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.

Obama and Voter ID

Obama Showed Photo ID To Vote In 2012 But Just Told Democrats To Kill Voter ID Bill

Trump White House Exposes Obama's SAVE Act Hypocrisy With 2012 Photo

Karoline Leavitt dropped a bomb Thursday that Democrats can't ignore.

She posted a 2012 photograph showing Obama at the Martin Luther King Community Center in Chicago, pulling his Illinois driver's license from his wallet for early voting. Election worker Marie Holmes is checking his photo ID – exactly what Obama now says would disenfranchise millions of Americans.

Obama joked about the lack of gray hair in his license photo as he complied with Illinois law requiring government-issued photo identification for early voting.

He didn't complain about suppression that day.

He didn't sue Illinois for Jim Crow tactics.

He smiled for the cameras and handed over his ID like every other American who needs one to board a plane, buy cold medicine, or pick up a prescription.

Lake Worth High honors President's Day by a walk-out & protesting ICE

Lake Worth Beach High School students walked out in protest of ICE

Lake Worth Beach High School students walked out in protest of ICE on Presidents' Day.

Students are not getting a proper education today. They need to learn about this Federal Agency and what they do to make America safe. But students, a little advice--don't ask your elected officials, not in this city.

Keith Ellison's Smirk that Revealed Everything

Ron Johnson Told Keith Ellison Exactly What He Needed To Hear After That Smirk

Senate Hearing Revealed What Minnesota AG Won't Admit About ICE Protests

Johnson laid out the damning timeline nobody in mainstream media wants you to see. ICE officers had been shot at while executing lawful enforcement operations in Minneapolis.

Federal vehicles rammed by protesters, rocks thrown at agents trying to do their jobs.

And through it all, Muslim Keith Ellison and Minnesota Democrats weren't calling for calm – they were filing lawsuits, comparing agents to Nazis, and watching as tensions escalated toward tragedy.

He pointed to the reality ICE agents faced every day...Armed protesters with semi-automatic pistols coordinating through Signal chats. Federal officers knowing colleagues had been attacked, vehicles targeted, the next encounter could turn deadly.

The senator put responsibility exactly where it belongs. "A tragedy was going to happen and you encouraged it. And you ought to feel damn guilty about it."

Renee Good And Alex Pretti Died After Democrats Encouraged Confrontation

That's When Ellison Made His Fatal Mistake--Ellison sat there smirking.

Keith Ellison's smirk wasn't just disrespectful. It was revealing. He doesn't feel guilty about Good and Pretti. He sees them as useful martyrs for the Democrat narrative that ICE is evil and Trump is waging war on Minnesota.

Obama Judge Just Emptied Trump’s Toughest Detention Center With One Ruling

Trump builds detention centers. Obama judges empty them.

Trump locked three murderers and a child predator inside Angola Prison

An Obama judge ordered all four released back into American communities.

DHS warned the consequences will be "the continued rape, murder, assault, and robbery of more American victims."
Trump Designated Louisiana Lockup For Worst Criminal Illegals. Angola Prison is Louisiana's only maximum-security facility. Trump partnered with Governor Jeff Landry in September 2025 to turn part of Angola into the Louisiana Lockup.

The facility was designed specifically to house the most dangerous criminal illegals arrested by ICE.

All four had final removal orders.

All four served their criminal sentences.

All four were supposed to be deported.

Instead, Judge deGravelles sent them back onto the streets.

Hillary Clinton posted on Facebook that she's attending the Munich Security Conference (it ended yesterday) for "conversation around our most urgent challenges, including maintaining continued unity in response to Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine."

That phrase "maintaining continued unity" is code language.

It means keeping European leaders committed to weapons shipments and endless war in Ukraine.

Trump's administration is pursuing peace negotiations and winding down the failed Biden policy of blank-check military aid.

Clinton high-tailed it to Munich to lobby against that approach with no official authority to represent the United States.

Several Democratic officials attended, (mostly Trump haters) with many seen as potential 2028 presidential contenders:
* Gavin Newsom: Governor of California.  Trump Hater
* Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: U.S. Representative from New York, who spoke on a panel about populism.  Trump Hater
* Mark Kelly: Senator from Arizona.  Trump Hater
* Gretchen Whitmer: Governor of Michigan.  Trump Hater
* Elissa Slotkin: U.S. Senator-elect/Representative from Michigan.  Trump Hater
* Lindsey Graham: Republican Senator from South Carolina, who led a separate delegation.
* Jeanne Shaheen: Senator from New Hampshire.  Trump Hater

Good Night, Patriots!

No vote, no proposal, no problem. Just a flight to Bavaria.

Congress jets off to Munich as the DHS shutdown kicked in at midnight Friday

The Department of Homeland Security shut down at midnight Friday after Congress failed to pass either a full-year funding bill or even a two-week temporary extension. And where were your elected representatives when the lights went out?

Fox News reported that eleven senators were on their way to Germany for the Munich Security Conference — a beer-friendly gathering about European defense — while the actual defense of the United States went unfunded.

The optics alone would be devastating for any institution that still cared about optics. But Congress long ago stopped pretending.

At least a handful of House Democrats, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, also made the trip. House rules technically prohibit official congressional delegations during a shutdown — a detail that apparently troubled no one enough to stay home.

House Appropriations Committee Chair Tom Cole didn't mince words during a hearing on the shutdown's impact:

"I'm sure Munich is a great place. I've been there many times. The beer is outstanding. But we don't need to go to a defense conference someplace in Europe when we're not taking care of the defense of the United States of America."

