President Trump lights up this foreign leader for a stunning act of betrayal

0

Trump is taking the America First agenda to the world stage. And no one is strong enough to stop him.

Now President Trump lit up this foreign leader for a stunning act of betrayal.

Trump Unleashes Fury on Putin Over Ukraine Stalemate

For the first time, President Trump has openly slammed Russian President Vladimir Putin, admitting he’s “very angry” and “pissed off” as efforts to halt the war in Ukraine hit a wall. This sharp pivot comes as Trump works to broker peace, marking a dramatic shift from his earlier praise of the Kremlin leader.

In a candid phone interview with NBC News on Sunday, Trump vented his frustration over stalled cease-fire talks.

His ire flared after Moscow tacked on new demands to a U.S.-backed plan aimed at curbing attacks in the Black Sea and on energy infrastructure—a move that’s clearly tested the American president’s patience.

Tariffs Loom as Trump Blasts Putin’s Power Play

Trump’s anger zeroed in on a report that Putin demanded a transitional government in Ukraine to oust President Volodymyr Zelensky, even suggesting Ukraine’s generals take matters into their own hands, per the AFP.

Once a cheerleader for Putin’s “genius,” Trump—who previously blamed Ukraine for Russia’s 2022 invasion—now seems fed up.

“If Russia and I are unable to make a deal on stopping the bloodshed in Ukraine, and if I think it was Russia’s fault — which it might not be — but if I think it was Russia’s fault, I am going to put secondary tariffs on oil, on all oil coming out of Russia,” Trump declared to NBC.

He doubled down: “That would be that if you buy oil from Russia, you can’t do business in the United States. There will be a 25% tariff on all oil, a 25- to 50-point tariff on all oil.” He gave Putin a one-month deadline to strike a cease-fire deal or face the economic squeeze.

Despite his past coziness with Moscow’s narrative, Trump also rebuked Putin’s attacks on Zelensky, saying they were “not going in the right location.” It’s the first time he’s admitted Putin might be dragging his feet on ending the conflict.

A Fragile Rapport and Rising Tensions

Still, Trump insisted he’s got a “very good relationship” with Putin, suggesting his fury could fade if the Russian leader “does the right thing.” The two are slated to talk again this week, with Trump eager to nudge the cease-fire forward, he told NBC.

The Trump administration is racing to deliver on his campaign vow to end the war. Last week, the U.S. notched two cease-fire wins to shield energy grids and the Black Sea trade route.

But Moscow shattered both pacts within hours, then piled on fresh conditions—like demanding Europe ease sanctions on Russian firms—leaving the deals in tatters.

Across the aisle, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) fired a shot at Trump, accusing him of chasing an “illusory peace” with Putin. “Bowing to Moscow’s demands only shreds America’s credibility, leaves Ukraine under threat, weakens our alliances and emboldens our enemies,” McConnell warned.

Meanwhile, Baltic defense leaders sounded their own alarm. Estonia’s Defence Minister Hanno Pevkur told the Financial Times, “We all understand that when the war in Ukraine will be stopped, Russia will redistribute its forces very quickly.”

He added, “That means also the threat level will increase significantly very quickly,” signaling fears that a pause could let Russia regroup to menace NATO allies like Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.

J.D. Vance ignites media firestorm after making a bold statement abroad

America First is the agenda. And the Trump-Vance team are taking it seriously.

Now J.D. Vance ignited a media firestorm after making a bold statement abroad.

Vice President J.D. Vance landed at Pituffik Space Base in Greenland on Friday, joined by a crew of top U.S. officials, to spotlight the growing push for “Arctic security” under American leadership.

The trip, clocking in at just under six hours, brought him face-to-face with U.S. Space Force Guardians over lunch.

“It’s cold as [expletive] here. Nobody told me,” Vance quipped, sparking chuckles from the room.

But the laughs quickly gave way to a sharper tone as he took aim at Denmark, calling it a lackluster caretaker of Greenland—an island of 50,000 people, vast glaciers, and valuable rare earth minerals.

Its spot in the Arctic also makes it a hot ticket as China and Russia flex their muscles in the region.

“The president is really interested in Arctic security, as you all know, and it’s only going to get bigger over the coming decades,” Vance told the Guardians, echoing a key White House priority.

Traveling with him were his wife, Usha Vance, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, Energy Secretary Chris Wright, Sen. Mike Lee of Utah, and Julia Nesheiwat, Waltz’s wife and a former Homeland Security Advisor.

