    Radical Congresswoman Floats Deporting Melania Trump In Unhinged Anti-DOGE Rant

      Democrat California Rep. Maxine Waters suggested President Donald Trump should investigate and potentially deport first lady Melania Trump during an anti-DOGE protest in Los Angeles over the weekend. 

      “When he [Trump] talks about birthright, and he’s going to undo the fact that the Constitution allows those who are born here, even if the parents are undocumented, they have a right to stay in America. If he wants to start looking so closely to find those who were born here and their parents were undocumented, maybe he ought to first look at Melania,” Waters was seen saying from the stage of a rally in Los Angeles, various videos posted to social media show. 

      “We don’t know whether or not her parents were documented. And maybe we better just take a look,” she added. 

      Melania Trump was born in the former Yugoslavia and became a U.S. citizen in 2006, according to official government biographies of the first lady. She is the first U.S. first lady to become a naturalized citizen, and the second first lady to be born outside of the U.S. – following President John Quincy Adams’ wife Louisa Catherine Johnson Adams, who was born in London in 1775. 

      The first lady sponsored her parents, who were also from current-day Slovenia, for green cards and then citizenship after securing her own citizenship, the New York Times reported in 2018. Viktor and Amalija Knavs, the first lady’s parents, officially became U.S. citizens in 2018.

      Waters was referring to President Donald Trump signing an executive order on his first day in office that bans birthright citizenship. The executive order works to clarify the 14th Amendment, which states, “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”

      The Trump EO seeks to narrow the scope of birthright citizenship to ban individuals who were born to illegal immigrant parents, or those who were here legally but on temporary non-immigrant visas. 

      The executive order is currently tied up in court, with Trump taking the case to the U.S. Supreme Court last week. 

      Far-left Democrat Slammed For Inciting Violence Against Prominent GOP Senator

      Progressive Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) is being slammed online as “unhinged” for using violent rhetoric implying that Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, “has to be knocked over the head, like hard.”

      Cruz responded to the controversy simply by posting a meme to X. 

      In response to a question about how Democrats can win elections specifically in the red state of Texas, Crockett said, “I think that you punch, I think you punch, I think you OK with punching.”

      “It’s Ted Cruz,” she went on. “I mean, like this dude has to be knocked over the head, like hard, right? Like there is no niceties with him, like at all. Like you go clean off on him.”

      Responding to the clip, the White House’s “rapid response” X account, called Crockett “another unhinged Democrat inciting violence.”

      Crockett was recently warned by U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to “tread very carefully” after calling for Elon Musk to be “taken down.”

      Popular conservative account “Libs of TikTok” also chimed in, calling for Crockett to be investigated.

      “Rep Jasmine Crockett: I am totally against violence! Rep Jasmine Crockett on the same day: Knock Ted Cruz over the head and punch your opponents,” the account said, adding, “The Democratic Party is the party of violence and hypocrisy.”

      Cruz responded to Libs of TikTok’s post about Crockett claiming to be against violence with a meme that read: “You keep using that word… I do not think it means what you think it means.”  

      Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) commented: “Pro tip: don’t say things like this, whether you’re in Congress or not.”

      Crockett came under fire last week as well for saying during a “Tesla Takedown” online call that, “all I want to see happen on my birthday is for Elon to be taken down.”

      “I have learned, as I serve on the DOGE Oversight committee, that there is only one language that the people that are in charge understand right now, and that language is money,” she said.

      Crockett has said that her calls to action are “nonviolent” and are about figuratively “fighting” for democracy.

      Golf Legend Tiger Woods Confirms Relationship With Vanessa Trump

        Legendary golfer Tiger Woods has publicly acknowledged his relationship with Vanessa Trump, the former daughter-in-law of President Trump, by sharing two photos on Instagram along with a caption proclaiming, “Love is in the air.”

        “Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together. At this time we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts,” he wrote.

        Woods and Vanessa Trump, who was previously married to Donald Trump Jr., the president’s son, were spotted together at Torrey Pines in San Diego with her daughter, Kai.

        Ivanka Trump reacted to the official announcement.

        “So happy for you both!” Ivanka wrote.

        The New York Post noted that Ivanka had high praise for Vanessa when she was married to her brother. She described her as “Wonder Woman” in an interview with People magazine back in 2016, touting her as a superhero parental figure to her five children.

        “She can be taking care of them all simultaneously, each pulling on her and have direct meaningful connections with each of them at one time. It’s remarkable,” Ivanka said then.

        Vanessa and Don Jr. split in 2018. The Daily Mail reported earlier this month that Woods and Vanessa had been dating for at least a year.

        Steve Bannon Predicts Trump Will Win Third Term

          The next presidential election could feature a familiar name according to former White House adviser Steve Bannon.

          Bannon leaned into President Trump’s aspirations for a third term, suggesting Trump will run and win in 2028 while denying his own presidential ambitions.

          “I’m a firm believer that President Trump will run and win again in 2028, so I’ve already endorsed President Trump,” Bannon told NewsNation’s Chris Cuomo. “A man like this comes along once every century, if we’re lucky. We’ve got him now.”

