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.

Demorat USDA IG Phyllis Fong had to be dragged out of office

Democrats are insufferable.

As President of the United States, Donald Trump is head of the executive branch of government. US Department of Agriculture (USDA) is a bureaucracy within the executive branch, which means Trump is the boss of USDA and its employees, including the inspector general.

The role of the modern-day inspector general dates to post-Watergate Washington, when Congress installed offices inside agencies as an independent check against mismanagement and abuse of power. Though inspectors general are presidential appointees, some serve presidents of both parties. All are expected to be nonpartisan. (AP)

On January 24, 2025, President Trump fired about 17 independent inspectors general at various federal government agencies, effective immediately.

But the IG of USDA, one Phyllis Fong, simply refused to comply, and had to be escorted out of her office by security guards.

USDA IG Phyllis Fong

Townhall reports, Jan. 29, 2025:

The inspector general of the U.S. Department of Agriculture was escorted out of her office by security on Wednesday after she refused to leave following her dismissal by the Trump administration last week.

Phyllis Fong, one of the 17 watchdogs fired last week, told colleagues of her plan to stay, believing the Trump administration did not follow the correct protocols, Reuters reports.

The Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency “has taken the position that these termination notices do not comply with the requirements set out in law and therefore are not effective at this time,” she wrote in an email to colleagues over the weekend.

Sen. Chuck Grassley has also said the administration did not give the proper 30-day notice of removal to Congress.

But the White House defended the move. “It is the belief of this White House and the White House counsel’s office that the president was within his executive authority” to do so, [White House Press Secretary Karoline] Leavitt said Tuesday.

Trump, she added, “is the executive of the executive branch, and therefore he has the power to fire anyone within the executive branch that he wishes to.”

Leavitt then referenced a 2020 Supreme Court decision, Seila Law LLC v. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which ruled that the CFPB’s agency structure violates the separation of powers under the U.S. Constitution. “I would advise you to look at that case, and that’s the legality that this White House was resting on,” Leavitt said.

Asked by the reporter whether the Trump administration believed its order would survive a lawsuit or court challenge from the former inspectors general, Leavitt responded affirmatively. “We will win in court,” she said decisively, before moving on. (Fox News)

In 2002, Phyllis Fong was nominated by then-President George W. Bush to serve as the IG of USDA. I cannot find Fong’s party affiliation but from her behavior, we have good reason to suspect her of being a Democrat. This is how the White House defended firing her and the other inspectors general (TimesNow):

These rogue, partisan bureaucrats… have been relieved of their duties in order to make room for qualified individuals who will uphold the rule of law and protect Democracy.”

President Trump has a good reason to fire Fong — she wasn’t doing her Inspector General job. Look what Elon Musk’s DOGE found:

Insanity: Democrat state representative gets sterilized for fear of Trump’s contraceptives policy

Trump Derangement Syndrome on steroids.

MI state representative Laurie Pohutsky (D)

From American Liberty, Feb. 6, 2025:

Michigan State Representative  (D-Livonia) has revealed that she underwent voluntary sterilization, citing concerns over access to reproductive health care in the United States under President Donald Trump‘s policies.

“Just under two weeks ago, I underwent surgery to ensure that I would never have to navigate a pregnancy in Donald Trump’s America,” Pohutsky stated.

“I refuse to let my body be treated as currency by an administration that only sees value in my ability to procreate,” she added.

Pohutsky articulated her decision in the most dramatic terms possible. “If you know people who are questioning how serious this is, I’m going to repeat myself: A sitting government official opted for voluntary sterilization because she was uncertain she would be able to access contraception in the future.”

Well, sterilizing herself does improve our gene pool!

More winning: AG Bondi orders DOJ to pause federal funding for sanctuary cities

Yesterday, Pam Bondi was sworn in as Attorney General of the United States. She immediately went to work for President Trump and the American people who voted for him.

