FROM NATIONAL CENTER-RIGHT SOURCES

WASHINGTON TIMES
— The Associated Press exposes its hate for Trump … again
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/feb/12/associated-press-exposes-hate-trump/
— U.S. government employees overwhelmingly back Democrats. In politics, nothing indicates loyalty more than where people put their money. (COMMENT: While I was a federal employee for almost 30 years, virtually all my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were Democrats.)
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2025/feb/11/u-government-employees-overwhelmingly-back-democra/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The federal workforce has become an integral part of the Democratic Party power structure, rivaling the liberal mainstream media, billionaire donors and the activist nonprofits they fund as its most important political ally. This is why Democrats are proclaiming a guerrilla street revolution. They want to stop President Trump and point man Elon Musk from downsizing their army and from surgically removing liberal agenda offices, agencies and leaders — a force it took Democrats years to put into place. Mr. Musk immediately targeted the U.S. Agency for International Development and its exporting of woke ideologies. Federal election records show that USAID personnel contributed $240,000 to the Kamala Harris campaign in the 2024 election cycle and just $999 to Mr. Trump. Of USAID’s top 20 funded candidates, just one was a Republican. President Biden used executive orders to open the southern border to drug cartel-smuggled migrants, to rewrite Title IX for men in women’s sports and to repay students’ delinquent loans without congressional approval. Democrats cheered. They warn Mr. Trump not to downsize the U.S. government, as our national debt reaches $36 trillion, or we’ll impeach him again. OpenSecrets.org, which tracks campaign donations, shows that government workers bankroll Democrats in large ratios. In politics, nothing indicates loyalty more than where people put their money. Employees in the government’s 15 Cabinet-level departments, such as Defense, State and Justice, contributed over $9 million to candidate Harris compared with $1.6 million to Mr. Trump. Looking at federal employees collectively would put them in the top 12 of Harris donors. “One of the reasons the left gravitates to the bureaucracies is because they know it allows them to exercise unaccountable power,” Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, told me. His group has uncovered government misconduct by aggressively pursuing Freedom of Information Act lawsuits. Mr. Fitton added, “History shows effective conservative government reformers will be targeted, isolated, harassed, smeared and destroyed. And public employee unions necessarily have an interest in bigger government, which means they are allied with and support leftist and Democratic Party politicians.” For example, when IRS whistleblowers came forward to testify about Mr. Biden’s family corruption, agency higher-ups smashed them. Special Agents Joe Ziegler and Gary Shapley testified to the House Ways and Means Committee in 2023 that the Justice Department blocked their probe of Hunter Biden into income tax fraud. In December, the Office of Special Counsel, an independent agency that protects against whistleblower reprisals, concluded that the two were the victims of illegal gag orders and workplace retaliations by top IRS officials. IRS employees donated $644,000 to Democrats and $135,000 to Republicans in the 2024 election cycle.)

