In the 21st Century, President Trump Recognizes Space as the New Battlefield

/

When Russia hijacked a Ukrainian satellite to broadcast its Victory Day parade, the world was reminded that modern warfare has moved far beyond traditional battlegrounds.

Tanks and soldiers are still vital, but now wars can be fought in cyberspace and even in the reaches of outer space.

The attack demonstrated how vulnerable satellites are and why strong leadership is essential to protect America’s security.

President Donald Trump understood this new reality early on, which is why he created the United States Space Force in 2019.

Many critics dismissed the idea at the time, but today it is clear that Trump’s foresight placed America in the best possible position to defend against threats that are both technological and extraterrestrial.

Tom Pace, CEO of NetRise and a former Marine, explained the seriousness of satellite security when he said, “If you can impede a satellite’s ability to communicate, you can cause a significant disruption.”

He reminded Americans of how dependent society is on GPS and how chaos would follow if those systems were disabled.

His warning underscores the necessity of having leaders like Trump who prioritize national security over political correctness.

More than 12,000 satellites orbit the Earth, and they are critical to communications, navigation, intelligence, and even missile defense.

Because these satellites play such a central role in modern life, adversaries like Russia and China see them as prime targets.

During Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, hackers targeted Viasat, a U.S.-based satellite company supporting Kyiv. The attack crippled communications across Europe and proved that the risks are real, not hypothetical.

U.S. officials have also revealed that Russia is developing a nuclear, space-based weapon designed to destroy satellites in low-Earth orbit. Congressman Mike Turner, R-Ohio, warned that such a device could render space unusable for up to a year. Turner compared it to the launch of Sputnik, saying, “If this anti-satellite nuclear weapon would be put in space, it would be the end of the space age. It should never be permitted to go into outer space. This is the Cuban Missile Crisis in space.”

Trump’s insistence on creating the Space Force now looks prophetic. He recognized that the United States must be ready to contest and control the space domain, because enemies like Russia are eager to exploit it.

Without his leadership, America would be dangerously behind in this new arms race.

While Russia and China are pushing for military strength in space, the United States is also competing in another critical area: energy and resources on the moon.

Acting NASA Administrator Sean Duffy emphasized the urgency, saying, “We’re in a race to the moon, in a race with China to the moon. To have a base on the moon, we need energy and some of the key locations on the moon. … We want to get there first and claim that for America.”

The moon holds helium 3, a substance with potential for nuclear fusion that could transform the world’s energy supply. Whoever controls the moon may very well control Earth’s energy future.

Joseph Rooke, a cybersecurity expert, made the point clearly: “If you dominate Earth’s energy needs, that’s game over.”

Trump’s America First vision always emphasized ensuring U.S. dominance in strategic areas, and outer space is no different.

His administration’s push for lunar exploration and Mars missions was about more than exploration. It was about securing American leadership for generations to come.

In the 21st Century, President Trump Recognizes Space as the New Battlefield

While China pretends to oppose the militarization of space, its actions tell a different story. Liu Pengyu, spokesperson for China’s Embassy in Washington, accused the United States of turning space into a war zone.

But the reality is that China has already announced plans for nuclear plants on the moon and continues to expand its military capabilities. Under President Trump, America refused to be lulled into complacency by hollow promises from Beijing.

The United States Space Force, founded by Trump, is growing and strengthening despite being the youngest branch of the military. Its mission is simple yet vital: protect American interests in space, defend satellites from attack, and ensure that America leads in this new frontier.

The Space Force’s statement captures Trump’s vision perfectly: “Space is a warfighting domain, and it is the Space Force’s job to contest and control its environment to achieve national security objectives.”

American dominance in space has been clear since the end of the Cold War, but new threats from Russia and China demand vigilance.

President Trump laid the foundation to ensure that America cannot be overtaken. He recognized that the fight for freedom, prosperity, and security would no longer just be fought on Earth.

Congressman Turner summed it up when he said, “You have to pay attention to these things so they don’t happen.” Trump paid attention, and because of his leadership, America has a fighting chance to remain the world’s superpower in the 21st century.

Gavin Newsom Press Office Tries to Blame Trump, Accidentally Admits They Broke the Law

/

California Governor Gavin Newsom’s office faced criticism this week after an illegal alien, who obtained a commercial driver’s license (CDL) in California, was charged in a Florida crash that left three people dead.

