"The gloves are off. In a sweeping, coordinated assault dubbed “Operation Epic Fury,” President Donald J. Trump ordered major combat operations against Iran’s regime and its paramilitary enforcers, declaring the era of nuclear brinkmanship and proxy terror over. Israeli strikes hit near Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s compound, while U.S. forces targeted nuclear and IRGC infrastructure. Tehran retaliated with rockets across the region, but interceptions blunted much of the barrage. Trump called it a necessary move to eliminate imminent threats and prevent a nuclear-armed theocracy. The message was unmistakable: deterrence isn’t a press release—it’s action." [Richard Luthmann] Good Night, Patriots! Israel announced Khamenei was killed.

Democrats - Dancing Frogs

Fetterman Was the Only Democrat to Shake Trump’s Hand at the State of the Union and What He Said Next Stunned His Party

Half the Democratic caucus couldn't even be bothered to show up for the State of the Union on Tuesday night.

They were too busy standing in 30-degree weather on the National Mall at a MoveOn rally – one that drew roughly 75 people, about half of them reporters – while Robert De Niro held court at the National Press Club down the street.

But one Democrat did something that apparently required more courage than any of them could muster – and what he told Fox News the next morning exposed exactly how far his party has fallen.

More Than 50 Democrats Boycotted the State of the Union While Fetterman Shook Trump's Hand. Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania walked into the House chamber Tuesday night in a suit, greeted President Trump with a handshake, and sat down like a grown adult prepared to listen to a speech.

He believes he was the only Democrat who shook the President's hand that night. He said it doesn't matter whether a Republican or Democrat is president – you don't yell and scream and disrupt the speech of the Commander-in-Chief.

Then he dropped the line that should haunt every Democratic strategist in Washington.

"I don't think dancing frogs really moves the ball for us as a party."

Loud onstage Tirade by Joe

Biden’s Loud Rant Stole the Show

At a Democratic event in South Carolina, Biden launched into a loud, slurring rant about President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address. He mocked the length of the speech and especially noted that the speech did not mention the anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The moment was loud and awkward enough to make headlines and raise eyebrows about Biden’s stage presence and clarity.

What Biden Said and How He Said It: (He needs to retire completely)

Biden teased the crowd by asking if Trump was still talking and complained that the nearly two hour address never noted the February 24 anniversary of the Russian invasion. The delivery featured raised voice and jumbled pacing that left voters questioning the message instead of the point. It was more spectacle than substantive critique.

Missing Context Biden Left Out:

While Biden called out what he sees as an omission, he also left a lot unsaid. Critics note that the invasion happened during his own administration and point to other foreign policy failures such as the Afghanistan withdrawal.

If Biden wanted to highlight accountability on Ukraine he could have made those comparisons cleaner and clearer for voters but he has never been able to do that.

DHS and Kristi Noem Spied Upon

Noem: 'Deep state' in her own department installed spyware on her phone, computer

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem said Thursday that members of her own department secretly installed spyware on government-issued devices used by Trump administration officials, including her phone and laptop, allowing staffers to record meetings and monitor internal communications.

Noem said on "PBD Podcast" that tech experts, including Elon Musk and members of his team, helped her uncover what she described as unauthorized surveillance software embedded on devices assigned to political appointees. Noem said the discovery came after outside technology specialists examined DHS hardware and flagged suspicious software activity.

"I can't believe what I found since I've been in this department. I just found the other day a whole room on this campus that was a secret [SCIF, Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility] secure facility that had files nobody knew existed.

So we just happened to have an employee walk by a door and wonder what it was and started asking questions," Noem said. "We went in there. There were individuals working there that had secret files that nobody knew about on some of these most controversial topics like that, and now I've got that turned over to attorneys, and we're getting to the bottom of what exactly happened there."

Strikes launched against Iran

USA and Israel Launch Preemptive Strikes in Iran

After weeks of unsuccessful negotiations with a regime unwilling to let go of terrorism, brutal killings of its people, and an insatiable appetite for destruction, America and Israel launch strikes against Iran.

At around 9:00 am local time in Iran, Saturday, February 28, reports began pouring in from residents of Tehran as dozens of air strikes hit regime targets. Israeli Defense Minister Katz stated they had initiated preemptive strikes against Iran, now formally known as operation “Roaring Lion.”

Israel’s Channel 12 first reported the attacks were a joint operation between Israel and USA. At 2:30 am EDT, President Trump confirmed the strikes on his Truth Social account, calling the Iranian regime “the world’s number one state sponsor of terror,” highlighting the countless attacks and deaths of Americans in its 47-year history.

In his speech, President Trump reaffirmed the United States’ stance that the Iranian regime will not be allowed to have nuclear weapons:

“This terrorist regime can never have a nuclear weapon. I’ll say it again, they can never have a nuclear weapon.”

"We are going to destroy their missiles and raze their missile industry to the ground," Trump vowed. "We are going to annihilate their navy, we are going to ensure that the region's terrorist proxies can no longer destabilize the region and the world."

Florida in a drought

All of Florida now in drought for the first time since records began — and it's expected to get worse

"New figures released Thursday show that all of Florida is now in a drought, according to data compiled by the U.S. Drought Monitor.

This is the first time the entire state has been in at least a moderate drought since records began in 1999, according to USDA meteorologist Brad Rippey.

The state has been close to 100% before, in 2001, and most recently in April 2012, when the entire state, except the Florida Keys, was in a drought.

Across Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast, the drought figures stayed the same as last week, with many areas still in an extreme drought. However, even with rain in the weekend forecast, the dry conditions are expected to worsen before they improve."

