Rep. Jasmine Crockett, the freshman Democrat from Texas, has once again landed herself in hot water—and this time she seems genuinely puzzled why Americans are outraged at her latest comments. In a recent Instagram video, Crockett lamented that mass deportations from the United States might negatively impact other countries, worrying aloud, “How would they feel?” Well, Representative Crockett, here’s a news flash: Americans are far more concerned with how uncontrolled illegal immigration affects our nation, our communities, and our families—not how it impacts foreign governments.

Crockett’s bizarre sympathy for other nations comes at a moment when President Trump’s America First immigration policies are finally reversing the catastrophic border crisis left behind by Joe Biden and the radical left. The Biden years unleashed chaos on America’s southern border, with millions of illegal migrants pouring into our country unchecked—a humanitarian, economic, and criminal disaster. Now with Trump back in the Oval Office, we finally have a commander-in-chief restoring law and order, securing our borders, and deporting those who entered our country illegally.

But according to Rep. Crockett, deporting people who violated our laws amounts to “randomly kidnapping folks” and trampling their “constitutional rights.” This isn’t just hyperbole—it’s dangerous misinformation. Illegal immigrants who cross our borders unlawfully have no constitutional right to remain here, period. Crockett’s outrageous comments reveal either a shocking ignorance of basic immigration law or a deliberate attempt to gaslight the American people.

Republican lawmakers didn’t hold back in calling Crockett out. Rep. Mark Harris (R-NC) fired back on social media, pointing out the glaringly obvious reality: “Other countries have been ‘just throwing people randomly’ into our country for decades, Rep. Crockett.” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) added, “She is literally one never-ending campaign ad.” Greene’s right—Crockett’s pandering might play well with radical activists, but it insults hardworking Americans who have to live with the consequences of an open border.

The context here matters. Crockett made these comments while flanked by notorious left-wing agitators Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) and Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), who have long advocated for open borders and amnesty. She accused Republicans of voting to give President Trump the authority to deport U.S. citizens—another blatant falsehood. Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin clarified that a recent case Crockett cited involved a U.S. citizen child deported alongside her noncitizen mother only because the mother chose to take her children back to Honduras. This was not some sinister plot; it was a mother’s choice.

What Crockett and her progressive allies refuse to acknowledge is that Trump’s immigration policy isn’t some cruel vendetta—it’s simple common sense. The recent Republican-backed budget bill rightly includes funding for the border wall, nearly 20,000 new border officers, and plans to deport a million illegal immigrants annually. Americans overwhelmingly support secure borders, legal immigration, and enforcing the rule of law. They see the tragedies that unchecked migration has inflicted on American communities—overwhelmed hospitals, strained schools, increased crime—and demand action.

This isn’t Crockett’s first misstep by a long shot. Earlier this year, she crudely referred to Texas Governor Greg Abbott as “Governor Hot Wheels,” mocking his disability. She later claimed her words were misunderstood, but Americans saw clearly her true character. Crockett also suggested that Elon Musk should be “taken down” and joked that Senator Ted Cruz should be “knocked over the head, like, hard.” These aren’t the comments of a serious legislator—they’re the juvenile tantrums of a political extremist.

At a time when America finally has bold, decisive leadership restoring our sovereignty, Crockett has chosen to side with foreign governments and illegal migrants over her own constituents. Texans—and all Americans—deserve representatives who prioritize our safety, prosperity, and sovereignty. It’s time voters send a clear message: America First isn’t just a slogan; it’s a necessity. And politicians like Jasmine Crockett, who put other countries above their own, have no place representing the American people.

In a stunning development that captures just how out of touch our mainstream media elites have become, CBS News’ controversial “60 Minutes” interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris has received an Emmy nomination. Yes, you read that right—an Emmy nomination for “Outstanding Edited Interview.” It seems the liberal media establishment is now openly celebrating its skill at creative editing, even as President Donald Trump battles CBS in court over allegations of deliberate deception and election interference.

Let’s be clear: the interview at the center of Trump’s massive $20 billion lawsuit against CBS News is the epitome of biased, manipulative journalism. The contentious exchange featured Harris fumbling through a response to a simple question from correspondent Bill Whitaker regarding Israel and Prime Minister Netanyahu. Her initial, rambling “word salad” answer was widely mocked when it aired as a teaser on “Face the Nation,” but magically transformed into a concise, polished reply when CBS aired the full “edited” interview during prime time. The blatant editing drew immediate backlash and accusations of partisan manipulation aimed at protecting Harris—and, by extension, the Biden campaign—from embarrassment right before Election Day.

