Outgoing Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, a top contender to be the next leader of NATO, encouraged Western allies to stop fretting over the prospect of former President Donald Trump returning to the White House. “We should stop moaning and whining and nagging about Trump,” Rutte said to the Munich Security Conference, according to Reuters. He added, “It’s up to the Americans. I’m not an American, I cannot vote in the U.S. We have to work with whoever is on the dance floor.” (snip) “We need to invest in our defense expenditure. We need to massively ramp up arms production, and we need to massively do more in support to Ukraine,” Rutte said.

Yep. He's going to be the President, and you DO have to figure out how to get along with him.

Interesting how all NATO countries are suddenly scrambling to ramp up their commitment to fund their 2% of GDP to be a member of NATO, particularly Germany.

Trump’s objective has always been for NATO countries to build up their armed forces so that they collectively can defend themselves against any Russian attack by spending at least 2% of their GNP. Trump is right, as why should the US taxpayer have to pay the defense requirements for those NATO countries that fail to defend themselves? Just because the leftist and socialist Democrats change Trump’s meaning when he speaks, does not make it true! You can bet your boots that once those NATO countries discover that Trump Has been elected, that they will boost up their defense spending thus meeting NATO requirements.

I was 'kinda' with him until I read the "do more in support to Ukraine." We've already given too much to Ukraine, and the next thing we will be giving them is the blood of our children. Things in that part of the world will always be turbulent, with or without American blood being spilled.

The worldwide "Political Class" isn't angry with the man, Donald Trump, per se; no, what they're really seething over is the rise of the global "Populism" movement, wherein complete unknowns with a YouTube following can easily displace "dyed-in-the-wool" politicians, with pedigree, elite education, and socialist bearing to hold office and move the Globalist Agenda forward. "Populism" relates to "Globalism" like adding sand to ones engine oil before embarking on a long trip.

About NATO, Trump was echoing what the "God Lord" says, He will help those who help themselves! (with 2% of their GDP invested in Military!)

Relationship columnists and pop psychologists have long claimed that men and women are wired differently, and a new study has proven them correct. Scientists developed an artificial intelligence model that was able to tell the difference between scans of men's and women's brain activity with more than 90-percent accuracy. Most of these differences are in the default mode network, striatum, and limbic network - areas involved in a wide range of processes including daydreaming, remembering the past, planning for the future, making decisions, and smelling.

An education advocacy group hit Portland Public Schools (PPS) with a federal civil rights complaint Thursday over a policy that requires factoring students’ race and gender identity into disciplinary decisions. Parents Defending Education (PDE) alleges in its federal civil rights complaint that PPS is violating civil rights law and the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment through its new “Student Support and Discipline” policy, which requires educators to respond to “disruptive student behavior” by developing a behavior support plan that considers characteristics like race. The policy also requires the school district to assign educators based on race and gender identity.

St. Patrick’s Cathedral says it was duped into hosting a “sacrilegious” funeral for a transgender activist, which left church brass outraged after she was eulogized as “St. Cecilia, mother of all whores.” (snip) The cathedral says it had no clue about Gintili’s background. (snip) Ceyenne Doroshow, who organized the funeral, told the Times that those close to Gentili wanted to have her funeral at St. Patrick’s because the Fifth Avenue building “is an icon, just like her.” However, she admitted that she never mentioned Gentili was transgender when putting it together.

The St. Louis Park public school district in Minnesota will reportedly allow Muslim families to opt out of LGBT reading lessons for students. Two public interest law firms, True North Legal and First Liberty Institute, sent letters to the district saying forcing Muslims to participate in LGBT lessons is a violation of the First Amendment and state law, according to Alpha News. (snip) These third- and fourth-grade level children were exposed to LGBT content in October 2023, which caused “significant confusion and distress” among the families, the outlet reported.

One of the tricks of knowing when a leftist judge is pulling a fast one is if the decision is really, really long. (snip) Indeed, generally speaking, in my thirty-five years as an attorney, I’ve never seen an appellate court uphold damages so disproportionate to actual injuries suffered—and again, there were no injuries in this case. The fact that there were no injuries in itself means that the case, from ig to zack, denied Trump due process. I don’t see the judgment surviving an appeal, that’s for sure. (snip) And so, I think that this latest assault on Trump, rather than filling people with revulsion, will bring many around.

