Investigating The Cause Of “Broke”

In recent days we are learning a lot about how Washington, D.C. works. Most of it is not surprising, although the volume and depth of the corruption we are uncovering is a little unnerving.

On February 13th, Breitbart posted an article about changes being made at the Kennedy Center in Washington. Ric Grenell is currently serving as the interim executive director of the Kennedy Center.

The article reports:

Opened in 1971, the center was named in 1964 as a memorial to assassinated President John F. Kennedy. It often hosted woke events during the Biden administration. Situated on the eastern bank of the Potomac River down the road from Georgetown, its exterior was also lit in a rainbow color light display.

“Ric shares my Vision for a GOLDEN AGE of American Arts and Culture, and will be overseeing the daily operations of the Center,” Trump posted on social media. “NO MORE DRAG SHOWS, OR OTHER ANTI-AMERICAN PROPAGANDA — ONLY THE BEST. RIC, WELCOME TO SHOW BUSINESS!”

The Kennedy Center has a $240 million dollar budget, yet has zero cash on hand, the source told Breitbart News.

It’s difficult to have a budget of $240 million and have no cash on hand.

The article notes:

Grenell has already made changes to the budget. He fired several highly paid executives and slashed the payroll by $2.4 million, the source added.

The fired executives include the Center’s former president and general counsel.

He will apparently hire new staff with salaries six figures lower than the salaries of those previously in the executive roles.

New members of the Kennedy Center Board of Trustees were also announced.

Those include President Donald Trump, Susie Wiles, Dan Scavino, Allison Lutnick, Lynda Lomangino, Mindy Levine, Usha Vance, Pamela Gross, John Falconetti, Cheri Summerall, Sergio Gor, Emilia May Fanjul, Patricia Duggan, and Dana Blumberg.

I am looking forward to a Kennedy Center that spotlights the best of American artistic talent.

Down The Rabbit Hole With Alice In Wonderland

Posted on by

Sometimes the media spin is just so ridiculous it is funny. I am still trying to figure out how a President reining in government spending is a threat to the Constitution. It seems to me that President Trump is simply doing what he was elected to do.

On Tuesday, Breitbart posted the following:

Establishment media outlets appear to be laying the groundwork to impeach President Donald Trump and perhaps a few of his team members, based on the president’s purge of the so-called “deep state” or administrative state.

Reporters and pundits’ portrayal of Trump’s actions appears to be a signal for what is perhaps to come if Democrats gain control of the House in 2026.

Legacy media and Democrat operatives appear particularly upset that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) gained access to the federal payment system at the Treasury Department to monitor outflows of taxpayer funds. They are also angered about Trump’s decision to essentially defund many agencies, such as the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), and fire rogue and corrupt actors within the administrative state.

These allegations, bolstered by think tank “experts,” caused some Democrat lawmakers to publicly demand the impeachment of Trump, the chief executive of the federal branch. Other Democrats, like Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), suggested they should start by impeaching the president’s director of DOGE, Elon Musk.

Considering that President Trump’s approval is about 60 percent and the Democrats’ approval is hovering around 30 percent, the Democrats might want to rethink their strategy. Is fighting fiscal responsibility a hill they are willing to die on?

The article concludes:

The term “deep state” or “administrative state” describes the phenomenon of unaccountable and unelected administrative agency personnel, including the national security apparatus, exercising power to create and enforce their own rules. The administrative state uses its rule-making ability to essentially usurp the separation of powers between the three branches of government by creating a so-called fourth branch of government not formed by the Constitution.

Many unelected bureaucrats within the administrative state also use their position to inflict their own agenda on citizens. For instance, after the “laptop from hell” story broke in 2020, 51 intelligence officials signed a letter that insinuated Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation. Politico peddled the letter under the title, “Hunter Biden story is Russian disinfo, dozens of former intel officials say.” The 51 signatories seemingly knew the Politico story was false at the time because the FBI had the laptop that Hunter abandoned at a Delaware computer repair shop. Former President Joe Biden cited the story during a 2020 presidential debate with Trump to discredit the laptop’s contents. The story was allegedly planted by former Secretary of State Antony Blinken for Biden to use during the event.

It’s time to go back to government of the people, by the people, for the people.

The Art Of The Deal In The Presidency

On Wednesday, Breitbart posted an article about a recent development concerning the Panama Canal. The government of Panama has already agreed not to extend its Belt and Road agreement with China and may possibly end it early. But there’s more!

The article reports:

The Department of State announced on Wednesday that United States government vessels would be allow to travel through the Panama Canal without facing “charge fees.”

In a post on X, the Department of State highlighted how, since U.S. government ships would no longer face fees, this would save the U.S. “millions of dollars a year.”

“U.S. government vessels can now transit the Panama Canal without charge fees, saving the U.S. government millions of dollars a year,” the Department of State wrote.

The announcement from the Department of State comes as President Donald Trump has remained adamant about the U.S. retaking control of the Panama Canal. In December, Trump threatened to retake the Panama Canal, and has accused Panama of ripping off the U.S. and charging U.S. ships “exorbitant” transit fees.

Trump has also accused Panama of allowing China to have control over the Panama Canal.

Giving away the Panama Canal was a mistake made by a weak President with bad advisors. This compromise may be the solution to the Chinese encroachment on the canal.

When Your Past Actions Come Back To Haunt You

We all remember when in 2022 fifty illegal immigrants showed up on Martha’s Vineyard and were escorted off of the island in record time. The residents of the island claimed that it was a ‘humanitarian crisis’ that they were there.I guess being a sanctuary island only works when no one can get to you easily. Well, the actions of the residents of the island need to be remembered in light of recent events.

On Tuesday, Red State posted an article explaining that the residents of the Island are now planning to resist President Trump’s efforts to send illegal aliens home.

The article quotes Breitbart:

Residents of the wealthy, liberal enclave … defended illegal aliens as the Trump administration has ramped up deportations.