The Trump administration rightly called this out as election interference, filing a lawsuit that has sent shockwaves through the halls of CBS News and its parent company, Paramount Global. White House Communications Director Steven Cheung summed it up perfectly when he sarcastically declared, “Of course it’s nominated for best editing because it takes some serious talent to edit Kamala’s answer into something coherent and understandable, which in the end they still failed to do.”

CBS News has been in meltdown mode ever since. The network has been forced to hand over raw footage and transcripts to the FCC, revealing the deceptive editing practices that have eroded public trust. Even worse, internal chaos has erupted at CBS, leading to the resignation of longtime “60 Minutes” executive producer Bill Owens. Owens cited intolerable corporate pressure, accusing Paramount executives of compromising editorial independence in order to appease political sensitivities around Trump and his lawsuit.

What’s truly alarming is the willingness of Hollywood’s elite to reward this kind of journalism with accolades. By nominating this blatantly manipulated interview for an Emmy, the entertainment industry is sending a clear message: they’re more interested in rewarding politically convenient storytelling than honest reporting. It underscores why Americans have grown increasingly skeptical of legacy media outlets that seem more committed to shaping political outcomes than covering the news objectively.

Meanwhile, Paramount Global is feeling the heat. Rumors swirl that controlling shareholder Shari Redstone is pushing executives to settle Trump’s lawsuit quickly, hoping to minimize damage ahead of Paramount’s planned merger with Skydance Media. Insiders reveal Redstone’s fear that Trump’s FCC will derail the lucrative deal unless the lawsuit is quietly resolved—a stark reminder that political power still holds sway in corporate boardrooms.

Rank-and-file CBS journalists, however, are reportedly “on edge” about any settlement. They fear that paying out Trump could irreparably harm CBS News’ already damaged reputation. But let’s face it: the damage was already done when CBS chose partisan activism over journalistic integrity. A settlement won’t create the crisis at CBS News—it will merely confirm it.

This fiasco demonstrates once again how critical it is for conservatives to challenge media malpractice head-on. President Trump is right to hold CBS accountable. His lawsuit isn’t just about money; it’s about restoring honesty and transparency in news reporting. As Trump’s FCC continues its investigation, Americans should demand answers and accountability. The media’s job is to inform, not indoctrinate, and we must never stop fighting against biased journalism that threatens our democratic process.

In nominating CBS News for an Emmy, Hollywood elites are celebrating precisely the kind of deceptive reporting that conservatives have long condemned. It’s high time we reject this charade and stand firm for journalistic integrity and truth. Our democracy deserves nothing less.

Imagine waking up tomorrow morning to find your entire community forced from their homes, your church desecrated, and the graves of your ancestors left behind. Imagine elderly family members collapsing in exhaustion, children crying from hunger, and families torn apart forever. For 120,000 Armenian Christians in Nagorno-Karabakh—known as Artsakh—this nightmare became a grim reality when Azerbaijan launched an ethnic cleansing campaign against their community.

Among those paying the steepest price is Ruben Vardanyan, a humanitarian whose only “crime” was daring to stand up for the rights of his fellow Armenians. Today, he languishes in a prison cell, another casualty in a long-running campaign of persecution against Christians in the region. For more than 550 days, Ruben has been held captive by Azerbaijan’s regime, simply for advocating peaceful coexistence and basic human dignity.

History has tragically repeated itself. Over a century ago, when Ottoman Turks butchered 1.5 million Armenian Christians, America responded heroically. Americans from all walks of life donated generously to the Near East Relief Foundation, raising the equivalent of $2.7 billion today to rescue Armenian orphans and refugees. President Woodrow Wilson himself championed their cause, forever embedding the phrase “the starving Armenians” into our collective memory. Those survivors became proud Americans, whose descendants—like Cher, Andre Agassi, and even Kim Kardashian—enriched our culture.

