EXCLUSIVE: Biden Admin ‘Intentionally Buried’ Inconvenient Study To Justify Major Energy Crackdown, Sources Say– dailycaller.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

The Biden administration deliberately buried a final draft version of a study that would have undermined its January 2024 decision to pause approvals for liquefied natural gas (LNG) export projects, according to four Department of Energy (DOE) sources.

Former Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm and former President Joe Biden announced the LNG freeze in January 2024, stating that it would remain in place until the DOE could conduct a fresh study of the climate and economic impacts of LNG export growth. The Biden DOE finalized a draft of the study in 2023 and subsequently buried it because the initial version’s findings would have contradicted the administration’s rationale for the LNG freeze, according to four sources inside the Trump DOE granted anonymity by the Daily Caller News Foundation to freely discuss a sensitive matter.

Excerpt:

The Equal Protection Project (EqualProtect.org) has filed over 60 Civil Rights Complaints covering hundreds of university scholarships and programs. The enormous impact our efforts have had contributed — we believe — to changing the culture surrounding DEI discrimination enabling the political change we are now seeing.

On March 13, 2025, the U.S. Department of Education announced in a DoEd press release that investigations into six cases involving discriminatory scholarships had been opened. It turned out that three of the six were EPP cases (our cases highlighted)

The schools under investigation for alleged impermissible race-based scholarships and race-based segregation are:

  • Grand Valley State University
  • Ithaca College  
  • New England College of Optometry
  • University of Alabama
  • University of Minnesota, Twin Cities 
  • University of South Florida

What, Are You Going to Cry? Kinzinger Puffs Up His Little Chest, Mad That Trump Declared Pardons ‘Void’ – RedState– redstate.com

Excerpt:

Former congressman Adam Kinzinger continued his quest to become the saddest man in the new Trump era, posting a video from his car responding to the President declaring pardons for the J6 Committee “void.”

Trump on Monday suggested any move by President Joe Biden to preemptively pardon the House Select Committee behind the investigation of the January 6th protest at the Capitol was non-binding following reports that they were executed via autopen.

Kinzinger then climbed into his vehicle and recorded a rant that would make Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) blush from how weak and embarrassing it was.

“So I just saw that Trump is, like, threatening the January 6 committee again,” he said in a video posted to X. “Listen. This dude knows. He knows that this is, like, the thing that embarrasses him. He won’t admit it embarrasses him, because he’s trying to, like, pretend like he didn’t do anything.”

You can’t act and talk like the cock of the walk when your party’s approval rating is absolute trash. The Democratic Party is perpetually stuck in a 2008 mindset and engulfed in nostalgia, back when they knew how to win elections and, most importantly, could reach a wide range of voters. That ability has completely atrophied, with the Democrats’ brand severely damaged due to their defending the indefensible across an array of public policy issues. The party has reached historic lows, and they don’t have an answer.

The Winning Continues: Trump’s Latest Order Dismantles 8 Federal Agencies– lidblog.com

Excerpt:

 

President Donald Trump’s latest orders are set to dismantle eight federal agencies. Even more winning from Washington D.C.!

The Trump orders are looking to put an end to the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, United States Agency for Global Media, Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, Institute of Museum and Library Services, United States Interagency Council on Homelessness, Community Development Financial Institutions Fund, and the Minority Business Development Agency.

All of these agencies, Trump says, are expensive and “unnecessary,” according to the Epoch Times.

The orders direct these federal agencies to shut down non-legally required functions, fire staff, and reduce the department to the minimum required currently by law.

The orders also give agency heads seven days to comply with the president’s orders.

We’re going a bit inside the beltway here, but it was reported that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard hired an Israel critic. The supposed hire who was pulled after his past opinions about the Jewish State were revealed is named Daniel Davis, but there’s a serious problem with the story: it’s not true. Alexa Henning, Gabbard’s deputy chief of staff, said this was fake news, but Politico, likely looking for revenge for losing its USAID sugar daddy, pushed on with the story anyway:

Washington State Democrats Want People Who Don’t Live There to Vote– lidblog.com

Excerpt:

 

The destructive, anti-American Democrats in Washington State hate democracy and the American system so much that they want to allow people who don’t even live in the state to vote there.

