Trump is winning left and right. And it’s only getting better.

Now the House Freedom Caucus dropped Donald Trump’s jaw with one unprecedented gift.

A Bold Break from the Swamp: Trump’s Budget Triumph

President Donald Trump’s transformative budget proposal has ignited enthusiasm among the House Freedom Caucus, heralded as a decisive blow against Washington’s entrenched bureaucracy. Dubbed “a paradigm shift” by the conservative group, the plan aligns with the America First agenda, slashing wasteful spending while prioritizing national security and the needs of everyday Americans.

The Freedom Caucus celebrated the strategy, emphasizing its potential to dismantle the influence of liberal elites.

“This is how you break the Swamp. Passing MAGA Republican priorities in reconciliation with Republican votes — ending Democrats’s leverage against the President in appropriations to fund the Left’s wasteful, woke and weaponized bureaucracy. The FY26 budget is a paradigm shift,” the Freedom Caucus proclaimed on X, underscoring Trump’s commitment to reshaping federal priorities.

By sidelining Democratic obstruction, the proposal empowers Republicans to deliver on campaign promises, restoring fiscal sanity and national strength.

Prioritizing Defense and Security: A Pro-American Vision

Trump’s budget boldly redirects resources to bolster America’s defenses and secure its borders, while slashing non-defense discretionary spending by 22.6% to $163 billion, as outlined by Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought.

“Trump is proposing base non-defense discretionary budget authority (of) $163 billion, 22.6 percent below current-year spending, while still protecting funding for homeland security, veterans, seniors, law enforcement, and infrastructure,” Vought wrote to Senate Committee on Appropriations Chair Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine.

The plan allocates a robust $1.01 trillion for defense, a 13% increase, and commits a historic $175 billion to fortify border security.

“For Defense spending, the President proposes an increase of 13 percent to $1.01 trillion for FY 2026; for Homeland Security, the Budget commits a historic $175 billion investment to, at long last, fully secure our border,” Vought explained.

By leveraging reconciliation for at least $325 billion, Trump ensures that the military and border agencies are fully equipped to protect the nation, a move hailed as a long-overdue response to unchecked immigration and global threats.

Freedom Caucus Champions Trump’s Fiscal Revolution

The House Freedom Caucus has rallied behind Trump’s vision, with members like Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) praising its alignment with the will of the American people.

“This budget re-aligns federal spending to the priorities of the people: a secure nation, making America healthy again, a Justice Department combatting crime and not weaponized against the people, and common sense,” Roy declared.

He highlighted the budget’s synergy with efforts to extend Trump’s tax cuts, reform Medicaid, and reduce deficits, promising “prosperity, freedom, and strength” for Americans.

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) called it “a game-changing budget,” asserting on X that it “is exactly what Republicans were elected to deliver: securing the homeland, cutting the federal government, and crippling the deep state.”

Similarly, Rep. Barry Moore (R-Ala.) lauded the proposal as “a bold step toward fiscal responsibility,” reflecting the Caucus’s unified support for Trump’s aggressive push to dismantle bloated bureaucracies and restore accountability.

With this budget, Trump and his allies are poised to deliver a leaner, stronger government that puts America first, setting the stage for a new era of economic and national revitalization.

The media painted Trump as a maniac. Now he may just pull off a stunning victory.

Because Chinese officials gave away the game with a major concession given to Donald Trump.

Trump’s Tough Stance Forces China’s Hand on Fentanyl

President Donald Trump’s unwavering resolve in confronting China’s role in the fentanyl epidemic is yielding results, as Beijing scrambles to clarify its position and seek trade talks. A Chinese official has reportedly reached out to the Trump administration, eager to understand the precise steps the U.S. expects to halt the flow of deadly fentanyl precursors fueling America’s opioid crisis.

This move follows Trump’s strategic imposition of a robust 145% tariff on Chinese imports, including a targeted 20% levy aimed at pressuring China to crack down on its chemical industry’s complicity in the drug trade. The tariffs underscore Trump’s commitment to protecting American lives and restoring economic fairness.

“China deserves it,” Trump declared, defending the tariffs as a necessary response to Beijing’s failure to act decisively. “We’re not going to let them destroy our country with drugs and unfair trade.”

While China’s Ministry of Commerce expressed cautious openness to dialogue, insisting that the U.S. “show sincerity” and reconsider its tariffs, Trump’s bold approach has clearly shifted the dynamic, compelling Beijing to confront the fentanyl issue head-on. “If the United States wants to talk, it should show its sincerity and be prepared to correct its wrong practices and cancel the unilateral tariffs,” the ministry stated, a sign that Trump’s pressure is forcing China to the negotiating table.

Fentanyl Fight: Trump’s Tariffs as a Patriotic Tool

The fentanyl crisis, which claims countless American lives annually, has become a cornerstone of Trump’s trade strategy, with China’s chemical exports to Mexican cartels under intense scrutiny. The White House has been unequivocal: “China plays the central role in the fentanyl crisis that is destroying American lives,” as stated in a February release announcing the initial 10% tariff increase.

