Disney’s ‘Star Wars’ Star Mark Hamill Calls Trump ‘Dictator, Presi-Dementia’ in Unhinged Bluesky Screed

Disney’s Star Wars star Mark Hamill has had enough of President Donald Trump and let fly Sunday with a string of epithets on social media to signal his displeasure.

Taking to his Bluesky account, Hamill laid out the following (all in capitals, as you would expect) veering from calling Trump a “dictator” through to describing him as “presi-dementia.”

Sneering and scorning Trump is nothing new for Hamill.

Last month he took it upon himself to apologize to Canada just as that country’s election saw Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberal Party claim a massive federal election victory, as Breitbart News reported.

“Dear Canada. Please accept our deepest apologies from all decent Americans embarrassed by the obnoxious trolling from our man-baby-in-chief who is lacking in both intelligence & any impulse-control whatsoever,” Hamill wrote on Bluesky.

Commentator: I’d Rather Have a Braindead Biden in Charge Than Trump

Well, at least he’s consistent, but that’s not saying much about Sam Harris. The noted commentator admitted that his Trump derangement syndrome is so deep that he’d rather have a braindead Biden in office than Donald J. Trump. Okay, let’s be clearer: He’d rather have a committee running the country while Biden is in a coma. That’s not democracy; that’s a coup. When the executive function is lost, we know the line of succession here—it goes to the vice president, Kamala, which means Trump still wins. But let’s not get into that silliness. We won the election. Nothing else needs to be said. He also said he fell for the Biden White House’s spin and that Biden was mentally sharp.

Here Are the ‘Politburo’ Members Who Were Really Running the Biden White House, According to ‘Original Sin’ Authors

A small, tight-knit group in former President Joe Biden’s inner circle was running the White House like a “politburo,” and they were the “ultimate decision-makers” as Biden’s health and cognitive function continued to decline, according to the authors of a bombshell new book.

This group, dubbed the “politburo,” included a coterie of seasoned political veterans, including Mike Donilon, Steve Ricchetti and Bruce Reed — but also family members such as first lady Jill Biden and the president’s son Hunter, the authors of “Original Sin” claim.

“In terms of who was running the White House, it’s a small group of people that have been around,” “Original Sin” author Alex Thompson told PBS’ “Washington Week” on Friday. “Some people within the administration called them the Politburo. That’s the term we used in the book.”

Former White House chief of staff Ron Klain was at times part of the “politburo,” as was former senior adviser to the president Annie Tomasini. Also on the “politburo” was the first lady’s former top adviser and “work husband,” Anthony Bernal, whom The Post previously reported created a toxic workplace environment.

“And Joe Biden himself also is part of this. Joe Biden is not like — it’s not ‘Weekend at Bernie’s,’ right?” said co-author and CNN anchor Jake Tapper, referring to the movie about a dead guy who is wheeled around as part of an elaborate ruse.

Companies Retreat From Gay Pride Events Across US Amid Trump Admin’s DEI Crackdown

A host of American corporations are backpedaling from their involvement in gay pride events this year amid the Trump administration’s rollback of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts across the country.

There have been a growing number of reports that organizers of major gay pride parades and festivals across the U.S. are scrambling for funds due to several longtime corporate sponsors scaling back their support of LGBTQ events. Some scholars explained to the Daily Caller News Foundation that news of companies pulling back from pride events may reflect a broader shift away from DEI in corporate America.

“We are seeing major companies, in meaningful numbers, either eliminating or modifying their DEI programs, which certainly does include sponsoring LGBTQ+ pride events and so on,” Stefan Padfield, the executive director of the National Center’s Free Enterprise Project, told the DCNF. “I think really the bottom line here is that there has just arisen an awareness on the part of executives that this promotion of these [pride] events runs such a meaningful risk of being perceived as pushing transgender ideology on parents … I think corporations have finally woken up to the reality that that’s a very big risk for them to be taking.”

“Those of us on the right, conservatives in this space, we are just pushing corporations to get back to neutral,” Padfield added. “We just want them to stop pushing these agendas down our throat, just get back to producing great products and services and making America great through the power of capitalism in that way … the left, on the other hand, wants the corporations to push their agendas. This is really a step back to neutrality, and I think we need to celebrate it and encourage more of it.”

The recent reports of some corporate sponsors backing out of major pride events come amid President Donald Trump’s ongoing efforts to eliminate DEI policies across the public and private sectors, including signing several executive orders aiming to terminate what he has referred to as “radical and wasteful” DEI programs across the federal government.

Former Biden Aide Admits Staff Felt Justified Doing ‘Undemocratic Things’ to Stop ‘Existential Threat’ Donald Trump

A former aide to President Joe Biden said White House staff felt justified doing “undemocratic things” in order to stop the “existential threat” that was Donald Trump.

Axios reporter Alex Thompson revealed on Fox News Sunday with Shannon Bream that White House insiders revealed to him they often viewed themselves as the decision makers in the Biden administration and were shielded from the president’s oversight.

“If you believe — and I think a lot of these people do sincerely believe — that Donald Trump was and is an existential threat to democracy, you can rationalize anything, including sometimes doing undemocratic things,” Thompson said.

Another aide also reportedly told Thompson that former President Biden “just had to win, and then he could disappear for four years.”

“He’d only have to show proof of life every once in a while,” Thompson said the aide told him. “His aides could pick up the slack.” (Read more from “Former Biden Aide Admits Staff Felt Justified Doing ‘Undemocratic Things’ to Stop ‘Existential Threat’ Donald Trump” HERE)

Judge Says Tariffs Are Authorized by Emergency Powers Act in Win for Trump

You can buy a set of three pads of legal paper, “proudly made in the U.S.A.” by TOPS, for $16.64 (that is, $5.55 per pad). Or go to Simplified and get an imported two-pad set, currently marked down to $22 ($11 a pad).

