Trump Launches Task Force 250 to Plan an “Extraordinary Celebration” of America

/

President Donald Trump will sign an executive order on Wednesday to establish Task Force 250, a White House-led initiative coordinating the national celebration of America’s 250th anniversary in 2026, Fox News Digital has learned.

The executive order outlines plans for a “grand celebration of the semiquincentennial of the ratification of the Declaration of Independence.” The milestone will mark 250 years since the nation’s founding on July 4, 1776.

The newly formed Task Force 250 will be responsible for organizing and overseeing federal agency efforts related to the anniversary celebrations.

The White House stated that the initiative draws inspiration from the U.S. Bicentennial Celebration of 1976, which emphasized national renewal and unity following a period of division.

“The 250th anniversary will afford an opportunity to unite the American people around their shared history and common future as a nation,” a White House official said.

In addition to establishing Task Force 250, the executive order will reinstate Trump-era initiatives originally signed in 2020 and 2021.

Among them is the creation of the National Garden of American Heroes, a statuary park dedicated to honoring 250 historically significant Americans.

The National Garden of American Heroes was first proposed during Trump’s first term in response to monuments and statues being vandalized or destroyed during nationwide protests.

The garden is expected to feature statues of influential figures, with the first 100 statues commissioned under the new order.

Additionally, Trump’s order will reinstate protections for American monuments, memorials, and statues to prevent their destruction or vandalism.

The White House emphasized that the new executive order is part of Trump’s longstanding commitment to celebrating America’s 250th anniversary and preserving the nation’s history.

Trump previously referenced the upcoming semiquincentennial during his first address to a joint session of Congress in February 2017, stating:

“In nine years, the United States will celebrate the 250th anniversary of our founding, 250 years since the day we declared our Independence.”

The executive orders being reinstated were originally signed during Trump’s first term in response to unrest and violence in cities, where monuments of American presidents and Founding Fathers were targeted and, in some cases, never restored.

As the country approaches July 4, 2026, Task Force 250 will work to ensure that the nation’s semiquincentennial is recognized with a historic and patriotic celebration.

Anna Paulina Luna Files Legislation to Add President Trump to Mount Rushmore

/

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) has responded to the gowing support for President Donald Trump‘s face to be added to South Dakota’s Mount Rushmore, declaring she will be soon introducing legislation to have the job done.

Former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski responded to the proposal during a recent interview on the Benny Johnson Show:

Luna said she would soon file legislation on the matter:

The National Park Service (NPS) web page regarding the monument said: “Majestic figures of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln, surrounded by the beauty of the Black Hills of South Dakota, tell the story of the birth, growth, development and preservation of this country. From the history of the first inhabitants to the diversity of America today, Mount Rushmore brings visitors face to face with the rich heritage we all share.”

Trump denied reports in 2020 that he seriously proposed his likeness be added to Mount Rushmore, but added he “never suggested it although, based on all of the many things accomplished during the first 3 1/2 years, perhaps more than any other Presidency, sounds like a good idea to me!”

Last year, Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., said former president Joe Biden, the worst President in U.S history, should have his face placed on the “Democratic Mount Rushmore” alongside John F. Kennedy and Franklin D. Roosevelt based on his accomplishments.

“And Joe Biden, I believe, will go on the Democratic Mount Rushmore with FDR, with President Kennedy, with President Truman, and with LBJ. And he will certainly be remembered for the 16 million jobs he’s created.”

White House Updates Official Website with Brutal Message Sending Liberals into Meltdown

/

The Spanish-language version of the White House website was taken offline this week, with users being met with a “Page Not Found” error and a button labeled “Go Home.”

The site had been operational until President Donald Trump was sworn in on January 20.

The Spanish-language White House website underscores its longstanding role in reaching Spanish-speaking Americans.

Trump’s administration previously removed the Spanish version during his first term, however; its recent takedown sparked meltdowns among leftists because of the redirect message when one tried to visit the site.