Trump’s subsequent escalation to 145% tariffs demonstrates his resolve to hold Beijing accountable, rejecting half-measures like China’s 2019 scheduling of fentanyl analogs, which U.S. officials argue have been undermined by ongoing precursor shipments.

Beijing’s response, including a vague offer to schedule more precursors, has been met with skepticism by Trump’s team, who demand concrete action.

“If (the U.S.) truly wants to address the fentanyl problem, it needs to revoke the unjustified tariffs, engage in equal consultation with China, and seek mutually beneficial cooperation,” said Liu, a Chinese embassy spokesman.

Yet, Trump’s tariffs have already disrupted China’s complacency, with reports indicating Beijing is preparing a new fentanyl-related proposal to ease trade tensions. This development highlights Trump’s ability to leverage economic might to safeguard American communities from foreign-enabled drug scourge.

America First: Trump’s Tariffs Reshape Global Trade

Trump’s tariffs have not only pressured China but also sent a powerful message to the world: America will no longer tolerate unfair trade practices that harm its workers and families. Despite China’s retaliatory 125% duties on U.S. goods and threats to limit Hollywood access or fentanyl cooperation, Trump remains steadfast, prioritizing American interests.

The global market has felt the ripple effects, with cancellations of 30% of U.S.-bound shipments from China reported by German shipper Hapag-Lloyd, but Trump’s supporters see this as a necessary step to level the playing field.

“We are going to have a fair deal with China,” Trump assured reporters, signaling confidence in his strategy to secure both trade equity and progress on fentanyl. While China’s state media, like China Daily, touts “global unity” against Trump’s policies, the reality is clear: Beijing’s willingness to negotiate reflects the effectiveness of Trump’s America First agenda.

“Global unity can triumph over trade tyranny,” China Daily claimed, but it’s Trump’s bold leadership that’s driving the conversation, ensuring that America’s safety and prosperity come first in this high-stakes showdown.

The Bidens have escaped justice for too long. But now everything is shaken up.

Because Hunter Biden made a sudden legal move that put Republicans on notice.

Hunter Biden Backs Down from IRS Lawsuit

Hunter Biden has abruptly abandoned his high-profile lawsuit against the IRS, which accused whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler of unlawfully exposing his private taxpayer information. The move comes as a significant retreat for Biden, whose legal battles have drawn intense scrutiny amid allegations of tax violations and questionable foreign business dealings.

Biden initiated the lawsuit after Shapley and Ziegler publicly criticized IRS and Department of Justice officials for allegedly stalling investigations into his financial activities. The whistleblowers, undeterred by Biden’s legal maneuver, stood firm.

“It’s always been clear that the lawsuit was an attempt to intimidate us. However, we were always motivated by doing the right thing, defending our work, and honoring our duty to the American people. Intimidation and retaliation were never going to work,” Shapley and Ziegler said in a statement.

They added, “We truly wanted our day in court to provide the complete story, but it appears Mr. Biden was afraid to actually fight this case in a court of law after all. His voluntary dismissal of the case tells you everything you need to know about who was right and who was wrong.”

Whistleblowers Triumph as Biden’s Claims Crumble

Shapley and Ziegler, represented by a formidable team of seven attorneys with expertise in federal prosecutions and congressional matters, were poised to intervene as defendants in the lawsuit to robustly counter Biden’s accusations. Their legal team celebrated the dismissal as a clear victory.

“Today, in the midst of Gary Shapley’s and Joe Ziegler’s efforts to intervene in this litigation and in exchange for nothing at all, Hunter Biden dismissed his case with prejudice—meaning he can never bring it again,” the whistleblowers’ legal team stated. “Shapley and Ziegler did nothing wrong, never had to seek a pardon, and the legality of their actions have now been entirely vindicated in a federal court of law once again.”

The lawsuit’s collapse marks another blow to Biden’s aggressive legal campaign, which has included a now-dropped suit against former Trump staffer Garrett Ziegler over a database of Biden’s laptop contents.

Biden cited financial struggles in court filings, noting that his book and art sales have plummeted since late 2023, a period that aligns with intensified House GOP investigations and his prosecution on gun and tax charges by special counsel David Weiss.

Broader Implications: Biden Family Scrutiny Intensifies

The dismissed IRS lawsuit was a key component of Hunter Biden’s efforts to deflect accountability amid revelations from the House GOP’s impeachment inquiry into his father, then-President Joe Biden.

The inquiry uncovered over $27 million in payments from foreign sources to Hunter Biden and his associates during and after his father’s vice presidency, alongside numerous interactions between Joe Biden and his son’s business partners. Shapley and Ziegler’s disclosures, backed by extensive documentation provided to the House Ways and Means Committee, were central to these findings.

The whistleblowers faced significant backlash for their courage, with an independent watchdog confirming they endured unlawful retaliation from the IRS after coming forward in spring 2023. Despite this, their credibility has been bolstered, with the Trump administration appointing them to senior advisory roles at the Treasury Department in March. Shapley briefly served as acting IRS Commissioner last month before a dispute led to his removal.

