Trump ‘Not Joking’ About Third Term — and Notes This Apparent Loophole: ‘There Are Methods’

/1 Comment/in , , /by

By New York Post. President Trump said he’s “not joking” about serving a third term in the White House — and thinks there’s a loophole to make it happen.

Trump, 78, told NBC’s Kristen Welker in a Sunday morning phone call that “a lot of people want me to do it.”

Trump claimed that “there are methods which you could do it,” including having Vice President JD Vance, 40, run for president with Trump as his vice president. Vance would then resign to allow Trump to regain the top job.

“But there are others too,” Trump said, without elaboration.

The 22nd Amendment, ratified in 1951, says “no person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice” — allowing for the potential loophole of Vance resigning in Trump’s favor.

“I mean, I basically tell them we have a long way to go, you know, it’s very early in the administration. I’m focused on the current,” the president said. (Read more from “Trump ‘Not Joking’ About Third Term — and Notes This Apparent Loophole: ‘There Are Methods’” HERE)

Trump Says He’s ‘Not Joking’ About Running For Third Term

By Daily Caller. President Donald Trump revealed he’s “not joking” about running for a third term during a Sunday phone call with NBC News’s Kristen Welker. . .

“I’m focused on the current,” the president continued.

“I’m not joking,” Trump clarified. “But I’m not — it is far too early to think about it.”

“There are methods which you could do it,” Trump added, responding to a question on if he has embraced plans to seek reelection for a third term. Seeking a third term, however, is prohibited by the 22nd Amendment of the Constitution.

“No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice,” the amendment states. (Read more from “Trump Says He’s ‘Not Joking’ About Running For Third Term” HERE)

The New York Times Drops a Massive Truth Bomb on the Democrats

/0 Comments/in , , /by

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.”

They then point out that Democrats are in denial about their electoral struggles, clinging to the idea that they are merely victims of post-pandemic inflation and poor messaging rather than deeper political failures. Party leaders insist their policies are popular but that voter apathy—rather than a genuine shift toward Trump—led to their losses. DNC Chairman Ken Martin claims Democrats simply need to “connect” their message better, while Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz dismisses the idea of winning over Trump voters, instead focusing on mobilizing those who stayed home.

“As comforting as these explanations may feel to Democrats, they are a form of denial that will make it harder for the Democratic Party to win future elections,” they warn. (Read more from “The New York Times Drops a Massive Truth Bomb on the Democrats” HERE)

Doctor: For the First Time in My Career, I’ve Seen an 8, 9 and 10-Year Olds With Colon Cancer

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .Children—actually very young children—are now being diagnosed with these extremely aggressive, fast-moving cancers at a rate that’s impossible to ignore. But instead of asking hard questions, the same crowd of “experts” that once shouted down anyone who dared question the COVID vaccine has gone radio silent.

The timing really speaks for itself, right? These alarming cases have been ramping up since the rollout of the vaccine. But the people who once told everyone this shot was a miracle are now nowhere to be found as the world faces a medical crisis that feels more like a cover-up than a coincidence.

And now, a top doctor by the name of Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong is finally saying what others won’t…

But this latest alarm bell from Dr. Soon-Shiong still centers around the cancer surge—only now, the focus has shifted to children, which makes it all the more terrifying. For the first time in his long and respected career, he says he’s seeing kids—young kids—being diagnosed with some of the most aggressive, deadly cancers on the planet.

What is happening? It seems so obvious, doesn’t it…and as Dr. Soon-Shiong says, we have to “face reality.”

Hegseth Signs Memo Ordering Return To ‘Sex-Neutral Standards’ In The Military

/1 Comment/in , , /by

By The Federalist. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth signed a memo on Sunday ordering the return of “sex-neutral standards” for military combat roles.

“We need to have the same standards, male or female, in our combat roles to ensure our men and women who are under our leaders or in those formations, have the best possible leaders and the highest possible standards that are not based at all on your sex,” Hegseth said.

