‘I’m Not Happy’: President Trump Lays Out ‘Downfall of Russia’ Warning to Putin

 Breitbart 

 Appearing to imply Putin had perhaps suffered some sort of mental break, he said “I don’t know what the hell happened to Putin… something happened to this guy, and I don’t like it” and separately in a later statement “He has gone absolutely CRAZY!”.

"U.S. President Donald Trump is firefighting the Ukraine War he said in comments where he expressed his anger towards the actions of Russian President Vladimir Putin for undermining peace talks with rocket attacks on Ukrainian citizens.

"Vladimir Putin’s apparent mission to capture the whole of Ukraine will lead to the “downfall of Russia”, U.S. President Trump has warned while also cautioning President Volodymyr Zelensky to consider keeping his own counsel more often, noting his outbursts have developed the habit of causing “problems” for Ukraine.

"President Trump spoke with evident anger, if not even disgust, as he returned to the White House from the West Point Military Academy on Sunday evening after being prompted for an “update” on the Ukraine war. He said on the airfield tarmac: “Yeah I’ll give you an update, I’m not happy with what Putin’s doing, he’s killing a lot of people.”

Harvard Case Judge Is Obama Appointee Who Oversaw Race Bias Suit

 Next Democrat elected President will likely place her on the Supreme Court.

. . ."The case has been set for oral arguments on July 21 before US District Court Judge Allison Burroughs, an Obama appointee, who previously ruled in favor of Harvard’s racially motivated admissions policies. Judge Burroughs’ decision was subsequently overruled by the Supreme Court." . . .
Harvard Case Judge Is Obama Appointee Who Oversaw Race Bias Suit   "The judge overseeing Harvard University’s lawsuit against the Trump administration over threats to slash funding has a track record of ruling in favor of the Ivy League school.

"That background makes US District Judge Allison Burroughs a prime candidate to join other members of the judiciary who have drawn Donald Trump’s ire after she was assigned to the lawsuit Monday. She was appointed to the bench by former President Barack Obama in 2014 after a career as a federal prosecutor and private lawyer." . . .

Support Grows for Asian-American Students in Discrimination Lawsuit Against Harvard   . .  ." 'We strongly believe Harvard’s admissions policy, which is hyper-focused on race, is only a Band-Aid that conceals the root cause behind a lack of diversity on college campuses,” he said.

"Wu said statistical evidence presented at a three-week trial in October before U.S. District Court Judge Allison D. Burroughs shows that Harvard discriminates against Asian-Americans in rural areas." . . .

Back in 2019: Federal Judge Upholds Harvard’s Race-Based Admission Criteria   . . ."Burroughs acknowledged that Asian American applicants “would likely be admitted at a higher rate than white applicants if admissions decisions were made based solely on academic and extracurricular ratings.”

"Parts of the opinion seem inconclusive and speculative. For example, on the personal ratings, Burroughs states

“The disparity in personal ratings suggests that at least some admissions officers might have subconsciously provided tips in the personal rating, particularly to African American and Hispanic applicants to create an alignment between the profile ratings and the race-conscious overall ratings that they were assigning. It also possible, although unsupported by any direct evidence before the court, that part of the statistical disparity resulted from admissions officers’ implicit biases that disadvantaged Asian American applicants in the personal rating relative to white applicants, but advantaged Asian American over whites in the academic rating.”

"That seems like a judicial shrug on a critical allegation of discrimination." . . .

They lied. Time and time again. And now they want you to believe this.

Evil: This Is How Staffers Planned to Run the Country If an Incoherent Biden Had Been Reelected

Bob Hoge; RedState

"Well, this person went on to say that when you’re voting for a president, you’re voting for the aides around him. But these aides were not even Senate-confirmed aides. These are White House aides. These were unelected people." . . . 

Donald Trump dodged a bullet in July ’24 when he turned his head ever so slightly and survived a sniper’s assassination attempt. 

America dodged a bullet when Joe Biden ended his reelection campaign in July of that same year. (We also dodged one when Kamala Harris lost the election in November, but that’s another story.)

