Democrats Face Investigation Over Alleged Threats Against Trump, Musk, and Others. https://thenationalpulse.com/2...ump-musk-and-others/ U.S. Attorney Ed Martin is initiating inquiries into senior Democratic lawmakers over comments perceived as potentially threatening President Donald J. Trump and Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) chief Elon Musk. Specifically, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Representative Robert Garcia (D-CA) received inquiry letters from Martin, the top federal prosecutor in Washington, D.C. Martin’s investigation is focused on public comments made by the two national Democratic lawmakers in public settings. For Garcia, Martin is demanding an explanation for remarks the California Democrat made during a recent CNN appearance. During the interview, Garcia made derogatory remarks regarding Musk and pushed for a more aggressive approach to fighting DOGE, saying, “What the American public want is for us to bring actual weapons to this bar fight,” Garcia said. “This is an actual fight for democracy.” In the case of Schumer, Martin is seeking additional details regarding the Senate Democrat leader’s speech during a pro-abortion rally in 2020, during which he threatened consequences for Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh. “I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions,” he threatened. Although Schumer later retracted those remarks on the Senate floor, Martin’s letter requested further clarification, emphasizing that Schumer’s comments were made outside the protective bounds of the U.S. Capitol. On social media, Garcia responded by accusing President Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ) of targeting him for his criticisms. Meanwhile, Schumer’s office has yet to respond to Martin’s multiple inquiries, as noted in the U.S. Attorney’s most recent letter. Notably, the Democratic Party’s violent and threatening rhetoric appears to have inspired at least two assassination attempts against President Trump during the 2024 presidential campaign. The first attempt on Trump’s life resulted in a supporter of the President, Corey Comperatore, being killed by the would-be presidential assassin. _________________________ | |||

Catherine Herridge interview with Rubio I don't know how to embed X videos, so here's a link. Catherine Herridge is given the honor of doing the first long-form interview with SoS Rubio (she's an independent journalist on X, no longer with CBS). The content covers the range of signifiant foreign policy interviews, is well conducted by Herridge. What impressed me the most is Rubio's astounding ability to answer any question very rapidly, with no "ums", no dead air, with perfectly correct grammar. Maybe it comes from being in the Senate, but I believe he has had extremely good media training, perhaps over years. I've had a couple of media training courses, and everything that was taught is put into practice PERFECTLY by Rubio. he does not misspeak, he sticks to the desired message, he redirects the question to allow him to give the answer he wants to give. And he always attributes all policy decisions to the President. Bottom line: the media have severely distorted the whole Ukraine thing. Give a listen; it's 42 minutes. It's really a bravura performance. _________________________ “Remember, remember the fifth of November!" | |||

Yes, it seems like he was born for this job. Outstanding choice by DJT, reflected in his 99 votes for confirmation, but most of all by his performance and his loyalty. _________________________ “Remember, remember the fifth of November!" | |||

Does anyone knows what's going on with Feb. 26th? SCOTUS pauses Trump administration's effort to fire head of whistleblower protection agency through Feb. 26th By Louis Casiano | Fox News Published February 21, 2025 9:07pm EST The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday paused the Trump administration's efforts to dismiss the head of an independent agency charged with investigating whistleblower claims as the president seeks to remake the federal government. The decision allows Hampton Dellinger, a Biden appointee, to remain as head of the Office of Special Counsel at least through Feb. 26. The high court kept that deadline in place and won't take any further action until then. The Trump administration asked the court to overturn a lower court's temporary reinstatement of Dellinger. A district court hearing is scheduled to consider whether to extend the pause on Dellinger’s firing. Liberal justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson voted to outright deny the administration’s request to OK the firing. Conservative justices Neil Gorsuch and Samuel Alito dissented, saying the lower court overstepped, and they cast doubt on whether courts have the authority to restore to office someone the president has fired. While acknowledging that some officials appointed by the president have contested their removal, Gorsuch wrote in his opinion that "those officials have generally sought remedies like backpay, not injunctive relief like reinstatement." The dispute over Dellinger is the first legal challenge to reach the Supreme Court after several firings under the Trump administration. Dellinger sued the Trump administration in Washington, D.C., federal court after his Feb. 7 firing. "I am glad to be able to continue my work as an independent government watchdog and whistleblower advocate," Dellinger said in a statement after Friday's proceedings. "I am grateful to the judges and justices who have concluded that I should be allowed to remain on the job while the courts decide whether my office can retain a measure of independence from direct partisan and political control." He has argued that, by law, he can only be dismissed from his position for job performance problems, which were not cited in an email dismissing him from his post. Trump began his second term in the White House with a flurry of executive orders and directives that have since been targeted by a flood of legal challenges. Since Jan. 20, dozens of lawsuits have been filed over the administration's actions, including the president's birthright citizenship order, immigration policies, federal funding freezes, federal employee buyouts, Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency and legal action against FBI and DOJ employees.

