Trump Is Demolishing Democrats

Original Article

In the escalating drama of the 2025 government shutdown, one thing is becoming increasingly clear: President Trump is refusing to allow Democrats to wedge the country into humiliation, inaction, or moral collapse. Recent events make clear that Democrats didn’t merely stumble into this shutdown — they *planned* it. As Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer recently admitted, “we prepared for this,” using health care subsidies and ideological bargaining chips as a cudgel. Meanwhile, Trump has struck back, refusing to let his political opponents have the sole power to define the stakes.

Those polls blaming Republicans are hard to believe. People must watch the mainstream news and little else. This "shutdown" is solely on the Democrats. Also shows the Dems know only what they are told by the lying media.

President Donald Trump pulled off a monumental accomplishment with the peace deal in Gaza. He will be going to Israel to speak there on Monday. The hostages are expected to be released on Monday. Twenty of the remaining 48 are reportedly believed to be alive. Negotiators instrumental in the deal, Steve Witkoff and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, were in Israel ahead of Trump on Saturday. They were in Tel Aviv's Hostage Square along with Ivanka Trump and a crowd of tens of thousands of people waving Israeli and American flags, cheering what the Trump team has achieved.

As this Friday is World Day Against the Death Penalty, I have been thinking a lot lately about an audio recording I made with my father when I was only six years old. In it, he said to me: “Your heart is your country and currently your country is one big prison. But there will come a day when you will see paradise, and that is when Iran will be free.” The recording is precious to me because those were among the last words my father uttered in my presence. Only months later,
Trump directs the Pentagon to use ‘all

President Donald Trump said Saturday that he has directed the Defense Department to use “all available funds” to ensure U.S. troops are paid Wednesday despite the government shutdown, a short-term fix that will not apply to the hundreds of thousands of federal workers who have been furloughed. Trump said in a social media post that he was acting because “our Brave Troops will miss the paychecks they are rightfully due on October 15th.” The Republican president’s directive removes one of the pressure points that could have forced Congress into action, likely ensuring that the shutdown — now in its 11th day and counting — extends into a third week and possibly beyond.

Black Chicagoans are taking to social media to welcome President Donald Trump’s deployment of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and national guard troops to the Windy City to clean up the city’s streets and deport criminal illegals.Recently, U.S. Border Commander Greg Bovino posted a video to social media showing Chicago residents happily shaking his hand and thanking him for coming to their city to bring law and order.While some may dismiss Bovino’s video as “propaganda,” there is no denying that many members of Chicago’s black community are grateful for his presence and that of ICE or the National Guard in their city.

In 1962, Uganda won autonomy from British rule.In 1963, a mega-tsunami triggered by a landside at Vajont Dam in northern Italy destroyed villages and caused approximately 2,000 deaths.In 1967, Marxist revolutionary guerrilla leader Che Guevara, 39, was executed by the Bolivian army a day after his capture.

Van Jones, the CNN host and commentator, recently complained that neither the global left nor the mainstream media are covering the horrific violence against Nigerian civilians by Islamic terrorists. True, they are not reporting the slaughter. Truer still, they should be.However, Van Jones went completely off the rails when he blamed “the Jews.” Or as he put it, “No Jews, no news”—a stereotyped statement as anti-Semitic as it is untrue. In truth, lots of mass violence worldwide is ignored. Unlike Trump, neither the left nor the mainstream media cared much for the recent mass ethnic cleansing of Armenian Christians from Nagorno-Karabakh—more than 120,000—by Azerbaijani Muslims.

Tours at the Capitol have come to a standstill. The House is keeping its doors closed, while the Senate is stuck in a loop of failed votes on a rejected plan to reopen the government. President Donald Trump is threatening to mass fire federal workers and refuse back pay for the rest. As the government shutdown enters a second week, there’s no discernible endgame in sight. “You have to negotiate,” Sen. Bernie Sanders, the independent from Vermont, argued late into the evening on the Senate floor. “That’s the way it works.”

