Donald Trump grows angrier as Vladimir Putin exposes his impotence

As Washington settled in for a typically sleepy Memorial Day following the passage of Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” in the House, the president fired off one of his trademark furious rants on Truth Social, but the target was a surprise.

It was aimed squarely at Russian president Vladimir Putin. Despite what he called a “very good relationship” with Putin, Trump in his latest statement on the Ukraine-Russia war blasted the Russian leader as “absolutely crazy.”

Mr Trump sudden harsh turn was illuminative, if not for the reason he may have intended, writes John Bowden:

French President Emmanuel Macron brushed off an incident involving his wife, where she appeared to aggressively shove him while disembarking a flight.

Macron’s office on Monday downplayed the altercation in which his wife, Brigitte Macron, appeared to shove him in the face as the couple arrived in Vietnam at the start of a Southeast Asia tour.

In the video, Brigitte’s hands can be seen pushing into his face while the president prepares to disembark from the presidential aircraft. Only her arms and hands are visible, which, clad in red sleeves, matched the attire she wore moments later when walking down the plane’s steps alongside her husband.

Rep. Glenn Ivey (D-MD) said he was denied access in El Salvador to visit Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the suspected MS-13 gang member mistakenly deported by the Trump administration.

Ivey, who represents the congressional district in which Abrego Garcia lived, said he contacted a Salvadoran ambassador to make a request to their government before his trip. Despite that outreach, he added, he was denied access to the prison where Abrego Garcia is being held.

“They knew we were coming, they knew why we were coming, and they know we have the right to do this,” Ivey said in a video posted on X on Monday. “So, they need to just cut the crap, let us get in there and have a chance to see him and talk with him.”

Ivey noted he was told to travel to San Salvador to obtain a permit before he could visit Abrego Garcia. He appeared in the video alongside Abrego Garcia’s attorney and a member of CASA, the Maryland-based union he was part of.

King to outline Carney’s priorities in Canada’s Parliament amid Trump threat– abcnews.go.com

Excerpt:

OTTAWA, Ontario — OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — King Charles III will outline new Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government priorities in a speech in the Canadian Parliament on Tuesday. It’s widely viewed as a show of support in the face of annexation threats by U.S. President Donald Trump.

Trump’s repeated suggestion that the U.S. annex Canada prompted Prime Minister Carney to invite Charles to give the speech from the throne. The king is the head of state in Canada, which is a member of the British Commonwealth of former colonies.

Carney said in a statement the visit speaks to the “vitality of our constitutional monarchy and our distinct identity.”

It is rare for the monarch to deliver what’s called the speech from the throne in Canada. Charles’ mother, Queen Elizabeth II, did it twice in her 70-year reign, the last time in 1977.

The speech is not written by the king or his U.K. advisers as Charles serves as a nonpartisan head of state. He will read what is put before him by Canada’s government.

“Globalize the Intifada”: Colorado Man Arrested for Attempt to Attack U.S. Embassy in Israel, Assassinate Trump, Musk– gellerreport.com

A man was arrested at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York on Sunday following an alleged attempt to firebomb a branch office of the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv, the Justice Department said in a statement.

The man, named Joseph Neumeyer, is a dual American and German citizen and was detained in Israel on May 19 after a hostile confrontation in which Neumeyer spit on a security guard in front of the office earlier that day, according to the Justice Department.

The guard tried and failed to detain Neumeyer, who ditched the backpack he was carrying to break free, the statement said.

A search of the backpack he left behind at the embassy after the confrontation “revealed three rudimentary improvised incendiary devices commonly known as Molotov cocktails,” the statement added. Officials were able to track Neumeyer to his hotel, where he was arrested.

On May 19, Neumeyer wrote on Facebook:

“Join me this afternoon in Tel Aviv. We are burning down the U.S. embassy.”
“Death to America. Death to Americans and f*** the West.”
“We are killing Trump and Musk now.”

Leo Terrell, senior counsel at the Department of Justice, pledged to “review all leads” after a left-wing pro-Hamas influencer praised the murder of two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington, DC, calling the attack an act of “resistance.”

Terrell’s post came in response to viral videos from Guy Christensen, a far-left Gen-Z TikTok creator with millions of followers, who openly celebrated the deadly shooting during a private event. Christensen referred to the gunman, Elias Rodriguez, as a “resistance fighter” and claimed the victims were part of a “genocide machine.” 

In a since-deleted clip, Christensen said, “I do not condemn the elimination of the Zionist officials,” and called on his viewers to “support Elias’s actions.”

In reply, Terrell posted on X, “Will review all leads!” 

