Trump Plays Economic Cheerleader-in-Chief at State of the Union 2026 — Using Hockey Champs to Show USA ‘Winning’

/4 Comments/in , /by

President Trump boasted he pulled off an economic “turnaround for the ages” in the longest State of the Union address in history — while using the US Olympics men’s hockey team as evidence that the country was “winning” like never before.

Trump played cheerleader-in-chief to a vast TV audience, describing the country as thriving while bringing stability to the world — and dusting off his signature campaign line about voters fearing the country would be “winning too much” on his watch.

The president took the opportunity to attack the Supreme Court for striking down his “reciprocal” tariffs — which he credited for bringing America’s economic “turnaround” — and blamed Democrats for having “caused” the affordability crisis.

Trump also touted new economic proposals to ban investors from scooping up homes, force drug companies to lower prices, require healthcare pricing transparency and restrict members of Congress from stock trading.

“Our country is winning again. In fact, we’re winning so much that we really don’t know what to do about it,” Trump told the joint session of Congress in his 1 hours and 48 minute address, praising the US men’s hockey team for having demonstrated this best by bringing home the gold.

100-Year-Old Korean War Veteran Receives Medal of Honor During State of the Union 2026 Address

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump awarded a Medal of Honor during Tuesday night’s State of the Union address to a 100-year-old Korean War veteran — who received a standing ovation that lasted for several minutes.

Trump bestowed veteran fighter pilot E. Royce Williams, a retired Navy captain who shot down four Soviet MiG-15 jets in a classified 1952 operation that remained hidden from the American public for decades, with the nation’s highest military decoration near the end of his speech to Congress.

“Royce was in the dogfight of a lifetime,” the president said of Williams’ heroics.

“His squadron was ambushed by seven Soviet fighter planes,” Trump continued. “It was his first aerial combat of the war, and despite being massively outnumbered and outgunned, Royce led the take down of four enemy jets and almost destroyed the others – vanquishing his adversaries while taking 263 bullets to his own plane and being seriously hurt.”

“His story was secret for over 50 years … but the legend grew and grew.” (Read more from “100-Year-Old Korean War Veteran Receives Medal of Honor During State of the Union 2026 Address” HERE)

US Inches Toward War With Iran as Trump Says Tehran ‘Can’t Say the Sacred Phrase’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The nation inched closer to war with Iran Tuesday as President Trump signaled Tehran isn’t playing ball with his demands to abandon all nuclear enrichment.

Trump claimed to network news anchors over lunch that Iran “desperately wants a deal” — but “can’t say” it despite the president’s massive naval firepower assembled offshore.

“Iran desperately wants a deal. But Iran just can’t say the sacred phrase ‘we won’t build nuclear weapons,’” Trump said at the traditional pre-State of the Union lunch, Fox News anchor Bret Baier reported.

Trump told media bigwigs, however, that there would be “important negotiations Thursday in Geneva.”

Secretary of State Marco Rubio and CIA Director John Ratcliffe, meanwhile, briefed eight senior members of Congress Tuesday afternoon on possible attacks. (Read more from “US Inches Toward War With Iran as Trump Says Tehran ‘Can’t Say the Sacred Phrase’” HERE)

Trump DOJ Email Calling Epstein’s Death ‘Murder’ Surfaces

/1 Comment/in , , /by

A Justice Department attorney appears to have called Jeffrey Epstein’s death a “murder” in a newly unsealed email from 2020.

The email, uncovered from the latest release of DOJ files on the convicted sex offender, shows an individual identifying themselves as an “AUSA in EDNY”—likely an assistant U.S. attorney in the Eastern District of New York—referring to a supposed “investigation into the murder of Jeffrey Epstein.”

Dated June 11, 2020, when President Donald Trump was in his first term, the email joins a string of revelations that appear to clash with the official ruling that Epstein’s death in a New York City jail cell in 2019 was a suicide.

“I’m an AUSA in EDNY and am working on an investigation into the death of an inmate at the Brooklyn MDC,” the email reads. The DOJ has redacted both the sender and the recipient.

“The OCME told me that it signed a confidentiality agreement in connection with the investigation into the murder of Jeffrey Epstein. We were hoping to extend a similar agreement and I wanted to see if you could share the agreement (or a boilerplate version of it).” (Read more from “Trump DOJ Email Calling Epstein’s Death ‘Murder’ Surfaces” HERE)

Massie Seeks to Undo Trump’s Cancer-Causing Pro-Glyphosate Executive Order

/0 Comments/in , /by

At least one Republican lawmaker is formally pushing back on President Trump’s effort to boost a controversial herbicide, glyphosate, that’s reviled by supporters of the “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) movement.

Trump this week stoked MAHA fury by issuing an executive order that seeks to “ensure an adequate supply” of glyphosate as a national security issue and grant “immunity” to makers of the pesticide under the Defense Production Act.

In response, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) drafted legislation to prevent the order’s implementation. Massie’s legislation also seeks to explicitly allow citizens to bring lawsuits related to exposure to glyphosate, the key ingredient in the frequently litigated Roundup weedkiller.

“This week I will introduce the ‘No Immunity for Glyphosate Act’ to undo the recent Executive Order which promotes glyphosate (Round-Up) and insulates manufacturers from liability,” Massie, who has broken with Trump on multiple issues, wrote on the social platform X.

Rep. Chellie Pingree (D-Maine) wrote on X that she was co-leading the effort.

White House Reveals Who Trump Will Invite As Main State Of The Union Address Guest

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump’s guests for his State of the Union address will include Sage Blair, a young woman who was separated from her parents at age 14 after school officials attempted to secretly transition her to a male, the Daily Caller has exclusively learned.

Blair, who is now reunited with her parents and attending Liberty University, will be joined by her mom, Michele, a White House official shared with the Caller. The president plans on telling Blair’s story Tuesday during his State of the Union address where he will also call on states to ban sex transitioning operations for minors.

An official told the Caller that the White House believes this is a popular, common-sense policy, similar to keeping men out of women’s sports – which they have also opposed. The president hopes to “expose how out of touch the Democrats’ position on this issue is” during his address, the official added.

Michele Blair sued her daughter’s school district, Appomattox County Public Schools, in 2023. She argued that the school district in Virginia failed to notify her that her daughter had tried to change her gender while the teachers encouraged her to use male facilities.

The lawsuit further claimed that because the school withheld information about Sage from Michele, it led to the daughter’s declining mental state and eventually caused her to run away from home. Sage Blair was kidnapped, drugged and raped by sex traffickers, the lawsuit stated.

Text Message Reportedly Reveals Motivation Of ‘Deeply Disturbed’ Man Killed Attempting To Breach Mar-a-Lago

/14 Comments/in , , /by

By Daily Caller. The man killed by Secret Service agents Sunday while attempting to breach President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida had an apparent obsession with the release of files pertaining to deceased child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, TMZ reported.

Two agents and a deputy from the Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office confronted Austin Tucker Martin, 21, who was armed with a shotgun and carrying a gas can, according to a press conference held by federal and local law enforcement officials following a statement from the U.S. Secret Service. The texts between Martin and a co-worker about the Epstein files from Feb. 15 indicated a belief there was a cover-up about the disgraced financier, according to TMZ.

“I don’t know if you read up on the Epstein Files, but evil is real and unmistakable,” one of Martin’s texts reads. “The best people like you and I can do is use what little influence we have. Tell other people about what you hear about the Epstein files and what the government is doing about it. Raise awareness.”

The Department of Justice released 3.5 million pages of documents from its collection of Epstein files Jan. 30, which included contacts Epstein had with Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, and former White House strategist Steve Bannon.

The disgraced financier, arrested in 2019 on sex trafficking charges, apparently committed suicide in his Manhattan jail cell while awaiting trial. Even after he became a convicted sex offender, Epstein had extensive ties to celebrities, politicians, and executives, including L Brands founder Lex Wexner, director Woody Allen, and Andrew -Windsor, the former Duke of York.

WATCH: Trump Calls USA Hockey Team, Invites Them to SOTU After Winning Gold

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump called the U.S. men’s hockey team, and FBI Director Kash Patel joined them in the locker room to celebrate their win over Canada on Sunday.

About an hour after the team won their first Olympic gold medal since 1980, Coach Mike Sullivan announced that Trump spoke via FaceTime with the athletes.

“The players just had the President on, I don’t know what it was, what do you call it, FaceTime, whatever, in the locker room,” he said, according to USA Today. “He just spoke to the group, expressing how proud he was of the group and congratulating everybody on the win.”

Clinching the medal “was an inspiration to our country,” he continued. “I can’t tell you how many texts I’ve received over the last day or so about watch parties at 8 o’clock in the morning. I think from a viewership standpoint, the United States, there were a lot of people paying attention, the President included.”

In a video captured in the locker room, Patel is holding up his phone while Trump can be heard saying, “You were all unbelievable.”

Trump Imposes 10 Percent Global Tariff After Supreme Court Struck Down Emergency Powers Tariffs

/5 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump announced he is imposing a ten percent global tariff on top of tariffs already in place after the Supreme Court struck down his duties imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).

Trump’s announcement came during a press briefing the White House scheduled on short notice after the 6-3 ruling against the IEEPA tariffs, in which Chief Justice John Roberts, Justice Neil Gorsuch, and Justice Amy Coney Barrett sided with liberal judges to rule against the president.

The 10 percent global tariff Trump is imposing on Friday is not under IEEPA but under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974, which Justice Brett Kavanaugh emphasized is another vehicle for imposing tariffs in his dissenting opinion.

“Effective immediately, all national security tariffs under Section 232, and existing Section 301, tariffs… remain in place, fully in place, and in full force and effect,” Trump said.

“Today, I will sign an order to impose a 10 percent global tariff under Section 122, over and above our normal tariffs already being charged, and we’re also initiating several Section 301 and other investigations to protect our country from unfair trading practices of other countries and companies,” he added.

Senator Who Helped Lisa Murkowski Win With Fraud Is Now Blocking President Trump’s Vote Integrity Bill

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Senator Mitch McConnell appears to be stalling the voting bill backed by President Trump, and fellow Republicans are not happy.

McConnell, who leads the Senate Rules Committee, is refusing to schedule a vote on the legislation, thus preventing it from moving forward. The bill would create barriers for voting, requiring specific forms of ID in order for Americans to exercise their constitutional right.

In blocking it, the retiring senator and former majority leader has drawn the ire of his colleagues. Representative Tim Burchett posted a video on X Friday saying McConnell’s actions are partially coming from a place of “meanness” because he doesn’t like Trump, and called his mental acuity into question.

“He’s blocking the SAVE Act, or is he? Is it him or a staff member, because as you know, he’s a lot like Joe Biden was in his last few days in office, or last years in office,” Burchett said. “His cognizant level is diminishing daily.”

Burchett went on a tangent about how much of Congress is run by staffers because certain aging members of Congress have diminishing mental capacity, citing the case of Representative Kay Granger, the former House Appropriations Committee chair who disappeared for months in 2024 and was later found to be living in an independent living facility.