          Trump has floated the idea of running for a third presidential term a number of times despite it being unconstitutional with the 22nd Amendment, which limits politicians to two presidential terms. 

          Asked about his own presidential ambitions, Bannon replied, “No, and I’m a firm believer that President Trump will run and win again in 2028, so I’ve already endorsed President Trump. A man like this comes along once every century if we’re a little lucky. We’ve got him now, he’s on fire, and I’m a huge supporter. I wanna see him again in 2028.”

          “You’re a smart guy. You know he’s term-limited,” replied Cuomo. “How do you think he gets another term?”

          Bannon answered, “We’re working on it. I think we’ll have a couple of alternatives, let’s say that. We’ll see what the definition of term limit is.”

          “So you’re talking about litigating this issue, because I don’t want people to listen to our interview and say, ‘Bannon’s cooking up an insurrection.’ You know what I mean?” asked Cuomo. “I want people to get a straight take on where your head is.”

          “Chris, as you know, I’ve had greater long shots than this,” declared Bannon, who previously floated the possibility of a third Trump term in December. “We’ve had greater long shots than Trump 2028 and we’ve got a lot of stuff we’re working on there. We’re not prepared to talk about it publicly, but in a couple months I think we will be.”

          Cuomo questioned, “But you are not suggesting revolution or overthrow or anything that people would condemn?”

          After Bannon dodged the question, Cuomo once again pressed, “I just want to make it clear for people so that they can’t paint you as, you know, suggesting revolution. Your analogy is to ’32 and how FDR extended it?”

          “We are, but I firmly believe in the revolution you’re seeing going on now, the revolution of common sense to deconstruct the administrative state,” concluded Bannon.

          Trump Responds After Iranian General Threatens To Retaliate

          An Iranian general vowed to respond “decisively and destructively” to any threats from President Trump.

          “We warn our enemies that Iran will respond decisively and destructively if they carry out their threats,” Gen. Hossein Salami, the leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, told state media following U.S. strikes over the weekend against the Tehran-backed terrorist group, according to Reuters. 

          “We are not a nation to live in hiding. We are a valid and legitimate system in the world. We announce it if we attack anywhere,” Salami was quoted as saying by ABC News. 

          U.S. Central Command said Saturday it had “initiated a series of operations consisting of precision strikes against Iran-backed Houthi targets across Yemen to defend American interests, deter enemies, and restore freedom of navigation.”  

          Trump wrote on Truth Social Saturday that he “ordered the United States Military to launch decisive and powerful Military action against the Houthi terrorists in Yemen.” 

          “It has been over a year since a U.S.-flagged commercial ship safely sailed through the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, or the Gulf of Aden,” Trump continued. “The last American Warship to go through the Red Sea, four months ago, was attacked by the Houthis over a dozen times.” 

          Trump wrote that the “relentless assaults have cost the U.S. and World Economy many BILLIONS of Dollars while, at the same time, putting innocent lives at risk.” 

          “To all Houthi terrorists, YOUR TIME IS UP, AND YOUR ATTACKS MUST STOP, STARTING TODAY. IF THEY DON’T, HELL WILL RAIN DOWN UPON YOU LIKE NOTHING YOU HAVE EVER SEEN BEFORE!” his post concluded. 

          The large-scale campaign against Houthi targets in Yemen will be “unrelenting” until the Iran-backed proxies pledge to back off U.S. assets, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told Fox News on Sunday. 

          Trump said in a post on his Truth Social account that any future attacks would be viewed as having come directly from Tehran:

          Let nobody be fooled! The hundreds of attacks being made by Houthi, the sinister mobsters and thugs based in Yemen, who are hated by the Yemeni people, all emanate from, and are created by, IRAN. Any further attack or retaliation by the “Houthis” will be met with great force, and there is no guarantee that that force will stop there. Iran has played “the innocent victim” of rogue terrorists from which they’ve lost control, but they haven’t lost control. They’re dictating every move, giving them the weapons, supplying them with money and highly sophisticated Military equipment, and even, so-called, “Intelligence.”

          Every shot fired by the Houthis will be looked upon, from this point forward, as being a shot fired from the weapons and leadership of IRAN, and IRAN will be held responsible, and suffer the consequences, and those consequences will be dire!

          DONALD J. TRUMP,
          PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

          According to the US Treasury Department, Iran launders funds to the Houthi rebels that the group uses to finance strikes against Israel and other US allies.

          Newsmax’s $40M Secret Settlement With Smartmatic Revealed In New Filing

          While the financial details of Newsmax’s settlement with Smartmatic Voting Systems remained hidden from public view, a new report reveals the eye-popping amount the network was forced to cough up.

          As Newsmax prepares to go public reports revealed the network paid Smartmatic $40 million and a stock warrant to end its legal battle against the conservative brand.

          The figure is buried in an investment prospectus released this week and discovered by The Independent‘s Justin Baragona.

          Mediaite reports:

          In the filing Newsmax, disclosed that it agreed to pay Smartmatic $40 million in cash — along with a five-year warrant allowing the tech firm to purchase 2,000 shares of the network’s preferred stock. Newsmax was accused of defaming Smartmatic by broadcasting false claims that the voting machine company played a role in rigging the 2020 presidential election in favor of Joe Biden over Donald Trump.

