'Ghoulish' Media Reactions to Trump's
Joint Congressional Address
Posted By: Imright, 3/5/2025 9:37:55 AM
By many accounts, President Trump gave one of the best speeches he ever has during Tuesday night's joint Congressional address, at times highlighting his accomplishments one month in and pulling no punches in slamming Democrats while at other times tugging at the heartstrings of viewers watching with the sweet, sometimes heartwrenching stories he told about our fellow Americans. Predictably, the Democrats who decided to show up threw tantrums at the beginning, flashing ping pong signs with various political messaging on them, wearing pink to show so-called "solidarity" with women, and

Toy makers with US manufacturing facilities are getting slammed with orders as the industry scrambles to negotiate a slew of stiff tariffs from the Trump administration, The Post has learned.
MGA Entertainment, which makes Bratz and LOL Surprise dolls, also owns the 56-year-old Little Tikes brand, which manufactures larger, indoor and outdoor toys at a factory in Hudson, Ohio. The facility will hire more workers as it lines up a “select” group of toy companies who it believes will become “long term” clients, according to MGA CEO Isaac Larian.
“We have received many inquiries and we have the capacity,” Larian told The Post.
Some days, you sit back and scratch your head. Things can get so confusing, and it may seem as though the world around you doesn't make sense, and maybe it never did. That is what I think of when I see my brand-new Senator Elissa Slotkin, who replaced the old senator, Debbie Stabenow; she was a decrepit, do-nothing senator for almost 30 years.
Why does Michigan suck at electing senators?
That is probably a topic for another time.
So while I could not stay up for the entire joint session of the Congress speech by the 47th president of the United States (because I'm old), I did catch my junior senator
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt ripped Biden White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre for comparing the new briefing room, which allows previously barred outlets to ask unscripted questions, to North Korea and Russia.
The controversy surrounds a recent decision by the White House to open the press pool to new outlets and allow a wide range of voices to ask the President questions in events only the pool could access. For years, the far-left White House Correspondents’ Association held an iron grip over deciding which outlets get a seat in the coveted White House press pool.
In 2020, the far-left garbage website Washington Post wrote a hit piece
DOGE made another noticeable move saving U.S. taxpayers money and perhaps striking a blow against Barack Obama’s massive ego in the process.
As Fox News reported, Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has terminated the lease at the Obama Presidential Library site. This was one of many federal leases and contracts recently terminated.
This library is located at the Hoffman Estates in northwestern Chicago and is not the same as the Obama Presidential Center near Jackson Park on The Windy City’s southside, which is scheduled for completion next year. The Chicago Tribune reports the lease was scheduled to end this year and move to a new location.
Washington—This is the terrorist accused by the Trump administration of plotting the Abbey Gate bombing that killed 13 US service members and 168 Afghans trying to flee the Taliban in August 2021.
The Post obtained a snapshot of alleged ISIS-K bigwig Mohammad Sharifullah, escorted by two FBI agents, as his extradition flight touched down at Dulles Airport in northern Virginia early Wednesday.
President Trump announced Sharifullah’s capture and extradition to the US Tuesday night during his address to a joint session of Congress. (Photos) “Three and a half years ago, ISIS terrorists killed 13 American service members and countless others in the Abbey Gate bombing,” Trump told lawmakers
UPDATE: (X) After slapping new tariffs on Canada this week, citing a lack of results on the fentanyl flow into the United States and across the northern border, President Donald Trump spoke with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Wednesday morning. "Justin Trudeau, of Canada, called me to ask what could be done about Tariffs. I told him that many people have died from Fentanyl that came through the Borders of Canada and Mexico, and nothing has convinced me that it has stopped. He said that it’s gotten better, but I said, 'That’s not good enough.'
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt tore into Democrats for their obnoxious and "shameful" behavior during President Trump's address to a joint session of Congress Tuesday evening.What's remarkable is that she even helpfully gave them advice - suggesting they applaud at least some parts of the speech - in the hours before Trump spoke.
"I think, frankly, the Democrats should think about if they should stand up in applause for some of the things President Trump will be talking about," she told Fox & Friends. "He's bringing common sense back to this country."
They didn't listen. Instead, America got to see them for the clowns, utterly devoid of common sense,

