About the pic: JFK’s daughter Caroline Kennedy and her son, Jack Schlossberg, at the 2017 Met Gala.

Commentary: In a scathing letter to Congress ahead of her cousin Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s confirmation hearing, Caroline urged senators to reject his nomination, calling him unfit for the job and a predator. For his part, showing that he’s his mother’s son in political bigotry and viciousness, Jack Schlossberg recently attacked conservative commenter Meghn Kelly on social media, berating her for her stance on transgender issues and sarcastically suggesting that he did not know what gender she is.

Ridiculous: NAACP gives Chairman’s Award to Indian-American Kamala Harris

From The Hollywood Reporter, Feb. 17, 2025:

Kamala Harris will receive the NAACP’s prestigious Chairman’s Award during the 2025 NAACP Image Awards.

The award recognizes people who have excelled in public service and leveraged their platforms to drive meaningful change.

It has previously been given to such figures as Samuel L. Jackson, Tyler Perry, Danny Glover, Ruby Dee, Amanda Gorman, Rev. James Lawson, then-Senator Barack Obama, former Surgeon General Regina Benjamin and members of Congress such as Bennie G. Thompson, Maxine Waters and the late John Lewis.

The NAACP is the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (colored people = blacks), an American civil rights organization formed in 1909 as an interracial endeavor to advance justice for African Americans. (Source: Wikipedia)

Kamala Harris is not African American — her parents are immigrants from India. Nor has Harris done anything to “advance justice for African Americans”.

Winning: San Diego migrant shelter closing due to lack of clients

Promises Made. Promises Kept.

What do you know? Turns out one can make our border security a priority when they have the fortitude to do so, rather than just promising to do so when they are campaigning (I’m talking about you, Kamala).

Fox News reports that the Jewish Family Center of San Diego has recevied zero new migrants since President Trump shut down the CBP One mobile app on his first day in office. From their report:

A San Diego migrant shelter is closing its doors and laying off more than 100 employees because of funding and policy changes under the Trump administration.

The Jewish Family Service of San Diego, which has operated a regional migrant shelter for over six years, announced it will close its facility and lay off 115 employees due to “changes in federal funding and policy.”

The non-governmental organization (NGO) said they have not received new asylum-seeking families or individuals since the CBP One phone app went down on Jan. 20. 

The app, which ultimately allowed immigrants to be paroled into the U.S., was created during the first Trump administration to assist with scheduling cargo inspections. 

It expanded in 2023 to allow migrants to make an appointment at a port of entry to be allowed in, initially due to an exception from the Title 42 public health order. Since May, they had the potential to be paroled into the U.S. as part of the Biden administration’s expansion of “lawful pathways.” 

As of the end of December, more than 936,500 individuals had made appointments to be paroled through the app, according to Customs and Border Protection.”

Read the whole story here.

Jewish Family Service of San Diego is a NGO which, as most NGOs do, receives a lot of taxpayer dollars. How much have they received? The organization received $22,077,365 in taxpayer-funded FEMA money in Fiscal Year 2024 despite claiming they received no funds, according to grant records on the FEMA website.

Imagine how much of this $22M taxpayer dollars could have be used to help American citizens in disaster areas (Maui, Palisades, Florida, Carolinas, etc.) instead of facilitating illegal alien crossings.

This is exactly why President Trump won: He promised to tackle border security and within a month he’s doing it.

Democrats appear to endorse forced abortion

Demorats never met an abortion they didn’t like. Apparently that also includes forced abortions.

A mother in Louisiana obtained abortion pills online for her then 17-year-old daughter from a Dr. Margaret Carpenter in New York. According to NOLA, the pregnant teen was going to have the baby but the mother of the teen conspired with the good doctor to obtain the abortion pill. The mother then coerced the pregnant teen to take the pill. The teen girl accepted the ultimatum despite initially pleading to keep the baby.

The mother obtained the abortion pill by completing a questionnaire and Dr. Carpenter fulfilled the prescription without a direct consultation.

From Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry:

“A minor in Louisiana got pregnant. She was excited to have a baby and was planning a gender reveal party. Her mom conspired with a NY doctor to get a chemical abortion pill in the mail and coerced her to take it. She ended up in the hospital. There is only one right answer in this situation: the doctor must face extradition to Louisiana where justice will be served. We owe this to the minor and the innocent life lost.”

District Attorney for Iberville, Tony Clayton, believes there is clear evidence of a crime as a West Baton Rouge Parish grand jury indicted Dr. Carpenter and the girl’s mother for criminal abortion by means of abortion-inducing drugs, a new law passed last year by Shreveport Republican state Sen. Thomas Pressly.

Louisiana prosecutors and Gov. Jeff Landry want to extradite Dr. Carpenter, yet Gov. Kathy Hochul has declined to comply with the extradition order.  From NY Post:

“Carpenter and her company, Nightingale Medical, PC, also face the same charge — but have evaded arrest thanks to Hochul’s refusal to comply with Lousiana’s extradition orders submitted Thursday.

“I want to make sure everyone in the state knows: Keep your hands off this doctor,” Hochul said upon receiving the paperwork.

“I’m respecting the laws of New York. Am I supposed to make those subservient to laws of another state?” 

New York Attorney General Letitia James also piled on, calling the indictment a “cowardly attempt out of Louisiana to weaponize the law against out-of-state providers,” adding that the indictment is “unjust and un-American.”

You know what else is unjust? Forcing a girl to go against her will and kill her baby. It appears these demorats are now supporting forced abortions. They are in good company, I guess.

