Democrat operative makes a disgusting threat towards Trump’s family

Leftists are full of heinous ideas. But this might take the cake.

And a Democrat operative made a disgusting threat towards Trump’s family.

James Carville, the aging Democratic strategist who once haunted the Clinton era, unleashed a tirade so vicious on the “Politicon” podcast that it exposed the raw venom coursing through the party’s veins

This was no ordinary political jab. It was a full-throated declaration of war against President Donald Trump, his family, and anyone daring to stand with the America First movement.

Carville didn’t mince words as he fantasized about a Democratic sweep in the midterms. He painted a picture of total domination, where Trump would be left bloodied and broken while the left’s inquisitors sharpened their knives.

“Listen to me Trump I’m going to tell your fat f*cking a** something you’re getting ready to get the living crap kicked out of you. You don’t know because they haven’t really told you. And let me tell you something, they’re going to take them to start breaking the news to you kind of gently, and you’re going to sit there and wonder what it feels like to be punched in the mouth by Mike Tyson,” Carville stated.

“But you won’t know because it’s quite one thing to imagine what it’s like to get punched in the mouth by Mike Tyson. It’s another thing to get punched in the mouth by Mike Tyson. And that’s what’s going to happen to you in November.”

The profanity-laced attack wasn’t just ugly—it revealed the left’s obsession with personal destruction over policy. While Trump fights to secure borders, slash regulations, and restore American strength, Carville and his crowd dream of courtroom ambushes and media pile-ons.

This is the face of the resistance: bitter, crude, and utterly detached from the working families who propelled Trump back to the White House.

Carville kept the threats coming, shifting from election night doom to the long grind of post-election revenge. He mocked the idea that Trump could still wield influence, insisting the president would soon become a ghost in Washington.

It was classic elitist talk, the kind that dismisses millions of voters as yesterday’s news the moment their champion faces resistance.

“Now let me tell you about let’s talk about your future, your post November 31st. People are not going to return your phone calls. They’re going to correctly think you’re yesterday. They’ll say, well, he’s got two years left. He can do damage. No one gives a sh*t about him,” Carville said.

“The Democrats are going to investigate you to no end. I would like to introduce you to Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, D, Rhode Island.”

He then turned his fire toward the next targets: Trump’s children and their spouses. The strategist described a coordinated assault that would leave no family member untouched, all under the guise of rooting out supposed corruption.

This family-first vendetta strikes at the heart of what conservatives hold dear—loyalty to kin, not loyalty to the swamp.

“Congressman Jeffries and Senator Schumer, they’re going to go down to the White House on November 10th. And then you’re going to have some stiff photo of them sitting there, talking about collegiality and cooperation. Don’t believe that bullsh*t. Then start going after you. Then they to start figuring out where all the money stolen is from,” Carville continued.

“Then they’re going to go after you stupid jack*ss kids and their spouses and all of the bullsh*t that you see, and they’re going to investigate sh*t out of you. And then when it comes to this stuff, you’re doing in Iran, I got to tell you, you’re getting really, really, really close to war crimes here. You’re probably going to cross the line.”

This rant isn’t isolated bluster from a washed-up operative. It lays bare the Democratic establishment’s endgame: turn the machinery of government into a weapon against political enemies.

Nancy Pelosi reveals an evil election scheme on live TV

Pelosi needs to retire already. Americans are sick of her poor leadership.

And Nancy Pelosi revealed an evil election scheme on live TV.

Democrat icon Nancy Pelosi just went on national television and did what the left does best: accuse their opponents of the very dirty tricks they’ve been accused of over the years.

On MS NOW’s Way Too Early, the former Speaker of the House was asked point blank about the 2026 midterms. Reporter Ali Vitali wanted to know if Pelosi had any worries that Republicans might actually win back the House despite her rosy predictions for Democrats.

“Always. We always have concerns,” Pelosi shot back, revealing the anxiety gripping her party just months before voters head to the polls.

She then rattled off the usual Democrat playbook for “protecting” elections through lawsuits, new laws, and get-out-the-vote schemes. But she quickly pivoted to something far more sinister.

