“You have done more for this nation in the seafood space than any president before you in my lifetime.”

American fishermen came to the Oval Office to thank President Trump for cutting Biden-era regulations they say were crushing their industry — and even made him an honorary crew member: "You're one of us now."

"We support you 100%."

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka just claimed Delaney Hall detention facility should be shut down because there is "actual, uh, irrefutable evidence' that the place is uninhabitable."

Reality: DHS has directly rejected this as political theater. Detainees receive 3 meals daily including fajitas, stir-fry, and BBQ chicken. They also get full medical/dental/mental health care, clean bedding, recreation access, and phones for lawyers/family. No verified hunger strike exists.

Their care and quality of food is higher than many had before they were detained.

The entire thing is a staged op.

JOHN CLAUSER, 2022 PHYSICS NOBEL PRIZE WINNER:

"I can very confidently assert, there is no climate emergency.
As much as it may upset many people, my message is the planet is NOT in peril.

Atmospheric CO2 and methane have negligible effect on the climate.
The policies government have been implementing are totally unnecessary and should be eliminated.
So far, [we] have totally misidentified what is the dominant process in controlling the climate, and all of the various models are based on incomplete and incorrect physics.
The dominant process, is “the cloud-sunlight-reflexivity thermostat mechanism.
Clouds are all bright white, and they reflected 90% of the sunlight back into space making them the most crucial yet most overlooked aspect of the climate system.
Two-thirds of the Earth are ocean. The Pacific Ocean alone is half the Earth. The average cloud cover for the Earth is 67%; about 50% over land and 75% over oceans.
I claim that the above conspicuous properties of clouds are the missing part of the puzzle."

🚨 JUST IN: CENTCOM Commander Admiral Brad Cooper reveals the US military has officially obliterated the LAST of the four Soleimani class warships — "That's an entire class of Iranian ships now out of the fight!"

"We had strike waves nearly EVERY HOUR from different locations and directions going into Iran!"

"I'd characterize our strikes as being unpredictable, dynamic, and decisive."

"Since the first 24 hours of this campaign, Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks have dropped drastically, but it's worth pointing out that Iranian forces continue to deliberately target innocent civilians in Gulf countries while hiding behind their own people as they launch attacks from highly populated cities in Iran."

"Our space superiority has been a critical enabler to this fight. Unseen by the world, the Space Force is doing two things. First, they're degrading Iranian capability, and second, they're helping to protect American forces."

🚨 Gov. Hochul tries to own Trump on Knicks fandom… and flops hard:

“I’d ask him to name the starting lineup of the 1993 Championship team”

Knicks last won a title in 1973. There was no 1993 championship.

Trump’s been a lifelong Knicks fan. Hochul is a fraud.

NEW: Sec. Rubio gives an update on the "three phase" process playing out in Venezuela:

"Over 10 million barrels of Venezuelan oil have been delivered to the United States since the 3rd of January. That industry is being professionalized for the first time ever. It's going to the benefit of the Venezuelan people."

"They are selling oil in the market at market rates. The money is going to an account in the United States, controlled and monitored by Treasury, audited by KPMG. And it's, for the first time ever, the money is not being stolen. It's going to the benefit of the Venezuelan people."

🚨 BREAKING: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis just announced the effective ABOLISHMENT of most homeowner property taxes across the state, which will require a vote on the ballot this November

LET'S GO!! ☀️

The amendment would also BLOCK local governments from wasting that portion of tax revenue, making sure it ONLY goes to services like police, fire, school, etc.

The plan PRIORITIZES young people and those with low-to-medium value homes, giving immediate zero taxes to 60% of Florida primary homeowners, later rising to 90% or more

DESANTIS CONVENING THE LEGISLATURE:

"Begin with an initial raising of the homestead limit to $250,000 for all Florida homesteaders."

$250K limit = the first $250,000 value of a home is $0 TAXED

Then the plan is to raise it to $500,000, which gives over 90% of Florida homeowners $0 IN TAXES 🔥

"A $250,000 limit, that eliminates property tax for 60% of Florida homeowners. Once you put a schedule in, and this would be something that we'd work with the legislature on after the vote is taken in November, if it's successful, when you raise to $500,000 limit, that's 92% of all Florida residents would be tax-free."