James O'Keefe in disguise

James O'Keefe was in front of an Antifa compound in Sweden. A man in black bloc was smoking a cigarette outside a taxpayer-funded Antifa compound in Stockholm.

He saw me dressed in full Muslim garb — a kamis I’d bought earlier that day in a neighborhood called Little Mogadishu — and his guard dropped instantly. I told him I’d recently moved from America and wanted to get involved.

He said: “Let me show you inside.”

Here’s what my hypothesis was going in — and it proved exactly right: Antifa cannot say no to a Muslim person for fear of being called prejudiced. So while our Swedish journalist Christian Peterson waited in the getaway car because these people would attack him on sight, I walked right through the front door in a disguise. They gave me a personal tour. Three stories. A stage. Meeting rooms. The whole operation.

I asked if I could do my Muslim prayer inside. They said “Absolutely.”

Then it got better. When I mentioned ICE, the black bloc-wearing Antifa members started chanting along with me. They had no idea who I was. They had no idea we were filming. And they closed the big iron door behind us — with our hidden cameras rolling the entire time.

The Epstein hysteria is back on cable news rotation, recycled and repackaged for another election cycle.

The chant is familiar: “Epstein, Epstein, Epstein.” The implication is always the same — that proximity equals guilt. But proximity is not participation, and repetition is not proof.

Lost in the noise are documented timelines, sworn testimony, and the words of the very lawyer who represented Epstein’s victims.

Donald Trump’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein did not end in scandal — it ended in expulsion. And when federal investigators came knocking years later, Trump did something few powerful men did: he picked up the phone.

Trump helped the victims get one-half billion dollars.

VOTE NO AMENDMENTS 2 AND 3 - Election March 10

Amendment 2

Beach--VOTE NO

Amendment 2:
City-property East of A1A:

This amendment would take away your right to vote on major developments at our public beach. Our City Charter currently requires a public vote for any leases at our beach over 30 years, protecting our beach from overdevelopment. This amendment changes the lease limit, allowing the City to give a private developer a lease of 99 years without a public vote. It strips away a critical safeguard and removes voters ability to have a direct say on large-scale development at our beach.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Amendment 3

Parks----VOTE NO

Amendment 3: City Parks and City Property Downtown and West of A1A to the Lagoon:

This amendment would weaken the law in our charter called “Public Land Public Vote” which protects valuable public land from over-development. This will open city-owned property west of A1A including parks, the golf course, the cultural plaza, public parking lots and city buildings to over development. It removes your right to vote on long-term leases of certain high-value public land to private developers.

A Democrat's Baffling Definition of Bigotry

Dems always pullout the Race card

You’ve seen it a thousand times. It’s the political equivalent of a toddler’s tantrum. When the Left finds itself losing the argument on the issues that truly matter to American families—a secure border, a strong economy, and safe streets—they don’t change their failing policies.

Instead, they reach into their worn-out bag of tricks and pull out the only tool they have left: the race card.

Let’s be clear: this has nothing to do with justice. It’s a political cudgel, wielded with increasing shrillness to shut down debate and demonize opponents.

The accusations have become so disconnected from reality that they now serve as a glaring signal of intellectual and moral bankruptcy. And right on cue, one House Democrat just gave the game away, providing a perfect, almost glorious, window into an ideology that has completely flown the coop.

That was Rep. Marilyn Strickland (D-WA) on CNN, providing a masterclass in the Left’s warped and nonsensical logic. Her diatribe wasn’t just a political attack; it was an accidental confession.

The central “proof” of Trump’s racism is that he… streamlined the federal workforce? This is so profoundly illogical it makes your head spin. Strickland is actually arguing that shrinking a bloated federal bureaucracy, a goal conservatives have championed for decades, is an “anti-black” policy.

Democrat committed a crime at SOTU

Democrat Seth Moulton brings illegal teen to SOTU

This congressman from blue state Massachusetts had one hell of a nerve defying the law

Federal law makes it a crime to conceal or harbor someone who is in the country illegally.

During the State of the Union, Representative Seth Moulton invited a teenage immigrant to the House gallery. Video and posts from the scene show his staff moving the young man out of sight after a Department of Homeland Security tweet flagged his immigration status. The account circulating this story says staff escorted him to avoid arrest.

Whether you agree with the policy or not, this was a public and very visible moment that raised questions about how congressional offices handle guests with immigration issues.

Title 8, United States Code, Section 1324 spells out offenses like smuggling, transportation, and harboring unauthorized aliens. The statute applies when a person knowingly or recklessly shields someone from detection. Legal experts will decide whether the actions here meet that threshold, but the statute is clear about the kinds of conduct that can trigger enforcement.

Communism wrapped in polite language - Susan Rice

Trump Fires Back at Susan Rice After She Threatened Netflix and Every Company That Worked With Him

Obama's people never really went away.

They burrowed into law firms, university boards, corporate boardrooms, and streaming giants – and now one of Barack Obama's most loyal lieutenants just told every company in America exactly what Democrats plan to do the moment they get power back.

Susan Rice went on Preet Bharara's podcast last Thursday and dropped a threat so naked that even Trump couldn't ignore it. Susan Rice Promises an "Accountability Agenda" — and Subpoenas

Rice didn't hide it.

"Whether you're a law firm, whether you're a university, whether you're a media entity, whether you're a big corporation, whether you're big tech," she said, "there will be an accountability agenda."