Today, their descendants face yet another existential threat. Ruben Vardanyan is not alone. At least 23 other Armenian Christian political prisoners are unjustly detained in Azerbaijan, with human rights groups reporting over 300 prisoners of conscience in the country. This persecution is indicative of a broader crisis that demands America’s attention.

Ruben Vardanyan’s story is not one of political ambition or activism. Rather, it is a testament to the Christian values of charity, compassion, and sacrifice. Before his imprisonment, Ruben was renowned as a successful businessman and philanthropist. Co-founding the Aurora Humanitarian Initiative, he honored brave men and women who risked their lives to help others in Rwanda, Afghanistan, and beyond. His life’s work has been dedicated to alleviating suffering and championing the forgotten.

Today, Ruben himself has become one of the forgotten. Yet, hope remains alive. President Donald Trump has publicly vowed to protect persecuted Armenian Christians in Azerbaijan and across the globe. National Security Advisor Michael Waltz recently demanded the immediate release of Armenian political prisoners, sending a clear message to the authoritarian regime in Baku that America will not tolerate religious persecution.

As conservatives, we understand the importance of religious freedom and the dignity of every human life. President Trump has consistently demonstrated his commitment to these values, making bold strides to defend persecuted Christians worldwide. Now, his administration must harness America’s full diplomatic and economic might to pressure Azerbaijan into releasing Ruben Vardanyan and all prisoners unjustly held for their faith.

America First means standing up against tyranny, defending the powerless, and championing the values upon which our nation was founded. It means refusing to turn a blind eye to injustice, even when it occurs halfway across the globe. Azerbaijan must understand clearly that their actions have consequences, and that the United States is watching closely.

In the name of justice, compassion, and basic human decency, we must rally behind Ruben Vardanyan and demand his immediate release. It is time to remind the world that America remains a beacon of hope for the oppressed, a defender of religious freedom, and a nation that will not tolerate persecution of Christians—or anyone—for their beliefs.

The Trump administration has the power to secure freedom for Ruben and countless others. Let us stand resolutely behind our president and those suffering unjustly, and demand that Azerbaijan release Ruben Vardanyan and end their persecution of Armenian Christians immediately.

Imagine the absurdity: Democrats in Congress pushing an amendment to explicitly forbid ICE from deporting American citizens—as if our brave ICE agents were randomly rounding up everyday Americans for deportation. Of course, House Republicans swiftly shot down this ridiculous stunt, and rightly so. Let’s unpack the truth behind this latest left-wing gambit.

During Wednesday’s House Judiciary Committee mark-up of President Trump’s sweeping budget bill—dubbed by the President himself as “one big, beautiful bill”—Democrat Rep. Pramila Jayapal introduced an amendment declaring that ICE “cannot detain or deport U.S. citizens under any circumstances.” Republicans promptly rejected it, seeing right through the political theater.

The Democrats’ latest maneuver is a transparent attempt to smear President Trump’s America First immigration policies. Let’s be clear: No one—not President Trump, not the GOP, and certainly not ICE—is advocating the deportation of lawful American citizens. This is yet another manufactured crisis by Democrats eager to paint Republicans as heartless authoritarians trampling civil liberties.

President Trump has openly floated the idea of deporting convicted violent criminals—even citizens—to facilities abroad, such as prisons in El Salvador. “We have some horrible criminals, American grown and born,” Trump recently told reporters. “If we could get El Salvador or somebody to take them, I’d be very happy with it. But I have to see what the law says.” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt clarified that this idea was merely floated and emphasized that any action would follow a clear legal pathway.

The left-wing hysteria ignores the facts. ICE has consistently denied accusations that it deported American-born children without due process or parental consent. The Department of Homeland Security confirmed that mothers were given the choice to remain with their children during removal or arrange for alternative care. Democrats conveniently overlook this, preferring to spread fear and misinformation to undermine our law enforcement agencies and the President who supports them.

Representative Mark Green accurately summed up GOP motives, stating, “Homeland Republicans proudly advanced funding to give Border Patrol agents the tools they have long requested to accomplish their homeland security mission.” Unlike Democrats, Republicans recognize the critical role of ICE and Border Patrol officers in protecting our communities from dangerous criminals, drug traffickers, human smugglers, and violent gangs.

