Phone-Free Schools: Banning Phones to
Protect Schoolchildren
Posted By: Imright, 4/8/2025 10:48:12 AM
I count myself as one of the lucky ones to have grown up without the distraction of cell phones, social media, and the lure of the internet. That is why I am glad to see the growing movement to ban cell phones from schools. This movement is reinforced by Trump’s new Health and Human Services (HHS) secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Kennedy recently announced he is working with various states to remove all cell phones from schools in what many are dubbing the “Bell to Bell” initiative. Secretary Kennedy believes cell phones are not only detrimental to a child’s mental health, but have also been shown to cause physical damage

Senator Joni Ernst of Iowa appeared on the FOX Business Network this week to talk about the work she is doing with DOGE.
In one segment that defies parody, Ernst said that some federal employees have showed up at the office to protest having to show up at the office. If federal workers are trying to get sympathy from the public over losing their jobs, this is not the way to do it.
Millions of Americans have not had the luxury of working from home over the last few years. They get up and travel to work every single day.
The United States and Panama have officially signed a new defense and security pact aimed at reinforcing control over the Panama Canal, a move that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth claims is critical to pushing back against China’s growing grip in the region.
In a press release posted Wednesday night on X, the Panama Canal Authority confirmed that Panama’s Minister for Canal Affairs and Hegseth signed a joint declaration that reaffirms Panamanian sovereignty and outlines new military cooperation.
The deal "reaffirms respect for, and the recognition of, Panamanian sovereignty over the interoceanic waterway," the Canal Authority stated.
The Baltimore city council has proposed a bill that would put menstrual products in all men’s public restrooms.
Baltimore Councilman Paris Gray sponsored the bill and introduced it at the city council’s bi-monthly meeting, saying it reflects the city’s desire for menstrual equity. “Access to menstrual products should be as fundamental as access to soap or toilet paper,” Gray said. “It is an essential part of personal hygiene, and yet, for far too many people, these products remain out of reach. Menstrual products are not a luxury. They are a necessity,
The Kennedy Center broke an all-time attendance record for a public event in March despite boycotts from Democrats since President Trump’s takeover.
This past March , the Kennedy Center’s “EARTH to SPACE: Arts Breaking the Sky” fireworks show saw over 11,000 attendees – a new record for a public event, per an exclusive from the Daily Caller:
The history-making moment was celebrated amid a flurry of criticism from liberals about President Donald Trump’s takeover of the entertainment facility. Critics voiced concerns about Trump’s understanding and appreciation for the arts when he took control of the Kennedy Center. However, attendance numbers have told a different story.
That didn't take long. Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) is back in leadership. Less than two weeks after the Trump administration withdrew her name from consideration to serve as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) made good on his reassurances that Stefanik would once more have a leadership role. Stefanik previously served as the House Republican Conference chairwoman.
House Republicans passed legislation on Wednesday aimed at limiting the reach of so-called “rogue” judges who have paused some of President Trump’s executive orders from taking effect.
The “No Rogue Rulings Act” cleared the lower chamber in a 219-213 vote, with one Republican, Rep. Michael Turner (R-Ohio), joining all Democrats in opposing the legislation.
“We took on the activist judges and their rogue rulings. Now it’s on to the Senate to send this to the desk of [Trump],” Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), who sponsored the bill, wrote on X.
President Trump on Wednesday ordered the Justice Department to investigate Miles Taylor, the “Anonymous” author who leaked classified information and covertly tried to sabotage him during his first term.
In 2018 The New York Times ran an op-ed by an “Anonymous” author described as a senior member of the Trump Administration who was covertly working to sabotage the President.
The author of the NY Times ‘resistance’ op-ed also penned an anti-Trump tell all book titled, “A Warning.”
Whiplash: Markets Rally as Trump’s Tariff Strategy Becomes Clear
What looked like the start of a global financial panic turned into a show of strength from the White House and a stunning rally on Wall Street. Stocks soared Wednesday after President Donald Trump paused tariff hikes on dozens of U.S. trade partners while slapping China with a punishing 125 percent tariff. The market didn’t crash. It launched. The Dow jumped 6.98 percent, the S&P 500 shot up 8.19 percent, and the Nasdaq exploded 10.34 percent—one of the best days for equities in a decade.
