Mike Huckabee Confirmed As U.S. Ambassador to Israel

On Wednesday, former Gov. Mike Huckabee (R-AR) was confirmed as the U.S. ambassador to Israel. The 53-46 vote, the same as Tuesday's vote to advance the nomination, was not solely along party lines, as Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) voted both to advance the nomination and to confirm Huckabee.

Huckabee has already been in the news this week, and in a way that's sure to help Israel, as he warned that President Donald Trump "is not kidding around" when it comes to putting Iran in its place, and thus the hostile nation had "better take [Trump] seriously."

Last November, not long after Trump nominated Huckabee to the position, the former governor
also previewed an expansion of the Abraham Accords negotiated by the president during his first term. The historic moment took place in September 2020 on the South Lawn of the White House, where Trump hosted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, United Arab Emirates Foreign Minister Abdullah bin Zayed al Nahyan, and Bahrain Foreign Minister Abdullatif bin Rashid Al-Zayani.

Huckabee has received considerable support for the new position, including from all Republican senators plus Fetterman, as well as the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC).

In a post congratulating Huckabee on his confirmation, the RJC declared in part that "Israel has had no greater friend in the White House than President Trump, and Ambassador Huckabee will serve with distinction as part of the Trump administration's Pro-Israel Dream Team."

TIPSHEET

Elise Stefanik Is Back in House Leadership

Rebecca Downs | April 09, 2025 6:00 PM

That didn't take long. Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) is back in leadership. Less than two weeks after the Trump administration withdrew her name from consideration to serve as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) made good on his reassurances that Stefanik would once more have a leadership role. Stefanik previously served as the House Republican Conference chairwoman.


Elise Stefanik is truly a great leader and a devoted patriot. Today’s selfless decision shows America what those of us who work with her already know. She is deeply devoted to her country and fully committed to see President Trump’s agenda succeed in Congress. It is well known…
— Speaker Mike Johnson (@SpeakerJohnson)
March 27, 2025



On Wednesday, Johnson appointed Stefanik as the Chairwoman of House Republican Leadership for the 119th Congress. She was also reappointed to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, where she will maintain her seniority. Additionally, she serves as a senior Member of the Armed Services Committee and Education and the Workforce Committee.

Stefanik released statements to her political and official X accounts, and also shared some of the praise heaped on her, including from Alex Bruesewitz and NYGOP Chairman Ed Cox.

"I am honored to be appointed Chairwoman of House Republican Leadership to lead House Republicans in implementing President Donald Trump's mandate from the American people for an America First agenda that includes securing our borders, strengthening our national security, growing our economy, and combating the scourge of antisemitism across our country," said Chairwoman Elise Stefanik in her statement. "I’m proud to continue my work as a senior Member of the House Intelligence Committee, House Armed Services Committee, and the Education and the Workforce Committee to secure results for my constituents in New York's 21st Congressional District and the American people. I look forward to the work ahead in enacting President Trump’s historic agenda."

Trump Signs Executive Orders to Revive ‘Abandoned’ Coal Industry

The president issues executive actions designed to revive 19th century industrial mainstay to power 21st century economy.

President Donald Trump followed through on his pledge to boost the nation’s declining $28 billion coal-mining industry this week, signing four executive orders designed to keep coal-fired power plants operating and to encourage more mining to fuel accelerating electricity demand.

“This is a very important day to me because we’re bringing back an industry that was abandoned despite the fact that it was just about the best, certainly the best, in terms of power, real power,” Trump said in the White House before he signed four executive actions Tuesday, on a stage shared with several helmeted coal-miners.

Including Tuesday’s four coal-related directives, Trump has now issued
115 executive actions since taking office on Jan. 20. About two dozen of those are related to energy, implementing his goal to use the nation’s abundant fossil fuels—oil, natural gas, coal—to generate affordable power while simultaneously exporting liquified natural gas to pare down the $37 trillion federal debt.

Those predecessor actions eliminated more than 200 rules, regulations, and executive orders issued under the Biden administration. They enabled the four coal-related orders issued Tuesday, which grant regulatory relief to 47 companies operating 66 power plants, “making them available for coal production almost in the immediate future,” Trump said.

