Posted By: Mercedes44, 5/22/2026 7:27:41 AM
The president issued his call from his Truth Social account on Thursday. “Big Vote today (48-1!) in the Energy and Commerce Committee on a Bill including The Sunshine Protection Act, which will be making Daylight Saving Time Permanent! This is so important in that Hundreds of Millions of Dollars are spent every year by people, Cities, and States, being forced to change their Clocks,” he wrote. “Many of these Clocks are located in Towers, and the cost of renting, or using, Heavy Equipment to do this twice a year is prohibitive! The House will be attaching The Sunshine Protection Act to ‘The Highway Bill,'”

There’s been a very strange story that was printed not long ago by the liberal opinion journalist Nicholas Kristof. Now, apparently, he’s been retired. He’s written for decades at The New York Times.
He’s sort of a social activist. He does some good things sometimes, but he tries to draw attention of The New York Times readership to supposed crises of morality all over the globe, such as the so-called genocide. And it depends on who you talk to. In Darfur, he visited it very many times. But he’s had a checkered career.

The president issued his call from his Truth Social account on Thursday.

Jeff Bezos praised President Donald Trump and hyped up AI during a Wednesday interview. “Trump has lots of good ideas, and he’s been right about a lot of things. You have to give him credit where credit is due,” the Amazon founder said.
I think he is a more mature, more disciplined version of himself than he was in his first term,” Bezos said of President Trump during an interview with CNBC’s Squawk Box co-host Andrew Ross Sorkin. Trump has lots of good ideas, and he’s been right about a lot of things. You have to give him credit where credit is due,” the Amazon founder continued.
Castro Communists Seized the Docks, but

Now SCOTUS Opens Door to Making the Cruise
Lines Pay 1 reply
A Supreme Court ruling handed down on Thursday may end up being worth hundreds of millions of dollars for the Havana Docks Corp.
In 1960, after the Cuban Revolution, Fidel Castro’s regime simply took the company’s facilities and made them its own. That’s communism for you, folks. Like democratic socialists Zohran Mamdani and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, they may have big smiles, but in the end, they want to take your stuff. Decades later, the overlords decided to let major cruise lines use the docks, but those cruise lines never paid a dime to the rightful owners.
The SCOTUS ruling could change that:

History Museum Bill after ‘Biological
Women’ Language Added 8 replies
House Democrats joined six Republicans on Thursday to derail legislation advancing the long-delayed Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum after Republicans added language clarifying that the museum would focus on biological women.
The bill failed in a 216-204 vote, despite years of bipartisan support for the project. The legislation had been spearheaded by Rep. Nicole Malliotakis.
The collapse came after Republicans amended the proposal to specify that the museum would be dedicated to “preserving, researching, and presenting the history, achievements, and lived experiences of biological women in the United States.” The revised legislation also prohibited the museum from portraying “any biological male as a female.”
Virginia’s new Democrat Governor Abigail Spanberger has just announced that she is signing an executive order to keep ICE agents away from polling places.
Why do you suppose such a thing would be necessary?
Democrats assure us that illegal aliens are not voting because they are forbidden from doing so by law. So why would they be worried about ICE showing up at polling places? It just doesn’t make any sense. Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger said Tuesday that she plans to issue an executive order on Wednesday to help election workers respond if federal agents show up at polling sites in Virginia.
Folks, I think we've officially reached the tipping point when it comes to the fall of communist Cuba. If anyone else was president, I wouldn't buy it myself, but Donald Trump is, and I do. Ironically, it happened on May 20, when the country should be celebrating its independence, but it's a day that the regime refuses to acknowledge.
"Today marks the beginning of the end for the Castro family," Rep. María Salazar said, following the big news on Wednesday.
In case you missed it, that big news was the Department of Justice (DOJ) announcing that it was charging Raúl Castro with conspiracy to kill U.S.—
President Donald Trump spoke at the Congressional Picnic on the White House South Lawn and made a point that normal folks understood straight away.
He listed better economic signs, including factory construction, housing starts, and consumer spending, then added, “We have an economy; people aren't seeing it yet.” His critics treated that line like a confession. A plainer reading points elsewhere: Trump was taking a shot at a media class that wouldn't recognize good economic news if it landed on the South Lawn with a brass band wearing bowl cuts. From The Daily Beast:
The distinguished political scientist Graham Allison, author of the 2015 Atlantic article “The Thucydides Trap,” argued that often in history an established power will stage a preventive war against an ascendant adversary—for fear that otherwise it will soon lose its primacy.
His title derives from two passages in the first book of the ancient Greek historian Thucydides (460–400/395? BC), author of The Peloponnesian War.
Thucydides, on these two occasions, felt that the most likely cause of the Spartan-Athenian war (431–404) was Spartan fear of an increasingly powerful rival Athenian empire.
President Donald Trump on Wednesday demanded that Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough be fired, arguing that over the years, her rulings have been “brutal” to Republicans.
The parliamentarian serves at the pleasure of the Senate Majority Leader, who can instruct the Senate Secretary to dismiss the official at any time.
Trump expressed frustration in a post on Truth Social that Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) has refused to take this step, raging that the “Dumocrats cheat, lie, and steal, especially when it comes to Votes in Elections, but stick together, whereas the Republicans allow the Elizabeth MacDonoughs of the World to stay in power, and brutalize us.”
The Department of Justice on Wednesday announced murder charges against former Cuban President and longtime Defense Minister Raúl Castro, 94.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche stated during a press conference in Miami on Wednesday that a federal grand jury charged Castro and five co-defendants with conspiracy to kill U.S. nationals, destruction of aircraft, and four counts of murder, in connection with a 1996 incident where Cuban jets shot down humanitarian flights of the Cuban exile group Brothers to the Rescue.
Elected officials in Florida’s Cuban American communities on Wednesday praised the Justice department and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

House Judiciary Republicans confirmed Wednesday night that Southern Poverty Law Center CEO Bryan Fair will testify in front of the committee next month regarding allegations it funded elements of extremist and racist groups.
For decades, the SPLC has positioned itself as the nation’s preeminent watchdog, which maintained a controversial "Hate Map" that increasingly labeled benign conservative organizations and religious groups as hate groups.
But a recent federal indictment returned by a grand jury suggests the organization was playing a double game by allegedly manufacturing the very extremism it claimed to be fighting to keep its fundraising machine humming.

Israel has created a list of all Palestinians who took part in the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led attacks and is working to kill or arrest each one, The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday, citing current and former Israeli officials with knowledge of the matter.
According to the report, the list includes all Gazans who were identified as having crossed the border on October 7, as well as all Hamas leaders involved in orchestrating the massacre, during which some 1,200 people were killed and 251 taken hostage, mostly civilians, in the deadliest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust.
Seattle’s lefty Mayor Katie Wilson admitted she was wrong to slam Starbucks and push for a boycott of the mega-coffee chain birthed in the Pacific City.
Wilson, 43, issued a terse mea culpa to the New York Times this week as questions swirl about whether the liberal Northwest city can attract and retain businesses, including Starbucks, which recently chose to expand its footprint in Tennessee.
The democratic socialist made waves last fall when she joined a barista union rally as mayor-elect and expressed her disgust with one of Seattle’s most recognizable businesses.

Caroline Wren: Over the last 72 hours, like these, the only people that were lobbying for a Cornyn endorsement were other GOP senators. And in the last 72 hours, the GOP senators had come out against President Trump on several things.

** We’re not going to nuke the filibuster
** We’re not going to fund (security) for your ballroom
** The weaponization fund’s a bad idea
