At 4207 meters above sea level on Hawaii's Mauna Kea, photographer Andrew McCarthy set out on a challenging climb. His goal was to capture a rare sight, Saturn slipping behind the moon. From the peak of the dormant volcano, he finally witnessed and photographed the stunning event, bringing a piece of the cosmos down to earth.

Schumer Declares He's All-In on 24/7 Trump #Resistance As His Party Threatens to Boot Him Out of Leadership

—Ace

Schumer is now vowing he will never, ever pass a Trump budget or CR again.

That's gonna be a problem down the road -- for the Democrats as well as Trump. The country is sick to death of 24/7/365 #Resistance.

They voted for Trump's agenda. If Democrats continue this, the public may will rebuke them in 2026.

But this is going to be a problem for us for the next year and a half:

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer asserted his party's role is to take down President Donald Trump's numbers as Democrats face a popularity crisis.

Polls published by CNN/SSRS and NBC News on Sunday found that the Democratic Party has hit all-time lows in popularity among voters -- 29% and 27% respectively -- while Trump's approval rating is tied with its highest point across both of his terms at 47%, per NBC News. Schumer, speaking on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," said that weakening Trump's popularity would help Democrats mitigate his ability to accomplish his agenda.

"We are fighting on all of the fronts to go after Trump, not have a circular firing squad, which Democrats tend to do, particularly when there's such an enemy as Trump, so that the basic premise that we are going after him on -- and [House Minority Leader] Hakeem [Jeffries] and I are working on this very closely together ... is that Trump is taking things away from the middle class, from you, to pay for tax cuts for the rich," Schumer said.

Despite Schumer characterizing himself as being in strong alignment with Jeffries, the House minority leader refused to weigh in on whether the Senate needed "new leadership" on Friday after Schumer on Thursday signaled support for passing a GOP-backed government funding bill to avert a partial shutdown.

"And we have so many different areas to go after him on. And we're already bringing his numbers down. We'll keep bringing them down more and more and more. If, you know, six months from now, his numbers are really low, he'll have not only less popularity, he'll have less authority," Schumer continued. "That's our job and we're doing it. And there are going to be some bigger issues where we're going to make a stand as well ... You got to do it in a smart way and not let him drive you into a trap and let your anger at him end up hurting you."

Schumer also made similar remarks during a Saturday New York Times interview when asked about potential primary challenges in New York in 2028.

"I am focused on bringing Trump's numbers down, his popularity down, exposing what he has done to America and what he will do," he said. "That's my focus right now and that's what I'm focusing on 24/7. You know, three years from now is a long way to speculate. I believe that my hard work against Trump will pay off."

Nearly two-thirds of Democrats want their congressional lawmakers to avoid making compromises with Trump, according to the NBC News poll.

Voters have even worse perceptions of congressional Democrats than the party in general, CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten said on Monday.

"Holy Toledo, 'voters' views of the Democrats in Congress:' Among all voters, disapprove 68%," Enten said. "And look at the approved number, just 21%, even lower than the Democratic Party at large. This is the lowest on record for Democrats, according to Quinnipiac University polling."

Enten also stated that "the plurality of Democratic voters disapprove of Democrats in Congress at 49%, and just 40% approve." calling the numbers "horrible" for the party.

Schumer makes his fight-fight-fight pledge as the progressive extremist media issues a Code Red on Schumer, according to Ed Morrissey.

Ask not for whom the Journolist tolls, Chuck ... it tolls for thee.

Earlier, I wondered whether a revolt among House Democrats would impact Chuck Schumer's standing in party leadership. Perhaps we should pay more attention to Democrat house media. The backlash to Schumer's fold-o-rama on the continuing resolution has become a new talking point among the Left's favorite media outlets, from MSNBC on down.


The Daily Beast, for instance, took a break from smearing Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) to breathlessly report that the Democrats' "party civil war spirals." They covered the first demand from a House Democrat for Schumer to resign from leadership...


Politico follows up today to note how "Schumer bashing has gone mainstream." They also pick up on Ivey's demand, but reports that it's now open season on Schumer within the Democrat Party...

LOL, Politico thinks that until AOC got mad at him, bashing Schumer was not "mainstream," but fringe.

The Daily Beast took note of Schumer's treatment too, in an article titled "MSNBC Forces Chuck Schumer to Sit Through Brutal Supercut of His Critics." HuffPo featured Nancy Pelosi's attack on Schumer, reporting the "shade" she tossed his way as Politico also reported; The New Republic did as well earlier today. Salon reported on J.B. Pritzker's "liberal anger" over Schumer's fade.

It certainly looks like the Journolist Bat Signal has gone out.

Pelosi has knocked Schumer for a second time.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi continued to criticize Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer Tuesday, suggesting he voluntarily relinquished Democrats' leverage in the government funding fight.

"I myself don't give away anything for nothing," Pelosi told reporters during a San Francisco town hall on Republican lawmakers' alleged cuts to Medicaid -- despite no existing proposal from GOP lawmakers to cut the entitlement program. "I think that's what happened the other day."

...

Some congressional Democrats have privately urged New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to launch a primary challenge against Schumer in 2028. Ocasio-Cortez has declined to rule out a Senate bid and has called on Schumer to retire at the end of his current term.

"Schumer has been in politics for a long time, and I would hope that this is his final term, and he opens it up for someone new," Ocasio-Cortez said.


Leftwing Narrative-Enforcement Organization Axios says that Schumer's standing with Democrats is lower than ebola.

Why it matters: Some House members are urging Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) behind closed doors to mount a primary bid against the New York senator in 2028.

"From the threads I am on, [people are] pissed off ... and not just the typical lefties," one House Democrat told Axios on the condition of anonymity to share details of members' private communications.