“But in addition to that, we have to be on guard as to what they may try to do to the technology. They may try to creep into the technology and create a false count,” Pelosi warned, pointing the finger squarely at Republicans.

This isn’t just baseless fear-mongering from a lifelong politician who has spent decades in Washington. It’s a classic case of the left projecting their own history of election meddling onto the very people fighting to clean up the system.

For years, conservatives have demanded paper ballots, voter ID, and same-day voting to make sure every legal ballot counts and no illegal ones sneak through.

Yet here comes Pelosi, floating wild claims about Republicans tampering with vote-counting machines as if the GOP invented election chaos.

The timing couldn’t be more telling. With President Trump’s America First movement still dominating the national conversation and everyday working families rejecting the radical policies coming out of Washington, Democrats are already bracing for another red wave.

Instead of addressing why voters keep turning against them, Pelosi and her allies prefer to paint Republicans as some shadowy cabal out to steal democracy itself.

She saved her sharpest attack for the end, zeroing in on voting methods that have long been a flashpoint.

“There’s so many things that the Republicans will try to do to disrupt an election can be avoided with early voting, by vote, by mail, which the president says is cheating, except he voted by mail and his family voted by mail in this last election, which he lost in Florida,” Pelosi declared.

Talk about hypocrisy on steroids. Democrats spent years pushing mail-in voting as the gold standard during the last cycle, even as concerns mounted about unsecured ballots, signature verification failures, and drop boxes that invited tampering.

Now Pelosi wants to pretend those same methods are the only way to stop Republican interference, all while mocking the president for using mail-in options himself in Florida. The selective outrage is breathtaking.

Marco Rubio makes shocking NATO membership announcement that changes everything

America’s allies are giving us the cold shoulder. It may be time to rethink things.

Now Marco Rubio made a shocking NATO membership announcement that changes everything.

Rubio Signals Potential Reassessment of U.S. Role in NATO

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has indicated that the United States may need to reevaluate its membership in NATO following reports that European allies denied American forces access to their military bases and airspace for operations in the ongoing conflict with Iran. Rubio, who once strongly supported the alliance during his time in the Senate, described the situation as highlighting an imbalance in the relationship.

Rubio’s Comments on Alliance Dynamics

Appearing on Fox News, Rubio addressed the issue directly:

“If now we have reached a point where the NATO alliance means we can’t use those bases to defend America’s interests, then NATO is a one way street.”

He added:

“If NATO is simply about us having troops in Europe to defend Europe, but when we need them to allow us to use their military bases, their answer is no – then why are we in NATO?”

Rubio noted that a final decision on continued U.S. participation would rest with President Trump, stating:

“So I think there’s no doubt, unfortunately, after this conflict is concluded, we are going to have to reexamine that relationship.”

This comes amid the U.S.-led military campaign against Iran, where Rubio outlined progress toward key objectives, including degradation of Iran’s air force, navy, missile capabilities, and defense industrial base. He indicated that operations are advancing on or ahead of schedule, with a potential end in sight.

Context of the Iran Conflict and Transatlantic Relations

The denial of base access occurred during active U.S. strikes targeting Iranian military assets. President Trump has publicly described the engagement as a test of allied loyalty, noting that European partners provided limited support in related efforts, such as efforts to secure the Strait of Hormuz. In comments last week, Trump suggested that European nations may need to assume greater responsibility for their own defense moving forward.

Rubio’s remarks reflect broader questions about burden-sharing within NATO, a topic long debated across administrations. Proponents of the alliance emphasize collective defense and shared security interests, while critics argue that the U.S. has shouldered a disproportionate share of costs and responsibilities for decades. The current situation has brought these longstanding concerns into sharper focus as the U.S. conducts operations in a strategically vital region.

Both sides of the debate agree that effective alliances require mutual support during times of need. As the Iran conflict progresses and post-conflict assessments begin, discussions about the future structure and expectations of NATO are likely to intensify. The administration has indicated that any review would prioritize American national interests while considering the alliance’s overall strategic value.

Democrats hatch crackpot scheme to make Americans’ lives worse

The Left can’t just be content. They always have to mess with everything.

