As we reported, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) suffered a serious meltdown over Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer voting to advance the House GOP continuing resolution, which ultimately allowed the bill to pass in the Senate. She flipped out, claiming that if the Senate Democrats voted for the bill, it was a "betrayal" of their House colleagues:
Barack Obama once famously accused working class white voters of bitterly clinging to their guns and religion, the same could be said about today’s Democrats and their fixation on the face masks that symbolized their COVID tyranny.
Years after the end of the Biden regime’s authoritarian pandemic response that nearly destroyed America, the party’s top two marquee progressives, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) are urging their supporters to put the face diapers on for their upcoming “Fighting Oligarchy” rally in Denver next week.
On Friday, conservative influencer and podcaster Stephen Miller shared a notice about the rally
One of President Donald Trump’s first actions upon entering the White House was to order federal employees to return to the office.
The government workforce, he has repeatedly contended, could not be productive from home.
“I happen to be a believer that you have to go to work. I don’t think you can work from home,” Trump said on Feb. 11. “Nobody’s going to work from home, they’re going to be going out, they’re going to play tennis, they’re going to play golf. They’re going to do a lot of things. They’re not working.”
Three days later, Trump traveled to his sprawling Mar-a-Lago mansion in Palm Beach, where he remained for parts
The Virginia high school track runner seen striking another runner in the head with a baton on a viral video, held a rally for supporters after being charged with assault and battery.
Alaila Everett of I.C. Norcom High School was seen striking fellow runner Kaelen Tucker in the head at the Virginia state championships earlier this month. [Tweet, video]
The blow sent Tucker crashing to the ground, clutching the back of her head. Later, she was diagnosed with a concussion and possible skull fracture.
Since the incident, Everett has vehemently proclaimed her innocence, claiming she would never intentionally hurt someone and that the baton strike was accidental.
The FBI's relentless witch hunt against Donald Trump has taken yet another bizarre turn. New revelations show the bureau secretly obtained Trump and Pence's government phones from Biden's White House in May 2022, as part of their “investigation.”
“The Biden White House turned over government cellphones belonging to President Donald Trump and former Vice President Mike Pence to the FBI in May 2022 as part of a bureau probe into the aftermath of the 2020 election, tying Trump to that investigation without sufficient predication,” Fox News Digital reports.
According to the report, the FBI did not need a warrant to obtain the government phones, but sources told the outlet that

A World War II veteran in Charlotte, North Carolina, is celebrating his 100th birthday and sharing sage life advice.
Asked by Charlotte NBC affiliate WCNC on Friday what recommendations he would give on “how to live […] a great life,” William Feldman responded, “Try not to worry about anything. Go along easy. Smoke a cigar. Take a little scotch. And I love spaghetti. You know, live a little bit.” [Tweet, video]
Social media users were quick to share their well wishes for the veteran, with one writing, “Happy 100th Birthday! Thank you for your service, Sir! We will not forget your sacrifice.”
Arlington National Cemetery has scrubbed from its website information and educational materials about the history of black and female service members.
Some of the content unpublished from the site was on veterans who had received the nation's highest military recognition, the Medal of Honor, according to military news site Task & Purpose.
The content removal is part of a larger effort by President Donald Trump to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) practices in the military and throughout the federal government.
A New Jersey hospital system is asking parents of newborns to designate their infant’s “sexual orientation” in a questionnaire mandated by state law.
The document from Inspira Health titled “Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Questionnaire” features several disturbing sections, the New York Post reported on Saturday.
The form asks parents to identify their baby as “Male; Female; Transgender” or “GenderQueer” and tacks on another option called “Additional gender category/Self-described.”
Parents are further pressed to choose from the options of “Lesbian or gay; Straight or heterosexual; Bisexual; Self-describes” or “Questioning/Unsure” when describing their newborn.
Last night, over 100 young conservatives gathered at Trump Tower for a party on the building’s mezzanine level. The dress code? Dress like you’re going to meet your future husband/wife. The host of the evening, Raquel Debono—the influencer who popularized the slogan “Make America Hot Again”—wore Chanel earrings and, like most women in the room, a perfect blowout.
The event—hosted by Debono’s employer, “Date Right,” a conservative dating app—was advertised as “a night for the bold, the based, and the beautiful to meet, mingle, and embrace the chaos.”
Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) received a wave of criticism on Friday when he announced plans to trade in his Tesla in protest of Elon Musk and President Donald Trump.
Kelly shared a video on X in which he pointed at his Tesla, saying he was driving to work in it for the final time. “When I bought this thing, I didn’t think it was going to become a political issue.”
He claimed that each time he has driven the electric vehicle (EV) in the past 60 days or so, “it reminds me of just how much damage Elon Musk and Donald Trump is doing to our country.”

