/0 Comments/in , /by

Speaking ahead of a bill signing event for the Laken Riley Act in the East Room of the White House Wednesday, President Donald Trump confirmed plans to send violent criminal aliens to Guantanamo Bay Prison, Cuba.

During his remarks Trump expressed concern home countries of a number of criminal aliens aren’t capable of keeping them in prisons or from returning to the United States, which is why the move to GITMO is necessary. He urged Congress to quickly approve funding for the security measure.

Leftist Smear Group Attacking RFK Jr. Led by ‘Queer Trans Activist,’ Funded by Pornhub’s Parent Company

/1 Comment/in , /by

A shadowy, leftist group has targeted Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s nomination to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.

Fight For The Future, a tech advocacy group with leftist leadership, launched a campaign on Jan. 28 to sink the confirmation of Kennedy, whom it smeared as a “bigoted conspiracy theorist” — despite the group’s adherence to wild theories that men can be women, and that President Donald Trump is a “wannabe fascist.” The organization published a petition to pressure senators to keep Kennedy out of office, and a scorecard tracking how lawmakers plan to vote on the nomination.

Kennedy has been a long-time advocate of reforming public health since the 1990s, and he has become the figurehead of the Make America Healthy Again movement. But Fight For The Future claims he will “destroy[] healthcare,” even though America currently spends the most money on healthcare compared to other countries and has a vastly unhealthy population to show for it. Recent polling data also shows the MAHA movement is popular among Americans.

Fight For The Future opposed the “Kids Online Safety Act,” which would have required online platforms to take “reasonable measures” to protect minors from “sexual exploitation and abuse.” Aylo — the parent company of PornHub which admitted to profiting from sex trafficking — gave “$50,000 or more” to the Fight For The Future, according to the group’s website.

DuckDuckGo and Yelp are also listed as Fight For the Future “supporters” who have donated “$50,000 or more.” Pinterest gave “$25,000 or more,” and Proton — the parent company of encrypted email service Proton Mail — gave “$10,000 or more.” (Read more from “Leftist Smear Group Attacking RFK Jr. Led by ‘Queer Trans Activist,’ Funded by Pornhub’s Parent Company” HERE)

Donald Trump Offers All Federal Workers an 8-Month Buyout to Resign

/1 Comment/in , , /by

President Trump continued his crusade to thin out the federal bureaucracy by offering all 2 million federal workers eight months’ salary in exchange for resigning from their positions.

Under the deal, employees who resign by Feb. 6 would receive severance paid through Sept. 30, an unprecedented buyout for the federal government.

White House officials say the move could entice 5% to 10% of the federal workforce to quit, resulting in a savings of around $100 billion. Any government employee is eligible for the buyout, though military personnel are exempt.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said American taxpayers deserve federal employees “who actually show up to work in our wonderful federal buildings, also paid for by taxpayers.”

“If they don’t want to work in the office and contribute to making America great again, then they are free to choose a different line of work, and the Trump administration will provide a very generous payout of 8 months,” she said in a statement.

Federal Judge Temporarily Blocks Trump’s Federal Funds Freeze

/0 Comments/in , /by

A lawsuit by the National Council of Nonprofits led to a federal judge pausing an order by President Donald Trump to freeze some federal funds in order to root out ideological spending from the budget.

U.S. District Judge Loren L. AliKhan issued the temporary pause in the spending freeze just minutes before it was set to go into effect at 5 p.m. on Tuesday. The administrative stay only applies to already existing programs and will only last until Monday afternoon

“It seems like the federal government currently doesn’t actually know the full extent of the programs that are going to be subject to the pause,” said AliKhan in her ruling.

The freeze was communicated to federal departments through a memo from the Office of Management and Budget that explained it was necessary to ensure funds were no longer being used for ideological purposes.

“The use of federal resources to advance Marxist equity, transgenderism, and Green New Deal social engineering policies is a waste of taxpayer dollars that does not improve the day-to-day lives of those we serve,” read the memo.

Transgender Military Members Sue Trump, Hegseth Over Trans Ban

/0 Comments/in , /by

Several transgender members of the military are suing the Trump administration over a ban on transgender service members.

The federal lawsuit was filed by two LGBTQ+ activist organizations on behalf of six active transgender service members and two others who wish to enlist. They argued that the transgender ban violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution.

“This ban betrays fundamental American values of equal opportunity and judging people on their merit,” said Jennifer Levi, the transgender and queer rights senior director for GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders.

