In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea, With a glory in his bosom that transfigures you and me: As he died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,– Julia Ward Howe, Battle Hymn of the Republic
The anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s birthday was February 12. Since we now celebrate Presidents’ Day in memory of all our deceased presidents, Americans did not pause for a moment to remember Lincoln. This is very sad, given what Lincoln said that nullifies our contemporary outpouring of anti-White racism.

Kathy Ruemmler, Goldman Sachs' top attorney, is leaving due to her ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the late New York financier and convicted child predator, who was found dead in his cell in August 2019. Numerous files and communications related to this man have been released. This development is unwelcome, especially to Democrats, who were hoping to find incriminating evidence to use against Donald Trump. However, these emails have mostly cast Democrats and their allies in a negative light, with Ruemmler being the latest example.
Reps. Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna may have gotten themselves into hot water after falsely accusing four men of being tied to the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein in front of Congress.(snip)The pair claimed that four names, which the Department of Justice redacted in the release of the files, were “powerful men” engaged in connected to Epstein, but those men were simply randomly selected for a police line up and had zero real connection to the case. Massive and Khanna claim that the fault in the false accusations lies with Department of Justice officials,stating that the DOJ “illegally redacted names without explanation and then refused to give context

in Texas Senate Republican primary: internal poll 10 replies
WASHINGTON — Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has a clear lead in the Lone Star State’s Senate Republican primary over incumbent John Cornyn — putting the two on a collision course for a May runoff, according to a new poll commissioned by Paxton’s principal campaign committee.
The Pulse Decision Science survey found that 36% of likely GOP primary voters support Paxton, 27% back Cornyn and 15% prefer Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-Texas). Another 22% said they were undecided about who to support.
Early voting for the March 3 primary starts next week, with a runoff between the top two candidates set for May 26 if no contender gets above 50%.
Chaos erupted Thursday at a Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee oversight hearing when Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley confronted Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison over the astounding levels of fraud uncovered in the state just months ago. During the contentious exchange, Hawley accused Ellison of blatant corruption, alleging he worked with individuals later convicted in the scandal to shield them from investigators, and accepted a $10,000 campaign contribution from them just nine days after pledging to assist their cause.
Well, Bad Bunny ended up not wearing a dress during yesterday's Super Bowl halftime show. We have to wonder if Roger Goodell or someone in the NFL put the kibosh on that plan, especially after Goodell said the program wouldn't be political. President Trump slammed the show as "terrible" and "one of the worst." Meanwhile, the TPUSA alternative show attracted tens of millions of views so far. TMZ put up a poll last night asking which show was better, and it's not going well for them.(snip) "Estimates show that over 20 million watched the alternative halftime show. That's a huge chunk of the captive audience walking away,"
Democrat Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) has positioned himself as a firebrand when it comes to exposing the Epstein files, and he now has a chance to prove it's not just partisan grandstanding. Following the release of more information on Monday, his fellow party member, Del. Stacey Plaskett (D-VI), has been further implicated in the scandal. According to multiple emails, she used a pseudonym to solicit funding from Epstein for a "new voter file" that would help her win elections in the Virgin Islands. (Snip) Plaskett had a full-blown relationship with him, up to and including letting him dictate congressional hearings
Among the people running to fill the seat vacated by former GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is one of her former staffers, Jim Tully. Introducing himself on a local conservative radio show in January, he didn’t mention his connection to Greene until asked by the host.(snip)There’s a clear pattern in how the Republicans running to replace Greene address her resignation and her split with President Donald Trump. Those who are better known due to their prior involvement with local GOP politics strike a balance between showing loyalty to Trump and respect to Greene, while newcomers have less hesitation about taking shots at her.
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth today announced the War Department would sever its academic ties with Harvard University, because attendance at the school no longer meets the needs of the War Department or the military services.(snip) Beginning with the 2026-2027 school year, the War Department will discontinue graduate-level professional military education, fellowships and certificate programs at the school. Hegseth noted that military personnel who are currently attending classes will be able to finish those courses of study.
Rep. Mark Amodei (R-NV) announced on Friday his retirement from Congress, making him the 30th House Republican not running for reelection this year. Amodei said in a statement that it is the “right time” for him to end his time in the House. He’ll finish his current term before moving on from public service. He’s served in the House since 2011, and he sits on the House Appropriations Committee, House Natural Resources Committee, and multiple subcommittees.(snip) Twenty-one Democrats are also not seeking reelection, putting Congress on track for potentially record turnover.
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump celebrated the return of faith in the United States at the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday morning. Trump delivered his remarks in the Hilton ballroom, emphasizing that a country needs faith to be a “great nation.” “To be a great nation,[snip]you have to have religion,” he said.[snip]You have to have faith. You have to have God.”[snip]“In 2025, more copies of the Holy Bible were sold in the United States than at any time in the last 100 years. How about that?” Trump said.
“In the last 12 months, young Americans attended church at nearly twice the rate as they did four years ago,”