In response to a Federalist inquiry, not a single Democrat U.S. Senator called for the Virginia Democrat attorney general candidate Jay Jones to drop out of the race in light of his text messages fantasizing about assassinating Republican Todd Gilbert. “Put Gilbert in the crew with the two worst people you know and he receives both bullets every time,” Jones wrote, after running a hypothetical about how to allocate two bullets among Gilbert, Hitler, and Pol Pot. The 2022 text messages were first reported by National Review on Friday. According to a source cited by the outlet, Jones also “suggested he wished Gilbert’s wife could watch her own child die-

Bondi, appearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee, wasted no time calling out Durbin’s obstruction and hypocrisy, and Blackburn backed her up. Durbin accused Bondi of misleading the public by claiming she had access to the Epstein client files. But Bondi fired back, clarifying her statement.

The FBI secretly obtained the phone records of nine Republican members of Congress, including eight sitting senators, under the Biden administration as part of its “Arctic Frost” investigation of 2020 election meddling, a bombshell document revealed. Specific reasons for the FBI’s espionage of the sitting lawmakers are not clear. The document revealing the spy effort was recently turned over to lawmakers and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) released it to the public on Monday. “Based on the evidence to-date, Arctic Frost and related weaponization by federal law enforcement under Biden was arguably worse than Watergate,” Grassley said in a statement.

But just five years later, according to the press conference held just weeks ago on September 22, President Trump — in the presence of U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) secretary Robert F.

If we want to humiliate a party stupidly expressing its disapproval of us, we can take a lesson from J.K. Rowling. The Vancouver Parks and Recreation board voted unanimously to apologize for the Harry Potter: A Forbidden Forest Experience event set to open on November 7 in Vancouver’s Stanley Park after hearing from members of Vancouver’s 2SLGBTQ+ Advisory Committee. In the X post below, Ms. Rowling advises the board how to ratchet up the pain. The upshot of her advice is that she could not care less, and yet she has delivered her message with a wit that probably exceeds the board’s capacity for comprehension. The Vancouver Sun helpfully

The National Education Association (NEA), which represents millions of U.S. educators, sent an email to its approximately 3 million members with a map omitting Israel and labeling the territory as “Palestine.” The email was described as a resource packet for teaching about indigenous peoples, but critics argue it was promoting not recognizing Israel. The North American Values Institute (NAVI) called the inclusion of the map in the NEA email “an inexcusable lapse,” arguing the union must be held accountable for disseminating content that rationalizes anti-Israel sentiment. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) also condemned the action, saying it crosses from careless oversight

The list, published the morning after the cabinet approved the US-backed ceasefire deal, includes members of the Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Fatah and the Popular Front terror groups, responsible for dozens of deadly terror attacks, but does not include some key terror chiefs Hamas has demanded, including popular Fatah figure Marwan Barghouti.

The transgender issues that helped propel Donald Trump to his 2024 election victory continue to trap and flummox Democrats. The latest Democrat caught by the transgender tar baby is Rep. Abigail Spanberger, the Virginia Democrat running for governor. Spanberger was debating her Republican opponent, Lt. Governor Winsome Earle-Sears, earlier this week when the subject of men in girls' locker rooms came up. "We know that girls want to have privacy," Earle-Sears said. "[Spanberger] voted for men nude in girls locker rooms, in bathrooms, and in girls' sports." Earle-Sears was referring to Spanberger's vote for the Equality Act, which allows transgender people to use the bathroom and locker room

Democrats shut down the government partly to force Republicans to extend COVID-era boosts in Obamacare subsidies that Dems once called “temporary” but now say are needed to keep the program viable. This reveals what a true disaster Obamacare has been, as its critics warned even as Dems were ramming it into law with not a single Republican vote in 2010. Blindly tossing fresh trillions down that hole is nuts: Time to fix it — or scrap it altogether. The 10-year cost of Dems’ current demand totals almost a half-trillion dollars, to benefit primarily insurers and wealthier Americans. Under the expiration that Democrats wrote into law, 1.6 million Americans (just 0.5% of the population)