Now Democrats hatched a crackpot scheme to make Americans’ lives worse.

Colorado Democrats Double Down on Government Overreach

Colorado Democrats are once again showing their fondness for micromanaging everyday life, this time by targeting something as basic as napkins and sauce packets in your food delivery orders. State Sen. Lisa Cutter and State Rep. Meg Froelich, both Democrats, introduced Senate Bill 26-146 on March 24, 2026.

If passed, the measure would kick in at the start of 2027 and slap restaurants and delivery services like DoorDash with fines for daring to include single-use items without explicit customer approval.

The Napkin Ban and Its Petty Rules

Under the proposed law, retail food establishments and third-party delivery platforms would be barred from providing napkins, utensils, straws, cup sleeves, or a long list of condiments—including ketchup, mustard, hot sauce, creamer, sugar, and even hoisin sauce in some cases—unless the customer specifically requests them or confirms they want them.

The bill expands on earlier “plastic pollution” rules pushed by the same lawmakers and comes with civil penalties that can reach $500 for a second offense or $1,000 for repeat violations.

Critics quickly pointed out the absurdity. Former Colorado Republican Party Chair Kristi Burton Brown slammed the proposal on X, calling it “the 2026 edition of the most ridiculous bill run in Colorado… Meet SB26-146, the NAPKIN BAN.”

She highlighted how Taco Bell could face fines for tossing in a napkin or hot sauce packet without permission, while certain other sauces might slip through depending on arbitrary lists drawn up by lawmakers who apparently don’t eat at every type of restaurant.

Burton Brown added that the bill even restricts cup sleeves on hot coffee, forcing customers to risk burns “in the name of saving the planet,” and warned that delivery mix-ups could punish both restaurants and platforms under “socialist rule at its finest.”

Another Example of Virtue-Signaling Nanny Statism

Democrats behind the bill claim customers are “increasingly frustrated” with extra single-use items and that most aren’t recyclable anyway, so forcing an opt-in system will magically cut waste and save businesses money.

This comes on the heels of their 2021 Plastic Pollution Reduction Act, which already banned plastic bags and foam containers.

In reality, the legislation reveals a deeper pattern: Colorado Democrats love using the heavy hand of government to lecture citizens and small businesses about their personal choices, all while pretending it’s for the greater environmental good.

Instead of focusing on real issues like affordability or public safety, they’re busy crafting rules that complicate simple takeout orders and punish convenience.

With comfortable majorities in the state legislature, they seem determined to keep expanding the nanny state—one napkin at a time—rather than trusting Coloradans to manage their own condiments and trash.

This kind of intrusive policymaking only fuels frustration with out-of-touch Democratic priorities.

Nancy Pelosi melts down on live TV over these Republicans

It’s past time that Pelosi retires. She’s pretty much lost it.

And Nancy Pelosi melted down on live TV over these Republicans.

During an appearance on MS NOW’s Chris Jansing Reports, longtime Democrat power broker Nancy Pelosi unleashed a tirade that laid bare the left’s deep fear of accountability at the ballot box.

The California congresswoman didn’t mince words when she accused President Donald Trump and the GOP of having “no commitment to the rule of law.”

Her comments came in response to a question about potential safeguards for the upcoming midterms, including the possibility of ICE agents monitoring polling sites and efforts to tighten rules on mail-in ballots and redistricting.

Democrats, it seems, are already bracing for a fight they know they cannot win on the merits of their policies.

When pressed on whether she worried about the integrity of the vote itself, Pelosi admitted, “Always. We always have concerns.”

She quickly pivoted to her familiar attack line, insisting that under this president and these Republicans, the party must stay vigilant because they supposedly lack any respect for proper procedures.

Yet the real story here is the Democrats’ transparent dread that everyday Americans might finally have a say without interference from activist judges or unchecked postal ballots.

Pelosi then outlined what she called the Democrats’ three-point plan heading into the elections: “We have three purposes now. One is to win the midterms. Two is to make sure the elections are safe. And three, to tell people what we will do when we win. And that is that is the mission.”

