Ever since President Trump has been back in office, Democrats have been working hard to impede his success, not that you can blame them. They realize they have nothing to offer US citizens, and they have concluded that all they can do as a party is delay Trump’s obviously popular agenda. Their only success during the four years of Biden was in failing. So, they have opted for the Return of the Roadblock, starring Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, and a cast of hundreds of ignoramuses. Leaders are supposed to offer solutions and find compromises that get things done. Democrats offer...

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/04/breaking-department-defense-branch-chief-caught-undercover-video/Nicolas Turza, the Department of Defense Branch Chief who was caught on undercover video calling President Trump “illegitimate” has resigned. The O’Keefe Media Group on Wednesday released undercover video of a Defense Department Branch Chief attacking President Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Nicolas Turza, a Department of Defense Branch Chief, called President Trump “illegitimate” and vowed to “resist him, everything he does.” Turza also attacked Hegseth and said the 44-year-old is “insanely young” and unfit to lead. “The same guy who tried to overthrow an election is just, like, truly setting us down a path of dictatorship. He’s illegitimate....

Whether they admit it or not, most Democrat leaders are Marxists, and they justify their resistance to Trump’s reforms on the basis of Marxist ideas. ... In theory, Marxism seizes wealth from the rich and transfers it to workers. In reality, in every case where Marxism has actually been tried, wealth and the means to produce it are controlled by the State, not the workers. ... Democrats resist Trump’s reforms because he aims to expose the lie of Marxism: the fraudulent idea that Democrat programs for the poor have done the poor any good. Instead, they have enriched Democrat leaders...

Erica Chenoweth, Nonviolent Action Lab leader, joined the training. The lab is part of Harvard’s Ash Center for Democratic Governance. Deleted webpages reveal USAID and the State Department among its top donors. Chenoweth uses “they/them” pronouns. Chenoweth’s personal resume show...

Resistance or muscle-strengthening exercise, using weights or the body itself, may be the best type of exercise for tackling insomnia in older age, suggests a pooled data analysis of the available research. Aerobic exercise or a mix of strength, aerobic, balance, and flexibility exercises also seem to be effective. The researchers scoured research databases for relevant clinical trials, published up to October 2022, that compared physical exercise with routine activities, usual care, other non-physical activity, or health education in people formally diagnosed with insomnia, using the Global Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (GPSQI). The types of exercise covered by the studies...

**SNIP** Fox News Digital compiled a list of the groups, state attorneys general, cities or states, and individuals who have launched lawsuits against the Trump administration's executive actions. The list includes the various groups and individuals challenging the Trump administration in court, as well as the executive order or proclamation that sparked the suit.

Doe; Brazilian Worker Center, Inc.; La Colaborativa (Executive Order: Protecting the Meaning and...

@oversightpr obtained a copy of a secret pact between 22 blue states, DC, and San Francisco which was signed just 3 days after Trump’s landslide victory, to resist his plan to end birthright citizenship. Instead of fixing gas prices, groceries, or public safety, Democrats’ top priority was ensuring that children of illegal aliens from the Biden Border Crisis could become future voters.

An attorney for the whistleblower who sparked President Trump’s impeachment now says he has two clients prepared to sue if the Trump administration follows through with sanctions against the International Criminal Court. Mark Zaid told The Post he represents a pair of US law professors who intend to file a lawsuit if sanctions prohibit or criminalize their pro bono advisory work. Trump signed an executive order this month that allows sanctions against anyone involved in an ICC investigation of Americans or US allies. The order was issued in response to a decision from the court’s appeals chamber that authorized an...

They were going to launder money to international “democracy” NGOs and media outlet to attack President Trump. This is why they’re melting down big time.

Though headlines and analysts repeatedly claim that the anti-Trump "resistance" is in disarray and that Democrats are struggling to form a coherent message against the administration, many of the cogs in the resistance’s machine continue to turn as though it were the first Trump administration. The only difference is that, this time, Trump is having none of it and driving through his agenda at such a pace that his opposition can’t get its footing. During the first Trump term, the so-called “deep state” mounted consistent opposition and managed to effectively obstruct his keynote projects. Leakers inside the Department of Homeland...