A redirect button reading “Go Home” was present, which some interpreted and some interpreted as a message for Spanish speakers to return to their countries of origin. The message has since been changed to “Go to Home Page” for clarification. Obviously the original “Go Home” message was referring to the home page the whole time, but it’s still a hilarious coincidence, and you know liberals still won’t be convinced it was just that.

TikTok user’s video brought up the issue, saying “For those of us who are immigrants, nothing captures better what went down today than the takedown of the White House website in Spanish that says ‘Go Home.’”

One commenter on X called the wording “devilish,” while another stated, “My jaw actually dropped.”

Other users user speculated that the original message might have been deliberate in order to provoke the left.

White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Harrison Fields addressed the issue, stating that the administration is committed to restoring the Spanish-language section of the website.

“It’s day two. We are in the process of developing, editing, and tweaking the White House website. As part of this ongoing work, some of the archived content on the website went dormant. We are committed to reloading that content in a short timeline,” Fields told the Associated Press.

“By taking down the Spanish website and moving everything to one website, the Trump team is creating a space that will be unified, not divided—bringing Americans together in one place and reinforcing the idea of a unified country—regardless of race, language, country of origin, and culture,” he added.

House Speaker Announces Investigation Into “Disgusting” Presidential Pardons

/

House Speaker Mike Johnson announced a Congressional investigation into Joe Biden’s “disgusting” last-minute pardons of family members and government officials.

At the weekly House Republican press conference on Wednesday, Johnson slammed the former president for his “shocking” pardons, which saw Biden’s brothers, sister and in-laws receive preemptive pardons along with officials such as Anthony Fauci and Gen. Mark Milley.

“It was shocking. I mean, it was shocking what President Biden did on the way out, pardoning his family for more than a decade of whatever activity, any nonviolent offenses. It was breathtaking to us,” Johnson said. “I don’t think that’s anything like that’s ever been anticipated. And by the way, go look at the tape. You know, four years ago when it was just implied that President Trump might do something similar, they were apoplectic. Joe Biden himself, Adam Schiff, Chuck Schumer, roll the tape. They all said that would be crazy and unconscionable. And now they’re cheering it along.”

Describing Biden’s actions as “disgusting,” the House Speaker added: “To us, it probably proves the point. The suspicion that, you know, they call it the Biden crime family. If they weren’t the crime family, why do they need pardons? Right? Look, there’s a lot of attention that’s going to be paid to this. And I think that is appropriate. And we will be looking at it as well.”

Meanwhile, Trump hinted that Biden could be prosecuted because he didn’t pardon himself. “This guy went around giving everybody pardons. And you know, the funny thing, maybe the sad thing, is he didn’t give himself a pardon. And if you look at it, it all had to do with him,” he told Sean Hannity last night.

Many on social media were in agreement with Johnson’s remarks.

Others called for pursuing legal action.

CNN Admits Trump Is More Popular than EVER: “He’s at the Peak of His Power”

/

CNN commentator Scott Jennings weighed in on the inauguration festivities for President-elect Donald Trump and observed how his growing influence is becoming unprecedented.

Jennings emphasized the president-elect’s rising popularity while criticizing Joe Biden and the Democratic Party for their broken promises.

“Trump is now at the peak of his power,” Jennings said.

“Biden’s legacy is giving us Trump 2.0. And he broke his promises: said he would be honest – he wasn’t. He was gonna be moderate – he wasn’t,” Jennings added.

“He was gonna ‘restore the soul of the nation’ – he didn’t. His entire record – it’s gonna be hard to make any comeback.”

Jennings’ comments came during a discussion with Democratic strategist Paul Begala and anchor Jessica Dean.

Begala expressed pride in the outgoing president’s efforts, to which Jennings responded by referencing his own participation in the evening’s inauguration events.

“I’ve gotta say, I’m on my way to a ball – I think you’ve been out to one already,” Jennings quipped.

“I’d like to get into whatever you’re drinking.”

