Former DNC Chairman Has TDS MELTDOWN Over ‘Crazy’ Trump Tariffs

On Wednesday, former Democratic National Committee chairman Howard Dean had a full blown TDS meltdown during his appeared on MSNBC’s “The Beat,” claiming that President Donald Trump’s “crazy” fixation on tariffs will end up costing Americans loads of money.

Dean declared, “We have to be willing to show that we’re going to stand up for people. That’s why Trump won. Trump convinced them falsely because he lied every single day he was out there that he was going to stand up for them. And they figured, well, OK, let’s give it a shot. And, you know, we’ve got to be out there, and we’ve got to be at every door. It can’t be the same old, same old from inside the beltway who has a different agenda. Not a bad agenda for the country, but a different agenda. The emergency agenda right now is for most Americans is how the hell am I going to make a living? And Trump’s making things worse.”

He cried, “Trump doesn’t know what he’s doing. I mean, this stuff about tariffs, he has a fixation about it. It’s crazy. And it’s going to cost us a lot of money. My heating bill is in solely gas and electricity that comes from Canada. I’m going to pay 25% or whatever it is more on my heating bill. You know, there’s a whole lot of people. This is a pretty blue state, but that’s going to happen in Montana and Idaho and all these places that aren’t blue states. North Dakota is another one. I mean, these are real big problems for ordinary working people, and that’s going to change them around.”

Sorry, but I am going to trust the billionaire businessman over the career politician. That’s just me.

WUT? Raskin Claims GOP ‘At War’ with ‘Government of the People’

On Wednesday, Democrat Representative Jamie Raskin appeared on MSNBC’s “Prime” and made the ignorant claim that the Republican Party is “at war with the government of the people.”

Raskin declared, “The Republicans are in a full-blown attack on Medicaid. They want to cut $880 billion from the Medicaid program. Elon Musk has said Social Security, of course, is the big one. That’s the big target that they’re aiming for, and they are hollowing out all kinds of federal agencies and departments that the American people depend on, like NIH, which does the cutting edge medical research. And it’s now got swept up in their whole anti-science crusade.”

Do these people even hear themselves when they speak?

He continued, “Same thing with, you know, the FAA. They sacked the director of the FAA on the first day of their administration, January 20th, because Elon Musk doesn’t like him, and they got rid of his top coterie. And what do you know? We have the first fatal airplane crash in 17 years, followed by a whole bunch of other collisions and near collisions that have taken place.”

Raskin added, “So people are beginning to recognize that the GOP is really at war with the government of the people, and they don’t like the idea that the government is an instrument of the common good. They want to use it for the billionaires, and it’s a billionaires cabinet. And we saw who was sitting behind Donald Trump on his Inauguration Day. It was Elon Musk, and it was Mark Zuckerberg, and it was Jeff Bezos and behind them was a cabinet of billionaires. So, it’s a government that represents much less than 1% of the American people. And what’s happening in these town hall meetings across the country is extraordinary that the vast majority of Americans are turning out to say they want their government back.”

Pelosi Digs Talons into Schumer – ‘I Myself Don’t Give Away Anything for Nothing’

Pelosi Digs Talons into Schumer – ‘I Myself Don’t Give Away Anything for Nothing’

Meow! The kitties are turning on each other! Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi dug her talons into Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Tuesday, clearly angry that he voted alongside Republicans on a bill to avoid government shutdown.

“I myself don’t give away anything for nothing,” Pelosi took her jab during a press conference in San Francisco. “I think that’s what happened the other day.”

Personally, I find that funny because I think Pelosi would “over herself away” for a shot of vodka.

At the time, Pelosi urged Senate Democrats to go against Schumer and vote against the bill, preaching that they were being sold a “false choice.”

“I salute Leader Hakeem Jeffries for his courageous rejection of this false choice, and I am proud of my colleagues in the House Democratic Caucus for their overwhelming vote against this bill,” she claimed. “America has experienced a Trump shutdown before – but this damaging legislation only makes matters worse. Democrats must not buy into this false choice. We must fight back for a better way.”

However, Schumer argued that the bill may be a “terrible option” but that a government shutdown would be even worse.

“The Republican bill is a terrible option,” he stated on Thursday. “It is deeply partisan. It doesn’t address far too many of this country’s needs. But I believe allowing Donald Trump to take even much more power via a government shutdown is a far worse option.”

Jennings Blows GASKET on Neera Tanden: ‘Let Me Educate You!’

On Tuesday, Conservative political strategist Scott Jennings went OFF on former Biden administration official Neera Tanden on CNN NewsNight.

As the panel discussed the increasing vandalism and violence against Tesla dealerships and Tesla owners, Jennings argued that the acts are “domestic terrorism.”

“The other night, Donald Trump said these are domestic terrorists,” he declared. “I mean, it’s obviously an organized, coordinated effort – however people are communicating with each other to do this to people around the country who chose to buy a Tesla at some point in the past, many of whom I’m sure were Democrats who bought them in the first place – all because their entire political worldview is ruled by their emotions. And that’s the American left right now. It is one angry mob after another willing to take things into their own hands, up to and including keying, firebombing, and otherwise vandalizing cars and car dealerships and charging stations.”