Although RedState reported literally for years that Joe was a shell of his former self—and his former self wasn’t all that great to begin with—the Biden administration along with their corrupt cohorts in the mainstream media lied, spewed disinformation, and did everything in their power to conceal the truth from the American public.

Now it’s all coming out in the form of tell-all books, confessions from former aides, and even from leading cover-up enablers like CNN’s Jake Tapper. On Sunday, his co-author of the exposé “Original Sin,” Axios’ Alex Thompson, answered the burning question many of us wondered about all along: who would run the country if an obviously compromised Biden had somehow managed to win a second term?

Turns out the morality-free staffers had a frankly treasonous plot ready to enact: they’d just need to show “proof of life” once in a while. Appearing with "FOX News Sunday" host Shannon Bream, Thompson laid out their devious plan :

SHANNON BREAM: You quote a long-time Biden aide basically admitting he shouldn’t be running again. They said to you on page 85, ‘He just had to win, and then he could disappear for four years. He’d only have to show proof of life every once in a while. His aides could pick up the slack.’ Who would have been running the White House in a second Biden term?
 
ALEX THOMPSON: Well, this person went on to say that when you’re voting for a president, you’re voting for the aides around him. But these aides were not even Senate-confirmed aides. These are White House aides. These were unelected people. And one of the things that really I think comes out in our reporting here is that if you believe — and I think a lot of these people do sincerely believe that Donald Trump was and is an existential threat to democracy — you can rationalize anything, including sometimes doing undemocratic things, which I think is what this person is talking about.

They planned to use these "proof of life" moments to prop up the commander in chief, but actually run the country themselves. In other words, they were able to convince themselves to do evil in the name of "good."   This is sick stuff, folks . . .

"Watergate famously ended with lying conspirators jailed, reputations ruined, and careers destroyed. The same thing needs to happen here."

Douglas Murray Notices A TERRIFYING Connection Between DC Shooter and College Protesters

Youtube   
The same day that Rodriguez ended two young lives, students at Columbia University’s graduation also chanted that inane and ignorant chant of “Free, free Palestine.”

DC killings show how Americans are being incited to kill Jews by anti-Israel propaganda  "On Wednesday afternoon, Yaron Lischinsky was trying, as always, to fight lies.

"On social media he could be found pushing back against just one of the many big lies spread every day about the Jewish state.

"Specifically he was commenting on the UN Report which garnered headlines around the world.

"For days they have been ramping up their coverage of Gaza. Always on a mission — a mission to claim that Gaza above any other story on earth needed to be the subject of media and international pressure.

"The Jewish state was committing a “genocide” many of these outlets claimed.

""On Wednesday the UN retracted its own report, but not until they had sent that brutal, brutal lie all over the world." . . .

"Rodriguez is associated with the far-left Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL).

"Presumably Rodriguez believed the lies that have been pumped around this country and the world. Presumably he was one of those people who actually believe that Israel has been committing a “genocide” in Gaza since October 2023, as opposed to fighting a careful war intended to bring home the remaining Israeli hostages being held by Hamas and capturing or killing the terrorist group’s leadership.

"If he did believe these things then he is not alone.

"Indeed, as The Post revealed yesterday, even in this city such chants and such hatred are routine." . . .

Of course the chants. Always those bloody juvenile chants.

Columnist Suggests It’s Time to Treat Hamas Supporters on Campus Like the KKK; “Neither group has any place on any college campus.”

 Legal Insurrection

These schools may argue that it is possible to be a pro-Palestinian group on campus without advocating for violence, that only fights for fairness, but that is not what “from the river to the sea means,” it means the destruction of Israel and the killing of Jews.


"This should have been the case from the beginning. If these groups targeted any minority group besides Jews, they would have been shut down instantly.

