The Press Hates Trump More Than It Loves the Truth — and the Hyperbolic Fear-Mongering We’ve Seen Is Proof

/0 Comments/in , /by

When there is a Republican president, the leftist-dominated White House press corps likes to gang up and try to put him on defense.

The ultimate fantasy is repeating the glory days of Watergate by driving the president from office.

That was certainly the aim in Donald Trump’s first term, where the hunt by Democrats with press passes — and the help of a corrupt FBI — was so intense that they produced a near-daily flood of lurid allegations, with the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax being the grand climax.

But Trump 2.0 is turning out to be a far different story, though not because the press has decided to be fair in its coverage.

Far from it.

Many editors and reporters are still predicting the end of the world every time he says or does something they don’t like.

Their definition of a scandal is when he deviates from past presidents, as if the Oval Office is a straitjacket. (Read more from “The Press Hates Trump More Than It Loves the Truth — and the Hyperbolic Fear-Mongering We’ve Seen Is Proof” HERE)

Plot Twist: Trump Vows to Make Hollywood Great Again

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump has said that he would meet with Hollywood insiders to discuss his tariffs and negotiate on ways to reinvigorate the movie business.

As Breitbart News reported on Sunday, the president proposed putting “a 100% Tariff on any and all Movies coming into our Country that are produced in Foreign Lands.”

“The Movie Industry in America is DYING a very fast death,” he wrote on Sunday. “Other Countries are offering all sorts of incentives to draw our filmmakers and studios away from the United States. Hollywood, and many other areas within the U.S.A., are being devastated. This is a concerted effort by other Nations and, therefore, a National Security threat. It is, in addition to everything else, messaging and propaganda! Therefore, I am authorizing the Department of Commerce, and the United States Trade Representative, to immediately begin the process of instituting a 100% Tariff on any and all Movies coming into our Country that are produced in Foreign Lands. WE WANT MOVIES MADE IN AMERICA, AGAIN!”

Speaking with reporters on Monday, the president said that he wants to “help the industry” and would meet with Hollywood insiders to work out a deal.

“I’m not looking to hurt the industry; I want to help the industry,” he said. “We’re going to meet with the industry. I want to make sure they’re happy with it, because we’re all about jobs.” (Read more from “Plot Twist: Trump Vows to Make Hollywood Great Again” HERE)

Trump Offers Blunt, 3-Word Response After Canada’s New PM Says Country Is ‘Not for Sale’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump had three little words for newly-elected Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney Tuesday after the commander in chief again said he wanted Canada to be America’s 51st state.

“I say, ‘Never say never,’” the 78-year-old said. “I’ve had many, many things that were not doable and ended up being doable.”

Trump was responding to Carney, 60, telling him that Canada is “not for sale” and that the Canadian view on becoming part of the US “is not going to change.”

“As you know from real estate, there are some places that are never for sale,” the Liberal PM said.

During a post-meeting news conference at the Canadian embassy, Carney said he had told Trump behind closed doors to “stop” publicly musing about annexing Canada — but did not reveal what the US president said in response.

“We are masters in our own home,” the prime minister added, “and we can give ourselves far more than any foreign government can ever take away.” (Read more from “Trump Offers Blunt, 3-Word Response After Canada’s New PM Says Country Is ‘Not for Sale’” HERE)

/5 Comments/in , , /by

By WND. Elon Musk, President Donald Trump’s leader of the Department of Government Efficiency, has made a startling discovery, saying there are more than 100,000 active federal employees illegally receiving unemployment benefits.

The DOGE chief revealed the stunning figure Saturday to Lara Trump, host of “My View” on Fox News.

“We’ve actually found there’s a lot of people who are federal government employees, that are active employees, who nonetheless have applied for and received unemployment insurance,” Musk explained.

“While they are federal employees,” an incredulous Trump responded.

“Yes, and this appears to be at least 100,000 people,” Musk continued.

