Trump's Policies Set to Usher in a Historic Reversal in Immigration Trends: Report

2 days ago | westernjournal.com | Bryan Chai

If a shocking Washington Post report is to be believed, President Donald Trump appears to have singlehandedly changed the course of recent American history — at least with regards to one very specific aspect. According to the Post, for the first time in 50 years, America is poised to lose more immigrants than it gains in 2025. And, according to hand-wringing researchers, it’s all due to Trump’s policy-making.
Watch: NATO Chief Refers to Trump as 'Daddy' During Summit Meeting

Is President Donald Trump the father figure that the perpetually quarreling Iranians and Israelis need? At least one top North Atlantic Treaty Organization figure apparently thinks so — even bizarrely referring to the U.S. president as “daddy” as part of an analogy describing Trump’s role in deescalating the Middle Eastern conflict. Seriously.
Blue State Democrats' 'Taylor Swift Tax' Proposal Triggers Backlash

2 days ago | westernjournal.com | Bryan Chai

Given her ubiquity and worldwide fame, you’d think that any association with pop czarina Taylor Swift would generally be a popular or well-received one. (Disgruntled NFL fans notwithstanding.)Democrat-run Rhode Island is learning — in real-time — that that’s simply not the case. Especially when Swift’s name is being unofficially plastered on a deeply unpopular tax increase that would hit homeowners who are not year-round occupants of their Rhode Island home.

As the dust began to settle from President Donald Trump’s monumental decision to bomb several Iranian nuclear facilities over the weekend, the steep divide in his base appears to have largely dissipated. The pro-Israel and anti-foreign war wings of the MAGA base had been at each other’s throats over how the president could best handle this situation. Isolationists prefer Trump focus on American issues first and foremost while staying out of foreign blood feuds.
Jasmine Crockett Gives Up on Power Grab as Oversight Committee Selects New Top Dem

One of the more polarizing lawmakers on Capitol Hill had grand plans for the House Oversight Committee. Alas, Texas Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett appears to have given up on those aspirations — at least for now. In a humbling admission of defeat, the normally outspoken and antagonistic lawmaker admitted that her brand of “leadership” was not what the Oversight Committee was looking for.

President Donald Trump’s second term has seen its fair share of vocal critics, particularly with regards to various geopolitical conflicts. Trump has even faced some scrutiny from his MAGA base this go around in terms of these issues. Obviously, Trump’s usual critics from the Democratic left have largely attacked the president, too, on this matter. One curiously mum voice on the matter has actually been Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Insanity: ESPN Announcer Apologizes for Calling America 'Great' During WNBA Broadcast

Calling America “great” is apparently a flagrant foul in the WNBA. ESPN basketball analyst Rebecca Lobo was essentially forced to eat her words after an off-the-cuff comment led to some awkward seconds of silence during a game between the Indiana Fever and the Las Vegas Aces on Sunday. Not only did she backtrack on calling her own country “great,” she actually apologized afterward. And the public backlash has been scathing.

'Ineffectual' DNC Gets Hit with Painful News from Two Prominent Billionaires: Report

If money is, in fact, the root of all evil, what does that say about politics? Obviously nothing great, given that money is often more important than the candidate itself when it comes to modern politics. But money is a necessary evil of politics, for better and mostly for worse, and it’s always better to have some than none. The Republican Party, under the leadership of President Donald Trump, has largely stayed on top of this matter.
Furious Trump Lets Curse Word Fly as He Unleashes on Israel and Iran: 'I'm Not Happy'

3 days ago | westernjournal.com | Joe Saunders

President Donald Trump’s frustration boiled over with an explosive on-camera curse on Tuesday at word that fighting is continuing between Israel and Iran. Leaving the White House for a NATO summit in the Netherlands, as Fox News reported, Trump delivered a message that was uncharacteristically blunt — even for a politician with a well-earned reputation for speaking his mind. But it reportedly had the desired effect, at least on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
