The Trump administration is cracking down on radical, anti-American foreigners by revoking their visas. The left claims such efforts are a violation of free speech rights. But no foreigner has the “right” to be in America, let alone come here and espouse radical anti-American and anti-West values.(snip)Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Thursday that visas are meant for students to “study and get a degree, not to become a social activist that tears up our university campuses. And if we’ve given you a visa and then you decide to do that, we’re going to take it away.”

Jon Ossoff, the nation’s most endangered Senate Democrat, sees a path for reelection in a state President Donald Trump won in 2024 and at a time when Democrats are suffering rock-bottom approval ratings. He plans to go all out against Trump. “I have never seen opposition energy like this — from dyed-in-the-wool Democrats to moderate Republicans,” Ossoff told CNN before making a rather bold prediction at a time when his party is still reeling from the fall elections. “The energy and opposition, I believe, is building toward a landslide victory in 2026,” the Georgia Democrat said. “A landslide victory for
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said he was “very angry” and “* off” when Russian President Vladimir Putin criticized the credibility of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s leadership, adding that the comments were “not going in the right location.”
Agence France-Presse reported that Putin on Friday called for a transitional government to be put in place in Ukraine, which could effectively push out Zelenskyy.
“If Russia and I are unable to make a deal on stopping the bloodshed in Ukraine, and if I think it was Russia’s fault — which it might not be — but if I think it was Russia’s fault,
WASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump threatened Iran on Sunday with bombing and secondary tariffs if Tehran did not come to an agreement with Washington over its nuclear program.
In Trump's first remarks since Iran rejected direct negotiations with Washington last week, he told NBC News that U.S. and Iranian officials were talking, but did not elaborate. "If they don't make a deal, there will be bombing," Trump said in a telephone interview. "It will be bombing the likes of which they have never seen before."
"There's a chance that if they don't
A group of Columbia University grads tore up their diplomas on campus over the weekend to protest the school’s cooperation with the Trump administration, and the feds’ detention of former student and anti-Israel demonstration leader Mahmoud Khalil.
The rally, which took place during the Ivy League university’s annual Alumni Day celebration Saturday, included students as well as a few dozen graduates of Columbia’s School of International and Public Affairs — with the crowd chanting, “Free Palestine!”

