Trump’s HUD Ends Racist, Disastrous
‘Zoning Tax’
Posted By: ConservativeYankee, 2/27/2025 12:13:59 PM
Donald Trump’s Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Scott Turner just ended an Obama-era initiative that created years of disastrous and expensive regulation to demand racial quotas across neighborhoods far from Washington, D.C. The federal government really shouldn’t be involved in housing at all, but Secretary Turner is doing the next best thing by cutting as much wasteful spending and regulation as he can. Killing the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) Rule is his latest win — or rather, our latest win. It is incredible what can be done when government officials start to act as if they really are our employees rather than our oligarchs.

Republican Sen. Mike Lee (Utah) suggested Wednesday that Congress and President Trump should allow private citizens, or “pirates,” to take on cartels at the Mexican border to protect national security.
Lee appeared on Fox News’s “The Will Cain Show” and was asked about his plan to allow people to be deployed but not using the U.S. military.
“Privateers is what they’re called,” he said. “Letters of marque and reprisal are authorized under Article 1, Section 8, Clause 10 of the Constitution.”
Lee said it’s the same clause that gives Congress the power to declare war, but it also allows the legislative branch to issue letters of marque, “authorizing privateers, pirates essentially
Newly confirmed FBI Director Kash Patel wants to cultivate a relationship with the UFC, suggesting that the world’s premier MMA league could help the Bureau’s agents improve their fitness, according to sources familiar with Patel’s teleconference call with FBI field offices this week.
According to four sources who claim to be familiar with the call, Patel mentioned the idea on Wednesday in a video teleconference with the 55 field office supervisors.
During the call, Patel mentioned that incoming Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino is a big UFC fan and convinced him to try the training. The new director very much liked the training he received

to Pay Cops $2,500 for Each Illegal Alien
They Help ICE Deport 7 replies
Arizona lawmakers will be voting on legislation to pay police officers a $2,500 bounty for each illegal alien they help Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deport.
The legislation states that the bounties will be paid by taxing international money transfers.
Under the proposal, each international money transfer under $500 will be taxed $25, and those over $500 will be taxed $25 plus five percent of the additional amount.
Opponents of the legislation have argued that it will lead to racial profiling and distract police from handling their local duties.
The owner of a migrant employment agency in Pennsylvania has pleaded guilty to harboring illegal aliens and $3 million in tax fraud, the IRS reported on Monday.
Andy Ha, the owner and operator of migrant staffing firm Prosperity Services, Inc., pleaded guilty to the charges of harboring illegal aliens for financial gain and failing to pay $3 million in employment taxes for the illegal aliens that he helped get jobs in small Pennsylvania towns such as Charleroi, just south of Pittsburgh.
According to an announcement by the Internal Revenue Service, Ha “paid for more than 25 workers who were not legally authorized to be in the United States to stay
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said Thursday he would implement plans to create a “supercharge” in air traffic controller staffing amid shortages.
“This staffing shortage has been a known challenge for over a decade, and this administration is committed to solving it,” Duffy said in a statement noting the position requires “skill” and “rigor.”
He said the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) would increase starting salaries by 30 percent for candidates who go to the Academy for air traffic controller positions and reduce the current 8-step hiring process to a 5-step process in an effort to accelerate the hiring speed.
Attorney General Pam Bondi revealed Thursday that “thousands of pages” of documents in the FBI’s investigation into the sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein were withheld from her.
And she’s demanding that they be turned over by Friday morning.
Bondi, 59, disclosed in a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel a tipster said that all but “approximately 200 pages of documents” were still being kept secret at the FBI’s office in New York — despite her after repeated requests for the “full” Epstein files.
The initial batch included flight logs, phone numbers and the names of victims, but a source in the FBI’s New York office reached out and said that hundreds
On Thursday, President Donald Trump accepted an invitation from King Charles to visit Great Britain for a state visit.
The hand-written letter from the monarch was delivered by UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer as he arrived at the White House on Thursday. Starmer called what would be Trump's second state visit to the country "really special" and "unprecedented."
"I am honored by this invitation and look forward to strengthening the special relationship between our nations." He also praised King Charles, describing him as "a wonderful leader and friend."

