Trump's Promises Fulfilled: NASA Astronauts

Original Article

After more than nine months in space, two NASA astronauts finally returned to Earth, touching down in the Gulf of America. Their extended mission, which was initially intended to last for only two weeks, saw them endure the challenges of living in space far beyond their expected timeframe. The astronauts faced a series of technical delays and unforeseen complications, but their safe return marks a significant milestone for both the space agency and the astronauts. Williams and Wilmore returned home aboard the SpaceX Crew Dragon capsule, which had been docked at the International Space Station since September 2024. The capsule, which was initially used to transport NASA astronaut Nick Hague

This all took place in my front yard, but it was too hazy (and probably a bit too far offshore) for me to see any of it. My house is south of Tallahassee and directly on the Gulf of America. Alas, I had to settle for watching on youtube. Maybe next time...

I watched the splashdown live. Two women were narrating it. One woman had a laptop with an "X" on it. The other woman had a laptop with "NASA" on it. The woman with the NASA laptop said the astronauts could have been brought back at anytime if there was a need. NASA needs DOGE.

I hope Williams and Wilmore will be ok. Their post-mission medical history will be studied closely to help anticipate the post-mission conditions of those who will eventually be going to Mars. In my opinion, biden the cheater and the dims had to no-go a Musk rescue operation last fall because they had an election to lose and didn't want Trump, Vance, and Musk looking even better because of a daring space station rescue operation that everyone on the planet would see. Yep, TDS again.

This mission should make over 60 people SpaceX has put in orbit and returned safely with a mission cost well below any other company or NASA. Without SpaceX, the USA would not have a space program. Boeing failed and NASA failed.

A host of federal law enforcement agencies banded together with ICE to carry out deportation raids as part of Operation Take Back America within four days that ended on Friday. The United States Attorney’s office for the Southern District of Kentucky announced the arrest of 81 illegal aliens, 25 of whom now face various federal criminal charges. The operation, coordinated out of Louisville, netted illegal aliens from Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Cuba, India, and Palau. Twenty-five illegal aliens among those arrested are now facing criminal charges, including unlawful reentry after deportation or removal, illegal possession of firearms, and possession of controlled substances.

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,

President Donald Trump’s deputies deported 261 criminal migrants to detention centers in El Salvador, beating a U.S. judge’s desperate attempt to block the international enforcement of the nation’s immigration laws. Secretary of State Marco Rubio thanked the president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, for accepting 238 Venezuelan migrants: We have sent 2 dangerous top MS-13 leaders plus 21 of its most wanted back to face justice in El Salvador. Also, as promised by @POTUS, we sent over 250 alien enemy members of Tren de Aragua which El Salvador has agreed to hold in their very good jails at a fair price that will also save our taxpayer dollars.

Since returning to the White House in January, President Donald Trump has been met with an unprecedented legal onslaught from far-left activist judges and radical groups determined to sabotage his administration at every turn. These rogue judges—many appointed by Clinton, Obama, and Biden—have launched a relentless legal coup to undermine the will of the American people and prevent Trump from carrying out his constitutional duties. Appearing on The War Room with Steve Bannon, Josh Hammer, Senior Counsel for the Article III Project, warned that what America is witnessing is no ordinary judicial activism—it’s a full-blown judicial insurrection. So far this year, President Trump has faced 125 legal challenges in just two months.

Because the US is tired of subsidizing the Canadian economy while also guaranteeing their security, President Donald J. Trump has floated the shockingly unexpected idea of annexing Canada as ‘the 51st state’. The idea fell like a bomb in the great white north, and in a first poll, more than 10% of the population is already behind it. In some Canadian provinces like Alberta, the idea is gaining ground. Bison farmer Don Casselman worries that Canada is doomed and, if Alberta is to save itself, it must break away and become a US state.

A video of former President Barack Obama discussing the "tough decisions" involved in cutting massive government waste and going "after every dime" has resurfaced, prompting comparisons to President Trump and Elon Musk's efforts today. The clip, posted by the White House in June of 2011, features Obama announcing a new effort to cut government waste. Viewers couldn't help but notice the similarities between his comments and today's efforts by Musk and his crew at DOGE. "Everyone knows that getting rid of the deficit will require some tough decisions. And that includes cutting back on billions of dollars in programs that a lot of people care about," Obama explains.

