Trump Keeps Major Campaign Promises In First Weeks

President Donald Trump has held firm on a number of campaign promises to the American people, issuing a slew of Executive Orders (EO) in his first weeks in office, reshaping the future of our nation.

Immigration & The Border

Trump promised to fight the influx of illegal immigrants to the U.S., ending the Biden administration’s “catch-and-release” policy and restarting construction on the border wall. Within days of his second term in office, Trump issued orders designating the flood of immigrants as an “invasion,” ended birthright citizenship to children born of parents in the country illegally, and declared an emergency at our southern border, according to The Christian Post.

Reversal Of DEI, Fighting The Climate Oligarchy

In one order, Trump rescinded almost 80 EOs from the Biden administration, particularly those related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and climate change. He withdrew the U.S. from the Paris climate agreement and the World Health Organization. The Paris agreement is one of countless annual “agreements” that elected officials make to claim they’re doing something to “fight climate change.” Such agreements have existed for decades and led to absolutely no impact on the so-called “climate crisis.”

Energy Independence

The soaring cost of energy, thanks in large-part to the pro-climate lobby and the war between Russia and Ukraine, was another area Trump promised to tackle. On Jan. 20 he signed the EO “Unleashing Alaska’s Extraordinary Resource Potential.”

“The State of Alaska holds an abundant and largely untapped supply of natural resources including, among others, energy, mineral, timber, and seafood. Unlocking this bounty of natural wealth will raise the prosperity of our citizens while helping to enhance our Nation’s economic and national security for generations to come,” the order stated. “By developing these resources to the fullest extent possible, we can help deliver price relief for Americans, create high-quality jobs for our citizens, ameliorate our trade imbalances, augment the Nation’s exercise of global energy dominance, and guard against foreign powers weaponizing energy supplies in theaters of geopolitical conflict.”

No More Weaponization Of Federal Government

Trump pardoned countless pro-life activists in his first week in office, ending a Biden-era trend of Christians being targeted by what many felt was a weaponized Department of Justice. Along with these pardons, Trump issued an EO stating that the “prior administration and allies throughout the country engaged in an unprecedented, third-world weaponization of prosecutorial power to upend the democratic process.” Another EO noted that the “previous administration trampled free speech rights by censoring Americans’ speech on online platforms, often by exerting substantial coercive pressure on third parties, such as social media companies, to moderate, deplatform, or otherwise suppress speech that the Federal Government did not approve.” As a result, Trump signed the EO entitled “Restoring Freedom of Speech and Ending Federal Censorship.”

Tackling Gender Insanity

Over the last four years, progressive lawmakers and activists have sought to destabilize American minds by pretending there are more than two genders: male and female. In an EO titled “Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government,” Trump ordered that sex be defined as “an individual’s immutable biological classification as either male or female.” The order also stated that all inmates be housed in prisons aligned with their sex, and not their self-identified “gender identity.” 

He then ordered that ” it is the policy of the United States that it will not fund, sponsor, promote, assist, or support the so-called ‘transition’ of a child from one sex to another, and it will rigorously enforce all laws that prohibit or limit these destructive and life-altering procedures.”

Military Support

Trump further signed a slew of orders related to the U.S. military, including one that reinstates more than 8,000 servicemembers who lost their jobs for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine. The military will also return to a merit-based social hierarchy where people will be promoted based on their success, not their gender or skin color.

Election Interference

“Holding Former Government Officials Accountable for Election Interference and Improper Disclosure of Sensitive Governmental Information” is the title of another of Trump’s EO, this time focused on ” (i) the former intelligence officials who engaged in misleading and inappropriate political coordination with the 2020 Biden presidential campaign; and (ii) John R. Bolton.” 

“In the closing weeks of the 2020 Presidential campaign, at least 51 former intelligence officials coordinated with the Biden campaign to issue a letter discrediting the reporting that President Joseph R. Biden’s son had abandoned his laptop at a computer repair business.  Signatories of the letter falsely suggested that the news story was part of a Russian disinformation campaign,” the EO notes, before detailing the importance of data from the intelligence community that is “accurate, crafted with professionalism, and free from politically motivated engineering to affect political outcomes.”

ESPN’s Stephen A Smith Torches Biden And The Dems: “You’re Full Of It”

ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith delivered a fiery critique of Joe Biden’s decision to pardon his son, Hunter Biden.

Smith accused the outgoing president of dishonesty and political maneuvering after Biden announced the controversial pardon just days before leaving office.