A senior House Democrat said of their colleagues' mood toward Schumer: "His popularity is hovering somewhere between Elon Musk and the Ebola virus."

A third House Democrat who represents a swing district, when asked about Schumer, responded sarcastically: "Who?"

...

The first House Democrat told Axios that people are "mainly venting" but also "talking a big game about supporting AOC" in a possible primary challenge.

A fourth House Democrat who spoke on the condition of anonymity described their colleagues' feelings toward Schumer as "big mad."

Zoom in: Schumer is under siege from Democrats' liberal grassroots, postponing stops on his book tour that groups like the Progressive Change Campaign Committee had planned to protest.

Indivisible, another liberal group, has publicly called on Schumer to step down as Senate Democratic leader.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) said in a CNN interview that Senate Democrats should "sit down and take a look and decide whether or not Chuck Schumer is the one to lead in this moment."

Stupid busted-poon DEI skank Sonny Hostin cucked Schumer to his ugly mug.

Male Feminist Alert: Twink Influencer Alleged to Manipulate Women Into Sending Him Nude Pictures and Then Keep Silent About It

—Ace

The surprising thing isn't that a male liberal influencer is a pervert and user.

What's shocking here is that Harry Nisson is... straight? Sort of?!


Sarah Fields
@SarahisCensored

Harry Sisson convinced 11 different women that 'he had no roster' and 'respected them for more than their bodies' while persuading them to send explicit photos of themselves through Snapchat, including one from a domestic abuse survivor.

When the women discovered each other one by one, he called them all insane and attempted to coerce one of them into telling the public that the photos were 'fake.'

A Request to the Reader - Set political differences to the side. I believe both sides of the aisle can agree that this is unacceptable behavior from a man-child with collectively over 2 million followers.

I don't know if asking women for nudes is much of a violation in today's effed-up world.

But keep in mind, this is a Male Feminist who really cares about women.

Vodka Pundit posts this from the allegedly-predatory twink:

Harry Sisson @harryjsisson

America failed women tonight. Trump bullied, assaulted, and stripped reproductive rights away from women all across the country and instead of standing against it, many voted for it. We have failed our daughters, mothers, and sisters.

I'm your ally. Please send your tits.

Left Openly Conducting Terrorism Against Tesla and Elon Musk; Democrats Refuse to Condemn

—Ace

The antifa left needs to be dealt with, like Hamas -- once and for all.

A website called "Dogequest" has reportedly published the personal details of Tesla owners nationwide, exposing names, addresses, and phone numbers on an interactive map. The site, which appears to be targeting Tesla drivers due to CEO Elon Musk's ties with the Trump administration, also features a Molotov cocktail as a cursor. The operators claim they will only remove personal information if the individual provides proof they have sold their Tesla.

Key Details:

The website "Dogequest" reportedly doxes Tesla owners and employees of Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), listing personal information and Tesla dealership locations.

The site encourages vandalism of Tesla vehicles, stating it supports "creative expressions of protest."

Recent incidents include vandalism at Tesla dealerships, gunfire attacks in Oregon, and harassment of Cybertruck owners.

Diving Deeper:

The emergence of "Dogequest" comes amid rising hostility toward Tesla owners and dealerships, a trend that has escalated following Elon Musk's high-profile role in the Trump administration. According to a report, the website exposes the names, addresses, and phone numbers of Tesla drivers across the United States while using a Molotov cocktail cursor--a clear symbol of violent intent.

Beyond targeting individual Tesla owners, the site also reveals locations of Tesla dealerships and supercharger stations. One section of the website appears to endorse vandalism, stating that those looking to attack a Tesla "don't need a map" to do so. This rhetoric coincides with increasing reports of Tesla-related attacks, including a woman arrested for throwing an incendiary device at a dealership in Loveland, Colorado, and multiple Tesla locations in Oregon being targeted by gunfire.

...

Legal experts suggest that while doxing itself does not violate a specific federal law, it can lead to criminal charges under harassment, stalking, or invasion of privacy statutes. The Justice Department has not issued a formal statement on the matter, but given the escalating violence against Tesla owners and dealerships, federal authorities may be forced to take action.

Meanwhile, Tesla's stock continues to struggle, dipping another 6% in early trading on Tuesday. Shares have now fallen more than 50% from their post-election high, raising concerns about the company's stability amid this wave of anti-Tesla sentiment.

David Strom proposes that the left has essentially adopted a "modified Al Qaeda" (or Jihadist "Resistance") strategy against Musk -- and America.

Osama and al Qaeda believed that they had History and God on their side, and if they struck the US hard and provoked a war on their own soil, where they had advantages, instead of here in the US, they could prevail. The terrorism was a lure, not the point in itself.

I believe that, consciously or unconsciously, the anarcho-left is pursuing a similar strategy to incite a civil war that will bring down the current US regime. If this sounds insane, recall that less than two years ago it became quite popular on TikTok among liberals to reassess Osama's critique of America and the West and to endorse his tactics to destroy it.

He notes that leftwingers began reading Osama bin Ladin's "Letter to America" -- Osama's threat to America to comply or suffer terrorism -- on TikTok last November. They were openly embracing Al Qaeda tactics.

We have already seen a huge spike in terrorism from trans activists. Many of the attacks on Teslas and Tesla showrooms were done by trans "women," and a number of mass shootings have been as well. "Kill TERFs" has become a common slogan as well.

Relatively normal AWFLs are fantasizing about violent resistance, and while they won't do it themselves, they have already cheered it on, up to an including endorsing Luigi Mangione's cause and helping fund his very expensive defense.

As far as I can tell, there is no backlash among Democrats to the increasing violence, which instead has inspired a bunch of "I don't endorse violence, but..." tut-tutting. That is, in fact, a tacit endorsement of violence, and we know that the Democrat-controlled ActBlue is raising money for the extremist wing of the Party that commits these terroristic acts.

