Democrats keep grandstanding against what
Americans want

Honest question: Why do Democrats spend so much time grandstanding against what the vast majority of Americans want? Because it doesn’t make sense to me. Case in point – Republicans in Congress want stricter voting requirements, such as voter ID and proof of citizenship. The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (also known as the SAVE America Act) has already passed the House and is now before the Senate. At his State of the Union address on Feb. 24, President Donald Trump specifically called on the Senate to take up the bill. "Congress should unite and enact this commonsense, country-saving legislation right now," Trump said.

Honest question: Why do Democrats spend so much time grandstanding against what the vast majority of Americans want?
Because it doesn’t make sense to me.
Case in point – Republicans in Congress want stricter voting requirements, such as voter ID and proof of citizenship. The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (also known as the SAVE America Act) has already passed the House and is now before the Senate. At his State of the Union address on Feb. 24, President Donald Trump specifically called on the Senate to take up the bill.
"Congress should unite and enact this commonsense, country-saving legislation right now," Trump said.
The Democrats showed their true colors at Tuesday evening’s State of the Union when they failed the president’s test of allegiance to this country.
They are so devoted to illegal migration that they walked straight into his trap. President Trump asked every lawmaker in the chamber to stand if they believe their primary duty is to protect American citizens rather than illegal migrants.
That should have be a no-brainer.
It is the essence of putting America first.
But the Democrats refused to stand.
Ahead of President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address, he promised he’d discuss how we are a country “that’s now doing well with the greatest economy we’ve ever had.”
That’s what he needed to do, and overall, he did.
“Our nation is back,” Trump said at the start of his speech Feb. 24, marking the secure border, reduced crime, falling inflation and improving economy. “The state of our union is strong.” During his roughly two-hour address, the president stayed mostly upbeat and on message (for Trump).
His theme was “America at 250: Strong, Prosperous and Respected,” with the country’s 250th birthday and the midterm elections just months away
Breaking a record he set previously, President Trump delivered the longest State of the Union address in history at a moment when Americans increasingly disapprove of his handling of the economy, have soured on his immigration crackdown, and have threatened to throw congressional Republicans out of power.
Trump spoke for one hour and 47 minutes. He made the most of the moment, attempting to thread the needle between heralding accomplishments, while assuring a still jittery public – particularly when it comes to the economy – that better days are on the horizon.
By now, the video has gone viral with Trump asking a simple question:
“If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support. The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal immigrants.” With great timing and a gift for performance and storytelling, Trump pauses and lets the applause grow. He luxuriated in the moment as the Democrats sat there, stone-faced, thinking it would play well at MS-Now. It probably will. Trump wanted all of America to see it and remember it. He set a trap. They walked right into it.
“You should be ashamed,” he said.
Analysts: Media neglects hunger crises
6 replies
Not enough media or political attention is given to grave hunger crises in the Global South, according to analysts. Reports also say far more is spent on weapons than food relief. Amina Suleman left her village in Maradun, Zamfara state, in northwestern Nigeria, fleeing Islamist militants.
"They killed many of us, and looted our properties and animals. They burnt everything including our food," she told DW.
The attacks happened seven years ago, but the security situation still hasn't improved. Government forces are fighting jihadi militias and bandits to stamp out kidnappings and extortion.

Abigail Spanberger, the new governor of Virginia, who has been tapped to deliver the Democrats’ State of the Union reply Tuesday night, is the perfect avatar for her party’s deception.
With her long blond bob, minimalist makeup, pinched face and brisk air, she looks like the sort of competent working mom you’d encounter at school drop-off in any affluent suburb. In other words, she seems like somebody you instinctively trust.
But don’t be fooled by appearances. Spanberger is an expert at subterfuge, having spent eight years as an undercover CIA case officer, aka a spy, under Barack Obama and John Brennan, in the era when Democrats turned national security back on itself.
A man in his early 20s was shot and killed early Sunday after allegedly breaching the secure perimeter of President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, the U.S. Secret Service announced. The Secret Service said the incident occurred around 1:30 a.m. when the suspect made an "unauthorized entry" at the property.
The individual was observed near the north gate carrying what appeared to be a shotgun and a fuel can.
Agents and a deputy from the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office (PBSO) confronted the man who was pronounced dead at the scene.
Friday’s blockbuster ruling on tariffs was hardly welcomed by the Trump administration, but it was also widely expected. The Supreme Court clearly established in its 6-3 decision that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act does not afford presidents authority to issue sweeping, unilateral tariffs like those imposed by President Trump over the last year.
The justices fractured on other issues. And they left one issue conspicuously unaddressed: What happens to the hundreds of billions of dollars collected from these tariffs so far?

as GOP candidates top California governor polling 12 replies
California Democrats are reportedly panicking over the possibility that the state’s jungle primary system could send two Republicans to the November ballot, a scenario Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco told Fox News Digital is the result of "decades of complete Democrat failure." The New York Post reported that Democratic lawmakers are privately warning a crowded and "uninspiring" field of candidates could split the vote in California’s top-two primary system, allowing Republicans to advance to the two-person runoff in a state long dominated by Democrats.
If you’re struggling to make sense of the economy today, you’re not alone. Many so-called experts completely whiffed their forecasts, while positive economic data — the Dow Jones Industrial Average at 50,000 points — seemingly contradicts negative survey responses. But understanding five key elements reveals we’re about to be off to the races. First, 2025 was a year of transition for the economy. Under Democrat President Joe Biden, particularly his last two years in office, job growth was disproportionately due to government hiring. Similarly, government purchases played an outsized role in growing overall economic activity, as measured by gross domestic product (GDP).
Iran is rebuilding nuclear sites damaged in previous U.S. strikes and "preparing for war," despite engaging in talks with the Trump administration, according to a prominent Iranian opposition figure. Alireza Jafarzadeh, deputy director of the Washington office of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), said newly released satellite images also prove the regime has accelerated its efforts to restore its "$2 trillion" uranium enrichment capabilities.
"The regime has clearly stepped up efforts to rebuild its uranium enrichment capabilities," Jafarzadeh told Fox News Digital. "It is preparing itself for a possible war by trying to preserve its nuclear weapons program and ensure its protection."

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

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,
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 Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is accusing the GOP-led House Oversight Committee of using her to "distract" from President Donald Trump during her high-stakes testimony in Congress' Jeffrey Epstein probe.
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.
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. (Snip) Biden, who has rarely made public appearances since leaving office last year, sat, like many of his fellow passengers, awaiting a flight that would take him to Columbia, South Carolina, for an evening event with the South Carolina Democratic Party. Passengers whispered and gaped in wonder: Why would a man who for a time was leader of the free world be, like they

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.
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:
