President Trump to implement travel ban on Afghanistan, Pakistan over ‘deficient’ screening

By Thomas Stevenson | The Post Millennial President Donald Trump is set to implement a new travel ban that would bar individuals from Afghanistan and Pakistan from entering the United States, according to a new report from Reuters. This comes after Trump drafted an executive order that directed cabinet members to recommend a list of countries for bans where their "vetting and screening information is so deficient." The ban would add to a list of “red” countries whose people are barred from coming to the US. The list of countries that Trump had on the list when he implemented a travel ban in his first term included Cuba, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Venezuela, and Yemen. Afghanistan would then be added to the list as a result of a draft proposal...

Inside VP J.D. Vance’s tone-setting trip to the U.S.-Mexico border

By Reagan Reese | The Daily Caller As the vice president’s motorcade zipped by a long stretch of border wall Tuesday, the barrier quickly turned from solid structure to a patchwork of old train cars and razor wire. The motorcade turned into Shelby Park, an area Gov. Greg Abbott seized so officials could put up razor wire and barriers to help deter crossings coming from the Rio Grande. Standing in the middle of the park at a podium, the location quickly became symbolic of how the administration is addressing the border crisis. “I think the president’s hope is that by the end of the term, we build the entire border wall. And, of course, that’s the physical structure, the border wall itself,” the vice president said in response to the Daily Caller’s question about how much of the bor...

Kudlow: Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent talks growth with Economic Club of New York

By Larry Kudlow  | Commentary, Fox Business Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent spoke to the Economic Club of New York today and emphasized the growthy-ness of President Trump's program. I had a chance to interview the Secretary after his speech. But importantly, Bessent emphasized deregulation, especially in the banking sector - and that includes bank loans to small businesses. This is important because during the Biden years, Fed Chair Jay Powell swayed with the wind and promoted DEI, ESG, no loans to oil and gas companies, terrible supervision of Silicon Valley, and a disregard for the importance of community banks. Powell presided over a real mess. Incidentally, it looks like Trump-appointee Miki Bowman, who is a member of the Federal Reserve Board, is going to get the nod t...

Trump Admin finds Maine in violation of Civil Rights Law for allowing men in women’s sports

By  Breccan F. Thies | The Federalist The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services notified the state of Maine that it is violating Title IX civil rights law by persisting in allowing males in female sports. The letter sent to the office of Gov. Janet Mills, D-Maine, as well as the state’s attorney general office, states that Maine violated the law by continuing to allow sex-based discrimination in school programs and activities that receive federal dollars. “Maine Democrats continue to play chicken with hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding and the future of girls’ sports in Maine is at stake,” Republican state Rep. Laurel Libby told The Federalist. “Nearly 70% of Democrats agree that biological males should not be allowed to compete against girls. As a result of...

Legacy media scrambles amid shifting political dynamics

By MIG Reports Key Takeaways: Joy Reid being fired from MSNBC and Jeff Bezos giving the Washington Post a new directive stirs discussion of a dying legacy media apparatus. Viewership and subscriptions are down for traditional media outlets as the Trump White House embraces new media and independent journalists. American trust in legacy media is extremely low and many believe the industry is quickly sinking and may be unrecoverable. Legacy media continues to collapse as Americans reaffirm their distrust. Institutions like CNN, MSNBC, and The Washington Post have been deteriorating for years, and recent events are deepening fault lines in the industry. Recent events like Lester Holt leaving NBC, Joy Reid being fired from MSNBC, new directives for the Washington Post fuel di...

Walsh: Sanity is making a comeback

By Matt Walsh | Daily Wire, Commentary Just a few days after BLM and Antifa set fire to a church outside the White House in the summer of 2020, the mayor of Washington D.C., Muriel Bowser, issued an emergency order. This wasn’t an order about restoring law and order to the streets of the nation’s capital, or punishing the vandals who had just destroyed property and assaulted Secret Service agents, or anything like that. Instead, Bowser made the decision to hire an elite team of eight artists — yes, eight artists — to meet up at around 3:30 a.m. in the morning. These artists’ mission, if they chose to accept it, was to paint the words “BLACK LIVES MATTER” on two blocks of road, in giant fifty-foot-tall letters, just a few blocks from the White House. This street painting would be referre...

Devotional: The six panels of the Helmet of Salvation

By Drake Hunter | Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice What truly defines our humanity? Is it our intelligence, our emotions or perhaps our knack for brewing the perfect cup of coffee? While many creatures display intelligence, experience deep feelings and even utilize tools — just think of a beaver constructing a dam or a squirrel cracking a nut — there's something unique that sets us apart. It's our ability to seek meaning, make moral choices, and pursue right, equable relationships and justice (purpose). Unlike animals that rely on instinct, we possess the gift of self-reflection, wisdom and the power to shape our reality through our decisions, provided we choose to channel that power for good. Yet, despite having this gift, we often make a mess of things. Poor decisions, unclea...

‘Everyone feels anxiety’ over CPW depredation payments, but commissioners note it’s the law

By Lindy Browning | Contributing Writer, Rocky Mountain Voice “Everyone feels anxiety and fear about all this," Colorado Parks and Wildlife Director Jeff Davis told commissioners as they approved a large payment to two Colorado ranchers in Grand County that lost livestock as a direct result of the wolf reintroduction program. The agenda item was on the commission's consent agenda — generally reserved for items so routine as to not require discussion. A motion was made to approve the depredation claims in the amount of $343,000 and some change. "I feel like we’re working with ranchers and livestock operations," Davis said. "It may not feel or look like it to them sometimes, but we are.” Davis continued, “These are large claims. We are the only western state that pays for itemize...

O’Reilly: Special districts bank on your ignorance, residents need to push for transparency 

By Chuck O’Reilly | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Meet Colorado’s special districts. Your wallet knows them better than you. Your tax dollars feed special districts most can’t even name. They siphon cash quietly until they are exposed.  Wherever you live in Colorado, you will be in some type of special district for water, fire protection, sanitation, open spaces, metro districts and schools.  Many Colorado voters are uninformed or unaware of how the various special districts, in which they reside, function. They don’t grasp their rights related to those districts or how the property taxes they pay get regulated, assessed or used by those districts.   New property owners are not informed about assessments or the board member election process for their districts. For mos...

The law firm that laundered the Russia Hoax has been stripped of security clearances

By Katie Pavlich | Townhall.com The law firm that produced the Steele dossier on behalf of the Clinton campaign and laundered the Russia hoax against President Donald Trump during his first term no longer has access to classified or sensitive U.S. government information.  "This is an absolute honor to sign. What they've done is just terrible. It's a weaponization, you could say weaponization against a political opponent, and it should never be allowed to happen again," Trump said before signing an executive order stripping the firm of security clearances.  READ THE FULL STORY AT TOWNHALL.COM
