The war in Ukraine has gone on for too long. It has to be ended by any means.

Now Trump sent a sobering threat to Vladimir Putin that left everyone in stunned silence.

Trump’s Urgent Plea for Peace in Ukraine

President Donald Trump issued a stark warning to Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday, emphasizing the catastrophic toll of the ongoing Ukraine conflict and pressing for a ceasefire to save “millions” of lives. His words signal a renewed push to end a war he’s branded a devastating quagmire.

In a candid Truth Social post, Trump didn’t mince words: “Millions of people are needlessly dead, never to be seen again and there will be many more to follow if we don’t get the ceasefire and final agreement with Russia completed and signed.”

Calling the war “a real mess,” he framed the ceasefire—already greenlit by Ukraine—as a critical lifeline, even as Putin has yet to fully commit.

A Glimmer of Hope Amid Dire Stakes

Trump remains cautiously upbeat, telling reporters there’s “a very good chance” Russia will come on board with the U.S.-proposed 30-day ceasefire.

That optimism persists despite Putin’s public reservations, casting a shadow over the deal’s fate. Still, Trump’s team isn’t sitting idle—hours earlier, Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff wrapped up talks in Moscow, a mission Trump hailed as “very good and productive” in a follow-up post.

He painted a grim picture of the battlefield, noting, “At this very moment thousands of Ukrainian troops are completely surrounded by the Russian military and in a very bad and vulnerable position.”

Urging restraint, he added, “I have strongly requested to President Putin that their lives be spared. This would be a horrible massacre, one not seen since World War II. God bless them all!!” It’s a humanitarian plea wrapped in a strategic nudge—a hallmark of Trump’s hands-on approach.

Moscow’s Cautious Signals

The Kremlin’s response offers a flicker of alignment. Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Russian media that Putin stands “in solidarity” with Trump’s aims, hinting at a future call between the leaders.

“The Russian side was provided with additional information. And also through Witkoff, Putin gave information and additional signals to President Trump,” Peskov said. “Certainly there are reasons to feel this cautious optimism.” Yet he tempered that with a reality check: “A great deal remains to be done.”

Moscow’s wishlist, though, complicates the picture. The Kremlin’s pushing for Ukraine to dismantle its sizable army as part of any peace deal—a nonstarter for Kyiv and its European allies. That sticking point looms large as negotiators wrestle with the ceasefire’s terms.

A High-Stakes Balancing Act

Trump’s latest moves blend urgency with diplomacy, spotlighting both the human cost of delay and the faint promise of resolution. His dire warnings to Putin underscore the stakes, while his praise for Witkoff’s Moscow talks keeps the momentum alive.

As the U.S.-backed ceasefire teeters on Russia’s response, Trump’s framing it as a now-or-never moment—one that could either halt the bloodshed or spiral into a tragedy of historic scale. The clock’s ticking, and the world’s watching.

Trump is shaking up Washington, D.C. Old loyalties are being broken.

Now ex-Obama official handed Donald Trump a victory that left Barack fuming mad.

A Glimmer of Peace in Russia-Ukraine Conflict

A surprising nod of approval came from an unexpected corner Thursday when former Obama Defense Secretary and CIA Director Leon Panetta praised President Donald Trump for laying the groundwork for a potential Russia-Ukraine ceasefire.

The prospect of a “clean” deal has injected fresh hope into a weary conflict.

The breakthrough stems from Tuesday, when Secretary of State Marco Rubio revealed Ukraine’s acceptance of a 30-day ceasefire proposed by the Trump administration. The ball’s now in Russia’s court, with all eyes on President Vladimir Putin.

In a Thursday address, Putin responded cautiously: “The idea itself is correct, and we certainly support it. But there are issues that we need to discuss.” His hesitance keeps the deal in limbo, but the door’s not shut.

Panetta’s Praise and a Call to Hold Firm

Appearing on “CNN News Central,” Panetta didn’t hesitate to give Trump his due.

“He’s been able to negotiate the possibility of a clean ceasefire. That’s to his credit,” he said, spotlighting Trump’s diplomatic finesse. But he paired the compliment with a challenge:

“Look, this is a test for the president. Whether he is going to stand strong for doing the right thing or whether he caves in to Putin, that’s going to be the issue. And I hope he stands strong.”

Panetta’s words carry weight, urging Trump to keep the pressure on. He cautioned against muddying the talks with side issues, warning it could “undermine [the] ability to get a ceasefire now.”

Instead, he urged a laser focus on the immediate goal. “What the president has to make clear to Putin is that he has a chance to accept a ceasefire now that will stop the killing,” he said. “Let’s do that and then let’s negotiate on the longer-term issues.”