Notice how “safe elections” in Pelosi-speak really means elections rigged in their favor, where any effort to verify citizenship or prevent fraud gets labeled as suppression.

This is the same party that spent years screaming about “threats to democracy” while cheering open borders and lawlessness in America’s cities.

The hypocrisy reached new heights when the conversation turned to the recent standoff over funding the Department of Homeland Security.

Pelosi revealed the Democrats’ true priorities when she explained their position on the shutdown: “We were prepared to vote for what the Senate did, which was exactly what you described, which was to to vote for a Department of Homeland Security, except ICE, that’s what the Senate voted for in a bipartisan way.”

“We were thinking the next day that we would probably be voting for that, except the Republicans said they wouldn’t do that. So when you’re saying what isn’t enough, go ask them.”

In other words, Democrats were ready to fund everything at the border except the very agency tasked with enforcing immigration law and protecting American sovereignty.

They wanted a Department of Homeland Security stripped of its teeth, a hollow bureaucracy unable to do the job voters demanded when they elected Trump.

This isn’t about rule of law; it’s about Democrats’ refusal to accept that Americans are fed up with unchecked illegal immigration and the crime and chaos that follows.

Pelosi’s willingness to defund the very enforcers of those laws proves once again that the Democrat establishment views American workers and families as an afterthought.

Ben Shapiro was forced into a corner for one huge flip-flop

Ben Shapiro was forced into a corner for one huge flip-flop

Shapiro is a staple of conservative politics. But the infighting is getting too big to notice.

And now Ben Shapiro was forced into a corner for one huge flip-flop.

Shifting Positions on U.S. Involvement in the Iran Conflict

As tensions with Iran have escalated into open conflict, conservative commentator Ben Shapiro has drawn significant attention for comments on potential U.S. military actions. In an op-ed published on March 19, 2026, Shapiro advocated for targeted strikes against Iran and expressed confidence that such measures would not escalate into a broader ground war. He also downplayed concerns about disruptions to the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments that has since been effectively closed amid the fighting.

On March 26, Shapiro adjusted his outlook, acknowledging a longer-term commitment might be necessary. He suggested U.S. forces consider seizing Kharg Island, Iran’s main oil export terminal responsible for over 90 percent of the country’s crude exports, while arguing that fears of heavy American casualties in such an operation were overstated.

These remarks came against the backdrop of ongoing U.S. military deployments, including additional troops under consideration by the Pentagon alongside thousands of Marines, sailors, and members of the 82nd Airborne Division already sent to the region.

Military Policy Changes Coincide with Public Debate

In a related development, the U.S. Army announced it is raising the maximum enlistment age from 35 to 42, with the change set to take effect on April 20, 2026. The service is also easing certain restrictions on recruits with prior marijuana-related convictions. These adjustments aim to expand the pool of potential volunteers amid heightened operational demands.

The timing of the policy shift prompted numerous reactions online, with some users linking it to broader discussions about military readiness and the human costs of potential escalations.

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) faced criticism from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle after likening a possible operation on Kharg Island to the Battle of Iwo Jima, a reference that drew pushback from Rep. Nancy Mace (R-South Carolina), who noted the historical scale of casualties in that World War II engagement.

Social Media Backlash Highlights Divisions Over Foreign Policy

Shapiro’s evolving comments triggered a wave of mockery and criticism on X (formerly Twitter). Users accused him of moving the goalposts on the scope of U.S. involvement, with several posts sarcastically urging him to enlist personally given the new higher enlistment age limit.

The backlash reflected deeper divisions within public discourse about the appropriate level of American engagement in the Iran conflict, including debates over the risks of ground operations versus airstrikes and the potential for prolonged involvement.

Supporters of Shapiro’s perspective argue that decisive action may be required to address Iranian threats, while critics emphasize the need for clear strategic objectives and awareness of historical precedents for difficult military campaigns.

The episode underscores ongoing debates about the balance between national security interests and the implications for U.S. forces and resources.

“This war has not been thought through,” some former officials have observed, while others, including Shapiro, have countered that targeted measures could weaken the Iranian regime and potentially open pathways for longer-term change in the region. As developments continue, the conversation highlights the complexities of responding to international crises in a polarized media environment.

