WASHINGTON, D.C. — Just in time for the Trump administration to move in, a cleaning crew reportedly arrived at the White House to get rid of the old man smell. According to sources, the special cleaning was specifically requested by President Trump after he visited the White House previously as president-elect to meet with Biden. "I went in there and I said, 'Wow.' It smelled like death, is what it smelled like. Just wow. Old man smell, me boys," Trump said as part of his inaugural address. "I've been calling him Sleepy Joe but he's actually just Dead Joe....

The Village People stirred up controversy with their performance at the inauguration of Donald Trump yesterday, with many media sources accusing the group of doing a double Hitler salute during their performance. According to journalists from sources like the Washington Post, CNN, Huffington Post, and ABC, the band's gestures during the performance could be ominous indications of latent fascist support for Trump. "It's not just one Hitler salute, either," warned CNN's Jake Tapper. "We're seeing these people literally double Trump's Nazism with two whole Hitler salutes. This could be the most dangerous threat to democracy we have ever seen in...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The former leader of the Proud Boys and the founder of the Oath Keepers have been released from prison after their lengthy sentences for seditious conspiracy in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol were wiped away by a sweeping order from President Donald Trump benefiting more than 1,500 defendants. Enrique Tarrio and Stewart Rhodes were two of the highest-profile Jan. 6 defendants and received some of the harshest punishments in what became the largest investigation in Justice Department history. Rhodes, of Granbury, Texas, was serving an 18-year prison sentence, and Tarrio, of Miami, was serving...

The commandant of the US Coast Guard has been terminated over concerns about the border, recruitment and an “erosion of trust,” a senior DHS official confirmed to Fox News. Adm. Linda Lee Fagan, 61, has been terminated by Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Benjamin Huffman, the official said. Fagan has demonstrated leadership deficiencies, operational failures and an inability to advance the strategic objectives of the Coast Guard. These include the failure to address border security threats, insufficient leadership in recruitment and retention, mismanagement in acquiring key acquisitions such as icebreakers and helicopters, excessive focus on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives...

Donald Trump’s first day in office has been an epic one indeed. He signed dozens of executive orders dismantling the Biden legacy and restoring sanity to the U.S. government. Things were so crazy during the Biden administration that Trump had to use an executive order to reaffirm the reality of biological sex and establish that it is the policy of the United States that there are only two sexes, male and female, which are not interchangeable. As PJ Media’s Sarah Anderson previously noted, this likely means that individuals who got passports with the third “X” gender option during the Biden...

‘A lot of companies got way out over their skis on this, but the law hasn’t changed,’ Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti said.. After years of applying the progressive environmental, social, and governance (ESG) ideological framework to their corporations, executives appear to now be realizing that these programs could be driving their companies into a legal and financial wall. The past year has seen a growing list of Fortune 500 companies announcing that they are dropping race- and gender-based programs for their employees and pulling out of global net zero climate clubs. Companies that have announced they are canceling or...

Teamsters union members working at Costco Wholesale locations across the country voted to authorize a strike on Sunday, with more than 85% of members in favor of hitting the picket lines. The union represents more than 18,000 Costco employees nationally. "Our members have spoken loud and clear -- Costco must deliver a fair contract, or they'll be held accountable," Teamsters General President Sean M. O'Brien said in a press release Sunday. "From day one, we've told Costco that our members won't work a day past January 31 without a historic, industry-leading agreement. Costco's greedy executives have less than two weeks...

The inaugural address was magnificent. Clear. Strong. Trump trademark theatrics almost completely absent. "We will not forget our God." was my favourite moment on first viewing. A new morning in America is what this looks like to me. This little music video is my response. The footage was made in a little Baptist Church near my place. Then I went online to find a film editing product I could actually use to string together the two bits of footage. Its very rough film making. But it's from the heart. God Bless You, America.

As part of his Day One agenda, President Trump used his clemency powers to place a hiring freeze on the IRS, preventing them from taking on any new employees, at least temporarily. Along with the hiring freeze, President Trump signed an Executive Order requiring all federal workers working remotely to return to in-office work. Take a look: VIDEO AT LINK...................... The reason for this move is most likely due to budgeting constrains and wasteful government spending concerns. Along with the IRS hiring freeze, President Trump halted all federal government hiring in order to ensure that only the best and brightest...

