President Donald Trump will pardon pro-life activists imprisoned by the Biden Justice Department within days, The Daily Wire has learned. The plight of the imprisoned pro-lifers is an immediate priority to Trump's team, and they will likely be pardoned within days, two sources with knowledge of the matter shared with The Daily Wire. The revelation comes a day ahead of the 52nd annual March for Life, a massive peaceful demonstration that takes place in Washington D.C. to bring awareness to the many babies whose lived are ended through abortions. The president is expected to appear at the rally in a pre-recorded video. Trump issued a sweeping executive order on Monday that granted full pardons for about 1,500 criminal defendants related to the January 6 Capitol Riot, making good on a campaign promises to free those targeted by the Biden administration. His actions prompted many in the pro-life community to hope that he would similarly pardon the pro-life activists targeted by the Biden Justice Department under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act. "I hope President Trump will shortly pardon the pro-life prisoners unjustly targeted & jailed by the Biden Administration," Republican Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley posted to "X" on Wednesday. "They deserve to be free." On Thursday, The Daily Signal first reported that Republican Utah Sen, Mike Lee had re-introduced a bill that would repeal the FACE Act once and for all. "While President [Donald] Trump is stopping these outrageous prosecutions, we should ensure that no future administration has the ability to persecute Americans through unequal application of the law," Lee told the publication. Republican Rep. Chip Roy of Texas introduced a companion bill in the House on Tuesday, saying Republicans needed to take advantage of their control of Congress and the White House. Trump has repeatedly criticized the Biden DOJ for targeting pro-lifers on "outrageous charges," promising on the campaign trail to "rapidly review the cases of every political prisoner who's unjustly victimized by the Biden regime...so we can get them out of the gulags and back to their families where they belong." The pardons would bring immediate relief to those currently imprisoned including Lauren Handy (57 months in prison), John Hinshaw (21 months), Jonathan Darnell (34 months), Herb Geraghty (27 months), Jean Marshall (24 months), Joan Bell (27 months), Paulette Harlow (24 months), Bevelyn Williams (41 months), Heather Idoni (24 months), and Calvin Zastrow (6 months).Regarding making foreigners advocating for terrorist groups deportable: there are some Islamic extremists at Columbia who need to be ejected from the country. To be clear, I don't think that people should be punished for arguing against Israel. They have that right. But you can't advocate for a terrorist group if you are a foreigner who is only here by our leave, and you can't threaten Jewish students, saying "the enemy [Jews] will not see tomorrow."
Anti-Israel student activists unleashed mayhem at Columbia University on Tuesday afternoon, which marked the beginning of the spring semester. Several keffiyeh-clad student activists stormed an Israeli history class and passed out anti-Semitic flyers glorifying Hamas, depicting the Star of David being crushed, and promising violence. Others vandalized the campus and called on their followers to shut down the university. Four student activists, donning keffiyehs, marched into the class, "History of Modern Israel," filming themselves as they recited a script, passed out propaganda, and harassed students, most of whom are Jewish, according to a student in the class. "THE ENEMY WILL NOT SEE TOMORROW," read one flyer, which used an upside-down triangle symbol that Hamas uses to denote Israeli targets to spell "TOMORROW." The flyer depicts a truck full of Hamas terrorists brandishing heavy artillery, including two RPGs and machine guns. ... A different Columbia course on Zionism avoided disruption today--one taught by Joseph Massad. The tenured lecturer praised Hamas's Oct. 7 terror attack, calling it "incredible" and "awesome" just one day after the assault and separately accused Jews of engaging in a "Hitlerian project." Columbia defended its decision to allow Massad to teach a spring course by touting the fact that his class "is one of three courses Columbia students can elect to take ... on the subject of Zionism and the history of Israel."I keep being told that this diversity is "Our Strength." Well, it's time to be magnanimous and start returning "Our Strength" to the third world shitholes it came from. It's selfish of us to keep hoarding all of "Our Strength" for ourselves. Let the world share in "Our Strength"!!!

