Jesse Jackson honored by Trump

Trump Just Honored Jesse Jackson – And Used One Line To Destroy Obama’s Legacy

Jesse Jackson died Tuesday at 84, and the tributes poured in from politicians across the spectrum.

But Trump's tribute wasn't like the others.

He honored Jackson, listed everything he did to help him – and then dropped a line about Obama that nobody saw coming. Trump's Truth Social Post Lists Rainbow PUSH Coalition Support and HBCU Funding.

Trump didn't just offer hollow words. He provided concrete examples of how he helped Jackson for decades before anyone called him racist. "I provided office space for him and his Rainbow Coalition, for years, in the Trump Building at 40 Wall Street," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

That was the 1990s, when Jackson publicly praised Trump for supporting minority business initiatives. At the 1999 Wall Street Project conference, Jackson commended Trump's "sense of curiosity" and commitment to minority business development. They attended boxing matches together at Trump Plaza in Atlantic City.

Jackson took Trump seriously during both his 1984 and 1988 presidential runs when others dismissed him.

Communist Mamdani going to squeeze the wealthy

Mamdani Plans To Raise Property Taxes In NYC By 10% As Part Of ‘Affordability’ Push

Communists believe in the elimination of wealth inequality, ensuring resources are distributed based on need

Which in this case is the mismanaged city of New York.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) said Tuesday that he is prepared to raise city property taxes by nearly 10% if New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) and state lawmakers refuse to increase taxes on corporations and high-income earners.

Mamdani released his preliminary fiscal year 2027 budget proposal outlining how he intends to close a projected $5.4 billion deficit. The mayor described a property tax increase as a “last resort” but made clear it remains on the table if Albany does not act.

“Today, I’m releasing the City’s preliminary budget. After years of fiscal mismanagement, we’re staring at a $5.4 billion budget gap — and two paths. One: Albany can raise taxes on the ultra-wealthy and the most profitable corporations and address the fiscal imbalance between our city and state. The other, a last resort: balance the budget on the backs of working people using the only tools at the City’s disposal,” Mamdani wrote Tuesday on X.

“This is not a conversation on the basis of ideology." This is a conversation about a fiscal crisis. I have long believed in the importance of taxing the rich. I’ve said so publicly many a time, and I’ve long believed in the need for the state and the city’s relationship to be a fair one.

What we are speaking about in this moment, however, is not just that long-standing belief, the long-standing issues that have characterized that relationship, but a generational fiscal crisis of $5.4 billion,” the mayor said. (It's the other guy's fault!!)

He added: “And when faced with this crisis, the question is: who should pay these taxes? I believe that it should be the wealthiest New Yorkers, the most profitable corporations."

Palm Beach State College was on Lockdown

College alert used term 'active shooter' though investigators say gun was never discharged

Palm Beach State College’s Lake Worth Beach campus briefly went into lockdown Tuesday afternoon after an altercation involving three people, including one believed to be a female student and two males who are not enrolled at the college.

According to school officials, the incident occurred at 2:05 p.m. and involved a gun, though investigators with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office said the weapon was never fired. As part of its standard safety protocol, the college immediately issued a campuswide lockdown.

An all-clear was given at 2:30 p.m., and normal operations resumed shortly after. One male suspect is in custody, according to the college.

CBS12 News is working to get clarification from the college on why the term “active shooter” appeared in the campuswide alert if investigators say the gun was never discharged. [WPEC-12]

Palantir AI software company locates its headquarters to Miami

Palantir Relocates Corporate Headquarters From Denver to Miami

Billionaire Peter Thiel's tech firm Palantir Technologies announced Tuesday that it is relocating its corporate headquarters from Denver to Miami, shifting the base of operations for the publicly traded data analytics and artificial intelligence firm to South Florida.

The announcement was made during the Defense Tech Leadership Summit in West Palm Beach, where Shon J. Manasco, a senior counselor at the company, said the firm is now officially headquartered in Florida’s “Gold Coast” region.

Palantir provides data integration and AI software platforms to government agencies and commercial clients, including work related to defense, intelligence and enterprise operations. The company was founded in 2003 and became publicly traded in 2020.

Company officials did not release details about how many employees will be based in Miami or whether the move will result in new hiring locally. Palantir has maintained offices in multiple U.S. cities and internationally, and it was previously headquartered in Denver.

The Florida Council of 100, a private, non-profit, non-partisan organization of Florida business leaders who advise the state's governor issued a statement welcoming the relocation, describing it as part of broader economic development efforts across the state.

“Palantir’s decision to relocate its headquarters to Florida’s Gold Coast is a powerful validation of where growth is happening in America,” said Michael Simas, President and CEO of the Florida Council of 100.