Put Hillary Clinton Up at 5 Star Hotel

Why did the State Department (taxpayers) pay for Hillary Clinton’s 5-star hotel room and rental vehicles in France in 2024?
Hillary Clinton traveled to Bordeaux, France, on February 23, 2024 and the American taxpayer paid for her lavish retreat.
Clinton reportedly traveled to Bordeaux to promote climate change garbage at the World Impact Summit to benefit the Clinton Foundation.
The twice-failed presidential hopeful stayed at the 5-star Mondrian Hotel (a Clinton favorite).
The total cost for the luxury hotel ($16,759.18) and transportation ($22,570.19) set taxpayers back $39,329.37.
A radical federal judge has moved to block former President Donald Trump’s efforts to secure America’s borders and protect its citizens.
On Saturday, Chief Judge James E. Boasberg, an Obama-appointed leftist, granted a temporary restraining order to stop the Trump administration from deporting thousands of Venezuelan nationals under the Alien Enemies Act—an action well within the executive’s constitutional authority.
This outrageous ruling comes after far-left groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and Democracy Forward, rushed to court in a desperate bid to shield illegal immigrants from deportation.
Their lawsuit, J.G.G. v. Trump, seeks to upend Trump’s lawful enforcement of immigration laws, arguing that invoking the Alien Enemies Act—
When we think about President Donald Trump, we don't always think about him being a grandfather. But he is, and he certainly enjoys his grandkids. Grandpa is frequently seen with them at Mar-a-Lago.
He has 10 grandchildren--five by his son Don Jr. with his former wife Vanessa, with the oldest being Kai, the golfer, who is 17; then there's Donald John III, Tristan Milos, Chloe Sophia, and Spencer Frederick. Then there are three by his daughter, Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner -- Arabella Rose, Joseph Frederick, and Theodore James. There are two from his son, Eric, and his wife Lara -- Eric Luke and Carolina Dorothy.
The official account of the U.S. Border Patrol posted a video boasting of their efforts to secure the southern border under President Donald Trump.
The viral effort, posted on Instagram and shared by the 27th Chief of the United States Border Patrol, Michael W. Banks, on X, is captioned, "Shut it down. Let’s go!"
What makes this truly epic is the fact that the video is accompanied by the song "Look At Me Now" by Chris Brown, featuring American rappers Lil Wayne and Busta Rhymes.
It's not necessarily everybody's bag, but this video goes hard. It kicks off with some sick angles of the big, beautiful wall keeping illegals on the other side

On Friday, SpaceX's Crew-10 mission launched to help bring back the two astronauts stranded at the International Space Station. Astronauts Barry "Butch" Wilmore and Suni Williams were supposed to just be at the ISS for eight days, but they've been stuck there since June 2024.
A SpaceX Dragon capsule, riding atop one of the company's Falcon 9 rockets, is carrying the four Crew-10 astronauts - NASA's Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers, Takuya Onishi of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, and Roscosmos cosmonaut Kirill Peskov - to orbit.
On Friday, FBI Director Kash Patel took to his official X account to condemn the increasingly frequent practice of "Swatting," or making false calls to law enforcement, resulting in the possibly very dangerous deployment of special units. [Tweet]
Mr. Patel said:
I want to address the alarming rise in ‘Swatting’ incidents targeting media figures. The FBI is aware of this dangerous trend, and my team and I are already taking action to investigate and hold those responsible accountable.
This isn’t about politics—weaponizing law enforcement against ANY American is not only morally reprehensible but also endangers lives, including those of our officers. That will not be tolerated.

Folks on the left are freaking out over President Donald Trump's tariff positions. But as with most things that Trump does, there's a reason that the left either doesn't understand or wants to ignore because it makes sense.
I wrote a bit on this on Friday when I reported on Vice President JD Vance's trip to Michigan to speak at Vantage Plastics. Vance explained that part of the reason for them is that we're already facing big tariffs from some of these countries, or have watched them block our products, without having leadership that has been reciprocal in response.
Basically, he argues, we're being taken advantage of
It takes strength to be President of the United States, to stand up and defend America against wrong and evil. Joe Biden was not such a man, and the United States suffered for four years under this weak, pusillanimous Leftist coward. Donald Trump won’t be able to get all he wants done, of course. The Deep State will fight him all the way but they are currently doing a good job of putting nails into their own coffin.
The Democrats can never win on the basis of sound, reasoned arguments, so they have to find other ways
Minnesota Republicans Introduce Bill Classifying