Republican senator makes one demand of Trump that has everyone flabbergasted

Some members of the GOP are getting impatient. They aren’t shy about that either.

And this Republican senator made one demand of Trump that has everyone flabbergasted.

Sen. Ted Budd didn’t hold back during Thursday’s broadcast of Bloomberg’s Balance of Power. The North Carolina Republican laid out exactly why the Trump administration must deliver concrete details to Congress on its Iran strategy and any possible troop moves in the Middle East.

The discussion spotlighted real irritation from Senate Armed Services Chairman Roger Wicker and House Armed Services Chairman Mike Rogers, both of whom walked away from recent briefings feeling stonewalled on the options being weighed.

Co-host Kailey Leinz pressed Budd on the issue, noting the administration’s need for some public caution while asking whether full disclosure to elected officials is still required.

“They do, and that’s why we’re Article I in the Constitution. Article II, the president and the administration are supposed to work with us on such matters. If they’re going to come to us for a supplemental, they need to be letting us know about these things. And this is a classified setting,” Budd said in response.

“But I’ll also say, in defense of the administration, you have to have a Congress that you can trust. When we go into those classified settings, you see members occasionally go out and talk to the press. We want to be open with the press, but not with things that we hear in a classified setting.”

“So, the administration needs to make sure that they can trust Congress, and individual elected officials need to make sure that they’re keeping classified things classified. But we do need more information. The administration, the Pentagon are going to work much quicker than Congress will, by design, but they need to have a good flow of information. So, I understand what Chairmen Wicker and Rogers are concerned about.”

This candid admission highlights a core challenge facing President Trump’s team: balancing the demand for swift action against rogue regimes like Iran with the reality of a Congress that sometimes struggles to keep its own house in order.

The senator’s defense of the administration makes perfect sense in an era where leaks from Capitol Hill have compromised sensitive operations time and again.

Right-leaning voters have long grown tired of politicians who prioritize media soundbites over national security, and Budd’s warning serves as a wake-up call for every elected official to act with integrity.

At the same time, his insistence on better information flow shows why the legislative branch must fulfill its oversight role without turning into an obstacle for decisive leadership.

President Trump has proven he can move faster than the typical Washington machinery, and that speed is exactly what Americans voted for when they chose an outsider to confront threats abroad.

Yet without proper coordination on funding requests, even the most determined administration risks getting bogged down in procedural delays.

For too long, endless foreign entanglements have drained American resources while the homeland faces its own crises, and this exchange makes clear the need for a smarter approach rooted in constitutional principles.

Deep blue state is facing major heat after what this Republican revealed

Deep blue state is facing major heat after what this Republican revealed

Blue states are in a rough spot. They are failing at almost every level.

And this deep blue state is facing major heat after what this Republican revealed.

House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer is sounding the alarm on a massive government funding scandal ripping off American taxpayers, and this time the epicenter is deep in blue state California.

On Tuesday night’s edition of Fox News Channel’s Hannity, Comer laid bare how the Golden State’s waste and abuse makes recent Minnesota revelations look like pocket change.

Independent journalist Nick Shirley first cracked open the corruption in Minneapolis, but his follow-up work in California has uncovered a racket so enormous it defies belief.

“Look, Nick Shirley, you know, broke this story in Minneapolis,” Sean Hannity stated. “He struck again in California. How much money are we looking at here, and where is your investigation going?”

Comer didn’t mince words. The scale in California is staggering, and the Oversight team is just getting started.

“You could multiply what we found in Minnesota probably by 10 in California. That’s how bad it is. And what we’re hoping in this investigation is we have the same success we had in Minnesota with whistleblowers coming forward, reaching out to me or other Oversight Committee members to sit down and do transcribed interviews so that we can finally figure out who’s responsible for this fraud,” Comer stated.

“What we know in California just with respect to hospice — of all the government entities, hospice is the one that I don’t think there would be anyone out there that wouldn’t have full support for hospice at our worst time of need. Hospice alone, $3.5 billion just in Los Angeles County.”

