The Left’s Mount Rushmore
Posted By: ConservativeYankee, 4/23/2025 6:56:58 AM
Carved into the stone of the Black Hills of South Dakota, four faces look down upon this great nation: George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, and Theodore Roosevelt. Four American heroes, revered, respected, and representing the noblest aspirations of the American people. The gentleman farmer-turned-general who took down the most powerful army in the world, then shepherded the newborn nation through its infancy. The folksy woodsman who freed a race of people and ensured the United States would move forward as one.

A record-breaking tunnel is being built under the Baltic Sea between Denmark and Germany, which will slash travel times and improve Scandinavia's links with the rest of Europe.
Running for 18km (11 miles), the Fehmarnbelt will be the world's longest pre-fabricated road and rail tunnel.
It's also a remarkable feat of engineering, that will see segments of the tunnel placed on top of the seafloor, and then joined together.
The project's main construction site is located at the northern entrance to the tunnel, on the coast of Lolland island in the south east of Denmark.
The facility spans more than 500 hectares (1,235 acres), and includes a harbour and a factory
Former NFL kicker Jay Feely launched a bid for an open House seat in Arizona on Tuesday, seeking to become the latest to cross over from sports to politics.
Running as a Republican, Feely is running to represent the state’s 5th Congressional District and succeed Rep. Andy Biggs (R), who is seeking the GOP nomination for governor next year. The former player-turned sports analyst pitched himself as a strong supporter of President Trump and highlighted his experience on and off the field on his campaign website.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Wednesday called for sweeping reforms at the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, urging the institutions to abandon what he described as “mission creep” and return to their founding charters focused on macroeconomic stability, trade, and development.
Speaking at the Institute of International Finance during the spring meetings of the IMF and World Bank, Bessent said that “America First does not mean America alone.” He argued that the Trump administration is not looking to abandon international institutions or the global financial system built with American leadership, but rather is making a renewed commitment to U.S. leadership within it.
A Virginia town in Loudoun County voted to keep its police force on Tuesday following backlash from residents opposed to disbanding the department to save more than $3 million.
“The town of Purcellville, located in Loudoun County, Virginia, has found itself around $50 million in the red following the construction of a major wastewater treatment facility,” Fox News reported, “and the council sought to tighten the town’s budget by disbanding the local police department and relying on the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office for law enforcement.”
Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) announced Wednesday that he will not seek re-election in 2026, saying he would “pass the torch” to up-and-coming leaders in his party.
The no. 2 Democrat in the Senate posted a video message on X explaining his decision to step down after having served five terms — “longer than anyone elected to the Senate” in Illinois’ history.
“The decision of whether to run for re-election has not been easy. I truly love the job of being a United States senator,” Durbin said. “But in my heart, I know it’s time to pass the torch.”
Sweden, once hailed as a beacon of safety and “progressive utopia” of Europe, is now facing a grim and unthinkable reality: its murder rate has climbed higher than that of El Salvador, long infamous for gang violence, and a nation that, until recently, was considered one of the most dangerous places on Earth.
The shocking revelation, confirmed by multiple sources, highlights the catastrophic consequences of decades of open-border, globalist immigration policies championed by Sweden’s out-of-touch left-liberal establishment.
According to data from early 2025, Sweden has reported 32 murders just in the first 110 days of the year.
Jack Schlossberg—grandson of former President John F. Kennedy—lashed out on social media Monday morning, accusing Vice President J.D. Vance of “killing the pope” just hours after the Vatican announced the death of Pope Francis.
The accusation comes after Pope Francis’s passing, ending his 12-year tenure as head of the Roman Catholic Church.
Vance, a Catholic convert since 2019, had a brief private meeting with the pontiff at Casa Santa Marta on Easter Sunday.
The meeting lasted about 15–17 minutes, during which they exchanged Easter greetings.