The group kept things low-key after Greenland and Danish officials balked at Usha’s original plan to check out a local dog sled race.

Instead, they hunkered down at the U.S.-run base for troop meet-and-greets and an Arctic security briefing.

“I didn’t want her to have all that fun by herself,” Vance said in a lighthearted video about the visit.

Greenland’s Prime Minister Mute B. Egede has been vocal, urging allies to counter Trump’s bold talk of taking over the island.

Meanwhile, Russia’s Vladimir Putin weighed in Thursday from above the Arctic Circle, warning against brushing off Trump’s Greenland ambitions as hot air.

“It is a profound mistake to treat it as some preposterous talk by the new U.S. administration. Nothing of the sort,” Putin said.

He pointed out that America’s interest in Greenland stretches back to the 1860s. “The United States has serious plans regarding Greenland,” Putin added.

“These plans have long historical roots, as I have just mentioned, and it is obvious that the United States will continue to consistently advance its geo-strategic, military-political and economic interests in the Arctic.”

For Vance and his team, the Greenland stop was all about doubling down on that U.S. presence—keeping the Arctic in America’s orbit amid rising stakes and a chilly global chess game.

Trump drops the hammer on a Democrat pet project in the most stunning way imaginable

President Trump is on a warpath. No one is going to stop him.

Now Trump dropped the hammer on a Democrat pet project in the most stunning way imaginable.

The Trump administration has set its sights on pausing $27.5 million in Title X family-planning grants, targeting organizations like Planned Parenthood.

The move, reported by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) on Tuesday, stems from a push to investigate whether these taxpayer dollars have been funneled into diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives.

An agency spokesman from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) provided the details, according to the report.

The WSJ noted that Planned Parenthood affiliates are among the groups facing the freeze. “Altogether, the groups were set to get a total of about $120 million this year,” the report stated, with around $20 million earmarked for Planned Parenthood facilities across roughly a dozen states.

HHS, under Trump’s leadership, has consistently reflected a pro-life stance. Just last week, on March 21, the agency marked World Down Syndrome Day with a post on X: “HHS celebrate[s] the incredible children and adults with Down syndrome and the families who love and support them.”

The statement continued, “Every life is precious, full of promise, and worthy of protection. HHS is committed to supporting these families and ensuring easy access to the care and resources they deserve.”

Following the investigation, HHS could either cancel the grants entirely or redirect the funds elsewhere, the WSJ observed. This aligns with broader efforts from President Donald Trump, who has signed multiple executive orders to roll back DEI policies across federal agencies.

Rep. Chris Smith, R-NJ, co-chair of the Congressional Pro-Life Caucus, welcomed the administration’s scrutiny of Planned Parenthood’s funding. “I hope it will lead the Administration to permanently redirect the funding to real quality health care options, especially for women,” he said in a statement to CatholicVote.

He added, “Planned Parenthood, which is ‘Child Abuse, Incorporated,’ dismembers or chemically poisons 1,000 babies every day, killing approximately 10 million innocent children since 1970. Yet it is subsidized by nearly $600 million in federal taxpayer dollars each year from multiple programs, including Title X.”

Smith didn’t mince words about the broader context: “For too long, politicians and much of the media have ignored, trivialized, and even defended the gross human rights abuses Planned Parenthood commits. Title X was established to provide family planning, not subsidize those who perpetrate cruel and inhumane acts against an unborn baby—there is nothing benign or compassionate about killing a defenseless child.”

Planned Parenthood’s CEO, Alexis McGill-Johnson, pushed back, telling the WSJ, “[t]he Trump-Vance-Musk administration wants to shut down Planned Parenthood health centers by any means necessary, and they’ll end people’s access to birth control, cancer screenings, STI testing and treatment, and more to do it.”

Meanwhile, in the waning days of the Biden administration, the organization pressed the Democrat-led Senate to confirm judges who could counter Trump’s pro-life agenda.

The abortion giant also criticized Trump’s recent executive order targeting the Department of Education.

“President Trump and Elon Musk are dismantling our government and our democracy brick by brick, executive order by executive order — with no regard for the consequences,” Planned Parenthood stated. Dr. Sara Flowers, the group’s vice president of education and training, called the shift of education policy back to states and parents “a power grab that will harm students and their futures,” adding, “Education, including s*x education, prepares young people for today’s world and sets them up for success.”

