The Masochistic Democrats Hate You — And Beg You to Hate Them Back
Scott McKay, The American Spectator
Sanity would dictate that a political party that seeks to win elections would be going about mitigating this impasse. Is that happening? To the contrary. It’s getting worse. Almost to the point of open warfare between the Democrat Party and ordinary America — or, if your reaction is that this war has been going on for a while, warfare on a scale and with a level of transparency we’ve not seen before. So be it. If suffering is what they want, then the folks we’ve elected to run the government ought to give it to them good and hard.

Trump: I Was Elected To Get The Criminals and Murderers Out Of This Country, It Was The Number One Factor
Ian Schwartz, Real Clear Politics
President Donald Trump: "...We're doing a fantastic job of getting criminals out of this country who Biden allowed into the country. Hundreds of thousands of criminals, murderers and drug dealers. And I was elected because of the fact, I would say maybe that was the number one factor, a lot of reasons, the economy, a lot of things. But one of the primary reasons I was elected is because I said, I'm going to get the criminals that he allowed to come into our country so stupidly through open borders. I'm going to get them out."

‘You’re Fools’: Trump Backs Rubio on Prospect of Walking Away from Ukraine Talks
Just the News (Ben Whedon), The Star News Network
President Donald Trump confirmed that the U.S. was prepared to walk away from efforts to end the Ukraine war if either side proved intransigent. “If for some reason one of the two parties makes it very difficult, we’re just going to say ’you are foolish, you’re fools, you’re horrible people’ and we’re going to just take a pass,” Trump told reporters. “And Marco’s right in saying it.” Trump’s remarks follow Secretary of State Marco Rubio saying that the U.S. was prepared to “move on” if negotiations could not end the war.

For Democrats, how to frame the Abrego Garcia case?
Byron York, Washington Examiner
Abrego Garcia entered the country illegally. Van Hollen did his best to convince all Americans that Abrego Garcia’s fate could befall them, too, in the Age of Trump. Over and over, Van Hollen called the case an “illegal abduction.” “This case is not just about one man,” he said, catching up to his party’s talking points. “It’s about protecting the constitutional rights of everybody who resides in the United States of America. … This case is about upholding constitutional rights for Kilmar Abrego Garcia and every American.”

Will Harvard Go Full Hillsdale?
Victor Davis Hanson, American Greatness
Harvard has no problem with an activist federal government, as long as it is a liberal one forcing all sorts of Title IX or DEI initiatives on private and Christian colleges that apparently lost their autonomy by accepting federal money. It has said nothing when state and federal governments in the past gratuitously hounded Hillsdale. So, Harvard loudly can set itself free by permanently pursuing its agenda on its own $50 billion, in the same manner Hillsdale does quietly with its $1 billion—without the taxpayer’s dime.

Democrats Will Always Side Against Normal People – Always
Kurt Schlichter, Townhall
You need to understand that they hate you. There’s no compromise possible with these people. They must be defeated comprehensively and in detail, and the only way we’re going do that is with the kind of cold ruthlessness that serious men demonstrate when they’re serious about crushing their enemies. It’s no time for wavering. It’s no time for whining. It’s no time for appealing to norms that don’t exist as an excuse to avoid doing the hard work of winning. Get that through your head. Understand that. Accept that. Act accordingly.
 

Trump Admin Plans Overhaul of Endangered Species Act
Philip Wegmann, Real Clear Politics
The Trump administration intends to overhaul the Endangered Species Act by changing what it means to harm an endangered or threatened species as part of the larger White House campaign to spur economic growth through deregulation. The president has long loathed red tape of the green variety, and one White House official predicted that overhauling the act “will have a seismic, real-world effect on the ability to build.” “Environmental is the biggest tool for stopping growth,” Trump said during an interview with Joe Rogan last October.
