I never figured I'd see there be building tensions between the United States and Europe, but here we are.
To be fair, though, there should have been tensions a long time ago. After all, while many European nations like to consider themselves free societies, they're nothing of the sort. For example, gun rights are all but nonexistent for most people there. That's been the case for a long time.
But now, we're seeing that our European "allies" aren't on the same page elsewhere.
Famously, 60 Minutes did a segment where they followed German law enforcement as they kicked in doors over memes.
You’ve likely heard the phrase, “If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.” Seems like good advice, especially when the hole is of your own making. But watching the Democratic Party’s ongoing meltdown—highlighted by their most recent “off the rails” DNC meeting—it’s clear they’ve lost the shovel, the ladder, and the will to climb out.
Let’s be clear: it’s not hard to fix the Democratic Party’s problems. They know exactly what’s broken. They just don’t want to fix it.
Instead of offering ideas, vision, and solutions, they’ve tripled down on their Trump Derangement Syndrome. A recent DNC event—meant to be a serious discussion of strategy and policy—
The radical left has a pathological hatred of Elon Musk for having the audacity to want to clean up waste and fraud in government. By now, you’ve heard about how these unhinged leftists have taken their hatred of Elon Musk to a criminal level, firebombing Tesla dealerships and vandalizing Tesla vehicles they happen to come across in public. These vandals are learning the hard way that attacking vehicles equipped with 360-degree surveillance cameras isn't exactly a genius move.
A couple of recent examples have me wondering if these lunatics are the dumbest criminals.
But Carson, 50, apparently has no qualms — at least until The Post inquired — about cruising around in one of Musk’s Teslas.
The latest House disbursement records show Carson claimed almost $11,000 of public money last year to pay Tesla Finance LLC for the lease of one of its cars.
Carson was one of more than 40 lawmakers last year who made use of a green scheme that allows them to access public money to lease a vehicle for use in their constituency so long as it is listed by the Environmental Protection Agency as a “low greenhouse gas emitting vehicle,” the Washington Free Beacon reported.
Democrats calling for the resignation of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth got more fodder for their demands when a major media outlet dropped a story that he brought his wife to “sensitive” meetings, adding fuel to the “Signalgate” fire.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Jennifer Hegseth attended a March 6 “high level meeting” with her husband and U.K. Secretary of Defense John Healey, a day after the U.S. said it would suspend sharing intelligence with Ukraine in NATO’s proxy war on Russia. According to the outlet, Mrs. Hegseth also attended a NATO meeting during a trip to Brussels in February,
The Los Angeles Times’ surgeon owner explained why he believes “it’s not a coincidence” that cancer rates were on the rise in the wake of COVID: “Now you understand what keeps me awake at night.”
Propaganda, blanket responses and the rampant spread of actual mis- and disinformation as it relates to COVID were considered by many to be integral in the dramatic distrust of medical professionals that had permeated society. Sitting down with Tucker Carlson, Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong suggested a connection between the shots and cancer that stunned the commentator into reacting, “It sounds like you’re describing what could be like the worst human health crisis in history.”
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is known for steering clear of the traditional, somber attire expected in Washington, DC, playing the suit game by his own rules. But he's also got a second kind of unconventional look — operator casual. It's a different vibe from the conspicuously bright blue suit he wore at the recent NATO summit, drawing criticism, but it shares some similarities to some of his other preferred flair, like flag-linings in his suits, patriotic socks, and a star-spangled pocket square. The style gained momentum during the Global War on Terrorism, or GWOT, though earlier versions date back to
“Real Time” host Bill Maher argued in favor of pulling federal funding from NPR, insisting it has to go private in the age of hyper-partisan politics.
During his online “Overtime” segment, Maher read a viewer question asking the panel to react to the testimony of NPR CEO Katherine Maher (no relation) and PBS CEO Paula Kerger, who defended their outlets to the House of Representatives’ newly-formed Delivering on Government Efficiency (DOGE) subcommittee as GOP lawmakers call to strip them of taxpayer money over their left-wing bias.
