Social Media Cheers as White House Deputy Chief of Staff ‘Torches’ Press Corps: ‘I Love This’

Stephen Miller gave the White House press corps a “civics lesson” on presidential powers at Thursday’s press briefing, to the delight of conservatives.

The White House deputy chief of staff for policy responded to a question comparing media concerns about Elon Musk serving as an “unelected bureaucrat” while ignoring former President Joe Biden’s declining mental state.

“You’re tempting me to say very harsh things about some of our media friends,” he began. “It is true that many of the people in this room for four years failed to cover the fact that Joe Biden was mentally incompetent and was not running the country.”

“It is also true that many people in this room who have used this talking point that Elon is not elected fail to understand how government works. So I’m glad for the opportunity for a brief civics lesson,” he continued.

“A president is elected by the whole American people. He’s the only official in the entire government that is elected by the entire nation, right? Judges are appointed. Members of Congress are elected at the district or state level. The Constitution, Article II has a clause known as the Vesting Clause. And it says the executive power shall be vested in a president, singular. The whole will of democracy is imbued into the elected president. That president then appoints staff to then impose that democratic will onto the government.”

Trump, Musk Emphasize the Importance of ‘Full Transparency’ in DOGE Efforts

President Donald Trump and DOGE head Elon Musk emphasized the role of “full transparency” in efforts to root out waste, fraud and abuse in an exclusive interview on “Hannity.”

“You know what’s better than saying ‘trust me’? It’s just full transparency. So what we’re doing with DOGE, just go to DOGE.gov. You can see every single action that has been taken,” Musk told Fox News host Sean Hannity during a segment that aired Wednesday.

Trump and Musk discussed a range of topics during their wide-ranging interview, including DOGE and the president’s first 100 days in office.

Trump tapped Musk to lead DOGE with the aim of dismantling government bureaucracy, slashing regulations, cutting wasteful spending and restructuring federal agencies.

“To me, it was important for people to understand he’s doing a big job. He’s doing a very thankless job. It’s really a thankless job. But he’s helping us to save our country. Our country is in serious trouble. And I had to get the best guy,” Trump said. (Read more from “Trump, Musk Emphasize the Importance of ‘Full Transparency’ in DOGE Efforts” HERE)

German Police Raid Homes Over Online ’Hate Speech’ Posts

American broadcaster CBS followed German police as they raided homes for speech crimes, such as posting a “racist cartoon” on the internet, which prosecutors in the country defended as a supposedly necessary safeguard to protect democracy.

Just days after U.S. Vice President JD Vance lambasted Germany and other European states for failing to live up to Western ideals of liberty, particularly on the issue of free speech, CBS’s 60 Minutes news magazine broadcast footage of police raids over social media posts and interviews with prosecutors defending the draconian practice.

“It’s 6:01 on a Tuesday morning, and we were with state police as they raided this apartment in Northwest Germany. Inside six armed officers searched a suspect’s home, then seized his laptop and cellphone. Prosecutors say those electronics may have been used to commit a crime, the crime; posting a racist cartoon online,” 60 Minutes anchor Sharyn Alfonsi described.

Unlike the United States, where the First Amendment protects citizens from being arrested over so-called “hate speech”, it is a very different story in Germany.

Local prosecutors told the American broadcaster that there are currently 16 dedicated police task forces monitoring “hate speech” on the German web, with around 3,500 cases per year. Prosecutor Frank-Michael Laue told the news programme that his unit alone has successfully secured 750 speech crime convictions over the past four years.

Zelensky: ‘We Believe That Putin Will Wage War Against NATO’

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that his country has intelligence that Russian President Vladimir Putin plans to “wage war” against NATO countries. . .

Zelensky added, “That is why I told you that, ‘What is he waiting for?’ For a weakening of NATO by, for instance, policy of the United States of America, for example, that the United States of America will think to take its military from Europe. Yes, Putin thinks of that. But I will believe that the United States will not take its forces, its contingents from Europe because that will severely weaken NATO and the European continent. Putin definitely counts on that. And the fact that we receive information that he will think of the invasion against former Soviet republics. And forgive me, but today these are NATO countries.” (Read more from “Zelensky: ‘We Believe That Putin Will Wage War Against NATO’” HERE)

‘Unbelievably Baffling’: Joe Rogan Says The Quiet Part Out Loud About Corporate Media’s DOGE Coverage

Podcast host Joe Rogan criticized corporate media Wednesday for its negative reporting on Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), pointing to outlets totally ignoring instances of waste uncovered at the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

Since Musk announced plans to shutter USAID on Feb. 3, CNN and MSNBC used the phrase “constitutional crisis” over 200 times, the Daily Caller News Foundation learned in a keyword search of footage archived by Grabien News. Rogan, on “The Joe Rogan Experience,” accused media outlets of choosing to attack President Donald Trump and Musk’s USAID plan and fixating on DOGE staffers accessing Americans’ data.

