The incoming Trump administration has said it will prioritize the 1.5 million illegal immigrants who’ve committed crimes — a figure that ignores the crime of crossing the border in the first place — and the 1.3 million immigrants whose asylum requests were denied, but who remained in the country anyway. Of course, all other illegal aliens will be deported – this is just the first phase.

A recent Rasmussen poll shows 64% of Americans favor the incoming Trump administration’s mass deportation efforts. The poll showed remarkable sentiments on illegal immigration across demographics, to boot: “78 percent of white voters, 74 percent of black voters, and 70 percent of Hispanics all agree it is important to stop illegal immigration. This includes 61 percent of Democrats, 90 percent of Republicans, and 80 percent of Independents.”

Reports surfaced this week of migrant caravans forming again, in order to reach the U.S. before then. Meanwhile, Mexico President Claudia Sheinbaum is reported to be cooperating with Trump on the border after Trump reportedly wielded the threat of tariffs against Mexico.

GEICO has introduced a new mandatory training policy requiring employees to state their pronouns during customer interactions, a move that is part of the company’s larger diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiative.

The policy, which was rolled out in November 2024, aims to promote inclusivity and gender diversity in the workplace.

Under the new guidelines, employees are instructed to introduce themselves by sharing their pronouns during customer communications.

SCOOP: Employees at @Geico are being forced to complete mandatory training courses instructing them to provide their pronouns when engaging with customers and how to deal with being misgendered.

Yet another company pushing gender ideology nonsense. We the people want this… pic.twitter.com/rkBj7lJc63

For example, an employee might say, “I use he/him pronouns.” The company views this as an essential step in fostering a more respectful and equitable environment for employees and customers alike.

GEICO, a leading provider of auto insurance, has positioned this policy as part of its ongoing commitment to DEI efforts, which include a broader focus on supporting marginalized groups and promoting gender diversity within the company.

According to GEICO, the training and pronoun usage will help create a more inclusive and supportive environment for both employees and customers, encouraging respect for gender identities.

However, the initiative has been met with criticism from some quarters. Critics argue that the policy is unnecessary and intrusive, with many questioning whether it truly contributes to a positive work culture or whether it is merely another layer of corporate bureaucracy.

Concerns have been raised about the requirement for employees to correct customers who may misgender them during interactions.

Some employees have expressed discomfort, noting that this could lead to uncomfortable and potentially confrontational situations in customer service.

While the company maintains that the policy aligns with its mission of equity and inclusivity, the backlash highlights a significant divide on how DEI initiatives are perceived in the workplace.

Some see the policy as a necessary step toward ensuring all individuals, regardless of their gender identity, are treated with respect.

Others view it as a forced imposition on personal expression, arguing that it could disrupt workplace dynamics and customer interactions.

Despite the company’s commitment to the policy, it is clear that the implementation has sparked a broader debate about the role of DEI initiatives in corporate culture and customer service.

Many are questioning whether these initiatives, which focus on issues like gender identity and pronouns, are becoming increasingly pervasive and if they are truly beneficial to the work environment or if they could have unintended consequences.

BREAKING: GEICO Employees are being FORCED to complete mandatory training courses in introducing themselves WITH THEIR PRONOUNS to customers.

Did everyone forget that GEICO stands for “GOVERNMENT Employees Insurance Company”?

And did GEICO forget that DONALD TRUMP AND MAGA ARE…

— Ann Vandersteel™️ (@annvandersteel) November 25, 2024

As GEICO moves forward with its pronoun training, it remains to be seen how the policy will be received long-term, both by employees and customers.

The company has emphasized that the initiative is part of its broader mission to enhance diversity and support marginalized groups, but with some employees speaking out, it is clear that not all are fully on board with the new mandates.

For now, GEICO is standing by its decision, touting it as a necessary step toward building a more inclusive and respectful workplace.

A seasoned reporter for Axios and previous founder of Politico went on a bizarre tirade attacking Elon Musk for purchasing X and “ruining” journalistic integrity by allowing people to say what they want on his platform X.

Jim VandeHei, who was in Washington D.C. to receive a journalism award from the National Press Club, used the podium to rip Musk’s declaration to X users that “you are the media now.”

Jim VandeHei joined @Morning_Joe to discuss his and Mike Allen's reporting on "Trump's liberal cabinet" and reflect on his Fourth Estate Award acceptance speech at @NPCInstitute.

“My message to Elon Musk is bulls***. You’re not the media!” VandeHei yelled.

“Everything we do is under fire. Elon Musk sits on Twitter every day, or X today. saying like, ‘We are the media. You are the media’…”

“You having a blue checkmark, a Twitter handle and 300 words of cleverness doesn’t make you a reporter any more than me looking at your head, and seeing that you have a brain and telling you have an awesome set of tools makes me a damn neurosurgeon, right?”

VandeHei then encourages his fellow leftists to pat themselves on the back for being bulwarks against Donald Trump‘s looming administration.

“Being a reporter is hard. Really hard. You have to care. You have to do the hard work,” he said.

“You have to get up every single day and say, ‘I want to get to the closest approximation of the truth without any fear, without any favoritism,’” VandeHei added.