"I'd rather focus on folks who are new homeowners, young people, seniors on fixed income, you know, are middle-class folks, and so this will be really significant."

𝐂𝐑𝐀𝐈𝐆 𝐅𝐄𝐑𝐆𝐔𝐒𝐎𝐍 𝐒𝐇𝐔𝐓 𝐃𝐎𝐖𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐖’𝐒 𝐓𝐑𝐔𝐌𝐏 𝐁𝐀𝐈𝐓: “𝐈’𝐌 𝐒𝐈𝐂𝐊 𝐎𝐅 𝐏𝐄𝐎𝐏𝐋𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐈 𝐀𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐄 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇”

The hosts of The View tried the move they always try: drag the funny guest into bashing Donald Trump. They asked Craig Ferguson whether his new tour, “𝘗𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘯 𝘍𝘪𝘳𝘦”, was loaded with Trump material.

He 𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐧'𝐭 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐢𝐭 for a second: “𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦’𝘴 𝘯𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘪𝘯 𝘪𝘵. 𝘐𝘵’𝘴 𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨. 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘬 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘴 𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘭.”

Then he explained why, and it was sharper than anything the panel managed all show: “𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘸𝘩𝘺 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯’𝘵 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘬... 𝘐’𝘮 𝘴𝘪𝘤𝘬 𝘰𝘧 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘐 𝘢𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩.”

And the line that should embarrass every cable-news scold: “𝘐’𝘭𝘭 𝘨𝘰 𝘰𝘯 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘨𝘦, 𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢 𝘣𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘩 𝘰𝘧 𝘫𝘰𝘬𝘦𝘴, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘪𝘵, 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘶𝘧𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶’𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘳𝘺 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦. 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬. 𝘐’𝘮 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘵 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘺𝘰𝘶.”

Here's the context that makes it sting. Ferguson hosted CBS's Late Late Show for a decade. CBS just 𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐭 𝐞𝐫𝐚 and handed its 11:35 slot to a syndication package — no host, no desk, no charm.

Dr. Frank Mayfield was visiting the Tewksbury Institute when, on his way out, he accidentally bumped into an elderly cleaning lady. To make conversation, he asked, “How long have you worked here?”

“I’ve worked here almost since it opened,” she said.

“What can you tell me about the history of this place?” he asked.

“I don’t know much,” she said, “but I can show you something.”

She led him down to the basement under the oldest part of the building and pointed to a small, rusted cell. “That’s where they used to keep Annie Sullivan,” she said.

“Who’s Annie?” he asked.

The maid explained that Annie was a young girl who had been brought there because no one could control her. She screamed, bit, and threw her food. The doctors and nurses couldn’t even examine her.

“I was just a few years younger than Annie,” the maid said. “I used to think, ‘I’d never want to be locked in a cage like that.’ I wanted to help her, but if the doctors couldn’t, what could I do?”

“One night I baked some brownies after work. The next day, I put them outside her cage and said, ‘Annie, I made these for you. You can take them if you want.’ Then I walked away, afraid she’d throw them. But she didn’t. She took the brownies and ate them. After that, she was a little kinder to me. I started talking to her, and one day, I even made her laugh.”

“One of the nurses saw this and told the doctor. They asked if I’d help them with Annie. So whenever they needed to see her, I went in first to calm her, explain things, and hold her hand. That’s when they discovered Annie was almost blind.”

After a year of slow progress, Annie was sent to the Perkins Institute for the Blind, where she learned to read, write, and later became a teacher herself.

Years later, Annie came back to Tewksbury to visit and help. The Director told her about a letter he had just received from a desperate father. His daughter was blind, deaf, and thought to be “crazy.” He didn’t want to send her to an asylum and asked if anyone could come teach her.

That’s how Annie Sullivan became the lifelong teacher and companion of Helen Keller.

When Helen Keller later received the Nobel Prize, she was asked who had most influenced her life. She said, “Annie Sullivan.”

But Annie replied, “No, Helen. The woman who changed both our lives was a maid at Tewksbury who once brought a little girl some brownies.”