Moreover, the Supreme Court has already clarified this issue. Justice Sonia Sotomayor recently wrote that current U.S. law protects citizens from deportation without due process and explicitly stated that the government’s argument otherwise was invalid. So why was Jayapal’s amendment even necessary? It wasn’t. It was nothing more than political theater aimed at undermining public trust in immigration enforcement.

Representative Jamie Raskin, a Democrat on the committee, tried to fearmonger further, claiming, “The Trump Administration is not targeting the worst of the worst. They’re arresting judges. They’re using federal agents to round up law-abiding members of our communities.” Yet again, Democrats want the American people to believe that law enforcement is the enemy. It’s a familiar tactic and one that voters have grown weary of.

The American people are seeing through this charade. Recent polling indicates that Americans remain nearly evenly divided on Trump’s handling of immigration, but they also recognize the need for strong border security and effective immigration enforcement. They understand that the President’s tough stance on immigration has helped restore order and respect for the rule of law after years of chaos and open borders under Biden and his allies.

It’s time Democrats stopped playing these cynical political games and acknowledged reality: President Trump and Republicans are committed to securing America’s borders, protecting our communities, and enforcing immigration laws fairly and firmly. The attempts to twist the narrative, fabricate crises, and demonize ICE agents only serve to expose Democrats’ desperation and lack of genuine solutions.

Americans deserve better than partisan stunts. Thankfully, Republicans in Congress stood firm against this latest absurdity and will continue to fight for policies that put America First.

The radical left’s war on border enforcement has reached new lows, and Milwaukee Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan has just become the latest poster child for liberal lawlessness. Arrested and charged with obstruction for allegedly harboring an illegal immigrant—previously deported, no less—in her own jury room to evade ICE agents, Dugan’s actions highlight exactly why America demands strong borders, law and order, and accountability from those entrusted with enforcing our laws.

Now, in an ironic twist, Dugan has tapped former Bush-era Solicitor General Paul Clemente to lead her defense. Clemente, a conservative legal powerhouse known for his fierce advocacy of constitutional principles, has argued over 100 cases before the Supreme Court. He even appeared on President Trump’s shortlist for the high court, and is perhaps best remembered for challenging the disastrous Obama-era Affordable Care Act and successfully overturning the Chevron doctrine that empowered unelected bureaucrats.

On the surface, it’s puzzling that Clemente, a principled conservative, would defend a judge accused of aiding illegal immigration—a betrayal of the rule of law conservatives hold dear. But as any constitutionalist worth his salt knows, the right to a robust legal defense is fundamental, even when defending someone whose views we find repugnant. Clemente’s involvement underscores the critical importance of due process, something liberals often disregard when it suits their agenda.

Make no mistake: Dugan’s alleged actions are reprehensible and represent exactly the kind of liberal judicial activism President Trump has fought vigorously against. Concealing Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, a Mexican national charged with multiple counts of battery, from federal agents is not just obstruction—it’s an affront to every American citizen who believes in the sanctity of our nation’s borders and the legitimacy of our immigration laws.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court swiftly stepped in, temporarily suspending Dugan from her official duties. Such decisive action sends a clear message: judges are not above the law, and conservative Americans will not tolerate activist judges who place political ideology over public safety. It’s a message President Trump has championed from day one, prioritizing America First principles of border security and law enforcement.

Dugan’s defense team, led by Clemente and former U.S. Attorney Steve Biskupic, faces an uphill battle. The facts detailed in the criminal complaint are damning. After Flores-Ruiz’s court appearance, Dugan allegedly ushered him through a restricted exit, circumventing ICE agents who were lawfully present to detain him. This blatant disregard for federal law enforcement is not just ethically troubling—it’s legally indefensible.

Clemente’s entry into this case has certainly raised eyebrows, given his conservative bona fides. However, his history as a staunch defender of constitutional rights means he’ll likely approach this case as a matter of legal principle rather than political alignment. Clemente’s defense of Dugan will undoubtedly focus on procedural arguments, challenging the specifics of the charges rather than endorsing her alleged actions.

Still, this case underscores why conservative vigilance is necessary in our judiciary. For too long, liberal judges have ignored or subverted immigration law, creating sanctuary cities and undermining the safety of American communities. President Trump’s commitment to appointing principled conservative judges has never been more vital. As he stated in a recent rally, “We must have judges who respect our laws, our borders, and the safety and security of American citizens above all else.”

