Saudi Diplomat: Trump Leading ‘New World
Order’ of Peace and Cooperation
Posted By: Dreadnought, 3/8/2025 2:17:58 AM
President Donald Trump is ushering in a new age of peace, stability and cooperation in the region, according to Hassan bin Youssef Yassin, a senior Saudi diplomat and advisor to King Salman bin Abdulaziz, who expressed strong support for the President’s efforts to create a “new world order” based on coexistence and cooperation, as he urged Arab nations to back his initiative as they did in the past. In an article published Tuesday in Arab News, Yassin argues that President Trump’s shift to diplomacy — particularly with global powers — offers an opportunity to resolve long-standing conflicts, including the Arab-Israeli dispute.

Ukraine may not be able to survive against Russia even with U.S. support, President Donald Trump said in a Fox News interview that aired on Sunday.
“Well, it may not survive anyway,” Trump said in an interview on Sunday Morning Futures when asked about his decision to roll back U.S. aid for Ukraine. “We have some weaknesses with Russia. It takes two. Look, it was not going to happen — that war and it happened. So now we’re stuck with this mess.”
“I just don’t think he’s grateful,” Trump added, referring to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
The worst part about being chairman of the College Republican club at my school (shoutout to JMU) was constantly being hit on by babes. I’d tell them, “Stop, please, I’m trying to do important work here. Go harass the football star instead.” But NOOOO. They just wouldn’t leave me alone. I never had a moment’s peace.
Because, obviously, nothing’s sexier than being in a political party. It’s the coolest thing ever!
Okay, I’m lying. Most of the time, talking politics is an anti-aphrodisiac: People either don’t care at all — or they care WAY too much. (Hide the knives.) Neither party had a positive Q rating,

Alzheimer's: Officials 13 replies
The causes of deaths of actor Gene Hackman and his wife, Betsy Arakawa, were revealed by officials on Friday, more than one week after the couple was mysteriously found dead in their Santa Fe, New Mexico, home.
Hackman, 95, died of cardiovascular and Alzheimer's disease likely around Feb. 18, about one week after his wife died from a rare syndrome, hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, on about Feb. 11, officials said. Hackman's death was from "hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, with Alzheimer's disease as a significant contributory factor," Dr. Heather Jarrell, chief medical investigator for the state's Office of the Medical Investigator, announced at a news conference.
Three U.S. Army soldiers, two active and one former, were arrested on Thursday for selling sensitive military documents and information to buyers in China.
Li Tian and Ruoyu Duan were charged in Oregon for “conspiring to commit bribery and theft of government property,” the Department of Justice said. Jian Zhao was charged in Washington for the same crimes but also for “conspiring to obtain and transmit national defense information to an individual not authorized to receive it.” The unauthorized recipients were based in China.
Reps. Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Laura Gillen (D-NY) appear to be among the very few in their party to criticize the behavior of Democrats during President Donald Trump’s Tuesday evening joint address before Congress, stating that they stood up for young cancer fighter DJ Daniel when others did not.
In an anecdote shared to X on Thursday, Khanna began by recounting what a flight attendant told him while he was traveling this week: “Jim Barrett, a flight attendant, politely chased me down at Chicago Airport,” the congressman wrote. “‘Sir, I am a Democrat but the way the party behaved was embarrassing. Made us look heartless.
Poll: Public Opposes ‘Gold Card’ Visa Plan
31 replies
The public does not like President Donald Trump’s plan to sell “Gold Card” citizenships to wealthy foreigners, according to a Rasmussen poll.
The Gold Card plan is strongly supported by only 22 percent of likely voters, including just 38 percent of Republicans, according to the February 27 to March 3 poll of 1,180 likely voters.
The plan to sell Gold Cards for $5 million is strongly opposed by 33 percent of all respondents, including 36 percent of “moderates.”
Overall, the plan is strongly or somewhat backed by 41 percent and opposed by a plurality of 47 percent.