Wall Street surged Wednesday after a blowout 10-year Treasury auction helped calm fears of a financial crisis, delivering a sharp rebuke to doomsayers who predicted foreign investors would flee American assets in protest of President Donald Trump’s trade agenda, and President Trump announced a pause in tariff hikes on some countries.
The Dow jumped 5.9 percent, the S&P 500 rose 7.3 percent, and the Nasdaq soared 8.9 percent, capping a dramatic rebound from a week of steep losses triggered by spiking bond yields and escalating global tariffs.

Waiting For 3 replies
We've all been there, and I do mean all of us.
You've had a brutally long day at the office, on the job site, at the family reunion, out working in the yard, or what have you, and the thing you're looking forward to the most once you're done for the day is to unwind and relax, starting with a nice, hot shower.But then reality hits once you step under the spray of water.
The pressure stinks, forcing you to stay in the shower that much longer to wash and rinse your hair and get cleaned up and refreshed. By the time you're done, you're not feeling relaxed.
On his first day in office, President Donald Trump ended the use of the controversial CBP One app, which the Biden administration expanded and exploited.
By June of 2024, over 600,000 million illegals were allowed into the US through this “legal” loophole.
In March, The Gateway Pundit reported that The Department of Homeland Security repurposed the app and to become the CBP Home app to facilitate self-deportation.
A new feature allows users to self-deport by notifying the U.S. Government of their intent to depart the United States.
The San Bernadino Community Service Center (SBCSC) is a non-governmental organization located in California, and is openly advertising legal support and voter registration for illegal aliens with criminal convictions. ProPublica reported $2,087,584 in revenue for 2023, up from $1,258,296 in 2022.
SBCSC is yet another organization based in the United States, designed to illegally assist those who have broken the law to remain in the country. What makes this organization particularly alarming, however, is its focus on helping illegal aliens who may be guilty of severe crimes like murder or rape.

The cuts made to the so-called “foreign aid” agency USAID (which doesn’t actually have humanitarianism as its primary purpose) in the first days of the Trump 2.0 administration affected various global vaccine initiatives, many of which were pet projects of self-styled philanthropist Bill Gates.In an attempt to ensure these projects remain federally funded, Gates has reportedly been quietly lobbying the administration behind the scenes to protect the billions that flow to his “non-profit” ventures.
Putting aside the ultimate question of why Bill Gates isn’t under a federal prison, why do we allow creatures like this to slink around the White House trying to convince Trump,
The acting head of the Internal Revenue Service will resign in the wake of a deal struck on behalf of the agency that will see it share tax data on undocumented immigrants.
Melanie Krause, a commissioner at the IRS who is the third person to serve as its chief since the start of the year, will pack up her desk as part of the deferred resignation program offered by the Trump administration, the Treasury Department announced Tuesday.
The news of her plans to leave the federal agency comes less than a week before the deadline for individual tax returns.
Chinese producers of plastic Christmas trees and other festive decorations say orders from U.S. clients, which are crucial for their business, should have started to come in by now. But because of surging import tariffs, they haven't.
U.S. President Donald Trump has raised tariffs on Chinese imports by 104% so far this year in an escalating trade war that threatens great pain for the world's largest exporter of manufactured goods.
U.S. retailers are almost completely reliant on China for Christmas decorations, where they source 87% of such goods - worth roughly $4 billion. Chinese factories are also heavily dependent on the U.S. market, where they sell half of what they make.
Senator Adam Schiff on Wednesday called on Congress to investigate whether President Donald Trump engaged in insider trading or market manipulation when he abruptly paused a sweeping set of tariffs, a move that sent stock prices skyrocketing.
“I’m going to do my best to find out,” Schiff, a California Democrat, tells TIME. “Family meme coins and all the rest of it are not beyond insider trading or enriching themselves. I hope to find out soon.”
Schiff’s comments regarding a formal inquiry, which has not been previously reported, came soon after the S&P 500 surged more than 9% Wednesday afternoon after Trump announced the tariff pause.
On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Source,” Senate Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) responded to a question on whether Democrats should have reclaimed congressional power on tariffs when they were in the majority during the Biden administration by stating that “Congress has always had the power to deal with tariffs, and we’ve always had these fights in the past on some of the tariff issues as well. But now that Trump is going so overboard, Congress can, has every legal authority to take those powers back, and that’s what we aim to do.”
Host Brianna Keilar asked, “On the tariff issue, you’ve been in the Senate for more than
ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos reportedly said his post-debate interview with former President Joe Biden was "heartbreaking up close."
Chris Whipple's new book, titled "Uncharted: How Trump Beat Biden, Harris, and the Odds in the Wildest Campaign in History," which was released on Tuesday, recounted behind-the-scenes conflicts between members of the Democratic Party and the Biden administration over whether Biden needed to step out of the race after his disastrous debate with then-candidate Donald Trump on June 27.
To "staunch the bleeding" of Democrats beginning to publicly call for replacing Biden on the ticket, Whipple wrote about how the White House accepted an interview
Americans have seen a lot of Tim Walz lately as the failed vice-presidential candidate has held town halls nationally criticizing national Republicans. In a telling interview, he admitted to the New York Magazine this week, “90% of the time, I can be really good, but about 10% of the time, I can be a train wreck.”
And in an interview with Jake Tapper that was itself something of a train wreck, he rejected the conclusion that every American with a pulse now acknowledges: that Walz and other Democrats should have forced Joe Biden off the presidential ticket in light of his obvious cognitive decline.
China is slapping 84 percent tariffs on U.S. goods from Thursday, ramping the impost up from the 34 percent as previously announced, its finance ministry said on Wednesday.
Beijing’s hurried move is just the latest shot in an international trade war sparked by U.S. President Donald Trump as he works to level the playing field for global trade after China’s President Xi Jinping refused to withdraw retaliatory tariffs placed on America, as Breitbart News reported. Last week, Trump announced reciprocal tariffs on countries that have historically imposed high tariffs on the U.S., including China, which faced a 34 percent tariff in addition to existing tariffs on its goods.
President Trump wants to get America’s vast army of “dropout” men back into the workforce. Attention to this problem is long overdue.
Nearly 7 million men in the prime of life — over a tenth of the 25-to-54 age group — are neither working nor looking for work these days.
But Team Trump is trying to fix the problem with the wrong tools.
They argue that trade policy (tariffs) and industrial policy (special treatment for manufacturing) will reverse the long-term flight from work by men, by creating high-paying jobs to lure them back to work.
This approach may sound sensible to some. Unfortunately, it is likely to fail
Mia is no longer with us at Townhall, but before she left for the Washington Examiner, she wrote a harrowing and tragic story about a fatal stabbing at a high school track meet in Frisco, Texas, last week: (X Video) 17-year-old Karmelo Sincere Anthony is accused of killing Austin Metcalf, 17, around 10 a.m. at the sporting event, a track-and-field championship involving several Dallas-area schools in Frisco, Texas.
Metcalf, a junior at Memorial High School, was in the stands when he was fatally stabbed following an altercation over a seat.
New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) has declared a state of emergency for Albuquerque, ordering the National Guard to help combat crime in the state’s largest city. “The safety of New Mexicans is my top priority,” Lujan Grisham said in a statement. “This partnership represents our commitment to addressing the fentanyl crisis and juvenile crime with every resource at our disposal.” Lujan Grisham, a former member of Congress who is term limited, said the New Mexico National Guard will assist Albuquerque police with essential duties so the city’s law enforcement officers “can focus on what they do best — keeping our communities safe.”
Former first lady Michelle Obama has hit back at rumors she and husband Barack are headed for divorce, blaming the rampant speculation on her decision to exercise her newfound independence.
The 61-year-old broke her silence on Sophia Bush’s “Work in Progress” podcast Wednesday after the Obamas were dogged by gossip that their marriage was on the rocks when she opted to skip several high-profile events earlier this year — including President Trump’s inauguration.
“The interesting thing is that, when I say ‘no,’ for the most part people are like, ‘I get it, and I’m OK,’”
