Ed thinks  Axios Report of Trump's 'Secret Power Protection Plan' Sounds ... Familiar. At Am Great, the Great Victor Davis Hanson looks at Trump’s Democratic ‘Allies’, "Democrats’ obsessive Trump hatred blinds them to their own unpopularity, making his counter-revolution seem inevitable—and even normal."

Change in the Nuisance to the North. Hat Hair's Beege Welborn says Adieu to Weepy Fidelito - Blarney Carney Is Canada's New Prime Minister. OTP, New Canadian PM Mark Carney Blasts ‘Bully’ Trump.

"Each time President Trump’s diplomatic team are scheduled to meet with Russia or Ukraine officials in their quest to stop the bloodshed, the intelligence apparatus in control of the NATO proxy war triggers an escalating disruption targeting Russia. Hitting Moscow with a wave of 60 drones is a major escalation, because face-to-face meetings with U.S and Ukraine officials are at a critical inflection point. Each uptick in the offensive action from Ukraine is directly proportional to the increased seriousness of the peace talks." At Am Mil News, Pentagon denies report of halt in cyber operations versus Russia. Jeff Charles at Town Hall hears Trump Demands More Than Access to Minerals From Ukrainian President, elections.

Beege Welborn reports Energy Secretary Wright says the US Moving Away From 'Quasi-Religious' Climate Cult Policies. At Energy Transition Absurdities, Chris Wright Moves to Refill The Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Beege, The reason I linked to it is that there's a tremendous amount of information in these five or so public paragraphs alone for folks who may not realize: 1) what goes into refilling the SPR, 2) the damage done by Biden's despicable draining of it to keep his regime afloat. At WaEx, Trump Transportation Department to prioritize birth rates in doling out projects amid declining fertility "The Trump administration will prioritize birth rates in doling out transportation projects, testing out a rising philosophy of conservative politics, and punishing blue cities in the process. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, the father of nine children, released an undated memo saying the department will act on “sound economic principles” while maximizing benefits for families, representing a new direction for the agency and a new way of thinking about federal projects."

Matt Margolis at PJM reports DOGE Makes Another Bombshell Discovery "The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) just dropped a bombshell that exposes the mind-boggling incompetence of Biden's administration. It has uncovered nearly $2 billion in "misplaced" funds at HUD, but that's just the appetizer in this feast of government waste. Here's the shocking truth: During 2020-2021, the Small Business Administration handed out 5,593 loans totaling $312 million to "business owners" who were 11 years old or younger. That's right — while our kids were stuck in Zoom school, we’re supposed to believe that a bunch of their classmates were apparently running multimillion-dollar enterprises. Even better, these pint-sized entrepreneurs all used Social Security numbers that didn't match their names. . . . But wait; there's more! The SBA wasn't content just funding kindergarten startups — they also approved 3,095 loans worth $333 million to borrowers over 115 years old. One particularly industrious 157-year-old scored a cool $36,000." Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman, "DOGE has uncovered $312,000,000.00 million in loans to borrowers who are 11-years old or younger.

Driscoll at Insty has another GREAT MOMENTS IN SELF-AWARENESS: "Randi Weingarten: People Are Really Angry, Trump Is Taking Away Opportunities From Disadvantaged Kids. Definite points for chutzpah, as the deliberate amnesia here is astonishing to behold: Never forget: It was Randi Weingarten and the Bidens who sacrificed a generation of kids." Duane Patterson at Hat Hair thinks AFT's Randi Weingarten Flips Out...Over Nothing Corey A. DeAngelis, school choice evangelist @DeAngelisCorey "BREAKING: Randi Weingarten REVEALS why she doesn't want to abolish the Department of Education and send the money back to the states She's AFRAID states will decide to give the money to PARENTS for school choice.

Althouse, "Is the Democrat message pure Jacobin hatred for anything pro-American and anything that could be considered pro-President Donald Trump?".  "I'm also seeing "Why Democrats Are Losing My Generation/Hint: It’s not because they didn’t go on Joe Rogan" by Joshua A.

Hoyt at Insty, DEPORTATION MIGHT BE TOO EASY ON HIM: Columbia anti-Israel agitator Mahmoud Khalil was probed as national security threat, source says — as judge holds up deportation.
CHASER: Mahmoud Khalil, Columbia University anti-Israel agitator detained by ICE for deportation, claims feds acted ‘unlawfully’ as he makes bid for release. Da Signal, Trump Is Draining the Higher Ed Swamp. NYPo, ICE arrests Palestinian leader of Columbia’s anti-Israel protests, revoking student visa and green card.

CNN, Judge temporarily blocks effort to deport Palestinian activist who helped lead Columbia student protests. From Politico, Judge halts deportation of Palestinian activist whose arrest was celebrated by Trump Bonchie at RedState, It Sure Looks Like the Trump Admin Just Outfoxed the Judge Trying to Block Pro-Hamas Leader's Deportation, by holding him in Louisiana. Shipwreckedcrew @shipwreckedcrew, "A petition for writ of habeas corpus has been filed in SDNY. The Judge assigned to the case just ordered that Khalil not be removed from the country pending further order. The first named defendant is "William P. Joyce." Joyce is the Acting Field Office Director for ICE in New York. The problem that the judge is going to run into -- if Khalil has been moved to Louisiana -- is that there is no jurisdiction for the petition in SDNY. Venue/Jurisdiction for Sec. 2241 petitions for habeas corpus lie in the federal district where the individual is physically located because the Order goes to the Official restraining the person's liberty. A Judge in SDNY only has jurisdiction over matters arising in SDNY. If Khalil is being held there, he the SDNY judge has no jurisdiction -- Joyce, in New York, isn't the Official restraining Khalil if Khalil is in Louisiana."

Bill Melugin@BillMelugin_ "SCOOP: The Trump admin has repurposed the controversial Biden era CBP One cell phone app into a self deportation app called CBP Home that launches today. DHS tells me any migrants who had the prior CBP One app will have it auto update to this new app, & DHS can use data from prior CBP One registrations to track migrants for removal. The new app allows illegal aliens and migrants in the US to register with CBP to self deport. They fill out biographical information, including their countries of citizenship, which country they plan to return to, their alien registration numbers, contact information, and it allows them to upload photos of themselves to confirm their identity. All of it is then submitted to CBP, and they leave the country. You may be asking yourself – why would an illegal alien want to self deport? In a statement to FOX News – DHS Secretary Kristi Noem answers that question. “The CBP Home app gives aliens to option to leave now and self-deport, so they may still have the opportunity to return legally in the future and live the American dream. If they don’t, we will find them, we will deport them, and they will never return,” Noem said. “The Biden administration exploited the CBP One app to allow more than one million aliens to enter the United States. With the launching of the CBP Home app, we are restoring integrity to our immigration system . . .”" At Fox, 'Leave now': Trump admin repurposes controversial CBP One app to encourage self-deportations "The Trump administration ended the parole function of the CBP One app." Ace, Trump Repurposes Biden's Illegal Immigration-Enabling App to Turn It Into an App That Urges Illegals to Go Home.

Nicole Silvero at Da Caller hears JD Vance Fires Back At Hecklers Shouting At Him For Wanting To Secure Border. “I see one of our nice representatives out here actually wants to actually, I guess, continue to flood the country with illegal immigrants, making your communities and citizens unaffordable,” Vance said in response to the heckler. “But ma’am, with all respect, one of the reasons why we’re doing what we’re doing is we want to make [the country] more affordable for Americans to live. That is one of the reasons why we’re doing what we’re doing.”