A former senior adviser to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth who lost his job last week amid an investigation into press leaks from the Pentagon — pointed the finger in a different direction during an interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
Dan Caldwell, who has been placed on “administrative leave,” told Carlson in the interview released Monday that the Pentagon is rife with opponents of President Donald Trump and his administration’s goals. Those are where the leaks are coming from, he said.
But there’s a “less obvious place” that’s a possibility, he suggested. And he named one name that shocked viewers
The families of the victims of an Orange County, Calif., high-speed car crash are sending letters to the state to keep an illegal immigrant convicted felon behind bars, as he’s expected to be released from prison over six years before his 10-year sentence is up.
Oscar Eduardo Ortega-Anguiano, 43, was driving drunk, high, and speeding at nearly 100mph on the 405 freeway in Orange County in November 2021, when he crashed into a car being driven by a young couple, 19-year-olds Anya Varfolomeev and Nicholay Osokin, killing them both as they burned alive. In 2022, he was convicted of two counts of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated.

Four years of classes, thousands of dollars in tuition and one freshly minted diploma — all to be outdone by a chatbot.
As artificial intelligence floods the workplace, nearly half of Gen Z job seekers say their degrees have already been made obsolete by the rise of generative AI tools like ChatGPT — and they’re wondering why they even bothered hitting the books in the first place.
It’s a waste of time and money, according to respondents to a new Indeed report, which found 49% of Gen Z job hunters think their college education has lost value in the job market thanks to AI.

Three federal prosecutors have resigned instead of admitting wrongdoing following suspensions over their handling of the federal corruption case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams – bringing the number of lawyers who have left the Justice Department in the fallout from the case to 10.
The three who most recently resigned were Assistant U.S. Attorneys Celia Cohen, Andrew Rohrbach and Derek Wikstrom, who were assigned to the department's Southern District of New York.
The Trump administration – not them – mishandled the case, according to a letter from them reviewed by NBC News.
They were suspended after refusing to take part in the Justice Department's move to drop the prosecution against Adams.
The Department of Agriculture has worked with the Department of Government Efficiency to slash millions in woke spending projects, from a $300,000 contract educating queer and transgender farmers to $5 million to keep trees alive.
“Probably the most stunning for me was the $500,000 grant to study transgenderism in mice,” Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins told The Daily Signal.
The National Institutes of Health under the Biden administration allocated millions of dollars in taxpayer-funded grants for institutions to perform transgender experiments on mice, composing a total of more than $8 million in spending, according to the White House.

Former The View co-host, actor, and the celebrity face of self-deportation Rosie O’Donnell told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer the election of Donald Trump forced her and her “non-winery child to leave” America for Ireland.
“I have no regrets, not a day has gone by that I thought it was the wrong decision. I was welcomed with open arms. I knew after reading Project 2025 that if Trump got in, it was time for me and my non-binary child to leave the country,” the A League of Their Own star said Tuesday.
“It’s been heartbreaking, I have to tell you,” O’Donnell continued before launching into a diatribe.
Soros-backed Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty will not seek criminal charges for the Tim Walz staffer who vandalized at least six Teslas in Minnesota, causing $20,000 in damage.
The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office will seek “diversion” rather than criminal charges.
Last week, TGP reported that a fiscal policy analyst for Minnesota Governor (and failed VP candidate) Tim Walz’s administration was caught on camera vandalizing a Tesla.

The Supreme Court ruled that weekends and holidays cannot be counted when foreign nationals are given deadlines to leave the United States.
In a split 5-4 decision, a majority of justices on the nation’s highest court ruled in favor of Hugo Abisai Monsalvo Velazquez, a Mexican national who had been living unlawfully in the U.S. for years and ordered deported. Velazquez successfully argued that his 60-day notice to leave the country — which ended on a Saturday — should have provided more flexibility for weekends and holidays.
“Transgender” influencer and activist Dylan Mulvaney recently revealed that he plans on leaving the United States for good.
In a video posted on TikTok, Mulvaney revealed that he’s trying to move to the United Kingdom. “I’m trying to move here permanent [sic],” the 28-year-old told Pink News, which is a British LGBTQ+ news website.