“You don’t do that by popping off on Twitter. You don’t do that by having an opinion. You do it by doing the hard work,” VandeHei said.

VandeHei’s remarks were mentioned on “Morning Joe,” where host Joe Scarborough praised the Musk bashing to combat “all of the garbage flying around on social media,” including “lying about what reporters do.”

However, Scarborough failed to mention the fact that he recently visited Trump at Mar-a-Lago to “restart communications” with the president-elect

He then continued mocking Musk.

“Oh! You get your news from a website run by Chinese conspiracy theorists in a Chinese religious cult?” Scarborough said.

“That’s where you get your – no! Social media, people lying every day, every hour, every minute about the news. What you do matters!”

Musk has indeed ruffled many feathers since buying X, mainly because he is exposing the media for what it actually is: a propaganda mouthpiece for the liberal elite.

Among Musk’s many battles was the recent threat by British MPs to “summon” him to their parliament to address allegations he is spreading ‘disinformation.’

In true Musk fashion, he fired back that British MPs “will be summoned to the United States of America to explain their censorship and threats to American citizens.’”

In a surprise to nobody, a new poll reveals what the public thinks about the government coerced transition to electric vehicles: most don’t like it.  Napolitan News Service this week posed a couple simple questions to 1,000 registered voters with the polling help of Scott Rasmussen. “Should the federal government encourage people to buy electric vehicles rather than gas powered vehicles by using regulations and financial incentives? Or, should the government simply let consumers decide what cars best meet their needs?” the online survey read.

Just 26% backed the government incentives, while 67% opposed, preferring instead to allow customers to decide. Another 7% said they’re not sure.

“Currently, the federal government provides a $7,500 subsidy for those purchasing Electric Vehicles,” the news service reports. “Sixty-one percent (61%) of voters favor a proposal to eliminate those subsidies. That support comes from 76% of Republicans and 53% of Democrats.”
The results, while not shocking, are bad news for Democratic lawmakers in both Washington DC and Lansing, both of whom are staking the future on an electric vehicle industry that’s growing far slower than many had hoped. The survey comes as sources close to Trump’s transition team contend the 47th POTUS is crafting plans to kill the $7,500 consumer tax credit for EVs as part of a broader tax reform package, a move backed by the world’s largest EV producer, Reuters reports.

Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) has warned that Denver Mayor Mike Johnston’s open defiance of President Donald Trump‘s deportation plans could result in his removal from office.

During an appearance on Face the Nation, Paul expressed support for Trump’s plans to deport murderers and rapists back to their home country, despite warnings against the optics of using the military to do so.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) says that the mayor of Denver will be removed from office if he resists federal law enforcement officials who are deporting illegal aliens: "It's a form of insurrection" pic.twitter.com/P9e4fVxVxu

— Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) November 24, 2024

“You know, I’m 100% supportive of going after the 15,000 murderers, the 13,000 sexual assault perpetrators, rapists—let’s send them on their way to prison or back home to another prison,” Paul asserted.

“We’ve had a long-standing distrust of putting the Army into our streets,” Paul explained.

“The police understand the Fourth Amendment. They go to judges, get warrants, and ensure specificity. So, I’m for removing these people, but through the normal process of domestic policing.”

Paul described the Mayor’s actions as a “form of insurrection,” which could have legal consequences.

“The mayor of Denver, if he’s going to resist federal law, which is a long-standing history of the supremacy of federal law, if he’s going to resist that, it will go all the way to the Supreme Court,” said Paul.

“I would suspect that he would be removed from office. I don’t know whether or not there’d be a criminal prosecution for someone resisting federal law, but he will lose. People need to realize that what he is offering is a form of insurrection where the states resist the federal government.”

“Most people objected to that and rejected that long ago. So think the Mayor of Denver is on the wrong side of history, and really, I think, will face legal ramifications if he doesn’t obey the federal law,” he added.

Johnston recently vowed to transform Denver into a so-called “fortress of resistance,” declaring his city a sanctuary for illegal immigrants, including those with criminal records.

Johnston’s strategy involves mobilizing Denver police officers to obstruct federal authorities from carrying out Trump’s deportations.

However, Johnston later walked back the remark following severe backlash.

9NEWS Reporter Marc Sallinger asked Johnston about his willingness to participate in civil disobedience against the deportation.

“If I believe that our residents are having their rights violated, if I think things are happening that are illegal or immoral or un-American in our city, I would certainly protest it, and I would expect other residents would do the same,” Johnston said.

The Denver Mayor was also asked about Trump’s border Czar’s recent warning that those obstructing the deportation efforts could face jail time.

“Yeah, I’m not afraid of that. I’m also not seeking that,” Johnston responded.

“I think the goal is we want to be able to negotiate with reasonable people on how to solve hard problems. Republican and Democratic presidents in the past have all tried to find solutions to these problems.’

“President Reagan helped people get access to work so they could stay and support themselves. Biden and Harris worked on restricting entry at the border to close it down. There are a lot of ways to approach this problem. We don’t think it has to come to this.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken has been receiving a major pummeling online after reports emerged that he held therapy cry sessions for White House employees following President-elect Donald Trump‘s election victory.

