America’s enemies are bold. They think they can intimidate us.

Now enemy aircraft were spotted over these US states for one terrifying reason.

A senior official from U.S. Northern Command (NORTHCOM) has revealed that some of the 350 drones detected flying over military installations and sensitive areas last year may have been engaged in surveillance activities.

Gen. Gregory Guillot, commander of NORTHCOM and North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), addressed the issue during a Senate Armed Services Committee Budget hearing on Thursday. The drones, which were spotted across the country, were most notably observed in New Jersey, as well as over key military installations like Joint Base Langley, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, and Vandenberg Space Force Base.

Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., pressed Guillot on the potential threat these unmanned aircraft pose to military operations and personnel.

“Senator, the primary threat I see for them in the way they’ve been operating is detection and perhaps surveillance of sensitive capabilities on our installations,” Guillot explained. “There were 350 detections reported last year on military installations, and that was 350 over a total of 100 different installations of all types and levels of security.”

Guillot confirmed that commanders at sensitive sites, such as nuclear bases, have the authority to protect their airspace from unauthorized drone activity. He noted that these high-security installations make up about half of the military’s total facilities.

Cotton expressed disbelief that only half of the nation’s bases have the capability to defend against drone intrusions.

He compared the situation to the ability of base commanders to handle a ground attack. “Base commanders at every base in the U.S. have the ability to protect their ground if a terrorist drove a dump truck through the front gate of a military facility,” Cotton said, to which Guillot agreed.

Cotton further raised concerns about recent reports that Mexican cartels were authorized to deploy drones equipped with explosives against U.S. Border Patrol agents along the southern border.

He questioned whether the Department of Defense needed additional authorization to share drone-related intelligence with the Department of Homeland Security and other border agencies. Guillot confirmed that this was indeed necessary.

The general advocated for enhancing the military’s drone defense capabilities, emphasizing the need to improve base protection and facilitate smoother information-sharing between government agencies.

Meanwhile, the White House sought to downplay some of the drone sightings. Press secretary Karoline Leavitt explained late last month that the drones observed in large numbers over New Jersey were “authorized by the FAA for research and various other reasons.”

In addition to these authorized drones, hobbyists also contributed to the sightings as public curiosity increased.

Nonetheless, the wave of drone sightings in November and December stirred public concern and drew the attention of law enforcement agencies.

The FBI, along with New Jersey State Police and the NJ Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness, issued a public request for information regarding drone activity along the Raritan River.

“The FBI Newark, NJ State Police, and NJ Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness are asking for the public to report any information related to the recent sightings of possible drones flying in several areas along the Raritan River,” stated an FBI release from Dec. 3.

The Federal Aviation Administration responded by imposing temporary flight restrictions in some areas of New Jersey to curb the unexplained aerial activity.

The situation highlights the growing concerns surrounding drone technology and its implications for national security.

The political battles are back in full force. And who knows who will fall victim.

Now an impeachment threat from the White House rocked Capitol Hill to its core.

Rep. Clyde Moves to Impeach Radical Judge Blocking Trump’s Spending Freeze

Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA) is taking action against what he calls a blatant abuse of judicial power, announcing plans to file articles of impeachment against U.S. District Judge John McConnell Jr., who recently blocked President Donald Trump’s efforts to freeze federal funds from going toward left-wing pet projects.

“I’m drafting articles of impeachment for U.S. District Judge John McConnell Jr.,” Clyde wrote on X.

“He’s a partisan activist weaponizing our judicial system to stop President Trump’s funding freeze on woke and wasteful government spending. We must end this abusive overreach. Stay tuned.”

McConnell, an Obama-era appointee with a long history of leftist activism, issued a restraining order on January 31 to halt the Trump administration’s plan to pause grants and loans for programs like the so-called Climate Pollution Reduction Grant.

This grant and other Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) slush funds have been a favorite tool for Democrats to funnel taxpayer money into their radical green agenda.

Despite the judge’s order, 22 states and Washington, D.C., claimed last week that the administration still hasn’t released the funds, prompting McConnell to double down with a new motion demanding compliance.

On Tuesday, a three-judge panel from the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals—hardly a bastion of conservative jurisprudence—rejected the Trump administration’s appeal.