It seems that Ukrainian Leader Volodymyr Zelensky has decided on a path that’ll send him clashing with US President Donald J. Trump and his administration.
Besides repeatedly breaching the Trump-brokered partial ceasefire on energy and infrastructure, Zelensky has now made a TV statement that contains at least two very controversial points.
First, he again stated that the hundreds of billions of dollars in US aid to the Kiev regime were NOT ‘loans’, but rather, donations – despite the fact that nothing was ever registered as such.
Secondly, he alerted that Ukraine will NOT sign the reworked rare-earth/mineral exploration deal,
WASHINGTON — The State Department formally announced Friday it is closing the US Agency for International Development (USAID) after the Trump administration prevailed in a federal court case challenging the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency’s (DOGE) cost-cutting actions.
“Foreign assistance done right can advance our national interests, protect our borders, and strengthen our partnerships with key allies. Unfortunately, USAID strayed from its original mission long ago. As a result, the gains were too few and the costs were too high,” Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement.
Ex-DOGE official Jeremy Lewin announced USAID’s shuttering in an internal memo earlier Friday — and said the State Department “intends to assume
A vaccine scientist has reportedly resigned from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) over Robert F. Kennedy Jr. leading the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), claiming “misinformation and lies” were the reason. Someone familiar with the matter, however, says the vaccine regulator was forced out of his position.
In his Friday resignation letter, Dr. Peter Marks alleged that vaccine confidence has been undermined, calling it “irresponsible, detrimental to public health, and a clear danger to our nation’s health, safety, and security,” according to a report by NBC News.
Marks, who has led the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) —
A Delta Air Lines flight and a U.S. Air Force jet almost struck each other in midair on Friday close to the site of a deadly collision between a different commercial jet and a military helicopter near D.C. in January.
Friday’s incident happened outside Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport and involved an Airbus A319 and Air Force T-38 jet, NBC News reported on Saturday.
A flight radar website tracked the moment the two aircraft (seen in yellow) approached each other in flight. Seconds later, they nearly missed colliding as they passed one another, per 13 News Now.
Del Rio Sector Border Patrol agents arrested a criminal alien during a train check 50 miles inland from the Texas-Mexico border. The man has a criminal history that includes a 2012 murder in North Carolina.
Del Rio Sector Border Patrol officials posted a report on X showing the arrest of a previously deported criminal alien. During routine checks, the Uvalde Station agents found the man hiding on a train approximately 50 miles inland from the U.S.-Mexico border. [Tweet]
Officials say the agents took the man into custody during the railway train check and discovered he was a previously deported criminal alien.
A growing number of illegal migrants are smuggling themselves out of the United States to avoid the legal penalties of government deportations, according to multiple witnesses.
“I’ve been a journalist for more than 25 years, but I never thought I would see this — ‘paquetes de retorno'” said Alfredo Corchado, an American journalist in Texas and Mexico and an executive editor at the Puente News Collaborative.
On March 26 he told an audience at the Council on Foreign Relations:
[Coyotes] are now offering packages where [migrant] people can go back home …. [If] you want to go home, or you want to go back to Honduras,
Federal data shows that Immigration and Customs Enforcement has nearly 50,000 detainees as President Trump’s policy of mass deportation of criminal illegals continues.
It is ten thousand more than Joe Biden’s high of nearly 40,000 detentions. Federal data shows that detentions had reached to 47,892 detainees as of March 23. The number exceeds the 39,703 reached during the Biden years. It isn’t yet as high as the 60,000 reached during the first Trump term, but it seems clear that record will be broken.
These are the highest numbers in five years, and it is likely they will soar even higher after proposed additional funding comes through,
SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Two anti-Tesla protests were held in San Antonio as part of what organizers called a “Global Day of Action.” The plan called for demonstrations at 200 Tesla dealerships worldwide on Saturday. Despite being the second largest city in the Lone Star State with a population of nearly 1.5 million residents, less than a dozen protesters showed up at each of the two scheduled Tesla protests in the Alamo City.
