America Wins, Cry Harder

America Wins, Cry Harder

It’s not every day the Supreme Court hands down a legal earthquake, but this week, it did. In fact, it dropped an entire tectonic plate on the heads of the radical Left.

A string of rulings came down that can only be described as massive wins, not just for President Trump, but for America.

On their own, any one of these would be a generational victory. Together? They’re a total body slam.

Let’s recap the carnage.

First, the Court ruled that states can cut off taxpayer dollars to abortion mills like Planned Parenthood. Let me repeat that: You no longer have to fund the slaughter of innocent children if your state says “No.” For decades, the abortion cartel operated like a taxpayer-funded mafia. No more. That gravy train just hit a legal brick wall.

The pro-life movement has fought for this since the fall of Roe. Now, states can say, “Not with our money.” It’s a victory for life, for liberty, and for every single person who believes their conscience shouldn’t be trampled to fund the barbarism of abortion-on-demand.

Then came the haymaker for parental rights. The Court ruled that parents have the right to opt their kids out of LGBTQ+ curricula. After years of being told to sit down and shut up while woke school boards and rainbow-clad bureaucrats shoved radical gender ideology down our kids’ throats, the Court just slammed the door shut.

Newsflash to the alphabet mafia in America’s public schools: Parents are back in charge. Deal with it.

But wait—there’s more. The Court also ruled that states have the right to impose age limits on pornography. Yes, it’s 2025 and we apparently needed the Supreme Court to confirm that 11-year-olds shouldn’t be free-browsing OnlyFans on their iPhones. This isn’t just a win for parents—it’s a win for basic sanity and a long-overdue protection of childhood.

And then, the grand finale: the Court struck down the abuse of nationwide injunctions by rogue district judges. For years, one activist judge in Honolulu or San Francisco could block the President’s policies for the entire nation—even when those judges had no jurisdiction beyond their courtroom.

Not anymore.

The Court ruled that lower courts can still issue rulings that apply to the actual plaintiffs in a case, but they cannot freeze federal policy nationwide for people who aren’t part of the lawsuit. In other words, judges aren’t roving mini-presidents anymore. Their job is to decide cases, not rule the entire country from a bench in Seattle.

This restores the constitutional order. District courts rule in their district. Appellate courts rule on their circuit. And only the Supreme Court has the authority to impose nationwide decisions.

This dangerous tool—the Left’s favorite weapon to nullify elections and sabotage the executive branch—is dead. Buried. Gone.

So, let’s review the wreckage:
- Taxpayer-funded abortion? DEAD in red states.
- State-forced gender propaganda in schools? DEAD.
- Unlimited porn for kids? DEAD.
- Rogue judges blocking the president for the whole nation? DEAD.

Make no mistake: this is the fruit of the Trump judicial project. While the media hyperventilated over tweets, mean words, and hair color, President Trump was busy reshaping the courts. Three Supreme Court justices. Hundreds of lower court judges. And now, the receipts are coming due.

It’s not just a Trump win. It’s an American win. A win for parents. For kids. For taxpayers. For anyone who believes that decency and the Constitution still matter.

And cue the meltdown. Right on schedule, MSNBC switched to full-time grief counseling. CNN went into DEFCON-1 hysteria. Planned Parenthood is hyperventilating into its blood-soaked fundraising letters. And the woke mobs on TikTok? Oh, the tears are glorious.

Cry harder.

The truth is simple: this is what happens when Americans show up, when we vote, when we fight. When we stop being afraid of the shrieking activists and start defending the country we actually want to live in.

This is what happens when the Constitution gets enforced. This is what happens when parents say, “Enough.” This is what happens when taxpayers refuse to fund evil.

And this is what happens when President Donald J. Trump picks the judges.

AMERICA Wins. CRY HARDER!

Pride Month Takes Another Hit With Pete Hegseth's Official Military Ship Announcement

Pride Month Takes Another Hit With Pete Hegseth's Official Military Ship Announcement

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced on Friday that he was taking the "politics out of ship naming," renaming a vessel that was previously named in honor of a San Francisco gay rights icon to honor instead a World War II Congressional Medal of Honor recipient.