Meanwhile, President Trump has taken decisive actions, stripping Hunter Biden of his Secret Service detail and granting clemency to Biden’s former business partners, Devon Archer and Jason Galanis, who testified during the impeachment probe.

Joe Biden, in his final days as president, issued pardons for his son—convicted on gun charges in June and pleading guilty to tax charges in September—as well as other family members, shielding them from potential Trump administration actions. Hunter Biden’s decision to drop the IRS lawsuit signals a retreat, leaving the whistleblowers’ allegations unchallenged and their vindication resounding.

Harris has lost her mind. She can’t take the fact that she lost.

Now she went completely off the rails during her word salad speech.

Kamala Harris’ Confusing Comeback: A Speech Riddled with Incoherence

Once a prominent figure in the Biden administration, Kamala Harris has resurfaced after months of political silence, attempting to rally progressives with a speech that quickly unraveled into a bewildering tangent about elephants.

Speaking at Emerge’s 20th anniversary gala in San Francisco, the former vice president took aim at President Trump but struggled to maintain a coherent narrative, resorting to her characteristic word salads and cackles.

“A lot of folks are wondering what’s going to guide us through this moment. How are we all going to figure out how to chart the course?” Harris said, before veering off-topic. “Please allow me, friends, to digress for a moment.”

“OK, it’s kind of dark in here, but I’m ask[ing] for a show of hands — who saw that video from a couple of weeks ago, the one of the elephants at the San Diego Zoo during the earthquake? Google it if you’ve not seen it,” she said with a cackle. Harris went on to describe how the elephants “felt the earth shaking beneath their feet” and “got in a circle and stood next to each other to protect the most vulnerable.”

“What a powerful metaphor,” she claimed, attempting to tie the anecdote to political unity. Yet the detour only underscored her tendency to lose focus, leaving attendees puzzled as she meandered through a speech meant to critique Trump’s presidency.

Hypocrisy and Hyperbole: Harris’ Attacks on Trump Fall Flat

Harris painted a grim picture of America under Trump, accusing him of sparking “the greatest manmade economic crisis in modern presidential history” and orchestrating a “wholesale abandonment” of American values. Her rhetoric, laced with apocalyptic warnings, seemed designed to inflame rather than inspire.

“Americans across the political spectrum who are declaring that the president’s reckless tariffs hurt workers and families by raising the cost of everyday essentials, devastate the retirement accounts that people spent a lifetime paying into, and paralyze American businesses, large and small,” Harris said.

Yet her claims conveniently ignored the economic pressures inherited from her own administration, including persistent inflation and supply chain woes that plagued the Biden-Harris years.

She further accused Trump of flouting presidential norms, warning of a looming constitutional crisis. “We here know that when the checks and balances ultimately collapse, if Congress fails to do its part, or if the courts fail to do their part, or if both do their part but the president defies them anyway … that is called a constitutional crisis,” she lamented. Critics, however, might argue that Harris’ own tenure as vice president saw plenty of executive overreach, casting her as an inconsistent messenger.

Harris also took aim at Trump’s immigration policies, specifically referencing the deportation of alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador. “It is not OK to violate court orders,” she said.

“It is not OK to detain or disappear American citizens or anyone without due process.” Her selective outrage, however, glosses over the Biden-Harris administration’s own struggles with border security and immigration enforcement, which many argue emboldened criminal elements.

A Fading Star Clings to Relevance

After her 2024 election loss, Harris has kept a low profile, with speculation swirling about her next move—perhaps a run for California governor in 2026 or another presidential bid in 2028. Her speech offered no clarity on her plans, instead serving as a platform for vague calls to action and recycled progressive talking points.

“I am not here tonight to offer all the answers, but I am here to say this: Things are probably going to get worse before they get better,” she proclaimed. “But we are ready for it. We are not going to scatter.” The rallying cry felt hollow, delivered by a figure whose political star has dimmed amid criticism of her ineffectiveness as vice president.

Harris’ attempt to reassert herself as a progressive leader fell short, overshadowed by her disjointed delivery and questionable priorities. As she decried Trump’s crackdown on universities as “unconstitutional demands that threaten the pursuit of truth and academic independence,” one couldn’t help but wonder if her focus on viral animal videos and exaggerated crises reflects a disconnect from the issues Americans care about most. For now, Harris’ comeback seems more like a stumble, leaving her audience—and the nation—questioning her relevance.

Harris has been trying to lay low. But she keeps being thrust back into the spotlight.

Now Tim Walz just obliterated the last remaining bits of Kamala Harris’ career.

Walz’s ‘Code Talk’ Claim Sparks Conservative Ridicule

Former Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz has ignited a firestorm of mockery from conservatives after asserting that he was selected as Kamala Harris’s running mate to “code talk to white guys” and sway rural voters.

