Trump Expected to Sign Executive Order Abolishing the Department of Education: Report

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump is set to sign an executive order to eradicate the Department of Education as early as Thursday, according to a report.

Trump will reportedly use his executive powers to direct Education Secretary Linda McMahon to “take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the Education Department” based on “the maximum extent appropriate and permitted by law,” according to the Wall Street Journal, which viewed the drafted order.

“The experiment of controlling American education through Federal programs and dollars–and the unaccountable bureaucrats those programs and dollars support–has failed our children, our teachers, and our families,” the draft order, which was labeled as “pre-decisional,” reads.

The order – which supports the president’s pledge to have the federal agency shuttered – has been in the works since Trump’s transition, the outlet reported. . .

McMahon, 76, who was confirmed along party lines Monday, cited the commander in chief’s upcoming move in an email to staffers mere hours after she was approved to head the department, the outlet reported, saying she would “send education back to the states.” (Read more from “Trump Expected to Sign Executive Order Abolishing the Department of Education: Report” HERE)

Karoline Leavitt Unleashes On ‘Disgraceful’ Dems, Corporate Media Over Their Antics Responding To Trump’s Address

/0 Comments/in , /by

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt condemned the Democrats and corporate media’s antics Wednesday as they lamented every aspect of President Donald Trump’s address to Congress.

Many Democratic lawmakers did not stand or applaud the special guests who appeared at the address, including a 13-year-old boy battling brain cancer and a high school athlete who suffered brain damage after competing against a transgender-identifying male. Leavitt condemned Democrats and the corporate media over their criticisms of the address and for their lack of sympathy toward the special guests.

“The behavior of Democrats last night was completely disgraceful and demonstrated how severely how out of touch they are with the American public,” Leavitt said. “It was the most shameful moment in the history of presidential addresses in that beautiful chamber. And what was supposed to be a unifying moment for our country, Democrat members of Congress instead screamed at the president of the United States, who was just overwhelmingly reelected by their constituents, walked out of the chamber and worst of all, they disrespected the American people. Democrats didn’t stand to keep men out of women’s sports, they couldn’t even clap for a girl who got her head smashed in by a man on a volleyball court. Democrats didn’t stand for an innocent and beautiful child who is surviving brain cancer.”

“They opposed eliminating taxes on tips and social security. They didn’t stand for cutting taxes of hardworking Americans, they couldn’t even clap for two mothers whose daughters were killed by illegal aliens,” the press secretary continued. “One of the only things that could get Democrats off their feet last night was cheering for Ukraine, not for America.” (Read more from “Karoline Leavitt Unleashes On ‘Disgraceful’ Dems, Corporate Media Over Their Antics Responding To Trump’s Address” HERE)

Trump Brings Mother of Slain Child to Tears With Executive Order

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump brought the mother of a child believed to have been killed by illegal immigrants to tears Tuesday night during his speech to a joint session of Congress.

Alexis Nungray lost her 12-year-old daughter, Jocelyn, on June 17, 2024. Two illegal aliens from Venezuela allegedly lured Jocelyn under a bridge near her home in Houston and, according to court documents, “took her pants off, tied her up, and killed her, then threw her body into the bayou.” The two have been arrested and charged in connection with the crime.

“Alexis, I promised that we would always remember your daughter, your magnificent daughter,” Trump said, looking up at Nungray, who was seated in the upper level of the House Gallery as Trump spoke.

“Earlier tonight,” Trump continued, “I signed an order keeping my word to you.”

The president said that because Jocelyn loved animals and nature, he signed an executive order renaming the Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge in Galveston Bay, where Jocelyn lived, to the Jocelyn Nungaray National Refuge.

‘This Is Your Last Warning!’ Trump Erupts on ‘Sick and Twisted’ Hamas Terrorists

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump did not mince words Wednesday as he issued a scathing “last warning” to Hamas terrorists still holding hostages taken on Oct. 7, 2023.

“‘Shalom Hamas’ means Hello and Goodbye – You can choose,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“Release all of the Hostages now, not later, and immediately return all of the dead bodies of the people you murdered, or it is OVER for you. Only sick and twisted people keep bodies, and you are sick and twisted!

“I am sending Israel everything it needs to finish the job, not a single Hamas member will be safe if you don’t do as I say.

“I have just met with your former Hostages whose lives you have destroyed. This is your last warning!

