Federal workers cast Trump's many Mar-a-Lago
trips as working from home
Posted By: ConservativeYankee, 3/15/2025 8:36:50 PM
One of President Donald Trump’s first actions upon entering the White House was to order federal employees to return to the office. The government workforce, he has repeatedly contended, could not be productive from home. “I happen to be a believer that you have to go to work. I don’t think you can work from home,” Trump said on Feb. 11. “Nobody’s going to work from home, they’re going to be going out, they’re going to play tennis, they’re going to play golf. They’re going to do a lot of things. They’re not working.” Three days later, Trump traveled to his sprawling Mar-a-Lago mansion in Palm Beach, where he remained for parts

Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., traded his electric Tesla Model X for a gasoline-powered Chevy Tahoe, citing his criticism of billionaire Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk as the reason for the change.
“When I bought this thing, I didn’t think it was going to become a political issue,” Kelly said in a video on his social media accounts on Friday. “Every time I get in this car in the last 60 days or so, it reminds me of just how much damage Elon Musk and Donald Trump is doing to our country.”
While Chevy makes several electric and hybrid vehicles, Kelly decided to get the Chevy Tahoe, which averages about 21 miles
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers removed a Mexican national who was convicted of kidnapping on Thursday. The criminal alien has a lengthy criminal history and has been deported eight times.
ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) officers deported 43-year-old Baltazar Pantoja Calderon to his home country late last week, according to information received from ICE officials in Houston.
According to ICE, Pantoja illegally entered the U.S. eight times. After his first arrest in May 1999, the Mexican national voluntarily deported himself to Mexico.
Gov. JB Pritzker (D-IL), a 2028 presidential hopeful, is doing an about-face by excluding older illegals from a budget-busting healthcare program he signed into law just three years ago.
After enjoying their plans for only three years, thousands of illegal migrants now stand to lose their state-funded health care to budget cuts in Illinois as Gov. Pritzker seeks to balance a huge budget deficit.
Pritzker and state Democrats earned national coverage in 2022 by creating a healthcare plan that covered illegal migrants from the ages of 42 to 64 and up, along with those under 18. But now, Pritzker is seeking to cut the plans of the 42 to 64 age group,
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) has postponed his book tour scheduled this week in Baltimore, New York, Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia amid an intense backlash from fellow Democrats over his controversial vote to advance a House Republican-drafted funding package that cuts deeply into non-defense programs.
A spokesperson for Schumer’s book tour said that it would be rescheduled due to “security concerns.”
Schumer was scheduled to barnstorm East Coast cities this week to promote his new book, “Antisemitism in America: A Warning.”
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) attacked President Donald Trump over the weekend for using the law to deport members of the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua terrorist organization.
Crockett made the remarks after Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport members of the hyper-violent organization on Saturday.
“That gang is obviously associated with a lot of crime, human trafficking, drug dealing theft, shootings, including in your state of Texas, right outside of your congressional district,” Tapper said.
“Do you agree with this?” he asked. “And, if not, what’s your issue with the U.S. using any tool at its disposal to remove undocumented violent people from this country?”
Crockett responded
MSNBC host Symone Sanders Townsend announced live on air that she’s quitting her beloved Democratic Party because she is so “p----” at Chuck Schumer siding with the Republicans on the latest spending bill.
Sanders Townsend — a former press secretary for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and senior adviser for both former President Joe Biden and his vice president, Kamala Harris — said she was done with her party because Senate Minority Leader Schumer (D-NY) folded “like a paper napkin” to President Trump.
“There’s actually little that the Senate minority leader can say, and the 10 Democrats that voted with the Republicans can say, to appease somebody like me,”
The first border wall contract of President Donald Trump’s second term, valued at approximately $70 million, was announced Saturday.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said it awarded the contract, worth $70,285,846, to the Watsonville, California-based Granite Construction Co., mandating the company to erect “approximately seven miles of new border wall in Hidalgo County, Texas, within the U.S. Border Patrol’s (USBP) Rio Grande Valley (RGV) Sector.”
The areas the new wall is expected to close off were “critical openings in the border wall that were left incomplete due to cancelled contracts during the Biden Administration,” according to CBP.
An MSNBC panel argued Monday that unchecked falsehoods from President Donald Trump and Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) head Elon Musk are to blame for Democrats’ tanking popularity.
The Democratic Party’s favorability has plunged 20% since January 2021 to a historic low of 29%, according to a Sunday CNN/SSRS poll conducted March 6-9. On “Morning Joe,” when host Mika Brzezinski asked former MSNBC host Chris Matthews about the party’s poor ratings, he asserted Americans are absorbing right-wing “lies,” claiming that “nobody” fact-checks them.
The United States Senate has overwhelmingly passed the HALT Fentanyl Act (S.331), which designates fentanyl-related substances as Schedule I drugs under the Controlled Substances Act.
The legislation, sponsored by Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA), was backed by 84 senators.
However, 16 Democrats inexplicably voted against the measure.
Their reason? Either blind partisanship or a preference for soft-on-crime policies—I’m leaning toward the latter.
If you have had difficulty finding some reason to support the Democratic Party and its increasingly bizarre policy positions, you are not alone. Two national polls released on Sunday reveal that the party’s favorability ratings have plunged to catastrophic lows. According to a new NBC News survey, just 27 percent of registered voters hold a positive view of the Democratic Party — its lowest rating since 1990. Likewise, a new CNN poll indicates that only 29 percent of U.S. adults regard the party favorably — a low not seen since 1992. These two polls confirm an equally ominous Quinnipiac survey conducted last month.
Both surveys clearly illuminate why the public

