Here Are the Exposed Truths after the DC Dust-Up Settles

Our language provides a number of terms describing a conflict that arises because of misdirection or ill-guided feelings. Such is a brouhaha; dust-up; donnybrook; fracas; or row, among many other terms. All describe a heated conflict that prevents a rational understanding. But eventually the “dust-up” clears, the dust settles and the rational exposes the asininities that provoked the furor.

The “dust-up” of President Trump’s meeting with Vladimir Zelensky illustrate truths that the Democrats/RINOS/Deep State Bureaucrats are attempting to forever erase. They seek to make President Trump and his current Administration look like the baddest of the bad guys. The behavior of the “opposition” to President Trump is a lengthy list of dunderheaded lies, poisoned history, and delusional pipe dreams.

The dust has settled and truths are now clarified

FIRST, the Russo/Ukrainian disaster is owned by the Democrats!

This point has been buried. The D’s are incensed because of Russia’s actions. They willingly fail to admit that BHO was the cause of this conflict. Repeatedly stated, but ignored, is the truth that had President Trump been President of the USA, Russia would have never invaded Ukraine in 2014. How conveniently the open mike of BHO conversation been erased from the current discussion.

The D’s/RINOS delete this event prior to Russia’s invasion into Ukraine and the USA sitting complicitly. “This is my last election, and after my election I’ll have more flexibility,” Obama said to Medvedev after their bilateral meeting, according to audio picked up by television cameras that apparently was not intended to be heard by reporters. “I understand,” Medvedev replied. “I will transmit this information to Vladimir (Putin).”

President Trump’s administration has been tougher on Russia than either BHO or Biden. BHO allowed Russia to annex Crimea and only offered them “pillows and blankets.” President Trump stated, “I’m the one that gave Ukraine offensive weapons and tank killers. Obama didn’t. You know what he sent? He sent pillows and blankets. I’m the one — and he’s the one that gave away a part of Ukraine where Russia annexed it,” Trump said in a “60 Minutes” interview.

SECOND, the flagrant disrespect is appalling!

“House rules” is a common sense governing in behavior. Whether it is within one’s personal house, in the community mores, in personal visits outside of one’s country, or especially in the norms expected in official meetings. You will not be well-received if you come into my home and disrespect the basic boundaries. In fact, you will be shown the door with the greatest possible haste!

Disrespect has been exposed in the intention of the visit…Zelensky had already signed with the UK an agreement on January 16 regarding “nine key pillars” of cooperation for “100 years.” One key point in the announcement was the following: It also cements the UK as a preferred partner for Ukraine’s energy sector, critical minerals strategy and green steel production. As Joe Hoft notes, “Although still not to be confirmed, some believe that this entire agreement includes the fact that Ukraine gave the rights of its minerals to the UK.”

Joe Biden’s Handlers Just Humiliated Him on Social Media

The most irrelevant former president in history just can’t stop embarrassing himself. 

We haven’t heard much from Joe Biden since he left office, but his social media handlers thought it would be a brilliant idea to post a saccharine International Women’s Day message on Saturday, apparently hoping everyone would forget how he single-handedly sought to destroy women’s sports during his disastrous presidency.

“Like so many of you, I’m celebrating the incredible women in my life today,” Biden’s handlers wrote, presumably while he was enjoying his afternoon ice cream cone. “International Women’s Day is a time to recognize the achievements of women and girls everywhere and recommit our efforts to advance dignity, opportunity, and equality for all.”

The post concluded by saying, “When women and girls succeed, communities, economies, and democracies succeed.”

The breathtaking hypocrisy of this statement would be laughable if it weren’t so insulting to every female athlete who lost scholarships, medals, and opportunities thanks to Biden’s radical transgender agenda, or was injured while competing against a male. This is the same guy who signed an executive order forcing women to compete against biological males in sports and tried to completely rewrite Title IX to accommodate his woke ideology.

