I know its contrary to the president's personality, but I think I would have walked away in the first term. This system is riding Hell bent for leather to destroy itself, and all levels of government seem to be in on it. I'm really starting to think it isn't worth saving.

Very close to the moment when President Trump must declare the communist death democrat, anti constitution Supreme Court’s rulings invalid and simply resume the deportations of these illegal invaders of our country. The security and well being of our country and citizens must come first.

Isn't there a federal law already on the books about entering the country illegally? Why does Trump need to use the Alien Enemies Act to remove illegals?

This has everything to do with ‘hating Trump’. It’s all about obstruction. Do any and everything to get in the way of people due to blind hatred. TdA, MS-13, they have no use for these people other than as pawns. Too bad these demented children are actually adults with power.

#3: I'm not an attorney, but I think the body of law outside the Alien Enemies Act allows for exactly the kinds of judicial chicanery we're seeing right now.... whereas in past use of the Alien Enemies Act in the past (that old term *precedent*) the judiciary expressly understood it had essentially *no* review authority and stayed out of the way of the Executive Branch. The law was last used after WWII to deport German nationals back to Europe. Another historical precedent: In 1958 President Eisenhower deported 4 million illegal aliens (mostly Mexicans), and the judiciary said absolutely nothing at the time. Far as I'm concerned, the judiciary should either butt out of this matter completely (CJ Roberts could do this, but he's spineless) or else Congress will have to step in and relieve the lower courts of the incremental judicial review power they are asserting.

The Supremes are between a rock and a hard place. On one side what is perceived as wholesale railroading of individuals is not viewed the same way in 2025 as it would have been in 1958. The judiciary is primarily viewed and respected as the place where the little guy can get protection against big government. Even a perception otherwise can be damaging. On the other hand if it in effect allows illegals to avoid deportation indefinitely and they continue to consume public funds and commit violent crimes, the SCOTUS will lose whatever moral standing they have left. This ruling is buying time before they can come up with a workable solution. All is not lost, I think.

Can't say I'm surprised. This is about people and which ones have the power, control, and wealth in this country. Doubting most of us really have a say in this. I would rather be governed than ruled by people that are honest, competent, and fair. Beginning to wonder if that is delusional.

Trump should be granted a special one time 4 year extension of his term of office for the theft of the 2020 election, and the unconstitutional blocking of his power to get things done in his current term of office. Does a president really have a term of office, if the entirety of that term is spent in court?

Yesterday I sat next to several attorneys in a restaurant who were loudly discussing their plans to attend a local 50501 rally. They claimed Trump is following Project 2025's radical agenda and he will find a reason to declare martial law on Sunday by invoking the Insurrection Act. I think #4 is correct; this is all about blind hatred. Their frenzy was based upon rage, not reason or logic. The Easter 50501 rallies will incite rebellion, that's for sure. What happens after that is anyone's guess. I fear for my country.

The protection of the citizens of the United States is the most important and unchallengeable priority of the President. There is NO branch of government or authority that can override that priority. The President MUST act unilaterally if necessary to preserve that ultimate priority. We the People will back him on that if the other branches of government have become our enemies...which they have.

CJ Roberts is compromised. People can make excuses for these idiotic rulings all the way up the chain of courts, but the bottom line is Roberts is being blackmailed, or is voluntarily hindering President Trump so as information about his crookedness is not revealed. None of this should be as contested as it is so go with the first inclination. There's something rotten in Denmark comes to mind.

On a chilly February night in 2025, Jay Sani, an Indian-American student at Washington State University, stepped out of a bar wearing his red MAGA hat. The 28-year-old engineering student didn’t expect the night to take a violent turn, but it did. According to reports, as Jay walked, two figures approached him. Patrick Mahoney, a university instructor and vocal proponent of Palestinian causes, and Gerald Hoff, a graduate student and teaching assistant. It is unclear what sparked the confrontation, but words were exchanged and, as seen on security footage, Mahoney lunged at Jay, ripping the hat from his head.

Sometimes you just can't help but laugh.

Their embrace of every possible policy position that at least 80 percent of the country opposes has cost them, and let's hope they never figure it out.A new Gallup poll is in, and for Republicans as well as any Americans who aren't barking nuts (Democrats), it's giggle-inducing.

MSNBC’s Morning Joe proved once again that when it comes to violent crime, especially involving illegal immigrants, their instinct is to deflect, downplay, or dismiss. On Thursday, the panel spent over seven minutes hand-waving away mounting evidence against an alleged MS-13 gangster, more concerned with spinning the narrative than acknowledging the brutal realities tied to the Biden administration’s reckless open-border policies. Rather than confront the serious implications of letting dangerous individuals slip through the cracks, the hosts fell back on tired talking points and partisan gaslighting, showing just how out of touch the liberal media remains on law and order.

The White House practically broke X on Friday with a post showing Hollywood star Vince Vaughn posing for a photo with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office. In the now-viral post on X from the White House's official account, Trump is pictured sitting behind the Resolute Desk with the 55-year-old actor standing next to him.“President Donald J. Trump & Vince Vaughn in the Oval Office,” the post read. It included a movie-type poster with their names and the title “White House Crashers.” It was an obvious reference to one of Vaughn’s bigger movie hits, the 2005 romantic comedy “Wedding Crashers” with actor Owen Wilson.

A Maryland father wrongly deported to El Salvador and held in a notoriously violent prison told a U.S. senator that he was traumatized by the experience. Kilmar Abrego Garcia reported to Sen. Chris Van Hollen during a meeting in El Salvador that he was moved nine days ago from that country's Terrorism Confinement Center, or CECOT, to another facility with better conditions. Abrego Garcia said he had been traumatized by his time in CECOT and that he had been taunted by other prisoners. “He said he felt very sad about being in a prison because he had not committed any crimes,” Van Hollen said.

The Democrat senator who traveled to El Salvador to meet with a deported illegal migrant and alleged MS-13 member was seen drinking what appeared to be margaritas, infuriating many online. Chris Van Hollen, the junior senator from Maryland, met Thursday in El Salvador with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a man who was sent there by the Trump administration in March despite an immigration court order preventing his deportation. But it was his decision to sip margaritas with Abrego Garcia, as El Salvador´s President Nayib Bukele put it, that caused a wave of outrage.

Rosie O’Donnell has admitted she was “drinking too much” during Donald Trump’s first term in the White House - and during his recent presidential campaign, she vowed she would leave the country if he was elected again. The American talk show host revealed last month that she and her 12-year-old child Clay moved to Dublin, Ireland, to escape the Trump presidency. Since her grandparents were Irish, she is eligible to get citizenship, but said her application has yet to be approved.