CNN
— Government watchdogs fired by Trump sue to get their jobs back
https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/12/politics/inspector-general-lawsuit-fired-trump
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Eight inspectors general whom Donald Trump fired from their federal agency watchdog posts are suing for their jobs back, adding to the legal scrutiny over Trump’s first weeks of decisions in the White House and raising questions about his political intentions. They say that Trump shouldn’t have been able to fire them in late January without first notifying Congress and that the White House ignored regulations around their removal that existed to protect them from political interference and retribution. The administration’s “actions have inflicted substantial damage on the critical oversight ethos of transparency, truth-telling without fear or favor, and respect for the rule of law,” the lawsuit, filed in Washington, DC’s federal court on Wednesday, states. The lawsuit is the latest among more than four dozen filed in federal courts to challenge swift, early executive actions by the Trump administration. Many of the lawsuits, like Wednesday’s, allege that Trump’s White House is depriving Congress of some of its power. The IG’s case adds to a pile of challenges from government workers the Trump administration has removed from various posts — especially those in independent or non-political roles. The dismissals also raise questions over Trump and temporary government adviser Elon Musk’s adversarial approach to existing, long-established federal corruption watchdogs, at a time Trump and Musk are dismantling parts of the government, citing in part a desire to root out corruption. Trump’s dismissal of 18 IGs happened in the first week of his second term, when the watchdogs each received two-sentence emails titled “White House Notification” from the Office of Presidential Personnel. The reason they were given was “changing priorities,” which is not a sufficient reason under the law, their lawsuit claims. Soon after, the IG’s government email access was shut off, and they couldn’t return to their office buildings. “Their purported removals were legal nullities, and so they remain the duly appointed IGs of their respective agencies, unless and until the President lawfully removes them in compliance,” attorneys for the eight IGs wrote. “Plaintiffs’ integrity has been baselessly maligned publicly, with the abrupt and unlawful nature of their purported removals incorrectly implying that plaintiffs have done something wrong when in fact they have each done nothing but uphold the values of their positions and the IG community,” the suit adds. The IGs allege Trump has told Congress – as is required by law – nothing. The lawsuit instead points out the president commented to the press some IGs “were not doing their job.” Trump fired a 19th inspector general, the USAID’s watchdog, this week. The inspectors general, in positions across many government agencies, work to find and prevent waste, fraud and abuse within federal departments. The IGs say their work is non-partisan and ultimately saves taxpayers billions of dollars, protects vulnerable Americans’ rights and safeguards national security, according to the complaint. Those whom Trump fired include IGs at crucial departments including Defense, Health and Human Services, State and Veterans Affairs who say their work has saved the agencies millions of dollars. One of the IGs who is suing, Phyllis Fong, had been in her position at the Department of Agriculture for more than 20 years. After Fong was told she was fired, she continued to go to work, “recognizing that her termination was not effective because it failed to comply with the IG Act’s requirements,” her attorneys wrote, until her federal badge was deactivated and her computer and phone were taken back by the Department of Agriculture. Several of those who are suing had worked under Trump during his first term in the presidency, and one, Hannibal “Mike” Ware of the Small Business Administration, had been Trump’s nominee for the post in 2018. The other IGs who are suing are: Robert Storch of the Defense Department; Michael Missal of Veterans Affairs; Christi Grimm of Health and Human Services; Cardell Richardson of the State Department; Sandra Bruce of the Education Department; and Larry Turner of the Department of Labor.)

— Hundreds of people braved single-digit temperatures to gather in downtown Chicago in opposition to President Donald Trump and his agenda as the 47th president was sworn into office Monday.
https://www.chicagotribune.com/2025/01/20/hundreds-brave-frigid-temperatures-during-march-in-chicago-on-inauguration-day/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Championing a variety of causes including immigrant rights, support for Palestinians and protections for women’s reproductive and LGBTQIA rights, they gathered in Federal Plaza in the Loop to rally, then set off to march to Trump Tower across the river. Demonstrators carried posters reading “Free Palestine Now!,” “Stop the Trump Agenda,” “Immigrant rights and legalization for all” and calling for an end to “police crimes.” They chanted “Donald Trump you racist clown, the people will take you down,” and “No hate, no fear, immigrants are welcome here.” The rally was supported by a broad coalition of dozens of organizations, ranging from the National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression to the Chicago Teachers Union, the U.S. Palestinian Community Network and the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights. Amid news reports that Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids would start Tuesday in Chicago, which Trump’s border czar appeared to walk back after the reports, representatives of the groups said they were united to defend their causes in the face of Trump’s “commitment to ramp up repression.”)

Some companies discriminated against Black applicants much more than others, and H.R. practices made a big difference. – Claire Cain Miller and Josh Katz (COMMENT: I am 100% German national origin, “Diersen” sounds Swedish. What do you say to those who have advised me to pretend to be Swedish national origin? I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes who stress that I am 100% German national origin. I would focus on those who also stress that I was baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran. Further, what is your national origin? How are those who share your national origin stereotyped? What they blamed for? I am 100% German national origin. I should write about that. In my defense, a) all my ancestors immigrated during the 1840s and 1850s, that is, before Germany existed, b) they have always lived in northeast Illinois, c) my grandfather on my father’s side fought the Germans in WWI, d) my uncles on my mother’s side fought the Germans in WWII, and e) my father would have fought the Germans in WWII if he had not been 4-F. Further, according to Ancestry at http://dna.ancestry.com , my ancestry is 33% Europe West, 28% Scandinavia, 24% Great Britain, 11% Ireland, 2% Europe East, 1% Finland/Northwest Russia, and 1% Italy/Greece.)