Peter Navarro is firing back at the Wall Street Journal—and he’s not whispering.

In a Presidents’ Day memo, the White House trade hawk says the so-called experts got it wrong again. Inflation falling. Labor markets steady. Growth solid. Navarro argues this didn’t happen despite tariffs—but because of them.

His thesis: while U.S. importers may write the check at Customs, foreign exporters bear the real economic pain through price cuts, margin compression, currency shifts, and lost volume.

In short, nations dependent on U.S. consumers are “eating the cost.”

Democrats own the Government Shutdown, again

Trump blames Democrats for shutdown

Touts falling gas prices and crime numbers aboard Air Force One

President Trump pinned the ongoing partial government shutdown squarely on Democrats Monday, telling reporters aboard Air Force One that the impasse over Department of Homeland Security funding has "nothing to do with Republicans" and accused the opposition of resisting election integrity measures because "they want to cheat in elections."

Trump spoke while flying from Palm Beach International Airport back to Washington, framing the shutdown as a consequence of Democratic obstruction on voter ID, proof-of-citizenship requirements, and immigration enforcement.

He also claimed a string of economic and public safety wins for his administration, pointing to low inflation and falling fuel costs.

The partial government shutdown continues with no deal in sight. At its center: funding for the Department of Homeland Security and a widening disagreement over what conditions come attached to it.

Every time the debate turns to border enforcement or election security, Democrats find a reason to change the subject. The SAVE Act asks for something most Americans consider common sense: prove you're a citizen before you vote. That this is a dealbreaker tells you everything about Democratic priorities.

Is Justice Sam Alito considering retirement?

Justice Alito's 20-year milestone and upcoming book fuel retirement speculation

Legal scholars are reading the tea leaves on Justice Samuel Alito, and they like what they see.

Two prominent law professors have pointed to a constellation of factors, including Alito's age, his recently passed 20-year tenure mark, favorable political conditions, and the curious timing of a forthcoming book, as signals that the 75-year-old justice may be preparing to step down from the Supreme Court.

To be clear: Alito has said nothing. His office has said nothing. The Supreme Court did not respond to requests for comment.

This is informed speculation, not a confirmed development. But the speculation itself is worth examining, because the logic behind it is sound, and the stakes are enormous.

The political math is simple. A retirement now, or within the next several months, gives President Trump a clean path to nominate a successor and gives the Republican Senate a clean path to confirm one. Wait too long, and that calculus could change dramatically.

Kevin O'Leary on Marco's speech in Munich

Rubio’s Munich Speech: The China Alarm Bell

Kevin O’Leary sat down on FOX Business and laid it out plain. He praised Marco Rubio’s Munich speech. He called it one of the clearest foreign-policy warnings we’ve heard in a long time.

Rubio got a standing ovation in Munich. People noticed. O’Leary noticed more than the applause. He heard the target. He says it’s simple: China.

Here’s part of the transcript O’Leary gave, unedited:

O’LEARY: “This all started a few weeks ago at Davos on the famous speech Carney gave, the prime minister of Canada, with the words ‘new world order.’ That did not go well with the Trump administration, as you remember.”

“Actually, it hurt relations with Canada at this point, which hasn’t really restarted on the tariff front.”

“The point is though we are getting to a place now where there’s only adversary, and I think it’s time to just call it out, China. That’s it.”

“And so you either are with us, so to speak, against China, or you’re not.” “Because China is getting ready for world dominance.”

“I call it what it is. Economically, militarily, AI, power, you name it, those guys are not fooling around, and if we don’t wake up and get together on this, they will be the superpower.”

“Now, if you’re okay with that and you want to live in that kind of a world, well, I don’t. So I’d like to see this thing worked out pretty damn fast.”

Whoopi named in Epstein files

Whoopi found in Epstein files

News popped that Whoopi Goldberg’s name appears in the Jeffrey Epstein files.

The View, the most despicable group of liberals, waited a couple weeks and then talked it through on air. The tone was familiar. Calm. Dismissive. And quick to point at President Donald Trump.

The hosts treated the item like a nothingburger. They said anyone could be on a list. They leaned into the idea that being named doesn’t equal wrongdoing.

Read about the big Whoopi

But they would not dare say the same thing about Donald Trump, the person thay love to smear daily pretending that he went to Epstein's Resort with the rest of the perverts.

Little Saint James, also nicknamed as Epstein Island, is a small private island in the United States Virgin Islands, southeast of Saint Thomas. It was owned by American financier and convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein from 1998 until his death in 2019. It was allegedly used as a base of operations for underage sex crimes.

