President Throws Down With California Democrat: ‘You Made It So Impossible’

President Donald Trump’s Friday night press conference in Pacific Palisades went off the rails after he went back and forth with Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) about state policy on forest management, water, FEMA, and private insurance companies.

Trump landed late Friday afternoon in Los Angeles, where he was greeted by Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom. Trump and Newsom have traded barbs publicly about this month’s deadly L.A. County wildfires.

While seated next to First Lady Melania Trump and one chair over from L.A. Mayor Karen Bass at Friday’s conference, Trump found another nemesis in Sherman.

The longtime House Democrat had already confronted Trump about making federal aid for devastated communities in the area conditional.

‘Biden Forever’: Illegal Haitian Yells for Joe, Obama as ICE Officers Shove Him Into Squad Car

An illegal Haitian migrant openly praised former Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden as Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) agents arrested him in Boston, Massachusetts, for his alleged involvement with a gang.

President Donald Trump’s administration is ramping up its efforts to arrest and deport illegal immigrants, particularly those with lengthy criminal records, and reversed a Biden-era policy that barred Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) from making arrests in schools, churches and other “sensitive locations.” The Haitian migrant who praised Obama and Biden is a gang member with 17 criminal convictions in recent years, Fox News’ Bill Melugin reported Thursday.

“I’m not going back to Haiti,” the man said. “F*ck Trump! You feel me? Yo, Biden forever, bro! Thank Obama for everything he did for me, bro!”

ICE Boston officers confirmed their plan to arrest “extremely violent offenders” in the area and several illegal migrants considered to be threats, including an MS-13 member wanted in El Salvador for aggravated murder, Melugin reported. Officials made eight notable arrests, including an illegal Brazilian national who was wanted for armed robbery, an El Salvadoran national charged locally for rape and an illegal migrant from the Dominican Republic who is charged with deadly assault with a deadly weapon and heroine trafficking.

Acting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Benjamine Huffman said in a Tuesday statement that the reversal of Biden’s programs allows for ICE agents to arrest “criminal aliens,” including rapists and murderers. The current administration reversed another Biden-era policy that allowed for humanitarian parole, which Huffman said allowed “1.5 million migrants to enter our country.” (Read more from “‘Biden Forever’: Illegal Haitian Yells for Joe, Obama as ICE Officers Shove Him Into Squad Car” HERE)

USDA Raises Eyebrows With Hire Of Seed Oil Lobbyist As Agency Chief Of Staff

The incoming chief of staff for the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) in a new administration determined to “make America healthy again” is a junk food lobbyist whose recent experience includes running the National Oilseed Processors Association (NOPA) and the Edible Oil Producers Association (EOPA).

On Tuesday, the USDA announced Kailee Tkacz Buller’s appointment under Secretary-Designate Brooke Rollins, who testified in a confirmation hearing on Capitol Hill Thursday. Buller also previously worked as a lobbyist for the snack industry trade group, SNAC International, and the Corn Refiners Association, another trade association behind ingredients for popular junk foods such as high-fructose corn syrup. The new chief of staff for the USDA became president and CEO of NOPA and EOPA after spending more than three years in the Department of Agriculture under President Trump’s first term.

Buller’s appointment became a trending topic on X Thursday night after Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., published a screenshot of the USDA’s press release.

Some pointed out the hire of a seed oil lobbyist seemingly contradicts the new administration’s platform to “make America healthy again” by way of eliminating corporate influence over the federal government’s most powerful agencies regulating food and medicine.

Judge Dismisses Lawfare Against Doctor Who Exposed Secret Trans Procedures On Kids

A judge dismissed the Department of Justice’s case against a doctor who uncovered secret transgender procedures on kids, assenting to a motion from President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice.

U.S. District Judge David Hittner dismissed the partisan lawfare today against doctor Eithan Haim, who exposed Texas Children’s Hospital (TCH) for performing hidden transgender interventions on children.

Biden’s DOJ had been prosecuting the doctor, but Trump’s DOJ moved to dismiss the case today, as reported by Christopher Rufo, the conservative activist who broke the original story. The acting U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Texas asked to dismiss the “Second Superseding Indictment and all open counts … with prejudice,” according to the motion.

On Friday morning, The Federalist published an article in which Haim said he was expecting potential jail time soon. The same day, a source close to the case — who wished to remain anonymous to avoid retaliation — said the judge was going to require Haim to enter a plea deal by 9 a.m. on Monday or go to jail.

Haim, a Dallas-area doctor, revealed in 2023 that TCH was performing transgender procedures on kids as young as 11. TCH lied about no longer providing the procedures, which Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton had classified as “child abuse” by that point. Texas has since banned gender mutilation of children.

Bureaucrats Privately Fume About Trump Abolishing DEI, Go Into Full Conspiracy Mode

Numerous current and former government employees are complaining and commiserating about the end of internal federal diversity programs in a private Facebook group, images of which have been obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

The bureaucrats — mostly current or former employees of the Department of the Interior’s (DOI) National Park Service (NPS) — likened President Donald Trump’s newly-announced push to root out internal federal “diversity, equity and inclusion” (DEI) programs to McCarthyism and sharply criticized Trump’s orders on the issue. The Trump administration has vowed to discipline federal employees who resist implementing the anti-DEI policy and sent memos to agency personnel with an email address to use for reporting attempts to sidestep the new guidelines.