AP Sues Trump Officials Over White House Ban, Citing ‘Targeted Attack’ on Free Press The Associated Press filed a federal lawsuit against three Trump Administration staffers on Friday over the outlet being banned from the Oval Office due to its refusal to use the term “Gulf of America.” Friday’s lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., named Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, Deputy Chief of Staff Taylor Budowich, and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles as defendants. “The press and all people in the United States have the right to choose their own words and not be retaliated against by the government,” the AP said in its lawsuit. “The Constitution does not allow the government to control speech. Allowing such government control and retaliation to stand is a threat to every American’s freedom.” The AP is requesting an emergency hearing and a court order declaring the ban unconstitutional; the judge in the case is Judge Trevor McFadden, who was appointed by President Trump, CNN reported. The Trump-AP feud started on Feb. 11, when the outlet was first barred from an Oval Office press conference the president held alongside Elon Musk. AP Executive Editor Julie Pace said the outlet was blocked from the press conference because it was continuing to use the term “Gulf of Mexico,” rather than Gulf of America, following President Trump’s executive order renaming the gulf on government contracts, maps and other documents. “Nobody has the right to go into the Oval Office and ask the president of the United States questions,” Leavitt said last week. “That is an invitation that is given.” Later, on Feb. 14, the White House said the AP was indefinitely banned from the Oval Office. “While their right to irresponsible and dishonest reporting is protected by the First Amendment, it does not ensure their privilege of unfettered access to limited spaces, like the Oval Office and Air Force One,” Budowich said about the decision to indefinitely ban the AP. In response, Pace said it was “a deeply troubling escalation of the administration’s continued efforts to punish the Associated Press for its editorial decisions … It is a plain violation of the First Amendment, and we urge the Trump administration in the strongest terms to stop this practice.” Looking ahead, the legal battle between the Trump Administration and the AP will make for a fascinating case, according to one First Amendment expert. Lee C. Bollinger, president emeritus at Columbia University, told TheWrap earlier this week this will be a free speech issue that enters “unchartered waters,” with both sides having strong arguments in their favor. “It’s true that the government doesn’t have any special obligations to allow access under the First Amendment to government activities,” Bollinger explained. “However, if the government does choose to have press briefings — and there is a long tradition of that — it should not be able to punish particular members of the press, especially established members like the AP, from being present, based upon their viewpoints. That would be a new First Amendment case, drawing on classic First Amendment principles.” https://www.yahoo.com/news/ap-...-over-220242702.html It's funny, how they immediately adopted Denali under Obama! | |||

Anti-Gunners Clutching Pearls Over Trump's 2A Executive Order The results of Attorney General Pam Bondi's investigation into the Biden administration's executive actions on guns and its defense of federal gn laws won't be in for another couple of weeks, but anti-gun activists are already putting their own spin on what's likely to emerge from her findings. Brady's Kris Brown spoke to to WGN-TV about the potential impact of Trump's executive action, as well as some of the other moves we've seen from his administration, including the shuttering of the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention. "There is no possible rationale for closing that office, unless what you want to do is simply ignore that gun violence is the number one killer of our kids, and to me, that is horrific because it doesn’t," Brown claimed, adding, "Not having the office does not change that. It only worsens it.” Brown's comments are, of course, absolute nonsense. The biggest rationale for ending the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention is that it never really about reducing "gun violence", but promoting gun control (and providing cushy federal jobs to anti-2A activists). It's silly for Brown to claim that scrapping the office means that either "gun violence" or violent crime will increase. Reported homicides were already trending down when Biden created the office in the fall of 2023, and there's no evidence whatsoever that anything Biden did through executive actions led to a further drop in reported homicides around the country last year. In addition to her bluster on Biden's gun control office, Brown also tried to put her spin on the likely undoing of Biden's executive actions on guns. [Brown] said Biden-era reforms like background checks and restrictions on who can purchase weapons, helped to strengthen public safety. Undoing them, she said, has the potential to endanger public safety. “We’re not a lawless nation, so there should be no reason, not to have laws that actually save lives,” Brown said. “In fact, laws like the Brady background check, which stands for a proposition that something like 97% of Americans agree with, that. If you go in to buy a firearm and you’re a convicted felon, you should be denied that firearm, right?” Background checks on retail purchase of firearms won't be going away as a result of Bondi's examination of Biden's EO's, though we'll hopefully see the formal rescinding of the ATF rule expanding who is "engaged in the business" of dealing firearms, which was put in place with the goal of requiring almost every gun owner who offered a single firearm from their collection for sale to obtain a federal firearms license. Brown failed to inform WGN or its viewers that the rule in question was already in legal jeopardy before Trump's EO, along with the other attempts by ATF and the Biden administration to bypass Congress and enact new gun control laws in the guise of regulations. The Supreme Court has already struck down the bump stock ban imposed by the Trump administration, and they're set to issue their ruling on the agency's regulation treating unfinished frames and receivers as fully functional firearms later this spring. Legal challenges to the ATF's rules on pistol stabilizing braces and forced reset triggers have also been largely successful in the lower courts, but those rules will hopefully be undone by Trump and Bondi in the months ahead. I'm sure that Brown is legitimately bothered by the likely demise of the Biden-era regulations foisted on gun owners and the firearms industry, but I suspect that what really frosts her cookies is the fact that the gun control lobby has lost its influence on the White House. Gun control groups like Brady, Everytown, and Giffords had no better friend in Washington, D.C. than Biden himself, while Trump has promised to protect our Second Amendment rights while using the DOJ to target violent offenders. The anti-gunners no longer have their perch inside the executive branch, but that's cause for celebration, not consternation, for those of us who reject the idea that fighting "gun violence" has to stop and end with targeting lawful gun owners and our right to keep and bear arms. https://bearingarms.com/camedw...a1cb93&lctg=21115632 | |||

