“If Putin is playing Trump, he will regret it.”

“The welfare state is the greatest confidence racket of all time. The government takes your money in taxes and then turns around and spends some of it to give you things. For this, you feel dependent on them, when in fact they are dependent on you.”

“What’s funny about it to me is you’re mad at the guy who found the fraud, but not mad at the people that wasted your money.”

“We did put 235 judges, progressive judges, judges not under the control of Trump, last year on the bench, and they are ruling against Trump time after time after time.“

“It just can’t be right that one district judge can stop a nationwide policy in its tracks and leave it stopped for the years it takes to go through the normal process.“

CLOSE the Department of Education: Yes… and send the money directly to the students in the form of a Federal Education Voucher to be used at the school of their choice.
Cut out the middleman. Cut out wasteful spending. Cut out the crony government programs.
Let’s get federal education dollars to the students and schools directly, WITHOUT wasting BILLIONS in extra costs, useless pet projects, and federal bureaucrats that offer little when it comes to teaching our children and grandchildren how to read, write, do arithmetic, and other skills needed to be productive citizens.
Russia vs Ukraine: So, let’s put this into perspective:
President Trump wants peace.
Americans want peace.
President Zelensky wants peace.
Ukrainians want peace.
My bet is MOST Russians want peace.
HOWEVER, President Putin wants to rebuild an empire and retain his power…at all costs.
Millions of Russian and Ukrainian soldiers, civilians, and children have died and will die until Putin’s Russia is stopped.
Putin “thinks” he can play Trump. Trump is trying to give him room for a peaceful settlement, but if Putin keeps playing Trump the fool… this will NOT end well for Putin!
Your Child, Your Grandchild: Putin’s Russia has kidnapped Tens of THOUSANDS of Ukrainian children and dispersed them all over Russia. This is clearly a WAR CRIME committed by Putin and his minions.
Imagine what it is like for the parents and grandparents in Ukraine who have to live with this daily. The pain and suffering is worse than death. The brutality and inhumanity of such actions are hard to fathom.
These families deserve to be reunited!
District Court Judges vs President: If District Court Judges want to govern and set policy, they should run for office.
They were created by Congress and have no Constitutional authority to legislate from the bench, let alone overturn Presidential decisions.
Activist judges are probably the greatest threat to democracy… but liberals like their politics, and that fires up the left-wing mainstream media, ANTIFA-like activists, and progressive Democrats.
My guess is that American voters see their actions for what they are and give the average voter another reason NOT to support liberal, progressive candidates.
Sad Truth We See on the News: The Top Ten things Democrats are currently PISSED OFF about.