Breitbart Texas observed each anti-Elon Musk demonstration, which began before noon at one dealership closer to the heart of the city and another held two hours later at a Tesla dealership several miles away.
Thursday evening, Elon Musk and some of his Department of Government Efficiency team sat for an interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier on “Special Report.” The nerd dream team includes a former rocket scientist, a Houstonian who ran five successful businesses, and the billionaire co-founder of Airbnb. Musk said he thinks the team can cut the federal deficit by $1 trillion within 130 days. He and the other DOGE engineers gave some eye-popping examples of how scam-ridden federal programs have become.

secret trick to getting companies to drop DEI replies
President Donald Trump ended federal DEI programs. The problem is that DEI programs were captured by activists who obsess about victimhood. They divide people more than they empower.
“Diversity, equity and inclusion,” says activist Robby Starbuck, “don’t mean what they pretend to mean.”
Before Trump ended federal DEI programs by executive order, Starbuck ended them at some companies merely by using the power of speech.
Even before, companies were having second thoughts.
Victoria’s Secret changed “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” to “inclusion and belonging.”Now, even woke Disney, despite squandering 270 million shareholder dollars on a moronic new version of “Snow White,” joined the mob of companies dropping DEI programs.

Sure Iran Goes Nuclear Before End of Trump's Ultimatum replies
Now, with Trump's ultimatum delivered on March 7 to Iran— giving the regime a two-month deadline either to give up its nuclear and missile programs or face severe consequences — Beijing and Moscow have simply been accelerating Tehran's efforts to join the nuclear club and to possesses at least six nuclear bombs before Trump's deadline expires.
A meeting between Iranian and Chinese officials in Beijing, followed by Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei's outright rejection of Trump's warnings, could signal a dangerous development:
The disgraced and irrelevant White House Correspondents Association (WHCA) suddenly decided to dump Amber Ruffin, a Trump-hating comedienne no Normal Person has ever heard of.
Although no one from the White House likely had any intention of showing up for the WHCA’s annual, gawdawful, Republican-smearing, self-important dinner featuring all the fascist smugs in the regime media who relentlessly attack the White House with hoaxes, this DEI-Hire Amber Ruffin was already promising to spend the night tearing into the Trump administration as a gang of “murderers” who “feel like [they are] human beings, but … shouldn’t get to feel that way, because [they are] not.”
The price of eggs has taken a sharp plunge as Americans have watched the cost of the grocery staple shift downward since mid-February, Axios reported Friday.
The drop in prices comes as the nation has been grappling with a bird flu outbreak that has affected egg prices and farmers, per Breitbart News. According to the Axios report, “The average wholesale price of a dozen eggs was $3 Friday, down 8% from $3.27 on March 21, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture data released Friday.”
“It’s down 63% from a record $8.15 in the Feb. 21 report,” the article reads. “Inventories are recovering amid a sudden and largely unexplained slowdown
Nearly 5,000 voter registrations in the city of Milwaukee have been legally challenged for irregularities, potential fraud, and blatant violations of state and federal law.
The comprehensive legal filing, submitted by concerned citizens Justin Gavery and Joe Nolan, exposes what many conservatives have warned about for years: a broken election system ripe for abuse.
The challenge, backed by the federal Help America Vote Act (HAVA) and a long list of Wisconsin statutes, calls on the Milwaukee Election Commission (MEC) to investigate and take immediate action on 4,878 questionable voter records.
The Department of Justice sued Thursday night to decertify labor unions representing eight federal agencies. The lawsuit was in response to President Trump's Executive Order titled Exclusions From Federal Labor-Management Relations Programs. This executive order vastly expanded the number of agencies granted an exception to the right to unionize under Title VII of the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978; see Fetterman Sulks, Conservatives Cheer As President Trump Takes Sledgehammer to Public Sector Unions – RedState.
