peace in Colombia. But this now seems a remote dream amid the latest violence. DW presents questions and answers on the situation. Since January 16, the guerilla group ELN and offshoots of the former militant organization FARC have been fighting each other in the Catatumbo region in the northeast of Columbia near the border to Venezuela. At least 80 people have died so far in the violence.
At least 20 more people have been killed in clashes in the Amazonas region in the south of the country between rival splinter groups of FARC.
On January 21st, 2025, President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance attended the Service of Prayer for the Nation at the National Cathedral. As a believer, I attended the service for the purpose of praying for our nation, President Trump, the president’s family, and the success of his administration.
I purposely left the prayer service early after realizing how the pulpit was being used for left-wing activism and not for true worship unto God, to seek His will and wisdom. Mr. President, what accosted you at the prayer service was political–not biblical.
The Addicted, Petty, and Hysterical Left

Donald Trump won the 2024 election in part because the Left's hysterical style of attacking Trump no longer worked.
After a decade of this unhinged furor, it proved worthless in winning public support -- and for two simple reasons.
One, after years of Russian collusion hoaxes, the laptop disinformation farce, and the warped lies about the "suckers" and "fine people on both sides" -- the shrill Left became predictable.
So, the bored public began tuning them out, switching channels, hitting the mute button, and pulling the plug.
One of President Donald Trump's top congressional allies introduced a resolution on Thursday evening to allow the commander-in-chief a third term. Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., is pushing a new amendment to the Constitution that would give a president three terms in office, but no more than two consecutive four-year stints.
The amendment would say, "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than three times, nor be elected to any additional term after being elected to two consecutive terms, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than

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,
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
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.
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.

Vogue launched a vicious review of Melania Trump's newly-revealed White House portrait, comparing the first lady's look to that of a magician.
The magazine spent four years fawning over the previous White House administration, featuring both Jill Biden and Kamala Harris on the cover several times each, and its latest piece on Melania reaffirms their preference for Democrats.
Vogue's editor-in-chief Anna Wintour is a known Democrat - and was once even rumored to be considered for an ambassadorship under president Barack Obama.
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.”
It's sometimes hard to believe that this rube was one wayward coconut to the dome of Kamala Harris away from being the leader of the free world. But alas, here we are. Former vice presidential candidate Tim Walz (D) emerged from the shadows for his first nationally televised interview with MSNBC host Rachel Maddow.
And it seems Tim has a case of the sads. The Minnesota Governor lamented about losing the election and related to the feeling of "fatigue" amongst supporters when it comes to that loss.
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.”
WASHINGTON - Americans have a dim view of some of President Donald Trump's early barrage of executive orders, including his attempt to do away with so-called birthright citizenship and his decision to rename the Gulf of Mexico, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found.
Since taking office on Jan. 20, the Republican president has moved quickly to crack down on immigration and scale back the size of government, efforts that respondents to the three-day poll that closed on Sunday look on more favorably.
Overall, the poll showed 45% of Americans approve of Trump's performance as president, down slightly
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.

Desperate Dems Throw Eggs At Trump
24 replies
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
Some people living in South Florida are reporting that family members who showed up to regularly scheduled appointments with immigration officers were detained on Monday in Delray Beach. Nearly a dozen people could be seen standing outside the parking lot of an office in Delray Beach called BI Incorporated, a company which according to its website, supports the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) with operating the Intensive Supervision Appearance Program, an alternative to detention known as ISAP. Outside the immigration supervision office in Delray Beach, concerned friends and family members spoke to NBC6 on condition of anonymity. One woman said