“We’re slashing unnecessary regulations that targeted the beautiful clean coal,” the president said. “We will rapidly expedite leases for coal mining on federal lands … and we’ll streamline permitting. We will end the government bias against coal.”

Trump, after personally greeting nine senators and a dozen House representatives—all Republicans, most from energy-producing Rocky Mountain states—said he would authorize the use of the Defense Production Act under his national energy emergency declaration “to turbocharge coal-mining in America.”

US Treasury Secretary Says Around 70 Countries Have Reached Out Over Tariffs

Bessent also said on Tuesday that he believes ‘a couple of big trading partners’ will ’do deals very quickly.’

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that about 70 countries have reached out to the Trump administration to negotiate on tariffs that were announced this past week.

While he did not confirm whether there was any headway in negotiations, Bessent told Fox News’ Larry Kudlow on Monday that “50, 60, maybe almost 70 countries” have gotten in contact with the Trump administration looking to hold talks.

“It’s going to be a busy April, May, maybe into June,” he said.

“As I advised on many shows on April 2, I suggested that the foreign officials keep your cool. Do not escalate and come to us with your offers on how you’re going to drop tariffs, how you’re going to drop non-tariff barriers, how you’re going to stop your currency manipulation, how you’re going to stop the subsidized financing. And at a point, President Trump will be ready to negotiate.”

He then spoke of talks with the Japanese government, confirming that President Donald Trump told U.S. trade officials to lead negotiations with Japan.

“Japan is a very important military ally. They’re a very important economic ally, and the U.S. has a lot of history with them. So I would expect that Japan is going to get priority just because they came forward very quickly,” the Treasury secretary said.

Democrats love to portray themselves as the compassionate ones. They just want to help people, especially the poor and downtrodden. When you ask them about illegal immigration, they will tell you that these are just poor people looking for a better life for themselves and their families. That's why they were perfectly okay with a wide-open southern border and letting millions of people into the country. It was all about compassion. However, as the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) continues to dig into the twisted story of America's finances, we are finding out that the compassion ruse is just that, another Democrat party scheme.

US_ Senate Confirms Controversial Choice for #3 Slot in Defense Department

Senate Confirms Controversial Choice for #3 Slot in Defense Department

By Ward Clark | 5:29 PM on April 08, 2025

The opinions expressed by contributors are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of RedState.com.

On Tuesday, the United States Senate voted to confirm Elbridge Colby to serve as the Department of Defense's UnderSecretary for Policy, the #3 role in the Pentagon, affirming another of President Trump's nominations. Colby came under some questioning in the confirmation process over his views on the relative importance of the United States' roles in the Middle East and Europe as opposed to the Pacific.


The Senate voted Tuesday to confirm Elbridge Colby, President Trump’s “lightning rod” pick to serve as the Pentagon’s under secretary for policy, despite the private concerns of several Republican senators about Colby’s past statements and views.

The chamber voted 54-45 to confirm the nominee, who will hold the No. 3-ranking job at the Pentagon and be in charge of briefing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on all defense policy matters.


That's a comfortable margin, although a couple of Republicans voted no, at least one expressing concern over Colby's prioritization of the Pacific theater.


Notably, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), an outspoken advocate for projecting American military strength throughout the world and supporting NATO allies, voted against Colby.

McConnell voiced concern about what he called Colby’s desire to prioritize U.S. interests in the Indo-Pacific over those in Europe, Ukraine and the Middle East.

“Abandoning Ukraine and Europe and downplaying the Middle East to prioritize the Indo-Pacific is not a clever geopolitical chess move. It is geostrategic self-harm that emboldens our adversaries and drives wedges between America and our allies for them to exploit,” he said in a statement explaining his vote.


It's important to note that, despite the ongoing turmoil in the Middle East and the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war, China remains the United States' primary geopolitical adversary. They are casting some increasingly ambitious eyes at Taiwan, and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has already made steps that appear to support such a realignment.

Taiwan, of course, is a friendly nation and, unlike mainland (Communist) China, has a freely elected representative government. Taiwan and Taiwanese companies are also major suppliers of semiconductors. We have a quasi-treaty obligation to support Taiwan militarily if China attacks, but that support would likely be logistical and not necessarily direct military support.