The incident occurred on Florida’s Turnpike when the driver, identified as Harjinder Singh, made an illegal U-turn in front of another vehicle.

Authorities said the maneuver resulted in a collision that killed three Americans.

Singh was arrested and charged with three counts of vehicular homicide.

Witnesses said Singh showed little visible reaction after exiting the 18-wheeler and observing the wreckage, which included the victims’ car reduced to mangled metal.

The White House press office addressed the case on X, writing: “This individual is an illegal immigrant who was granted a commercial driver’s license by the State of California — and now, three innocent people are dead.”

The statement prompted a public back-and-forth between the White House and Newsom’s office.

Newsom’s press team responded with a graphic post attempting to shift responsibility.

The post noted that Singh entered the United States in 2018, during the Trump administration, and cited California state law that prohibits illegal aliens from obtaining commercial driver’s licenses.

The graphic included the message: “Research consistently shows that issuing driver’s licenses for undocumented people improves public safety.”

It was accompanied by pop art-style imagery, including the phrase “Yikes.”

The post also asked, “Who was the President in 2018?”

The White House press team countered by thanking Newsom’s office for what it described as an admission that California’s policies had failed.

“Admitting California ignored their own law when they gave this criminal illegal immigrant scumbag a [Commercial Driver’s License] CDL,” the Trump administration’s press office responded.

Questions remain about how Singh obtained the license in California despite the state’s official prohibition on issuing CDLs to individuals without legal immigration status.

California law allows standard driver’s licenses to be issued to illegal aliens but explicitly excludes commercial driving credentials.

Critics pointed to the fact that Newsom served as lieutenant governor in 2018, the same year Singh entered the country, before taking office as governor in 2019.

That timeline has fueled speculation about whether Singh obtained his CDL during Newsom’s tenure as governor.

The crash in Florida has also renewed broader debate over sanctuary state policies and the issuing of licenses to illegal aliens.

Supporters of California’s policies argue that allowing illegal aliens to obtain licenses increases road safety by ensuring they are tested and insured.

Opponents contend that granting any licenses to those in the country illegally undermines federal immigration law and increases public safety risks.

Authorities in Florida continue to investigate the crash while Singh remains in custody on vehicular homicide charges. The names of the three victims have not yet been released.

California officials have not provided further details on Singh’s licensing history or explained how he was granted a CDL in light of state restrictions.

Newsom’s office has not indicated whether the state will review its licensing procedures following the incident.

The debate between the White House and Newsom’s office highlights ongoing political clashes over immigration enforcement, state sanctuary laws, and public safety concerns tied to illegal aliens operating on U.S. roads.

100-Year-Old WWII Veteran Flies Again in P-51 Mustang

/

At 100 years old, retired U.S. Air Force Colonel Joe Peterburs recently returned to the skies in a way few could imagine.

The World War II fighter pilot, who once flew missions over Germany in the iconic P-51 Mustang, took flight once again during the Rumble Over the Redwoods Air Show.

This time, however, he shared the experience with a very special wingman: his granddaughter, Sabrina.

From the California Redwood Coast-Humboldt County Airport, Peterburs climbed into a vintage North American P-51H Mustang, while Sabrina took her seat in a P-51D Mustang flying just feet away.

The formation flight along the Pacific Coast became a deeply emotional family moment.

“Her wingtip was about two feet away from mine,” Peterburs recalled during a Zoom interview.

“We were flying in close formation and we were waving to each other. She was smiling and was really happy. She almost filled that rear cockpit up with tears, she was so emotional.”

For Sabrina, the moment was equally unforgettable. “Nothing could have prepared me for what it felt like to fly side by side with him in Mustangs,” she said.

“We flew so close it felt as if our wings could have touched. I looked over and saw him waving, blowing me kisses. My heart melted and tears welled up in my eyes.”

The flight was more than just a family experience. It symbolized Peterburs’ extraordinary career and his lifelong connection to aviation.

He first flew a P-51D, affectionately named “Josephine” after his girlfriend and future wife, on December 2, 1944, as part of the 55th Fighter Squadron of the 20th Fighter Group. His mission that day was to escort Boeing B-17 bombers to targets in Germany.

