It doesn’t matter if the controversy is large or small, or even true and a real controversy. Remember, the issue is never the issue, the issue is the Revolution. For the Marxist – the Communist – every field of human endeavor is a battleground and an opportunity to advance the Revolution.

The Left’s Crisis Might Be Getting Started. Ours Is Actually Ending.
Scott McKay, The American Spectator
Our frequent readers will no doubt have noted my oft-repeated refrain that we have entered a brand new era of American political history. This is the most definitive proof so far available of that notion. What’s on offer is a reality in which rampant corruption and waste in government can be targeted and identified by crowd-sourcing citizen investigators using open-source AI tools and published virally via social media, with politicians laying in wait to exploit it and score points with their constituents. They’ve got a real problem.
Mythologies About Musk
Victor Davis Hanson, American Greatness
Elon Musk and his team are not cutting any federal programs. They are auditors. They were given legal authority under a presidential executive order creating DOGE. Its mandate is to identify waste, abuse, fraud, and irrelevance in the federal budget at a time when the U.S. is $37 trillion in debt. The agency will expire on July 4, 2026. Ultimately, Trump can propose program cuts, but Congress holds the authority to approve or reject them. He may or may not act on all, some, or none of the DOGE recommendations.
Trump, inflation, and ‘Day One’
Byron York, Washington Examiner
A recent CBS News poll found Trump with a job approval rating of 53%, a number unheard of in Trump’s first term. It also showed that big majorities so far believe that Trump is doing what he promised in the campaign. Much of that belief is based on Trump’s early efforts on the border and immigration, which was the second-most important reason he was elected. But 66% say Trump has not focused enough so far on lowering prices. They don’t expect results immediately, but they want to see Trump working on it. They must keep it mind.
Trump’s agenda finally moving in Congress, but House and Senate not on the same page
Lindsey McPherson and Alex Miller, Washington Times
House Republicans unveiled a long-awaited budget blueprint to tee up President Trump’s entire legislative agenda, while a Senate GOP committee advanced an alternative plan that begins with a smaller bite at the apple. The dueling budget resolutions present approaches to passing the Trump agenda through the partisan budget reconciliation process, allowing Republicans to avoid the threat of a Democratic filibuster. The House budget provides instructions for combining the president’s priorities into “one big, beautiful bill.”
Democrat Faces Of Failure
Kurt Schlichter, Townhall
Posturing and procrastination – that’s really all they have. Every day brings new humiliations and subsequent new tantrums. One of the key factors in the Trump 2.0 administration’s plan is to simply ignore these people. Trump acts like they are not even there, and they aren’t. There’s nobody home. It’s all sham outrage and Potemkin antics. We’ve got unattractive people defending unattractive positions in unattractive ways. You almost pity them, but then you remember how evil they are, and you just want to savor their pain.
Justice Department Sues New York over Its Status as a ‘Sanctuary State’
Just the News (Misty Severi), The Star News Network
United States Attorney General Pam Bondi on Wednesday announced that the Justice Department was suing New York and several of its leaders over its status as a “sanctuary state,” which limits its cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. New York is the second state to be sued over its immigration enforcement policies. The Justice Department sued Illinois and Chicago last week for allegedly having interfered with federal immigration laws. The announcement occurred during Bondi’s first official press briefing as attorney general.
Elon Musk: Many Bureaucrats, Like Samantha Power, Are Getting Wealthy At Taxpayers Expense
Tim Hains, Real Clear Politics
Elon Musk said there would be investigations into how members of the federal bureaucracy have become rich on relatively modest salaries, during an Oval Office event with President Trump. "So what we're talking about here—really, we're just talking about adding common-sense controls that should be present but that haven't been present. So you say, "Well, how could such a thing arise? That seems crazy." But when you understand that really everything is geared toward complaint minimization, then you understand the motivations."