Pro-life voices weighed in too. Abby Johnson, a former Planned Parenthood director turned advocate, told CatholicVote, “The federal government won’t have to look too hard to find evidence of DEI practices at Planned Parenthood. It’s practically one of their creeds, so stripping that money away should be a small, easy win on behalf of taxpayers.”

She noted, “The money the government would be sending to Planned Parenthood supposedly would have been going to infertility counseling, STD testing, pregnancy tests, and contraception disbursement, all of which have significantly decreased since 2020. In fact, for the last several years, the number of patients at Planned Parenthood have decreased while the taxpayer funding has increased. This makes zero sense.”

Kash Patel silences Democrat Senator for asking the most moronic question ever

0

Capitol Hill is in an uproar. The battle lines have been drawn.

And now Kash Patel silenced a Democrat Senator for asking the most moronic question ever.

A Tense Showdown at the Hearing

FBI Director Kash Patel found himself in a heated exchange Wednesday during a House Intelligence Committee session on “worldwide threats,” locking horns with Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA) over a leaked Signal chat.

The group text, involving Trump administration officials planning airstrikes on Yemen’s Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists, has stirred controversy, and Houlahan pressed Patel hard:

“Do you believe that it is now time, potentially, for the FBI to open an investigation into this?” Patel didn’t flinch, firing back, “I’m not going to comment on that.”

The Pennsylvania Democrat wasn’t letting it slide. “Because you’re the director of the FBI, you don’t believe it’s appropriate to comment on that?” she challenged.

Patel held his ground, pointing to existing processes like a fresh lawsuit from American Oversight alleging Federal Records Act violations by chat participants. “Because there’s a process in place,” he said.

“There’s ongoing litigation. The National Security Council is reviewing this matter, and I’m not going to discuss any open or closed investigations.” It was a steady deflection, keeping the focus on procedure over speculation.

Frustration Meets Resolve

Houlahan didn’t hide her irritation. “That ongoing investigation literally — the lawsuit happened today or yesterday afternoon, and the idea that you don’t have an opinion on this at this point is frustrating to me,” she snapped.

Patel didn’t budge: “No, it’s not.” As she tried to interrupt, he pressed on, “I’m not going to prejudge any matter, and the men and women of the FBI will call the balls and strikes. Not you.”

His firm stance showed a commitment to letting the system play out—a nod to the bureau’s independence that landed with quiet strength.

The back-and-forth hit a wall as Houlahan invoked “reclaiming my time” to squeeze in one last question, but Patel wrapped his point first. She turned to Chairman Rick Crawford (R-AR) for support.

“The Gentlewoman is recognized,” Crawford said, before adding, “You have four seconds remaining.” Houlahan pushed back, “No! I have more than that,” insisting Patel’s refusal to engage ate into her slot.

Crawford stood firm: “You have two seconds remaining.”

Houlahan kept at it, arguing she deserved more leeway since Patel “would not acknowledge me.” But Crawford wasn’t swayed, dropping the gavel with a crisp, “The Gentlewoman’s time has expired,” before shifting to the next lawmaker.

The clash left a lingering buzz—Patel’s cool-headed sidestep clashing with Houlahan’s push for answers, all while Crawford kept the clock tight. It’s a snapshot of a hearing where process trumped pressure, letting the wheels of review roll on undisturbed.

Sudden attack on the US leaves the Pentagon dumbfounded

America’s enemies never rest. They won’t stop until we’re on our knees.

Now a sudden attack on the US left the Pentagon dumbfounded.

Houthi Claims Stir Red Sea Tensions

Yemen’s Houthi militants grabbed headlines late Tuesday, asserting they’d launched a fresh assault on U.S. Oscars in the Red Sea, targeting the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier and other warships.

The Jerusalem Post carried their statement, followed by an early Wednesday claim of drone strikes on a U.S. vessel and Israeli military sites.

Fox News Digital reached out to the Department of Defense for a response, but the Houthis’ latest boasts—echoing similar unproven retaliation claims this month—came shortly after U.S. forces downed several of their drones, casting doubt on the narrative.

The Trump administration’s steady hand in navigating these provocations shines through, even as the Houthis keep stirring the pot.

Their lack of evidence hasn’t stopped them from trying to flex muscle in response to U.S. strikes on Yemen, but the military’s quick drone takedowns suggest a readiness that keeps the upper edge.

