Pete Buttigieg Responds to Trump Criticism, Humiliates Himself in the Process

It was inevitable that after President Trump called Pete Buttigieg out during a press conference following the devastating air disaster at Reagan National Airport on Jan. 29—one that tragically claimed 67 lives—that the former Transportation Secretary would respond.

“The FAA, which was overseen by Secretary Pete Buttigieg—a real winner. This guy’s a real winner,” Trump said, thick with sarcasm. “Do you know how badly everything’s run since he’s run this Department of Transportation? He’s a disaster. He was a disaster as a mayor. He ran his city into the ground, and he’s a disaster. Now, he’s just got a good line of bulls—t.”

Trump continued, “The Department of Transportation, his government agency, charged with regulating civil aviation, well, he runs it, 45,000 people, and he’s run it right into the ground with his diversity.”

With renewed focus on the impact of diversity initiatives and DEI programs and their impact on aviation safety, Buttigieg responded in a post on X.

“Despicable. As families grieve, Trump should be leading, not lying. We put safety first, drove down close calls, grew Air Traffic Control, and had zero commercial airline crash fatalities out of millions of flights on our watch.”

This, of course, isn’t completely accurate. An Aug. 2023 investigation by the New York Times exposed a disturbing surge in near collisions at U.S. airports, raising serious safety concerns.

“So far [in 2023], close calls involving commercial airlines have been happening, on average, multiple times a week,” the Times reported after analyzing internal FAA records. In July 2023 alone, there were a staggering 46 near-misses involving commercial aircraft.

Buttigieg himself acknowledged that close calls and near collisions were “out of control” back in 2023.

U.S. Military Launched Airstrikes Against ISIS Operatives In Somalia

The U.S. military has conducted coordinated airstrikes that were ordered by President Donald Trump against ISIS operatives in Somalia, making it the first strikes carried out in the African nation under the new Trump administration. 

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Saturday that the strikes by U.S. Africa Command was directed by Trump and coordinated with Somalia’s government.

This morning I ordered precision Military air strikes on the Senior ISIS Attack Planner and other terrorists he recruited and led in Somalia. These killers, who we found hiding in caves, threatened the United States and our Allies. The strikes destroyed the caves they live in,…— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 1, 2025

“These killers, who we found hiding in caves, threatened the United States and our Allies,” Trump posted on social media.

“The strikes destroyed the caves they live in, and killed many terrorists without, in any way, harming civilians.”

The president ended his post with: “The message to ISIS and all others who would attack Americans is that “WE WILL FIND YOU, AND WE WILL KILL YOU!”

Trump’s State Department Drops The ‘T’ From LGBT on Government Website — Transgenderism No Longer Recognized

The Trump White House is making it abundantly clear that it does not endorse transgenderism and gender ideology.

On the State Department’s official website, the term LGBT no longer exists and has been replaced by LGB.

“LGB” stands for lesbian, gay and bisexual, while the “T” stands for transgenderism.

The change was picked up on a page in which LGB travelers are warned about the potential risks of travelling abroad.

The website states:

LGB travelers can face special challenges abroad. Laws and attitudes in some countries may affect safety and ease of travel.

Many countries do not recognize same-sex marriage. Many countries also only recognize the male and female sex markers in passports and do not have IT systems at ports of entry that can accept other sex markers.

About 70 countries still consider consensual same-sex relations a crime. In some of these countries, individuals who engage in same-sex sexual relations may face severe punishment.

Trump’s Greenland Takeover Threat Could Cause Denmark, and Other European Countries, To Reclaim their Sovereignty

“Today was January 7, 2025. The day when Denmark learned that we can no longer trust the United States. I will NEVER forget that day.”

So wrote political commentator, right-wing influencer Jarl Cordua on social media. This statement reflects what Denmark’s mass media are communicating in their editorials, and quoting influencers and experts on the U.S.-Denmark relationship—a new paradigm totally unexpected is taking place.

In Donald Trump’s second news conference since his election, he said that the U.S. needed Greenland—and the Panama Canal—for “economic security,” for “national security” and to “protect the Free World.”

When a journalist asked if could rule out use economic or military force to acquire them, he replied: “No I can’t assure you on either of those two.”

Trump further stated that, if Denmark resists his offer to purchase Greenland, he would impose tariffs on some of Denmark’s exports.