The Democratic Party has no right to claim they support women. Remember when Biden’s administration threatened to punish states that dared to protect women’s sports?  Or this year, when nearly every House Democrat voted against the Protection of Women and Girls in Sport Act, and then Senate Democrats filibustered the bill? So much for “advancing dignity, opportunity, and equality.”

The results of Biden’s war on women has been predictably disastrous. Female athletes have suffered actual physical injuries competing against biological males, lost scholarships they worked their entire lives to earn, and watched helplessly as their records were shattered by competitors with obvious biological advantages.

Trump’s DOJ Launches Investigation Into Soaring Egg Prices

The Department of Justice under President Trump has officially launched an investigation into the staggering surge in egg prices, which is expected to rise by more than 40% in 2025.

According to a Wall Street Journal report, the DOJ has sent letters to major egg producers, demanding they preserve documents related to their pricing discussions with customers and competitors, as well as communications with Expana—formerly Urner Barry—a business publisher that tracks egg prices.

The investigation appears to be focused on determining whether major egg companies colluded to restrict supply and artificially inflate prices while raking in record-breaking profits.

The Biden administration’s economic disaster has already led to a crippling increase in food prices that have burdened American families. When Biden took office in January 2021, the average cost of a dozen eggs was just $1.47.

Fast forward to December 2024, and that same carton costs $4.15—a nearly 200% increase, according to the Federal Reserve of St. Louis.

Now, with some stores pricing a dozen eggs at $10 or higher, the Trump administration is stepping in to determine whether corporate price gouging has worsened the crisis.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s latest data indicates that the national average price of eggs has soared to an alarming $6.85.

According to ABC7, one company that has greatly benefited from this crisis is Cal-Maine Foods, the largest producer of fresh eggs in the United States.

Dems Are Hoping to F-Bomb Their Way Into America’s Hearts

Happy Monday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. The Sine Qua Non Sequitur is taking a personal day to catalogue Pinterest photos of various buttercream offerings. 

I hope that all of you who live in federal time slave states are adjusting to whatever sort of springing it was you did on Saturday night. That must have been a lot after the rigors of celebrating International Women’s Day. So. Many. Sandwiches.

My friend Ed Morrissey did a deep dive at HotAir about the present state of Daylight Saving (NO “S”!) Time, and whether the government is going to do something about it. Given my notorious lack of faith in the federal government, I know whatever it does regarding DST will just make it worse. 

We’ve been spending a lot of time lately examining the thoroughly wretched state of the once-functional Democratic Party. The struggle is real for present-day Dems. It’s an especially rough go for the Dem water-carriers in the mainstream media. Once the water is carried, the lipstick has to be put on the pig, and they’re forever running low on that these days. 

The kinds of things that they are forced to spin for their masters at the Democratic National Committee aren’t exactly flattering. This is from something that Rick wrote over the weekend:

For Democrats, the experience is particularly unnerving. It has unmoored many of them from civilized society and sent them on a search for “authenticity.” As Politico reports, “one unifying thread as they try to invigorate their connection to the American voter has been a reach for profanity.”

You know, I have to give credit where credit is due: This is definitely a novel concept for bouncing back after a major electoral defeat. It’s certainly more cost-effective than traditional political outreach methods like television advertising or direct mail. And who needs fresh policy ideas when you can bond with the voters by simply wagging a salty tongue?

I’ll admit to being a little torn here. Lately, I think it would be nice to go for a day or two without writing another “Yeesh, look what the Democrats are up to now” column. Then again, that’s a rich vein of material to keep mining. There’s also the fact that this particular iteration of the Democratic Party is so filled with lunatics that there is some variety to the expressions of madness. 

To the surprise of no one, Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas shows up in this story. She is rapidly establishing herself as the Queen of the Democratic toilet. If the Dems ever do eventually come up with any coherent plans for emerging from the political exile that they are in at the moment, there’s a good chance that Crockett’s perpetually open foul mouth will interfere with them. I’ve got a feeling about this one. In fact, I told Paula last week that we might want to get more pictures of Crockett for our photo library because I’m sure we’re going to be writing about her a lot in the coming months. 

