Former first lady Michelle Obama voiced deep concerns about what’s happening to migrants under President Trump’s aggressive deportation policy, railing against its impact on her home city of Chicago. During a conversation about race and fear, the former first lady acknowledged that she has a pretty protected lifestyle, while fretting that everyday people living outside her bubble might be suffering. “In this current climate, for me it’s what’s happening to immigrants,” Obama, 61, told “On Purpose with Jay Shetty” during a podcast episode that dropped Monday when asked her most “recent test of fear.” “It’s not the fear for myself anymore,”

FTA - "“It’s not the fear for myself anymore,” she continued. “I drive around in a four-car motorcade with a police escort. I’m Michelle Obama. I do still worry about my daughters in the world, even though they are somewhat recognizable.”" Oh, come on, Mike. It's not that bad. Besides, Obie is doing his own thing lately.

Years ago, I read an article about Jeremiah Wright's "Down Low Club" that paired gay black men in the church to "often unattractive and difficult to deal with straight black women who never have boyfriends (since guys don’t want to have anything to do with them)." The writer continued by describing the women as "heifers." Those statements described Mooch to a "T." You'd think she'd be more grateful to Barry O. who gave her a life far in excess of what she could have earned on her own, but nooooo, she's still angry and complaining. What a tiresome broad she is.

Donald Trump totally humiliated disgraced Democrat Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in a made-for-TV moment in Michigan. While speaking to Michigan National Guardsmen on Tuesday, the president spotted Whitmer in the crowd. 'I want to thank Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer," Trump said. 'You know, I'm not supposed to do that. She's a Democrat. They say, don't do that, don't have her here. I said, 'no, she's going to be here... she's done a very good job.' He then called her up in what appeared to be a spur-of-the-moment decision. 'Well, I hadn't planned to speak...' she replied in a cringeworthy moment.

Treasury Dept. Rejects Over $300 Million

Verification System

Posted by ConservativeYankee 4/29/2025 9:20:59 PM Post Reply
The U.S. Department of the Treasury has blocked its first improper payment requests using a new automated payment verification system spearheaded by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). DOGE announced Tuesday that Treasury identified and rejected $334 million in improper payment requests due to missing budget codes, invalid budget codes, and budget codes with no authorization. Invalid budget codes include budgets that had already been fully spent. Unauthorized codes refer to payments not linked to the budget. Prior to DOGE’s intervention, the Treasury’s accounting code was optional for the $4.7 Trillion in payments that go out each year, making traceability almost impossible

Something is “very, very wrong” in Beijing right now, according to foreign policy expert Gordon Chang, who is signaling more “end-of-regime conduct” coming out of Xi Jinping’s China. “At a time when China needs friends because it’s not selling goods to the US, it is going out of its way to antagonize not just the Philippines, not just Taiwan, but also South Korea and Australia,” Chang, a senior fellow with the Gatestone Institute, said on “Mornings with Maria” Monday. “This shows that… this is end-of-regime conduct, because Xi Jinping, he can’t appear to be giving in to the US,” he added.

President Trump’s promised renovation of the White House Rose Garden will begin in a “couple of weeks,” chief of staff Susie Wiles told The Post Tuesday. The president has been keen on revamping the executive mansion to be more functional — and to adhere more closely to his personal style. Trump has already redone the Oval Office, adding gold embellishments from Mar-a-Lago and lining the walls with portraits of presidents — but has also made plans to pave the grass portion of the Rose Garden and add a ballroom. “He’s not going to pave over the Rose Garden. The Rose Garden will look exactly as it does,” Wiles clarified

The first 100 days of President Donald Trump’s second administration have revealed at least one unmistakable truth. In short, the federal judiciary poses a serious threat to the freedom of the American people. On Monday, according to The Washington Times, the U.S. Supreme Court announced that it would not take up a case involving a challenge to a sweeping and patently unconstitutional California gun-control law. Incredibly, California law bans gun shows on state property, including fairgrounds. The plaintiffs in B&L Productions v. Gavin Newsom had asked SCOTUS to provide relief by blocking the law — already upheld by the notoriously liberal 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals — and then hearing arguments. But

The Trump White House is amazing. They know how to outmaneuver, humiliate, and expose the legacy press at every turn. They lined the White House property with illegal aliens they’ve apprehended, which would be present for every media hit the major outlets have outside the briefing room. To combat this, some outlets, like CNN, have blurred the faces of the criminal scum. This reaction, however, is not shocking. It's very predictable, especially for a virulently anti-Trump network like CNN.

The footage showed multiple passengers barging past barriers to trade blows. At one point, a man was shoved to the floor before a handful of others started violently pummeling him.

A bill that would decriminalize welfare fraud under $25,000 in California for simple administrative errors is being pushed by a Democratic lawmaker. State Sen. Lola Smallwood-Cuevas introduced Senate Bill 560, which would delete criminal penalties for welfare fraud below $25,000, and delete a provision for criminal penalties for any attempt at welfare fraud below $950, according to the legislation, which was introduced in February. "California’s safety net should lift families up, not trap them in poverty," Smallwood-Cuevas told Fox News Digital. "Right now, a missed deadline or paperwork mistake can lead to felony charges that tear families apart — even when there’s no intent to deceive."

Spain’s power network has remained silent on the actual cause of Europe’s worst power blackout in a generation, but has acknowledged that it is “very possible” that a problem with solar power systems may have contributed to the failure. A freak weather incident was blamed on Monday for a massive power cut that affected the entire Iberian Peninsula, depriving Spain and Portugal of electricity. However, this narrative was quickly questioned by energy industry insiders, and Spain’s national energy company now acknowledges that renewable power failure may have been a contributing factor.

It wasn’t long ago that a California governor made it clear that oil refineries were not welcome in his state. Then another California governor asked regulators to loosen the chains on refineries to ensure that they will be profitable and remain in the state that every day burns an enormous volume of gasoline. Actually, it is the same governor, one who has turned his attention from playing to his hard-left, blue-state constituency to shifting toward the middle for a 2028 White House run. It was just last summer when Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a “plan to prevent Big Oil ‘profit spikes’” that would also “save Californians money at the pump.”

I realize this may blow Democrats' minds, but 100 days into President Donald Trump’s second term, most of the millions of Americans who cast their vote for him are still happy they did. And Trump has not been twiddling his thumbs in these first months back in the Oval Office. There’s plenty to like or dislike, from his large number of executive orders to his federal cost-cutting bonanza with Tesla CEO Elon Musk. So, it’s telling that a recent poll shows the vast majority of Trump supporters would vote for him again now, if given the opportunity for a do-over.

A cardinal symptom of TDS is the characterization of Trump as Adolf Hitler and a Nazi. The left, not noticeably given to introspection or critical thinking, obviously fails to recognize its own Nazism. A fundamental tenet of Nazism is that all power be vested in the state. Similarly, the Democrat party strives to establish a government that controls society via regulations and central planning — the Green New Deal, E.V. mandates, vaccination mandates, socialized medicine, wealth redistribution, community planning, public education, judicial activism, Obama’s “Life of Julia”, erosion of competing allegiance to family and faith