Jennings, who is often referred to as the “black sheep” of CNN, received lighthearted remarks from his colleagues about his dapper tuxedo.

“Scott, I want to get your thoughts on that, but I just looked into the monitor and saw you’re wearing a tuxedo. I want to get your thoughts on that later as well,” Dean joked during the segment.

Begala joined in, adding, “He’s a handsome devil!”

Watch:

The conservative commentator, known for his articulate and pointed arguments, gained widespread recognition in 2024 as a leading conservative voice in media.

Many said Jennings’ growing popularity and ability to connect with audiences could make him a candidate for his own primetime show on the network.

Jennings’ comments reflected the sentiment of conservatives ahead of Trump’s incoming administration and the ongoing debates over Biden’s impact on the nation.

Joe Biden Declares Proposed 28th Amendment As “Law Of The Land” (It Isn’t)

/

Outgoing President Joe Biden has falsely claimed that the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) has been ratified, describing it as “law of the land.”

The ERA has been in the political theatre for as long as Biden himself, having been passed by Congress in 1972. The primary clause states, “Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.”

It has received support from red and blue states amid concerns over potentially undermining traditional gender roles and laws related to women’s protections. By the time of the March 1979 deadline, 35 states had ratified the proposed amendment, with three more doing in the 21st century.

Biden said in a statement on Friday, Jan. 17, that Virginia’s 2020 ratification meant the required 38 state threshold had been reached.

“The American Bar Association (ABA) has recognized that the Equal Rights Amendment has cleared all necessary hurdles to be formally added to the Constitution as the 28th Amendment. I agree with the ABA and with leading legal constitutional scholars that the Equal Rights Amendment has become part of our Constitution,” the White House said in a statement.

“It is long past time to recognize the will of the American people. In keeping with my oath and duty to Constitution and country, I affirm what I believe and what three-fourths of the states have ratified: the 28th Amendment is the law of the land, guaranteeing all Americans equal rights and protections under the law regardless of their sex.”

However, Biden’s claim has been dubious, with Archivist of the United States Dr. Colleen Shogan and Deputy Archivist William J. Bosanko of the National Archives issuing a statement on the proposed amendment in December 2024.

Arguing that the ERA could not be certified “due to established legal, judicial, and procedural decisions”, the two said, “In 2020 and again in 2022, the Office of Legal Counsel of the U.S. Department of Justice affirmed that the ratification deadline established by Congress for the ERA is valid and enforceable. The OLC concluded that extending or removing the deadline requires new action by Congress or the courts. Court decisions at both the District and Circuit levels have affirmed that the ratification deadlines established by Congress for the ERA are valid. Therefore, the Archivist of the United States cannot legally publish the Equal Rights Amendment.”

Biden was quickly subject to a community notes check on X, while many commentors also disputed his claim.

Others believed the declaration to be unconstitutional.

Nancy Mace to Crockett: “Want to Take It Outside?” After Heated Insult

/

A heated confrontation unfolded between Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) and Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) during a House Oversight Committee meeting on Tuesday.

The clash, centered on civil rights and issues related to transgender policies, quickly escalated into a verbal sparring match that garnered significant attention both in and outside Congress.

The disagreement began when Crockett mocked Mace’s efforts to address concerns about biological men in women’s restrooms and sports.

“I can see that somebody’s [Mace’s] campaign coffers really are struggling right now,” Crockett quipped. “So she’s gonna keep saying trans, trans, trans, so that people will feel threatened.”

Crockett’s remarks were accompanied by a dismissive tone, as she added, “And child, listen.”

The comment sparked an immediate and fiery response from Mace. “I am no child! Do not call me a child!” Mace exclaimed. “I am no child. Don’t even start. I am a grown woman. I am 47 years old.”

The South Carolina congresswoman continued to rebuff Crockett’s remarks, adding, “You will not do that. I am not a child. If you want to take it outside, we can do that.”

The tense exchange prompted Rep. Maxwell Alejandro Frost (D-FL) to request that Mace’s comments be stricken from the record.

However, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) dismissed the request, characterizing the remark as a suggestion to settle the discussion over “a cup of coffee, or maybe a beer” outside the halls of Congress.

Watch the video:

The confrontation did not end in the committee room.

Both Mace and Crockett took to X (formerly Twitter) to continue their war of words.

Crockett accused Mace of having “threatened to physically fight me,” while Mace countered with the retort, “If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.”

During the hearing, Crockett also dismissed concerns about biological men in women’s locker rooms as a “fantasy” and accused her Republican colleague of wanting “to be dramatic.”

Mace, a survivor of sexual assault, expressed strong disapproval of Crockett’s comments, calling them dismissive of legitimate concerns.

This is not the first time Mace has been involved in contentious interactions.

Last month, Capitol Police arrested a transgender rights advocate who physically assaulted her.

Mace, who sustained minor injuries requiring medical attention, was vocal in her response, stating, “Your tr*ns violence and threats on my life will only make me double down. FAFO.”

The suspect, 33-year-old James McIntyre of Illinois, was charged with assaulting a government official.

Crockett, meanwhile, has gained a reputation for provocative comments.

At a House Oversight Committee hearing earlier this month, she accused Republicans of using minorities to secure congressional seats for white lawmakers.

In a separate instance, she went viral for a racially charged tirade about “the white man.”

Additionally, Crockett faced criticism during a hearing about border issues when she attempted to demean Donald Trump’s incoming border czar, Tom Homan. Homan responded bluntly, saying, “I don’t know who this lady is. Apparently, she’s not real smart.”

The fiery exchanges between Mace and Crockett highlight the growing tensions in Congress over contentious social and political issues.

With both lawmakers unyielding in their positions, this incident serves as a stark example of the increasingly polarized environment in Washington.

WATCH: J.D. Vance Laughs As Kamala Harris Swears In New Senators

/

Vice President-elect J.D. Vance had a smile on his face at the swearing-in of Senators on Friday, Jan. 3, as his predecessor-to-be recited an Oath of Allegiance.

Kamala Harris, now into her final three weeks as Vice President, was swearing in the six new Republican and Democrat Senators, as well as Vance, as Congress welcomed its newest members.

In what is usually a dull and procedural event, the soon-to-be Veep was spotted chuckling at the situation as Harris swore in the country’s newest Senators, perhaps at how amusing it was that he’d be getting sworn into her job shortly.

Vance appeared to be laughing at a comment or action by his colleague on his left, before returning focus onto Harris. It left many on social media wondering what the Republican found amusing.

Another user noticed an inaccuracy.

Some were also looking forward to the coming days.

Focus Groups Slam Democrats: “Complacent, Elitist, And Out of Touch”

/

In the wake of their 2024 election loss, Democrats are grappling with sharp criticism from focus groups that highlight voter discontent with the party’s perceived detachment, ineffectiveness, and focus on issues deemed irrelevant to their everyday lives.

The findings, gathered by progressive organization Navigator Research and shared with POLITICO, shed light on the growing divide between Democratic leadership and the electorate.

Navigator Research conducted focus groups with swing voters and former Democrats who supported Donald Trump in 2024 after backing Joe Biden in 2020.

The results painted a picture of a party viewed as complacent, elitist, and disconnected from working-class concerns.

When asked to associate the Democratic Party with an animal, one participant compared it to an ostrich, saying, “They’ve got their heads in the sand and are absolutely committed to their own ideas, even when they’re failing.”

Another likened the party to a koala, critiquing Democrats as “complacent and lazy about getting policy wins that we really need.”

Another participant was more direct, stating, “Democrats are not a friend of the working class anymore.”

A Georgia man who switched his vote to Trump in 2024 noted the party’s focus on social progressivism.

“I think what the Democratic elites and their politicians believe is often very different from what the average Democratic voter is. The elites that run the Democratic Party — I think they’re way too obsessed with appealing to this very far-left social progressivism that’s very popular on college campuses.”

