The Trump administration is weighing the sale of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac shares in an offering that could begin as early as this year. Plans under discussion call for selling between 5% and 15% of their stock, with the two government-controlled mortgage giants valued at more than $500 billion. The transaction could raise around $30 billion, potentially making it the largest IPO in history. In recent weeks, the CEOs of Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America met with President Trump in Washington to discuss the proposal. Trump confirmed that he is “working on” taking Fannie and Freddie public

for Malibu real estate charred by January’s wildfires 18 replies
In the charred aftermath of Malibu’s January wildfires, one buyer has been moving in silence. While much of La Costa Beach remains a barren stretch of sand, a foreign investor has quietly acquired nine oceanfront lots — spending more than $65 million to secure some of the most coveted parcels along the Pacific Coast Highway, according to Realtor.com. Working through luxury agents Weston Littlefield and Alex Howe of the Weston James Group, the buyer is targeting properties with at least 40 feet of frontage, betting that once the coastline is rebuilt, demand from wealthy buyers will return in force.
A whistleblower doctor and his wife took to X recently to slam a man who is angling to become President Trump’s chief prosecutor in the Southern District of Texas. Dr. Eithan Haim, a surgeon who blew the whistle on illegal child sex change surgeries at Texas Children’s Hospital, and his wife, Andrea, contend that Pearson did nothing to oppose or block their persecution at the hands of the Biden-appointed US Attorney and AUSA Tina Ansari, who later had to recuse herself from the case due to her family’s close ties to the hospital. Pearson, a career prosecutor at the Southern District of Texas, has worked at the [DOJ] since 2004
Project Veritas on Thursday released part two of its whistleblower investigation into former US Attorney General Bill Barr.[snip] Lélis detailed a September 13, 2021, meeting involving herself, Armstrong Williams, CNN Commentator Shermichael Singleton, and former Attorney General William P. Barr, which focused on strategizing for the newly formed January 6th Committee. “The investigation will be focused on people close to Trump and make efforts to formally prosecute these people,” Lélis wrote. Her notes reveal that Barr provided a list of targets, including Steve Bannon, Rudy Giuliani, Stewart Rhodes, Enrique Tarrio, Jeffrey Clark, Oath Keepers, and Proud Boys.
WASHINGTON — President Trump appointed one of his top economic advisers to serve on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors Thursday — after months of pressuring Fed Chairman Jerome Powell to resign or demanding the board stage a coup to lower interest rates. [snip] Miran will replace Adriana Kugler, an appointee of former President Joe Biden, on the seven-member panel headed by Powell. Trump, 79, has excoriated Powell, whose term ends in May, for refusing to lower interest rates this year, despite inflation remaining below 3% — near the central bank’s 2% target.

Confederate Gen. Albert Pike, a self-educated lawyer from Arkansas, will return to the place he once occupied in Washington, D.C. A National Park Service news release said on Monday that the statue “which was toppled and vandalized during riots in June 2020” will be back in place sometime in October. Sitework to repair the damaged plinth will begin soon.
“The restoration aligns with federal responsibilities under historic preservation law as well as recent executive orders to beautify the nation’s capital and re-instate pre-existing statues,” the release said.
Conservative commentator Mark Levin explained on Fox News Tuesday how errors by the U.S. Census Bureau in 2020 unfairly tilted the political landscape, costing Republicans critical congressional seats.
The U.S. Census Bureau admitted in 2022 that it significantly miscounted the population in over a quarter of U.S. states during the 2020 census, affecting the allocation of House seats and Electoral College votes.[snip] Levin said states like Florida, which should have gained two seats, and Texas, which was denied one, were unfairly affected, while states like Rhode Island retained seats due to the Census Bureau’s mistakes.