Trump’s Optimism Meets Putin’s Pause

Panetta’s remarks landed just after Trump voiced cautious optimism to reporters, reacting to Putin’s statement.

“A lot of the details of a final agreement have actually been discussed,” Trump said. “Now we’re going to see whether or not Russia is there.”

He called Putin’s response “very promising” but noted it’s still a work in progress, adding, “If they’re not, it’ll be a very disappointing moment for the world.”

Trump’s holding out “hope” that Russia will “do the right thing,” a sentiment that echoes Panetta’s push for resolve. The ceasefire’s fate hangs on Putin’s next move, but the fact that it’s even on the table marks a shift—proof that Trump’s approach might just be cracking open a path to peace.

Bill and Hillary aren’t going anywhere. They may even be making a come back.

Now the Clintons were thrust back into the spotlight for one despicable reason.

Pence’s Coalition Takes Aim at FACE Act

A bold push from former Vice President Mike Pence’s nonprofit, Americans Advancing Freedom (AAF), is calling on House Republicans to dismantle a decades-old law they argue has been twisted into a weapon against pro-life activists. The group’s latest memo zeroes in on the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, a Clinton-era statute now under fresh scrutiny.

Signed into law by President Bill Clinton in May 1994, the FACE Act made it a federal offense to use force, threats, or obstruction to disrupt abortion services—covering everything from blocking clinic doors to attacking staff or damaging property. While its intent was clear, AAF contends it’s been hijacked to unfairly target those standing for life.

Trump’s Pardons Spark Momentum

The debate gained steam early in President Donald Trump’s current term when he pardoned nearly two dozen pro-life activists jailed for their roles in 2020 clinic demonstrations. Among them were three elderly advocates, all charged by the Biden administration’s Department of Justice (DOJ) with violating the FACE Act.

Trump didn’t mince words during the pardons: “They should not have been prosecuted.” His move signaled a sharp break from the previous administration’s approach and set the stage for a broader fight.

AAF’s memo, fired off to the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday afternoon, doubles down. “Congress must do its part to support President Trump’s effort to end the weaponization of government by repealing the FACE Act in its entirety,” it declares.

“There’s no question that the Biden Administration weaponized the FACE Act against pro-life Americans.” The group paints a grim picture of “early morning SWAT team raids, unjust prison sentences, and alleged mistreatment while in custody” under Biden’s watch.

Voices from the Frontlines

Last month, the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Oversight dug into the issue during a hearing titled “Entering the Golden Age: Ending the Weaponization of the Justice Department.”

Peter Breen of the Thomas More Society didn’t hold back, testifying that one of his clients endured a SWAT raid and a harsh prison term.

“The Biden DOJ engaged in a systematic campaign to abuse the power of the federal government against pro-life advocates,” he said, “while that same DOJ ignored hundreds of acts of vandalism and violence against pro-life churches, pregnancy help centers, and other advocates.”

The contrast couldn’t be starker. While Biden’s team leaned hard into abortion rights, Trump’s administration is flipping the script.

In January, he axed two Biden-era executive orders expanding abortion services, reinforcing the Hyde Amendment’s ban on federal funding for elective abortions. Now, conservatives see the FACE Act as the next domino to topple in the pro-life push.

A Legislative Fight Brews

Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) is leading the charge, reintroducing a bill in January to repeal the law outright. Armed with data showing 97% of FACE Act prosecutions from 1994 to 2024 targeted pro-life individuals, Roy’s got 32 House co-sponsors in his corner and Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) mirroring the effort in the Senate.

The numbers tell a story of lopsided enforcement—under Biden alone, the DOJ launched at least 15 cases involving 46 pro-life defendants since 2021, per 2023 media reports, with abortion-rights supporters as the victims in nearly every instance.

For Pence’s AAF and its allies, this isn’t just about policy—it’s about justice. The FACE Act, they argue, has morphed from a shield into a sword, and dismantling it could level the playing field for those fighting for the unborn.

As the legislative wheels turn, the clash over this 30-year-old law is shaping up as a defining moment in the pro-life movement’s next chapter.

Trump is cleaning house. And now he’s uncovering the unthinkable.

Because a senior DHS official got taken away in handcuffs for this disgusting crime.

Shocking Allegations Surface at DHSv

A startling discovery has emerged from newly unsealed court documents this Tuesday, revealing that Serina Baker Hill, a senior official at the Department of Homeland Security, is under scrutiny for possible ties to drug trafficking. This bombshell adds a layer of intrigue to an already troubling case of alleged fraud against the government.