A Signal Slip Sparks Debate

The plot thickened when a leaked Signal chat surfaced, revealing Trump officials hashing out a Houthi strike—until they accidentally looped in Atlantic editor Jeffrey Goldberg. Dubbed “Houthi PC Small Group,” the chat included heavyweights like Michael Waltz, JD Vance, Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, John Ratcliffe, Tulsi Gabbard, and Susie Wiles.

Goldberg, invited March 11 by someone he pegged as Waltz, peeked into what he called “war plans” discussions, opting not to spill sensitive details like targets or timing for security’s sake. A bombshell twist? Ratcliffe allegedly dropped a CIA undercover agent’s name into the mix.

Critics pounced, slamming the chat as a national security blunder—top brass aren’t supposed to brainstorm attacks outside secure channels.

The White House didn’t deny its authenticity but downplayed the fuss. Hegseth brushed it off: “I’ve heard how it was characterized. Nobody was texting war plans, and that’s all I have to say about that.”

He didn’t stop there, tearing into Goldberg as “a deceitful and highly discredited, so-called journalist who’s made a profession of peddling hoaxes time and time again,” citing past Trump-related controversies. It’s a fiery defense that keeps the focus on results over chatter.

Sorting Fact from Noise

The Houthi claims and the Signal slip collide in a messy swirl, but the administration’s holding firm.

The U.S. military’s drone intercepts show a no-nonsense stance against Houthi threats, while the chat leak—sloppy or not—hasn’t derailed plans.

Goldberg’s scoop, naming 18 insiders, stirred the pot, but Hegseth’s pushback frames it as more smoke than fire.

With the White House standing by its team, the real test is whether these moves keep the Red Sea in check—a job Trump’s crew seems geared to tackle, missteps and all.

Elon Musk is turning heads after what he just said about the federal government

0

Musk has thrown his hat into the political realm. Now he’s making a name for himself.

And Elon Musk is turning heads after what he just said about the federal government.

A Bold Slash at Government Waste

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk, is making waves, claiming to have shaved $115 billion off federal spending in under two months. Launched in late January, this lean operation is tackling the $2 trillion deficit head-on, targeting wasteful spending and fraud with a razor-sharp focus.

The results, posted on DOGE’s website, break down to roughly $714.29 per taxpayer—based on 161 million federal filers—offering a tangible win for those footing the bill.

The savings stem from a multi-pronged attack: axed contracts, scrapped grants, trimmed workforces, and a crackdown on fraudulent payouts. The General Services Administration (GSA) took the biggest hit, with the Department of Education and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) not far behind.

About 30% of the haul—think $20 billion from ditched contracts and $17 billion from non-essential grants—is already laid out online, with DOGE promising weekly updates for a clear, no-nonsense look at every cut.

Early Wins and Big Targets

Musk isn’t mincing words about the stakes. “If we don’t do something about this deficit, the country’s going bankrupt,” he said from the Oval Office last month. “It’s not optional for us to reduce the federal expenses. It’s essential.”

DOGE hit the ground running, racking up over $1 billion in savings within weeks by killing off taxpayer-funded Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs across agencies. Another hefty slice—$4.9 billion—came from U.S. Customs and Border Protection dropping 21 contracts, proving the team’s knack for spotting fat to trim.

The effort goes beyond paperwork. DOGE’s digging into systemic waste has unearthed some eyebrow-raising finds. Take FEMA: in early February, it was caught funneling $59 million to house illegal immigrants in New York City’s swanky hotels.

Then there’s the Social Security database, listing tens of millions as over 100 years old—a fraud magnet.

The Small Business Administration (SBA) got a wake-up call after issuing 3,000 loans worth $333 million to supposed centenarians between 2020 and 2021. Now, birthdate checks are in, and loans for anyone under 18 or over 120 are on hold.

Transparency Meets Results

DOGE’s approach is all about keeping it real—updating its platform weekly to show “digestible and transparent” proof of its work. That openness is paying off, with the $115 billion figure signaling a serious dent in the bloat that’s long plagued federal spending.

It’s not just numbers; it’s a shift toward accountability that’s hard to argue with, especially when the biggest chunks—like the GSA cuts—start adding up.

President Trump gave DOGE a shoutout in a recent Fox News sit-down with Laura Ingraham, tipping his hat to its relentless hunt for waste.

The praise underscores a broader push to streamline government, with Musk’s crew delivering early results that could set the tone for more to come. As the deficit looms, DOGE’s fast start suggests a practical fix is in motion—one taxpayers might just feel in their wallets.