The Federal Communications Commission Enforcement Bureau has launched an investigation into hiring practices at Disney and ABC to ensure neither is violating equal employment opportunity regulations through “DEI discrimination.”
“I want to ensure that Disney and ABC have not been violating FCC equal employee opportunity regulations by promoting invidious forms of [diversity, equity and inclusion] discrimination,” FCC Chairman Brendan Carr said Thursday in a letter to Walt Disney Company Chief Executive Officer Bob Iger.
(X) The FCC investigation is to ensure Disney and ABC have ended “any and all discriminatory initiatives in substance, not just in name,” Carr said.
He also wants to determine whether Disney’s actions complied
Washington— A tree that’s nearly two centuries old will be removed from the White House grounds because it’s deteriorating, President Donald Trump said Sunday.
The southern magnolia stands near the curved portico on the south side of the building. It’s where foreign leaders are often welcomed for ceremonial visits, and where the president departs to board the Marine One helicopter.
According to the National Park Service website, “folklore tells us” that President Andrew Jackson brought the tree’s seeds from his home near Nashville, Tennessee. It was apparently planted in honor of his wife Rachel, who died shortly before he took office in 1829.
If PBS felt any concern about the hit its reputation for balance took at Wednesday’s devastating DOGE hearing on Capitol Hill, Thursday’s PBS News Hour didn’t show it.
On the day after its CEO Paula Kerger testified to Congress that they were fair and balanced, PBS turned to the leftist group Media Matters for America. The News Hour has never invited the Media Research Center for an interview about the state of the media since the MRC was founded in 1987.
How leftist is PBS? In the face of overwhelming evidence of its leftist political agenda, PBS shamelessly turned to another discredited leftist organization as it claims to be unbiased.
The Republican Party of New Mexico said an arsonist targeted its headquarters in Albuquerque on Sunday.
The perpetrators set fire to the building and vandalized it with spray paint, CBS News reported.The entryway to the party's headquarters was destroyed early Sunday morning, the party said in a statement. The party alleged that the words "ICE=KKK" had also been spraypainted, calling it a "horrific attack, fueled by hatred and intolerance."
Amy Barela, the chairwoman of the Republican Party of New Mexico, said in a statement that no one was harmed in the incident.
If Democrats want to keep losing, their approach when it comes to Tesla and Elon Musk is a good example of how to keep doing exactly that.
The takes by some of these people about DOGE and Musk are just delusional. That's not even counting the craziness of the Tesla terrorism, the folks that go beyond "protesting" to attacking Teslas or Tesla facilities. They had a big protest at the Columbus, Ohio, Tesla showroom on Saturday. I wrote about it in my story about supporters coming out of Elon Musk and the company across the country.
The White House reportedly has plans to take over the seating chart in the briefing room, a power once held by the far-left White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA).
Currently, the seating arrangement is controlled by the WHCA, and conservative outlets like The Gateway Pundit, One America News Network, and Real America’s Voice are pushed to the sides of the room where we can only hope to catch the press secretary’s eye for a question.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced last month that the WHCA will no longer hold its iron grip over deciding which outlets get to participate in the coveted
Dishonest media-alligators undermined President Trump’s first Presidency with bogus charges of Russian collusion. Corrupt deep state-alligators fabricated allegations to defeat his re-election in 2020. Partisan prosecutor-alligators in New York and Georgia brought bogus charges in trying to derail his election last year.
Overreaching judge-alligators in some of the federal district courts now seek to undermine his national security policies – an area that the Constitution largely reserves to the President.
Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow said on this week’s broadcast of FNC’s “Sunday Morning Futures” that The Atlantic Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg was a “fabulist” who “acted like he had war secrets” when he was added to a Signal chat among senior national security officials.
Host Maria Bartiromo said, “Have you ever had an email where someone’s number is embedded in that email? I’m told what happened was during the campaign, Michael Waltz was talking with his communications person because the communications person was being contacted by Goldberg at The Atlantic who was complaining about military families. So the communications person says to Michael Waltz, can you talk to Goldberg about this?
Barron Trump was spotted Sunday afternoon sporting a Rolex as he arrived at Trump Tower in New York.
The recent birthday boy, who turned 19 on March 20, appeared to be wearing a gold Daytona model of the luxury watch, which can cost about $50,000. (Photo) The New York University freshman wore the bling as he and his mother, first lady Melania Trump, entered the Midtown skyscraper — after going nearly a month without being photographed by the press.
Barron, who is studying business at the nearby college, is known to informally advise his father on politics and policy despite his youth.
Democrat Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet disagreed with California Gov. Gavin Newsom Sunday, acknowledging the party’s brand problems but blaming states like California and New York and their “educated elites.” Newsom appeared on “Real Time With Bill Maher” Friday evening, stating that his party’s brand was “toxic,” adding how Democrats “talk down” to voters. On “Meet the Press,” host Kristen Welker pressed the senator about Newsom’s comment, asking if he agreed with the California governor about their party’s brand image.
A 13-year-old boy battling incurable brain cancer is on a quest to set a Guinness World Record for being sworn in by 1,000 law enforcement agencies across the country.
Devarjaye “DJ” Daniel, whose dream is to become a police officer, was thrust into the national spotlight when he was sworn in by President Donald Trump as a Secret Service agent before a joint session of Congress March 4.
Daniel has already been sworn in by 914 agencies, making the record-setting dream a near reality.
He already holds multiple records, including having the most keys to the city and the most “proclamation days.”
Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) told Sirius XM’s Breitbart News Saturday that his legislation, the “No Rogue Rulings Act,” would be a “first step” in reining in “rogue actors” by limiting federal district court judges’ power to issue nationwide injunctions.
Issa’s appearance on the program comes as federal district judges, like Judge James Boasberg in Washington, DC, have ruled against key Trump executive orders with nationwide injunctions.