Leftists never seem to pass up a chance to demonstrate that for all their claims that Trump is a “fascist” who is bent on destroying “our democracy,” they’re the real totalitarians who are absolutely intolerant of dissent and determined to stamp it out. This played out yet again on Friday at a club called Chatterbox Jazz in Indianapolis, where a he/she/they bartender threatened a woman wearing a MAGA hat with a baseball bat and unceremoniously threw her out of the bar, as patrons sat by and laughed at the spectacle. And it’s understandable that they’d be amused: after all, this wasn’t something serious, like a Christian baker

It’s an insult that President Donald J. Trump would likely relish. All the right people hate him at this event, so he’d be happy to know they didn’t toast him. The Gridiron Dinner is a long-standing off-the-record event where the political elite, journalists, and politicians hobnob for the evening. It returned in 2022 after a lengthy hiatus due to the COVID pandemic (via The Hill).
This year, the president was not toasted for the first time in its 140-year history. The First Amendment, however, was

It will not come as a surprise to CTH readers to hear the name Judge James Boasberg associated with efforts to protect the institutional interests of a corrupt DC deep state. Boasberg has a long, very long, and well documented history of protecting the DC apparatus {CTH Archives on Boasberg HERE}. On Saturday, without giving the Trump administration any time to respond, Judge Boasberg issued an immediate temporary restraining order (TRO) blocking DHS,(snip) and ICE from deporting illegal aliens and narcotrafficking gang members belonging to Tren de Aragua (TdA), a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization.
Boasberg ordered the flights of criminal gang members to turn around and immediately
A federal judge temporarily blocked President Trump on Saturday from invoking the 18th century Alien Enemies Act to swiftly deport alleged Venezuelan gang members without a hearing – ordering any flights carrying the supposed criminals to turn around.
US District judge James Boasberg quickly ordered the Trump administration to halt all removals after the commander in chief signed off on a presidential action invoking the 1798 law – aimed at targeting Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua, The Washington Post reported.
The chief judge in the District of Columbia said he heard that “flights are actively departing”
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) went after Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) for criticizing recent Democratic party tactics. In an interview on CNN’s State of the Union, Jake Tapper confronted Crockett about the widely-mocked “Choose Your Fighter” TikTok video — which was slammed by Fetterman as “bizarre.” (Snip) “He’s not the one to talk about anything,” Crockett said. “I mean, this is a guy that doesn’t seemingly want to own a suit. own a suit, I’m not really sure. But I don’t show up in hoodies when I’m going on the floor.”

A court ordered Starbucks on Friday to pay $50 million in damages to a delivery driver who was severely burned by spilled beverages, CNN reported.
The jury in California sided with Michael Garcia, who was picking up drinks in a drive-through in Los Angeles when he was handed beverages with improperly secured lids. According to the lawsuit filed in the California Superior Court in 2020, he “suffered severe burns, disfigurement, and debilitating nerve damage to his genitals when hot drinks ultimately spilled” on his lap.
The lawsuit ultimately accused the coffee chain of breaching its duty of care by not securing the lids, according to the report.

As we’ve been reporting, President Trump invoked the 1798 Alien Enemies Act against members of the violent Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang and promptly put over 200 of them on a plane to be taken to El Salvador. While the flight was still in the air, Chief U.S. District Judge James Boasberg ordered a temporary restraining order preventing the deportation of any Venezuelans—and he also demanded that the plane turn around and return the gangsters to the U.S. (Attorney General Pam Bondi has already appealed the ruling.)
The Trump administration ignored the order, however, and the gangbangers were unloaded Sunday
SpaceX’s Crew-10 mission successfully docked at the International Space Station on Sunday morning, setting the stage to finally retrieve the two NASA astronauts who have been stuck in orbit for months.

President Donald Trump has said that Joe Biden's 11th-hour pardons of members of Congress who investigated the January 6 attack are "void, vacant and of no further effect." a post on Truth Social, Trump said that the pardons issued by his predecessor are not valid because they were allegedly signed using an autopen—a device that replicates a person's signature.
Do We Have 677 Unelected Presidents?

There are almost 700 federal district court judges. I say “almost,” because while officially there are 677 of them, some retired judges have taken senior status and may sit from time to time on cases, so the figure is inexact on any given day. Since President Trump was sworn in for a second term, there have been an avalanche of cases seeking relief from executive actions. Last month alone district court judges issued 15 temporary restraining orders. “That’s more nationwide injunctions than there were issued for the first three YEARS of the Biden Administration. District court judges are out of control.“

France should take back the Statue of Liberty because the US no longer represents the values that led France to offer the statue, a French Euro-deputy said Sunday.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has slammed the Trump administration’s decision to expel South African Ambassador Ebrahim Rasool, calling it a “racist” and “Islamophobic” act of retaliation for his country’s stance against Israel.
On Friday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared Rasool “persona non grata” after the ambassador accused President Trump of promoting white supremacy.
The South African official’s remarks came a mere week after Trump said the country “is being terrible” to its farmers and announced that farmers seeking to flee for safety reasons “will be invited into the United States of America with a rapid pathway to citizenship.”
Rubio made the announcement in a social media post,
Poor Hunter Biden. First, his meal ticket father leaves office and disappears from public view (for which blessing many of us are breathing a sigh of relief), then his California house burns up, along with a bunch of his "priceless" art. The guy just can't catch a break.
On Saturday, we learned that Hunter's woes are worsening. He was facing an uncomfortable deposition in California, but a kindly judge allowed that case to be dismissed as Hunter's too broke to continue. So now the poverty-stricken former First Son has jetted off to Cape Town, South Africa, accompanied by his Secret Service retinue, to suffer from his poverty
