“I think he’s amazing, but I also think he’s got a big company to run, and so at some point he’s going to be going back. He wants to.”

Elon Musk has been the public face of the Department of Government Efficiency since the project was announced by President Donald Trump shortly after his presidential election win in November. Now that’s he’s staffed the project and gotten the spending cuts under way, Trump said Musk may leave DOGE and get back to running his many companies.

“I think he’s amazing, but I also think he’s got a big company to run, and so at some point he’s going to be going back. He wants to. I’d keep him as long as I could keep him,” Trump said during an signing ceremony for a slew of new executive orders. “He wants to. I’d keep him as long as I could keep him,” Trump said.

He emphasized that agency heads who had worked with Musk had gotten a “big education” in how to tackle waste and fraud in government spending before saying that, should Musk leave DC to get back in the saddle at XAi, X, SpaceX, Tesla and Starlink, “there will be a point at which the secretaries will be able to do this work.”

Europe’s Attacks On Free Speech, Elections Prove Vance Right– thefederalist.com

Excerpt:

It’s been a banner week for authoritarians in Europe, and it’s only Wednesday.

On Monday, a French court banned Marine Le Pen, the leader of the right-wing National Rally party and the frontrunner in the 2027 presidential election, from seeking public office for the next five years. The same day, The Telegraph reported that a toddler had been booted from a U.K. preschool for being insufficiently supportive of LGBT politics. Over the weekend, a British couple revealed they had been arrested based on complaints they expressed in a WhatsApp chat about their daughter’s public school.

This is exactly the kind of crackdown on free expression that Vice President J.D. Vance chastised complicit European leaders about in February, in an address at the Munich Security Conference. This week’s insanity further proves Vance’s dire warnings were right.

Vance called out the U.K., Germany, Sweden, and the European Union for censoring and criminalizing the free expression of their citizens, citing police raids against Germans for comments posted online and the prosecution of a British man who dared to pray in silence outside of an abortion facility.

Luigi Mangione gunned down an innocent man and father of two young children outside a Manhattan hotel, an act caught on camera and accompanied by a manifesto, revealing a premeditated execution

Murdering businessmen on a public street in broad daylight evokes the worst days of terror riddled societies like the Red Brigades in Italy. But even then, no one in government was coming to their defense.

The irony is Democrats like Elizabeth Warren are deflecting the catastrophic failures of Obamacare onto those forced to institute it.

When Journos Report a Deportation ‘Sob Story,’ Be Sure to Check the Context and Fine Print– townhall.com

Excerpt:

Even as President Trump’s approval on the economy slips, his support on immigration remains strong.  Americans solidly approve of his mass deportations policy, knowing full well that millions of people were allowed to enter the country illegally under the Biden administration.  Millions of convicted and accused criminals, as well as people with standing deportation orders, are among them.  Quite frankly, these numbers are a good start, but they’re just a start, given what the new president’s team and inherited and the enormity of the resulting task at hand:

Deportations by Immigration and Customs Enforcement surged above 100,000 since President Trump returned to the White House in January — as he maintains his promise to boot illegal migrants, alleged gangbangers and suspected terrorists from the United States, The Post has learned. ICE officials have made 113,000 arrests and carried out “north of” 100,000 deportations since Trump’s Jan. 20 inauguration, a Department of Homeland Security source told The Post Monday. “He’s doing what he was voted in to do. Point blank!” an ICE source said. It wasn’t immediately clear how many detainees are convicted criminals, the status of their cases and their national origins — though sources believe the majority are being removed to Mexico. ICE has since “maxed out” its detention space and is asking Congress to fund additional beds to support the Trump administration’s deportation campaign that yielded 32,000 arrests in its first 50 days.

‘It’s A Turnout Game’: Scott Jennings Gives GOP Blunt Advice About ‘Lower-Propensity Voters’– dailycaller.com

Excerpt:

Republican strategist Scott Jennings said the GOP would need to adapt to its new voter coalition following election results Tuesday night that were mixed for the party’s fortunes.

Republican candidates held two vacant House seats in Florida by solid margins that were still less than half of those President Donald Trump secured there in the 2024 presidential election. Jennings noted that Republican voters “turn out at lower rates,” particularly with special elections.

“It’s a turnout game. And this is a condition of the Republican Party that it’s true, we now have a party that’s made up of lower-propensity voters. They tend not to vote when Donald Trump’s not on the ballot,” Jennings said on CNN. “They turn out at lower rates, especially when elections are happening at odd times. And this is an issue the party is going to have to grapple with.”