"David Marcus writes at FOX News:

"Time to ban pro-Palestine (Hamas) groups on campus, just like KKK  "College is a place where differing viewpoints and ideas should flourish and clash, but institutions have long had a responsibility to avoid formal recognition of hate groups such as the KKK or the Nazi Party. Today, in the wake of growing pro-Palestinian terror, groups supporting that terror should be added to this list.                                                                                        "College is a place where differing viewpoints and ideas should flourish and clash, but institutions have long had a responsibility to avoid formal recognition of hate groups such as the KKK or the Nazi Party. Today, in the wake of growing pro-Palestinian terror, groups supporting that terror should be added to this list." . . .                                                     

Smash the Free Palestine Nazis 

 . . ."Put simply, everyone involved in Free Palestine Nazism, from the foot soldiers to the collaborators, the entire antisemitic movement that took to the streets literally the day after the Oct. 7 massacre to hail the murder of Jews, is guilty.

"Politicians are guilty, journalists are guilty, activists are guilty, students are guilty, professors are guilty, academic administrators are guilty, the leaders of international institutions are guilty, beloved NGOs are guilty, all of them are guilty. All of them stand indicted. All of them stand condemned."

This Memorial Day, New Respect for the Military

After four years of abuse at the hands of the Biden administration, the US military is being restored as a fount of inspiration.

American Spectator  

“The job of the U.S. Armed Forces is not to host drag shows, to transform foreign cultures, or to spread democracy to everybody around the world at the point of a gun,” Trump said. “The military’s job is to dominate any foe and annihilate any threat to America anywhere, anytime, in any place.”


"Watching the Trump Administration honor the American military this Memorial Day Weekend, I felt a wave of relief as well as pride. Relief that the four-year nightmare of disdain and blind risk for our soldiers and sailors under the previous regime was over. Plus, real old-fashioned pride, not the artificial Pride that had been forced on them by fools and fanatics to elevate unworthy, unqualified servicemembers and reject the best of them. My relief extended to my family, specifically someone I didn’t want to be lamenting on a future Memorial Day.
"Two years ago, my nephew, Lucas, then 22, told me he was considering joining the Marines, and asked what I thought of the idea. There was a time I would have blurted, “Simper fi!”. However, here I had to pause to reflect.
"Lucas was a good kid, smart and athletic, though rather lost. His two attempts at college had gone poorly, and the movie work provided by my Second-Unit Director brother ended with George’s early retirement. Traditionally, the Marines were a perfect fit for a young man in his place. But this was an anti-traditional period.
"I reviewed my devoured history of the branch as referenced in The Marine Corps Hymn, which kids of my generation once actually memorized. “From the Halls of Montezuma to the Shores of Tripoli,/We fight our country’s battles on the land as on the sea./First to fight for right and freedom, and to keep our honor clean,/We are proud to claim the title of United States Marine.” For visual help, I mentally replayed scenes from great films associated with the song.
"I drew a blank on the Halls of Montezuma, which referred to the heroic Battle of Chapultepec in the now politically incorrect Mexican-American War (1846-1848). Very few people today even Remember the Alamo. But in September 1847, U.S. Marines stormed Chapultepec Castle to take Mexico City and win the war. The heavy casualties they suffered — some 130 killed, 700 wounded out of 7,000 men – inspired the red “blood stripe” on Marine officers’ dress blue trousers.
"I did much better on the Shores of Tripoli, recalling an incredible sequence from John Milius’ brilliant The Wind and the Lion. Fictionally relocated to Tangier, the sequence thrillingly depicts a disciplined band of Marines marching to and seizing the royal palace. Even nine years before his provocative Red Dawn, leftists screeched about Milius’ jingoism." . . .

"Carl Sandburg once wrote, “Valor is a gift. Those having it never know for sure whether they have it till the test comes.' ”


It’s time for America to have a Military Appreciation Month   . . ."
Yet, our great military, despite the sacrifice of approximately 1 million troops over our nation’s history, gets only two federal holidays: Memorial Day and Veterans Day, and many still work on the latter. Since there are far more awareness months than there are monthsit’s time to rationalize them (and heritage months) in order to make room for a new Military Appreciation Month.

‘Greater Love Hath No Man’: The Four Chaplains and the True Meaning of  Memorial Day 

"The last sight of the ship was unforgettable: The Four Chaplains, arms linked in prayer, standing together on the tilting deck as the Dorchester slipped beneath the waves. They did not die for their own kind. They died for mankind, so that others may live." 