“What’s unbelievably baffling to me is the complete absence of the coverage of all of these things that should be very concerning in mainstream media,” Rogan said “Complete absence. All the discussion, the negative anti-Trump discussion about USAID shutting down, is all the good that it does.”

“And then also, you’re going to get access to people’s private data — that’s all you’re hearing,” he continued. “You’re hearing the gaslighting spin is those two things.”

USAID sent 65.5 million condoms, 9.8 million injectable birth control products and 334,000 IUDs to other countries in fiscal year 2022 to facilitate family planning, particularly in the third world. It also distributed a $2 million grant to Guatemala to fund “gender-affirming care” and LGBTQ activism.

Trump Smokes HuffPost Reporter In Brief Exchange On Air Force One (VIDEO)

President Donald Trump shut down a HuffPost reporter on Sunday as he traveled on Air Force One to New Orleans, Louisiana, to take in Super Bowl LIX.

S.V. Date, HuffPost’s senior White House correspondent, was also on board the president; plane — and asked Trump about a comment he claimed was made earlier in the day by Vice President JD Vance.

“The Vice President suggested that if the Supreme Court rules in a way that you don’t like, they could just enforce it by themselves. Do you agree with that?” Date asked.

“I don’t know even what you’re talking about,” Trump replied, adding, “Neither do you. Who are you with?” (Read more from “Trump Smokes HuffPost Reporter In Brief Exchange On Air Force One (VIDEO)” HERE)

Black Man Makes Powerful Case for Why We Need More White Babies in the US

Jesse Lee Peterson, a black conservative talk show host, political commentator, and Christian minister, has a message that made Dr. Phil do a double take: we need more white American babies.

He has a point.

So, what’s behind the massive drop in white birth rates? It’s a complex issue with many moving parts, but one of the biggest factors is the left’s “Diversity Is Our Strength” agenda. This isn’t just some feel-good slogan—it’s the foundation of what’s commonly called the Great Replacement theory, which, at this point, is looking less like a theory and more like a really scary reality.

Even so, in today’s woke world, speaking about needing more white American babies is now considered a thoughtcrime. So, as you can imagine, Jesse’s message wasn’t well received by many because we’ve been conditioned to believe that anything white is automatically racist. Suggesting that the white American race is good, productive, and should thrive is now considered some of the most offensive chatter out there—and it’s not only rejected by liberals but even by some on the right who have fallen into the trap of thinking that acknowledging the value of white identity is wrong and hurts people of color.

This is just more proof of the relentless brainwashing the left and their propaganda media machine have been pushing for ages, and Jesse Lee Peterson is crushing it with a mighty blow. (Read more from “Black Man Makes Powerful Case for Why We Need More White Babies in the US” HERE)

Ukrainian Military Selling ‘Up to Half’ of US Arms It Receives, With CIA Profiting off It, Tucker Carlson Claims

Tucker Carlson said he knows for a fact the Ukrainian military is selling upwards of half of the armaments it receives from the United States.

Carlson made several big claims during an episode of “The Tucker Carlson Show,” including that the CIA is profiting off the sale of arms that are meant to go to Ukraine.

Carlson was speaking with Lt. Col. Daniel Davis, a retired United States Army officer who was awarded a Bronze Star, his second, during the war in Afghanistan. About halfway through their conversation, Carlson stated that Ukraine has been selling U.S. weapons to Mexican cartels.

The host said it was a “fact,” not a “guess,” that the “Ukrainian military is selling a huge percentage, up to half, of the arms” the United States sends it. . .

“They’re selling it, and a lot of it winds up with the drug cartels on our border,” Carlson went on. “So this is a crime, what’s happening. Our intel agencies are fully aware of this. You tell me they’re not profiting from this? Of course, you think [the] CIA is not profiting from this? Yes, they are. I can’t prove that, but I believe that. What, they don’t know this? I know this, but they don’t know this? They know this. And no one is saying it.”

WATCH: Rowdy Eagles Fans Clash With Police, Destroy Property as Super Bowl Chaos Descends on Philly

Thousands of Eagles fans spilled out of bars and onto the streets of Philadelphia Sunday night after watching their team defeat the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 in Super Bowl LIX.

The city had opted not to grease the light poles even though a fan died two weeks ago after falling from a light pole after the NFC Championship Game. Despite that tragedy, Eagles fans showed no hesitation in climbing to the top of light poles, cars, construction vehicles, garbage trucks, small buildings, and almost anything else they could find.

Some fans clashed with and taunted police as officers attempted to keep the crowd confined to certain areas and under control.