‘Trump Derangement Syndrome’ a Mental Illness replies
Senate Republicans in Minnesota are set to introduce a bill that classifies "Trump Derangement Syndrome," commonly referred to as TDS, as a mental illness.
For those not privy to the latest medical journals, TDS is a condition where otherwise normal humans turn into frothing, wild-eyed lunatics at the mere mention of a particular golden-haired president.
Symptoms include spontaneous outbursts of "Orange Man Bad!", an uncontrollable urge to blame him for everything (including, but not limited to, their burnt toast), and a knack for seeing Hitler in everything he says.
The bill, already logged into the legislature website, will be formally introduced and read in the chamber on Monday.
Fact check: True. Only I'm not sure whether Van Jones knows how true this is -- and why.
Let me start out by stipulating that Jones usually offers some real insights in his analyses, and cuts against the Left when he sees them erring. In this case, though, Jones accurately assesses the anger on the Left toward both Chuck Schumer and Donald Trump, but misses the larger reality around it (via Twitchy): ERIN BURNETT: Van, how angry are Democrats at Leader Schumer?
VAN JONES, CNN SENIOR POLITICAL COMMENTATOR: I've never seen this level of volcanic anger at a Democrat ever.
BURNETT: Ever?
JONES: Ever.
BURNETT: Wow.
JONES: We could be grumpy.
Natalie Zito (nee Gilbert) was 13 years old in 2003 when she won a contest to sing the national anthem before an NBA Portland Trail Blazers playoff game with Dallas.
She stepped up to the mic and began to sing our anthem, acapella, with no accompaniment. Then, about 20 seconds into the song, Natalie faltered. She had forgotten the words. The crowd went dead silent.
Then, the coach of the Trailblazers, NBA Hall of Famer Maurice Cheeks, stepped beside the terrified girl and began to feed her the words.
His hand rested gently on her shoulder as he guided young Natalie through the anthem while encouraging the crowd to join in.
The Biden family's penchant for playing fast and loose with financial disclosure laws continues. This time, it's the president's daughter and shower buddy Ashley Biden who's in hot water over a quarter-million-dollar "forgotten" donation to her nonprofit from none other than Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
The National Legal and Policy Center has referred Ashley's organization, Women's Wellness Spa(ce), to the IRS for investigation after discovering that the group conveniently failed to report a $250,000 grant from the Archewell Foundation in 2023.

President Donald Trump's speech about "turning the page" on unequal treatment under the law at the Department of Justice on Friday upset all the right people—especially the old guard at the FBI.
During his one-hour speech, complete with occasional sidebars about everything from former Indiana basketball coach Bobby Knight to the bravery of Florida Federal Judge Aileen Cannon, Trump named names and kicked some cabooses. Trump made it clear that the DOJ and FBI's illegal ways of meting out justice in the past were over.
At the DOJ hall, Trump calmly name-checked "deranged" Jack Smith and Andrew Weissmann,
It's always good to see bad terrorists being turned into good terrorists. The latest goblin to have his birth certificate permanently revoked was one Abdallah Maki Mosleh al-Rifai, the leader of ISIS in Iraq and Syria. On Friday, the Iraqi government announced al-Rifai was taken out in an airstrike.
The world is now a slightly better place.
The head of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria has been killed in Iraq in an operation by members of the Iraqi national intelligence service along with U.S.-led coalition forces, the Iraqi prime minister announced Friday.
“The Iraqis continue their impressive victories over the forces of darkness and terrorism,”
Hunter Biden fled last week to South Africa for a luxury vacation — with round-the-clock Secret Service protection — avoiding a grueling deposition scheduled for this week in a California lawsuit.
California District Court Judge Herman Vera granted Hunter’s motion to dismiss the case Thursday after the former first son claimed he was too broke to continue suing former Trump staffer Garrett Ziegler and his nonprofit Marco Polo.
But photographs show Hunter was already in Cape Town the day the case was dismissed, staying in a $500-a-night beachfront villa described on its website as an “ultra-luxurious designer home with spectacular 180 degrees unobstructed views of the sea.”
President Donald Trump announced on Saturday that he has ordered airstrikes against the Houthi rebels in Yemen. In a Truth Social post, Trump wrote that he had "ordered the United States Military to launch decisive and powerful Military action against the Houthi terrorists in Yemen."
Recently, a video circulated of former Vice President Kamala Harris engaging in her trademark word salad during an appearance at an AI conference in Las Vegas. Harris was saying something about nacho cheese Doritos, but beyond that, the point was not clear. The most striking effect of the video was to see and hear Harris again after her virtual disappearance from the public scene in the last 4 1/2 months. During the presidential campaign, we saw and heard her every day, and these days … mostly nothing.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., now serving as Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services under President Trump, has announced a bold initiative to eliminate harmful chemicals from America’s food supply.
Kennedy’s announcement, made via an X post and an accompanying video, exposed the catastrophic failures of the FDA’s so-called Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) designation.
Originally intended to apply to simple ingredients like salt and baking soda, GRAS has been hijacked by corporate interests to sneak in potentially dangerous chemicals—no testing, no oversight, and no accountability.

