President Trump delivered the commencement speech for the U.S. Military Academy at West Point on Saturday morning, declaring at one point that the 2025 class consists of the “first West Point graduates of the Golden Age of America.” “This is the Golden Age. I tell you, promise, we’re in a new age,” Trump told the graduates in New York, vowing that they are “going to lead the Army to summits of greatness.” The speech, which lasted just under an hour, offered a mix of shoutouts to individual cadets for their personal achievements and words of advice while at times delving into culture war issues —

Please stop telling me how good things are. I will decide that for myself. I dont need political consultants' idea of what the best lie is to fool the idiots. Democrats have been doing that forever and we always spotted it for what it was. Now the republicans are doing it and we fall right in line and believe it. I had a general once who got to the base and named it "the happiest pace on earth". Maybe he had a cute and available secretary, but for the rest of us it was the same wasteful pointless BS. Yes I'm getting more and more cynical. It came from being hopeful and optimistic, just to have those feelings dashed into the rocks by professional liars and cheats from both parties called politicians.

Watching the commencement address, I couldn't help thinking that the graduating cadet's had over 3.5 years of Marxist/Islamist indoctrination and only four months of service under a legitimate, America-first commander-in-chief, leaving them with around 90 percent of their academy experience being honed as Delta-Echo-India (DEI) war fighters, in some ways being radicalized as if they were '68 Berkeley grads or current Harvard and Columbia grads.

7 most likely successors to Trump in 2028 31 replies

While President Trump says it’s too soon to back a successor for his party’s 2028 presidential nod, the jockeying and tea-leaf reading has begun in the search for the next GOP leader. The president himself suggested Vice President Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are possible contenders. Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., suggested this past week that he was keeping the door open to a possible run after his father leaves the White House, acknowledging “that calling is there.” Some swing state governors have also made moves that stoked speculation of presidential ambitions this cycle. Here are the seven most likely successors to Trump in 2028:
Thom Tillis Wants You To Forget His Role
In Tanking Ed Martin’s D.C. Attorney Nomination

It’s becoming pretty clear that Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., desperately wants voters to forget his role in helping sink Ed Martin’s nomination to serve as U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia. Throughout the past week, the Tarheel State’s senior senator — who is up for reelection next year — has posted a series of tweets seemingly aimed at portraying himself as a reliable ally of President Trump and his administration. From lavishing praise on Trump’s Middle East trip and “Golden Age” presidency to lauding the law enforcement efforts of Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel, the apparent rear-smooching campaign has been nothing short of pathetic.

Former FBI Director James Comey appeared to call for the assassination of President Donald Trump in a social media post Thursday, but his outburst is just one in a long line of far-left lunatics whose extreme rhetoric has laid the groundwork for violence — and assassination attempts — against conservative political figures. The social media featured a seashell arrangement of the numbers “8647” — a clear reference to the numbers “86” meaning “to get rid of,” and “47,” the presidency number of Trump’s second term in office. The Trump administration said it was taking the threat seriously,

FBI Director Kash Patel announced Friday that the bureau is leaving its longtime DC headquarters in the J. Edgar Hoover Building and transferring 1,500 employees to locations around the country. “This FBI is leaving the [J. Edgar] Hoover Building because this building is unsafe for our workforce,” Patel told Fox Business Network anchor Maria Bartiromo in an interview set to air on Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures.” “We want the American men and women to know if you’re going to come work at the premier law enforcement agency in the world, we’re going to give you a building that’s commensurate with that, and that’s not this place,”

Fox News' chief political anchor, Bret Baier, called out members of the media and said that America just "didn't trust" what they were being told as one of the reasons for President Donald Trump's victory. During Baier's interview for Politico's Deep Dive podcast, the host of "Special Report with Bret Baier" was asked about Trump's reelection and "who's to blame for the lack of trust in the media, for the loss of trust in the media." "Well, the media. I mean, we went after collectively, and I say broadly, stories that didn't pan out and went overboard on covering some of it," Baier said.

