"It’s simple. Competence and merit are the standards by which we should all be judged; nothing more and nothing less," said U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro of the District of Columbia.

"It’s about time people are judged not by their identity but instead ‘by the content of their character,'" she added.

'Trump is remaking the United States': Net migration on pace to be negative, CNN's Harry Enten says * WorldNetDaily * by Hailey Gomez, Daily Caller News Foundation

'Trump is remaking the United States': Net migration on pace to be negative, CNN's Harry Enten says * WorldNetDaily * by Hailey Gomez, Daily Caller News Foundation: 

CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten said Saturday on "CNN Newsroom" that net migration into the U.S. is on track to be negative —something that hasn't happened in "at least 50 years."

On the campaign trail, President Donald Trump focused on issues that resonated with voters, including immigration, inflation and the economy. While discussing how the administration has followed through on campaign promises, Enten noted that immigration is projected to drop "at least 60%."

The argument I hear from Democrats about Trump firing the BLS head, Erika McEntarfer, is that this is what dictators and authoritarians do - and she is just in charge of the agency, she doesn't do the stats, and she only edits the text of the reports and makes sure everybody gets their paychecks.

I wanted her fired a long time ago, and I'm not an authoritarian or a dictator. - Michael Smith

This is why:

• - For 2023, job growth was overestimated by 770,000 jobs, with the annual growth rate dropping from 2% to 1.5%.
• - For the year ending March 2024, including monthly revisions, the Biden administration overstated job growth by 1.18 million jobs (36% of the 3.24 million initially claimed).

Now for the most recent:

• - May 2025: Revised down by 125,000 jobs (from 144,000 to 19,000).
• - June 2025: Revised down by 133,000 jobs (from 147,000 to 14,000).

Combined, these revisions reduced job growth by 258,000 jobs. 

• That is a 600% error in two months. 

Are they rolling dice or throwing darts at a spreadsheet pinned to the wall?...

Devin Nunes nailed it this morning with a question every American should be asking: Why was Mar‑a‑Lago raided?

They kicked down the door of a former President, weaponized the justice system, and shattered every norm in the process. - Wesley Hunt

The Left says it would be unprecedented to prosecute Barack Obama—yet they already crossed that line by targeting President Trump, a man who committed no crime. 

Now Democrats are scrambling to rewrite history, hoping you’ll forget that they opened Pandora’s box. But we remember. 

We see the truth.

• Their motto: Find me the man, and I’ll find you the crime.
• Our motto: Equal justice under the law.

And I will never stop fighting to restore it.

How science is supposed to work!-----Some Thoughts on Our (Trump's new team) DOE Report Regarding CO2 Impacts on the U.S. Climate - Roy Spencer, PhD

To those journalists I would say: read our report, as journalists used to do; you might be surprised to learn a lot of the published science does not support what the public has been led (by you) to believe. -  Roy W. Spencer, Ph. D.

PREFACE: What follows are my own opinions, not seen by my four co-authors of the Dept. of Energy report just released, entitled A Critical Review of Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Emissions on the U.S. Climate. 

• Starting sometime tomorrow, the comment docket at DOE will be open for anyone to post comments regarding the contents of that report. 
• We authors will read all comments, and for those which are substantiate and serious, we will respond in a serious manner. 
• Where we have made mistakes in the report, we will correct them...

Tables Turned: Former Trump Prosecutor Jack Smith Under Federal Investigation: 

“Jack Smith’s legal actions were nothing more than a tool for the Biden and Harris campaigns. This isn’t just unethical, it is very likely illegal campaign activity from a public office. Let’s take a look at just how egregiously Smith used his DOJ role to influence the election,” Cotton wrote.

Incredibly disturbing new details out of the UK

Is Great Britain just a gigantic Epstein Island? - Charlie Kirk

• Incredibly disturbing new details out of the UK reveal that not only were countless little girls raped by migrant grooming gangs, but when they went for help, many were raped again by the police. 
• Take one guess who was staffing the police departments.

So in the UK:
-Authorities ignored migrant grooming and rape gangs because prosecuting them might lead to accusations of racism
-Victims of Pakistani rape gangs who went to the police were instead raped again by the police themselves (who were of Pakistani origin)...

Mine also!

Alex Bensky - This is what the mayor said: “This show runs counter to the values of inclusion, solidarity, and respect that are championed in Montreal. Freedom of expression is one of our fundamental values, but hateful and discriminatory speech is not acceptable in Montreal,” Philippe Massé said in a statement.

• In other words, we are all for freedom of expression unless you engage in expression we don't like.

The Death of Disparate Outcomes - Clarice Feldman

RIP Disparate Outcomes, Credentialism, and the Russian Collusion Hoax - American Thinker - Clarice Feldman

• Forty-four years ago, the federal government entered into a consent decree in which it agreed to scrap the Professional and Administrative Career Examination (PACE). 

It agreed then with the plaintiffs that the test resulted in disparate outcomes, (42.1 percent of white examinees passed the minimum and only 5 percent of black examinees and 12.9 percent of Hispanic examinees did). 

• This week the department moved to vacate that consent decree and the court did so...

“It’s simple, competence and merit are the standards by which we should all be judged; nothing more and nothing less,” said U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro. “It’s about time people are judged, not by their identity, but instead “by the content of their character.””