          The revelation comes as Newsmax faces another massive legal battle with Dominion Voting Systems, which is set to go to trial in April.

          Newsmax acknowledged the potential fallout in its filing, warning investors that “an unfavorable outcome in the matter could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.”

          For Newsmax, the settlement appears to represent a significant financial strain. The network pulled in $135 million in revenue in 2023, but its net losses hit $55 million in the first half of 2024. The company has also disclosed a separate, undisclosed settlement over a breach of contract dispute, with $34.6 million still left to pay.

          White House Revokes CDC Director Nomination

            The White House is pulling the nomination of Dave Weldon for Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) director.

            The decision comes the same day Weldon was scheduled to have his confirmation hearing.

            Fox News reports:

            The Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee announced that it had canceled its hearing in a statement on Thursday morning. However, it confirmed that lawmakers would still vote on the nominations of Dr. Jay Bhattacharya for National Institutes of Health (NIH) director and Dr. Marty Makary for Commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

            “It became clear that the votes weren’t there in the Senate for him to get confirmed. This would have been a futile effort,” a source familiar with the nomination told Fox News Digital.

            Weldon, a medical doctor and former Florida congressman, has made statements against vaccines in the past, which were expected to be brought up during his hearing. In a 2007 statement, Weldon said there were “legitimate questions” about potential links between vaccines and childhood neurodevelopmental disorders, such as autism.

            House Dem Threatens To Censure Boebert Over Al Green Interview

              A House Democrat is seeking to censure a MAGA Republican…

              Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (D-Pa.) wants to censure Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) over a TV interview in which the Republican congresswoman criticized Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) over his display during President Trump’s congressional address.

              Green notably heckled President Donald Trump multiple times during his first address of his second term to Congress last week until House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) ordered the Sergeant at Arms to escort Green from the chamber. 

              On Monday, Rep. Houlahan submitted a resolution calling to censure Boebert “for her recent disparaging and derogatory comments” about Green. 

              During a March 7 interview with Real America’s Voice News, Boebert said, “Al Green was given multiple opportunities to stand down, to sit down, to behave, to show decorum.” 

              “For him to go and shake his pimp cane at President Trump was absolutely abhorrent,” Boebert added. 

              The resolution said those words uttered by Boebert “are disparaging, derogatory, and racist toward another colleague, and are a breach of proper conduct and decorum of the U.S. House of Representatives.” 

              It calls for Boebert to be censured, “forthwith present herself in the well of the House of Representatives for the pronouncement of censure,” and that Boebert “be censured with the public reading of this resolution by the Speaker.” 

              In a statement, Houlahan said, “After my discussion on the House floor last week when Speaker Johnson told me he’d have to censure half the members if he actually enforced the rules of the Congress, I decided to help, and tonight introduced a resolution to censure Representative Boebert for her racist and derogatory statements about Representative Al Green.” 

              The lower chamber of Congress voted to censure Green the next day, and Johnson condemned how the Democrat “chose to deliberately violate House rules in a manner that we think is probably unprecedented in history.”

              President Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky apologized to Trump in a letter.

              “Zelensky sent a letter to the president. He apologized for that whole incident that happened in the Oval Office,” Witkoff said Monday on Fox News. “I think that it was an important step and there’s been a lot of discussion between our teams and the Ukrainians and the Europeans who are relevant to this discussion as well.”

              U.S. and Ukrainian officials are set to meet in Saudi Arabia this week to pick back up on peace negotiations to end the war with Russia.

              Witkoff said he thought Zelensky sending Trump a letter to apologize for the fiery meeting was “progress.”

              Witkoff said it’s important for the officials to discuss security protocols for Ukrainians, territorial issues and a utility plan.

              “These are not complicated things, they just … need to be put on the table and everybody needs to be transparent about what their expectations are, then we can begin to have a discussion about how we compromise,” he said.

              House Republican Nominates Trump For Nobel Peace Prize

                On Monday, California Congressman Darrell Issa (R) announced he’s nominating President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.

                “Today I will nominate @realDonaldTrump for the Nobel Peace Prize. No one deserves it more,” Issa declared in the tweet.

                Fox News Digital reached out to Issa’s office on Tuesday to request a comment from the congressman regarding why he decided to nominate the president for the award.

                “Not since Ronald Reagan has an American president better represented the national resolve of peace through strength or the fundamental case for a world without war,” Issa said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

                “Remarkably, it was the 2024 election of Donald Trump – more than 10 weeks before his swearing in – that tangibly kickstarted the cause of peace in numerous regions of the world, and we are already seeing the benefits. I hope the Committee takes note of these extraordinary times and recognizes that President Trump ideally represents what the Nobel Peace Prize should stand for,” the lawmaker added.

                President Barack Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2009, less than a year into his first term in office.

                Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-N.Y.) nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize last year.

                “Donald Trump was instrumental in facilitating the first new peace agreements in the Middle East in almost 30 years,” the congresswoman said, according to a January 2024 press release.