Democrat Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes has brazenly declared that he will not cooperate with federal government efforts to secure elections and prevent illegal aliens from voting.
“I would tell them to go to hell,” he said when asked whether or not he would hand over publicly available voter registration data to the Department of Government Efficiency and the Department of Homeland Security to verify the citizenship of voters.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump signed an executive order earlier this week, mandating voter ID and documentary proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections,
Ukraine will not agree to any deal over its minerals with the U.S. if it endangers Kyiv's aspirations to join the European Union, President Volodymyr Zelensky has said.
Newsweek has contacted the White House via email for comment.
Why It Matters
Zelensky would only agree to a minerals deal that could give his country security guarantees against Russian aggression, but these have not been forthcoming and an agreement that could compromise EU membership adds a further snag.
What To Know
The Ukrainian president told a press briefing on Friday that Kyiv had received a draft agreement on its valuable resources from the U.S.
But a Ukrainian media outlet said the deal may go against
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Saturday that Russia's response to US ceasefire efforts had been inadequate "for too long", and that Moscow needed to be pressured into a peace deal. Both Moscow and Kyiv agreed to the concept of a Black Sea truce following talks with US officials earlier this week, but Russia said it would not enter into force until the West lifted certain sanctions. "For too long now, America's proposal for an unconditional ceasefire has been on the table without an adequate response from Russia," Zelensky said in his evening address.
"There could already be a ceasefire if there was real pressure on Russia,"

Weighs in on Signal Story, Gets Harsh
Lesson in Reality replies
As I wrote on Thursday, Democrats flipped out over the Signal text chain story this week, shouting about accountability, trying to force some of President Donald Trump's national security team out. (Snip) But if there's anyone who shouldn't weigh in on the question of proper communications and classified material, it's Hillary Clinton. So naturally, she had the audacity to do just that, in an essay in The NY Times. If The NY Times had an ounce of shame they wouldn't have run it, but since they don't, they did.
"It's not the hypocrisy that bothers me; it's the stupidity," she said.
The military heroes who came home to lies, harassment, abuse, and hatred are finally receiving overdue recognition, as Saturday is Vietnam Veterans’ Day.
Signed into law by Donald Trump during his first term in 2017, Vietnam Veterans’ Day pay tribute to the brave veterans, both living and deceased, who fought for freedom during the Vietnam War. Vietnam War Commemoration explains the choice of date: “It was chosen to be observed in perpetuity as March 29, 1973 was the day United States Military Assistance Command, Vietnam was disestablished and also the day the last U.S. combat troops departed Vietnam.”
America’s so-called “peace” movement and politicians’ incompetence doomed the free Vietnamese to mass slaughter,
“Ivanka is Donald Trump’s biggest supporter and most trusted advisor,” gushed one woman’s magazine in 2017. And, by all accounts, nobody else in the Trump administration had the president’s ear more than his first daughter, Ivanka Trump. Along with her husband, real estate mogul Jared Kushner, Ivanka was the ultimate power behind the MAGA throne.
Indeed, she was even described as her father’s “eyes and ears.”
During the first Trump term, Ivanka and Jared had their paws all over the inner workings of the federal government. Her hubby spearheaded an attempt to eliminate government waste, telling the Washington Post, “We should have excellence in government.
The Movie That Missed Peak Woke
replies
Society hit “peak woke” sometime before 2025—but Disney’s new live-action Snow White missed the memo. This remake of the 1937 animated classic Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is a tribute to inclusivity, girl power, quirky “theater kids”—really anything but the original’s spirit or plot—and audiences are not enchanted. For those who enjoy a classic princess love story, expect to feel stupid. Lead actress Rachel Zegler considers such plots outdated. In a now-infamous 2022 interview with Extra TV, she slammed the 1937 version, saying, “There’s a big focus on her love story with a guy who literally stalks her. Weird!”
Over a week ago, a video surfaced of a crazed white liberal woman on the New York subway completely melting down over a non-white Trump supporter wearing a MAGA hat.
