Is Trump Committing an Unforced Error Here?

/1 Comment/in , , /by

President Donald J. Trump has had enough with one Republican congressman: Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) is someone the president wants jettisoned from Congress. Massie has usually been the lone rebel on a host of GOP-led legislation. Some of his reasons are not out of line; he’s sticking with his principles. Yet, Massie’s opposition to the six-month continuing resolution Trump and the GOP leadership want passed to prevent a government shutdown and not disrupt the budget reconciliation process, deporting illegal aliens, rebuilding our military, and the work done by the Department of Government Efficiency led to the president threatening the Kentucky Republican with a primary threat:

Thank you to the House Freedom Caucus for just delivering a big blow to the Radical Left Democrats and their desire to raise Taxes and SHUT OUR COUNTRY DOWN! They hate America and all it stands for. That’s why they allowed MILLIONS of Criminals to invade our Nation. Sometimes it takes great courage to do the right thing. Congressman Thomas Massie, of beautiful Kentucky, is an automatic “NO” vote on just about everything, despite the fact that he has always voted for Continuing Resolutions in the past. HE SHOULD BE PRIMARIED, and I will lead the charge against him. He’s just another GRANDSTANDER, who’s too much trouble, and not worth the fight. He reminds me of Liz Chaney before her historic, record breaking fall (loss!). The people of Kentucky won’t stand for it, just watch. DO I HAVE ANY TAKERS??? Anyway, thank you again to the House Freedom Caucus for your very important vote. We need to buy some time in order to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, GREATER THAN EVER BEFORE. Unite and Win!!!

Stock Market Plunges. What Happens Next?

/4 Comments/in , /by

On Tuesday, we saw a massive stock market dump. The Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged almost 900 points.

The stock market has been in a bit of a freefall over the course of the last couple of weeks, and I have been predicting this for a while.

It turns out that when you mess with the market mechanisms, people don’t like it. Investors tend to take the money out of the market and wait for things to be a little calmer, a little steadier. If you think of the free markets essentially as an ocean, sometimes it’s pretty choppy out there. Right now, it’s choppy.

If this administration is blamed for the choppy waters, that will be quite bad — not just for this administration, but also for everything it represents in the public mind.

Today, Emerson released a new poll showing President Trump’s handling of the economy underwater by 11 points. His job approval rating remains at 47-45, which is largely due to the widespread and correct perception that he totally changed the game on immigration. We are experiencing the lowest levels of illegal immigration ever recorded in the United States, as far as I’m aware. (Read more from “Stock Market Plunges. What Happens Next?” HERE)

USAID-Linked Ukrainian Group Smears Vance, Massie

/0 Comments/in , /by

A London-based Ukrainian intelligence group linked to the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) labelled American politicians as “foreign propagandists,” falsely accusing them of Russian loyalty.

The group, Molfar, created an online blacklist including Vice President JD Vance, Republican Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie, U.S. Counterterrorism Director Joe Kent and others. The list claims these officials are “external agents of Russia,” demanding their removal from public positions and investigations into their “personal involvement in crimes.” and calling for sanctions against them.

“Instead of mentioning famous names of internal Russian propagandists, we focused on the personalities of external agents of Russia,” Molfar’s website reads. “Foreign propagandists of the Russian Federation repeat the theses of Kremlin leadership, justify Russia’s armed aggression against Ukraine, call for the lifting of Western sanctions against the Russian Federation and convince the world that the annexation of the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine is legitimate.”

The website presents tweets from Vance describing Ukrainian NATO membership as “irresponsible” and Massie’s characterization of Ukrainian aid as wasteful as supposed “evidence” that these politicians serve as Russian “propagandists.” (Read more from ”

Molfar, founded in 2014 following Ukraine’s Western-backed Maidan uprising, describes itself as an open-source intelligence (OSINT) firm dedicated to countering “Russian disinformation” and identifying “enemies of Ukraine.” While it claims to focus on tracking alleged war criminals, its activities have expanded to include doxxing journalists and compiling blacklists of foreign politicians. Molfar lists USAID as a “partner” on its website as of Tuesday. (Read more from “USAID-Linked Ukrainian Group Smears Vance, Massie” HERE)

LGBT Gang Allegedly Tortures, Kills Trans Woman. Queer Activists Blame Straight ‘Hate’

/0 Comments/in , /by

No motive has been released by the police in the alleged torture and murder of Sam Nordquist, a trans-identifying woman killed in New York in early February. There is, however, sufficient evidence to confirm the alleged murder was not a hate crime.