In military matters as in economic matters, China is the elephant in the room, and they will likely one day seek to supplant the United States as the primary power in the Pacific. But Colby is aware not only of Taiwan's importance but that of Europe:



He assured (Senator Tom) Cotton (R-AR), a leading defense hawk, that he thinks Taiwan is “very important” to the United States.

He also told Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska) that he views NATO as an important alliance, even though he believes it has to “adapt.”


It's a complicated world, politically and militarily, and it's only going to become more so.

There's another elephant in the room, albeit a smaller one: Iran. During his confirmation hearings, Colby pledged that he would provide President Trump with "credible and realistic" plans and options to deprive the Islamic Republic of its nuclear weapons program. And, in the end, we should remember that Colby is an advisor, even as his boss, SecDef Hegseth, advises the president. In the end, any military decision is President Trump's to make.


President Trump is leading America into the "Golden Age" as Democrats try desperately to stop it.

Miners Cheer As Trump Signs Orders to Bring Back Energy Dominance, Has Them Laughing at Remarks on Biden

One of the things that President Donald Trump has made clear about his presidency is that he intends to bring jobs back that Joe Biden let get away or consciously attacked. That's part of what the tariff push is about: encouraging manufacturing to come back to the U.S. rather than fleeing to other countries.

One of the areas that Trump is intent on building up again is the energy industry, or as they phrase it, "American Energy Dominance." It's not just about jobs but also securing our own energy independence — about which Biden didn't seem to be concerned.

Under Trump, the price of oil has been coming down, and the average gas price nationally has dropped from what it was under Joe Biden
a year ago.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth visited the Panama Canal Tuesday and had some tough talk for China, which the Trump administration has repeatedly argued has way too much influence over the crucial U.S.-built waterway.

The U.S. will not allow any country to threaten the canal, Hegseth vowed:


I want to be very clear—China did not build this canal, China does not operate this canal, and China will not weaponize this canal.

Together with Panama in the lead, we will keep the canal secure and available for all nations through the deterrent power of the strongest, most effective, and most lethal fighting force in the world.

We will do this in partnership with Panama. Together we will take back the Panama Canal from China's influence, and we will do this along with other capable, like-minded allies and partners.

This is what peace through strength looks like.

Why Is Everyone Shocked That Trump Is Doing Exactly What He Promised?

Matt Vespa | Apr 08, 2025

The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com.

The Democrats are at full froth daily, so they missed this crucial part regarding why Trump’s tariff agenda is a bit surprising: the man is precisely enacting what he promised. Throughout the 2024 election, the president said that he would return American wealth and end the great exodus of dollars that has gutted America’s working class. The elites and the rich have lost mountains of cash as markets are resetting—so much for Trump pushing policies that benefit the wealthy. Trump is doing, frankly, what Senator Bernie Sanders wanted to do back in 2019. So, what’s the problem?

It's time to stand fast. The market sell-off is being induced for two reasons: one, this was going to happen, tariffs or not, as the unnecessary spending under Biden is over. Second, the elites and the globalist cabal stand to lose the gravy train if Trump succeeds. They’re betting against the American worker, an insane wager, and hope to scare the nation into placing pressure on Congress to push back on the tariffs. Trump has no prospect of election on the horizon, so it’s balls to the wall on everything. 



Douglas Murray notes that Trump's tariffs are shocking because he followed through on his word:

“Shark Tank’s” Kevin O’Leary had a great lecture about business and noted that successful people can distinguish signal from noise. The signal is the mandate, and noise is everything else. O’Leary spoke about developing educational software for Steve Jobs, notably “The Oregon Trail,” where a new version was in development for the next quarter. It would cost millions, but someone suggested doing a market research study of 110,000 schools, gauging teacher feedback on some features. Jobs blew a gasket, as he often did when he disagreed with his employees, which was frequently, to which he told O’Leary’s team they—the teachers (or customers)—don’t know what they want until I tell them. When O’Leary pushed back, Jobs asked if we were dominating, making money, and increasing market share? The answer was “yes” to all three, so why are we wasting time with a market research poll—they’re developing a new version; that’s the sign.