The footage captured her aggressively harassing the young man, causing a scene, and branding him a racist for no reason other than his choice of headwear. And the best part? She ended up humiliating herself in the process when she chased after him off the subway and wound up face-planting on the platform.
Well, that woman has been identified.
According to a report from the New York Post, she is “an increasingly ‘agitated’ creative director for several luxury brands.”
Do you want your taxpayer dollars funding studies on preventing pregnancy in “transgender boys” or HIV stigma in Thailand? Fortunately, Trump’s Health and Human Services secretary also considers that a waste, so he’s cutting numerous idiotic woke studies.
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and Trump’s new agency heads have uncovered billions of dollars of egregious fraud and waste, including the previously unknown agency whose employees lived “like kings” and the Social Security funding for 150+ year olds. Now HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is looking to streamline the massive, unwieldy, unconstitutional, and harmful federal healthcare agencies. It’s time to cure the woke mind virus. Read on for mind-blowing craziness.
The Real DOGE
replies
It’s not an exaggeration to say that much of the media’s coverage of Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency effort has veered between contempt, ridicule, and sheer hatred. Coverage and commentary have villainized Musk, the maker of climate-friendly electric cars and pioneering space projects, as an evil tech bro bent on destroying the U.S. government. The same coverage and commentary have characterized Musk’s team of assistants as young, reckless, immature gamers bent on … destroying the U.S. government. You want a sample? Look up “DOGE” and “Big Balls.”
A significant part of DOGE narrative-making is driven by Democrats, who early on sensed a serious threat to cherished spending priorities
I’m Gen X. I was pretty young when I earned my PhD, so I’ve been a professor for a long time—over 30 years. If you’re not in academia, or it’s been awhile since you were in college, you might not know this: the students are not what they used to be. Most of our students are functionally illiterate. This is not a joke. By “functionally illiterate” I mean “unable to read and comprehend adult novels Their writing skills are at the 8th-grade level.

Former University of Wisconsin–La Crosse chancellor and professor Joe Gow has filed a lawsuit against the school, seeking reinstatement after school officials dismissed him after discovering that he and his wife had created pornography. Gow was fired twice from UW La Crosse in 2024 over his pornographic content; the school initially removed him from his position and then subsequently dismissed him from the university altogether. Should Gow win the lawsuit, he stands to gain more than $400,000 in damages, including lost wages amounting to nearly $92,000 as well as the value of his unused sick leave, which exceeds $310,000
British police have been accused of acting in a “Kafkaesque” manner after they arrested the parents of a nine-year-old girl over complaints they made about her primary school on WhatsApp.
Following a five week investigation, in January, Hertfordshire Police arrested Maxie Allen and Rosalind Levin in front of their daughter and placed in cell on suspicion of malicious communications, harassment, and causing a nuisance on school property over comments they made online about the Cowley Hill Primary School in Borehamwood, The Times of London reported on Saturday.
The dispute between the couple and the school is said to have began in May of 2024 when Allen questioned the process
“This is NPR.”
Unfortunately for National Public Radio, that proved all too true this week. In one of the most cringeworthy appearances in Congress, Katherine Maher imploded in a House hearing on the public funding of the liberal radio outlet.
By the end of her series of contradictions and admissions, Maher had made the definitive case for ending public funding for NPR and state-subsidized media.
Many of us have written for years about the biased reporting at NPR. Not all of this criticism was made out of hostility toward the outlet — many honestly wanted NPR to reverse course and adopt more balanced coverage. That is why,
Wisconsin’s pivotal Supreme Court race is in its home stretch. With the April 1 election date rapidly approaching, conservative candidate Brad Schimel has been hot on the campaign trail.
The weekend before the election, he is set to make stops across the state, encouraging conservative voters to show up like they did for President Trump in November. (snip)Schimel’s opponent, the notoriously pro-abortion liberal candidate Susan Crawford, has focused much of her campaign on attacking Schimel. The cornerstone of her slander was an allegation that Schimel had not successfully processed a backlog of rape kits, which was determined to be a lie.