The Dugan case serves as a stark reminder of what’s at stake when activist judges bend laws to fit their political narrative. It’s a reminder why President Trump’s America First agenda, including his relentless focus on border security and judicial integrity, resonates with millions of everyday Americans. Conservatives will be watching this case closely, ensuring that justice is served and that liberal judicial activism is finally held accountable.

President Donald Trump has crossed the 100-day milestone of his second term, and the results speak for themselves. In an era where political promises are often cheap and quickly forgotten, Trump is again proving he’s a man of action, unapologetically delivering on key America First priorities that propelled him back to the White House.

Within just over three months, Trump has signed an unprecedented 140 executive orders. Critics may balk, but let’s be clear: Trump’s decisive pen is undoing years of Biden-era failures, bureaucratic overreach, and globalist policies that weakened our nation. From securing the border to bringing manufacturing back home, Trump’s bold leadership is a breath of fresh air after four years of Biden’s neglect.

One of Trump’s biggest victories has been his aggressive approach to border security. Border czar Tom Homan recently reported border crossings down by a staggering 96%. Over 100,000 illegal immigrants have already been deported this year alone. “This is the most secure border in the history of this nation,” Homan told reporters this week. This is what true leadership looks like—protecting our communities and enforcing American sovereignty.

The President has also taken a no-nonsense stance on trade, quickly imposing harsh tariffs on Chinese imports. Trump made his position crystal-clear at the White House earlier this month: “For decades, our country has been looted, pillaged, raped and plundered by nations near and far, both friend and foe alike.” Those aren’t polite words, but they are accurate ones. Under Trump, America will no longer be the world’s piggy bank. These tariffs send an unmistakable message: America First means putting American workers first, period.

Education reform, another key Trump promise, has seen swift action as well. On March 20, Trump signed an executive order to drastically scale back the Department of Education, returning authority to parents and local communities. The order instructs Secretary Linda McMahon to oversee the closure of the bloated federal department, ending decades of taxpayer-funded indoctrination. As Trump put it, “It’s time we stop the abuse of your taxpayer dollars to indoctrinate America’s youth.” Critics may cry foul, but the American people know better: education should be local, accountable, and free from federal propaganda.

Internationally, President Trump has made substantial progress on one of the most pressing global issues: the war between Russia and Ukraine. After hosting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House, Trump has advanced discussions aimed at ending the conflict swiftly. “I want [Putin] to stop shooting, sit down and sign a deal,” Trump said. The President’s determination to end foreign wars and reduce America’s overseas entanglements is a direct repudiation of Biden-era warmongering that weakened our nation and drained our resources.

Yet, despite all these victories, the mainstream media has predictably downplayed or outright ignored Trump’s accomplishments. They remain fixated on trivial controversies, desperate to avoid recognizing the real-world successes of Trump’s America First agenda. But the American people are smarter than that. They see the factories reopening, the border secured, and their children’s schools returning to sanity. They understand that Trump’s presidency isn’t about empty rhetoric, but concrete results.

Looking ahead, Trump’s second term promises even more bold action. Whether it’s further reforming trade policies, revitalizing American manufacturing, or dismantling bureaucratic institutions that have outlived their usefulness, Trump has shown he will not shy away from keeping his word. These first 100 days are just the beginning of restoring America’s greatness and pride.

Make no mistake: Trump’s return to the White House marks a clear turning point. After four years of Biden’s disastrous tenure, America is finally back on track, driven by a leader willing to fight for ordinary Americans, not globalist elites. As Trump himself declared at the start of his second term, “the best is yet to come.” Judging by his first 100 days, there’s little reason to doubt him.

Virginia Giuffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein’s most prominent and outspoken victims, has tragically died by suicide at the age of 41, according to reports from The Associated Press. Giuffre’s passing comes after a long journey marked by courage, resilience, and, ultimately, profound tragedy.

For years, Virginia Giuffre served as the face of Epstein’s victims, boldly stepping forward to speak out against the evils perpetrated by Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and their circle of powerful friends. Her allegations involved some of the world’s most elite figures, including Prince Andrew, who she courageously confronted in court. Although he adamantly denied ever meeting her, photographic evidence told a very different story—one that the public will never forget.

