Dan Caine may not have been on Washington’s radar before Friday night.
But President Donald Trump’s fascination with the retired three-star general, his surprise pick to become the next chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, appears to go back to their first meeting in Iraq in 2018.
Caine, then the deputy commander of a special operations task force fighting Islamic State, told the president that the militant group could be destroyed in just a week, Trump recalled during a speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference in 2019.
Since then, he has retold the story about how he met “Razin” Caine multiple times – and the praise has only grown more effusive.

President Donald J. Trump wanted Elon Musk to get more aggressive; he did just that. The Department of Government Efficiency has been going through DC like the Golden Horde, zeroing on wasteful spending that shut down USAID—probationary government workers in the hundreds of thousands are on the chopping block. Thousands of government workers have been served and will soon be served their pink slips. Now, Musk is ordering workers to explain what they do or risk termination. And yes, you bet that the DC elite freaked out, seeking lawyers to ask if these actions were legal or not (via Politico):

President Donald Trump said Saturday at CPAC that the MAGA-led Republican Party is establishing a political majority that will dominate American politics for generations.
Trump made the comments while addressing the crowd at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland, for the third day of CPAC.
“With the help of so many incredible supporters here today, we’re going to forge a new and lasting political majority that will drive American politics for generations to come,” Trump said, forecasting that Republicans will “do fantastically well in the” 2026 midterm elections.
“In theory, the one that wins the presidency does not do well in the midterms, but

President Donald Trump took to the stage at CPAC on Saturday. During his remarks, he discussed what drove him back on the campaign trail to run for president again in 2024.
“Over the past few weeks, we’ve begun the largest deportation operation in American history, larger even than that of President Dwight D.Eisenhower, a very moderate man, but he was very strong on that,” Trump began.
“He didn’t like people running into our country and taking over our country.”
“I’ll tell you, I had four years. I don’t know if you had this….I couldn’t stand it,” he stated with emphasis.

President Trump praised Elon Musk for doing a “great job” heading the new Department of Government Efficiency — but said he should be even “more aggressive” as he blasts through federal agencies to eliminate waste.
“Elon is doing a great job, but I would like to see him get more aggressive,” Trump said in a Saturday post on Truth Social.
“Remember, we have a country to save, but ultimately, to make greater than ever before,” he added. (Photo) Musk replied on X shortly after, saying, “Will do, Mr. President!” DOGE, which was created under the Trump administration, has fired tens of thousands of federal government workers

LGBTQ+ identification in the United States has spiked to 9.3 percent — an increase driven by Generation Z adults, a poll has found.
The percentage of U.S. adults who say they are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or something other than heterosexual has nearly doubled from 2020 and is up from a mere 3.5 percent in 2012, according to the Gallup survey. “In the 12 years that Gallup has been tracking LGBTQ+ identification, it has nearly tripled, as those becoming adults during that period have been far more likely than their elders to say they are lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender,” Gallup “The recent increase is largely due to

Speaking at a Black History event Thursday in the White House, President Donald Trump praised the memory of Prince Estabrook, a slave and Massachusetts Minuteman who was wounded at the 1775 Battle of Lexington.
Trump noted that the African American patriot was “one of the first in the nation to spill blood in that very, very tough time,” and went on to announce that his statue will be erected in the coming National Garden of American Heroes — a project the president put forth in his first term, and has revived.
The new “statue park,” Trump explained, will “honor hundreds of our greatest Americans to ever live, including countless black American icons.”

I don’t even need to explain to you why this is wrong. There’s no way there’s been this much of a shift. The media got the memo: start attacking Trump again because everything he’s doing is being well-received by the voters. So, CNN highlighted the four lefty polls showing Trump’s declining approval to manufacture a fake narrative that the nation is turning against him. The overall aggregate still has him with a higher approval rating. Now, they’re saying the Department of Government Efficiency's (DOGE) work is hurting Trump:

A majority of Americans agree with President Donald Trump’s embrace of biological truth in recognizing only two biological sexes — but most Democrats do not — a Quinnipiac survey found.
The survey — gauging sentiments on many of Trump’s early moves — asked respondents, “Do you support or oppose President Trump’s executive order recognizing only two sexes, male and female, in the United States?” Most, 57 percent, support it, compared to 38 percent who oppose it. There are varying opinions on party lines, as over three-fourths of Democrats — 77 percent, oppose the executive order recognizing biological truth. Only 14 percent of Democrats support the order.

New York City filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration on Friday to recoup $80.5 million of congressionally approved migrant funding the feds quietly seized from the city’s coffers last week.
The city’s Law Department blasted President Trump for conducting an “unlawful money grab” that snatched Federal Emergency Management Agency payments without any advance notice, according to the suit filed in the US District Court in the Southern District of New York.
The payments were dispersed to help pay back local governments, including New York City, for shouldering the massive cost of the migrant crisis.

The US Supreme Court put off ruling on the case of fired Special Counsel, the improbably named Hampton Dellinger. In a ruling with dissents by four justices, the Supreme Court agreed to put off ruling on the government's appeal of the order reinstating Dellinger until the DC Circuit issues its ruling on Wednesday. "In light of the foregoing," wrote Chief Justice John Roberts for the majority, "the application to vacate the order of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia presented to THE CHIEF JUSTICE and by him referred to the Court is held in abeyance until February 26, when the TRO is set to expire."