Game-changing move by Donald Trump left Hunter Biden cowering in fear

0

After being ousted by Kamala, the Bidens are trying to fade into the background. But Republicans haven’t forgotten what they did.

Now a Game-changing move by Donald Trump left Hunter Biden cowering in fear.

Trump Grants Pardon to Key Witness

President Trump put pen to paper on Tuesday, signing a pardon for Devon Archer, a former business partner of Hunter Biden and a pivotal figure in Congress’ probe into the Biden family’s dealings.

Archer, 51, had been staring down a year-long prison stint for securities fraud, but Trump stepped in, calling it a case of judicial overreach.

“Many people have asked me to do this, they think he was treated very unfairly,” Trump said moments before signing.

“He was a victim of a crime as far as I’m concerned. So we are going to undo that.” The move has reignited debate over fairness and loyalty in Washington’s tangled web.

Archer’s pardon comes after he played a starring role in the GOP-led impeachment investigation into President Joe Biden. Trump aides argue he got a raw deal from the courts, especially given his cooperation with lawmakers digging into alleged influence-peddling.

It’s a narrative that casts Archer as a whistleblower caught in the crossfire, now freed by a president who sees the scales of justice needing a nudge back into balance.

Archer’s Testimony Unveils Biden Ties

Back in 2023, Archer handed House investigators a trove of insights that painted a vivid picture of the Biden family’s international ventures. He detailed how then-Vice President Biden would often dial into Hunter’s business meetings—roughly 20 times, by Archer’s count—lending a high-profile presence that smoothed the way for deals with firms in China, Russia, Ukraine, and beyond.

While Biden stuck to small talk, never diving into specifics, Archer said the calls and two dinners with associates signaled clout that paid off handsomely.

The standout moment? A call involving Hunter, Burisma executives, and then-Vice President Biden. Archer told investigators the Ukrainian gas company’s leaders, who’d shelled out $3 million for Hunter’s board seat, leaned on that connection to quash a corruption probe.

Shortly after, Biden pressured Ukraine to oust the investigating inspector general—a sequence House probes pegged as part of a $30 million haul for the Biden circle, much of it flowing in during his vice-presidential years. Joe Biden has consistently denied any role in these dealings.

Fraud Case Casts a Shadow

Archer’s legal woes stem from a separate chapter: a 2022 conviction for securities fraud tied to $60 million in tribal bonds from the Oglala Sioux Tribe. He and six associates were found guilty of misrepresenting the bonds’ backing, with some of the cash siphoned off for personal splurges—like a $10 million Tribeca apartment in Archer’s name.

While his partners faced stiff sentences, Archer stayed out of lockup as his team fought—and lost—a bid to toss the case. Notably, Hunter Biden was never linked to this scheme.

Federal prosecutors painted a grim picture of the fallout, accusing the group of not just defrauding the tribe but exploiting its funds for lavish gains. Archer’s year-and-a-day sentence was set to begin, but Trump’s pardon has now wiped that slate clean, leaving questions about accountability and redemption hanging in the air. It’s a fresh twist in a saga that blends business, politics, and justice, with Archer stepping out of the spotlight—for now.

Donald Trump just flipped the script on Democrats

The Left is losing ground quick. And it’s only getting worse.

Because Donald Trump just flipped the script on Democrats.

A Big Win for U.S. Jobs

President Donald Trump kicked off the week with a major announcement on Monday, revealing that South Korean automaker Hyundai is pumping $21 billion into the United States over the next four years.

The centerpiece of this investment is a brand-new steel plant in Louisiana, set to generate nearly 1,500 jobs—a move that’s already turning heads.

Trump welcomed Hyundai Chairman Euisun Chung, Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise to the White House to share the news, spotlighting a partnership that promises to reshape American manufacturing.

The Louisiana facility marks Hyundai’s first U.S. steel mill, designed to churn out cutting-edge steel for electric vehicles (EVs) that will roll off the lines at two existing U.S. plants, according to CNBC.

It’s a strategic play to bolster domestic production, and Trump didn’t hesitate to tie it to his broader vision.

“This investment is a clear demonstration that tariffs very strongly work,” he said. “And I hope other things also, but the tariffs are bringing them in at levels that have not been witnessed.” The comment nods to a policy approach that’s starting to show tangible results.

