Vance Clashes With CBS Host During Fiery Debate Over Refugee Program Paused by President Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

Vice President JD Vance clashed with CBS host Margaret Brennan Sunday morning when the Republican defended President Trump’s decision to halt a refugee program that quickly barred hundreds of Afghans from reaching the US last week.

Vance tore into Brennan during a sit-down interview on “Face the Nation,” arguing the vetting process refugees currently undergo is not thorough enough and that his “primary concern as the vice president is to look after the American people.”

Brennan asked whether Afghan refugees, including some who worked with the US government, should be allowed in the country, and pointed out Vance said last year he doesn’t think the country “should abandon anybody who’s been properly vetted and helped us.”

But Vance was quick to insist he doesn’t think all the refugees have been vetted the right way.

“And now that we know that we have vetting problems with a lot of these refugee programs, we absolutely cannot unleash thousands of unvetted people into our country,” the veep added.

Trump’s ‘Bold’ Plan to Relocate Gazans to Jordan, Egypt Gains Support: ‘Only Real Way to Achieve Peace’

/1 Comment/in , /by

Many are applauding President Donald Trump’s “bold” proposal that Egypt and Jordan play a central role in resolving the decades-long Israeli-Palestinian conflict by absorbing refugees from war-torn Gaza, with some calling it the “only real way to achieve peace.”

On Saturday, President Donald Trump, who has previously brokered historic agreements in the region, suggested that Gaza could be cleared out after the devastation of the war started by Hamas on October 7, 2023, with Palestinians resettled in neighboring Arab nations for humanitarian reasons.

In a gaggle with reporters on Air Force One, Trump said:

I’d like Egypt to take people and I’d like Jordan to take people. You’re talking about probably a million and a half people and we just clean out that whole thing and say, “You know it’s — over the centuries, it’s had many, many conflicts. And … something has to happen.” It’s literally a demolition site … So I’d rather get involved with some of the Arab nations and build housing in a different location, where they can maybe live in peace. … Could be temporary, could be long-term.

Egypt and Jordan’s participation in the initiative could bolster their regional influence and attract significant international support, with large-scale resettlement projects leading to the creation of jobs, upgrading of infrastructure, and stimulating economic growth. The plan also offers a path toward lasting stability for Palestinians and the region.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Sen. Adam Schiff of California wanted to play nice with President Donald Trump on his trip to survey the wildfire devastation in California.

Mr. Trump, however, wasn’t ready to bury the hatchet with the man he dubbed “Shifty Schiff” and “pencil neck.”

“I was told that Schiff was going to travel with us to California. I wasn’t thrilled, to be honest with you,” Mr. Trump told reporters Friday. “And I saw him last night on television. It looks like he got hit with a baseball bat or something. What happened to him?”

Mr. Trump also said the fire in California “could have been put out” if elected officials “let the water flow.”

“So I think we are going to have a very interesting time,” he said of the trip. (Read more from “Adam Schiff Extends Olive Branch, Trump Asks if He Was ‘Hit With a Baseball Bat’” HERE)

President Throws Down With California Democrat: ‘You Made It So Impossible’

/1 Comment/in , , /by

President Donald Trump’s Friday night press conference in Pacific Palisades went off the rails after he went back and forth with Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA) about state policy on forest management, water, FEMA, and private insurance companies.

Trump landed late Friday afternoon in Los Angeles, where he was greeted by Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom. Trump and Newsom have traded barbs publicly about this month’s deadly L.A. County wildfires.

While seated next to First Lady Melania Trump and one chair over from L.A. Mayor Karen Bass at Friday’s conference, Trump found another nemesis in Sherman.

The longtime House Democrat had already confronted Trump about making federal aid for devastated communities in the area conditional.

Trump Orders Release of Classified Records on JFK, RFK, and MLK Assassinations

/2 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order declassifying the records surrounding the assassinations of three pivotal figures in American history: President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

The announcement came via a video shared on X (formerly Twitter), in which Trump was briefed about the executive order before signing it. The order directs the release of files related to the tragic events surrounding the deaths of these iconic figures, promising to bring long-awaited answers to the public.

“That’s a big one, huh?” Trump responded when informed about the magnitude of the decision. “A lot of people are waiting for this— for years, for decades. And everything will be revealed,” he added, expressing the weight of the decision and the anticipation that has surrounded these cases for decades.

The executive order emphasizes that more than five decades after the assassinations, the American public and the families of the victims still do not have full access to all the government’s records regarding the events. “It is in the national interest to finally release all records related to these assassinations without delay,” the order reads. It stresses the importance of transparency and the public’s right to know the truth about these historical tragedies.

