President Trump Kicks Off Black History Month With a Major Plot Twist

Right on cue, April Ryan, CNN contributor...“As we’re dealing with anti-DEI and anti-woke efforts, we understand this administration ... is thinking about celebrating Black History Month. Have you got any word on that, anything that you can offer to us?” - Teri Christoph

Leavitt was prepared:
“As far as I know, this White House certainly still intends to celebrate — and we will continue to celebrate American history and the contributions that all Americans, regardless of race, religion or creed, have made to our great country,” Leavitt said. “And America is back.”

America is indeed back, and President Trump did indeed issue a Black History Month proclamation with a not-so-subtle sign that all black American patriots—not just the ones favored by the left—should be and would be honored.

Here's the really good stuff from the proclamation (emphasis mine):

Throughout our history, black Americans have been among our country’s most consequential leaders, shaping the cultural and political destiny of our Nation in profound ways. American heroes such as Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, Thomas Sowell, Justice Clarence Thomas, and countless others represent what is best in America and her citizens. Their achievements, which have monumentally advanced the tradition of equality under the law in our great country, continue to serve as an inspiration for all Americans. We will also never forget the achievements of American greats like Tiger Woods, who have pushed the boundaries of excellence in their respective fields, paving the way for others to follow.

This National Black History Month, as America prepares to enter a historic Golden Age, I want to extend my tremendous gratitude to black Americans for all they have done to bring us to this moment, and for the many future contributions they will make as we advance into a future of limitless possibility under my Administration.

SCANDAL: ICE has a leak problem | Blaze Media:

On the latest “what happened while we were away” segment of the “Steve Deace Show,” producer Aaron McIntire revealed that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has been thwarted not once but three times when internal rats leaked raid information to the media, allowing violent illegal alien criminals to escape deportation.

Elon Musk’s nerd army stormed into the Department of Education on Tuesday and saved over $900 million...
And as many as 16 DOGE team members have entered the premises as the agency begins to be ripped apart.

Nope, still not sick of all the winning. - Stephen Green

Elon Musk on X: "Yes, that was a huge lie by the Biden administration.

Funds were diverted from almost every part of the federal government to maximize the number of illegals in America. There also appear to be significant funds siphoned from Social Security to pay for illegals. @DOGE" / X

Vrtually all illegal border crossing on our southern border are controlled and facilitated by the Mexican human trafficking cartels … which are one end of the same as the Mexican drug gang cartels

Compliments to Chicago’s AM 560 The Answer on an interview with Joshua Trevino on the Dan and Amy show this morning" - John F. Di Leo

The fact that these illegal border crossings have dropped so precipitously in just the past 20 days, since the Trump administration took over, proves without a doubt that it could have always been done, which means it was a choice.
The Biden regime positively chose to allow those millions of illegal aliens to come in.
And we need to find out exactly who they were and deal with them appropriately.

And this: Yes, there is a Mexican state-cartel alliance

Unraveling the deep state: Here are the most egregious things USAID was doing with your money | Blaze Media:

Billions wasted on pet projects — from ESG initiatives to 'inclusion' programs.

Over the past several decades, billions of hard-earned American taxpayer dollars have been funneled into left-wing initiatives around the globe through the United States Agency for International Development.

Established in 1961, the agency was intended to administer foreign aid and assistance to developing nations, but it has since apparently become an unscrutinized black hole of waste, fraud, and abuse.

“We are dealing with depression, anxiety, all kinds of medical problems that are related to that, like insomnia, chest pain, chest pressure

And then..there’s some genuine fear, panic.” - Wendell Husebo

Muskegon County sheriff clearly doesn't want you to know.

Muskegon City unclear also.

Is City of muskegon michigan is a sanctuary city?

ChatGPT said:

The City of Muskegon, Michigan, has not officially declared itself a sanctuary city. However, Muskegon County, where the city is located, has been identified by the Center for Immigration Studies as having adopted policies that limit cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

cis.org

This designation suggests that the county, and by extension the city, may function similarly to sanctuary jurisdictions by not fully cooperating with federal immigration enforcement.

It's important to note that the Michigan House of Representatives recently voted to restrict state funding for local governments that do not fully comply with immigration enforcement.

wmuk.org

This legislative action indicates ongoing debates and potential changes in policies related to sanctuary jurisdictions within the state.

Therefore, while the City of Muskegon has not officially declared sanctuary status, the policies of Muskegon County may align with sanctuary practices. Residents should stay informed about local and state legislative developments, as these policies can evolve over time.

Watch: Trump Makes Huge US Steel Announcement, Moment Recalls Workers Flooding Stage to Thank Him

Watch: Trump Makes Huge US Steel Announcement, Moment Recalls Workers Flooding Stage to Thank Him:

President Donald Trump announced Friday that Japan’s Nippon Steel plans to make a large investment in U.S. Steel but will not purchase the company.

Appearing at a joint news conference with Prime Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, Trump said that Nippon “is going to be doing something very exciting about U.S. Steel. They’ll be looking at an investment rather than a purchase. U.S. Steel is a very important company to us.”

“I’ll be there to mediate and arbitrate,” the president added, noting representatives of the two companies are slated to meet next week and work toward a deal.

Trump Draining Pool Of Money From Which Leftist Activists Drink

That’s why they are apoplectic.

That’s why they are losing their minds, because they know if Trump is successful in cutting off the various spigots that fill the pool, they are in big trouble. - William A. Jacobson

But nothing infuriated them so much as Trump’s attempt to scale back USAID...

Yeah, I think people need to understand what Trump is doing, whether it’s intentional or not, but he is cutting off the flow of money to the pool from which a variety of left-wing groups and activist groups around the world and in the US drink...

This has the potential to be absolutely devastating to the DEI and left-wing industrial complex.

We always think of it as being George Soros and people like that, and, and it is, but they all are feeding into the same pool.

And Soros doesn’t have enough money to replace what the US government spends on this stuff.
That’s why they are apoplectic...

Incompetent vs. crooked: DC's rotten system revealed by Musk

But despite all the hoopla, what’s actually going on is straightforward stuff that most people probably — but wrongly — assumed the government was doing all along. - Glenn H. Reynolds

DC wastes how much of budget?
Musk wrote on X Saturday that DOGE and the Treasury Department have agreed to take the following steps:

All outgoing payments must have a categorization code in order to be paid. That’s supposed to already happen, but Musk has found the code is often left blank, making audits nearly impossible...
Musk went on to express disbelief that more than $100 billion worth of entitlements every year are going to “individuals with no SSN or even a temporary ID number. If accurate, this is extremely suspicious.”...

Yes, the government is big.

And of course when you’re writing lots of checks, there will be some errors.
But the system should be designed to minimize mistakes and catch them when they happen, not to make them easy and undetectable.

Generally, when auditors find that an organization’s accounting system makes errors easy to commit and difficult to spot, they assume the system is designed that way because it is intended to facilitate fraud.
Maybe that’s not true here. Maybe the federal government is simply incompetent.

If that’s the case, though, then maybe it shouldn’t get so much of our money...

L.A. Mayor Bass Hires Illinois Consulting Firm Led by Far-Left Politician:

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D) has brought in an Illinois consulting firm headed by a far-left politician who took part in a George Soros-funded mayors’ program, appointed his city’s first chief equity officer, and signed a resolution to recognize that his city’s land was stolen from Native Americans by “white colonizers” to help the post-fire recovery process.