Several older residents of Martha’s Vineyard reportedly attended a rally, with some people holding signs that read, “I pledge to resist,” and “Protect people, resist hate,” according to the MV Times. 

[…]

One rallygoer, Marina Kaufman told the outlet that they “have to protect” illegal aliens, citing how “they are part of the workforce of the Vineyard.”

“We have to protect these people because they are part of the workforce of the Vineyard,” Kaufman said. “And they’re human beings. They have children in schools, they’re scared. And it breaks my heart, it really does.”

They are resisting what they actually did a few years ago! They only want to protect illegal aliens when they are not on their island!

The article notes:

Meanwhile, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters last Tuesday that all illegal aliens are criminals because they illegally entered the United States after a reporter asked, “How many have a criminal record versus those who are just in the country illegally?”

Leavitt responded:

All of them because they illegally broke our nation’s laws, and therefore, they are criminals, as far as this administration goes. I know the last administration didn’t see it that way, so it’s a big culture shift in our nation to view someone who breaks our immigration laws as a criminal, but that’s exactly what they are.

We seem to have forgotten that breaking the law should involve penalties. Otherwise, what incentive is there to follow the law?

Stopping The Flow Of Money To A Tyrannical Government

Posted on by

On Sunday, Breitbart posted an article about a decision made by President Trump about American dollars flowing to South Africa.

The article reports:

President Donald Trump announced Sunday that he is suspending all U.S. aid to South Africa after the latter passed a law on land expropriation, which many fear could lead to Zimbabwe-style seizures of land owned by white citizens.

The president made the surprise announcement on Truth Social, his own social media platform, on Sunday evening:

There have been reports of white South African farmers being murdered for their land with no consequences for the murderers. America cannot support this.

The article notes:

The issue of expropriation has been simmering for decades in South Africa, given the unequal distribution of land, most of which is owned by the white minority as a result of colonialism and apartheid. But until now, South Africa has been reluctant to follow the example of Zimbabwe, which seized land from white farmers in 2000 and plunged the country into starvation, as few black farmers were successful and many farms were stolen by the ruling party.
South Africa, like the United States, already allows the government to seize land under an authority similar to eminent domain, though the preference is for a “willing buyer, willing seller” transaction at fair market prices.

However, radical black nationalist and communist politicians continue to demand that the government seize the property of white farmers. Though few black South Africans want to farm, the issue remains an emotive one.

The article concludes:

Many white South Africans also believe that the high level of rural crime, including the murders of white farmers, is politically motivated. Trump spoke out against the phenomenon in 2018, and highlighted the expropriation issue.

In addition, South Africa also acts contrary to U.S. interests and alliances on the world stage, notably by cozying up to rival powers such as China and Russia, and also by backing Palestinian terror against Israel in international forums.

We need to end a lot of foreign aid–people can hate us for free!

Getting To The Bottom Of The Scam

Posted on by

On Friday, Breitbart reported that CBS has agreed to turn over to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) the unedited transcript of the “60 Minutes” interview of Kamala Harris.

The article reports:

Trump sued CBS for $10 million over the “60 Minutes” interview, claiming it was deceptively edited to make Harris look good. Published reports said that CBS’ parent company, Paramount, has been talking to Trump’s lawyers about a settlement.

The network said Friday that it was compelled by Brendan Carr, Trump’s appointee as FCC chairman, to turn over the transcripts and camera feeds of the interview for a parallel investigation by the commission. “60 Minutes” has resisted releasing transcripts for this and all of its interviews, to avoid second-guessing of its editing process.

The case, particularly a potential settlement, is being closely watched by advocates for press freedom and by journalists within CBS, whose lawyers called Trump’s lawsuit “completely without merit” and promised to vigorously fight it after it was filed.

…In his lawsuit, filed in Texas on Nov. 1, Trump charged it was deceptive editing designed to benefit Harris and constituted “partisan and unlawful acts of voter interference.”

Trump, who turned down a request to be interviewed by “60 Minutes” during the campaign, has continued his fight despite winning the election less than a week after the lawsuit was filed.

The article concludes:

The network has not commented on talks about a potential settlement, reported by the Wall Street Journal and New York Times. Paramount executives are seeking Trump administration approval of a sale of the company to another entertainment firm, Skydance.

ABC News in December settled a defamation lawsuit by Trump over statements made by anchor George Stephanopoulos, agreeing to pay $15 million toward Trump’s presidential library rather than engage in a public fight. Meta has reportedly paid $25 million to settle Trump’s lawsuit against the company over its decision to suspend his social media accounts following the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol.

Not that I have become overly cynical, but my feeling is that if the Biden administration still controlled the Justice Department, that transcript would mysteriously go missing, and that would be the end of the story. However, there is a new sheriff in town. Also, if we were still under the Biden administration, anything in that transcript that was damaging to Republicans would immediately be leaked to the press.

Exactly Who Is Opposing This Nomination?

Posted on by

On Monday, Breitbart posted an article about the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., as Secretary of Health and Human Services. Considering that President Biden’s Secretary of Health of Human Services was a man dressed as a woman, I find the opposition to RFK, Jr. rather interesting. How many Republicans voted for Rachel Levine?

First, let’s look at Rachel Levine (President Biden’s HHS Secretary).

In May 2020, Newsweek reported:

Pennsylvania’s Health Secretary Dr. Rachel Levine confirmed on Tuesday that she recently moved her 95-year-old mother out of a personal care home.

Outbreaks in Pennsylvania long-term care facilities make up nearly 70 percent of the state’s coronavirus-related deaths and 21 percent of the state’s positive cases of the virus.

In March 2021, The Washington Examiner reported:

Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York was not the only state leader to have directed nursing homes to admit patients who had been hospitalized for COVID-19. Governors from Michigan, California, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, all Democrats, enacted similar policies last year as fears grew that hospitals would be overwhelmed with new patients and too few healthcare providers.

