Democrat Senators Oppose Diversity For One Day Only [...] The diversity, equity, and inclusion that typically serve as a pillar of the Democratic Party were briefly cast aside today in an all-out effort to prevent a woman and a brown man from obtaining prominent positions within the federal government. "We're pumping the brakes on all the diversity talk for today," said Arizona Senator Mark Kelly. "It's always important to us to advance the cause of underrepresented groups when filling jobs… just not today. We're not nearly as excited about putting a woman in an important government position today as we normally are. Tulsi Gabbard belongs in the kitchen making sandwiches. If we can get a Democrat back in the White House, that will be the time to push for diversity in cabinet positions."

BOOM! NTSB Chair Calls Out Media Hypocrisy on Crash Speculation The National Transportation Safety Board just gave an update on last night's midair collision between an Army Black Hawk helicopter and an American Airlines commuter flight. More than 60 individuals are presumed dead, and recovery efforts continue in the Potomac River. Unsurprisingly, there wasn't a lot of new information—with one exception: board member J. Todd Inman stated that "no chutes or slides were deployed" subsequent to the crash, indicating that there was no time to deploy emergency evacuation procedures. A reporter from NBC, Tom Costello, asked NTSB Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy, "Does it hurt your investigation process to have the president already suggesting possible causes here as you try to keep in mind and begin this investigation?" Homendy wasn't having it. [...] https://pjmedia.com/paula-bolyard/2025/01/30/boom-ntsb-director-calls-out-left-wing-media-hypocrisy-on-crash-speculation-n4936525

DCA is unsafe and should be closed, but our dear Senators and Congressmen want it kept open for their convenience.

Elizabeth Warren Asks RFK Jr. How He Will Address Outbreak Of Smallpox From White Man's Blankets WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a heated exchange during Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s confirmation hearing before the Senate Committee on Finance, Senator Elizabeth Warren asked RFK Jr. how he would address the outbreak of smallpox from the white man's blankets. Kennedy faced intense questioning from multiple members of the committee ranging from his views on abortion and vaccines to disease research and baby onesies, with Warren's savage question taking center stage in the contentious hearing. "And what of smallpox outbreak from paleface blankets?" a proud and stoic Warren asked. "We make'em trade. Buffalo hide for blankets.

Trump Announces Plan To Make California A Part Of The U.S. WASHINGTON, D.C. — Adding to a list of bold initiatives that had included speculative goals to annex Greenland and absorb Canada as a new state, President Donald Trump announced a new plan to make California a part of the United States. According to inside sources, the plan came about due to Trump's dream to provide the oppressed people of California with the same freedoms and liberties experienced by citizens of the United States. "It's time to once again spread democracy outside our borders," Trump said in a brief statement to the media.

Single Men Begin Dressing As Illegal Immigrants Hoping Kristi Noem Will Detain Them NEW YORK, NY — ICE operations to round up and deport undocumented immigrants hit an unexpected snag yesterday, as agents discovered that single men had begun dressing as illegal aliens in hopes that Kristi Noem would detain them. Immigration agents confirmed that they had mistakenly apprehended multiple single American men who had cleverly disguised themselves as foreign nationals with the goal of having the new Secretary of Homeland Security take custody of them. "Ay, mami! Come arrest me! I'm totally here illegally!" one man was heard shouting in the street where Noem was leading the raid.

And Guantanamo is outside the jurisdiction of leftist Federal judges, right? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This Is War, After All: Trump Prepares to Send 30,000 Criminal Illegals to Gitmo Barack Obama wanted to close down the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, and Old Joe Biden freed numerous jihad terrorists in an effort to empty it altogether, but now Donald Trump has found a new use for Gitmo: He has directed that it be prepared to house criminal illegal migrants. This is a superb idea for several reasons. [...] https://pjmedia.com/robert-spencer/2025/01/29/this-is-war-after-all-trump-prepares-to-send-30000-criminal-illegals-to-gitmo-n4936493

At LONGEST last. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Joe Biden Failed Jewish Students, Donald Trump Is Stepping Up [...] The new executive order outlines specific directives for federal agencies to report on and propose additional measures to combat campus anti-Semitism. Within 60 days, department heads are required to submit comprehensive reports on existing civil and criminal authorities that can be leveraged to fight back against these rising tides of hate. The order doesn't pull any punches; it declares, "It shall be the policy of the United States to combat anti-Semitism vigorously, using all available and appropriate legal tools." This robust approach signifies that the federal government will not shy away from prosecuting those who engage in anti-Semitic harassment and violence. Sadly, we got such a lackluster response to the growing normalization of hate during the Biden years, but this order signals a shift—a commitment to accountability. Further measures include [...] https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2025/01/29/joe-biden-failed-jewish-students-donald-trump-is-stepping-up-n4936497

Talk loudly and swing a yuge stick: Trump does Teddy Roosevelt one better Judging from the first week or so, the Trump doctrine is going to be: We can do it the easy way, or the hard way. Those are the words the president used in a post on Truth Social last week threatening tariffs on Russia if it didn't cut a peace deal with Ukraine. Trump is a president who understands, and has no hesitation in using, the leverage the United States has abroad as the world's pre-eminent economic and military power, and the leverage he has at home as a newly elected president with a mandate and the strong backing of a fervent political movement. He's going to talk loudly and swing whatever stick he has at hand. His brief diplomatic tussle with the president of Colombia was instructive.