I don't think any of us has seen an administration WORK like this one in our lifetimes. Doing substantial things to actually benefit the majority of us who voted them in. Its great to see the House and Senate actually put the President's plans in action. The first month has been one home run after another. Rock on #47! | |||

John Thune pushes back at Trump Administration Ambitious Cuts Is this RINO going to be a problem? Senate Majority Leader John Thune insisted this week that “bygones were bygones” between himself and president — but drew clear policy distinctions between the two during an exclusive sitdown with The Post. “We have a very good relationship,” Thune, 64, said Thursday from his Capitol Hill office, but quickly took issue with some of the president’s most ambitious spending cut plans, calling Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth call for annual 8% cuts to the U.S. military budget unrealistic. “I don’t see that happening. I think that that’s obviously going to be subject to what Congress has to say,” he said Thursday from his office on Capitol Hill, noting that something like Hegseth’s “Iron Dome for America” would not come cheap. “If you’re going to achieve that, you have to raise the top line [spending],” said Thune, who replaced the ailing Sen. Mitch McConnell in November. President Trump has vowed that popular entitlements like Medicaid would be spared from the Department of Governmental Efficiency chopping block, but Thune appeared considerably more open to entitlement cuts. But it is unlikely Department of Governmental Efficiency head Elon Musk’s goal of axing $1 trillion in federal spending could be achieved without hitting the popular spending programs, Thune said. “It’s hard to see how, given the fact that entitlements now represent and if you include interest on the debt, entitlement, 73% of the federal budget,” Thune said. But Thune — who famously called on Trump to drop out of the 2016 race — also called himself a “big supporter of DOGE” and the radical spending cuts it had promised. “I think you have to be willing to go places that we haven’t gone before,” he said. The South Dakota Republican is staring down a possible government shutdown next month and what will likely be contentious budget bill negotiations, and days ago, the president endorsed a budget proposal from House Republicans over the rival Senate one preferred by Thune — without any advance warning. “We’ve known all along,” he preferred the House version, said Thune — who Trump once ripped as a “RINO” — Republican in Name Only and called for a primary against him in 2022. On the foreign front, Thune disagreed with Trump’s declaration that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is a “dictator.” “I wouldn’t characterize it that way,” said Thune, who also disagreed with Trump’s suggestion that Ukraine began the war with Russia. And was skeptical about removing sanctions on Russia. “The sanctions are there for a reason. They’re there to try and help be a remedy for bad behavior,” he said. He also reaffirmed the US commitment to mutual defense of NATO nations, days after reports in German media said a withdrawal in Eastern Europe was a discussion point during negotiations between Russia and the United States Tuesday in Riyadh. Thune expressed wariness about his Democratic counterpart New York Democratic Chuck Schumer, calling him “a very political creature.” “I think he’s, he is very motivated by politics,” Thune said. Thune’s capitol leadership office — complete with wood burning fireplace — was richly adorned with paintings of former Republican presidents George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush and Ronald Reagan, which hung directly over his desk. There was no painting of Trump. “We’ll get around to it,” Thune said. __________________ Member NRA Member NYSRPA | |||
