During the opening monologue on Sunday’s broadcast of FNC’s “Life, Liberty & Levin,” host Mark Levin offered his view on President Donald Trump’s tariff plan and contrasted it with the Democratic Party’s approach to the economy. Levin called the Trump administration’s effort a “growth plan” while criticizing Democrats for their approach centered on the redistribution of wealth. Transcript as follows: LEVIN: Can somebody please tell me what exactly are the Democrats doing to help our economy, to improve our country? What are they doing to help working men and women across the country, manufacturing across the country? All they want...

Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin is demanding the return of the Venezuelan gangsters to the United States. In an obvious of how little Democrats care about protecting America’s borders, Raskin said during a hearing that the hundreds of Venezuelan gangsters deported from the U.S. to a prison in El Salvador should be returned immediately. “I call on my colleagues to demand that the Trump Administration comply with all judicial orders while appealing whichever ones they want to appeal, and to demand the return of people unlawfully taken to El Salvador on that so-called plane full of ‘gang bangers,’” Raskin said at...

– “The brave nations and the proud youth” of the region are labeled as “proxy” forces by western officials, “whereas the Israeli regime is the only proxy force in the region, which works on behalf of colonialist forces to violate the territories and sovereignties of countries.” – “The Zionist regime, as a proxy of the colonizers, incites fire, commits genocide, and perpetrates crimes, and if it gets the chance, it violates [the territories of] other countries, just as it is violating Syria’s today.” – “If others defend their rights or their land, they are labeled ‘terrorists;’ yet, [it is] the...

During most times and among most people, good relations between Mexico and the United States would be looked upon as a good thing. But if you feverishly hate Trump, you root against American interests, like David Frum of The Atlantic magazine. It's no big surprise since a few months ago, Frum wildly accused Trump of planning to build a network of "concentration camps."In his latest symptom of extreme Trump derangement, Frum snarled on Friday that the good relations currently being enjoyed by the two neighbor nations is in reality "appeasement" by Mexico. The headline was "Why Sheinbaum Can Surrender to...

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey doubled down on his resistance to President Donald Trump and border czar Tom Homan’s immigration enforcement efforts today, vowing that his city will be a “safe haven” for illegal immigrants.Speaking at a town hall with other Democrat leaders, including “Squad” member Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., Frey said: “I want all of you just to know exactly where we are as far as our neighbors go, Minneapolis will continue to be a safe haven for undocumented immigrants.”“Regardless of who you are or where you come from, Minneapolis is a place where you should be proud to call...

Online influencer Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan left the United States for Romania on a private flight on Friday (Mar 21) to fulfil legal obligations related to a criminal investigation against them, they said. The brothers are under investigation in Romania on accusations of forming an organised criminal group, human trafficking, trafficking of minors, sexual intercourse with a minor and money laundering. They have denied all wrongdoing. "Spending US$185,000 on a private jet across the Atlantic to sign one single piece of paper in Romania," Tate posted on social media platform X. "Innocent men don't run. They clear their...

Texas Democrat Representative Jasmine Crockett says she finds herself rooting for sports teams from Mexico and Canada instead of the U.S. merely because she despises President Donald Trump.Crockett visited the popular Breakfast Club podcast and told host Charlamagne Tha God that she couldn’t root for American teams.The elected member of the U.S. House of Representatives bloviated about people “speaking truth to power” and added, “The fact that I’m rooting for Canada and I’m rooting for Mexico a lot is really wild.”She claimed, “But they are really the ones that are speaking truth to power right now. They can see what...

In a notable shift from previous years, numerous Democratic members of Congress are opting out of attending President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration. However, the term "boycott" is conspicuously absent from their explanations this time. This adjustment in rhetoric follows Mr. Trump's significant electoral victory, which seems to have moderated the House Democratic Caucus's stance toward him despite lingering anti-Trump sentiments.

In a stunning reversal, the tech industry—once the unstoppable engine of modern innovation—has laid off over 124,000 workers in 2024 alone. What’s driving this wave of layoffs, and what does it mean for the future of work in one of the world’s most dynamic sectors? The Layoff Landscape In August 2024, Intel sent shockwaves through the market by announcing a 15% reduction in its global workforce—roughly 15,000 jobs. Just days later, Cisco Systems announced plans to lay off 7% of its employees, marking its second round of job cuts this year as the company shifts focus to rapidly growing areas...

As the top recipients of H-1Bs, Indians have been incensed by MAGA criticism of the program.KOLKATA, India — The “civil war” among supporters of President-elect Donald Trump over H-1B visas in recent days has sparked sharp reactions and accusations of racism from commentators in India, where these visas for skilled workers are in high demand.Newspaper columns and social media posts decried what they characterized as a “racist” backlash against legal Indian workers in the American high-tech industry, after criticism of the visa program by far-right activists in the United States, such as Laura Loomer. “The rising power, wealth, and visibility...