The Blaze reports that hours after taking her role, AG Bondi directed the Department of Justice to halt federal funding to sanctuary cities. Fox News reports: “Bondi also has directed the DOJ to identify and evaluate all funding agreements with nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) that provide support to illegal aliens. She is also directing litigating components of the Justice Department to investigate instances of jurisdictions that are impeding law enforcement, and directing they be prosecuted, when necessary.”

Pay attention, democrats. You are now on notice.

Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker

Gov. Pritzker has vowed to “stand in the way’’ of certain Trump deportation policies, including those targeting “law-abiding’’ illegal migrants. From NY Post:

“When we’re talking about violent criminals who’ve been convicted and who are undocumented, we don’t want them in our state,” Pritzker, 60, told CNN’s “State of the Union.” “We want them out of the country.

“We hope they do get deported,” he said, referring to Trump’s policy of targeting illegal migrant criminals first under his mass deportation plan.

But “we also have a law in the books in Illinois that says that our local law enforcement will stand up for those law-abiding undocumented people in our state,” he said.

Hey, fat boy: If people are in the country illegally they are not “law-abiding.”

Democrat governor Tina Kotek

Oregon’s governor, Tina Kotek, has also declared she will fight our federal immigration laws. From WJAC:

“Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek said in a video posted Sunday she will uphold state law prohibiting government officials and police from helping federal authorities with enforcing immigration laws.

“I will uphold Oregon’s sanctuary promise laws – laws that were passed with almost unanimous bipartisan support in the 1980s,” she said in the message shared on social media platform X.

Oregon passed a law in 1987 barring police from taking into custody people who aren’t U.S. citizens if their only offense is being in the U.S. illegally. Currently, the state prohibits public agencies from collaborating with the federal government to enforce immigration laws.”

Plenty of other democrat governors plan to fight President Trump on this issue. Be prepared, governors, for your state’s cities to quickly lose access to federal tax-payer dollars.

You may believe that your “resistance” is going to win. But make no mistake: There’s a new and hardened President Trump in office. One that is ready to “fight, fight, fight!”

Trump proves liberals wrong: Threat of tariffs is one way to play hardball

 

President Trump continues to make good on his promise to protect America’s borders.

Last week he threatened several countries that have been complacent in allowing the invasion of America (both illegal aliens and drugs, particulary fentynal). Trump threateded Columbia, Venezuela, Mexico, Canada and China with tariffs if they didn’t help control their own borders, accept back their citizens, and work to stop the flow of drugs.

Liberals immediately screamed about how the tariffs would be devastating for Americans and that we were all going to face the wrath of tariffs through higher prices at the grocery store and the pump.

A couple days later and President Trump proves them wrong, as usual.

Columbia caved to Trump’s tariffs and agreed to accept their criminal illegal aliens as well as provide transportation for them to get back home.

Venezuela caved and agreed to accept the country’s illegal aliens living in the U.S. Bonus: Six American hostages held in that country were returned to us.

Mexico has now caved as well. From LA Times:

“Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, in a post on X, said she spoke to the American leader Monday morning and that they came to an accord that delays for at least a month Trump’s threat of 25% tariffs on all Mexican goods imported to the United States.

In exchange, she said Mexico had agreed to reinforce its northern border with 10,000 members of its national guard in order to combat migration and the trafficking of illegal drugs.”

Canada, being that the government is full of progressive moonbats, believes they can win the game against President Trump. Not everyone, especially those who run a real business, agree. From NY Post:

“The CEO of Canada’s second-largest publicly traded company says Canadians want their government to do all the things that President Trump is demanding — and slammed outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for not preventing the trade war.

“Canada thrives when it works with America together. Win by helping America win. Trump believes that Canada has not held its side of the bargain,” Tobi Lutke, who co-founded Shopify, wrote on X.

“These are things that every Canadian wants its government to do, too. These are not crazy demands, even if they came from an unpopular source. These tariffs are going to be devastating to so many people’s lives and small businesses.

Time will tell if Canada will go the way of the South American countries and work with Trump to stop the inflow of immigrants and drugs at our northern border.

