In determining citizenship, the United States has a very unusual approach. You’re a citizen if you were born here. (You’re also a citizen if you were born abroad under certain circumstances, but that’s a different issue.)
That’s a bit crazy, because it means that if a woman (aren’t you glad we don’t have to refer to them as “child-birthing persons” anymore?) makes it into the United States, legally or illegally, in time to give birth – right on the north bank of the Rio Grande, for example – her baby is an American citizen.
The mother doesn’t magically become an American citizen by giving birth in America,
If you’ve been following Revolver News, you know we’ve had Norm Eisen’s number for years. But who is Norm Eisen, really?It’s a loaded question, but here’s the short version of how he got started: Norm’s a Harvard Law grad. Back in 1991 he met his BFF Barack Obama. While he was there, he also served as Assistant Director of the Anti-Defamation League (a left-wing anti-free speech/propaganda group) and worked as a research assistant to his professor, Alan Dershowitz.
But Eisen’s story takes a much darker turn the moment he and his Deep State buddies saw their power apparatus crumbling, thanks to a political outsider named Donald J. Trump.

Hey there, little lady, here’s another reason not to get married: If the “Safeguard American Voter Eligibility” (SAVE) Act passes, it will be too hard for married gals to figure out how to vote.
The ridiculous claim that married women won’t be able to vote was presented as legitimate news in the Feb. 11 Newsweek piece, “Married Women Could Be Stopped From Voting Under SAVE Act.” Their source: the left leaning Center for American Progress, which is actively working against the SAVE Act.
Glamour Magazine is suddenly all worked up about this issue too, publishing a Feb. 12 piece, “The SAVE Act Could Stop Millions of Women From Voting,”
A Times Square drug kingpin nabbed in an “around-the-clock” crack-peddling operation is back on the streets of the Big Apple — thanks to former President Joe Biden, The Post has learned.
Johnny Perez, a 32-year-old convict nicknamed “Ghost,” was one of nearly 2,500 convicted federal criminals who had their sentences commuted by Biden on Jan. 17 before he left office — including at least three other dealers busted with him in 2021, records show. Federal prison records show that Perez, who was one of eight suspected drug dealers rounded up in a raid by the NYPD and federal agents, is listed as due for release in May
I enjoy Kevin ‘Sid‘ Hassett very much. (snip) awesome in Trump’s first term as an economic advisor, and he’s even better in term two as the Director of the National Economic Council (NEC).
When the people who controlled Joe Biden lost the 2024 election, they were angry. They wanted to leave President Trump with as big a mess as possible I(snip)
Part of their chaos operation was to drive up the cost of food, intentionally create inflation that Trump would have to handle. The “bird flu” issue was part of the plan. (snip). Agriculture ordered millions of chickens to be killed. Simple quarantine
Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr slammed former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg for claiming Trump administration "incompetence" is putting Americans "at risk," pointing to a multi-billion dollar project under the Biden administration that he said yielded no results.
"You worked for an Administration that got $42 billion to connect millions of Americans to the Internet," Carr said in an X post on Saturday responding to Buttigieg. "1,163 days later, that Admin exited without connecting even 1 person & without turning even 1 shovel worth of dirt."
"If we need expertise in incompetence, will reach out," he added, accompanied by the peace sign emoji.
Vice President JD Vance made news in Munich by accusing the European political elite of not really believing in democracy. But another line stood out for me that I think is also worth noting. Vance defended the unique dignity of human life. From the speech:
Contrary to what you might hear a couple mountains over in Davos, the citizens of all of our nations don’t generally think of themselves as educated animals or as interchangeable cogs of a global economy.
It’s just one sentence in a 20-minute speech. But I think it is important and urge the vice president to expand upon that thought
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy appears on Meet the Press to discuss his position toward ending the conflict with Russia. Within the conversation [04:11], Zelenskyy said, “I will never accept any decisions between the United States and Russia about Ukraine.”
President Zelenskyy represents the interests of the European Union, multinational corporations, various elements of NATO memberships, the World Economic Forum, the CIA division within the U.S. State Dept., western banks and a confab of various western intelligence operations. After that, he represents the interests of Ukrainians. This is why he will not permit elections. (Video)