Despite this, media reports insist on forcing that narrative, as LGBT activists demand it and Democrat leaders validate it. The facts of the case are deeply disturbing, and the obsession with manufacturing an anti-trans hate crime story is making it worse.

Police say Sam Nordquist was tortured to death from December 2024 to Feb. 2, 2025, when she died from abuse. An indictment accuses seven people of being involved in her kidnapping, torture, and death. Nordquist had traveled from Minnesota to New York to visit her online girlfriend in September, then decided to stay. What happened between then and her death is still unknown, although police say she knew everyone involved, including two children forced to participate in the crime.

The details of her torture and death are each too difficult to imagine, let alone as a series of relentless horrors. According to police, Nordquist was starved, beaten, treated like a dog, forced to eat feces and urine, tied up, and had bleach poured on her. Her body was then abandoned in a field.

Nordquist was referred to as a man in all news reports, with many indicating she was transgender. She was immediately elevated as a victim of anti-LGBT hate and violence. OutFront Minnesota said, “We know this arrives at a time our trans communities are facing a relentless assault of harmful policy and rhetoric across our nation,” according to a post on Instagram. “We know that this landscape escalates and amplifies the individual risk of violence.” (Read more from “LGBT Gang Allegedly Tortures, Kills Trans Woman.

Tucker Carlson Says GOP Senator Allegedly Kept Someone Out Of Job To Block Full Release Of JFK Files

/0 Comments/in , /by

Daily Caller News Foundation co-founder Tucker Carlson told NewsNation’s Chris Cuomo on his podcast Monday that he believes Republican Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton allegedly attempted to block the hiring of a particular person on the Intelligence Committee.

Voters have pushed to see government files on the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy and deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. For President Donald Trump’s second term, a new House Oversight Task Force on the Declassification of Government Documents has formed to review the materials. On “The Tucker Carlson Show,” Carlson described how a particular hire was being discussed for the intelligence world.

A senator on the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence allegedly halted that hire.

“In January there was a scramble over who’s gonna get what jobs in the new administration. At one point there was someone who was being discussed for a job in the intel world, and a member of the SSCI, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and Intel Committee, went to the people making the decision and said, ‘You cannot hire this person because this person will be certain to push for the release of the JFK files,’” Carlson said.

“So this is in 2025, less than two months ago, and you have a sitting member of the United States Senate whose main goal is to keep those files secret. Then you have to ask yourself, ‘What is that?’” Carlson asked. “If you’re telling me that six weeks ago, a member of the United States Senate was trying to keep someone out of a job in order to keep these files secret, that is to protect the CIA, I don’t believe that for a second.” (Read more from “Tucker Carlson Says GOP Senator Allegedly Kept Someone Out Of Job To Block Full Release Of JFK Files” HERE)

Study: Concealed Carriers Do A Better Job Of Stopping Active Shooters Than Police

/0 Comments/in , /by

You’d never know it from watching television, but civilians stop more active shooters than police and do so with fewer mistakes, according to new research from the Crime Prevention Research Center, where I serve as president. In non-gun-free zones, where civilians are legally able to carry guns, concealed carry permit holders stopped 51.5 percent of active shootings, compared to 44.6 percent stopped by police, CPRC found in a deep dive into active shooter scenarios between 2014 and 2023.

Not only do permit holders succeed in stopping active shooters at a higher rate, but law enforcement officers face significantly greater risks when intervening. Our research found police were nearly six times more likely to be killed and 17 percent more likely to be wounded than armed civilians.