“For the leadership, now is the time to leave Gaza, while you still have a chance. Also, to the People of Gaza: A beautiful Future awaits, but not if you hold Hostages. If you do, you are DEAD! Make a SMART decision. (Read more from “‘This Is Your Last Warning!’ Trump Erupts on ‘Sick and Twisted’ Hamas Terrorists” HERE)

Trump Exempts Automakers From Tariffs for a Month

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump will exempt automakers from proposed tariffs on Mexico and Canada for one month after pleas from industry leaders.

“We are going to give a one month exemption on any autos coming through USMCA,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said during a press conference on Wednesday.

“Reciprocal tariffs will still go into effect on April, 2, but at the request of the companies associated with USMCA, the president is giving them an exemption for one month so they are not at an economic disadvantage,” she continued.

Bloomberg wrote:

Detroit’s automakers have aggressively sought to halt or revise President Donald Trump’s tariffs over concerns about the potentially catastrophic effects. Carmakers and experts have warned that a rise in costs from the 25% tariffs imposed on US neighbors this week could send auto prices up by thousands of dollars almost immediately and seize up supply chains.

The United Auto Workers union — which represents factory employees at GM, Ford and Stellantis — on Tuesday said it was in “active negotiations” with the Trump administration to “shape the auto tariffs in April to benefit the working class.”

President Trump Details Plan to Enact ‘Renewal of American Dream’: ‘America’s Momentum Is Back’

/11 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. . .Trump has wasted no time since retaking the Oval Office, sprinting to reshape American government and public life, reorient the U.S. position and standing on the world stage, and implement a rapid-fire set of actions so far at breakneck speed such that even professionals who follow this stuff for a living have difficulty keeping up with the president’s pace. He’s also surrounded himself with a mostly new cast of characters, including a new Vice President in JD Vance and a new Speaker of the House in Mike Johnson. Vance and Johnson will of course be seated behind Trump, which is customary for such addresses to Congress. But beyond those two, Trump’s cabinet is filled this time with difference-makers and change-seekers – people like Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, Attorney General Pam Bondi, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum. Even former Democrats like Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are in Trump’s cabinet, and young, interesting, outsider voices fill many key roles throughout his White House and administration.

President Donald Trump Concludes Remarks After Declaring ‘America’s Momentum Is Back’

By Fox News. President Donald Trump kicked off his address before a joint session of Congress Tuesday evening.

“To my fellow citizens, America is back,” Trump declared after thanking the members of Congress and first lady Melania Trump.

“Six weeks ago, I stood beneath the dome of this Capitol and proclaimed the dawn of the golden Age of America,” he said. “From that moment on, it has been nothing but swift and unrelenting action to usher in the greatest and most successful era in the history of our country. We have accomplished more in 43 days than most administrations accomplished in four years or eight years. And we are just getting started.”

The audience was heard chanting “USA, USA, USA” amid the president’s opening remarks. (Read more from “President Donald Trump Concludes Remarks After Declaring ‘America’s Momentum Is Back’” HERE)

President Donald Trump vowed in his Tuesday speech to Congress and the U.S. that his administration would work to take “America’s destiny into our own hands” and promised that “this will be our greatest era” where he would fight to forge the most free civilization.Trump’s remarks came as he delivered an address to a joint session of Congress Tuesday in a speech similar to the annual State of the Union, where he declared that “America is back” and that the “American dream is surging.”

Trump unveiled in his speech that Ukraine is prepared to sign off on a rare-earth minerals deal and continue peace negotiations to end the war in Ukraine, and that his administration has caught the terrorist behind an attack in Afghanistan that resulted in the death of 13 U.S. troops.

He also promised he would drive down inflation costs and would “wage a war” on drug cartels as he bragged about his administration’s accomplishments in driving down illegal immigration crossings. . .

Trump Has ‘Sidelined’ Secretary of State Marco Rubio

/4 Comments/in , , /by

President Donald Trump “has effectively sidelined” Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who is often out of the loop when major foreign policy decisions are made, according to Vanity Fair.

The outlet published a report by Gabriel Sherman on Tuesday, stating that Rubio is privately “frustrated” that as the nation’s top diplomat, he is often not consulted on foreign affairs. Just last Friday, Rubio was in the Oval Office during a tense exchange between Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Trump and Vance berated Zelensky, whom the vice president called “disrespectful.” Rubio appeared visibly uncomfortable during the conversation, but later that day went on CNN and praised Trump.