Trump had previously promised to release the documents related to these high-profile assassinations, along with other classified records on topics of significant public interest. He had hinted at this declassification as part of his broader effort to “restore transparency and accountability” within the government, a theme he reiterated after signing the order. “We are going to make public remaining records relating to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, his brother Robert Kennedy, as well as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and other topics of great public interest,” he declared.

‘Hannity Vanity!’ MAGA Fans Melt Down Over Fox News Host’s Behavior in New Trump Interview

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .Hannity, usually a favorite among conservatives, was chided up and down on social media Thursday.

MAGA influencer @catturd2 posted , “Hannity loves to hear himself talk. Pathetic,” in response to a regional Trump campaign official’s complaint, “Why can’t Hannity just hush and stop interrupting? This character flaw aggravates me so much. Let @POTUS speak man!!!”

A poster described as a ” communications professional ” wrote, “Yeah, there’s a difference between being a talk show host on the radio where you’re the only person in the room and the role of an interviewer. He hasn’t figured that out yet. Kind of a shame given the access he has.”

Yet another poster wrote , “Hannity Vanity – That’s my President.. Let him speak.”

Hannity interrupted Trump several times to change the topic to the economy — an issue pundits agreed helped Trump win the election. But Trump wasn’t having it, causing Hannity to keep interrupting.

Trump Erases ‘Bidenbucks’ And Taxpayer-Funded Leftist Voter Registration Drives

/0 Comments/in , /by

“Bidenbucks” was technically dead on arrival on President Donald Trump’s first day in office, but the election-influencing executive order that Trump’s predecessor signed nearly four years ago will take diligence to fully kill.

As David Craig, legal director for the Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA), told The Federalist, Biden’s order “has substantial tentacles across government.” FGA has been on the frontlines of the battle against Bidenbucks since the executive order’s inception at the beginning of Biden’s term.

“The head is cut off the snake but the body continues to slither,” Craig said, noting how deeply embedded Bidenbucks is in every agency, each teeming with left-leaning bureaucrats.

Soon after taking the oath of office on Monday, the new president rescinded scores of his predecessor’s edicts that Trump says “embedded deeply unpopular, inflationary, illegal, and radical practices within every agency and office of the Federal government.” Among the chloroformed is Biden’s Executive Order 14019. It has been expunged from the White House website. . .

The so-called “Promoting Access to Voting” directive that Biden signed in early March 2021 was nothing more than a taxpayer-funded get-out-the-vote machine to elect Democrats. As The Federalist has reported, the order instructed federal agencies to assist in a nationwide voter registration promotion campaign.

Kamala Harris Consulted Hillary Clinton Over How to Deal With Brutal Loss to Trump: Report

/2 Comments/in , /by

. . .Following her brutal election loss, former Vice President Kamala Harris reportedly spoke with Hillary Clinton on multiple occasions as she mulls her future in the wake of President Trump’s return to the White House.

Not much is known about the details of those discussions, but Harris had also consulted family members and friends while trying to figure out her future, New York Magazine reported.

Clinton, 77, was the first woman to win the Democratic nomination for president, and she was also the first female to notch a popular vote victory.

Harris, 60, was the first female vice president in US history and the second woman to serve as the Democrats’ presidential standard bearer.

But both were beaten by Trump, 78. (Read more from “Kamala Harris Consulted Hillary Clinton Over How to Deal With Brutal Loss to Trump: Report” HERE)

This Is President Trump’s Boldest Move So Far — Even Reagan Chickened Out on It

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By now no one should be surprised at President Trump’s sweeping reversals of the conventional wisdom on everything from A (asylum) to W (wilderness access)­ — sorry, no executive orders affecting anything beginning with Z yet.

But in revoking President Lyndon Johnson’s 1965 Executive Order 11246 that launched our decades-long imposition of de facto racial quotas under the euphemism “affirmative action,” Trump has gone beyond the boldest imagination of any previous administration.

A brief history: When the Civil Rights Act of 1964’s Title VII — the clause banning racial discrimination in hiring — was debated in the Senate, opponents charged it would lead to racial quotas.

The Civil Rights Act’s floor manager, future Vice President Hubert Humphrey, denied the claim, saying, “If the senator can find in Title VII any language which provides that an employer will have to hire on the basis of percentage or quota related to color, race, religion or national origin, I will start eating the pages one after another because it is not in there.”

Humphrey lied, essentially. The civil-rights lobby was already planning for Johnson’s executive order that called for federal contractors to adopt “affirmative action” — that is, quotas by another name.