UPDATE: A couple hours after I posted this I see this headline at The Gateway Pundit:

Justin Trudeau Caves to President Trump on Tariff Showdown – Will Implement Massive Border Plan to Stop Flow of Fentanyl

“Trudeau announced a short time ago that he will implement their own massive border plan to stop fentanyl, which has killed perhaps millions of Americans. Like Mexico, this includes 10,000 frontline personnel but also so much more. In the meantime, tariffs will be delayed.”

These countries better get use to the new sheriff in charge of the U.S.A. They aren’t going to be dealing with ‘ol senile Joe anymore. President Trump is playing hardball. And he’s bound and determined to win for the American citizens.

Oakland, California opens largest abortion clinic in U.S.

The city of Oakland in the S.F. Bay Area of failed blue state California is already notorious for its crime-ridden streets and its corrupt mayor. See DCG’s post, “Decades of democrat leadership on display in Oakland, CA.”

Now, Oakland is hellbent on sinking even lower.

California Catholic Daily reports that the largest abortion clinic ever just opened for business in Oakland:

The Planned Parenthood abortion business is opening its largest abortion business ever. The massive facility will be located in Oakland, California and could kill babies in abortions up to birth.

Located at 1400 Broadway, the Planned Parenthood Mar Monte Barbara Lee Oakland Health Center opened its doors on December 17 with an official ribbon-cutting ceremony scheduled for February 1, 2025.

Planned Parenthood officials expect it will be able to kill thousands of babies. The opening of the Oakland center is seen as a strategic move to attract more abortion customers coming to the Bay Area on flights from pro-life states for abortions.

The health center is named in honor of Congresswoman Barbara Lee, a radical abortion activist who never voted pro-life. Lee was delighted an abortion center that kills children will be named after her.

In a statement, Lee expressed her gratitude, stating, “To have a Planned Parenthood health center with my namesake is a great honor, and one I do not take lightly.”

The opening comes on the heels of the death of Cecile Richards, Planned Parenthood’s former president.

In the recently released 2022-2023 fiscal year annual report titled, “Above & Beyond,” Planned Parenthood states it performed 392,715 abortions. That means Planned Parenthood killed 1,075 babies in abortions every single day even though the abortion giant claims its main focus is merely “women’s health care.” In other words, Planned Parenthood kills 44 babies every hour.

“Above & Beyond” also shows that 34 percent of Planned Parenthood’s revenue, $699.3 million, comes from “government health services reimbursements and grants,” or taxpayer dollars.

Thank God for President Trump who, on Jan. 24, signed an executive order reinstating the Mexico City Policy which forbids using taxpayer dollars to fund nongovernmental organizations that perform or promote coercive abortion or involuntary sterilization. (Fox News)

There’s a new sheriff in town and legacy media weeps

Legacy media (or arm of the DNC as they often act) is dead. A self-inflicted mortal would that, one could say, began when Obama became president. They slobbered over the first black president and couldn’t hide their glee for him.

As President Trump began his first term, full-blown Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) inflicted every liberal and progressive media outlet. And we all know about their pushing every hoax under the sun to prevent him from getting re-elected.

Under the Biden administration, legacy media did all they could to protect the senile man. Despite crumbling ratings, they tried to back the old horse for as long as they could. And they lost all credibility.

Fast-forward to November 2024 and after four disasterous years of Biden, Americans had enough. We elected a new sheriff to run this country.

President Trump and his administration are playing hardball this term and setting new rules and guidelines to control the agenda they promised Americans.

Yesterday press secretary Karoline Leavitt held her first briefing and it was spectacular in many ways. She announced major changes to the press room and how this administration will be more welcoming to alternative press outlets.

As reported by Fox News, Leavitt announced the Trump administration was rolling out major changes to make room for newer, less traditional media voices in the briefing room.

Leavitt told reporters these changes were being made to keep in line with President Donald Trump’s “revolutionary media approach” that he deployed during his campaign in speaking to popular podcast hosts and social media influencers. From the report:

“In keeping with this revolutionary media approach that President Trump deployed during the campaign, the Trump White House will speak to all media outlets and personalities, not just the legacy media who are seated in this room,” she began before citing Gallup polls showing Americans’ low confidence in the mainstream media.

