Trump’s Post on Rob Reiner’s Death Was a Massive Misstep, While the Vast Majority of MAGA Posts Got It Exactly Right– www.westernjournal.com

Blurb:

I’ve often written for this site that the monstrous, prickly caricature of President Donald Trump usually portrayed by the media is a wild-eyed ruse.

His touching and humane response to finding out about the news of Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s passing in 2020 has always been a moment that I’ve referenced as showing just how magnanimous Trump can be when his ideological foes perish.

Why, oh, why, couldn’t that Donald Trump have been present when famed Hollywood director Rob Reiner and his wife were allegedly murdered by their son in their California home on Sunday?

Instead, we got this version of Trump:

“A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood,” the president posted to Truth Social on Monday morning. “Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS. He was known to have driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump, with his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump Administration surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness, and with the Golden Age of America upon us, perhaps like never before. May Rob and Michele rest in peace!”

I mean this with zero exaggeration: That message should’ve literally been just the first line and last line, period.

Everything else is a disservice to anyone who’s ever defended Trump’s character from the relentless smears of the left and establishment media.

You simply do not speak ill of the dead, barring someone truly heinous (like, if you wanted to crack a Hitler joke hours after he offed himself, have at it).

The daughter of one of the victims of Sunday’s Bondi Beach terror attack told CBS News on Monday that her father was “shot dead for being Jewish,” and she now believes Australia is not a safe home for Jewish people.

Sheina Gutnick said that her father, Reuven Morrison, a 62-year-old Soviet-born member of the ultra-orthodox Jewish community in Australia, was killed while attempting to stop one of the two gunmen during Sunday’s mass shooting, which Australian authorities have called an antisemitic terror attack.

“From my sources and understanding, he had jumped up the second the shooting started. He managed to throw bricks at the terrorist,” Gutnick told CBS News in Bondi on Monday, referencing an attempt to stop one of the gunmen that was caught on camera during the attack the previous day.

Wisconsin Assistant Attorney General Adrienne Blais did little Monday to challenge the defense’s legal arguments that her agency’s politically motivated fraud case against two attorneys and an aide for the 2020 Trump campaign is built on a prosecution “error.”

Blais didn’t need to do much. Liberal Dane County Judge John Hyland, who refused to recuse himself from the case after explosive allegations that a retired judge was the ghostwriter of Hyland’s earlier order, ruled that prosecutors had provided enough evidence to take the phony “false electors” case to trial.

The EU’s top diplomat has warned it looks “increasingly difficult” to secure agreement among European leaders over a vital loan for Ukraine. Kyiv is fast running out of money and is desperately in need of an injection of cash to keep the country afloat and its army equipped with weapons.

Leaders from European states have been discussing a plan to give Kyiv a reparations loan financed by frozen Russian assets totalling €210billion. Most of that money (€185bn) is held in Belgium at Euroclear – a central securities depository in Brussels. The plan has met fierce resistance from Belgium’s prime minister Bart De Wever, who is demanding cast-iron guarantees of protection from Brussels from any Russian retaliation.

EU leaders will attend a crunch European Council summit on Thursday to discuss the reparations loan.

DOJ Sues Minneapolis Schools For Racial Discrimination Against Teachers– trendingpoliticsnews.com

Blurb:

The U.S. Department of Justice announced this week that its Civil Rights Division had filed a lawsuit against Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) over alleged racial discrimination against teachers in the school system.

The suit targets provisions in the district’s collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with the teachers’ union, alleging that these provisions provide preferential treatment to certain teachers based on race, color, national origin, or sex. The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota.

It claims that the CBA classifies teachers differently for decisions involving involuntary reassignment, layoffs, and reinstatement, depending on whether a teacher is considered a member of an “underrepresented population.”

According to the complaint, this results in teachers from such groups receiving protections or preferences not available to others.

Federal prosecutors say a group of far-left extremists plotted to bomb U.S. businesses on New Year’s Eve and then turn their sights on federal immigration agents in a follow-up wave of attacks.

According to a criminal complaint, four members of a cell calling itself the Order of the Black Lotus planned to plant pipe bombs at two American companies in Los Angeles as part of a scheme dubbed “Operation Midnight Sun.” The group is described as a splinter faction of the anti-capitalist Turtle Island Liberation Front.

After the initial bombings, the suspects allegedly planned to target ICE agents and their vehicles beginning in January or February 2026, hoping the explosions “would take some of them out and scare the rest of them,” prosecutors said.

Investigators said the New Year’s Eve plot involved backpacks packed with explosive devices, outlined in a handwritten plan recovered during the investigation.

The four suspects arrested were Audrey Carroll, 30, who used the aliases “Asiginaak” and “black moon”; Zachary Page, 32, who went by “Ash Kerrigan,” “AK” and “cthulu’s daughter”; Dante Garfield, 24, also known as “Cedar” or “Nomad”; and Tina Lai, 41, whose alias was “Kickwhere.”

It would be hard to find a decent conservative who liked Rob Reiner’s politics — it will be impossible to find a decent conservative celebrating his death.

Reiner, 78, was found stabbed to death with his wife, Michele Singer,  in the couple’s Hollywood home on Sunday. Their middle child, Nick Reiner, is reportedly a suspect in their killing.

