President Trump says Ukraine can “forget about” joining NATO. “That is probably the reason why the whole thing started,” he said. Usually, you won’t hear a president say it so definitively. After he commented, mainstream media loudly claimed that he’s repeating Russian talking points.

James Comey is under FBI investigation for his attempt to take down President Trump in his first term. He used two female federal agents to infiltrate the new administration. It was an off-the-books investigation, and Comey personally directed it. Comey was rewarded for this.

On Wednesday, Senate Republicans defeated an attempt by their Democrat colleagues to undo President Donald Trump’s day-one national emergency declaration. Members voted 52-47 along party lines. Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-ND), who is recovering after falling and suffering a brain bleed after hitting the back of his head, missed the vote. “For the last four years, American energy production was crippled by a woke, green agenda,” Sen. Jim Risch (R-ID) said in a post to X on Wednesday as the effort met defeat. He added: “President Trump’s energy emergency declaration takes the necessary steps to reverse Democrats’ Green New Deal and prioritize our domestic energy and natural resources.” On the first day of his second term in the White House, Trump signed the national emergency declaration, which ordered agencies to boost energy domestic production and infrastructure. “That’s a big one,” Trump said. “You know what that allows you to do? It means you can do whatever you have to do to get out of that problem. And we do have that kind of an emergency.” Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) and Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee ranking member Martin Heinrich (D-NM) led the effort to “terminate” the order via a joint resolution. While claiming the order would kill jobs, raise costs on families, and weaken economic competitiveness, the Democrats made their resolution “privileged,” which forced a vote on it. “Today’s vote goes to show, once again, that Senate Republicans refuse to do their jobs and put the American people above the wish lists of Trump’s donors and billionaire energy tycoons,” they said. Kaine and Heinrich added: “To our colleagues: don’t say we didn’t warn you when your constituents’ energy bills go through the roof. To the American people: we’re going to keep fighting for you.” Senate Energy and Natural Resources Chairman Mike Lee (R-UT) worked to rally his fellow Republicans, who have a 53-47 majority in the upper chamber, in opposition to the resolution. He said: “Senate Republicans won’t let Democrats delay and obstruct any longer and will ensure the President has the tools necessary to deliver the results the American people expect.”

Texas officials are warning ranchers and farmers about a deadly new threat on the border as Mexican cartels deploy military-style improvised explosive devices (IEDs), killing a 74-year-old Texas rancher. The explosion that claimed Antonio Céspedes Saldierna’s life near the Texas border marks a dangerous escalation in cartel tactics that mirrors terrorist strategies used in war zones. Deadly Cartel IED Attack Kills American Rancher Antonio Céspedes Saldierna was killed when his vehicle struck an improvised explosive device on a road in Tamaulipas, Mexico, just across from the Texas border. The blast also killed another man, Horacio Lopez Peña, and injured Céspedes’ wife, Ninfa Griselda Ortega, in what officials are describing as a dramatic escalation in cartel violence. Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller has issued an urgent warning to all farmers and ranchers who work near or travel to the border region. “This shocking act of violence highlights the growing threat posed by cartel activity along our southern border,” Miller stated in an official warning that underscores the deteriorating security situation. "Our agriculture family is the backbone of Texas, and we must do everything we can to protect it," @MillerForTexas said in a warning after a Texas rancher was killed allegedly by an explosive device planted by cartel members. https://t.co/Ef196x1SjK — The Texan (@TheTexanNews) February 25, 2025 Son of Slain Rancher Calls Attack “Terrorism” Ramiro Céspedes, the son of the victim and a U.S. Army veteran, compared the attack to terrorist tactics he witnessed while serving overseas. “I consider this a terrorist attack because if I went to war to fight terrorists, and I’m seeing the same thing here to me – my personal opinion – it is a terrorist attack,” he said, drawing parallels between cartel violence and Middle Eastern terrorism.

Mexican authorities in Tamaulipas have confirmed the presence of explosive devices on rural roads between Reynosa and Rio Bravo, warning that cartels are increasingly using these weapons against rivals and to control territory. Border Security Crisis Intensifies Reports indicate cartels are now using drones to drop explosives, with some sources linking this escalation to frustration over U.S. immigration policies. The Texas Department of Agriculture has issued specific safety recommendations, advising people to “refrain from touching unfamiliar objects that could be explosive devices, limit travel to daylight hours, stay on main roads, and avoid cartel-controlled regions.” “I urge all Texas farmers, ranchers, and agricultural workers who travel to Mexico or operate near the border to exercise extreme caution. The Lower Rio Grande Valley (LRGV) is a crucial part of Texas agriculture, and the safety of our agricultural community is of utmost importance. We cannot overlook the rising violence that threatens not only lives but also the security of our farms, ranches, and rural communities.” – Sid Miller During the Trump administration, several Mexican cartels were designated as foreign terrorist organizations, including the Sinaloa Cartel and the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. The recent IED attack has renewed calls for stronger border security measures and more aggressive action against cartels, whose tactics now include weapons typically associated with terrorism and warfare rather than traditional criminal activity.