“It’s a first step, and I tell everyone, we’re going to be taking many steps to rein in these rogue actors,” Issa told Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle. “This particular one limits their ability to do nationwide injunctions.”
Media attacks on the Trump administration due to the Atlantic‘s leak of Signal messages do “not seem tied to evaluations of Mr. Trump overall,” according to a CBS News poll that found the president’s approval rating to be 50 percent.
The poll, released Sunday morning, surveyed more than 2,600 Americans from across the country on March 27 and 28: [Tweet]
While the vast majority of respondents said last week’s Signal incident — in which National Security Adviser Mike Waltz accidentally added the Atlantic editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg, into an encrypted group chat where plans to attack the Houthis were discussed — was “serious,”
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) is facing renewed backlash after a resurfaced video shows her making a racist attack about Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) and his family during a June interview on The Breakfast Club podcast with Charlamagne tha God.
Crockett egregiously accused Donalds of being “whitewashed” because he is married to a White woman. “I feel like they give him his talking points, and he’s like, yes, massa, I got it,” she said.
The two also attacked Donalds and lied about his past comments on black families, accusing him of saying “life was better under Jim Crow.” However, Donalds never said this.
Numerous leftists have been caught keying Tesla cars and Cybertrucks amid nonstop media attacks against Elon Musk.
However, some of the attacks against Tesla owners have become violent.
A 61-year-old woman driving a Tesla was boxed in by a male driver and beaten by him while she was sitting in her car.
The violent attack took place in Flagstaff, Arizona, last week.
The victim, who wished to remain anonymous and was referred to as “Susan,” told AZ Family that she was appalled when a motorist chased her, boxed her in and began beating her through an open car window.
A cocky, violent anti-DOGE agitator picked a fight with the wrong guy at a protest that has since gone viral on social media.
Comedian Danny Mullen posted a video on YouTube showing his activities at a sizeable anti-Tesla demonstration in Palo Alto, California earlier this month. He showed up to the protest wearing a DOGE shirt and pro-Trump hat, seeing these individuals as perfect targets for his comedy routine.
Throughout the video, Mullen provides commentary explaining his thought process during his time in enemy territory.
At first, the protesters reacted to his presence peacefully, with most understanding that Mullen was trolling them.
It's crunch time in Wisconsin, folks.
Conservatives in Wisconsin are probably already keenly aware of the critical judicial election that will be happening Tuesday in the Badger State. For that matter, plenty of people on the left are also keenly aware of it. It's a critical race, we need every single warm body to turn out to vote for the conservative Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate, Brad Schimel. Wisconsin's former Governor Scott Walker, on Thursday, penned a column in the Washington Times explaining precisely why.
Judges are trying to block the will of the majority of us who voted for President Trump. The outcome of the Supreme Court race in Wisconsin
President Donald Trump is not only having to face Democrats who want to stand in the way of his agenda but activist judges who are stepping on his ability to exercise the power of the presidency over the Executive Branch.
It's had some on the right calling for answers as to how to deal with the judges who want to tell the administration who they are allowed to deport and who even they can fire when it's the president who controls the Executive Branch. Trump may win some of these issues on appeal, but in the meantime, Democrats are trying to slow things down by this delaying tactic.
If you feel there’s something different about the second Trump administration, you’re not alone: many have noted that he and his team have brought a more focused, more effective, and frankly more seasoned effort than the first time the incredibly successful real estate mogul and reality television star was able to bring during his first go at the job. He had four long years to study, and boy, did he learn. Not only did he come in with guns blazing—and a multitude of ready-to-go executive orders undoing the disastrous policies and anti-American vision of the Biden administration—but he had an all-star lineup of Cabinet members ready to be confirmed.
Actor and bombastic podcaster Michael Rapaport has trained his sights on socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), suggesting that the Jewish politician’s ancestors “would be disgusted” by his opposition to arming Israel in its current conflict with Hamas — pointedly invoking the deaths of his Polish relatives in the Holocaust.
Sanders set off the veteran character actor with a post Thursday on social media, accusing Israel of “ethnic cleansing” in response to the Hamas terror attack on October 7, 2023, that saw hundreds of Israelis taken hostages by marauders who indiscriminately killed civilians, including children, and sexually assaulted many women.
With one stroke, Congress can deliver on three of President Trump’s biggest priorities: Discourage illegal immigration, reform a broken welfare program and save taxpayers billions.
It can all be done if Republicans roll back Medicaid for illegal aliens in their coming reconciliation bill.
As we show in our new report for the Foundation for Government Accountability, migrants have been allowed and even encouraged to abuse Medicaid — at enormous cost to Americans.
Medicaid was created for low-income citizens and lawful residents. But for more than a decade, and especially under Joe Biden, states have corrupted the program by letting it cover illegal immigrants, too.
Mark Carney has been accused of plagiarising his University of Oxford thesis.
On Friday, the Canadian prime minister and former governor of the Bank of England was forced to deny allegations he copied 10 passages of text for his 1995 doctorate.
The allegations are a blow to his election campaign. He faces a knife-edge vote on April 28 after calling a snap election against the backdrop of an aggressive trade war with Donald Trump.
Iran rejected talks with the United States on Sunday, as President Donald Trump threatened to bomb the country as “never seen before” to prevent the terror-supporting state from becoming a nuclear-armed power.
Trump said in early March that he had sent a letter to the so-called Islamic Republic’s “Supreme Leader,” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, proposing direct talks over Iran’s nuclear program in order to prevent a military confrontation. After Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen continued to launch missiles at Israel, as well as the U.S. Navy and international shipping in the Red Sea, Trump said that Iran would be held directly accountable for the actions of its proxy.

