The Trump Administration Is Finally Bringing Discipline to Classrooms

/0 Comments/in , /by

Last week, President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing the U.S. Department of Education to review and roll back federal policies that prevent teachers from disciplining disruptive students. It’s a long-overdue move.

For over a decade, misguided federal guidance rooted in diversity, equity, and inclusion ideology and “disparate impact” theory has tied the hands of educators and created a culture of disorder in America’s classrooms. This new action could mark a turning point in restoring order, accountability, and respect for the teaching profession.

Teachers across America are sounding the alarm: student behavior is out of control, and the systems meant to support them are doing the opposite. In a 2023 EdWeek survey, 7 in 10 educators reported worsening behavior. And a Fordham Institute survey revealed that over 75% of teachers agree that a handful of troublemakers disrupt learning for everyone.

The Left’s social engineering in public education has reached its most destructive point: the death of discipline. Across the country, school districts have adopted so-called “restorative justice” and “equitable discipline” frameworks that favor identity-based outcomes over student behavior. These aren’t harmless feel-good reforms. (Read more from “The Trump Administration Is Finally Bringing Discipline to Classrooms” HERE)

Top Trump Administration Figure Warns of Rising Prices from Tariffs (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent conceded on Sunday that President Donald Trump’s tariffs could increase prices for consumers.

Walmart CEO Doug McMillon announced on a Thursday earnings call that the company would raise its prices due to the tariffs after recording a slip in first-quarter profits, despite strong quarterly sales and a bump in operating profit. During a Sunday appearance on “State of the Union,” Bessent said he spoke to McMillon, who told him that Walmart would potentially pass tariff-related costs on to American shoppers.

“I did speak to Doug McMillon, who I have a very good relationship, yesterday, just to understand what he had to say. And, you know, understand that came from an earnings call. On an earnings call, because of [Securities and Exchange Commission] requirements, they have to give the most draconian case,” Bessent said. “So, Walmart will be absorbing some of the tariffs. Some may get passed on to consumers. But the other thing that’s happening is that inflation is down. We had the first drop in inflation in four years under President Trump.”

“The other thing that Doug mentioned to me is for his consumers, for his buyers, the most important thing are gasoline prices. And this administration has gotten gasoline prices down, service prices are down,” Bessent continued. “So overall, I would expect inflation to remain in line. But I don’t blame consumers for being skittish after what happened to them four years under Biden. We had the worst inflation in 40 years.” (Read more from “Top Trump Administration Figure Warns of Rising Prices from Tariffs (VIDEO)” HERE)

Organizers Planning a ‘Nationwide’ Protest for Trump’s Birthday

/0 Comments/in , /by

Agitators are planning a not-too-surprising birthday gift for President Donald Trump on his 79th birthday — yet another anti-Trump demonstration.

Organizers say they are hoping to upstage a military parade the president has planned for June 14 in Washington, DC.

Refuse Fascism, the group claiming to be behind the event, has held rallies against the Trump administration in downtown Los Angeles and other cities, ABC’s network affiliate Channel 7 reported Sunday.

Sunsara Taylor, who is with the group, told the station:

Donald Trump is trashing the rule of law, he’s disappearing immigrants, he’s threatening to do the same without any due process (for) legal citizens. The other day on television he said he didn’t know if he has to abide by the Constitution. This is an emergency. Not just for people in this country, but for all over the planet.

The group is calling June 14 “No King’s Day.” (Read more from “Organizers Planning a ‘Nationwide’ Protest for Trump’s Birthday” HERE)

Trump: ‘China Would Have Broken Apart’ if We Didn’t Do Deal, Won’t Do Deals With Everyone

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Fox News. During an interview aired on Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Special Report,” President Donald Trump stated that he won’t make deals with every country because he can’t meet with that many people and also said that “If I didn’t do that deal with China, I think China would have broken apart.”

After discussing [relevant remarks begin around 10:10] the prospects of a deal with India and South Korea and forecasting that there will be a deal with India soon, Trump said, “I’m not going to make deals with everybody. I’m just going to set the limit. I’ll make another — some deals. But — and then I’m just — because I can’t — you can’t meet with that many people. I’ve got 150 countries that want to make deals. You have a lot of countries.”