That opposition matches the national mood, which is increasingly opposed
With the Trump administration and Congress focused on cutting waste, fraud, and abuse from the federal budget, there’s an effort underway to make sure public broadcasting ended up under the microscope. The notion that public broadcasting would be held to any form of accountability, including the possibility they broke federal law, was apparently beyond the pale for former Washington Post executive editor Marty Baron, who vented to CNN International’s Christiane Amanpour on Wednesday. “And Trump is working in a very determined way to try to undermine the press in every conceivable way that he can. And we are only, well, not that many weeks into this administration,”
If Hollywood’s answer to Donald Trump’s first months at the White House in 2017 was resistance, the 2025 edition so far appears more muted and a tad indifferent.
The Academy Awards eight years ago celebrated diversity as Trump implemented his “America First” vision for the country that thrusted actors and other talent onto the frontlines of the culture wars. Warren Beatty invoked politics in his presentation of the best picture nominees, observing that those movies, of which Barry Jenkins’ Moonlight emerged as the winner, “show us the increasing diversity in our community, and our respect for diversity and freedom all over the world.”
ActBlue, the leading fundraising platform for Democrats, is in disarray after at least seven senior officials resigned and a company lawyer alleged that the platform had retaliated against him, the New York Times reported.
The exodus comes as congressional Republicans investigate ActBlue's security and fraud-prevention measures, including to what degree it works to block illegal foreign donations. Among those who have left are longtime ActBlue officials, such as the associate general counsel and chief revenue officer, though the exact reasons for their departures remain unclear, according to the Times.
The upheaval deals a heavy blow to the Democratic Party
Democrats stepped in it big time with their behavior at President Donald Trump's Joint Address to Congress.
They had been warned by House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (NY) not to make a spectacle of themselves, to make a "strong, determined and dignified Democratic presence in the chamber."
But instead, they made fools of themselves not just holding up the silly bingo signs, but creating a ruckus, with Rep. Al Green (D-TX) waving around his cane and getting booted out. Some of them also walked out during the speech and then play-acted about how tough they were after. Now, there's more evidence the Democrats are in disarray.
President Donald Trump is limiting the power of billionaire Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency after hosting a meeting Thursday with cabinet secretaries.
Trump shared an update about the cabinet meeting on Truth Social and explained his belief that cabinet secretaries and DOGE should be more precise in who they fire from government positions.
“DOGE has been an incredible success, and now that we have my Cabinet in place, I have instructed the Secretaries and Leadership to work with DOGE on Cost Cutting measures and Staffing. As the Secretaries learn about, and understand, the people working for the various Departments, they can be very precise

Folks, it's official. Kamala Harris is beginning to contemplate what needs to be done in terms of recognizing the importance of understanding the steps she must take to seriously consider thinking about running for governor of California in 2026. This bombshell revelation was exclusively reported by Eugene Daniels, the Politico fashion icon and "Kamala Harris expert" who will soon join MSNBC as weekend show cohost. It was his "final scoop" for the Virginia-based news blog, which is located many, many floors below the Washington Free Beacon. According to Daniels, the failed presidential candidate is getting "serious about considering" a run
Senator Andy Kim (D-NJ) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that it was “offensive” Republicans and President Donald Trump were blocking transgender students from playing in women’s sports
Kim said, “We want to make sure that these decisions are made by the communities whether it’s schools and and others that are the ones closest to us. And understand what we know is that we’re talking about a handful of people, a handful of athletes around the country. These decisions can be made in a way that doesn’t require the entirety of the federal government to come in on top of that. You know what I’ll just say
Many documents signed by President Joe Biden were done so using an autopen,
according to a new report by an arm of the
conservative Heritage Foundation, sparking
questions over who was pulling the strings
during the former president's four years in
office.
'Whoever Controlled the Autopen Controlled the Presidency,' the Oversight Project wrote in a post on X on Thursday.
'We gathered every document we could find with Biden's signature over the course of his presidency. All used the same autopen signature except for the announcement that the former President was dropping out of the race last year,' it continued.
Gurpreet Singh was handcuffed, his legs shackled and a chain tied around his waist. He was led on to the tarmac in Texas by US Border Patrol, towards a waiting C-17 military transport aircraft.