Even hospice care, the very program meant to comfort families during their darkest hours, has become a golden ticket for grifters in California. The numbers Comer dropped should make every working American’s blood boil.

“And what that amounts to, Sean, is the whole hospice budget for the United States last year, 18% of all the billing was in Los Angeles County, and that’s not 18% of the population of America,” Comer added.

“In that one county and it’s a big county, 18% of the entire billing for the United States. It is rampant in California, and Gavin Newsom knew it and hasn’t done a thing about it.”

This isn’t some minor accounting error. Los Angeles County alone swallowed nearly one-fifth of the entire nation’s hospice spending last year, despite representing a tiny slice of the American population. Hardworking families from coast to coast are footing the bill while Democrat insiders and their cronies line their pockets.

The pattern is unmistakable. Blue state machines like California’s have turned federal programs into personal piggy banks, siphoning off cash that should go to veterans, seniors, or border security. Instead, it vanishes into a black hole of fake claims and no-show services.

Comer’s committee scored major wins in Minnesota by empowering brave whistleblowers who stepped forward with the truth. Now the same playbook is unfolding in California, and patriots across the country are watching closely.

This scandal strikes at the heart of what millions of voters are fed up with: a ruling class that preaches compassion while enabling outright theft from the public treasury. Hospice should be sacred ground for families facing the end of life, not a slush fund for fraudsters.

Democrat Eric Swalwell’s ties to Chinese spies revealed in shocking receipts

Swalwell wants to be the next governor of California. But this could end his career in its tracks.

Now Democrat Eric Swalwell’s ties to Chinese spies revealed in shocking receipts.

Swalwell’s Weak Dodges: Still Haunting Ties to Chinese Spy

California Rep. Eric Swalwell, the embattled Democrat now eyeing a run for governor, finally broke his silence on the long-simmering scandal involving a suspected Chinese intelligence operative who infiltrated his inner circle — but his defense amounted to little more than petulant dismissals and blame-shifting.

Dismissing Serious Espionage Concerns as “Bullshit”

Christine Fang, also known as “Fang Fang,” cultivated close ties with Swalwell starting when he was a Dublin city council member.

She bundled donations for his 2014 reelection campaign, recommended staff for his office, and developed an uncomfortably close relationship with the rising Democrat. U.S. officials have long viewed her as a Chinese spy running a classic influence operation targeting up-and-coming politicians.

In a recent podcast interview, Swalwell waved away the entire episode with contempt: “The air was cleared immediately by the FBI when there was even a suggestion of wrongdoing.” He doubled down, calling the persistent questions “bullshit,” “lies,” and insisting “defamation is the highest form of flattery.”

He added, “Independent folks have said enough on this,” and claimed the FBI praised him for cooperating once the threat was identified.

Yet the timing raises fresh eyebrows: Swalwell’s campaign shelled out roughly $305,000 in “legal services” payments to a white-collar defense firm between 2016 and 2023 — right around the period when the scandal erupted and House Ethics probes loomed. His team insists the money was needed to shield staff from supposed “retaliatory investigations” by Trump, but the hefty sum smells more like damage control for self-inflicted wounds.

Reckless Judgment and the China Problem

Swalwell was hit with a defensive FBI briefing in 2015 shortly after joining the House Intelligence Committee — the very panel handling America’s most sensitive secrets. He wasn’t immediately booted, but then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy later triggered an Ethics Committee review.

Swalwell’s response? Blame the process: “Kevin McCarthy wanted to create a thing… There’s nothing I can do if someone is just trying to do the president’s bidding.”

This isn’t ancient history. The Fang Fang saga continues to dog Swalwell’s ambitions, resurfacing amid his gubernatorial bid and drawing fresh mockery — including from Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy, who bluntly noted that voters prefer politicians “not to get tricked by foreign spies.”

Swalwell’s casual brush-off of legitimate national security red flags fits a troubling pattern for this Democrat: questionable judgment on China, reflexive partisan attacks, and an inability to own up to obvious lapses.

While he claims full clearance, the persistent cloud of a Chinese honeytrap operation infiltrating a future Intelligence Committee member underscores why many Americans view Swalwell — and the party that continues to elevate him — with deep skepticism. In an era of aggressive CCP espionage, voters deserve leaders with sharper instincts, not slick deflections and expensive legal firewalls.

