Securing the Border: Trump Actions Prove
It Doesn't Require New Laws

Original Article

Now we’re getting serious: Guantanamo Bay and U.S. attorneys. The Trump administration’s twin actions last week stepping up its attack on the illegal immigration problem show the depth of Trump’s commitment to ending the crisis at our southern border and his determination to get results. And, clearly, while these moves represent a significant escalation of his administration’s actions to secure the border, they are just two of many, many actions Trump has ordered – each of which puts the lie to Joe Biden’s complaint that he needed a new law from Congress before he could do anything to stop the flow of illegal aliens across the southern border.

It just required "wanting" to put the US first, unlike Biden who saw us as his cash cow and putting us last, not to mention he is dumb as a rock when he is awake.

Trump's Presidency is going to be a Master Class on what the US Presidency IS, and what it can accomplish, given the right person in that Role. Biden's Residency will be a horror story of what can happen when powers like a corrupt and foolish dem party, a Leftist media, and a Leftist and corrupt bureaucracy can cause to happen; electing and sheltering a senile fool, and corruptly misusing the power of the presidency. And it's not like we weren't told what was going on. Conservatives have been pointing out most of the problems since BO got elected and threw corruption into overdrive. Americans tend to be far too gullible in believing the lies of their elected officials instead of looking at actual results. Of course the media playing backup for this was a gross betrayal of their understood responsibilities in our Republic. Unfortunately, the Constitution is terse about this. "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press ..." Supposedly this is because the Press is a "watchdog of the government and needs freedom from government constraints to achieve this. However, it is not codified. Court decisions have placed some limits on the Press' ability to gather information, such as access to prisons. Otherwise, the Press self defines their role, and they have done that badly and corruptly. In addition, the Intelligence Community has been turned into a weapon against America. It was supposed to be focused against foreign threats but BO perverted its purpose and focused it inward. Trump's actions, besides a model of success for the People, will also rip out and expose the excesses and corruption of government over the last 100 years. Hopefully the American People are paying attention.

The ongoing construction of the border wall is great. But the invaders should be made to understand that ANYone breaching the wall will be killed without hesitation or remorse. Whatever the buzzards leave behind will bleach in the sun. Or better yet, be flung back over the wall. They have buzzards too.

Oh, this is a little funny. The vertically challenged Ukrainian president who dresses like a UPS driver, is now likely to make a deal with President Trump where Ukraine puts up their “rare earth minerals” as collateral for taxpayer funds received by the United States. Previously President Trump remarked that U.S. leadership were “stupid” for not securing Afghanistan future mineral contracts in exchange for U.S. military operations. Talking about the Ukrainian expectation from the oval office earlier today, President Trump outlined his expectations that Volodymyr Zelenskyy put up the rare earth minerals as collateral for continued financial support

Five minutes ago, most Americans didn't even know what USAID was, but it has quickly become the topic du jour following President Donald Trump's radical reformation of the agency. As RedState reported, the Department of Government Efficiency first began cleaning house on Friday, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio then taking over the role of acting director on Monday. Tens of billions of dollars in grants have been frozen as the Trump administration attempts to sort through the mountain of left-wing priorities inappropriately funded by USAID.

Well, that didn't take long. After speaking with President Donald Trump, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Canada will do more to enforce border security and control the flow of illegal drugs."I just had a good call with President Trump," Trudeau wrote in a post on X. "Canada is implementing our $1.3 billion border plan — reinforcing the border with new choppers, technology, and personnel, enhanced coordination with our American partners, and increased resources to stop the flow of fentanyl. Nearly 10,000 frontline personnel are and will be working on protecting the border."

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy’s office furiously tried to back-peddle Monday after he boasted that he had opened his home to a migrant and taunted the Trump administration “to try to get her.’’ A rep told The Post that the loose-lipped Jersey leader had been “misinterpreted” and that no such situation had occurred — even though Murphy had dared the feds to come after the migrant.

American-Israeli Keith Siegel was released by Hamas Saturday morning in the latest hostage-for-prisoner swaps — making him the first US citizen freed by the terror group under the ongoing cease-fire deal. Siegel was released just before 10:30 a.m. local time when the Red Cross organized his release with Hamas after he spent the last 484 days in captivity. Siegel, 65, an occupational therapist from Chapel Hill, N.C., was kidnapped along with his wife, Aviva, when Hamas raided their home on Kibbutz Kfar Aza on Oct. 7, 2023.