On the same day, Trump Jr. flew in his father’s private plane for a five-hour greeting to Greenlanders, some of whom were wearing red MAGA hats. “Red” does not stand for communism, rather anti-communist-socialist-social democrat Republicans.

Following his son’s visit, Trump Sr. said, “The reception has been great.” He continued, “Greenland and the Free World need safety, security, strength, and peace!” “Make Greenland great again!” he added.

January 7: Immediately upon hearing what Trump said, Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen met with her coalition government for hours. When she, and Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen (former PM for the rightest “Liberal” party), spoke to the media, her first words were:

“We have close relations with Greenland, Faroe Islands, EU, NATO, USA. We are prepared for the new president. We don’t think anything concrete will happen until Trump takes office. We don’t believe it will lead to such developments. We are USA’s closest ally, and other things are important too, such as our defense of Greenland. We are also a great contributor to NATO and Ukraine.”

Euro lackeys pandering to Trump will escalate NATO’s conflict with Russia

It’s a bad combination. A bruising U.S. president with territorial expansion on his mercurial mind and European politicians without any backbone – all too eager to pander to the American bully.

Mixed in with that noxious brew, we also have European elites who are so obsessively Russophobic that they would stab each other in the back just to keep the proxy war on Russia at full throttle.

Donald Trump, whose policymaking is more befitting a Mafia real estate business, wants to grab Greenland as well as Canada, the Panama Canal, and anywhere else that takes his fancy. He wants to “clean out” Gaza, no doubt to flog beachfront properties to millionaires.

Trump has doubled down on his intention to annex Greenland – by military force if needed. His comments have caused Danish leaders to freak out, fearing that the president may order a military invasion of the Arctic island territory, a centuries-old colonial possession of Copenhagen.

Repeating earlier threats, Trump said last weekend: “I don’t really know what claim Denmark has to it, but it would be a very unfriendly act if they didn’t allow that to happen because it’s for the protection of the free world.” (Not like America’s God-given right to Hawaii, Guam and Puerto Rico, for example.)

Notice how Trump glosses his imperialist real estate interests with the virtue of “protecting the free world.”

The dainty Danes are reportedly in “crisis mode” over Trump’s aggressive takeover. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen went on a whirlwind tour of European capitals on Tuesday to drum up EU solidarity. She held urgent meetings with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in Berlin, French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris and NATO chief Mark Rutte in Brussels – all in one day.

It’s hilarious to hear European non-entity politicians talk bravely about “defending Denmark” from American threats to its sovereignty and extraterritorial borders. They will do nothing of the sort.

The White House Released Its Response to Crying Selena Gomez and It Is Absolutely Devastating

The White House just released a video worthy of ending Selena Gomez’s career.

As readers will know, Gomez humiliated herself with a video uploaded to Instagram in which she cried at the deportation of illegal immigrants, the majority of whom have committed heinous crimes.

“I’m so sorry, I wish I could do something but I can’t,” she weeps in the video.

”I don’t know what to do. I’ll try everything, I promise.”

In an obvious sign of regret, Gomez quickly deleted her video from her account.

However, her following of 422 million meant that her tears will go down in internet history as one of the most humiliating liberal meltdowns of all time.

The White House has now responded to the singer and actress with a devastating video of mothers whose children were murdered by illegal immigrants, who are often referred to as “Angel Moms.”

“You don’t know who you’re crying for,” says Tammy Hamilton, who was the mother of Kayla Hamilton.

“What about our children who were brutally murdered and raped and beat to death and left on the floor by these illegal immigrants?”

“Seeing that video, it’s hard to believe that it’s actually genuine and real because she’s an actress,” says Alexis Nungaray, the mother of Jocelyn Nungaray.

“My daughter was a child,” she continued. “There’s many other children whose lives were taken due to people who crossed her illegally.”

“I just feel like it’s a ruse to deceive people and to garner sympathy for lawlessness,” added Patty Morin, the mother of Rachel Morin.

“They didn’t cry for our daughters. No one has stood up except for us mothers to cry out about our children.”

Trump Envoy Richard Grenell Secures Release of Americans Held in Venezuela Amid Tense Relations

In a highly significant diplomatic move, President Donald Trump’s special envoy, Richard Grenell, successfully negotiated the release of six American citizens from Venezuelan custody.

This development occurred today, following Grenell’s meeting with Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in Caracas.

This breakthrough comes at a critical time when the Trump administration has been actively pursuing an aggressive stance against crime, including ramping up deportation efforts for illegal immigrants and cracking down on dangerous gangs operating in the United States.

Trump Reportedly Tells USDA To Remove All Climate Change Propaganda From Their Websites By End of Day Today

On December 3, 2024, Project Veritas released a video showing a top EPA advisor telling the undercover reporter that they are funneling billions to Climate Organizations as an ‘Insurance Policy’ against President Trump.

“We’re Throwing Gold Bars off the Titanic…”

Well, as an insurance policy against unsettled science, President Trump has issued an order to the USDA, telling them that they are to remove all climate change “propaganda from their websites “no later than close of business day on Friday (today).”

Politico was first to report on the memo after three sources confirmed they received an email on Thursday afternoon giving them an end-of-day Friday deadline to abide by his order.

Replace The Income Tax With Tariffs?

There was a time, before 1913, when you could keep every penny you earned. You did not have to file with the federal government, telling them what you earned and giving the feds their cut. Your finances were your business and no one else’s. You had the right to earn, own, and keep property, and it was sacrosanct, guaranteed by U.S. law and tradition.

There were no audits, investigations, account freezes, withholdings, or any other forms of payment. There was your productivity and you and that’s all.

How was the government funded? It earned revenue through tariffs. These are paid directly by importers and indirectly by producers and consumers if the costs can be passed through. As strategies for gaining revenue, this approach is relatively noninvasive. It left the population alone.

Back in those days, however, the federal government barely existed as compared with today. More precisely, in real terms, the federal government in 1885 spent in inflation-adjusted dollars about 0.05 percent of what it spends today. Even then, people believed that it was too big and wanted it cut back to size.

Donald Trump has recently been schooling people in the history of revenue strategies and he is teaching something that people have not known. He has explained how this period of American history saw the greatest amount of economic growth we’ve ever seen. He is correct about that and he is also correct that this was the period of the tariff.

The cause and effect, however, is murky. The main themes of this period were freedom and sound money. The dollar was governed by the gold standard and there was no central bank. The federal government itself had no presence in the life of the American family or typical American business. Those facts more than tariffs account for the difference between then and now.

As an aside, I cannot remember another U.S. president having as clear an opinion on 19th-century economic history. Most comments by presidents have been limited to pieties about the Founding Fathers or Lincoln but skip over details concerning revenue sources or controversies concerning national banks and the like. Trump is clearly different, highly confident in these details of history that are lost even on most economists.

Trump has explained that the income tax came along in 1913 as a replacement for the tariff. That is correct in design but the historical reality was slightly different. Tariffs were not abolished entirely. The income tax just became a second and additional source of revenue. Then the Great War came, financed in large part by the central bank (the Federal Reserve) that was created the same year.

The income tax and the Fed became the financial source of Leviathan power. Both came about in 1913, along with the direct election of Senators that blew up the bicameral structure of Congress and put the big cities in charge of America’s equivalent of the House of Lords.

Did a Trump executive order just cripple the global US regime change network?

With federal funding paused to USAID, pro-Western media outlets from Ukraine to Nicaragua are panhandling for donations, and a multi-billion dollar regime change apparatus is in panic mode.

Among the flurry of executive orders issued by President Donald Trump in the first days of his administration, perhaps the most consequential to date is one titled, “reevaluating and realigning US foreign aid.”

Under this order, a 90-day pause was instantly enforced on all US foreign development assistance across the globe – excepting, of course, the largest recipients of US aid in Israel and Egypt. For now, the order forbids the disbursement of federal funding for any “non-governmental organizations, international organizations, and contractors” charged with delivering US “aid” programs overseas.

Within days, hundreds of “internal contractors” at the US Agency for International Development (USAID) were placed on unpaid leave or outright fired, as a direct result of the Executive Order. Washington Post contributor John Hudson has reported organization officials brand Trump’s directives on “foreign development assistance” a “shock and awe approach,” which has left them reeling, uncertain of their futures. One nameless USAID apparatchik told him, “they even removed all the pictures in our offices of aid programs,” as accompanying photographs attested.
