The Answer Is No: Federal Judge Slaps
Down Preservation Group's Bid to Halt
White House Ballroom Project

The ballroom dancing won’t commence just yet at the White House, but President Trump is celebrating a decision by U.S. District Judge Richard Leon that denied an attempt by the National Trust for Historic Preservation to stop construction of the president's $400 million proposed addition. Leon did write, however, that the matter could very well be revisited: U.S. District Judge Richard Leon ruled that the National Trust for Historic Preservation is unlikely to prevail on its request for a temporary halt to President Donald Trump’s construction plan. He said the group may have a stronger case if it amends its lawsuit.

agents who use ‘excessive force’ against residents 21 replies
Denver Mayor Mike Johnston has formally banned Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from city property as well as mandated the detention of any agent who uses “excessive force” on city residents.
The Democrat leader officially moved to protect illegal aliens from federal immigration enforcement with an executive order that comes amid his party’s efforts to use the current partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as leverage to force changes to ICE that would severely impact its mission.
“No ICE officer gets to stand in our way of saving someone’s life. To protect Denver, if we see any ICE officer using excessive force against a Denver resident,
It’s been a banner year for “pow” for many U.S. skiers, but it doesn’t come without risk.
A harrowing video shows two skiers at the Palisades Tahoe resort in California very likely saving a stranger’s life. Only parts of a buried man and his ski gear could be seen peeking above heavy snow while he struggled to breathe.
“For whatever reason we stopped and happened to just see tips of the skis in the whiteout, and luckily we did,” video poster, Carson Schmidt said.
As Schmidt skied towards his friend, he spotted the buried man.
“Hey, are they good?” he said.
He wasn’t.
That’s when both skiers rushed to shovel away the snow with their hands.
Donald Trump’s job approval rating landed at a healthy 51 percent in a poll taken entirely after the president’s triumphant State of the Union address Tuesday night.
The Trafalgar Group surveyed 1,084 likely voters between February 24-26 and found that 47.1 percent of those polled “strongly approved” of the job the president is doing, while 3.7 percent approved.
Trump’s disapproval rating sits at 48 percent. That number is made up of 39.1 percent who strongly disapprove of the job he’s doing, while 8.5 percent merely disapprove.
Although Trafalgar is seen as a pollster that favors Republicans, it should be noted that during the 2024 presidential election,
A 25-year-old Texas man is accused of drugging a pregnant woman with abortion pills and causing her to have a miscarriage.
Jon Demeter was arrested and is facing a charge for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, although legal experts told local news outlet KHOU he could end up being charged with capital murder depending on how the district attorney’s office approaches the case.
Investigators believe Demeter secretly drugged a woman with abortion drugs after repeatedly asking her to have an abortion. They said Demeter also offered to pay the woman to travel out of Texas to have an abortion, but the woman wanted to carry the baby to term.
School officials in Lee County, Florida have taken sweeping disciplinary action against students who abandoned classrooms to participate in coordinated anti-ICE walkout protests earlier this month.
According to district officials, 2,480 students were identified for engaging in disruptive conduct during demonstrations that took place between February 4 and February 6, part of a broader protest movement that involved more than 3,600 students across 14 schools in the county.
And now, discipline is coming down.
School officials confirmed that dozens of Lee County Public School students have already been suspended for their involvement in the demonstrations, with the district warning that more punishments are likely

More than 20,000 illegal alien commercial truck drivers in California were about to lose their licenses, until a judge stepped in.
The Trump administration has been pressuring California to revoke the licenses of some illegal alien truck drivers after a series of news reports about truck drivers who did not understand English, causing deadly accidents.
An Alameda County Superior Court judge issued a ruling on Wednesday barring the state from canceling the licenses.
Vice President J.D. Vance was in Wisconsin yesterday, visiting a machining factory in Plover, Wisconsin to reinforce President Trump's State of the Union message about the American economy and the nation heading in the right direction.

Democrats and their media allies are fired up over a “bombshell” NPR report seemingly implicating President Donald Trump, but the problem is that the report is, as usual, bupkis.
Published earlier this week, the NPR report breathlessly claims that when the Department of Justice (DOJ) released the Epstein files, they withheld a few pages containing “allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor.”
“Some files have not been made public despite a law mandating their release,” the report reads. “These include what appear to be more than 50 pages of FBI interviews,

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is now facing his lowest approval ratings since he first set foot in the upper chamber over a quarter century ago.
The lead Senate Democrat’s job approval is deep underwater among Empire State residents, with just under three in four holding a “poor” or “fair” view of him — his worst mark since he took office in 1999, according to a Marist poll released Thursday. Voters also handed Schumer’s fellow New York Democrat, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, her lowest job approval rating in more than 15 years, the survey shows.
Forty-one percent of voters surveyed said Schumer is doing a “poor” job in office

Up to a century in prison was on the table after a federal indictment was returned for an Oklahoma man accused of threatening the president and attempting to murder federal officers.
Last month, the culmination of an investigation into comments posted on YouTube led to a standoff between 30-year-old Taylor Prigmore and the FBI. Last week, a federal grand jury returned the indictment charging him with both his alleged attempt on the lives of federal law enforcement agents and for threats against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), in addition to being called out for threatening President Donald Trump.

Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar (MN-5) is demanding a full investigation after Capitol Police arrested her guest during President Trump’s State of the Union address Tuesday night — and the woman they hauled out might look awfully familiar to RedState readers.
The congresswoman invited 43-year-old Minneapolis activist Aliya Rahman — the same far-left agitator who went viral in January when ICE agents dragged her from her car during immigration enforcement operations in her home state — to sit in the gallery as her personal guest. Wouldn't you know it, somebody as attention-seeking and willing to intentionally get arrested to interfere in law enforcement actions as Rahman, seated next to a lawmaker
Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett (TX-30) isn’t just leading in the Texas Democrat U.S. Senate primary anymore. She’s pulling away, and she’s doing it as early voting is already underway.
The latest statewide survey, conducted Feb. 2 through Feb. 16 among likely Democrat primary voters, shows the Dallas congresswoman expanding her edge over state Rep. James Talarico. Early voting began Feb. 17 and runs through Feb. 27 ahead of the March primary, which means this shift is happening while ballots are being cast.
“Crockett leads Talarico 56 percent to 44 percent among likely Democratic primary voters statewide.”

Former first lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told the House Oversight Committee on Thursday that she had no idea about Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes. In her opening statement, which she later posted on X, Clinton said she had no idea of Epstein’s criminal activities. “I had no idea about their criminal activities. I do not recall ever encountering Mr. Epstein. I never flew on his plane or visited his island home or offices,” she said.
Speaking with reporters afterward, Clinton said she “answered every one of their questions as fully as I could,” adding that “I never met Jeffrey Epstein” and “I knew Ghislaine Maxwell casually, as an acquaintance.”

Schools Roll Out Special Ramadan Perks

We are nearly one week into Ramadan – the month-long commemoration of the time when Muslims believe the Quran was first revealed to the Prophet Muhammad – and it sounds like Muslim public school students in Virginia are enjoying some serious Ramadan perks that don't seem to be offered to students of other religions when they celebrate their holiest days. One X account that tracks the political goings-on in the Charlottesville area discovered that local students who observe Ramadan are able to partake of special prayer rooms and can grab to-go meals before they depart school at the end of the day. The local CBS affiliate had glowingly reported
The pajama party is over.
Tampa International Airport set the internet ablaze on Thursday after its official X account declared war on what it called a full-blown fashion emergency unfolding at the gate.
“We’ve seen enough. We’ve had enough. It’s time to ban pajamas at Tampa International Airport,” its post read.
After bragging about previously “banning Crocs,” the airport said they were moving on to address an “even larger crisis: Pajamas. At. The. Airport. In the middle of the day.”
“The madness stops today,” the X post read.” The movement starts now. Help Tampa International Airport become the world’s first Crocs-free AND pajama-free airport. Do your part. Say no to pajamas at TPA.”

to Stand for Americans over Illegals Was ‘Racist’ 19 replies
Rep. Janelle Bynum (D-OR) says President Donald Trump’s asking lawmakers to stand for American citizens over illegal aliens was “thinly veiled racist language.”
During Trump’s first State of the Union (SOTU) address of his second term, he asked members of Congress to “stand up if you agree with this statement: The first duty of American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.”
In response, all Republicans present stood for the statement, while no Democrats present stood up. Footage of Democrats has quickly gone viral as nearly all did not clap for the statement either.

The Trump administration is looking at the issues implicated in Ilhan Omar’s naturalization. That is what is to be inferred from Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon’s comments in the video clip below: “It’s a truism of immigration law that if you commit fraud in the course of obtaining your citizenship…if you lie about your marriage status on which your citizenship depends or you’re familial status or what have you, if you fake any of those documents or you lie that’s a grounds for denaturalization and so I think it’s been credibly alleged that there are serious questions about the circumstances
Gov. Tim Walz denounced the Trump administration’s latest threat to withhold federal funds from Minnesota as another step in a “retribution” campaign as he unveiled a package of legislation Thursday intended to fight fraud in public programs, a persistent problem that provided an impetus for the federal government’s immigration crackdown in Minnesota.
The Democratic governor made the announcement a day after Vice President JD Vance said the administration would “temporarily halt” some Medicaid funding to Minnesota over fraud concerns, as part of what he described as an aggressive drive against the misuse of public funds.
Walz’s proposals were in the works well before Vance’s announcement.
WASHINGTON — A crowd gathered at a commuter gate at Reagan National Airport on Friday as fog-laden Washington skies caused an hourlong ground stop that backed up passengers hoping to head out from American Airlines' Terminal D.

President Donald Trump’s 2026 State of the Union was one for the ages, and the night is still producing glorious fruit.
Trump held nothing back as he stealthily revealed the Democratic Party’s current “America last” position on the world stage. His repeated shaming enraged his political foes to the point where Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib began screaming like children.
Now it’s been revealed what Talib was mimicking while Republicans were patriotically chanting “U.S.A.! U.S.A.!” and it’s as predictable as you’d expect. (X) Seriously.
At least that’s what the live clip looks like, which can be viewed below:
