Flotsam and Jetsam - Trump Trashes Nigerian Terrorist Scum

Capt. Ed at Hat Hair hears Trump Orders Strikes on Nigerian 'Terrorist Scum' – Nigeria Cheers. UPI admits it was the Nigerian foreign minister President Tinubu gave 'go-ahead' on strikes. Sundance at CTH, President Trump Coordinates with Nigerian Government to Carry Out Christmas Day Strikes Against ISIS Targets. Driscoll at Insty, NATIONAL LAMPOON’S NIGER VACATION HAS BEEN CANCELLED: Oilfield Rando @Oilfield_Rando, "THERE GOES MY SPRING BREAK PLANS, THANKS A LOT DONALD DRUMPF I HAD A FULL ITINERARY OF GETTING KIDNAPPED AND RANSOMED AND CATCHING AIDS ALL PLANNED OUT AND NOW IT’S RUINED." Quote R A W S A L E R T S @rawsalerts, "#BREAKING: Niger has officially announced that they will no longer issue visas to United States citizens following actions by President Donald Trump,"

Sundance reports Zelenskyy will Meet with President Trump on Sunday in Mar-a-Lago. Ryan King at NYPo hears JD Vance gets brutally honest about odds of resolving Ukraine War: ‘Good chance we won’t’. I hope we do, but doubt it too. There's no evidence Putin is tired of war yet. From Breitbart, an Exclusive — Scott Jennings: It Has Been Evident ‘Since Lincoln’ That We Need Greenland.

OTP reports Trump’s Tariffs Rake In $236 Billion For U.S. In 2025. At NYPo, Stephen Moore wonders Why do pessimistic pundits keep getting Trump’s economy so wrong? Because they desperately want him to fail and prove them right. At the Blade of Perseus, the Great Victor Davis Hanson looks at Pseudo-Recessions. According to the media and Democrats (but I redund) it's always a recession when a Republican is in office. From Da Caller, Republicans Erased Record Number Of Biden Regulations In 2025. Here Are The Worst Ones. At TownHall, Amy Curtis hears 'The President Can't Do Everything:' Sen. Kennedy Calls on Senate to Use Reconciliation.

Hat Hair's Dave Strom, European Parliament Member to United States: 'We Are the Free World Now", Europeans are furious that the United States has sanctioned Europeans who have been using their power to censor Americans—actual, bona fide individuals who will feel the sting, thank God—and it's hilarious to watch the reactions. They are ridiculous precisely because they are asserting the opposite of the truth. At the Brussels Signal a prediction The EU could be gone in four years: A revolutionary eruption is coming.

At News Wax, DOJ Delays Epstein Files After Finding 1 Million Records  and Trump Excoriates 'Sleazebags Who Loved Jeffrey Epstein'. A million more records? That's just insane. 

At Insty, Mark Tapscott observes BUREAUCRAT GAMES AT VA, FEHBP: "Officials at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP) used “novel” interpretations of law and regulation to get around long-standing bars on government funding of abortions." Time for more firings. From Da Caller, Judge Puts Stop To Food Dye Ban Championed By RFK Jr. I don't believe food dyes are a major problem.

Da Caller, Mamdani Appoints Retired Lesbian As NYC Fire Commissioner. A Driscolly post at Insty, MAMDANI WANTS TO SEE NEW YORKERS DEI IN A FIRE: Chief Nerd @TheChiefNerd, "NEW: Zohran Mamdani Appoints Lillian Bonsignore as New FDNY Commissioner “Although she never served as a firefighter, she's confident that won't matter … Bonsignore is a trailblazer for the LGBTQ community who will serve as the FDNY's first openly gay commissioner.” SensibleTXan @FLDY1016, "Of course why would we need experience and competency in a Fire Chief? DEI all the way, that's the ticket." Because that worked out so well in LA.

Matt Margolis notices Tim Walz Has Anti-White Racist Meltdown. I guess someone should (notice Tim Walz, that is). LifeZette hears Tim Walz’s Daughter Wishes Illegal Aliens a Merry Christmas. I wish them a Merry Christmas too, back in their home country. Hat Hair's John Sexton hears Michelle Goldberg: The Resistance is Getting Stronger. How? They already had their amps turned up to eleven. Dave Strom says something it think we can agree on, Our Elites Are Insane, Behold Suicidal Virtue Signaling and Humiliation Rituals Abound. Harold Hutchinson at Da Caller, sees Minnesota’s Lt Gov Takes Pandering To Somalis To The Next Level. Driscoll has another GREAT MOMENT IN MULTICULTURALISM: MN Lt. Governor Flanagan puts on hijab, declares Somalis built Minnesota. At RVM, Scott Adams Makes the Case: Democrats Are a Criminal Organization. 