Earlier, he urged Americans of all political backgrounds to stand united against escalating antisemitism, and called on the public to “join the Trump administration” in defending core American values.

Journalist Claims Biden Aides Planned Second Term Where They Only Needed to Sometimes Show ‘Proof of Life’– legalinsurrection.com

Excerpt:

Jake Tapper’s co-author Alex Thompson of Axios appeared on FOX News Sunday this weekend and made some stunning claims about what Biden’s inner circle was planning to do if he secured a second term.

It’s easy to forget that prior to Biden’s horrible debate performance last spring, and even for some time after, his campaign was going full steam ahead on his reelection.

According to Thompson, if Biden won, the plan was to shuffle him out in front of the public once in a while as ‘proof of life’ while his aides actually ran the country.

Transcript via Real Clear Politics:

SHANNON BREAM, FOX NEWS SUNDAY: You quote a long-time Biden aide basically admitting he shouldn’t be running again. They said to you on page 85, ‘He just had to win, and then he could disappear for four years. He’d only have to show proof of life every once in a while. His aides could pick up the slack.’ Who would have been running the White House in a second Biden term

ALEX THOMPSON, CO-AUTHOR: Well, this person went on to say that when you’re voting for a president, you’re voting for the aides around him. But these aides were not even Senate-confirmed aides. These are White House aides. These were unelected people. And one of the things that really I think comes out in our reporting here is that if you believe — and I think a lot of these people do sincerely believe that Donald Trump was and is an existential threat to democracy — you can rationalize anything, including sometimes doing undemocratic things, which I think is what this person is talking about.

Supreme Court Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas were left stunned on Tuesday after their colleagues refused to take up a case involving a Massachusetts middle schooler who was reprimanded in school for wearing a shirt acknowledging biological reality.

As part of its newly released order list, the nation’s highest court declined to hear arguments in L.M. v. Town of Middleborough. The case involves Middleborough, Massachusetts, youth Liam Morrison, who in March 2023 wore a T-shirt that reads, “There Are Only Two Genders” to Nichols Middle School.

As The Federalist previously reported, Morrison — who was in seventh grade at the time — “was pulled from class by acting Principal Heather Tucker, who ordered Morrison to remove the shirt. After Morrison declined to do so, Tucker allegedly said he would not be permitted to return to class until he removed the shirt, prompting the seventh grader to leave school for the day.” This prompted Morrison to instead wear a shirt that reads, “There Are Censored Genders,” which school administrators also prohibited him from wearing.

A new poll finds that a majority of Americans feel that Joe Biden was unfit to serve as president of the United States.

There was a significant difference in responses between Republicans and Democrats.

On the question of whether Biden was physically and/or mentally capable of serving, 85% of Republicans didn’t think so, while just 32% of Democrats didn’t.

On whether staffers were making presidential decisions, 88% of Republicans thought so, compared to 24% for Democrats.

‘To argue this is a threat against Trump is very dishonest,’ professor says

A climate professor from the University of Pennsylvania suggested the country is in “second amendment territory” if President Donald Trump does not comply with a federal judge’s ruling to halt the dismantling of the Education Department.

“If Trump doesn’t comply, we’re in second amendment territory,” Professor Michael Mann wrote on Bluesky on Thursday, prompting backlash.

Several high-profile observers took it to mean he was calling for armed resistance, and he has since deleted his post, Headline USA reported.

“The second amendment refers to the right of the people to rise up and defend democracy,” he wrote in a second post Friday. “To argue this is a threat against Trump is very dishonest.”

“Hi @FBI, this climate scientist and professor at @Penn appears to be calling to kiII Trump and Trump officials,” Libs of TikTok wrote on X in response to the post.

NPR sues Trump over executive order slashing federal funding– www.cbsnews.com

Excerpt:

Washington — NPR on Tuesday sued President Trump and administration officials over an executive order signed earlier this month that seeks to cut federal funding to the news organization and PBS.

Filed in the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., the suit was brought by NPR and three Colorado-based public radio stations. It argues that Mr. Trump’s executive order violates the First Amendment and provisions of the Public Broadcasting Act, which was passed by Congress in 1967. The plaintiffs also assert that Mr. Trump did not have the authority to stop federal funding for NPR and PBS, and his order should be invalidated as unconstitutional.

The order, NPR and the three stations said in their complaint, is “textbook retaliation” and discriminates based on viewpoint, which is a violation of the First Amendment.