Companies had better start preserving their documents, she warned. Subpoenas are coming. And this wouldn't be "forgive and forget."

What's the crime that earned a spot on Rice's list? Working with the duly elected President of the United States.

Complying with legal executive orders. Settling lawsuits to protect shareholders. Showing up at the White House when the president called. These are the offenses that will trigger Rice's promised investigations.

Jack Smith spent three years, millions of taxpayer dollars, and the full weight of Merrick Garland's Justice Department chasing Donald Trump.

Yesterday federal Judge Aileen Cannon pulled the curtain on all of it.

Judge Aileen Cannon just permanently blocked the release of Volume II of Jack Smith's classified documents report that was unconstitutional – and the left's years-long campaign to weaponize that investigation against Trump is officially finished.

The ruling bars the Justice Department from "releasing, distributing, conveying, or sharing with anyone outside the Department of Justice any information or conclusions in Volume II or in drafts thereof."

Trump clearing our embassy in Beirut, Lebanon

Trump Just Cleared the Beirut Embassy and Iran Has One Week to Figure Out Why

On October 23, 1983, Iran directed Hezbollah to detonate a truck packed with 12,000 pounds of explosives into the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut – killing 241 Americans in the deadliest single day for Marines since Iwo Jima.

The NSA had intercepted Tehran's order nearly a month earlier – the cable described as "24-karat proof" – and the warning got buried in bureaucracy until it was too late.

The Trump administration ordered the evacuation of non-emergency personnel from the U.S. Embassy in Beirut, and unlike 1983, nobody in Washington is sleeping at the wheel.

Trump's Iran Nuclear Deal Deadline Expires This Week. The State Department confirmed the evacuation Monday, citing "the security environment" without elaborating – but the backdrop is no mystery.

President Trump has assembled the largest American military force in the Middle East since the 2003 invasion of Iraq: two aircraft carrier strike groups, more than a dozen warships, over 200 warplanes, submarines, and advanced missile defense systems all now positioned around Iran.

Protecting American Citizens - The Full Speech

Trump hit a home run on many topics during the State of the Union 2026 speech.

His approval ratings shot up after the speech, while support levels for Democrats plummeted in the reaction polls. There is a strong chance the Democrats just lost the 2026 elections last night.

The defining issue and moment during the speech was when President Trump said...

"One of the great things about the State of the Union, is how it gives Americans the chance to see clearly what their representatives really believe. So tonight I'm inviting every legislator to join with my administration in reaffirming a fundamental principle. If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support.

THE FIRST DUTY OF THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT IS TO PROTECT AMERICAN CITIZENS, NOT ILLEGAL ALIENS!"The crowd roared, and Republicans gave a loud standing ovation for two minutes while Democratic members of Congress remain seated with cold, baleful glares. [ALIPAC]

Trump signals Iran Decision

More Than 60 US Warplanes Mass at Jordan Base as Trump Signals Iran Decision Within Days

More than 60 attack aircraft were spotted on satellite imagery on Friday at Muwaffaq Salti, a US base in Jordan, roughly triple the number of jets normally stationed there. At least another 68 cargo planes have landed at the base since Sunday.

The buildup is the clearest signal yet that the military option against Iran is not hypothetical.

President Trump told reporters Friday he was considering military action to pressure Iranian officials to negotiate the terms of the country's nuclear program.

"You're going to be finding out over the next, maybe, 10 days."

He later extended the maximum timeline to 15 days. Speaking at the inaugural meeting of the Board of Peace, Trump said the US would "maybe" make a deal with Iran. The word carried the weight of a condition, not a commitment.

The difference between a bluff and a strategy is whether you move assets. Sixty-plus attack aircraft and 68 cargo planes are not a bluff. They are logistics. They are pre-positioning. They are the kind of commitment that changes the calculation in Tehran.

Last night’s State of the Union was not simply another annual address; it felt like a referendum on the country’s direction and on President Donald Trump himself.

From the moment he entered the chamber to a roaring ovation from Republicans and a conspicuous stillness from Democrats, the contrast was unmistakable.

Trump delivered his remarks with confidence, ticking through economic gains, border enforcement, military strength, and domestic renewal as evidence of what he framed as a national comeback.

Supporters saw vindication. Critics saw provocation. But no one watching could deny the energy in the room—or the divide it exposed.

Last night proved something fundamental. Trump is not finished. And neither is America. [Roger Stone] And it was the best State of the Union ever!

U.S. Trade Rep Exposes What the Supreme Court Actually Gave Trump

Trump’s Trade Chief Stopped ABC Cold With Five Words That Ended the Interview

ABC's Martha Raddatz thought she had him.

She'd spent the entire interview trying to convince America that the Supreme Court's tariff ruling was a catastrophic defeat for Donald Trump – that the president had been humiliated, his trade agenda shattered, his economic legacy in ruins.

Then Jamieson Greer, U.S. Trade Representative, said five words that made her whole argument collapse: "more powerful than a tariff."

The media spent 72 hours celebrating the Supreme Court's 6-3 decision in Learning Resources v. Trump as the death blow to Trump's trade agenda. What they buried: Trump's team had a Plan B ready before the ink dried.

Within hours of the February 20 ruling, Trump signed an executive order under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 – a separate tariff authority with no successful legal challenge on record.

The 15 percent global tariff went live February 24.

By Sunday morning, Greer was on ABC explaining the legal logic that the mainstream media refused to report.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has made no secret of his pro-Islam agenda points.

In the few weeks he's been in office, Muslim calls to prayer now are being broadcast onto public streets there, and one of his prominent supporters demanded that the city ban dogs inside homes, as Muslims consider dogs unclean.

