What say you Madam Governor? University of Maine Agrees to Ban Men from Women’s Sports to Keep Federal Funding and Comply with Trump’s Order.

Remember when the governor claimed she would see Trump in court over men playing in women’s sports? Well the University of Maine sided with the federal government.

“After the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) initiated a Title IX compliance review regarding federal funding, the University of Maine System (UMaine) has clearly communicated its compliance with Title IX’s requirement to protect equal opportunities for women and girls to compete in safe and fair sports, as articulated in President Donald J. Trump’s Executive Order,” the department’s press release said.

Why eliminating DOE is the right move.

Why eliminating DOE is the right move.

The first move of cutting the staff in half eliminates many patron jobs. Second move to eliminate the red tape removes more folks. Now you have all that money that goes directly to the states.

In fiscal year 2024 alone, the net cost to operate the department was more than $218 billion, according to an analysis from the Pew Research Center. Net outlays, a similar metric that incorporates certain accounting adjustments, totaled $267.9 billion that same year.

That’s 267.9 billion that would go to the states.

Just the beginning. AG Bondi nails three progressives involved in the Tesla vandalism.

I can see it now. Progressives will claim that the DOJ is not going after real criminals but just going after Progressives practicing their 1st amendment rights.

Each suspect faces between 5-20 years in prison. And there are still far more Tesla arsonists at large.

Millions of Americans across the country will welcome this news, particularly Elon Musk, the owner of Tesla. Kudos to Bondi for taking dramatic action.

This should be good. DOGE and Welfare Fraud.

This should be good. DOGE and Welfare Fraud.

SNAP, Social Security, and Medicaid, are next on the list for DOGE. This will have many on the left upping the meds.  “According to the GAO’s own figures, there’s anywhere from $230 billion to $520 billion in fraudulent payments in [social welfare] programs across the board. So, the money is there if it’s looked at.”

Going after fraud in programs such as Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and SNAP is not the same thing as “cutting benefits,” as Elon Musk and the Trump administration have tried to stress. Politically, Democrats see a potential wedge issue if they can persuade large numbers of Americans that their benefits will be cut. That was, for example, the reason Texas Democratic Rep. Al Green yelled at President Trump during his recent address to Congress, for which he was censured the next day.

Fraud is always a problem in government social welfare programs.

Dogequest looks like a obscure website I’m familiar with.

If you haven’t heard of dogequest, you will. A far left website that has posted on a searchable map the names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of Tesla owners across the United States. But there’s more.

The map also shows the addresses of Tesla dealerships, the locations of Tesla superchargers, and the personal information of some Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) employees.

And the website uses a Molotov cocktail as its cursor. Oh the website will remove your personal information if you show them proof that you sold your Tesla.

NBC had to admit that we’re on the right track.

What’s it tell us when even NBC has to admit that the country is moving forward. Back in November (Under Biden) only 27% of the country said we were on the right track. That’s changed.

44% of Americans say the country is headed in the right direction under President Trump, up from just 27% in November.

“If that doesn’t seem like a lot, the last time it cracked 40%, you gotta go back to 2012. The last time it actually hit 44% or higher — January 2004.”

What’s it tell you when the face of the Democrat Party is AOC?

So when it comes to who best describes the Core beliefs of Democrats, AOCis the party leader. What does that say for regular Democrats who still have morals and ethics?

The folks behind her are not much better. this all according to the latest CNN Poll.

The poll, conducted March 6-9 among approximately 500 Democrats and Democrat-leaning independents, resulted in the far-left congresswoman coming out on top with ten percent of the vote for representing the party’s “core values”:

AOC 10% Kamala Harris 9% Bernie Sanders 8% Hakeem Jeffries 6% Barack Obama 4% Jasmine Crockett 4% Gavin Newsom 2% Nancy Pelosi 2% Elissa Slotkin 2% Chuck Schumer 2% Tim Walz 1% Andy Beshear 1% Cory Booker 1% Al Green 1% Chris Murphy 1% Pete Buttigieg 1% Gretchen Whitmer 1% Josh Shapiro 1% Elizabeth Warren 1% Ken Martin 1% Joe Biden 1% Adam Schiff 1% Amy Klobuchar 1% Jamie Raskin 1% Hillary Clinton 1% John Fetterman 0%

Yes Virginia, DEI is racism. Shut down those schools who practice it.

45 schools maybe practicing racism, so the DOE is going to investigate. I say take it a step further. Investigate all schools college high school, and grade schools for DEI practice.

Asians and whites are those most effected. Isn’t it strange that the two races that score the highest are the ones most discriminated against?

U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon said in a statement:

The Department is working to reorient civil rights enforcement to ensure all students are protected from illegal discrimination. The agency has already launched Title VI investigations into institutions where widespread antisemitic harassment has been reported and Title IX investigations into entities which allegedly continue to allow sex discrimination; today’s announcement expands our efforts to ensure universities are not discriminating against their students based on race and race stereotypes.”

“Students must be assessed according to merit and accomplishment, not prejudged by the color of their skin. We will not yield on this commitment,” she added.

Short and Sweet. Trump orders attacks on Progressive allies in Yemen. Let’s be honest the Progressives have the same ideology when it comes to the countries of the United States and Israel (As we know them now). Death and destruction

President Trump decided to spank the progressive allies in Yemen.

Today, I have ordered the United States Military to launch decisive and powerful Military action against the Houthi terrorists in Yemen. They have waged an unrelenting campaign of piracy, violence, and terrorism against American, and other, ships, aircraft, and drones.

Joe Biden’s response was pathetically weak, so the unrestrained Houthis just kept going. It has been over a year since a U.S. flagged commercial ship safely sailed through the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, or the Gulf of Aden. The last American Warship to go through the Red Sea, four months ago, was attacked by the Houthis over a dozen times. Funded by Iran, the Houthi thugs have fired missiles at U.S. aircraft, and targeted our Troops and Allies. These relentless assaults have cost the U.S. and World Economy many BILLIONS of Dollars while, at the same time, putting innocent lives at risk.

Why Tariffs or the threat of, work.

So far President Trump has paused Tariffs on the auto industry until April 2nd. He recently spoke with the big three. And it looks as if he’s getting results.

GM and Stellantis both have made commitments to spend more on US plants. GM said their investments can be as high as 60 billion. No word yet from Ford.

Honda who’s not part of the big three has stated that a new plant is going to be built here. All this because of a threat. Winning.