According to a copy of the directive obtained by The Federalist, Hegseth has instructed the secretaries of America’s military departments to “develop comprehensive plans to distinguish combat arms occupations from non-combat arms occupations.” These plans, as specified by the defense secretary, must also “identify which positions require heightened entry-level and sustained physical fitness” for “certain combat arms roles.”

“These roles, which are critical to our military’s mission success, demand exceptional physical capabilities, and the standards for them must reflect that rigor,” Hegseth wrote.

The plans to be developed by the military departments must address “Ground Combat Operations,” “Special Operations Forces (SOF) Occupations,” and “Specialized Occupations,” according to the directive.

Hegseth Orders Same Physical Requirements for Men, Women in Combat Roles, Says U.S. ‘Allowed Standards to Slip’

By New York Post. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a memo Monday ordering men and women to meet the same physical fitness requirements if they want to serve in combat roles, saying the Pentagon had “allowed standards to slip.”

“Different standards for men and women in combat arms, MOS and jobs, that’s not acceptable,” Hegseth said in a video posted to X, using the abbreviation for “military occupational specialty,” or job type.

“We have to have the same standard — male or female — in our combat roles to ensure our men and women who are under our leaders, or in those formations, have the best possible leaders and the highest possible standards that are not based at all on your sex.”

The memo, which orders the military branches to “develop comprehensive plans to distinguish combat arms occupations from non-combat arms occupations,” specifies in hand-underlined text that the soon-to-be-developed standards must not “result in any existing service member being held to a lower standard.”

“All entry-level and sustained physical fitness requirements within combat arms positions must be sex-neutral, based solely on the operational demands of the occupation and the readiness needed to confront any adversary,” Hegseth wrote.

CEO Facing Lawsuit Says He’ll Be Dragged to Jail Before Taking Down Store’s American Flag

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The CEO of Camping World, a national RV dealer with stores in 200-plus locations, is facing a lawsuit by another city over its massive American flag that waves outside a dealership.

City leaders in Greenville, N.C., voted 4-2 last week to initiate legal action to take down the American flag at a Camping World dealership. The vote came amid another lawsuit filed by the city of Sevierville, Tennessee.

“Not when they sue, not when I lose, not if they take me to jail, the flag is not coming down,” Camping World CEO Marcus Lemonis said last week after the city council in Greenville, North Carolina, voted to authorize the filing of civil action against the company, WITN reported. “While I respect the city council’s position and while I understand they have the right to sue me, and they’re going to and I understand I have the right to defend myself, the flag is never coming down.”

“They need to sue me, not the business, because I put the flags up everywhere,” he added.

The Greenville City Council said the flag is nearly the size of a basketball court at 3,200 square feet. It flies on a pole that stands 130 feet tall, almost double the size of what is currently allowed.

US Naval Academy Ends Affirmative Action in Admissions

/1 Comment/in , /by

The U.S. Naval Academy will no longer consider race, ethnicity or sex as a factor for admission to the service institution, a response to an executive order by President Donald Trump, according to federal court documents made public Friday.

The change in policy was made in February by Vice Adm. Yvette Davids, the academy’s superintendent, in response to an executive order issued by President Donald Trump in January, according to a court filing by the U.S. Justice Department in the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.

The president’s order on Jan. 27 said that “every element of the Armed Forces should operate free from any preference based on race or sex.” It also directed the secretary of defense to conduct an internal review with respect to all “activities designed to promote a race- or sex-based preferences system,” including reviews at the service academies.

“Under revised internal guidance issued by the Superintendent on Feb. 14, 2025, neither race, ethnicity, nor sex can be considered as a factor for admission at any point during the admissions process, including qualification and acceptance,” according to the court filing made public Friday.

The decision comes after a federal judge ruled in December that the academy could continue considering race in its admissions process. In that case, the judge found that military cohesion and other national security factors mean the school should not be subjected to the same standards as civilian universities.

How Congress Can Kick Illegal Immigrants off Medicaid — and Save U.S. Billions

/0 Comments/in , /by

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.

