Is Trump Committing an Unforced Error Here?

/1 Comment/in , , /by

President Donald J. Trump has had enough with one Republican congressman: Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) is someone the president wants jettisoned from Congress. Massie has usually been the lone rebel on a host of GOP-led legislation. Some of his reasons are not out of line; he’s sticking with his principles. Yet, Massie’s opposition to the six-month continuing resolution Trump and the GOP leadership want passed to prevent a government shutdown and not disrupt the budget reconciliation process, deporting illegal aliens, rebuilding our military, and the work done by the Department of Government Efficiency led to the president threatening the Kentucky Republican with a primary threat:

Thank you to the House Freedom Caucus for just delivering a big blow to the Radical Left Democrats and their desire to raise Taxes and SHUT OUR COUNTRY DOWN! They hate America and all it stands for. That’s why they allowed MILLIONS of Criminals to invade our Nation. Sometimes it takes great courage to do the right thing. Congressman Thomas Massie, of beautiful Kentucky, is an automatic “NO” vote on just about everything, despite the fact that he has always voted for Continuing Resolutions in the past. HE SHOULD BE PRIMARIED, and I will lead the charge against him. He’s just another GRANDSTANDER, who’s too much trouble, and not worth the fight. He reminds me of Liz Chaney before her historic, record breaking fall (loss!). The people of Kentucky won’t stand for it, just watch. DO I HAVE ANY TAKERS??? Anyway, thank you again to the House Freedom Caucus for your very important vote. We need to buy some time in order to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, GREATER THAN EVER BEFORE. Unite and Win!!!

Former Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Spewed This Totally Bonkers Anti-Trump Line

/0 Comments/in , , /by

As Sarah wrote yesterday, Mark Carney is the new leader of Canada’s Labour Party and is insane. But before the leadership election, Chrystia Freeland, the former deputy prime minister, ran for the position, where she said that British nukes could protect Canada from Donald Trump (via The Telegraph):

Canada should seek closer ties with Britain because its nuclear weapons can help protect the country against Donald Trump, a Liberal party leader running to replace Justin Trudeau has said.

Chrystia Freeland, the former deputy prime minister under Mr Trudeau, said that US president is “clearly threatening our sovereignty” with his campaign to absorb Canada as the 51st state of America.

In order to “guarantee our security”, Ms Freeland said she would build closer security partnerships with European Nato allies and “I would be sure that France and Britain were there, who possess nuclear weapons”.

“I would be working urgently with those partners to build a closer security relationship… in a time when the United States can be a threat,” said the ex-foreign minister and finance minister at the final Liberal leadership debate…

Dem Senator Ditches Wife for CEO of Democrat Media Operation

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) has become more vocal, exposing voters to his insufferable tendencies. Elitism thy name is Murphy. The guy is a left-wing blowhard who doesn’t do much but whine. If it’s not that, it’s leading attacks against the Second Amendment. You don’t need to do much to be elected from Connecticut as a Democrat. Yet, Mr. Murphy might be another example of the Democrat-media complex at work literally.

He recently left his wife and shacked up with the CEO of a pro-Democrat news operation. Both parties declined to comment for Semafor:

One of the Democratic Party’s most notable digital media leaders is dating one of the party’s most media-friendly lawmakers, according to a Washington Democrat and a pointed Instagram post.

Tara McGowan, the CEO of the network of digital media sites known as Courier Newsroom, has been linked to Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy, who recently separated from his wife. McGowan posted a selfie of the duo last week on her private Instagram, captioned “not postponing joy,” which was shared with Semafor.

In recent months, Murphy has become one of the most visible Democratic lawmakers, speaking out against President Donald Trump and Elon Musk in television and digital media interviews and posting his own vertical videos across social media — taking a page out of a media playbook that McGowan and other Democratic digital strategists have pushed since Trump’s victory in November.

‘God Makes No Mistakes’: Major Decision for Teacher Fired for Not Using Student’s Trans Pronouns

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A Wisconsin school district agreed to pay out $20,000 to a teacher who was terminated for refusing to use preferred names and pronouns for transgender students.

Jordan Cernek, an English teacher, sued the Argyle School District in July 2024 after his contract was not renewed, alleging the district violated his right to free exercise of his religion and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

“Mr. Cernek has a sincerely held religious belief that God makes no mistakes when it comes to sex and gender and that calling a transgender student by a name or pronouns at odds with their biological sex would cause Mr. Cernek to affirm that God made a mistake in creating a transgender person as a male or a female,” the lawsuit filed by the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty stated. “In Mr. Cernek’s religious view, affirming a transgender person’s identity through the use of preferred names and pronouns would be speaking a falsehood and violate his religious beliefs.”

