The vice president gave his opposition some free advice, but they'll probably ignore it in favor of their current playbook. J.D.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem reportedly wants to use funds in order to buy a fleet of airplanes that would be owned and operated by ICE. These planes would be used to drastically speed up deportations of illegal immigrants. Check it out: BREAKING: DHS is considering buying their OWN fleet of airplanes to rapidly increase the rate of deportation flights, per NBC This is EXACTLY where I want my tax dollars going. Mass deportations are a MUST! pic.twitter.com/dNccXIaQFH — Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) August 20, 2025 BREAKING: DHS is considering buying its OWN FLEET of airplanes to expedite deportations! This would SUPERCHARGE deportations and it should ABSOLUTELY be done! They ALL have to go home! pic.twitter.com/x0jUODYghb — Gunther Eagleman (@GuntherEagleman) August 20, 2025 Having their own fleet of airplanes could boost ICE deportations up by twice the current numbers. NBC News reported: Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is pushing for Immigration and Customs Enforcement to use an influx of funds to buy, own and operate its own fleet of airplanes to deport immigrants, two sources familiar with the discussions told NBC News. Former officials said that ICE owning and maintaining its own planes would be costly but could make it easier for the agency to potentially double the number of people it deports each month. ICE uses charter planes to deport immigrants and has done so for years. The agency has typically chartered eight to 14 planes at a time for deportation flights, according to Jason Houser, who served as ICE chief of staff from 2022 to 2023. He said that allowed the Biden administration to deport roughly 15,000 immigrants per month on charter flights. “If the goal is to get to 30 to 35,000 removals a month, you would need to double the number of planes,” Houser said, or purchase roughly 30 planes. With a guaranteed set of 30 or more planes, ICE wouldn’t be constrained by the limits of the companies it contracts with, which charter their planes to multiple clients. However, purchasing a fleet of planes would be expensive, costing billions of dollars. NBC News has the numbers: It can cost $80 million to $400 million to buy a commercial airliner, according to aviation experts at the Pilot Institute, a company that trains pilots. Purchasing 30 passenger jets at that price range could cost $2.4 billion to $12 billion, but it’s unclear if ICE could lower the price per plane by buying a large number of them. Right now, ICE pays charter plans thousands of dollars per hour to deport illegal immigrants. From Forbes: Daily scheduled charter flights used by ICE have an average cost of $8,577 per flight hour, with special high-risk charter flights costing between $6,929 and $26,795 per flight hour depending on aircraft requirements, according to ICE estimates. Keep in mind that ICE was given roughly $30 billion for enforcement and deportation operations in President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill (in addition to $45 billion for deportation facilities.) What do you think? Would you support some of that money be spent on buying a dedicated fleet of airplanes for ICE?

From country charm to corporate bland… The Cracker Barrel you know and love is no more. After nearly fifty years, their beloved, iconic logo has been replaced by a new, “improved” modern one. Here it is: Cracker Barrel has updated their logo for the first time in 47 years pic.twitter.com/H4pRyDz7Aa — Dexerto (@Dexerto) August 20, 2025 Sleek. Modern. Soulless. I can’t help but wonder how much some graphic design “professional” was paid to just remove the man and his barrel and slap the text onto a bland mustard-colored blob-shape. Heck, even this would have been a better redesign: pic.twitter.com/jw5vHZAkgb — Mrs B (@attackdogX) August 20, 2025 But, that’s not even the worst part… In addition, the restaurant/store is getting a new makeover. And by that, I mean, just like with the logo, the soul of the place has been absolutely destroyed. The once-charming interior reminiscent of old America is now white and devoid of any character. See for yourself: Cracker Barrel has RUINED their ENTIRE brand. WTF is wrong with these people? pic.twitter.com/KJjEFwx7Lg — Gunther Eagleman (@GuntherEagleman) August 20, 2025 It used to be a cozy place to eat and shop in a nostalgic atmosphere that was uniquely American. Being there reminded you of the good old days. Now, it just looks like a corporate nightmare. Even the outside has been painted over in white… Cracker Barrel didn’t just lose its logo. It lost its soul.

It’s extermination of Americana, of warmth, of memory. Congratulations, Cracker Barrel. You’re now Woke Barrel. Nobody asked for this. It’s all thanks to the new CEO Julie Masino, who is openly pushing a DEI regime at the company. In fact, according to a civil rights complaint from America First Legal, Julie is discriminating against hiring white people.

We get changing with the times, but this is the Cracker Barrel for crying out loud. You want to improve the Cracker Barrel? Up the game on the food options; don’t take away the one thing that made it worthy of nostalgia, its aura. You go to the Cracker Barrel with your grandparents early on a Tuesday morning in the summer before going to Costco. You play checkers with your brother by the fireplace on a cold winter night while your family waits for the meal. You sit in the rocking chairs on the porch during a confusingly long wait for Saturday brunch. You run over to that mechanical toy parrot who records what you say and repeats it in the gift shop and tell it a potty word for some poor sap to hear once you scurry away, giggling like an idiot. That’s the Cracker Barrel, folks. That’s America. The rebranded logo cements what a travesty this is to undo the foundation a proud chain restaurant tradition. No longer is it an “Old Country Store.” No longer is there a friendly man reclining in a wooden chair. No longer is there even a barrel. It’s the Cracker Barrel! Where’s the barrel?! Now, it’s just a big yellow blob designed by a first-year graphic design student studying minimalism. That stinks. I’m sorry, but it stinks. Why did we have to change the Cracker Barrel logo? The “sunny” designs chase the poppy casual brunch vibes of Maple Street Biscuit Company and Another Broken Egg Cafe. Those are a dime a dozen; they’re not the Cracker Barrel. What’s next? A hip, modern spin on the Waffle House?! That’s not what Cracker Barrel is! Cracker Barrel is supposed to feel like yesterday, like a wooden time capsule back to a time where your mom would complain to the waiter that your table is way too close to the smoking section and bacon was considered a side dish to go with a huge stack of pancakes, made-to-order eggs and cinnamon apples. It’s the place where you and your grandma go get a quick bite to eat before going to the movies, or the place where a 10-top table is needed because your entire family decided to show up for an impromptu supper one random night. I couldn’t agree more with all of this… It looks like Cracker Barrel has chosen the Bud Light path….totally alienating its customer base. What are your thoughts? Will you go to Crack Barrel anymore after its sterile, woke rebrand?