“In my 49 missions, I never saw a bomber waiver or be deterred from his mission,” he said. “These men were and are the bravest of the brave and I only hoped that I could have come close to such courage.”

On April 10, 1945, less than a month before the war in Europe ended, his Mustang was hit by antiaircraft fire during a strafing run. He bailed out and was captured by the Germans.

After escaping a POW camp, he encountered advancing Soviet troops, who treated him and other airmen to an unforgettable night of toasts with vodka and wine. “I had never consumed that much alcohol in my life, nor have I since,” he laughed.

That same day, he also achieved one of the most unique moments of his career. After spotting a German Messerschmitt Me 262 jet fighter, he engaged it with his six .50 caliber machine guns.

Sixty years later, historians identified Peterburs as the pilot who had downed Walter Schuck, one of Germany’s top aces. Remarkably, the two later met in 2005 and became close friends.

“He was a real gentleman,” Peterburs said. “When we did air shows together, he introduced me as ‘the man who saved his life’ because he never flew combat again after I shot him down.”

Peterburs’ career extended far beyond that final mission in Europe.

After World War II, he transitioned into the newly formed U.S. Air Force and flew 76 combat missions in Korea. He later switched to jets, piloting the Lockheed P-80 Shooting Star, and served in Vietnam as a staff operations officer overseeing command and control.

His leadership roles eventually included commanding tactical air control units in Europe.

By the time he retired in 1979 as a full colonel, Peterburs had earned the Legion of Merit, Distinguished Flying Cross, Bronze Star, Purple Heart, Air Medal, and POW Medal. His service spanned three wars and left an enduring legacy of courage and resilience.

At the Rumble Over the Redwoods air show this August, Peterburs climbed into a P-51 once more. Even at 100 years old, he handled the aircraft with the confidence of his youth. “I also did a victory roll,” he said with a smile, noting that he even pulled 4Gs during aerobatic maneuvers.

The flight also stirred bittersweet memories. He thought of his brothers, both killed in World War II, and of fellow airmen who never came home.

“I like to get the word out to the younger generation about what we went through,” he said. “I hope they understand how many sacrifices young men and women made for their country, so this generation could be free and prosperous and have a decent life.”

For Peterburs, seeing his granddaughter’s Mustang flying alongside his own was the ultimate full-circle moment. After decades of service, survival, and sacrifice, the chance to share the skies with his family was something he never imagined. “It was so heartwarming to look over and see her there,” he said.

The image of a grandfather and granddaughter soaring side by side in two legendary warbirds stands as a powerful reminder of history, family, and the enduring spirit of those who fought for freedom.

Dark-Money Donors, Including George Soros, Pump $20 Million Into DC Anti-Trump Protest Movement

/

Left-wing dark-money donors, including billionaire George Soros, have contributed more than $20 million to progressive groups funding protests against President Donald Trump’s law enforcement crackdown in Washington, D.C., according to financial records reviewed by The New York Post.

The protests are organized by Free DC, described as a “fiscally sponsored special project” of progressive nonprofits Community Change and Community Change Action.

On Monday, the group brought approximately 150 demonstrators near the White House to oppose Trump’s decision to federalize the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department and deploy National Guard troops to the city.

Free DC promotes a set of “guiding principles” that include slogans such as “Do not obey in advance” and “Take up space.”

The group encourages nightly demonstrations, urging participants to “go outside at 8:00 PM and bang pots and pans, sing, chant, or make noise for five minutes” during what it describes as “this occupation.”

The group has also scheduled additional events, including a “Cop Watch Training,” signaling continued protests against Trump’s plan to increase policing, dismantle homeless encampments, and improve public safety in the capital.

Community Change and Community Change Action, which fund Free DC’s activities, have received substantial contributions from Soros’ Open Society Foundations, the Tides Foundation, and the Arabella Advisors network, according to research by Americans for Public Trust.

“It is ironic that a protest to ostensibly ‘Free DC’ was hosted by Community Change, a group funded by massive amounts of outside dark money to push a pro-crime agenda,” Caitlin Sutherland, executive director of Americans for Public Trust, said in a statement.

“D.C. is facing shootings, carjackings, and assaults, and yet progressive groups like The Pritzker Foundation, George Soros, and the Arabella Network all spend millions of dollars to manufacture protests that weaken our communities.”