"I am pleased to announce that the United States Navy is renaming the USNS Harvey Milk to the USNS Oscar V. Peterson," the post on X from Hegseth read. "We are taking the politics out of ship naming."

In a video accompanying the post, the secretary stated that he was proud to announce the Department of the Navy has renamed the Military Sealift Command's underway replenishment oiler.

"We're not renaming the ship to anything political," Hegseth said. "This is not about political activists, unlike the previous administration. Instead, we are renaming the ship after a United States Navy Congressional Medal of Honor recipient. As it should be."

"People want to be proud of the ship they are sailing in," he added. "And so we are renaming it after a Navy chief that, during the Battle of the Coral Sea of May of 1942, Chief Watertender Peterson led a repair party on the USS Neosho. The ship was severely damaged by Japanese dive bombers, and the entire repair party was either killed or severely wounded."

"Peterson himself was gravely wounded. Yet, he managed to single-handedly close the bulkhead stop valves, thereby helping to keep the ship operational," Hegseth continued. "In performing his heroic actions, Peterson received additional injuries and burns, which tragically resulted in his death. But his spirit of self-sacrifice and concern for crewmates was in keeping with the finest traditions of the Navy."

The secretary went on to explain that Peterson, "for his heroic actions," was posthumously awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor.

He closed out the clip, making it clear he was officially welcoming the USNS Oscar V. Peterson to the Navy vessel registry.

Earlier this month, RedState reported that the renaming of the ship, part of the "John Lewis" class of logistics ships, was happening. But it was unclear what the vessel's new name would be.

As Streiff wrote:

President Barack Obama's Navy Secretary Ray Mabus inaugurated the John Lewis class in January 2016. The lead vessel in the class was named after Georgia Congressman and civil rights figure John Lewis. Lewis had no connection to the U.S. military or the Navy. The other active vessel in the class, besides the USNS Harvey Milk and USNS John Lewis, is the USNS Earl WarrenShips for Robert F. Kennedy, Lucy Stone, and Sojourner Truth have been christened. Ships named for Thurgood Marshall and Ruth Bader Ginsburg are under construction. Those named for Harriet Tubman and Dolores Huerta have been ordered.

Milk was a problematic choice from any perspective other than trying to be "in your face" about his flamboyant variety of homosexuality. Milk got an other-than-honorable discharge from the Navy for engaging in homosexual acts. According to his biographer Randy Shilts in "The Mayor of Castro Street," Milk frequently attempted to prey on young sailors while he was a Navy officer; he had an underage teen as a paramour when he was 33, and he was a supporter of Jim Jones's Peoples Temple before the whole Flavor-Aid messiness. But, from an administration that awarded a Presidential Medal of Freedom to Milk, it is no surprise that he was allowed to make thousands of sailors the butt (can I do that?) of jokes by naming a ship after him.

Now, it's been renamed after a great American naval hero. These are the kind of things I definitely voted for.

'Game on': Tom Homan Has a Pointed Message for Zohran Mamdani Over Vow to 'Trump-Proof' NYC If Elected

New York Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani's apparent victory in New York City's Democrat mayoral primary has sparked a national conversation surrounding what it would mean for the future of the Big Apple - and the Democrat  Party - were the Democrat Socialist party member to get elected in November.

Among the things he's pledged to do if elected are rent freezes, city-owned grocery stores, raising the minimum wage to $30 by 2030, and "Trump-proofing" NYC, which would include ending all cooperation with ICE and "strengthening" Resistance efforts on behalf of illegal immigrants.

"He’ll ensure our immigrant New Yorkers are protected by strengthening our sanctuary city apparatus: getting ICE out of all City facilities and ending any cooperation, increasing legal support, and protecting all personal data," it was noted on Mamdani's platform page

Naturally, such vows have gotten the attention of border czar Tom Homan, who said in a Fox News interview that federal law enforcement officials would be "doubling down and tripling down" on immigration enforcement in sanctuary cities like NYC and knew how to do end runs, if necessary, around whatever Mamdani has in store if elected:

"Federal law trumps him ... every day, every hour of every minute," Homan continued. "We're going to be in New York City, matter of fact, because it's a sanctuary city and President Trump made it clear a week and a half ago, we're going to double down and triple down on sanctuary cities."