Hyundai Doubles Down on America

For Hyundai, this isn’t just a small step—it’s a giant leap. Chairman Euisun Chung called the $21 billion commitment the company’s largest-ever U.S. investment, projecting it will create 14,000 jobs nationwide over four years, per Bloomberg. The goal? Ramp up production to 1.2 million vehicles annually, cementing Hyundai’s footprint in the American market.

“We are especially excited about Hyundai Steel’s multi-billion dollar investment in a new facility in Louisiana, which will create 1,300 American jobs and serve as the foundation for a more self-reliant and secure automotive supply chain in the U.S.,” Chung said, highlighting the ripple effects for workers and industry alike.

Hyundai’s already got a solid base here, with auto plants in Alabama and Georgia. Monday’s announcement added a third to the mix—a second Georgia facility—expanding its reach even further.

The timing aligns with Trump’s plan to roll out reciprocal tariffs on April 2, a date he’s dubbed “Liberation Day in America.” It’s a subtle but clear signal that the administration’s trade strategy is nudging global players to invest stateside, and Hyundai’s jumping on board.

A Trend Gains Momentum

This isn’t an isolated move. Hyundai’s hefty pledge follows a wave of similar commitments from foreign giants like Taiwan’s TSMC and Japan’s SoftBank, each pouring billions into U.S. manufacturing as Trump’s tariff plans loom.

The April 2 deadline seems to be lighting a fire under these companies, encouraging them to plant roots here rather than face steeper trade costs later. It’s a practical response to a policy that’s quietly reshaping the economic landscape.

For Louisiana, the steel plant is a game-changer—1,300 direct jobs plus a stronger supply chain for EVs that keeps more production on home soil. Across the country, the 14,000-job forecast offers a lifeline to workers and communities eager for opportunity.

Whether it’s tariffs or sheer business savvy driving Hyundai’s decision, the outcome’s the same: a major investment that’s putting America front and center, with more potentially on the horizon.

Trump Trims Security for Mayorkas

President Trump has taken a firm step, ending Secret Service protection for former Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, a move the agency confirmed Monday evening.

Mayorkas, who shaped the Biden administration’s softer stance on illegal immigration, had been a frequent target of frustration for those pushing tougher border policies. Now, Trump’s decision signals a shift, cutting through what some see as lingering excess from the prior administration.

Initially, President Joe Biden had extended Mayorkas’ taxpayer-funded security detail for six months post-tenure, a cushion that would’ve lasted until mid-July. That plan unraveled this week when Trump stepped in, pulling the plug early.

It’s a practical move that aligns with a broader effort to rethink how resources are allocated—especially for figures tied to policies that didn’t sit well with many Americans.

A Clear Order Executed

The Secret Service didn’t hesitate to act. “Per executive memorandum of the President, the protective detail for former Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has been discontinued,” a spokesperson told The Post, keeping it concise.

They added, “To ensure the integrity of our operations, we cannot comment on the specifics of our protective means and methods,” a nod to efficiency over fanfare. The directive hit the agency’s desk last Friday, per the Washington Post, and by Monday, Trump was touting the change on Truth Social with a shared headline.

The White House didn’t respond to an email seeking clarification, but the action speaks for itself. It’s less about drama and more about delivering on a promise to streamline—a subtle but telling choice from a leader who’s never shied away from shaking things up when he sees fit.

Part of a Bigger Cleanup

Mayorkas isn’t alone in losing his security net. Just last week, Hunter and Ashley Biden, the former president’s adult kids, saw their details vanish, a quiet rollback of Biden-era perks.

Earlier this month, Anthony Fauci, the retired infectious disease chief, also had his Secret Service agents pulled—another pragmatic cut under Trump’s watch that keeps the focus on moving forward.

Even figures from Trump’s first term aren’t immune. He’s ended protection for ex-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former National Security Adviser John Bolton, despite Iran’s threats against them.

It’s a bold call, trimming back what some might call unnecessary holdovers, even for allies who faced real risks. The consistency suggests a principle at play: security isn’t a lifetime entitlement.

A Leaner Approach Takes Shape

The timing of Mayorkas’ security loss—hot on the heels of other cuts—paints a picture of an administration serious about paring down.

For those who cheered Trump’s return, it’s a welcome sign of discipline, shedding costs tied to a past administration’s priorities. Critics might call it harsh, but the move fits a pattern of decisive action over sentimentality.