“Shut up and let’s just stay focused,” Jobs said to O’Leary.

The “Shark Tank” co-host said this was 85 percent signal; doesn’t care about your opinion, and is laser-focused on the objective and creating results. He added that Elon Musk is a 100 percent signal: the Tesla CEO will walk away from any meeting or conversation if he feels the discussion isn’t progressing toward his goals.

Netanyahu Just Made This Promise to Trump

Jeff Charles | April 07, 2025 2:30 PM

President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a joint press conference after meeting to negotiate the tariff situation.

The meeting comes after President Trump on April 2 announced sweeping global tariffs on several different nations.

During a joint press conference, the two leaders discussed trade between Washington and Jerusalem. Netanyahu started by praising Trump for being a constant ally of Israel. "You actually do the things that you say you do, and I think the people respect that enormously."



Prime Minister Netanyahu praises President Trump for following through with his promises:

The conversation then turned to tariffs. "We will eliminate the trade deficit with the United States. We intend to do it very quickly. We think it's the right thing to do and we're going to also eliminate trade barriers... and I think Israel can serve as a model for other countries who ought to do the same," Netanyahu said.

US_ Tariffs target trade deficits, not direct duties on U.S.

THE WASHINGTON TIMES

Tariffs target trade deficits, not direct duties on U.S.


President Donald Trump walks to the Oval Office after signing an executive order during an event to announce new tariffs in the Rose Garden of the White House, Wednesday, April 2, 2025, in Washington. (AP Photo/Evan Vucci) more >

By Jeff Mordock and Tom Howell Jr. - The Washington Times - Monday, April 7, 2025


President Trump’s “reciprocal” tariffs are based on trade deficits rather than the tariffs other countries impose on U.S. goods.

By conflating these different measures, Mr. Trump has sown chaos across global markets and forced nations to renegotiate trade relations with the U.S.

It also has roiled some Trump supporters who have turned against the president and one another, though his die-hard backers trust his ambitious plan to boost U.S. manufacturing and reorganize the world economy.

The U.S. is now levying much higher tariffs against some countries than the tariffs they impose on U.S. goods. For example, the U.S. will now charge Japan a 24% tariff for its exports to the U.S., but Japan charges an average weighted tariff of 2.7%, according to data from the
World Trade Organization.

South Africa has been slapped with a 30% tariff, but its average weighted tariff is 6.3%. The European Union, which will be hit with a 20% U.S. tariff, charges an average weighted tariff of 3%.

EU officials say they are considering retaliating by putting high tariffs on selected U.S. products rather than across-the-board increases.


SEE ALSO: Trump threatens 100%-plus tariffs on China as trade battles intensify


“I was very surprised that the White House based its tariff formulas on bilateral trade balances. Bilateral trade deficits aren’t inherently problematic. It’s almost impossible to achieve balanced trade between countries, and it’s not necessarily desirable,” said Clark Packard, a senior fellow in trade policy at the libertarian Cato Institute.

The White House has defended its calculations by saying it uses trade deficit and import figures.

Trump supporters rally behind the president’s tough tariffs

The chair of the Dallas County Iowa Republican Party said the fallout from President Trump’s tariffs has hurt her family’s investments, but that she did not panic, though she wanted to.

Kelley Koch said Mr. Trump has earned the unwavering trust of her and others who elected him to shake up things in Washington, so they are doing what Mr. Trump asked: hanging tough amid the global outcry.

“We took a hit, but we are loyal,” Ms.
Koch said. “We know the plan. We trust the plan. We trust his vision. I think he is playing four-dimensional economics 101.”

This is exactly what Ms. Kock voted for.

“We voted for a disrupter and change to stop the trajectory of where our country is headed and he is doing that,” she said. “He did not unintentionally crash the stock market. It is intentional. It is shock and awe and a massive reset for the country.”

