Meet Latest Round of Lawfare Judges Trying to Upend MAGA

/0 Comments/in , /by

Three weeks into President Donald Trump’s second term and the Democrat Party is rudderless.

They lack compelling, charismatic leadership. They are rapidly losing ground in the culture war that they dominated for so long. They don’t have any favorable issues or narratives that are breaking out into the broader cultural consciousness. Their tried-and-true tactic of public shaming and cancelation couldn’t even keep the young DOGE employee known as “Big Balls” out of a job.

However, there is one element of the activist left that still poses a significant threat to Donald Trump and his agenda, and that is lawfare. Many of the same elements of our system of justice that were used to harass, bankrupt, and even try to jail President Trump in years past are still in place and are already being weaponized against MAGA right now.

Here are several activist judges who are trying to take control of the government for the Deep State as we speak. . .

Judge Angel Kelley, U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts, nominated by President Joe Biden

Yesterday, Kelley granted a restraining order against National Institute of Health (NIH) funding cuts. The Trump administration had moved to capped indirect costs, i.e. reimbursements for “overhead” expenses on university research, at 15 percent. This is fundamental to the Trump administration’s agenda of slashing waste, but it was met with strong pushback from the universities. Judge Kelley immediately stepped in on their behalf.

President Trump: Super Bowl Tradition ‘Personifies Our Shared Patriotic Values’

By Breitbart. President Donald Trump said ahead of his arrival at Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans, Louisiana, that the annual event “personifies” Americans’ “shared patriotic values.”

Trump issued an official White House statement expressing his excitement ahead of his departure from Palm Beach International Airport for the Big Easy, where he will become the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl.

“I look forward to joining the fans in New Orleans for Super Bowl LIX to cheer on two great teams — the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles — as they battle for the National Football League’s Vince Lombardi Trophy,” he said.

Trump then hailed participants on the Chiefs and Eagles as embodiments of the American Dream and role models for America’s youth before remarking on the unity the game fosters:

The coaches, players, and team staff on the field tonight represent the best of the best in professional football, but they also embody the best of the American Dream. Their hard work, dedication, and tenacity is admirable, and their individual journeys are as inspiring as the drive and determination that has led them to this extraordinary moment. They also represent the hopes and dreams of our Nation’s young athletes as we restore safety and fairness in sports and equal opportunities among their teams.

Trump Says US Military Schools Are Too Woke, Orders Immediate Dismissal of Academy Boards

/36 Comments/in , , /by

By The Post Millennial. On Monday, President Donald Trump announced that he has ordered the “immediate dismissal” of the board of visitors at the schools for US military branches.

“Our Service Academies have been infiltrated by Woke Leftist Ideologues over the last four years. I have ordered the immediate dismissal of the Board of Visitors for the Army, Air Force, Navy, and Coast Guard. We will have the strongest Military in History, and that begins by appointing new individuals to these Boards. We must make the Military Academies GREAT AGAIN!”

Per the US Naval Academy, “The duty of the Academy’s Board of Visitors is to inquire into the state of morale and discipline, the curriculum, instruction, physical equipment, fiscal affairs, academic methods, and other matters relating to the academy which the Board decides to consider.”

In the wake of Trump’s November victory, the US Army saw in December the best recruiting numbers in 12 years. In January, the military branch saw the best recruitment numbers in 15 years. Over 8,000 servicemembers who had been discharged under the Biden administration for not taking the Covid-19 vaccine have been reinstated with full back pay being provided. “From 2021 to 2023, the Biden Administration and former Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin discharged over 8,000 troops solely due to their COVID-19 vaccination status,” the White House added. “After the vaccine mandate was repealed in 2023, only 43 of the more than the 8,000 troops dismissed elected to return to service under the Biden Administration and Secretary Austin.” (Read more from “Trump Says US Military Schools Are Too Woke, Orders Immediate Dismissal of Academy Boards” HERE)

Trump Shows ‘Leftist Ideologues’ Entrenched In Military Academies The Exit

By Daily Caller. President Donald Trump announced he was firing the board of visitors of all U.S. military academies on Monday in his continued crusade against “leftist ideologues” in the military.

