SpaceX Crew-10 successfully docks at International
Space Station, paving way for stranded
NASA astronauts’ return to Earth
Posted By: 4250Luis, 3/16/2025 4:32:36 AM
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. The Space-X space capsule docked at the ISS at 12:05 a.m. EST Sunday morning after lifting off Friday from Florida. Video feed showing Crew-10’s dramatic docking onto the ISS was shared live on X. Astronaut Sunita Williams is seen shortly after the crew docked early Sunday. One camera showed the docking from the perspective of the ISS, with Crew-10 approaching as a cloudy atmosphere over Australia rotates in the background.

I think a lot of people are chomping at the bit for the Kennedy and Epstein files.
So when "Full Measure" host Sharyl Attkisson interviewed President Donald Trump, she knew she had to ask that question. Bondi said she hadn't been provided all the Epstein files from the NY FBI field office when there was a big controversy about releasing old, incomplete information. But then she demanded they turn over the rest of it. The last word was that they'd turned over a "truckload of information" that she believed was all the information on March 3.
Five Years Later: All That Was Lost

I don't know if it's maturity or just weariness, but over the past few years, I've somehow managed — finally — to develop some emotional callouses that keep me from feeling every darn thing so very much. I can see the drawbacks of that, but I also see the benefits. If I were to allow myself to perpetually swim in the emotional stew prompted by life and the world we find ourselves living in these days, I'd swift become a basket case. And ain't nobody got time for that. Consequently, I've not really allowed myself the luxury of dipping deeply into the feels of The COVID Times,

The issue of Canada becoming the 51st state arose from a conversation in Mar-a-Lago between Prime Minister Trudeau and U.S President Donald Trump.
As Secretary of State Marco Rubio outlined, Trudeau said if President Trump was to make the Canadian government pay reciprocal tariffs, open the USMCA trade agreements to force reciprocity, and/or balance economic relations on non-tariff issues, then Canada would collapse and cease to exist.
In essence, Canada cannot survive as a free and independent north American nation, without receiving all the one-way benefits from the U.S. economy. To wit, President Trump then said, if Canada cannot survive in a balanced rules environment,
A DC judge ordered the Trump administration to turn around flights deporting known members of the Venezuelan-based designated Foreign Terrorist Organization Tren de Aragua and return them to the US after he entered a temporary restraining order on the part of five gang members and created a "class" of similarly situated criminals; see Activist Nation: Judge Orders Plane Carrying Gangsters Kicked Out by Trump to Turn Around. As it turned out, the judge may not have had all the power he imagined. El Salvador President Nayib Bukele, who doesn't have to care what some desiccated megalomaniac in a black robe says, had a harsh message in response to the order.
We are in what may best be described as a swarm of Federal Judges vying for the title of the most audacious giver of laws violating the President’s Article II executive powers under the Constitution and the one whose audacity will get his or her ruling to the Supreme Court first. While we proles down here where we live with and interact with average, law-abiding, tax-paying American citizens everyday of our life may find it impossible to understand how a lawyer who took an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States-
On Saturday, we learned that Donald Trump had invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport violent members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TdA). Shortly after that, an Obama-appointed activist judge said not so fast and ordered for planes carrying these criminals to turn around.
As Matt Margolis wrote earlier, "Chief U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, apparently more concerned with the rights of foreign criminals than American safety, issued a temporary restraining order against Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act. This centuries-old law has been successfully used by multiple presidents to protect our nation from genuine threats."
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”

MAGA moon over Greenland?

Four of the five main parties on the ballot, including the ones that won first and second place, Demokraatit Party and Naleraq, favor independence from Denmark, but disagree on the pace. Greenland, whose population is approximately 57,000 people, currently operates as a semi-autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark. However, Trump’s renewed interest in the island sparked conversations about breaking away from the Danish crown. So what happens now? How long before we add them as a 51st state? Or maybe turn them into a frozen Puerto Rico? How long before the NFL plays the Super Bowl there? Or what about the NHL and that annual hockey game outdoors?
EU Accuses Trump of 'Blackmailing' Zelensky!

