Vice President JD Vance told the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast that learning his son wanted to be baptized was “more exciting” than Donald Trump’s victory last year. The thing that I was most excited about in November of 2024 is that the week after we won the election, my son chose to be baptized in the Christian faith,” Vance said to applause. [Snip] Vance characterized Trump as being an “incredibly good president” for Catholics. “We have an opportunity to protect the rights of the unborn in the first place, and importantly protecting the religious liberty of all people, but in particular Catholics,” he said.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he wanted the US to "stand more firmly on our side" after a fiery White House exchange with US President Donald Trump on Friday. After arriving in the UK to take part in a European leaders' summit, Zelensky urged the US to continue its support for Ukraine despite "the tough dialogue" between the two sides. (Snip) Earlier, Zelensky published a thread of 14 posts on X in which he reiterated calls for US security guarantees to form part of any "just and lasting" peace deal to end the war with Russia. He noted that Trump
President Trump, of course, is not a career politician, having come from the business world. During his first presidential campaign he started right in smashing political norms, and we remember a commentator on the television news in early 2016 noting that people couldn't figure Donald Trump's "angle" precisely for that reason; "If you keep in mind," the commenter (who is was escapes the mind at this distance in time) "...that he's not a politician, and remember that he's still basically a real-estate guy from Queens, you'll understand him better."
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.
Georgetown’s Hamas Family Values

Georgetown University has a problem that goes beyond mere ideological bias and straight into the realm of moral rot. It’s bad enough that the school rolls out the red carpet for convicted terrorists, as we’ve seen with Ribhi Karajah. But it turns out Georgetown isn’t just hosting terrorist sympathizers—it’s educating them.
Meet Mapheze Ahmad Yousef Saleh, a graduate student at Georgetown’s Center for Contemporary Arab Studies (CCAS) and, more notably, the daughter of Hamas commander Ahmed Yousef, who served as a top adviser to Ismail Haniyeh, Hamas’s political leader.
Who Is Her Father?
To understand the gravity of this situation, let’s examine Ahmed Yousef, Saleh’s father. He was not some mid-level bureaucrat
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., argued that if there is a problem with mass illegal immigration, Republicans are the ones to blame.
As Democrats continue to reel from the November election loss to now-President Donald Trump, some have argued the party needs a fresh approach to the migrant crisis plaguing the southern border.
Others, like AOC, have urged citizens to find ways to resist the president and ICE agents’ efforts to deport illegal immigrants.
National Public Radio host Steve Inskeep spoke to the congresswoman, who won office initially during Trump’s first term, about where she and her party stand now.
The fallout over the meltdown of talks between Ukraine's President Zelensky and our leaders, President Trump and Vice President Vance, is still being felt. But there was another American administration member present who had a somewhat lower profile in the blowup that concluded the meeting, that being Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Rubio, in an interview on CNN's Kaitlan Collins on Friday, went on to give not only a great summary of everything that happened leading up to the now-famous blowup, but of President Trump's Ukraine/Russia strategy altogether.

President Donald Trump says he plans to issue “a complete PARDON of Pete Rose,” baseball’s late career hits leader who was banned from MLB and the Hall of Fame for sports betting.
Trump posted on Truth Social on Friday night to say Rose, who died in September at 83, “shouldn’t have been gambling on baseball, but only bet on HIS TEAM WINNING.”
Trump did not specifically mention Rose’s tax case in which Rose pleaded guilty in 1990 to two counts of filing false tax returns and served a five-month prison sentence.
The president said he would sign a pardon for Rose “over the next few weeks.”
A new poll by Gallup has revealed that Americans' trust in the media has reached its lowest level in over 50 years. The survey indicates that only 31 percent of Americans have confidence in the media's capacity to report news accurately and fairly. This represents a significant decline compared to previous decades, reflecting growing concerns about media bias and who Americans can trust for accurate information. The findings underscore the increasing skepticism toward traditional news outlets and their ability to serve the public interest.
Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency has sent out a second mass e-mail to executive branch employees requiring them to list their weekly accomplishments by midnight Monday — but with a new requirement excepting classified information.
(Photo) The new missive hit email boxes Saturday night via the Office of Personnel Management, and bore the subject line “What did you do last week? Part II,” in a callback to last week’s DOGE email that caused an uproar and confusion.
The federal employees have until 11:59 p.m. ET Monday to write an email listing 5 bullets describing what they accomplished last week.
The email added the new requirement that targeted agencies
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. (X Video) Posting on the X platform, the Alaska Senator accused Trump of siding with Russia over Ukraine.
“This week started with administration officials refusing to acknowledge that Russia started the war in Ukraine,” she wrote.
The Pentagon is sending about 3,000 more active-duty troops to the U.S.-Mexico border as President Donald Trump seeks to clamp down on illegal immigration and fulfill a central promise of his campaign, U.S. officials said Saturday.
His defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, has ordered elements of a Stryker brigade combat team and a general support aviation battalion for the mission, the Pentagon announced. The forces will arrive along the nearly 2,000-mile border in the coming weeks. (Photo). The Defense Department’s statement did not specify the size of the deployment, but it was put at about 3,000 by the officials, who were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly
The White House event “Trump and Zelensky Meeting Staged for Media” somehow turned into “Trump v. Zelensky Cage Match.”
How did that happen? My theory is that it wasn’t exactly an accident, but it didn’t play out the way either side intended.
Bear in mind that both leaders are experienced actors – Trump as a reality TV host and Zelensky as a stand-up comedian. (Yes, Trump really was a reality TV host!) Both saw the meeting as a stage. They intended to communicate not with one another – that could have been done better in private – but with millions of viewers.
For the last decade, the establishment media have touted advocates’ claims that 15,000 transgender people are serving in the U.S. military.
But this week, President Donald Trump’s Pentagon revealed the transgender population is just 4,240 service members.
That adds up to one transgender person for every 500 service members in the United States military of 2.1 million active and reserve members.
That transgender share is just 0.2 percent, or one-fifth of one percent, of the military.
In football terms, the transgender share is just 8.6 inches on a 120-yard football field.
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
Keir Starmer warmly greeted Volodymyr Zelensky with a hug outside of Downing Street after the Ukrainian president's bruising encounter with Donald Trump.
Zelensky's furious bust-up with the US President yesterday has sent diplomatic ripples across the world - with warnings that the surreal scene in the Oval Office could spell the end of Nato.
Now the Prime Minister is hoping to act as a bridge between the American premier and his European counterparts after a successful flattery campaign on Thursday. Last night, after the clash, he talked with both leaders and a spokesman said he was 'doing all he can to find a path forward to a lasting peace'.
Tough-talking White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller has been on a roll lately, dropping brutal hot take after hot take and explaining to the lamestream media just how the Trump administration has been killing it despite the whining liberal naysayers.[snip]
What a day—I don’t recall ever seeing anything like that in my lifetime. I almost—don’t slam me, I said almost—felt sorry for Zelensky as he made a complete fool of himself. He looked entitled, ungrateful, and narcissistic, but he also looked somewhat shocked that he was taken to task.
In what he described as "one of the great moments in the history of American diplomacy," White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller shared the behind-the-scenes details of what led to the explosive confrontation between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that shocked viewers worldwide on Friday.
The heated exchange, which occurred in the Oval Office and was broadcast globally, showed Trump and Vice President JD Vance berating Zelenskyy over his apparent lack of gratitude for American aid and his reluctance to pursue a ceasefire with Russia.
Speaking on Fox News with host Jesse Watters, Miller revealed that Zelenskyy's attitude blindsided
Lawmakers in Maryland have put forward a bill that would make condoms available throughout elementary schools in the state.
The controversial bill was introduced by Democrat Del. Nicole Williams of Prince George's County. The legislation, Bill 380 would repeal a ban on condoms and other forms of contraception being available within vending machines at kindergarten, nursery, elementary or secondary public schools.Maryland’s House of Delegates advanced the bill on Friday, 89-41. It now is headed to the Democrat-controlled Senate, WMAR 2 reported.
One Republican lawmaker, Del. Kathy Szeliga, said that Democrats have “lost their minds.”
FBI Director Kash Patel on Friday evening released a statement after a female FBI agent was falsely accused of being one of the two “honeypots” from James Comey’s operation to take out Trump in 2016.
Earlier this week, Kash Patel launched an investigation into former Director James Comey’s secret “honeypot” operation involving 2 female undercover agents who targeted President Trump’s 2016 campaign, according to The Washington Times.
Last October it was revealed that according to an FBI whistleblower, former Director James Comey inserted two female agents inside the Trump campaign in 2016.
On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Ingraham Angle,” “Alex Marlow Show,” host and Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow stated that Elon Musk believes half of the government is wasteful spending and noted how the scandal of taxpayer money going to a Stacey Abrams-funded NGO was just blown through quickly.
Marlow began by saying that allegations Musk did a Nazi salute are ridiculous since nobody actually thinks Musk is a Nazi and that’s really the fundamental issue and the attack is just coming from those who don’t like him going after bureaucracy.
The FBI identified Bryan Kohberger as a potential suspect in the brutal murder of four University of Idaho students after tapping into consumer DNA databases that were supposed to be off-limits to law enforcement, according to newly released records.
The New York Times reports that in a major development in the investigation of the brutal murder of four University of Idaho students who were stabbed to death in the fall of 2022, newly released testimony reveals that the FBI used restricted consumer DNA data to identify Bryan Kohberger as a potential suspect.
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:
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
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.