Tanden shot back, “So, when they do it to a Tesla dealership, it’s really bad. But when they do it to the halls of Congress, we should pardon them? Is that your position?”

“No. I’ve never,” Jennings replied. “I know you haven’t been around for a while, so let me educate you about my position about January 6th.”

Tanden sneered, “I’m so sorry.”

“Let me educate. Let me educate you,” Jennings argued. “You don’t need to be condescending to me. So let me educate you about my position! You wanna attack me? Let me. Let me finish. Let me finish it.

Tanden said, “I’m sorry you’re getting emotional.”

Jennings retorted, “Yeah, I’m sorry you’re a condescending person who hasn’t been paying attention to what I do. So here’s the issue. I didn’t support what happened on January 6th and was one of the first Republicans to call it out. I don’t support the pardons. I have repeatedly, just like my friend Ashley here, said that no violence in our political system is acceptable. But this right here, what’s going on with a guy who helps our country, who runs successful companies, who doesn’t have to be doing this, and now one of his companies is under systematic terroristic threat and violence all over the country.”

He added, “And people seem to be laughing about it or fine with it. It’s outrageous. I’ve sat at this table and had people say we should cut Elon Musk from the government totally. He rescued our astronauts today. Is that what we want? The treatment of this guy is outrageous. These people who are doing this need to be found and put in jail and made an example of. That’s my point.”

WTH? Schumer MOCKS ‘Greedy’ Americans Who Want Less Taxes, Smaller Government

WTH? Schumer MOCKS ‘Greedy’ Americans Who Want Less Taxes, Smaller Government

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has the audacity to mock Americans who want less taxes and a smaller government as “greedy.” So now it’s greedy to want freedom and to keep more of our hard earned money? Give me a break!!

On Tuesday, Schumer appeared on ABC’s “The View” and discussed the recent government spending bill, which was signed by President Donald Trump. As previously reported, Schumer voted in favor of the bill to avoid a government shutdown, which has gained backlash from Democrats, many of which have called for him to step down.

When co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin asked Schumer if he believes his party still “has confidence” in him to lead, or if he thinks it’s time to step aside, the senator claimed that he is the “orchestra leader” of the party.

“We have a lot of really strong talent in the Senate, in the House, in the Governors. We have a great bench,” Schumer replied. “As for the Senate Caucus, of which I am the leader, I should be the leader. And, let me just say this. One of the things I am known to be very good at, is how to win Senate seats. In other words, I’m a strategist in terms of recruiting candidates, helping the candidates run campaigns and win it. Look, winning in 2026 in the House and Senate — which could stop Trump once and for all, is vitally important.”

“We have a load of talent in our caucus, and I’ll tell you one thing. We are totally united in one thing — many things, but one thing above all. We are united in going after Trump, and showing the American people that he is making the middle class pay for the tax cuts on the rich,” he continued. “Today, we’re doing it on Medicaid. You know we’re going to do it very soon on the tariffs — he wants to put these tariffs in, it’s going to raise you folks, the average family, $2,000 a year for these tariffs. Why is he doing that — something so stupid?”

“He wants to use that money for tax cuts for the billionaires. The Republican Party is a different kettle of fish than it used to be, and that’s why we’re fighting them so hard,” Schumer argued. “They are controlled by a small group of wealthy, greedy people, and you know what their attitude is? ‘I made my money all by myself. How dare your government take my money from me? I don’t want to pay taxes.’ Or, ‘I built my company with my bare hands. How dare your government tell me how I should treat my customers, my — the land and water that I own, or my employees. They hate government, government’s a barrier to people.”

His claims that Americans are greedy were not taken well, and people spoke out on social media.

“This tirade by Senate Schumer against Americans who work hard, run businesses and would like to keep more of their money, not give it all to the government, is Exhibit A as to why Democrats are in free fall,” Sen. Lindsey Graham declared on X.

“.@SenSchumer mocking hardworking Americans who want to keep their own money is exactly what’s wrong with the left,” Rep. Ralph Norman chimed in. “Out of touch!!”

“Please make this a 2026 ad,” one user wrote.

“Taxation is theft,” Ben Domenech, the editor-at-large for The Spectator declared.

GUILTY! Greenpeace Activists Found Liable Over Dakota Pipeline Protests, Awards $660 million

GUILTY! Greenpeace Activists Found Liable Over Dakota Pipeline Protests, Awards $660 million

A North Dakota jury found Greenpeace liable for over $660 million in damages to Energy Transfer, the company behind the Dakota Access Pipeline.

The lawsuit, which claimed Greenpeace’s support for the protests delayed pipeline construction and caused financial harm, was met with Greenpeace’s assertion that the verdict could chill free speech. Greenpeace plans to appeal the decision and has countersued Energy Transfer in the Netherlands.