Hill, who served as the director of Customs and Border Protection’s Center for Excellence and Expertise over Automotive and Aerospace Engineering, faces charges tied to a scheme that exploited disaster relief funds. Authorities allege she misrepresented the condition of her flood-damaged home to siphon thousands of dollars from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) following a deluge in Detroit on August 24, 2023.

A Web of Deception Unraveled

The investigation took a dramatic turn when wiretaps, originally set up to monitor Hill’s husband, Maurice Hill, for suspected drug trafficking, caught the couple discussing their fraudulent plot.

“During the course of the investigations, it was discovered that both HILL and Maurice had engaged in a scheme to defraud FEMA after flooding occurred in Detroit, Michigan on August 24, 2023,” wrote FBI Special Agent Andrew J. Matas. What began as a probe into Maurice’s activities widened to include Serina, given her high-ranking government role.

The couple’s alleged scam came to light through these intercepted conversations. When confronted by agents in a 2024 interview, Hill doubled down, lying about her actions, according to Matas. Now, she faces a slew of charges: wire fraud, disaster fraud, making false statements, and lying to federal investigators—stemming from her denial of ever defrauding the government.

From Relief Funds to Designer Dreams

Court filings paint a vivid picture of the Hills’ alleged misconduct. They filed disaster claims for two Detroit properties last year. Maurice’s claim was swiftly flagged as fraudulent since it wasn’t their primary residence.

Serina’s application, however, targeted their actual home. After a FEMA inspector visited, she claimed the basement repairs made it unsafe to stay, securing $3,125 for fixes and $3,190 for two months of rent. The funds hit their account that same day.

Hours later, the FBI captured a telling exchange. Maurice quipped about splurging on “some Guccis” with the cash, saying, “They probably want you to fix something.” Serina responded with a nonchalant, “Is that how it works?”

In another call that day, they schemed to fake an inspector’s letter to milk FEMA for more, with Serina plotting, “We don’t want it to be okay. We want them to have issues.” Their casual greed stands in stark contrast to the relief program’s intent.

FBI’s Renewed Push and Agency Fallout

FBI Director Kash Patel took to social media to tout the case as a win for justice. “This is part of the new FBI’s renewed efforts to crack down on public corruption and deliver accountability for the American people,” he declared.

“Justice will be done.” The broader investigation into Maurice Hill’s drug trafficking and “other offenses” continues, with Serina’s role as an “interceptee” on the wiretap underscoring the overlap between their alleged crimes.

Customs and Border Protection has distanced itself from Hill, noting she wasn’t a sworn officer and has been sidelined on unpaid leave pending her case’s resolution. As of Wednesday, no attorney was listed for her in court records. This unfolding saga at the intersection of public service and personal gain promises to keep investigators—and the public—on edge as more details emerge.

The failed vice presidential candidate is telling all. And it’s not looking good.

Because he confessed to something truly shocking on MSNBC.

A Defeated Walz Points Fingers After 2024 Loss

Tim Walz, the Minnesota governor who fell short as Kamala Harris’s running mate in the 2024 election, has been vocal about his self-assigned blame for the Democratic Party’s current struggles. With President Trump back in the White House and rolling out his agenda, Walz is scrambling to make sense of the political landscape—and his own role in its unraveling.

At 60, Walz didn’t hold back during a recent MSNBC appearance on “All In with Chris Hayes.” “I think Americans have had it, I hope they’ve had it and now we just need to do what we can do to make the case. Look, I own this, we wouldn’t be in this mess if we would’ve won the election and we didn’t,” he vented.

His claim that America “wouldn’t be in this mess” if he and Harris had triumphed in November paints a picture of a man haunted by what-ifs, though it conveniently sidesteps the electorate’s clear rejection of their ticket.

Vague Critiques and Empty Alternatives

Walz insisted the Democrats need to pivot, saying, “We have to make sure that Americans know it’s just not that Donald Trump is bad, but that we’re offering something better.” Yet, when pressed for specifics on what that “better” might entail, he came up empty-handed.

Instead, he took aim at Trump’s moves—like slapping tariffs on Canadian goods, tightening the U.S. border, and dismantling the Department of Education—dismissing them as “incredibly disruptive” to Minnesotans. He argued that cross-border communities are reeling from the tariffs, but his indignation feels more like sour grapes than a coherent counterplan.

His disdain for Trump took a theatrical turn as he sneered, “Donald Trump is this caricature that had a reality TV show that pretended like he knew how to run businesses. The reality is he doesn’t.”

Doubling down, he added, “The claim that he is the business president. He is the worst possible business executive that I have ever witnessed.” Walz’s personal jabs might rally the MSNBC crowd, but they do little to mask his failure to articulate a compelling Democratic vision.

