A.F. Branco Cartoon – Trump definitely has the stones to move America to greater heights than ever before, cleaning up waste, fraud, and abuse, along with better trade deals, more high-paying jobs, and a robust economy. But the real question is: does the GOP have the stones to help make this happen? Branco Toon Store – Mugs, shirts, Puzzles, Etc. President Trump Calls for Republicans to Unite as “Major Pieces” of Big Beautiful Bill are Considered in Senate Tax, Energy, and Agriculture Committees – NO TAX ON TIPS, SOCIAL SECURITY, AND OVERTIME Under Consideration By Jordan Conradson – The Gateway Pundit – May 12, 2025 The Committee on Ways and Means, Committee on Energy and Commerce, and Committee on Agriculture are set to meet this week for markups on the reconciliation bill. Most notably, on the table before the Ways and Means committee is a 389-page measure, which includes an expansion of the 2017 Trump tax cuts, including no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security, and no tax on overtime. During a White House Press Conference last week, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt laid it all out. “Anyone who opposes this bill will be opposing the largest tax cuts in American history,” she said. “They will be voting to raise taxes by the tune of 4 trillion on the middle class of this country, and we look forward to holding them accountable for that.” READ MORE DONATE to A.F.

A graphics reporter who was working for Bloomberg News and formerly worked at The New York Times was arrested when anti-Israel activists seized control of Columbia University’s Butler Library earlier this month. Jason Kao, who graduated from Columbia in 2022, was charged with criminal trespass and given a desk appearance ticket as a result of his actions on May 7. Eighty-one activists were arrested. Bloomberg reporter arrested during anti-Israel protesters’ takeover of Columbia University library — and is no longer employed by outlet https://t.co/flQD0VqrwR pic.twitter.com/VaavsjR8qp — New York Post (@nypost) May 20, 2025 “During the unrest, rioters injured two, passed out pamphlets endorsing Hamas’s violence, vandalized and damaged the library, and renamed the building after Basel al-Araj, a Palestinian terrorist killed in a 2017 shootout with the Israel Defense Forces,” the Washington Free Beacon, which broke the news of Kao’s arrest, noted, adding, “Kao’s personal website is exclusively devoted to negative coverage of Israel’s war in Gaza. Bloomberg News told the Free Beacon that Kao is no longer employed at the outlet. Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD), the campus coalition of leftists, released a video in which they stated, “BREAKING: THE BASEL AL-ARAJ POPULAR UNIVERSITY HAS JUST LAUNCHED, RECLAIMING BUTLER LIBRARY FOR THE PEOPLE … Over 100 people have just flooded Columbia University for Palestine.” The group issued a list of demands, including: “Full financial divestment from zionist occupation, apartheid and genocide. Academic boycott of all complicit institutions, including the cancellation of the Tel Aviv Global Center. Cops and ICE off our campus. … Amnesty for all students, staff, faculty and workers targeted by Columbia University’s discipline.” We reject an imperialist economy of knowledge. We evoke the legacy of liberation and the philosophy of direct action of Basel al-Araj. OUR DEMANDS: pic.twitter.com/gwKVnowrXu — CU Apartheid Divest (CUAD) (@ColumbiaBDS) May 7, 2025 Last year, the Columbia University Apartheid Divest coalition publicly acknowledged a deeper truth: they are fighting to “eradicate” Western civilization. They joined with the university’s Bengali Student Association to post a statement on Instagram, as Campus Reform reported. “We are Westerners fighting for the total eradication of Western civilization,” they stated. “We stand in full solidarity with every movement for liberation in the Global South. Our Intifada is an internationalist one—we are fighting for nothing less than the liberation of all people. We reject every genocidal, eugenicist regime that seeks to undermine the personhood of the colonized.” ”As the fascism ingrained in the American consciousness becomes ever more explicit and irrefutable, we seek community and instruction from militants in the Global South, who have been on the frontlines in the fight against tyranny and domination which undergird the imperialist world order,” they continued.

After hunting for driftwood all day, a weary couple was in the right place at the right time. Noticing a young osprey struggling in the water at the marina, they leaped into action. They used a long-handled fishing net to lift the baby osprey out of the water. Carefully maneuvering the boat, they placed the bird on the boardwalk. @angeldazzlingdriftwood We got to rescue a Drowning baby Osprey today! We were in the right place at the right time today on our way in from our driftwood hunt today. If you listen you can hear this little guys mom and dad calling. We raced back on the golf cart to make sure he was safe, It turns out a local lady and her daughter had been watching him for two days. He looks a little dehydrated and hungry so the took him to @conservancyswf for a little check up. He will hopefully be back with mom and dad soon. #animalrescue #osprey #birdrescue #happytohelp #evergladesnationalpark #evergladescity ♬ original sound – Dazzling Driftwood After ensuring he seemed to be recovering, they left to dock the boat. They returned to the boardwalk in their golf cart to check on the baby osprey. While there, a local woman and her daughter stated they had also been watching him. The pair took the bird to the Conservancy of Southwest Florida for a quick check. Although they live on a predominantly fish diet, osprey cannot swim. When they fly over water and spot a fish, they dive, leading with their feet. Once they grab the fish, they resurface and take flight with their catch. Occasionally, an osprey can drown by trying to catch a fish too large to lift. Image from Wikimedia Commons. Ospreys mate for life and return to the same nest year after year. In the rescue video, you can hear the parents of the baby osprey screeching in the background. Fledglings stay with their parents for several months after learning to fly. During that period, they hone their fishing abilities. Young birds typically leave their parents during or after their first migration, although they don’t mate for three or four seasons. Males select nesting sites and perform elaborate “sky dances” to attract a female. Osprey nests are large, often five feet across. Once the Conservancy of SWFL clears the rescued baby osprey, it will be returned to reunite with its parents. Please share. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.
