Although a new presidential administration and Republican Congress have claimed support for civil liberties, support remains strong for the liberty-destroying FISA law. The more things change, the more they remain the same.

Mexico president hopeful of deal this week to avert US tariffs
February 24, 2025
Mexico’s president said Monday she was optimistic about reaching an agreement with Donald Trump this week to avoid sweeping US tariffs, hinting at possible levies on Chinese goods to secure a deal. Claudia Sheinbaum said talks with Washington would continue this week in an effort to avoid the 25 percent tariffs that Trump agreed on February 3 to “pause” for a month. Teams from Mexico’s economy and finance ministries are in Washington and if necessary Sheinbaum said she would speak with Trump again by phone, adding: “Whatever it takes to reach an agreement.” Asked about a Bloomberg News report that the United States was pushing her government to impose duties on Chinese imports, Sheinbaum said it was important to “prioritize those places where you have trade agreements versus others where you do not have them.” “We do not have a free trade agreement with China, for example… So that’s part of what is being worked on in this working group,” she added. Both Trump and Canadian officials have accused Mexico of being a gateway for Chinese products coming into North America. In an apparent bid to ease those concerns, Sheinbaum recently presented… […]
Alberta Launching 2 Recovery Facilities Ahead of Tabling Involuntary Addiction Treatment Legislation
February 24, 2025
CALGARY—The Alberta government will build two addiction recovery facilities as it prepares to introduce legislation for the involuntary treatment of people deemed to pose a public safety risk due to addiction issues. The province made the announcement at a Feb. 24 press conference in Calgary, where Mental Health and Addictions Minister Dan Williams described the infrastructure project as a foundation for the “compassionate intervention” bill, which will be introduced in the upcoming legislative session, set to begin on Feb. 25. The legislation would allow relatives, guardians, health care professionals or police officers to request an addiction treatment order for people “who are a danger to themselves or others due to their addiction or substance use.” “We will not sit back while we watch this happen to Albertans, to our loved ones in our communities, and to loved ones in our family who are suffering from this deadly disease of addiction,” Williams said. “With the highest civil standards, we will move forward with legislation that allows society to care for and intervene for those who are most affected by this deadly disease, and today’s announcement is laying… […]
Yosemite Workers Drape Flag Upside Down to Protest Federal Cuts – Twitchy
February 24, 2025
Dr. Lucky Tran, who’s had bylines in The Guardian and the Washington Post, declared that this was a brilliant protest. Apparently, some Yosemite National Park workers spent last week flying the “distress flag” thousands of feet off the ground. That’s one accomplishment they can put in their emails today: “Flew flag upside down to protest the reduction of bloat in the federal bureaucracy.” State Parks seems to be taking DOGE’s cuts hard. As we reported Friday, Alec MacGillis of ProPublica told us of the epic tragedy out of Yosemite National Park, where “the sole employee with the keys and the institutional knowledge needed to rescue visitors from locked restrooms” was laid off. CBS News also ran the story of a park worker who lost his dream job on Valentine’s Day: National Park ranger fired from “dream job” on Valentine’s Day pens emotional viral letter: “Things are not ok”https://t.co/Zzj7JiV45K — CBS News (@CBSNews) February 19, 2025 Li Cohen reports: When Brian Gibbs woke up on Valentine’s Day on Friday, it was just another morning of getting to do what he loved at his “dream job” as an education park ranger at Effigy Mounds National… Read the full article here […]