“It slams the door on qualified patriots who meet every standard and want nothing more than to serve their country, simply to appease a political agenda,” she added. “That’s not just un-American; it makes our country weaker by pushing away talented service members who put their lives on the line every day for our nation.” . . .

President Donald Trump ordered the ban on transgender military members on Monday. He first issued the ban in his previous term, but it was rescinded by an order from former President Joe Biden in 2021. (Read more from “Transgender Military Members Sue Trump, Hegseth Over Trans Ban” HERE)

Dozens of Former Intel Officials Urge Senators to Confirm Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence

/0 Comments/in , /by

Dozens of top former intelligence officials are urging members of the Senate to confirm President Donald Trump’s nominee for director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, saying she will “begin undoing the gross politicization that has come to characterize intelligence bureaucracies,” Fox News Digital has learned.

Former White House National Security Advisor Robert O’Brien, former Acting Director of National Intelligence Ric Grenell, Navy SEAL veteran and member of the intelligence community Erik Prince and more than four dozen other former intelligence officials penned a letter to Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Tom Cotton, R-Ark., and Vice Chairman Mark Warner, D-Va., on Monday, obtained exclusively by Fox News Digital.

“We, the undersigned former intelligence and national security officials, urge members of the United States Senate to confirm Tulsi Gabbard to serve as President Trump’s Director of National Intelligence,” they wrote. “Her service as DNI will begin undoing the gross politicization that has come to characterize intelligence bureaucracies, which has been to the great detriment of the freedom and security of the United States and its citizens.”

The officials said Gabbard’s experience “more than qualifies her for this important position.”

Gabbard is a military officer with more than 20 years of service and multiple combat deployments. She also served in the U.S. House of Representatives for eight years and served on numerous national security committees.

Trump White House: ‘Mystery’ Drones over New Jersey Were Authorized by the FAA

/1 Comment/in , /by

The “mystery” drones flying over New Jersey and other parts of the country were authorized by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced Tuesday during the first press briefing of the second Trump administration.

Leavitt made the announcement before taking questions from reporters, many of whom were ostracized by the previous administration, including Breitbart News.

“Before I turn to questions, I do have news directly from the President of the United States that was just shared with me in the Oval Office,” Leavitt said.

“From President Trump directly, an update on the New Jersey drones,” she said. “After research and study, the drones that were flying over New Jersey, in large numbers, were authorized to be flown by the FAA for research and various other reasons.”

However, she did not elaborate on what this “research” entailed, nor what the “various other reasons” meant, specifically. She did add that some of the drones were “also hobbyists, recreational and private individuals that enjoy flying drones.” (Read more from “Trump White House: ‘Mystery’ Drones over New Jersey Were Authorized by the FAA” HERE)

Investigation Into Border Patrol Agent Killing in Vermont Reveals Delaware County, Pa. Connection

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Washington state woman charged in connection with the fatal shooting of a U.S. border patrol agent in Vermont had been in frequent contact with someone whom authorities have linked to homicides in Pennsylvania and California, a federal prosecutor said in court documents Monday.

Teresa Youngblut, 21, faces two weapons charges in connection with the death of Border Patrol Agent David Maland, 44, who died Jan. 20 during the shootout in Coventry, a small town about 20 miles (32 kilometers) from the Canadian border.

She had been traveling with Felix Bauckholt, a German citizen who also was killed, and the pair had been under surveillance for several days.

In a motion filed Monday, U.S. Attorney Michael Drescher said Youngblut should be detained as the case proceeds due to the nature of the crime, the weight of evidence against her, her lack of ties to Vermont, and the danger she poses to the community.

According to the motion, the gun used by Youngblut and one that Bauckholt was carrying were purchased by a third person in Vermont last February. The buyer is a person of interest on a double homicide investigation in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, Drescher said.

Tucker Carlson Makes Bombshell Claim About U.S. Attempt to Kill Putin

/0 Comments/in , /by

The United States attempted to assassinate Vladimir Putin during Joe Biden’s presidency, according to a shocking claim by former Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

Political commentator Carlson, who last year travelled to Moscow for a lengthy sit-down interview with the Russian President – dropped the bombshell allegation during an episode of ‘The Tucker Carlson Show’ with US journalist Matt Taibbi.

‘[Ex-US Secretary of State] Tony Blinken was pushing so hard for a real war, trying to kill Putin, for example – which the Biden administration did, they tried to kill Putin.

‘Yes. Yes, they did. Which is insane,’ Carlson said in his most recent episode, hosted on social media platform X.

Without providing evidence for his claim, Carlson went on to imagine a scenario in which the US was successful.

‘If like [Putin was assassinated]… okay, so who takes over Russia?