So as Pennsylvania’s Health Secretary, Rachel Levine moved Covid patients into nursing homes while removing her mother from the danger. She was approved by Congress as Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Breitbart reports:

A “committee” widely cited in the media as opposing the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services turns out to be a Bill Gates-backed “Astroturf” organization that accepts fake signatories.

The “Committee to Protect Health Care,” cited by NBC News and others, published an open letter declaring that doctors are “appalled by Donald Trump’s reckless decision” to appoint Kennedy. Thousands are said to have signed.

However, there is no verification process for signatories. (Breitbart News was able to sign up as Dr. Donald Duck, OG, of Disney World, FL, specializing in podiatry.) The anti-Kennedy petition simply accepts any signature from anyone.

The article notes:

The Committee to Protect Health Care is a 501(c)4 organization, meaning that it does not have to reveal its donors.

However, a related 501(c)3 charity, The Committee to Protect Health Care Fund, does have to reveal its donors. It is funded in part by the “left-of-center Sixteen Thirty Fund (1630 Fund) and Hopewell Fund.” The Hopewell Fund, in turn, has “hired Arabella Advisors, a leading national philanthropy services firm, to manage its project hosting and fiscal sponsorship services.” The Sixteen Thirty Fund is likewise managed by the Arabella Advisors organization.

Arabella’s donors include “Bill Gates, George Soros, and Mark Zuckerberg,” according to the Capital Research Center: “Each of them has given a tremendous amount of money to (or through) the main network of Arabella Advisors-managed nonprofits and used it to create policy advocacy projects for their favorite pet sociopolitical issues.”

Sometimes all you need to know about a nominee is who the people are who oppose him!

The latest hoax designed to slow down the Trump administration is the smear against Pete Hegseth to try to prevent his confirmation.

Breitbart posted an article on Tuesday revealing some of the details of the people behind the charges.

The article reports:

Danielle Dietrich, the estranged ex-sister-in-law of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who is now claiming he abused his ex-wife, is a lifelong Democrat who is represented by a lawyer working for a prominent Democratic Party-connected firm.

Dietrich is represented by Leita Walker of Ballard Spahr, which “has a strong financial connection to Biden and some Democratic politicians,” according to the Pennsylvania Capital-Star. The news outlet reported:

Individual attorneys at Ballard Spahr have been politically active for at least the last three decades, according to data from Open Secrets. And their giving has skewed to Democrats.

But the firm’s political largesse nearly quadrupled in the Trump era. The previous high was $272,000 in 2008. In 2016, the firm’s attorneys gave $846,000. By 2020, political giving increased to more than $955,000, including $148,450 from a newly active political action committee.

The story continues:

NBC News reported that Senate Armed Services Committee committee staffers were in contact with Dietrich “for several days” before she submitted the affidavit and that she had chosen to come forward in response to a January 18 letter from Sen. Jack Reed (D-RI), the top Democrat on the committee, seeking “a statement attesting to your personal knowledge about Mr. Hegseth’s fitness to occupy this important position.”

The court documents and statements by Pete Hegseth and his wife are contrary to the charges:

Hegseth’s ex-wife, Samantha Hegseth, has denied the allegations herself. She wrote in an email to NBC News:

First and foremost, I have not and will not comment on my marriage to Pete Hegseth.  I do not have representatives speaking on my behalf, nor have I ever asked anyone to share or speak about the details of my marriage on my behalf, whether it be a reporter, a committee member, a transition team member, etc.

She added, “I do not believe your information to be accurate, and I have cc’d my lawyer.”

When she was asked what information was not accurate and for comment on the affidavit, she replied on Tuesday:

There was no physical abuse in my marriage. This is the only further statement I will make to you, I have let you know that I am not speaking and will not speak on my marriage to Pete. Please respect this decision.

Next, the Democrats will be pulling quotes out of Pete Hegseth’s high school or college yearbook.

The More We Learn, The Worse It Gets

On Monday, Breitbart posted an article about the ongoing grooming scandal in Britain.

The article reports:

A whistleblower has claimed that an inquiry into the Rotherham child rape grooming gang scandal intentionally avoided implicating senior police officers in a report on local failures to protect young girls in the English town.

The left-wing Labour government of Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has claimed that previous local investigations into Muslim grooming gangs have been sufficient and that a fresh national inquiry into the widespread child abuse and the politically correct failures to safeguard primarily young white girls is not needed.

In an interview with the Times of London, an unnamed whistleblower involved in Operation Linden by the Independent Office of Police Conduct (IOPC) said that the investigation was underfunded, unnecessarily limited to Rotherham, and was told where not to look too closely, and thus “barely scratched the surface” of the scale of the scandal.

“We were actively told not to pursue senior officers… It was just largely incompetent. There was just no passion or desire within the IOPC to understand what went wrong in Rotherham and find out why those girls were let down,” the whistleblower said.

The article notes the delicacy of the situation:

Contrary to longstanding denials of politically correct failures from police and local officials, the IOPC had previously found that police in Rotherham had been aware that child rape grooming “had been going on for 30 years and the police could do nothing because of racial tensions,” given that most of the victims were young white girls while most of the perpetrators were of South Asian heritage, a British euphemism typically referring to Pakistanis, or others from the subcontinent such as Bangladeshis and Indians.

The watchdog cited one unnamed Rotherham Police chief inspector as saying: “With it being Asians, we can’t afford for this to be coming out as Rotherham would erupt.”

Frankly, I hope all of the people who covered this up face serious consequences.

The article notes that the majority of the public wants a full investigation:

The latest revelations come amid increasing pressure on the left-wing Labour government of Prime Minister Starmer to launch a national inquiry. Starmer, who has dismissed demands for a national investigation as coming from the “far-right“, ordered members of his party to reject a motion in the House of Commons to open an inquiry.