President Trump is now demanding the resignation of Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook over allegations of mortgage fraud. Lisa Cook was appointed to the Fed board by Joe Biden in 2022. Since then, she has sided with Jerome Powell on every single vote.

Lisa Cook is a Biden appointee and Jerome Powell loyalist. She has voted with Powell 100% of the time. President Trump called for Cook to resign in this Truth Social post: Last Friday, Lisa Cook was referred to the DOJ by Director of Federal Housing Bill Pulte, who accused her of committing serious mortgage fraud. An excerpt from the Bloomberg article that President Trump linked to reads: President Donald Trump called on Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook to resign after a staunch ally called for an investigation of the board member’s mortgages, intensifying his campaign on the central bank. Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte urged Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate Cook over a pair of mortgages, the latest in a series of moves by the Trump administration to increase legal scrutiny of Democratic figures and appointees. Cook was nominated to the Fed by former President Joe Biden. Pulte explained further in a post on X: U.S. Federal Housing FHFA, alleges in a Criminal Referral to the Department of Justice that Federal Reserve Governor, Lisa D. Cook, committed mortgage fraud by designating her out of state condo as her primary residence, just two weeks after taking a loan on her Michigan home… pic.twitter.com/3hlknQ4yzF — Pulte (@pulte) August 20, 2025 U.S. Federal Housing FHFA, alleges in a Criminal Referral to the Department of Justice that Federal Reserve Governor, Lisa D. Cook, committed mortgage fraud by designating her out of state condo as her primary residence, just two weeks after taking a loan on her Michigan home where she also declared it as her primary residence. When someone commits mortgage fraud, they undermine the faith and integrity of our System. It does not matter who you are – no one is above the law. We have sent a Criminal Referral to the Department of Justice with regard to the allegations against Ms. Cook, and the DOJ should go wherever the facts may lead them. Not only did Lisa Cook declare her Atlanta condo as her primary residence just two weeks after declaring her Michigan property as her primary residence in a loan filing, but she also listed that very same condo for rent not long after being appointed to the Fed board. Nobody ever questioned anything… The timing of this is insane. On June 18, 2021, Lisa Cook signed mortgage documents identifying her Michigan residence as her primary residence. Two weeks later on July 2, 2021, she purchased a condo in Atlanta and identified it as her primary residence. On January 14, 2022,… pic.twitter.com/KFibPq4AwH — Pino Americano (@PinoAmericano) August 20, 2025 The timing of this is insane. On June 18, 2021, Lisa Cook signed mortgage documents identifying her Michigan residence as her primary residence. Two weeks later on July 2, 2021, she purchased a condo in Atlanta and identified it as her primary residence. On January 14, 2022, Joe Biden nominated her to the Federal Reserve Board. On May 23, 2022, she took office on the Federal Reserve Board. In September of 2022, she listed the Atlanta condo for rent. Team Biden never questioned the mortgage fraud and neither did the US Senate. It’s very strange that Lisa Cook was not investigated for mortgage fraud much earlier. You’d think the Senate at least would vet Federal Reserve Board nominees? Apparently not. Keep in mind that Lisa Cook is currently one of only twelve people on the Federal Reserve board who can influence interest rates in our country. It’s a very important position. If she resigns or is (rightfully) fired, then President Trump can replace her with someone more credible and aligned with his goal to cut interest rates. The Washington Examiner noted: While Pulte has gone after other officials over similar accusations, Cook is of interest because she is a voting member of the Fed board and one of the 12 people who control the direction of interest rates in the United States. Cook was nominated to the board by former President Joe Biden and worked in the Obama administration, in addition to being an academic economist. However, amid all this, Cook says she will not resign. From CNBC: In response to Pulte’s tweet, Cook said she has no plans to step down. “I learned from the media that FHFA Director William Pulte posted on social media that he was making a criminal referral based on a mortgage application from four years ago, before I joined the Federal Reserve,” said Cook in a statement. “I do intend to take any questions about my financial history seriously as a member of the Federal Reserve and so I am gathering the accurate information to answer any legitimate questions and provide the facts,” she said. You hear that? Cook says she is prepared to answer questions about her financial history… Here’s a good one to start with: Lisa Cook says she will answer all legitimate questions. Let’s start with this. Are these your signatures on Mortgages? pic.twitter.com/4aOfWB2VN2 — Pulte (@pulte) August 20, 2025 No one is above the law. Lisa Cook should resign. If she doesn’t, I have a feeling she will be forced out the hard way…