If you listened to Ed Martin naming the people within the lawfare community of DC operatives who are actively working to weaponize the legal system to block and attack reform efforts within the DOJ, then you likely understand the origin of these latest maneuvers. Outgoing USAO Ed Martin, and current head of the DOJ ‘weaponization working group’ has revealed that Lawfare operators have filed ethics complaints in an effort to challenge his legal license. This is what happens when the U.S. Attorney General, Pam Bondi, doesn’t face down the internal lawfare operation within Main Justice severely enough.

In 1988, Donald Trump appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show and warned that unfair and unfree trade was damaging the domestic economy and particularly decimating the working class. Back then, Trump’s main concern was Japan, which was experiencing an “economic miracle” based on a huge increase in imports of cars, electronics, and other goods to the United States. Today, the United States faces an economic foe that makes the threat posed by 1980s Japan look miniscule. The sudden and spectacular rise of China, especially since it was allowed to join the World Trade Organization in 2001,

New York business groups are blasting Attorney General Tish James for a pro-consumer push that they fear would be a legislative misfire — boosting greedy lawyers and unleashing “legal shakedowns.” James’ FAIR Business Practices Act looks to tighten up consumer protections to crack down on shady crimes like deed theft, junk fees and hard-to-cancel subscriptions, but critics said it will open up small businesses to frivolous lawsuits and legal threats. “The so-called FAIR Act would be anything but fair to New York’s business community, especially Main Street businesses,” said Tom Stebbins, executive director of the Lawsuit Reform Alliance of NY.

On Sunday it was reported that President Donald Trump accepted an Qatar’s offer of a jumbo jet to serve temporarily as Air Force One after Boeing failed to deliver the long-promised replacement aircraft. But the real story here is that Boeing, the Department of Defense’s premier contractor, has been delayed years on a project vital to national security. “We’re very disappointed that it’s taking Boeing so long to build a new Air Force One,” Trump said on Monday morning during a press conference. “You know, we have an Air Force One that’s 40 years old.

In just two years, a former Southern California educator has taken a steep fall from “teacher of the year” to a 30-years-to-life prison term for sexually abusing two of her sixth-grade students. A Chula Vista Superior Court Judge in San Diego County Friday sentenced Jacqueline Ma, 36, to the prison term after she pleaded guilty in February to two counts of forcible lewd acts on a child, one count of lewd acts on a child, and one count of possessing child sexual abuse material. Only two years ago, Ma was being featured on local television explaining “how she connects with distracted students.”

A second Maine school district has voted to revoke its pro-transgender policies in defiance of Democrat Gov. Janet Mills. The state’s Regional School Unit (RSU) 24 school board voted on Tuesday to join the Hodgdon School Board in scrapping its transgender policies, which included allowing students to use bathrooms and facilities based on a created “gender identity” rather than biological reality, the Maine Wire reported. In a 7-1 vote RSU 24 voted to rescind its previous transgender policy (pictured here) which also included recognizing the student’s identity even in defiance of the parent’s wishes. I applaud and support the Board’s courage and action on this matter,”

As we often remind ourselves, maintaining a leftist ideology is contingent upon pretending not to know things, and that applies even when you are discussing the opposition not doing something that you yourself never did. During a recent podcast interview, President Obama’s former National Security Advisor, Susan Rice, takes the pretending to stratospheric levels needed in order to retain Obama-level pretending. The criticism she rails against is so hilariously hypocritical I find myself wondering if anyone ever were to call her out, could she even respond.Susan Rice complains about President Trump having a relationship with the duplicitous “Qataris,” who she proclaims are terribly nefarious and dastardly,

The Democrats reportedly plan to spend $20 million as part of an elaborate plan to win back all the young men President Donald Trump captured. According to the New York Times, top Democrat donors have been huddling it up at luxury hotels since the 2024 election in an effort to turn the tide on young men. “Democratic donors and strategists have been gathering at luxury hotels to discuss how to win back working-class voters, commissioning new projects that can read like anthropological studies of people from faraway places,” national political correspondent Shane Goldmacher wrote.

Far from helping to end the war in Ukraine, all the indications suggest that US President Donald Trump's mediation efforts are not only prolonging the conflict, but increasing the likelihood that Russia will ultimately emerge victorious. Indeed, far from showing any interest in ending Russia's military offensive in Ukraine, the Russian leader has given every intention that he intends to continue fighting until victory has been achieved. Nor does there appear to be any serious prospect that Trump will be willing to hit the Kremlin with further sanctions, let alone military encouragement, if it fails to show any serious interest in peace negotiations.

Former New York Democrat Congressman Charles Rangel has passed away. He was 94. Rangel served 23 terms in Congress. He was elected to Congress in 1970 and retired in 2017. “A towering figure in American politics and a champion for justice, equity, and opportunity, Congressman Rangel dedicated over four decades of his life to public service,” the Rangel family said in a statement. NYC Mayor Eric Adams released a statement on Rangel’s death. “I am so sad to lose a dear friend and exemplary model of devotion and courage. My prayers are with his family, Harlem, and all who knew him,” Adams said.

The first pictures have emerged of a North Korean warship seemingly covered in tarpaulin after it capsized and sank in front of dictator Kim Jong Un. Satellite images appear to show the naval destroyer languishing on its side alongside the dock where a launch ceremony had been held. But the launch failed, and analysis of pictures taken on Thursday suggest the ship is now partially submerged and covered with bright blue tarpaulins in an apparent attempt to conceal the wreckage. State media said the the 5,000-ton ship, which had been due to enter service next year, is designed to carry weapons systems including nuclear-capable ballistic and cruise missiles.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that there were “more than 1.4 million illegal aliens on Medicaid.” Johnson said, “We are not cutting Medicaid in this package. There‘s a lot of misinformation out there about this.” He continued, “The numbers of Americans who are affected are those that are entwined in our work to eliminate fraud, waste and abuse. And what do I mean by that? You got more than 1.4 million illegal aliens on Medicaid. Medicaid is not intended for non-U.S. citizens. It‘s intended for the most vulnerable populations of Americans, which is pregnant women and young single mothers, the disabled, the elderly.

A Titanic Blunder for a Tinpot Regime There’s a poetic kind of justice when a dictatorship’s propaganda parade ends as soggy scrap metal. North Korea, the Hermit Kingdom so fond of choreographed triumphs and goose-stepping grandeur, recently tried launching a 5,000-ton “stealth” destroyer, only to have it tip sideways into the sea like a child’s bathtub toy. This wasn’t just a mishap. It was a symbolic faceplant: the world’s most belligerent pariah state, fresh off a backroom weapons-for-bodies deal with Vladimir Putin, found its supposed symbol of strength literally sideways and broken. Karma, it seems, sometimes comes in the shape of a capsized hull.

Make no mistake about it: The Democratic Party is facing an existential crisis that even their media allies can't spin anymore. The New York Times, the crown jewel of the liberal media establishment, just published a devastating analysis showing how the Democrats' supposed stronghold on American politics has crumbled under the MAGA movement. While Democrats continue their tired routine of Trump-bashing and pretending to care about working Americans, the numbers tell a completely different story. The Times' analysis reveals a political earthquake that's reshaping the electoral landscape, and it's not in the Democrats' favor. “All told, Mr. Trump has increased the Republican Party's share of the presidential vote in each election

In a previous column, I detailed Michael Mann’s unraveling legal crusade, focusing on his courtroom defeat and the staggering financial penalty levied against him. Readers' responses were passionate, particularly about the absence of commentary on Mark Steyn. Let me be direct: the omission was intentional. The Mann saga deserved focus, and Steyn’s fight deserves its own chapter. This is that chapter. Author, broadcaster, and unflinching cultural critic Mark Steyn did not merely weather a defamation trial. He survived it physically, financially, and morally when most would have buckled under the strain. What began as a battle over words became a battle over the soul of free speech.

This group, dubbed the “politburo,” included a coterie of seasoned political veterans, including Mike Donilon, Steve Ricchetti and Bruce Reed — but also family members such as first lady Jill Biden and the president’s son Hunter, the authors of “Original Sin” claim. “In terms of who was running the White House, it’s a small group of people that have been around,