Officially getting a little bit worried about our favorite bald Ragin' Cajun from the South, James Carville. I know that as we all grow older, we start to lose a step or two, maybe three, but in James' case he seems to be on a bit of a roller coaster right now in terms of his political prognostications. I don't know if I can live in a world where a Carville is not spot-on.
I can actually, because he got lucky one time in 1992, and it's been pretty much downhill ever since.

Constitutional Crisis
replies
Perhaps you have not been paying attention over the last few weeks and months, or maybe you are one of the masses who just do not care. However, in case there is a glimmer of interest, you need to know that there is a dramatic and real constitutional crisis facing our nation that has tentacles that will reach far beyond what many may think is possible.
While the U.S. Constitution, our nation’s basic document, intended to create co-equal branches of government ripe with checks and balances to offset extraordinary power in any individual segment, the reality of that aspiration has never quite been accomplished.
Gratitude vs. Attitude

One of the greatest and most sublime of human traits is showing gratitude.
I spoke recently with a friend who has been doing a lot of fighting in Gaza. He expressed his great appreciation to President Donald Trump for all of the material that the IDF has been receiving since the president returned to office. D9 tractors, bombs,F-35s, additional weaponry, and most importantly international support. “No humanitarian aid has entered for weeks and nobody says a word because the Trump administration has our back.” And he is right. For weeks, no trucks have entered Gaza and there is still enough food for the residents.
A newly surfaced video captures Democratic Congresswoman Debbie Dingell (D-Mich.) and other prominent Democrats in an unguarded moment, discussing their plans to protest President Donald Trump. The footage, which has sparked controversy, shows Dingell and her colleagues candidly strategizing about disrupting Trump’s appearances, revealing a level of animosity that many voters might find unsettling.
A video from a meeting at the Washtenaw County Democratic Party caught liberal politicians speaking candidly about ways they can protest Trump and his policies. The “Democratic Responses to Trump’s Attacks & Lessons Learned from 2024 MI House Races” meeting was intended to rally Democrats and coordinate efforts to counteract the Trump administration’s policies.
It’s not entirely clear if he was real or fictional. Most historians believe he was probably real, but it’s tricky to verify: The legend of Lucius Cincinnatus was (enthusiastically) retold in Titus “Livy” Livius’ book, the “History of Rome,” which was written a few decades before Christ. Unquestionably, Livius’ book included real, verifiable, historic events, but it also included the mythology of the Trojan War and tales of magical twins suckled by a she-wolf.
But the legend of Lucius Cincinnatus still endures. He’s even the namesake of an American city in southwest Ohio. And his story continues to influence kings, queens, emperors, and (yes) even U.S. presidents.
The New York Times editorial board just discovered what conservatives have been saying for years: the Democratic Party is completely out of touch with everyday Americans.
It’s a stunning rebuke from a paper that typically carries the water for Dems. The Times finally admitted the obvious: Democrats' obsession with identity politics and their "scolding, censorious posture" have driven voters straight into Republicans' arms.
“In the aftermath of this comprehensive defeat, many party leaders have decided that they do not need to make significant changes to their policies or their message,” the editorial board writes. “They have instead settled on a convenient explanation for their plight.”
One of the virtues of being a mentally healthy person in an honest society is that you don’t have to deal with cognitive dissonance. That is, there are no moments when you are forced to accept two entirely conflicting facts or values. Instead, you have the mental freedom to work through the conflict and come out with an honest evaluation.
When people lack that honesty and liberty, the only refuge is delusions and heartfelt lies to themselves. That shows up in a very funny video from February that’s starting to gain deserved traction.
Richard Chamberlain, the Emmy-nominated actor and 1960s heartthrob who rocketed to fame in the TV medical drama 'Dr. Kildare' and starred in the mini-series 'Shogun' and 'The Thorn Birds' has died at the age of 90, publicist Harlan Boll said. Chamberlain died late on Saturday in Hawaii from complications from a stroke, according to Boll. 'Our beloved Richard is with the angels now,' Martin Rabbett, Chamberlain's longtime partner, said in a statement to Variety. 'He is free and soaring to those loved ones before us. How blessed were we to have known such an amazing and loving soul.
President Donald Trump said Saturday he doesn’t care if automakers hike prices because of his tariffs. In fact, he encouraged them to.
Asked by NBC News’ Kristen Welker in a phone interview about whether he pressured automakers to avoid raising prices after his 25% tariffs on imported cars and parts go into effect, Trump denied that he told CEOs to control costs.“No, I never said that,” Trump told Welker. “I couldn’t care less if they raise prices, because people are going to start buying American cars.”