AOC in Munich

There's a reason this trip exists, and it isn't subtle. One unnamed Democratic insider told the Daily Mail what everyone already knows, "She has strong domestic policy credentials, and strong progressive credentials, but if you're going to be on a national ticket and be president or vice president, you have to have some knowledge of foreign affairs."

"Some knowledge" being the operative phrase. In a 2018 PBS interview during her first congressional campaign, Ocasio-Cortez herself admitted the obvious, "I am not the expert at geopolitics on this issue."

Since then, she's reportedly been receiving foreign policy advice from Matt Duss, who spent five years as Bernie Sanders' foreign policy advisor, and getting briefings from the Center for International Policy.

Whether that's enough to stand on a stage in Munich and be taken seriously by European heads of state is the gamble she made.

Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino walked into a Speedway gas station in Minneapolis on January 21. He and multiple federal agents needed fuel and supplies while working immigration enforcement operations.

The manager refused to sell them anything...Not just coffee or snacks—fuel for their official government vehicles.

Conservative activist Cam Higby caught the whole thing on video as Bovino walked out, followed by the manager shouting "I don't support ICE, and nobody here does."

The GSA runs the SmartPay Fleet Card system—the government payment program that lets federal agencies buy fuel at participating stations nationwide.

7-Eleven owns Speedway. Speedway accepts the GSA Fleet Card at thousands of locations. Federal law requires non-tactical government vehicles to use the Fleet Card system. This one manager's political decision could end federal fleet access for this corporation. We hope so. [patriotpulse]

Trans congressman corrects self for misgendering 'boogeymen,' gets ferociously mocked

'But he didn't correct himself when he said 'strongMAN.' Strange'

A transgender member of the U.S. Congress is being mercilessly mocked after correcting himself for using the word "boogeyman" instead of "boogeypeople" Saturday at the Munich Security Conference in Germany.

U.S. Rep. Sarah McBride, D-Del., whose birth name was Tim McBride, joined former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on a panel titled: "Girls Just Want to Have Fundamental Rights: Fighting the Global Pushback."

During the discussion, McBride, who is a man pretending to be a woman, uttered this gem: "A strongman's greatest asset is scarcity. When there is scarcity in jobs, when there is scarcity of opportunity, they pick boogeymen, or in this case, 'boogeypeople,' and they blame them."

Huh?

"Boogie shoes, boogie nights, and doing the boogie woogie are major social issues for strong men."

Munich Security Conference

The Munich Security Conference pulled back the curtain

When world leaders gather on the global stage, there is nowhere to hide. The questions are serious. The stakes are high. And the spotlight is illuminating. What we witnessed was not just diplomacy—it was an audition for 2028.

America does not have the luxury of electing leaders who require on-the-job training in foreign policy.

We face an aggressive China, a revanchist Russia, a radicalized Iran, and a world growing more unstable by the day.

At the same time, we are confronting a crisis at our own southern border—one fueled by policies that have allowed migration to be abused, manipulated, and weaponized. A system designed for lawful immigration and humanitarian protection has been overwhelmed, exploited by cartels, and strained beyond capacity. [Act for America]

AOC failed in Munich. So did Gretchen Whitmer. And Gavin Newsom was a total disgrace. Why were they there to begin with? The rumored goal is that they want to be President of the United States by dissing their own country and president on the world stage? What a strategy.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio was brilliant. He also addressed one of the most urgent issues facing the West: borders. As he stated plainly, “We must also gain control of our national borders, controlling who and how many people enter our countries.” He added, “This is not an expression of xenophobia. It is not hate. It is a fundamental act of national sovereignty.” 

He received a thunderous standing ovation that was not accidental. It was recognition of seriousness, steadiness, and vision.

Trump Wins in Supreme Court Over DEI Claims

Supreme Court Told Eight States To Use Their Own Money After Trump Froze These Massive DEI Wealth Transfers

Eight Democratic states sued Trump for freezing millions in so-called teacher shortage grants

They claimed they needed the money immediately to keep programs running.

Their justification? The programs promoted DEI or discriminated based on race and sex.

California, Illinois, New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Colorado, Maryland, and Wisconsin sued immediately. The Supreme Court just told them to pay for it themselves. Five Conservative Justices Say States Have "Financial Wherewithal" To Cover It

The Court sided with Trump 5-4 on Wednesday.

The majority issued an unsigned opinion that basically shrugged at the states' emergency. "Respondents have represented in this litigation that they have the financial wherewithal to keep their programs running," the justices wrote. If the states win later, they can sue to get the federal money back.

That could take years while programs scramble for funding right now.

Chief Justice John Roberts joined the three liberal justices in dissent, though he didn't explain why.