Le Pen Verdict: The Rationale, the Criticisms, and the Politics


President of the far-right Rassemblement National (RN) parliamentary group Marine Le Pen poses prior to an interview on the evening news broadcast of French TV channel TF1, in Boulogne-Billancourt, outside Paris, on March 31, 2025. The veteran far-right politician was convicted of creating fake jobs at the EU parliament to channel funds to her party to employ people in France on March 31, 2025 and was banned with immediate effect from standing for office for five years, throwing into doubt her bid to stand for the French Presidency in 2027. Le Pen will appeal her conviction, her lawyer said. (Photo by Thomas SAMSON / POOL / AFP) Photo by THOMAS SAMSON/POOL/AFP via Getty Images

News Analysis


A verdict by the Paris Criminal Court on March 31 drew strong reactions across the French political arena. Marine Le Pen, a prominent figure on the nationalist right and a three-time presidential contender, was convicted in a long-running case involving her party’s use of European Parliament funds to pay assistants. The ruling bars her from running in the 2027 presidential election.

For the first time since 1981, the Le Pen name could be absent from the ballot entirely.

The Paris court’s verdict against Marine Le Pen reverberated beyond France’s borders, drawing international criticism from prominent conservative leaders, including Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, and U.S. President Donald Trump.

Trump, writing on his social media platform Truth Social, offered his unequivocal support on April 4.

“Free Marine Le Pen!” he wrote in all caps.

US_ Supreme Court Blocks Judge’s Order to Return Man Deported to El Salvador

THE EPOCH TIMES

Supreme Court Blocks Judge’s Order to Return Man Deported to El Salvador

Trump administration officials have petitioned the Supreme Court to stop a court-ordered return of a deported Salvadoran man labeled an MS-13 gang member.

The Supreme Court has temporarily blocked a lower court order requiring the federal government to return an illegal immigrant deported to El Salvador, granting the Trump administration a brief reprieve as it appeals the case.

Chief Justice John Roberts entered the stay on April 7, pausing a Maryland district judge’s ruling that ordered the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to bring Salvadoran national Kilmar Abrego-Garcia back to the United States by 11:59 p.m. April 7.

The stay, which will remain in effect pending further action by Roberts or the full court, also requires Abrego-Garcia’s legal team to file a response by 5 p.m. on April 8.

The order was issued in response to an emergency
application the Trump administration filed with the Supreme Court earlier on Monday. The application requested the high court to block U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis’ April 4 order requiring the government to bring back Abrego-Garcia. The judge found that the government had violated a 2019 immigration ruling that barred his removal to El Salvador due to credible threats from the rival Barrio 18 gang. The 2019 ruling was made after Abrego-Garcia was arrested in Maryland and placed in deportation proceedings.

Abrego-Garcia entered the United States illegally in about 2011.

Despite the 2019 ruling, Abrego-Garcia was arrested on March 12 by Homeland Security Investigations, a division of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Officials cited what they described as his “prominent role” in the MS-13 gang, which the Trump administration had recently designated a foreign terrorist organization. He was placed on a deportation flight three days later, on March 15.

TIPSHEET_ Trump Tells Americans to 'Hang Tough' for a 'Historic' Result

Townhall

TIPSHEET


AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein


President Donald Trump again shows the strength and resolve needed to put America first. As his ten percent universal tariffs take effect, Trump has called on Americans to "hang tough" and weather the short-term challenges, promising that the long-term benefits will be worth it. Declaring that the U.S. is in the midst of an "economic revolution,” the president is determined to break free from decades of unfair trade practices and restore American manufacturing. This bold move aims to level the playing field, ensuring American workers and industries are no longer disadvantaged.

Just days after his global tariffs took effect, Trump promised to take decisive steps to bring back American jobs and protect the nation’s economic interests. In a Truth Social post, the president promised an economic revival that the U.S. would win.

Trump has implemented a 34 percent tariff on Chinese imports, which will take effect next week. In response, Beijing said it would impose a matching 34 percent tariff on American goods starting April 10. However, the move appeared to have little impact on Trump.

“China has been hit much harder than the USA, not even close. They, and many other nations, have treated us unsustainably badly. We have been the dumb and helpless ‘whipping post,’ but not any longer,” Trump wrote. “We are bringing back jobs and businesses like never before. Already, more than FIVE TRILLION DOLLARS OF INVESTMENT, and rising fast!”