This is how far gone Democrats are.

According to Bill Bruch:

WA State Democrats (aka “The Anyone From Anywhere Can Vote Party”) sponsored bill SSB 5017: AN ACT Relating to adopting national standards for uniformed and overseas civilian voting, including conforming amendments to existing statute – Creates very troubling new state rules pertaining to the Uniform Military and Overseas Voter Act (UMOVA) and the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA).

As currently written, the bill would allow people born outside the U.S. who have NEVER EVEN SET FOOT OR LIVED in WA State (aka “Permanent Overseas Voters”) to vote in local elections – e.g., County Council, Commissioners, City Council, Mayors, School Boards, levies, being able to raise taxes on the locals, etc.

Yes, according to the bill, as long as these “voters”:

  • Are over 18 and a United States citizen
  • Have a “family member” who is (or was) eligible to vote in Washington and
  • Have not registered to vote in another state

They are allowed to vote in our LOCAL ELECTIONS. What could go wrong?

Deported Ivy League Professor Attended Funeral Of Terrorist Leader– trendingpoliticsnews.com

Rasha Alawieh, a physician who specializes in kidney transplants, was detained at Boston Logan International Airport on Thursday after returning from a trip to Lebanon. Alawiehm 34, was questioned by U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents and stated that she had attended the funeral of Hassan Nasrallah, the longtime leader of Hezbollah who was killed in an Israeli airstrike this past September.

Alawieh allegedly stated she supported Nasrallah “from a religious perspective,” though she claimed not to support his politics, according to a report from Politico. Federal authorities also conducted a a search of Alawieh’s phone and found “sympathetic photos and videos” of Hezbollah leaders, as well as materials showing “various other Hezbollah militants” in a deleted folder.

Trump’s European Reset Is Reclaiming America’s Leadership– americanactionnews.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

President Donald Trump is letting the world know that the days of American foreign policy malaise are over. European leaders, the left-wing propagandists are predictably aghast. There are clear echoes, however, of both former Presidents Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan in this new era of American foreign policy. It’s a resonance that should be reassuring for Americans.

European leaders can sit at hastily-arranged dinners and hold their multilateral confabs all they want, but they can’t escape history. Europe has been fractured by culture, language and ancient animosities that have kept the region in some stage of conflict for centuries. In the last century, European conflicts ignited two world wars that were the deadliest in human history.

Today, European leaders have allowed their nations to be overrun with refugees from the Middle East, bowed to the climate mob at the expense of their competitiveness and most relevant to the present Ukrainian situation, allowed Russia to continue its energy blackmail of the continent. They just backed a Gaza reconstruction plan that was developed without Israel and backs the Palestinian Authority.

What Trump is doing is asserting U.S. leadership after years of American retreat. During the Obama and Biden administrations — 12 of the last 16 years of U.S. foreign policy — a principal tenet of the Left’s ‘lead from behind’ strategy was to allow the European Union and the fragmented powers of NATO to assert greater control over the strategic direction of the Western alliance. During that time, the world has undoubtedly become more dangerous and less secure.

Mr. Trump’s more forceful approach to Europe may be causing palpitations in the press and on social media, but in reality, is backed by strong precedent.

Democrats’ false fear mongering over education– www.washingtonexaminer.com

Excerpt:

To paraphrase Ronald Reagan’s famous line from his 1980 debate with Jimmy Carter, here they go again. To oppose President Donald Trump’s dismantling of the U.S. Department of Education, the Democrats and their media allies are trotting out the same playbook they used forty-three years ago to thwart Reagan.