This is outrageous: One of the Trump-hating judges who gleefully sentenced J6ers to prison for "parading in a public place" is now refusing to honor Trump's pardons of J6ers."
Julie KellyThat means that a later DOJ can revive the charges. She's simply blowing off the pardon. This is insurrection. Put this rancid insurrecting leftist in the cell that used to hold a J6er. Howell was one of the judges rubber-stamping every motion by illegal prosecutor Jack Smith. So was Tanya Chutkin, who is also ranting about the pardons. Politico reports on the judicial insurrection:
@julie_kelly2 DC JUDGES ACTING REALLY BADLY: Hoy sh*t. This gem from former chief judge Beryl Howell, an unabashed Trump hater, who denied part of new DC US atty motion to dismiss J6 indictment following Pres Trump's pardon. She calls the president's pardon proclamation "flatly wrong." When you see someone claiming these proceedings were fair and impartial, present this tirade to them. Long past time to impeach this desperate, bitter hag. "The only reason provided for this instruction, as set out in the [President's] Proclamation's introduction, is the assertion that this action 'ends a grave national injustice that has been perpetrated upon the American people over the last four years and begins a process of national reconciliation. No 'national injustice' occurred here, just as no outcome-determinative election fraud occurred in the 2020 presidential election. No "process of national reconciliation" can begin when poor losers, whose preferred candidate loses an election, are glorified for disrupting a constitutionally mandated proceeding in Congress and doing so with impunity. That merely raises the dangerous specter of future lawless conduct by other poor losers and undermines the rule of law. Yet, this presidential pronouncement of a 'national injustice' is the sole justification provided in the government's motion to dismiss the pending indictment. Having presided over scores of criminal cases charging defendants for their criminal conduct both outside and inside the U.S. Capitol Building on January 6, 2021, which charges were fully supported by evidence in the form of extensive videotapes and photographs, admissions by defendants in the course of plea hearings and in testimony at trials, and the testimony of law enforcement officers and congressional staff present at the Capitol on that day, this Court cannot let stand the revisionist myth relayed in this presidential pronouncement. The prosecutions in this case and others charging defendants for their criminal conduct at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, present no injustice, but instead reflect the diligent work of conscientious public servants, including prosecutors and law enforcement officials, and dedicated defense attorneys, to defend our democracy and rights and preserve our long tradition of peaceful transfers of power--which, until January 6, 2021, served as a model to the world--all while affording those charged every protection guaranteed by our Constitution and the criminal justice system. As to these two defendants specifically, both admitted their criminal conduct under oath, after consultation with their attorneys, and pursuant to plea agreements to which they agreed. Bluntly put, the assertion offered in the presidential pronouncement for the pending motion to dismiss is flatly wrong." She dismissed without prejudice instead of with prejudice as DOJ asked.
Howell, who presided over several secret proceedings in special counsel Jack Smith's criminal cases against Trump -- issuing key rulings that required some of his top aides to testify to a grand jury -- was not the only judge Wednesday to defend the Jan. 6 prosecutions. U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan -- who was slated to preside over Trump's own criminal prosecution for seeking to subvert the 2020 election before his 2024 victory ended the case -- said Trump's mass pardons "cannot whitewash the blood, feces, and terror that the mob left in its wake." "It cannot repair the jagged breach in America's sacred tradition of peacefully transitioning power," Chutkan wrote in an order connected to a Jan. 6 felony case. "In hundreds of cases like this one over the past four years, judges in this district have administered justice without fear or favor. The historical record established by those proceedings must stand, unmoved by political winds, as a testament and as a warning." U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly said Trump's action could never change the "immutable" record of violence and heroism of law enforcement, which will remain enshrined in court records. "Dismissal of charges, pardons after convictions, and commutations of sentences will not change the truth of what happened on January 6, 2021," Kollar-Kotelly wrote in a six-page order dismissing charges against Dominic Box, whom she had previously convicted of two felony counts for his role in the riot. "What occurred that day is preserved for the future through thousands of contemporaneous videos, transcripts of trials, jury verdicts, and judicial opinions analyzing and recounting the evidence through a neutral lens," Kollar-Kotelly wrote. "Those records are immutable and represent the truth, no matter how the events of January 6 are described by those charged or their allies."Impeach.

Ratcliffe, one of the brave heroes who exposed the RussiaGate Hoax, has been confirmed. Trump is meanwhile asking questions of "career civil servants" on the National Security Council, attempting to ferret out #Resistance types who will illegally impose a Bureaucrat's Veto on the duly-elected president of the United States. NBC and the AP are scandalized! The Bureaucrat's Veto is the key to our system of government!
LOL, fuck you.
Incoming senior Trump administration officials have begun questioning career civil servants who work on the White House National Security Council about who they voted for in the 2024 election, their political contributions and whether they have made social media posts that could be considered incriminating by President-elect Donald Trump's team, according to a U.S. official familiar with the matter. At least some of these nonpolitical employees have begun packing up their belongings since being asked about their loyalty to Trump -- after they had earlier been given indications that they would be asked to stay on at the NSC in the new administration, the official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive personnel matters. Trump's pick for national security adviser, Florida Rep. Mike Waltz, in recent days publicly signaled his intention to get rid of all nonpolitical appointees and career intelligence officials serving on the NSC by Inauguration Day to ensure the council is staffed with those who support Trump's agenda. A wholesale removal of foreign policy and national security experts from the NSC on Day 1 of the new administration could deprive Trump's team of considerable expertise and institutional knowledge at a time when the U.S. is grappling with difficult policy challenges in Ukraine, the Mideast and beyond. Such questioning could also make new policy experts brought in to the NSC less likely to speak up about policy differences and concerns.
... Waltz told Breitbart News last week that "everybody is going to resign at 12:01 on January 20." He added that he wanted the NSC to be staffed by personnel who are "100 percent aligned with the president's agenda." ... Alexander Vindman said in a statement Friday that the Trump team's approach to staffing the NSC "will have a chilling effect on senior policy staff across the government." He added, "Talented professionals, wary of being dismissed for principled stances or offering objective advice, will either self-censor or forgo service altogether." The two men were heralded by Democrats as patriots for speaking out and derided by Trump as insubordinate. Eugene Vindman in November was elected as a Democrat to represent Virginia's 7th Congressional District.Go choke to death on a donut, Commando Bearclaw. Fire the Disloyal Opposition. Every single Republican was demanded to confess that Biden won the presidency for the past five years. Why should these Deep State Insurrectionists not be forced to confess that Trump is the duly-elected president and, as such, the Commander in Chief and Chief Foreign Policy Officer of the United States, and granted the power to make US foreign and military policy as he sees fit?