‘They’re Losing Their Minds’: Mark Halperin, Former DNC Official Say Dems ‘Discombobulated’ Over Trump, Musk
February 24, 2025
(DCNF)—Political analyst Mark Halperin and former Democratic National Committee (DNC) official Lindy Li said Sunday that Democrats have been failing to effectively combat President Donald Trump and Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) head Elon Musk. Since Trump’s November victory, Democrats have been split on how to defend against his agenda. After watching clips of Democratic lawmakers protesting Musk, Halperin and Li both argued on “Sunday Report” that the party’s strategy is misguided. “I’m not a medical professional and I generally urge people not to try to make diagnoses over Google, but this one, I don’t think even requires a Google search,” Halperin said. “They’re discombobulated by Elon Musk because of his power and influence and how quickly he’s moving. And I think most smart Democratic strategists say, ‘Stop attacking the man and focus on the ideas and the impact some of his moves are making,’ but they just don’t seem to be able to resist going after him personally.” “It’s essentially weak sauce. You don’t have much of a fight against President Trump and they’re extremely frustrated to see that most… Read the full article here […]
DC US Attorney Puts TikToker on Notice After She Calls For Assassination of Elon Musk › American Greatness
February 24, 2025
A left-wing New Yorker who posted a video on TikTok calling for the assassination of DOGE chief Elon Musk has attracted the attention of the Trump Justice Department. In the video, posted on X by Libs of TikTok, Sarah C. Roberts blatantly threatens Musk and admits to not paying taxes for the past eight years. Musk responded to the video on X, CC’ing U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Ed Martin, and writing: “Death threat and multiple counts of tax fraud.” “Duly noted, thx for letting us know,” Martin replied. “We’ll put you in the system, talk soon, ma’am.” Roberts’ video is shockingly self-incriminating. “I promised myself that I would avoid the news, but obviously I haven’t” she says very quietly at the start of the now deleted video. Roberts added that she has “one thought” about Elon Musk before making an unsubtle cutthroat gesture. “Like, we need to X him and by X I mean formally known as assassination,” she declared unambiguously. She continued whispering somewhat incoherently about “a warning from the FBI,” going on to dare the feds to “arrest me.” Returning to an audible volume, she exclaimed: “You… Read the full article here […]
Obama Judge Who Blocked Trump’s ICE Raids is Married to Far-Left Open Borders Activist Funded By George Soros | The Gateway Pundit
February 24, 2025
Jacinta Ma / Credit: Georgetown university The Obama judge who blocked the Trump administraiton’s ICE raids is the husband of a far-left open borders activist. On Monday, U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang ruled in favor of a lawsuit filed by left-wing activists seeking to prohibit ICE from conducting raids in churches where many illegal aliens hide from authorities. “The substantial burden that the [Trump administration] policy is far from speculative and is already occurring,” Chuang wrote in his ruling. “It is reasonable to expect that such enforcement actions will occur at Plaintiffs’ place of worship where DHS specifically stated in its press release announcing the 2025 policy that ‘criminals will no longer be able to hide in America’s schools and churches to avoid arrest,’” he continued. JUST IN: Obama Judge Blocks Trump Admin From Conducting ICE Raids at Some Churches Natalie Winters, a co-host of Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast, did some digging and revealed that Chuang’s wife, Jacinta Ma, is the Vice President of National Immigration Forum (NIF), a pro-open borders advocacy group. The organization promotes policies such as a mass amnesty… Read the full article here […]

Lyonne also went on to express how “horrified” she was by the effectiveness of 47th President Donald Trump’s campaign messaging. “I’m actually pretty horrified by how strategic and effective this whole thing has been. And uh, I think there is a real disconnect in all the noise around like the individuals that are gonna really be… Read the full article here […]
Alec Baldwin To Trump Impersonator: “I’d snap your f*cking neck!”
February 24, 2025
The “party of joy” sure does seem angry a lot, don’t you think? Like….violently angry! Where did all the joy go? There’s certainly not a lot of joy for Alec Baldwin these days. Oh sure, he can dish it out….he seems to love making fun of President Trump on Saturday Night Live. But he doesn’t like when other people do the LITERAL exact same thing to him. Watch as comedian and fellow Trump impersonator Jason Scoop rolls up on Alec Baldwin on a New York City street as Baldwin is loading some luggage….. Baldwin ignores him for awhile and then tells him if the camera weren’t there he would snap his neck: “If this camera wasn’t here, I’d snap your f*ing neck in half and break your f*ing neck right over!” Wow, that doesn’t seem very nice! Watch here: Alec Baldwin Loves Me..#thebaldwins #trump #snl #alecbaldwin #jasonscoop pic.twitter.com/ILSIGU66O8 — Jason Scoop (Trump Impersonator) (@JasonScoop) February 24, 2025 Why is the Far Left always so violent? I thought Alec Baldwin loved Trump impersonations, what happened? I will say I thought Scoop was absolutely hilarious….perhaps a bit aggressive (time and place) but that’s the price of fame, Alec… […]