"It was just after midnight on February 3, 1943, when the frigid black waters of the North Atlantic swallowed the USAT Dorchester—and with it, four of the most extraordinary men ever to wear the uniform of the United States Army.

"They were not warriors in the conventional sense. They carried no rifles. They stormed no beaches. Yet their sacrifice belongs in the same sacred register as those who fell in service—men like Charles Whittlesey, Butch O’Hare, and John Basilone—whose courage cost them everything.

"Their names—George L. Fox, Alexander D. Goode, John P. Washington, and Clark V. Poling—should be etched in our civic memory, recited alongside the Gettysburg Address and Lincoln’s Second Inaugural. That they are not is a national oversight Memorial Day ought to correct.

"The Dorchester was a converted passenger liner, part of a convoy transporting over 900 American servicemen to a remote Army base in Greenland. Aboard were cooks, medics, engineers, and four chaplains—each of a different faith: Fox, a Methodist minister; Goode, a Jewish rabbi; Washington, a Catholic priest; and Poling, a Dutch Reformed pastor." . . .

Father of Suspected Terrorist Who Gunned Down Israeli Embassy Staffers Was Guest of Democrat Lawmaker at Trump’s Joint Address to Congress

 American Greatness  

"Rodriguez was also a featured speaker at an emotional Democrat press conference on March 4. Flanked by Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.), House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) and other Democrat lawmakers, Rodriguez appeared on the verge of tears as he decried the DOGE cuts." 


"The father of the suspected gunman in the murder of two Israeli Embassy staffers at the Capital Jewish Museum on Wednesday, was the honored guest of a far-left lawmaker at President Trump’s joint address to Congress back in March, the New York Post reported.
"Eric Rodriguez is an anti-Trump SEIU member who also spoke at a Democrat press conference ahead of Trump’s address.
"His son, accused killer Elias Rodriguez, 30, has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder after allegedly gunning down Yaron Lischinsky, 28, and Sarah Milgrim, 26, who were about to become engaged.
" 'Eric Rodriguez was our guest during the President’s Joint Speech to Congress, but we don’t know his family,” a spokesperson for Rep. Jesús “Chuy” García (D-Ill.) told the Post Thursday night.
"García in March had described Rodriguez as “an outspoken advocate against attacks on veterans’ services and the rights of unionized federal employees.”
"His mention of “attacks on veteran services” appeared to be a reference to the Department of Government Efficiency’s work eliminating of waste fraud and abuse from the system.
" 'Eric represents the very best of our community — someone who has served his country, continues to serve his fellow veterans and fights every day to protect the dignity of working people,” the congressman said in a statement on March 3. “His presence at the Joint Address is a powerful statement: we will not sit back while veterans and workers are treated as political pawns.”
"According to the Post, Rodriguez also appeared in a Service Employees International Union (SEIU) video that same day, speaking as an Iraq War vet and an employee with the Veterans Affairs Department." . . .

Democrat press and Congress, do you have any words of regret or encouragement for the below? 

‘Jimmy Kimmel Out Here Crying?!’ Scott Jennings Gets CNN Panel to Boil By Trashing ‘Political Activist’ Late-Night Hosts