Financial disclosures show that in 2023 alone, Community Change and Community Change Action received $4 million from Soros’ Open Society Foundations, $680,000 from the Arabella Advisors network, and $145,000 from the Tides Foundation.

Between 2020 and 2023, the groups received $12.6 million from Open Society Foundations, $5.6 million from Arabella’s network, and $1.9 million from the Tides Network, under grants labeled for “civil rights, social action, advocacy” and “social welfare activities.”

Arabella Advisors, based in Washington, D.C., oversees several funds — including the Sixteen Thirty Fund, Windward Fund, and New Venture Fund — that have contributed to Community Change and Community Change Action since 2020.

Additionally, Community Change received $1 million in 2021 and 2022 from Future Forward USA Action, a Democratic-aligned super PAC connected to Future Forward PAC, one of the main political committees supporting former Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election.

Free DC’s website states that it began organizing in 2023 in response to a congressional effort to block a revision of the D.C. criminal code. Neither Free DC nor Community Change responded to requests for comment.

Border Czar Responds to “Former First Drug Addict” Hunter Biden’s Expletive Immigration Rant

/

Border Czar Tom Homan recently reacted to Hunter Biden’s recent F-bomb-filled rant about the deportation of illegal immigrants.

Hunter appeared on the Channel 5 Podcast with Andrew Callaghan, where he discussed various issues, including illegal immigration, his father’s campaign, and Kamala Harris. He attacked top Democrats and called U.S. President Donald Trump and the Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele “f***ing thugs.”

Hunter accused a small group of democratically elected individuals of targeting illegal immigrants by sending “masked men to this marginalized group,” putting them on planes, trains, and buses, and transporting them to “a prison camp in a foreign country.”

“What am I describing right then? Am I describing Germany? Or am I just describing the United States right now? Because I will tell you what. You think that the prison in El Salvador is not a f***ing concentration camp, you’re out of your f***ing mind.”

Biden also lashed out at people who are concerned about illegal immigration, saying we need illegals for unskilled labor.

“How do you think your hotel room gets cleaned? How do you think you’ve got food on your f***ing table? Who do you think washes your dishes?” Hunter fumed.

Shortly after the cringeworthy interview, Salvadoran President Bukele asked if Hunter was “sniffing powdered milk.” 

Appearing on Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle,” Homan dismissed the opinions of the former First Son, who has admitted to abusing illicit drugs. His drug use and the purchase and ownership of a firearm while under the influence of a controlled substance resulted in convictions on three federal charges, for which his dad pardoned him.

“I don’t really care what the former first drug addict thinks,” Homan told show host Laura Ingraham.

The Border Czar expressed gratitude to have a President in the Oval Office who has made the U.S.-Mexico border the most secure it has ever been in the country’s history — in just eight weeks. Homan also celebrated having tripled the number of criminals arrested countrywide during the same period compared to Biden, who had allowed foreign nationals to stream into the country through open borders without proper vetting.

“And now we’re arresting public safety threats and national security threats every day across this country,” Homan continued. 

Ironically, the “minority group in power” that Hunter was ranting about was democratically elected by the American people specifically to secure the nation’s borders.

“There is a minority group that those in power, that came into power through democratically elected means, are going to target this minority group because they’re stealing all the jobs,” Hunter said.

The deportation of illegal immigrants was strongly supported by 66 percent of Americans when President Trump retook the presidency, proving that his immigration policy aligned with the American voters.

Hunter Biden Slammed for Threatening to Invade El Salvador to Return Deported Illegal Immigrants

/

Salvadorian President Nayib Bukele and the White House both trolled Hunter Biden after he made unhinged comments about illegal immigrants that have been deported to the Central American country. 

Biden’s son promised to invade El Salvador if he became president and the country refused to return those illegals deported under the Trump administration. Hunter made the cringeworthy remarks during a conversation with Channel 5 host Andrew Callaghan.

“I’ll tell you what, if I became president in two years from now, or four years from now, or three years from now, I would pick up the phone and call the f‑‑‑ing president in El Salvador and say, ‘You either f‑‑‑ing send them back or I’m gonna f‑‑‑ing invade.’ It’s a f‑‑‑ing crime what they’re doing. He’s a f‑‑‑ing dictator thug,” Hunter said.