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/fairness-justice/student-with-1590-sat-score-rejected-by-16-colleges
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Zhong’s story has begun to gather some media attention, which was the subject of discussion at a recent House Committee on Education and the Workforce hearing. Yet almost all of the stories failed to mention the likely reason Zhong was rejected: He’s Asian. For years, colleges have been quietly discriminating against Asians in the admission process, admitting white, black, and Latino students with lower SAT scores and lower GPAs in the name of inclusivity. The problem for Asians is that, as a group, they tend to score really well. This means there’s an abundance of highly qualified Asians applying to universities each year. This would not be a problem for Asian students if not for race-conscious universities, which, in recent years, have demonstrated a preference for social equity and racial balance over merit. As a result, untold numbers of Asians have found themselves excluded from universities simply because of their race.)

— IN WHAT SENSE ARE ILLEGALS ILLEGAL? – JOHN HINDERAKER (COMMENT: Of course, illegals do/will use their false identifications to vote for Democrats. Soon, if not already, Democrats and RINOs will have brought in enough illegals that no Republican will ever be elected again.)
https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2023/10/in-what-sense-are-illegals-illegal.php
(FROM THE ARTICLE: So there isn’t much left of the illegality that comes with sneaking across the southern border. The Biden administration, with help from blue states, has effectively rewritten–or, more accurately, repealed–the nation’s immigration laws. They had no legal power to do this. Congress never voted to abolish our immigration laws, nor would it. The acceptance of illegal immigration is opposed by an overwhelming majority of Americans, but we never had a chance to vote on it. This is perhaps the clearest indication of the fact that the cabal that controls America has zero regard for democracy, for democratic processes, or for the views of most Americans.)

TOWNHALL
— Seven New States – Jim Ross Lightfoot (COMMENT: How many illegals are in America, in Illinois, in your county, in your township, in your municipality, and in your school district? How soon, if not already, will they have enough voting power to get rid of Republicans once and for all?)
https://townhall.com/columnists/jimrosslightfoot/2023/10/17/seven-new-states-n2629934
(FROM THE ARTICLE: According to the United States Census Bureau, the most significant number floating around is 6,777,807. That represents the number of illegals who have entered our country since 2020. They came from around the world and flowed across our Texas – Mexico border. With them came pounds and pounds of drugs, millions of fentanyl pills, and we do not know how many Cartel members, murderers, child sex offenders, and others with criminal intent on their minds. As well, our Canadian border has been hemorrhaging. We do not see much about it on the news for some reason. 6,770,807. It is a huge number that is difficult for most of us to comprehend. Let us strive to put the 6.7 million amount into comparative numbers with something easy to understand. First, do a little research and find out the population of some of our smallest states. Those with populations under 1 million people are Wyoming, Vermont, the District of Columbia, Alaska, North Dakota, and South Dakota. Wyoming has the smallest population of 576,837, and Delaware is the largest among those with under 1 million people, with 989,957.)

https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-attacks-desantis-after-gov-slammed-soros-funded-d-a-cited-hush-money-minors-or-a-man-might-accuse-desantis
(FROM THE ARTICLE: “Ron DeSanctimonious will probably find out about FALSE ACCUSATIONS & FAKE STORIES sometime in the future, as he gets older, wiser, and better known, when he’s unfairly and illegally attacked by a woman, even classmates that are ‘underage’ (or possibly a man!),” Trump wrote on social media. “I’m sure he will want to fight these misfits just like I do!” Trump included a screenshot from a leftist organization that wrote a hit piece on DeSantis which Trump previously used to promote baseless claims that DeSantis had groomed underage girls with alcohol. DeSantis responded by saying he faces “defamatory stuff every single day” and that he chooses to spend his time “delivering results for the people of Florida and fighting against Joe Biden,” not “trying to smear other Republicans.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Des Plaines Councilwoman Alderman Carla Brookman slammed censor-happy leftists and hecklers during a recent city council meeting, proclaiming, “If you don’t allow discussion, that is a real problem in our society.” Woke residents of Des Plaines, Illinois, were outraged to discover that Awake Illinois, a conservative organization partnering with Moms for Liberty and Gays Against Groomers, was coming to speak at a city-owned theater, according to a report by PJ Media. The offended woke residents then called on the city to shut down the event, claiming it was being run by a “hate group.” “I looked at the online invitation and the lineup of speakers at this event, and it’s a very diverse guest panel, and they’re defending children and speaking of reforming education,” Councilwoman Brookman said during a January 17 city council meeting.)
