Australian Universities Demand 'Emergency
Meeting' After Trump Cancels Their Funding
Posted By: Imright, 3/22/2025 7:30:11 PM
Australian universities are crying foul after the Trump administration asks questions that put $386 million in research grants in jeopardy. The bone of contention was a questionnaire sent to Australian grant recipients asking if the institution had "ties to communist or socialist parties, receive funding from China and it only recognises male and female sexes." The grants were frozen in January, shortly after President Trump was inaugurated, but were unfrozen at some time thereafter. This new round of questions is the second time the universities were queried, but this time, it has their attention.

President Donald Trump estimated that his administration has already “identified maybe $4 trillion worth of companies moving back or going to move back” to the United States thanks to his tariff policies.
Trump shared the figure during Monday’s Cabinet meeting at the White House. (X Video) “First of all, many companies are now moving into the United States. They’re coming back. Some of them left us from many years ago, decades ago, and they’re all – it seems they’re all coming back,” he said.
“We have probably identified maybe $4 trillion worth of companies moving back or going to move back.
Former Senator Kelly Loeffler, the head of the Small Business Administration under President Donald Trump, announced on Friday that the government body she presides over will cut 43% of its staff and end Joe Biden’s wasteful and expansive social policy agenda.
The former US Senator made the announcement Friday on X. Joe Biden left the SBA bleeding money and desperately mismanaged like every other agency he touched.
But the fraud discovered at the Small Business Association is OFF THE CHARTS! (X Video)
Thanks to Joe Biden and the Democrats plot to shut down mining in America, China now controls our ability as a nation to make and produce many of our weapons from tanks to bullets. This puts America at the mercy of China.
It is unthinkable that a nation the United States perceives as an adversary at best and an enemy at worst would have the ability to control our production of such critical weapons and military equipment.
We expose the hidden truth behind America’s vast reserves of rare earth minerals that remain untapped in the United States due to environmental opposition.
Comedian Bill Maher had two words for those who would criticize his scheduled meeting with President Trump at the White House: “f*** you.”
During an interview with comedian Andrew Schulz on his Club Random podcast, Maher discussed his scheduled meeting with President Trump and how it would bother hard leftists. “Kid Rock was here a couple of weeks ago and he said ‘I want you to meet Trump. I’m going to take you to the White House.’ So now we’re going to do that,” he said.
“There will be lots of people on the left who will be like ‘How dare you talk to this man?’
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent praised the work the Department of Government Efficiency is doing and identified the key reason efforts to rein in the waste, fraud, and abuse within the federal government must happen so quickly.
“With DOGE, I am completely aligned with what Elon is doing. Everyone says, ‘Well, do you have to do it so fast? You have to do it,’” he said on the "All-In Podcast."
“I’ve only been in this business for seven weeks; I’ve only been in D.C. for eight weeks, but the thing I can tell you is, if you don’t move fast, the vested interests will weigh you down, like the quicksand
During this week’s broadcast of Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” Attorney General Pam Bondi reacted to the spate of violence aimed at Elon Musk and his Tesla brand.
She warned Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) to “tread carefully” regarding her rhetoric, which she perceived to be encouraging this phenomenon. “Well, what about these vandals on Tesla vehicles and dealerships?” host Maria Bartiromo asked. “Give us the consequences there. And what are you learning once they’re arrested? Why are they doing this?”
“Well, we’re looking at so much on this,” Bondi replied.

I’m not sure Jill Biden gets it, and this is a political initiative by Mrs. Biden because the Democrats are done with this man. The elderly crust of the Democratic Party has yet to figure out that the base wants to turn the page on the Clintons and the Bidens—which have become two loser organizations. Hillary Clinton couldn’t do it, and Joe Biden is half brain-dead. Lady MacBeth wants back in on public life, and the family is reportedly offering services to rebuild the party.

New York— During the first Trump administration, the biggest concern for many journalists was labels. Would they, or their news outlet, be called “fake news” or an “enemy of the people” by a president and his supporters?
They now face a more assertive President Donald Trump. In two months, a blitz of action by the nation’s new administration — Trump, chapter two — has journalists on their heels.
Lawsuits. A newly aggressive Federal Communications Commission. An effort to control the press corps that covers the president, prompting legal action by The Associated Press. A gutted Voice of America. Public data stripped from websites. And attacks, amplified anew.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will soon be working with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to support the Trump administration’s efforts to curb illegal immigration. The two agencies are close to hammering out an agreement in which the IRS will help DHS locate individuals who are believed to be residing in the country illegally, CNN reported.
The agreement would require Immigration and Customs Enforcement to submit names and addresses of people it suspects of living in the country illegally to the IRS, which the tax agency would then cross-reference and confirm, the person said.
I’ll believe it when I see it, but the sentiment that things have gone off the rails in California is believable. Notable progressives, like Bill Maher, have railed about the mountains of tape they endure, along with the high taxes, only to get sub-par services, outright incompetence, corruption, and shambolic responses to natural disasters. The Los Angeles County wildfires shook many people, especially since it seemed the state could not do anything right; the mayor, Karen Bass, wasn’t even in the country.

