Green Bay Packers legend Clay Matthews read a “message” from President Trump at the 2025 NFL draft in Green Bay, Wisconsin. During the draft Matthews took the stage and took out a piece of paper and shared, “I just got off the phone with the president, Donald Trump. He asked me to pass a message along to all 32 NFL franchises. Let me tell you what it reads here alright.” He added, “My fellow Americans, THE BEARS STILL SUCK!!!” Watch here: WATCH: NFL legend Clay Matthews reads a ‘message from President Trump’ at the #NFLDraft in Green Bay pic.twitter.com/XhJM0L4mkd — Breaking911 (@Breaking911) April 25, 2025 It’s unknown if the emssage was actually from President trump or Matthews was just trolling. Per the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: Packers legend Clay Matthews III helped open the 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay alongside other greats and the NFL commissioner. On a night the United States celebrates the next generation of NFL superstars, opening night of the draft on April 24, the six-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champion said he had a message from the country’s leader. “I’m gonna go off script here real quick … Roger,” Matthews said as he stormed to the podium following NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell’s speech. “I just got off the phone with the president, Donald Trump. He asked me to pass a message along to all 32 NFL franchises. Let me tell you what it reads here alright.” Matthews then revealed a letter that read, “My fellow Americans, THE BEARS STILL SUCK!!!” The Chicago faithful are likely to hear about their struggling franchise all weekend long since the draft is in Green Bay, where the Bears are longtime enemies and rivals of the Packers.

The former linebacker took the stage in Green Bay with several of his former Packers teammates, and Packers superman Lil Wayne. After Goodell greeted the fans, Matthews, unannounced, took the mic and got the crowd fired up by reading a “message” from President Donald Trump. Matthews apologized to the commissioner for going “off script,” but it was an electric moment. “I just got off the phone with the president, Donald Trump. He asked me to pass a message along to all 32 NFL franchises. Let me tell you what it reads here, alright?” Matthews began. “It says ,’My fellow Americans, the Bears still suck!”

Proof of American citizenship on voter registration forms — that’s what a federal judge just ruled unconstitutional. At least, it’s unconstitutional to require people to prove their citizenship on voter registration forms according to this judge… if PRESIDENT TRUMP is the one calling for it. I’ll just go ahead and share up front what Rep. Darrell Issa said in response to this judge’s illogical overstep, because he summed up the entire issue in this simple post to his X account: If President Trump issued an executive order saying 2+2=4, a rogue federal judge would block it. — Rep. Darrell Issa (@repdarrellissa) April 24, 2025 Here’s what happened. President Trump’s executive order titled “Preserving and Protecting The Integrity of American Elections” was signed a month ago today, on March 25th. It didn’t create anything new, in reality. It simply reinforced the EXISTING ‘Federal prohibition on foreign nationals voting in Federal elections”, according to the Executive Order — which you can read in its’ entirety, here. The ONLY thing President Trump’s executive order did was ENFORCE (which is what the Executive Branch does, by definition) existing law. It set up a series of protocols designed to make sure the existing Federal laws preventing non-citizens from voting in U.S. elections were actually enforced. And, as I said, since President Trump was the one behind it… a federal judge stepped up to block it.

