Sen. Schmitt Proposes Legislation to Create
Easter Federal Holiday
Posted By: ConservativeYankee, 4/15/2025 12:25:05 PM
Easter, the holiest day on the Christian calendar, should have its own federal holiday, according to a Republican senator. Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., wrote in an X thread Monday that he introduced legislation to create a federal holiday for Easter. It would fall on the Monday after Easter Sunday. Schmitt wrote that while “81%” of Americans celebrate Easter, “our current holiday schedule makes it way too difficult for families to celebrate together.” Easter falls on the longest unbroken schedule of workdays, Schmitt wrote, with March and April being the only back-to-back months without a holiday.

Actor Vince Vaughn became the latest celebrity to visit President Trump in the Oval Office, creating a moment of levity Friday for the White House social media team.
The official White House account on social platform X posted a mock movie poster featuring a photo of Vaughn and Trump at the Resolute Desk with the title “White House Crashers,” in a nod to Vaughn’s starring role in the 2005 comedy “Wedding Crashers.”
Women on Capitol Hill have found a new way to make an often mundane, colorless place fun and lively: clothing rental services.
Subscription services such as Nuuly and Rent the Runway have become staples for staffers who work hard and want to dress well while doing it. Women’s fashion, often scrutinized while many men opt for a simple suit and tie, has long been a way to stand out in a city built on clout. The advent of mail-delivery clothing has made doing so easier and more affordable for aides living on a budget.
The services allow customers to pay a set amount to receive a box of clothing that is swapped
As a new father, I’ve learned to tread carefully through the colorful world of children’s programming, where “innocent” content can hide sinister agendas.
“Ms. Rachel,” or Rachel Griffin Accurso, a beloved figure for toddlers, is one such Trojan Horse. She has crossed a dangerous and unnecessary line by platforming the Israel-Gaza conflict.
Simply put: Why are infants being fed war narratives?
And now Accurso, whose YouTube personality is known for her sing-songy lessons, could be getting a few new listeners… from the Department of Justice.
According to the New York Post, StopAntisemitism has called for a DOJ probe, alleging Ms. Rachel’s social media posts spread “propaganda” by focusing solely on Gaza’s suffering
Former White House Chief Medical Advisor Anthony Fauci earned $3.5 million in his first year of retirement from government and may have misled Congress about the date of his departure, documents reveal.
Fauci received several six-figure deposits through 2023 totaling $1.15 million according to a 141-page financial disclosure obtained by Open The Books, a government watchdog group.
Republican leaders in the House have denied requests by Democrats to approve congressional trips to check on deportees at a mega prison in El Salvador.
With a post to X on Friday, House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) revealed a letter in which he told a pair of Democrats that he was rejecting their demand for authorization of a Congressional Member Delegation (CODEL) to visit the Terrorism Confinement Center or CECOT.
"If Democrats wish to travel to El Salvador and meet with a foreign illegal MS-13 gang member, they can spend their own money to do so,” Comer said

