She lost the election, but she’ll always have the NAACP Chairman’s Award. Former Vice President Kamala Harris reemerged in the public limelight for her first major speech since departing the White House Saturday night and took not-so-subtle shots at both President Trump and tech mogul Elon Musk. During an acceptance speech at the 56th annual NAACP Image Awards, Harris painted a bleak picture of the state of the country and urged attendees not to lose hope as her own party struggles over its direction amid Trump’s return.

She can say whatever she likes. However, no one is listening, and the world is moving away from her so fast that her word salad, as always, has no meaning.

Worthless words from a worthless person. The only shadow on the country is the rapidly fading Deep Shadows from the Biden/Harris administration. The disinfecting sunlight is being let in. Soon everything will be scrubbed fresh and clean and not a trace of B&H will remain.

Just like Joe and Blinken lost their security clearances, Cammy must have lost access to Dem talking points. It’s no longer threat to democracy, but now “everyone hates Trump and Elon, town halls all over America are showing the Dems will win the mid-terms…”. Jessica Tarlov got destroyed on X with the propaganda yesterday, just saw the designated Dem on Howie Kurtz (had to turn it off because it was 2 on 1 versus Tommie Larren). People are loving all this winning and the Dems are defeated like no other time since Reagen.

Only in the Democrat mind could throwing open the rotten core of behind-the-scenes government bureaucracy for the public to see be considered a shadow gathering over democracy. I for one would be interested to know the democratic process by which $2 billion was funneled into the account of Stacy Abrams's "environmental political action" organization. And why wasn't this done publicly, with fanfare? Why were we not given the chance to rejoice and celebrate the transfer of our money to that august and worthy organization?

Democrats in the chamber for Trump’s speech have behaved like petulant children from the very beginning of his speech. One of them even had to be removed from the chamber. Trump got tired of it and called them out to their faces, saying that nothing he could ever do or say would cause them to stand, applaud, or even smile. He is absolutely right, and this admonishment called these people out for the vicious, petty, horrible people that they are. Partial transcript via Twitter/X:

Washington—President Trump was the boisterous showman in chief before a joint session of Congress Tuesday night — boldly declaring “America is back” and its “greatest era” was underway as he brushed past petulant Democratic protests to lay out both the accomplishments and the agenda of his second term. Trump, 78, described his avalanche of executive orders and new initiatives as a “common sense revolution” during the 99-minute address — the longest in modern history — echoing the theme of his second inaugural address as the opposition largely sat on their hands and seethed before drifting quietly into the DC night. “Six weeks ago, I stood beneath the dome of this Capitol

Democrats interrupted with loud clapping as President Trump noted that hundreds of billions of dollars have gone to Ukraine, and “millions of Ukrainians and Russians have been needlessly killed or wounded in this horrific and brutal conflict with no end in sight.” They were clapping for war! Trump then asked, “You want to keep it going for another five years?” and Elizabeth Warren continued clapping. “Yeah, you would say— Pocahontas says, Yes,” Trump replied.

President Trump addressed multiple common sense issues that he has tackled in his return to the White House by executive order that Democrats have opposed. Slotkin, who narrowly won her Senate seat in 2024, was selected to deliver a refutation of Trump’s overwhelmingly popular policies. Trump has called for a “Golden Age of America” in his return to office, a seemingly self-defeating position for Democrats to oppose.

“Official” is a very English word. It has its roots in the Old French “oficial” and the Latin “officialis,” and now — thanks to a new Trump executive order — describes the status of the English language. President Trump’s executive action making English our official language repeals a Bill Clinton executive order that required the government, as well as groups receiving federal funds, to provide language assistance to non-English speakers. (Photo) Trump’s move will have little practical effect, since the increase in bilingualism in the United States has been driven by high levels of immigration from Spanish-speaking countries rather than direct government action.

The Social Security Administration (SSA) said in a release that it has identified more than $800 million in savings or “cost avoidance” for fiscal 2025 among information technology, grants, property and payroll. The SSA stated that it froze hiring and “drastically” cut back on overtime, saving about $550 million. The government agency that administers the Social Security program said it cut back $150 million from the information technology systems (ITS) budget by canceling “non-essential contracts and identifying reductions in other ITS contracts.” Acting SSA Commissioner Lee Dudek said Monday evening the agency has “operated on autopilot” for far too long.

During Donald Trump's big speech on Tuesday night, the Democrats proved more than ever that they hate this country and do not wish to see it succeed. They refused to clap for common sense things like lowering taxes and removing dangerous criminals from the streets. Even worse, they failed to applaud for everyone from the mothers of young girls who were brutally murdered to foster dads and foster children. But one of the most disgusting moments of the evening came when they refused to acknowledge a young boy with brain cancer for something that was about as far from partisan as you can get.