After staging an embarrassing display of impotence during Donald Trump's speech to Congress, one might have thought that Democrats would have learned a lesson. Instead, as Politico laments, they were just warming up:President Donald Trump’s week was poised to be bruising.
Instead, the president is ending it on a political high after he and congressional Republicans closed ranks and, with an assist from the looming specter of DOGE, cornered Democrats into voting to avert a government shutdown on their terms. Now, it’s Democrats
A deranged, anti-Elon Musk dad scrawled a swastika on the side of a Cybertruck in Brooklyn in a brazen attack committed right in front of The Post.
The lefty loon was so triggered by the $80,000 electric Tesla truck parked on Washington Avenue in Prospect Heights that he double-parked his Subaru – with two car seats in the back – burst out, and defaced the car.
The Cybertruck’s owner Avi Ben Hamo, who is Jewish, was stunned.
“I feel myself burning inside,” Ben Hamo said.
Back in his Subaru, the hateful vandal tried to speed off — but Ben Hamo, who watched the attack from the sidewalk across the street,
The Democrats have become and remain today a “Brahmin Left” party. “Brahmin Left” is a term coined by economist Thomas Piketty and colleagues to characterize Western left parties increasingly bereft of working-class voters and increasingly dominated by highly educated voters and elites, including of course our own Democratic Party. The Brahmin Left character of the party has evolved over many decades but spiked in the 21st century. The chart below illustrates this trend.

Tesla electric cars were cool a few years ago. They signaled all the virtue of a Toyota Prius, but without the ugly body shape and C-O-E-X-I-S-T bumper sticker. And they were a lot faster.
Electric vehicle devotees – you probably know some – hailed the immigrant behind Tesla as an engineering genius and good green guy. His immigration to the United States was not illegal, but even that wasn’t held against him. He was the liberals’ favorite African-American since the Hawaiian dude.
That’s all so 2023.
“AT THIS VERY MOMENT, THOUSANDS OF UKRAINIAN TROOPS ARE COMPLETELY SURROUNDED BY THE RUSSIAN MILITARY, AND IN A VERY BAD AND VULNERABLE POSITION,” U.S. President Donald Trump wrote in all caps on social media on Friday.Trump’s rant is a clear reference to the Monday or Tuesday evacuation of around 10,000 Ukrainian troops from what was once a 250-square-mile salient they held in western Russia’s Kursk Oblast.
The Ukrainians are beaten. But they’re not surrounded. “It’s a lie,” wrote Kriegsforscher, a Ukrainian drone operator who fought in Kursk.
During the online “Overtime” segment of Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher said that environmental money spent by the Biden administration in its final days was “just funneling money to people who are not solving the problem.” And the groups that got the money “were not really environmental groups and they had no experience in doing it.”
While discussing the federal Department of Education, Maher said that while the department likely does some good things, “it also looks like some of these places are just funneling money to people who are not solving the problem.”
Now that Elon Musk is on Trump’s team and the latest two-minute hate (and vandalism) target, he must not be allowed to look heroic in the media. But the spectacle of his SpaceX stepping up to rescue the astronauts who have been left in orbit at the International Space Station for months longer than planned is awfully compelling and—face it—downright epic. (snip) the most politically devastating aspect of the rescue for Democrats is that Musk says he offered to rescue the lost in space crew during the Biden presidency
United Nations aid agencies have been sent questionnaires by the US asking them to state if they have "anti-American" beliefs or affiliations.
Among the 36 questions on the form, sent by the US Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and seen by the BBC, is one asking if they have any links to communism.
Some of the world's biggest humanitarian organisations have received the questionnaire, including the UN Refugee Agency and the International Committee of the Red Cross.
The Trump administration has launched a cost-cutting drive across the US government, led by billionaire Elon Musk, and has closed down much of its foreign aid.

