A federal judge won’t block a controversial Trump administration initiative to share highly sensitive taxpayer information with federal immigration authorities in hopes of tracking down undocumented immigrants and quickly deporting them out of the country. District Judge Dabney Friedrich on Monday rejected arguments from several immigrant-rights groups, that claimed the data-sharing agreement between the Internal Revenue Service and Immigration and Customs Enforcement violated taxpayer confidentiality laws. The decision is a victory for President Donald Trump and his immigration agenda. Trump administration officials argued that greater cooperation between the IRS and ICE will protect Americans by kicking out potentially dangerous immigrants...

Yesterday, China issued Retaliatory Tariffs of 34%, on top of their already record setting Tariffs, Non-Monetary Tariffs, Illegal Subsidization of companies, and massive long term Currency Manipulation, despite my warning that any country that Retaliates against the U.S. by issuing additional Tariffs, above and beyond their already existing long term Tariff abuse of our Nation, will be immediately met with new and substantially higher Tariffs, over and above those initially set. Therefore, if China does not withdraw its 34% increase above their already long term trading abuses by tomorrow, April 8th, 2025, the United States will impose ADDITIONAL Tariffs on...

The Trump administration came to the Supreme Court on Friday morning, asking the justices to allow it to enforce an executive order that directs government officials to quickly remove, without a hearing, noncitizens who are designated as members of a Venezuelan gang. The order relies on a 1798 law that until now has only been invoked during wartime. Earlier this month, Chief U.S. District Judge James Boasberg barred the federal government from removing any of the alleged members of the gang, or anyone else, under the Alien Enemies Act. In 40-page filing, Acting Solicitor General Sarah Harris told the justices...

NBC: "Just hours ago, President Trump called me to tell me he is 'pissed off' with Russia's President Putin and threatened to impose secondary tariffs on Russia's oil."

Speaking to reporters from the Oval Office, the president focused on the successful U.S. airstrikes in Yemen more than the discussion of military plans in a commercial messaging app where a journalist was invited by mistake.President Trump decried concerns over the transmission of military plans on the messaging app Signal as a “witch hunt,” borrowing the language of persecution that he has applied to the many investigations that have targeted him and his campaign over the years as he sought to deny the seriousness of the leak.The president addressed reporters from the Oval Office on the same day top members...

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump’s Health Secretary pick, just launched a bombshell move to ban Big Pharma ads on TV, and it’s a direct strike at the heart of networks like CNN, MSNBC, and CNBC—leaving Trump supporters cheering and the left in panic. In a video, Patrick Bet-David exposes the dirty truth: “Big Pharma is keeping Cable TV in business. 75% of ad revenue on cable television comes from the Pharmaceutical Industry.” That’s $4.5 billion in 2022 alone, per MediaRadar, propping up these networks while they push drugs like Ozempic.

In the ultimate act of seeking to 'Trump-proof' the NATO alliance, even well into the future, Europe's largest military powers are now drawing up plans to keep the alliance strong in case of a US exit from leadership over the next five to ten years. Informal discussions have involved the United Kingdom, France, Germany and the Nordic countries, who are envisioning a managed transfer of power and leadership reshaping the NATO bloc. Financial Times writes that "The discussions are an attempt to avoid the chaos of a unilateral US withdrawal from Nato, a fear sparked by President Donald Trump’s repeated...

Trump signs EO stating that he will IGNORE all lower court rulings until SCOTUS rules on the Constitutionality of activist Judges attempting to usurp Executive power.

Former Trump Senior Economic Adviser Stephen Moore told Newsmax on Wednesday that the United States might be in for "a little rough sledding" over the next few weeks, when it comes to President Donald Trump's tariffs, but they will ultimately bring about "freer and fairer trade." "I'm an old-fashioned free trade guy and I've always believed in the kind of [former President Ronald] Reagan vision that North America should be one big free-trade zone," Moore said on Newsmax's "Wake Up America." "Trump did negotiate a good trade deal in his first term, the [United States-Mexico-Canada] free trade deal, so I'd...

Anyone who thinks President Trump's mesmerizing hold over the GOP will slip if his poll numbers slide is missing one of his biggest innovations in American politics: The creation of a cash-flush political operation that has raked in around a half-billion dollars — about the same amount the GOP's House and Senate campaign arms spent during the entirety of the last midterm campaign. Why it matters: It's unheard of for a president not running for reelection to raise that kind of money. But the cash is just one piece of a bigger power play that's arguably the most powerful, well-funded...

For years, the CIA has categorically denied the existence of secret prisons—or black sites—on U.S. soil. However, a now-deleted list of government-owned properties suggests that the agency may have indeed owned a facility used for secretive operations. The list included government properties that the General Services Administration, at the direction of the Trump administration’s DOGE, planned to sell. Among the properties on the list was a highly sensitive complex in Northern Virginia long tied to CIA operations. The GSA published the list on Thursday but quickly took it down the next day, according to Wired and Bloomberg. “Obviously, someone did...

President Trump signs Executive Order holding those who challenge administration policies in court financially liable when they lose the case. The lawfare war being waged against the Trump administration (or more like we, the people) will now have a serious financial ramifications in the event that they lose. Under this new directive, individuals or entities that file lawsuits against the Trump administration could face substantial financial penalties if they lose their cases. This initiative is seen as a way to deter what the administration perceives as frivolous lawsuits that challenge its policies, which Trump argues hinder effective governance and public...

Not unexpectedly, U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson has ruled that unelected bureaucrat, Hampton Dellinger, the U.S. Office of Special Counsel head has more unilateral power within the executive branch of government than President Donald Trump. This ruling stems from the same mindset as former AG Bill Barr, former FBI Director James Comey, former Deputy AG Sally Yates, former IC Inspector General Michael Atkinson, and the entire organization of professional Lawfare activists that includes Mary McCord, Andrew Weissmann and Norm Eisen. The collective belief is that in the modern “continuity of government” framework, the bureaucracy of government controls things, not...

Democrats have learned nothing from the backlash to their constant lies about then-President Joe Biden’s mental decline. In an interview with Puck, onetime top Biden aide Michael LaRosa admitted the obvious: The staff knew that the ex-prez’s “age was an issue” from “Day 1” and opted for “gaslighting” the public when his behavior raised alarms. Yet in the same breath, he pushed back against calling this a “coverup” as “a little harsh.” Not remotely harsh enough, in fact: That the Bidenites, Dems in general and most of the press kept up the deception so long has earned them a lasting...

Former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre spoke about how "shocking" it was to see Democratic Party leaders criticize then-President Joe Biden to the point where he stepped down from the race. A month into President Donald Trump’s second term in office, the Democratic Party is still reeling from the 2024 race. One of the race’s most contentious aspects was how leaders and influential figures in the party demanded Biden relinquish the party’s nomination after his disastrous debate performance last June. At an event at the Institute of Politics at Harvard University, Jean-Pierre was asked to share an anecdote about...