The therapy sessions the State Department held for employees dealing with election fallout.

An internal State Department email titled “Managing stress during change” encourages employees to attend a one-hour session to discuss their feelings about the election results.

In other words, White House staff experiencing a major flare ups of TDS symptoms can come and have a group cry together at the expense of the American taxpayer.

“Change is a constant in our lives, but it can often bring about stress and uncertainty,” the email said.

“Join us for an insightful webinar where we delve into effective stress management techniques to help you navigate these challenging times.”

“This session will provide tips and practical strategies for managing stress and maintaining your well being.”

Rep. Darell Issa (R-CA), a senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, mocked the sessions, calling them “unacceptable” for the State Department to tolerate this.

“It is disturbing that ostensibly nonpartisan government officials would suffer a personal meltdown over the results of a free and fair election, something the United States champions around the world,” Issa wrote in a letter to Blinken.

“It is unacceptable that the Department accommodates this behavior and subsidizes it with taxpayer dollars.”

“The mental health of our foreign service personnel is important, but the Department has no obligation to indulge and promote the leftist political predilections of its employees and soothe their frayed nerves because of the good-faith votes of—and at the personal expense of—the American taxpayers,” he continued.

Issa took it further: “The mere fact that the Department is hosting these sessions raises significant questions about the willingness of its personnel to implement the lawful policy priorities that the American people elected President Trump to pursue and implement,” the letter said.

“The Trump Administration has a mandate for wholesale change in the foreign policy arena, and if foreign service officers cannot follow through on the American people’s preferences, they should resign and seek a political appointment in the next Democrat administration.”

Remember the song?

“School days, school days
Dear old Golden Rule days
‘Reading and ‘riting and ‘rithmetic
Taught to the tune of the hick’ry stick”

The 1907 ditty is probably not allowed to be played in any American school, or even referred to historically, since the modern consensus is that hitting children with a stick is abusive. And we don’t abuse children in our public schools, do we? 

That’s one of the “fascinating” bits of double-think in modern life: the notion that only physical hitting is abusive, and that it’s the only kind of mistreatment society should take seriously. Warping the minds of children is just fine though. No, it’s more than fine. It’s loving and beautiful, and so very necessary. That’s what adherents of “gender ideology” tell us when they justify their strange desire to tell children that they are “born in the wrong body,” and to instruct public school children on the right way to enjoy masturbation. 

From experience, this writer knows that what schools are pushing on kids is so dire, and so bizarre, that many adults simply will not believe it, even when the evidence is put in front of them. They remember bells between class periods, orderly lines at the cafeteria, and history classes that taught history instead of hard-left ideology. 

But adults need to get an emotional grip and accept the truth: pornography and perversion is standard academic fare in American public schools. And parents who object are treated as if they were, somehow, the perverts and deviants for wanting to keep smut out of their children’s schools. 

Take the book “Genderqueer” by Maia Kobabe, who wants you to believe that she is a genderless “non-binary” being. The book, a graphic novel (in every sense of the term), depicts drawings of masturbation, fellatio, and more, between minors. Would you be shocked to know that it’s available in public school libraries around the country? Would you be shocked to know that most school boards defend the book even when they shut down parents for reading from it at meetings because the contents are too obscene?

It’s true. 

Trump may have won the election, but the left will not easily give up the mind control it has been allowed to have over our children for at least a decade. Take this kindergarten curriculum from New York State’s Hillside School. Again, this is a curriculum for kindergarteners. For five-year-olds. LibsofTikTok brings the news:

Teri Singleton is still waiting for answers. It’s been nearly three weeks since her husband, beloved 72-year-old Detroit-area pastor Stephen Singleton, was struck and killed by an illegal immigrant motorist as he crossed Rochester Road in Rochester Hills. A “gravely injured” Singleton, who was wearing a lighted reflective vest and using a crosswalk at the time, was rushed to the hospital. The illegal immigrant behind the wheel of the 2013 Ford Focus that sent him there was questioned by police, then released. “I had to sit and watch my husband of 53 years die in front of me and then to know that the person who did this is walking around is very difficult to deal with,” Teri Singleton told WJBK.

For several days, the Singleton family was left with little more than time to reflect on the pastor’s dedication to serving his community and others in need. Among the memories are the former medic’s efforts to search for survivors and offer spiritual guidance in New York City in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, mission trips to Africa, and driving supplies to survivors of Hurricane Katrina and a deadly Alabama tornado.

The Oakland County Sheriff’s Office told WXYZ the driver of the vehicle is an illegal immigrant from Columbia who held a valid foreign driver’s license that’s recognized in Michigan. Officials did not release the immigrant’s name, but said neither speed nor alcohol are believed to be factors in the crash, which occurred in a commercial area with a 45 mph speed limit. U.S. Customs and Border Protection confirmed the 28-year-old driver is in the country illegally, and is now free while awaiting a federal court date, WJBK reports. “He’s dead and they’re walking around,” Teri Singleton said. “That’s bothering me.”