While in Germany for the Munich Security Conference, Hillary Clinton participated in a panel titled, “The West-West Divide: What Remains of Common Values.”
During the panel, Clinton appeared to take a stronger approach to her previous stance on border security.
“There is a legitimate reason to have a debate about things like migration,” Clinton said.
“It went too far, it’s been disruptive and destabilizing, and it needs to be fixed in a humane way with secure borders that don’t torture and kill people and how we’re going to have a strong family structure because it is at the base of civilization,” she added.
Clinton acknowledged that there are places where a physical barrier is
In a decision on Thursday, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Chief Judge James Boasberg stated that the Trump administration needed to “remedy the wrong that it perpetrated” by deporting hundreds of Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador, according to Politico.
While Boasberg instructed the Trump administration to “pay for airfare and provide documents to facilitate travel” for those who were deported, he explained that the migrants would “be taken into custody upon arrival.”
“It is up to the Government to remedy the wrong that it perpetrated here and to provide a means for doing so,” Boasberg said. “Were it otherwise,
Attorney General Pam Bondi has officially transmitted to Congress the Department of Justice’s Section 3 report under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, confirming that the DOJ has now released ALL Epstein-related materials in its possession.
The February 14, 2026, report — addressed to Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, Ranking Member Dick Durbin, House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, and Ranking Member Jamie Raskin — confirms that the Department has released all the files.
“In accordance with the requirements of the Act, and as described in various Department submissions to the courts of the Southern District of New York

They’re all useful idiots.
That must have been Roger Goodell’s opinion of typical NFL fans as he force-fed them Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show — a seamy spectacle that made parents cringe and would make a lefty college professor proud.
And the NFL commissioner may have a point. The typical NFL fan — who skews right of center politically, a male and often a Trump voter — appears to be a glutton for left-wing punishment.
In fact, the Bad Bunny fiasco appears to be symptomatic of the NFL’s broader, cynical business wager: It believes all those working-class white dudes who voted for Trump — those useful idiots —
Even some Democrats in leftist New York City (NYC) are complaining about Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s latest moves, including his push for even higher taxes on the city’s wealthiest residents.
“These six weeks have been a horrible mess,” an unnamed Democrat on the NYC Council told the New York Post, referencing the six weeks since Mamdani was inaugurated.
“With snow operations, with the safety of homeless New Yorkers during freezing weather, and now with the budget, Mayor Mamdani continues to show he doesn’t know how this works,” the Democrat added.
The reference to the weather was, in fact, a reference to Mamdani’s massive mishandling of Winter Storm Fern.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) issued a dire warning during a Friday podcast, saying, “If I go to sleep, democracy may very well die.”

A San Jose assistant principal — a 2024 finalist for California Teacher of the Year — has been arrested after allegedly attempting to pay an undercover officer, whom he thought was a 13-year-old boy, for sex.
Ruben Guzman, 31, a math teacher and assistant principal at the Sunrise Middle School for the past six years, was arrested as part of a large-scale, online chat operation by the San Jose police during Super Bowl week.
Ironically, Guzman not only was a finalist for teacher of the year, but he was also recognized by the San Francisco 49ers football team for his work in education, the Daily Mail reported.
"What are you doing? You should probably go do your job where your job lives."
These are only some of the actual words a boorish, self-entitled woke woman told a deputy sheriff while interrogating him about why he was sitting in his car outside of a school in Thurston County, Wash. It was an exchange she recorded and consciously put on social media to show the world her "bravery" in speaking truth to power. And it completely backfired on her.
We have every right to ask questions of law enforcement, but this woman's moment of "bravery" instead outside of Seven Oaks Elementary School looked studied and mean. What she actually
Scott Jennings continues to make mincemeat of feckless CNN panelists, and it never gets old.
In the latest beating, Jennings repeatedly asks co-commentator Alencia Johnson to back up her claim that voter ID laws are unfair to black Americans.
While debating the SAVE Act, which would greatly improve voter integrity nationwide by requiring ID, a topic that is widely supported by constituents on both sides of the aisle, Jennings pressed Johnson on “how” the proposed law would “disenfranchise” black people, as she claimed.
Johnson evaded the direct question with tired talking points and baseless accusations before Jennings got to the meat of the matter.
“You’ve yet to lay out HOW,” Jennings said.
Former CNN host Don Lemon pleaded not guilty to charges stemming from a protest that disrupted a Minnesota church service over the Trump administration's immigration crackdown in the state. Lemon was arrested late last month and charged with conspiracy and interfering with the First Amendment rights of worshipers during the Jan. 18 protest at the Cities Church in St. Paul. (snip) Magistrate Judge Douglas Micko reminded Lemon that he is allowed to travel as part of his job if he does not violate any state or federal laws
The Virginia Supreme Court handed Democrats a massive win Friday, allowing them to move forward with a redistricting referendum that would gerrymander the commonwealth’s U.S. House districts from five Republicans and six Democrats to one Republican and 10 Democrats.
Democrats have been looking for a way to push through their referendum, despite legal challenges and court rulings saying the efforts are illegal, in time for an April 21 special election that would allow the gerrymandered map to take effect before the November general election.Early voting i(snip)
If the referendum passes, it would allow the Virginia legislature the authority to redraw the congressional maps, instead of its nonpartisan commission.
Redistricting Betrayal in Virginia
14 replies
Five years ago, two-thirds of Virginia voters passed a referendum that ostensibly eliminated partisan gerrymandering from the congressional redistricting process that follows each decennial census. This amended the commonwealth’s constitution such that redistricting would thence forth be carried out by the Virginia Redistricting Commission (VRC) rather than state politicians burdened by conflicts of interest. This bill of goods was sold to the Old Dominion’s voters as “election reform” by a very expensive public relations campaign run by various Democrat-affiliated activist groups. It was obvious that the VRC would be jettisoned when it no longer served Democrat interests.