and knowledge replies
A leftist characteristic is the willingness to bend reality to political ends—and nobody does it better than the credentialed class. Indeed, the more credentialed, the better at bending. Two examples will suffice: The first is a PolySci major insisting that women are every bit as fast and strong as men, which could be laughed off by saying she’s not a science major. However, the second example is a man with a Ph.D. in “Molecular and Cell Biology” denying that race exists.
Democrat Pennsylvania State Sen. Lindsey Williams [snip] defended men in women’s sports by insisting that “female bodies are just as strong, fast, and capable as male bodies.”

French Firms replies
France has accused the Trump administration of interfering in the decisions of private French companies after the U.S. embassy said the American federal government would no longer work with businesses with so-called diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies.
In addition to taking on DEI at home, the Trump White House is apparently intent on taking on the woke agenda abroad as well.
According to a report in the French newspaper of record, Le Figaro, the U.S. embassy in Paris informed several companies in France that it would be ending business relationships with firms that engage in discrimination.
President Donald Trump has begun his war against Democrat-dominated, left-wing California, according to the New York Times, enacting six policies against the state in the space of just 24 hours last week.
The Trump administration waited to take on Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), initially, because of the devastation of the January 7 wildfires in Los Angeles. However, that did not stop Newsom from spending $50 million to fight Trump, even while asking for federal aid.

WebMD — the last place any sane person would turn to for medical advice — has come out with a whopper of a doozy of a COVID shot propaganda piece, befitting more 2021 than 2025. With all we now know — objectively, quantitatively — about the unprecedented dangers of the shots coupled with the minimal, infinitesimally tiny risk that the COVID infection poses to children, one might expect a least a modicum of nuance from WebMD.
But no.

A woman who went viral for having a public meltdown on the New York City subway over a fellow passenger’s “Make America Great Again” hat and falling flat on her face while chasing the Trump supporter has been identified as 55-year-old Alberta Testanero, an “extremely liberal” luxury-brand specialist.
Testanero went viral after a video surfaced on social media of her berating a supporter of President Donald Trump, calling him racist multiple times, before wiping out on the subway platform as she chased the MAGA hat-clad man, trying to snatch his red cap.
The Trump administration is ramping up efforts to hold sanctuary cities accountable, preparing to withhold federal funds from municipalities that refuse to cooperate with federal immigration laws. This bold move signals a firm stance against local governments that prioritize illegal immigration over the safety and security of their communities. By cutting off funding, the administration aims to communicate that cities that flout federal immigration policies will not be subsidized at taxpayers' expense. This action is a significant step in the Trump administration’s ongoing battle to enforce immigration laws and uphold the rule of law nationwide.
The anti-Tesla radicals had their big protests on Saturday at various Tesla dealerships across the country.
But, lo and behold, Tesla is still standing, and DOGE is still in operation. S,o what did they actually achieve with these actions? They pushed a message in New York City about "Burn a Tesla, Save a Democracy" and other disturbing things. But they also drew many to come out and support Tesla and DOGE. They brought out one guy in Virginia who said he was never going to vote for a Democrat again after seeing how they had been behaving lately — and he voted Democrat for 25 years, he said.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court election on Tuesday is considered the most important race of 2025, with wide-ranging consequences for both the battleground state and the nation.
The race is between Trump-backed Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge and former Wisconsin Attorney General Brad Schimel and Dane County Circuit Judge Susan Crawford, who previously represented left-wing groups like Planned Parenthood as an attorney and is endorsed by groups like the pro-abortion EMILY’s list. Early voting is ongoing through March 30.The race follows a blowout Wisconsin Supreme Court election in 2023, in which liberal-leaning Janet Protasiewicz beat conservative candidate Dan Kelly and flipped the balance of the court to 4-3 majority liberal.
In the middle of a record-setting afternoon for the Yankees, the tweaked bat design that helped contribute to their nine home runs spent some time in the spotlight, too.
Shortstop Anthony Volpe and second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. are two players using a design where the barrel is placed in a nontraditional spot on the bat, according to YES Network, and both players homered during the Yankees’ 20-9 rout of the Brewers on Saturday — with Volpe even launching his just a few pitches after the segment.

