President Donald Trump said Thursday that the United States will be deploying 5,000 troops to Poland as the U.S. reviews its military presence in Europe. It was not clear how long the troops would be stationed in Poland, which currently hosts 369 permanently assigned active-duty ​service members and about 10,000 personnel of rotational force, or when exactly the troops would be moved to the European country. "Based on the successful election of the now President of Poland, Karol Nawrocki, who I was proud to endorse, and our relationship with him, I am pleased to announce that the United States will be sending an additional 5,000 Troops to Poland,"

Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., introduced a constitutional amendment requiring natural-born citizenship for members of Congress and federal judges, sparing the Democrats she targeted while potentially affecting several Republicans. The amendment would apply prospectively, meaning no existing officeholder would lose office if ratified, including Reps. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Pramila Jayapal of Washington, and Shri Thanedar of Michigan, whom Mace named in her news release. The proposal, H.J.Res.188, has no cosponsors and faces long odds in Congress. Since 1973, more than 3,900 joint resolutions proposing constitutional amendments have been introduced, according to Congress.gov. Fewer than 9% received committee consideration, and none have been ratified since 1992.

The United States' aircraft carrier Nimitz and its strike group arrived in the Caribbean this week as tensions with Cuba continue amid negotiations and the wake of the U.S.'s indictment of Raul Castro. The arrival comes even as President Donald Trump downplayed the threat of an escalation in negotiations with Cuba on Wednesday. Trump has previously hinted at what he called a "friendly takeover" of Cuba as the island's government faces an economic and energy crisis and mounting domestic opposition. The United States Southern Command said the aircraft carrier was accompanied by Carrier Air Wing 17, USS Gridley and USNS Patuxent,

After the Department of Justice unveiled charges against Raúl Castro, the former socialist leader of Cuba, Congress is divided between those eager to see the regime forcefully toppled and those who think America has its hands full with Iran. On Tuesday, it was revealed that a Florida grand jury has indicted Castro and five others in connection with the fatal downing of two American planes in 1996 that resulted in the deaths of three Americans delivering aid to Cuba. The charges come amid a U.S. blockade of shipments to the island. Castro, whose brother Fidel led the nation from 1959 to 2008, has been charged with murder.

President Donald Trump called the indictment of former Cuban President Raúl Castro a “very big moment” for Cuban Americans, who he believes “appreciate” the indictment. Trump spoke to reporters on the tarmac of Joint Base Andrews shortly after Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche announced the indictment. I think the Cuban population of Miami, and certainly beyond Miami, people that came there that were decimated, whose families were ruined, appreciate what the Attorney General just did today,” Trump said.

The Senate RINO’s are threatening to obstruct President Trump’s midterm agenda. GOP Strategist Caroline Wren set the record state on Bannon’s War Room. Caroline Wren: Over the last 72 hours, like these, the only people that were lobbying for a Cornyn endorsement were other GOP senators. And in the last 72 hours, the GOP senators had come out against President Trump on several things. They told him: ** We’re not passing the Save America Act ** We’re not going to nuke the filibuster ** We’re not going to fund (security) for your ballroom ** The weaponization fund’s a bad idea ** W’re not going to fire the parliamentarian.

(The Center Square) - Vice President JD Vance defended a nearly $1.8 billion taxpayer fund through the U.S. Department of Justice aimed at supporting victims of "lawfare and weaponization." The $1.776 billion "Anti-Weaponization Fund" would support individuals who have been targeted by "lawfare and weaponization," according to acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. The fund came out of the settlement of a $10 billion lawsuit between President Donald Trump and the IRS over the leaking of his tax returns. Vance said Republicans and Democrats could receive some of the funds while the DOJ vets applications for assistance.

Fidel Castro's younger yet equally communist brother may well find himself in hot water with the American federal justice system. Late on Tuesday, reports surfaced that the Trump administration's Department of Justice (DOJ) is seeking an indictment of Raúl Castro. The specifics aren't yet known, but any charges are expected to arise from the 1996 shooting down of two aircraft belonging to the Miami-based Cuban exile group, Brothers to the Rescue. Raúl Castro was Cuba's Minister of Defense at that time.
HUD proposal to end women's shelter admission

Do men who identify as women really threaten women fleeing male violence? That's the raging debate in a regulatory proceeding on "equal access to housing," prompted by President Trump's Day One executive order against "gender ideology extremism," which has quietly amassed over 600 public comments in its first three weeks without any apparent input as of Tuesday from large national groups. The Department of Housing and Urban Development proposed removing references to "gender" and "gender identity" throughout its regulations, and possibly replacing them with "sex," to ensure HUD-funded housing programs and emergency shelters treat individuals by their "immutable biological classification as either male or female."