The Trump administration has been mulling ways to get more Americans married and having kids — including a $5,000 “baby bonus” for every new mom after delivery, according to a report.
White House officials have recently been brainstorming plans to tackle the declining birth and marriage rates — and push more Americans toward the traditional family values of Trump and his allies.
Policy experts and advocates for boosting the birth rate have been meeting with White House aides to come up with plans to convince more women to have babies, four people who have been part of the meetings told the New York Times.
Democrats attempted to own the Trump administration by criticizing it for using real eggs for Monday’s White House Easter Egg Roll, claiming that Americans instead dyed potatoes due to the prices.
“Trump’s White House is using 30,000 real eggs worth over $15,500 for their Easter Egg Roll,” the Democrats’ official account — which boasts 2.3 million followers — said on X on the day of the annual tradition. “Meanwhile, Americans dyed potatoes instead of eggs this Easter to save money,” they bizarrely claimed.
(X) Many social media users were perplexed by the claims of these Democrats.
“Not a single American dyed potatoes,” one said.
Conservative Christians have flooded social media with support for Cardinal Robert Sarah to succeed the late Pope Francis because of his strong traditionalist stands on sexuality and church doctrine as well as his opposition to mass immigration and Islamism.
Why It Matters
The rising profile of the African cardinal, 79, comes at a time of ideological division within Catholicism, as the Church grapples with questions of modernity, sexual identity, and religious pluralism, and also as more right wing political movements in Europe and elsewhere have challenged what they see as the orthodoxy of a liberal global elite.
Unlike Pope Francis—who often leaned into progressive stances on social justice and inclusion—
A group of Democratic congressional reps traveled to Louisiana to visit Mahmoud Khalil and Rümeysa Öztürk in a pair of federal detention centers on Tuesday as both face potential removal from the United States.
Five lawmakers — including Rep. Troy Carter, of Louisiana; Rep. Bennie Thompson, of Mississippi; and Reps. Ayanna Pressley, Jim McGovern and Sen. Ed Markey, all of Massachusetts — stopped by a federal Immigration of Customs Enforcement facility in Jena to see Khalil and then traveled to Basile, where Öztürk is detained, CNN reported.
The Trump administration has begun an aggressive shake-up at the State Department that will close 132 agency offices, including those launched to further human rights, advance democracy overseas, counter extremism, and prevent war crimes.
The plans to reorganize the leading foreign policy agency in the United States are outlined in internal documents obtained by The Free Press. They show how the State Department will eliminate or restructure hundreds of offices in Washington, D.C.—a revelation that comes after reports in recent weeks of a rumored overhaul at the agency. The State Department is bringing its number of offices down from 734 to 602, a 17 percent reduction.
Longtime “60 Minutes” executive producer Bill Owens abruptly quit on Tuesday, citing a loss of journalistic independence as CBS’ parent company Paramount Global looks to settle a lawsuit from President Trump.
“Over the past months, it has become clear that I would not be allowed to run the show as I have always run it, to make independent decisions based on what was right for ‘60 Minutes,’ right for the audience,” Owens wrote in a memo to staff which was obtained by The Post.
He added: “So, having defended this show — and what we stand for — from every angle, over time with everything I could, I am stepping aside
A federal judge on Tuesday found the Trump administration’s efforts to dismantle Voice of America (VOA) and affiliated news services likely were unlawful, indefinitely blocking the shuttering of the government-funded news outlet and affiliated news services.
U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth ordered VOA’s parent agency, the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), to restore VOA and other outlets under the USAGM’s umbrella and barred the agency from preventing them from serving as “consistently reliable and authoritative” news sources, as is required by law.
He also directed the USAGM to restore employment to its workers placed on leave

Maine Democrats want to amend the state constitution to permanently allow transgender-identifying males to compete in female sports.
Maine’s Democrat House Majority voted on Thursday to pass a bill that would codify the Maine Human Rights Act (MHRA) in the state’s constitution. The proposed bill, LD 260, passed with a slim majority and will ultimately need two-thirds majority in both chambers before it can go before voters, Fox News reported. State officials have cited the MHRA in their ongoing dispute with the Trump administration over its allowance of males in female sports and spaces. MHRA is the state’s anti-discrimination law, and lawmakers added “gender identity” protections in 2021.