He described both President Trump and Bukele as “thugs.” Salvadorian President Bukele issued a hilarious response to Hunter’s threat to invade his country:

“Is Hunter Biden sniffing powdered milk?” Bukele asked.

Hunter has admitted to using a controlled substance, including when obtaining a firearm, a fact that he failed to disclose. That admission resulted in two guilty convictions – one for lying on a federal form and the second for owning a gun while being addicted to illicit drugs.

Interestingly, many of the illegal immigrants that Hunter wishes to return to the U.S. have already been repatriated to their home countries across several continents. 

Just recently, El Salvador sent numerous Venezuelan illegal immigrants deported from America back to their home country in order to secure the release of all American hostages held in that country. It seems that Hunter would need to invade multiple nations to return all illegals deported from the U.S.

Even the most rabid pro-illegal radical Democrats in Congress would hesitate to approve such invasions.

The White House was much more direct and scathing when asked to comment on Hunter’s threat to invade El Salvador.

“Luckily for the American people, a house cat has a better chance of being President than Hunter,” White House spokesperson Anna Kelly told The Hill in an email.

During the same interview, Hunter slammed top liberals for undermining or failing to protect his father. 

He blasted liberal actor George Clooney, accusing him of sabotaging his father’s campaign — with the blessing of Barack Obama.

He also accused Biden’s team of allegedly giving him Ambien on the campaign trail ahead of the disastrous debate that led to his withdrawal from the race.

“They give him Ambien to be able to sleep,” he said.

“He gets up on the stage. And he looks like he’s a deer in the headlights. And it feeds into every f—ing story that anybody wants to tell,” he added.

CNN’s Scott Jennings Slams the Leftist Media’s Narrative on Trump-Epstein Files

/

Scott Jennings, CNN’s sole conservative voice, destroyed the leftist media’s claims that President Trump sent pedophile Jeffrey Epstein a “bawdy” letter on his 50th birthday, three years before his sexual misconduct became public knowledge. The supposed letter was included in a leather-bound album, which the convicted pedophile hid away. 

The propaganda media has taken this story and used it to distract from Trump’s victory in passing the landmark “Big, Beautiful Bill” that slashed over $9 billion in wasteful spending. Jennings was responding to “CNN NewsNight” host Abby Phillip, who brought up the allegations. 

“I mean, my reaction to reading this was, ‘So?’” Jennings said. “I mean, 2003, before anything had happened, we know Donald Trump knew the guy. We also know he disowned him and kicked him out of his club. I was waiting all day long for this rumoring of a bombshell. This looks like kind of a dud to me.”

Meanwhile, President Trump warned that he would sue the Wall Street Journal, and Rupert Murdoch personally, for failing to acknowledge that the alleged letter is fake.

“The Wall Street Journal, and Rupert Murdoch, personally, were warned directly by President Donald J. Trump that the supposed letter they printed by President Trump to Epstein was a FAKE and, if they print it, they will be sued,” Trump wrote on the social media network, Truth Social.

The president claimed that Murdoch had promised to address the fake letter, but obviously failed to handle the situation. The Wall Street Journal‘s Emma Tucker was also warned by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt that the letter was fake, but reporedly “didn’t want to hear that.” 

As a result of the letter being published, Mr. Trump is Suing the Wall Street Journal, NewsCorp., and Mr. Murdoch personally.

“The Press has to learn to be truthful, and not rely on sources that probably don’t even exist,” Trump added. “President Trump has already beaten George Stephanopoulos/ABC, 60 Minutes/CBS, and others, and looks forward to suing and holding accountable the once great Wall Street Journal.”

In the mean time, CNN’s chief data analyst Harry Enten was stunned that Trump’s popularity among Republicans soared amid the Epstein outrage that Democrats have tried to foment. According to a CNN poll, Trump’s popularity has increased from 86% to 88% among Republicans. Quinnipiac’s poll found that the president’s popularity had increased from 87% to 90%.

“You might think his approval ratings were going down with Republicans—if anything, they’re going up,” Enten said.

“He is at the apex, or close thereto, in terms of his popularity with Republican voters,” Enten added.

According to Enten, less than 1% of Republican voters feel that the Epstein debacle is among the country’s top concerns. 