The panic that gripped Europe’s political elites after JD Vance delivered some overdue home truths in Munich found expression back home in the most embarrassing question ever asked by a network anchor.
Our vice president had accused smug Eurocrats at the Munich Security Conference of abandoning free speech and allowing unchecked migration to roil their countries, warned them to respect their voters and told them America should not bear the primary burden of funding Europe’s security.
“If you’re running in fear of your own voters, there is nothing America can do for you. Nor, for that matter, is there anything that you can do for the American people who elected
What is the long-term Democratic Party’s strategy to return to power? Americans may ask that only because so far, the Democrat agenda seems to entail polarizing and alienating as many voters as possible. They gleefully double down on their 2024 defeat. And they seem almost to grow ecstatic at ensuring that Donald Trump and his record poll at unprecedented highs. Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) rants on national TV that Trump is a d—k and promises to go to “war” against him. Democratic representatives chant “f—k Trump” on national television.
A German diplomat once best known for laughing at Donald Trump’s warning that Germany’s dependence on Russian energy would become a problem was unable to finish his speech at the Munich Security Conference as he apparently found the implications of emissary JD Vance’s message from the Trump White House too upsetting.
Top German diplomat Christoph Heusgen, infamous for being one of the group of chuckling Germans laughing off Donald Trump at a 2018 United Nations General Assembly broke down in tears on the podium at the Munich Security Conference as he gave the closing speech of the three-day event. Heusgen spoke in a conscious repudiation
Jessica Tarlov, one of the liberal voices at Fox News, made a hilarious claim on a podcast last week that I couldn’t help but laugh at. According to her, the “chaos” of the Trump administration is already turning off his voters.
Her proof? She shared a conversation she supposedly had with a 20-year-old college student from the Midwest who comes from a conservative, pro-Trump family. The student, who had previously reached out for career advice, recently emailed Tarlov to express his changing perspective on Trump.
“I’ve really appreciated hearing what you have had to say the past week on ‘The Five’ and your podcasts with Scott,”
FBI director nominee Kash Patel has often joked that on day one in office he would shut down FBI Headquarters and reopen it the next day as a Museum of the Deep State. Rueful joke aside, he may not know how close to the truth he really is. The FBI has a sneaky little secret that has probably escaped the attention of its most ardent fans at DOJ. It's even possible that the cloistered and suited gangsters on the 7th Floor don't even know how easy it could be to topple the entire enterprise.
The FBI has been in the middle of countless scandals, illegal behavior,
UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer declared his willingness to deploy British troops to Ukraine “in harm’s way” to deter Russian aggression hours before he is set to join an ’emergency summit’ on the matter in Paris on Monday.
The United States and Russia are meeting to discuss the Ukraine war in Saudi Arabia this week, but European leaders have not been invited to send delegations. Apparently prompted by being left behind in this regard, and likely too by the Trump White House’s suggestion that European nations actually decide what they are actually capable of doing on Ukraine, European leaders are meeting in Paris today for an “emergency summit”.
President Donald Trump has been forced to take his fight to the U.S. Supreme Court after an Obama-appointed judge reinstated Hampton Dellinger, a Biden-era bureaucrat, as head of the Office of Special Counsel.
This latest legal battle comes after a series of judicial oversteps by the activist judiciary.
Last Friday, President Trump exercised his constitutional duty to dismiss Dellinger from his position at the Office of Special Counsel, an agency tasked with safeguarding federal whistleblowers.
Rather than accept his removal, Dellinger filed a lawsuit to reclaim his job.
CBS News was a dumpster fire on Sunday. Face the Nation’s Margaret Brennan thought the Nazi Holocaust occurred because there was too much freedom of speech and the press in Germany. Then, 60 Minutes decided to produce a segment about Germany waging a total war on freedom of speech, taking offenders away…on a train ride. Finally, there is this pity segment on government workers who are lost after getting fired.
Parts of the Northeast and mid-Atlantic could be in for their biggest snowstorm of the season later this week if all the pieces come together, according to the FOX Forecast Center.
Confidence is increasing, with computer forecast models showing an impactful winter storm developing in the Plains and tracking across the central and eastern US. However, uncertainty remains about the system’s exact track and what the impacts will be for those along the heavily populated Interstate 95 corridor.
The energy for this storm moves out of the Rockies and into the Plains on Monday before heading east.
Thank You and Goodnight

