/0 Comments/in , /by

The Trump administration has cancelled all flights on refugees who were slated to enter the United States in the coming days, according to an internal memo obtained by CNN.

Refugees already approved to travel into the U.S. before a White House-imposed deadline suspending resettlement had their flight plans canceled anyway, according to a State Department memo given to resettlement partners and obtained by CNN. The flight cancellations are among the many actions the Trump administration has implemented to tighten immigration and shore up border security.

The flight cancellations are among the many actions the Trump administration has implemented to tighten immigration and shore up border security.

In his executive order announcement, Trump highlighted the plight of small towns like Springfield, Ohio, and Charleroi, Pennsylvania, that have dealt with incredible logistical and infrastructure challenges due to the large influx of refugees. The president also noted that other major jurisdictions, like New York City and Massachusetts, have declared emergencies due to the weight of their migrant populations.

How the NBC News Hit Piece Against Pete Hegseth Just Got Worse, But for a Different Reason

/0 Comments/in , /by

You cannot make this up: one of the NBC News reporters who wrote the shoddy hit piece against President Trump’s nominee for secretary of defense is accused in an internal complaint of making false claims of sexism and misogyny.

You read that right. And she then had the balls to run with this cockamamie story of Mr. Hegseth reportedly being threatening toward his second wife, who later refuted the allegations, characterizing them as inaccurate information. NBC News ran with it anyway. To boot, the allegations weren’t even brought forward by Mr. Hegseth’s ex-wife but by the ex-spouse of his brother. Are you kidding me?

The U.S. Military Is Headed to the Border

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump has deployed thousands of active duty U.S. troops to the southern border with Mexico in an effort to restore deterrence against illegal immigration and trafficking into the country. The move comes just two days after Trump signed an executive order from the Oval Office “directing the military to prioritize our own borders and territorial integrity in strategic planning for its operations.”

“The Armed Forces of the United States have played a long and well-established role in securing our borders against threats of invasion, against unlawful forays by foreign nationals into the United States, and against other transnational criminal activities that violate our laws and threaten the peace, harmony, and tranquility of the Nation. These threats have taken a variety of forms over our Nation’s history, but the Armed Forces have consistently played an integral role in protecting the sovereignty of the United States,” the order states.

“No later than 10 days from the effective date of this order, deliver to the President a revision to the Unified Command Plan that assigns United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) the mission to seal the borders and maintain the sovereignty, territorial integrity, and security of the United States by repelling forms of invasion including unlawful mass migration, narcotics trafficking, human smuggling and trafficking, and other criminal activities.”

Now, 1500 U.S. troops will be initially sent to assist Customs and Border Protection agents with their mission. Their directive could eventually be changed to help will illegal immigrant and cartel arrests. As many as 10,000 could be deployed.

Putin and Xi Vow to ‘Deepen’ Alliance After Trump Returns to White House

/0 Comments/in , /by

Within hours of President Donald Trump’s inauguration on Monday, Chinese and Russian leaders Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin held a 90-minute telephone conference to “deepen strategic coordination” and look out for each other’s interests in the “current global situation.”

“This year, I am ready, together with you, to elevate Chinese-Russian relations to a new level, to counter external uncertainties by preserving stability and resilience of Chinese-Russian relations,” Xi told Putin, according to a transcript of the call posted by the Kremlin.

Putin responded by praising collaborative projects, such as a pipeline operated by Russia’s national energy company Gazprom that carries natural gas to China.

“Five years ago, we launched the Power of Siberia gas pipeline together, and today, Russia has become the leading supplier of natural gas to China,” Putin boasted.

“I believe that the past year was very good for us. It can be said confidently that our foreign policy ties and Russia and China’s joint efforts objectively play a major stabilizing role in international affairs,” he said.

Shocking: Freed Israeli Hostages Say Hamas Used U.N. Facilities to Hide Them

/0 Comments/in , /by

Outrage is intensifying after Israeli hostages recently freed from Gaza revealed they were held in U.N. facilities during their captivity, with critics calling UNRWA a “front for Hamas” that must be “disbanded” immediately.

Last weekend, three Israeli women — Romi Gonen, Emily Damari, and Doron Steinbrecher — were released in a high-stakes prisoner swap, which saw Israel free 90 Palestinian detainees, including convicted terrorists.

The women, who endured nearly a year and a half of harrowing captivity under the terrorist group Hamas, described being detained in United Nations facilities, including tent camps and humanitarian zones administered by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), Israel’s Channel 13 News reports.

Additionally, reports indicate they were held at the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza.

The former hostages are now undergoing rehabilitation, following severe conditions that included long periods in underground confinement without sunlight. One woman recounted being subjected to a medical procedure without anesthesia, underscoring the inhumane treatment they faced.

Four GOP States Sue to Stop Federal Government From Counting Illegals in Census

/0 Comments/in , /by

A group of attorneys general are suing to stop illegal immigrants from diluting the voting power of American citizens.

Attorneys general from Louisiana, Kansas, Ohio, and West Virginia filed a lawsuit on Sunday to stop the Census Bureau from counting illegal immigrants in the census, which is used to apportion congressional seats and electoral votes. The suit alleges that then-President Joe Biden’s administration instructed the bureau to count illegal immigrants in the 2020 census and as a result, Ohio and West Virginia each lost a congressional seat and an electoral vote.