Trump Is Right To Push Back Against Judicial Supremacy
A federal judge has no power to usurp Executive Branch authority or dictate foreign policy to the president.
Did President Trump ignore an order from U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg in Washington, D.C., to halt the deportation of hundreds of alleged terrorists and gang members this weekend? No.
Would it have been constitutional if he had? Yes.
For too long, we have accepted without question the fallacious notion that the federal judiciary has the exclusive power of constitutional interpretation, and that the states and the other branches of the federal government are bound to accept whatever the courts decide. This myth of “judicial supremacy” has thrown the constitutional system devised by our Founders out of balance, and it needs to be rejected.
The current case, which concerns whether a federal judge can prevent the removal of foreigners whom the Executive Branch has determined are part of a terrorist organization, is the perfect opportunity to reassert the Founders’ view of the power of constitutional interpretation — a view that was shared, and acted upon, by presidents Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln. It now seems the Trump administration is reviving this long-lost view, and it’s about time.
Judges v Trump: Here are the key court battles halting the White House agenda
The recent wave of preliminary injunctions from federal judges has stymied President Donald Trump’s early agenda in his second White House term, prompting new questions as to how far the administration might go if it opts to challenge these court orders.
Federal judges across the country have blocked Trump’s ban on transgender persons serving in the U.S. military, ordered the reinstatement of core functions of the U.S. Agency for International Development, or USAID, and halted Elon Musk’s government efficiency organization, DOGE, from oversight and access to government agencies, among other things. They’ve also temporarily halted deportations, or attempted to, so judges can consider the relevant laws.
Combined, the wave of rulings has been met with outrage from Trump administration officials, some of whom said they plan to appeal the rulings to the Supreme Court, if needed. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt has used her podium to rail against “radical left-wing judges,” who she has alleged are acting with a political agenda to block Trump’s executive orders.
“These judicial activists want to unilaterally stop President Trump from deporting foreign terrorists, hiring and firing executive branch employees, and determining the readiness of our troops,” Leavitt said on X, expanding on remarks made Wednesday at a press briefing.
Democrats dealt messaging blow after NRCC defamation threat forces Medicaid billboards to come down
A vendor in charge of displaying House Democrats’ billboards accusing vulnerable Republicans of voting to cut Medicaid and give tax breaks to Elon Musk was forced to take them down after House Republicans’ campaign arm sent a cease-and-desist letter on Wednesday.
The Washington Examiner exclusively reported that House Majority Forward launched six billboards in vulnerable Republican districts, those of Reps. Gabe Evans (R-CO), Don Bacon (R-NE), Ryan Mackenzie (R-PA), Monica De La Cruz (R-TX), Jen Kiggans (R-VA), and Rob Wittman (R-VA), on Tuesday.
But now, the billboards have been pulled after the National Republican Congressional Committee sent a letter to Lamar Advertising Company, warning the vendor it “will be liable for the defamatory messages spread to voters in each district.”
Yes, America has an obligation to help defend Ukraine
When the former Soviet republics declared independence in the early 1990s, Ukraine became the owner of the world’s third-largest nuclear arsenal. At the time, American leaders seemed to think that, as far as our own security was concerned, Russia would be a safer repository than Ukraine for nuclear arms.
We were, to be sure, a bit enamored — first with Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev and then with Russian President Boris Yeltsin. In retrospect, it is unclear which was more mystifying: thinking that Russia would be a better friend to America than Ukraine, or thinking that Ukraine could be a bigger threat than Russia to America.
Be that as it may, the U.S. applied tremendous pressure on Ukraine to surrender its nuclear arms to Russia and to sign a pledge to become a non-nuclear state. At the time, Ukraine possessed long-range bombers that could deliver nuclear bombs, intercontinental ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads and a range of tactical nuclear arms. Ukraine at first resisted American pressure because, as its leaders said, it feared yet another repeat of Russian imperialism.
But after numerous negotiations and much American arm-twisting, the Ukrainians agreed to our demands. That agreement was memorialized in what is referred to as the Budapest Memorandum, signed by Ukraine, the U.S., the United Kingdom and the Russian Federation in 1994.
Lawmakers Are Pressing the Trump Team for Answers on Abducted Ukrainian Children
“It looks like we’re playing into the hands of Putin again, and it’s not good,” Rep. Don Bacon told NOTUS.
Members of Congress this week are trying to pick up the pieces of a project that had been tracking Ukrainian children abducted by Russia — research that was derailed in January when the Trump administration abruptly froze its funding.
Lawmakers funded the effort to track forced removals of Ukrainian children soon after Russia launched its full assault on the nation in 2022. Now, it’s not clear if three years of work — and data about tens of thousands of children — was thrown out the window due to the administration’s funding freeze.
Members of Congress want the U.S. government to continue to support the research, which has helped Ukrainian organizations seeking to rescue Ukrainian kids from Russia.
“We have reason to believe that the data from the repository has been permanently deleted. If true, this would have devastating consequences,” a group of 17 lawmakers wrote about the research in a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Wednesday. “Can you please update us as to the status of the data from the evidence repository?”
The State Department isn’t offering much information. In a statement, a department spokesperson told NOTUS that “any questions regarding the Conflict Observatory and its sub-implementers” should be referred to MITRE, the organization that maintained the database.
The Future of Our Alliance With Europe
I began my career in the Reagan White House and Defense Department, where Captive Nations Week served as a powerful reminder of those suffering under communism. We celebrated heroes like Lech Wałęsa, Pope John Paul II and Václav Havel.
