That’s it, Big Bird — time for you,
and PBS, to get off the Washington gravy train

Big Bird deserves to lose this time. In the past, whenever Republicans have tried to cut federal funding for public broadcasting, the eight-foot-two-inch-tall yellow bird has been trotted out as an exemplar of all that is good and necessary about PBS, and the federal dollars have been preserved. (snip) a Trump-backed recissions bill represents the best chance to defund public broadcasting in decades, if not ever. The bill, clawing back previously appropriated funding, has already passed the House and is now being considered in the Senate, where the filibuster doesn’t apply. The measure targets $9.4 billion in federal spending, including funds for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

Good job here by John Thune. Let President Trump work on the Russia-Ukraine problem and await his request for more legislative tools. A refreshing change in the Senate leadership approach. WASHINGTON DC – Senate Majority Leader John Thune said Monday he would hold off on advancing a closely watched package of sanctions targeting Russia’s trading partners after President Donald Trump said he was prepared to act himself later this summer if Russian President Vladimir Putin doesn’t move toward a peace deal with Ukraine. (snip) Let Trump be Trump. He’s trying to stop this U.S/NATO proxy war, by cutting the Gordian knot in Ukraine.

Many people surmise the Trump administration is unaware of the ongoing MAGA backlash to the DOJ and FBI position on matter of Jeffrey Epstein. For a significant -albeit unknown- portion of President Trump’s support base, the case against Jeffrey Epstein was/is a strong part of how they positioned their MAGA support. That coalition is now furious and threatening to withdraw support for President Trump on all other policy areas. Attorney General Pam Bondi, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, FBI Director Kash Patel and Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino are all telling the same story. There is trouble afoot.

June 1 marked the 100th anniversary of Pierce v. Society of Sisters. This landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision struck down an Oregon law that prohibited parents from educating their children in private and religious schools and required public school attendance. Justice James McReynolds wrote, “The child is not the mere creature of the state,” which summed up the majority opinion in the decision. A century later, however, the battle continues. On June 27, SCOTUS ruled 6–3 that Maryland parents who have religious objections can pull their children from public school lessons using “LGBTQ+ inclusive” storybooks. The Mahmoud v. Taylor decision maintains that parents have a fundamental right to direct
Ignore the Democrats’ Immigration Sanctimony:
Follow the Votes and Money

. That Democrats cloak their prioritization of party over country in sanctimonious hypocrisy only salts the wound of a public clamoring for sane and safe immigration policies. What then drives the Democrats’ venal support of open borders and sanctuary states and cities? It is not principle but power: behind the vainglorious virtue-signaling are the sordid motives of votes and money, both of which are based on population figures found in the census. The vote motive has been well discussed, if not resolved.
Trump Admin Ends Taxpayer Subsidies For
Illegal Alien

The departments of Health and Human Services (HHS), Education, Agriculture, Labor, and Justice are ending illegal aliens’ abilities to leech off the American taxpayer by taking advantage of federal programs. The departments announced on Thursday that illegals will no longer be able to access the government programs, as they have been able to do since the Clinton administration. The Trump administration made the move to “ensure that taxpayer-funded program benefits intended for the American people are not diverted to subsidize illegal aliens,” HHS said in its announcement.

Furious that Trump is finally getting around to keeping his wildly popular promises on immigration, The New York Times has decided to take out its frustration on his wunderkind adviser, Stephen Miller. Before I describe the opening of the hit piece, let’s review some relevant polls. Since Trump’s election, Americans have consistently, overwhelmingly told pollsters that they want mass deportation of all illegals. An Axios poll in January, for example, showed an astonishing 66% in favor. Even at the mendacious Times, a poll that same month put it at 55%. (With the NYT wind chill factor, that makes it 63%.)

Everyone can see the play by President Trump. Essentially, the “coalition of the willing” (U.K, Germany, France) are not willing to go to war against Russia without the United States in front of them. Giving the coalition the weapons puts the consequences of their use on the heads of NATO allies. Despite the majority of Washington DC, (snip)thirsting, pleading and demanding an expanded NATO war, President Trump does not want to go to war against Russia.(snip)has to try and steer the war machine controlled by DC, the Senate, USIC and NATO.

Joe Biden’s White House doctor refused to answer a single question during a congressional interview on Wednesday, raising more concerns about efforts to conceal the former president’s decline while in office. According to House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., Biden physician Kevin O’Connor pled the Fifth at his previously scheduled deposition with House lawmakers. The revelation came a day after the Trump administration waived executive privilege for O’Connor to sit down with members of the committee for the transcribed interview.

What has two feet, betrays conservatives, and becomes more useless by the day? If you answered, “Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C.,” you’re correct. Days after announcing that he would not be seeking reelection next year, North Carolina’s senior senator did what any “principled” Republican would do: He went running to do an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper. The same Jake Tapper, mind you, who infamously pushed the Russia collusion hoax, the Brett Kavanaugh rape hoax, the Charlottesville “fine people” hoax, and leftist lawfare — and who also spent the past few months downplaying his role in helping cover up Joe Biden’s mental decline.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on the sidelines of a meeting of foreign ministers from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in Kuala Lumpur today. Against the backdrop of multiple questions to him about the outcome of their discussion, let us first discuss the problem being avoided.In the mind of President Putin, and in the growing awareness of the American electorate, the President of the United States does not control the Intelligence Community. It is entirely possible for the USIC to take America deeper toward war despite the President and people of America not wanting that to happen. Putin is simply

The background of the insufferable case is HERE and HERE. Today, the second circuit court of appeals finally overturns one of the most ridiculous Obama/Biden dystopian lawfare cases against the first amendment. Defendant Douglass Mackey wins his appeal and the case is dismissed [RULING HERE] )Image)The ridiculous case was against Douglass Mackey, aka Twitter user Ricky Vaughn, who posted a silly meme against Hillary Clinton in 2016. The Biden DOJ prosecuted Mackey saying he was part of a conspiracy to rob Clinton of the election, by posting memes of disinformation around the election. Mackey was tried and convicted in New York; however, finally an appeals court looked at the stupidity
