Senior Dem Breaks Ranks to Praise Trump's Capture of 'Illegitimate' Socialist Dictator Maduro
Senior Dem Breaks Ranks to Praise Trump's Capture of 'Illegitimate' Socialist Dictator Maduro:
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a South Florida Democrat with a sizable Venezuelan population in her district, bucked her party Saturday to praise President Donald Trump’s capture of socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro.
Wasserman Schultz said the U.S. military operation removing Maduro from power is “welcome news” for the millions of Venezuelans living in exile, though she argued Congress should have been informed. Conversely, a chorus of congressional Democrats immediately slammed the successful military operation as illegal and contrary to American interests.
Must read!-----This wasn’t about protecting someone. It wasn’t about canceling someone. It was about standards. Tom Izzo held the line.
Paul Davis stood up and owned it — publicly, without excuses. Why that still matters - Spartans Illustrated - David Harns
- Tom Izzo and Paul Davis handled a bad moment the right way
...The incident spread quickly on both social media and on news sites across the country.
- In my opinion, though, what followed over the next 24 hours mattered far more than what caused it.
Tom Izzo has always preached family.
He has always preached accountability.
When given an opportunity out of the blue to put those values into action, he didn't hesitate.
This wasn’t about excusing behavior.
This wasn’t about excusing behavior.
It wasn’t about minimizing consequences.
- It was about accountability — real, uncomfortable, face-to-face accountability — and the standards Michigan State claims to value actually being enforced.
Paul Davis didn’t hide from it.
- And together, they showed what responsibility looks like when it’s taken seriously...
- ...At the same time, Izzo refused to do what modern outrage cycles often demand: turn a mistake into a permanent indictment of character...

Trump Reportedly Poised to End the Left’s Most Chilling Gender Tactic: Taking Kids From Their Parents
Proponents of pushing life-altering hormones and irreversible surgeries on adolescents, who enjoyed little-to-no pushback on its ideology...seem to have met a formidable opponent in President Donald Trump. - Teri Christoph
- On his first day in office nearly a year ago, the president signed an executive order (EO) called “Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth.” That EO made it federal policy to recognize the two biological sexes and rejected the idea that gender identity is separate from biological sex...
- Trump quickly followed that up with the “Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation” EO, which declared as federal policy that gender-transition procedures on minors – including puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgical interventions – constitute “chemical and surgical mutilation” and are harmful. The president directed the federal government to not fund, sponsor, assist, or support such treatments for anyone under the age of 19.
- And, now, according to a Tuesday report, President Trump is considering extending federal protections to parents who don't buy into gender ideology and are penalized for their beliefs. A new EO being considered would stop Child Protective Services from removing children from parents who don't accept their child’s so-called "gender identity."...

Scathing indictment claims Maduro orchestrated drug-fueled 'culture of corruption' * WorldNetDaily * by Anthony Iafrate, Daily Caller News Foundation:
"Through this drug trafficking, [Maduro] and corrupt members of his regime enabled corruption fueled by drug trafficking throughout the region," the indictment continues. "The transshipment points in Honduras, Guatemala, and Mexico similarly relied on a culture of corruption, in which cocaine traffickers operating in those countries paid a portion of their own profits to politicians who protected and aided them. In turn, these politicians used the cocaine-fueled payments to maintain and augment their political power."
White House Shreds Democrats' Jan. 6 Narrative With New 5th Anniversary Website
Their “January 6 Committee” was a one-sided farce where grandstanders like former GOP Reps. Cryin' Adam Kinzinger (IL-16) and Liz Cheney (WY-AL) preened for the cameras in what they hoped would be their 15 minutes of fame. - Bob Hoge
Thousands were jailed and woefully overcharged for their part in the protests, and Democrats still push false storylines to this day (like the one alleging that law enforcement officers were killed at the Capitol, when none were).
Thousands were jailed and woefully overcharged for their part in the protests, and Democrats still push false storylines to this day (like the one alleging that law enforcement officers were killed at the Capitol, when none were).
- The Trump administration isn’t taking today’s fifth anniversary lying down, and on Tuesday, they issued a new website disputing many of the Democrats' claims and slamming then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (CA-11) for not securing the Capitol.
- In the first paragraph of the new site, the White House defended Trump’s pardons in no uncertain terms (emphasis theirs):