Now Mamdani has pulled back the curtain of moderation that may have concealed his goals before now: He's attended a mosque where the imam prayed for the return of the Islamic mahdi so that infidels could be beheaded.

China and Democrats against our new EPA emissions rule

EPA Repeals Biden-Era Power Plant Emissions Rule as China and Senate Democrats Both Push to Keep It

The Environmental Protection Agency announced Friday that it is repealing Biden-era amendments to the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards, rolling back 2024 regulations that the Trump administration argues would have strangled America's coal sector. The repeal will save an estimated $670 million.

The earlier MATS rules, including the original 2012 rule and the 2020 Trump EPA rule that reaffirmed it, will remain in place. EPA Deputy Administrator David Fotouhi said in a statement that those existing standards are "fully protective of human health risks."

What makes this story remarkable isn't the policy itself. It's who lined up against it.

According to the Daily Caller, on Aug. 11, 2025, the People's Republic of China submitted a public comment to the EPA opposing the repeal. Beijing's government told American regulators, in writing, that it wanted the Biden-era restrictions kept in place.

When Beijing objects to a deregulatory action that benefits American energy producers, the policy is probably working.

State of the Union

Who Missed the State of the Union?

The Capitol was full. The guests were packed in. Cabinet members, lawmakers, generals, Supreme Court justices, veterans and even the U.S. Men’s hockey team filled the chamber for President Donald Trump’s 2026 State of the Union address.

One Cabinet member was not there. Secretary of Veterans Affairs Doug Collins stayed away.

That wasn’t an accident. Collins was named the White House’s designated survivor. He spent the night at a secure, undisclosed location. The move kept the chain of command intact if the unthinkable happened.

Designated survivor is simple and serious. One person in the presidential line of succession sits out big gatherings. If a catastrophe wipes out leadership, someone remains to lead the executive branch. The practice dates back to the Cold War, when planners worried an attack could take out the Capitol.

Expect more of the same at future addresses. Keep one person ready, away from the crowd. It’s small, easy, and smart.

For now, Secretary Collins stayed ready. The rest of the country got the speech. The continuity plan quietly did its job. [The Patriot Chronicles]

I stayed up for the entire speech which was the greatest. Hakeem Jeffries didn't look happy the entire night--not too many Democrats did. Their hands must be sore from sitting on them all night.

"But if anyone believes that means peace has arrived in Mexico, they’re reading headlines instead of history. Mexico is descending deeper into cartel barbarism, and anyone pretending otherwise is lying to the American people.

The Jalisco New Generation Cartel didn’t evaporate with one body. Within hours of his death, highways burned, cities locked down, and resort corridors once marketed as “safe” became battleground optics.

This isn’t isolated violence. It’s organized retaliation. The cartels operate as parallel governments with revenue streams rivaling multinational corporations. Killing a kingpin doesn’t end the war. It rearranges it. And Americans are no longer safely outside the blast zone." [Roger Stone]

Trump's state of the Union address tonight

The State of the Union address

President Donald Trump will address both chambers of Congress today in what will be his first State of the Union since beginning his second term.

Scheduled for 9 p.m., the speech will mark Trump’s second address to Congress since he reclaimed the White House, coming roughly one year after his March 4, 2025, address to a joint session.

Unlike that speech, the State of the Union address is mandated by the U.S. Constitution. Presidents have historically used the occasion to speak on the top issues of the day, their appraisal of the state of the United States, their plans for the future, and legislative requests.

The address, on the year of the United States’ 250th anniversary, comes as the Department of Homeland Security remains shut down, reflecting a larger national debate over the administration’s immigration enforcement crackdown. Abroad, the Trump administration’s tariffs, diplomacy, and military pressure are driving epochal shifts on every continent.

Where to Watch: The State of the Union address will be easily accessible through a variety of platforms. Like all other official activities on the floor of Congress, the address will be streamed on C-SPAN. Viewers can also watch the speech on NTD, The Epoch Times’ sister media outlet, which will stream the address live online in addition to cable and satellite feeds. NTD’s coverage begins at 6 p.m. ET.

Democrats’ Boycott: A growing list of Democrats has announced plans to skip the event entirely this year in favor of an event dubbed a “People’s State of the Union.”

Democrats’ Response: This year, Democrats’ response will be delivered by Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger.

It's the Economy, Stupid

Bill Clinton won on that observation!

Susie Wiles Packed a Room With Cabinet Secretaries and What She Told Them Should Have Democrats Terrified

Biden spent three years swearing the economy was great and voters were just too dumb to see it.

That message bombed so spectacularly that Democrats lost the White House, the Senate, and any claim to understanding how normal Americans live.

Now Trump's team just held a meeting that proves they learned exactly the right lesson – and what came out of that room five days before the State of the Union should keep Chuck Schumer up at night.

The economy is THE issue. Not immigration. Not foreign policy. Not Epstein. Not January 6. The economy.

Tonight President Trump stands before a joint session of Congress for his first official 2026 State of the Union of his second term. Trump walks in with unified Cabinet, tested economic messaging, and 25 slides of voter data behind him. Democrats are boycotting rather than answering.

That's not a resistance strategy – that's a forfeit.

Maria Corina Machado

Nobel Prize Winner Just Compared Trump To This One Moment Reagan Never Achieved

She dedicted her Peace Prize to Donald Trump

"This is historic," Machado said. "This happens once in a lifetime. This will be remembered for generations to come." Maria Corina Machado, an industrial engineer with a Masters Degree in finance, isn't a politician in the American sense – she's someone who has been hunted, jailed, and stripped of her political rights by Nicolas Maduro's regime for the crime of telling Venezuelans the truth.