What kind of people are Democrats in terms of human decency? I blogged yesterday about about their execrable behavior to Robert F.

The New York Times is preparing to publish a deep state hit piece on President Donald Trump’s nominee for Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard. The piece is purportedly based on National Security Agency (NSA) surveillance of a pair of anonymous terrorists. Two people familiar with the matter told The Federalist the Times will accuse Gabbard, a former Democrat congresswoman from Hawaii, of meeting with then-Lebanese Hezbollah Supreme Leader Hassan Nasrallah on a Middle East trip in 2017.

An interesting interview between Maria Bartiromo and recently confirmed CIA Director John Ratcliffe. Within the interview Director Ratcliffe outlines the big picture instructions and direction he has received from President Trump during the second term in office. In essence, the request from President Trump is for all of the IC silo heads to begin completely removing the elements of political manipulation from within the operations they are now going to lead. To accomplish the goal, the ultimate goal, President Trump has instinctively told the incoming IC administrators to regain trust through transparency.

Ahhh, the Super Bowl. Where families gather to watch the big game. Eat lots of food. Drink some. Party a little. Get together with friends to laugh, chill, hang out.

AOC's comments were part of a 90-minute-long conversation with fans on Instagram. What really launched New York's most prominent socialist into a flurry of dizzying projection are Musk's ongoing efforts to clean up an out-of-control bureaucracy through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team. "This dude is probably one of the most unintelligent billionaires I have ever met, or seen, or witnessed," she whinnied.

WASHINGTON — President Trump proposed a US takeover of the Gaza Strip Tuesday night — shortly after suggesting removing “all” Palestinians living there. “The US will take over the Gaza Strip, and we will do a job with it too,” Trump said at a press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “We’ll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site, level the site, and get rid of the destroyed buildings — level it out and create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for the people of the area.” (Photo)

Black History Month has been a regular feature of life at Air Force bases around the world for decades. No longer. A directive from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, headlined "Identity Months Dead at DoD," wipes Black History Month and similar celebrations off the military calendar — starting immediately. "Our unity and purpose are instrumental to meeting the Department's warfighting mission. Efforts to divide the force — to put one group ahead of another — erode camaraderie and threaten mission execution,” Hegseth said in the directive, formally known as a "guidance." “Going forward, DoD Components and Military Departments will not use official resources, to include man-hours, to host celebrations or events

What the hell did I watch? If anything, the anti-Elon Musk rally last night proved two things: Trump derangement syndrome has been replaced by Elon Musk derangement syndrome. Second, the Democratic Party has no idea how to win elections. The reports of a rudderless, leaderless, and divided organization were confirmed last night. It also showed that they have no message other than ‘me no like this Trump administration,’ of which Elon Musk is a top agent of the president. His Department of Government Efficiency is wiping the table clean, exposing waste and fraud, and getting these lazy DC government workers to quit.

Some of former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama's largest donors have abandoned them amid rumors that the couple's marriage is on the rocks. The 44th president of the United States is in the process of building his Obama Presidential Center on the south side of Chicago, but at least some of the donors the couple has turned to over the past few years are now backing down, according to the Daily Beast. Among them is Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky, who bailed the Obamas out in 2022 with $100million each, boosting the year's total to more than $311million.

As we reported earlier, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) made it clear the left was going to be ramping up their protests in the streets against President Donald Trump. Their claims are truly unhinged — because special government employees, Elon Musk and his DOGE team, are operating as part of the Executive Office of the President to review government expenditures. Yet Democrats have been leveling all kinds of crazy accusations against Trump and Musk, especially since Musk has been looking into the hornet's nest that is USAID. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) even accused Musk of "raiding the government, attempting to steal taxpayer money" from the Treasury Department.

NEW YORK— Thinking about backyard chickens as egg prices soar? Think hard, especially in light of the bird flu outbreak. Keeping home chickens as a pastime has continued to grow since the pandemic. But if eggs are the goal, remember that it takes planning and investment to raise the chickens and protect against bird flu. Costs might go well beyond the nationwide average of $4.15 a dozen that commercial eggs sold for in December. “Anyone who’s done an ounce of research will very quickly understand that there are no free eggs, there are no inexpensive eggs in keeping chickens,” said Kathy Shea Mormino, a home chicken blogger and author who