A Wednesday post to the group by an employee of the Department of Agriculture (USDA), included a screenshot of an email that was sent to USDA employees this week outlining Trump’s new policy on DEI. The email featured in the post included the tip line email address to report violations of the new Trump policy.

“Email I received earlier from USDA about ending [DEI] programs. It’s like the 1950s when they were asking people to rat out their neighbors for being a suspected communist,” the USDA employee wrote in the post.

“For those still in federal employment, reminder that as part of the job you have sworn to uphold and defend the constitution. Not making this as a hint for this specific screenshot, but just in general,” one former USDA employee commented.

MLK Jr.’s Family Responds to Trump Executive Order to Declassify Records, Asks to Review Files Before Release

The family of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. has responded to President Donald Trump’s executive order to declassify records relating to the late civil rights leader’s assassination, requesting that they be granted the “opportunity to review the files as a family prior to its public release.”

Trump, who also ordered the declassification of records relating to the assassinations of former President John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert F. Kennedy on Thursday, stated that “everything will be revealed.”

“A lot of people are waiting for this — for years, for decades. And everything will be revealed,” the newly sworn in president said as he signed the order:

Bernice King, Martin Luther King Jr.’s youngest child, responded to the announcement in a statement on social media on behalf of her family:

Trump Orders Release of Classified Records on JFK, RFK, and MLK Assassinations

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order declassifying the records surrounding the assassinations of three pivotal figures in American history: President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

The announcement came via a video shared on X (formerly Twitter), in which Trump was briefed about the executive order before signing it. The order directs the release of files related to the tragic events surrounding the deaths of these iconic figures, promising to bring long-awaited answers to the public.

“That’s a big one, huh?” Trump responded when informed about the magnitude of the decision. “A lot of people are waiting for this— for years, for decades. And everything will be revealed,” he added, expressing the weight of the decision and the anticipation that has surrounded these cases for decades.

The executive order emphasizes that more than five decades after the assassinations, the American public and the families of the victims still do not have full access to all the government’s records regarding the events. “It is in the national interest to finally release all records related to these assassinations without delay,” the order reads. It stresses the importance of transparency and the public’s right to know the truth about these historical tragedies.

Trump had previously promised to release the documents related to these high-profile assassinations, along with other classified records on topics of significant public interest. He had hinted at this declassification as part of his broader effort to “restore transparency and accountability” within the government, a theme he reiterated after signing the order. “We are going to make public remaining records relating to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, his brother Robert Kennedy, as well as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and other topics of great public interest,” he declared.

‘QAnon Shaman’ Breaks Out Mocking British Accent When Grilled By BBC Host About Jan 6 Guilty Plea

BBC NewsNight’s interview with Jacob Chansley – known as the “QAnon Shaman” – derailed in the most bizarre way when the interviewee refused to say why he pled guilty to his role during the January 6 Capitol riot and instead dropped a baffling British accent to mock host Victoria Derbyshire.

Hours after his inauguration ceremony President Donald Trump issued sweeping pardons for more than 1,500 Capitol riot offenders, including Chansley. Chansley, from Arizona, rose to prominence for his distinct shamanic-style dress on that day when he and other Trump supporters entered the Capitol building following the then-incumbent president’s 2020 election defeat to Joe Biden.

The interview with the BBC kick started with a bang with Chansley mocking the host and slamming her employer repeatedly, as she continued to press him to answer her questions.

As Derbyshire asked whether Chansley had entered the building to overthrow the election, he replied: “I did not go into the building for that reason. And the fact that you still think that I did just shows how distorted the media lens actually is.”

Insisting that it wasn’t her intention to narrativize his story, she questioned Chansley about his guilty plea, pointing out that he pleaded guilty to obstructing an official proceeding, to which Chansley deflected by citing the Supreme Court.

Megyn Kelly Rips Barack Obama for Posting ‘Least Attractive Photo’ of Wife Michelle on Her Birthday Amid Divorce Rumors: ‘She Looks Terrible’

. . .During the Thursday, January 23, episode of “The Megyn Kelly Show,” the famed journalist shared her thoughts on rampant rumors about the former president and first lady potentially experiencing trouble in paradise after Michelle skipped out on Donald Trump ‘s inauguration earlier this week

“I do not know whether this is true at all,” Megyn admitted. “But if it is true, it truly would be a political earthquake in Democrat circles, never mind America.”

“I don’t remember a presidential divorce in modern history,” she noted.

Megyn proceeded to call out Barack, as she criticized the upload he shared for Michelle’s 61st birthday on Friday January 17.

“Some of you are married. Did you see the post he put out to celebrate for their anniversary? He chose the least attractive photo of her that’s ever been released,” the talk show host claimed. “I mean, this is just wrong. Michelle Obama can look very nice in a photograph. This ain’t it.”
