LEAKED: Next ATF Director May Be an Anti-Gunner

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Unfortunately, it appears that gun owners were right to be concerned about the appointment of Attorney General Pam Bondi.

According to leaked information that is being reported by the New York Times and now also by pro-gun YouTubers like Jared (of Guns & Gadgets) and Braden Langley, Bondi is considering recommending a “non-ideological” person who is an “older, more seasoned LEO” to be the new head of the ATF.

Her shortlist allegedly includes several former and current top ATF officials.

To put it bluntly, that would be a DISASTER for the Second Amendment.

Biden’s head of the ATF Steven Dettelbach was an “older, non-ideological, more seasoned LEO” – and as millions of gun owners are painfully aware, he spent years leading an all-out assault on our 2A rights!

You know who else was a “seasoned LEO?” The anti-gun radical David Chipman – whose nomination to lead the Biden ATF was torpedoed thanks to GOA members like you. Also, during his first administration, President Trump chose anti-gun president of the Fraternal Order of Police Chuck Canterbury and GOA members had to spend months fighting to tank his nomination.

It would be a mistake for a “pro-gun” administration to appoint another “seasoned” bureaucrat who knows nothing about the Second Amendment.

A lot of harm has been done in the name of “law and order” over the years.

Things such as registering gun owners in the name of fighting crime; attacking a group of loners in Waco, Texas; shutting down long-established gun stores for simple mistakes; abusing mentally handicapped people in gun “stings” in Milwaukee; victimizing pro-gun sheriffs with nonsensical new legal theories; murdering airport executives in Arkansas; and much, much more.

In fact, the ATF is defying judicial rulings against its unconstitutional gun control measures. Despite courts striking down their policies, the ATF has continued attempts to unlawfully enforce its pistol brace ban on multiple occasions—acting as if they are above the law!

Pam Bondi must understand that truly restoring “law and order” in the eyes of gun owners means fundamentally transforming the rogue ATF.

That means appointing an ATF director who will do ALL of the following:

• Stand up to ATF’s rogue officials;

• Help President Trump downsize the federal government (including ATF);

• Unravel Biden’s weaponization of law enforcement (especially ATF);

• Scale back the ATF’s infringements of constitutional rights; and

• Return freedom to the hands of the people to whom it belongs.

Maintaining the corrupt, tyrannical status quo by appointing current or former top ATF officials is not the kind of “law and order” that the American people want or expect.

In fact, President Trump began his second administration by taking an ax to the Deep State that has enabled “seasoned” bureaucrats to run wild in Washington.

He needs to do the same to the ATF by appointing a fighter who will defend the Second Amendment from the lawless bureaucrats who’ve waged war on our God-given rights for far too long.

Ultra-Woke Google Drops Racial Hiring Targets, Will ‘Review’ DEI Practices

/0 Comments/in , /by

Google, the wokest company in all of Silicon Valley, is eliminating its racial hiring quotas and reviewing its DEI programs, joining other tech giants rethinking their approach to “diversity.”

The Wall Street Journal reports that Google announced on Wednesday that it will no longer set specific hiring targets based on race. This decision comes as part of a broader pullback from DEI efforts across Silicon Valley, with companies like Meta and Amazon also scaling back their diversity initiatives.

Google’s move marks a notable reversal from its 2020 commitment to increase the proportion of leadership roles held by “underrepresented groups” by 30 percent by 2025. The announcement was made in an email to employees, which also revealed that the company is currently evaluating the continuation of its annual diversity report, a practice it has maintained since 2014.

The tech giant said it is reviewing its DEI-related grants, training, and initiatives to assess their impact and potential risks. This review is partially in response to recent court decisions and executive orders by President Trump aimed at curbing DEI efforts in the government and among federal contractors.

This is a titanic shift for ultra-woke Google, which infamously launched its Gemini AI image creator in 2024 which rewrote history to include “underrepresented” groups.” (Read more from “Ultra-Woke Google Drops Racial Hiring Targets, Will ‘Review’ DEI Practices” HERE)

Politico Misses Payment to Workers, Raises Suspicion That CIA’s USAID Paid It Without Disclosure

/16 Comments/in , /by

Many are wondering if Politico has received money from the United States Agency for International Development after the publication reportedly was unable to pay its employees as the Trump administration began to close the agency.