What a sword to die on. Literally.

Whale swallows kayaker, then spits him out

Adrián Simancas was kayaking with his father, Dell Simancas, in Bahía El Águila last Saturday near the San Isidro Lighthouse in the Strait of Magellan, off Chilean Patagonia.

A humpback whale surfaced near Adrián and swallowed him and his kayak  for a few seconds before spitting him out, unharmed.

“I thought I was dead,” Adrián told the Associated Press. “I thought it had eaten me, that it had swallowed me.”

Here’s the astonishing video:

Trump freezes Biden’s $50M fund for condoms in Palestinian Gaza

Yet another outrageous spending of the Biden Administration.

Condoms for Gaza

Business Standard reports on Feb. 14, 2025 that the US Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) found that about $ 50 million was used to fund condoms in Gaza.

The Gaza strip is a small territory located on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea, inhabited by mostly Palestinian refugees and their descendants. Gaza is the smaller of the two Palestinian territories, the other being the West Bank. 99% of Gaza’s total population of 2.14 million people are Sunni Muslims; Christians make up less than 1% of the population.

DOGE Leader Elon Musk expressed his doubts on the huge amount of money. In a post on X, he said,

My guess is that a lot of that money ended up in the pockets of [terrorist organization] Hamas, not actually condoms. Yes, even in the unlikely event that the money was actually spent on condoms, we should NOT be sending US taxpayer money to buy condoms for foreigners.”

In last days of Biden presidency, EPA gave $20B to NGOs with no oversight

This is nothing less than outrageous.

During the last days of the Biden administration, in the name of “climate justice,” the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) gave $20 BILLION of taxpayers’ hard-earned money to eight “entities” that would then distribute to NGOs and others at the entities’ discretion without transparency.

This scheme is the first of its kind in EPA history, and was purposely designed to obligate all of the money in a rush job with reduced oversight.

The EPA’s new administrator, Lee Zeldin, said: “Never in EPA history has anything like this ever happened. And there was a decision to park $20 billion of tax dollars at a ‘green’ bank just outside of government to lessen the amount of oversight that government has over the funds, to give it to eight different entities – not like $20 billion on 40,000 different entities; we’re talking about eight entities – and then those entities are distributing the funds. You’re getting further and further removed with less government accountability.”

Fortunately, the new team lat the EPA has found the $20 billion and will terminate the financial agreement with the bank and return the funds to the government. (Sources: Daily Wire; NewsMax)

The EPA administrator culcable for the last-minute $20 BILLION giveaway is Michael S, Regan, a Biden appointee.

They just don’t get it: Leftists Hollyweird types have an opinion

Celebrities really believe their opinions matter, especially when it comes to politics.

Last year they tried to convince us to vote for Kamala Harris. Oprah hosted a livestream event for Harris, for which Oprah’s production company was paid $1 million dollars.

Taylor Swift endorsed Harris through an Instagram post. Beyonce endorsed Harris by appearing with her at a rally in Houston. Other celebrities who vocally endorsed Harris: Angela Bassett, Alyssa Milano, Alanis Morisette, Dick Van Dyke, Katy Perry, Will Ferrell, Viola Davis, Katie Couric, Richard Gere, Harrison Ford, Lady Gaga, Smokey Robinson, Reese Witherspoon, Madonna, Don Cheadle, Robert Downey, Jr., Mark Ruffalo, Julia Roberts, LeBron James, Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Lopez, and plenty more.

Sorry, but the vast majority of Americans didn’t care one bit what these Hollyweird types had to say about the cackling Harris. Rasmussen Reports found that “56% of Likely U.S. Voters say endorsements by celebrities made no difference at all in terms of their vote in the presidential election, while another 19% say such endorsements didn’t make much difference.”

Now that President Trump has started (with a bang) his second term, Trump Derangement Syndrome has left the president living rent free in their heads. And they still believe their opinions matter.

Actor Seth Rogan has a brilliant theory as to why Trump was elected a second term. From Breitbart:

“President Donald Trump’s landslide 2024 election win is a result of “f*cking hippies doing acid and f*cking on their lawns.”

“People get sick of seeing f*cking hippies doing acid and f*cking on their lawns, and they’re like, ‘Let’s f*cking clean up these streets a little bit.’”

The Superbad star went on to imply that the political pendulum is constantly swinging, adding, “And then people get sick of seeing f*cking dorks cleaning up the streets and they go back the other way.”

Astounding analysis, Seth. No wonder your greatest achievement is reading scripts.

Filmmaker, Todd Haynes, thinks we are in a crisis right now because of President Trump. From Variety:

“When asked his thoughts on Trump’s second term at the jury press conference, the “May December” director said bluntly: “We’re in a state of particular crisis right now in the United States, but also globally.”

He continued, “Everyone I know in the United States and friends abroad are witnessing this barrage of actions in the first three weeks of the Trump administration with tremendous concern, shock. I think that’s been part of the strategy, to create a sense of destabilization and shock among the people. So how we proceed toward coalescing different forms of resistance are still in the works and are still being figured out among Democrats. I have no doubt that there will be many people who did in fact vote for this president who will be quickly disillusioned by promises he made about economic stability in the U.S.

Want to place a bet on that last statement, Todd?

Based on President Trump’s list of executive orders in his first three weeks in office, I’d say he is off and running with a great start!

But what do I know? I’m not a rich celebrity.

What I do know is that the leftists Hollyweird types better buckle up. For them, it’s going to be a long four years.