Speaking at a Harvard Kennedy School forum during his national “listening tour” on Monday, the Minnesota governor claimed his role was to connect with “white guys watching football, fixing their truck” and “put them at ease.”

The remarks, meant to explain his place on the losing 2024 ticket, instead drew sharp derision from critics who saw them as a misstep in the Democrats’ failed bid to broaden their appeal.

Walz further described himself as a “permission structure” designed to win over white men in rural America, a demographic that overwhelmingly supported President Donald Trump.

However, his attempt to position himself as a relatable everyman fell flat, with conservatives seizing the opportunity to highlight the Democrats’ disconnect with the very voters Walz claimed to represent.

The backlash underscored the challenges Democrats face in shedding their elitist image, a narrative Republicans have relentlessly exploited to maintain their grip on rural and working-class voters.

Social Media and GOP Leaders Pile On

The conservative response was swift and merciless, with social media users and Republican figures mocking Walz’s self-proclaimed ability to “code talk” to white men.

One X user jabbed, “Tampon Tim Walz thought white guys watching football and fixing their truck would listen to him and vote for Kamala,” referencing the controversial nickname tied to Walz’s policy mandating menstrual products in Minnesota public schools for grades 4 through 12.

The quip encapsulated the skepticism that Walz’s folksy persona failed to resonate as intended.

Republican Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) joined the fray, declaring, “Tim Walz is DELUSIONAL!” His blunt assessment amplified the conservative narrative that Walz’s outreach was not only ineffective but also emblematic of the Democrats’ tone-deaf approach to rural voters.

Conservative pundit Charlie Kirk piled on, writing, “Tim Walz says Kamala picked him as a running mate to give ‘permission’ for white dudes to vote for a radical black/Indian woman.” Kirk’s follow-up, “How’d that work out for you, Tim?!” drove home the point that Walz’s strategy failed to deliver, as the Harris-Walz ticket fell short against Trump’s populist surge.

Democrats’ Rural Disconnect Laid Bare

Walz’s comments at Harvard, intended to reflect on his role in the 2024 campaign, instead highlighted the Democratic Party’s ongoing struggle to connect with white, working-class men—a demographic that has increasingly aligned with the GOP under Trump’s leadership.

By framing himself as a cultural translator for rural voters, Walz inadvertently invited scrutiny of the Democrats’ broader electoral miscalculations, particularly their inability to counter Republican narratives painting them as out-of-touch urban elites.

The mockery directed at Walz also reflects the broader conservative glee at the Democratic ticket’s defeat, with critics gleefully pointing to the “code talk” claim as evidence of a flawed strategy.

As Democrats lick their wounds and reassess their approach ahead of future elections, Walz’s remarks serve as a cautionary tale of the risks of leaning into stereotypes to appeal to voters. With Republicans like Emmer and Kirk capitalizing on the gaffe to further erode Democratic credibility, Walz’s “listening tour” has instead amplified the GOP’s narrative of Democratic desperation and cultural cluelessness.

The President is barely into his first year. But now rumors are already swirling.

And a sudden announcement about Trump’s possible replacement rattled Capitol Hill.

### Raimondo Signals 2028 Presidential Ambitions

Former Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo has thrown her hat into the ring for a potential 2028 presidential bid, signaling her readiness to lead while acknowledging the Democratic Party’s need for a major overhaul after its 2024 election setbacks.

Speaking at a University of Chicago Institute of Politics event, Raimondo responded to a question from David Axelrod about her political future with a clear affirmation: “Yes.” Her announcement marks an early step in what promises to be a crowded and contentious Democratic primary season.

Raimondo, who served as Biden’s commerce secretary from 2021 to January 2025 and as Rhode Island’s governor from 2015 to 2021, emphasized her deep commitment to public service.

“I care deeply about this country. I’ve dedicated 15 years to public service, and if I think there’s a big way for me to serve again, including running, I’ll do it,” she said.

Yet, she also displayed a pragmatic streak, adding, “But I also, if I thought somebody else would be better, or better able to win, I’d get behind that person in a minute.” Her willingness to step aside for a stronger candidate underscores her focus on party unity, a critical issue for Democrats still reeling from recent losses.

### Democratic Party Faces Identity Crisis

Raimondo didn’t shy away from addressing the Democratic Party’s struggles, particularly the lingering perception that it is disconnected from everyday Americans. She called for deep introspection to rebuild trust and relevance.

“How will we overcome this impression that we’re elitist, we’re out of touch, we don’t have our sense on the culture?” she asked. Her blunt assessment highlights the uphill battle Democrats face in shedding labels that have alienated voters and fueled Republican gains under President Donald Trump.

The former commerce secretary pointed to historical precedent, noting the 12-year gap between Democratic presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton as evidence of the time it may take to recalibrate.

“There’s so much to do. I don’t know how many cycles it’s gonna take,” Raimondo said. “There’s a reason there were a dozen years between [former Presidents Jimmy] Carter and [Bill] Clinton. And I don’t know where we are in that cycle.” Her remarks suggest a long-term perspective, urging Democrats to rethink their platform, policies, and messaging to counter the narrative of elitism pushed by Republicans and amplified by Trump’s populist rhetoric.