Tennessee Governor, Maintaining Alliance
with Trump 2 replies
Marsha Blackburn formally announced her campaign for governor of Tennessee Wednesday morning in a campaign video, one year before the 2026 gubernatorial primary. While Blackburn has been rumored to be running since the beginning of the year, the video serves as her official announcement, and launches a race to the right between her and Rep. John Rose, two Tennessee lawmakers closely aligned with President Donald Trump seeking to replace outgoing Gov. Bill Lee.
In the video, Blackburn kicks off her campaign by doubling down on her familiar campaign strategies: aligning herself with Trump and staking her claim as the conservative choice.
Project Veritas on Tuesday released a bombshell story from a whistleblower alleging former US Attorney General Bill Barr along with media figure Armstrong Williams is running an illegal immigration visa fraud scheme for elites and billionaires. Patrícia Lélis, whistleblower, former Brazilian journalist at Howard Stirk Holdings, who is in hiding abroad, told Project Veritas that she was prosecuted after reporting Bill Barr and Armstrong William to the FBI. “It is way more easy to defraud the immigration system and the government more than people think. And I have proof of that because that’s what Armstrong [Williams] and [Former Attorney General] Bill Barr does,” she said.
Three civil service lawyers in the Department of Justice have been hit with misconduct complaints for representing the Trump administration in court. A nonprofit funded mainly by Pierre Omidyar's Democracy Fund, the Orwellian-named "Legal Accountability Center" has filed ethics complaints with the "grievance committees" of cities where the three lawyers have either lived or practiced.[Snip] This case has nothing to do with the fate of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. What you are witnessing is an application of Alinsky's Rules for Radicals: "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”

Cracker Barrel has found itself in hot water as the cherished food chain flaunts its new look - and loyal customers bemoan the lack of classic rustic charm. Locations of the Southern-themed restaurant and gift shop have been ditching their nostalgic and eclectic interiors for more modern decor since last year. A video shared by Cracker Barrel last August captioned 'New look, same Cracker Barrel!! We can't wait for you to visit' shows a Mount Juliet, Tennessee location - one of the first to undergo drastic renovations. 'We might have refreshed some things and updated a little bit, but don't worry, we're still Cracker Barrel!'
The US military is preparing to activate hundreds of National Guard troops to Washington, DC as a part of President Trump’s sweeping federal crackdown on crime in the nation’s capital, according to authorities.
Trump has yet to make a final decision about the activation of federal troops, but the National Guard is currently readying to deploy them, two US officials with knowledge of the operation confirmed to Reuters.
The preparation comes as 120 FBI agents from across the country have already begun patrolling DC streets overnight and backing up area cops at carjacking hot spots, despite many lacking local patrol work training, The Washington Post reported.
A pair of Texas friends died less than three months apart after ingesting pills laced with a dangerous new synthetic opioid, and now their mothers are begging US officials to sound the alarm on the little-known drug that’s up to 43 times more lethal than fentanyl.
The young men both died this year after swallowing different pills secretly tainted with the deadly, often Narcan-resistant opioids known as nitazenes, which have begun seeping into the US at an alarming rate.
Lucci Reyes-McCallister, 22, died January 26 near Houston, Texas, after taking a pill labeled as Xanax that was actually laced with N-pyrrolidino protonitazene, an emerging form of nitazene.
Los Angeles is being urged to abandon plans to host the 2028 Olympics lest the Democrat-run city give President Donald Trump something to “bolster his noxious legacy.”
Los Angeles Times columnist Gustavo Arellano whined about Trump’s policies, his accomplishments in office, and his agenda in a new column as plans take shape for the 2028 Summer Olympics to be held in the California city.
“It’s a shame that LA Times ‘columnists’ are so filled with Trump Derangement Syndrome that they would turn away such a unifying event as the Olympics, which are expected to generate $18 billion in economic activity,”

On today’s episode of ‘Dems Doing Performative Nonsense,’ we have leftists locking themselves up.
The protests against everything related to President Donald Trump continue with Democrats voluntarily placing themselves in a cage to prove some kind of point about the cruelty of Alligator Alcatraz.
Look: [Tweet]
The photo, posted by Ian Jaeger, shows mostly older, white people enclosed in a small pen with a sign reading “Camp Cruelty: A US Immigration Detention Facility.” Outside are several people apparently dressed as immigration enforcement agents. It comes across as some sort of political masochist fan-fiction.

