Welcome to the Real World, Former Food Stampers

The Schumer Shutdown is doing more than showing us government waste; it's showing us the corruption of American culture. What we've known was behind the curtain the whole time is now on full display for all to see. I wrote earlier this week about local spots stepping up to care for their neighbors in need, and the comments are fantastic. One of the lines that seemed to resonate with readers was "Little Sally loves popsicles! It's simple: pour orange juice into a paper cup, put a stick in the cup, put the cup in the freezer, wait two hours."

About 28 people – including eight members and associates of MS-13 – have been charged on a variety of charges involving trafficking in fentanyl, methamphetamine, and cocaine, carjacking, assault on law enforcement, use of firearms during the commission of a violent crime, unlawful possession of firearms, and immigration offenses, announced Acting United States Attorney Robert E. McGuire for the Middle District of Tennessee.
These prosecutions are part of the Homeland Security Task Force initiative established by Executive Order 14159, Protecting the American People Against Invasion.

Until the time that Barack Obama took office, I had a reasonable amount of faith in the U.S. federal government. I knew that those on the Left in positions of leadership, as well as some on the Right, often concocted narratives for their own ends. The mainstream media decidedly leaned Left, and shaded every story, feature, event, and happening in the U.S. and around the world to their own point of view. Still, it was easy enough to get past what they were claiming.
Maybe Some Good Could Result
With the ascension of Barack Obama and his subsequent election as POTUS, I thought, okay, I’d never vote for him,
A federal judge has permanently blocked President Donald Trump from deploying the National Guard to Portland.
U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut issued the 106-page ruling on Friday for the lawsuit filed after Trump sent troops to secure U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities.
The state of Oregon, the city of Portland, and the state of California sued Trump, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, and Defense Secretary Kristi Noem. [Tweets]
The ruling said that there wasn't enough violence at the protests to require the National Guard, and local police broke up the fights.
I can’t change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.

It’s time to adjust our sails. On the heels of Tuesday’s electoral victories, the Democrats are motivated and energized: In their estimation, the so-called “Schumer Shutdown” is working marvelously, because the American people are blaming the Republicans.
And the Democrats are reaping the political benefits.
That’s because voters know that the White House, Senate, and House are all under GOP control, but they don’t really understand the nuances of parliamentary procedure. (Yawn: boring!) Instead of focusing on the 60-man threshold necessary to overcome a Democratic filibuster, they’re focusing on leadership:
The left always cares more about narrative than the truth. A split-second image can fuel outrage, (Snip) Yet behind the noise lay a moment that said more about leadership than any carefully crafted address could.
That moment came during a White House event on Thursday focused on expanding access to obesity treatments. In the middle of the ceremony, a guest suddenly collapsed in the Oval Office as President Trump spoke about making life-saving weight-loss medications more affordable and accessible for Americans struggling with obesity. White House medical staff rushed to assist, and after prompt on-site care, the man is reportedly in stable condition.
The Supreme Court's decision to allow the administration to pay only partial SNAP benefits during the shutdown gives Donald Trump and the Republicans in Congress a clear road to victory in the shutdown fight now entering its 39th day.
SCOTUS recognized that this is not a separation of powers constitutional issue. It's a political issue, and the Supreme Court tends to avoid intervening in political disputes. The ball is now firmly in the hands of the Democrats, who have gotten themselves into a no-win situation.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer tried a delay gambit, offering to reopen the government
As our editor Bob Hoge so ably reported, a woman named Tish Hyman went on a profanity-laced rant at Gold's Gym after she was subjected to a beans and sausage display in the women's restroom, just as she stepped out of the shower, soaking wet and naked. Of course, the person in question, Alexis Black, claims to be transitioning; (Snip) And with media attention comes media scrutiny. In a New York Post exclusive, the publication discovered that before Alexis Black transitioned, Kyle Grant Freeman assaulted his then-wife, ironically also named "Alexis," and fractured her jaw. The real Alexis required surgery to repair the damage.

Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) had a savage response to his fellow Democrat leader, Sen. Chuck Schumer (NY), offering to reopen the government, and said it involves needing "bail money" if God were to give him strength rather than patience after hearing it.
On Friday, Schumer announced his proposal, in which he said that he and his Democrat colleagues would agree to reopen the government if, and only if, the Republicans extended COVID-19-era Obama-care subsidies for another year, and then they could sit down to negotiate with the GOP to deal with healthcare costs.

The Democrats’ Schumer Shutdown and their continuing refusal to fund the government isn’t the only big story coming out of Washington, D.C. Friday evening – Fox News Digital is reporting that a federal grand jury out of the Southern District of Florida has served subpoenas on notorious former FBI agent Peter Strzok and his onetime paramour, former FBI lawyer Lisa Page.
A total of up to 30 subpoenas are expected to be handed down on numerous individuals involved with the fake Russia collusion investigations into Donald Trump in the Crossfire Hurricane operation.