A Reluctant Nod to Trump’s Appeal

Despite his bluster, Walz couldn’t fully dismiss the appeal of Trump’s approach. “Look, I’m conservative and I believe that systems work for a long time, that you don’t have to break them. Are there improvements that need to be done? Yes, and I think we’re guilty of sometimes of not acting. Could the Department of Education be more efficient? Absolutely,” he conceded.

He even admitted that Trump’s idea of funneling education funds directly to local schools “sounds pretty good.” It’s a rare moment of candor from Walz, though it undercuts his broader narrative of Trump as a reckless destroyer.

Still, he struggled to reconcile this with his broader critique. Welcoming “disruptors” who shake up government stagnation, he grumbled, “What is the goal and where is it backed up? There’s not a single economist that backs tariffs. There’s no one there.”

His frustration hints at a deeper problem: Walz sees the allure of shaking things up but can’t—or won’t—offer a clear alternative. “We have not provided what that alternative looks like and I think it’s fair,” he admitted, a confession that rings more like an indictment of his own leadership.

Walz’s Next Move: Iowa and Medicaid Missteps

Looking ahead, Walz plans to head to Iowa on Friday for a town hall, where he’ll field questions about why Republicans allegedly want to “cut Medicaid”—a claim the Trump White House has repeatedly shot down.

“The Trump Administration will not cut Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid benefits. President Trump himself has said it (over and over and over again),” the White House clarified Tuesday, pointing instead to a focus on rooting out “waste and fraud.” Walz’s decision to lean into this narrative suggests he’s more comfortable peddling debunked talking points than grappling with the reality of Trump’s agenda—or his own shortcomings.

Walz’s post-election reckoning reveals a politician eager to cast blame, quick with a quip, but slow to deliver substance. As he rails against Trump’s policies, his slight concessions to their logic only highlight the Democrats’ failure to adapt—leaving voters to wonder if Walz’s rhetoric is more about soothing his own bruised ego than charting a path forward.

The Left will do anything to stop Trump’s agenda. They’ll even break the law.

And now Trump’s Border Czar threatened one Democrat Governor over this shocking crime.

Border Czar Warns New York: Cooperate or Face an ICE Surge

Border czar Tom Homan delivered a clear message to New York Governor Kathy Hochul on Wednesday—either cooperate with federal immigration crackdowns or prepare for a flood of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents across the state.

Speaking alongside Albany Republicans at the state Capitol, Homan didn’t mince words when addressing Hochul and other Democrats defending sanctuary city policies.

“Sanctuary cities are going to get exactly what they don’t want: more ICE agents in your community,” Homan warned.

“We’ll double the man-force if we have to. Rather than one officer arresting a bad guy, now I have to send a whole team.”

Homan’s tough stance signals the Trump administration’s ongoing commitment to enforcing immigration laws—whether blue-state leaders like it or not.

Praise for Mayor Adams Amid Crackdown Cooperation

While Homan issued sharp warnings to Governor Hochul, he struck a much different tone toward New York City Mayor Eric Adams. Despite Adams’ usual alignment with Democrat policies, Homan applauded the mayor’s willingness to work with the Trump administration on immigration enforcement.

“He’s made great commitments, we’re working on some things, I can’t share it all with you right now,” Homan said, revealing he will meet with Adams again this week—their third meeting in recent months.

The border czar also dismissed media speculation that Adams’ cooperation was tied to the Trump administration easing off a corruption investigation into the mayor’s office.

“I’ve been talking with him since November, I had nothing to do with that,” Homan stated plainly.

This unexpected alliance between Homan and Adams suggests that at least one New York Democrat understands the need for serious border enforcement.

Republicans Push Back Against Sanctuary Policies

Homan’s comments came during a rally led by Republican lawmakers pushing to repeal New York’s controversial Green Light Law—a measure that allows illegal immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses.

GOP leaders are also pushing for passage of the state’s Laken Riley Act, which aims to dismantle sanctuary city policies.

When asked whether he would meet with Governor Hochul during his time in Albany, Homan’s response was simple: “She knows my number.”

With the Trump administration turning up the heat on lawless sanctuary cities, it’s clear that cooperation is no longer optional. And if Hochul continues to resist, New York may soon find itself under the watchful eye of even more federal immigration agents.

The mainstream media usually pushes the Left’s agenda. But sometimes the truth breaks through.

And now CNN is in hot water after exposing the Democrat Party’s Achilles’ heel.