McConnell’s ruling has sparked outrage among conservatives who see his decision as yet another example of unelected judicial activists trying to undermine the will of the people.

“This is not justice—it’s judicial tyranny,” Clyde told Fox News Digital. “For a federal judge to deny the executive their legitimate right to exercise their authority is wrong. This type of judge, this political activist—this radical political activist—should be removed from the bench.”

McConnell’s own words seem to confirm his bias. In a 2021 video, he made it clear that he views the law through a leftist lens, stating:

“You have to take a moment and realize that this, you know, middle-class, white, male, privileged person needs to understand the human being that comes before us that may be a woman, may be Black, may be transgender, may be poor, may be rich, may be — whatever.”

Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, who has become increasingly vocal about left-wing judicial overreach, weighed in on X: “Impeach this activist posing as a judge! Such a person does great discredit to the American justice system.”

The push for impeachment is gaining steam among Trump allies in Congress. Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ) has also indicated he may file impeachment articles against U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer, another leftist judge who recently tried to block the Trump administration from accessing Treasury records as part of its plan to crack down on government bloat.

While McConnell has refused to comment on the case, it’s clear his decisions are already eroding public trust in the judiciary. Trump’s supporters say these judges are not impartial arbiters of the law but partisan operatives protecting the Democrat agenda.

The fight is far from over, but Clyde’s impeachment push signals that conservatives are done playing nice with activist judges who put ideology before the Constitution.

Trump’s America First foreign policy is having dramatic effects. No one can afford to not take notice.

And now a top foreign leader groveled on hands and knees to Donald Trump.

Modi’s White House Visit: Trade Deals, Tariffs, and Trump’s Favor

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to meet President Donald Trump on Thursday, arriving with a host of trade concessions, business deals, and strategic cooperation offers—hoping to win favor with the America First leader.

Just weeks into his second term, Trump has once again wielded tariffs as leverage, pressuring both allies and adversaries to strike new trade deals, invest in the U.S., or step up cooperation on key policy issues. Despite his warm relationship with Modi in his first term, Trump has criticized India as a “very big abuser” in trade, with his steel and aluminum tariffs hitting the country hard.

Ahead of the highly anticipated White House meeting, Modi has prepared a series of promises, including increased purchases of liquefied natural gas, combat vehicles, and jet engines, according to Indian officials. Additionally, India is looking at potential trade negotiations, opening its markets to more U.S. agricultural exports, and investing in nuclear energy. Tariff reductions in key sectors such as electronics, medical equipment, and chemicals are also on the table—moves that align with Trump’s push for fairer trade terms.

“It’s a ‘gift’ for Trump,” said one source familiar with the discussions, previewing the private meeting.

Beyond trade, Modi is reportedly seeking assistance with the case of billionaire Gautam Adani, a close ally who was indicted by the U.S. Justice Department in November over an alleged bribery scheme—charges Adani denies.

Another thorny issue looms in the background: the alleged Indian intelligence plot to assassinate a Sikh activist on U.S. soil during the Biden administration.

Despite the broad agenda, trade is expected to dominate the discussions. “It’s going to be a boxing match,” said Richard Rossow of the Center for Strategic and International Studies. “I think India is willing to take a few hits, but there’s a limit.”

The U.S. currently has a $45.6 billion trade deficit with India, and while America’s trade-weighted average tariff rate sits at 2.2%, India’s is much higher at 12%, according to WTO data. Trump’s administration has vowed to impose reciprocal tariffs on countries that tax U.S. imports—fueling fears of a deepening global trade war.

Another key issue on Trump’s radar is unauthorized immigration. India remains a major source of migrants to the U.S., including high-skilled workers in the tech sector and those in the country illegally.

During his Washington visit, Modi is also expected to meet one-on-one with billionaire Elon Musk, a close Trump ally. According to sources, the discussion could touch on Starlink’s bid to enter the Indian market.

Beyond trade and business, India plays a crucial role in Trump’s broader strategy to counter China. Both Washington and New Delhi are wary of Beijing’s military ambitions, and India competes with China in several global markets. However, India remains cautious, maintaining its foreign policy of “strategic ambiguity” to avoid direct confrontation.

