France Demands America: ‘Give Us Back
the Statue of Liberty!’
Posted By: ConservativeYankee, 3/17/2025 10:32:42 AM
Sacré bleu! Talk about a Napoleon complex. Some stories don’t require a lengthy set-up. They speak for themselves (and today, they’re parlez-vous-ing exclusively in French): France should take back the Statue of Liberty because the US no longer represents the values that led France to offer the statue, a French Euro-deputy said Sunday. "Give us back the Statue of Liberty", centre-left politician Raphael Glucksmann said at a convention of his Place Publique centre-left movement. "We're going to say to the Americans who have chosen to side with the tyrants, to the Americans who fired researchers for demanding scientific freedom: 'Give us back the Statue of Liberty,'" he told cheering supporters.

The Trump administration has directed the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to end language translation services for people calling for information about their immigration or employment status or their benefits.
In keeping with his March 1 order making English the official language of the United States, the president has directed the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to cancel a contract with a translation service provider, according to Government Executive magazine.

Elon Musk's attempt to unilaterally dismantle the U.S. Agency for International Development likely violated the United States Constitution, a federal judge ruled on Tuesday.
U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang ordered Musk and his Department of Government Efficiency to immediately give USAID employees access to their "email, payment, security notification, and all other electronic systems," and ordered a pause on any efforts to shut down USAID.
Judge Chuang wrote that Musk's takeover "usurped the authority of the public's elected representatives in Congress to make decisions on whether, when, and how to eliminate a federal government agency, and of Officers of the United States duly appointed under the Constitution

Nothing Quits Because Trump Might Make Progress 9 replies
The Biden appointee who headed a $42.5 billion program to provide broadband internet access in rural America, which hooked up exactly ZERO homes in three years, has quit in a huff. Democrat apparatchik Evan Feinman resigned Sunday and left behind a blistering, counterfactual, and self-serving letter blaming Elon Musk, “Stranding all or part of rural America with worse internet so that we can make the world’s richest man even richer is yet another in a long line of betrayals by Washington.”
Apparently, Feinman's departure was preciptiated by Commerce Secretary Howard Luttnick's intention to change the focus of the program from laying fiber optic cable to providing rural internet service,
Considering the massive changes that Donald Trump is bringing to D.C. and the wrecking ball applied to much of the government bureaucracy in his first few months in office, the president's actions on undoing the Biden administration's whole-of-government attacks on gun owners and the firearms industry have been relatively modest, but there's a sign that may be starting to change.
Former Surgeon General Vivek Murthy's declaration of gun violence as a "public health crisis" has been wiped rom the website of the Department of Health and Human Services; a move the White House said is a direct result of the president's executive order directing Attorney General Pam Bondi to
The Pentagon has declared the deployment of a Navy warship to enhance security measures along the U.S. Southern border.
Navy warship USS Gravely was deployed to operate in U.S. and international waters on Saturday, assisting “with border security operations.”
“USS Gravely departed from Naval Weapons Station York, [Virginia], for a scheduled deployment to the Gulf of America,” stated Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell.
“It’s not only vital for the United States to have control of our border via land. It’s equally important to control our territorial waters, and this deployment directly supports U.S. Northern Command’s mission to protect our sovereignty,” he added.
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has reported that over 12 million people 120-years-old and older were found to still be listed in the U.S. Social Security database.
On Tuesday, DOGE posted an update on their website, revealing that out of over 12 million individuals aged 120 and up in their records, approximately 3.2 million have now been classified as deceased.
“For the past two weeks, @SocialSecurity has begun a major cleanup of their records,” the announcement said. “Approximately 3.2 million number holders, all listed age 120+, have now been marked as deceased. More work still to be done.”
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) ridiculed Americans who dare to suggest that people should be allowed to keep what they earn, promising that government was there to stop them from doing so.
Schumer, who made an appearance Tuesday on ABC’s “The View,” spent much of the broadcast on his heels playing defense as the hosts grilled him over his last-minute support for the Republican-led Continuing Resolution that passed Friday and will fund the federal government through September.
During one segment, however, he paused to mock American conservatives and business owners who have the audacity to argue that they should be able to keep what they’ve earned and operate the businesses
Iowa Republican Sen. Joni Ernst asked the Department of Defense (DOD) on Tuesday to investigate a U.S. defense contractor owned by an individual with extensive ties to Chinese Communist Party (CCP) intelligence and influence agencies, according to a letter exclusively obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Ernst’s letter urges DOD to audit “and, if necessary, suspend or cancel all contracts” with New York-based S&L Aerospace Metals LLC, which has received approximately $60 million in defense contracts and subcontracts to produce fighter jet, attack helicopter and guided missile launcher parts. The letter cites a February 2025 DCNF investigation finding that Chinese government and state media reports had identified S&L’s CEO
The federal judge blocking President Trump’s bid to deport alleged Venezuelan gangsters once showed leniency to an FBI Russiagate lawyer who fudged evidence to surveil a Trump campaign official.
US District Judge James Boasberg gave former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith probation instead of jail time four years ago when the latter pleaded guilty to forging an email used as evidence to surveil 2016 Trump campaign official Carter Page.
“Courts all over the country rely on representations from the government and expect them to be correct,” Boasberg chided at the time.
But Boasberg ordered Clinesmith to serve 12 months of probation and perform 400 hours of community service instead of spending
A Republican lawmaker is demanding that the man responsible for leaking President Donald Trump’s tax returns in 2019 testify before the House Judiciary Committee.
Responsible for one of the largest data breaks in the Internal Revenue Service’s history, the ex-IRS contractor Charles Littlejohn is currently serving a five-year prison sentence for leaking the tax documents of roughly 400,000 wealthy Americans — including Trump — to media outlets in 2019 and 2020.
Littlejohn’s short sentence results from the DOJ charging him with only one count of unauthorized disclosure of tax information and then offering a plea deal, which Republicans blasted as too lenient.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, sent a letter
North Carolina’s poultry and pork producers are getting a commitment through streamlined administrative requirements from U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins.
The Tarheel State is No. 1 nationally in production of poultry and eggs, and No. 3 in hogs. Agriculture is the state's No. 1 industry, with annual economic impact estimated at $111.1 billion.
“America leads the world in pork and poultry production, and we are committed to ensuring our producers remain competitive on a global scale without being held back by unnecessary bureaucracy,” Rollins said.
The policy being implemented will maintain food safety standards, a release says.
The disgraced, far-left Associated Press’s latest lying piece of fake news involves spreading the blatant falsehood that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard described President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin as “very good friends.”
There is just one problem: she did not say that.
Naturally, it was only after this lie, in the form of a screaming headline, had been blasted all over the world, that the AP retracted its lie.
If I may, I’d liked to suggest to the AP that they spend less time cry-babying about not gaining access to certain White House events and more time NOT lying.