I'm so proud of my president for taking a strong stand against needless carbon dioxide emissions. All of the Davoisie, who claim to be so concerned about global warming, unleash a thousand Climate Hiroshimas into the air to jet to Switzerland so they can be away from their spouses and have sex with prostitutes and gay waiters/actors.
Niall Ferguson reports from the Orgy of the Oligarchs, and says that privately, the Davoisie crowd is bullish on Trump and America. But, he warns: Davos Man is always wrong.Well Davos Man can't always be wrong. Can he?
This year, everyone here is bullish on MAGA. That's your cue to take the other side of the trade. By Niall Ferguson
DAVOS, Switzerland -- Eight years ago, Davos Man mocked Donald Trump. Five years ago, he despised Trump. But in 2025, the mood at the World Economic Forum has completely changed. The great American vibe shift has made it to Davos, and the European business elite badly wants a piece of it. Two days of trudging up and down the Promenade--the main drag of the Swiss ski resort town where the WEF is held each year--were enough to convince me of that. True, the WEF propaganda remains fixated on Environmental, Social, and Governance issues, and, of course, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion--the familiar, woke-globalist acronyms ESG and DEI, now supplemented with AI. The corporate billboards still burble their word salads about resilience and sustainability. But talk to the chief executives and a very different picture emerges. True, the WEF propaganda remains fixated on Environmental, Social, and Governance issues, and, of course, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion--the familiar, woke-globalist acronyms ESG and DEI, now supplemented with AI. The corporate billboards still burble their word salads about resilience and sustainability. But talk to the chief executives and a very different picture emerges. Almost everyone at Davos is long U.S., short EU. The trouble is that the Davos consensus is nearly always wrong. I still remember the way it was five years ago. It was clear to me--and I told everyone who would listen--that a global pandemic was underway. But what was the dominant topic on the agenda of the World Economic Forum? That's right: climate change and how morally superior Greta Thunberg was to wicked Donald Trump. So, if Davos Man is, despite his qualms, long America and short Europe, that might be your cue to take the other side of the trade.

An example he gives of how bureaucrats will "crush" RFKJr.: they'll set up a fake commission to "study" one of his issues, like fluoridation in the water.
But the fake commission will grind on for years, doing nothing, and effectively stopping all action on RFKJr.'s order, because, you know, we have to wait for the results of the "study." This guy, caught in a James O'Keefe Bumble-Date Sting, also admits: "the Deep State, to some extent, is real." He admits the bureaucracy serves its own interests, by fighting back against cuts to their budgets, for example.Posted by: Ace at 01:26 PM | Comments (518) | Trackbacks (Suck)
Good Thursday, friends, insurrectionists, and co-conspirators.
Collin Rugg
@CollinRugg NEW: Haitian man says "F*ck Trump, Biden forever," gets arrested by ICE's elite Boston unit to be deported. The ultimate FAFO. The arrest was part of a Boston raid on the "worst of the worst" criminal illegal aliens, as reported by @BillMelugin_. "It's a frigid five degrees in the pre-dawn hours just outside of Boston where this team of elite ice officers is briefing on their targets for the day." Tom Homan says this is just the beginning.
Karoline Leavitt
@PressSec Bye bye!
Note that ICE is making "collateral" arrests as well -- illegals found near wanted illegals will also be deported. Sanctuary jurisdictions are causing this, as ICE would just pick up criminals from the jails if sanctuary jurisdictions let them. But they won't, so ICE is conducting raids.
Bill Melugin
@BillMelugin_ EXCLUSIVE: We were given exclusive access to ICE's elite Boston team as they went into sanctuary jurisdictions and targeted the "worst of the worst" criminal illegal aliens, including a combative Haitian man who said he won't go back & screamed "F**k Trump, Biden forever!". Other targets arrested included a MS-13 gang member with an Interpol Red Notice for aggravated murder, another MS-13 gang member facing gun charges, and multiple rape & sexual assault suspects, several of whom had been released from sanctuary jurisdictions with ICE detainers ignored. One of the MS-13 suspects had just been released by a sanctuary jurisdiction the day before our embed. When ICE found him -- he was with another man who ICE determined is also in the U.S. illegally. ICE arrested him and will seek to deport him, telling me he never would have been caught up if the MS-13 suspect would have been handed to them at jail. This is "collateral", and Tom Homan warns sanctuary cities will see more of it.
Jennie TaerAs someone remarked: The Teams are clear, huh?
@JennieSTaer Haitian illegal alien gang member is big mad at Trump after getting nabbed by ICE in Boston: "F*** Trump! You feel me? Yo, Biden forever, bro! Thank Obama for everything he did for me, bro!" Great coverage by @BillMelugin_

That wasn't so tough, was it! On one hand, it is absolutely ridiculous that we are spending time on what is axiomatic. On the other hand, Donald Trump just stuck his big thumb in the eye of every Woke idiot and far-left loon. Hopefully this pronouncement will be followed by real action against the criminal behavior of the trans industry and their surgical and pharmaceutical mutilations of children. Doctors and therapists and social workers who push this vile criminal behavior need to go to jail. And let's toss in Big Pharma for good measure. Did anyone have "The official position of the United States government is that there are only two genders: male and female" on their dance card for 2025? I sure didn't, and it is great and welcome news. Let us all look forward to more obvious and simple statements that will propel us back to some semblance of sanity!