Leftist protesters formed a “human chain” to lament deported illegal aliens and social media can’t stop talking about it.
Not because the 8-mile chain, which took place in Columbus, Ohio, was an effective message that changed the hearts and minds of pro-immigration law enforcement proponents, but because the people who made up the protest all had a lot in common.
Watch: [Tweet, video]
For a party that complains about how old and white Republicans are, this protest looked an awful lot like a retirement home ad.
Local newspaper The Ohio Dispatch reported that “thousands” attended the “Hands Along High Street” protest to stand against President Donald Trump’s administration and its policies.
A government agency has advised British business owners not to shame shoplifting suspects by posting pictures in their shops.
Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has issued advice warning that it “may not be appropriate” to post pictures of shoplifters, the Times of London reported.
According to the data watchdog, it would be “appropriate” for businesses to forward information to police or to share a suspect’s identity with managers of fellow shop owners.[snip]
The advice comes in the wake of police demanding that a vintage clothes shop owner in Wales take down a sign describing shoplifters as “scum” as it might be taken as “provocative and offensive”
Donald Trump has sent an unmistakable message—Barack Obama’s White House portrait has once again been moved. It’s been tucked away where visitors won’t see the grinning image of a president whose tenure was marked by scandal, deception, and failed policies.
Unfortunately, it’s not in the garbage. CNN reports the portrait now sits in an out-of-the-way corner, away from guests who don’t need a reminder of Obama’s disastrous legacy and his effort to frame Trump with collusion charges. This is more than redecorating — it’s a statement about accountability and honesty in presidential legacies. By moving the portrait, Trump delivers a quiet but clear verdict on one of the most corrupt
Zohran Mamdani promises to be President Donald Trump’s “worst nightmare” if he becomes mayor, but the actual victims of any such faceoff will be the people of New York City.
For starters, no mere mayor, even of America’s greatest city, has the juice to pick a fight with the federal government and hope to come out on top.
In fact, it’s a joke to think a Mayor Mamdani could even step in the ring.
Look: The city depends heavily on federal cash to help the people Mamdani claims to care the most about, namely the poor.
How James Carville Would ‘Save Democracy’
14 replies
It’s hardly a secret that the Democrats are in the midst of an existential crisis. They are leaderless, fractious, broke, and more unpopular with the voters than they have been in decades. Yet, as their antics have demonstrated during the first seven months of the second Trump administration, they don’t connect these calamities to their bad policies and worse execution. Instead, they attribute their ills to malevolent forces threatening “our democracy” and see themselves as its saviors. How will they rescue the republic? Former Clinton advisor James Carville laid out a blueprint last Wednesday.
If you're looking for a guy who wants to lecture you on how to relate to working Americans, wouldn't you choose someone who has, at some point in their lives, you know, worked?
That seems a logical condition, which makes it all the more baffling that anyone listens to the daffy old Bolshevik from Vermont, Bernie Sanders (net worth, $15 million) when it comes this issue. But listen, they do, to a daffy old guy who, after failing as a carpenter, entered politics, stayed in politics, and grew rich off of politics. CNN's Dana Bash listens to him:
NEW YORK — Affordability was at the center of Zohran Mamdani’s winning primary campaign for New York City mayor. President Donald Trump has become the focus of his general election bid. The Democratic nominee launched a five-borough tour “against Trump” on Monday to amplify how he believes the president will harm New York City — and why Mamdani thinks he should be elected to lead the vanguard. He’s also tying opponents Andrew Cuomo, Eric Adams and Curtis Sliwa closely to Trump, adopting a classic Democratic general election playbook by casting two fellow Democrats and the GOP nominee as the president’s