Modi’s balancing act extends to Russia as well. Despite the West’s efforts to isolate Moscow over the Ukraine war, India continues to be a major buyer of Russian energy.

Meanwhile, Trump has ramped up diplomatic efforts, speaking directly with both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskiy about potential negotiations to end the conflict.

Modi’s White House visit may offer insight into whether Trump will push key global players—India included—to apply pressure toward a resolution.

While trade and defense deals will take center stage, one thing is certain: Modi’s visit isn’t just about securing economic agreements—it’s about navigating Trump’s America First agenda and ensuring India stays in Washington’s good graces.

The Left doesn’t hide their disdain for America. But funding her enemies is a step too far.

Now a top Democrat was caught bankrolling a major terrorist with taxpayer dollars.

A U.S. agency currently under fire from President Donald Trump and Elon Musk—while being fiercely defended by Democrats—has been exposed for funding the college tuition of an American-born jihadist once described by U.S. officials as “a key leader of Al-Qaeda.”

According to Fox News, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) provided “full funding” for Anwar al-Awlaki to attend Colorado State University in 1990.

Al-Awlaki, an American-born terrorist with direct ties to the 9/11 hijackers, was ultimately killed in a drone strike under the Obama administration.

Al-Awlaki played a pivotal role in Al-Qaeda’s war against America and was in contact with Army psychiatrist Nidal Hasan before Hasan carried out the deadly 2009 attack at what was then known as Fort Hood, killing 13 people.

Over the weekend, investigative reporters unearthed documents revealing that USAID not only paid for Al-Awlaki’s college education but that he fraudulently claimed to be a Yemeni national to qualify for an exchange visa.

Journalists Pamela Browne and Catherine Herridge shared the bombshell findings on X, exposing how Al-Awlaki misrepresented his citizenship to receive taxpayer-funded tuition.

“Aulaqi would later develop close ties with several 9/11 hijackers and attain leadership status in AQ’s Yemen affiliate,” Herridge wrote.

“Aulaqi was the godfather of the digital jihad that leveraged his writings and the web to radicalize Americans to AQ’s cause. Aulaqi became the first American targeted for death by the CIA. In 2011, he was killed in a US drone strike.”

Born in Las Cruces, New Mexico, in 1971 to Yemeni parents, Al-Awlaki spent his childhood traveling between the U.S. and Yemen.

The document proving USAID’s involvement was initially discovered by George Washington University’s National Security Archive in 2015, but its resurfacing comes at a particularly inconvenient time for USAID as it faces scrutiny.

“This form, dated 1990, confirms that Anwar al-Awlaki was qualified for an exchange visa and that USAID was providing ‘full funding’ for his studies at Colorado State University,” the National Security Archive reported at the time.

“The document lists Anwar’s birthplace incorrectly as Sanaa, Yemen’s capital, which he later said was a deliberate falsehood offered at the urging of American officials who knew his father so that he could qualify for a scholarship reserved for foreign citizens.”

After finishing his education, Al-Awlaki worked as a Muslim cleric across the U.S., including at a San Diego mosque where he met two 9/11 hijackers in 2000.

By 2004, he had relocated to Yemen, where he was arrested in 2006 on suspicion of terrorist ties.

His radical influence extended beyond 9/11. He was also linked to the 2009 Fort Hood shooting and the attempted bombing of a Detroit-bound flight on Christmas Day of that same year.

While Democrats rush to shield USAID from accountability, this revelation raises serious questions about how taxpayer dollars have been funneled into the wrong hands—and whether this is just the tip of the iceberg.

America is no longer going to be weak. Under Trump, our enemies are starting to fear us again.

Now the US Army rushed a report to Donald Trump’s desk that could be a game-changer.

The U.S. Army reported record-breaking recruitment numbers in December—just weeks after President Donald Trump secured reelection.

According to the Army, last month marked the most successful recruitment period in 15 years, with an impressive average of 346 new enlistees joining each day.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth directly credited Trump’s leadership for the surge, saying that young Americans “want to serve under the bold & strong ‘America First’ leadership” of the Trump administration.

The news comes on the heels of a major overhaul in military policy. In a decisive effort to restore discipline and cohesion, Trump moved swiftly to eliminate radical “woke” programs that had plagued the armed forces under his predecessor.