Homan later added: "Were going to concentrate in sanctuary cities because we know they're releasing public safety threats and national security threats back to the street, so we know we've got a problem there."

Homan also noted that if they couldn't pick up illegals at courthouses or jails, they'd find them in other ways:

Trump's border czar asserted that if immigration enforcement officials can't arrest people in jail, they would "find them" in neighborhoods or work sites, adding, "so game on, we're coming."

Watch:

Trying to "Trump-proof" their liberal enclaves is something we're also seeing being attempted in other deep blue parts of the country like California, where Gov. Gavin Newsom signed two bills back in February to "Trump-proof" the Golden State by way of providing what some Republican lawmakers called a $25 million "slush fund" for "legal battles" against the Trump administration and another $25 million "for local legal [aid] services."

It's hard to predict what's going to be more fascinating to watch play out if Mamdani wins in November: Sen. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) trying to walk the tight-rope between being the most powerful Jewish elected leader in America and having to play nice with the openly antisemitic mayor of one of the world's most iconic cities, or the legal wrangling that undoubtedly will go on between a Mamdani administration and Trump's DOJ over the "Trump-proofing."

But the election's gotta happen first, of course. We'll see what happens after that.

Senate Republicans: Remove Green Subsidies From Beautiful Bill

Senate Republicans: Remove Green Subsidies From Beautiful Bill

Take a walk down memory lane. It’s the summer of 2017, and Republicans who control both chambers of Congress are hard at work enacting President Donald Trump’s campaign promises. High atop that list is the repeal of the Affordable Care Act, the legislative namesake of former President Barack Obama. After fitful starts and stops, the GOP legislative effort goes down in flames, marking a significant setback not only to the new president, but also every member of Congress who pledged to repeal and replace ObamaCare.

It's hard to believe, but eight years later, Republicans are facing a similar nightmare situation via the green subsidies in former President Joe Biden’s so-called “Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)”. Like ObamaCare, the IRA was the legislative centerpiece of the previous administration’s tenure. Like ObamaCare, it carries a massive price tag, nearly $2 trillion, according to some estimates. And like ObamaCare, President Trump has vowed to rip it out by its roots.

As the old saying goes, those who ignore the mistakes of the past are doomed to repeat them, a lesson Republican members of Congress would be wise to heed. 

President Trump has left no doubt where he stands. In a Truth Social post over the weekend, he declared, "I HATE 'GREEN TAX CREDITS' IN THE GREAT, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL. They are largely a giant SCAM.” His FY 2026 budget sought to eliminate funding for the “Green New Scam.”

The Senate version of the budget reconciliation package, known as the Big Beautiful Bill, does not go as far as its House counterpart rolling back the green tax credits within the IRA. Some Republican senators are even trying to preserve taxpayer green giveaways.

This is the absolute wrong approach. Here are three reasons why.

First, the Trump Administration has made clear its priorities are with fossil fuels. His day one executive order called for unleashing “America’s affordable and reliable energy and natural resources.” To underscore the point, President Trump established a National Energy Dominance Council (NEDC). As the executive director of the NEDC, Jared Agen, recently told Politico, “The president is not focused on wind and solar.”

There is no ambiguity in any of these statements. So why would congressional Republicans do anything but follow the leader of the party?

Second, green energy is unreliable. Yes, solar panels don’t work when the sun isn’t shining, and wind turbines are ineffective when the wind isn’t blowing. But their lack of reliance goes further. Green energy also doesn’t work without being propped up by the taxpayers.

According to the Energy Information Administration (EIA), wind and solar combined for 94 percent of the federal renewable electricity-related subsidies in FY 2022, while producing a combined 5.5 percent of primary energy. Mind you, these numbers were before the IRA became law. Hardly a worthy return on investment.