Host Bret Baier then asked, “The market was really happy with the China situation and the sit-down.” (Read more from “Trump: ‘China Would Have Broken Apart’ if We Didn’t Do Deal, Won’t Do Deals With Everyone” HERE)

Donald Trump Approval Rating Climbs After Tariff Deal With China

By App. . .According to a new poll by Reuters/Ipsos, Trump’s approval rating is on the rise, reaching 44%. His disapproval rate is still higher at 52%, but it’s the best he’s scored since before announcing the tariffs.

His approval rating was 45% before it starting dropping due to the tariffs.

But this week there was good news with Trump announcing to pause tariffs on China for 90 days. The deal did a lot to help the stock market, which had been dropping in part due to the tariffs.

Trump’s approval rating is now just one point lower than it was when he took office on Jan. 20. (Read more from “Donald Trump Approval Rating Climbs After Tariff Deal With China” HERE)

Democrat Leaders In House And Senate Refuse To Condemn Comey’s Incitement Of Violence Against Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democrats are not moved by former FBI Director James Comey’s beachcombing, social media post apparently calling for the assassination of President Trump. Try finding a Democrat condemning it.

In fact, The Federalist specifically asked Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, House Minority Whip Rep. Katherine Clark, and Sen. Amy Klobuchar if they planned to condemn Comey’s post. No response.

Comey’s post was a photo of seashells in the sand set in the formation of numbers “86 47” captioned, “Cool shell formation on my beach walk.”

Of course, 47 is a nickname for President Donald Trump, the 47th president. There is a long tradition of referring to presidents by their number.

And as any beat cop knows, 86 is slang for “get rid of” or “assassinate.” They know, because law enforcement makes it a point to understand threatening language.

Comey’s Latest Novel Might Be The Smoking Gun Proving He Intended To Threaten Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

Yesterday, James Comey caused quite the stir when he went on Instagram and posted a picture of a shell formation on the beach — obviously one he made — that spelled out “86 47,” which many interpreted as a threat on President Trump’s life.

Since then, everyone’s been arguing over the definition of “86.” As slang goes, it has a wide variety of uses, some of which are more innocent, such as when you run out of a menu item at a restaurant you “86” it or when you get kicked out of a bar for being too drunk or unruly you’re said to be “86’d.” But it is also been used by the Mafia and the military to refer to killing people, and well, it’s a little harder to swallow that the man who prosecuted the Gambino crime family wasn’t aware of its more sinister meaning.

However, it gets worse than that for Comey. After posting the offending shell photo, the very next post on Instagram was him posting the favorable Publisher’s Weekly review of his third crime novel, out next week. What’s it about, you ask?

Former FBI director Comey (Westport) reunites the protagonists of his first two legal thrillers for his strongest outing yet. U.S. attorney Carmen Garcia is trying to take down Samuel Buchanan, a far-right media personality with a popular podcast vilifying those he thinks are destroying America: intellectuals, immigrants, and people of color. Garcia believes Buchanan went far beyond the protection of the First Amendment when he singled out his enemies by name and suggested “something should be done” about them. His fans have obliged, killing or grievously injuring some of his foes. In a series of tense and exhilarating courtroom scenes, Garcia works with Deputy U.S. Attorney Nora Carleton to bring Buchanan down. Then, just as they’ve convicted him, a new threat emerges …

Inflation Numbers Showed Trump Was Right About Egg Prices And CNN Isn’t Taking It Well

/0 Comments/in , /by

Data released Tuesday shows that egg prices dropped 12.7 percent last month — the “biggest monthly decline since 1984.” The report follows weeks of President Donald Trump telling Americans that egg prices were falling — welcome news after the cost of eggs rose for 17 out of the past 19 months, according to CNN. But the left-wing legacy outlet is scrambling to process the eggcellent news.

CNN’s David Goldman wrote Tuesday that “For months, President Donald Trump has falsely claimed that egg prices are tumbling. It wasn’t true then, but it’s true now.”