In late January, the president signed three executive orders aimed at purging left-wing ideology from the military.

As CatholicVote reported, these orders “prohibited people from serving in the military while simultaneously identifying as ‘transgender,’ banned programs teaching critical race theory (CRT) in the armed forces, and reinstated over 8,000 service members who were expelled from the military for declining COVID shots.”

Another executive order reversed a controversial Biden-era policy that funneled taxpayer dollars into covering travel costs for military personnel seeking out-of-state abortions.

Under the Biden administration, recruitment numbers had plummeted. The Army failed to meet its goals in both 2022 and 2023, managing to hit only 74.8% and 76.6% of its targets, respectively.

The Department of Defense (DoD) blamed the collapse on a “strong economy,” a shrinking pool of eligible recruits, and “low trust” in the military among Generation Z.

But many pointed the finger at the Pentagon’s relentless push for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies that turned the military into a leftist social experiment.

Hegseth has been blunt about the damage these policies caused, arguing that DEI initiatives “detracted from the military’s core mission of keeping the country safe,” according to the Washington Examiner.

The contrast in messaging couldn’t be clearer. Trump’s Pentagon is focusing on warfighters, discipline, and national defense. New Army recruitment ads reflect this shift, featuring traditional warrior ethos slogans like “We fight to WIN” and “Strong Soldiers = Effective Warfighters.”

That’s a far cry from the embarrassing 2021 recruitment ad under Biden, which featured a young woman raised by two moms, linking LGBTQ activism to military service—a campaign that was widely mocked for treating the armed forces like a college diversity seminar.

At a recent Pentagon Town Hall, Hegseth emphasized the need to “get back to the basics” and restore the kind of messaging that actually inspires America’s best and brightest to enlist.

“I think we’ve seen an enthusiasm and excitement from young men and women who want to join the military actively because they are interested in being a part of the finest fighting force the world has to offer,” he said.

With recruitment numbers now surging, it’s clear: under Trump, the U.S. military is once again putting strength, patriotism, and readiness above political correctness.

No one ever claimed the ladies of The View were geniuses. But this is laughable.

Because Joy Behar went on The View and gave the most braindead rant about Donald Trump.

Joy Behar just can’t help herself. On Tuesday’s episode of The View, the liberal talk show host bizarrely claimed that President Donald Trump’s plan to stop minting pennies was nothing more than an ego-driven stunt—because he’s “jealous” of Abraham Lincoln.

Behar and her cohosts were discussing Trump’s common-sense proposal to eliminate the wasteful production of pennies, yet somehow, they twisted the decision into a personal grudge against America’s 16th president.

“I mean, it’s really— and he’s jealous of everybody. Now he’s getting rid of the penny, he’s even jealous of Lincoln,” Behar ranted. “He’s so small, so petty.”

“Small and petty, absolutely,” cohost Sunny Hostin eagerly agreed.

Trump’s Move to Cut Government Waste

While The View panel cooked up conspiracy theories, the reality is much simpler.

Trump’s decision to halt penny production is about cutting government waste—something Democrats never seem interested in doing.

On Sunday, Trump explained the move on Truth Social, pointing out that the U.S. has been spending more than twice a penny’s face value just to produce each coin.

“For far too long, the United States has minted pennies which literally cost us more than 2 cents. This is so wasteful! I have instructed my Secretary of the US Treasury to stop producing new pennies. Let’s rip the waste out of our great nation’s budget, even if it’s a penny at a time,” Trump wrote.

Could Nickels Be Next?

Trump’s decision to eliminate pennies might just be the beginning of a broader effort to rein in unnecessary spending.

With nickels also costing more to produce than their actual value, they could be next in line if demand spikes due to fewer pennies in circulation.

Of course, that kind of efficiency is exactly what drives the Left crazy.

Instead of addressing the real issue—why the government wastes billions on outdated policies—Behar and her cohosts resort to their usual Trump-bashing.

But no amount of media hysteria will change the fact that President Trump is once again doing what he does best: cutting through government waste and putting America first.

WATCH:

Flaunting her profound ignorance of how even Obama floated the idea, ABC News's Joy Behar claims Trump wants to ax the penny because he's "jealous of Lincoln" and "small and petty." "Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah," agrees former fed prosecutor Sunny Hostin.