Judge James Boasberg has officially become the poster boy for lawfare. If there’s a left-wing plot to rubber-stamp or a political enemy to take down, his gavel is always ready to swing. The man’s a busy bee. (snip) In a recent piece, we gave him a name that fits: the “Antifa Judge.” (snip)Boasberg’s most absurd stunt was blocking the removal of violent Tren de Aragua gang members by claiming they don’t meet the legal threshold for deportation under existing wartime authority. His excuse was that “TdA” isn’t a foreign government, and there’s no war. Well, that weak legal argument just collapsed under the weight of some pretty damning new intelligence.
My first article for American Thinker, on 12-13-23, was The police won’t protect you; you’re on your own. It was about Castle Rock v. Gonzales (US Supreme Court, 2005).
On June 22, 1999 at 5:00 PM in Castle Rock, Colorado, Jessica Gonzalez’s three daughters, 7, 9, and 10, were playing in her yard. Violating a custody agreement and restraining order her estranged husband took the girls without her knowledge. At 7:30 PM Jessica called the police. She showed them copies of the custody agreement and the restraining order and begged them to return her daughters
WASHINGTON—The transcript of former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) counterintelligence chief James Angleton’s testimony to the Senate Church Committee in 1976 was discovered in the locked stacks of the National Archives by The Epoch Times.
Long sought by historians, the 72 pages of transcription from the hearing remained classified and hidden from the public for nearly 50 years.
The committee, chaired by Sen. Frank Church, informally known by his surname, was founded to investigate intelligence abuses by federal agencies.
From the New York Times Sunday article, “As the Left Looks to 2028, It Waits on Ocasio-Cortez’s Big Decision.”
As Democrats find… their party’s popularity at a generational low, progressives are also staring down the prospect of a post-Bernie future… The 83-year-old Mr. Sanders has signaled that he does not intend to run for president again. The question now is who will lead the network he built from scratch into the next presidential election…
Virtually everyone interviewed said there was one clear leader for the job: Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York.
Hoo, boy.
The Democratic Party is polling about 27 percent approval -- and sinking.
In 2024, it lost the White House, the House of Representatives, the Senate, and both the popular vote and the Electoral College, 312-226.
In 2024, Donald Trump won over 46% of the Hispanic vote, including a majority of Hispanic men. Trump also likely captured 26% of the Black male vote, doubling his 2020 total.
In 2024, Trump increased his 2020 vote total in every single state. And he won 89% of all the counties in the United States. On every issue, Democrats sided with strident leftist movements rather than the majority of Americans.

Lose a Few Pounds: ‘You Look Like You
Ate Governor Morrisey’ replies
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. had a little fun at the expense of West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey (R), casually suggesting he could lose a few pounds. RFK delivered the tough love message at an event in Martinsburg, West Virginia, on Friday.
"The first time I saw him, I said, 'You look like you ate Governor Morrisey,'" he said, eliciting laughter from the crowd as Morrisey sat just outside of camera view to his left.
Kennedy then said he would get Morrisey into shape as his personal trainer. And as any good personal trainer would do, he warned of public shaming if the governor didn't adhere to
Counter-protests organized by Trump supporters are expected at several of the anti-Elon Musk “Tesla Takedown Global Day of Action” protests at Tesla dealerships across the country on Saturday.
Democratic Party politicians and progressive activists are trying to ruin Musk’s electric vehicle business over his leadership of DOGE, President Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency aimed at reforming and streamlining the federal government.
A Trump supporter in Columbus, Ohio is organizing a peaceful counter-protest Saturday afternoon starting at 4 p.m. at the Tesla dealership in the Easton shopping district in suburban Columbus.

Harris’ failed campaign replies
Kamala Harris’ stepdaughter Ella Emhoff was so “sheltered” by her stepmom’s failed presidential campaign that when she volunteered, staffers pre-screened her cold calls to make sure no one said anything mean to her.