San Francisco Gay "Pride" Event Scrambling to Find New Funding After Woke Corporations Close Their Wallets

—Ace

Cancelling the funding for PRIDE MONTH?!!?

Three months before PRIDE MONTH?!!?



A host of longtime sponsors have begun backing out of their involvement in San Francisco's 2025 gay "Pride" celebrations, SFGATE reported.

LOL, GFY.

San Francisco Pride, a nonprofit that host's the city's annual pride event, has recently been scrambling for other methods to raise $300,000 for this year's festivities, according to SFGATE. Notably, the news comes amid President Donald Trump's ongoing efforts to crack down on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts nationwide.

The government was essentially funding all of this through DEI grants, which passed through "Non"-governmental organizations and paid-off corporations. Now that that money is drying up, the left doesn't have a trillion in funds embezzled from the taxpayer to play with.

San Francisco Pride's executive director, Suzanne Ford, told the outlet that she was "really disappointed" by the sponsors' decisions. Sponsors pulling out of the pride event include Comcast, Anheuser-Busch, the company behind Budweiser and Beck's beer; wine company La Crema, and Diageo, a beverage company known for producing Guinness, Ford told KTVU-TV in an interview published March 15.

The sponsors all cited a shortage of funds when informing San Francisco Pride that they were backing out of partaking in the 2025 pride events, and none of them mentioned the current political climate in the U.S., according to SFGATE. Still, Ford added that it was "very abnormal" for several longtime sponsors to suddenly drop their support for the event.

A few sponsors pull their support every year, she said, but they typically do so after a series of conversations with the nonprofit, the outlet reported.

"I just interpreted that companies are making decisions that at this time it's not good to be sponsoring Pride," Ford told SFGATE. "I think in this political environment that they thought that was a risky decision. But that's just me reading the tea leaves. I think for a long-term sponsor not to sponsor us, they are responding to what we are."

...

"La Crema remains fully committed to the LGBTQ+ community," A spokesperson for La Crema said in a statement shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation. "While we had to scale back our SF Pride activation this year, it was never our intention to step away entirely and we are still in ongoing conversations with event organizers on how we plan to participate. We will continue to support Pride, both nationally and in our backyard, and continue our long-standing advocacy partnership with Equality California."

San Francisco Pride, Comcast, Anheuser-Busch and Diageo did not respond to requests for comment from the DCNF.

Domestic Terrorists Firebomb Tesla Businesses as the Leftwing Media Makes Excuses for Insurrection

—Ace

#PunchAnAntifa.



A person armed with a gun and Molotov cocktails launched a "targeted attack" against a Tesla location in Las Vegas early Tuesday, spray-painting "resist," firing several shots and torching multiple cars, authorities said.

Gunshots and flames erupted at the Tesla Collision Center, at 6260 Badura Ave., at 2:45 a.m. in the latest violent incident involving property associated with Elon Musk, the billionaire Tesla CEO and adviser to President Donald Trump.

"This was a targeted attack against a Tesla facility, " Assistant Sheriff Dori Koren of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department told reporters. "We do believe that it is isolated at this time. We do not believe there is further threat to the general public."

The person wore all black and "used what appeared to be a Molotov cocktails and a firearm to conduct his attack," Koren said."At least five Tesla vehicles were damaged, to include two of which were engulfed in flames," Koren continued.

The attacker "fired three rounds into different Tesla vehicles," and at least one un-ignited Molotov cocktail was recovered from the scene, he said.

The word "RESIST" in all-capital letters was stray-pained in red on the center's doors.

Musk has been the point man for the Trump administration's attempts to drastically reduce federal programs with his Department of Government Efficiency.

Those efforts have coincided with a wave of vandalism nationally that appear to be targeting Tesla vehicles and facilities.

"This level of violence is insane and deeply wrong," Musk said in a statement on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, which he bought in 2022. "Tesla just makes electric cars and has done nothing to deserve these evil attacks."

In a statement Tuesday night, Attorney General Pam Bondi called attacks on Tesla property "nothing short of domestic terrorism," saying the Justice Department has charged several people "with that in mind," including in cases that carry five-year minimum sentences.

"We will continue investigations that impose severe consequences on those involved in these attacks, including those operating behind the scenes to coordinate and fund these crimes," she said.

More police will be assigned to Tesla locations around Las Vegas, Koren said.

Special Agent Spencer Evans, chief of the FBI's Las Vegas office, said, "Violent acts like this are unacceptable."

"To those who might think that something like this is justifiable or potentially even admirable, we want to let you know it's a federal crime. We will come after you. We will find you," Evans said.

About 22 hours before the Las Vegas incident and 300 miles away near San Diego, sheriff's deputies drove by a Tesla dealership when "multiple cars were found with swastikas spray-painted on them," officials said.

"In addition, several windows of the dealership building had also been spray-painted with swastikas and profanity," the San Diego County Sheriff's Office said.

And in another overnight incident of suspected arson, police say, two Cybertrucks were damaged by fire at a Tesla dealership in Kansas City, Missouri.

The FBI said it's working with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and Kansas City police to investigate the incident.

"Similar incidents have occurred in several states and the FBI and ATF are coordinating with federal, state, and local law enforcement partners to gather information," the FBI's Kansas City office said in a statement Tuesday.

Some Tesla owners are posting the pictures of brokedown lefty criminals who key their cars.

Emotionally untethered leftists vandalizing Teslas across America are beginning to discover that cops in some places are taking this act of political vandalism seriously. Just ask the bushy-bearded, white-haired man wearing pro-America gear in San Jose or the dad-bod bearded man who may be on the FBI radar for his antics at an airport in Texas.