The controversy erupted when Tom Homan openly criticized
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—
A reporter's recent comparison of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to Jesus Christ has sparked outrage among conservatives. They view it as a gross exaggeration and an unwarranted elevation of a foreign leader. Critics contend that such praise risks elevating Zelenskyy to a status he hasn't earned, especially given his recent controversial handling of U.S. aid and relations with President Donald Trump. Far-left outlet The Daily Beast reporter Julia Davis drew a controversial comparison, likening Zelenskyy to the Savior in a Friday social media post following his tense confrontation with President Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance
Everyone knew yesterday’s meeting between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was going to be high-stakes, with Kyiv’s survival hanging in the balance. What nobody expected was the diplomatic disaster for Ukraine that unfolded, with the two presidents descending into a yelling match on international television that may have done more damage than any battlefield defeat at Russia’s hands so far. (Snip) Wrong. Instead, Zelensky demonstrated the diplomatic skills of a first-year intern thrown into high-stakes negotiations. From the moment he walked into the White House, his casual attire caught Trump’s attention. During the now-infamous meeting, all seemed
For three years in the United States, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was heralded as the second coming of Winston Churchill. He earned standing ovations from Congress, posed for glossy photo shoots, and received regular envoys of politicians, celebrities, and press from the West.
But one moment in the Oval Office may have ended it all.
Zelensky publicly crossed his greatest ally, calling into question before the press whether President Trump and Vice President Vance, now seeking to negotiate a peace deal, really understood both the land war in his country and his enemy, Russian President Vladimir Putin. He was summarily kicked out of the White House.
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
Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is expanding beyond the federal government.
According to Newsmax, Republican governors and lawmakers in Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, and Wisconsin are following the lead of the federal government and set up their own efficiency taskforces aimed at cutting government waste.
Among those is Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who has set up a “DOGE task force” to audit spending, reduce bureaucracy, and eliminate any remaining diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs.

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.
Now former National Security Adviser, Ambassador to the U.N. and Barack Obama acolyte Susan Rice is jumping on board, and she’s got her knickers in a twist. She appeared on MSNBC
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s visit to the White House was a total disaster, where the European leader tried to use the same playbook, he masterfully used to max out aid with Biden, on President Trump. What occurred was a smackdown of epic proportions. Zelensky was there to sign a minerals deal which was never signed supposedly. Trump booted the man from the White House and canceled the joint press conference.

Joe Rogan posted a 3-hour-long interview with Elon Musk today. I haven't watched all of it yet but already there are some highlights worth sharing. For instance, here's Rogan suggesting that Trump's cabinet is like nothing American has seen in a long time. People always saw Trump as a disrupter of the status quo but now it feels like every person he's got in his cabinet are disrupters as well. This makes for interesting times. Of course DOGE is probably the biggest disrupter so far in this term and was a major topic of the conversation.
The brunt of the hours-long interview focused on DOGE, Musk’s chainsaw wielding department
Donald and Elon: A Gov Story
replies
Donald Trump and Elon Musk prove that the whole is greater than the sum of its two parts.
There have been many famous pairs in history. Rodgers and Hammerstein. The Wright Brothers. Oppenheimer and Groves. Laurel and Hardy. The list could go on. One new addition will be Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
The two make an interesting pair. Both were liberal in the past and supported Democrats. Both are businessmen who have seen their fair shares of ups and downs in their respective fields. But the two of them came to the realization that together they could do things that previous presidents either never tried or could not get done.
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
FBI Director Kash Patel suggested introducing UFC-style physical fitness programs to enhance the agency's physical preparedness and overall fitness levels. Patel argued that incorporating the rigorous training methods used by UFC fighters could help improve the physical capabilities of FBI agents, ensuring they are better equipped to handle the demands of their high-stakes work. During a video call this week with the FBI’s 55 field offices, Patel first mentioned his proposed plan to have UFC trainers train FBI agents in physical fitness, martial arts, and self-defense skills.
Trust for mass media among the American people is at its lowest point in 50 years, according to new polling from Gallup.
It’s very easy to see how this happened.
The vast majority of people in media act like they are nothing more than Democrat activists. They pushed anti-Trump lies like Russia collusion and the ‘fine people on both sides’ hoax for years and have never apologized.
People like CNN’s Jake Tapper covered up Biden’s obviously declining mental state for years and is now putting out a book on the topic, as if he had nothing to do with it.
Democrats have learned nothing from the backlash to their constant lies about then-President Joe Biden’s mental decline.
In an interview with Puck, onetime top Biden aide Michael LaRosa admitted the obvious: The staff knew that the ex-prez’s “age was an issue” from “Day 1” and opted for “gaslighting” the public when his behavior raised alarms.
Yet in the same breath, he pushed back against calling this a “coverup” as “a little harsh.”
Not remotely harsh enough, in fact: That the Bidenites, Dems in general and most of the press kept up the deception so long has earned them a lasting distrust — and owning up to the wrong is the necessary first step