Joe Biden issued a statement on Sunday explaining his decision to pardon Hunter Biden, who was convicted earlier this year on federal gun charges and tax evasion charges.

Hunter was scheduled to be sentenced on December 12 and December 16 for the respective charges.

Biden described his son’s prosecution as “unfair” and claimed that political motivations had influenced the legal proceedings.

“I believe in the justice system, but as I have wrestled with this, I also believe raw politics has infected this process, and it led to a miscarriage of justice — and once I made this decision this weekend, there was no sense in delaying it further,” Biden said in the statement. “I hope Americans will understand why a father and a President would come to this decision.”

Smith, however, did not hold back in his criticism, accusing Biden of being disingenuous in his explanation.

“Respectfully, to the president of the United States, specifically as it pertains to that statement, you’re full of it,” Smith said. “I’m going to look right here, over the national airwaves, and look the president of the United States in the face and say, ‘You’re full of it.’”

Smith acknowledged the personal nature of Biden’s decision as a father but took issue with the Biden’s lengthy justification.

“I said weeks ago, you’re damn right you should let him off. He’s your son, and he’s a recovering addict, and he’s battled those demons for years,” Smith said.

“The fact that you let your son off, I totally understand. Donald Trump would have let his son off. Anybody would have, or at least most people. I understand that. That’s not the issue, sir.”

The commentator added that Biden could have made his case simply by standing by his son without providing an elaborate explanation.

“All you had to say was, ‘That’s my son. I have the power to pardon him, to grant him clemency, whatever. That’s what I’m doing. You all kick rocks.’ That would have been good enough for me,” Smith stated. “But what’s all of that other stuff you said about him?”

Smith further criticized the timing of the pardon, noting that Biden issued it only after the election and as President-elect Donald Trump prepares to take office.

“You didn’t talk about this then. As a matter of fact, you specifically said you wouldn’t pardon your son … before the election. You’re announcing it now that we know Donald Trump is coming in and about to be sworn in as the 47th president,” Smith said. “You were intending to do this all along, which again is no problem. But it doesn’t make you any less full of it.”

Smith argued that Biden’s reversal damaged the credibility of the Democratic Party, which had spent years criticizing Trump over legal issues.

“Because when you look at Donald Trump and how the Democrats went after him … you do understand the Democrats are no longer in a position to say anything, right? You can talk till the cows come home. You’re whistling into the wind. Nobody wants to hear what you have to say right now,” Smith said.

He concluded by saying Biden’s actions undermined trust in the presidency and harmed the American people.

“All you had to do was say, ‘He’s my son. I can’t let him go to jail,’” Smith said. “What’s the matter with y’all?”

Biden’s decision to pardon Hunter has sparked criticism from both sides of the political spectrum, with many questioning the implications of his actions for public trust and accountability.

WATCH: Chicago Businesses Prepare for Fiery But Peaceful DNC

Chicago businesses are battening down the hatches as the Democratic National Convention rolls into town, bracing for a potential storm of liberal chaos that was conspicuously absent during the Republican National Convention.

Liberals Bring Chaos, Conservatives Bring Calm

As the Democratic National Convention (DNC) descends upon Chicago, business owners are taking no chances. The Windy City’s Loop is transforming into a fortress, with storefronts disappearing behind plywood barriers. It’s a stark contrast to the peaceful atmosphere that surrounded the Republican National Convention, where such extensive precautions were deemed unnecessary.

Scott Shapiro, owner of Syd Jerome menswear store, isn’t mincing words about why he’s fortifying his business. “As we know, this city has a poor track record when it comes to protecting businesses,” Shapiro told ABC7, pulling no punches about Chicago’s Democrat-run administration’s failures.

Democrats’ History of Destruction

Shapiro’s caution isn’t unfounded. His store has been looted or vandalized four times since 2019. It’s a damning indictment of the city’s inability to maintain law and order under Democrat leadership. “We felt it was more prudent to board up, since our customers and their employers have told them to stay home throughout the convention for their own safety,” Shapiro explained, highlighting the fear gripping Chicago’s business community.

“We know from past experiences something could ensue so we want to be proactive and get ahead of it,” Shapiro told WGN TV. It’s a sad state of affairs when American business owners have to fortify their stores against their own countrymen – but that’s the reality of Democrat-run cities.