Tesla owners are striking back, providing social media sites -- and cops -- with inescapable proof of these emotional incontinents vandalizing the cars. Teslas have built-in cameras around the entire vehicle to capture images.

...

Tesla owners in Silicon Valley brought the receipts to San Jose, Calif., police about a man recorded while vandalizing a Tesla Cybertruck at a Costco parking lot. He took his key and slid it down the side of the vehicle.

San Jose Police Chief Paul Joseph says his department found out about the political vandalism when it was highlighted on social media. After the vandalism went viral, they "identified, located, and arrested the individual responsible for this act of felony vandalism."

...


Jeff Nguyen's Tesla was vandalized at Dallas Fort Worth Airport on Friday, March 13. He brought receipts and begged the internet to ID the guy.

That report was highlighted by the Tesla Owners of Silicon Valley group on X.

Trump Administration official, Rick Grennell, lateraled it over to FBI Director Kash Patel.

He also urged X sleuths to help solve the crime.

So far this DFW case is an unsolved mystery, but probably not for long.

President Trump Releases JFK Files

—Ace

Another promise kept.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard praised President Donald Trump after files relating to the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy were released, noting that he is "ushering in a new era of maximum transparency."

"President Trump is ushering in a new era of maximum transparency," Gabbard wrote in a post on X. "Today, per his direction, previously redacted JFK Assassination Files are being released to the public with no redactions. Promises made, promises kept."

The files can be accessed directly by the public at the National Archives website here. The page for the JFK Assassination Records on the National Archives website states:

In accordance with President Donald Trump's directive of March 17, 2025, all records previously withheld for classification that are part of the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection are released.

The National Archives has partnered with agencies across the federal government to comply with the President's directive in support of Executive Order 14176.

As or March 18, 2025, the records are available to access either online at this page or in person, via hard copy or on analog media formats, at the National Archives at College Park, Maryland. As the records continue to be digitized, they will be posted to this page.

The release of the files comes a day after Trump announced that roughly 80,000 files would be released on Tuesday by Gabbard, adding that "people have been waiting for decades for this."

Whig read some of the files last night:

2 I read about 250 or so documents last night. A lot of it involves tradecraft of creating legends for specific agents, shell companies, etc. But at least two interesting things stuck out. One was that Oswald was under continuing surveillance prior to the assassination and two, he met with a guy called Kostikov who was a KGB agent in Mexico City. Kostikov had prior involvement in the KGB executive action aka killing section.

Another two dealt with Howard Hunt and his relationship with the CIA. The first appeared a mundane query over $30k worth of funds sought for reimbursement. The second was over his book clearance. Why the first is interesting is that it seems to imply Hunt was getting funds from the CIA in 1972 in some form. That is when the Watergate burglary happened btw and it was sometimes speculated that it was the CIA that torpedoed Nixon on purpose via Hunt.

Hunt filled the action team with former CIA anti Communist Cuban assets that you can cross check with the multitude of docs released regarding anti Castro Cuban operations and naming specific names.

There is also references to the close relationship between Mossad and CIA at the time.

I don't know what's in the files. This historian below talks about some stuff he's seen in the files. He mentions things I'm pretty sure we already knew, like the discovery of a pristine bullet in the presidential limo which suggests that four shots were fired, not three as the Warren Commission claims, which means that there would have to be a second gunman. He says Oswald didn't have time to shoot four times, because, he says, the pristine bullet would be the one that hit Kennedy in the back, and the next bullet, coming a fraction of a second later, hit Governor Connelly. Too quick a follow-up shot for a bolt-action rifle. The Warren Commission says the same bullet caused a bunch of injuries to both men -- "pausing in mid-air, mind you."

He also says that the files disclose that forensics scientists disputed the Warren Commission theory of the second shooter. Again, I'm pretty sure we knew this, but now we can read the actual documents.

Wednesday Morning Rant

—Joe Mannix

mannixape2.jpg

Poisoned Wells

Big news over the weekend on the propaganda front. VOA, Radio Free Asia, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and various smaller official US state media are no more. Oh, they still exist on paper and the enabling legislation is still there, but Trump ordered the outlets cut to the bone, to do no more than the legally-mandatory minimum. And laid most of them off on Saturday morning, including suspending numerous contracts.

The official US propaganda outlet for foreign lands - sort of - has been suspended and will, like USAID, probably never recover. Barring some change in the law, the next guy can resurrect it if he wants to, but there is probably no point. It was a death strike and it will probably have worked. The order goes far beyond just the United States Agency for Global Media (the office behind VOA and various others).

The Morning Report — 3/ 19 /25

—J.J. Sefton

ChuckDOGEBall.jpg

Good morning kids. I'm sure many of you can cite the exact passage, as you'll forgive me for not being up on the New Testament. But, here goes: "Thank God for my enemies." There are a couple of prime examples this morning that indicate the Democrats have completely ignored the first rule of holes.

Firstly I apologize for inflicting Chuck Schumer on you two days in a row, but this one's a pip, as Archie Bunker might say.

The last thing Schumer wants to do in the coming days and weeks is say something incredibly stupid, condescending, or out-of-touch — anything that would give Republicans, or his colleagues for that matter, political ammunition. He also doesn’t want to say something so stupid, condescending, or out-of-touch that could not only anger conservatives or moderates but, if taken out of context, also Democrats.

And did just that. Though he was seemingly discussing the supposed cabal of oligarchs who control the Republican Party, Schumer still handed the GOP an ad for the century as he mocked people for having the very relatable feeling of hating taxes and the government telling them what to do. . .

. . . “They hate government,” he went on to say before a commercial break. “Government’s a barrier to people — a barrier to stop them from doing things. They want to destroy it. We are not letting them do it and we’re united.” At this point, Schumer should give up and roll over to left-wing Democrats the same way he went belly up for Trump and Republicans. A changing of the guard is likely underway in the Democrat Party, and Wall Street Chuck’s cosplay as a salt-of-the-earth, defender of the People won’t stop what’s coming in 2028 — or even 2026.