Well, how about this “fly in the ointment, monkey in the wrench, a pain in the a--” (Die Hard, 1988)? Just when we thought everything was in place for a single-minded new era — a closed border, reduced inflation, and an end to wokery (among relief from other insane policies of the Biden regime), we have an internecine war on our hands. Who knew that Vivek and Elon both viewed us as lazy, retarded, and unskilled, unworthy of the jobs millions of foreigners, mostly Indians, have been imported to fill?

Billionaire Trump surrogate Elon Musk endorsed a post on Thursday which suggested Americans were too “retarded” to be hired for skilled jobs. After the South Africa-born CEO of X, SpaceX, and Tesla found himself embroiled in an argument over H-1B visas and the importation of foreign labor over American workers, a pro-Musk account wrote: So basically the right split into two factions, tech right and right right, and the tech right is like “hey we need h-1b visa people to do the jobs,” and the right right was like “no you need to hire americans,” and the tech right is...

Gov. Kathy Hochul on Saturday called New Yorkers who vote for Republican House candidates “anti-American” and “anti-women” — a smear that sparked furor across the Empire State and beyond. “If you’re voting for these Republicans in New York, you are voting for someone who supports Donald Trump and you’re anti-women, you’re anti-abortion, and basically, you’re anti-American,” Hochul said on MSNBC. “You just trashed American values and what our country is all about — over and over.”

Former porn star Mia Khalifa mocked US service members in a social media video that went viral, saying she hoped they’d get “their little brain[s] all scrambled up” for fighting wars overseas. “Good morning to everyone who is not in the US military,” Khalifa starts the video posted to her X account. “Good morning to everyone who is sitting at home and not on soil that doesn’t belong to them, fighting a war for a country that doesn’t care about them.” “I hope you go over there and get your little brain all scrambled up with PTSD and come back...

(Oct. 24, 2024) — On Tuesday a video was uploaded to Rumble by “The Liberty Daily” depicting an apparent computer graphics technician detailing how he found the “long-form” birth certificate image posted by the Obama White House in 2011 to be a forgery, echoing the findings of then-Maricopa County, AZ Sheriff Joseph Arpaio and his lead investigator on the case, Mike Zullo. Various commenters to the video remarked it was “old news” but nevertheless important even nearly eight years after Zullo’s investigation, begun in August 2011 with Arpaio’s authorization, concluded, reinforcing its original findings that the image posted at whitehouse.gov...

When then-President Obama awarded California labor leader Dolores Huerta the Presidential Medal of Freedom — the nation’s highest civilian honor — one person was notably absent from the ceremony in the White House’s East Room: Julie Chavez Rodriguez. Huerta has known Chavez Rodriguez, the granddaughter of the legendary Cesar Chavez, who co-founded the United Farm Workers union with Huerta, since she was an infant. Chavez Rodriguez was working in the Obama administration at the time, but those who know her said her absence from the ceremony was not the least bit surprising. “I couldn’t find Julie because she was busy...

My Capitol office was vandalized yesterday in a vile act of hate in which the posters of the more than 100 people still held hostage in Gaza (including 8 Americans) were ripped from the wall, shredded and tossed across the hallway. Rep. Brad Schneider (D-IL) said on Friday that posters outside his Capitol Hill office that featured pictures of hostages being held by Hamas in Gaza were vandalized a day earlier in what he called a “vile act of hate.” “My Capitol office was vandalized yesterday in a vile act of hate in which the posters of the more than...

The January 6 Capitol breach has been called an attempted coup; it was not a coup, but a coup by the extreme left is possible in the future. Before I make my case, a few points should be made about January 6. David Harsany pointed out in the New York Post that the J6 protestors had no plan; a study at Harvard showed that most Jan 6 protestors did not believe they were overruling democracy, but preserving it: The documents show that Trump and his allies convinced an unquantifiable number of Americans that representative democracy in the United States was...

The End Of The Petrodollar Is The End Of America’s Global DominanceEvery nation has had to convert its currency to the U.S. dollar, making it the de facto global currency. Thanks to Joe Biden, it’s all gone.The petrodollar agreement with Saudi Arabia began in 1974, two years into Joe Biden’s first term as a United States senator. It ended this week, a half-century later, during Biden’s first term as U.S. president. Among all the news stories that matter, few rank higher than this. It’s bigger than President Trump and Hunter Biden’s convictions, bigger than jobs reports and inflation numbers, and...

The manufactured “border crisis” is a real-life experiment to test a theory put forth by two sociology professors at Columbia University in 1966. It is a “crisis” brought about solely by the refusal of the Biden administration to enforce existing immigration law which is a primary duty of our chief executive in the White House. Former President Barack Obama has orchestrated the “border crisis” from behind the scenes because of his blind adherence to the Cloward-Piven strategy he learned while at Columbia University. Leftist sociologists Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven were professors there while he was an undergraduate from...