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has been having a grand old time bashing Elon Musk and Tesla while speaking to crowds of angry leftists in recent weeks.
The Daily Mail reports: A member of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s administration has been repeatedly caught on camera allegedly vandalizing parked Tesla vehicles with his keys while out walking his dog.
One person who works under his administration apparently took the governor’s message to heart.
A government analyst in the state was just caught keying a Tesla while he was out walking his dog. He has reportedly been arrested.
In a Friday night hearing, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg said he was “sympathetic” to activists’ concerns over the Trump administration’s deportation of illegal aliens under the Alien Enemies Act, but he doesn't “think I have the power” to stop them.
It was surely frustrating to the activist judge who always seemed to rule harshly against J6ers but has come across as extremely sympathetic to the non-citizen criminals that Trump was trying to send out of our country. A recent Supreme Court ruling tied his hands, however:
A federal judge blocked the Trump administration from deporting illegal migrants to their non-origin country without due process.
In his decision on Friday, U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy argued that the Trump administration could not deport an illegal migrant to a country not explicitly mentioned in their “order of removal without first allowing them to raise concerns about their safety,” per ABC News.
“Defendants argue that the United States may send a deportable alien to a country not of their origin, not where an immigration judge has ordered, where they may be immediately tortured and killed, without providing that person any opportunity to tell
President Donald Trump shared a photo of the tattoos on the knuckles of illegal alien Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an accused MS-13 gang member, wife beater, and human trafficker amid Democrats’ complaining about the man’s deportation to his native El Salvador. “I was elected to take bad people out of the United States,” Trump said. “I must be allowed to do my job.”
“This is the hand of the man that the Democrats feel should be brought back to the United States, because he is such ‘a fine and innocent person,'” President Trump quipped in the caption
Arizona Rep. Andy Biggs’ daughter died earlier this week after a courageous battle with cancer, he announced on social media Friday. The 37-year-old was a mother of three.
“Earlier this week, our daughter Cosette lost her battle with cancer. We are devastated by her passing, but take comfort knowing she is at peace with the Lord,” the 66-year-old Republican wrote on X.
“We are grateful our family could gather to spend her final days by her side,” he added.

– and the pounds 7 replies
Federal workers are whining about the “DOGE 15” — the added weight they’ve packed on since being dragged back to the office and worrying about their own productivity and looming layoffs.
Being back in person like the rest of the American workforce has meant kissing the gym goodbye, and leisurely walks at lunch have also gone out the window, the taxpayer-funded snowflakes complain.
“Ugh with RTO I don’t have time to walk at lunch, and my gym time in the mornings are almost nonexistent,” one Department of the Interior worker griped on Reddit.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia tells US senator

being in Salvador prison was traumatizing experience 34 replies
A Maryland father wrongly deported to El Salvador and held in a notoriously violent prison told a U.S. senator that he was traumatized by the experience.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia reported to Sen. Chris Van Hollen during a meeting in El Salvador that he was moved nine days ago from that country's Terrorism Confinement Center, or CECOT, to another facility with better conditions.
Abrego Garcia said he had been traumatized by his time in CECOT and that he had been taunted by other prisoners.
“He said he felt very sad about being in a prison because he had not committed any crimes,” Van Hollen said.

“Offend Islam” 33 replies
A group of British Muslims of Iranian origin, led by Anjem Choudary, is threatening to file a lawsuit before the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg.
They allege that Spain's traditional Holy Week processions are an “offense to Islam” and to the Prophet Muhammad, demanding their immediate ban.
The Muslim group intends to sue Spain in Strasbourg over these Catholic processions, with Choudary arguing that these religious events, rooted in Catholic tradition since 1978, are a “provocation” against Muslims.
Anti-Trumpers are planning a massive, nationwide protest against President Donald Trump as part of actions from the 50501 movement over Easter weekend.
The 50501 movement works under the phrase, “50 protests. 50 states. 1 movement” and describes itself as a group fighting to “uphold the Constitution and end executive overreach.” The organization’s next “day of action” falls on Saturday, April 19 — the day before Easter Sunday. “We are trying to protect our democracy against the rise of authoritarianism under the Trump administration,” Hunter Dunn, a spokesperson for the group, said according to the Washington Post. They claim that their group is not partisan in nature,
Democratic National Committee Vice Chair David Hogg said Friday on CNN’s “The Lead” that Democratic strategist James Carville believed in “timid” politics.
Host Jake Tapper said, “Let’s talk about what you did this week raising a lot of eyebrows here in Washington, D.J. You announced this week you’re the Vice Chair of the Democratic National Committee, but you’re raising $20 million to boost primary challengers running in safe Democratic seats against incumbent Democrats.”
He added, “Here’s James Carville.”
The Supreme Court temporarily halted the Trump administration's use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport members of the Tren de Aragua Venezuelan street gang early Saturday. A terse order issued on a 7-2 vote with Justices Thomas and Alito dissenting, the Court ordered the administration "not to remove any member of the putative class of detainees from the United States until further order of the Court."This caps off a furious day of legally maneuvering and borderline legal malpractice as the ACLU was laughed out of court in the Northern District of Texas, appealed to the Fifth Circuit and lost there, and then schlepped to the court of Resistance hero
Notorious race hustler and far-left activist Reverend Al Sharpton won’t let diversity, equity, and inclusion go down without a fight.
The Associated Press reported Thursday that Sharpton and other members of his National Action Network met with Target Chief Executive Officer Brian Cornell.
Sharton and NAN have urged consumers to avoid retailers like Target after terminating their DEI initiatives, calling for boycotts.
Essentially, Sharpton, who called his meeting with Cornell “very constructive and candid,” aims to blackmail any company no longer trying to hammer customers and employees with DEI drivel.
Former First Lady Michelle Obama was spotted in Los Angeles on Thursday without her husband former President Barack Obama, amid rumors of marital strife between the two.
But former first lady seemingly sent a signal to skeptics of her relationship as she proudly wore her diamond engagement and wedding rings as she visited The Academy headquarters in North Hollywood.
However, her husband Barack Obama was nowhere to be seen as she made a public outing with her brother and new podcast cohost Craig Robinson.
Democrat senator ignites fury as he 'sips

