Day 378



It’s Day 378 of President Trump’s second term. No one has lost their Social Security, Medicare, or veterans’ benefits in spite of constant media and leftist lies.

A Dangerous Road

Democrats are going down a dangerous road. Multiple elected Democrats are claiming that when they get back into power, they are going to track down all of us “Nazis,” especially federal immigration police and military officials who followed the president’s orders.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill are creating actual databases of federal law enforcement officers. Walz told Minnesotans to film federal immigration police with their cellphones to “help us create a database . . . for future prosecutions.” Sherrill said, “If you see [federal immigration police] in the street, get your phone out. We want to know.”

Similar threats to prosecute federal law enforcement officers have been made by Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, and House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

At the same time, Chuck Schumer and other congressional Democrats are refusing to fund the government unless the Trump administration agrees to ban federal immigration police from wearing masks. Rioters can wear masks but not the police, even though their families are being threatened and harassed.

Border Czar Tom Homan told Schumer in an Oval Office meeting last week that his demand was unacceptable.

Democrats want to force federal immigration police to expose their faces and identities at the same time they are creating databases to make it easier to track them down for future prosecutions. If they succeed, there will be mass resignations of federal immigration police officers and recruitment will fall to zero.

Left-wing Lunacy

The Left’s insurrection against the federal government is putting America’s children at risk. California Attorney General Rob Bonta is suing a San Diego hospital for complying with federal regulations. The regulations at issue prevent hospitals that receive federal funding from sterilizing and mutilating children in transgender “treatments.”

But Democrats have decided that transgender ideology is a hill they will die on. Attorney General Bonta is willing to risk bankrupting a hospital to ensure that more children are subjected to risky and unproven experimental surgeries, condemning them to a lifetime of medical complications.

Well, here’s some good news. A jury in New York just issued a historic decision, setting a critical precedent. Detransitioner Fox Varian was awarded $2 million in a judgment against her psychologist and the surgeon who performed a gender-denying mastectomy when Fox was only 16-years-old.

The jury found that the psychologist and surgeon “skipped important steps when evaluating if she should go forward with the surgery and had not adequately communicated with each other.”

This ruling is important because many parents and detransitioners say they were pressured and rushed into serious, life-altering medical interventions without sufficient psychological treatment for other mental health issues beyond gender dysphoria.

Mutilating a child’s genitals is not the solution for their anxiety, depression, or bi-polar disorder! Hopefully, more successful detransitioner lawsuits will make doctors and psychologists live up to the motto “Do No Harm.” 

Catching Criminal Aliens

Last week, I reminded readers about the 2 million “gotaways” who came in to the country during the Biden/Harris years. Those are illegal aliens who successfully evaded the Border Patrol and entered the country without any “processing.”

Tom Homan says those 2 million illegal aliens “scare the hell out of me” because they paid coyotes extra to sneak them. If they just surrendered themselves at the border, they would have been welcomed with free cellphones, free healthcare, free housing, and free trips to any city they wanted. But we don’t know anything about these “gotaways.”

Here’s a reminder about another group of two million illegal aliens you should be aware of. They entered the country because Biden claimed they spoke the “magic words” claiming they were refugees in need of asylum. So, they were processed and given a court date to appear before an immigration judge.

They showed up for their court date and an immigration judge reviewed their case and found it baseless. Their claims were denied. They were ordered to report to immigration officials at a later date for deportation. In other words, they had their due process.

So, they entered the country on a claim, the claim was determined to be false, and they then broke the law again by failing to show up for deportation. The Trump administration is looking for these people, too.

But the Left insists they are being denied due process. They already had due process! Democrats are demanding a second round of due process in the federal courts because they don’t want any future Democrat voters deported.

Moreover, our immigration courts are already overwhelmed with a massive backlog of more than 3 million cases. Giving every illegal alien an additional hearing in federal court would bring our judicial system to a complete standstill.

The bottom line is that these foreign nationals entered the country illegally. That’s a crime. Then, they disobeyed a lawful court order to leave. That’s a second crime.

Remember that the next time you hear some leftist politician or pundit claiming that the majority of illegal aliens being detained by federal immigration police have no criminal record.

Wake Up, Republicans!

Alarm bells are going off at Republican Party offices all over the country following a special election in Texas over the weekend for a vacant state Senate seat. The Democrat candidate defeated his Republican opponent 57% to 43%.

That’s a whopping 14-point win in a GOP district that Donald Trump carried by 17 points!

Voter turnout, however, was abysmal—just 15%. It’s easy for fired-up Democrats to “steal” a seat when Republicans don’t vote. And the result is not a fluke. Democrats have overperformed in virtually every election since 2024.

And The Stupidity Award Goes To. . .

Singer Billie Eilish! At last night’s Grammy Awards, Eilish declared, “No one is illegal on stolen land.” Of all the Left’s open border talking points, that may be the most stupid and dangerous.

So, according to the Left, all of America was “stolen” at some point and now everybody in the world has a right to come here, and we have no right to decide our own immigration policy.

That’s insane! But many Democrats believe it. Boston Mayor Michelle Wu said, “Every person, every human being, has the legal right to come to the United States to seek asylum or shelter.”

With Billie Eilish’s “stolen land” comment, she is well on her way to becoming a future Democrat member of Congress.