### Crowded Field Looms as Democrats and Republicans Gear Up

With the 2028 election still over three years away, Raimondo’s announcement positions her among a growing list of Democratic hopefuls. Names like former Vice President Kamala Harris, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, and Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro are already circulating as potential contenders, alongside other congressional and state leaders.

Pritzker, in particular, has been making moves, recently headlining a fundraiser in New Hampshire, a key early primary state, to bolster his 2028 prospects.

On the Republican side, Vice President JD Vance emerges as a frontrunner to carry Trump’s mantle, as the president, barred from a third term, has playfully teased the idea of running again.

Raimondo’s entry into the 2028 conversation sets the stage for a fierce ideological battle, with Democrats desperate to reclaim ground lost to a Republican Party emboldened by Trump’s enduring influence. As Raimondo and her party grapple with their identity, the road to 2028 will test their ability to shed the elitist label and reconnect with voters alienated by years of perceived cultural disconnect.

The Democrats have always enjoyed help from the mainstream media. But times are changing.

Now CNN betrayed Democrats with a scathing attack they never saw coming.

Trump Showcases Jennings’ Anti-Lib Zinger at Rally

At a high-energy campaign-style rally in Warren, Michigan, President Donald Trump welcomed conservative CNN commentator Scott Jennings to the stage, celebrating his knack for dismantling Democrat talking points.

The event, marking the first 100 days of Trump’s second term, erupted in cheers as Jennings delivered a biting jab at liberals, cementing his status as a MAGA favorite.

Trump introduced the 47-year-old pundit with characteristic flair: “He defends me all the time on CNN, and he defends me really well, but he can’t go too far because he’ll get fired.”

The president playfully added, “Oh, CNN, this is the end of Scott,” as he ushered Jennings to the podium. The crowd roared, relishing the moment.

Jennings didn’t disappoint, landing a sharp quip: “Michigan, we were flying in here today, and I said, ‘Look at these farms. I’ve got to get a farm in Michigan — because when you own as many libs as I do, you gotta get a place to put them all.”

The MAGA faithful erupted in laughter as Jennings shook Trump’s hand and exited, leaving the stage ablaze with energy.

Jennings’ CNN Clashes Expose Democrat Weaknesses

Jennings has built a reputation for “owning” liberal opponents on CNN, consistently outmaneuvering left-leaning pundits with quick wit and sharp retorts.

Earlier this month, he silenced former MSNBC host Tiffany Cross during a heated debate about colonization. When Cross dismissed him as “irrelevant,” Jennings shot back, “You got fired from your job. How relevant are you?” The takedown left Cross scrambling for a response.

In another fiery exchange, Jennings faced off against former Biden official Neera Tanden over political violence.

When Tanden mocked, “I’m sorry you’re getting emotional,” Jennings delivered a crushing rebuttal: “Yeah, I’m sorry you’re a condescending person who hasn’t been paying attention to what I do.” These moments have exposed the fragility of Democrat arguments, earning Jennings widespread praise among conservatives tired of liberal posturing.

Rising Star Faces Democrat-Dominated Media and Political Future

Jennings’ fearless commentary has not only won him Trump’s admiration but also secured a hefty pay raise and a new CNN contract—though the struggling network, often criticized for its left-wing bias, denied his push for a solo show.

Beyond the studio, the Kentucky native is being urged to challenge for Mitch McConnell’s Senate seat, leveraging his longtime role as a trusted adviser to the veteran senator.

As Democrats and their media allies continue to falter under Jennings’ relentless critiques, his star continues to rise, signaling trouble for a liberal establishment struggling to counter his conservative fire.

With Trump’s endorsement and a growing fanbase, Jennings is poised to reshape the political landscape, one “owned” lib at a time.

No one ever accused Schumer of being sharp. Now it’s on full display.

And Chuck Schumer utterly humiliated himself with one braindead statement.

Schumer’s Selective Poll Play: Cherry-Picking Data to Bash Trump

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is wielding polls like a political weapon, eagerly spotlighting surveys that cast President Donald Trump in a negative light while brushing off dismal numbers about his own leadership.

This blatant double standard, first flagged by NBC’s Frank Thorp V on X, unfolded during a Tuesday press conference where Schumer and fellow Senate Democrats aimed to paint Trump’s second term as a disaster, dubbing it “100 days of chaos.”

Schumer kicked off the event with a gleeful jab at Trump’s approval ratings. “The polls this week show Trump has the lowest 100-day approval rating since they started polling 80 years ago. The lowest! Even worse, 72% of Americans think it’s likely that Trump’s handling of the economy will walk us directly into a recession,” he declared, leaning hard into data that fit his narrative.

The New York Democrat’s enthusiasm for polls was palpable as he framed Trump’s leadership as a looming economic catastrophe, rallying his party around the anti-Trump cause.

