Trump Seeks to “Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias”


Donald Trump announced plans Thursday to establish a task force and a
presidential commission to protect Christians from religious discrimination. It
will aim to stop “all forms of anti-Christian targeting and discrimination
within the federal government.”

“While I’m in the White House, we will protect Christians in our schools, in
our military, in our government, in our workplaces, hospitals and in our public
squares,” the president said while addressing the National Prayer Breakfast.
“And we will bring our country back together as one nation under God.”

It was easy to miss if you weren’t paying attention, but the Biden
administration really did put Christianity under attack. It used force to
prevent mass worship, supported the arrests of anti-abortion grandmothers,
funded the killing of Middle Eastern believers, and backed an Eastern European
government that banned a Christian denomination because it didn’t like its
politics.

But remember, the former president is a “devout Catholic.”

NCAA Bans Men from Women’s Sports


Does this look fair to you?


<[link removed]>

Thanks to Donald Trump, it won’t be allowed to happen anymore.

The NCAA officially changed its “gender policies” on Thursday, banning men
from competing in collegiate women’s sports. “A student-athlete assigned male
at birth may not compete on a women’s team,” the new policy reads, although
women are still permitted to compete on men’s teams.

Previously, the NCAA allowed men to compete in the women’s category after
undergoing at least one year of testosterone suppression treatment. That’s what
led to images like the one above.Read more.

Unhinged Lawmaker Reacts to Trump Win by Sterilizing Herself


As one of American political history’s most polarizing figures, Donald Trump
tends to elicit somepretty intense behavior.

Those who love him will spend hours in the freezing cold for a chance to get
into a MAGA rally. Those who don’t tend to take drastic measures of their own.

Allow us to introduce you to Laurie Pohutsky. A liberal Michigan state
representative, Pohutsky sees herself as an important figure in the resistance
movement against America’s leader. It’s easy to imagine her screaming “No
Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA!” outside the White House or going onThe View to
decry Elon Musk as a Nazi. She isvery committed to opposing the president.

Don’t believe us? Get this: Pohutsky recently announced that she underwent
sterilization surgery in response to Trump’s November victory.

Why would she do that? Read about her rationale here.

White House Cracks Down on Sanctuary Cities


Defunding sanctuary cities is one of the most common-sense proposals
circulating in America’s national conversation. If rogue local governments
deliberately ignore federal law, thenof course they shouldn’t receive
Washington’s generous funding.

The Trump administration is laying the groundwork for that idea to finally be
realized. This week, Attorney General Pam Bondi issued a memo ordering the DOJ
to stop administering federal grants to localities that refuse to cooperate
with ICE.

“Sanctuary jurisdictions should not receive access to federal grants
administered by the Department of Justice,” it reads.

The administration also sued Chicago on Thursday for using its sanctuary
policies to thwart federal efforts to enforce immigration laws.

“You Have No Business Doing That!: Stephen A. Smith Blasts Trump’s Gaza Plan


Stephen A. Smith hammered Donald Trump’s “utterly ridiculous” Gaza occupation
vision earlier this week, saying he became “incredibly alarmed” after watching
the president’s Tuesday press conference with Benjamin Netanyahu.

“He sounded like he was looking to build Trump casinos or Trump hotels or
whatever the hell else he’s trying to come up with,” Smith said during a
segment of his online show. “It was utterly ridiculous and I’m going to say
that right now, plain and simple.”

“But when I saw this president speak last night as if he was in the process of
facilitating a business deal, that is where my antennas went up, and I became
incredibly alarmed. You have no business doing that,” he added.

Whether Trump’s proposal represents his genuine vision for the future of the
Israel/Palestine conflict or is part of a larger negotiation game remains to be
seen.

Lowering the Drinking Age?


There’s something weird about the fact that 20-year-old Americans are allowed
to die in neocon war projects but may not go to the gas station and buy a Coors
Light. But that could be changing.

An Illinois state representative is proposing a bill to lower the state’s
drinking age from 21 to 18, amending the Liquor Control Act of 1934 to permit
all adults to purchase the beverages of their choice.Read more.

Fetterman Warns Against Democrat Extremism


John Fetterman cautioned Democrats against continuing the Biden and Harris
campaigns’ extreme rhetoric this week, warning that the party could lose white
men forever if it doesn’t reverse course.

“I think their primary currency was shaming and scolding and talking down to
people and telling them, ‘Hey, I know better than you,’ or ‘you’re dopes,’ or
‘you’re a bro,’ or ‘you’re ignorant,’ or, you know, ‘How can you be this dumb?
I can’t imagine it,'” Fetterman said.

He also decried his party for labeling the other side Nazis and fascists,
saying “When you’re in a state like Pennsylvania, like I know and I love people
that voted for Trump, and they’re not fascists.”

The extent to which Democrats spent the last campaign insulting the other
side should serve as a lesson for all future aspiring officeholders. Demeaning
people is not a good way to get them to support you.

Valentine’s Day is one week away. Although it’s a romantic and celebratory

lover, the Memphis Zoo is here to help. For a mere $10, it will send your ex a

Would bestowing this upon your former partner be petty? Yes. But we don’t
judge. Would it eliminate any chance you had of getting back together? Almost
certainly. But sometimes bridges must be burned.

Commentary


Sit Down, Volodymyr. It’s Time for a Talk.


In a way, Volodymyr Zelensky deserves some credit. Unlike most American
leaders, he definitely knows how to advocate for his own interests.


There’s no better example than his declaration this week. As we reported
yesterday, he recently said that if the U.S. cannot guarantee his country a
quick path toward NATO membership, then he would accept nuclear armament as a
consolation prize.


Read that one more time. Both possibilities are essentially the same thing. If
the first happens, Ukraine officially joins the West’s outdated anti-Russia
alliance and receives its nuclear weapons. That means Russia would share a
border with a nuclear-armed, U.S.-backed adversary, which it understandably
sees as unacceptable.


The second unfolding would have the exact same outcome. Ukraine gets nukes,
and the best-case scenario is that its war with Russia drags on as it has for
three years. Worst case is extinction.


All of that is avoidable. Zelensky can shout whatever demands he wants, but
his fate ultimately lies with Donald Trump. Like Israel, Zelensky’s country is
cripplingly dependent on American taxpayer funding for its war to continue. The
U.S. president threatening to pull it could be the only way to achieve
meaningful change that leads to peace.


It’s time to give the Ukrainian leader some sobering news: the jig is up.
America’s new priority must be ending Eastern Europe’s bloodshed, not
continuing the Biden doctrine of prolonging it foras long as it takes. If that
requires Zelensky to make concessions, like God forbid forfeiting his ability
to join NATO or suddenly acquire a nuclear arsenal, then so be it. It’s time
for the violence to end.

This Day in History


February 7, 1845: A drunk British Museum visitor shatters the Portland Vase, a
Roman glass treasure believed to be over 2,000 years old. The culprit, a young
Dubliner named William Lloyd, admitted he had been “indulging in intemperance
for a week before” his destructive act after the deed was done. He quickly
received a £3 fine, which he did not pay. Conservator and ceramics expert Nigel
Williams restored the piece 144 years later.