Why Greenland Is Vital
replies
When news first broke in 2019 that the Trump administration was exploring the idea of purchasing Greenland—or at least forging a strategic alliance—the chattering classes nearly herniated themselves from laughter. Late-night comedians, blue-check Twitter “experts,” and self-appointed geopolitical geniuses on cable panels all united in synchronized mockery. “Greenland? Is he starting a collection?” they joked, smug in their ignorance. But the laughter only exposed how unserious these voices are when it comes to actual statecraft.
Because here’s the truth: Greenland is vital. And President Trump—mocked though he
When you sit down to write a column and the first word you write nearly breaks the “F” key, then you have to continually erase it, well, it’s a way to tell you’re in a mood.

How depraved must a group of people be to have Hillary Clinton step forward as the person to speak out on this so-called “Signal scandal”? That’s like hiring OJ Simpson to be the spokesmodel for your battered women’s shelter or Bill Clinton to be your marriage counselor. Hell, considering it’s Hillary,
Exactly one week ago, I wrote in these pages about the release of American George Glezmann from imprisonment by the Taliban in Afghanistan. Readers might recall his gobsmacked reaction on the airport tarmac, when he was asked to comment on the situation, then his boundless gratitude to President Trump and everyone involved in getting him home after two years poured out. It's worth watching again. I also suggested near the end of the story that "considering the track record over just a few short months, this likely won't be the last U.S. hostage who Team Trump brings home." But I didn't dare dream that would happen again so soon.
Maybe the third time will be the charm.
Columbia University obviously subscribes to the belief that Friday night is the best time to put out bad news.

If members of the Board of Trustees hoped nobody would notice, they’re more delusional than advertised.
The resignation of Dr. Katrina Armstrong is yet another bombshell development in the Trump administration’s crackdown on universities violating the civil rights of Jewish students, with Columbia a serial offender and top test case.
Real Election Reform At Last?
replies
Lost amid a flash flood of recent news, President Donald Trump’s executive order to make American elections more fair and less likely to be corrupted by ideology-driven election officials is possibly a game-changer. If Trump’s order withstands the inevitable onslaught of legal and political challenges it will face, it will make a huge difference in future elections.
The ink had barely dried on Trump’s reform than the New York Times, setting the tone for the national media, ran this headline: “Trump Is Trying to Gain More Power Over Elections. Is His Effort Legal?”
So what does Trump’s order, dubbed “Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections,” actually do?
The dynamic is obvious to any intellectually honest observer, which is to say U.S. and Western media disqualify themselves and continue pushing preferred EU narratives.
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky has rejected the latest U.S. proposal for a minerals deal that would create a partnership to repay the United States for ongoing financial support. According to Zelenskyy, the deal to share in oil, gas and mineral revenue would amount to debt that would disqualify them from EU membership due to unstable financials.
While numerous federal district court judges have issued ill-conceived restraining orders against the administration, I have long believed that it will prevail in its efforts to place control of the state in the hands of the elected executive, away from the deep state bureaucracy and its black-robed judicial allies. As the litigation of these matters proceeds, I think my belief will be justified. We will return to a constitutional republican form of government. For a day-to-day look at the progress of these multiple cases,
General Motors is contending with a glut of slow-selling BrightDrop delivery vans, representing another flawed projection of EV sales and leaving hundreds of the vehicles parked on both sides of the U.S.-Canadian border. The Ingersoll, Ontario, plant that produces the all-electric vans just reopened after a two-week shutdown related to inventory. And GM is reportedly offering tens of thousands of dollars in rebates on the largest model. The struggles come less than a year after GM folded the commercial vans into its Chevrolet brand in a bid to boost its performance as GM tries to gain ground against competitors, including Ford and Rivian, in the electric van space.
It’s become fairly obvious over the past week that there is a highly political campaign to take down Pete Hegseth as America’s defense secretary. [Snip] The real reason leftists and other establishment hacks are gunning for Hegseth’s resignation has nothing to do with their fake national security concerns and everything to do with the fact that he’s an outsider who represents a threat to the system they’ve spent decades protecting. Unlike so many of their fellow D.C. insiders, Hegseth is not beholden to the military-industrial complex and defense lobbyists wielding their influence throughout Washington. His only interests are--and always have been--warfighting and the troops.