Today, my relationships with representatives from Poland, Lithuania and Ukraine have deepened my understanding of these struggles and current Russian threats. I was part of the international election monitoring team during Moldova’s fall elections and have written extensively about the brutal persecution of Christians in Russian-occupied territories. The plight of 19,000 Ukrainian children — trafficked, sent to re-education camps and even adopted into Russian families — is nothing short of heartbreaking.
I recognize the frustrations of many fellow Americans. Fifteen years ago, Angelo Codevilla, a Boston University professor and former Capitol Hill staffer, argued that a self-reinforcing elite increasingly governed America — the “Ruling Class” — while the broader public, the “Country Class,” felt unheard.
This divide isn’t about party or ideology. The Country Class includes those who value self-reliance, local decision-making and personal freedom over top-down control. They have grown distrustful of institutions — government, media and corporations — believing significant decisions have been made without their input.
They see the influence of Davos elites and the Paris Climate Accords as directly responsible for job losses, from the Keystone Pipeline to the coal mines in Appalachia. They’re frustrated that their government spends money it doesn’t have on causes they don’t support.
Reversing the Biden disaster will take more than two months
Former Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is perhaps best remembered for repeatedly insisting that the persistent inflation plaguing the Biden administration was merely “transitory” — right up until the day she declared she was “ready to retire the word transitory.”
Speaking at the Wall Street Journal’s CEO summit in December 2024, Yellen expressed regret over the administration’s lack of progress in reducing the national debt “especially now that we’re in an environment of higher interest rates.”
Noting that the cost of servicing the national debt had exceeded $1 trillion, Yellen acknowledged, “It’s one of the largest contributors to the increase in the budget deficit.”
At the time of her remarks, the U.S. national debt stood at $36,163,442,396,226.
When former President Joe Biden took office in January 2021, inflation was just 1.4%, and the federal funds rate hovered near zero. The United States was emerging from the COVID-19 recession, with people returning to work and the economy poised for growth.
House Republicans target 26 Democrat districts for the 2026 cycle
House Republicans are targeting 26 districts heading into the 2026 midterm elections as the party insists that it is on “offense” to keep and expand its razor-thin majority.
The National Congressional Campaign Committee announced its list of congressional districts held by Democrats, including 13 that were won by President Donald Trump in the 2024 election. The list comes as Republicans face a daunting task to keep the majority in the midterm elections, a cycle that historically sees the House flip to the party opposite the White House.
The last five presidents, including Trump’s first term, began with trifectas, only to see their control of Congress slip away after two years of aggressively pushing their party’s agenda.
But House Republicans are confident they will control the House throughout Trump’s entire second term.
“House Republicans are in the majority and on offense,” said NRCC Chairman Richard Hudson. “Meanwhile, vulnerable House Democrats have been hard at work demonstrating they are painfully out of touch with hardworking Americans. Republicans are taking the fight straight to these House Democrats in their districts, and we will unseat them next fall.”
Despite Trump Win, RNC Keeps Foot On The Gas With Election Integrity Efforts
As President Donald Trump moves at breakneck speed to enact his agenda, the Republican National Committee is quietly racking up election integrity wins and gearing up for the next election cycle, the Daily Caller has learned.
The RNC won three lengthy legal battles related to the prevention of election fraud in March across the key states of Arizona, Georgia and Washington.
“These cases represent that a lot of times, things get started and resolved during an election year, but many times they don’t, and the RNC doesn’t walk away from them,” an RNC official told the Caller. “We are here to see these things through.”
In March, Arizona’s Court of Appeals announced that the secretary of state, Adrian Fontes, did not “substantially comply” with the state’s proper rule making process when finalizing the 2023 Election Procedures Manual. The court’s ruling was the result of a February 2024 lawsuit filed by the GOP, which argued that Fontes’s Election Procedures Manual would weaken “safeguards against non-citizen voting,” “unlawfully limited the ability to challenge early ballots,” and “violate[d] numerous provisions of state law meant to protect election integrity,” a party official shared with the Caller.
The Absolute Evil Hypocrisy of the Democrats
There’s a reason Democrats hate the free flow of information on X, Facebook, and other social media, and it’s not just that they simply hate hearing differing opinions, though that’s the result. If people think for themselves – and the more effective way to empower people to do that is to give them as much information as possible and allow them to draw their own conclusions – what they advocate for would be laughed off the stage. They’d never win another election, except in places where they fully control the education system and have created a welfare-dependent economy. Because to listen to the left is to be exposed to some of the biggest, most hypocritical statements and actions anyone can possibly imagine.
Remember the faux pearl clutching whenever anyone suggested anti-Semitic, America-hating, brother-marrying (for skirting of immigration law purposes, not sexual desires – as far as anyone will admit), piece of post-digested food Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-Somalia) or anti-Semitic, America-hating, C.H.U.D., piece of post-digested food Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib (D-Hamas) are free to leave this country and live in whatever third world hell hole they’re desperate to turn this country into? It was always odd how, after someone bitched non-stop about how awful, bigoted, and oppressive they think the government is, reminding them that they’re under no obligation to remain living in this prison – that our walls are to keep people out, not in – was the problem. It was “racist” somehow, but judging every white person to be a bigot was A-OK.
Whenever anyone invited progressive bigots to leave, even offering to help them pack, they were subjected to monologues on MSNBC about how they’re Hitler or worse. “They are American citizens, every bit as American as you are!” they screamed. Not so much anymore.