Lefty Protesters Descend on Chicago

While conservatives gather peacefully, the left seems intent on causing havoc. Anti-Israel groups are gearing up for a “March on the DNC” after strong-arming the city with a First Amendment lawsuit. It’s a recipe for disaster that has Chicago on edge.

“We’re not going to do anything different. We’re going to mobilize,” declared Hatem Abudayyeh, national chair of the US Palestinian Community Network advocacy group, seemingly oblivious to the concerns of local businesses and residents.

As if the threat of property damage wasn’t enough, the convention will also feature a rogues’ gallery of liberal elites. President Biden, along with former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, and Hillary Clinton, are all expected to endorse Kamala Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. It’s a who’s who of left-wing politicians responsible for America’s current state of affairs.

A Tale of Two Conventions

The contrast between the DNC and the recent Republican National Convention couldn’t be starker. While Chicago businesses board up and brace for impact, the GOP gathering was marked by calm and orderly proceedings. It’s a telling difference that speaks volumes about the values and conduct of each party’s supporters.

As Chicago hunkers down for what promises to be a turbulent week, one thing is clear: the party of “tolerance” and “peace” seems to bring anything but to the cities it visits. Perhaps it’s time for voters to take note and consider which party truly stands for law, order, and the American way of life.

Treasure Hunters Recover Hundreds of Silver Coins From Iconic 1715 Shipwrecks Off Florida Coast

A treasure-hunting crew’s dream recently turned into a reality after a group of shipwreck divers stumbled upon over 200 silver coins amidst 300-year-old shipwrecks off the coast of Florida.

The coins found date back to 1715, which came from fleets of Spanish ships coming from the New World at the time, which had been sunken to the bottom of the ocean during their voyage back to Europe due to a hurricane.

A group of divers stumbled upon the hidden treasure while searching near a known shipwreck area off the coast of Florida. Captain Grant Gitschlag and his crew of their boat, the Lily May found a total of 214 coins as well as other artifacts that date back to the 1715 Spanish fleet that was sunken 309 years ago. The discovery was labeled as remarkable, as the area of the wreck had been surveyed many times before, to which no treasure had ever been found. The treasure-hunting team told local Florida media outlet WOFL-TV that they had been searching for treasure for years on the coast of the Indian River County, which is on the east coast of Florida, just north of Port St. Lucie.

A company that owns the exclusive salvage rights to the 1715 shipwreck named 1715 Fleet Queen’s Jewels, took to social media to share the celebratory find with fans. The company posted that the Lily May diving team found the first treasure of the season, with the crew recovering over 200 silver cobs. The salvage company congratulated the crew for their findings which were the first since 2015.

The National Park Services explained a thorough backstory to the many ships that had traveled through those waters many years ago. According to the NPS, pirate ships and other vessels from European countries would attempt to size the valuables from the Spanish fleet ships during the 18th century, which would “jeopardize” Spain’s attempt at dominance in the Americas.

Putin Issues Nuclear Warning to the West

Russian President Vladimir Putin has dangerously played with the threats of nuclear warfare since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. Putin has attempted to strike fear in the hearts of his oppressors by threatening nuclear actions if any NATO countries were to support Ukraine during their battle with Russia in any way, which the U.S. has. However, it seems that the Russian President is back again with more catastrophic threats after announcing his country would be ramping up its nuclear weapons supply.

On Thursday, Vladimir Putin met with graduates of Russia’s military universities at the Kremlin, in which he addressed university students on matters related to Russia’s military capabilities and their “potential” cooperation with NATO, which may seem unbelievable to others in and outside of Russia. Putin also seemed characteristic of the narrative Russia has placed on the West over the past two years, according to Ria Novosti, which is a Russian state-owned news outlet. Putin’s address at the Kremlin started by congratulating the students on their study completion. Following this, the Russian President also took the opportunity to speak on national security in Russia, in which Putin claimed to further develop Russia’s nuclear triad to guarantee “strategic deterrence” and maintain power in the world.

Russia’s nuclear triad in question is a three-part military capability that consists of ballistic missiles that can reach intercontinental distances, submarine-based ballistic missiles, and a bomber aircraft that is capable of carrying nuclear bombs and ballistic missiles. Russia is one of four nations that are confirmed to possess nuclear triads, including the United States, China, and India. In May, the U.S. announced that it was upgrading its nuclear triad, with newly released photos of B-21 stealth bombers conducting test flights.

Although Putin seemed more lenient than usual in his stance towards NATO and the West, the Russian President issued a statement earlier in June stating that the announcement should “not be taken lightly”.