There it was this morning, plain as day. It was a screenshot of a woman going off about how her food stamps were cut off, the $1,000 per month she and her family supposedly get from the government, juxtaposed against her being called out by someone else for hair extensions, expensive trips to the nail salon, and tattoos. In short, she wastes money on unnecessary things and then demands money from the government to support herself.
She's squandering money on luxuries while relying on the taxpayers to fund her groceries for anywhere between four and seven people in her household.
And worse, there's no sense of shame among many of these people.
Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, announced on Thursday that the United States military has conducted its 17th strike on a suspect narco terrorist vessel traveling on the Caribbean Sea. The strike killed three people, and as usual, no U.S. forces were harmed.
The total number of narco terrorists from South America killed in the strikes is now up to 69.
As we’ve said before, vessel strikes on narco-terrorists will continue until their the poisoning of the American people stops. Today, at the direction of President Trump, the Department of War carried out a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization.
The White House has asked a federal appeals court to issue an emergency block, after a federal judge ruled on Thursday that the administration would have to pay full Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) payments in full amid the longest government shutdown in United States history.
Judge Jack McConnell of the U.S. District Court in Rhode Island rejected the Trump administration’s request to pay only 65 percent of SNAP benefits this month. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has a $5 billion contingency fund for emergencies like the Schumer Shutdown, but that amount falls short of the $8.5 to $9 billion needed to fully fund monthly SNAP payments.

Former President Joe Biden, wearing a seemingly fresh bandage on his head, told Nebraska Democrats Friday that his late son should have been elected commander-in-chief in 2020, not himself, in a speech ripping President Trump.

KAMPALA - When Zohran Mamdani inveighed against inequality and corruption during his underdog bid for New York City mayor, Joseph Beyanga at Uganda's Daily Monitor could hear echoes of conversations almost 20 years earlier with the then-intern on the newspaper's sports desk. "Mamdani would sit with me in the production room. He would always ask me, so who is affected by this one? Who pays the price?" Beyanga, the Daily Monitor's media manager, told Reuters. (Snip) The son of a Ugandan academic of Indian origins and an Indian-American filmmaker, Mamdani was born and spent several years as a child in Uganda's
What’s happening in New York right now has a lot of Americans on edge, and rightfully so. A massive group of Muslims gathered and publicly claimed the city for Islam. People who watched it unfold aren’t being “bigots” for feeling uneasy. They’re watching their country’s biggest city slip further from the culture that built it, just days after electing a Marxist mayor. As Scott Jennings says, good luck, New York… A mayor who believes criminals are the “real victims” and police are the oppressors. This issue is about assimilation, or the lack of it. New York City doesn’t belong to any Muslims, and stunts like this don’t create

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel's wife, television writer Molly McNearney, revealed that she has lost relationships with some of her Trump-voting family members on the "We Can Do Hard Things" podcast on Thursday. Following her husband's spat with President Donald Trump over his show being temporarily suspended in September, McNearney told the podcast hosts that she felt betrayed after some of her family members voted for the current president.

Germany's grand “Muslim Miracle” was supposed to save the country’s future. Instead, it broke it into a million pieces. About ten years ago, German leaders sold their citizens on a utopian plan: import millions of young Muslims to flood the workforce, rescue a collapsing pension system, and secure the nation’s prosperity for generations. The theory sounded far-fetched and absurd, but Germans bought into it. However, the reality was a total disaster. Fast-forward to today, and Germany is now raising its retirement age to 70. The German people were lied to. The plan to rebuild the workforce through mass immigration didn’t just fail; it cratered. It didn’t revive the economy

An NYPD exodus is already underway, with a surge of officers quitting in the month leading up to anti-cop socialist Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral win — and more might go if Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch exits, according to data and department sources.
The NYPD saw a 35% hike in cops of all ranks leaving in October – 245 police officers compared to 181 in the same month last year, according to Police Pension Fund data.
“Morale is down because everyone is concerned about the policies Mamdani wants to put in place,” said Detectives Endowment Association President Scott Munro.
Ford is considering scrapping the electric version of its F-150 pickup — once billed as the future of American trucks — after racking up billions in losses and watching demand collapse.
Executives are in active talks about axing the money-losing F-150 Lightning altogether, sources told the Wall Street Journal, in what could become the first major casualty of America’s faltering electric vehicle revolution.
The Lightning, launched with fanfare in 2021 and hailed by CEO Jim Farley as a ‘smartphone that can tow,’ was supposed to mark a new era for Ford. President Joe Biden even took one for a spin, calling it ‘quick as hell.’
But the hype faded fast.
With the federal shutdown into its second month, left-wing corporate media have invested no little energy in bemoaning the effect of the now unprecedentedly long shutdown on more than 670,000 furloughed federal employees, and the more than 730,000 others working without pay.
CNN last month reported on struggling federal workers whose emergency funds had evaporated, while the Associated Press reported: “Federal workers endure financial strain and fear layoffs as the government shutdown drags on.” An Oct. 27 commentary on MSNBC blamed President Trump and House Republicans for “abandoning federal workers who have now missed two paychecks.”

Who would have thunk it? Marjorie Taylor Greene, Morning Joe's favorite Republican member of Congress! But with her recent moves to distance herself from President Trump and the GOP at large, MTG is winning Morning Joe hearts and minds. The latest came today. After the show aired Trump's pointed criticism of Nancy Pelosi in reaction to her announcement that she would not be seeking re-election, and Speaker Mike Johnson's less critical but not flattering comments, the show aired MTG saying: "I will praise Nancy Pelosi. She had an incredible career for her party. I served under her speakership in my first term