Trump announced the implementation of two significant tariffs to boost U.S. manufacturing, create jobs, and increase government revenue. On April 9, a ten percent blanket tariff will be imposed on all imports, alongside reciprocal tariffs on goods from approximately 90 countries. The new measures are part of the administration’s strategy to revive American industry and ensure fair trade practices. Among the nations facing steep tariff hikes are Lesotho (50 percent), Cambodia (49 percent), and Madagascar (47 percent). Trump said the goal is to protect American workers and strengthen the country’s economy.

TIPSHEET_ Ford Teams Up With Trump Admin to Drive Down Car Prices and Boost U.S. Jobs

TIPSHEET

Ford Teams Up With Trump Admin to Drive Down Car Prices and Boost U.S. Jobs

Sarah Arnold | April 05, 2025 2:00 PM


AP Photo/Alex Brandon


Ford is working closely with the Trump administration to streamline its car production and delivery processes, especially as the company faces challenges with the president’s tariffs. Ford CEO Jim Hackett recently pointed out that while tariffs offer the company a "better chance" at increased manufacturing flexibility, critical details regarding parts supply and production still need to be ironed out. This collaboration between the auto giant and the administration highlights the growing impact of trade policies on the automotive industry and the push to bring more vehicles to American consumers.

As the Trump administration unveiled its global tariffs, Ford released a new post-tariff campaign slogan: “From America, For America.” The automaker is promising consumers that they will only pay what Ford employees pay for a vehicle, detailing how the company will tailor its operations in the U.S. as President Donald Trump’s tariffs rollout. Earlier this week, the Trump administration announced that a 25 percent tariff would be imposed on all imported cars and imported auto parts.

While Ford already manufactures 80 percent of its US-sold vehicles in the U.S., the company said it is committed to its “From America, For America” program, which will assemble vehicles where they sell: in America. This testament echoes the Trump administration’s America-first agenda.

“When you buy a Ford vehicle, you’re not just getting a capable vehicle; you’re investing in American jobs and American communities. And we believe in American ingenuity and the enduring spirit of the American driver,” Rob Kaffl, Ford’s director of US sales and dealer relations, said.

By Seth McLaughlin and Tom Howell Jr. - The Washington Times - Sunday, April 6, 2025


White House officials said Sunday that President Trump will not pause the tariffs his administration has imposed on imports as part of his push to reshape global trade.

Commerce Secretary
Howard Lutnick said the latest round of tariffs would have “no postponing” and that some affected nations were signaling a willingness to reconsider trade barriers.

“They are definitely going to stay in place for days and weeks. That is sort of obvious,” Mr.
Lutnick said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” “The president needs to reset global trade.”

Team
Trump fanned out across the television talk shows Sunday to respond to the stiff international blowback after the president rolled out 10% baseline tariffs on all imports and reciprocal tariffs on specific countries.

The tariff announcement sent shock waves through global markets and fueled concerns that Mr.
Trump was steering the nation and the rest of the world toward a recession.

The free fall in Thursday and Friday trading erased $6.6 trillion in stock market value.

Economists warned that the tariffs could spark a trade war that could lead to higher inflation and slower growth and that tariffs would raise consumer prices.

Trump officials downplayed the outcry as media-induced hoopla and said the market would start to calm down.

COMMENTARY_ Global leftist elites are targeting conservative and populist leaders

THE WASHINGTON TIMES

Global leftist elites are targeting conservative and populist leaders

The war on civilization by other means


Civilizations and war around the world illustration by Linas Garsys / The Washington Times more >

COMMENTARY

By Robert Knight - Sunday, April 6, 2025

OPINION:


When Russian leader Vladimir Putin jails or poisons rivals or journalists or even invades a neighboring country, it’s not all that shocking.

After all, the Russian president was a high-ranking agent in the Soviet KGB and has shown little inclination to change his stripes while presiding over the kleptocracy that is modern Russia.

However, countries with actual self-governing systems are not supposed to resort to unsavory tactics. Leaders are not supposed to consolidate power by arresting opponents or crippling them with lawfare. That’s communist or banana republic stuff.

However, in several so-called democracies, conservative and populist leaders are being targeted in ways that delight global leftist elites.

Exhibit A is how the Democrats, America’s leftist party, mightily abused the legal system in multiple unsuccessful attempts to take out President
Trump.