Politico was unable to pay workers but sent out an email blaming a glitch in its vendor systems. Critics pounced on the news to accuse the outlet of losing funding after President Donald Trump took over USAID and shut down its funding.

Politico has reportedly not disclosed payments from USAID or any other government entity, and it would be a major scandal if it had received funding and not disclosed it. . .

“Due to what we believe to be a technical error, employees did not receive their paychecks as scheduled. We understand the urgency of this matter and sincerely apologize for the inconvenience,” the email read.

“Our team is working diligently with our systems vendors and the bank to identify the root cause and implement a solution as quickly as possible,” the company added. “We will keep you updated as we learn more and work to resolve the problem as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience and understanding.” (Read more from “Politico Misses Payment to Workers, Raises Suspicion That CIA’s USAID Paid It Without Disclosure” HERE)

Trump Pentagon Reportedly Preparing To Close Curtain On One Of America’s Projects Abroad

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Trump administration is reportedly developing a plan to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria, marking an end to the decade-long excursion in the region, two defense sources told NBC News on Wednesday.

The Department of Defense (DOD) is reportedly drafting a plan to withdraw all 2,000 troops from Syria in either 30, 60 or 90 days, sources told NBC News. Since 2014, the U.S. has maintained a troop presence in the region, mainly to fight the Islamic State out of its headquarters at al-Tanf in southern Syria.

Trump previously expressed his desire to avoid involvement in the region’s civil war, which reignited after a long quiet period after Islamic fundamentalist rebels Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) swiftly toppled President Bashar al-Assad’s regime in December.

“I don’t know who said that. I mean, I don’t know who said that, but we’ll make a determination on that. We’re not getting, we’re not involved in Syria,” Trump said on Jan. 28 in response to rumors that he had informed Israel of his intentions. “Syria is its own mess. They got enough messes over there. They don’t need us involved in everyone.” (Read more from “Trump Pentagon Reportedly Preparing To Close Curtain On One Of America’s Projects Abroad” HERE)

Female Athletes Sue Ivy Leagues After Being Forced To Change In Front Of, Compete Against Man

/0 Comments/in , /by

Several women who were former college athletes filed a lawsuit Tuesday after being forced to compete against a man and share changing rooms and bathrooms with him in 2022.

Grace Estabrook, Ellen Holmquist and Margot Kaczorowski all competed on the University of Pennsylvania’s (UPenn) swim team when transgender-identifying male athlete Lia Thomas was allowed to join the team and use the women’s facilities. The women are suing UPenn as well as Harvard University, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the Ivy League Council of Presidents for allegedly violating Title IX by discriminating against women and causing them “emotional harm,” the lawsuit states.

Many of the details included in the suit stem from the 2022 Ivy League Championships at Harvard during which Thomas shared changing spaces with the female athletes. The university did not provide any separate changing space for Thomas or any female athlete that did not feel comfortable changing in front of the male since all locker rooms were converted into women’s spaces for the competition, the court documents state.

Riley Gaines, a former athlete who also competed against Thomas, said the lawsuit was filed with “serendipitous timing,” as she plans to attend the signing of an executive order Wednesday barring men from competing in women’s sports.

Surrounded by Young Female Athletes, Donald Trump Bans Men From Women’s Sports

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Wednesday banning men from women’s sports, a historic moment in the fight to protect the integrity of women’s spaces from gender activists and ideologues.

“From now on,” he said to massive applause from those assembled, “women’s sports will be for only women.”

“With this executive order, the war on women’s sports is over,” he added.

The president signed the order in the East Room of the White House, surrounded by young schoolgirls, female athletes, and advocates, including Independent Women’s Forum ambassadors Riley Gaines, Paula Scanlon, and Peyton Edwards; journalist Sage Steele; Concerned Women for America’s Penny Nance, and others.

“If we have to worry about them, we have a bigger problem,” he joked to his Secret Service agents as the crowd of middle-school-aged girls rushed to his side for the signing. “What a nice picture this is!” (Read more from “Surrounded by Young Female Athletes, Donald Trump Bans Men From Women’s Sports” HERE)

Mitch McConnell, 83, Falls Down Stairs in Capitol Building

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) fell down the stairs outside the Senate chamber Wednesday, where reporters watched the octogenarian regain his footing.

McConnell got up with the help of Sens. Steve Daines (R-MT) and Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) and tried to walk it off.