Economic issues like inflation and tariffs revealed additional voter frustration.

Some participants admitted limited understanding of policy implications, while others expressed mixed feelings.

A Wisconsin man stated, “Obviously, I wouldn’t want stuff to go up, but at the same time, in the long run, would it be better off for America and maybe having more stuff made here?”

Rachael Russell, director of polling and analytics at Navigator Research, described the feedback as “a pretty scathing rebuke” of the Democratic Party’s image.

“This weakness they see — [Democrats] not getting things done, not being able to actually fight for people — is something that needs to be figured out. It might not be the message, it might be the policy. It might be something a little bit deeper that has to be addressed by the party.”

Russell suggested Trump’s current popularity reflects a “honeymoon” period, but she predicted a potential shift once he assumes office.

“Once things start happening, it’s going to take a turn, and so it’s going to rely really heavily on the actions in the first 100 days to see how we go from here,” she said.

Focus group participants also expressed doubts about Kamala Harris, the 2024 Democratic presidential nominee.

Descriptions of Harris included terms such as “inauthentic,” “very dishonest,” and “did not seem competent.”

An Arizona man criticized a comment she made during a Detroit speech, “You better thank a union member,” calling it “very disingenuous to me because I didn’t see an honest person that could be president.”

Another former Biden voter who backed Trump in 2024 explained, “It seemed like a lot of what [Harris] came out and said wasn’t really off-the-cuff, wasn’t coming from her. It was planned out and never genuine to her thoughts, whereas Trump, even though you never really knew what he was going to say, it was always him and genuine to what he thought.”

The Trump campaign’s controversial use of a 2019 clip of Harris supporting gender-affirming surgery for prison inmates was also discussed.

The ad’s tagline, “Kamala is for they/them. President Trump is for you,” resonated with some voters.

A Wisconsin woman noted her concerns with the party’s approach to societal norms, including transgender issues. “I think there needs to be some parameters on what’s accepted in society and what isn’t. Some of the societal norms, and I think that the Democrats have tried to open that up a little too much,” she said.

The focus group findings underscore the challenges Democrats face in reconnecting with a broad base of voters, many of whom feel alienated by the party’s current direction.

Trump’s Incoming FCC Chair Issues Warning to Disney CEO

/

President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming Federal Communications Commission, Brendan Carr, fired off a warning letter to Disney CEO Bob Iger telling him he planned to hold news networks — like the Disney-owned ABC News — accountable.

Carr highlighted in the letter that the American people have largely lost trust in the national media. “Dear Mr. Iger, Americans no longer trust the national news media to report fully, accurately, and fairly,” Carr’s letter began.

He then noted ABC’s recent $15 million settlement with Trump. “ABC’s own conduct has certainly contributed to this erosion in public trust,” Carr wrote.

“For instance, ABC News recently agreed to pay $15 million to President Trump’s future presidential foundation and museum and an additional $1 million in attorney fees to settle a defamation case.”

Anchor George Stephanopoulos, a former Democratic strategist, said on a number of occasions that Trump had been “found liable for rape” in the E. Jean Carroll case.

Stephanopoulos had been warned against using the word “rape” prior to the broadcast, but failed to heed those warnings.

Carr suggested that the company was only deepening the public’s mistrust by prioritizing Disney’s paid streaming services over content that might be made available to more trusted affiliates.

“The fact that a massive trust divide has emerged between local news outlets and national programmers like ABC only increases the importance of retransmission consent revenues remaining available for local broadcast TV stations to invest in their local news operations and content that serves their communities,” he added.

Last week, Disney began rolling back LGBTQ-infused shows after reports the entertainment behemoth scrapped its transgender storyline in Pixar’s forthcoming animated series’ Win or Lose.’

The report was later confirmed by a Disney spokesperson, who helped remove the plotline, citing the preferences of worried parents as the reason for the decision.

“When it comes to animated content for a younger audience, we recognize that many parents would prefer to discuss certain subjects with their children on their own terms and timeline,” the spokesperson said.