Insty, MOCK THIS INSANITY AS IT DESERVES:

Two from Shipwreckedcrew DOJ's "Sand In The Gears" of Judge Boasberg's Planned Hearing To Take Testimony On Alleged Contempt By DHS Sec. Noem "Including a "mini-lawsplainer" on the odd process of a "criminal contempt" trial -- the late Justice Scalia viewed them as an unconstitutional usurpation of Executive power by the Judicial Branch" and "Maryland Man" Benefits (For Now) From A Poorly -- and Dishonestly -- Reasoned Decision From Maryland Judge, "There is no form captioned "Order of Removal" -- and there doesn't need to be one." Judges are now at a point that they're just making shit up. Bob Hoge at RedState hears that Justice Alito Lets Loose, Calls SCOTUS Decision on Nat'l Guard in Chicago 'Unwise' and 'Imprudent' and Jen O'Connell reports Patel Finalizes the Location of New FBI HQ, Permanent Closure of Hoover Building': Saving Billions'.

Byron York @ByronYork,  "Long story short," concluded Arthur, "Trump II has the will prior administrations lacked to enforce the law in the interior, has a large population of removable aliens to choose from (thanks to non-enforcement under Biden), has the detention space to hold them (thanks to the Big Beautiful Bill Act), and has willing federal and state partners to lend a hand. Consequently, it is setting removal records previously thought impossible." Original at WaEx, Trump’s most important achievement. At Twitchy, HA! Scott Jennings Breaks Out Puppets and Crayons to Explain What ILLEGAL Means to Abby Phillip. Sundance is shocked Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey Says if Deportation Operations Continue Minnesota Residents Will Start Killing ICE Agents. "Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey have built the illegal alien powder-keg while both have financially benefitted from the subsequent Somali community fraud, then together they blame the presence of federal law enforcement -Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)- agents for striking the match."

Dave Strom notices The New York Times Sure Knows How to Frame Stories... Ann Coulter @AnnCoulter, "At a horrifically-run nursing home, a gas explosion kills two: 1 nurse and 1 patient. Why is THIS the headline? Did the American who died have it coming?"

At Fox, Stephen Miller calls for firing of CBS producers over shelved Trump deportation story segment. "White House advisor says '60 Minutes' segment on El Salvador prison was 'hatchet job'" Well, it was. Amy Curtis hears Adam Kinzinger Took Revenge on CBS Over 60 Minutes Drama. There's Just One Problem. Buck Throckmorton at Ace's THE MORNING RANT: We Should Cheer for Bari Weiss to Fail in Her Effort to Rehabilitate CBS’ Reputation "my worst fear is that Ms. Weiss might succeed in restoring CBS News to a level of respectability such that it might able to reassert its liberal influence on politics as it once did."

Driscoll, on WHEN YOU LOSE THE ABILITY TO DEBATE: "As William F. Buckley famously said, “Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views.” Because the modern left have siloed themselves off into leftist-only fiefdoms such as CNN*, M-SNOW (classical reference), and the New York Times, they’ve increasingly lost the ability to debate the other side. The result is this train wreck: One ‘Journalist’ Shows Just How Insane the Left Is Willing to Be in the Name of ‘Morality.’ "I don’t know if you’ve seen this clip going around the internet, but it’s a jaw-dropper. It features MSNBC “journalist” Paola Ramos debating Malcolm and Simone Collins, a Trump-supporting couple, about genetics. Ramos asserts that there is no scientific evidence that there are genetic differences between races, to which the Collinses assure her there is. This goes back and forth for a while, with Malcolm, in particular, trying not to lose his mind as he pushes back against Ramos’ assertion that black women are no different from any other race on a genetic level. Eventually, Ramos says these claims aren’t hers, but the NIH’s." Don Keith @RealDonKeith, "This must be the dumbest journalist of all time. @paoramos tries to convince two Trump supporters that there is no scientific evidence that proves different ethnicities have different genetics, even citing the NIH as source. This is a patently false statement that only the lowest IQ’d, woke, journalist would make. It took me about 30 seconds to confirm that the NIH does indeed support the science of genetic differences for different ethnicities."

At Insty, a SHOCKER: Crémieux @cremieuxrecueil "The sex split in student loan payments is interesting. Men immediately cut down on their loans, whereas women tend to make little progress, even more than a decade on." From the Telegraph, Teacher ‘likened to terrorist’ after showing Trump videos to students "Safeguarding officials seek Prevent referral after films of US president shown to A-level pupils." From the Gothamist, NYC phone ban reveals some students can't read clocks. 

Insty at his NYPo gig says DEI hollowed out a generation — and sapped America’s promise. That was the point. Matt Boose at Chronic warns Wokeness Isn’t Dead. J

John Sexton, Blue States Sue Trump Administration Over Gender Affirming Care. They really want to mutilate those kids.