“On X, all you hear about is the Epstein files,” he said, “but how about out in the real public?”

“Not 1%—one respondent,” he lamented.

“Because the bottom line is most Americans say it’s not high up on their priority list,” he continued.

Enten opined that Trump’s credibility has not suffered because the Epstein debacle hasn’t caused widespread nationwide outrage.

While many Americans want to know the truth behind the Epstein files, other issues, such as border security and the economy, dominate the minds of ordinary people.

California Dem Tries to Bum Rush Homeland Security’s Kristi Noem

“Rules for thee but not for me” should be the official motto of the Democrat Party. When conservatives protest at the Capitol over the 2020 election, those Americans are “insurrectionists” and “traitors.” But when Mexican and other foreign nationals wave Mexican flags and set fire to downtown Los Angeles, those people are merely the “unheard” who have “no other way to voice their concerns.”

It’s just like when Black Lives Matter burned cities across the U.S. to “protest” the death of felon and drug addict George Floyd. As long as you’re black or brown, and you hate white people and law and order, you’re covered under the Most Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Jr.’s expression, “riots are the voice of the unheard.”

Lots of liberals are very, very angry that the Trump administration is enforcing immigration law. Officers from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have been increasing their activity, raiding neighborhoods and workplaces to ferret out illegal aliens who’ve been hiding in America and putting a burden on social order and tax dollars. Democrats never met a foreigner they didn’t love (and they’ve never met a white American they don’t hate), so they’ve turned their attention from cartel “heart throb” Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador toward law enforcement officials at home.

Wasn’t it just last month when Democrat lawmakers were flying to the Central American country to do a “wellness check” on the guy? 

Check out California’s Alex Padilla. He’s one of the two Democrat senators from the Golden State. Instead of raising his hand to ask a question of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Padilla bum-rushed the stage. The footage is remarkable. Panting and out of breath as if he were in a state of agitation, Padilla tries to rush through a blockade of security guards and puts his hands up like he’s getting ready to box them. 

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt struck the right note, calling Padilla’s behavior “childish.” He was, of course, handcuffed and arrested. 

Padilla’s Democrat colleagues think their boy is above the law, and that it’s outrageous that police stopped him from rushing Secretary Noem. How very dare they arrest him? 

Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said that watching the video “sickened his stomach,” but that seems unlikely considering Schumer eats raw hamburgers with unmelted cheese. 

Will the public see Padilla as a desperate man who couldn’t be heard? Or will they agree with Leavitt?

Oops! Caught by his own words:

Remarkably, liberal CNN actually seems to understand that Padilla’s behavior was wrong. 

There’s always one guy:

Sweden Begins Paying Immigrants to Voluntarily Leave the Country and the European Union

Sweden Begins Paying Immigrants to Voluntarily Leave the Country and the European Union

/

After accepting the mass influx of refugees under the European Union’s liberal Marxist immigration policies heralded by Angela Merkel et al., Sweden is now desperate to get them out of the country, even to the point of paying them to leave.

Stockholm just announced an ambitious program that will pay immigrant families a maximum of SEK 600,000 ($61,134) to relocate outside the European Union. Spouses/cohabitants also qualify for a maximum of SEK 500,000 ($50,933), while individual adults receive a maximum of SEK 350,000 ($35,974). Families with children under 18 years also qualify for an additional SEK 25,000 ($2,490) per child. Previously, the country had a smaller voluntary remigration grant of SEK 40,000 (€3,903), which only one immigrant took. 

“So far, few people have taken advantage of the opportunity to receive benefits. In the budget bill for 2025, the government announced that the grant will be increased sharply in 2026,” the Ministry of Justice wrote.

The scheme is proof that the European Union’s unchecked immigration policy, which forced individual countries to accept illegal immigrants, has failed, leaving individual countries to deal with the mess. The EU has been fighting with Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic for refusing to take part in the refugee resettlement program that imposed quotas for each country.

Nonetheless, Sweden refuses to accept to acknowledge the failure of unchecked immigration and presents the resettlement scheme as a noble cause to help marginalized people resettle and start life.

“This is about giving people who feel excluded or who haven’t found a place in Swedish society the opportunity for a dignified return and a new beginning elsewhere,” Migration Minister Johan Forssell told the Swedish TT media outlet.