“Wow!” Trump said. (Read more from “Elon Musk Discovers 100,000 Active Federal Employees Illegally Getting Unemployment Benefits” HERE)

Elon Musk, DOGE Team Credit Fed Workers for Helping Trim Waste, Fraud: ‘There Is Conflict, but That Is the Exception’

By New York Post. . .Elon Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency team expressed their gratitude Thursday to the federal employees partnering with the cost-cutting agency as they work around the clock to eliminate wasteful spending and modernize the workforce.

The billionaire tech entrepreneur, 53, and several male staffers told Fox News host Jesse Watters that they’ve seen increased willingness from federal workers and agencies to collaborate with DOGE to improve government operations — noting that conflict is often a rare exception that’s heightened in the media.

“We’d like to just give a big thank you to all the government employees who are helping reduce the waste and fraud, because this is — we really couldn’t do it without you,” Musk said during a 10 p.m. staff meeting inside DOGE headquarters that was highlighted on “Jesse Watters Primetime.”

“I’m not trying to sort of say all government employees are bad. That’s absolutely not the case. It’s just that there actually just does need to be a serious effort to reduce the waste and fraud. And we’re just making that happen,” the DOGE chief continued.

Trump Bans Federal Funding for ‘Dangerous’ Gain-Of-Function Research

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday banning all federal funding for “dangerous” gain-of-function research in China, Iran and other countries and blocking all federal funding for foreign research that could cause another pandemic.

The president signed the order Monday afternoon to improve the safety and security of biological research in the U.S. and around the world.

The White House said the order “will drastically reduce the potential for lab-related incidents involving gain-of-function research, like that conducted on bat coronaviruses in China by the EcoHealth Alliance and Wuhan Institute of Virology.”

Gain-of-function research typically involves modifying a virus to make it more infectious among humans. Gain of function research took place at the Wuhan Lab before the COVID-19 pandemic began.

The White House said the order will protect Americans from lab accidents and other biosecurity incidents, “such as those that likely caused COVID-19 and the 1977 Russian flu.”

The president’s order ends any present and all future federal funding of gain-of-function research in countries with insufficient oversight of research, and it empowers U.S. research agencies to identify and end federal funding of any other biological research that could pose a threat to American public health, public safety or national security.

Sean Penn Compares Trump to a Spouse Murderer: ‘He Might Destroy the World’

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump resembles a “jealous spouse who murders another partner” and he may “try to destroy the world” if any third-term ambitions were left unfulfilled, left-wing actor Sean Penn has grimly warned.

His dire forecast came during a joint appearance on Jim Acosta’s Substack podcast, The Jim Acosta Show, alongside Democratic Representative Eric Swalwell.

Oscar-winner Penn said, “I do think it’s a reasonable theory that Donald Trump is not unlike the spouse of someone who leaves him… who then murders their former partner because if they can’t have her, nobody can.”

Then he cautioned, “Trump and his solipsism may have that relationship with the world… this destruction is in part a power play. And also a literal intention of his final out,”

Acosta asked whether Penn believed Trump might make good on his threats to try and retain power after his second term. “I think he might try to destroy the world before he ages out of life,” Penn replied.

Trump Proposes Drastic Cuts to ‘Dysfunctional’ Section 8 Housing Program

/3 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump’s administration released a budget plan on Friday that proposed drastic cuts across the federal government, including slashing the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s discretionary funding by more than 40%.

The budget referred to the federal government’s current rental assistance program as “dysfunctional.” NPR reported that it essentially called to end the Housing Choice Voucher Program, also known as Section 8, noting that it would slash rental aid by roughly 40%.

According to the administration’s budget plan, the proposal aims to empower states to provide housing assistance “by transforming the current federal dysfunctional rental assistance programs into a state-based formula grant which would allow states to design their own rental assistance programs based on their unique needs and preferences.”

If adopted, the budget would place a two-year cap on rental assistance for able-bodied adults. It would also ensure that “a majority” of the funding went toward the elderly and disabled.