Without a detailed explanation beyond the Secret Service’s statement, the reasoning stays open-ended. Is it about saving money, sending a message, or both? Either way, Mayorkas now navigates life without the federal shield, joining others in a post-protection reality as Trump’s team keeps the momentum rolling.

House Republicans Demand FBI Probe into Tesla Attacks

A coalition of House Republicans, led by Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona, took action on Friday, pressing FBI Director Kash Patel to launch an investigation into what they describe as domestic terrorism targeting Tesla owners and dealerships.

In a sharply worded letter co-signed by six GOP colleagues, they point fingers at the “radical Left” and specifically call out Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, suggesting her rhetoric may be fueling a wave of violent acts against the electric car company.

The lawmakers’ letter urges Patel to “open an inquiry into those who are fomenting, inciting and engaging in domestic terrorism, including recent calls to action by Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett.” They argue that Crockett “has joined those who are fomenting the violence by encouraging her followers to ‘take down’ Elon Musk and Tesla,” tying her comments to a broader pattern of attacks they see as crossing legal lines.

Alleged Crimes and a Legal Line in the Sand

The Republicans ground their case in the legal definition of domestic terrorism, which includes “acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State, such as violence or threatening or intimidating.”

They also highlight actions meant to “intimidate or coerce a civilian population or to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion” as qualifying under the statute. To back their claims, they list recent incidents: eight Molotov cocktails hurled at a Tesla dealership in Oregon, an attempted arson of a Tesla vehicle in Colorado, and vandalism targeting a Tesla and charging stations in South Carolina.

“Of course, these despicable acts are growing in an organized way to intimidate ordinary citizens who simply own a car manufactured by Tesla,” the lawmakers assert. “Those behind this conspiracy of violence are now trying to dox Tesla owners and are encouraging vandalism and violence.” The letter, co-signed by Reps. Eli Crane (AZ), Eric Burlison (MO), Keith Self (TX), Clay Higgins (LA), Andy Ogles (TN), and Lauren Boebert (CO), paints a picture of escalating aggression they want the FBI to tackle head-on.

Crockett’s Call and a Clash of Interpretations

The spotlight turned to Rep. Jasmine Crockett after she posted a video Thursday aligning herself with the “Tesla Takedown” movement—a group billing itself as a “peaceful protest” pushing investors to ditch Tesla stock. In the video, the Texas Democrat, who serves on the House Department of Government Efficiency Subcommittee, didn’t mince words:

“On March 29 it’s my birthday. All I want to see happen on my birthday is for Elon to be taken down.” Yet she quickly clarified her intent, adding, “The things that we’re fighting for — we are fighting for our country, we are fighting for democracy, we’re fighting for our freedom — and when I say fighting, I am saying that figuratively. Obviously everything that I am promoting is nonviolent and so definitely don’t want anyone to take that word literal in any way.”

Republicans, however, aren’t buying the disclaimer. They contend she and others “encouraged these acts in order to intimidate the head of [the Department of Government Efficiency], Elon Musk, and influence the policies of the Trump Administration. These incitements appear to violate the law.”

They warn that what started as protest has “morphed into an organized effort to promote violence,” pressing Patel to investigate both the perpetrators and those they see as instigators.

Meanwhile, the Justice Department is already moving on related cases. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Thursday that three individuals accused of damaging Tesla property in Colorado, Oregon, and South Carolina face up to 20 years in prison on domestic terrorism charges.

“The days of committing crimes without consequence have ended,” Bondi stated. “Let this be a warning, If you join this wave of domestic terrorism against Tesla properties, the Department of Justice will put you behind bars.” The defendants allegedly used firearms and explosives, targeting assets tied to Musk’s company amid his high-profile role in the Trump administration.

President Trump weighed in Friday via social media, upping the stakes with a provocative suggestion: “I look forward to watching the sick terrorist thugs get 20-year jail sentences for what they are doing to Elon Musk and Tesla. Perhaps they could serve them in the prisons of El Salvador, which have become so recently famous for such lovely conditions!”

Trump Seals Massive UAE Investment Deal

President Donald Trump notched a major win this week, locking in a $1.4 trillion pledge from the United Arab Emirates to pour into American energy, manufacturing, and tech over the next ten years.

The deal, unveiled Friday by the White House, promises a hefty boost to the U.S. economy at a time when fresh capital could make all the difference.

“This new framework will substantially increase the UAE’s existing investments in the U.S. economy in AI infrastructure, semiconductors, energy, and American manufacturing,” the White House declared in a statement, as reported by Bloomberg.