In 1980, Reagan campaigned on dismantling the Department of Education, where I worked from 1982-83 in the Office of Legislation and Public Affairs. Our office would have spearheaded the congressional push to pass a law abolishing the department and was staffed with Reagan loyalists like me ready to take on the task. Almost immediately, the National Education Association and prominent Democrats began attacking the idea using emotional appeals designed to scare parents and fan opposition in Congress.

Last week I had a strong sense of déjà vu when watching the CBS Evening News broadcast. Chief White House correspondent Nancy Cordes’s segment featured a distraught parent fearful that her disabled daughter’s education would be disrupted by Trump’s plan. The seventh-grade girl, Hope Katz-Zogby, has Downs Syndrome. Under a law first passed in 1975, three years before the Department of Education was established by President Carter to fulfill a campaign promise to the NEA, Hope is entitled to an individualized education plan so that she can fulfill her full potential in public school.

White House Official’s Quick Move Thwarts Obama-Appointed Judge’s Attempt to Halt Deportation of Illegal Gangsters– www.westernjournal.com

Excerpt:

Almost no one, including those who staff President Donald Trump’s administration, seems to understand the core issue.

Of course, that could amount to a misconception on my part. Perhaps Trump’s staffers do understand it and have simply chosen to fight on grounds of optics and expedience. If so, then one could understand the strategy, but it still reflects the shockingly farcical nature of our so-called “republic.”

According to Axios, two senior Trump administration officials have confirmed that a small group of individuals led by White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and Homeland Security Secretary Kristy Noem ensured the successful deportation of approximately 250 Venezuelan gang members by taking swift action before U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, appointed by former President Barack Obama, could make a presumptuous and outrageous attempt to halt said deportations.

On Friday night, Trump quietly signed an executive order invoking the 1798 Alien Enemies Act.

Waltz: All options ‘on the table’ to ensure Iran does not have a nuclear weapon– thehill.com

National security adviser Mike Waltz said on Sunday that all options are “on the table” to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.

In an interview on ABC News’s “This Week,” anchor Martha Raddatz asked the president’s top adviser to elaborate on President Trump’s warning to Iran a week ago that they would not be allowed to have a nuclear weapon and that something would happen very soon “that will solve the problem if there is no peace deal,” Raddatz said, referring to nuclear weapons.

“So, what is he talking about? Is he talking about a possible strike on the nuclear facilities by Israel, and would the U.S. join in that?” Raddatz asked.

“Well, what the president has… repeatedly said is that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon,” Waltz said.

“All options are on the table to ensure it does not have one. And that’s all aspects of Iran’s program. That’s the missiles, the weaponization, the enrichment. They can either hand it over and give it up in a way that is verifiable, or they can face a whole series of other consequences,” he continued.

Trump admin ordered to explain deporting Brown University doctor– www.washingtonexaminer.com

Excerpt:

A professor with a valid visa has been deported from the United States under the Trump administration despite a court order stopping the administration from doing so.

Dr. Rasha Alawieh, 34, is a Lebanese citizen, kidney transplant specialist, and professor at Brown University’s medical school, who traveled to Lebanon last month to visit family. Upon returning to the U.S., she was detained, denied entry, and flown out of the country.

Judge Leo T. Sorokin from the Federal District Court in Massachusetts ordered the government on Friday to provide the court with 48 hours’ notice before deporting Alawieh. Still, she was put on a flight to Paris, which is believed to be a stop on her way to Lebanon.

In a second order filed on Sunday morning, Sorokin said there was reason to believe U.S. Customs and Border Protection had willfully disobeyed his order to give the court notice before deporting Alawieh. The judge said he had followed “common practice in this district as it has been for years.”

“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,’” Glucksmann said, per a Saturday report from Politico.

“We gave it to you as a gift, but apparently you despise it. So it will be just fine here at home,” he added.

A black employee reported their supervisor, who is also black, to the University of Maryland’s bias team for telling them to “tone it down,” according to bias reports recently obtained by The College Fix.

The incident is one of the nearly 30 reports obtained by The Fix from the public university relating to accusations of bias on the basis of race or color. Several incidents of racial slurs were reported multiple times.