Schumer’s Hypocrisy Exposed: Dismissing His Own Poll Woes

But Schumer’s love affair with polls vanished when the spotlight turned to his own unpopularity. Barely 20 minutes later, CNN’s Manu Raju confronted him with a stinging question:

“There’s a poll out today that has your approval ratings lower than any other congressional leader at 17%. Are you concerned that you may be a liability for your party?” Suddenly, Schumer’s tone shifted. “Polls come and go,” he replied dismissively. “Our party is united. We’re on our front foot. We’re stepping forward, going after Trump and having real success.” The hypocrisy was stark—polls were gospel when slamming Trump but meaningless when they exposed Schumer’s own failures.

Schumer’s leadership has been under fire, especially after he refused to back a GOP stopgap bill to prevent a partial government shutdown earlier this year. The decision sparked a crisis of confidence among some Democrats, who see Schumer as increasingly out of touch. Even Minority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL), the Senate’s second-ranking Democrat, signaled a shift last week, announcing he would not seek re-election in 2026.

“In my heart, I know it’s time to pass the torch,” Durbin said, a subtle rebuke of Schumer’s entrenched leadership. Yet Schumer remains defiant, insisting to CNN that he’s “staying put.”

Trump Fights Back: Dismissing Fake News and Leading Strong

Meanwhile, President Trump is shrugging off the same polls Schumer clings to, focusing instead on his America First agenda. Just before hitting the 100-day mark of his second term, Trump took to Truth Social to set the record straight.

“The Polls from the Fake News are, like the News itself, FAKE! We are doing GREAT, better than ever before,” he posted on Monday. Trump’s dismissal of biased surveys resonates with his base, who see him as a fighter against a rigged system orchestrated by Democrats and their media allies.

Schumer, undeterred by his own unpopularity, continues to claim his party is winning the narrative war.

“I’m fighting the fight every day, as is our caucus, in a united and successful way, as you have seen by your poll and other polls,” he said.

“We’re showing America how bad Trump is, and showing that Republicans who embrace Trump do so at their peril.” But with Trump’s unwavering support among conservatives and Schumer’s leadership crumbling under scrutiny, it’s clear who’s truly on the defensive. As Trump forges ahead, Schumer’s selective poll obsession only underscores his desperation to undermine a president whose resilience continues to defy the left’s attacks.

The Left is stooping to dangerous lows. And they don’t care who they hurt in the process.

Now a top Trump official called out this Democrat Governor for inciting a riot.

### Tensions Rise as Miller Slams Pritzker’s Provocative Rhetoric

Stephen Miller, President Donald Trump’s Deputy Chief of Staff, sharply criticized Illinois Governor JB Pritzker on Monday, warning that the Democrat’s recent comments could be interpreted as a call to violence.

Speaking to reporters outside the White House, Miller highlighted Pritzker’s fiery remarks at a New Hampshire event, escalating concerns about the growing normalization of aggressive political rhetoric amid an already volatile climate.

### Pritzker’s Call to Action Sparks Outrage

At the McIntyre-Shaheen 100 Club Dinner on Sunday, Pritzker urged Democrats to mobilize against Republicans with unrelenting pressure.

“Never before in my life have I called for mass protests, for mobilization, for disruption, but I have now. These Republicans cannot know a moment of peace. They have to understand that we will fight their cruelty with every megaphone and every microphone that we have. We must castigate them on the soapbox and then punish them at the ballot box,” Pritzker declared.

Miller responded bluntly, stating, “What I would say is that his comments, if nothing else, could be construed as inciting violence.” For Republicans, such rhetoric risks inflaming an already tense political landscape, particularly given Trump’s survival of two assassination attempts and multiple foiled threats.

Miller drew a stark connection between Pritzker’s words and the potential for real-world consequences, pointing to recent left-wing attacks on property, such as vandalism targeting Tesla dealerships.

“Once you tolerate, and once you allow for attacks on property, you’re just a step away from throwing Molotov cocktails into people’s homes,” he warned, emphasizing the dangerous progression from property damage to violence against individuals.

### Rhetoric Fuels a Dangerous Divide

Miller also condemned the broader trend of normalizing political violence, citing former Washington Post reporter Taylor Lorenz’s disturbing comment that she felt “joy” at the execution of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York.

He argued that inflammatory rhetoric, like Pritzker’s, fosters an environment where such sentiments thrive. Additionally, Miller accused Pritzker and other Democratic governors of defying federal authority on issues like illegal immigration, where the federal government holds clear supremacy.

“I’ve never seen anything like it,” he said, framing their actions as a direct challenge to national governance.

For conservatives, Miller’s remarks underscore a troubling pattern of Democratic rhetoric that not only undermines law and order but also emboldens dangerous behavior, threatening both public safety and political stability.

They aren’t sending their best. That’s been Trump’s claim this whole time.

And now an illegal immigrant was arrested after an unprecedented attack on this Trump official.