“Millions of Americans, especially young people, have turned from traditional television outlets and newspapers to consume their news from podcasts, blogs, social media and other independent outlets,” Leavitt continued. “It’s essential to our team that we share President Trump‘s message everywhere and adapt this White House to the new media landscape in 2025.”

Leavitt announced steps the Trump administration was taking to accomplish this, beginning with restoring the press passes for 440 journalists whose passes she said “were wrongly revoked” by the Biden administration.

The briefing room will also now be opened up to “new media voices who produce news-related content” and outlets who haven’t been welcomed into the briefing room previously, she said.”

After Karoline’s first briefing today, you can see she is going to handle the press in a boss way. Watch a clip:

You can watch the whole press conference here.

Karoline also told the press corp that they need to hold themselves to the same standard of truth they hold the White House. And she did this whole briefing without a “binder” or a “circle back.”

Don’t hold your breath that the legacy media will accept this “truth” challenge. They can’t help themselves due to their TDS. Adieu, legacy media. You deserve this cancellation.

One week into his presidency, Trump moving fast to cleanup Biden’s mess

Is your head reeling yet from trying to keep up with President’s Trumps actions and executive orders in the first week of his presidency? He’s out of the gate this term and is ready to Make America Great Again.

To help keep up, the White House has a list of Trump’s historic actions in his first 100 hours. A portion of the list:

  • President Trump is already securing the border and arresting criminal illegal immigrants.
  • The Border Patrol is reporting a significant drop already in attempted illegal crossings.
  • The Trump Administration immediately shut down the CBP One app, which “paroled” over 1 million illegal immigrants.
  • Deportation flights have already started and the military is assisting with the effort.
  • President Trump signed a series of executive orders ensuring the elimination of discriminatory DEI practices and ensuring merit-based hiring.
  • DEI staff are being placed on leave.
  • The Federal Aviation Administration must now return to merit-based hiring.
  • President Donald Trump signed an executive order telling agencies to stop remote work practices and directing workers to return to the office.
  • President Trump withdrew the United States from the disastrous Paris Climate Agreement that unfairly ripped off our country.
  • President Trump paused all new federal leasing and permitting for massive wind farms that degrade our natural landscapes and fail to serve American energy consumers.

There’s much more! Read the whole list provided by the Trump Administration here.

Over the weekend, Trump’s administration was busy playing hardball.

Border Czar Tom Homan

First, they targeted the members from the violent Venezuala TdA gang. From Twitchy:

“In a joint operation with the ATF, ICE, and local law enforcement, DEA agents raided a party in a suburban Denver warehouse. Agents seized drugs, weapons, and cash and took nearly 50 suspected illegal gang members into custody. The federal party crashers said the warehouse was being used as a makeshift nightclub where the notorious Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua, or TdA, was hosting an invitation-only party.”

Read the details about that raid here.

Next, Columbian President Gustavo Petro learned real quick that President Trump is not going to rollover.

Early Sunday, Petro tried denying entry to US military deportation flights carrying Columbia citizens (including illegal criminals) removed from the US. Swiftly, President Trump issued a harsh response to Petro that included:

  • Emergency 25% tariffs on all goods coming into the United States. In one week, the 25% tariffs will be raised to 50%.
  • A Travel Ban and immediate Visa Revocations on the Colombian Government Officials, and all Allies and Supporters.
  • Visa Sanctions on all Party Members, Family Members, and Supporters of the Colombian Government.

Within an hour, Petro reversed course by sending Columbia’s presidential plane to collect Colombian deportees earlier barred from landing. Read the all the details about this here.

And last night Border Czar Homan was on the ground with ICE in the sanctuary city of Chicago to arrest an illegal alien child sex offender. Dr. Phil was along for the arrest, apparently to film this for some future show for his  MeritTV.

What a difference one week under President Trump makes compared to the feckless incompetence of the last four years. America is back, baby!

I can hardly wait for what may happen this week!