The university originally provided only a brief summary of the incident, devoid of any meaningful details. It also stripped any reference to the sex of the person being targeted the complaint. “Staff reported that their supervisor emailed them racist and derogatory statements,” the public report originally stated.

Trump Is Right To Push Back Against Judicial Supremacy– thefederalist.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

Did President Trump ignore an order from U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg in Washington, D.C., to halt the deportation of hundreds of alleged terrorists and gang members this weekend? No.

Would it have been constitutional if he had? Yes.

For too long, we have accepted without question the fallacious notion that the federal judiciary has the exclusive power of constitutional interpretation, and that the states and the other branches of the federal government are bound to accept whatever the courts decide. This myth of “judicial supremacy” has thrown the constitutional system devised by our Founders out of balance, and it needs to be rejected.

The current case, which concerns whether a federal judge can prevent the removal of foreigners whom the Executive Branch has determined are part of a terrorist organization, is the perfect opportunity to reassert the Founders’ view of the power of constitutional interpretation — a view that was shared, and acted upon, by presidents Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln. It now seems the Trump administration is reviving this long-lost view, and it’s about time.

New Wyoming law bans DEI in state’s public colleges– www.thecollegefix.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

Bill faces criticism for ‘censorship’

Wyoming Republican Gov. Mark Gordon signed a bill this month prohibiting the state’s public colleges from engaging in “any diversity, equity or inclusion program, activity or policy.”

DEI “means any program, activity or policy that promotes differential or preferential treatment of individuals or classifies individuals on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, ethnicity or national origin,” House Bill 147 states.

The bill also bans “institutional discrimination,” which it defines as a policy or practice that asserts the superiority or inferiority of individuals based on “race, color, religion, sex, ethnicity, or national origin.” Public colleges cannot engage in practices that discriminate, assign blame, or require guilt acknowledgment based on these characteristics, the bill states.

Additionally, Wyoming’s community colleges and the University of Wyoming, the state’s only public university, are prohibited from promoting the idea that meritocracy or traits such as a strong work ethic are inherently racist or sexist.

Major Automaker Recalls Nearly 100K Vehicles Over Serious Potential Malfunction: ‘Increased Risk Of A Crash’– wltreport.com

Excerpt:

One of the “Big Three” U.S. automakers has just become the latest to announce a major recall due to a possibly dangerous issue.

This time, General Motors is warning drivers of more than 90,000 vehicles that they need to address a potential transmission malfunction.

As Fox Business reported:

The automaker said in a recall report submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that the transmission control valve inside some 2020-2021 Cadillac CT4, 2020-2021 Cadillac CT5, 2019-2020 Cadillac CT6 and 2020-2022 Chevrolet Camaro vehicles featuring a 10-speed transmission could suffer “excess wear” over time that could result in “harsh shifting” and a “momentary” lock up of the wheels in “rare cases.”

A brief lock-up of the wheels while the recalled vehicles are in motion could pose an “increased risk of a crash,” according to the NHTSA recall report.

“This recall only involves vehicles equipped with the 10-speed transmission,” the report said of the recalled vehicles. “Vehicles equipped with other transmissions are not affected by this recall.”

The biggest story in the Democratic Party isn’t the fighting between House and Senate Democrats because that fight reflects the larger issue of the shift in the Democratic base since Trump came back to office.

It shouldn’t have been a surprise to elected Democrats that after their voters were told for years that Trump is a threat to democracy and all that they value, these voters would expect Democrats holding office to do something in response to the threat.

Elected officials often don’t react until they see changes reflected in polling, and a new NBC News poll should cause any lingering Democrats to change course.

Schumer has said, “A government shutdown gives Donald Trump, Elon Musk and DOGE almost complete power as to what to close down, because they can decide what is an essential service. If they determine that SNAP, kids shouldn’t get food is not essential, they can just cut it out summarily. They could fire half the workers in the federal government.”