President Donald Trump‘s second Oval Office got its big debut Monday, including the return of an Andrew Jackson portrait and the reemergence of the Reagan rug. The rug, which was in place during Ronald Reagan’s administration and during Trump’s first term, was reinstalled during Trump’s inauguration ceremony, according to CBS News. The Resolute Desk had to be partially disassembled in order to facilitate its return. The Andrew Jackson portrait has drawn controversy because Jackson, the nation’s seventh president, signed the Indian Removal Act, resulting in the Trail of Tears, and remains a polarizing figure almost 180 years after his death....

Recently, the incoming Trump administration has expressed a desire to expand the territory of the United States. One option for achieving this is the annexation of Marie Byrd Land, a region of Antarctica that is currently unclaimed by any nation and whose exploration was pioneered by the U.S. Annexing this land can be done in a realistically achievable manner and would deliver practical gains. Marie Byrd Land is a region in West Antarctica that currently comprises the largest unclaimed piece of land on the surface of Earth. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) describes it as stretching east of the Ross...

Many of the promises President Donald Trump vowed to deliver upon were fulfilled on his first day in office, enthralling Republicans who celebrated the presidential actions. “Your head will spin when you see what’s going to happen,” Trump said in October of Day One. Trump vowed to launch the largest deportation in United States history, secure the border, end birthright citizenship, pardon January 6 defendants, unleash American energy, terminate federal DEI programs, and begin to drain the “deep state.” “We will demolish the ‘deep state.’ We will expel the warmongers from our government. We will drive out the globalists. We...

A federal judge on Tuesday ruled that the Justice Department cannot share special counsel Jack Smith's classified documents report with members of Congress. U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon extended the hold she had placed blocking the DOJ from sharing with four lawmakers Smith's report on his probe into President Donald Trump's alleged mishandling of classified documents. "In short, the Department offers no valid justification for the purportedly urgent desire to release to members of Congress case information in an ongoing criminal proceeding," Cannon wrote in an order published Tuesday, the day after Trump returned to office. Cannon, who dismissed...

The reliable Gospel eyewitness accounts aren’t the only ancient description of Jesus. There are also non-Christian descriptions of Jesus from the late 1st to 5th Century. What do the non-Biblical accounts say about Jesus and how are we to assess them?[...] Hostile Non-Biblical Pagan Accounts[...] Thallus (52AD)[...] “On the whole world there pressed a most fearful darkness; and the rocks were rent by an earthquake, and many places in Judea and other districts were thrown down. This darkness Thallus, in the third book of his History, calls, as appears to me without reason, an eclipse of the sun.” (Julius Africanus,...

Former Rep. Liz Cheney and Rep. Bennie Thompson, who were both on the House committee investigating the attack on Jan. 6, release a statement following pardons from Joe Biden in the last hours of his presidency. “We have been pardoned not for breaking the law but for upholding it,” the statement says.

CBN.com -Stephen Christo never wavered in his devotion to the array of Hindu gods and goddesses. And he wanted nothing to do with other religions, especially Christianity. “Because they were the only ones keep talking about their god. I said to people, hey, you got one. I got millions. I don't need your one." When Stephen turned 19 he left his home on the island of Trinidad, bound for the US. Naturally, his parents were worried but they also had good reason. Earlier in his teenage years, he developed a recurring illness that had been triggered by the common cold....

At a hearing in the U.S. Congress on Tuesday to consider Fox News host Pete Hegseth's candidacy for defense secretary, Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI) asked him a provocative question: whether Hegseth would approve of the use of force to capture Greenland if Donald Trump gives him such an order. Hegseth responded confidently and professionally: "One of the things that President Trump is so good at is never strategically tipping his hand so I would never in this public forum give one way or another." Hegseth's response demonstrates that the possibility of the island coming under U.S. control still exists. The...

The Laken Riley Act is roiling the Senate Democratic Conference, as senators believe their party bungled immigration and border security in 2024 but aren’t happy about the swift passage of a bill they view as terrible policy. Democratic critics of the bill believe the rush to pass it is a political overreaction from Democratic colleagues scrambling to protect themselves on those issues. Some Democratic senators are venting frustration about Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) giving a green light to politically vulnerable colleagues to vote to advance the bill without getting an ironclad guarantee that Democrats would have more opportunity...

President Biden’s commutation for Leonard Peltier, who killed two FBI special agents, drew sharp criticism from the FBI Agents Association. Natalie Bara, president of the FBIAA, said the organization was “outraged by then-President Biden’s decision to commute the sentence of Leonard Peltier, a convicted cop killer responsible for the brutal murders of FBI Special Agents Jack Coler and Ronald Williams.” Ms. Bara said that while Mr. Biden’s “last-second, disgraceful act” does not change Peltier’s guilt, it “does release him from prison is cowardly and lacks accountability.”