Trump cleaned out the board of visitors for the U.S. military academies, such as West Point, the U.S. Naval Academy, Coast Guard Academy and Air Force Academy effective Monday, according to an announcement on Truth Social. Trump campaigned in the 2024 election on reducing so-called “woke” politics in the military, saying he would create a task force specifically to root out diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).

“Our Service Academies have been infiltrated by Woke Leftist Ideologues over the last four years. I have ordered the immediate dismissal of the Board of Visitors for the Army, Air Force, Navy, and Coast Guard,” Trump said on Truth Social. “We will have the strongest Military in History, and that begins by appointing new individuals to these Boards. We must make the Military Academies GREAT AGAIN!”

One fired member of the West Point board of visitors, Retired Lt. Gen. Nadja West, gave a speech at Mount St. Mary’s University in 2021 on how diversity leads to a “harmonious community.”

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has also been a long-time critic of left-wing politics in the military, such as DEI initiatives and allowing transgenders in the military. Hegseth faced harsh criticism from Senate Democrats for his opinions on “woke” policies in the military.

Trump Smokes HuffPost Reporter In Brief Exchange On Air Force One (VIDEO)

/3 Comments/in , , /by

President Donald Trump shut down a HuffPost reporter on Sunday as he traveled on Air Force One to New Orleans, Louisiana, to take in Super Bowl LIX.

S.V. Date, HuffPost’s senior White House correspondent, was also on board the president; plane — and asked Trump about a comment he claimed was made earlier in the day by Vice President JD Vance.

“The Vice President suggested that if the Supreme Court rules in a way that you don’t like, they could just enforce it by themselves. Do you agree with that?” Date asked.

“I don’t know even what you’re talking about,” Trump replied, adding, “Neither do you. Who are you with?” (Read more from “Trump Smokes HuffPost Reporter In Brief Exchange On Air Force One (VIDEO)” HERE)

Winning: Trump Job Approval Highest Ever in CBS Poll

/0 Comments/in , /by

Far-left CBS News got some bad news from its latest poll. Currently, 53 percent of the public approves of the job President Donald Trump’s doing and 59 percent approve of his deportation of illegal aliens.

What’s most fascinating about this particular poll is that it’s not a poll of voters. Rather, it’s a poll of 2,175 U.S. adults. The GOP tends to poll better with tighter screening for registered voters and likely voters. There is nothing wrong with an “adults” poll, but knowing the fake news artists at CBS News, it’s not unreasonable to assume they asked for an “adults” poll hoping these numbers would be lower. . .

Here are the most intriguing findings…

Currently, 53 percent of the job Trump is doing as president while only 47 percent disapprove.

An obviously unhappy Margaret Brennan told her Face the Nation audience Sunday that this was the best showing for Trump ever in the CBS News poll… (Read more from “Winning: Trump Job Approval Highest Ever in CBS Poll” HERE)

Trump Wasn’t Joking: Some IRS Workers To Help With Deportation, Report Says

/0 Comments/in , /by

There was apparently some truth to President Donald Trump’s quip last month about sending Internal Revenue Service (IRS) workers to the southern U.S. border to help with deportation efforts.

Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has asked Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to deputize some law-enforcement workers, including criminal investigators from the IRS, to help with immigration efforts, according to documents obtained by the Wall Street Journal.

IRS criminal investigators often carry firearms and can make arrests. They currently investigate tax return preparer fraud, bankruptcy fraud, and identity theft schemes, among other crimes, according to the IRS website.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem asked Bessent to provide agents who would help investigate financial flows involving human-trafficking networks and businesses that employ illegal immigrants in a memo dated February 7, the Journal reported. The agents could help arrest, detain, and transport criminal illegals. (Read more from “Trump Wasn’t Joking: Some IRS Workers To Help With Deportation, Report Says” HERE)

Trump Gives Surprising Answer When Asked About JD Vance Being His Successor in 2028

/0 Comments/in , , /by

President Trump has said it’s too early to know if he will anoint Vice President JD Vance as his would-be successor ahead of the 2028 election.