So, charge the Brandon Johnsons, Elizabeth Warrens, Kathy Hochuls, Tina Koteks and all the others with however many tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of counts, prosecute them and send them to a a Federal prison and throw away the key. Either that, or revoke statehoods, city charters, abolish their governments and return them to territorial status to be governed by a designated official from the Trump administration. Regardless of whatever action may or may not happen to counter this insubordination and dare I say it "INSURRECTION" which is a word the Democrats should never be allowed to use, given their history, but I digress. The problem with Trump and company fighting back is they depend upon people and institutions, most notably the courts, who have been so corrupted over the course of many decades that their willingness to abrogate their oaths to preserve protect and defend the Constitution from enemies foreign and domestic, presents a gigantic obstacle. Potentially, it also presents a pretty big opportunity. Look at Trump's absolutely righteous EO correctly slamming the insane notion of the 14th Amendment granting birthright citizenship to anyone whose offspring are spawned within our borders. Of course the usual gang of idiots and liars will claim past precedent via a SCOTUS ruling or whatever. Which is funny considering the geschrei when SCOTUS reversed Roe. And that of course raises the issue of 200 years of judicial overreach of a corrupted court. True, much of the opposition to Trump is personal, but it's based on the fact that his mission is to denude the Deep State of its ill-gotten and abused power to impose its will on the citizenry, be it for ideological reasons, venality and likely both. It must be confronted and smashed, directly and fearlessly. Trump is demonstrating he has the will to do it. Does he have the allies in and out of government to see it through. Time will tell. For the present time, he does have the political winds at his back, given that especially the illegal alien invasion issue and concomitant criminality that came with it is likely what propelled him across the finish line with what really was in the last analysis a legitimate landslide victory, given the nature of modern electoral politics these days. But traitors still abound:
A Florida man released from jail after President Trump pardoned Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot prisoners is back behind bars Wednesday on unrelated federal gun charges from nearly two years ago. The arrest warrant for Daniel Charles Ball, 39, was filed in the US District Court for the Middle District of Florida last August, on charges of possessing a firearm and ammunition as a convicted felon, and court filings show he was arrested on Wednesday — one day after a slew of charges related to his alleged involvement in the Capitol riot were dismissed. The Homosassa, Fla., resident was arrested by local law enforcement officers in May of 2023 for his alleged role in the riot.There was no riot. All the violence that day was committed either by FBI plants and Pelosi's Capitol PD to stage an insurrection and thus have cause to arrest both Trump and people like Ball. So now that he and thank goodness so many others were freed, the mythological big lie narrative of 1/6 pimped by the Left is crumbling to dust, and they of course cannot have that. But what the heck is going on? Who is running the DoJ right now. I don't think Pam Bondi has been confirmed yet. That said, the only reason this man is being charged is to stick a finger in Trump's eye. Time for Bondi and DISCIPLINE!!!! Along with the aforementioned local and state politicians, this kind of entrenched rot still abounds. We still have a Deep State and the cancer must be excised until every last vestige is removed with as much extreme prejudice as can be mustered.
But of course, the real problem is Elon Musk, who evidently is a Nazi because he supposedly gave a Seig Heil salute at the Inauguration, Personally, given the fact that Musk is America's leading African-American citizen, I find this slur against him to be an abomination. Funny enough, the biggest mouth this rotten sewage emanates from is none other than you guessed it. Ironic given who and what Titty-Caca is and says:
The year is 2025; World War II ended 80 years ago. Spoiler alert: Hitler didn’t win. But apparently, Nazis are still everywhere.Now THIS is a great idea!
Putin claimed the Nazis are in Ukraine. Biden claimed the Russians are the Nazis. Hamas claimed the Nazis are in Israel. Governor Trudeau apologized for honoring a Nazi in the Canadian parliament. It’s been alleged that Nazis are inspiring communist China and their close ally, North Korea.
Nazis, Nazis, Nazis!
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), the 35-year-old ex-bartender, would probably disagree with all the above Nazi sightings — but with one notable exception:
Hamas is right: The Israelis ARE Nazis.
Along with her fellow Squad members, AOC and her cohorts never miss an opportunity to vilify the Jewish homeland. They even voted against a nonbinding resolution that simply said, “the State of Israel is not a racist or apartheid state” and that Congress rejects “all forms of antisemitism and xenophobia.”
(I guess that was a bridge too far.) . . .
. . . The Squad peddles vile, cruel tropes that echo the sentiments of history’s most depraved Jew-haters. “Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel,” read a Squad-member's Tweet. Naturally, the Jews accomplish this by weaponizing money: "It’s all about the Benjamins, baby."
Today, American Jews are being attacked, injured, harassed, bullied, and assaulted on college campuses. After Hamas launched a sneak attack that targeted civilians for murder, rape, torture, and kidnappings, antisemitic incidents on college campuses have skyrocketed by 700%.
And it’s not conservatives who are doing the harassing. It’s left-wing, anti-Israel radicals. . . But AOC refuses any accountability for the bigotry, violence, and Jew-hating on the left. She closes her eyes and pretends it doesn’t exist.
A “loud proud Zionist” organization sent the Trump administration documents on dozens of allegedly pro-terrorist college students and faculty, hoping President Donald Trump will deport them, the Daily Caller News Foundation has learned.
Activist group Betar US confirmed to the DCNF Wednesday that it sent the information to officials in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Department of Justice (DOJ), and the White House. The Jewish organization says it documented 100 students and 20 faculty and staff members with visas in the U.S. whom Trump should deport for supporting terrorist groups such as Hamas.
Also, find out who is funding these groups, RICO their asses, confiscate their Benjamins (heh) and deport them or prosecute if prosecutable. And this extends to Academia, and fiends like Rashid Khalidi and his ilk who are poisoning the minds of successive generations of our youth. Have a great day. And lastly, a quick shout-out and thank you for your continued support in hitting our tip jar. It truly is appreciated more than you can know.