Contrary to Starmer’s claims that the demand for a full investigation as being a product of the “far-right”, a YouGov survey last week found that 76 per cent of the public back an inquiry. Additionally, a poll from More in Common found that 41 per cent believe that the grooming gang scandal was intentionally covered up.

This Will Eventually Be Overturned

Before I get to the specifics of the sentencing of President Trump, I would like to point out something about the news coverage. It is protocol to refer to a person who has held a government position by the title of the highest position held. The protocol results in the following:  Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, President Clinton, President Obama, President Bush. How many news reports have you listened to that referred to ‘Mr. Trump,’ as he was referred to by Judge Merchan? I don’t think these people are ignorant of the protocol–they are simply biased. Even if he had not be elected to a second term, the correct title according to protocol is President Trump. So the next time you hear a newscaster refer to ‘Mr. Trump,’ understand that they are subtly disrespecting the President.

On January 10th, Breitbart reported:

Justice Juan Merchan sentenced President-elect Donald Trump to an unconditional discharge in the Manhattan business records case on Friday, which does not penalize him, though it upholds the jury’s felony conviction.

…Trump–who did not take the stand and was gagged from speaking about witnesses, including his disgraced former attorney Michael Cohen and adult film star Stormy Daniels, as well as counsel in the case other than Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg–addressed the court virtually from Mar-a-Lago.

“I assume I’m still under a gag order,” Trump said, per the New York Times’s Maggie Haberman. “But the fact is, I’m totally innocent.”

The article concludes:

He (President Trump) criticized prosecutor Matthew Colangelo, an ex-Biden official who joined Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office, and Cohen, who he called a “totally discredited person,” per Haberman’s reporting from the courtroom.

Prosecutors in Bragg’s office had initially hoped to freeze sentencing for the duration of Trump’s term, which would have meant he could potentially be sentenced to prison time once he left office.

Trump’s legal team sought to have the case dismissed and the verdict vacated, citing the Presidential immunity doctrine, the Presidential Transition Act, and the Supremacy Clause, among a number of other arguments in a 72-page motion, which Merchan denied.

The case is People v. Trump, No. 71543/23, in the Supreme Court of New York County.

So what does this actually accomplish? It gives the self-righteous Democrats and RINO Republicans the ability to refer to President Trump as a convicted felon until the case is finally overturned by the Supreme Court (as in In the case of Bob McDonnell, who was convicted of a crime, but the conviction was overturned unanimously by the Supreme Court 9-0).

This case will eventually be seen as a blight on the American judicial system.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau Has Resigned

Posted on by

On Monday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced that he is resigning. He plans to remain as a caretaker Prime Minister until the Liberal Party selects its new leader.

On Monday, Breitbart reported:

Trudeau said that if he is “having to fight internal battles,” he would not be the “best option” for the upcoming Canadian election, where Conservatives and their leader Pierre Poilievre are currently favored to win.

Trudeau said he has asked Canadian Governor General Mary Simon to “prorogue” Parliament until March 24. Prorogation means terminating the current session and effectively suspending Parliament until the designated date. Unlike dissolution of Parliament, when the prorogation period ends, the same representatives will reconvene for a new session.

“Parliament has been paralyzed for months after what has been the longest session of a minority parliament in Canadian history,” Trudeau said.

Trudeau has been leader of the Liberal Party since 2013 and became prime minister in 2015. He been under growing pressure to resign after a string of Liberal election defeats, party scandals, and plummeting approval ratings.

The article concludes:

Trudeau’s administration thus became the second Western government to collapse as a result of Trump’s election, the first being the leftist “Traffic Light Coalition” government in Germany. Chancellor Olaf Scholz said within hours of the U.S. election results that Trump’s return was a factor in splintering Germany’s ruling coalition.

President Trump hasn’t even been sworn in yet, and he is making a difference!

About That Peaceful Transition Of Power Thing

Posted on by

Is the peaceful transition of power supposed to include doing everything you can to make things more difficult for the next President? Asking for a friend.

On Monday, Breitbart reported the following:

The Biden administration released 11 Yemeni terrorists, who were captured after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, from Guantanamo Bay.

While the men had been “approved for transfer by national security officials” more than two years ago, they were approved to be transferred to Oman on Monday, according to NPR News.

Oman reportedly “agreed to help resettle them and provide security monitoring” for the 11 prisoners, who are described as being “former al-Qaeda members,” according to records from the U.S. Department of Defense.

The outlet noted that the transfers of the prisoners were “originally scheduled to happen in October 2023,” but were paused “due to concerns” regarding the “instability in the Middle East” in the aftermath of Hamas’s October 7, 2023, attack on Israel.

That the plan was resurrected during President Biden’s final two weeks in office signals a last-ditch effort by his administration to shrink Guantanamo’s prisoner population and get closer to his goal of trying to close the facility. In recent weeks, the U.S. has transferred four other Guantanamo inmates — a Kenyan, a Tunisian and two Malaysians — and is preparing for the transfer of at least one more, an Iraqi.

This is not smart. In 2015 I noted that about 30 percent of the prisoners released have gone back to terrorism (article here). At a time of heightened terrorism alerts in America and around the world, why would you free terrorists. It should be noted that there are no “former al-Qaeda members.” When dealing with ‘former al-Qaeda members,’ Americans (and others) need to keep in mind that in the Islamic faith there is a principle called “taqiyya,” generally described as lying for the sake of Islam.

The decision to release terrorists is a decision that will come back to bite us. Even if the terrorists we are releasing are older now, they will still be involved in planning terrorist attacks in the future. This was not a wise move.

This Is Happening In America

Posted on by

On Thursday, Breitbart posted an article about what some American children are being taught in Texas.