Fox News chief political anchor Bret Baier asked Trump, 78, in an interview taped ahead of Sunday’s Super Bowl: “Do you view Vice President JD Vanceas your successor, the Republican nominee in 2028?”

“No, but he’s very capable,” Trump replied.

“I think you have a lot of very capable people,” the president added. “So far I think he’s doing a fantastic job. It’s too early. We’re just starting.”

“By the time we get to get to the midterms,” Baier interjected, “[Vance] is going to be looking for an endorsement.” (Read more from “Trump Gives Surprising Answer When Asked About JD Vance Being His Successor in 2028” HERE)

LA ‘Recovery Chief’ Drops $500K Salary, Agrees to Work for Free After Exposé

/1 Comment/in , /by

Steve Soboroff, Los Angeles’ “Recovery Chief,” agreed to work without pay after Special Envoy Ric Grenell, Trump’s White House representative in California, exposed his $500,000 salary. The revelation sparked public outrage, prompting Soboroff to forgo his compensation in a bid to quell the backlash. The controversy comes as Soboroff oversees the city’s recovery efforts, with many questioning the large salary in light of residents’ ongoing challenges.

Facing criticism over his hefty $500,000 salary for just 90 days of work—money he would have earned from the misfortune of L.A. residents—Soboroff has backed down and agreed to work for free. Democrat L.A. Mayor Karen Bass confirmed he would receive no compensation, which would have been funded entirely by charitable organizations.

“Steve is always there for LA. I spoke to him today and asked him to modify his agreement and work for free. He said yes. We agree that we don’t need anything distracting from the recovery work we’re doing,” Bass said in a statement.

Soboroff, appointed last month as Bass’s wildfire recovery czar, was brought in to boost Bass’s political career after her initial response to the emergency drew nationwide criticism. Although the mayor’s office declined to disclose which organizations would fund Soboroff’s salary, critics found it “infuriating” that Bass had even considered that option.

L.A. City Councilmember Monica Rodriguez deemed it “obscene” that philanthropic organizations would allocate $750,000 for only two individuals—$500,000 for Soboroff and $250,000 for real estate executive Randy Johnson, who will oversee rebuilding efforts under Soboroff’s leadership.

‘Something of Biblical Proportion’ Will Happen Under Trump in Mideast

/0 Comments/in , /by

Mike Huckabee, the incoming U.S. ambassador to Israel, is optimistic about the future of the Mideast, believing “something of biblical proportion” will happen in the region under the leadership of President Donald Trump.

“I’m personally optimistic that we’re going to see something bold,” Huckabee said on “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo.

“I will use this term, Maria. I think we will see something of biblical proportion happen with his leadership in the Middle East.”

His remarks come in the wake of last week’s announcement by Trump that the U.S. will take over the troubled Gaza Strip to help transform it from a “demolition site” to a Riviera-style region.

“President Trump did something bold,” Huckabee said.” He looked into the future and said kind of a what if. We don’t know exactly what might happen in Gaza, but here’s what could have happened in Gaza. (Read more from “‘Something of Biblical Proportion’ Will Happen Under Trump in Mideast” HERE)

Trump Reveals He’s Spoken With Putin by Phone, Says Russian President ‘Wants to See People Stop Dying’ in Ukraine War

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Trump has spoken to Russian leader Vladimir Putin on the phone to try to negotiate an end to the Ukraine war, he told The Post in an exclusive interview aboard Air Force One Friday.

“I’d better not say,” said Trump when asked how many times the two leaders have spoken.

But he believes Putin “does care” about the killing on the battlefield.

“He wants to see people stop dying,” said Trump.

“All those dead people. Young, young, beautiful people. They’re like your kids, two million of them – and for no reason.”

The three-year-old war “never would have happened” if he had been president in 2022, Trump asserted. (Read more from “Trump Reveals He’s Spoken With Putin by Phone, Says Russian President ‘Wants to See People Stop Dying’ in Ukraine War” HERE)