Well, let's not all begin administering a venturi effect on our nether regions just yet, but given the fact that tax season is upon us and on top of the trillions of dollars in waste that DOGE has uncovered and the Trump agenda's skyrocketing popularity, Yes please Chuck and Democrats let's have more soundbites just like this!

Plus, let's have more of you Lefties defending terrorists and illegal alien criminals remaining here on our territory. As well as more Tesla dealerships going up in flames, plus the physical assault and "Swatting" of political enemies like Juanita Broddrick now, as the expression of your love of humanity, peace, democracy and law and order, right?

Of course there's always this brand of Democrat peace love and understanding:

Following their rejection at the ballot box in November, trans activists have decided against the idea of moderating their insanity. Instead, they have elected to double down on the most extreme and demented aspects of their ideology. They have devolved to a degree that, if you weren’t paying attention, you might have thought was impossible. We are now at the point where trans activists are embracing cruelty that isn’t even cloaked with the usual lies about “scientific consensus” or anything like that. These people are now endorsing child abuse, without reservation, right out in the open. That’s always what they’ve stood for. Now they’re not even attempting to hide it. In order to understand the depths of depravity, you need to watch the scene that unfolded at a school board meeting on Thursday in Deerfield, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. A woman named Nicole Georgas began by telling the school board that her daughter is a 13-year-old student at a local middle school. And recently, her 13-year-old was forced to share a bathroom with a male student. Watch: Before we play the rest of Nicole Georgas’ statement, it’s worth pointing out that, strangely enough, no one on the Left is calling this situation a “constitutional crisis.” She’s pointing out, correctly, that the state of Illinois is defying Trump’s executive order on gender ideology. And in the process, they’re disregarding the civil rights of children at a systemic level. If you listened to the Left’s complaints about how outrageous it was that the Trump administration ignored a judge’s order when he deported Venezuelan terrorists the other day, you might think that they’d be equally upset about what the state of Illinois is doing in this case. But of course there’s no outrage, because these people are more than happy to ignore orders when they feel like it. And the state of Illinois should lose federal funding immediately as a result. . . To restate: This woman is saying that school officials forced her 13-year-old daughter — and several other young girls — to change in front of a male student in a locker room at a middle school. Those school officials, she said, include the district’s assistant superintendent for student services, the school’s assistant principal, and the director for student services. . . But because there are no good-faith trans activists, you can probably guess how this mother’s statement was received. As soon as she was finished, “boos” rang out in the room. One person asked her why she was “obsessed” with the genitals of children, which is one of those stock arguments these activists use all the time, even though it makes no sense whatsoever. They could be exposing themselves to you and your children in the park, and then when you object to it, they’ll accuse you of being “obsessed.” Then, a few other activists spoke at the school board meeting, and they continued to take cheap shots at the mother. . .

. . . This is a basic moral principle — one of many basic moral principles that trans activists have abandoned. If this school board meeting demonstrates anything, it’s that these people are never going to become more moderate or sensible, no matter how badly they lose national elections. As I’ve pointed out before, most of the adult trans activists who continue in the fight are either trans themselves or have trans kids — or in some cases, both (as we saw at this school board meeting). They will never let it go, because to let it go would be to admit that they’ve maimed and mutilated themselves or their children. That is a level of self-reflection and acceptance that trans activists, as the ultimate narcissists, are simply incapable of achieving.

Yes, thank God for our enemies, now pray that our alleged friends and allies in and out of government have the moral clarity and the stones to face them down and do what needs to be done to defeat them.

It's reassuring that Trump seems to be telling the judiciary to piss up a rope while at least one congressman is pursuing the impeachment of this hack-in-black Boasberg.

Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) has filed Articles of Impeachment against Judge James E. Boasberg, appointed by former President Barack Obama, after he issued a temporary restraining order blocking President Donald Trump from using the Alien Enemies Act to deport illegal alien gang members. . .

. . . The left-wing American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and Soros-linked Democracy Forward sued the Trump administration on behalf of five illegal aliens accused of being gang members to stop the deportations — though planes of nearly 300 gang members had already taken off for El Salvador.

Boasberg issued a temporary restraining order blocking Trump from using the Alien Enemies Act to deport illegal alien gang members. Trump officials said they got the order from Boasberg when the gang members had already landed in El Salvador.

Gill, in a statement on X, claimed Boasberg’s order is “illegal and unconstitutional” and announced Articles of Impeachment against the federal judge whose family has deep ties to Democrats.

Again, it raises the question of the efficacy of relying on corrupt institutions and sadly too many corrupt politicians and others to do the just and moral thing, as opposed to just doing what our enemies do and invoke the precept of "by any means necessary."

And if there is a God of justice and mercy, Schumer and Bernie Sanders would have been reduced to a pile of smoldering ashes in Old Sparky long long ago. But I digress.

Along a similar line, While Schumer and company prove to the American people that their instincts are correct about what their money is funding, California puts a big fat exclamation point on all of the aforementioned:

Okay, wait, I thought they worshiped Dylan Mulvaney. But if the Democrats are anything, they’re full of surprises, as we saw at the California state assembly on Friday. A Democrat assembly member offered a prayer to open the assembly session, as is the time-honored custom, but the prayer wasn’t to any deity that you’d learn about in the average world religions course, even in these latter days of American colleges and universities being reduced to little more than Antifa recruitment centers. The prayer was offered to none other than Beyoncé. . . The Democrat Party has become the party of angry blue-haired people with multiple piercings and a penchant for violence in support of any cause that involves hating America and wanting to destroy it. And now, instead of tacking back to the center and reassuring ordinary Americans that the party hasn’t gone totally insane and is doubling down on supporting everything that is making their lives more difficult (high taxes, rising crime, open borders, the whole nine yards), the Democrats are thinking up new ways to alienate even more Americans. . . Meanwhile, what’s next in the California state assembly? Prayers to Rachel Levine? Or maybe just straight-down prayers to Lucifer? Nothing would surprise us anymore.