President Trump has criticized “second-rate movie star” George Clooney’s appearance on “60 Minutes,” dismissing the interview as a “total puff piece.”
On Sunday, the 2-time Oscar winner appeared on the news program to promote his Broadway debut — which sees him portray renowned journalist Edward R. Murrow in “Good Night and Good Luck.”
Clooney, 63, also spoke about his decision to drop his support for former president Joe Biden, before taking aim at the Trump administration. (Photo) But the interview appeared to leave a bad taste in Trump’s mouth, as the POTUS took to Truth Social to set the record straight on his thoughts about the Hollywood actor.
President Trump lambasted a portrait of himself hanging in the Colorado State Capitol Sunday that he claimed was “purposely distorted” – and called on “radical left” Gov. Jared Polis to take it down.
Trump unleashed a seemingly out-of-nowhere tirade on Truth Social about the painting that was first unveiled more than five years ago alongside other presidential portraits during the Republican’s first term in the Oval Office.
“Nobody likes a bad picture or painting of themselves, but the one in Colorado, in the State Capitol, put up by the Governor, along with all other Presidents, was purposefully distorted to a level that even I, perhaps, have never seen before,” Trump raged.

“We’re not going to allow this mass deportation,” New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) said during an appearance on The David Pakman Show, making it clear that state police will not cooperate.
“We’re not going to allow this mass deportation,” Hochul said, explaining that they will cooperate only when there is a warrant or someone is on the terrorism watch list.
“Where we will cooperate — and I did this even under the Biden administration — if you have a warrant, or you know, someone’s on a terrorism watch list or committing crimes in their home country, or committing crimes here, that’s a different category,

Gay Nightclub Bans All MAGA-Related Attire

A popular LGBTQ nightclub in Sacramento, California, is prohibiting patrons who wear MAGA-related attire from entering the establishment.
Badlands, in the city’s Lavender Heights district, announced the policy on social media. Management claimed they were motivated to impose the ban after a patron wore a MAGA hat while in the bar, leading some patrons to complain that they were made to feel uncomfortable and unsafe.
“At Badlands Sacramento, we are committed to creating a space where the LGBTQ+ community and our allies feel safe, welcomed, and respected,” TJ Bruce, the bar’s owner, wrote in a social media post. “Recently, a guest entered the bar wearing MAGA attire,
Washington — Top Trump officials including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Vice President JD Vance allegedly discussed the details of a highly sensitive operation to bomb Houthi targets in Yemen in a group chat that inadvertently included Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor in chief of The Atlantic, Goldberg wrote on Monday.
As a Cabinet meeting unfolded at the White House on Monday afternoon, Goldberg published a piece detailing how he was added to the chat on the encrypted messaging app Signal earlier this month by an account sharing the name of White House national security adviser Mike Waltz. Later, Goldberg said an account named "Pete Hegseth"

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi issued a stern warning to those engaged in government fraud at the most recent Cabinet meeting on Monday. ...Bondi thanked Tesla CEO Elon Musk for uncovering "fraud, waste and abuse" through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative.

President Trump has just removed secret service protection from one the most noxious members of the Biden regime.
As the Washington Post reported, The Secret Service announced on Monday that they had terminated the security detail of former Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas several months before it was set to expire.
The Post also reported that Secret Service protection for Hunter and Ashley Biden officially ended on Monday.

Sparks flew during a closely-watched federal appeals court hearing Monday afternoon — with a Barack Obama-appointed judge tearing into the Trump administration’s plans to mass-deport alleged members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.
Judge Patricia Millett, a member of the bench since 2013, dominated much of the questioning — grilling a Justice Department lawyer over due process concerns for the 260 purported illegal migrants shipped to a notorious El Salvador prison earlier this month under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act.
“There were planeloads of people. There were no procedures in place to notify people,” Millett exclaimed at one point. “Nazis got better treatment under the Alien Enemies Act
After Vermont Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders and New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez discussed the size of their recent political rally in Denver, Colorado, a data expert and entrepreneur raised doubts about the size and supposed grassroots nature of the crowd.

Seruga said that “84% of the devices present had attended 9 or more Kamala Harris rallies, antifa/blm, pro-Hamas, pro-Palestinian protests,” while “31% had attended over 20.” He added that beyond GPS data, he looked

Tren de Aragua migrants must be allowed to appeal their deportations ordered under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act, Judge James Boasberg ruled Monday.
The ruling is likely to be appealed — in part, because President Donald Trump’s deputies say the judiciary has no role when the President invokes the 1798 act to deport aliens amid an invasion or a “predatory incursion” of the United States.
“This is unconstitutional,” responded Stephen Miller, the President’s deputy chief of staff.
The judge’s decision did not challenge the 1798 law itself but argued that migrants can claim they are not covered