Former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio, recently freed by President Trump, exposes shocking truths about January 6 that defy the liberal narrative. Tarrio claims the Biden administration offered him leniency to falsely implicate Trump, revealing a deep-state conspiracy designed to imprison patriotic Americans and destroy the MAGA movement. Government Conspiracy Against American Patriots Enrique Tarrio’s bombshell first interview since being released from prison exposes how the Biden regime, Democrats, and legacy media fabricated an entirely false narrative about January 6th. The former Proud Boys leader revealed that despite not even being present in Washington DC during the events at the Capitol, he was sentenced to an unprecedented 22 years behind bars for refusing to lie about President Trump’s involvement. According to Tarrio, the only evidence used against the Proud Boys was a document titled “1776 Returns,” which he claims was created by the FBI and deliberately planted in their chat group. This shocking revelation confirms what many conservatives have long suspected: the federal government infiltrated patriotic organizations and manufactured evidence to justify their unprecedented political persecution campaign against American citizens exercising their constitutional rights. Former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio follows and insults officers who defended the U.S. Capitol on January 6. Donald Trump released these people are guilty of trying to overthrow the government. What a fucking shit show! pic.twitter.com/ruOkQXqOFZ — Esheru (@EsheruKwaku) February 23, 2025 Trump’s Pardon Freed Political Prisoners Tarrio was one of over 1,500 individuals granted clemency by President Trump after his 2024 election victory, finally bringing justice to patriots who suffered under Biden’s politically motivated prosecutions. The former Proud Boys leader describes enduring harsh prison conditions while serving his sentence, treatment that would never be tolerated for leftist protesters who routinely destroy property and attack police officers during their demonstrations. Enrique Tarrio KNEW he was a PAWN when they put him in a room and pushed a paper in front of him, “a narrative that the person who instructed me to try to overthrow the government that day was Donald J. Trump." @NobleOne @jimhoft_ pic.twitter.com/IjRLxI6h4Y — NanLee Marie Carissimi (@NanLee1124) February 26, 2025 His freedom was only secured after Trump returned to office and fulfilled his promise to right the wrongs committed by the previous administration against January 6th defendants. Tarrio’s case highlights the stark contrast between the Trump administration’s commitment to equal justice and the Biden regime’s weaponization of law enforcement against political opponents. The Truth Finally Emerges Tarrio’s testimony directly contradicts the narrative pushed by the partisan January 6th Committee, which conducted over 1,000 interviews yet somehow missed these critical details about government misconduct. The Department of Justice allegedly pressured Tarrio to lie under oath to implicate Trump, and when he refused to compromise his principles, they punished him with one of the harshest sentences ever imposed for non-violent political protesting. “My character and my integrity mean more to me than anything,” mirrors the sentiment expressed by Tarrio, who chose prison over false testimony against President Trump. Tarrio’s case represents just one example of how the federal government abused its power to target conservatives and MAGA supporters while ignoring actual violence from leftist groups across the country. His recent confrontation with Capitol Police officers—whom he accused of perjury during his trial—further demonstrates the corrupt system that worked together to punish political dissidents who dared challenge the establishment.

Republicans Go There: Jacking the Tax Up on University Endowments

Americans have largely rejected the left’s silly, childish push for communist ideology over the past 15 years or so. But some of these folks refuse to move on. In a recent post on X, Melanie D’Arrigo, the executive director of the Campaign for New York Health and vice president of legislation at the New York National Organization for Women, repeated several long-debunked talking points: If we capped wealth at $999,999,999 we could invest almost $5.9 trillion into improving our country. And if you’re upset at transferring wealth down, why are you ok with how we pass laws to transfer wealth up — from the working class to billionaires? Billionaires shouldn’t exist. Since this is the equivalent of a toddler’s rant, I thought I would provide a toddler’s guide to why billionaires should, in fact, exist. Mommy, why are there billionaires? The label of “billionaire” is nothing more than an accounting of the net worth that someone has. But most billionaires aren’t swimming around in a room full of gold coins like Scrooge McDuck (which would be impossible anyway). They have most of their net worth tied up in owning a valuable business. Typically, billionaires have established businesses that employ other people and provide goods and services that others want. Because consumers find those goods and services worthwhile, the business becomes more valuable. Based on the value at any point in time, the founder or manager’s share of that business could be “worth” a billion dollars or more. If it stopped providing value, it could be worthless. Why should you or anyone else get to decide that someone has 'too much' wealth? Billionaires exist most of the time because they created a lot of value for others, as well as themselves. But aren’t billionaires bad? Creating value is never a bad thing. Generating jobs and providing essential goods and services play a crucial role — arguably more important than most of what the government does these days! Why can’t we just take away their money? Taking someone’s money away is theft. Theft is wrong and a violation of your property rights, honey. Someone can’t just come in here and say you have too many toys and take some of them away. One can’t say that your room is too big and others need shelter, so you have to let strangers sleep in your room. As Thomas Sowell said, “I have never understood why it is ‘greed’ to want to keep the money you have earned but not greed to want to take somebody else's money.” It sounds like you are the one being greedy, sweetie! But why can’t we just cap their money at $999,999,999? You just made up that number. And the word you’re looking for is wealth. Why should you or anyone else get to decide that someone has “too much” wealth? Also, incentives drive outcomes, so if you cap wealth, you limit the incentives for others to make investments, to innovate, and to provide important value to the world. That money could help other people! Wealth isn’t just other people’s money. In many cases, it isn’t money at all. Businesses provide value that benefits others. More government funding hasn’t led to better results. Spending has increased over time, yet the only clear beneficiaries are government cronies! America remains one of the most generous nations, donating more to charity than any other country in the world. But it’s almost $6 trillion! If you tried to take away billionaires' business stakes, the value of those businesses would go down, so you would never see the $6 trillion, and it would hurt the wealth of middle-class Americans whose pensions and 401Ks are invested in the stocks of those companies. Also, the U.S. government spent almost $7 trillion last year, so taking that money wouldn’t fund the government for even a year, and then where would the government get money the next year? Your arguments truly make no sense — which I guess is understandable since you are a toddler. I don’t care! Billionaires shouldn’t exist! Adults who use toddler logic shouldn’t exist, but here we are. Now, go eat your vegetables. I hope this guide proves useful when Bernie Sanders, Robert Reich, Melanie D’Arrigo, or someone else presents a toddler-level argument about billionaires.