Finally, eliminating all elements of the IRA once and for all is more than a symbolic turning of the page of the failure of the Biden years. It sends the message that American dominance is back and our country is indeed “hot as a pistol,” as President Trump declared.

Energy security is national security, plain and simple. Joe Biden's war on American energy emboldened the Iranian regime. As Interior Secretary Doug Burgum noted, Biden issued 68 executive orders targeting Alaska’s sector – far tougher than he ever was toward Iran, whose oil exports increased during the Biden administration.  Biden looked the other way on the sanctions issued during the first Trump administration.

After President Trump destroyed the Iranian nuclear sites this weekend, fears grew that the regime would retaliate by closing the Strait of Hormuz, through which one-fifth of daily global production flows each day.

Access to reliable energy equals global dominance. Our country is blessed with incredible natural resources, and under President Trump, we have a leader determined to take full advantage.

Eight years on, the failure to repeal ObamaCare remains a blemish on the entire conservative movement. We’re still living with its consequences. Even supporters of the law, like socialist Senator Bernie Sanders, describe the health care system as “totally broken.”

Let’s not make the same mistake with the IRA. End Biden’s green energy giveaways now and allow American energy dominance and the will of the American voters to flourish.

Trump Obliterates. Blinken Hyperventilates.

Trump Obliterates. Blinken Hyperventilates.

AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite

Former Secretaries of State—particularly the ones from Team Obama-Biden—have this truly special skill. A skill so refined, so surgical, that it leaves observers in awe. It’s the uncanny ability to be completely, irreversibly wrong about nearly everything… while sounding painfully self-assured in the process.

Enter Antony Blinken.

The poor guy is practically sputtering. One minute, he’s scolding President Trump for having the sheer audacity to obliterate Iran’s nuclear weapons infrastructure. The next, he’s openly hoping it “inflicted maximum damage.”

Buddy… it did.

Maxar satellite imagery confirms what most of the globe already suspected. Where Iran’s nuclear enrichment facilities once stood—Fordow, Natanz, Isfahan, and deep-penetration underground sites—there are now giant, smoking craters. Gone. Erased. Vaporized.

Poof. No more centrifuges. No more bomb-making material. No more threats of mushroom clouds rising over Tel Aviv, Riyadh, or, frankly, New York.

And yet Blinken—this walking, talking contradiction—has the gall to simultaneously condemn the strike, and whisper a backhanded prayer that it worked. Because, deep down, even he knows what everyone else with half a functional brain knows: Trump’s decision wasn’t just correct—it was essential.

As President Trump arrives at the NATO Summit today, there’s a not-so-quiet buzz among the delegates. In fact, it’s not even subtle. World leaders—some of whom spent years sneering at him—are texting him congratulations.

Not the usual political fluff. Not “thank you for your leadership” boilerplate nonsense. No—they’re calling his actions “extraordinary.”

Not just because the strikes eliminated Iran’s nuclear capability.

Not just because the Ayatollah’s regime woke up (what was left of it) to a world where their leverage had been turned to dust.

But because—within hours—peace emerged between Israel and Iran. Yes, you read that right. Peace.

No pallets of cash were required. No drawn-out backroom bribes. No concessions that sell out America’s allies. Just raw, undeniable strength. The kind the world hasn’t seen since Reagan told Gorbachev to tear down a wall—and meant it.

As if torching Iran’s nuclear ambitions wasn’t enough for one news cycle, President Trump also managed to pull off something that every president before him had whined about but failed to do.

NATO allies—who have historically dragged their feet to pony up the 2 percent of GDP minimum defense spending—are now moving to 5 percent.

Five. Percent.

Let that sink in.

The same European leaders who once wagged fingers, rolled eyes, and lectured about “American overreach” are now opening their wallets wider than ever before.

Why? Because strength commands respect. Because reality smacks harder than virtue signals. Because when America leads with certainty and unapologetic resolve, the free world follows—and our enemies retreat.

Contrast that with Antony Blinken—the human shrug emoji.

