and other assistance, leaked memo reveals
Posted By: zephyrgirl, 1/28/2025 9:20:13 AM
President Donald Trump is now using the power of the purse to bring diversity, equity and inclusion programs in the federal government to a screeching halt. The White House budget office ordered federal agencies to freeze 'all activities related to obligation or disbursement of all Federal financial assistance,’ which includes grants and loans that do not align with the new administration’s priorities. This is not meant to target any 'assistance provided directly to individuals,’ such as Medicare or Social Security.

Caroline Kennedy has released an extraordinary video of comments to senators where she calls her cousin RFK Jr. a 'predator' who set family members on a path to drug addiction and mistreated small animals. The daughter of President John F. Kennedy said she held back on criticism of her cousin during his failed presidential campaign due to her role as U.S. ambassador to Australia. But she unloaded on her famous relative in her statement on the eve of his Senate confirmation hearing, as he faces an uncertain future in the Senate as Donald Trump's pick to lead the Health and Human Services Department.

Illegal migrants fearing deportation are said to be in hiding, turning usually crowded factories, warehouses and grocery stores into ghost towns. President Donald Trump has order federal agents to at least 1,200 to 1,500 illegal aliens each day as part of his sweeping immigration crackdown. Scared undocumented migrants began hunkering down after Trump took office for the second time last week, with dozens failing to turn up to work. Only 10 out of the usually 40 to 50 migrants workers attended their shifts at a factory in Joliet, Illinois last week,
When reports surfaced over the weekend that mass deportations could potentially begin in the Chicago area Tuesday, Martin Ramos informed his boss that he was taking time off from work, stocked up on groceries and decided his kids would skip soccer practice this week. Ramos — who emigrated from Guadalajara, Mexico, without the necessary work permits — spent the first full day of Donald Trump’s second presidency hunkered down with his family and trying to avoid being picked up by ICE agents. An arrest, he knows, would destroy everything he and his wife worked for and force their two boys into an uncertain future.
President Donald Trump was left in disbelief as he was forced to listen to a woke bishop deliver a stunningly negative sermon calling for him to show 'mercy' to illegal immigrants and transgender children. On the first full day of Trump's presidency Marianne Budde, the left-wing Episcopal Bishop of Washington, unleashed a wild lecture claiming trans kids were 'fearing for their lives' due to him being in the Oval Office.
Trump sat stony-faced in the front row, next to First Lady Melania Trump, as the prelate told him illegal immigrants were not criminals and he shouldn't deport those with children.
North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper (D) commuted death sentences for 15 inmates on his last day in office. On Tuesday Cooper announced that he has commuted the sentences of 15 people on death row in North Carolina to life without the possibility of parole after a thorough review of detailed petitions for clemency. “These reviews are among the most difficult decisions a Governor can make and the death penalty is the most severe sentence that the state can impose,”
DENVER (KDVR) — Fourteen people were detained by Aurora police following a reported armed home invasion at the troubled apartment complex, the Edge at Lowry. Aurora police chief Todd Chamberlain said in a press conference on Tuesday that at about 8:45 p.m. Monday at 1258 Dallas St., a male and a female victim were accosted by 13-15 armed individuals. Chamberlain said 13 were male and possibly three suspects were female. The victims were then forced into a different unit in the same complex against their will. There, Chamberlain said the victims were bound, beaten, pistol-whipped, and the male victim suffered a stab wound.
Round of applause for Govs. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) and Greg Abbott (R-TX)!
Two of Hollywood’s biggest liberals just admitted that Republicans bussing illegal immigrants to Democrat-led states was the “smartest” thing they could have done.
Former daytime talk show host Katie Couric and American political strategist for the Democratic Party Jessica Tarlov praised the GOP’s move of shipping illegal aliens to the Democrat governor’s doorstep when the effects of the Biden-Harris Administration’s immigration crisis were at its worst.
Senior advisers to Vice President Kamala Harris’ failed presidential campaign suggested this week that there just wasn’t much else Harris could have done to beat Donald Trump. Harris couldn’t have distanced herself from President Joe Biden, they said, because she was loyal. She couldn’t have responded more forcefully to attacks over trans rights, because doing so would have been playing Trump’s game. And she might not have had much chance of winning anyway, given the deficit she inherited from Biden when he dropped out of the race in July.
DENVER (KDVR) — The State of Colorado is set to cover the attorney fees for Alliance Defending Freedom in a settlement amounting to more than $1.5 million after an agreement was finally reached following the United States Supreme Court ruling in favor of 303 Creative on June 30, 2023, according to public court documents filed by the law firm. Lorie Smith, a Christian graphic and web designer, declined an inquiry by a same-sex couple considering using her services to create a wedding website due to her religious beliefs.
The End of Never Trump

Donald Trump’s sweeping victory in the 2024 election saw the end of a host of political assumptions — about the country, the inevitability of the left’s generation-shifting agenda and the inability of the Republican Party to penetrate key demographics that have proven resistant to its message. But it also ends one of the most vile and corrupt strains of political activity in the past eight years: the professionalized NeverTrump movement, which raised scads of cash — “generational wealth,” in the phrasing of Steve Schmidt — selling an obviously failed product to Trump’s antagonists.
Despite his grandson saying he was 'limited' as he turned 100, Jimmy Carter spent his birthday in the sunshine enjoying a military flyover at his Georgia home. Carter - the first American president to reach the century mark - was able to watch a flyover of four F-18 jets and several vintage planes that graced the skies over Plains, Georgia as part of the town's celebrations, per CBS News.