Those numbers paint a fuller picture than the FBI’s crime statistics, which fail to include many of the defensive gun uses my organization has cataloged. But the problem with the FBI’s crime statistics isn’t just the errors in their reported data — they also fail to address useful questions, like how concealed handgun permit holders compare to law enforcement. Kash Patel and Dan Bongino face a major challenge in reforming how the data is collected and reported at the FBI.

From 2014 to 2023, CPRC researchers found that armed civilians stopped 180 of 515 active shooting cases. Of the attacks in places where people were allowed to carry, we found that permit holders stopped 158 of the 307 instances. The FBI defines an “active shooting” as an event where an individual actively attempts to kill people in a public place — excluding shootings tied to robberies or gang violence. An “active shooting” could be as simple as a single shot fired at a lone human target, even if the shooter misses, to a mass shooting.

The Crime Prevention Research Center’s findings tell a very different story than the narrative you’ll see on television. (Read more from “Study: Concealed Carriers Do A Better Job Of Stopping Active Shooters Than Police” HERE)

Whoopi Goldberg Claims Trump Ruined Biden’s Wonderful Economy Without Once Mentioning High Prices

/0 Comments/in , /by

“The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg claimed Tuesday that President Donald Trump ruined former President Joe Biden’s economy without once mentioning high prices or the record high deficit.

Goldberg argued that Trump inherited a “very robust” economy, crediting the Biden administration for adding nearly 16 million jobs to the U.S. economy, though she failed to mention this was largely a result of the U.S. recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic. The co-host also did not mention that inflation rose to a peak of 9% during the Biden administration and that the deficit reached record-breaking levels largely due to the previous White House’s high spending.

“Let me just remind you about the Biden economy, okay?” Goldberg began. “The economy added 16.6 million jobs and gross domestic product grew 12.6%. They are the only administration in history to have created jobs every single month. But wait, there’s more. They achieved the lowest average unemployment in 50 years. Wealth adjusted for inflation rose a record 37% for the median American household and Americans filed a record 21 million new small business applications, the most in any presidential administration.”

“[Trump] came in to a very robust, there were issues, there’s always going to be issues, but you can’t blame all of what’s happening on [Biden],” Goldberg continued.

Trump Admin to Deport Foreigners Who Come to American Universities and Shill for Terrorists

/54 Comments/in , /by

ASyrian-born Palestinian activist and former Columbia University graduate student was arrested on Saturday and will reportedly have his green card revoked because of his involvement in radical left-wing protests supporting Hamas.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, saying Khalil “led activities aligned to Hamas, a designated terrorist organization.” According to his attorney, Khalil is a permanent resident with a green card.

Federal law prohibits providing “material support or resources” to any designated terrorist organizations.

President Donald Trump said his administration would not tolerate any “pro-terrorist” behavior in a Truth Social post.

“This is the first arrest of many to come. We know there are more students at Columbia and other Universities across the Country who have engaged in pro-terrorist, anti-Semitic, anti-American activity, and the Trump administration will not tolerate it,” Trump said. “We will find, apprehend, and deport these terrorist sympathizers from our country — never to return again.” (Read more from “Trump Admin to Deport Foreigners Who Come to American Universities and Shill for Terrorists” HERE)

Elon Musk Says X Was Knocked Offline by ‘Massive Cyberattack’ That Originated in ‘Ukraine Area’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Billionaire entrepreneur and DOGE chief Elon Musk claimed Monday that X went dark as the result of a “massive cyberattack” that originated in the “Ukraine area.”

“We’re not sure exactly what happened,” Musk told Fox Business Network host Larry Kudlow about the apparent operation targeting his social media platform.

“But there was a massive cyberattack to try to bring down the X system, with IP addresses originating in the Ukraine area,” the world’s richest man added.

Musk, 53, did not immediately provide additional evidence of who may have been responsible.

Cybercriminals have been known to create false IP addresses to impersonate computer systems from different parts of the world, a practice known as “spoofing.” (Read more from “Elon Musk Says X Was Knocked Offline by ‘Massive Cyberattack’ That Originated in ‘Ukraine Area’” HERE)
