Posted By: Imright, 3/7/2025 2:43:45 PM
The Department of Homeland Security has ended the collective bargaining agreement covering some 47,000 Transportation Security Administration employees. Today, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced it is ending collective bargaining for the Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) Transportation Security Officers, which has constrained TSA’s chief mission: to safeguard our transportation systems and keep Americans safe.

The aircraft was then escorted out of the area.

Vaccines and Autism as Childhood Diagnoses Skyrocket 13 replies
The Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has asked the Center For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to investigate a possible link between vaccines and autism.
The request, which was reported by multiple media outlets including CNN and The Washington Post, will involve a study using the Vaccine Safety Datalink, which monitors safety of vaccines and investigates potential adverse reactions.
“As President Trump said in his Joint Address to Congress, the rate of autism in American children has skyrocketed,” HHS spokesman Andrew Nixon said in a statement to CNN.
Do you think any normal people are listening to these Democrat and affiliated lunatics? I mean, I’m listening to them, and you’re probably listening to them, because we’re deep inside the whole political world, but I have to wonder – are normal people paying any attention at all to these circus freaks and their incessant, hyperbolic whining, mewling, and complaining? I don’t know. I have been too busy lately to spend a lot of time around normal people, but I do see some indicators. About 76% of people who listened to Donald Trump’s speech the other night loved it. Americans never agree on 76% of anything, not even that
Warren, Mich. — Bernie Sanders is standing alone on the back of a pickup truck shouting into a bullhorn.
He’s facing several hundred ecstatic voters huddled outside a suburban Detroit high school — the group that did not fit inside the high school’s gym or two overflow rooms. The crowd screams in delight when he tells them that a combined total of 9,000 people had shown up for the rally.
“What all of this tells me, is not just in Michigan or in Vermont, the people of this country will not allow us to move toward oligarchy. They will not allow Trump to take us into authoritarianism,” Sanders yelled.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has slammed Europe’s “cowardice” to stand up to Russian President Vladimir Putin as his nation looks to arm itself with nuclear weapons to avoid the same fate as Ukraine.
Tusk said the current situation in Europe, which is scrambling to react to President Trump’s decision to halt military aid and intelligence to Ukraine, would not have happened if the union took harsher actions against Russia.
“Our deficit has been the lack of the will to act, having no confidence, and sometimes even cowardice,” Tusk told his parliament on Friday, adding that Moscow would have been rendered “helpless against a united Europe.”
President Donald Trump sat down with Maria Bartiromo for Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” and discussed the current state of the Democrat Party.
Trump shared that he believes there’s “something wrong” with Democrats in power and believes the party is in serious trouble, even suggesting that they could become a minor party based on their recent antics.
Bartiromo, remarking on the embarrassing tantrums thrown by Dems during Trump’s address to Congress last week, said, “I was surprised at the Democrat’s behavior the other night. Because you delivered among the most diverse, expanded audience….Republicans and Democrats, Independents.”
“So is it just that the Democrat leadership
Republicans are pushing for the swift passage of a Continuing Resolution (CR) to ensure the government remains funded and avoid a potential shutdown. Party leaders emphasize that passing the CR is crucial to maintaining stability while providing an opportunity to secure vital conservative priorities, such as preventing unnecessary spending and holding the line against liberal overreach. With fiscal responsibility at the forefront, GOP members rally behind the CR to ensure the nation's focus stays on essential issues, protect taxpayers from potential disruptions, and advance President Donald Trump's agenda.

Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders said during a Tuesday interview that President Donald Trump, Elon Musk and Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos have created the most frightening time period in his 83 years of life.
Sanders claimed on “Pod Save America” that all three billionaires have taken actions that have influenced the media landscape in ways that could be dangerous. The Vermont senator said it was “objectively the truth” that their conduct has led to what he considers “the scariest times in [his] lifetime.”
“These are, you know, the scariest times in my lifetime … I think that’s objectively the truth.
The decades-long feud between actress and former daytime talk show host Rosie O’Donnell and President Donald Trump just got a little more complicated.
“It’s been pretty wonderful, I have to say. The people are so loving and so kind, so welcoming. And I’m very grateful,” O’Donnell said in a TikTok video posted Tuesday, in which the league of Their Own star detailed her move to Ireland before Trump’s inauguration.
I was never someone who thought I would move to another country, that’s what I decided would be the best for myself and my 12-year-old child. And here we are,” she said, explaining the move took place on January 15th.
Approximately 60 drones were launched from Ukraine overnight to attack the Russian capital city of Moscow. This is the largest escalation of drone/missile attacks into Russia so far. The attack comes, predictably, as Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Nat Sec Advisor Mike Waltz and President Trump envoy Steve Witkoff arrive in Saudi Arabia for preliminary face-to-face talks with Ukraine officials. [Snip] 60+ drones launched against Russia’s largest city is intended to draw a major retaliation from Russian President Vladimir Putin, that is what the UK/EU and NATO apparatus want. The Zelenskyy people want Russia to attack Kiev so they can enlarge the scale and scope of U.S. involvement.
Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, known as DOGE, has been working to eliminate what it considers redundant positions and cut costs. With roughly 200,000 federal workers now out of jobs, many are scrambling to find new employment. But for those who worked for agencies like the National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service, or Fish and Wildlife Service, job opportunities outside of government are slim. Coloradan Tina Jackson's one-year probationary period as a federal employee was set to end on March 10. But three weeks ago, she was let go from the Fish and Wildlife Service team she headed. After

Wonderful Economy Without Once Mentioning

“The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg claimed Tuesday that President Donald Trump ruined former President Joe Biden’s economy without once mentioning high prices or the record high deficit.
Goldberg argued that Trump inherited a “very robust” economy, crediting the Biden administration for adding nearly 16 million jobs to the U.S. economy, though she failed to mention this was largely a result of the U.S. recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic. The co-host also did not mention that inflation rose to a peak of 9% during the Biden administration and that the deficit reached record-breaking levels largely due to the previous White House’s high spending.
In what can only be accurately described as a case study in projection, Democrat Senator Elissa Slotkin (MI) said Americans in the Trump era are like teenagers whose brains have yet to fully form.
Pot, meet kettle.
To complete the irony, Slotkin's comments were made as a guest with the ladies of "The View" on Tuesday morning.
"We're about to turn 250 years old, right? We're still pretty young for a country," she explained. "These are, like, our angry teenage years. We are going through this push and pull where we're happy, we're sad."
"We want this, we want that, and what do you do when you have a teenager threatening themselves and others?

After Secretary of State Marco Rubio took to X on Monday to declare that 83 percent of the USAID programs would be cancelled and contracts rescinded, a curious memo from a USAID senior staffer obtained by POLITICO instructed remaining staffers to convene at the former agency on Tuesday for destruction of “classified safes and personnel documents." (Snip) A senior official at USAID instructed the agency’s remaining staff to convene at the agency’s now-former headquarters in Washington on Tuesday for an “all day” group effort to destroy documents stored there, many of which contain sensitive information.
Democratic Massachusetts Rep. Bill Keating had a meltdown on Tuesday, during a House Foreign Affairs subcommittee hearing, after the subcommittee's chairman called transgender Delaware Rep. Sarah McBride "mister."
The exchange occurred during a hearing on arms control and U.S. assistance to Europe. The committee's chairman Keith Self cited a Trump administration order that only recognizes and identifies two genders, which is the person's biological gender.
Self, a Texas Republican, introduced McBride, who was the first transgender lawmaker elected to Congress, as "the representative from Delaware, Mister McBride."
"Thank you madam chair," McBride swiftly responded.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Starlette Thomas remembers coming down almost daily to the intersection of 16th and H streets, to protest police brutality and systemic racial iniquities during the summer of 2020. On Monday, the 45-year old Bowie, Maryland resident returned to the site of those protests to mourn the end of Black Lives Matter Plaza. “I needed to be here today. I can’t just let this go away,” Thomas said, as jackhammers began tearing into the giant yellow letters in the street. Thomas discretely secured a chunk of pavement and said holding it made her feel conflicted.
A new four-lane highway cutting through tens of thousands of acres of protected Amazon rainforest is being built for the COP30 climate summit in the Brazilian city of Belém. It aims to ease traffic to the city, which will host more than 50,000 people - including world leaders - at the conference in November. The state government touts the highway's "sustainable" credentials, but some locals and conservationists are outraged at the environmental impact. The Amazon plays a vital role in absorbing carbon for the world and providing biodiversity, and many say this deforestation contradicts the very purpose of a climate summit.