Virginia’s loss is a profoundly tragic development, and it raises more questions than answers. Her family released a heartfelt statement, calling her a “fierce warrior in the fight against sexual abuse and sex trafficking,” adding, “Despite all the adversity she faced in her life, she shone so bright. She will be missed beyond measure.” Her bravery undoubtedly inspired countless survivors to step forward, breaking the silence that allowed predators like Epstein to thrive unchallenged for far too long.

But the circumstances of her death inevitably evoke suspicion. Epstein himself allegedly died by suicide under circumstances that many Americans still find impossible to swallow. Cameras conveniently malfunctioned, guards fell asleep—leading many to question whether powerful figures wanted Epstein permanently silenced. Now, Giuffre’s death, while medically explained by recent severe injuries from a vehicle collision, will also inevitably stoke theories and speculation.

Giuffre’s life had recently taken a dark turn; last month she shared publicly on Instagram about grave injuries suffered in a collision with a school bus, which reportedly led to kidney renal failure. She wrote poignantly, “I’m ready to go, just not until I see my babies one last time.” This heartbreaking final message underscores the depth of her personal pain and suffering.

Yet, beyond the sorrow, conservatives must not lose sight of the larger implications Giuffre’s life and death hold for America. Her courage in confronting Epstein’s powerful circle exposed sickening corruption and exploitation at the highest levels of society. Epstein’s revolting actions, and those of his elite associates, revealed a sickness festering among America’s wealthy and influential—a moral rot that President Trump tirelessly fought to expose and root out during his first term.

Indeed, the Epstein scandal is a stark reminder of the swamp President Trump pledged to drain. The lenient treatment of Epstein during his initial prosecution—overseen by former U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta, who later claimed he was warned Epstein “belonged to intelligence”—still reverberates through our justice system. Americans deserve answers, accountability, and justice for Epstein’s many victims, including Virginia Giuffre.

President Trump has been a steadfast leader in the war against human trafficking and sexual exploitation, prioritizing resources and toughening laws to protect vulnerable women and children. His America First agenda demands not only economic renewal and strong borders but also moral clarity and justice at every level of society. The Epstein scandal, and Giuffre’s tragic passing, remind us why this fight must continue with unwavering determination.

As conservatives, we mourn Virginia Giuffre’s tragic death and honor her courage in confronting unimaginable evil. Her story must inspire us to remain vigilant against corruption and to demand transparency and accountability from our institutions. The swamp infesting our nation’s elite will never willingly drain itself—it requires patriots who are willing to speak uncomfortable truths and fight tirelessly for justice.

Virginia Giuffre’s legacy deserves nothing less.

In President Donald Trump’s America, religious liberty is once again a sacred, protected right. But deep behind enemy lines in places like Montgomery County, Maryland, woke bureaucrats are still determined to trample on it. Their latest target? A brilliant Christian student who dared to object to the new “state religion” — the LGBTQ+ agenda.

“Jane,” a senior at a Montgomery County Public School, should be celebrating one of the greatest milestones of her young life. Instead, despite her jaw-dropping 4.76 GPA, 96th percentile SAT score, and leadership in multiple extracurriculars, she’s being denied graduation. Why? Because she refuses to bow the knee to radical gender ideology being forced into the health curriculum.

According to Jane’s family, who spoke to Fox News Digital, the school refuses to let her complete her mandatory health class without sitting through “LGBTQ+ affirming” propaganda that directly violates her deeply held Christian beliefs. For more than two years, Jane’s parents have been pleading with school officials for a simple compromise — an opt-out, an alternative class, or even independent study. Time and again, the school slammed the door in their face.

As her senior year races toward the finish line, her parents have taken the battle all the way to the Maryland Supreme Court, filing an emergency petition to protect their daughter’s right to graduate without surrendering her faith.

The controversy started back in August 2022, when Jane’s parents learned that the once-segmented LGBTQ content had been embedded throughout the entire health curriculum. Internal teacher training documents — obtained by Jane’s parents and shared with Fox News — show the shocking extent of the indoctrination. Teachers were instructed to infuse LGBTQ “inclusivity” into every unit, with no room for religious dissent.

But it gets worse. Those same materials labeled Christians as a “privileged” group and encouraged students to consider “non-Christian faiths” as “oppressed.” One outrageous training session even smeared belief in the Bible as an example of “white supremacy culture.” That’s right: Montgomery County Public Schools is officially in the business of teaching children that Christianity is the enemy.