Meanwhile, the Democrats’ socialist counterparts are waging aggressive lawfare against populist movements in several countries. In France, Marine Le Pen, who has long campaigned against that country’s growing Islamic invasion from its former colonies in North Africa, was leading the polls for the upcoming presidential election. The French are fed up with excessive immigration and “no-go zones” in Paris. In the most recent election, they gave her National Rally party a majority in Parliament.

Last week, however, a court convicted her of embezzling European parliamentary funds for her campaign. She was banned from running for office for five years and was given a four-year prison sentence with two years suspended.

Presto, the leading populist candidate in President Emmanuel Macron’s socialist-leaning France is out of the race. Ms. Le Pen said she has done nothing wrong and the charges are politically motivated. She is appealing.

COMMENTARY_ Why Democrats hate DOGE

THE WASHINGTON TIMES

Why Democrats hate DOGE

Waste and fraud are the currency of Washington


Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) cracking the federal government’s spending illustration by Alexander Hunter/The Washington Times more >

COMMENTARY

By Stephen Moore - Sunday, April 6, 2025

OPINION:


If you haven’t watched the Bret Baier interviews on Fox News with Elon Musk and the other executives who have given their time and expertise to exposing the rampant fraud and inefficiency of our federal government, I urge you to do so.

It will infuriate you, and that’s what we need right now. A lot of voter rage is directed at how
Washington is routinely misspending our tax dollars with impunity.

What shines through in the interview is that these volunteers at the Department of Government Efficiency are on a patriotic mission to repair our ship of state. They are hunting down the rats and scoundrels who have played us (we, the taxpayers) for fools for so many years. It is the greatest robbery, with more than $1 trillion of fraud and corruption in world history.

Yet too many Democrats are reacting as if Musk himself is the scoundrel. Apparently, we shouldn’t blame the criminal but the detective.

The “Musk-ateers” have uncovered 10 million Social Security recipients older than 120 (how many monthly checks were sent out?) How about $10 billion in rent for empty office buildings? Hundreds of millions of dollars for foreign aid programs went to “nongovernmental government organizations,” and the money then disappeared down a rabbit hole. More than $150 billion in fraudulent Medicaid spending. A federal workforce that has been MIA for three years. Defense contractors charging the federal government twice as much for weapons systems thanks to “cost-plus pricing” schemes.

In the wake of this epic failure of governance, nearly every leading Democrat in Washington has had the exact same scripted response: “We’re all against waste in government but …” This is followed by a soliloquy about how Elon Musk is going to far …” Translation: Democrats and their army of lobbying bosom buddies aren’t against the rampant fraud and corruption at all. If they were, Presidents Biden or Obama would have done at least something about it.

They never lifted a finger. Nor did Republicans all these years.
Washington hid behind a curtain of plausible deniability, even though we had scores of auditors and inspector general reports spotlighting the continuing raid on our federal fisc.

Ripping off taxpayers is one of the biggest businesses in America. It’s so routine that it isn’t seen as a criminal action anymore but rather as the cost of doing business inside the Beltway — like paying off the mob.

Do We Dare Brand the Left, RINOs as Treacherous?


Manheim, Pa. Oct. 1, 2016: A man wears a "Proud Member of the Basket of Deplorables" shirt and a "Make America Great Again" hat at a then-Donald Trump presidential campaign rally. (Georgesheldon/Dreamstime.com)

Current | Bio | Archive


Every time this writer turns around, hundreds of millions — or even billions of dollars — in government contracts are being cancelled.

This seemingly daily occurrence is nothing short of gloriously beyond words, and "I'm Lovin' It."

Let's hope it continues and takes hold!

With discernible frequency we may read of the judiciary blocking the cancellation of spending championed by our superheroes, President Donald Trump and Tesla Founder and CEO Elon Musk.

As a result of this, it's hard to ascertain what’s really going on, or what portends for the outcome.

We can trust President Trump’s unwavering, unprecedented sincerity, and his willingness to do absolutely everything in his power to save America from conceivably hyperinflation, recession, and bankruptcy.

