Federal workers in Washington, fired from their jobs as part of the Trump administration’s ongoing cuts, are being kept from getting unemployment checks, U.S. Sen. Patty Murray said Wednesday during a virtual press conference. “We are hearing from literally hundreds of people … that they got this letter that said they were being fired for poor performance,” Murray said. “That has impacts beyond just the emotional ones you’re hearing and the fact that they’ve lost a job — but in many of those who are trying to collect unemployment, it is hampering them from collecting unemployment.” Three recently laid-off federal workers local to Washington

In removing General Charles Q. Brown, Jr. as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, President Trump made a necessary and long-overdue correction to a military leadership corps that has lost its way. For too long, the Pentagon has been governed by leaders more concerned with bureaucratic politics and ideological conformity than with the timeless requirements of combat: discipline, cohesion, and lethality.
America’s military is not merely a collection of well-equipped components—it is an institution forged by a distinct moral and martial tradition. Its strength has always come from a warrior ethos that prizes courage, merit, and excellence. Yet over the last two decades, that ethos has been
Poor Howard Dean.
The former Democrat National Committee chairman and embarrassingly-failed 2004 Democrat presidential candidate seems to step on a rake or ten every time he opens his mouth in public.
In the latest example, Dean — also a former governor of Vermont, which explains a lot — idiotically trashed the "fascist" attack on capitalism, warning that it "could break in the United States."
Again, poor Howard.
During a Thursday appearance on MSNBC’s “The Beat,” Dean incredibly began by first making sense.
Bernie Sanders is partly right that we need to focus on the working people of this country. We talk a good game,

Tapped out Tapper

So CNN’s Jake Tapper and co-author Alex Thompson of Axios and CNN have announced May 20 as the publication date for their book Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, and his Disastrous Choice to Run Again.
My hunch is that they are still writing the book, but want to pre-empt the field of journalists feverishly cranking out similar “inside stories” of Biden’s disaster right now.
Let’s have a look at the pre-publication description:
Joe Biden launched his successful 2020 bid for the White House with the stated goal of saving the nation from a second Trump presidential term. He, his family, and his senior aides were so convinced that
The Unmatched Bigotry of Joy Reid
5 replies
MSNBC just canceled “The ReidOut,” the most vicious, nasty, anti-white and pathologically anti-Trump show on air. Host Joy Reid, for five years, unleashed one hateful, often irrational attack after another. It was only after President Donald Trump’s reelection and her ratings plummeting nearly 50% that MSNBC pulled the plug.
Here are just some of her greatest hits:
“(The courts) are stacked now to essentially suborn our democracy to their very particular version of right-wing evangelical Christ ... That’s no different than Talibanism.”

Walz sticks with it

Republican state senator and physician Scott Jensen ran against Tim Walz in the 2022 Minnesota gubernatorial campaign. Having opposed the incredibly arbitrary and destructive one-man rule that Walz imposed during the Covid regime — Walz never wanted it to end — Jensen made an issue of it. Speaking to an enthusiastic audience at a quadrennial event of the Minnesota chapter of the Republican Jewish Coalition, Jensen cited The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich and the rise of fascism in Nazi Germany. I was there. We gave Jensen a standing ovation.
The event was off the record and closed to the press. However, the Star Tribune obtained a
The scandal surrounding the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and its abuse of taxpayer dollars to support causes backed by leftist billionaire George Soros continues to get worse. MRC Business has revealed that USAID gave a $1 million grant to Central European University, a grossly anti-American indoctrination giant founded and financed by none other than Soros himself. The grant’s period began in September of FY 2021 and is set to end in September FY 2025, with $238,609 of the total obligated grant being outlayed so far.
To illustrate just how invested Soros is in elevating CEU on the global stage, his Open Society Foundations funneled an ungodly $948,570,000
If Trump is to be successful as regards tariffs, he must look at President William McKinley’s successes and mistakes.
As a young, struggling congressman, William McKinley’s friend President Rutherford Hayes told him to specialize and develop expertise in tariff policy. McKinley's first legislative effort as a congressman was to increase tariffs in 1877. McKinley rose quickly to chair of the Ways and Means Committee. McKinley was instrumental in forming a Tariff Commission and became a framer of the 1882 Tariff Bill.
His chairmanship led to the passage of the famous "McKinley" Tariff Act of 1890. The Tariff of 1890 went too far and lacked the appropriate guardrails to
German police are investigating a violent attack at Kusel train station, where a mother and her eight-month-old baby were reportedly forcibly thrown out of a train carriage by a group of migrants. According to initial reports, the baby fell out of the stroller face down onto the ground after being ejected from the train. Eyewitnesses described the scene as chaotic, with passengers reacting in shock.
Authorities have confirmed that the mother and child received medical attention following the incident, though the extent of their injuries remains unclear. German federal police have launched an urgent manhunt for the suspects responsible. A spokesperson for the police confirmed that
Have you noticed that the Democratic playbook hasn't changed in decades? For years, their attacks on Republicans haven’t changed. It’s always the same lines. “Republicans are for tax cuts for the rich!” “Republicans want to destroy Social Security!” “Republicans want to take away healthcare!” and so on.
After these narratives have never actually proven true in generations, you would think the Democrats would try something new. But the broken record keeps spinning.
After Speaker Mike Johnson secured a narrow victory (217-213) to pass the budget resolution this week, Democrats immediately launched their predictable fear campaign, accusing Republicans of gutting Medicaid. Does the budget resolution gut Medicaid? No.
Just when we think it's safe for young women to go back into the water and compete against only women and not a bedlamite dudette in a bikini, along come activist judges to spew communism in the face of sanity.
FACT-O-RAMA! Forcing young women to compete against men—and then shower naked with them—is sick, and you'll understand if I can't let such perversian pass without mocking the brain-free, easily-controlled simps who embrace "woke" so that someone doesn't call them names like "transphobe," "thinker," or "sane."