The article reports:

After a New Orleans terrorist attack by an ISIS supporter from Houston, Texas, and amid intensifying warnings of Islamic terrorist threats within the U.S., a resurfaced clip showing hundreds of American children in Houston wearing traditional Islamic dress, chanting references to Iran’s supreme leader, pledging allegiance to him, and praising martyrdom has reignited concerns over growing homegrown Islamic extremism.

The chilling video, aired by Iranian state media in 2022, raises concerns about the spread of various forms of Islamic extremism within the U.S., highlighting ideological influences that extend beyond specific groups like ISIS or Iran’s regime.

…According to the center’s flier promoting the event for “boys and girls ages 4-14,” the song is described as “an expression of one’s love for the Imam of our age.”

Lyrics of the chant, titled “Salam Farmandeh” or “Salutations, commander,” include expressions of desires to become child soldiers for Khamenei as well as the taking of an oath to become a martyr.

The article concludes:

The matter comes after more than a dozen were killed and dozens more wounded in a terror attack in the early hours of New Year’s Day in New Orleans, in which Texas-native terrorist Shamsud Din Jabbar drove a truck with an ISIS flag into a crowd of revelers.

The incident has sparked renewed concerns over the rise of homegrown Islamic extremism within the U.S.

Notably, the Houston-area mosque reportedly attended by Jabbar urged members to refer inquiries from the FBI to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Islamic Society of Greater Houston.

Please remember that CAIR was an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation Trial. If you are not familiar with the Holy Land Foundation Trial and the government exhibits showing the Muslim plan to convert America to a Sharia State, I suggest you start your research here.

I am not opposed to legal immigration, but at some point we need to say ‘no’ to people who do not want to assimilate into American culture. Britain has now introduced Sharia courts. There are Sharia courts in America, but I do not believe their decisions have the weight of actual American law. We need to wake up to the threat that is growing in our own country.

Disturbing

Posted on by

On Wednesday, Breitbart reported that the driver of the truck that drove into the crowd in New Orleans was a U.S. Citizen and an Army veteran who carried an ISIS flag in his truck.

The article reports:

The suspect accused of plowing a pickup truck through a crowd on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, killing 15 and injuring at least 30 on New Year’s Day, is named Shamsud-Din Jabbar, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

The article includes a statement by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI):

The subject has been identified as 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a U.S. citizen from Texas. He was driving a Ford pickup truck, which appears to have been rented, and we are working to confirm how the subject came into possession of the vehicle.

An ISIS flag was located in the vehicle, and the FBI is working to determine the subject’s potential associations and affiliations with terrorist organizations.

Weapons and a potential IED were located in the subject’s vehicle. Other potential IEDs were also located in the French Quarter. The FBI’s special agent bomb technicians are working with our law enforcement partners to determine if any of these devices are viable, and they will work to render those devices safe.

At what point (and how) was this person radicalized? It is disturbing to me that the man was an Army veteran. Was he a radical who joined the army without revealing his views or was he radicalized during or after his service? I think it would be helpful to know that.

It’s Time To Find The Children

Posted on by

On Wednesday, Breitbart posted an article about one of the priorities of the incoming Trump administration.

The article reports:

On Monday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Hannity,” incoming Border Czar Tom Homan stated that the Trump administration will attempt to locate and rescue as many missing migrant children as possible and “We’ll deal with the immigration consequences later, we’ve got to get these kids back with their families, and we’ve got to make sure they’re protected.”

Homan said, “[U]nder the Trump administration, we had a DNA testing. We vetted everybody in the household, not just the sponsor…to make sure there wasn’t a gang member or a child predator living in that household. So, this isn’t incompetence, this isn’t mismanagement, this is by design, this is about moving as many people into this country as possible, because they see a future political benefit in all of this. Do I think they meant to put [children in harm’s way]? I don’t know that. I have my suspicions. But what they did is harming hundreds of thousands of children, and I’ll tell you right now, some of these children, we’re never going to find. Some of these children are dead. Some of these children are living a life of hell every day.”

In August, The New York Post reported:

The Biden-Harris administration has lost track of more than 320,000 migrant children who crossed the border without parents, according to a shocking new report.

Untold numbers of the children — who were released into the US to “qualified sponsors” — are now at risk of sex trafficking, forced labor and other forms of exploitation, a Homeland Security Inspector General’s report released Monday said.

As of May 2024, there are 291,000 migrant children who arrived in the US as unaccompanied minors who were set free and never given a date to appear in immigration court — meaning there is no way to track their whereabouts.

That is in addition to the 32,000 children that Immigration and Customs Enforcement authorities released into the US with hearing dates but then failed to show in court, according to the 14-page report — which tracked a period from October 2018 to September 2023.

One federal whistleblower said that she believes many of these vulnerable kids could already be in the hands of criminals and sex traffickers.

It’s time to close the border to illegal immigrants, and locate the missing children and provide them with the safety and protection they deserve.

 

About That Farm Bill

Posted on by

On Friday, Breitbart posted an article about the ‘Farm Bill.’ Evidently the Farm Bill is not about farms–it’s about food stamps.

The article reports:

The bulk of the Farm Bill is funding for food stamps, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) said Thursday during an interview on Breitbart News Daily.

Sen. Johnson walked through some of the issues with the original 1,537-page continuing resolution (CR) negotiated by Speaker Johnson, which is full of pork. One of the stumbling blocks for some is the inclusion of the Farm Bill in the spending deal, but the senator said it is not what it seems.

“It’s a food stamp bill,” Johnson revealed. “80 percent of the Farm Bill is funding for food stamps, and Obama dramatically increased eligibility.”

The article notes:

“It used to be in prosperous times, maybe 6 percent of the population was on food stamps. Then [the] recessions, go up to 12 [percent] 13 [percent], pretty well stuck at that higher limit nowadays, because we pay people not to work,” Johnson said.

“Let’s be honest, we pay people not to work,” he said, noting that the U.S. welfare program is very generous.

