President Donald Trump has denied a New York Times report that his close ally, billionaire Elon Musk, is due to be briefed by the Pentagon about the US military's plan for any war that might break out with China. "China will not even be mentioned or discussed," Trump said in a post about the Pentagon meeting on Truth Social on Thursday. Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth said in a post on X that the meeting would be "about innovation, efficiencies & smarter production". A US official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the briefing for Musk would be attended by senior US military officials in the Pentagon and

A "A US official, speaking on the condition of anonymity," needs to be prosecuted or at least jobless for leaking information, even if false, to the press about anything to do with defense. There are people that will give out accurate information when it is appropriate. Of course, this is a new thing with the Trump administration in office.

If there is any possible lie to be told about Elon Musk, the democrat idiots will run with it. I hope he is compensated for every Tesla that was lost and makes a visit to the deranged lunatics who go to prison for it and laughs at them through the bars.

I'm not suggesting Elon Musk took my advice when I said he should consider suing Jamaal Bowman, but I'm not denying it either. As I wrote on Friday, Bowman launched into a deranged rant against Musk, accusing him of being a "thief" and "nazi." It was so bad that CNN's Abby Philip had to jump in and give a disclaimer at the end, stating that his opinion was his own. BOWMAN: That's not true, and this shows again, the American people do not trust Elon Musk, and Elon Musk is incompetent in his position. And how do we know?

The globalist prime minister of Australia, who has a history of anti-Trump bashing, is now reportedly devastated that Donald Trump cut U.S. funding to Australian universities. Leaving aside the obvious fact that American taxpayers shouldn’t be funding any foreign universities, it is amusing to note how leftist foreign leaders with a track record of sneering at and criticizing Americans are suddenly panicked by the loss of American money, either via grant terminations or tariffs. Apparently we were supposed to be the world‘s wallet endlessly, no matter how much other nations abused and used us.

Columbia University has agreed to cede to Donald Trump's unprecedented demands in negotiations over $400 million in federal funding that the administration revoked earlier this month. Columbia has agreed to "ban masks, empower 36 campus police officers with new powers to arrest students and appoint a senior vice provost with broad authority to oversee the department of Middle East, South Asian and African Studies as well as the Center for Palestine Studies," reports the Wall Street Journal. In addition to the nine Trump's demands that the university had to meet before talks on restoring the $400 million in cuts could begin, the university has agreed to make additional efforts

Liberals are in full-blown panic mode over President Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Democrats in Congress are hysterically crying “constitutional crisis,” while unhinged activists are lashing out at Tesla vehicles and showrooms—all because Elon Musk dares to support cutting government waste. Conservatives have long suspected there’s a deeper reason why the left goes berserk over efforts to rein in reckless spending. Now, the New York Times has accidentally said the quiet part out loud—the left’s political machine is fueled by your tax dollars.

The Trump administration will be revoking the legal status of hundreds of thousands of Latin American and Haitian migrants welcomed into the U.S. under a Biden-era sponsorship process, urging them to self-deport or face arrest and removal by deportation agents. The termination of their work permits and deportation protections under an immigration authority known as parole will take effect in late April, 30 days after March 25, according to a notice posted by the federal government. The move will affect immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela who flew to the U.S. under a Biden administration program, known as CHNV, that was designed to reduce illegal immigration

President Trump is tearing out the infrastructure of the Democrat party and setting off panic in progressive circles. According to a report in the New York Times, Trump's attacks on Democrat funding, fundraising, organizing, and legal organizations are presenting the Democrats with a threat that only Republicans have encountered in the past.

The International Boxing Hall of Famer’s family announced the news on his Instagram page on Friday night. “Our hearts are broken,” the caption read on the post. “With profound sorrow, we announce the passing of our beloved George Edward Foreman Sr. who peacefully departed on March 21, 2025 surrounded by loved ones.

Should we feign surprise? Academia administrators spent most of the past two years surrendering to their own students, or at least the ones that looked scary ... while leaving all the rest to fend for themselves. With that in mind, one has to look skeptically at Politico's claim that "universities are caving to Trump with a stunning speed and scope." They may be caving, but the speed and scope of their pusillanimity hardly seems stunning: Colleges and universities across the country are capitulating to President Donald Trump with staggering speed, moving to slash progressive policies and crack down on student activism as they face compounding threats from an administration hellbent

The constitutional amendment to loosen the so-called debt brake also allows for de-facto unlimited spending on defence and security. The upper house of parliament, which represents the 16 German states, passed the bill with the necessary two-thirds majority after Tuesday's vote in the lower house, the Bundestag.

When asked about politicians skipping town halls, Hostin said, “It’s very un-American, and it’s cowardly. If you are just, you know, stepping in line the way Republicans generally do behind a candidate that is harming the economy, I mean, you need to listen to the people that put you in office. Instead of being so concerned about maintaining power, why not be more concerned with helping people? That’s the thing that I’m so much more concerned about.”

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer admitted on PBS this week that Democrats intentionally stacked the courts with 235 “progressive judges” in order to stop President Donald Trump “time after time after time.” Since President Trump triumphantly returned to the White House on January 20, 2025, his administration has faced an all-out legal assault — not from Congress or the will of the American people — but from a weaponized judicial branch hijacked by radical leftists. In just under two months, President Trump has been hit with 132 legal challenges, with only two resolved. And now, Chuck Schumer has admitted it all on national television.