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has already expressed regret for how his meeting with President Donald Trump last week played out and has asked for a do-over, but perhaps eyeing the chance for another incident the British and French leaders may offer to accompany him.
It is possible the French government may have hatched a plan to dispatch both President Emmanuel Macron and Britain’s Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer — both of whom undoubtably have functional working relationships with President Trump — to wingman for Zelensky should the time come he returns to Washington D.C. again.
CBS’s Stephen Colbert stayed up for a live show on what turned out to be Wednesday morning after President Donald Trump’s address to Congress. Colbert spent his monologue praising Rep. Al Green for getting kicked out of the House chamber and attacking Trump on everything from transgender issues to shipbuilding. Later, he would welcome former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg to wonder, “Where is the soul of our nation headed?”
Democrats have long used Trump’s speeches as a chance to engage in eye-roll-inducing theatrics, but Colbert was a big fan of Green,
Jon Stewart has officially invited Elon Musk to appear on “The Daily Show” after the billionaire entrepreneur suggested he would agree to an interview under one condition: that it air “unedited.”
Stewart’s on-air invite comes days after the “Daily Show” said on its X account that it would be “delighted” for Musk to appear on the satirical program if it agreed to air the interview unedited.
Last week, Musk blasted Stewart after the “Daily Show” host devoted one of his monologues to DOGE cuts — with Stewart getting so worked up during his remarks that he ended up slicing his hand open.

New York defend ‘sanctuary’ policies,

Democratic mayors of four major cities said Wednesday that Congress and the Trump administration are exaggerating crime committed by immigrants and attacking so-called sanctuary cities simply to score political points, as Republicans hammered the policies for shielding criminals and discouraging cooperation with federal officials.
The comments came in a hearing before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, where Republicans accused the mayors of putting their cities in danger and undermining President Donald Trump’s mass deportation efforts.
Republicans have repeatedly highlighted crimes committed by immigrants who crossed illegally into the U.S.,