“Original Sin” authors claim Biden health coverup worse than Watergate… but of course, now comes their anti-Trump pivot– www.louderwithcrowder.com

We all knew the “now it can be told” books about Joe Biden’s OBVIOUS cognitive decline since before he ran for president were going to be maddening. Seeing journalismers go from the Biden cover-up being right-wing fan fiction to bigger than Watergate still makes you want to flip tables… and now we get the predictable pivot to making it about being anti-Trump and what HE might be covering up.

Let’s start with the Watergate comparison, which, for the sake of argument, was President Richard Nixon’s scandal being the mastermind behind a break-in at Democrat HQ (I know that you know that I know that you know). As it turns out, according to Jake Tapper, not knowing who was running the country for four years mayhaps be a bigger scandal.

This is an entirely separate scandal. Maybe even worse … maybe even worse than Watergate in some ways because Richard Nixon was in control of his faculties.

On Thursday at 6:54 a.m., the U.S. House passed the Trump and Republican-backed One Big Beautiful Bill Act. (Yup, that is this 1,118-page measure’s official title.) By a snare-drum-tight, 215-214 vote, all but three Republicans and zero Democrats chose to give Americans $4.1 trillion in tax relief, along with their bacon, eggs, tea, and toast.

President Donald Trump, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and Majority Leader Steve Scalise (both Louisiana Republicans) were the chefs who moved this elaborate meal from kitchen to table. It has plenty to nourish this economy:

•The One Big, Beautiful Bill makes permanent the rates in the Trump/GOP Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. Every House Democrat voted to let these lower rates lapse on January 1 and slap average taxpayers with a 22% tax hike.

•As promised: No taxes on tips or overtime, plus tax leniency for seniors.

For the first time in its 29-year polling history, Rasmussen shows that 50 percent of the country believes America is on the right track, compared to 45 percent who say we are on the wrong track.

“Holy crap – it happened!” Rasmussen’s Mark Mitchell announced on X, adding: “For the first time in our polling history, A MAJORITY says the country is on the right track.”

He added, “Don’t F it up, Republicans.”

Rasmussen first began tracking the right track-wrong track number almost 20 years ago, in 2006.

Rasmussen reported the specific numbers on X. As you can see, this is not a one-night aberration. Rather, it’s a tracking poll that averages the last five days:

The previous “right track” record high was 48 percent.

Despite relentless attacks from the left, President Donald Trump’s approval ratings have progressively increased, marking a stunning turnaround from last month’s lows.

Since beginning his second term in office, Trump’s disapproval rating peaked at 52.4% in late April, according to RealClearPolitics. The drop in support came just weeks after Trump rolled out 10% baseline tariffs as part of his Liberation Day declaration on April 2.

‘His rising ratings are directly the result of his easing of concerns about his tariffs.’

Trump’s critics slammed his tariff announcement, further fueling concerns about economic uncertainty that appeared to reflect in the polls, which showed a 45.3% approval rating on April 28.

Journalism scholarship only open to African Americans; history scholarship gives preference to ‘minority’ students

Middle Tennessee State University is facing a federal civil rights complaint alleging it offers 17 scholarships that “discriminate based on race, color, and/or national origin.”

One example cited in the complaint is the Whitney Stegall scholarship, which states, “Preference will be given to students who are African-American or Native- American.”

“Racial and ethnic discrimination are wrong and unlawful no matter which race or ethnicity is targeted or benefits,” William Jacobson, founder of the Equal Protection Project, told The College Fix.

“All applicants are entitled to equal treatment without regard to race, color, or national origin,” the Cornell University law professor said in a recent interview.

The Equal Protection Project, which is part of the Legal Insurrection Foundation, filed the complaint earlier this month. EPP’s mission is to pursue “fair treatment of all persons without regard to race or ethnicity.”

When contacted by The Fix about the complaint, the university media relations office declined to comment.

Supreme Court Stays Order Forcing Trump to Reinstate Fired Labor Regulators– legalinsurrection.com

Excerpt:

The Supreme Court granted President Donald Trump a stay on an order forcing him to reinstate to reinstate Cathy Harris of the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) and Gwynne Wilcox of National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) as the two women fight for their jobs in the courts.

The vote went 6-3. SCOTUS wrote:

The stay reflects our judgment that the Government is likely to show that both the NLRB and MSPB exercise considerable executive power. But we do not ultimately decide in this posture whether the NLRB or MSPB falls within such a recognized exception; that question is better left for resolution after full briefing and argument. The stay also reflects our judgment that the Government faces greater risk of harm from an order allowing a removed officer to continue exercising the executive power than a wrongfully removed officer faces from being unable to perform her statutory duty.

A stay is appropriate to avoid the disruptive effect of the repeated removal and reinstatement of officers during the pendency of this litigation.