The 5090 is the only model in Nvidia's 2025 lineup that has seen a significant improvement over its 4000-series predecessor.
It's also the only model that has seen a significant price increase over its 4000-series predecessor.
The rest of the range is around 10% faster than last year's refresh models and about the same price, which is underwhelming at best.
Nvidia's claims of providing 4090 performance at 4070 prices are based on AI frame interpolation, or to use the vernacular, bullshit.

Kamala Harris was all smiles and affection for her 'beloved' second gentleman Doug Emhoff in the immediate aftermath of her crushing presidential election defeat. But now that President Donald Trump has been sworn into office, for sore loser Harris, it is now all about the blame game, and her target has flipped to her 'dead weight' husband. And as she weighs her political future -- maybe a 2026 run for Governor of California or another try for the nation's top job two years later -- she has to consider whether Emhoff is an asset or a liability.First of all, LOL at the thought that she'll be running for any major office again. Second of all, LOL at the question of whether Doug "Slugger" Emhoff is an asset or liability.
One source exclusively told DailyMail.com: 'There's plenty of blame to go around as far as Kamala is concerned and Doug has his share. 'Doug did Kamala no favors during the election -- frankly, he looked like a hypocritical a** after the bombshells that he had got his child's nanny pregnant while married to his first wife and assaulted his ex-girlfriend on the heels of his 'I am woman' crusade.'There is only one question for Kamala: Does Doug "bring the D"? And there is only one answer: Based on appearances and his history of being openly cucked by car valets, no, Doug does not bring the D. He couldn't bring the D if you filled a basket with D and had four strong men carry it for him.
Kamela is going to be unburdened by what has been. Posted by: fdBut that's not all the wonderful goss I have for you. The rumor, the exquisite rumor, that Barack Obama and Michelle Obama are getting divorced was spread more widely by Meghan McCain in a podcast. I realize that Meghan McCain is not exactly a trustworthy source. But let me have this, damnit!!!
Conservative commentator Meghan McCain and Puck senior political correspondent Tara Palmeri poured fuel on the fire of the rumor that former President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle Obama are getting divorced in an episode of the former's podcast released on Wednesday. "Fast and furious loud, I have been hearing this rumor that the Obamas are getting a divorce by reputable people. I'm not talking about TMZ. I'm not talking about Perez Hilton, although I love him, he's my friend. I'm talking about like very serious journalists telling me that they're hearing that the Obama divorce rumors are true," said McCain to start the conversation. "Do you agree with that? Have you heard that? Do you think it's just garbage?" "Oh yeah! I mean I've certainly heard it for awhile, even before Michelle said she wasn't coming to the inauguration, which also could be interpreted as like another act of resistance, which would only make her like more -- if that's really true and they stayed together -- like more of a baddie in the movement when like, there really is no one in the Democratic Party who is like holding that mantle aside from AOC," replied Palmeri. "But yeah, we've heard that for a long time. Like I just heard that they live separate lives. Like, it's just, that's just what happened. But they are kind of like America's sweethearts in a lot of ways and it's, so, I think it would be devastating," added the political reporter.Yeah, this communist power couple are "America's Sweethearts." Megyn Kelly alluded to this rumor in one of her bitchy gossip seshes -- no judgment, I listen to them -- with that woman from the Daily Mail.
The photo they're talking about is below. It shows the couple, who are obviously very much in love, sitting as far apart as possible while still technically being seated at the same table and grimacing for the photo like they're hearing their biopsy results. And boy howdy, Michele sure got all dolled-up for her anniversary, huh?
Palmeri went on to note that the former first couple had made an Instagram post celebrating their anniversary, causing McCain to interject and declare that it was "a very weird photo, though, of her."