It was 3 February and, after a months-long journey, he realised his dream of living in America was over. He was being deported back to India. "It felt like the ground was slipping away from underneath my feet," he said.
Gurpreet, 39, was one of thousands of Indians in recent years to have spent their life savings and crossed continents to enter the US illegally through its southern border, as they sought to escape an unemployment crisis back

As Catholics around the world celebrate Lent, the Vatican, under the stewardship of radical leftist Pope Francis, wants to make sure that Ramadan is at the forefront.
In a Ramadan message to Muslims, authored by Prefect George Jacob Cardinal Koovakad and Secretary Msgr. Indunil Kodithuwakku Janakaratne Kankanamalage, the Vatican highlighted that the two religious seasons seasons coinciding is “a unique opportunity to walk, side by side.”
The message, addressed to the Church’s ‘Muslim brothers and sisters,’ reads, “At the beginning of the month of Ramadan, the Dicastery for Interreligious Dialogue offers you its warmest greetings and friendship. This time of
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) on Saturday joined in on the new Democrat strategy to fight back against President Trump's agenda, which involves cursing to seem super-edgy while producing videos worthy of entry into the Cringe Hall of Fame.Swalwell took to TikTok and posted a video where he joked that Elon Musk is secretly the "real" president and yet somehow didn't speak at the joint address to Congress this past week.
"What a f****** week, huh?" the bleary-eyed congressman says, holding his phone in selfie mode. "You know how weird this week was?"
"I went to the State of the Union, and the president didn't even speak. He just sat up
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) announced a further wave of contract terminations late Saturday, noting that they also identified thousands of cases where more than $300 million in loans were granted to children.
The announcements come as the Elon Musk-led agency continues to root out waste, fraud and corruption in the federal government.
DOGE said it identified that the Small Business Administration (SBA) granted nearly 5,600 loans for $312 million to borrowers whose only listed owner was 11 years old or younger at the time of the loan. The loans were issued in 2020 and 2021 – while the world struggled with the COVID-19 pandemic – and it is unclear
Liberal Evanston, Illinois, a northern suburb of Chicago, is the first U.S city to issue slavery reparations.
The city committed $20 million to the program to come from tax collected from cannabis sales.
The first group of persons eligible for $25,000 payments are current Evanston residents who identify as Black or African American and were at least 18 years of age between 1919 and 1969. Evanston refers to this group as “ancestors.”
During a Reparations Committee March listening session, a pause of the program was announced after projections based on 2019 came in lower than expected.
Utah Republicans are making a stand for election security, passing legislation that will dramatically change how mail-in ballots are handled in the state. The GOP-controlled Legislature has approved legislation that would end universal mail-in voting and implement stronger voter identification requirements. The bill now awaits the signature of Republican Governor Spencer Cox, who has already signaled his support.
For years, Utah has been one of the few Republican-led states that embraced universal mail-in voting, which automatically sends ballots to every registered voter. But amid growing concerns about election integrity, particularly from voters who have watched election chaos unfold in other states, Utah lawmakers are taking action
Mark Carney, the former head of the UK and Canada central banks, was named Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s successor Sunday and immediately fired shots at President Trump in his victory speech.
Carney, 59, overwhelmingly won the race to lead the country’s federal Liberal party on Sunday after taking home 86% of the ballots, making him the first outsider with no real political background to become Canadian prime minister. (Photo) The longtime banker will take the reins of Canada during a contentious period between the country and the US as Trump has threatened to impose additional tariffs that would cripple the northern country’s export-dependent economy — and to make Canada
Independent Veterans of America CEO Paul Rieckhoff claimed Friday on MSNBC’s “The 11th Hour” that Ukrainians are “more American” than the American people.
Rieckhoff said, “Donald Trump has completely betrayed Ukraine. He has stabbed them in the back and every week he needs to twist it and drive it deeper with a new move that cuts more of their legs out from under them.” Host Stephanie Ruhle asked, “What do you say to the person who says, I don’t care about Ukraine, I want Donald Trump to stand up for Russia?”