“They set me up for positive calls because they didn’t want someone to know they were talking to me and then say some absolutely heinous stuff,” Emhoff, 25, dished during an episode of the “Girls Rewatch” podcast.
The lefty activist daughter of former second gentleman Doug Emhoff admitted cold-calling was “intimidating,” and lamented that other Harris volunteers would be asked questions such as, “Who’s the man behind this?”
May your enemies lack common sense, self-awareness, and the ability to learn from their mistakes or recognize their own interests.
If Confucius did not say anything quite like that, he should have.
In a clip posted Friday to the social media platform X, Democratic Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, the comically overmatched and often creepy 2024 running mate to former Vice President Kamala Harris, told what looked like a small gathering of supporters that Democrats needed to form a “shadow government” in response to President Donald Trump’s administration.
“We see one of the first things they do is try and restrict the vote,”
We write quite a bit about the irrepressible Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) here, not just because he's an incredibly knowledgeable person and solid conservative but also because of his wit and wisdom, both of which are in short supply in Washington, DC these days. He also comes across as a genuinely good and sincere guy, something else you don't see much of anymore among the power players on Capitol Hill.
For instance, on Valentine's Day, a short, sweet, and to-the-point classic Kennedy video resurfaced on social media, showing him cleaning a gun and talking about love.
The message? "Folks, I believe that love is the answer, but you oughta own a handgun
SALT LAKE CITY—Utah became the first state to prohibit flying LGBTQ+ pride flags at schools and all government buildings after the Republican governor announced he was allowing a ban on unsanctioned flag displays to become law without his signature.
Gov. Spencer Cox, who made the announcement late Thursday night, said he continues to have serious concerns with the policy but chose not to reject it because his veto would likely be overridden by the Republican-controlled Legislature.
Starting May 7, state or local government buildings will be fined $500 a day for flying any flag other than the United States flag,
President Trump doesn't shy away from media questions, no matter how difficult they might be. You won't hear him deliver responses in political-speak. And you won't hear him say he'll address the matter after speaking to his aides. He's very upfront and, unlike his political adversaries, talks like a normal human being.
But when a reporter on Friday asked him the one question that has confounded countless Democrats, media members, college students, and even one Supreme Court Justice, all one could do was hold their breath.
Would he be able to answer? Or would he get tripped up like so many before him?
"What is a woman?" one reporter wondered.
A still-grieving mom whose daughter was allegedly raped and murdered by an illegal immigrant ripped the judges who put the brakes on President Trump’s deportation flights — and their Democrat enablers who’d rather “harbor” criminals than protect victims.
Patty Morin’s daughter, Rachel, a 37-year-old mother-of-five, was found dumped in a drain near a scenic trail in Maryland 18 months ago and an illegal immigrant from El Salvador has been charged with her murder. His trial is due to start with jury selection Tuesday.
Morin, 64, insisted this week to The Post the deportations must continue — and said she’s solidly in Trump’s corner as he takes the fight to the courts
Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard has revoked former President Joe Biden’s security clearance, as well as clearances and access to classified information for Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, and more.
Gabbard made the call per President Donald Trump’s March 22 memorandum stating that it is “no longer in the national interest” to have those individuals, as well as several formerly high-ranking Biden administration officials, family members, and other figures, to have classified material.

Elon Musk has a lot to worry about. He has 13 children. He is the CEO and founder of numerous companies, most famously of course SpaceX and Tesla. He just helped rescue two astronauts from the International Space Station. Meanwhile he’s head honcho at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and is in charge of trimming the fat and fraud from the bloated, behemoth federal government.
Whoa. That’s a lot. Even with all that to think about, however, Musk has two worries above all others, and the first one is the declining global birth rate:
"Well, there's a lot of things that I suppose that I worry about.
Chairwoman of the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) ) has publicly accused NBC of withholding critical evidence in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
During a recent interview on Fox News, Rep. Luna claimed that an unreleased video, which allegedly depicts Lee Harvey Oswald away from the infamous Texas School Book Depository at the time of Kennedy’s assassination, is in the possession of NBC News.