The case was dismissed in February after parties reached the settlement, according to court records. (Read more from “‘God Makes No Mistakes’: Major Decision for Teacher Fired for Not Using Student’s Trans Pronouns” HERE)

Obamas ‘Soft Launching’ a Divorce?

Are the Obamas ‘soft launching’ a divorce?

Rumors the Obamas were headed for a divorce began in December after Michelle Obama skipped Jimmy Carter’s funeral and announced she wouldn’t be attending Trump’s inauguration.

It was also recently reported that Barack and Michelle Obama’s largest donors have dropped them amid rumors about their marriage.

Last month Meghan McCain added fuel to the long-swirling speculation surrounding the marriage of Barack and Michelle Obama, claiming that her sources have confirmed the former first couple is living “separate lives.”

“I have been hearing this rumor that the Obamas are getting a divorce from very reputable people,” McCain revealed on political reporter Tara Palmeri’s podcast, “Somebody’s Gotta Win with Tara Palmeri.”

“I’m not talking about TMZ. I’m not talking about Perez Hilton, although I love him, he’s my friend. I’m talking about serious journalists telling me the divorce rumors are true.” (Read more from “Obamas ‘Soft Launching’ a Divorce?” HERE)

COVID Booster Vaccine Reawakens World’s Deadliest Virus Inside Man’s Body

/91 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Mail. Doctors have revealed an extremely rare case that saw the Covid vaccine reawaken a deadly virus inside a man’s body.

The unnamed 47-year-old had been living with a dormant tuberculosis infection that was not causing symptoms when he received his booster shot in India.

Five days after vaccination he he began experiencing ‘severe constitutional symptoms’ including fever, fatigue and night sweats.

Doctors discovered that his immune system, now stronger from the vaccine, started attacking the TB infection too aggressively, causing inflammation and the flare-up of symptoms.

He was diagnosed with tuberculosis immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (TB-IRIS), marking the first known case linked to a Covid booster. (Read more from “COVID Booster Vaccine Reawakens World’s Deadliest Virus Inside Man’s Body” HERE)

Troops Booted Over COVID Vaccine Show Limited Interest in Rejoining

By The Military Times. Roughly 650 Marines and Army soldiers who were forced out of the military for refusing to get the COVID-19 vaccine have so far expressed interest in returning to the force under an executive order from President Donald Trump, officials said this week.

The number represents about 8% of the roughly 8,200 troops who had been discharged. The total, officials say, confirms military leaders’ early view that many troops have moved on with their lives. They have been allowed to rejoin since 2023, and Trump’s offer of providing back pay may be a factor in spurring a bit more interest now.

The Army and Marine Corps have been sending out emails, texts and phone calls to service members discharged for refusing a pandemic-era order to get the vaccine. The Navy and the Air Force are planning to begin their efforts to contact service members, but are waiting for additional guidance. The totals would likely increase once their formal notices go out.

Officials stressed that the numbers are very preliminary because troops have only expressed interest in reenlisting and haven’t actually taken steps to formally do so. They will have to go through the enlistment procedure again, pass all required legal and moral standards and physical fitness requirements and agree to reenlist for at least two years.

Trump has argued that the vaccine mandate wrongly pushed troops out and suggested that many would return. In an executive order signed a week after he took office, Trump said that the mandate cost the military “some of our best people” and he vowed to “rehire every patriot who was fired from the military with … backpay.” (Read more from “Troops Booted Over COVID Vaccine Show Limited Interest in Rejoining” HERE)

Woman Permanently Injured by Male in Volleyball Game Now Accused of ‘Bullying’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Payton McNabb, the former high school volleyball player whose sports career was ruined after a male spiked the ball in her face, also faced punishment from her sorority for the crime of confronting a man who was using the women’s restroom.

McNabb’s story has gained more attention after President Donald Trump invited her to his speech to Congress Tuesday and after Senate Democrats voted against a bill to exclude men from women’s sports Monday. While the president noted McNabb’s tragic backstory, her sorority’s move against her has yet to be reported.