Susan Crawford beats Brad Schimel: Why Wisconsin Supreme Court loss was personal for Elon Musk | World News– timesofindia.indiatimes.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

In a closely watched and historically expensive election, liberal Judge Susan Crawford defeated conservative Brad Schimel to secure a 10-year term on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, preserving the court’s narrow liberal majority. This outcome not only represents a significant victory for Democrats but also a deeply personal and strategic defeat for billionaire Elon Musk, who invested millions into the race in an attempt to sway its outcome.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court race shattered records as the most expensive judicial election in US history, with Musk pouring over $21 million into Schimel’s campaign. Much of this funding came through Musk’s America PAC, a political action committee he established to support former President Donald Trump. Musk’s contributions included direct financial backing for Schimel and controversial cash incentives for voters—offering $100 for signing petitions and $1 million checks to select individuals. Despite these efforts, Crawford emerged victorious, securing the liberal majority on the court with national implications for issues such as abortion rights, labour laws, and electoral redistricting.

Susan Crawford, who was endorsed by the Democratic Party, won the closely-watched Wisconsin Supreme Court race Tuesday night in what was the most expensive judicial election in American history.

What would have normally been a sleepy nonpartisan judicial race turned into an expensive battle between Crawford, a Dane County judge, and Waukesha County Judge Brad Schimel, who was endorsed by the Republican Party. The campaigns and their supporters have spent more than $81 million, attracting endorsements and campaign appearances from Elon Musk, Vermont Democratic Sen. Bernie Sanders and other national political figures.

With 91% of the vote in, Crawford led Schimel by 54% to 45%, a margin of about 184,000 votes.

Trump Attorneys Eye ‘Loophole’ For Potential Third Term– trendingpoliticsnews.com

Excerpt:

President Donald Trump’s second term is still in its first 100 days, but speculation about a third term is already well underway.

According to multiple media reports, a top attorney for the president has been exploring a “loophole” in the U.S. Constitution that would allow him to remain in office after 2028, a move without recent historical precedent. President Trump said on Sunday that he was “not joking” about the possibility of serving another four years.

The reports add to Trump’s claim to NBC News that “there are methods” by which he could remain in office, though he declined to elaborate when asked.

CNN legal analyst Elie Honig said Tuesday he believes he knows what Trump’s lawyers are closely evaluating: the exact wording of the 22nd Amendment, which states that “[N]o person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.”

Earthquakes are scary to begin with — from ground level.

But try imagining that you’re dozens of stories up on the top of a skyscraper, in a rooftop pool, when a massive quake strikes.

Talk about nightmare fuel!

That was the scenario that unfolded for multiple pool goers atop skyscrapers in the Thai capital of Bangkok last Friday.

The 7.7 Magnitude quake hit neighboring Myanmar, but Bangkok’s high-rise capital city also took an enormous hit.

Buildings are still coming down today nearly 6 days later as a result of the devastating initial quake, and the aftershocks.

From what I can tell, multiple skyscrapers with rooftop pools were captured from different angles during the shaking.

House Intelligence Committee Democrats Demand Independent Review of Signal Chat Leak– slaynews.com

Excerpt:

Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee are demanding that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard conduct an independent review of the recent Signal chat leak.

It comes after an anti-Trump journalist was inadvertently added to a Signal chat about a military attack, WPRI-TV reported.

Ranking member Jim Himes (D-CT) sent a letter to Gabbard Monday demanding a written response.

The issue occurred because National Security Advisor Mike Waltz accidentally added an Atlantic journalist to the Signal chat with officials.

The left-wing “news” outlet subsequently published the messages.

They were discussing a strike on Houthi terrorists.

Epstein accuser deathbed FBI hit sham Glenn’s got questions– www.theblaze.com

Excerpt:

 

Over the weekend, Virginia Giuffre, one of Jeffery Epstein’s most public accusers, posted on Instagram claiming she was in a serious car crash with a school bus in Perth, Australia, and had only four days left to live. In the picture, Giuffre appears to be beaten up.

Western Australian police reports, however, don’t exactly corroborate her story. According to their documentation, there was a “minor crash” that matches the approximate date and general area Giuffre referred to, but no ambulances were called and no injuries were reported. Further, the East Metropolitan Health Service, which oversees Royal Perth Hospital — Western Australia’s main trauma center near where the crash allegedly happened — told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation that the hospital had “no record” of Giuffre being admitted to any of its facilities.

The discrepancies between Giuffre and local authorities’ reports has ignited some wild rumors online — including that the crash was orchestrated by the FBI, which is trying to prevent Giuffre from testifying, or that Epstein is actually alive and somehow responsible for the collision.