Here’s the revised version with three sections and appropriate headers:

Van Jones Admits: “We’re Screwed”

CNN commentator Van Jones didn’t hold back on Sunday, delivering a blunt assessment of the Democratic Party’s ongoing dysfunction. According to Jones, unless Democrats can find a way to regroup and rethink their messaging, they’ll remain stuck in neutral—struggling to connect with voters and failing to achieve any meaningful policy goals.

Appearing on CNN Newsroom Sunday with anchor Jessica Dean, Jones was asked to weigh in on the state of the Democratic Party—especially after the embarrassing outbursts during and after President Donald Trump’s powerful address to a joint session of Congress.

At first, Jones tried to avoid the topic altogether. “Can we ask another question?” he deflected. “Can we talk about Ukraine or something?”

But when pressed, Jones didn’t sugarcoat the reality Democrats are facing.

“Look, man, we’re screwed,” Jones admitted. “I mean, we don’t know—Democrats don’t know what to do. This is—this is a nightmare. You know, somebody like Donald Trump, we thought we’d at least have Hakeem Jeffries in the Speaker’s chair to hold him back if we didn’t have Kamala in there to do the right thing.”

It’s a stunning admission from a party insider. After years of attacking Trump and doubling down on identity politics, Democrats are left floundering without a clear strategy—or a leader strong enough to challenge the President’s America-first agenda.

A Failing Message and Alienated Voters

Jones pointed to the party’s failed messaging as a key reason for their continued downward spiral, suggesting they are still paying the price for their disastrous 2024 campaign.

“Listen, the Democratic Party is going through a massive set of internal crises. You have a party that got trapped two ways. One, defending a broken status quo that nobody likes because they thought that Donald Trump was going to make it worse. But when you’re defending the status quo, you’re going to lose,” he explained.

And Democrats aren’t just clinging to failed policies—they’re actively alienating everyday Americans with their condescending rhetoric.

“And then offending most people in the country, calling everybody sexist and racist and transphobic and every other name, and then saying, ‘Please follow us.’ That’s not a good strategy, folks,” Jones added.

In other words, the Democrats’ playbook of smearing half the country while pushing an out-of-touch agenda isn’t working—and even their own operatives are starting to admit it.

“Defending a broken status quo and offending most of the country turns out to not be as popular as my party thought it was going to be,” Jones concluded. “And so it’s going to take a while for people to get it figured out.”

Democrats “On Their Heels” as Trump Advances

Jones isn’t the only Democrat waving the white flag. Senator Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) echoed his grim outlook during an appearance on NBC’s Meet the Press, telling host Kristen Welker that Democrats have been “on their heels” since the election.

It’s a revealing confession from within the party’s own ranks. Despite their nonstop attacks on President Trump, the Democratic Party remains directionless, unable to mount a coherent opposition.

Meanwhile, President Trump continues to press forward with a bold, results-driven agenda—leaving Democrats scrambling to recover from their self-inflicted wounds. As long as their party remains in chaos, it’s clear Trump’s momentum isn’t slowing down anytime soon.

The term Trump Derangement Syndrome started as a joke. But the reality is even scarier than anyone thought.

Now Democrats are literally going crazy over Donald Trump: psychologist.

The Trump administration’s bold reforms are shaking up Washington, and not everyone is happy about it. Some groups—especially those tied to bloated federal programs—are worried that their jobs could be next on the chopping block as the administration takes aim at wasteful spending. According to one Georgetown University psychology professor, these changes are even driving some people to therapy.

“I’m getting an increased amount of inquiries from people who are just feeling very anxious in general, and it’s exacerbated by the state of the country,” Dr. Andrea Bonior told Fox News Digital.

Bonior says her clients—many of whom are federal workers, humanitarians, and academics—are feeling the heat as billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk leads the charge to clean up Washington’s excess. Musk’s aggressive cost-cutting efforts, part of the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), are focusing on trimming federal jobs, grants, and wasteful programs. Unsurprisingly, many of her worried patients hail from the D.C. area, where she balances her Georgetown teaching duties with a part-time private practice.

According to Bonior, the fear is most pronounced among those with ties to the federal government or federally funded projects.

“I’ve had some clients who were technically probationary workers because they had gotten promotions, so they had been longtime civil servants, public servants, but they were treated like someone who was just coming out of college and getting their first job because they were probationary,” she shared.

“They were probationary because they were in a new position, having been promoted for having done such a great job.”

DOGE, established during the beginning of President Trump’s second term, was created to root out waste, fraud, and abuse while streamlining government operations. With a planned dissolution date of July 4, 2026, its mission is clear: cut the fat and return power to the people.