Five states are considering legislation or ratifying constitutional amendments that would either implement voter ID or prevent non-citizen voting, as both issues have become significant election integrity concerns.
Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Utah and Wisconsin are in the process of strengthening election integrity by pushing forward bills or proposed constitutional amendments that would verify a voter’s identity and/or ensure that they are a U.S. citizen before voting. Only about half of the states have voter photo ID, and just 15 explicitly prohibit non-citizen voting.
Why isn’t Volodymyr Zelenskyy the one asking for mercy? That’s the larger, unspoken message from Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Speaking directly to President Donald Trump’s request for Russia to spare the lives of Ukrainian soldiers surrounded in the Kursk region, President Vladimir Putin says they will be spared if they lay down their arms and surrender.
Notice how Putin draws a distinction (snip), “we are sympathetic to President Trump's call to be guided by humanitarian considerations,” and then Putin shifts the emphasis on the absence of this plea from bloodthirsty Zelenskyy. “There must be an appropriate order from the military and political leadership of Ukraine to its troops
President Donald J. Trump is reportedly drafting a new travel ban, which will likely trigger the liberal media. It’s a broader order, as opposed to his initial executive order on immigration that listed several predominately Muslim nations. The press erroneously framed this order as a Muslim ban.
It wasn’t—Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim nation, was not on the list. It was not even Trump’s list—Obama was the one who initially picked the countries in question. The new one Trump is cooking up has 43 nations on it (via NYT):
White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Harrison Fields criticized Democratic California Rep. Maxine Waters on Fox Business Friday, suggesting that her retirement would be a good thing for the U.S. Capitol.
During the Democrats’ annual issues retreat in Northern Virginia Friday, Waters accused President Donald Trump of trying to incite violence and start a civil war through disruptive policies like imposing tariffs, firing federal employees, and empowering Elon Musk to dismantle government services. In an appearance on “The Evening Edit,” Fields responded and said Waters is “not a credible voice” and recounted her past calls for confrontational protests against Republicans.
Clinton-appointed Judge Richard Young has ordered the Indiana Department of Correction (IDOC) to provide sex change surgery for a “transgender” inmate who murdered a baby.
The inmate, Jonathan Richardson, who now goes by “Autumn Cordellioné,” is in prison for the reckless homicide of a baby.
Richardson was convicted in 2001 for strangling his then-wife’s 11-month-old daughter to death.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed the lawsuit against the Indiana Department of Corrections seeking a sex change on behalf of Richardson in 2023, three years after the baby-killer decided to begin identifying as a woman.
Currently, there is a law in Indiana banning taxpayer-funded sex change procedures for inmates.

Houston police are being instructed to call federal immigration authorities if they come across an individual who has deportation orders listed in the national crime database.
The new guidance to law enforcement in Texas’ largest city comes after the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials added 700,000 individuals with deportation orders to the National Crime Information Center database, which is used widely by local law enforcement across the country to track warrants, missing persons, stolen property and other criminal records. There are more than 1.4 million people with active deportation orders across the country.
ICE’s inclusion of deportation orders broadens the ability for local law enforcement to identify undocumented immigrants.
An appeals court on Friday lifted a block on President Donald Trump's executive orders ending federal support for diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs.
A panel of three judges ruled the orders can be enforced during a pending lawsuit, reversing a nationwide injunction from U.S. District Judge Adam Abelson in Baltimore, the Associated Press reported.
Two of the judges on the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the orders "could raise concerns" about First Amendment rights, but found Abelson's "sweeping block went too far," according to the report.
In a statement released on the day of his abruptly canceled confirmation hearing, Dr. Dave Weldon, President Trump’s initial nominee to lead the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said concerns that Big Pharma was behind the subversion were “probably true.” “They are hands-down, the most powerful lobby organization in Washington DC giving millions of dollars to politicians on both sides of the aisle,” he wrote. [Snip] Weldon believes these two objections killed his shot at being CDC director.

Democratic strategist James Carville said during a Thursday podcast that he was in San Francisco instructing numerous party donors that “stunts” are not an effective way to combat President Donald Trump.

The only reason that everyone isn't talking about what a terrible week Gavin Newsom is having is that people are too busy talking about what a terrible week Chuck Schumer is having.
Still, almost as many Democrats seem irritated and fed up with Newsom as with Schumer. The source of that irritation is Newsom's new podcast where he has so far invited as guests: Charlie Kirk, Michael Savage and Steve Bannon. Michelle Goldberg has an opinion piece about this today.