Unfortunately. this writer and his fellow Americans trust Republicans in Congress less than anyone. And we need Congress to back up these cuts!

After all, Congress, as per our Constitution, engages in all the spending.

Myself, and my fellow Americans can't help but feel some in the GOP, on Capitol Hill, are frankly . . . cowardly. This more than applies to "careerist" Republican members of the U.S. House and Senate.

Our future is at stake, and it's nerve-wracking for the average struggling American.

Let's call it for what it is: Big Government is a cancer. And that malignancy has metastasized. As with any disease of such severity, strong measures — maybe even painful ones --- must be marshalled to rout out what can only be described as a "left-wing infection."

Make no mistake, we have an epic battle on our hands, the biggest since 1861 or 1941.

Yet President Trump and the MAGA movement continue to unflinchingly fight, at levels truly beautiful, and awe-inspiring.

Specifically, let's recall this Trump administration success: Canada’s backing down in the conflict over trade.

Trump’s secret?

He understands that nations like Canada need the U.S. exponentially more than the U.S. needs Canada.

Truth be told, the U.S. doesn't need Canada, or the notable beyond arrogance of former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

We don't need any other country — at all.

This will become especially true once the United States opens the free market on American soil, for production again.

Even with all our taxation, regulation, and delusional psychopathy (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI), etc.), the U.S. remains light-years ahead of everyone in every measure that matters.

Self-indulgent millionaires (think Ellen De Generes and Rosie O’Donnell, as two examples) will never define truly patriotic and hardworking of Americans; both celebrities can afford to leave America in a rainbow-preening frenzy of virtue-signaling.

However, for many others on the left, because they aren't affluent, are reduced to screaming insults on Facebook and vandalizing Elon Musk dealerships.

America wins when it’s free, capitalist, legally gun-carrying, unapologetically assertive, and beautifully independent self is allowed to thrive.

The Trump MAGA movement gets this.

Left methodology is very simple to decipher.

It has been employed by autocrats as long as totalitarianism has existed.

Ponder these liberal assertions and actions:

* Decide how you want to control others: socialized medicine, censorship, gun control, and hammering on social hot-buttons like race, sexuality, etc. to divide people from one another.

* Accuse Trump of wanting to control others the way you really want to control others. Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin did exactly this, repeatedly.

* Seize control from Trump (think Lawfare). Then proceed to do all the things you accused our president of doing, which are in actuality . . . things he never did.

* Proceed to do all those things yourself.

The left seeks to repeat this cycle now, to give us another Biden regime (only worse).

We have to fight, and win this, as an ideological war.

We can't underestimate, nor excuse the progressive liberalism, or half-hearted republicanism, because they still insiduously impact the media, schools, embrace the extant Deep State, as well as much of the corporate and entertainment world.

Interestingly, Bill Maher, recently observed, "You have to respect that; the guy did win. It’s more than half the country . . . you cannot like Trump, you can hate him, but you can’t hate everybody who voted for him. . . I don’t hate half the country and I don’t want to hate half the country."

Maher’s attitude differs from most Democratic voters this writer has encountered.

Most in that camp outright loathe those who voted for Trump. Think: "Basket of Deplorables," "Garbage!" "

Anti-Trumpers" seemingly vacillate between raw hatred of Trump voters and a childlike refusal to accept that anyone could have cast their vote for him.

Are "anti-Trumpers" "unhinged"?

You decide.

Viewing themselves as enlightened, objective, and well-informed, these poor bewildered CNN and MSNBC viewers are 100% the product of a media which entirely manufactures a false narrative about the characteristics of Trump positions and the many reasons people voted for him three times.

Democratic voters are so apoplectic about Trump, they seem not to have noticed how their own openly socialist and fascist candidates have taken on positions differing little from history’s most notorious dictatorships, reigns resulting in the deaths of millions.

No, our nation's 47th commander in chief can’t save us from everything.

The battles heretofore alluded to and enumerated will continue.

We all must be prepared to defeat the left decisively.

Many liberals and half-hearted conservatives are anti-social, even bullies.

If those who voted for Trump stand up to them, they will melt away like the "Wicked Witch of the West" in L. Frank Baum's the "The Wizard of Oz."

And not a moment too soon.