Goldman continues:

“Despite Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins’ far more conservative estimate that egg prices would normalize in the summer, Trump last month said, ‘as you know, the cost of eggs has come down like 93, 94% since we took office.’ Those percentage declines Trump stated are not close to accurate – but we now know that consumer egg prices were, indeed, falling sharply when Trump made those remarks (the Consumer Price Index data wasn’t out yet to confirm or deny Trump’s claims).”

CNN admits egg prices “were, indeed, falling sharply when Trump made those remarks,” but a few sentences later bizarrely still claims the “timing of his claim” was wrong.

Translation: Trump said something that turned out to be true (egg prices fell), but because we didn’t have the same data at the exact moment Trump said it, he was wrong. (Read more from “Inflation Numbers Showed Trump Was Right About Egg Prices And CNN Isn’t Taking It Well” HERE)

Democrat ‘Election Deniers’ Try To Overturn Election Of Their Own Party Vice Chair

/0 Comments/in , /by

For years, Democrats have decried Republicans as “election deniers,” even using the phrase to justify lawfare against then-former President Donald Trump. But as it turns out, when elections don’t go their way suddenly the process is flawed and democracy is negotiable.

On Monday, the credentials committee of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) voted to overturn the results of an election that led to 25-year-old David Hogg being selected as a party vice chair. (Hogg survived the 2018 Parkland School shooting.)

But the DNC committee argued the election did not follow proper parliamentary procedures. The decision “will put the issue before the full body of the Democratic National Committee,” according to The New York Times. The DNC will then decide “whether to force Mr. Hogg and a second vice chair, Malcolm Kenyatta, to run again in another election later this year,” according to the report.

The committee moved to deny the election results after one of the losing vice chair candidates, Kalyn Free, claimed the party “had wrongly combined two separate questions into a single vote, putting at a disadvantage the female candidates because of the party’s gender-parity rules,” according to The Times.

John Kennedy Compares Qatar to Hannibal Lecter as Trump Continues Middle East Tour

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) said he doesn’t completely trust Qatar as an ally following President Donald Trump‘s visit to the Middle Eastern country.

Qatar gifted the United States a $400 million jet that Trump accepted, immediately raising ethical and constitutional concerns.

“American foreign policy is an enduring struggle between values and interests. We know American values, freedom, the rule of law, personal responsibility, merit, and equal opportunity, but not all countries, most countries, don’t share those values. Take Qatar, for example, they don’t share any of those values,” Kennedy said Thursday on Fox Business’s Varney & Co. “Do I trust Qatar? Of course not. They will eat your liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.”

Kennedy was referencing the movie Silence of the Lambs, in which the main character, Hannibal Lecter, describes eating a human liver with fava beans and a glass of Chianti. (Read more from “John Kennedy Compares Qatar to Hannibal Lecter as Trump Continues Middle East Tour” HERE)

Supreme Court Hears Arguments in Case Over Trump’s Birthright Citizenship Order

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Supreme Court is hearing its first set of Trump-related arguments in the second Trump presidency. The case stems from the executive order President Donald Trump issued on his first day in office that would deny citizenship to children born on U.S. soil to parents who are in the country illegally or temporarily. The executive order marks a major change to the provision of the 14th Amendment that grants citizenship to people born in the United States, with just a couple of exceptions.

Immigrants, rights groups and states sued almost immediately to challenge the executive order. Federal judges have uniformly cast doubt on Trump’s reading of the Citizenship Clause. Three judges have blocked the order from taking effect anywhere in the U.S., including U.S. District Judge John Coughenour. “I’ve been on the bench for over four decades. I can’t remember another case where the question presented was as clear as this one is. This is a blatantly unconstitutional order,” Coughenour said at a hearing in his Seattle courtroom.

The Supreme Court is taking up emergency appeals filed by the Trump administration asking to be able to enforce the executive order in most of the country, at least while lawsuits over the order proceed. The constitutionality of the order is not before the court just yet. Instead, the justices are looking at potentially limiting the authority of individual judges to issue rulings that apply throughout the United States. These are known as nationwide, or universal, injunctions. (Read more from “Supreme Court Hears Arguments in Case Over Trump’s Birthright Citizenship Order” HERE)