Democrat congressman makes a stunning confession about President Trump

Trump won’t believe it. This is a wild turn of events.

And this Democrat congressman made a stunning confession about President Trump.

A Democratic congressman from Tennessee just dropped a bombshell on live television by admitting that President Donald Trump deserves at least some credit for the falling crime rates in Memphis.

This rare moment of honesty unfolded on Monday during the broadcast of CNN News Central, as Rep. Steve Cohen discussed the situation in his own district.

The co-host Sara Sidner pressed him directly on the issue, asking if he would acknowledge Trump’s contribution to the improvements.

“Trump is taking some credit for bringing down the crime in a district that you’re well familiar with there in Memphis. Do you give him some credit for that?”

Cohen responded in a way that left little doubt about the effectiveness of the federal support pouring into the city under Trump’s direction.

“Give him a little bit of credit. We need more policemen. We’re about a thousand short in our police force. So, having additional FBI agents, having additional DEA agents, having additional [ATF] people, there are other federal law enforcement groups that have been — had to increase their enrollment here in Memphis, they have helped.”

Of course, the Democrat quickly shifted focus to local efforts, claiming the positive trend began well before any federal task force showed up.

“But the crime was going down already before the Safe Task Force started in September. It had gone down about 25 or 30% with the work of Mayor Young and police director Chief Davis.”

He further tried to paint the picture as part of a worldwide pattern, citing drops in other major cities abroad.

“And it’s gone down around the country, and around the world. I saw Mexico City’s homicide rate was down 20%.”

Then came the predictable jab at the president’s numbers, where Cohen disputed the exact percentage Trump had highlighted for Memphis.

“Trump throws out figures. He threw out a figure the last time he talked about this and said crime was down 70% in Memphis. Well, it’s better. Memphis is a great city. And everybody ought to come down and visit. Memphis in May is coming up, and Memphis is a great city to visit. But it’s not down 70%.”

Such an admission from a longtime Democratic representative exposes how President Trump’s no-nonsense policies are delivering tangible safety gains even in areas long controlled by the other side.

The American people can see for themselves that real leadership means backing the men and women in uniform, and under President Trump, crime is retreating as communities start to thrive once more.

Anti-Trump Republican appointee shocks the entire GOP

Republicans need to band together. If they want to win the midterms, they have to do it quick.

And now an anti-Trump Republican appointee shocked the entire GOP.

Stitt’s Pick Draws Scrutiny Over Ties to Prominent Trump Critic

Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt is set to appoint Alan Armstrong, Executive Chairman of Williams Companies and a seasoned oil and gas leader, to temporarily fill Sen. Markwayne Mullin’s U.S. Senate seat as Mullin moves toward confirmation as President Donald Trump’s Secretary of Homeland Security.

This interim role, lasting until January 2027 under state law, would bring strong energy industry expertise to represent Oklahoma—aligning with Trump’s pro-American energy dominance priorities—while the state gears up for a special election where Trump-endorsed Rep. Kevin Hern is the clear frontrunner.

The selection has sparked attention due to Armstrong’s past political contributions, including $5,800 in donations to former Rep. Adam Kinzinger in March 2021—donations made shortly after Kinzinger voted to impeach Trump over January 6 events.

Reports indicate this history was expected to come up during Stitt and Armstrong’s meeting with President Trump at Mar-a-Lago, highlighting potential concerns amid ongoing coordination to ensure alignment with Trump’s America-first agenda.

Kinzinger’s Long-Standing Opposition to Trump

Adam Kinzinger, a former Republican congressman from Illinois, has established himself as one of the most vocal and consistent critics of President Trump within GOP circles.

Beyond his impeachment vote, Kinzinger called for Trump’s removal via the 25th Amendment in early 2021, served on the January 6 Committee investigating allies of Trump, and has repeatedly labeled Trump and his supporters in harsh terms across media appearances.

Kinzinger further demonstrated his stance by speaking at the 2024 Democratic National Convention in support of Kamala Harris, crossing party lines in a high-profile endorsement against Trump.