Simplified is not confident customers are willing to pay much more for its products, so when President Donald Trump put tariffs on China, it went to court to object.

The case was filed in U.S. District Court in the Northern District of Florida, Pensacola Division, on April 3 by Emily Ley Paper, Inc., an upscale stationery website doing business under the name Simplified.

The Trump administration asked to move the case to the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT). The outcome of that request could make this case an easy win for Trump once the CIT reviews the transfer order.

Fentanyl from China

The case was triggered by Trump’s effort to stem the flow of drugs coming into the U.S. On Jan. 20, Trump signed a proclamation declaring a national emergency exists at the U.S. southern border, based in part on the many Americans who have died from overdosing on drugs smuggled into the country. Among those drugs were fentanyl and other synthetic opioids made in China. Drugs also enter the U.S. hidden in shipping containers.

Florida Woman Allegedly Attacks 72-Year-Old Trump Supporter Wearing MAGA Hat, Batters Cop

Florida woman attacked a Trump supporter wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat, according to police. The woman also allegedly physically assaulted a police officer in the incident that occurred in a suburb of Tampa, Florida.

Laura Elizabeth Garrett, 33, was arrested by officers of the Largo Police Department on Tuesday night. Garrett was charged with battery on a person 65 years of age or older, battery on a police officer, and obstructing or resisting an officer without violence, according to Pinellas County Jail records.

Garrett was released from jail on Wednesday evening.

Citing the arrest affidavit, WTVT reported that Garrett got into an argument with an elderly man wearing a MAGA hat around 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday at a public park in Largo, Florida.

Garrett admitted to police that she had confronted the 72-year-old man because she wanted to question him about why he would support President Donald Trump, according to the arrest report cited by the television station.

Rogue Judge Blocks Trump Admin From Cleaning Up Education Department

The judicial coup from rogue district court judges continues apace, as a far-left federal judge in Massachusetts has blocked the Trump administration from being able to clean up the U.S. Department of Education after decades of waste and abuse.

President Donald Trump promised to diminish, and eventually (with congressional approval) end the department on the campaign trail in 2024. He was elected by the American people in part to do just that — a goal of many for years.

To start fulfilling this, on March 11, Education Secretary Linda McMahon initiated a reduction-in-force (RIF), laying off about 50 percent of department staff, and on March 20, Trump signed an executive order directing McMahon “to the maximum extent appropriate and permitted by law, take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the Department of Education.”

Numerous left-wing states, special interests, unions, and school districts — many of which had become comfortable relying on the department as a slush fund for their bad practices — promptly sued the department.

On Thursday, unelected and unaccountable U.S. District Judge Myong J. Joun, an appointee of former President Joe Biden who is already an active participant in the coup via another case, issued an injunction where he appears to believe he has the authority to govern the day-to-day functions of the department.

Karoline Leavitt Answers If Trump Is ‘Satisfied’ With Bongino’s Assassination Attempt Explanation

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt appeared to sidestep a question Wednesday on whether President Donald Trump was “satisfied” with the FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino’s explanation of the assassination attempts against him, refusing to elaborate after Trump said the narrative seemed “a little bit strange.”

Daily Caller White House correspondent Reagan Reese pressed Leavitt on whether Trump was “satisfied” with Bongino’s recent assertion in a Fox News interview Sunday that “the ‘there’ you’re looking for is not there” regarding questions surrounding the attempts on Trump’s life.

“Well, in the lead up to your question, you answered your own question with the president’s own words, and I’ll leave it at that,” Leavitt responded, offering no further clarification.

Trump previously told Fox News host Bret Baier that, while he trusts his team, he finds aspects of the official narrative questionable. “I’m relying on my people to tell me what it is … The Secret Service, they tell me it’s fine. But it’s a little hard to believe,” the president said. “It’s a little bit strange.” (Read more from “Karoline Leavitt Answers If Trump Is ‘Satisfied’ With Bongino’s Assassination Attempt Explanation” HERE)

Trump Forces Country’s President To Watch Video Of Leaders Calling For Genocide

By Daily Caller. President Donald Trump forced the President of the Republic of South Africa to watch videos of the country’s leaders calling for the genocide of white farmers during a meeting in the Oval Office on Wednesday.

South African president Cyril Ramaphosa visited Trump for a bilateral meeting as well as a private lunch. In the middle of their public conversation, Trump ordered his staff to dim the lights and play videos of “genocide in South Africa” for attendees of the meeting.

The video montage showed different clips of political leaders from the minority party in South Africa calling for killing the Boers — a term that means “farmers” and refers to white South Africans — and supporters chanting along. Another clip showed what Trump said were a thousand burial sites of deceased white farmers in South Africa and their families lining up to pay their respects. For most of the footage, Ramaphosa faced forward or glanced at Trump instead of looking at the screen, which was to his right.

“Burial sites. Right here. Burial sites. Over a thousand white farmers and those cars are lined up to pay love on a Sunday morning. Each one of those white things you see is a cross. And there is approximately a thousand of them. They are all white farmers, the family of white farmers. And those cars aren’t driving. They are stopped there to pay respects to their family member who was killed,” Trump said.

Trump Did Something That Left the South African President Aghast

By Townhall. South African President Cyril Ramaphosa’s meeting with President Donald Trump was tense. It wasn’t a screaming match. Mr. Ramaphosa was calm and collected, but Trump showed the African leader footage of farm attacks and leaders of opposition parties clamoring about killing white farmers.

Trump assured Ramaphosa that he wasn’t trying to make him look bad, but the South African leader was aghast. He did try to push back on the claims of white genocide, said his government is strongly opposed to any race-based violence, and attempted to clear the air about the new legislation that aims to strip land from farmers.