And the reaction across the political spectrum — compared to the September assassination of conservative leader Charlie Kirk — speaks volumes about American politics.

To the everlasting disgrace of the American left, Kirk’s killing was cause for celebration among his political opponents.

Reiner, however, an inveterate liberal even by Hollywood standards, had a different take. And in an October interview with “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” he showed what a difference decency can make.

Left-wing podcaster Jennifer Welch demanded a boycott of CBS on Monday, saying progressives should seek to make an example of the network after it aired a town hall with Turning Point USA (TPUSA) CEO Erika Kirk.

Mrs. Kirk did a town hall with CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss that aired Saturday, during which she criticized those who justified the assassination of her husband and TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk. Welch claimed Weiss was turning CBS News into a “propaganda channel.” (

“Okay. So during this Bari Weiss CBS takeover and her first town hall is to roll out Erica Kirk. Mind you, we have so many problems in our country right now. You have a massive financial, uh, economic burdens for so many working-class Americans,” Welch claimed. “You have inflation out the wazoo, health care, all of these things. and she is bringing out Erika Kirk and it’s all they’ve covered for a week straight at CBS News.”

“And listen up, listener, we have agency and we have autonomy,” Welch continued. “Everybody needs to boycott CBS News. They do not get to just come in and say journalism doesn’t matter anymore, we are going to do a propaganda channel. Well, they can do it, but they can’t do it without our money. They cannot do it without our money. They cannot do it if we apply pressure to those advertisers. All of these fascists and all of these oligarchs think they control us and it’s our turn to remind them that we control them. Without our money, you’re nothing. Absolutely nothing.

The Little Sisters of the Poor have again asked a federal appeals court late Friday to block a nationwide ruling that rejected their protection from the federal government’s contraceptive mandate. Represented by the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty and Clement Murphy, the Little Sisters have spent more than a decade in court fighting to defend their ministry from a federal mandate forcing them to either provide contraceptives in their healthcare plan or pay tens of millions of dollars in fines.

They have already prevailed twice at the Supreme Court, including a 2020 ruling that upheld the federal conscience rule shielding them from the mandate. But Pennsylvania and New Jersey have fought in court to strip the Little Sisters of that protection. Earlier this year, a federal district court sided with the states, forcing the Little Sisters back to federal appeals court yet again.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced that its Office for Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity (FHEO) has launched an investigation into certain housing practices implemented by the City of Boston over alleged racial discrimination in housing.

The investigation focuses on policies described as “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” (DEI) initiatives, which HUD alleges may violate the Fair Housing Act and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by incorporating race-based preferences.The notification to the City of Boston was issued recently, following a prior letter from HUD expressing concerns that the city was using federal grant assistance in ways that include prohibited race-based preferences.

Examples include efforts under the city’s Fair Housing Assessment to target homebuyer outreach specifically at Black and “Latinx” families. This involves the Mayor’s Office of Housing, the Boston Planning Department, and the Boston Housing Authority collecting racial and ethnic data to evaluate programs through a racial equity and social justice perspective.

Heading into the midterm election season, the economy is still the No. 1 issue for voters, including among President Donald Trump’s Make America Great Again coalition, a new poll shows.

The poll from NBC News Decision Desk showed that Republicans and MAGA Republicans are slightly shifting their outlook on the economy, becoming more likely to say their personal financial situation is worse off today than it was one year ago. The poll found that 64% of people think the economy is on the “wrong track,” compared to 60% at the beginning of the year.

Out of nine given categories, 27% of the 20,252 people polled between Nov. 20 and Dec. 8 listed the economy as the No. 1 issue that matters most to them, with 44% of survey respondents listing “inflation and the rising cost of living” as the most important economic matter to their family.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte issued a stern warning to the organization’s allied nations on Thursday, suggesting they stand as “Russia’s next target” after Ukraine.

Rutte delivered the sobering message that NATO countries are “already in harm’s way” during a keynote address at a Berlin event hosted by the Munich Security Conference. He equated Ukraine’s security with Europe’s security and predicted that “Russia could be ready to use military force against NATO within five years.”

“The dark forces of oppression are on the march again. I am here today to tell you where NATO stands, and what we must do to stop a war before it starts. And to do that, we need to be crystal clear about the threat. We are Russia’s next target, and we are already in harm’s way,” Rutte said.

The sentiment of Rutte’s address echoed that of his very first major address as NATO chief one year ago, in which he warned member nations that they must shift to a “wartime mindset” and be willing to hike defense spending to prevent a war with Russia. In his speech on Thursday, Rutte circled back to this message to show the efforts put toward defense spending since his initial call to arms, but warned against complacency.

Actually, what you have here is a twofer. Not only does Mamdani have no plan, but here’s another example of the useless media asking these kinds of questions only after their guy ( a communist, Jew-hating Islamist) is safely in office.

The reporter points out that Mamdani does not want to take any money away from New York’s MTA (Metropolitan Transit Authority). Mamdani agrees. Then comes the question a real media would’ve been asking relentlessly and for months during the campaign: “How are you getting the $700M to make the buses free if the governor is not for raising taxes?”

Mamdani answers with “raising the corporate tax.”