Jane’s parents reasonably asked to shield their daughter by letting her take health class at an accredited Catholic high school or through an independent study under a former MCPS teacher. Naturally, the woke school district rejected both options. They demanded Jane either sit through the re-education program or kiss her diploma goodbye.

After the school board stonewalled them, the family appealed to the Circuit Court of Montgomery County — which rubber-stamped the district’s discrimination. Now, in a last-ditch effort, they’re asking Maryland’s highest court to intervene before Jane loses her chance to graduate alongside her classmates.

Their argument is simple: If LGBTQ+ indoctrination has been inserted throughout the entire health course, parents have the right to opt their children out — just like they always have under Maryland law. Otherwise, they argue, the state is punishing religious families by holding their children’s futures hostage.

In their letter to the Maryland State Board of Education, Jane’s parents made their mission crystal clear: “We are not trying to get MCPS to stop teaching about LGBTQ+ issues. We just want the same opt-out protections we’ve always had.” But in 2025, even asking for basic fairness is treated like heresy.

The family’s fight is part of a broader showdown in Montgomery County, where Muslim, Jewish, and Christian families are already suing the district over its decision to force young children to read LGBTQ+ storybooks without parental consent. That case is now before the U.S. Supreme Court — and President Trump’s conservative justices seemed strongly sympathetic to the parents’ cause during oral arguments this week.

Meanwhile, the Montgomery County elites continue to steamroll parental rights with smug arrogance, betting that most families won’t have the time, money, or resources to fight back. Thankfully, brave parents like Jane’s are proving them wrong.

This is about more than one diploma. It’s about whether religious Americans have the right to live their faith without surrendering their children to a radical agenda. And thanks to the constitutional protections being vigorously defended under the Trump administration, parents across this country are finally taking a stand.

Score another one for sanity and American consumers. President Donald Trump’s Department of Agriculture just scrapped a burdensome, job-killing, food-wasting Obama-Biden era salmonella rule that was all but guaranteed to raise grocery prices and drown small poultry producers in red tape.

The USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced Thursday it is officially withdrawing a proposal cooked up during Biden’s disastrous presidency that would have required poultry companies to test endlessly for salmonella, limit the presence of specific strains, and potentially recall entire product lines based on arbitrary thresholds. In typical Biden-era fashion, it was regulation for the sake of regulation, heavy on government overreach and light on actual science.

FSIS said it reviewed more than 7,000 public comments, including a tidal wave of objections from farmers, processors, academics, and consumer groups. The result? A common-sense decision to hit the brakes and rethink the entire bureaucratic mess.

Under Biden’s plan, any chicken or turkey products that exceeded salmonella standards or tested positive for certain strains would have been banned from sale. Producers would’ve been forced to dump perfectly good food—driving up costs, increasing waste, and tightening supply chains at a time when American families are already paying more for groceries thanks to Bidenomics.

The USDA had claimed the rule would cut salmonella illnesses by 125,000 cases for chicken and 43,000 for turkey each year. But critics slammed those figures as wishful thinking and pointed out that forcing mass recalls on trace bacteria wouldn’t magically prevent every foodborne illness—it would just punish producers and consumers alike.

The Trump administration’s USDA rightly noted that the proposed framework raised major red flags about legal authority, the scientific basis behind the regulations, the devastating economic impacts, and the crushing burden it would have placed on small poultry producers.

In a statement Thursday, FSIS emphasized it still supports reducing salmonella illnesses—but not by ramming through a legally shaky, scientifically questionable mandate that would kneecap an essential industry. In other words, they’re aiming for smarter, not bigger, government.

Naturally, the common-sense move was met with approval by people who actually understand agriculture and food production. The National Chicken Council praised the withdrawal, blasting the proposed rule as “legally unsound,” “scientifically misinterpreted,” and “meaningless for public health.”

Ashley Peterson, senior vice president at the council, hit the nail on the head: “It would have caused extraordinary food waste and higher prices for producers and consumers.” She added that the Council looks forward to working with FSIS on reasonable, science-based policies that actually protect public health without wrecking American food production.