California Governor Gavin Newsom’s (D) strange comment last week that he has a secret “break-the-glass” contingency plan to ensure Democrats are not locked out of the top-two spots in the state’s upcoming gubernatorial primary has sparked Republican angst and anxiety. Speaking at a budget press conference on Thursday, Newsom stated that while he does not see a Democrat lockout happening, behind-the-scenes efforts are underway to prevent the two Republicans from advancing together to the general election. “He’s literally declaring war on the voters,” an outraged Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) fumed Monday, referring to Democrat scheme as “an insurrection.” House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) sarcastically quipped, “‘No Kings,’ right Gavin?”

Every few years, we in the United States endure something like the sweats of malaria while certain people, devoted to “democracy,” call to abolish the Electoral College, now merely a counting system whereby each state is assigned an electoral weight based on its representation in Congress—the sum of its senators and representatives. There are two main lines of the argument. The first is that because of the College, a president can be elected without a majority or a plurality of the vote. In elections involving two main candidates, this has happened three times: 1888 (Harrison over Cleveland), 2000 (Bush over Gore), and 2016 (Trump over Clinton).

President Donald Trump on Wednesday demanded that Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough be fired, arguing that over the years, her rulings have been “brutal” to Republicans. The parliamentarian serves at the pleasure of the Senate Majority Leader, who can instruct the Senate Secretary to dismiss the official at any time. Trump expressed frustration in a post on Truth Social that Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) has refused to take this step, raging that the “Dumocrats cheat, lie, and steal, especially when it comes to Votes in Elections, but stick together, whereas the Republicans allow the Elizabeth MacDonoughs of the World to stay in power, and brutalize us.”

Tennessee GOP Gov. Bill Lee on Thursday delayed an inmate's execution by one year after the state Department of Corrections' medical staff failed to find a suitable vein to administer the lethal injection drugs into. The man scheduled to be executed was Tony Carruthers, who was convicted of three 1994 murders and sentenced to death in 1996. Lee scheduled the new execution to take place on May 21, 2027, exactly one year after he was initially scheduled for execution. Carruthers' attorneys have argued that he was wrongfully convicted and stated he has mental illnesses that “continue to impair his understanding of his legal situation and his impending

Seattle’s lefty Mayor Katie Wilson admitted she was wrong to slam Starbucks and push for a boycott of the mega-coffee chain birthed in the Pacific City. Wilson, 43, issued a terse mea culpa to the New York Times this week as questions swirl about whether the liberal Northwest city can attract and retain businesses, including Starbucks, which recently chose to expand its footprint in Tennessee. The democratic socialist made waves last fall when she joined a barista union rally as mayor-elect and expressed her disgust with one of Seattle’s most recognizable businesses.

Virginia’s new Democrat Governor Abigail Spanberger has just announced that she is signing an executive order to keep ICE agents away from polling places. Why do you suppose such a thing would be necessary? Democrats assure us that illegal aliens are not voting because they are forbidden from doing so by law. So why would they be worried about ICE showing up at polling places? It just doesn’t make any sense. Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger said Tuesday that she plans to issue an executive order on Wednesday to help election workers respond if federal agents show up at polling sites in Virginia.

An Air France flight was blocked from entering US airspace and instead diverted to Canada over fears of one passenger’s exposure to the Ebola outbreak in Africa. Air France Flight 378 was scheduled to land at Detroit Metro Wayne Airport in Michigan late Wednesday afternoon before it changed course for Montreal Trudeau International Airport in the Canadian city. US officials stopped the flight from entering the country after it was revealed a passenger from the Democratic Republic of Congo was allowed to board “in error,” the US Customs and Border Protection told CBS News. “Due to entry restrictions put in place to reduce the risk of the Ebola virus,

President Donald Trump said Thursday that he will try to attend his eldest son's wedding in the Bahamas this weekend but warned that he might not make it because of the ongoing conflict in Iran and "other things." News outlets reported this week that Donald Trump Jr. is expected to marry his fiancee Bettina Anderson, a Palm Beach socialite, in a small wedding on a private island on Saturday. The president did not share an opinion of his son's fiancée but said that he hopes the pair have a "great marriage."
