Shooter Attacked Border Agents Hours After Dems Said Their Voters Want ‘Blood’

/0 Comments/in , , /by

In a Monday article published by Axios, Democrat leaders told the outlet their supporters want more from them, including blood, to fight against Trump’s illegal immigration efforts. That same day, a man with a rifle and tactical gear shot at Border Patrol agents and local law enforcement in McAllen, Texas, resulting in a police officer being injured and the shooter being killed, according to Fox News.

“Our own base is telling us that what we’re doing is not good enough … [that] there needs to be blood to grab the attention of the press and the public,” one anonymous House Democrat told Axios. The congressman said that “grassroots” supporters are telling lawmakers that when they enter ICE facilities, they need to be “willing to get shot.”

Axios reported that more than two dozen Democrat representatives who spoke to publication are seeing more anger from constituents over the Democrats “not doing enough to counter President Trump’s agenda.” It has even “morphed into a disregard for American institutions, political traditions and even the rule of law,” according to Axios.

“What I have seen is a demand that we get ourselves arrested intentionally or allow ourselves to be victims of violence, and … a lot of times that’s coming from economically very secure white people,” another anonymous House Democrat told Axios.

In recent months, multiple Democrat politicians have come under fire for their behavior undermining the Trump administration’s immigration policies.

Musk Blasts Trump over Epstein Files and Points Out Massive Flaw with His Defensive Post

/0 Comments/in , /by

[Elon Musk hammered President Trump again this past weekend. He posted on X,] “This is a very big deal. What the hell kind of system are we living in if thousands of kids were abused, the government has videos of the abusers and yet none of the abusers are even facing charges!?” Musk claimed.

[He responded to President Trump’s Truth Social post, asking everyone to move on and quit talking about Epstein, by stating,] “He said ‘Epstein’ half a dozen times while telling everyone to stop talking about Epstein. Just release the files as promised.”

. . .Musk previously slammed the DOJ by mocking its ruling. He also reposted a meme with a clown which says “there is no Epstein list,” adding an angry emoji.

When a user doubted whether there was any evidence of the client list or “it would be plastered all over everything,” Musk made a bombastic claim about a possible cover-up.

“Unless both sides were guilty,” Musk wrote. The Irish Star has contacted the Trump administration for comment. (Read more from “Musk Blasts Trump over Epstein Files and Points Out Massive Flaw with His Defensive Post” HERE)

Former Biden Campaign Lawyer Now Works in Trump Justice Department

/1 Comment/in , /by

A lawyer who worked for Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential campaign and for two different offices in the Biden White House now works in President Donald Trump’s administration as an ostensibly nonpolitical staffer at the Justice Department.

While presidents appoint more than 3,000 people for political positions, the federal government directly employs roughly 2.3 million people, most of whom serve in purportedly nonpolitical, career positions. The Office of Personnel Management tracks when political appointees transition to career positions—a process often referred to as “burrowing in” to the bureaucracy—and Sarah Scheinman did so in 2022.

Earlier this year, Scheinman posted a photo of herself with President Joe Biden.

“So proud to have served in the Biden-Harris administration these past four years,” she wrote on LinkedIn. “I have worked with the most dedicated public servants in the White House, OMB, and the Department of Justice who every day seek to make things better for all of us.”

According to OPM records, Scheinman transitioned from a political role to a career position on Oct. 31, 2022. She left her position as associate general counsel at the Office of Management and Budget to take an attorney-advisor position in the Justice Department’s antitrust division. In the transition, she went from an annual salary of $84,766 to $112,890. (Read more from “Former Biden Campaign Lawyer Now Works in Trump Justice Department” HERE)

Trump Issues Lengthy Statement Defending Pam Bondi

/1 Comment/in , /by

President Donald Trump posted a lengthy statement Saturday on Truth Social defending former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi and criticizing renewed public interest in Jeffrey Epstein-related documents.

Trump praised Bondi’s work and accused political opponents and some of his own allies of focusing too much attention on Epstein. “We’re on one Team, MAGA, and I don’t like what’s happening,” Trump wrote, calling the current administration “PERFECT” and condemning what he called “selfish people” trying to undermine it.

Trump reiterated longstanding criticisms of figures from past Democratic administrations — including Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, James Comey, and John Brennan — tying them to what he described as a fabricated dossier and “Radical Left inspired Documents on Jeffrey Epstein.”

“If there was ANYTHING in there that could have hurt the MAGA Movement, why didn’t they use it?” he asked. (Read more from “Trump Issues Lengthy Statement Defending Pam Bondi” HERE)

Trump’s Tariffs Deliver: U.S. Posts $27 Billion Budget Surplus

/0 Comments/in , /by

The U.S. Treasury reported a budget surplus in June, driven in large part by a surge in tariff revenue, thanks to President Donald Trump’s America-first trade policies. The surplus offers a clear reminder that strategic tariffs can strengthen the nation’s bottom line while prioritizing domestic industries and American jobs.

In June, the U.S. Treasury reported a budget surplus of just over $27 billion, a sharp turnaround from the $316 billion deficit recorded in May. The jump in revenue was partly fueled by a rise in tariff collections, helping drive a 13 percent increase in overall receipts compared to the same month last year. Meanwhile, government spending in June fell 7 percent. So far this fiscal year, which ends on September 30, the deficit stands at $1.34 trillion, about 5 percent higher than at the same point last year. However, when accounting for calendar adjustments, the deficit has actually dipped by about 1%. Year-to-date, federal revenues are up 7 percent, while spending has increased by 6 percent. As a result, rising revenue from tariffs is helping to strengthen the government’s financial position.