Have a great day.

Jeremy Boering Is Out at the Daily Wire

—Ace

Is this important?

Jeremy Boreing, co-founder of the Daily Wire, is stepping down from his role as co-CEO to focus on creative projects for the company, he told staff in a memo obtained by Axios on Tuesday.

Why it matters: Boreing has been with the Daily Wire since its inception in 2015. He helped grow the outlet from a tiny news startup with $4.7 million in seed funding to a media giant valued north of $1 billion last year.

State of play: Caleb Robinson, the company's founding CEO, will become the company's full-time CEO effective immediately. Robinson and Boreing have been co-CEOs since 2019.

Robinson co-founded the company alongside Boreing and the outlet's editor emeritus Ben Shapiro.

In a note to staff, Boreing said he will remain with the company in an advisory role. He will continue to host "Daily Wire Backstage," the company's monthly show featuring Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, Michael Knowles and Andrew Klavan.

He will focus full time on creative projects, including the completion of the Daily Wire's TV series "The Pendragon Cycle," in which he serves as director and executive producer.

Below, a YouTube guy named Ian Carroll -- who seems to be no friend of Boering or Ben Shapiro -- claims he's heard rumors that the resignation is due to vague claims about Boering's "egotism." And also about overspending on his pet entertainment projects, like "The Pendragon Cycle."

He claims the Daily Wire is losing money and is looking to sell out to a big firm.

Vibe Shift: HBO's "White Lotus" Features Trump-Supporting Character Bullied by AWFLs and Dares to Mention That Some "Transgenders" Are Auto-Gynophiles Who Are Sexually Turned On By the Thought of Being Women

—Ace

I don't know about this show except that the first season featured Sydney Sweeney.

I also saw that the creator Mike White, who wrote School of Rock and played Ned Schneibly (the real one), is gay. I imagine he has conventional leftwing politics.

So does this mean that even some of Hollywood's liberals are getting sick of woke sermonizing?

The cultural tides have turned, if HBO's "The White Lotus" is any indication.

A scene from a recent episode of the popular anthology series went viral for its sympathetic portrait of a character whose chic coastal-liberal friends abused and belittled her for -- maybe, possibly -- having voted for Donald Trump in the presidential election.

Surprisingly, it was the vocal Democrats who were the obvious villains of the sequence as they bullied their friend for wrongthink.

It sparked endless online commentary: Is the overbearing, reflexive leftism of the entertainment world really breaking?

That article also mentions a TikToker who the Woke Mob came for, suspecting she may have voted for Trump. The cancellation failed, and she actually gained millions of followers, including Riley Gaines.

The scene described above can be viewed below:

Columbia Janitors Imprisoned By Pro-Hamas Terrorists File Lawsuit with the EEOC; Say That the Hamas Terrorists Drew So Many Swastikas on the Walls The Janitors Threw All the Chalk Away to Stop Further Swastika-Drawings

—Ace

nypostcolumbiaswastikas.jpg

Oh, and they were reprimanded for doing that.

While Columbia covered up, and continues covering up, the Nazi leanings of its leftwing anti-Jew students and the radicals they invite on to campus to ringlead mob violence.

Columbia University is facing a new federal investigation over allegations from two janitors who claim they were unlawfully forced to scrub off swastikas spray-painted on campus before later being attacked and briefly trapped by an anti-Israel "mob" during the takeover of Hamilton Hall last spring.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), a federal agency tasked with enforcing civil rights laws in the workplace, has opened a probe into complaints from Lester Wilson and Mario Torres, who were forced to fight their way out of Hamilton Hall nearly a year ago, The Post has confirmed.

Both men are making claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, alleging that they faced retaliatory harassment at the institution for "reporting antisemitic and racist conduct."

...

Wilson and Torres, who had worked at the school for over five years, were both left injured as well as traumatized from the scourge of anti-Israel unrest that engulfed the Ivy League school and have since been unable to return to work as a result, according to the complaints they filed last October.

"Hours after President [Minouche] Shafik issued her statement [that the university had become 'unsafe for everyone'], an antisemitic mob assaulted two janitors inside Columbia's historic Hamilton Hall, calling them 'Jew-lovers,'" the two complaints for both men recalled of the Hamilton Hall takeover in April last year.

...

It all began around November 2023, shortly after the bloody Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel sparked a war. Racist and antisemitic graffiti started to pop up, scrawled all around Hamilton Hall -- and the campus's janitors were forced to clean it up.

"Mr. Wilson recognized the swastikas as symbols of white supremacy," Wilson's complaint alleges. "As an African-American man, he found the images deeply distressing. He reported them to his supervisors, who instructed him to erase the graffiti."

"No matter how many times Mr. Wilson removed the swastikas, individuals kept replacing them with more."

Wilson lost track of how many swastikas he had to scrub, but his colleague Torres, who is Latino, pegged it in the dozens and eventually reached a point where he had enough, his complaint said.

"They were so offensive, and Columbia's inaction was so frustrating, that he eventually began throwing away chalk that had been left in the classrooms so vandals would not have anything to write with," Torres' complaint alleged.

"However, Mr. Torres was reprimanded by his supervisor for doing so."

Given the fact that Columbia University requires an electronic ID to gain entrance to Hamilton Hall, which is nestled on the school's Morningside Heights campus, and the fact that the building was equipped with security feeds, the two janitors felt the authorities could've tracked down the perpetrators.