She's talking about the collapse of Maduro's grip on Venezuela – a collapse she says Trump made possible.

"For the first time in history," Machado said, "we will have the Americas free of communism and dictatorship."

While the American media spent years lecturing you about Trump's foreign policy incompetence, Trump's team was methodically strangling the Maduro regime with sanctions and diplomatic isolation – and then, on January 3rd, Trump's special forces went into Caracas and physically pulled Maduro out of his bed.

Machado said it directly – once Venezuela falls to democracy, Cuba follows. Nicaragua follows.

Gavin

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Racist) basically told a group of black voters in Georgia, Vote for me. I’m stupid just like you!

While out promoting his autobiography and his likely 2028 presidential campaign, Newsom started out with the usual-usual pandering Democrats employ with black voters. Then it quickly devolved into the kind of racist condescension we’ve seen from modern-day Democrats, reaching back to when they created the Jim Crow South.

This is really something…

I’m not trying to impress you. I’m just trying to impress upon you I’m like you. I’m no better than you. I’m a 960 SAT guy. And I’m not trying to offend anyone; trying to act all there if you got 940. But literally a 960 SAT guy. You’ve never seen me read a speech because I cannot read a speech. Maybe I’m in the wrong business to be in.

The highest possible SAT score is 1600, and here Newsom is slowing his speech, talking in bite-sized pieces, and saying to black voters, I’m just like you. I had a lousy SAT score, and I have trouble reading.

That’s what he honestly thinks of black people. That’s what he sees when he sees black people… He sees a dumb and uneducated underclass.

Unbelievable… Actually, it’s not if you know anything about the modern Democrat Party.

Man arrested for House fire and burning dog

Lake Worth Beach man accused of starting house fire with gasoline, burning roommate’s dog

This is the garbage living in our city

A roommate stomped out flames twice Sunday after deputies say a man doused their home in gasoline, reignited the fire, and burned a dog’s stomach.

Deputies with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office responded to a home at 9:30 p.m. on Sunday for reports of a man attempting to light a fire.

Upon arrival, deputies say they spoke with a man who said his roommate, late identified as 31-year-old Schnider Annoual, had poured gasoline on the bottom floor of the house and set it on fire.

Law enforcement then made contact with Annoual at the front door, where an "overbearing odor" of gasoline was emitting from the home and Annoual's body.

California Unemployment DEBT/Fraud of $21 BILLION DOLLARS

Labor Department sends a strike team to California over a $21 billion unemployment debt and rampant fraud

The Labor Department has deployed a specialized "strike team" to California to investigate improper payments and alleged fraud riddling the state's unemployment insurance program, a system now $21 billion in debt to the federal government and hemorrhaging taxpayer money at a pace that would make even Sacramento blush.

Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer announced the move after writing a letter to California's Employment Development Department, citing increasing improper payment rates, insufficient timeliness, data accuracy and quality concerns, and serious questions about participants' eligibility and the use of taxpayer funds.

The strike team will include Labor Department specialists drawn from national and regional offices. Chavez-DeRemer did not mince words:

"Financial issues and potential fraud in California's unemployment insurance program will be fully examined. The previous administration turned a blind eye toward failing Labor programs. This ends now."

In media and legal battles, Luthmann applies Patton’s battlefield clarity to the information war at home.

Patton had no patience for the rulebook gymnastics of people like Hanks, Castorina, Love, Noshirvan, Hales, the McMahons, Christopher Ambrose, and their orbiters.

This applies to Islamists pushing Sharia, entrenched collectivists, ideological wokesters, Libtards, and “Shit Leftists” (as Argentine President Javier Milei puts it).

The Coca-Cola DEI Lawsuit That Has Every Corporate HR Department Nervous

Trump’s EEOC Just Sued Coca-Cola After They Sent 250 Women to a Casino and Left Every Man Behind

Bud Light handed a can of beer to Dylan Mulvaney and watched $27 billion evaporate in six months.

Corporate America learned nothing.

Now Trump's federal civil rights commission just handed a Coca-Cola distributor its own reckoning – and this one comes with a federal lawsuit, a jury trial, and the full weight of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Coca-Cola Beverages Northeast – a producer and distributor serving New England and upstate New York – quietly organized a two-day networking trip to Mohegan Sun Casino and Resort in Connecticut in September 2024.

Two hundred and fifty employees were privately invited. Every single one of them was a woman. The men at the company found out they weren't invited, weren't compensated, and weren't considered.

The women who attended got their hotel, their meals, their networking opportunities with senior executives – including Jennifer Mann, President of Coca-Cola North America – and their full salary, without burning a single vacation day.

The men got nothing but the bill. (Aren't men usually stuck with the bill? 😉)

Big Tech's Billion-Dollar Loophole

Trump Just Told Peter Navarro to Make Meta Pay for Something It Quietly Shifted Onto Your Bill

Your electricity bill went up again last month.

And while you were opening that envelope, Meta – a company worth $1.6 trillion – was quietly letting you cover one cost of powering it all.

Peter Navarro just went on Fox News and said the White House is done letting that happen – and what he described is the kind of accountability Big Tech hasn't faced in decades.