The immigration policy of the US has been a joke for years. And it has encouraged some terrible behavior.

Now Trump received one report from the border that left him speechless.

The Biden border crisis isn’t just unfolding on land—it’s happening at sea, too.

The U.S. Coast Guard stopped an “overloaded” boat carrying 132 Haitian migrants about 50 miles off the Florida coast, sending them back home on Monday, officials confirmed.

The interception happened last week when the Coast Guard Cutter Escanaba spotted the 30-foot sailboat between Cuba and Cay Sal Bank, near Marathon, Florida.

Authorities swiftly intervened, preventing another illegal entry attempt into the United States.

Lt. Zane Carter of the Coast Guard’s District Seven made it clear that this administration is taking illegal immigration seriously.

“The Coast Guard will continue to prioritize strengthening our domestic integrity and disrupting attempts to enter the United States illegally by sea,” Carter stated in a press release.

“We are steadfast in our mission to safeguard America by securing our maritime borders.”

Once on board the Coast Guard vessel, the migrants were provided food, water, and medical attention before being repatriated to Haiti, according to the agency’s report.

Since October 1, a total of 313 Haitian migrants have been sent back after attempting to reach the U.S. illegally. These numbers underscore the ongoing challenges at the border, something President Donald Trump has vowed to tackle head-on since returning to office last month.

Under Trump’s leadership, immigration enforcement has ramped up significantly. The Coast Guard has expanded its efforts to stop illegal crossings, ensuring that migrants intercepted at sea don’t make it onto U.S. soil.

In addition to the maritime operation, federal officials also launched another round of their Alien Expulsion Flight Operation on Monday.

These flights are transporting detained migrants from across the country to Texas and California, where they are processed and sent back to their home countries.

Authorities say this crackdown is part of a broader strategy to restore order at the border.

“Through these ongoing operations, the Coast Guard is detecting, deterring and interdicting aliens, drug smugglers and individuals intent on terrorism or other hostile activity before they reach the border,” officials noted in a separate release on Tuesday.

“The Coast Guard’s current role is to assist with the national transport of aliens to designated locations in Texas and California, where the Department of Defense will transport the aliens internationally.”

With President Trump back in charge, the days of weak enforcement and open-border policies are over. The administration is making it clear: illegal crossings—whether by land or by sea—will not be tolerated.

The war in Ukraine has been going on for years. And we’ve been had for billions of dollars.

Now Trump issued this demand to Ukraine that could change everything.

President Trump has revealed that Ukraine has “essentially agreed” to provide the United States with rare earth minerals valued at half a trillion dollars in return for the extensive military aid Washington has funneled into Kyiv.

Speaking with Fox News’ Bret Baier on Special Report in an interview recorded before Sunday’s Super Bowl, Trump underscored the immense value of Ukraine’s natural resources and made it clear that the U.S. should not be left empty-handed after sending Ukraine hundreds of billions of dollars in support.

“They have tremendously valuable land in terms of rare earth [minerals], in terms of oil and gas, in terms of other things. I want to have our money secured, because we’re spending hundreds of billions of dollars [in Ukraine],” Trump stated.

The 78-year-old former president emphasized that American access to Ukraine’s resources should not be contingent on the outcome of any peace deal between Kyiv and Moscow.

He pointed out that the U.S. contributions to Ukraine’s war effort far exceed those of other nations, making it only fair for America to secure something in return.

“They may make a deal. They may not make a deal. They may be Russian someday, or they may not be Russian someday. But we’re going to have all this money in [Ukraine] and I say, I want it back,” Trump asserted.

Trump then disclosed a key detail about negotiations, stating, “I told them that I want the equivalent of like $500 billion worth of rare earth [minerals], and they’ve essentially agreed to do that.”

Reaffirming his stance against what he sees as reckless spending, Trump continued:

“I said to them, ‘We have to — we have to get something. We can’t continue to pay this money,’” calling the idea of pouring aid into Ukraine without a return “stupid.”

Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky appeared open to a resource-sharing arrangement with the U.S., particularly in the context of securing long-term security assurances.