A leading Republican senator on border issues has implored the Trump administration’s top homeland security officials to investigate the status of nearly a million illegal immigrants who were waived into the United States with minimal vetting and are largely untraceable.
Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) has asked White House border czar Tom Homan and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to determine the status of 810,000 immigrants who were admitted into the country under former President Joe Biden. The majority of them were not initially given a court date or legal process to follow, leaving them untraceable. This figure is in addition to the several million illegal immigrants House Republicans found were released
The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg said during a discussion about President Donald Trump‘s gold card immigration proposal that immigrants are necessary because Americans are not helpful in knowing how to “do stuff.”
“My point is, we’ve spent over 100 years saying to people, come, you’re welcome. We’ll take you. Now, nobody knows how you get in, what do you do because it’s a mess,” Goldberg said Wednesday on The View in a rant about the immigration system under the Trump administration. “So I want somebody to make up your mind so people know what to do.”
Former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre ripped Democratic leaders for shooting down former President Joe Biden’s reelection, betraying a “true patriot” seeking his chance at a second term.
Jean-Pierre, speaking to Harvard University students Wednesday night, called the mutinous behavior by Democratic leaders such as former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) “shocking, shocking,” adding that it was unprecedented.
“I had never seen anything like it before. I had never seen a party do that in the way that they did, and it was hurtful and sad to see that happening — a firing squad around a person who I believe was a true patriot

On Sunday night, President Donald Trump announced that Dan Bongino would be filling the role of deputy director at the FBI. This comes after Kash Patel was confirmed a few days before as the bureau's director. Trump's pick of Patel and now Bongino have fired up leftist commentators and Democratic politicians so fiercely, they've taken to forget very key details about what makes Bongino qualified.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) who, along with all of his Democratic colleagues, did not vote to confirm Patel, was particularly incensed about Bongino. So much so, that he left out key details of what makes him qualified, and it's not merely because it's Trump's right

Federal workers in Washington, fired from their jobs as part of the Trump administration’s ongoing cuts, are being kept from getting unemployment checks, U.S. Sen. Patty Murray said Wednesday during a virtual press conference.
“We are hearing from literally hundreds of people … that they got this letter that said they were being fired for poor performance,” Murray said. “That has impacts beyond just the emotional ones you’re hearing and the fact that they’ve lost a job — but in many of those who are trying to collect unemployment, it is hampering them from collecting unemployment.” Three recently laid-off federal workers local to Washington
President Trump and Vice President JD Vance teamed up during a fiery White House meeting on Friday to epically put Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in his place.
As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, Zelensky arrived at the White House on Friday to meet with President Trump to discuss his rare earth mineral rights proposal.
Ukraine agreed to Trump’s requested mineral rights deal with the US earlier this week to compensate Americans for the hundreds of billions of dollars the Biden regime had given them since the Ukraine-Russia war started three years ago.
Jill Biden’s former press secretary, Michael LaRosa, admitted the Biden White House covered up Joe Biden’s cognitive decline and “gaslighted” the public about his deteriorating condition.
For years, The Gateway Pundit documented Joe Biden’s cognitive decline.
The fake news media attacked the conservative media for posting videos of demented Biden wandering around lost and accused us of posting “cheap fakes.”
Last June, the Biden Camp and their stenographers in the media went into full-blown panic mode after a video of Biden wandering away from the G7 group went viral.
President Donald Trump will sign an executive order making English the official language of the United States.
Despite English being the predominant language, the U.S. has never had a national language at the federal level...
The summary of the order said the goal of making English the national language is to promote unity, establish efficiency in the government and provide a pathway to civic engagement.