Trump’s Ironclad Commitment to Border Security Shines in Noem Case

A chilling robbery targeting Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has spotlighted President Trump’s unwavering resolve to tackle crime perpetrated by illegal migrants, reinforcing his pledge to make America’s streets safe again.

The arrest of a Chilean career criminal who stole Noem’s Gucci bag during a family Easter outing underscores the urgent need for Trump’s aggressive immigration enforcement policies, which have galvanized his supporters nationwide.

Mario Bustamante-Leiva, a 49-year-old illegal migrant from Santiago, was apprehended Saturday after allegedly swiping Noem’s $3,000 luxury bag—containing her driver’s license, passport, DHS badge, and apartment keys—while she dined at Capital Burger in Washington, DC. Sources told The Post that Bustamante-Leiva, a known member of a vast East Coast robbery network, has a rap sheet dating back to a 2015 theft spree in London.

A second illegal migrant suspect, nabbed in Miami, awaits deportation as charges are finalized, showcasing the Trump administration’s swift and decisive action.

“Thank you to @SecretService @ICEgov and our law enforcement partners for finding and arresting the criminal who stole my bag on Easter Sunday as I shared a meal with my family at a Washington DC restaurant,” Noem declared on X. “This individual is a career criminal who has been in our country illegally for years,” she continued, amplifying Trump’s message that unchecked illegal immigration fuels crime.

“Unfortunately, so many families in this country have been made victims by crime, and that’s why President Trump is working every single day to make America safe and get these criminal aliens off of our streets.”

Trump’s Law-and-Order Vision in Action

The incident, captured on security footage showing a masked Bustamante-Leiva expertly lifting the bag, highlights the sophistication of these criminal operations and the necessity of Trump’s zero-tolerance stance. US Attorney Ed Martin downplayed the likelihood that Noem was targeted for her role, noting the allure of her “nice-looking purse.”

“It was frankly … a nice-looking purse. This was not an amateur. This was a person, a thief, that knew how to do this. You could see how he scouted the room out,” Martin told NBC News. The theft, just a mile from the White House, underscores the boldness of criminals operating under the radar—until Trump’s policies intervene.

Martin emphasized the administration’s commitment to ensuring justice: “President Trump’s direction to us is we charge these folks that are here illegally and we prosecute them, as well as deport them when need be, you know, as soon as that can happen,” he told NBC.

“What I can tell you is he won’t be back on the streets of America.” This promise of prosecution and deportation resonates with Trump’s base, who see his leadership as a bulwark against the chaos of open borders.

Crushing Criminal Networks with Trump’s Resolve

Bustamante-Leiva’s prior arrest in London for stealing nearly £28,000 in goods reveals a pattern of criminality that flourished due to lax immigration enforcement before Trump’s return to power.

Now, with ICE spearheading the case, both suspects face permanent expulsion from the US, a testament to Trump’s promise to rid the nation of criminal threats. The arrests have energized conservatives, who view this as a victory in the broader fight to secure the border and protect American families.

Noem’s experience, a stark reminder of the pervasive threat posed by illegal migrant crime, has further solidified support for Trump’s agenda. As law enforcement continues to dismantle robbery networks under his guidance, this case stands as a powerful example of how Trump’s policies are restoring safety and order to America, one deportation at a time.

The war in Ukraine has claimed more lives than we even know. It’s clear it can’t go on forever.

And now Trump sent Vladimir Putin a shocking ultimatum that left foreign leaders speechless.

Trump’s Bold Call to End Ukraine Conflict

President Donald Trump has taken a firm stance against Russian President Vladimir Putin’s ongoing aggression in Ukraine, expressing skepticism about Putin’s commitment to peace as the war, now in its third year, continues to devastate the region. In a series of fiery posts on Truth Social, Trump channeled the frustration of his supporters, who see his leadership as critical to resolving global conflicts and restoring American strength on the world stage.

On Saturday, following a deadly Russian missile strike on Kyiv that killed 12 and injured 90, including children, Trump voiced his outrage. “There was no reason for Putin to be shooting missiles into civilian areas, cities and towns, over the last few days,” he wrote, fresh from a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the Vatican for Pope Francis’ funeral. His words resonate with his base, who admire his no-nonsense approach to foreign leaders and his focus on protecting innocent lives.

“It makes me think that maybe he doesn’t want to stop the war, he’s just tapping me along, and has to be dealt with differently, through ‘Banking’ or ‘Secondary Sanctions?’ Too many people are dying!!!” Trump added, hinting at the kind of tough economic measures his administration has championed to rein in adversaries.

His supporters see this as a stark contrast to the perceived weakness of past administrations, rallying behind his proactive stance.

A Vision for Peace Amid Chaos

Trump’s comments come as hopes for a peace deal remain elusive, despite his repeated campaign promises to end the war within 24 hours of taking office—a pledge that energized his base and underscored his reputation as a dealmaker.

Describing the war’s toll as “worse than anything since World War II,” Trump reiterated his urgency for resolution in a Thursday post: “I am not happy with the Russian strikes on KYIV. Not necessary, and very bad timing. Vladimir, STOP! 5,000 soldiers a week are dying. Let’s get the peace deal DONE.”