During Donald Trump's big speech on Tuesday night, the Democrats proved more than ever that they hate this country and do not wish to see it succeed. They refused to clap for common sense things like lowering taxes and removing dangerous criminals from the streets. Even worse, they failed to applaud for everyone from the mothers of young girls who were brutally murdered to foster dads and foster children. But one of the most disgusting moments of the evening came when they refused to acknowledge a young boy with brain cancer for something that was about as far from partisan as you can get.
President Donald Trump was “actively trying to destroy” the United States because it’s possible he “hates” the country.
When asked how Democrats should react to Trump’s upcoming speech, Carville said, “This man is actively trying to destroy the United States, and I think we ought to treat this moment with real gravitas. I think we’ve got a very good selection in Senator Slotkin to deliver the rebuttal. But my advice is either don’t go or go and sit on your hands and look grim, because the country is in a grim position right now. I hope the Democrats act like that.”
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky wrote a message directed at President Trump on Tuesday after the US paused military aid to Ukraine, saying, “It is time to make things right.”
“Our meeting in Washington, at the White House on Friday, did not go the way it was supposed to be. It is regrettable that it happened this way. It is time to make things right. We would like future cooperation and communication to be constructive,” Zelensky wrote on X.
The Ukrainian president had come to Washington on Friday expecting to sign a minerals deal with the US, but left the White House with no deal
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau delivered a strong rebuke of President Donald Trump's decision to level punishing tariffs on their country.
He cited the Wall Street Journal to criticize Trump, and call his decision 'dumb.'
'Donald, they point out that even though you are a very smart guy, this is a very dumb thing to do,' he said angrily at a press conference on Tuesday.
Imports from Canada will now be taxed at 25 percent as Trump's tariffs went into effect on Tuesday.
'Today the United States launched a trade war against Canada, their closest partner and ally, and their closest friend,' Trudeau said. 'At the same time they're talking about
On Wednesday morning, in a 5-4 emergency decision, the Supreme Court upheld a decision from U.S. District Judge Amir Ali that essentially says that Donald Trump can't withhold $2 billion in USAID money from existing contractors. Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett sided with the three liberal members of the court. Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh voted in favor of Trump, with Justice Alito writing the lengthy dissent that begins with: Does a single district-court judge who likely lacks jurisdiction have the unchecked power to compel the Government of the United States to pay out (and probably lose forever) 2 billion taxpayer
Democrats continue to flounder as President Trump’s Days of Thunder transform the United States of America from the broken Biden years into a secure, prosperous, and responsible nation ready to face the challenges of the 21st century.
Already, the Trump administration has shut down the open border with Mexico, something Biden refused to do. Trump and DOGE has save the American taxpayer billions of dollars lost by previous administrations. Trump continues to eliminate waste and fraud in government. And, this week, President Trump cut funding to the unending War in Ukraine.
Meanwhile, Democrats continue to flounder with policies that are insane and unpopular. Their approval rating is at a dismal 36 percent!
If you watched Trump’s speech to a joint session of Congress Tuesday evening, you know that Democrats behaved like children, and Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) was so disruptive that House Speaker Mike Johnson had him forcibly removed from the chamber.
Speaking to reporters after the incident, Green doubled down on his disruptive behavior and, of course, defended his childish actions.
“The president said he had a mandate, and I was making it clear to the president that he has no mandate to cut Medicaid,” Green said. “I have people who are very fearful. These are poor people, and they have only Medicaid in their lives
The Social Security Administration (SSA) said in a release that it has identified more than $800 million in savings or “cost avoidance” for fiscal 2025 among information technology, grants, property and payroll.
The SSA stated that it froze hiring and “drastically” cut back on overtime, saving about $550 million.
The government agency that administers the Social Security program said it cut back $150 million from the information technology systems (ITS) budget by canceling “non-essential contracts and identifying reductions in other ITS contracts.”
Acting SSA Commissioner Lee Dudek said Monday evening the agency has “operated on autopilot” for far too long.

Some congressional Democrats are planning ways to disrupt President Donald Trump’s Tuesday night Capitol Hill speech with a variety of props and theatrics, Axios reported Tuesday.
While Democrat leadership has suggested that members bring guests who have been affected by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to the speech, some of the party’s more aggressive anti-Trump lawmakers are thinking of ways to go above and beyond to demonstrate their distaste for the president, according to Axios. Tactics under consideration include possible walk outs, using “noisemakers,” bringing eggs or empty egg cartons to bring attention to elevated egg prices and carrying pocket-sized copies of the Constitution
Former NBC "Meet the Press" anchor Chuck Todd delivered a brutal opinion about former President Biden, calling him a "craven political animal" who was more concerned about his political career than his own family.
During an appearance Sunday on Lincoln Project co-founder Steve Schmidt's "The Warning" podcast, Todd delved into why the Democrats lost the 2024 election and what he perceives as the media's relationship with the second Trump administration.
After decrying older politicians remaining in the leadership of the Democratic Party, Todd returned to Biden's role in the November election loss.

A transgender-identifying male athlete won a 400-meter women’s race in Staten Island, New York, on Saturday after two teenage girls opted out of competing against him.
Camden Schreiner, 21, who uses the name “Sadie,” came in first place in the Women’s 40o-meter dash open at the USA Track and Field Open Masters Championships with a time of 56:74, according to The Blaze. Schreiner won the race after his opponents, Anna Vidolova, 17, and Amaris Hiatt, 16, did not compete.