"CNN’s Scott Jennings riled up a panel after he tore into late night comedians and they’re reaction to President-elect Donald Trump’s victory.
" On News Night with Abby Phillip, Jennings blasted Jimmy Kimmel for “crying” over the election and asked when liberal late night comedians would try to actually be funny again. 
"Jennings did praise HBO’s Bill Maher, saying the liberal comedian who often targets “woke” liberals “gets it.” 
“The rest of these people have become pathetic. I mean, they stopped being comedians and they started becoming political activists. I mean, Jimmy Kimmel out here crying? I mean, it’s pathetic. 
"And so my my question is, if you’re going to have a late night comedy show, at some point people might expect it to be funny and not just a constant political screed against one party, and I don’t I don’t know that this activism for four more years is sustainable if you’re going to market something as comedy, but the actual product is nothing more than sort of a low brow political activism,”
"Jennings said. “These people represent the way a lot of people feel, so it’d actually be interesting if the Trump folks could actually make us feel like, ‘we’re not going to take away your rights,’ and that doesn’t make sense, you think it doesn’t make sense a lot of people actually think that makes sense. 
"That’s the way a lot of people feel,” writer and podcaster Touré shot back.
 “That is their audience,” Phillip added. 
 “Is that their mission? To be activists and not comedians?” Jennings asked.
 “Well, sometimes the comedian does stop telling jokes and says serious things,” Touré said. "Jennings stuck to his point. “During the Biden years, there was nobody who provided more comedy fodder possible than Joe Biden,”
"Jennings said, igniting new outrage in the panel as Touré, Phillip, and others insisted President Joe Biden was made fun of while Jennings rejected this.
"Podcaster Josh Barro cut through the crosstalk to argue the biggest problem for comedians is that people are “a little bored” of Trump. 
" 'People might also want an escape,” Phillip said, adding that humor will not “go over too well” with this “new crowd,” citing Elon Musk’s criticism of Dana Carvey’s Saturday Night Live impression of him.
"Trump has said numerous times Musk will have a role in. his administration." . . .

The Israeli Tragedy and Douglas Murray’s Churchillian Voice

 The American Spectator  As the subtitle of Murray’s new book suggests, our response to the cult of death will determine the future not just of Israel but of civilization itself.

"And it’s a close thing here, too. For murder has come to our shores, sponsored by a treacherous academic culture of hatred and of politicians building careers on that hatred. It’s not hard to imagine Ross Barnett, the Talmadge's, and all those who got and kept power by the subjection of an entire race, smiling and applauding from their graves." 


"I let thoughts percolate and events develop before writing each week. This week, there were so many ideas coming forward that it was at first difficult to choose. But three things came together to point me in the direction that these words follow today.The first event was purchasing a new book. I had just heard Douglas Murray and Jordan Peterson talk for close to two hours about Murray’s new book, On Democracies and Death Cults, which I rushed to order.

"Murray is a Churchillian voice calling us to the defense of a civilization that is under deadly assault. We need Churchillian voices to rouse us from our opioid slumber.

"For Hitler and his gang were not cemented into place as the apotheosis of tyrannical evil. In his day, many in the West thought him onto something and that those who immediately opposed Nazism, such as Fiorello LaGuardia, and slightly later, Churchill, political opportunists engaged in dangerous warmongering. Even as the extent of Hitler’s aggressive malignancy became more apparent, Britain and France were loath to resist. Lord Halifax, whose political clout in Britain briefly rivaled Churchill’s, was looking to make a craven peace with Hitler even after Churchill had taken the reins in 1940. It was a very close thing.

"Around the world, many influential people pooh-poohed the danger he and his movement posed. So it was in America as well. Henry Ford sent the Nazis money when they were just getting started, and he accepted a gaudy medal from the German ambassador in July 1938, when Jews had already been evicted from professions, schools, and political rights, Dachau had been up and running for five years, the Rhineland had been reoccupied in violation of treaty, Hitler ended Austria’s independence, and Czechoslovakia was being threatened and was to be entirely swallowed up itself within a year. Even after Hitler had invaded Poland to start World War II, Charles Lindbergh, America’s darling after his pioneering trans-Atlantic solo flight, told Americans, “These wars in Europe are not wars in which our civilization is defending itself against some Asiatic intruder. There is no Genghis Khan nor Xerxes marching against our Western nations.”

"It is even more fashionable in today’s Europe and in woke America to embrace the cause of Hitler’s heirs in the Middle East. As pusillanimous as Chamberlain, and as casually disdainful of Jews, Britain, France, et al., have never missed a chance to oppose Israel’s efforts to end forever the existential threat everyone knows Hamas, Hezbollah, et al., pose to the Jewish state — and, as with Hitler, to Jews everywhere." . . .

"The students are revolting!" "I know but they're all we've got!" Tragic truth.