Here's how the loophole works:

• When Meta or Google or Microsoft builds a massive data center – a building that consumes as much electricity as a small city – utilities have to build new power lines, new transformers, and new generating capacity to feed it.
• Under rules designed a century ago for a very different world, those infrastructure costs get spread across every ratepayer in the region.
• That means you.
• Not Meta.
• Not Google.
• You.

And the numbers aren't small.

Minnesota Fraud Tab: $18 Billion Out the Door, $203 Million Back to You

Walz and Frey Just Sent American Taxpayers a $203 Million Bill for the Mess Minnesota Created

ICE spent months cleaning up a state that allowed $18 billion in fraud to walk out the door to Somalia.

Now the men who let it happen want you to pay for their feelings.

Tim Walz and Jacob Frey – two loser Democrats under active federal criminal investigation – just demanded the federal government reimburse them for the cost of Operation Metro Surge, the largest immigration enforcement deployment in American history.

Frey put his city's tab at $203 million – $47 million in "lost wages" for people too afraid to leave home, $81 million in small business losses, and $4.7 million from hotel cancellations.

Walz went further, calling on Congress to cover costs and telling reporters the federal government "needs to pay for what they broke here." "You don't get to break things and then just leave without doing something about it," he said.

Here's the number neither man mentioned: $18 billion.

Democrats count non-citizens for House seat apportionment

They owe us 18 seats

That's right, true to form and keeping on-brand, the Democrats have been caught stealing again.

More specifically, they have robbed Republicans of 18 seats in the United States House of Representatives by counting non-citizens in the U.S. Census.

This is expressly why Joe Biden, Barack Obama (the man behind the curtain making the Corpse of Biden dance) engineered the illegal entry of 12-20 million illegal aliens in his disastrous four-year run.

Federal law currently bases House seat apportionment on total population instead of citizenship, meaning illegal aliens and other non-citizens are included in the numbers used to allocate seats and Electoral College votes.

This system has shifted dozens of House seats over time, redistributing political power toward states with larger non-citizen populations. Republican legislators have warned that counting illegals “destroys equal representation” and gives disproportionate influence to states that give them "sanctuary." But congress has done nothing to fix it.

The right to representation belongs to American citizens, not foreign nationals who have no legal right to vote.

Until Congress ends this insanity and ensures only citizens are counted for purposes of representation, the voice of every lawful American voter will remain muted by a system that rewards illegal presence and effectively cancels out citizenship. [Strictly Speaking]

It's no wonder that many blue states want the Popular Vote law that will guarantee the Presidency to the candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states and the District of Columbia...California, New York and states where most illegals are, will control our country and its policies.

The Affordability Crisis

Democrats "affordability" Crisis

Mamdani ran on affordability. He told New Yorkers he would make the city work for working people.

His solution to that promise is a 9.5 percent property tax hike that will land squarely on landlords, who will pass it directly to renters, and a wealth tax scheme designed to chase out the very tax base that funds the city's services.

This is the progressive governance feedback loop in its purest form:

• Spend beyond your means.
• Blame the previous administration.
• Propose taxes that punish productivity and reward government expansion.
• Watch the tax base flee (to Florida).
• Blame the fleeing tax base for the revenue shortfall.
• Repeat.

California has run this cycle for years. Illinois knows it well. New York City, under Mamdani, appears eager to sprint through it.

Crime City of Lake Worth Beach

Lake Worth Beach, FL, experiences a mix of crime levels, with a 2026 overall B+ grade in the 33460 zip code, indicating average crime levels for the region.

While some areas like Parrot Cove have very low crime (Grade A), neighborhoods like Pineapple Beach (Grade C) and Royal Poinciana (Grade C+) see higher, above-average crime, according to DoorProfit.

Lake Worth Beach has a violent crime rate of approximately 6.8 per 1,000 residents and a total crime rate of 31.52 per 1,000 residents. While some, like this source from Nextdoor, report a lower overall rate than the national average, others note that crimes like robbery and theft are above average in specific neighborhoods, with rates such as 359.5 robberies and 2,439.3 thefts per 100,000 residents.

"The Department of Veterans Affairs announced a major new step to protect Veterans' Second Amendment rights. Effective immediately, VA will not report Veterans to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's National Instant Criminal Background Check System as 'prohibited persons' only because they need help from a fiduciary in managing their VA benefits."

Read that carefully. The prior policy treated a veteran who needed someone to help manage benefit payments the same way the federal government treats convicted felons and the adjudicated mentally ill. The veteran didn't commit a crime. The veteran wasn't found by a court to be a danger. The veteran asked for help writing checks.

The practice had been in place for decades. A veteran could lose a limb, suffer a traumatic brain injury, or return home with PTSD, and the moment the VA appointed a fiduciary to help manage that veteran's benefits, the government quietly added a name to the same database used to stop felons from buying guns.

No law was passed with their names on it. A bureaucratic process simply treated financial assistance as evidence of mental deficiency, and NICS did the rest. Pam Bondi stopped it. [VA News]

The top destructive lie by Democrats --the border is secure

ESPN’s Smith Says Trump Was Right to Secure Border

Calls Out Biden for Lying About Crisis

For years, conservatives were warning anyone who would listen about the catastrophe unfolding at our southern border. For years, the mainstream media and Democratic politicians dismissed them as xenophobes and fear-mongers.

Nothing to see here, they insisted. The border is secure said Biden and Biden's Border Czar, Kamala. Go back to sleep, America.

Funny how things change. Now, one of the most recognizable personalities in sports media is saying something that might make his ESPN colleagues choke on their lattes. And what he’s admitting should make every American who was gaslit about this crisis feel more than a little vindicated.

