Trump is tapping members of the LGBT community
for top spots in his administration —
despite Dem hysteria
Posted By: Imright, 1/18/2025 12:57:03 PM
President Trump is assembling an administration stocked with prominent gay and lesbian Americans — defying hysterical Democratic rhetoric. “When it comes to whether you’re gay or straight, black or white and all those markers others calculate — President Trump is decision blind. He bases his decision on the kind of job he knows you will do, period,” said Bill White, a top Trump fundraiser — who was tapped to serve as the US ambassador to Belgium. Among the picks: Scott Bessent, 62, treasury secretary. If confirmed, the hedge fund manager would be the highest-ranking openly gay official in US history.

Conservatives have wanted to yank taxpayer funding for National Public Radio for years. Could it finally happen?
Two Republicans, one in the Senate and one in the House, have introduced a new bill that would accomplish this task, and in our current environment of cutting waste, fraud, and abuse, the time is right to strike.
Even liberal law professor Jonathan Turley recently said it was time to end NPR’s taxpayer funded gravy train.
The GOP needs to get this done.
Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos announced a dramatic ideological shift for his newspaper’s opinion section toward free markets, and staff are predictably having a nervous breakdown over it.Bezos stated on X that he notified Post staff of significant changes being made to the opinion section: “We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets.” In addition, said Bezos, “We’ll cover other topics too of course, but viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others.” Bezos emphatically stated his confidence that “free markets and
Attorney General Pam Bondi told Jesse Watters on FOX News on Wednesday night that “some Epstein information”
Pam Bondi told Watters there are over 200 Epstein victims and the number may be 250!
Jesse Watters: One of the things a lot of people are wondering, because you said last week that you have the Epstein files on your desk, is when can we see them and what’s taking so long to release them?
AG Pam Bondi: I do. Jesse, there are well over, this will make you sick, 200 victims, 200! Well over… over 250, actually.
Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Wednesday on CNN’s “Situation Room” that millions of Americans are “downright ashamed” of President Donald Trump’s actions in dealing with Ukraine.
Schiff said, “This is an effort to pressure Zelensky into giving up something for nothing. And I have to say this, on top of the resolution at the United Nations– where the United States sided with Russia, betrayed Ukraine – is one of the most shameful incidents in modern history. I think millions and millions and millions of Americans watching this not only disagree with the president but, maybe for the first time, are just downright ashamed of the president because

White House to sign US-Ukraine critical
minerals deal 2 replies
WASHINGTON— President Donald Trump said Wednesday that Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy will visit the White House on Friday to sign a long-sought minerals deal that will closely tie the two countries together for years to come.
Trump made the announcement at the start of the first Cabinet meeting of his second term, hailing the deal as “a very big agreement.”
The Republican president has long complained that the United States has spent too much taxpayer money to support Ukraine in the war with Russia that began when the Kremlin invaded three years ago. Trump has framed the emerging deal that would give the U.S. access to Ukraine’s deposits
Fired CBS News reporter Catherine Herridge posted photos of the confidential files seized by the network — which “included sensitive reporting about COVID-19 origins and Hunter Biden.”
The award-winning investigative journalist — who was dismissed last February as part of wider layoffs by embattled parent company Parent Global — stirred a firestorm in her bid to regain the materials before the network gave back the items weeks later.
“Exactly one year ago, @CBSNews returned my investigative reporting files,” Herridge wrote on X on Wednesday.
“Today, I am releasing photos of the records for the first time so you can see the sheer volume involved.”

We saw a collective freakout from liberals in the media over the first Cabinet meeting of the second Trump administration on Wednesday. Elon Musk, who as White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt reminded, works with the president and Cabinet secretaries to get to the bottom of government fraud and waste, was present for such a meeting. As Townhall has been reminding, then First Lady Jill Biden not only attended by led Cabinet meetings during the previous administration. Any outrage is completely misplaced. The meeting was indeed held on Wednesday, where Musk did speak.
Chief Justice Roberts temporarily stopped Judge Amir Ali’s midnight deadline and halted his order forcing the Trump Admin to pay $2 billion in foreign contracts.
Biden-appointed Judge Amir Ali on Tuesday blasted DOJ lawyers over USAID disbursement and ordered the Trump Administration to pay the foreign contracts by 11:59 pm on Wednesday evening.
The Supreme Court immediately responded to Trump’s emergency request to vacate Judge Amir Ali’s order.

Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell on Wednesday sent a memo to the entire department ordering the removal of all official online content promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in line with President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s priorities, Breitbart News has learned.
In a memo titled “Digital Content Refresh,” Parnell instructed all senior Pentagon leaders, combatant commanders, and defense agency and field activity directors to remove Department of Defense news and feature articles, photos, and videos promoting DEI. The memo states:
By March 5, 2025, Components must take all practicable steps, consistent with records management requirements, to remove al DoD news and feature articles,

The following are the top nicknames that President Trump has unleashed upon his political enemies.
Only a very stable genius could possibly conceive of these nicknames. They are sidesplittingly funny.
As we enter into the Golden Age, let us remember the staying power of these nicknames.
Certain nicknames carried meme magic so powerful that they undoubtedly helped President Trump clinch primaries and general elections.