The effort to manipulate the information was headed up by John Brennan, Obama’s CIA director, who disregarded evidence that the Russians preferred Clinton because she was more predictable and highlighted questionable evidence claiming Russia favored Trump, sources told independent journalists Matt Taibbi, Michael Shellenberger, and Alex Gutentag.

The law, which imposes tougher penalties for engaging in prostitution while knowingly infected with HIV, violates the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Justice Department claims in its lawsuit. The department said Tennessee’s law elevates the crime simply “because the individual has HIV, regardless of any actual risk of harm.”

Local families in the predominantly black Roxbury neighborhood of Boston are furious after the city shut down the local community center to instead use it to house more of President Joe Biden’s illegal border crossers. Roxbury’s Melnea A. Cass Recreational Community Center, which was once a meeting place for Little League ball players, volleyball games, and other sports and community events, has now been dedicated to rows of cots for illegal border crossers, CBS, WBZ-TV Boston reported. WBZ interviewed pre-teen Jeremiah Rodriguez who showed up at the community center on Feb. 17 under the mistaken impression that his community baseball team was using the facility for batting practice.

Ever since transgender individuals have been allowed to participate in sporting events of the gender with which they identify, people with more than two fully functioning brain cells have been issuing warning after warning about the physical dangers posed to biological females by competition against biological males. Such warnings were met with cries of "bigot" and other such name-calling. However, case after case has emerged proving the concerns are completely valid. A good case in point comes from a high school girls' basketball game that ultimately ended in a forfeit at halftime due to three girls suffering injuries

On Friday, far left Judge Arthur Engoron fleeced $355 million from President Trump for taking out loans in New York State and paying them back on time and with interest. The charges were brought against Trump by crazed New York State Attorney General Letitia James. There were no victims in the so-called crime. The banks did their due diligence before they loaned Donald Trump the money and testified they would gladly do it again. Judge Engoron called this a crime and ruled that President Donald Trump owed the state $355 million. But that’s not all. As Volokh Conspiracy reported Engoron also put a Clinton-appointed judge in control

Newly uncovered documents reveal Joe Biden has an interesting connection to Abraham Lincoln and a personal reason to be thankful for his Presidency. Historian David J. Gerleman wrote in theWashington Post Monday that Biden’s great-great-grandfather, Moses J. Robinette, was pardoned by President Lincoln after being charged with murder following a particularly violent incident. He discovered this shocking detail after reviewing 22 pages of a court martial transcript. The charge came after a Robinette got into a brawl with fellow Union Army civilian employee John J. Alexander on March 21, 1864, in the Army of the Potomac’s winter camp in Virginia.

In case you aren't familiar with John Oliver, he's a hardcore leftist. So you know what his motivation is for wanting to get rid of Thomas. Liberals really, really hate conservatives. They also despise black conservatives. What really brings out their inherent racism is a black conservative who serves on the bench of the highest court in the country.

Oscar Wilde wrote that “moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess.” Justice Arthur Engoron took that line to heart with his absurd imposition of $455 million in fines and interest against Donald Trump and his corporation. It succeeded wonderfully with New Yorkers, who celebrated the verdict like a popular public execution. It also worked wonderfully to make it difficult to appeal. Much of the criticism of the decision focused on the unprecedented use of the law and the excessive size of the fine. The New York statute has been on the books for decades and has always been something of an anomaly

President Trump published a timely post on Truth Social earlier today on Presidents’ Day. President Trump has a keen awareness of the mood of the country. And, on this Presidents’ Day it’s hard to recognize America. The deliberate actions by the American left, the DC elites, the legacy media, and the tech conglomerates, are changing the US into a country our Founding Fathers would not recognize. Today, Joe Biden and his Obama handlers have transitioned America into a state that more closely resembles Chavez’s Venezuela than Reagan’s shining city on a hill. Democrats today have over 91 charges of lawfare leveled against him by the radical left.