This goes well with "reporter" John Harwood's preachy tweet from 2018, after some murders (which ones? Who can keep track?) by narcoterrorist gang MS-13:
John HarwoodPerfect. Remember, the media selected him to "moderate" a Republican primary debate. Mark Halperin notes the Democrats are leaderless. And Barack Obama was never really a leader, and certainly hasn't been for a decade. They don't know which issues to prioritize or fight for. Having no leader also means, I'd add, they have no one in authority to tell them, "You have to let 'protecting criminal illegals' go, it's killing you." The Democrat Party is a party of cowardice and cultishness and dares not repudiate any of its woke lunatics. We are all freed from #Cancellation by the campus lunatics, but the Democrat Party is not. They're still prisoners. They have no courage. And without a leader with courage stepping up to lead them, they will continue to be dominated by their wokest, most racist, most trans-supremacist, most DEI, most pro-Hamas, most pro-mental-illness members. Some angry muttering by 80-year-old James Carville isn't enough. Needling by brokedown old libertine Bill Maher isn't enough. They need someone in high elected office to rise up and have Sista Soulja moment. Incredibly, Transgender Simon Phoenix says it will be just horrible, and result in bullying and rapes, if "transgender women" are placed in male prisons. And yet Transgender Simon Phoenix denies that "transgender women" will bully or rape actual women if placed in women's prisons!
@JohnJHarwood however repugnant their actions, MS-13 gang members are human beings IMHO May 17, 2018

Plus: Bureaucrats Insurrect Against Trump's Order to Fire DEI Employees
Warner Bros. Discovery's CNN plans to lay off hundreds of employees Thursday as it refocuses the business around a global digital audience, according to people familiar with the matter. The layoffs come as CNN is rearranging its linear TV lineup and building out digital subscription products. The cuts will help CNN lower production costs and consolidate teams, said the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss nonpublic changes. Certain shows that are produced in New York or Washington may move to Atlanta, where production can be done more cheaply, said the people. For the most part, the job cuts won't affect CNN's most recognizable names, who are under contract, said the people. CNN has about 3,500 employees worldwide.Oh good! The untalented "talent" that caused the ratings collapse get to keep their phoney-baloney jobs and $7-20 million salaries, while the cogs and plebs making $75,000 get fired.
... In October, CNN launched a digital paywall, charging heavier users of the site $3.99 per month.LOL. CNN has nothing but "heavier users." But not many of them.
Meanwhile, a fake reporter at the NYT who just writes "Trump is Hitler" over and over is... resigning from "reporting," because Trump broke his neurotic brain:
NBC News is also planning cuts later this week, according to people familiar with the matter. While the exact number couldn't be determined, the job losses will be well under 50, two of the people said. Spokespeople for NBC News and CNN declined to comment.

One student is dead and another is hospitalized with a gunshot wound following a shooting Wednesday at a Nashville high school cafeteria. The shooter, a 17-year-old student, fatally shot himself after firing multiple shots at Antioch High School just after 11 a.m. CT, police said at a news conference. The shooter was armed with a pistol, authorities said. A female student suffered a graze wound to the arm and is in stable condition at the hospital. A male student was also treated for a facial injury, but was not shot.There are claims about who the shooter is/was but they haven't been confirmed. The longer the police and media take to confirm his identity, the more likely those early claims are to be right. Update: I'm seeing people saying that one of the female students this miscreant shot has died. I don't know if that's true. Early reports are always suspect.

I actually don't know if she's a lesbian. She is "lesbian-coded," as the kids say. She looks like a frail genderless Fred Gwynne. I don't know whether I'm supposed to be Vincent Gallo or Vincent Callo with this bitchy "bishop."
Who could have predicted this inevitable betrayal by a drab neurotic leftwing Karen?President Trump on Wednesday tore into the "nasty" Democratic bishop who lectured him at the National Prayer Service -- as the church leader confirmed she was sending him a political message. Trump's takedown came after having to sit through Tuesday's service in which the Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde -- the Episcopal bishop of DC -- turned it into a rant about illegal migrants, refugees and the LGBT community. "The so-called Bishop who spoke at the National Prayer Service on Tuesday morning was a Radical Left hard line Trump hater," the president wrote on his Truth Social account just after midnight. "She brought her church into the World of politics in a very ungracious way," he said -- saying she did so in a "nasty" tone that was "not compelling or smart." He singled out the way that the bishop called on him to "have mercy" on immigrant families "whose children fear that their parents will be taken away." "She failed to mention the large number of illegal migrants that came into our Country and killed people," Trump wrote.This Dedicated Servant of Self spared no time in booking herself on to #Resistance propaganda channels.

@CollinRugg NEW: The liberal activist bishop who told Trump to show "mercy" to LGBT kids, says she called out the president because it was her responsibility to "counter" him. Your responsibility is not to turn a sermon into a political debate. Bishop Mariann Budde joined CNN to double down on her comments from earlier today. "[LGBT kids and illegals] have been portrayed all throughout the political campaign in the harshest of lights... I wanted to counter..."