She’s ruled with Brady Campaign & others to block guns in national parks, blocked Trump’s transgender military ban, sentenced pro-life activist Paula Harlow harshly, & shielded DOGE from Treasury access. As FISA Court head (2002-2009), she greenlit NSA’s domestic metadata collection, allowing massive Govt spying. This is a Judicial Coup by Left-Wing Activists! Where is @SpeakerJohnson? Now, she has blocked a completely rational and logical ENFORCEMENT action by the EXECUTIVE BRANCH based on existing Federal law — only because it came from President Trump. The legal semantics the judge is using to make her case rests solely on the fact that this involves federal elections, which she argues outlaws any involvement whatsoever by the Executive Branch, according to Fox News: A federal judge in Washington, D.C., on Thursday blocked a portion of President Donald Trump’s executive order on election integrity, specifically provisions related to providing documentary proof of citizenship before being allowed to register to vote. Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia handed down the order in response to lawsuits filed by three separate groups of plaintiffs over five different provisions in a March 25 Trump executive order relating to election integrity. While Kollar-Kotelly dismissed requests to block three of the provisions, requests to block two other provisions pertaining to a proof of citizenship requirement for voters were granted. The first blocked provision sought to compel the Election Assistance Commission to amend standardized national voter registration forms to require documentary proof of citizenship. The second sought to require federal agencies offering voter registration to people on public assistance to “assess” the individual’s citizenship status before doing so. “Our Constitution entrusts Congress and the States — not the President — with the authority to regulate federal elections. Consistent with that allocation of power, Congress is currently debating legislation that would effect many of the changes the President purports to order,” Kollar-Kotelly, a Clinton-appointee, wrote in her order. “No statutory delegation of authority to the Executive Branch permits the President to short-circuit Congress’s deliberative process by executive order.” As journalist Nick Sortor shared on his view of the judge’s order, this isn’t really about constitutionality or legal parameters or any of that. It’s about the Democrat plan to allow NON-CITIZENS TO VOTE: #BREAKING: A DC judge has BLOCKED an order by President Trump requiring proof of citizenship to vote Because of course they did. It’s ALL part of the Democrat plan to continue to allow illegals they imported to vote. I REALLY hope we can rely on the Supreme Court to… pic.twitter.com/EZZxUpadER — Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) April 24, 2025 As usual, a federal judge is using a skewed view of the Constitution’s division of powers to pretend the President doesn’t have any Presidential authority whatsoever. The executive order signed by President Trump a month ago doesn’t even begin to ‘regulate’ federal elections. It simply exercises EXECUTIVE AUTHORITY — as bestowed by the Constitution — to ENFORCE federal law through administrative protocols. If that’s not the job of the President… then why do we even have one!? Here’s a great video report on the judge’s block on President Trump’s executive order, including the measure put forward in the House to ensure only Americans can vote in American elections: Besides the blanket use of that skewed view, the judge also blocked the part of the executive order that requires those on public assistance to have their citizenship assessed before gaining access to the voter registration forms through the public assistance channels, as reported by the Associated Press: U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly in Washington sided with voting rights groups and Democrats, saying that the Constitution gives the power to regulate federal elections to states and Congress — not the president. She noted federal lawmakers are currently working on their own legislation to require proof of citizenship to vote. In a 120-page decision on Thursday, she said the plaintiffs had proven that the proof-of-citizenship requirement would cause their clients irreparable harm and go against the public interest, while the government had offered “almost no defense of the President’s order on the merits.” Accordingly, she granted a preliminary injunction to stop the citizenship requirement from moving forward while the lawsuit plays out. The judge also blocked part of the Republican president’s order requiring public assistance enrollees to have their citizenship assessed before getting access to the federal voter registration form. The plaintiffs had argued Trump’s proof-of-citizenship requirement violated the Constitution’s so-called Elections Clause, which gives states and Congress the authority to determine how elections are run. They also argued that Trump’s order asserts power that he does not have over an independent agency. That agency, the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, sets voluntary voting system guidelines and maintains the federal voter registration form. If you’ll notice from that Associated Press report, the judge has no problems denying President Trump the authority to do anything remotely touching a federal election. But at the same time, she clearly upheld a federal agency’s ability to REGULATE federal elections — though that agency is neither mentioned nor given powers by the U.S. Constitution to do so. It’s just that in our day and age, allowing unconstitutional regulatory agencies created by Congress to run unmitigated has become the norm. But that doesn’t mean it’s right, constitutional, or legal. And it’s darn sure not GOOD. I’m sure this won’t be the last challenge to the Trump Administration’s efforts to fix the problems with U.S. election corruption. But hopefully the current swell of federal judges willing to do the Deep State’s dirty work for them will cause a serious reaction by lawmakers in Congress — and the President — to push back against their usurpation of legitimate Constitutional authority. The judicial branch, supposedly the weakest branch of our government, has now become the most powerful by its’ own volition. It’s time someone yanked that red carpet out from beneath their feet, and Constitutionally put them back in their proper place.