“If we are talking about a deal, then let’s do a deal, we are only for it,” Zelensky told Reuters on Friday.

“We need to stop [Russian President Vladimir] Putin and protect what we have — a very rich Dnipro region [in] central Ukraine.”

Ukraine is home to approximately 5% of the world’s mineral resources, including crucial materials such as titanium, uranium, iron, manganese, lithium, and the rare earth elements considered essential to U.S. national security.

Trump also expressed optimism about a potential resolution to the war, saying, “I think it’s going to happen.”

“I think we’ve made tremendous progress in the last week. We’re dealing with the Russians. We’re dealing with the Ukrainians. I think there’s going to be something,” he added.

A high-level U.S. delegation led by Vice President JD Vance and Trump’s special envoy to Ukraine and Russia, retired Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg, is expected to meet with Zelensky at the Munich Security Conference this week to discuss a potential path to ending the nearly three-year-long conflict.

There is no shortage of people who want to get rid of Trump. And they’re willing to stoop to any low.

Now a close call assassination attempt on Trump is sending shockwaves through Washington, D.C.

Iran’s threats to assassinate President Donald Trump have been far more serious than publicly acknowledged, according to an upcoming book.

These chilling warnings, which haunted Trump throughout his campaign and beyond, reportedly involved Iranian operatives inside the U.S. with access to surface-to-air missiles—raising fears that “Trump Force One” could be targeted during takeoff or landing.

Axios reporter Isaac Isenstadt’s forthcoming book, Revenge: The Inside Story of Trump’s Return to Power, claims that law enforcement officials warned Trump in 2024 about the Iranian threat, leaving his team on high alert. In an article previewing his book, Isenstadt reported that Trump’s inner circle feared Tehran was actively plotting an attack on the former president as he traveled the country campaigning.

The threat reportedly reached a boiling point in September 2024, when a second assassination attempt on Trump was foiled at his golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida. Isenstadt, who interviewed key figures within Trump’s campaign, detailed the intense security concerns surrounding Trump’s safety.

Now, back in the White House for his second term, Trump isn’t mincing words when it comes to Iran. In February 2025, while signing an executive order ramping up pressure on Tehran, he revealed he had already left specific instructions in case anything happened to him.

“That would be a terrible thing for them to do,” Trump warned on Feb. 4 about any Iranian assassination attempts. “If they did that, they would be obliterated. That would be the end.… There won’t be anything left.”

Trump’s tough stance on Iran is nothing new. During his first presidency, he withdrew from the disastrous Iran nuclear deal and reinstated crippling sanctions, further straining relations between Washington and Tehran.

The 47th president has already survived two assassination attempts in 2024. The first, in Butler, Pennsylvania, left him with an ear injury after shooter Thomas Crooks fired into a crowd of Trump supporters.

While no direct link to Iran has been established in that case, the Florida suspect, Ryan Wesley Routh, had written a book in 2023 calling on Iran to assassinate Trump, according to an Associated Press report.

The dangers surrounding Trump’s campaign trail were no secret to his staff. In a harrowing revelation, senior advisor Chris LaCivita reportedly told Trump Force One staffers, “The boss ain’t riding with us today. We had to put him into another plane. This is nothing but a sort of test for how things may happen in the future.”

Staff members, fearing they could become “collateral damage” if the plane was targeted, dubbed the trip “Ghost Flight.” According to the book, some nervously joked about the deadly seriousness of the threat, with one aide saying, “some serious s—.”

Despite Tehran’s denials, the Justice Department announced in November 2024 that it had foiled an Iranian-backed assassination plot against Trump, charging a suspected Iranian government asset in a murder-for-hire scheme. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian tried to downplay the situation in January 2025, claiming his country “never” planned to target Trump and “never will.”

Meanwhile, Trump’s team has been fighting to uncover the full truth about the threats he faced.

The president recently told the New York Post that he had instructed the Secret Service to release “every bit of information” regarding the two assassination attempts in Florida and Pennsylvania—information he says was deliberately withheld by the Biden administration.

“I want to find out about the two assassins,” Trump stated. “Why did the one guy have six cellphones, and why did the other guy have [foreign] apps?”