From Breitbart:
“The borders needed to be closed. [Trump] was right to do that, but only because Biden opened them. Had Biden followed Barack Obama’s method and his plan, and what he did in deporting even more people than Trump did in his first term, you wouldn’t hear me saying that.

“But when you let anywhere from 12 to 15 million people cross the border illegally, swearing in our face, spitting in our face, while telling us it’s raining, figuratively speaking, by telling us there was no border crisis when clearly there was, emergency efforts were necessary.”

Stephen A. Smith is a man who has spent decades swimming in the mainstream media current just declared that President Trump was correct to secure the border. He also accused the Biden administration of flat-out lying to the American people about the mess they created.

Woman arrested by ICE - Overstayed her Visa by 10 years

On 18 March, 2025, Lashar Smith was apprehended by ICE agents at Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood International Airport for staying in the U. S. beyond her visa expiration date by more than ten years.

She was subsequently transferred to a detention facility in Baker County, Florida, and faced deportation proceedings under U.S. immigration law. Her partner, James Walkine, in a statement to the media, said that they were attempting to adjust her status through legal channels, but the process was hindered by bureaucratic delays.

I couldn't find any mainstream news sources which provide confirmation of the deportation outcome beyond the initial detention. Without official records (which for privacy reasons is not available to the public in individual immigration cases like this one), the facts at hand suggest that she might have been deported back in 2025. However, this is not confirmed.

As it turns out, her partner was also here illegally staying here beyond his Visa expiration date.

10% Global Tariff imposed on all countries

Trump Signs Order Imposing 10 Percent Global Tariff

President Donald Trump announced Friday that he has signed an executive order imposing a 10% global tariff on all countries, saying the measure will take effect "almost immediately."

Posting on Truth Social, Trump said it was his "Great Honor" to sign the order from the Oval Office, describing it as a "Global 10% Tariff on all Countries."

The move comes just hours after the Supreme Court struck down his earlier attempt to implement tariffs under emergency authorities.

In a second post, Trump sharply criticized the justices who ruled against his prior tariff plan.

"Those members of the Supreme Court who voted against our very acceptable and proper method of TARIFFS should be ashamed of themselves," he wrote. "Their decision was ridiculous but, now the adjustment process begins, and we will do everything possible to take in even more money than we were taking in before!"

Kavanaugh's Dissent: A Defense of Presidential Power

S

Supreme courts' ruling on tariffs--6/3

But the story doesn't end with the majority's gavel. A powerful counterargument roared from the minority. Justice Kavanaugh didn't just disagree; he demolished the majority's reasoning with precision. In his view, the tariffs align perfectly with statutory text, history, and precedent.

He argued that Trump acted within his authority under the 1977 law to regulate importation, a power historically tied to tools like quotas, embargoes, and, yes, tariffs.

Statutory text, history, and precedent demonstrate that the answer is clearly yes: Like quotas and embargoes, tariffs are a traditional and common tool to regulate importation.

Kavanaugh went further, suggesting this ruling won't be the final word. He noted that presidents could still impose similar tariffs under other laws, such as the Trade Act of 1974. His dissent framed the issue as a matter for voters and lawmakers, not judges, to wrestle with.

The tariffs at issue here may or may not be wise policy, but as a matter of text, history, and precedent, they are clearly lawful, it was said.

Closing his argument, Kavanaugh stood firm with a respectful but pointed conclusion: "I respectfully dissent." His words echo a broader conservative frustration with judicial overreach into policy domains.

Progressive criminal justice experiments were sold as compassion. In practice, many Americans see something else: collapsing clearance rates, repeat offenders cycling through the system, and victims left wondering where accountability went.

In several major cities, murder solve rates hover near coin-flip territory. Cash bail reforms, sentencing reductions, and overwhelmed courts have reshaped outcomes in ways critics argue prioritize ideology over deterrence.

The result, they say, is a two-track system — one lenient toward violent offenders, another aggressive toward political dissidents. Whether or not it is overstated, public confidence in equal enforcement of the law is undeniably eroding.

Defund the police--Half of all murders are not solved. If you kill someone, flip a coin if you will even get identified and arrested.

Police departments are overwhelmed and understaffed. They will have difficulty gathering evidence to present a case against you. Most of them are worried about hurting you because they could get thrown in prison for it.

Catch and release with no cash bail or bail funds--If you are somehow arrested, don’t worry. Criminal justice reforms will have you back on the streets in no time.

Many blue states and cities have eliminated cash bail. For jurisdictions that still have bail, Democrat dark money slush funds will post it for you. Then your crime spree on innocent civilians can continue. Felonies are routinely downgraded to misdemeanors and misdemeanors are almost never caught. [Luthmann]

Voter ID makes sense

But anything that makes sense is difficult to pass these days.

McConnell Blocks SAVE Act — What Happened?

What happened on the Senate floor--

Senator Mitch McConnell declined to bring the SAVE Act up for a Senate vote. The bill would have required voters to show an ID when voting, a change supported by large majorities of Americans. Conservative lawmakers and many grassroots activists are angry because the measure never got a fair vote.

Critics say McConnell and his team quietly kept the bill off the calendar instead of letting senators cast their ballots and let the public see where everyone stood.

Republican voters and several House members quickly criticized McConnell for blocking the bill. They say the move protects the old guard and big donors rather than voters.

Rep. Tim Burchett and other conservatives pushed back hard, saying voters deserve election reforms that build confidence in the system. These reactions came fast and loud on social media and at town halls, where activists demanded accountability.