Yesterday’s pacifists are today’s Rambos, it seems: 442 lawmakers in the 720-seat European Parliament just agreed to a joint declaration that “strongly deplores any attempts at blackmailing Ukraine’s leadership into surrender to the Russian aggressor for the sole purpose of announcing a so-called ‘peace deal.’” Which means, less than 14% of our “friends” in the EU had the testicular fortitude to oppose this brazenly anti-American statement. Thanks, guys.
But perhaps we’re being unfair. Perhaps the EU genuinely, sincerely opposes browbeating a democratic nation — especially one that was just invaded and attacked! — into accepting a permanent, immediate, and unconditional ceasefire.
Even as the Trump administration focuses on making government efficient in ways it has not been in decades, lawmakers still can’t stop their spending habits. That’s the unfortunate takeaway from spending legislation House Republican leaders released over the weekend.
The legislation may pass with Republican votes and President Trump’s support. It represents a better fiscal vision than a bill crafted with more Democrat input. But when “better” in this case equates to “slightly less irresponsible,” it speaks to the chasm between Congress’s spendaholic ways and fiscal reality.
The communists who’ve run South Africa into the dirt since the end of apartheid — increasingly brazen in their genocidal anti-white rhetoric and deeds — may have not expected any real pushback on their illiberal racism. And why wouldn’t they expect immunity? They had gotten away with it for decades under all previous U.S. presidents, even while they touted the “international rules-based order” that is neoliberalism. (As a side note, you can always tell that Trump's writing his own communications, whether on Truth Social or elsewhere, by his telltale use of random ALL CAPS and random capitalization of the first letter of non-proper nouns in the middle of sentences.

Sacré bleu! Talk about a Napoleon complex.
Some stories don’t require a lengthy set-up. They speak for themselves (and today, they’re parlez-vous-ing exclusively in French):
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.
"Give us back the Statue of Liberty", centre-left politician Raphael Glucksmann said at a convention of his Place Publique centre-left movement.
"We're going to say to the Americans who have chosen to side with the tyrants, to the Americans who fired researchers for demanding scientific freedom: 'Give us back the Statue of Liberty,'" he told cheering supporters.
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.

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
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,”
Talk about karma!
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has been slapped with a $54,000 penalty for blatantly violating Georgia’s open records laws in her politically motivated prosecution of President Donald Trump.
“The county’s Superior Court Judge Rachel Krause formalized her ruling Friday and ordered Willis to pay $54,264 in attorneys' fees and litigation costs after ‘intentionally’ failing to provide records requested by Ashleigh Merchant, the attorney who filed the motion to disqualify Willis from prosecuting Trump on charges of allegedly interfering with the 2020 presidential election,” reports Fox News Digital.

A federal judge has called a hearing Monday on whether the Trump administration has the legal authority to deport alleged gang members and proceeded this the effort this past weekend amid a judge temporarily halting the process.
The will take place in Washington, D.C. at 5 p.m. local time, according to NBC News.
On Saturday, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg issued an order temporarily blocking the Trump administration from using the 1789 Alien Enemies Act to deport illegal migrants. However, the flights were in the air at the time of the ruling.
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.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., is postponing several events across the country this week to promote his new book amid Democratic backlash to his handling of last week's government funding fight.
“Due to security concerns, Senator Schumer’s book events are being rescheduled,” said a statement provided by Risa Heller, who is handling communications for Schumer’s book, “Antisemitism in America: A Warning.” The postponement comes as protesters were expected to attend the events after Schumer led a group of Senate Democrats to provide key votes to pass a Republican-led government funding bill backed by President Donald Trump to avert a shutdown.

President Trump revoked Hunter and Ashley Biden’s Secret Service security detail on Monday after the former first son, surrounded by more than a dozen agents, was spotted on an “ultra-luxurious” getaway in South Africa when he was due for a deposition in court.
“Hunter Biden has had Secret Service protection for an extended period of time, all paid for by the United States Taxpayer,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “There are as many as 18 people on this Detail, which is ridiculous!”
“He is currently vacationing in, of all places, South Africa, where the Human Rights of people has been strenuously questioned,”
Democratic strategist Basil Smikle on Monday blamed former President Barack Obama and independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders for weakening the party’s brand as a champion of working-class Americans.
CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten in September highlighted how strongly former President Donald Trump was performing with “working-class voters,” a demographic that traditionally leans Democratic. Smikle, on “Chris Jansing Reports,” argued that both Obama and Sanders contributed to a long-term perception that the party does not prioritize the working class — without even mentioning Trump.