Predictably, the liberal outrage machine kicked into gear. Sandra Eskin, a Biden USDA holdover, whined to the Associated Press that dropping the rule “sends the clear message” that President Trump doesn’t care about food safety. Sarah Sorscher of the far-left Center for Science in the Public Interest called it a “missed opportunity,” hysterically claiming it would lead to “more Americans getting sick.”

Maybe if these bureaucrats cared half as much about enforcing the border as they do about micromanaging chicken nuggets, we’d have fewer fentanyl deaths, but that’s a topic for another day.

This isn’t about public health—it’s about control. Just like their war on gas stoves, gas cars, and plastic straws, the Left’s food safety crusade has nothing to do with helping Americans and everything to do with expanding their power over our daily lives. President Trump’s team saw it for what it was—and pulled the plug before more damage could be done.

Once again, common sense wins, and freedom wins. And poultry? Poultry just dodged a government-sized bullet.

Elizabeth Warren is having a meltdown, and for once, it’s not about student loans. This time, the senator from Massachusetts has launched a full-blown “investigation” into President Donald Trump’s long-promised plan to shut down the Department of Education—and she’s pulling out all the stops to keep Washington’s bloated bureaucracy intact.

On Thursday, Warren announced she’s launching a so-called “Save Our Schools Campaign,” claiming she wants to examine the “harm” President Trump’s executive order might inflict on students, families, and teachers. What she’s really doing? Scrambling to protect the top-heavy federal education machine that Trump is finally pulling the plug on.

Let’s be clear: this isn’t about helping students. This is about preserving control for left-wing elites in D.C. who’ve used the Department of Education as their personal woke playground for decades. It’s no secret that the Department’s real job hasn’t been to help kids—it’s been to push diversity quotas, gender ideology, and union payoffs. Trump’s move? A long-overdue correction.

As promised during his campaign, President Trump signed an executive order instructing Education Secretary Linda McMahon to take “all necessary steps to facilitate the closure of the Department of Education.” That’s right—the top-down control freaks who’ve been micromanaging your kid’s curriculum from Washington are finally being shown the door. And predictably, Warren is losing her mind.

In her press release, Warren recited the usual liberal panic script, claiming the DOE is “responsible for protecting students from civil rights violations, fraudulent for-profit colleges, and predatory student loan servicers.” What she forgot to mention is how the Department has ballooned into a partisan enforcement tool, rubber-stamping woke ideology and protecting the same failing public school systems that leave kids more indoctrinated than educated.

She even admitted that Massachusetts—her own state—is already leading in education. Funny how that success didn’t require federal overreach, isn’t it?

Trump’s vision is clear: cut the bloated bureaucracy and send control back to the states and local communities—the people who actually know their students, not the ones sitting in climate-controlled offices in D.C. That’s not “harmful,” that’s called common sense.

Warren’s outrage reads like a laundry list of progressive priorities in full panic mode. She wrote twelve separate letters to leftist education groups like the NEA, NAACP, and the American Federation of Teachers, begging for backup to oppose Trump’s agenda. And you can bet those groups—flush with union dues and liberal talking points—will gladly play along.

Meanwhile, Secretary McMahon responded like a boss: “President Trump believes that the bureaucracy in Washington should be abolished so that we can return education to the states, where it belongs. I wholeheartedly support and agree with this mission.”

Amen. Because let’s face it, the Department of Education has become nothing more than a money-sucking DEI slush fund. Half of its workforce has already been let go under Trump’s orders, and the rest of the building is likely spending more time on gender pronoun seminars than helping kids read and write.

Of course, Warren’s real fear isn’t about “delays in services” or “risk to students.” Her fear is that Trump is succeeding. She knows that parents across the country are fed up—with the failing test scores, the radical curriculums, and the useless red tape. And she knows that if Trump dismantles the federal education cartel, the entire progressive house of cards could come crashing down.

Good.

Because for decades, we’ve been told that Washington knows best. Meanwhile, classrooms got more chaotic, students learned less, and parents were pushed further to the sidelines. President Trump is reversing that tide, returning power to where it belongs: the states, the schools, and the families.

Let Warren rant. Let her send as many letters as she wants. America is done with top-down education control. The days of bloated agencies babysitting our schools are over. The Trump administration is putting kids and parents first—and the bureaucrats last.