Someone remarked the Latte Left is turning on Karen Bass in order to save the incompetent they have their 2028 hopes pinned on, Gavin Newsom. So the left is scapegoating a Strong Empowered Black Woman to boost the Privileged White Straight (?) Man.
But while that is probably true, a lot more people are just sick of the endless incompetence of the Democrat Party and its prioritization of culture war provocations over providing the actual government services they're supposed to provide. Joel Kotkin in his Unheard substack: Even Hollywood is Turning on LA Mayor Karen Bass.I don't think you can count Justine Bateman and Dennis Quaid as the usual Democrat-partisan celebrities. But I guess Maria Shriver is a very minor "get."
After her election as mayor of Los Angeles in 2022, Karen Bass was a heroine of California's Left. A former backer of Fidel Castro, she decisively defeated billionaire businessman Rick Caruso, who spent more than $100 million to try and defeat her. With a struggling economy, rising crime, and a high cost of living, Bass's election seemed to confirm LA's final transition from a place of political diversity to a single-party city dominated by a well-organised Left and funders from the public unions. Now, though, Bass "is a dead woman walking", as a union organiser friend told me this week. The revelations of incompetence, poor planning, and awful communication, combined with the fact that the LA mayor was partying in Ghana when wildfires started in her city, have worked against her, and yesterday angry protestors gathered outside her home. Some charges made by Donald Trump and Elon Musk tying the disaster to DEI and climate policies are exaggerated. But Bass's lack of interest in public safety mirrors the new progressive script which prioritises "social justice" over actual justice, racial quotas over merit, and climate alarmism over common sense. Naturally, Bass, Governor Gavin Newsom and their media supporters reject conservatives' accusations of incompetence. They say opponents are using the fires as a political "piñata", and blame the damage on climate change. Yet Steven Koonin, a respected physicist and advisor in the Obama administration, has argued that the real responsibility lies with a slew of bad policies which left the city unprepared for the scale of the disaster. Fires have been a regular feature of life here in Southern California for at least 20 million years. Given recent weather conditions, the city should have known what was coming. Rather than help save our piece of the planet, proponents of the green movement have been consistent barriers to effective fire management. As far back as 2018, the Little Hoover Commission found that controlled burns and brush clearance were necessary to avoid catastrophic wildfires, yet not enough was done. Even as the state reacted to major fires in 2020, attempts at controlled fires have been hampered by environmental lawsuits that delay implementation, as well as fire management budget cuts. Bass also cut the fire budget. California has been running huge deficits in recent years, but not enough of those funds have gone towards fire preparedness. Those in charge never made sure that fire engines were in place beforehand, that there was sufficient water pressure in hydrants, and that reservoirs were filled. To her credit, the LA council member who represents the Palisades, Traci Park, has consistently made these arguments. Unsurprisingly, there has been a groundswell against Bass and the city's bureaucrats. Some Hollywood stars -- a group which has historically been the bulwark of the progressive movement -- have even joined in. Celebrities including Maria Shriver, Justine Bateman and Dennis Quaid have now called on Bass to resign, as have the 150,000 signatories of a petition launched last week. As the journalist Michael Shellenberger notes: "They didn't imagine their vote would result in their homes burning down."
Despite the obsessive pounding about climate change, less than one in three Californians approve of Newsom's handling of the fires. Demands from Republicans in Congress could force the city and state to reverse the policies that exacerbated the fires. Perhaps the worst thing that could happen would be to follow a Bidenesque approach of handing out billions without reforming anything or imposing performance benchmarks.Speaker of the House Mike Johnson says that any aid to California will have strings attached, so we're not writing another trillion dollar check to these entitled communist morons next year.
In an interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity on Tuesday, House Speaker Mike Johnson doubled down on saying lawmakers are talking about placing conditions on aid given to California after the Los Angeles area experienced massive wildfires that firefighters are still battling. "Are you saying that California, if they continue to aid and abet lawbreaking and harbor illegal immigrants, money from DC gets cut off?" Hannity asked. Johnson replied, "Yeah. We're talking about conditions to this disaster aid. Look, there are natural disasters, but there are manmade disasters as well, and they've made terrible decisions. You know, they knew exactly what they were doing." "That reservoir outside the Pacific Palisades, 117 million gallons, it was empty for a year. Why? They were trying to save a smelt fish or something. I mean, their policies are upside down, they made decisions that made that disaster exponentially worse, and this is what the American taxpayer is demanding of us everywhere else in the country." Since January 7, when the Palisades and Eaton fires began, over 40,000 acres have burned and over 15,000 structures have been destroyed. At least 28 people have died as a result, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Prevention. On Monday, President Donald Trump signed an order requiring California to reapportion their water resources to benefit humans, not endangered fish.