Vanity Fair reported:

While Rubio was quick to get in line in the days after the Zelenskyy showdown, the historic confrontation did indeed reveal a fault line inside the administration: Rubio is privately frustrated that Trump has effectively sidelined him. According to four prominent Republicans close to the White House, Rubio, who has been a Russia hawk and Ukraine supporter, has told people he is upset by his lack of foreign policy influence despite being, on paper at least, the administration’s top diplomat. One of the sources said they felt as though Rubio is often the last to know when foreign policy decisions are made in the White House.

Democrat Escorted Out of Trump’s Congressional Address After Unhinged Behavior

/2 Comments/in , /by

On Tuesday night, President Donald Trump gave his address before a joint session of Congress, the fifth time he’s ever given such a speech. It was by far the rowdiest, though, and before the event even started. Once Trump had started speaking, though, it wasn’t long before the booing and interruptions started from Democratic members. Early on, Rep. Al Green (D-TX) even had to be escorted out, at Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) direction.

Throughout Trump’s remarks, at least the portion he was present for, Green stood up, waving his cane in the air.

At one particularly hysterical moment, as the president was speaking about his “comeback” win last November, the outbursts got so out of control that Johnson had to take to the mic to remind members to conduct themselves appropriately. He made it was clear he was issuing a warning to these members. When they still did not cease their outbursts, Green especially, whom Johnson addressed by name, the speaker directed the Sergeant at Arms to get involved.

Trump was then able to continue on with his remarks, as he continued to remind how much of a special “comeback” win he had achieved, while going on to speak about the ills caused by his predecessor, President Joe Biden. He also called out Democratic members of Congress for their refusal to applaud anything he had to say throughout these speeches, no matter what he said.

The Dems’ Reaction to Trump’s Speech Was as Expected, but What the Hell Was This?

/3 Comments/in , , /by

The Democrats’ reaction to President Trump’s first address to Congress since the 2024 election wasn’t out of the ordinary for these surly, puerile mental invalids. Yet, when you can’t cheer for law enforcement, that’s a problem. It’s baffling when you can’t cheer for someone accepting to West Point. But when you refuse to clap or stand for a 13-year-old with cancer who wants to be a police officer, it’s deplorable.

What the hell is your problem? In the words of the late Gunnery Seargent Hartman, “What is your major malfunction, numbnuts? Didn’t mommy and daddy show you enough attention when you were a child?”

Dems Scripted Their Response To Trump’s Speech Before Hearing It And They Don’t Care If You Know

/3 Comments/in , /by

Remember when the Biden administration recruited a bunch of kids on TikTok to repeat canned pro-Biden propaganda, and we all laughed at what an obviously disingenuous op it was? Now imagine if those kids were older, uglier, and members of the U.S. Senate. (Haven’t you always wanted to GRWM with Chuck Schumer and see Liz Warren’s OOTD?)

Ahead of President Donald Trump’s Tuesday night address to Congress, Democrats have been whispering to their media allies that their messaging strategy surrounding Trump’s speech matters because “tonight marks the first moment since the election that much of America will actually pay any attention to the Democrats.”

The Democrats have landed on their messaging strategy, and it is, in their own words …

Tuesday morning, two dozen Senate Democrats posted their honest, genuine, heartfelt thoughts about Trump’s first 43 days. Those straight-from-the-heart perspectives just happened to all follow the same, word-for-word script, which Sen. Cory Booker took credit for writing.

Booker, along with Senators Angela Alsobrooks, Tammy Baldwin, Richard Blumenthal, Chris Coons, Tammy Duckworth, Dick Durbin, Kirsten Gillibrand, Mazie Hirono, Tim Kaine, Mark Kelly, Andy Kim, Ben Ray Lujan, Ed Markey, Jeff Merkley, Alex Padilla, Gary Peters, Brian Schatz, Chuck Schumer, Chris Van Hollen, Mark Warner, Elizabeth Warren, Peter Welch, and Sheldon Whitehouse each recorded a video rattling off the same lines about how Trump is evil for cutting government bloat and not undoing Bidenflation yet.

Democrats cared nothing about the prices of Americans’ groceries, gas, and housing for four years under Biden. As for government spending cuts, a Harvard-Harris poll just last month found Americans “overwhelmingly support cutting down government expenditures,” so that’s a weird choice of martyr to patronize.