The Kyiv attack, which occurred just before Special Envoy Steve Witkoff’s fourth trip to Moscow, has only heightened Trump’s resolve. Over Easter, he expressed optimism that a deal could be reached, noting that it would pave the way for “big business with the United States of America.”

His vision for economic cooperation post-conflict aligns with his America First agenda, which prioritizes leveraging peace for prosperity—a message that resonates strongly with his supporters.

Trump’s Saturday meeting with Zelenskyy in Rome, their first since a tense Oval Office encounter in February, was described by White House Communications Director Steven Cheung as “a very productive discussion.”

While details were sparse, the meeting signals Trump’s hands-on approach to diplomacy, a hallmark of his presidency that his base credits for keeping America out of new wars.

Blaming Biden and Obama for the Mess

In true Trump fashion, the president didn’t hold back in assigning blame for the war’s origins, pointing the finger at his predecessors. “This is Sleepy Joe Biden’s War, not mine,” he raged on Truth Social.

“It was a loser from day one, and should have never happened, and wouldn’t have happened if I were President at the time. I’m just trying to clean up the mess that was left to me by Obama and Biden, and what a mess it is.”

Trump’s criticism of Biden and Obama—whom he holds responsible for Russia’s annexation of Crimea—strikes a chord with conservatives who view his foreign policy as a corrective to years of Democratic missteps.

By framing the Ukraine conflict as a inherited disaster, Trump reinforces his narrative of being the leader America needs to restore order and strength globally, a message that continues to galvanize his supporters as he pushes for peace on his terms.

Respect for our Constitution is in the gutter. But not everyone has given up.

And now a Republican Senator schooled a Democrat governor for signing this unconstitutional law.

Senator Lee Calls Out Washington’s Unconstitutional Loan Program

Utah Senator Mike Lee, a steadfast defender of constitutional principles, has sharply criticized a new Washington state law signed by Democrat Governor Bob Ferguson that prioritizes “black, indigenous, and people of color” for forgivable homeownership loans.

Labeling the measure “lawlessness,” Lee took to X to declare, “The Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause prohibits this. It’s not even a close question. This is lawlessness.”

His incisive critique underscores the bill’s violation of equal protection, spotlighting a troubling trend in progressive policies that favor race-based preferences over fairness.

House Bill 1696, an amendment to the 2023 Covenant Homeownership Program, expands eligibility for down payment and closing cost assistance while offering loan forgiveness for low-income, first-time homebuyers who are descendants of pre-1968 Washington residents impacted by historical redlining.

Lee’s condemnation highlights the bill’s discriminatory framework, which he argues flouts the Constitution’s guarantee of equal treatment under the law.

Washington’s Race-Based Policy Sparks Controversy

The Covenant Homeownership Program, launched by Washington Democrats in 2023, was billed as a remedy for “historically marginalized communities” affected by pre-1968 real estate discrimination, as noted by Julie Barrett of Conservative Ladies of America. “The state contracted with a commission to administer the program to determine how the funds were going to be used and how they were going to be disbursed,” Barrett explained.

HB 1696 tweaks the program by raising the income eligibility threshold to 120% of the area median income (AMI) and allowing full loan forgiveness after five years for those at 80% or below AMI, provided they are descendants of residents adversely affected before the Fair Housing Act of 1968.

Bill sponsor Rep. Jamila Taylor defended the measure, stating, “Homeownership is a gateway to building generational wealth, and it was largely closed to Black Americans and people of color for most of our country’s history. Buying a home is tough right now. Bringing more diversity into the pool of homeownership builds stronger communities and is another solution in solving the current housing crisis in our state.” When pressed on whether applicants needed to prove personal harm from racially restrictive covenants, Taylor responded, “What do you mean affected? If the person was a resident in the state prior to 1968 they were affected because they were part of a racial class.”

Ferguson’s Signing Ignites Constitutional Debate

Governor Ferguson, in signing HB 1696, framed it as a step toward equity: “Washington state’s covenant homeownership program provides down payment and closing cost assistance for low income, first-time home buyers. Lawmakers create a program to address the disproportionate impacts of racial redlining in Washington state.

House Bill 1696 modifies the program by adjusting the area median income threshold for program eligibility, introducing loan forgiveness and modifying the oversight committee membership. This modification will create more opportunities to close the racial home ownership gap, which is a very important goal for all of us here in Washington state.

We so appreciate everybody who made this legislation possible. Like every legislation it’s challenging; this one has its share of challenges, as we know … I’m pleased to sign this legislation into law.”

Yet, Senator Lee’s forceful rebuke cuts through the rhetoric, exposing the bill’s legal vulnerabilities. By prioritizing certain racial groups, the program risks running afoul of the Fourteenth Amendment, a point Lee, a constitutional scholar, argues is indisputable.

His stand amplifies a growing call for policies that unite rather than divide, reinforcing his reputation as a principled voice against government overreach and discriminatory practices.