President Donald Trump signed a memo in July of 2020 that barred illegal immigrants to be counted in the census, but former President Joe Biden later reversed the policy. The size of a state’s population affects the number of congressional seats and electoral votes they have.

“After the 2020 Census, [Defendants] included illegal aliens and aliens holding temporary visas … in the census figures used for determining the apportionment of the House of Representatives and Electoral College votes,” the suit reads. “Due to this unlawful decision … Ohio lost one congressional seat and one electoral vote in the reapportionment conducted pursuant to the 2020 Census.”

The suit alleges, in part, that including illegal immigrants in the census robs citizens “of their rightful share of political representation, while systematically redistributing political power to states with high numbers of illegal aliens and nonimmigrant aliens” in violation of the 14th Amendment “and the constitutional principle of equal representation.” (Read more from “Four GOP States Sue to Stop Federal Government From Counting Illegals in Census” HERE)

All Federal Employees in DEI Roles to Be Placed on Paid Leave By Close of Business Today

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Promises made, promises kept. President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order shutting down the woke DEI nonsense within the federal government, and those plans go into effect tomorrow at 5 PM. By the close of business on Tuesday, all federal DEI offices are to close, and its workers will be placed on paid leave. This far-left social experiment, which contributes nothing to society other than wasting taxpayer money, is over.

Russia Sounds off on Trump’s Threat to Retake the Panama Canal

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Russia’s foreign ministry has called on President Donald Trump to reaffirm the current international agreement surrounding the Panama Canal and to leave it in control of the nation of Panama.

Alexander Shchetinin, the director of Russia’s foreign ministry’s Latin American department, told Russian news outlet TASS that he expects Trump “will respect the current international legal regime” of the canal as laid out in two 1977 treaties between the U.S. and Panama.

The agreement relinquished American control over the canal by the year 2000 and guaranteed its neutrality.

Trump has railed against Panama since his sweeping election win in November, accusing the Central American country of letting China dominate the critical maritime trade route and leaving U.S. ships getting “ripped off” in the process. . .

“We expect that during the expected discussions between the leadership of Panama and President Trump on issues of control over the Panama Canal, which certainly falls within the sphere of their bilateral relations, the parties will respect the current international legal regime of this key waterway,” Shchetinin said.

Dismantling the Deep State Begins on Day One of Trump 2.0

/0 Comments/in , /by

As President Donald Trump was preparing to start his second term, corporate media outlets were breathlessly reporting that the Trump transition team had asked “more than a dozen career diplomats to step down.” Scores were said to be “stepping down,” resulting in “an exodus of decorated veterans of the Foreign Service,” the Washington Post reported. . .

The gnashing of teeth from the Pravda press over Trump making good on his pledge to dismantle the deep state was as expected as the president’s swift action. The reporting also was — not surprisingly — not entirely correct.

Reuters, according to sources, reported that among the diplomats asked to take a hike was John Bass, “the agency’s No. 3 official … who was acting undersecretary for political affairs overseeing policy from Asia to Europe and the Middle East.” His imminent departure was first reported by the Washington Post. The State Department updated the diplomat’s bio, noting “John Bass’s term ended on January 20, 2025.”

Reuters and others reported, via their sources, that Lisa Kenna, a career member of the Senior Foreign Service who had served as executive secretariat under Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in Trump’s first presidential term, would take over Bass’ duties. In fact, the president announced Monday that he had named Kenna acting Secretary of State until the confirmation of his nominee, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla. Kenna’s tenure was but a few hours. Early Monday evening, the Senate unanimously confirmed Rubio as Secretary of State, the first of Trump’s nominees to make it through the confirmation process.

Trump’s rapid moves to “clean out the deep state” should come as no surprise to anyone who has been paying attention. He campaigned on it. He has nominated a cabinet team dedicated to deep state disinfecting. On Monday, the new administration made clear that “the State Department will have an America-First foreign policy.” (Read more from “Dismantling the Deep State Begins on Day One of Trump 2.0” HERE)

Schools Aren’t Off-Limits For ICE Raids, Trump DHS Says

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Trump administration on Tuesday said that schools were no longer off-limits for immigration enforcement agents, withdrawing a Biden administration guideline on “sensitive” areas.

“Criminals will no longer be able to hide in America’s schools and churches to avoid arrest,” Acting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Benjamine Huffman said in a Tuesday statement.

“This action empowers the brave men and women in CBP and ICE to enforce our immigration laws and catch criminal aliens—including murderers and rapists—who have illegally come into our country,” the statement continued. “The Trump Administration will not tie the hands of our brave law enforcement, and instead trusts them to use common sense.”

School systems immediately pledged to make ICE’s job as hard as possible, and an Obama-linked progressive group urged them to do so because the more illegal immigrants a school has, the more taxpayer money it gets.

The Century Foundation, a progressive nonprofit that school systems lean on for policy advice, said that principals should meet federal law enforcement at the door and tell them that “district protocols” prohibited them from entering before the principal called the district’s lawyer. Then, the principal should call the child’s parents. Denver, whose enrollment has risen thanks to immigrant children after several years of declining enrollment, was one of several districts that said they would follow a similar procedure.