Disgrace General Mark “White Rage” Milley finally got his long-awaited comeuppance.
Fox News exclusively reported Tuesday evening that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will “immediately” pull retired Gen. Mark Milley’s personal security detail and security clearance.
But the news gets even better: Hegseth will order the new acting Inspector General to conduct a review to ascertain whether evidence exists for Milley to lose a star in retirement due to his deceitful actions “undermining the chain of command” during President Donald Trump’s first term.
Fox News also reports that a second portrait of Milley will be removed inside the Pentagon. This one is from the Army’s Marshall Corridor on the third floor,
On Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Deadline,” Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) said he was not going to tolerate the Trump administration’s mass deportations of children and families.
Host Nicolle Wallace said, “The Trump administration says this is just the beginning, the opening salvo, if you will. They’ve indicated that one of the next towns could that could be targeted could be Aurora, Colorado.” She asked, “What are you hearing from your constituents?” Crow said, “Well Nicolle I represent one of the most diverse communities in the country, and I just want to paint a picture for you. This is a community where nearly 20% of my constituents were born outside

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) has released a joint statement with Danish Member of Parliament Aaja Chemnitz announcing that Greenland may be “open for business, but not for sale.”
President Donald Trump has been floating the purchase of Greenland for several months and recently sent the Danish government into “crisis mode” after he pressed the prime minister about it over a phone call. As Breitbart News reported: The Danish government reportedly descended into “crisis mode” following a call between President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, during which the U.S. leader is said to have forcefully reiterated America’s desire to acquire Greenland.

Vogue launched a vicious review of Melania Trump's newly-revealed White House portrait, comparing the first lady's look to that of a magician.
The magazine spent four years fawning over the previous White House administration, featuring both Jill Biden and Kamala Harris on the cover several times each, and its latest piece on Melania reaffirms their preference for Democrats.
Vogue's editor-in-chief Anna Wintour is a known Democrat - and was once even rumored to be considered for an ambassadorship under president Barack Obama.
Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is considering a return to public life by running for the Michigan senate seat soon to be vacated after the surprise retirement of Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI), Axios reported Tuesday.
Democrat Buttigieg is “taking a serious look”at putting his name forward, an anonymous source told the outlet, adding “He’s honored to be mentioned for this and he’s taking a serious look.”
It's sometimes hard to believe that this rube was one wayward coconut to the dome of Kamala Harris away from being the leader of the free world. But alas, here we are. Former vice presidential candidate Tim Walz (D) emerged from the shadows for his first nationally televised interview with MSNBC host Rachel Maddow.
And it seems Tim has a case of the sads. The Minnesota Governor lamented about losing the election and related to the feeling of "fatigue" amongst supporters when it comes to that loss.
Border czar Tom Homan said Monday night the Trump administration has “no apologies” for the ICE raids targeting illegal migrants in the US when asked about Selena Gomez’s since-deleted Instagram post in which she sobbed over the law enforcement action.
“All my people are getting attacked, the children. I don’t understand. I’m so sorry, I wish I could do something, but I can’t. I don’t know what to do. I’ll try everything, I promise,” Gomez said in the video. (Photo) Gomez was slammed for sounding out of touch and quickly took down the video, writing on her Instagram story, “Apparently it’s not ok to show empathy for people.”
WASHINGTON - Americans have a dim view of some of President Donald Trump's early barrage of executive orders, including his attempt to do away with so-called birthright citizenship and his decision to rename the Gulf of Mexico, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found.
Since taking office on Jan. 20, the Republican president has moved quickly to crack down on immigration and scale back the size of government, efforts that respondents to the three-day poll that closed on Sunday look on more favorably.
Overall, the poll showed 45% of Americans approve of Trump's performance as president, down slightly
Joe Biden's use of U.S. taxpayer money to fund transgender operas in Colombia and transgender comic books in Peru will be totally undone by Trump, a top Republican told DailyMail.com.
House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast (R-Fla.) has a laundry list of Biden-era State Department programs that are on the chopping block now that Trump is in the White House.
After a bombshell report came out this week unveiling how Biden's State Department doled out $15 million worth of taxpayer funds to buy contraceptives like condoms for the Taliban, DailyMail.com asked Mast what other eye-popping programs exist.

Desperate Dems Throw Eggs At Trump
24 replies
After four years spent denying that inflation was a problem, Democrats are suddenly screaming at President Donald Trump for not having lowered the price of eggs already.
“Democratic lawmakers slam Trump for not making good on promise to ‘immediately’ lower food prices amid egg shortage,” shouts NBC News, pointing to a letter signed by Sen. Elizabeth Warren and other leftist lawmakers who accuse Trump of backtracking on his promise to deal with Bidenflation.
This is all part of a coordinated – and rather pathetic – campaign by the left, which is saying things such as “Under Donald Trump’s leadership, egg prices
Some people living in South Florida are reporting that family members who showed up to regularly scheduled appointments with immigration officers were detained on Monday in Delray Beach. Nearly a dozen people could be seen standing outside the parking lot of an office in Delray Beach called BI Incorporated, a company which according to its website, supports the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) with operating the Intensive Supervision Appearance Program, an alternative to detention known as ISAP. Outside the immigration supervision office in Delray Beach, concerned friends and family members spoke to NBC6 on condition of anonymity. One woman said