None of it will be flattering, by the way.

Trans-Affirming Gov. Gavin Newsom Sparks Far-Left Outrage After Admitting Transgender Athletes in Women’s Sports Is ‘Deeply Unfair’

California Governor Gavin Newsom—one of the most vocal leftist champions of the radical LGBTQ+ agenda—just committed the ultimate sin in the eyes of his progressive allies: he admitted the truth.

In the first episode of his new podcast, This is Gavin Newsom, the California Democrat shockingly broke ranks with the far left, conceding that biological men competing in women’s sports is, in his own words, “deeply unfair.”

“I think it’s an issue of fairness. I completely agree with you on that. It is an issue of fairness. It’s deeply unfair,” Newsom told Charlie Kirk.

Charlie Kirk:
You right now should come out and be like, “You know what? The young man who’s about to win the state championship in the long jump in female sports—that shouldn’t happen. You, as the governor, should step out and say no.”

Gavin Newsom:
No, and I appreciate that.

Charlie Kirk:
But would you do something like that? Would you say, “No men in female sports?”

Gavin Newsom:
Well, I think it’s an issue of fairness. I completely agree with you on that; that’s easy to call out, the unfairness of that. There’s also a humility and grace that these people lack, which makes them more likely to commit suicide, and suffer from anxiety and depression. The way that people talk about vulnerable communities is an issue that I have a hard time with as well.

New York Blocks ICE From Detaining Illegal Immigrant Accused Of Subway Murder

An illegal immigrant accused of setting a woman on fire inside a New York subway station remains protected under the city’s sanctuary policies, sparking outrage from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. She criticized New York officials for refusing to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement, allowing dangerous individuals to remain in the country.

Noem visited the subway station where the brutal attack took place, blaming city leaders for policies that prioritize illegal immigrants over law-abiding residents. She pointed out that the suspect first crossed the border illegally in 2018, was deported under President Donald Trump, but later reentered the country and took advantage of New York’s lax immigration policies.

The suspect had been living in New York for over a year, receiving assistance from programs that provide shelter and food for illegal immigrants. Noem stated that these sanctuary protections make the city a safe haven for criminals, increasing risks for everyday citizens.

Despite a request from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to detain the suspect, the New York City Department of Corrections refused to comply, allowing him to remain in local custody. Noem called the decision a failure of leadership, saying both Gov. Kathy Hochul and Mayor Eric Adams are responsible for endangering public safety.

Democrats Won’t Be Happy Until They Destroy Every Great City

I used to work in the city of Boston, Mass., and felt relatively safe in the city, even at night. It’s a great city—or at least it was—full of history. In a lot of ways, I miss being there every day (it’s been many years)… in other ways, not so much. Frankly, I really don’t think I’d be comfortable there anymore. Why? Because the city’s Democrat mayor, Michelle Wu, has officially lost her mind. 

In her latest far-left scheme to destroy what’s left of this once-great city, she’s implemented a mind-boggling “no-arrest” policy for drug dealers. You read that right—drug dealers are getting a free pass in Boston now, courtesy of the local Democratic Party.

This disastrous policy, cooked up by Wu alongside Police Commissioner Michael Cox and Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden, represents everything wrong with progressive governance. They’re calling it an “evolution” in tackling drug problems. 

“At the end of the day, this issue is about sobriety,” said Hayden. “Incarceration is not the answer to help get them sober, and if we don’t get them sober, then they’re coming back.

“If we don’t address the underlying issue, then we don’t solve the problem, and they will continue to commit whatever crime they were committing, whether it’s drug use, whether it’s drug dealing to support the habit, whether it’s shoplifting, whether it’s robbing somebody, whatever it may be, that’s what we’re trying to deal with,” Hayden added.