“People don’t pay taxes on them [welfare benefits]. We have a huge transfer of wealth from working Americans to people who don’t work. And we’re a compassionate society. We want to help people who can’t help themselves. We want to help people help themselves, but we created a far too large dependent class. That’s got to end,” he said. “We need to get people off the couch. They’ve got to enter the workforce and grow our economy.”

Let’s put work requirements back in order to receive any kind of public assistance. We can exclude the elderly and those with young children, but let’s put people back to work.

Karma Can Be A Problem

Posted on by

On December 17th, Breitbart reported that the House Administration Oversight Subcommittee report recommends that the Department of Justice (DOJ) investigate former Senator Liz Cheney for witness tampering during the January 6th Committee hearings.

The article reports:

Cheney, a former member of the panel, said last week that she should not go to jail for alleged wrongdoing during her tenure on the committee. President-elect Donald Trump accused members of the partisan panel of destroying committee evidence that he said exonerated him from allegations of wrongdoing.

A report released Tuesday by House Administration Oversight Subcommittee Chairman Barry Loudermilk stated the partisan committee “neglected or withheld evidence” from its final report and “deleted voluminous records it should have preserved.”

The article concludes:

The report found, per Loudermilk’s press release:

1. Former Representative Liz Cheney colluded with “star witness” Cassidy Hutchinson without Hutchinson’s attorney’s knowledge.

2. Former Representative Liz Cheney should be investigated for potential criminal witness tampering based on new information about her communication.

3. Cassidy Hutchinson’s most outrageous claims lacked any evidence, and the Select Committee had knowledge that her claims were false when they publicly promoted her.

The report also alleged “evidence of collusion” between Special Counsel Jack Smith, who prosecuted Trump, and the Democrats’ committee.

This is awkward. If Liz Cheney is guilty of the things that she is accused of, she should go to jail. However, if that happens, it looks like a political case rather than a justice case. But, if Liz Cheney is not held accountable for the things she did, what value does the law have if no one is willing to enforce it? Actually, the easiest solution to this dilemma is to have President Biden pardon her. That doesn’t really solve the problem, but it saves the country from being further divided when she is held accountable for what she did.

January 6th was a horrible event; however, it was not an insurrection–it was simply a protest that got out of hand. There are some real questions about why it got out of hand–paid agitators in the crowd, FBI undercover stirring up the crowd, antifa disguised as Trump supporters stirring up violence. There were a number of factors involved. However, now it the time to tell the truth, hold people accountable, free the January 6th political prisoners, and put the events of that day behind us.

We Can’t Shoot Them Down Because We Don’t Know What’s On Them

On December 13th, Breitbart posted an article about the drones that have recently been sighted over New Jersey.

The article reports:

On Thursday’s broadcast of CNN’s “OutFront,” Belleville, NJ Mayor Michael Melham stated that the drones around the state have to be taken down and stated that there were briefings “that we’ve had Coast Guard working with our New Jersey State Police, our helicopters have seen them. We asked, well, when they go out to sea, are we going to shoot them down?” And they were told the drones wouldn’t be taken down due to fears of what might be on them.

Wait a minute. We don’t know who they belong to (supposedly), we don’t know what they are doing, and we don’t know what is on them. Wow. We really are doing great with our military defenses.

The article notes:

…We were told during the briefing that these drones are hovering over critical infrastructure, and as you said in your intro, you’re talking about nuclear power plants, you’re talking about reservoirs, you’re talking about Picatinny Arsenal, Fort Dix, Trump Bedminster. … Yet, they’re telling us that there’s no credible threat. Yet, they’re also telling us they don’t want to take them out of the air. They’re also telling us they don’t want a temporary ban.”

He added, “[W]e were briefed that we’ve had Coast Guard working with our New Jersey State Police, our helicopters have seen them. We asked, well, when they go out to sea, are we going to shoot them down? No, we’re not going to shoot them down. Why not? We’re told, well, we don’t know. There might be a payload on them. There may be this on them, may be that on them. … The drones should be shot down.”

Melham also said that it is possible that the drones could actually be a federal government countermeasure.

If we are willing to let these supposedly harmless drones fly freely into our airspace, what will stop those that wish us harm from attaching bombs or harmful chemicals to drones and flying them into our airspace?

Hopefully This Will Be The Last Time This Is Celebrated In The White House

Posted on by

I need to make this clear. I don’t care what you do in your private life as long as it involves people who are willing to do it with you. You don’t need my approval or my support. However, there are some things that I simply believe should be kept private.

On Sunday, Breitbart reported:

President Joe Biden’s Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) celebrated yet another LGBTQ+ holiday on Sunday, paying homage to “Pansexual and Panromantic Pride Day” in a post to X.

“Today on Pansexual and Panromantic Pride Day, everyone deserves to feel seen, respected and supported—no matter who they love. Create a world where everyone feels proud to be themselves!” the HHS post reads. 

It’s okay for everyone to proud of themselves, but that pride does not have to have anything to do with sex.

The article notes:

The Biden administration has also openly advocated for child sex changes, and hosted “Pride” celebrations at the White House, including a topless transgender activist and drag queens.

Many officials within the Biden administration identify as LGBTQ+, including HHS secretary Rachel Levine, a man who pretends to be a woman, and Sam Brinton, an “openly genderfluid” former Department of Energy official accused of stealing women’s luggage.

When campaigning in 2024, President Biden promised to bring dignity back to the White House. I am not sure the American people agree with the idea that that is what happened.

Can You Pardon Someone Who Has Never Been Charged With Anything?

Posted on by

Can you pardon someone who has never been charged with a crime? We may be about to find that out.

On Friday, Breitbart reported the following:

White House lawyers are studying preemptive pardons that President Joe Biden has discussed with senior aides, according to multiple establishment media reports.

Democrat and media allies have urged Biden in the last several weeks to pardon many of his comrades, including Mark Milley, Christopher Wray, Justice Department lawyers, Joe Biden himself, the whole Biden family, Liz Cheney, Mark Milley, Rep. Nancy Pelosi, and Adam Kinzinger, among others.