“I’m entitled to know. And they held it back long enough,” he continued, slamming the Biden administration for its lack of transparency. “No more excuses.”

Even now, as Trump moves forward with his second term, the threats against him remain a stark reminder of the dangers he faces. But if history has proven anything, it’s that Donald Trump doesn’t back down—no matter who is coming after him.

The battle between the media and the White House is back in full-swing. But the President has the upper hand.

And now, Trump ruthlessly tore apart this reporter for making the dumbest statement ever.

President Donald Trump took a shot at the struggling liberal news outlet HuffPost, mocking its relevance and suggesting he thought it had already faded into obscurity.

The exchange came Sunday during a press conference on Air Force One, where a reporter questioned Trump about statements made by Vice President JD Vance regarding judicial overreach.

“JD Vance suggested that if the Supreme Court rules in a way that you don’t like, they could just enforce it by themselves,” the reporter asked Trump. “Do you agree with that?”

The question stemmed from Vance’s firm stance against judicial interference in executive power.

The vice president had made it clear that judges have no authority to dictate how the executive branch operates.

“Judges aren’t allowed to control the executive’s legitimate power,” Vance wrote on X.

“If a judge tried to tell a general how to conduct a military operation, that would be illegal. If a judge tried to command the attorney general in how to use her discretion as a prosecutor, that’s also illegal.”

When pressed on the matter, Trump dismissed the controversy outright.

“I don’t even know what you’re talking about,” he fired back at the reporter. “Neither do you. Who are you with?”

When the reporter revealed he worked for HuffPost, Trump didn’t hold back. “Oh, no wonder,” he said. “I thought they— I thought they died. Are they still around? I haven’t read them in years. I thought they died.”

Stung by Trump’s comments, HuffPost scrambled to respond.

A spokesperson tried to spin the moment, telling Fox News Digital, “His loss — perhaps his biggest since 2020. Millions of Americans are tuning into HuffPost’s coverage to stay informed about the consequences of Trump’s presidency.”

But the real issue at hand was judicial activism, something Trump has repeatedly called out.

When asked directly about a federal court ruling that blocked the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing the Treasury Department’s systems, Trump didn’t mince words.

“No, I disagree with it 100%,” he told Fox News host Bret Baier.

“I think it’s crazy. And we have to solve the efficiency problem. We have to solve the fraud, waste, abuse— all the things that have gone into the government. You take a look at USAID, the kind of fraud in there.”

The Court has been rattled from attacks. But the damage could already be done.

Now this Supreme Court Justice betrayed the Court in a shocking confession.

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor took aim at the Court’s 2024 presidential immunity ruling in her first public appearance since the start of President Trump’s second term, warning that the decision puts the Court’s legitimacy at risk.

Speaking in Louisville, Kentucky, Sotomayor fielded questions on a range of topics, including public trust in the Court. It marked her first public remarks since Trump returned to the White House last month, and she wasted no time criticizing the ruling.

“If we as a court go so much further ahead of people, our legitimacy is going to be questioned,” she cautioned. “I think the immunity case is one of those situations. I don’t think that Americans have accepted that anyone should be above the law in America. Our equality as people was the foundation of our society and of our Constitution.”

The 6-3 ruling in Trump v. United States determined that a former president has substantial immunity from prosecution for official acts but not for unofficial ones. It was a major blow to Special Counsel Jack Smith’s election interference case, which had attempted to charge Trump with a variety of crimes stemming from his post-2020 election actions.

Sotomayor, who authored the dissent joined by liberal Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson, lashed out at the decision, calling it a “mockery” of constitutional principles.

“Never in the history of our Republic has a President had reason to believe that he would be immune from criminal prosecution if he used the trappings of his office to violate the criminal law,” she argued.

Her dissent took a particularly dramatic tone, warning that “moving forward, however, all former Presidents will be cloaked in such immunity” and claiming that if a president “misuses official power for personal gain, the criminal law that the rest of us must abide will not provide a backstop.” She concluded with a dire pronouncement: “With fear for our democracy, I dissent.”

Sotomayor made it clear that she took the ruling personally, telling the Louisville audience that she “had a hard time with the immunity case” and insisting that the Constitution does not exempt presidents from prosecution once out of office.