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts scolded President Trump Tuesday for demanding that a federal judge who blocked the swift deportation of Venezeulan gang members be impeached.
In a rare direct response to a presidential statement, Roberts responded to Trump’s morning comments toward Chief DC US District Judge James Boasberg, saying: “For more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagreement concerning a judicial decision.
“The normal appellate review process exists for that reason,” the chief justice concluded.
President Donald Trump has said that Joe Biden's 11th-hour pardons of members of Congress who investigated the January 6 attack are "void, vacant and of no further effect." a post on Truth Social, Trump said that the pardons issued by his predecessor are not valid because they were allegedly signed using an autopen—a device that replicates a person's signature.
Talk about karma!
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has been slapped with a $54,000 penalty for blatantly violating Georgia’s open records laws in her politically motivated prosecution of President Donald Trump.
“The county’s Superior Court Judge Rachel Krause formalized her ruling Friday and ordered Willis to pay $54,264 in attorneys' fees and litigation costs after ‘intentionally’ failing to provide records requested by Ashleigh Merchant, the attorney who filed the motion to disqualify Willis from prosecuting Trump on charges of allegedly interfering with the 2020 presidential election,” reports Fox News Digital.

Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., traded his electric Tesla Model X for a gasoline-powered Chevy Tahoe, citing his criticism of billionaire Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk as the reason for the change.
“When I bought this thing, I didn’t think it was going to become a political issue,” Kelly said in a video on his social media accounts on Friday. “Every time I get in this car in the last 60 days or so, it reminds me of just how much damage Elon Musk and Donald Trump is doing to our country.”
While Chevy makes several electric and hybrid vehicles, Kelly decided to get the Chevy Tahoe, which averages about 21 miles
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) attacked President Donald Trump over the weekend for using the law to deport members of the Venezuelan Tren de Aragua terrorist organization.
Crockett made the remarks after Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport members of the hyper-violent organization on Saturday.
“That gang is obviously associated with a lot of crime, human trafficking, drug dealing theft, shootings, including in your state of Texas, right outside of your congressional district,” Tapper said.
“Do you agree with this?” he asked. “And, if not, what’s your issue with the U.S. using any tool at its disposal to remove undocumented violent people from this country?”
Crockett responded

President Trump revoked Hunter and Ashley Biden’s Secret Service security detail on Monday after the former first son, surrounded by more than a dozen agents, was spotted on an “ultra-luxurious” getaway in South Africa when he was due for a deposition in court.
“Hunter Biden has had Secret Service protection for an extended period of time, all paid for by the United States Taxpayer,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “There are as many as 18 people on this Detail, which is ridiculous!”
“He is currently vacationing in, of all places, South Africa, where the Human Rights of people has been strenuously questioned,”
A legal firm with deep ties to George and Alexander Soros’s network of left-wing nonprofits and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), is partially behind a lawsuit attempting to block President Donald Trump from deporting illegal alien gang members from the United States under the Alien Enemies Act, Breitbart News has learned.
Over the weekend, the Trump administration invoked the Alien Enemies Act to begin deporting illegal alien gang members to El Salvador under a deal with President Nayib Bukele. The agreement allows for the United States to fly foreign gang members to the country to be held in a mega-prison for an annual fee.

The Autopen is a fascinating device. Developed to allow celebrities to mass-produce autographs for hordes of swooning fans, it was never intended to enable a Muppet to serve as president of the United States. But that seems to be exactly what happened. Evidence has been emerging for a week that nearly every document Joe Biden allegedly signed after his first few days in office — every executive order, every pardon, every Congressional bill signed into law, every international treaty, every lifetime judicial nomination (including the nomination of Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson) — was signed with not one, but two Autopens.
The former U.S. soccer star Megan Rapinoe has described President Trump’s ban on women in men’s sports as “cruel and depraved.”
Rapinoe made the remarks during a profile interview with MUNDIAL magazine over Trump’s changes to federal Title IX rules that prohibit biological men from playing in women’s sports.
“Don’t tell me it’s about the rights of women’s sports,” Rapinoe railed. “That is totally disingenuous to say that.”
The 40-year-old went on to claim that Trump biological men competing against women “isn’t an issue,”

The ceasefire between Israel and Hamas is over as Israeli fighter jets began striking the Gaza Strip after Hamas refused repeated hostage deal offers, officials said.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) began striking Hamas terrorist targets across Gaza "in order to achieve the war objectives set by the political leadership, including the release of all our hostages—both the living and the fallen," the office of Defense Minister Israel Katz said in a letter.
"This decision comes after Hamas repeatedly refused to release our hostages and rejected all proposals presented by U.S. President’s envoy, Steve Witkoff, as well as the mediators," the letter states.