The sorority Delta Zeta expelled McNabb on May 20, 2024, finding her guilty of violating the sorority’s “Anti-Bullying Policy” and of engaging in “Moral-Prejudicial Conduct.” The bullying violation involves any activity “reasonably perceived as being dehumanizing, intimidating, hostile, threatening, or otherwise likely to evoke fear of physical harm or emotional distress.” The prejudicial conduct violation involves conduct that may bring the sorority “into disrepute.”

Her offense? Calmly confronting a man in a dress in a women’s restroom, recording him out of fear for her safety, and posting the video on X to warn other young women.

51st State? Canadian Province ‘Fed Up’ With Trudeau, Some Seek to Join U.S.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A Canadian lawyer is leading efforts to explore the possibility of Alberta joining the United States, as President Donald Trump continues to push for closer ties with Canada’s energy-rich province.

“There’s literally hundreds of Albertans that are reaching out and volunteering to join our delegation,” Jeffrey Rath said on “Fox & Friends” Thursday.

Rath and a small group of Albertans are planning to travel to Washington, D.C., to discuss potential pathways for Alberta, including independence with economic ties to the U.S., territorial status, or full statehood.

He believes the movement will gain traction as dissatisfaction with Canada’s federal leadership grows.

Rath argues that Alberta, home to 4.9 million people and a major hub for oil, manufacturing, and construction, has little in common with Canada’s political elite. (Read more from “51st State? Canadian Province ‘Fed Up’ With Trudeau, Some Seek to Join U.S.” HERE)

Gunmen in Mexico Kidnapped, Dismembered Nine Innocent Beach-Bound Students

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Authorities in Mexico have remained tight-lipped about the reason behind the kidnapping, torture, and dismemberment of nine students who were traveling through Mexico to a beach town in southern Mexico. The mass killing comes as the Trump Administration imposed a series of tariffs on Mexico as a punitive measure for the “intolerable relationship” between Mexico’s government and drug cartels.

The incident occurred on Sunday in the south-central part of Mexico along a highway near the state border between Puebla and Oaxaca. Authorities found one sedan with a total of nine bodies inside or strewn around the vehicle. Some of the victims had their hands severed, while others were entirely dismembered. All victims had been shot and showed signs of torture.

According to the Puebla Sun newspaper, the nine victims were all students from Tlaxcala who traveled to the beach hotspot of Huatulco, Oaxaca, when they went missing. Their relatives reported them missing on February 27, and it wasn’t until March 2 that authorities discovered their bodies inside the sedan. The victims are described as four women and five men.

Mexican authorities have so far refused to provide case details, claiming they are following various investigation theories.

The case comes at the same time that the White House imposed a series of tariffs on Mexico and announced that the country was protecting terrorist drug cartels, Breitbart Texas reported. (Read more from “Gunmen in Mexico Kidnapped, Dismembered Nine Innocent Beach-Bound Students” HERE)

If The Supreme Court Is Going To Ignore The Constitution, Trump Should Ignore The Supreme Court

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Supreme Court’s shocking decision on Wednesday to allow a D.C. district court judge to order the Trump administration to disburse $2 billion in federal grant money is a major blow to the separation of powers undergirding our constitutional system of government.

But the thing about separation of powers is that they stand or fall together. All three branches of our government — legislative, executive, and judicial — have to respect the Constitution’s clear separation of powers. If one of them doesn’t, there’s no reason that the others should.

Put another way, if the Supreme Court can simply disregard the Executive branch’s constitutional authority and allow it to be usurped by an inferior federal court, which is what happened, then there’s no reason the Executive branch under Trump should pay any attention to what the Supreme Court says in this case, because it’s trying to assert an authority it simply doesn’t have.

So here’s what happened. As part of an administration-wide effort to crack down on fraudulent and wasteful federal spending, President Trump ordered a review of all federal grants, and also ordered that payments on all grants should be paused while the review is ongoing. Some of those grant recipients sued, and in a 5-4 decision handed down Wednesday, the Supreme Court denied a request by the Trump administration to vacate a recent ruling by D.C. District Court Judge Amir Ali (a Biden appointee) that ordered the State Department and United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to disburse about $2 billion in federal grants to nongovernmental groups for “work already completed.”

In mid-February, Ali had issued a temporary restraining order that prohibited the Trump administration from pausing the disbursement of funds, arguing that the respondents were likely to succeed in showing the government violated the Administrative Procedures Act. After issuing this restraining order, Ali apparently grew frustrated by the slow pace of the disbursement of funds and on Feb. 25 issued a second order requiring the government to pay out about $2 billion in grant funds within 36 hours.