‘My child was abused’: Trump administration targets Maine, California for hiding gender transitions from parents– www.thecollegefix.com

Excerpt:

The U.S. Department of Education recently launched investigations into Maine and California over concerns that public schools in those states violate the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, or FERPA, by withholding information from parents regarding their children’s gender transitions.

The federal Student Privacy Policy Office argued the goal is to take action “against schools misusing FERPA.”

“Parents and guardians have the right to access their child’s education records to guide and safeguard their child’s mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Any policy to the contrary is both illegal and immoral,” said Secretary of Education Linda McMahon in a March 28 news release.

The investigation into the Maine Department of Education was prompted by reports that several school districts were adopting policies that concealed information about students’ gender transitions from parents.

The Trump administration is attempting to shut down growing concerns over the war plans leak, even as congressional requests for independent investigations have begun to surface.

Senior members of the Trump administration—including Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and National Security Adviser Michael Waltz—discussed confidential war plans in a Signal group chat, in which journalist Jeffrey Goldberg was accidentally included.

“As the president has made it very clear, Mike Waltz continues to be an important part of his national security team, and this case has been closed here at the White House as far as we are concerned,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Monday.

Leavitt, who has a history of lying, said that “steps have been made” to ensure that another leak doesn’t happen in the future but gave no details on what those purported steps were.

(Children’s Health Defense) — Roughly 12 hours after 1-year-old Sa’Niya was given six shots for 12 vaccines during a wellness visit, the little girl died. Sa’Niya – who had just turned 1 year old on March 11 – received the shots on March 26 at about 4 p.m., at Golisano Children’s Hospital Pediatric Practice in Rochester, New York, according to the baby’s mother, Shanticia Nelson.

The nurse who administered the shots said Sa’Niya needed them to catch her up on vaccinations she missed at her 6-month appointment – a common but potentially dangerous recommendation, according to several pediatricians interviewed by The Defender.

Nelson, her husband Kayon Carter, and Sa’Niya’s grandmother Latricia Hanley shared the story of Sa’Niya’s death in an interview with CHD.TV Program Director Polly Tommey.

Supreme Court hears arguments in case against South Carolina removing Planned Parenthood from Medicaid program | The Post Millennial– thepostmillennial.com

Excerpt:

An attorney for the state argued that Congress “did not use clear rights-creating language in any qualified provider provision” in the Medicaid Act’s any-qualified-provider provision.

The Supreme Court heard arguments on Wednesday in a case out of South Carolina stemming from an executive order signed by Governor Henry McMaster directing the state’s Department of Health and Human Services to remove abortion clinics like Planned Parenthood from the state’s Medicaid provider list.

While federal law prohibits Medicaid funding from going toward paying for abortions, many Medicaid patients in the state seek out the clinic for care such as cancer screenings, pregnancy testing, and contraceptives, per the Associated Press. In South Carolina, there are just two Planned Parenthood clinics.

An attorney for the state argued that Congress “did not use clear rights-creating language in any qualified provider provision” in the Medicaid Act’s any-qualified-provider provision and that it did not use the word “right or its functional equivalent, nor does it use words with a deeply rooted rights-creating pedigree.”

Abortion horror stories reveal malpractice and the pain inflicted on mothers and unborn babies– www.lifesitenews.com

Excerpt:

Priscilla Dray, a 35-year-old mother of three, walked into the Pellegrin University Hospital in Bordeaux, France on July 22, 2011, to procure an abortion. Within the week, she developed a serious infection; within a month, she developed necrosis. Before the year was out, both of Dray’s legs, her left hand, and her right forearm were amputated.

This abortion nightmare is at the center of a case that unfolded in France last month, as the two doctors responsible for the abortion and her subsequent maiming faced charges of having caused Dray involuntary injuries “through clumsiness, imprudence, inattention, negligence, or failure, (which) voluntarily or involuntarily caused incapacity for more than three months.”

Dray alleges that she begged one doctor for antibiotics and that she was refused on July 23, the day after her baby was aborted. Another doctor allegedly delayed medical examinations despite what is described as “worrying blood tests.” Dray went to the emergency room but was sent home. By July 24, Dray says her legs felt like “pieces of wood,” and returned to the emergency room. She was given antibiotics after a five-hour wait.

“They didn’t believe me, I had to beg,” Dray told the judges at the Bordeaux Criminal Court. “They took me for a bourgeois who was putting on a show.” That night, Dray ended up in the resuscitation room, and days later intensive care; the infection progressed so swiftly that her limbs became gangrenous and were amputated on August 25, scarcely a month after the abortion. As Dray stated on the M6 programme Zone Interdite: “I trusted (them) and this is the state they put me in. I should have died.”