All of these people tried to disrupt the first Trump administration. Some of them committed crimes in the process–destroying evidence, illegal contact with foreign leaders, lying before Congress (is that a crime?), blocking investigations, etc. Although it would be nice to see some of them held accountable for their crimes, I think there are probably more important things for the new Trump administration to do. Some of those things are cutting federal spending, de-politicization of the Justice Department, securing our border, reestablishing energy independence, and restoring America’s position on the world state. Those priorities are an indication of the size of the mess the Biden administration has created in the past four years.

According to CBS News:

Among those who could be eligible for preemptive legal relief include well-known names at the center of many of the most rancorous moments of the first Trump administration, many of whom remain the subject of his public ire.

The list includes Dr. Anthony Fauci, who helped coordinate the nation’s COVID-19 response and later served as Mr. Biden’s top science adviser; retired Gen. Mark A. Milley, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who has called Trump a “fascist” and provided information for several books and news reports detailing the former president’s behavior and activities around the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol; California Democratic Senator-elect Adam Schiff, and other Democratic and Republican lawmakers who led the two impeachment cases against Trump or sat on the House committee that reviewed the Jan. 6 attack — a group that includes former Wyoming Republican congresswoman Liz Cheney, who actively campaigned against Trump this past fall.

Fauci, Milley and Cheney were not immediately available for comment. In an interview with NPR in late November, Schiff said he didn’t think a preemptive pardon is a good idea, because “I think the courts are strong enough to withstand” threats made by Trump.

Just because they may belong in jail does not mean it would be constructive to put them there.

Some Things To Consider About ‘The Pardon’

Posted on by

On Wednesday, Peter Schweizer posted an article at Breitbart about President Biden’s pardon of his son, Hunter. Peter Schweizer is the author of Profiles in Corruption, a book about corruption and money in Washington, D.C. He has done a lot of research into the Biden family and probably knows a lot about where the bodies are buried.

The article lists a number of things unique about the pardon:

1. The enormous scope. Not only was this for a family member, but it effectively made Hunter Biden immune anything he might have done for the past 10 years…

2. This is a proxy pardon that will extend to Joe Biden and other members of the Biden family.

3. The timing matters. Why does it specifically start with Jan. 1, 2014, and end Dec. 1, 2024? Because, Schweizer explains, right after the start date is when the money from China first began to flow.

4. A second bite at Hunter’s immunity deal.

5. Trump’s election triggered the pardon. Had Kamala Harris won the election, her administration would certainly have shut down any ongoing investigations by the Justice Department of a wide influence-peddling operation by members of the Biden family.

6. The criminal justice system does have a double standard, but not based on race or even wealth. It is based on political connections and family connections.

7. The mainstream media is dead. The airwaves and video streams are full of embarrassing examples of supposedly objective reporters and commentators applauding Biden in the past for refusing to pardon his son.

This pardon illustrates the rot that has accumulated in Washington, D.C., in recent years. President Trump was elected to clean out that rot. The establishment is Washington, D.C., will do everything it can to prevent President Trump from putting his people in place to clean up the mess. Be prepared for unbelievable personal attacks and smears against people who up to now have had spotless reputations.

Please follow the link above to read the entire article. The pardon will probably stand, but I hope the investigations into the influence peddling continue.

That Didn’t Last Long

In Islam there is a concept called “hudna.” Hudna represents a truce made because Islamists have found themselves in a state of temporary weakness due to lack of numbers or lack of material. I suspect that the recent truce in Lebanon would fall into that category.

On December 2nd, Breitbart reported:

The ceasefire in Lebanon, barely five days old, is near collapse as of Monday after Hezbollah fired rockets at Israel, following the Biden-Harris administration’s erroneous claim that Israeli surveillance drones violated the agreement.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported Monday that two Hezbollah rockets had been fired at Har (Mount) Dov, a strategic mountain that Breitbart News visited last Thursday and which Hezbollah claims, wrongly, is Lebanese.

No international authority recognizes Hezbollah’s claim, but the Iranian-backed terror group wants Israel to give up the mountain, which commands all of northern Israel below. Before Israel went on the offensive in the war, the Biden -Harris administration tried to convince Israel to comply with Hezbollah’s demands and withdraw from Har Dov.

Hezbollah’s rocket fire followed the Biden-Harris administration’s claim that Israel had violated the ceasefire by flying surveillance drones over Beirut. As Breitbart News noted earlier Monday, nothing in the text of the ceasefire agreement prevents that, and the deal explicitly states that each side may engage in legitimate self-defense activity.

The article concludes:

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi said: “We will respond decisively to Hezbollah’s severe violation of the ceasefire — and will continue to do so. We have plans and targets ready to be carried out and at any given moment.”

Despite the breakdown, the Pentagon reportedly said that the ceasefire agreement is still in effect in Lebanon.

Update: In a statement Monday evening, the IDF said:

A short while ago, the IAF [Israeli Air Force] struck Hezbollah terrorists, dozens of launchers, and terrorist infrastructure throughout Lebanon. Additionally, the IAF struck the Hezbollah launcher in the area of Berghoz in southern Lebanon shortly after the launch of the two projectiles toward Mount Dov.

Hezbollah’s launches tonight constitute a violation of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon. The State of Israel demands that the relevant parties in Lebanon fulfill their responsibilities and prevent Hezbollah’s hostile activity from within Lebanese territory. The State of Israel remains obligated to the fulfillment of the conditions of the ceasefire agreement in Lebanon.

The IDF is prepared to continue operating wherever necessary and will continue to operate to defend Israeli civilians.

Until America gets an administration that supports Israel, the ceasefire in Lebanon will not hold. Any time Hezbollah feels that it has enough weapons to launch an attack on northern Israel, they will probably launch that attack, knowing there will be no consequences from America. We can expect that to change on January 20th.