Read about the useless Congress

The Democratic playbook here followed a familiar rhythm: block the Republican-led solution, blame Republicans for the result, then leave town before anyone can ask follow-up questions.

And Slimy Newscum is there as well and bad-mouthing Trump and America...such a cool guy.

CCP is “actively targeting U.S. political systems, all the way down to local elections"

California Chinese man illegal agent of the CCP

Termites don’t announce themselves; they work quietly, invisibly, gnawing at the foundation while the homeowners sleep soundly above. By the time you notice the damage, the structure is already compromised.

For years, Americans have watched with growing unease as reports trickle out about elected officials and their staff maintaining troubling connections to foreign powers. We’ve been told we’re paranoid, xenophobic. You know, supposedly seeing shadows where none exist.

Then a case comes along that proves the shadows are very real indeed.

This week, a California man named Yaoning “Mike” Sun was sentenced to four years in federal prison for acting as an illegal agent of the Chinese Communist Party. Sun, 65, spent years spreading CCP propaganda, conducting surveillance on behalf of Beijing, and—perhaps most troubling—helping to elect a local politician in Southern California.

Sun wasn’t some distant operative working in the shadows; he served as campaign treasurer for Eileen Wang, now the mayor of Arcadia, California. Court documents reveal he was also her fiancé.

An Anti-Ice protest functioning as cover for violence

Federal agent hospitalized after attack during anti-ICE protest in downtown Los Angeles

A federal agent was attacked and hospitalized Friday during an anti-ICE protest in downtown Los Angeles after suspects assaulted the agent and then disappeared into the crowd of marching demonstrators.

The LAPD confirmed the incident in a post on X before 1 p.m., noting that the suspects who carried out the attack melted back into the protest — a tactic that makes the march itself a shield for violence.

"Suspects who attacked the Federal Agents have blended into the March."

The LAPD also confirmed that the Los Angeles Fire Department was dispatched to treat the injured agent, who was transported to a hospital in unknown condition. Police did not specify which federal agency the agent worked for, and as of Friday afternoon, it remained unclear whether any arrests had been made in connection with the attack.

The protest, described by local outlets as a student walkout, blocked traffic in downtown L.A. and included acts of vandalism at the Federal Building. Demonstrators also threw items at police.

Our Economy is perfect

'Perfect Trump economy': Peter Navarro says 'everything is hitting on all major cylinders, and the best is yet to come'

'It's probably one of the best years in modern American economic history.

Not hyperbole, that's what the data is telling us'

Appearing on "Sunday Morning Futures" with Maria Bartiromo on the Fox News Channel, Peter Navarro, senior counselor for trade and manufacturing, highlighted economic successes in the first year of Trump taking the helm from the high-inflation era of Joe Biden.

"It's the perfect Trump economy in 2026. It's what we call the Goldilocks economy," said Navarro, alluding to conditions being just right from the children's story of that title.

"The last time we saw what we're seeing now was 1998. We're seeing the stock market over 50,000 Dow, that's Wall Street. But we're also seeing rising real wages. That's Main Street."

"This is happening because of tariffs not in spite of them."

Read World Net Daily

As an aside, Bill Clinton was President in 1998 and his administration oversaw a significant period of peacetime economic growth and the first federal budget surplus in decades. We were actually in the Black.

Voter ID

The SAVE ACT / SAVE AMERICA ACT

passed the house and we have 48 US Senators supporting the bill to require photo ID and proof of citizenship to vote in US elections

RINO Globalist Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski has come out against the bill (DC # (202) 224-6665 ) and really needs a strong GOP primary challenger in 2028!

Our current hurdle is the 60-vote filibuster rule, where 60 Senators must vote for cloture for the bill to advance, and then 51 votes are needed to send the bill to President Trump's desk, where he has indicated he wants to sign it.

The filibuster rule in the past helped us defeat Amnesty legislation 8 times in DC that would have already added 10+ million illegals to the Democrats' voter base, making today's efforts to save the nation and Trump's election wins impossible. [ALIPAC]

Haiti's TPS Designation

Federal Judge Upholds Block on Trump Administration’s Termination of Haitian 16-Year TPS for 350,000 Migrants

After reviewing country conditions and consulting with the appropriate U.S. government agencies, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem determined that Haiti no longer meets the conditions for its designation for Temporary Protected Status (TPS).

See Termination of the Designation of Haiti for Temporary Protected Status, 90 FR 54733 (Nov. 28, 2025).

Haiti’s TPS designation and related benefits were slated to terminate on Feb. 3, 2026. On February 2, 2026, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia issued an order staying the TPS Haiti termination. Miot et al. v. Trump et al., No. 25-cv-02471-ACR, D.D.C.).

Haiti has had a TPS for 16 years. There is nothing "temporary" about that.

Under the previous administration, Temporary Protected Status was abused to allow violent terrorists, criminals, and national security threats into our nation.

TPS was never designed to be permanent, yet previous administrations have used it as a de facto amnesty program for decades.

The House Homeland Security Committee hosted a hearing featuring Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Todd Lyons and Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott and Democrats acted as you would expect.

Furious over enhanced immigration enforcement across the United States, Democrats on the committee either misrepresented the incidents that have grabbed the nation’s attention or put forth insane questions to Lyons and Scott. Instead of getting facts on the record, the Democrats were more interested in getting their soundbites in.

An example of stupidity--
Rep. Shri Thanedar (Mich.) asked Scott if he is planning on seeking a pardon from President Donald Trump due to the conduct of Border Patrol agents operating within the United States.

“I signed up for this job to protect America and I’m very proud of the service that I provide and I don’t need a pardon from anybody,” Scott replied. [politibrawl]