She then escalated her warnings about the Court’s future, suggesting that its credibility is at stake if it continues along the current path.

“And if we continue going in directions that the public is going to find hard to understand, we’re placing the court at risk,” she said.

Despite her dire predictions, the White House dismissed the criticism, with a spokesperson telling Fox News Digital, “This historic 6-3 ruling speaks for itself.”

Sotomayor also implied that the Court’s recent decisions—including its landmark reversals of Roe v. Wade, affirmative action, and the Chevron doctrine—were destabilizing the country.

“I think that creates instability in the society, in people’s perception of law and people’s perception of whether we’re doing things because of legal analysis or because of partisan views,” she claimed, though she stopped short of directly accusing her conservative colleagues of partisanship.

This isn’t the first time Sotomayor has voiced frustration with the Court’s direction. In 2023, following the Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v. Wade, she admitted to feeling “a sense of despair” over the ruling, though she did not reference the case by name.

Still, she insisted she would not give up the fight.

“It’s not an option to fall into despair,” she declared. “I have to get up and keep fighting.”

While Sotomayor’s rhetoric may resonate with progressives, her increasingly emotional critiques of the Court’s rulings suggest that the left’s frustration is reaching a boiling point as Trump’s Supreme Court reshapes the legal landscape.

The mainstream media never learns. They can’t best Trump no matter how hard they try.

Now CNN went completely insane in a stunning display of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Comedian Amber Ruffin has been tapped as the entertainer for this year’s White House Correspondent Association dinner—but in a candid CNN interview, she made one thing crystal clear: she doesn’t want the president to attend.

With the dinner scheduled for April, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told the *Daily Caller* on Wednesday that both she and President Donald Trump are still mulling over their attendance. (Notably, Trump skipped the event during his first term.)

On CNN, Ruffin sat down with host Jake Tapper and expressed her doubts about the overall excitement for the event. She even went as far as saying she isn’t planning to share her jokes with even those she agrees with, remarking that she doesn’t think anyone is “looking forward” to being there.

“So U.S. presidents traditionally attend this dinner. However, Donald Trump never went to it during his first term in office. Do you want him to be there this year?” Tapper asked Ruffin.

“No. Don’t anybody want to know — No one wants that. Sure, it’s something to do. But, I can’t imagine he would. I can’t imagine he would. He should. He’s missing out on one of the cool things about being the President of the United States. But I don’t know that anyone’s looking forward to being in the same room as him,” Ruffin explained.

Leavitt later described Ruffin as “certainly an interesting choice” when asked about the White House’s reaction to her being selected.

This comes on the heels of Ruffin’s previous biting comment, where she once called Trump a “toddler with his pants pulled down.”

The conversation then took a lighter turn as Tapper inquired whether any past hosts had given Ruffin advice for navigating the night. Laughing, she recalled:

“They also said that you have to make fun of everybody. You can’t just make fun of the people you disagree with, you have to spread it out evenly. And I am not going to do that. Maybe I will do it a little bit, probably not.”

The decision to name Ruffin as the dinner’s entertainer was announced on Tuesday by WHCA President and Politico reporter Eugene Daniels. In his statement, he lauded Ruffin’s selection, stating:

“Amber’s unique talents are the ideal fit for this current political and cultural climate. Her perspective will fit right in with the dinner’s tradition of honoring the freedom of the press while roasting the most powerful people on all sides of the aisle and the journalists who cover them.”

He continued, “This dinner is about centering the importance of a functioning democracy and Amber is the type of entertainer who understands both the significance of that mission as well as the mechanics of power in this country.”

When asked about her approach for the evening, Ruffin revealed she plans to be completely honest about her feelings.

“I think I’m going to do it the same way I always do it, by just telling the truth about how I feel,” she said.

“I feel like we all feel a little sad. Well, some of us feel pretty happy. But a lot of us feel a little sad. And I think it’s OK to say exactly what it is that’s making us feel this way.”

“And I think when you do that, and people feel the same way as you, they think that it is fun and funny and it feels good to hear, and that’s kind of where I operate from,” she added.

In her own inimitable style, Ruffin is gearing up to bring her signature blend of wit and honesty to the dinner—proving that sometimes, speaking from the heart is the best way to handle even the most high-profile events.