It’s been a while since we’ve heard from Newt Gingrich, but it turns out he’s still very active and he’s back with a simple and brilliant solution for stopping these rogue judges. He’s already given the plan to the Senate GOP and this should sail through Congress quickly if we truly have Republicans and not RINOs in office. Watch here: Former House Speaker @NewtGingrich has the solution to stop rogue judges. The Senate GOP needs to move immediately to get this done!pic.twitter.com/Sucn0c22GO — Kyle Becker (@kylenabecker) April 24, 2025 FULL TRANSCRIPT: There’s a great question from an incognito who asked why Congress isn’t doing more to deal with these district judges who seem so out of control. Well, I can talk about that because I actually testified at a judiciary committee hearing in the House just about a week ago, talking about the need to restrict district courts to local district decisions and not allow district court judges to make nationwide decisions that could affect everybody as though they were an alternative president. I’m delighted to report that Congressman Darrell Issa actually passed a bill which would block district courts from having nationwide injunctions and instead limit them to their own district. It went through the House. Senator Grassley has a similar bill in the Senate. I suspect it’ll pass, and I suspect that President Trump will sign it. So Congress is moving to put district judges back in their district and not allow them to pretend that they’re alternative presidents.

The approval of leftist leaders in Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom has surged since President Donald Trump took office in January and began implementing his economic and foreign policy agendas. The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday that the reaction to the beginning of Trump’s second administration has given new life to liberal leaders who previously looked destined for defeat in upcoming elections. Trump’s massive tariffs imposed on nearly every country in the world are the top issue that appears to be driving support for leftist leaders. The biggest swing following Trump’s inauguration came in Canada, where the ruling Liberal Party appeared dead in the water until Trump imposed a tariff on Canadian goods and suggested making Canada the 51st state. Trump’s policies and attitude toward Canada have appeared to turn the upcoming prime minister election on its head — shifting from a likely flip to the Conservative Party to potentially remaining in the hands of the Liberal Party and leftist Prime Minister Mark Carney. The Conservatives, led by Pierre Poilievre, were ahead of the Liberals by more than 20 points in the polls, but now the Liberals lead by around 4 points, according to the WSJ. Poilievre and his Conservative Party hope to gain back support among Canadians, who will go to the polls on Monday. In Australia, which is holding elections on May 3, Left-leaning Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is now ahead in the polls by more than 10 points after trailing his conservative opponent, Peter Dutton, by six points in January. The jump in support for Albanese coincides with Australians losing trust in the U.S. government, according to polling results from the Lowy Institute. The think tank found that only 36% of Australians have any level of trust in the United States to act responsibly, the WSJ reported. That was down from 56% last year. The United Kingdom’s Left-leaning Labour Party is still struggling with its approval rating, sitting at just 29%, but that’s an 8-point increase from February. The upward trend in approval for the British Labour Party followed Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s meeting with Trump at the White House in late February to discuss tariffs and the war in Ukraine. Starmer has vowed to “only strike a [trade] deal” with Trump “if it’s in the national interest.” Earlier this month, an Ipsos poll showed a 17-point drop in the number of Britons who agreed that the United Kingdom has a “special relationship” with the United States, down to 30%. Conservative leaders in Canada and Australia are trying to navigate Trump’s policies as they seek to regain support ahead of their elections. Poilievre, a popular figure on the Canadian Right, has pushed “Canada First” campaign messaging, similar to Trump’s “America First” slogan. The Canadian parliamentarian has also amassed a large following among Canadian and some American conservatives for his viral critiques of the legacy media and former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Despite his similarities to Trump, Poilievre has been careful to differentiate himself from the U.S. president and has strongly opposed Trump’s tariffs that are now affecting the Canadian economy, calling Trump’s move “historic mistreatment of Canada.” Poilievre’s strategy is showing signs of success, as the Conservative Party has regained some ground on the Liberals, according to a CTV News-Globe and Mail-Nanos poll released earlier this week. According to the survey, Conservatives have narrowed the gap from 5.6 points to 3.6 points. Dutton, the Australian conservative candidate, has pushed policies similar to those implemented by Trump, such as seeking to radically cut government spending. Dutton, however, has called Trump comparisons a “sledge” used to attack him, adding that “the government doesn’t have a good story to tell.”