The agreement didn’t just materialize out of thin air.

It stemmed from a high-stakes Tuesday Oval Office sit-down between Trump and UAE national security adviser Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed, followed by Vice President JD Vance and Cabinet heavyweights hashing out details over dinner with a UAE delegation.

That crew included top brass from the UAE’s sovereign wealth funds and major firms, according to a White House insider speaking to Reuters. The effort paid off, setting the stage for a decade-long economic partnership.

UAE Targets Key U.S. Sectors

Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed didn’t mince words about the UAE’s ambitions. “The UAE is committed to strengthening its economic ties with the U.S. by accelerating investments in artificial intelligence, advanced technology, infrastructure, energy, and healthcare,” he said. The framework’s specifics back that up.

Reuters reports that UAE investment fund ADQ teamed up with U.S.-based Energy Capital Partners for a $25 billion push into American energy infrastructure and data centers.

Meanwhile, XRG, the global arm of UAE state oil giant ADNOC, threw its weight behind U.S. natural gas, backing NextDecade’s liquefied natural gas export hub in Texas.

But that’s just the start. Companies in the talks are apparently eyeing even bigger plays, with plans to sink funds into U.S. gas, chemicals, and energy infrastructure beyond the initial framework.

It’s a bold move that could ripple through multiple industries, giving American workers and businesses a shot in the arm after years of watching opportunities slip overseas.

A Campaign Promise Comes to Life

Trump’s no stranger to touting foreign investment—he made it a cornerstone of his campaign, arguing it’s the key to reviving U.S. manufacturing and sparking tech-sector jobs.

This UAE deal feels like a victory lap for that vision, pulling in serious cash from abroad while Biden’s old crew was busy fumbling the ball. With the UAE stepping up, Trump’s team is banking on this infusion to prove that America’s still the place to invest—especially when the right leadership’s calling the shots.

Trump official humiliates reporter for asking the most idiotic question imaginable

The mainstream media is back at it again. But they’re getting stopped in their tracks.

Because this Trump official humiliated a reporter for asking the most idiotic question imaginable.

Hassett Fires Back on Egg Prices

Kevin Hassett, the National Economic Council Director, didn’t mince words on Thursday when he took a reporter to task outside the White House.

The confrontation erupted after a journalist dared to question whether egg prices were truly dropping, putting Hassett’s claims under the spotlight.

The sparks flew when the reporter probed for updates on a joint initiative with Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, aimed at tackling the egg crisis sparked by last year’s bird flu outbreak. Hassett didn’t hesitate. “Yeah, they’re down $2.50 a dozen,” he snapped.

“And I went to the grocery store, as I do every Saturday, because I’m the one who likes to shop at my family because I get to see all the prices. And the egg prices in D.C. were actually down quite a bit more than $2.50 a dozen.”

Linking Policy to Progress

Naturally, the follow-up came fast—how could he be sure the Trump administration deserved the credit? Hassett leaned in with confidence.

“Because if you look at the data on the culling of chickens, it’s basically stopped, starting on January 20th, there’s a chart we can show you on that,” he said, pointing to a sharp policy shift. He didn’t stop there, taking a swipe at the previous administration.

“But it’s astonishing how many chickens were killed in the last two months of the Biden administration,” he added, painting a grim picture of the past.

Hassett credited Rollins for the turnaround. “And by having a more prudent Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke Rollins, has done more prudent policy about how to manage the disease, then we got lower egg prices and healthier chickens, because it’s—they’re not being culled in millions,” he explained.

He drove the point home with hard numbers: “Remember, it was more than 100 million chickens were culled, and they spent $2 billion killing the chickens. And if you look at what’s happened to the culling since President Trump took office, it’s gone almost to zero.”

Facing the “Gotcha” Moment

The exchange took a turn when another reporter jumped in, aiming for a gotcha. “But what about the wholesale prices of eggs versus what consumers are actually paying?” they pressed.

“We’ve seen wholesale prices go down, but it’s not always reflected in the grocery stores.” Hassett didn’t flinch.

“For the latest egg prices, go to the grocery store,” he shot back, keeping it real. “Like I literally just went to the grocery and bought the same eggs I always buy, and they were way down.”

For Hassett, the proof’s in the shopping cart—not in press room debates. His no-nonsense take left the reporters scrambling, while he stood firm on the administration’s win against the egg crisis.