The High Ground Is Always A Strategic Asset

Posted on by

On Saturday, Breitbart posted an article about a recent discovery by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) 810th Alpine (or Mountain) Brigade.

The article reports:

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) 810th Alpine (or Mountain) Brigade announced Saturday that it had found weaponry manufactured by Iran on the slopes of Har (Mount) Dov, one of two strategic mountains on the border near Israel.

Breitbart News visited the Alpine Brigade on Thursday and toured the Har Dov area, before the discovery of Iranian weaponry was announced. The newly-formed brigade was deemed necessary because of the potential for infiltration into Israel through the unfenced mountain slopes of Har Dov and Mount Hermon, the highest peak in the region.

As Breitbart News reported on location on Thursday:

Har Dov is near the Shebaa Farms, an area that Hezbollah, the Iran-backed terror organization, claims for Lebanon, but which Israel seized from Syria during the Six Day War in 1967. The United Nations, normally hostile to Israel, actually agrees with Israel that Lebanon has no legal claim to the farms or Har Dov.

In recent years, Hezbollah has attempted to encroach on the area. It has also used the Har Dov issue in its effort to persuade Lebanon’s people of the need for war against Israel, rather than admitting that the Iranian regime has been using war for its own narrow interests.

Rather than dismiss Hezbollah’s claims, the Biden-Harris administration took them at face value, and attempted to persuade Israel to withdraw its forces from the Har Dov area as a condition of the ceasefire deal it wanted to impose after Hezbollah had fired missiles, rockets, and drones at Israel for nearly a year, starting in October 2023.

But Israel could not accept such a deal, primarily because Har Dov has a commanding view of almost all of the upper Galilee, making it a key strategic location.

Israel lives in a very dangerous neighborhood. It is to their advantage to maintain control of the high ground that surrounds their nation. Any effort by America or any other country to force them to surrender that high ground is a request for Israel to disappear as a county as it would be overrun by its enemies.

The Cost Of The War In Ukraine Just Got Higher

Posted on by

President Trump has stated that he will end the war in Ukraine through negotiations as soon as he takes office. Hopefully, nothing drastic will change in the next month and a half. However, that may be a vain hope.

On November 23, Breitbart reported:

Moscow’s ambassador to Britain asserted that the United Kingdom is now “directly involved” in the war in Ukraine after Kyiv used British-made Storm Shadow long-range missiles to strike targets inside Russia.

In the wake of outgoing U.S. President Joe Biden’s reported decision to allow Ukraine to use American long-range ballistic missiles to attack the Russian interior, London was seemingly quick to follow suit, with reports this week that Kyiv used UK-made Storm Shadows to hit targets in the Kursk region of Russia, where Ukrainian forces waged a surprise counter-invasion over the summer.

…Meanwhile, Russia unveiled what it is describing as a new hypersonic intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) dubbed Oreshnik, striking Ukrainian targets in Dnipro on Thursday.

Mr Putin claimed that the use of the weapon was justified following Ukraine’s deployment of British Storm Shadows and U.S. ATACMS long-range missiles to strike within Russia, saying: “The regional conflict in Ukraine has acquired elements of a global character.”

According to Russian state media, the Oreshnik is designed to travel at Mach 10 (7,600 miles/12,200km per hour) or around ten times the speed of sound. Kyiv has claimed that the missile that struck Dnipro actually hit speeds of Mach 11.

Russia has asserted that the IRBM is difficult to intercept because of its hypersonic capability, with Putin claiming: “There are no means of counteracting Oreshnik-type complexes in the world.”

We need a skilled negotiator to come in and end this war before it goes nuclear. President Trump understands financial leverage (the Biden administration does not seem to grasp that concept) and knows how to use it. If American floods the world oil market, Russia can no longer afford to fight the war in Ukraine and Iran can no longer afford to fund terrorism. That is the joy of ‘drill, baby, drill.’ It will not only help America with its budget deficit, it will lower the cost of fuel for Americans and bring down inflation. The sunrise begins on January 20, 2025. Our long winter will be ending.

Why We Need The Department of Government Efficiency

Posted on by

On Monday, Breitbart posted an article that included some examples of the way our government spends out tax dollars.

The article reports:

One of the studies highlighted by both Paul (Senator Rand Paul) and DOGE in involves seeing what makes a sunfish more aggressive: Gin or tequila. About $100,000 went toward that project.

The U.S. government also spent nearly one million on a study to see if cocaine makes Japanese quail more “sexually promiscuous.”

It does not end there, either. The U.S. government also spent $750,000 to determine if Neil Armstrong’s famed line was actually “One small step for man” or “one small step for ‘a’ man.” DOGE pointed out that the study was “inconclusive.”

The clip shared by DOGE also features Sen. Paul noting that $2 million was spent on the “construction of a kelp and shellfish nursery in Maine.”

Paul continued: “$1.5 million to encourage video gaming in New York. … We might be better off spending 1.5 million to discourage kids from a playing video games. … $388,000 for Columbia University … $249,000 for the Baltimore Symphony, give money to all the symphonies.”

The article concludes:

“Well, they can get rid of the bureaucrats, for sure. There’s certainly things that they can do on that front. But you know, as an example, Congress created the Environmental Protection Agency. Congress created the Department of Education. Nothing says that they have to have 4,500 employees at the Department of Education,” he told Breitbart News Daily.

The post follows DOGE stating that they are looking for “high-IQ small-government revolutionaries willing to work 80+ hours per week on unglamorous cost-cutting.”

President Trump has promised to cut taxes. Cutting taxes generally grows the economy and helps draw down the deficit. Another way to draw down the deficit is to stop ridiculous spending projects. A third way to draw down the deficit is to increase energy production so that the cost of energy goes down. This results in consumers having more money to spend, more manufacturing in America, and tax revenue going up.