As reported by The Center Square:

A North Dakota jury of nine on Wednesday found environmental activist group Greenpeace liable for hundreds of millions of dollars in damages in a years-long lawsuit brought by Energy Transfer, the company that built the Dakota Access Pipeline that became the subject of sometimes violent protests and international attention.

Energy Transfer sued Greenpeace for $300 million over the protests that delayed the pipeline’s completion by five months, but jurors awarded the energy infrastructure giant and its subsidiary, Dakota Access LLC, a total of more than $660 million.

Energy Transfer retained lawyers from international law firm Gibson and Dunn. The lawsuit’s lead attorney, Trey Cox, gave a statement after the verdict Wednesday.

“This victory is a triumph for many. We hope this condemnation of Greenpeace will bring some measure of healing and closure to the Morton County community [where the sometimes violent protests occurred] and the entire state of North Dakota,” Cox told reporters outside the courthouse. “While Energy Transfer and DAPL were victorious in the courtroom, this is a resounding win for the people of Bismarck, Mandan, and Morton County, as well as the law enforcement officers across this state who diligently worked and risked their lives to maintain order.”

Cox also said Wednesday’s verdict was aligned with the U.S. Constitution and the First Amendment, though Greenpeace has said the lawsuit could have a chilling effect on free speech.

“[Today] is a day of celebration for the Constitution, the state of North Dakota and Energy Transfer,” Cox said. “This verdict serves as a powerful affirmation of the First Amendment. Peaceful protest is an inherent American right; however, violent and destructive protest is unlawful and unacceptable.”

In 2016 and 2017, Dakota Access LLC installed the Dakota Access Pipeline, a near 1,200-mile crude oil pipeline running from shale fields in North Dakota to Illinois. What began as a small protest to the pipeline by some members of The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe for environmental and cultural reasons quickly grew in size and scope.

The sometimes violent protests garnered international attention and drew more than 100,000 people to the area from April 2016 through most of February 2017. Greenpeace supported the protests with funding and other support. Energy Transfer blamed the environmental group for some of the unlawful acts that took place there including vandalism – as well as for the eventual decision of nearly half the pipeline’s investors to reduce or end their commitment to the project.

Though the decision was a blow to Greenpeace, its team of attorneys remained confident after the verdict the environmental group’s work would continue. Greenpeace had said the $300 million figure could bring about its financial ruin, but Senior Legal Advisor for Greenpeace USA Deepa Padmanabha said the organization would find a way to carry on its work.

“The work of Greenpeace is never going to stop. That’s the really important message today,” said Padmanabha. “We’re just walking out, [but] we’re going to get together and figure out what our next steps are.”

Trump Reveals Agreements Made During Call with Putin

On Tuesday, President Donald Trump revealed the agreements made during his conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin, including an immediate ceasefire on infrastructure and energy in the Ukraine War.

Trump posted on Truth Social that the call lasted over two hours, but “was a very good and productive one.”

“We agreed to an immediate Ceasefire on all Energy and Infrastructure, with an understanding that we will be working quickly to have a Complete Ceasefire and, ultimately, an END to this very horrible War between Russia and Ukraine,” he explained.

Breitbart reports:

The Kremlin said Putin had “responded positively” to the proposal of a 30-day energy infrastructure ceasefire “and immediately gave the Russian military the corresponding order,” according to a translation.

Negotiations around a Black Sea maritime ceasefire and a full ceasefire are set to begin immediately in the Middle East, as noted in a statement by the White House.

Trump also revealed that he and Putin discussed several aspects of a peace deal, noting that the war would have never started if he had been the sitting president.

“Many elements of a Contract for Peace were discussed, including the fact that thousands of soldiers are being killed, and both President Putin and President Zelenskyy would like to see it end,” the president said. “That process is now in full force and effect, and we will, hopefully, for the sake of Humanity, get the job done!”

“The two leaders agreed that a future with an improved bilateral relationship between the United States and Russia has huge upside,” the White House said in a statement. “This includes enormous economic deals and geopolitical stability when peace has been achieved.”

Angry Bernie Resorts to Fear-mongering: ‘Americans Should be Frightened’

On Tuesday, Senator Bernie Sanders appeared on CNN’s “The Source” and claimed that Americans should be scared because President Donald Trump doesn’t “respect our Constitution.”

Sanders declared, “Look, you know, the guys who wrote the Constitution back in the 1790s when nobody’s fools, what they wanted to do is have a separation of powers between the executive, the legislative, and the judiciary so that one person could not assume enormous power. And what you are seeing right now is a president who is authoritarian. He just attacked the media the other day. I think he called CNN illegal because I gather that now and then, you criticize him. He has tried to encroach on the constitutional responsibilities and spending powers of Congress, and now he’s going after the courts.”

He continued, “If somebody is a corrupt judge, that person can and should be impeached, but not because you voiced an opinion. That’s why these guys have life terms: they are immune from these types of attacks and can be objective in their judgment.”

Sanders added, “We live in a society of rule of law. The Supreme Court has its power, judges have their power, and it should frighten every American, whether you’re conservative or progressive, that you have a president who does not respect our Constitution and wants more and more power for himself. It’s very dangerous.”
