Former education secretary shed lights on the HUGE changes coming | Blaze Media

Former education secretary shed lights on the HUGE changes coming | Blaze Media

The changes the Trump administration is making to the Department of Education are garnering a lot of negative attention from the mainstream media and progressives.

But any time the left raises a stink about something, it’s wise to ask: What’s the truth?

To answer that question, Stu Burguiere, host of “Stu Does America,” invites Angela Morabito, former press secretary for the U.S. Department of Education, on the show.

According to her, what is being presented as a political issue is not really political at all.

Associated Press Now Making S**t Up Because They Are Big Mad at Trump

The Associated Press and the White House are having an argument over whether the "journalists" can deadname the Gulf of America. - David Strom
Because the AP refuses to use the official name of the Gulf, the White House has revoked the organization's pass to enter the Oval Office and board Air Force One.
...the Associated Press is having a temper tantrum and actively spreading what amounts to misinformation from the White House's point of view, and frankly the AP deserves to get its snout slapped with a newspaper for all the crap they pull.
The AP, as you might imagine, is big mad. 
So they are using the one tool they have to get back at Trump: they are spinning stories even harder.
...In other words, the AP story is BS from start to finish.
  • Donald Trump has magical powers. 
One of the most powerful of them is forcing our elite institutions to unmask themselves as totally fake.

Dear DOGE – Why Is The U.S. Government Funding “Media Literacy” Informers And Indoctrination?

DHS, Defense, and State are all involved. I know, I took the trainings. Do Secretaries Noem, Hegseth, and Rubio know? - Ramona Bessinger 
Does the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) know that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is funding “media literacy” programs to teach students and the community to snitch on each other under the guise of fighting “disinformation”? 
  • Does Kristie Noem, the recently confirmed Secretary of DHS, know? 
  • Other funders of such programs include the Department of Defense and Department of State. 
  • Do Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio know about this?

WATCH Border Czar Tom Homan: 'We'll bring the weight of the world on them' * WorldNetDaily * by Joe Kovacs

Tom Homan, the border czar for President Donald Trump, gave an ominous warning to drug cartels in America and other nations Sunday, saying the U.S. would "wipe them off the a face of the Earth." "We'll bring the weight of the world on them," Homan said on "Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo" on the Fox News Channel. "President Trump will wipe them off the face of the Earth by the time he's done."

  • "So, that's the case where, like, I think they're probably dead is my guess, or they should be very famous. One of the two," he added...
  • "Obviously, we want to make sure that people who deserve to receive Social Security do receive it, and that they receive it quickly and accurately," he added...

  • An FBI agent involved in the probe revealed the off-the-books criminal investigation on Tuesday in a protected disclosure sent to the committee.
  • The whistleblower disclosure said two female FBI undercover agents infiltrated Mr. Trump’s 2016 campaign at high levels and were directed to act as “honeypots” while traveling with Mr. Trump and his campaign staff on the trail...

Young adult deaths in 2023 were 70 percent higher than they would have been if pre-2011 trends had continued.

Democrat Governors Go Green, Make Electric Prices Skyrocket, and Then Blame the Grid Operators They Hamstringed

  • In October, electric grid operator PJM Interconnection received a joint letter from five Democrat governorsPennsylvania’s Josh Shapiro, Illinois’ JB Pritzker, New Jersey’s Phil Murphy, Maryland’s Wes Moore, and Delaware’s John Carney. According to them, PJM, which supplies electricity to 13 states and the District of Columbia, has gouged customers with its annual capacity auctions.
These auctions are where power producers bid to gain access to the grid to distribute electricity they generate.

Political Incitement: Democrats Are Reviving Nazi-Era Tactics

The Weimar Republic, a fractured, democratic nation beset by internal strife, serves as one such lesson. The tactics used by its political radicals—particularly those of the Nazi Party—did not begin with violence but with rhetoric.  @amuse
The past is never truly past. 
History offers not just instruction but stark warnings for those willing to heed them. 
The Weimar Republic, a fractured, democratic nation beset by internal strife, serves as one such lesson. The tactics used by its political radicals—particularly those of the Nazi Party—did not begin with violence but with rhetoric. 
  • They did not initially seize power through physical force; instead, they created a public consensus through words. 
  • Words that dehumanized
  • Words that painted entire groups as threats to society itself. 
  • Words that, in their incessant repetition, made violence seem not just possible but necessary.
A strikingly similar pattern is emerging in the contemporary United States...

It was quite a day:

President Donald Trump received cheers from the crowd at Daytona International Speedway as Air Force One landed at the airport ahead of his arrival for the Daytona 500 on Sunday.

The president’s plane flew over the speedway before it landed at Daytona International Airport. Cheers from the crowd were heard on the FOX broadcast as the pre-race hosts talked to Chase Elliott. NASCAR fans and drivers watched as the plane flew over the track.

“Climatologist Exposes How Junk Climate Science Drives The Billion-Dollar Fear Machine” by Dr. Matthew Wielicki

Scientific publishing has long prided itself on rigor… at least in theory. Peer review is supposed to act as a firewall, ensuring that only results meeting strict statistical and methodological standards make it into prestigious journals.
I know this process firsthand, having spent years reviewing academic papers and funding proposals.
  • Statistical significance is the bedrock of scientific validity, without it, results are meaningless noise...
  • Yet, when it comes to climate science, it seems that fundamental principles of statistical significance are being ignored in favor of pushing alarmist narratives.
Take the latest example from Nature Geoscience, a journal that should, in principle, uphold the highest academic standards. 
Their recent publication on Greenland’s ice sheet explicitly states:


The study’s data fails to show a statistically significant Greenland-wide trend, yet it gets spun into alarming conclusions. 
That’s bad science.
In any other field, that admission alone would be grounds for rejection...

The entire democrat party is the party of theft! And a bunch of RINOs too!


 

Free trade and no tariffs by everyone who trades, is the statement of a goal, not a policy.

If it is a rule it has to be a rule that governs everyone, not just the US. - Lynn Chu
Free trade and no tariffs by everyone who trades, is the statement of a goal, not a policy.
  • If it is a rule it has to be a rule that governs everyone, not just the US.
  • This is where "liberals" call on a "international rules based order" to step in to make the "rules" for all. 
But most of these international rules based order pseudo-legalistic entities have been utterly unable to enforce any of their rules, and have become captured and led to promulgate bad rules, or stupid rules, or outright evil rules, such as the international denunciations of Israel which in recent years have morphed into outright antisemitism and demands for a Palestinian state to be erected dedicated to war against Israel and its destruction.

A nation whose population has been decimated by an unwinnable war has been rendered politically impotent by their. The right of the people to change course is even more important when they are being led over a cliff.
By accepting Zelensky's claim to legitimacy in the absence of CONSENT, are we conditioning Americans to accept this argument as well.

  • Because they get financially REWARDED by vested interests for legislation they pass in congress! 
Like I have always said (and I don't see ANYONE pushing this), pay congresspersons in proportion to how much they cut federal spending! 
THEN we will see budget cuts! (That's how the private sector works... you get paid in proportion to how much $$ you save the company).