They had reported the deluge of antisemitic, sexually obscene and racist graffiti at Hamilton Hall to campus security and concluded there was "no reason to believe" Columbia University "investigated any of the incidents" that had been flagged.

In one instance, around Dec. 6, 2023, Torres and Wilson observed masked protesters storm through Hamilton Hall chanting "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" and scrawling swastikas as well as other obscene graffiti in the building.

After Wilson reported that, he was told by campus security that "the trespassers and vandals were exercising their First Amendment rights" and that "nothing could be done," per the complaint.

A student is also filing complaints against Columbia for protecting its Hamas-promoting terrorist agent Mahmoud Khalil.

Khalil, 30, also routinely boasted in class that he headed the Students for Justice in Palestine movement at Columbia and "didn't love Jews."

He was a frequent no-show to class, which centered on Israeli politics, the student recalled. And when he did attend lectures, he disrespectfully interrupted his professor, who is Israeli.

"Everything about Israel was illegitimate; everything about Zionism was illegitimate because, in his mind, it's like a farce and a fallacy to think otherwise," she said.

And Khalil routinely "targeted" Jewish students in a WhatsApp group chat the class shared, she added.

"Once or twice a week, he would just go in [the group chat] and basically instigate crazy claims that were just very antisemitic and really inflammatory, and would get into fights with people," she said.

Reading directly from the chat, she recounted, "One day a Jewish student had said, 'I'm disturbed by the normalization of the insane amount of antisemitism spewed in this chat in the last few months. Disappointed and shameful.' To that, Mahmoud said, 'Thank you. This is exactly what some are trying to do so hard in this conversation: Conflate Judaism and Zionism, so it's easier for them to shut down any criticism of the colonial, genocidal state of Israel.'

The student said it was such erratic behavior that drove her to drop the class -- although she didn't dare confront him.

"I just didn't want to become a target of his," she said.

The student, however, anonymously filed two Title VI complaints with Columbia administrators about his antisemitic rants within the group chat -- but nothing ever came of them, she said.

John Sexton reports that the Hamas-supporting rag the New York Times whitewashed Mahmoud Khalil's radicalism, but now softly admits he supports "armed resistance," which "Israel calls terrorism."

...at a discussion sponsored by the coalition of student protesters, he remarked that whether Palestinian resistance was peaceful or armed, "Israel and their propaganda always find something to attack." He added, "They -- we -- have tried armed resistance, which is, again, legitimate under international law." But Israel calls it terrorism, he said...

Sexton also reports that colleges -- or what were once colleges -- are realizing that they have lost the support of most of the country and the left doesn't have the power to save them.

Columbia University is just the start of a long-brewing backlash. On Monday of this week the Trump administration's Department of Education put 60 schools on notice that they will lose federal funding if they don't do more to crack down on antisemitism on campus.

...

Unfortunately for many of these schools, they are only now realizing that they don't have a lot of friends to take up any slack if their budgets are cut.

[NYT:]

Prestigious universities have come to find adversaries in many worlds, among the working class, among rich alumni, among highly educated progressives who find them self-regarding. "Universities are good targets for resentment," said Michael Roth, the president of Wesleyan University who has written about modern campus politics. "They take such enormous pride in how many people they reject.

"We at universities have not done enough over the years to pay attention to those groups -- conservative groups, religious groups -- around the country that are essential parts of a democratic culture. The isolation makes us very vulnerable."

Illinois School Administrators Force 13-Year-Old Girl to Undress In Front of "Trans" Identifying Boy, Committing a Sexual Violation of a Little Girl for the Sake of Trans "Inclusion"

—Ace

This is sexual assault of a minor, and it needs to be prosecuted as just that.

Audra Worlow @audrawrongspeak

Mar 15
These school administrators marched the girls into the locker room and stood there to make sure that they undressed.

The school didn't just say "you'll lose PE credit if you don't change"

They literally marched the girls into the locker room.

Who do these women think they are?

This story is based on the claims of the violated girl's mother. However, adding to the credibility of her claims is the refusal of the school or administrators involved to comment on the claims.

Middle School Staff Forced Girls to Change in Front of Trans-Identifying Boy, Mom Says


Illinois public school administrators tried to force a 13-year-old girl to change clothes in front of a biological male, in accordance with the district's "inclusive" bathroom policy that allows transgender students to use whichever locker room corresponds with their chosen gender, the mother of the girl said at a Deerfield School District 109 School Board meeting on Thursday evening.

When Nicole Georgas's 13-year-old daughter came home from Shepard Middle School on February 5, she was frightened and upset: A boy had been in the girl's bathroom.
Georgas's daughter was told by Deerfield administrators that because the male student identified as a female, he could use the girl's locker room and bathroom, Georgas said. Although Georgas expressed to the school that the district was "in clear violation" of President Donald Trump's recent executive order that restricts males from participating in female sports and using female changing rooms, her daughter's teachers and principal reiterated that under direction from the district's legal counsel, the male student could use whichever bathroom corresponded to his chosen gender.
Then, Georgas said, "the situation went from bad to worse."

"A few days later, the male student was present in the girls locker room. Feeling violated, the girls made the choice to not change into their PE clothes with the biological male student present," Georgas said at the meeting.

Administrators then supervised the locker room to ensure that all girls were changing into their physical education clothes without protest, Georgas claimed. District 109 Assistant Superintendent for Student Services Joanna Ford, Assistant Principal Cathy Van Treese, and Director for Student Services Ginger Logemann tried to force the girls to change in front of the male student, Georgas said; when contacted, the district and administrators did not respond to National Review's requests for comment.


...

According to Georgas, administrators offered to move her daughter to a different PE unit.

Georgas's school board testimony was booed on Thursday evening by a large audience of transgender activists who spoke in support of the district's bathroom policy.