Trump has praised Musk’s leadership and unwavering commitment to the cause. In a “Sunday Morning Futures” exclusive interview over the weekend, Trump called Musk a “real patriot” for “opening a lot of eyes” to the outrageous spending habits that DOGE is exposing. The President has made it clear to his cabinet that cooperation with DOGE is non-negotiable, urging agency heads to use a “scalpel” when deciding which jobs to keep.

Yet, as Washington insiders scramble to protect their interests, Bonior claims the effects of DOGE’s reforms are rippling through sectors with humanitarian and nonprofit ties.

Researchers and scientists in higher education are also feeling the pinch, Bonior says, especially those reliant on federal grants. Veterans working for the government—a significant group—are likewise facing uncertainty due to the budget cuts.

But it’s not just Washington elites who are worried. Bonior says her telehealth practice, which spans multiple states, is flooded with messages from people expressing concerns about financial security and broader economic uncertainty.

“I think there’s a larger concern that goes beyond policy, and I’m actually, in the past couple of days, hearing from a lot of people who are just concerned about financial insecurity and concerned about the just destabilization of even the stock markets and even people who consider themselves to be not having anything to do with this,” she said, adding, “I think there’s just a larger concern that the whole tone of this administration feels different.”

However, as Trump’s agenda disrupts the status quo, it’s clear many of those complaining are the very same people who benefited from years of unchecked government largesse. Bonior even admitted to Axios that more and more disillusioned Democrats are seeking help as they wrestle with “burnout, guilt, and despair” over the loss of their old way of life.

Interestingly, Bonior acknowledged that dissatisfaction isn’t limited to one political party. Some Republicans working in federal positions worry about cuts to research funding, while others—such as conservative Christians—are uneasy about reductions in humanitarian aid.

“Contrary to maybe popular belief, there are plenty of Republicans that work in the federal government that are being directly affected. There are plenty of Republicans who care immensely about scientific research and solving medical problems that face this country, and cancer research and Alzheimer’s research and research on childhood disorders… there are lots of conservative Christians who really are concerned with the humanitarian aid cuts and… I think that’s where it really goes to an issue that’s no longer a political issue. I think there are a lot of people who feel that this is a moral issue,” she said.

Still, some of those now feeling the squeeze were once Trump supporters themselves.

“I’ve heard from several folks that have said… ‘I admit this [DOGE] sounded good in theory. Maybe I even voted for Trump, but now I’m feeling completely abandoned because my job is on the chopping block,’” Bonior added.

When Fox News Digital reached out to the White House, Principal Deputy Press Secretary Harrison Fields didn’t mince words, defending the President’s commitment to fixing a broken system.

“President Trump returned to Washington with a mandate from the American people to bring about unprecedented change in our federal government to uproot waste, fraud, and abuse. This isn’t easy to do in a broken system entrenched in bureaucracy and bloat, but it’s a task long overdue. The personal financial situation of every American is top of mind for the President, which is why he’s working to cut regulations, reshore jobs, lower taxes, and make government more efficient,” Fields said.

Despite the noise from Washington’s entrenched bureaucracy, one thing is clear: Trump isn’t backing down. With Musk leading the charge at DOGE, the administration is delivering on its promise to dismantle the swamp—one wasteful program at a time.

The United States used to lead the world. But thanks to past administrations, we’ve fallen behind.

Now the Pentagon just confessed America’s greatest weakness.

Experts Slam Pentagon’s “Outdated” Approach to Military Innovation, Urge Urgent Overhaul

America’s military is falling behind its adversaries, and the blame lies squarely with the Pentagon’s slow, bureaucratic approach to modernization, national security experts warned at a recent security summit.

The Pentagon’s failure to keep pace with technological advances earned it a dismal “D” grade from the National Security Innovation Base Summit—an assessment that even national security leaders in Congress agreed was accurate.

“Progress lives in the private sector, and we’re not seeing enough progress in the public sector,” said Govini CEO Tara Murphy Dougherty. “The department needs a massive kick in the pants in this area and should be held accountable for catching up in progress to match what is happening among the investor community and among the technology sector.”

House Armed Services Committee Vice Chair Rob Wittman didn’t mince words when reacting to the Pentagon’s poor performance.

“I think the score is a deserved score, unfortunately,” Wittman admitted.

He compared the Pentagon’s outdated processes to a bygone era of manufacturing.

“The Pentagon is the Ford Motor Company of the 1950s. I mean, the way they operate—slow, stoic,” Wittman explained. “‘Let’s spend years to write a requirement, then let’s spend years to go to a program or record, let’s spend years to acquire.’ By the time we acquire something, guess what? The threat’s way ahead of us.”