I confess it's a wee bit demoralising to find JD Vance has stunned Europe with a speech that contains nothing that would be remotely surprising to any reader of this website for the last quarter-century. Of course, he's the Vice President of the United States and I'm a "niche Canadian". And in fairness JD was still in high school back when I started boring on about this stuff.
Nevertheless, the German defence minister Herr Großer von Wich ser spoke for the entire European establishment when he magisterially pronounced Mr Vance's remarks "not acceptable". Germany, France and the rest of Western Europe are dying before our eyes, but it remains "not acceptable"
I came across an article today with a graphic showing a map of Washington, D.C. with tags indicating asking prices for homes that had just gone on the market. The article claimed that the D.C. housing market has dropped 36% in one week. I've been utilizing the "Bongino Rule," waiting 24-72 hours before commenting on an inflammatory story until more facts are revealed.
But I quickly came across similar, related stories, as well as a phenomenal thread on ‘X’ from Ted Cruz. Why is it, do you suppose, that so many people (some 15,000 at last report) in D.C. have put their homes up for sale that the glut has
At the end of January, the center-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU), its Bavarian ally the Christian Social Union (CSU), the neoliberal Free Democratic Party (FDP) and the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party voted together for much stricter asylum rules, triggering a heated debate that has yet to subside.
Before the vote, the Protestant Church in Germany (EKD) and the Catholic German Bishops' Conference (DBK) wrote a joint letter to all parliamentarians urgently warning against such collaboration. The letter was signed by leading figures from the two denominations, prelates Anne Gidion and Karl Jüsten.
White House press briefings are often tedious affairs, but sometimes a reporter will ask a question so inane that it provides comic relief. On Jan. 29, for example, the Washington Examiner’s Christian Datoc put this howler to Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt: “Egg prices have skyrocketed since President Trump took office. So, what specifically is he doing to lower those costs for Americans?” The average price of a dozen eggs escalated from $1.47 to $4.95 during former President Biden’s term
It is not coincidental that mere days after Vice President JD Vance went into the Munich Security Conference and denounced European censorship regimes, CBS’s 60 Minutes would air a report extolling the virtues of German censorship. The report filed by correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi makes sure to highlight prosecutors who go after memeposters as defenders of civility.
The report opens with Alfonsi laying its predicate- censorship as protective of “civility” and “discourse”, and with the airing of a predawn cartoon deemed to be racist (click “expand” to view full transcript): SHARYN ALFONSI: If you've ever dared to read the comments on a social
USDA Axes Millions in Contracts, Including

$230K for ‘Brazilian Forest and Gender Consultant’ replies
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has slashed millions in contracts that were active under the Biden administration, including for a “Brazilian forest and gender consultant” and a “Central American gender assessment consultant.”
Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins announced the cuts on Friday, saying that the department has terminated 78 contracts totaling more than $132 million. Rollins said 1,000 contracts are also currently under review for potential termination.
The findings are the result of a review by the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

of America’ Despite Updating Other Geographical,
Ethnic Terms replies
The Associated Press is still refusing to refer to the Gulf of America by its new official name, despite the publication having previously changed its style guide to conform to the renaming of other geographical locations and ethnicities around the world.
The oceanic basin, settled between the southern coast of the United States and the northern coast of Mexico, was known as the Gulf of Mexico until President Donald Trump changed the name in an executive order on his first day back in office. While the order, referred to as “Restoring Names that Honor American Greatness,” only officially applies within the U.S., many companies