Here’s a man who spent his entire tenure wringing his hands over “escalation,” “provocation,” and “diplomatic norms”—all while Iran enriched uranium to 84 percent, funded terror proxies across the globe, and plotted the deaths of Americans and Israelis alike.

When faced with evil, Blinken hosted symposiums. When confronted by aggression, he scheduled Zoom calls. When enemies needed to be deterred, he drafted statements “expressing concern.”

And the results were exactly what you’d expect. The Middle East in flames. Europe in chaos. American influence slipping like sand through fingers.

Trump’s doctrine is simple: You don’t negotiate with terrorists. You destroy their leverage, then offer them a handshake.

Blinken’s doctrine is equally simple: Offer terrorists a handshake, hope they don’t punch you in the face, and when they do… apologize for being in the way.

One leads to a safer world. The other leads to more body bags.

What’s truly offensive isn’t just the double-speak from Blinken and his ilk. It’s the gaslighting of the American public.

These are the same people who swore that peace couldn’t be achieved without billions in bribes and years of groveling diplomacy. The same people who told you that confronting Iran would ignite World War III. The same people who whispered that Trump was a dangerous warmonger while simultaneously sending 2,000-pound bombs to Ukrainian battlefields without congressional approval.

And yet here we are.

Iran’s nuclear ambitions are now rubble.

Israel isn’t firing missiles—they’re shaking hands.

NATO’s military budget just grew by 150 percent.

And the only missiles being launched today are text messages from European heads of state telling Donald J. Trump: “Thank you for restoring peace.”

So let’s just put it plainly: If Donald Trump is what peace through strength looks like, then Antony Blinken is what weakness through confusion looks like.

One man reshaped the world order by making the hard decision no one else dared to.

The other man wrote a memo about it.

Cruz Calls Out Dems While Highlighting How Left's Attacks on Energy Agenda Are 'Identical' to CCP

Cruz Calls Out Dems While Highlighting How Left's Attacks on Energy Agenda Are 'Identical' to CCP

On Wednesday, the Senate Judiciary's Subcommittee on Federal Courts, Oversight, Agency Action, and Federal Rights held a hearing on "Enter the Dragon—China and the Left’s Lawfare Against American Energy Dominance." It was a hearing led by Chairman Ted Cruz (R-TX), who aptly called out the American left and the China Communist Party (CCP).

During his opening remarks, Cruz issued key reminders about how the threats from the left and the CCP are related. 

"We're witnessing right now a systematic campaign against American energy, there is a coordinated assault by the radical left, backed and paid for by the Chinese Communist Party to seize control of our courts, to weaponize litigation against us energy producers, all in order to undermine American energy dominance at stake is a lot more than an industry," he reminded. "Our energy sector is the engine of American prosperity, the lifeblood of our industrial power, our national security and our geopolitical leverage. If American energy is under attack, so is American security and American independence," Cruz added.

The chairman also spoke to "a three pronged assault" in "the campaign against American energy." The first step, as Cruz explained it, involves how "foreign money from entities tied to the Chinese Communist Party flows into the United States to bankroll climate advocacy groups who litigate against American energy. Then, activist lawyers flood our courts with lawsuits designed not to win policy debates but to bankrupt energy producers and to dismantle energy infrastructure through sheer attrition." The third step involves the courts, as "the judiciary itself is being quietly captured and brainwashed as left wing nonprofits host closed door trainings that indoctrinate judges to adopt the ideological goals of the climate lawfare machine."

In speaking further about the issue of "lawfare." Cruz also issued a key reminder, and a warning. "What we're seeing is not the rule of law. It's lawfare. These lawsuits aren't meant to succeed on the merits, they're designed to exhaust, to intimidate, and to destroy America's energy sector — death by a thousand cuts," he pointed out. 

Cruz regarded that "third prong" as "perhaps the most insidious, because it strikes at the very heart of the rule of law, judicial capture." He specifically called out the Environmental Law Institute (ELI) and its Climate Judiciary Project (CP), which he warned is an organization "with near total control over climate related judicial training." Highlighting their reach, Cruz explained that "if a federal judge or a state judge is receiving 'climate science education' today, chances are overwhelming that it is coming from ELI." 