As of this writing, Pope Francis is still alive but in serious condition.
This Sunday, the Oscars telecast will air and ironically, one of the Best Picture nominees is the film “Conclave” which is about the process to elect a new pope.
During my years at the New York Sun, I was frequently asked by my editor, Seth Lipsky, to cover current events involving Pope John Paul II and the priest scandals, presumably because I am a devout Catholic and had some access to the New York archdiocese and the then-archbishop of New York,

Former President Joe Biden told President Trump that he blamed fellow former President Barack Obama for the Democrats’ knockout loss in the 2024 election, the commander-in-chief revealed in a new interview.
Trump told the Spectator World he had visited the White House to meet with an “angry” Biden shortly after he defeated Vice President Kamala Harris — who took Biden’s place on the Democratic ticket after he was forced out of the race due to concerns over his age and abilities. (Photo's) “I asked him, I said, ‘So who do you blame?’ Because he was very angry, you know, he was a very angry guy, actually. And he said,
In consuming the news, one could easily conclude that, as we said earlier in the week, President Donald Trump and Elon Musk are carpet bombing the federal government. The wails and screeching breakdowns over the injustice of federal workers losing their jobs are ear-piercing. They are, we’re told, under attack.
After all, these are no everyday workers toiling for large corporations and small businesses – they’re federal employees who apparently are so indispensable to life as we know it that if they are no longer employed at taxpayers’ expense, America and maybe even western civilization will collapse.
Why else
A poll published this week by the firm Ipsos found Canada’s leftist Liberal Party overtaking the Conservatives in support for the first time since 2021, shortly before an expected election to replace Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
The survey, published on Wednesday in conjunction with the media outlet Global News, found the two parties within the margin of error of each other’s support. About 38 percent of respondents said they supported the Liberal Party, compared to 36 percent for the Conservatives. Support for the New Democratic Party (NDPs), a far-left rival to the Liberals, almost entirely collapsed to 12 percent. The poll’s margin of error is 3.8 percent.
After forces from the al-Qaeda affiliated Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) terrorist group conquered Damascus and overthrew Syria's Assad regime in December 2024, they urged the residents of the Valley of the Christians to surrender any weapons they kept for self-defense, telling them that civilians would not be harmed. Since the jihadists' takeover of Syria, however, around 500,000 Christians in the country have been faced with increased persecution and abductions
On February 16, more Christians... were abducted from another village in the area. Their kidnappers, according to sources on the ground, are torturing them.
On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Situation Room,” House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) argued that the Trump administration hasn’t focused on the problems of everyday Americans, while Democrats are “continuing to make sure that we focus on trying to make life better for everyday Americans.” And “We have to drive down the high cost of living. We have to secure the border.”
Jeffries said, “Look, what we’ve seen from the Trump administration over the last several weeks is just a flood of unprecedented extremism and a parade of horribles that continue to be unleashed on the American people, while, at the same time, the Trump administration is not focused
Democrat governors came to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s defense after he was kicked out of the White House for making “disrespectful” remarks during a meeting with President Donald Trump.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D), Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D), Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D), and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) accused Trump and Vice President JD Vance of having “advanced Russia’s propaganda directly from the White House,” and of “embarrassing the United States on the world stage.”In a post on X, Shapiro issued a statement criticizing Trump and Vance for having “attacked President Zelenskyy,” adding that they had undermined “the safety and security of America
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) praised President Donald Trump for giving “a masterclass on how to stand up for America” after kicking Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky out of the White House after he made several “disrespectful” comments.
As Breitbart News’s Katherine Hamilton previously reported, Zelensky’s comments were made “in front of the media ahead of planned private talks and the expected signing of the much-discussed minerals deal.”After Zelensky was kicked out of the White House, the “White House confirmed” that Zelensky had not signed the minerals deal and Trump issued a statement in a post on Truth Social stating that he had “determined that President Zelensky is not ready