Happy Friday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. (Snip) Before we get to the "pity poor Gaza" freaks I just wanted to come clean about something. I am not at all caught up with the Jeffrey Epstein stuff. I mean, like, all the way back to the beginning. Sure, I loved the "Epstein didn't kill himself" memes, but I never bothered to read up on much of it. All I know is that, if we do learn everything, there may be pictures of Bill Clinton spooning with Prince Andrew and an underage pool boy.
I don't have the bandwidth for that.

On Friday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Situation Room,” House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) argued that the Trump administration hasn’t focused on the problems of everyday Americans, while Democrats are “continuing to make sure that we focus on trying to make life better for everyday Americans.” And “We have to drive down the high cost of living. We have to secure the border.”
Jeffries said, “Look, what we’ve seen from the Trump administration over the last several weeks is just a flood of unprecedented extremism and a parade of horribles that continue to be unleashed on the American people, while, at the same time, the Trump administration is not focused
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC), the firebrand socialist darling of the radical left, is sweating bullets.
And who’s got her running scared? None other than America’s no-nonsense “Border Czar,” Tom Homan, who’s vowed to hold her accountable.
In a frantic letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, the New York congresswoman is scrambling to find out if the Department of Justice (DOJ) is investigating her for coaching illegal aliens on how to evade ICE.

Zelenskyy appears for an interview with Bret Baier to discuss the collapse of discussions today at the White House.
Again and again, Zelenskyy outlines his view of “security guarantees” which includes the baseline component of USA troops on the ground. Zelenskyy will not accept any negotiations or ceasefire arrangement without U.S. troops in Ukraine.
This same “security guarantee” demand (U.S. Troops in Ukraine) applies also to the minerals guarantee. WATCH:
Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo launched his bid for New York City mayor with a video posted on his X account. This comes after much speculation that the governor would launch a comeback after leaving office in August 2021.
In the announcement, Cuomo acknowledged that "the greatest city in the world" is facing several challenges, touching on rampant homelessness, "random violence," and other issues he believes are harming the Big Apple. "We know that our New York City is in trouble," Cuomo says in the launch video. "You feel it when you walk down the street and try not to make eye contact

You knew it wouldn’t take long before leftists, Neocons and Trump haters would all weigh in on the epic SmackDown at The Oval™ that took place Friday afternoon, where the president and his number two VP JD Vance weren’t buying the insolence that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was throwing down. As we reported, failed political hacks—both “former,” because nobody would consider voting for them any longer—Reps. Liz Cheney (R-WY) and Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) quickly weighed in with their unhinged takes.

The same traitors Same who colluded in Trump’s first impeachment and Russia hoax: Zelenskyy, Sullivan, Blinken, Rice, Nuland, and Vindman were the architects of Zelensky’s blowing up the peace talks. They are acting as foreign agents.
This is treasonous and most certainly a violation of the Logan Act. Ironically, this treasonous act will have the opposite effect of what they intended – chalk another up to the law of unintended consequences.
RINO Senator Lisa Murkowski has claimed that the row that broke out this week in the Oval Office made her “sick to my stomach.”
President Trump and Vice-President J.D. Vance got in a heated exchange with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in front of the world’s press on Friday, shocking people from all political sides.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy broke one of the cardinal rules of diplomacy today: Never introduce a surprise in a high-stakes meeting. This principle is sacrosanct among leaders, particularly when navigating complex international relationships. Yet, Zelenskyy employed a risky gambit, attempting to leverage media influence to strengthen his negotiating position with the nation that has already provided his country with $183 billion in aid.
At the outset of a press conference intended to pave the way for a formal agreement, Zelenskyy seized upon a reporter’s question
ebruary 28th was shaping up to be such a great day for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy: he was in Washington, D.C., set to meet with our 47th President Donald J. Trump…the sun was shining…pomp and circumstance filled the air in our nation’s capital. On the Salem news program “THIS WEEK ON CAPITOL HILL with Tony Perkins,” U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson was enthusiastically outlining the broad outline of President Trump’s plan to sign a deal with Zelenskyy, which would cede fifty percent of Ukraine’s rare earth minerals to the United States…potentially generating billions of dollars in revenue to—in part—

He noted that Trump