"The group has established a de facto monopoly on climate rating related in. Instruction for the judiciary. They've "trained over 2,000 judges," Cruz further explained. "They claim to be neutral, they claim to be science driven, but what they are doing is ex parte indoctrination, pressuring judges to set aside the rule of law and rule instead according to a predetermined political narrative. Left wing bankrollers, like the Hewlett Foundation and the Freedom Together Foundation fund CJP," the chairman stressed. 

"They fund CJP to train judges, so 'train' in climate science and make them agreeable to creative climate litigation tactics, then these left wing bankrollers turn around and fund the climate litigators who will bring these bogus cases before those same judges that they've just indoctrinated!" Cruz further illustrated, going with an example of how "this is like paying the players to play and paying the umpire to call the shots the way you want them."

This year, as chairman of the Commerce Committee, Cruz sent a letter to ELI about his "deep concerns" with such a program. He also "initiated oversight requests with federal agencies," he further explained. 

In what he warned is "propaganda," Cruz said he's learned that CJP tells judges that "the consequences of a business as usual scenario would be catastrophic." The CJP also "encourages the judiciary to view climate litigation as a 'unique opportunity for' accountability," Cruz further explained, and "even recommends embracing novel tort theories like public nuisance to assign liability for greenhouse gas emissions." Cruz wondered as to if that is "neutral or is that lobbying behind closed doors?"

When it comes to the funding for what he referred to as "these baseless CJP trainings," Cruz explained that it's "the same dark money donors who bankroll the lawsuits themselves, the same networks that support Sher Edling LLP, which he called out throughout the hearing as "driving" such lawsuits. 

"This is not how a a constitutional republic functions. Courts are not supposed to be laboratories for political activism, and judges are not supposed to be trained by the plaintiff's bar that is receiving their funding from the Chinese Communist Party!" Cruz further stressed. "What we are witnessing is judicial capture driven by ideology powered by money and tolerated by far too many. This three pronged strategy, foreign funding, mass litigation and judicial indoctrination is a full spectrum assault on American energy independence, and while China drills and digs, we sue and shut down."

As he called on Ranking Member Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Cruz also went after his Democratic colleagues on the subcommittee for how they fail to see the severity of the situation by failing to mention "Communist China funneling millions of dollars to pay for these lawsuits," which he called "miraculous." Whitehouse actually made it worse on himself and his party, by reminding that he had referred to Cruz's concerns as "conspiracy theories."

Cruz pushed back against Whitehouse, though, by pointing out that "what is most certainly not a conspiracy theory is that the agenda of the Chinese Communist Party and the agenda of the Senate Democrats are identical." In stressing such a point, he also pointed out that "both China and the Democrats want to bankrupt the energy industry... want to destroy jobs in America... and increase the price you pay for electricity every month, and they want to increase the price you pay for putting gas in your car every week."

"That is the agenda of today's Democrat Party, that is the agenda of Communist China, and today's Democrats are not remotely embarrassed to have their left-wing groups funded by Communist China, the world's biggest polluter, because China's interest is weakening and hurting America!" Cruz said to drive the point home. It makes you ask why an American political party would have that interest as well."

As Whitehouse responded by claiming "saying it more loudly doesn't make it more true," Cruz quipped that "actually, in Washington, sometimes it does."

In some of the more amusing moments towards the end of the hearing, Cruz and Whitehouse got into it over one of the witnesses' answers, specifically those from David Arkush, the director of Public Citizen's Climate Program. As Whitehouse asked if Cruz would allow Arkush to speak, Cruz reminded Whitehouse that the ranking member could do whatever he wished with his own time. 

"It's your time," Cruz reminded him, as Whitehouse then went on to interrupt Cruz, the very behavior that he had just called out Cruz for supposedly doing. As Cruz corrected Whitehouse by pointing out that he and Arkush had been speaking at the end of his own time, he also offered that "you are welcome to sing, you can conduct poetry in iambic pentameter, you can blow a kazoo, you can do whatever you wish!"