While Wu and her squad of enablers pat themselves on the back for their “compassionate” approach, Boston’s streets are turning into open-air drug markets. Local business owners are watching their livelihoods circle the drain as customers avoid the increasingly dangerous downtown area. At a recent business roundtable, desperate store owners spelled it out plain and simple: the drug situation “scares the customer to come in town and buy stuff.”

US Air Force Forced to Scramble F-16s Again After Two Aircraft Violates Airspace Near Trump’s Mar-a-Lago

In what is becoming an alarming pattern, U.S. Air Force F-16s once again had to intercept a civilian aircraft for violating restricted airspace near President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence this weekend.

This marks the second incursion in just two days.

The first incident occurred at approximately 8:50 a.m. on Saturday when a general aviation aircraft entered the restricted airspace. NORAD F-16s responded promptly, escorting the aircraft out of the area without further incident.

“NORAD and the FAA work closely together to keep the skies over America safe, with close attention paid to areas with Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFR),’’ said Gen. Gregory Guillot, Commander, NORAD and US Northern Command.

“Adherence to TFR procedures is essential to ensure flight safety, national security, and the security of the President. The procedures are not optional, and the excessive number of recent TFR violations indicates many civil aviators are not reading Notice to Airmen, or NOTAMs, before each flight as required by the FAA, and has resulted in multiple responses by NORAD fighter aircraft to guide offending aircraft out of the TFR. Should the pilot of an aircraft happen to find itself intercepted by one of fighters or helicopters, they should immediately come up on frequency 121.5 or 243.0 and turn around to reverse course until receiving additional instructions on one of those frequencies.”

The second violation took place around 1:15 p.m. on Sunday, involving another civilian aircraft breaching the TFR.

According to a press release from NORAD, F-16s from the Continental U.S. NORAD Region (CONR) were deployed to intercept and escort the rogue aircraft out of the area.

During the interception, the F-16s deployed flares, to capture the pilot’s attention before safely guiding the aircraft out of the restricted zone.

“NORAD and the FAA work closely together to keep the skies over America safe, with close attention paid to areas with Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFR),’’ said Gen. Gregory Guillot, Commander, NORAD and US Northern Command.

Top Streamer Says Violent Threats on Reddit Will Lead to Real ID For the Internet

Top streamer Asmongold predicts that the sheer amount of violent threats being posted on Reddit will grease the skids for an Internet ID system that will end online anonymity.

Since Donald Trump took office, the far-left website has seen a massive uptick in threats of violence targeting Trump, people in his administration and conservatives in general.

Last month, Reddit temporarily banned multiple pages after users began posting threats aimed at staff working for the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

“Time to hunt,” one user posted, while another asserted, “Lets drag their necks up by a large coil up rope.”

According to popular streamer Asmongold, the deluge of threats will provide a pretext for the government to mandate tying a person’s real identification to their online user accounts.

Elon Musk Hit the Mother Lode of the Deep State. Now He Believes He’s an Assassination Target.

Elon Musk and his DOGE team have now mined so deeply into the inner workings of government overspending and fraud that they may have hit the Mother Lode of public corruption. And he and his friends believe someone will try to kill him. 

Fort Knox may be full of fool’s gold for all we know. USAID looks to be the mother’s milk of the international Marxist movement, and now Musk and his DOGE organization have hit the main vein: election manipulation. 

As PJ Media colleagues Bryan Jung and Matt Margolis write nearby, the executive suite at ActBlue, the Democrat fundraising colossus, has nearly emptied. Many have done a bunk—to escape what DOGE allegedly uncovered? 

What are they afraid of? Things appear to be worse than the oddly large “donations” made by pensioners in Washington state and other places, and worse than the dodgy credit-like cards issued to acolytes.  Musk believes that the giant Democrat money machine paid for the “protests” —and worse? –  at his Tesla showrooms and charging stations throughout the country. And the DOGE team believes it has discovered a through-line between ActBlue and illegality. 

ActBlue and other NGOs have gamed the system, and the Federal Election Commission has let them. He’s getting close to organized election fraud.
