National, Approved, Commentary, The Federalist / / , ,

President Trump was elected with a mandate — a mandate to rethink the core assumptions of Washington, D.C., that have led this country to disaster after disaster. A mandate to put America first instead of last.

Democrats’ lawfare threatens to sideline Musk and DOGE

The Federalist, Approved, National / / , ,

More than a dozen blue states which sued Elon Musk and DOGE on Thursday will push for an injunction against the Trump Administration later this morning. If granted, the temporary restraining order, or TRO, will immediately halt the president and the federal agencies’ ongoing efforts to cut waste, fraud, and the embedded members of the bureaucratic resistance. And unlike the various TROs entered to date in other cases which served merely as paper nuisances, a TRO freezing out Musk and DOGE would be devasting — both to the president’s agenda and our constitutional structure.

Democrats’ baseless attacks on Linda McMahon’s education experience fall a part with one look at her record

National, Approved, The Federalist / / , ,

A significant lie that opponents of President Donald Trump spew regarding his decision to nominate Linda McMahon to lead the Department of Education is that she does not have enough experience in the subject matter. The National Education Association (NEA) claimed that she is “grossly unqualified” the same day Trump nominated her. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., blasted McMahon as “unqualified” the next day. These statements could not be further from the truth.

Defunding USAID isn’t about reducing the deficit, it’s about shutting down left-wing propaganda

Approved, Commentary, The Federalist / / , ,

The most common argument you’ll hear from those defending the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is that the grant dollars in question are just a fraction of the federal budget — less than one percent! Even if the Trump administration eliminated USAID altogether it wouldn’t put much of a dent in the deficit or help control the national debt, is the argument. Everyone from the talking heads at CNN and MSNBC to Jim Geraghty at National Review are repeating this line.

Dems worry Kash Patel could weaponize FBI against political enemies like they did

The Federalist, Approved, National / / , ,

In a Senate confirmation hearing on Thursday, feckless Democrat senators grilled Kash Patel, President Donald Trump’s nominee for FBI director, trying to paint him as a Trump henchman hellbent on seeking revenge for all the crap the FBI put Trump and American citizens through.