McConnell also fell in December, continuing a pattern that raised alarms in 2023, leaving him with a hurt wrist, bruised hand, and bandages on his finger and face.

McConnell was treated for a concussion last year. That injury occurred upon falling at a hotel in Washington, DC. It was one of his many health issues in 2023, CNN reported. (Read more from “Mitch McConnell, 83, Falls Down Stairs in Capitol Building” HERE)

Trump Freezes Millions in USAID Funds for Foreign Media, Triggering Globalist Outrage

/0 Comments/in , /by

American taxpayers are no longer subsidizing foreign media once funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), prompting leftwing concern over the potential impact on global journalism and “democracy.”

President Donald Trump put a 90 day hold on all USAID’s foreign aid this week, which subsequently cut $268 million from media outlets in more than 30 countries, according to the agency’s 2025 foreign aid budget reported by Reporters Without Borders (RWB).

USAID’s 2023 fact sheet, taken offline due to the hold, boasted the agency supported 6,200 journalists, 707 news outlets, 279 media-sector civil society organizations, the Columbia Journalism Review reported.

“We have articles scheduled until the end of January, but after that, if we haven’t found solutions, we won’t be able to publish anymore,” a journalist from a Belarusian reporter told RWB. . .

As the savings enraged foreign media, it caused great concern among Democrats, who claim USAID’s work is imperative. (Read more from “Trump Freezes Millions in USAID Funds for Foreign Media, Triggering Globalist Outrage” HERE)

ESPN Gets Dragged For Temper Tantrum After Trump Bans Men From Ruining Women’s Sports

/2 Comments/in , /by

The woke-scolds running ESPN threw a temper tantrum on Wednesday over President Trump’s efforts to keep men out of women’s sports — and boy, oh boy, did it not end well for them.

While “reporting” on the president’s executive order designed to restore fairness in sports by preventing trans-identifying males from competing against female athletes, the Disney-owned sports media company went out of its way to regurgitate tenants of leftists’ asinine and dangerous gender ideology. In a tweet linking to an article detailing Trump’s order, ESPN described males as “people who were biologically assigned male at birth.”

“President Donald Trump will sign an executive order Wednesday designed to prevent people who were biologically assigned male at birth from participating in women’s or girls’ sporting events,” the tweet reads.

The linked article also used the phrase “assigned male at birth” to describe human males.

In its piece, ESPN hyperbolically claimed that Trump’s new directive “marks another aggressive shift by the Republican president’s second administration in the way the federal government deals with transgender people and their rights.” The outlet also gave credence to the false premise that individuals can change their sex by referring to track athlete Sadie Schreiner — a woman-pretending man — as a “transgender woman.” (Read more from “ESPN Gets Dragged For Temper Tantrum After Trump Bans Men From Ruining Women’s Sports” HERE)

In 2024, Texas’ Pro-Life Laws Saved Countless Women And Unborn Babies

/1 Comment/in , /by

Pro-life laws in Texas are responsible for saving the lives of countless women and unborn babies in 2024, but the state’s work to protect both mothers and their children from the abortion industry is not over yet.

According to the updated Induced Terminations of Pregnancy (ITOP) report released by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) this week, physicians and hospitals in the Lone Star State performed zero elective abortions last year.

Ever since the Texas Heartbeat Act went into effect in September 2021, which effectively banned ending the lives of unborn babies beyond six weeks gestation, thousands of pregnant women and their children have escaped the life-threatening harms that are caused by abortion.

When the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022 and the state’s prohibition on ending life in the womb unless a woman’s life or one of her major bodily functions was in danger went into effect, abortions in Texas tumbled even further. The red state went from recording thousands of elective abortions each month to receiving zero reports of elective abortions each year starting in 2023 and extending into 2024.

“These numbers make it absolutely clear that Texas’ pro-life laws are protecting women and unborn babies in our state,” Communications Director for Texas Alliance for Life Amy O’Donnell said in a statement. “No doctor has been prosecuted, sued, or sanctioned for providing an abortion to save a woman’s life. No woman has lost her life for lack of an exception in the law. Misinformation suggesting otherwise spreads unnecessary fear among pregnant women and misleads the public about what our laws actually say.” (Read more from “In 2024, Texas’ Pro-Life Laws Saved Countless Women And Unborn Babies” HERE)