MXMNews:

The controversy has drawn national attention, with critics slamming the district's actions as an egregious violation of students' rights. Former Olympian and women's rights advocate Jennifer Sey condemned the district, stating, "These school officials need to be prosecuted." Republican state Rep. Blaine Wilhour blamed Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker for emboldening "woke perverts" in the education system, citing his administration's expansion of gender ideology policies in schools.

Fort Myers City Council Members Openly Weep and Hold Hands When Asked to Authorize Police Cooperation With ICE

—Ace

Before getting to that: Biden low-balled the number of invaders he allowed to swarm into the country. Plot twist.

The number of illegal invaders was double what Biden claimed.

Joe Biden's presidency oversaw an unprecedented surge in immigration, with new data revealing the scale of the influx. According to a recent op-ed by Jason Richwine at the Center for Immigration Studies, net international migration during Biden's tenure was far higher than originally reported, reaching 2.8 million in 2024 alone. The foreign-born population in the U.S. has now reached a historic 53.3 million, with illegal immigration driving much of the increase. In contrast, President Trump's policies have significantly reduced illegal border crossings.

Key Details:

The Census Bureau revised its net migration figures for 2022 and 2023 from 2 million to 4 million, with 2024 alone adding 2.8 million.

The foreign-born population has hit a record 53.3 million, up from 45 million four years ago, with nearly two-thirds of the increase attributed to illegal immigration.

Illegal border crossings have plummeted under President Trump, who reversed Biden-era policies such as catch and release and mass parole.

Diving Deeper:

Newly revised Census Bureau data has shed light on the sheer scale of immigration under former President Joe Biden. As Jason Richwine writes in his March 14, 2025, op-ed for the Center for Immigration Studies, the agency initially reported net international migration for 2022 and 2023 at a combined 2 million, only to later correct the figure to a staggering 4 million. The trend continued in 2024, with an additional 2.8 million immigrants entering the country. "This is more than double the number in any single year this century prior to Biden's taking office," Richwine points out.

The January release of the Census Bureau's Current Population Survey (CPS) has offered a clearer picture of immigration's impact on the nation. Richwine highlights the findings of a new report by Steven Camarota and Karen Zeigler, which confirms that the foreign-born population in the U.S. has reached a record-breaking 53.3 million, up from 45 million four years ago. "The foreign-born share of the population now stands at 15.8 percent," Richwine notes, "which eclipses the highs of the Great Wave at the turn of the 20th century." This surge has accelerated decades ahead of prior projections, as the Census Bureau previously estimated that the U.S. would not reach this level of foreign-born population until 2042.

A major driver of this increase was illegal immigration. "Camarota and Zeigler estimate that nearly two-thirds of the increase in the foreign-born population over the last four years was due to illegal immigration," Richwine explains. However, under President Trump, illegal border crossings have dropped dramatically. Richwine attributes this to Trump's swift action in reversing Biden's immigration policies, stating that "Trump reversed the Biden policies of catch and release and mass parole, secured better cooperation from Mexico, and empowered interior enforcement."

You won't be surprised to learn that the organization funding the lawfare operation against Trump, trying to block him from deporting alien invaders, is funded by George Soros.

A network of left-wing organizations with financial ties to billionaire George Soros is backing a lawsuit aimed at halting President Donald Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport illegal alien gang members.

Key Details:

The Trump administration invoked the Alien Enemies Act to deport nearly 300 illegal alien gang members linked to MS-13 and Tren de Aragua to El Salvador**, where they will be held in a mega-prison under an agreement with President Nayib Bukele.

Democracy Forward, a legal group assisting in the lawsuit, has deep ties to Soros-funded organizations, including the Center for American Progress, National Immigration Law Center, UnidosUS, and Color of Change.

Despite the court order, the administration maintains that the deportations had already taken place before the ruling was issued and insists that the president has broad legal authority over foreign affairs and national security.

Diving Deeper:

In a decisive move to combat violent crime and illegal immigration, President Donald Trump utilized the Alien Enemies Act to deport hundreds of illegal alien gang members to El Salvador over the weekend. The effort primarily targeted MS-13 and Tren de Aragua--two international criminal organizations designated as terrorist groups by the administration. However, the policy immediately drew backlash from left-wing legal groups, leading to a lawsuit seeking to block further deportations.

The ACLU and Democracy Forward filed suit on behalf of five illegal aliens currently in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody, claiming the Trump administration illegally applied the Alien Enemies Act. A federal judge sided with the plaintiffs and issued an order to halt the deportations. However, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt dismissed claims that the administration violated the ruling, emphasizing that the order was issued after the deportation flights had already taken off.

The legal battle has exposed the deep financial connections between Soros-backed entities and groups opposing Trump's border security agenda. Democracy Forward, one of the key organizations representing the illegal aliens, has received extensive funding from the Open Society Foundation, which is chaired by Alexander Soros, the son of George Soros. The foundation has poured millions into organizations like the Center for American Progress, widely regarded as the policy arm of the Democrat Party, as well as other activist groups pushing for open borders policies.

In 2023 alone, the Open Society Foundation provided nearly $4 million in grant funding to the Center for American Progress, along with millions more to the National Immigration Law Center, UnidosUS, and Common Justice--all of which are aligned with Democracy Forward. The lawsuit represents another coordinated legal assault on Trump's immigration enforcement efforts, with Soros-linked groups playing a central role in undermining the administration's push to secure the border and combat criminal organizations.

Below, someone asked the Fort Myers, FL, city council to authorize police cooperation with ICE in situations where they've arrested a criminal for a specific crime and then discover he's also an illegal alien. He may have mentioned that Fort Myers risks all federal funding for refusing to talk to ICE at all.

The city council members responded by crying.