His solution? “We want them to reflect the Apple 2025 model.”

Shipbuilding Woes Underscore a Larger Problem

The consequences of this slow-moving bureaucracy are most evident in America’s shrinking naval power. While the Navy currently operates with 295 deployable ships, plans to expand the fleet to 390 aren’t projected to materialize until 2054. Meanwhile, the Maritime Security Program, which maintains privately-owned, military-useful ships for wartime deployment, is down to a mere 60 vessels.

“It’s precipitously low. We could not get to where we need to be in the Pacific right now if we needed to,” Wittman warned, underscoring concerns about America’s ability to project power in key regions.

Even President Donald Trump has taken a personal interest in the issue.

John Phelan, Trump’s nominee for Navy secretary, revealed that the president frequently checks in—sometimes at odd hours—to press for action.

“Sometimes after 1 a.m.,” Phelan said during his confirmation hearing, “[Trump is] asking me, what am I doing about it?”

Phelan said he reassured the president, “I’m not confirmed yet and have not been able to do anything about it, but I will be very focused on it.”

Trump has made it clear he intends to revitalize America’s shipbuilding capabilities.

“We used to make so many ships,” Trump remarked during a speech to Congress on Tuesday. “We don’t make them anymore very much, but we’re going to make them very fast, very soon. It will have a huge impact.”

He also announced the creation of a White House Office of Shipbuilding to accelerate progress.

Stuck in the Past While Adversaries Surge Ahead

Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle agree that the Pentagon’s sluggishness is jeopardizing national security.

“We’re operating off of an innovation cycle right now that, you know, used to be a decade, and it used to be five years. Then it used to be three years, and now it’s a year or less innovation cycle,” said Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo. “In Ukraine, they’re actually operating off of week-long innovation cycles.”

Crow said the responsibility falls on Congress to light a fire under the Pentagon.

“There are simply no demand signals being sent. So that requires a very real conversation about political will, which is actually bipartisan right now on this issue,” he added.

The Pentagon’s handling of the F-35 fighter jet is a glaring example of the problem. After 25 years in development, the aircraft is “just now getting into full-scale production,” according to Wittman.

“The capability of that aircraft, the modernization that it needs to keep up with the Chinese threat, it’s just not where it has to be,” he said.

Worse still, even the latest F-35s rolling off the assembly line need to be sent back for critical upgrades, including advanced motion sensors and radar systems.

“We’re still not going to deliver the current jets coming off the line with technical refresh three hardware and have that software enabled until probably early next year,” Wittman added.

Cybersecurity: America’s Achilles’ Heel?

Beyond physical hardware, lawmakers are deeply worried about America’s vulnerabilities in cyberspace—especially when it comes to facing off against China.

“China specifically is better at cybersecurity than we are,” warned Rep. Chrissy Houlahan, D-Pa. “It only takes one or two incursions that we don’t see coming or that we aren’t responsive to, to make an enormous difference here.”

Rep. Don Bacon, R-Neb., argued that the U.S. should start thinking about more aggressive cyber tactics to push back against foreign threats.

“When it comes to cyber, we’ve got to change the rules of engagement,” Bacon insisted.

He laid out just how pervasive China’s cyber intrusions have become.

“China is eating our boxed lunch in the energy area, in our cellular phone infrastructure, they’re trying to get into Wall Street, they’re trying to get into agriculture,” he said.

According to Bacon, America needs to stop taking punches and start punching back.

“We’re really good on cyberintelligence, but we have [rules of engagement] that do not let us do nearly what China or Russia does,” he argued. “I don’t think it’s like taking punches to the face, saying ‘can I have another.’”

His message to the Pentagon and policymakers? It’s time to fight fire with fire.

“We’ve got to be able to allow cyber command to fight fire with fire. I wouldn’t even advertise it that much. Just carry a big stick and, get them back,” Bacon said.

A Long Road Ahead

In response to mounting criticism, the Pentagon has launched a review of its contracting procedures under a new DOGE memo.

“Each Agency Head, in consultation with the agency’s DOGE Team Lead, shall conduct a comprehensive review of each agency’s contracting policies, procedures, and personnel,” the memo circulated this week stated.

But with adversaries like China rapidly advancing and the Pentagon still moving at a glacial pace, lawmakers are making one thing clear: Time is running out.

The View is as anti-American as it gets. Now they are outright saying it.

Because Whoopi Goldberg committed treason live on air with this disgusting act.

Whoopi Goldberg Claims Americans “Don’t Know Stuff,” Defends Need for More Immigrants

The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg sparked outrage during a panel discussion on Wednesday, defending mass immigration by claiming that Americans simply aren’t capable of getting things done without help from foreign workers.