“A state-based formula program would also lead to significant terminations of federal regulations,” the budget continued. “In combination with efforts related to opening up federal lands, this model would incentivize states and the private sector to provide affordable housing.” (Read more from “Trump Proposes Drastic Cuts to ‘Dysfunctional’ Section 8 Housing Program” HERE)

HUD Probes Whether Pronoun, Vaccine Police Discriminated Against Christians

/0 Comments/in , /by

Last month, Attorney General Pam Bondi convened the first meeting of the Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias in the federal government. The initiative follows on the heels of President Trump’s executive order signed in early February “to protect the religious freedoms of Americans and end the anti-Christian weaponization of government.”

Bondi noted a long line of abuses in the Biden administration.

“Biden’s Department of Justice abused and targeted Christians. Pro-life Christians were arrested and imprisoned for peacefully praying outside abortion clinics. The FBI spied on traditional Catholics in their parishes,” the attorney general said, noting President Joe Biden issued a proclamation celebrating Transgender Day of Visibility on Easter Sunday.

Acting to fulfill the president’s executive order, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is asking its employees, contractors, and subcontractors to provide information “regarding any HUD or individual policies, practices, or conduct involving anti-religious bias” during the Biden administration and to make recommendations on how to remedy acts of bias.

The Task Force will collect information and ideas from federal employees, including HUD staff, that have experienced anti-Christian bias or other forms of religious discrimination. The task force will then compile a report on its findings. (Read more from “HUD Probes Whether Pronoun, Vaccine Police Discriminated Against Christians” HERE)

Trump Makes Move To Super-Charge Deportations Using Local Cops

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Trump administration is taking a major step to super-charge deportation efforts by deputizing law enforcement across the country to carry out immigration enforcement, a Department of Homeland Security memo exclusively reviewed by The Daily Wire reveals.

The memo lays out that DHS has signed 562 agreements with state and local law enforcement groups, taking advantage of a federal law that allows the agencies to enforce certain aspects of immigration law. While these sorts of agreements existed in the previous administration, the number of agreements signed since Trump took office is already a 316% increase from what was signed during four years of the Biden administration, the memo says.

The agreements could be one of the biggest keys to boosting deportation numbers, which members of the administration have reportedly grown frustrated with. With an estimated 18.6 million illegal aliens currently present in the United States and a judiciary that has continuously stonewalled the Trump administration’s attempts to deport illegal aliens, the federal government may otherwise struggle to remove a significant share of the illegal population without support from law enforcement partners.

Under the agreement, state and local law enforcement agencies are able to conduct immigration enforcement operations with ICE oversight, use federal immigration databases to identify the status of arrestees, and initiate ICE detainers to hold illegal aliens until ICE can gain custody of them, providing what could be a massive force multiplier in the Trump administration’s effort to deport at least one million illegal aliens per year.

Trump Orders Feds to Reopen Alcatraz to House ‘America’s Most Ruthless and Violent’ Criminals

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump is calling for the notorious prison and now historical landmark, Alcatraz, in San Francisco, California, to be rebuilt larger and reopened to house the country’s most ruthless and violent criminals.

Trump made the announcement in a Truth Social post on Sunday evening.

“REBUILD, AND OPEN ALCATRAZ!” the president said. “For too long, America has been plagued by vicious, violent, and repeat Criminal Offenders, the dregs of society, who will never contribute anything other than Misery and Suffering.

“When we were a more serious Nation, in times past, we did not hesitate to lock up the most dangerous criminals, and keep them far away from anyone they could harm,” Trump continued, adding that it’s supposed to be this way. “No longer will we tolerate these Serial Offenders who spread filth, bloodshed, and mayhem on our streets.”

Trump said he is directing the Bureau of Prisons, Department of Justice, FBI and Department of Homeland Security to reopen a “substantially enlarged and rebuilt” Alcatraz, “to house America’s most ruthless and violent offenders.” (Read more from “Trump Orders Feds to Reopen Alcatraz to House ‘America’s Most Ruthless and Violent’ Criminals” HERE)