His ongoing commentary, including recent criticisms of Trump’s handling of foreign policy issues like Iran and Russia, underscores a persistent anti-Trump position that contrasts sharply with the strong, decisive leadership Trump has delivered in his second term—focusing on border security, energy independence, and putting American interests first.

Strategic Move Maintains Momentum for Trump’s Priorities

Despite the noted donation link drawing some conservative pushback (with figures like Roger Stone and Ryan Fournier highlighting the Kinzinger connection on social media), the appointment process reflects thoughtful collaboration between Governor Stitt and President Trump.

Sources confirm the Mar-a-Lago meeting proceeded positively, paving the way for an official announcement following Mullin’s likely Senate confirmation.

Armstrong’s deep experience managing critical natural gas infrastructure—handling 30% of U.S. supply—positions him to advocate effectively for policies that lower energy costs, boost jobs, and reinforce national security during this transition.

While the interim seat ensures continuity, the focus remains on Trump’s endorsed path forward in Oklahoma, delivering results that strengthen America’s economy and sovereignty under proven Republican leadership.

The Federal Reserve makes shock announcement with huge implications

Other than the White House, the Fed has the most power. What they do next is critical.

And now the Federal Reserve made a shock announcement with huge implications.

The Federal Reserve’s latest decision to maintain steady interest rates reflects a measured, data-driven approach amid heightened global uncertainties, including the ongoing conflict involving Iran and its effects on energy markets—demonstrating the central bank’s commitment to balancing inflation control with employment support for the benefit of American households and businesses.

Cautious Hold Amid Geopolitical Uncertainty

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) voted 11-1 to keep the federal funds rate unchanged in the range of 3.5% to 3.75%.

This marks the second consecutive meeting with no adjustment, as policymakers assess the evolving economic landscape. Fed Chair Jerome Powell highlighted the significant uncertainty stemming from developments in the Middle East, noting that near-term higher energy prices are already pushing up overall inflation.

However, he stressed the difficulty in predicting the full scope or duration of impacts on the broader economy. The U.S., as a net energy exporter, may see some offsetting benefits through increased domestic production and investment. Powell emphasized vigilance after years of inflation above the 2% target, while acknowledging mixed signals: downside risks to the labor market (potentially supporting lower rates) balanced against upside risks to inflation (favoring restraint).

Balancing Dual Mandate Goals

Powell repeatedly underscored the need for patience in a highly uncertain environment, explaining that the Fed is well-positioned to respond based on incoming data rather than preemptively acting.

He described the current policy stance as appropriate to advance the dual mandate of maximum employment and price stability. In his press conference, Powell stated: “In the near term, higher energy prices will push up overall inflation,” but added “it is too soon to know the scope and duration of the potential effects on the economy.” He further noted: “The thing I really want to emphasize is that nobody knows. The economic effects could be bigger, they could be smaller or they could be much smaller or much bigger. We just don’t know.”

On the mandate tension, he said: “We are balancing these two goals in a situation where the risks to the labor market are to the downside which would call for lower rates and the risks to inflation are to the upside which would call for higher rates and not cutting.” The sole dissenter, Fed Governor Stephen Miran, favored a rate cut, but the majority held firm.

Steady Approach Supports Economic Stability

This decision aligns with the Fed’s long-term focus on fostering sustainable growth without reigniting persistent inflation pressures that have challenged American families in recent years.

Projections in the Summary of Economic Projections (SEP) indicate continued solid economic expansion, with median forecasts for real GDP growth at 2.4% this year and 2.3% next year—somewhat stronger than prior estimates—alongside expectations for gradual progress toward 2% inflation.

By holding steady, the Fed avoids knee-jerk reactions to short-term shocks, allowing time to evaluate whether geopolitical events lead to temporary or more lasting disruptions.

As Powell affirmed, the central bank remains committed to objective, evidence-based policymaking that serves the American people, positioning the economy to navigate current challenges while preserving the gains in employment and stability achieved in recent years. This prudent stance helps maintain confidence in U.S. financial markets and supports broader economic resilience.