“My point is, we’ve spent over 100 years saying to people, come, you’re welcome. We’ll take you. Now, nobody knows how you get in, what do you do because it’s a mess,” Goldberg said in a rant criticizing the immigration system under the Trump administration. “So I want somebody to make up your mind so people know what to do.”

Goldberg then took it a step further, arguing that Americans lack the skills to function without immigrants.

“I listen to folks say, ‘Oh, well, you know, we don’t want people from other countries coming and teaching people how to do stuff,’” she continued. “Why aren’t Americans doing it? Because Americans don’t know stuff. We need folks coming in to help us figure out how to do stuff.”

Her comments came as the panel tore into President Donald Trump’s proposed “gold card” visa, which would allow wealthy foreigners to buy their way into the United States for $5 million.

Co-host Sara Haines criticized Trump’s gold card proposal, suggesting it would alienate the legal immigrants who supported his administration.

“If you have enough money, you can come. I don’t think that will bode well [with those] that voted for him that you can just skip the line if you’re wealthy. That is a problem,” Haines said.

She also pointed out the hypocrisy of Trump’s tough stance on border security while offering an easy path for the rich.

“I also think he talks so much about criminals coming across the borders and all the problems they bring with them. People with money can be criminals, too,” she added.

Haines even went so far as to suggest that the gold card could become a backdoor for wealthy terrorists to enter the country.

“In fact, they have more resources to be criminals,” she warned.

Bringing up the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Haines noted that many of the attackers were from Saudi Arabia—a nation known for its wealth. She suggested Trump’s foreign policy, including his recent comments about taking over Gaza, could make America a bigger target for extremist groups.

“Right now you have Trump talking loosely about taking over Gaza; that puts a terrorist target on our back, and extremist groups, jihadists, will not stop until they’re not just done with land grabs. They’re done with Western civilization. So, they will definitely come here if this kind of thing can be bought. It is way easier than the way that they were planning in the past,” Haines claimed.

Joy Behar, never one to miss a chance to mock Trump, chimed in with a sarcastic jab.

“All I can say is thank God someone’s looking out for millionaires!” Behar quipped.

The failed-vice presidential candidate didn’t do much right during the campaign. Now that’s bleeding into the post-election.

Because he went on CNN and made an absolute fool of himself and Democrats.

Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota and former vice presidential candidate, couldn’t name someone when asked who the leader of the Democratic party is.

Walz appeared on CNN’s The Arena with Kasie Hunt Wednesday to discuss President Donald Trump’s joint congressional address.

Hunt asked the governor who he thinks is the Democratic leader right now.

The 60-year-old Democrat paused for a few beats before answering.

“I think the voting public, right now, is what I would say,” Walz responded. “We’re not going to have a charismatic leader ride in and save us from this.”

Hunt followed up by asking if Walz sees anyone who could “be a national Democratic figure?”

“I see a whole lot of them,” Walz said. “I see young members of Congress stepping up, I see folks out there, I see it out here, state senators, state legislators, folks that are getting ready. Labor union members who are out there talking. I think the thing we need to do is: We can’t cede the space. If Donald Trump’s going to be out there…we have to be there every day.”

“We need to be better organized. There is going to be an organic uprising which we’re seeing.”

When Hunt asked if former Vice President Kamala Harris could be that future leader, Walz responded: “I certainly think she could be.”

Walz isn’t the first to contend with this question. Since Harris’s loss last Election Day, Democratic lawmakers have expressed discontent with their party’s leadership — or lack thereof.

“There’s no one, certainly, that the party, I would argue, looks to, or feels led by, or inspired by, is the truth,” former Democratic Representative Dean Phillips told The Hill last month.

“Any organization — business, for-profit, nonprofit, political party — that lacks spirited leadership is going to suffer. And I think you can count us among those organizations right now. There’s just no question.”

A new poll from the liberal firm Blueprint first obtained by Politico also indicates 40 percent of voters believe that Democrats do not have any strategy for combatting the Trump administration.

That division was made clear when Democrats had a variety of responses to Trump’s joint congressional address on Tuesday. Many silently listened, others walked out and some wore pink in protest. Representative Al Green, a Democrat from Texas, was even removed from the chamber for repeatedly interrupting Trump at the beginning of the address.

“Last night I stood up for those who need Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. Democrats will never abandon the fight to make sure every American has a safe, healthy, and financially secure life. #ISaidWhatISaid,” Green wrote on X on Wednesday night.

Green’s fellow lawmakers voted to censure him on Thursday. Nearly every Republican and 10 Democrats voted in favor of the resolution.