Every American knows the drill. You show ID to board a plane, buy a beer, pick up a prescription, or walk into a federal building. Try cashing a check without one. Good luck. Try starting a new job without proving who you are—your HR department will show you the door before you find your desk.

These requirements exist because identity verification matters. Nobody seriously argues otherwise.

Yet when it comes to voting—the very foundation of our constitutional republic—suddenly Democrats discover that proving you are who you say you are constitutes an unconscionable burden. Funny how that works.

The Senate is currently locked in battle over the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act. The legislation would require photo ID to vote in federal elections and proof of citizenship to register.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has branded this common-sense measure “Jim Crow 2.0,” dragging out the darkest chapter of American segregation to describe a bill that simply asks voters to do what they already do at the DMV.

The comparison isn’t just wrong. It’s an insult to the Americans who actually suffered under Jim Crow laws.

Criminals are stealing $115 million an hour from American taxpayers

Expert Told Congress the Government Loses $115 Million Every Hour

And Says the Real Number Is Worse Than That

You already knew the Biden years were a disaster for the federal budget.

Now a fraud expert just testified before Congress with a number so big it makes every other Washington scandal look like a rounding error. He told senators the government is bleeding $1 trillion a year – and then turned around and said that figure is probably too low.

Haywood Talcove isn't a politician or a pundit. He's the CEO of LexisNexis Risk Solutions Government – the man who works with more than 9,000 federal, state and local agencies to stop fraud before it happens. He's been doing this for two decades.

When he sits down in front of Congress, members listen. At Senator Josh Hawley's Homeland Security Subcommittee, Talcove put a number on it: criminals are stealing $115 million every single hour from American taxpayers – roughly $1 trillion a year, nearly 14 percent of the entire federal budget.

Hawley asked him where that money actually goes.

Talcove's answer was blunt: "It goes to terrorism, it goes to child trafficking, it goes to drugs – and then it's used to purchase luxury items, cars, purses, homes. That's all funded by people like me that pay taxes."

In the early 2026 legislative session, Democrats have introduced dozens of proposed tax increases, targeting everything from personal income to services as routine as dog grooming. If enacted, these measures would add new financial pressures on families already grappling with the effects of inflation.

Mamdani promised transformative change. In a way, that’s true. He’s delivering chaos. And we can't forget crazy California and other states and cities across our country.

FBI Documents Reveal Trump Was Reportedly Among First to Contact Police About Epstein

Donald Trump is he onw ho blew the whistle on Jeffrey Epstein

The media spent years linking Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein. Now newly unsealed documents just blew that narrative to pieces.

And the files prove Trump was the one who turned Epstein in to authorities. Newly released FBI documents show President Trump called Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter in July 2006 to blow the whistle on Jeffrey Epstein.

The FBI interview summary from 2019 confirms what conservatives suspected all along. Trump told Reiter "thank goodness you're stopping him, everyone has known he's been doing this."

The call came right after the police investigation into Epstein became public. Trump didn't mince words about what he knew. "Trump told him people in New York knew Epstein was disgusting," the FBI report states.

He specifically warned Reiter about Ghislaine Maxwell, calling her Epstein's "operative" and telling police "she is evil and to focus on her." Trump revealed he'd already kicked Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago for his predatory behavior.

The documents show Trump "was one of the very first people to call when people found out that they were investigating Epstein."

The Supreme Court may have clipped one branch of President Trump’s tariff authority, but it did not uproot the tree.

In Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump, the justices ruled that IEEPA cannot be used as a shortcut to impose tariffs overnight.

That is a procedural slowdown, not a policy surrender. The Court did not strike down Section 232, Section 301, Section 122, or any of the trade statutes that presidents have used for decades.

The headlines screamed “limits.” The reality is that leverage remains. Trump still has tools, timelines, and negotiating power—just routed through different statutory lanes.

Marxist Leftists, the big threat to our country

Marxist Leftists: The Real "Threat to Our Democracy"

"America is a Constitutional Republic; however, the Marxist leftists are doing everything they can to undermine and fundamentally transform our beloved Republic.

Allowing individuals who have violated Title 18 USC 1325 and have entered our country without authorization to have access to our electoral system, the bedrock of our representative democracy, is a threat.

As well, to count these same illegal immigrants as part of our census that determines our representative democracy is unconscionable and dangerous. There is only one reason for this: power.

Another example of how the Marxist leftists are threats to our democratic processes is found with the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC). This is a conglomeration of leftist states, and the District of Columbia, who have stated that regardless of who wins their States’ popular vote, they will only support, with electors, the presidential candidate who wins the national popular vote.

The NPVIC was introduced in 2006, and as of now, there are 17 states, along with the District of Columbia, that are signatories.

School kids ditch Class for Commie Protest on President's Day

Principal stuns students who walked out for anti-ICE protest

'If you stay out here, we will get your names, you will be suspended, OK? That is your option at this point'

A principal at Wilson High School in Spring Township, Pennsylvania, ordered students who walked out of class to protest Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to return to class.

"We go back to class and we're good. If you stay out here, we will get your names, you will be suspended, OK? That is your option at this point because you are operating outside the bounds of what was granted," Weber told the students.

"That event was canceled. You left school without permission. Your rights do not supersede the school. So if you understand that, that is your option."

Students ditch class for a commie protest on President's Day and the principal drops the hammer: “Back to class or suspended.”

That’s exactly how any normal school handles little Red Guard rioters.

If your district lets them run wild, (Palm Beach County did) you’re in enemy territory--pull your kids out immediately.