The U.S. government surprised observers by posting its first budget surplus in over nine years this June, defying expectations of another monthly deficit.

Trump shared why he feels it’s important to personally visit disaster areas, saying, “I like to do it… I believe as President, it’s my duty to be there. I’ve done it many times before, but this is one of the worst situations I’ve witnessed.”

Trump Admin Ends Taxpayer Subsidies For Illegal Aliens

/0 Comments/in , /by

The departments of Health and Human Services (HHS), Education, Agriculture, Labor, and Justice are ending illegal aliens’ abilities to leech off the American taxpayer by taking advantage of federal programs.

The departments announced on Thursday that illegals will no longer be able to access the government programs, as they have been able to do since the Clinton administration. The Trump administration made the move to “ensure that taxpayer-funded program benefits intended for the American people are not diverted to subsidize illegal aliens,” HHS said in its announcement.

In doing so, the federal government rescinded a 1997 Dear Colleague letter that exempted such programs from being subject to the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA), which limits “federal public benefits” to U.S. citizens, permanent residents, and some “qualified aliens.”

The Education Department said that the Clinton-era letter “mischaracterized the law by creating artificial distinctions between federal benefit programs based upon the method of assistance.”

The move brings various programs in line with an executive order signed by President Donald Trump called “Ending Taxpayer Subsidization of Open Borders.” (Read more from “Trump Admin Ends Taxpayer Subsidies For Illegal Aliens” HERE)

Fox News Regular Suggests Trump Is Protecting People Named in the Epstein List: ‘Something Has Changed’

/0 Comments/in , /by

Fox News regular guest Victor Davis Hanson suggested on Wednesday that President Donald Trump was protecting people named in the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s list after being pressured not to release the Epstein files.

During an interview with Hanson on Wednesday, The Blaze founder Glenn Beck criticized the Trump administration’s handling of the Epstein files.

“This was just handled so poorly,” said Beck. “And the president doesn’t seem to understand that there are a lot of people who really support him that are like, ‘Wait, I’m with you, I just want to know for sure that we are actually doing everything that we can to root out the deep state and that people, they do go to jail if they did wrong.’”

After Beck asked Hanson why Epstein’s alleged elite blackmail operation wasn’t “being exposed,” Hanson replied:

I think there are people in the establishment– I don’t know if they partook in his sick things he was doing, but they fear– they have some association with him and they gave him money to invest when there was no reason to hire someone like that. There were much better financial gurus but he got half a billion dollars somehow from people who were mainstream establishmentarians on the basis that he was going to blackmail them.

I think that’s how he made his money, and I think those names are numerous, and I think the Trump administration thought, “Well, we’re gonna release this and there’s some crazy people that we don’t care about are gonna be embarrassed.” Then all of a sudden, they got a lot of calls and said, “Why are you doing this? I didn’t do this. I went down the island once, I was on a plane, I didn’t touch anybody, and now you’re gonna release my name.”

Bush-Appointed Judge Blocks Trump From Ending Birthright Citizenship for Children of Illegal Aliens

/0 Comments/in , /by

A federal judge, appointed by former President George W. Bush, has blocked President Donald Trump’s executive order ending birthright American citizenship for the United States-born children of illegal aliens.

On Thursday, Judge Joseph LaPlante of the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire granted a classwide preliminary injunction to illegal aliens who have sued the Trump administration over the order.

The lawsuit is linked to George and Alex Soros’s Open Society Foundations, Breitbart News revealed in April. . .

Last month, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) ruled that lower district courts cannot simply issue nationwide injunctions and can only apply their judgments beyond the areas of their jurisdiction if the plaintiffs can file their complaints in the form of a class action, demonstrating common injuries.

As a result, plaintiffs in the birthright citizenship case sought class certification from the court so that they could fight to have the order halted. (Read more from “Bush-Appointed Judge Blocks Trump From Ending Birthright Citizenship for Children of Illegal Aliens” HERE)

Trump Declares U.S. Is Officially ‘Back’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump declared Thursday that the United States is officially “back” and called on the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates.

Trump took to Truth Social to tout record highs in the stock market and in the crypto universe, where Bitcoin reached an all-time high this week, as well as a lack of inflation.

“Tech Stocks, Industrial Stocks, & NASDAQ, HIT ALL-TIME, RECORD HIGHS! CRYPTO, ‘Through the Roof.’ NVIDIA IS UP 47% SINCE TRUMP TARIFFS. USA is taking in Hundreds of Billions of Dollars in Tariffs. COUNTRY IS NOW ‘BACK.’ A GREAT CREDIT! ” Trump wrote in part, before calling for lower rates.

“FED SHOULD RAPIDLY LOWER RATE TO REFLECT THIS STRENGTH. USA SHOULD BE AT THE ‘TOP OF THE LIST.’ NO INFLATION!!!” he added.

Trump has repeatedly called out Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, accusing him of keeping interest rates high, but the Fed has declined to lower them to this point despite persistent pressure from the president.