This creates an obvious incentive to enter the US illegally, since foreigners know they can get health care on the taxpayers’ dime.

It also pushes vulnerable Americans, including the elderly and people with disabilities, to the back of the line for care. Often, they’re stuck behind able-bodied adults who shouldn’t be in this country at all. (Read more from “How Congress Can Kick Illegal Immigrants off Medicaid — and Save U.S. Billions” HERE)

Police: 70-Year-Old Trump Hater Purposefully Struck Musk Supporter With Car at Idaho Tesla Protest

/0 Comments/in , /by

A 70-year-old man has been arrested and charged with aggravated assault after allegedly striking an Elon Musk supproter with his vehicle during an anti-Tesla rally outside a dealership in Meridian, Idaho, according to local law enforcement.

ABC News reports that on Saturday, approximately 30 people gathered outside a Tesla dealership in Meridian, Idaho, to protest against the company’s CEO, Elon Musk, and his role in the Trump administration’s federal job cuts. The protest was overshadowed by a counter-protest of about 200 individuals. According to the Meridian Police Department, as a 49-year-old counter-protester arrived at the scene, Christopher Talbot, 70, of Meridian, allegedly made an obscene gesture toward him before striking him with his car.

Police reported that the victim, who had been driving a truck displaying pro-Trump flags, had just parked and exited his vehicle when Talbot hit him. The counter-protester sustained non-life-threatening injuries and drove himself to a nearby hospital for treatment.

The incident occurred amid a series of planned “Tesla Takedown” protests organized by an anti-Musk group, targeting Tesla dealerships and facilities across the country. In recent weeks, Tesla has become a focal point for vandalism and demonstrations due to Musk’s prominent and controversial role in President Donald Trump’s second administration.

Woman Whose MAGA Hat Meltdown, Subway Wipeout Went Viral Is an ‘Extremely Liberal’ Luxury-Brand Specialist, Dual Citizen

/0 Comments/in , /by

The woman who received “instant karma” after berating a President Trump supporter on the subway — and then face-planting on the platform after trying to grab his “Make America Great Again” hat — is an increasingly “agitated” creative director for several luxury brands, The Post has learned.

Alberta Testanero, a 55-year-old dual Italian-American citizen, went viral for the caught-on-video incident on the 6 train in Midtown last week after branding the MAGA fan “uneducated” and a “racist.”

Testanero has gone off the deep end when it comes to politics, a former colleague claimed. “She and I stopped being friends a while ago, as she became extremely liberal and very agitated,” the one-time coworker told The Post. . .

A freelance creative director and branding specialist who has worked with posh outfits like Tiffany & Co., Coach, Bergdorf Goodman and Kate Spade, Testanero prides herself on “maintaining the highest standards,” according to her online profiles. . .

[During the subway confrontation last week, some] bystanders urged Testanero to leave the guy alone. “That’s why he won, because of people like you,” a rider chimed in.

Germany Ready to Bring Back Conscription as Russian Belligerence Grows

/0 Comments/in , /by

If you want peace, prepare for war. Germany appears to be embracing this ancient maxim with the country’s top general warning Monday that Berlin is ready to bring back conscription.

Carsten Breuer, the German Chief of Defence, told BBC’s Radio 4 an additional 100,000 soldiers would be needed to ensure the country’s ability to defend itself as a belligerent Russia continues to roil the continent.

Defence chiefs have been looking to increase the size of the armed forces since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, but have fallen short of even an initial target of 20,000, as Europe looks ahead to further unrest.

The Daily Mail reports Breuer warned Russia could attack NATO territory in as little as four years and he is calling for a massive troop buildup – achievable, he says, only through compulsory service through conscription.

“We won’t get this additional 100,000 soldiers without having one or the other, a model of conscription,” Germany’s highest ranking soldier told the programme. (Read more from “Germany Ready to Bring Back Conscription as Russian Belligerence Grows” HERE)