FBI leaders going full “we were just following orders” as accountability for turning the agency into a full-time Anti-Trump operation looms. ... Julie Kelly. = Expecting a bloodbath at FBI today and tomorrow. My guess is acting FBI director Brian Driscoll will be gone by this evening for defying a direct order seeking names of FBI employees—perhaps more than 6,000—involved in Jan 6 cases. Hard to see how James Dennehy, who runs the NY field office, keeps his job after sending defiant email to colleagues over the weekend promising to “dig in” and not step down or follow orders. The...

... As President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown grips the Chicago area in fear, a burgeoning resistance movement has also emerged here to challenge — as well as evade — immigration enforcement. From statements of defiance by local leaders to an unofficial network of tips and alerts on various social media sites, Chicagoland has become an epicenter of opposition to the president’s immigration agenda. Nonprofits have ramped up education campaigns to inform undocumented residents of their rights. A Chicago organization has launched a multilingual mobile “Know Your Rights” app, which includes an audio recitation of rights; the app was designed by...

For those who are trying to soft-pedal Hezbollah's evil, here are some sections from its 1985 manifesto:No one can imagine the importance of our military potential as our military apparatus is not separate from our overall social fabric. Each of us is a fighting soldier. And when it becomes necessary to carry out the Holy War, each of us takes up his assignment in the fight in accordance with the injunctions of the Law, and that in the framework of the mission carried out under the tutelage of the Commanding Jurist.Let us put it truthfully: the sons of Hezbollah know...

Trump is getting more of a honeymoon in Term 2 than in Term 1, and while part of it is due to the shock of the 2024 win, a lot of it has become tactics. The first stage of the plan is to infiltrate his decision-making loop and to make his various policies backfire. That’s why it’s helpful to understand what malicious compliance is. The last ‘resistance’ movement among federal employees focused on more direct sabotage, at least initially this time they’re using malicious compliance, that is to say they’re implementing executive orders in the most destructive fashion. And then...

Left-wing radicals have been mobilizing near the nation’s capital ahead of the January 20 inauguration, which has been moved indoors. Since summer, we have tracked D.C.’s radical networks—their movements, methods, and potential for violence. After George Floyd’s death in 2020, these groups learned that street protests could yield political gains. Now, with Donald Trump returning to the White House, they’re weighing their options. This network is decentralized, adaptable, and steeped in organizing social unrest. Black Lives Matter messaging is fading, replaced by anti-Israel rhetoric. As Inauguration Day approaches, Communist militants and members of Antifa-aligned hubs have suggested storming the Capitol,...

There's a famous line from the film "On Golden Pond" by the great Katharine Hepburn: "The loons! The loons! They're welcoming us back." Well, the loons are back in D.C., but they're not here to welcome Donald Trump as he prepares for his inauguration on Monday; they're here to scream, thrash, make a commotion, and just generally behave like escaped mental patients. It's not like they haven't done it before—remember 2017, when they engaged in tasteless P-Hat protests around the city and the nation as a whole? So brave. (Warning: some of the signs and slogans are profane and nasty.)...

A poll conducted by RMG Research reveals a startling number of federal government managers who say they will actively oppose the incoming administration when Donald Trump is inaugurated on January 20. The Daily Signal reports that RMG Research polled three separate segments of the population including what it calls the “Elite 1%” with postgraduate degrees, earning more than $150,000 annually and live in highly populated areas, “Main Street Americans” who represent roughly 75% of the U.S. population and, finally, federal managers who live near the nation’s Capital city and earn $75,000 or more annually. When asked if they would most...

Fanell Sawyer keeps replaying in her head the morning she learned Donald Trump had won the election. She was at home in Georgia, ready to start another day working remotely in customer service for an insurance company, when her teenage daughter turned to her and uttered seven words that felt like a gut punch. “Mom,” she said, “This country doesn’t care about women.” ... { scrolling down to the real story } ... This weekend, demonstrators will travel to D.C. and cities across the country for the People’s March, organized by leading civil rights, racial justice and reproductive health organizations....

rt 19m 47s Description Pentagon Advisor Reveals Conversation "to Explore What We Can Do” to ‘Protect People from Trump’ “I’ve been in conversation with a couple of retired generals to explore what we can do,” Jamie Mannina, advisor to the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the Pentagon, former FBI Special Agent, and self-proclaimed “spy hunter,” disclosed to an undercover OMG Journalist his plans to utilize irregular strategies to undermine Donald Trump’s presidency.