The autopen affair is an incredible scandal. As we reported, many of Joe Biden's signatures on documents -- including on things like pardons -- were allegedly signed by an autopen. The Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project did a deep dive into Biden signatures and said most of what they saw was done by autopen. That raised many questions: had he even approved them, and were they valid? Then an updated story came out with a NY Post report where an unnamed aide was suspected of using the autopen without it being clear if Biden had approved.

The left is desperate to convince America that President Trump has no mandate, that he’s dividing the country, and that voters don’t support his efforts. They repeat these claims repeatedly, hoping that if they say it enough, people will believe it. But there’s just one problem. They’re wrong on every single count. A political mandate comes from the people, not the media, not the establishment, and certainly not the loudest voices on Twitter. The 2024 election results made one thing abundantly clear: the American people chose strength, leadership, and results over the chaos and incompetence of the left.

There’s a reason Democrats hate the free flow of information on X, Facebook, and other social media, and it’s not just that they simply hate hearing differing opinions, though that’s the result. If people think for themselves – and the more effective way to empower people to do that is to give them as much information as possible and allow them to draw their own conclusions – what they advocate for would be laughed off the stage. They’d never win another election, except in places where they fully control the education system and have created a welfare-dependent economy.

There’s no way to sugarcoat this for our friends on the left: the Democratic Party is imploding. After their humiliating defeat in the government funding battle, a devastating new CNN poll shows the party's favorability has cratered to an abysmal 29%—the lowest since 1992. The numbers don’t lie; this is a spectacular fall from grace. The party has hemorrhaged support, suffering a jaw-dropping 20-point collapse in favorability since January 2021, when Joe Biden was inaugurated. Even their own base is abandoning ship, with Democratic Party favorability among supporters plummeting from 81% to a pathetic 63%. Democrats can't even keep their own house in order.

And what you are seeing right now is a president who is authoritarian. He just attacked the media the other day. I think he called CNN illegal because I gather that now and then, you criticize him.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) took a shot at Senate Minority Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Tuesday for his controversial vote with Republicans last week to avert a government shutdown. Pelosi, during a press conference in San Francisco, affirmed that she had confidence in Schumer’s ability to lead the Democratic caucus in the Senate going forward, but argued that the Brooklyn Democrat made too many concessions to Republicans when he abruptly announced that he would vote to advance the GOP-crafted government funding bill. “I myself don’t give away anything for nothing,” Pelosi said. “I think that’s what happened the other day.”

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) mocked so-called “greedy” Americans for wanting to keep more of their hard-earned money and wanting less government control over their lives. During an episode on ABC’s The View on Tuesday, Schumer spoke about the recent government spending bill, which President Donald Trump recently signed. As Breitbart News previously reported, Schumer explained that he voted in favor of keeping the government open because a “Republican Senator told Democrats the plan was to ‘decimate the entire federal government.”

Walz was in the state for a campaign event on behalf of Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Susan Crawford. The event was in Eau Claire, which is Rep. Derrick Van Orden’s (R-WI) district. The winner will determine a liberal or conservative majority in the state’s highest court. Crawford is running against Brad Schimel, who received campaign donations from PACs funded by Tesla CEO Elon Musk. This connection, which became the main theme of Crawford’s recent campaign ad, prompted Walz to mention the company.

A documentary film released this weekend in more than 100 movie theaters across America explores the processes by which antisemitism exploded across university campuses, in street demonstrations and on social media following the Hamas-led atrocities in Israel on Oct. 7, 2023. It shows how throughout this vast uprising, Hamas have been celebrated as freedom fighters rather than terrorists. The film's director, Wendy Sachs, has also noted that this tsunami of anti-Israel and anti-Jewish hatred wasn't a spontaneous eruption of feeling. It was orchestrated.

An incident earlier this week has raised even more concerns regarding Senator Mitch McConnell (RINO-KY) and his health. As WDRD reported, McConnell sat down with business leaders and answered multiple questions from the media during a visit to Elizabethtown on Tuesday. The topics covered during the event included tariffs, foreign policy, and his legacy. Things then took an alarming turn when a reporter asked him about President Trump’s tariffs. During this sequence, one would think McConnell had suddenly gone deaf.