"There's going to be more collateral arrests in sanctuary cities because they forced us to go into the community and find the guy we're looking for," Homan said. "When you release a public safety threat out of a sanctuary jail and they won't give us access to him, that means we got to go to the neighborhood and find him, and we will find him, but when we find him, he may be with others," Homan added. "Others that don't have a criminal conviction and are in the country illegally. They will be arrested too." Homan said that's the difference between the Trump administration and the previous one: "ICE is going to enforce the immigration law." As he went on to note, there's nothing in the Immigration and Nationality Act stating an illegal immigrant must be convicted of a serious crime to be deported. Surprised by his statement, Bash asked for clarification on what he was saying. "Let me just make sure that I understand what you're saying, because at first you said that the first targets are those with criminal records, but you are also saying that those who are undocumented in the U.S. who don't have criminal records, people who are working in their communities, maybe even have spouses who are American citizens, they could be swept up by ICE today as well?" she asked.My dick just got remoralized. And it just got even more remoralized: the Justice Department is putting Sanctuary Democrats on notice that it is illegal to block the federal government from executing federal policy and they will be prosecuted if they turn Insurrectionist.
"What I'm telling you is, when we go find our priority target, which is a criminal alien, if he's with others in the United States illegally, we're going to take enforcement action against him," Homan replied. "We're going to enforce the immigration law."
The Justice Department is directing its federal prosecutors to investigate for potential criminal charges any state or local officials who stand in the way of beefed-up enforcement of immigration laws under the Trump administration, according to a memo to the workforce obtained by The Associated Press on Wednesday. The memo, written by acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove, also instructs the Justice Department's civil division to work with a newly formed Sanctuary Cities Enforcement Working Group to identify state and local laws and policies that "threaten to impede" the Trump administration's immigration efforts and potentially challenge them in court. The three-page memo signals an immediate and sharp turnabout in priorities from President Joe Biden's Democratic administration, with prosecutors told in no uncertain terms that they will be on the front lines of an administration-wide effort to crack down on illegal immigration and border crime and that they are expected to carry out the policy vision of President Donald Trump's Republican White House when it comes to violent crimes, the threat of transnational gangs and drug trafficking. ... The memo said federal prosecutors must "take all steps necessary to protect the public and secure the American border by removing illegal aliens from the country and prosecuting illegal aliens for crimes" committed in U.S. jurisdiction."I was told Insurrection was the greatest crime imaginable, and must be punished by the harshest and most draconian means possible. So that's the standard we should shoot for, then.
The memo suggests there will be a spike in immigration cases under the new administration, instructing U.S. attorney's offices across the country to inform courts of its policy "and develop processes for handling the increased number of prosecutions that will result." Any decisions by federal prosecutors to decline to prosecute immigration violations must be disclosed to Justice Department headquarters in so-called "urgent reports," which are used to update leadership on law enforcement emergencies or significant matters of national interest. It also directs prosecutors to investigate for potential criminal charges cases in which state and local officials obstruct or impede federal functions. As potential avenues for prosecution, the memo cites a conspiracy offense as well as a law prohibiting the harboring of people in the country illegally.
"Federal law prohibits state and local actors from resisting, obstructing and otherwise failing to comply with lawful immigration-related commands and requests," the memo says. "The U.S. Attorney's Offices and litigating components of the Department of Justice shall investigate incidents involving any such misconduct for potential prosecution. ... The memo also says the department will return to the principle of charging defendants with the most serious crime it can prove, a staple position of Republican-led departments meant to remove a prosecutor's discretion to charge a lower-level offense. And it rescinds policies implemented by Biden Attorney General Merrick Garland, including one designed to end sentencing disparities that have imposed harsher penalties for different forms of cocaine.

Good Wednesday, friends.
This is a small thing but a good thing. The headline said that only one flag is permitted. That's not exactly true -- flags to honor POWs and hostages are allowed.The Trump administration has implemented a "One Flag Policy," restricting government buildings and U.S. embassies from flying flags other than the American flag, with limited exceptions. The move reverses policies under the Biden administration that permitted pride and Black Lives Matter (BLM) flags alongside the Stars and Stripes. Key Details: The policy, effective immediately, restricts flag displays at U.S. facilities to the American flag, the POW/MIA emblem, and the Wrongful Detainees Flag. State Department employees violating the directive face disciplinary action, including potential termination. Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued the order as part of broader Trump-led initiatives to eliminate "wokeness" in federal operations. Diving Deeper: The Trump administration's newly announced "One Flag Policy" underscores its commitment to prioritizing American symbolism in government operations. The policy mandates that U.S. facilities at home and abroad exclusively display the American flag, with exceptions for the POW/MIA and Wrongful Detainees Flags. This decision reverses Biden-era policies that allowed the pride flag and Black Lives Matter banners to fly alongside Old Glory at embassies and other government outposts. The policy memo, obtained by the Washington Free Beacon, emphasizes unity under the American flag. "The flag of the United States of America unites all Americans under the universal principles of justice, liberty, and democracy," the directive states. Newly confirmed Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued the order within hours of his swearing-in, signaling the administration's immediate shift in focus. The directive aligns with President Trump's executive orders targeting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, which were championed under the Biden administration.The country has been demoralized by sixty plus years of relentless Marxist propaganda and deliberate balkanization. The Marxists have succeeded to an extent they never could have predicted -- they have a frighteningly large fraction of young men and women no longer sexually attracted to each other and no longer interested in children. The Marxists have convinced a large swath of people in this country to join their "voluntary human self-extinction" project. They've convinced their cultists that people are too evil to continue existing.
I keep trying to think what a "remoralization" project would look like, apart from simply blocking/defunding the Marxist attack on civilization and its anti-natalist, anti-human agenda. Suggestions welcome. Oh: Meant to mention, Rubio was confirmed as SecState unanimously.