Progressive filmmaker and activist Michael Moore on Tuesday wrote a lengthy blog post warning that by deporting illegal immigrants, America may be missing out on the next equivalent of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs or one that will save the world from a killer asteroid.
Moore’s piece, “Our Muslim Boy Wonder,” used Jobs’ origins as the son of a Syrian migrant to critique the Trump administration’s deportation efforts.
“Who’s really being removed by ICE tonight?” Moore asked. “The child who would’ve discovered the cure for cancer in 2046? The 9th grade nerd who would’ve stopped that asteroid (sic) that’s gonna hit us in 2032? Do we care?”
Within days of Donald Trump’s November landslide, Bishop Mark Seitz, head of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ migration committee, warned that Their Eminences were preparing to “’raise our voice loudly’” if Trump’s immigration policy “’violates basic human rights.’”
This episcopal loudness signals the end of the USCCB’s scrupulously-maintained four-year vow of silence through the entire presidency of the “devoutly” Catholic Joe Biden.
Their silence spoke volumes to Catholics witnessing Biden doing his utmost to wage open war on the most fundamental teachings of the Church. Not only was this “‘good Catholic’” (Biden claimed Pope Francis described him this way during a 2021 audience),
Canada’s top-four Moonbats held a debate to decide which of the leaders of the Snow Mexicans will take control of the party now that Justin Trudeau is leaving. Chryistia “take your bank account” Freeland is the top contender.
For the Snow Mexicans, the #1 priority is fighting U.S President Donald Trump. No other issue had anywhere near the level of importance or time during the debate. Every facet of the leadership debate centers around how to confront, attack, and “outwit” President Trump. [Full Debate Here]
MSNBC has reportedly informed a majority of staffers who work on Rachel Maddow’s primetime opinion show that they are being let go as part of the network’s restructuring that resulted in the cancellation of Joy Reid’s program as well as those of other hosts.
The Comcast-owned, left-leaning channel told Maddow staffers they have the option of applying for new roles at the network or accepting a severance payout, according to the news site Guardian. (Photo) Maddow, MSNBC’s most prominent anchor and top-rated host, will retain her executive producer, Cory Gnazzo, along with several senior producers, the Guardian reported.
However, the rest of her team, along with producers from other recently canceled shows
The American tourist accused of throwing her newborn out a second-story window of a Paris hotel, killing the infant, has been identified as an 18-year-old Oregon woman who was traveling with a $43,000-a-year gap year agency, according to a report. Mia McQuillin, 18, was part of “a group of young people traveling in Europe” as part of a gap year between high school and college when she gave birth inside the ibis Styles hotel in the city’s administrative district, French authorities told the DailyMail
Olivia Troye, who served as an adviser to former Vice President Mike Pence during President Donald Trump's first term, defended Joy Reid after MSNBC announced her show, The Reidout, was being canceled. Newsweek reached out to Reid for comment via email. (Snip) Troye described the cancellation as "a tremendous loss for them and a disheartening signal to all who believe in honest, transformative dialogue." "Few experiences have been as defining as my time as a guest on Joy Reid's show, The Reid Out," she wrote. "Joy's fearless discourse and unwavering commitment to truth reshaped my understanding of what the media
All roads lead to Obama. He is the shot caller. He is the communist traitor behind everything bad that has happened to America, the US economy, and President Trump.Yes, I have a history with Obama. We were college classmates at Columbia University. We were both Pre-Law and political science majors. We both graduated on the same day in 1983. We both went into politics eventually. I’m a conservative warrior and capitalist evangelist. I made millions of dollars as a risk-taking entrepreneur in the business world. He became a “community organizer” (ie a communist traitor).

A violent horde of bike-riding teens viciously attacked a man in the middle of a Los Angeles street “in broad daylight” after he allegedly got into an argument with them, according to cops and a disturbing video.

Get ready for "Musk Or Us" to meet "DOGE R Us." And the astroturfers whose finances are about to get shredded will not like the outcome.
The Protection Racket Media has seized (or is it pounced?) on protests at town-hall meetings over DOGE cuts to the federal bureaucracy. Politico gave us an example of the DOGE-is-unpopular media narrative this morning, in fact:
Rep. Jay Obernolte’s town hall in California last week was drowned out by shouts of “No king!” Rep. Glenn Grothman entered his Wisconsin town hall to boos and jeers, while Rep. Cliff Bentz of Oregon faced so much heckling that he threatened to leave.