According to Rep. Luna, this video shows Oswald near JFK’s limousine when the shots were fired in Dallas, a claim that, if verified,
When a tiny band of self-proclaimed satanists announced they would hold a “black mass” in front of the Kansas State Capitol, they wanted to inflame Christians. And they did, but it was not with the type of fire they intended. They managed to galvanize thousands of Christians with the fire of the Holy Spirit.
Across the state, Catholics and their fellow Christians spent more time praying on Friday than they would have normally. Special masses and holy hours were held in Catholic churches in every corner of Kansas in reparation for the sacrilege planned at the Capitol.
Billionaire Tesla CEO Elon Musk has drawn the ire of Democrats due to his role in the Trump administration‘s efforts to cut waste in the federal government, with some New York lawmakers targeting his company with a new piece of legislation. Tesla has been the target of protests and attacks from Democrats in recent months as their opposition to Musk has intensified. In the New York legislature, Democratic state Sen. Patricia Fahy introduced legislation Wednesday that would take away Tesla’s permits to run five showrooms in the state and open it up to other electric vehicle manufacturers seeking to sell
California Attorney General Rob Bonta issued a "consumer alert" in the wake of its bankruptcy regarding the "trove of sensitive consumer data 23andMe has amassed." Bonta reminded Californians that they have the right to direct the company to delete their genetic data.
What about individual data is so important? Why should people worry that they’ve left a spot of saliva as a DNA sequence in some company database? Surely they are just a drop of water in an endless sea. But as the forensic DNA revolution showed, even drops in the ocean can be told apart. Perhaps our attitude to individual inconsequence has changed.

New Mineral Draft That Would Recognize
US Support As Loans replies
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said during a Friday press conference that he won't recognize past US military aid as loans, after Washington sent a new draft of the minerals deal to Kiev. "Ukraine received a new agreement project from the U.S. regarding mineral resources, which is an entirely different document from the previous framework agreement," said Zelensky, adding "Ukraine will not recognize U.S. military aid as debt."
"We are grateful for the support, but this is not a credit, and we will not allow it," Zelensky continued. The Ukrainian president also said that they are unwilling to negotiate with Russian President Vladimir Putin "or with someone who would represent Russia,"
It was the perfect opening. Politically, it was the equivalent of grilling a big, fat, juicy steak in the middle of the African savannah — and then being mystified by the sudden appearance of drooling predators.
C’mon, folks — use your heads! With a power vacuum that big and that tempting, it was only a matter of time.
The Democratic Party is in total disarray. Nobody’s in charge! The Obama-Biden cabal has left the building, Pelosi has health issues, and Schumer is struggling to stave off a rebellion. It’s complete and utter chaos.

This Bret Baier sit-down with the entire DOGE team, fearless leader and all, is really something to behold. All I can say is it's a shame there's not another venue besides Fox because it will also be ignored because of Fox and the ideological purity of the opposition.
What a tragedy that is, for surely among those who reflexively scoff, there are a few who still retain some reasoning faculties that could be activated if only one's information can access them.
The entire thirty minutes is here when you have time. But I want to hit the highlights if you haven't seen them, so that you're aware, amazed at

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday evening abolishing union rights at more than two dozen federal agencies and offices, in a major expansion of the administration’s efforts to shrink the federal government.
The White House cited national security concerns for terminating workers’ ability to bargain collectively, but the order applies at agencies with both direct and indirect links to national security.
Every day, I read something new and even more ghastly about what's going on in German 'democracy' since the 'national election.' And every time, all I can think is thank GOD those men 250 years ago put the wheels in motion to set up our system the way they did, vice a standard European parliamentary government.
We have had our share of sneks, crooks, authoritarians, and mushrooms aplenty, Lord knows.
But watching the coalescing of forces in the newly seated German government move against their legally elected opposition and against the express will of voters is a sight to behold.
Terrifying to think how close we came to it here -