Since most migrants depend on the Swedish welfare system, especially those from Islamic countries who have refused to integrate, the country seemingly prefers a one-time payment, instead of supporting them indefinitely. While promoting the program, Sweden inadvertently acknowledged that it was dealing with reintegration issues.

“Today, there are a large number of people who immigrated to Sweden but who for various reasons have failed to become part of the Swedish community despite being here for a long time,” said Sweden Democrats’ immigration spokesman Ludvig Aspling. 

However, the spokesperson did not mince words about Sweden’s desire to return immigrants to their countries of origin or at least a third country. Seemingly, deporting them is impossible under the tight control of the EU bureaucrats in Brussels.

“Our starting point is that in this case, it is best to return to your home country, as long-term exclusion entails very high costs for society. Financial support for this purpose can increase both the incentives for return and the opportunities for re-establishment upon returning home.”

Meanwhile, Sweden says it has a robust mechanism to prevent immigrants from exploiting the system by taking the grants and sneaking back into the country. Additionally, only those who relocate outside the European Union and selected countries will be eligible.

“But this won’t be a free ticket. If they return to Sweden, they’ll be required to pay the money back,” Forssell said. 

While the most ambitious so far, Sweden is hardly the only European country paying immigrants to leave. Denmark pays immigrants over $15,000 to leave, while France offers $2,800, Germany roughly $2,000, and Norway $1,400.

Considering that immigrants enjoy special privileges in the EU and also benefit from the vast welfare system, this immigration policy is doomed to fail. 

Meanwhile, Sweden continues to grapple with violent crimes perpetrated by immigrants.

Jasmine Crockett Schooled Over Woke Admiral Chatfield’s Firing After “Ego” Comments

/

On April 8, Sean Parnell, the Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs and Chief Pentagon Spokesman, announced that SecDef Pete Hegseth had removed U.S. Navy Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield as the U.S. representative to NATO’s Military Committee.

Parnell explained that her removal was due to a loss of confidence in her ability to lead but thanked her for many years of service.

“Secretary Hegseth has removed U.S. Navy Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield from her position as U.S. representative to NATO’s military committee due to a loss of confidence in her ability to lead. The Defense Department is grateful for her many years of military service.”

Texas Democrat congresswoman Jasmine Crockett attempted to spin the narrative, only to end up potentially justifying her termination. The far-left squad member claimed that Chatfield was removed for refusing to hang President Trump’s and Hegseth’s portraits. 

“They fired Navy Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield—not because she couldn’t do the job, but because she wouldn’t hang up pictures of Trump and Hegseth. This ain’t about merit—it’s about ego.”

However, the Pentagon Spokesman did not hesitate to school her about the military’s code of conduct. Unlike the rudderless, leaderless, and lawless Democratic Party, the military has a strict policy on insubordination and refusal to follow lawful orders.

“Congresswoman, I realize this may be a foreign concept to you but here at the DoD if you disrespect the chain of command & don’t do your job, you will be replaced. Period.”

By virtue of Trump being elected as President, who is also the Commander in Chief, and Hegseth being confirmed by Congress as the Secretary of Defense, they both have the authority to issue non-negotiable orders. If Chatfield refused to hang the portraits as ordered, it surely does not make sense for her to continue serving an institution whose leaders she does not recognize. 

While she may not approve of what Trump and Hegseth are doing with the military, she is obligated to obey lawful orders regardless of personal political beliefs. The military cannot tolerate rebellious officials as that undermines its readiness and warfighting capabilities, which Trump and Hegseth promised to restore. 

Meanwhile, Chatfield’s firing might be related to the Trump administration’s ongoing efforts to de-Wokify the military. The president had promised to remove woke officials from top military positions, and Chatfield was likely hired under Biden’s DEI policies and was advocating for the same. 

“I want to see members of this team offer each other respect for differences, for diversity, for the dialogue from which ideas and collaboration emerge,” Chatfield said in 2019. 

The admiral was also the first female president of the Naval War College, which she joined in 2019, and she rose through the ranks rather too quickly. Her continued presence in the military was likely a relic of a bygone woke era.

Chatfield’s removal is the third seemingly woke-related termination of female officers. Earlier, Trump had fired Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Lisa Franchetti and Joint Chiefs Chair Gen. C.Q. Brown.