margaritas' with deported illegal in El Salvador 18 replies
The Democrat senator who traveled to El Salvador to meet with a deported illegal migrant and alleged MS-13 member was seen drinking what appeared to be margaritas, infuriating many online.
Chris Van Hollen, the junior senator from Maryland, met Thursday in El Salvador with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a man who was sent there by the Trump administration in March despite an immigration court order preventing his deportation.
But it was his decision to sip margaritas with Abrego Garcia, as El Salvador´s President Nayib Bukele put it, that caused a wave of outrage.
Rosie O’Donnell made good on her promise to leave the country if Donald Trump returned to the White House.
And apparently, she had a good reason for her personal health. Rosie O’Donnell has admitted she was “drinking too much” during Donald Trump’s first term in the White House - and during his recent presidential campaign, she vowed she would leave the country if he was elected again. The American talk show host revealed last month that she and her 12-year-old child Clay moved to Dublin, Ireland, to escape the Trump presidency. Since her grandparents were Irish, she is eligible to get citizenship, but said her application has yet to be approved.
The Supreme Court on April 19 temporarily blocked the Trump administration from deporting an unspecified number of Venezuelan men currently in immigration custody who are alleged to be members of a criminal gang.
The new, unsigned order granting the Venezuelans’ emergency application was issued on Saturday at about 12:55 a.m. Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented. Alito’s reasoning will be added to the court’s file later, according to the order.
“The Government is directed not to remove any member of the putative class of detainees from the United States until further order of this Court” the order states.
Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) is frantically backpedaling after his ill-conceived El Salvador publicity stunt blew up in his face. The Maryland Democrat, who initially trumpeted his mission to "rescue" a deported MS-13 gang member, is now desperately trying to rewrite the script of his adventure gone wrong.
When Van Hollen first landed in the country, he couldn't wait to broadcast his virtuous mission to the world. "I just landed in San Salvador," he proclaimed proudly, promising to secure the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, whom he claimed was "illegally abducted."
Representative Debbie Dingell (D-MI) claimed on Friday on CNN’s “The Situation Room” that the Trump administration was attacking the freedoms of speech, religion and the press.
Co-host Pamala Brown said, “You talk about due process, that brings me to the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen was able to finally get a face to face meeting with him. The administration admitted that he was wrongly deported to El Salvador. Where do you think this goes from here?”
Dingell said, “You know, I don’t know where it goes. I’m glad that the senator was able to see him yesterday.”
