Trump Signs EO to Help Foster Children Transitioning out of System as Part of Melania Trump’s ‘Be Best’ Initiative:

This is at least the second time the president has invited the First Lady to sign a document with him. While her signature does not influence the order’s enactment, it underscores her role in its conception. In May, they both signed the Take It Down Act, which makes it a federal crime to post a real or an artificially generated sexual image of a person without his or her consent.

The Fostering the Future for American Children and Families executive order promotes public-private sector partnerships to help foster children with the transition to adulthood. As part of the Fostering the Future program, the federal government will launch an online platform where those who have lived in or are in the foster system can develop plans tailored to their needs to help them attain self-sufficiency and prosperity in adulthood, the first lady’s office notes.

“The Bible tells us that one of the measures of any society is how it cares for vulnerable children and orphans,” Trump said.

"So as we make America great again, we are going to protect American children in foster care, and we’re going to ensure that they will never, ever be forgotten. … They’re going to grow up to be unbelievable, strong, smart, wealthy, productive citizens,” he added.

Under the order foster children will gain increased access to federal grants and education and training vouchers. It also broadens “educational opportunities by facilitating state use of scholarship programs funded by tax-credited donations to scholarship-granting organizations for children in foster care,” the First Lady’s office notes.

Fetterman: Far Left Cheered for Me to Have a Stroke:

Wednesday, during an appearance on CNN’s “Inside Politics,” Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) discussed his recently released memoir “Unfettered,” in which he detailed attacks he faced from far-left partisans on social media.

Fetterman cited the harshest attacks, including on left-wing social media platform Blue Sky, where some called on him to have another stroke.

...you write about that in your book. You said, ‘I’ve drunk deeply of the venom of both the left and the right. As a connoisseur, I can confirm that the most poisonous, the bitterest is from the far left.’ That is pretty remarkable to hear you say that as an elected Democrat, why?”

...the difference is, I mean, the right would say really rough things and names, some names I won’t repeat on TV, but on the left, it was like, they want me to die or that were cheering for your next stroke, or that’s terrible that depression... why couldn’t the depression have won and I hope your kids find you — I mean, they even have like the graphic gift there. They have like a stroke in your head.”

Did Trump take down Epstein? This email changes EVERYTHING:

Democrats thought they had the smoking gun to incriminate Donald Trump, but the email release might have vindicated Trump and confirmed what Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) once let slip — that Trump was an FBI informant sent to lock up Jeffrey Epstein.

In one of the Epstein emails, he writes, “I want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is Trump. Virginia spent hours at my house with him. He has never once been mentioned. Police chief, etc. I’m 75% there.”

“This continues to point toward the fact that President Trump may have been an FBI informant who actually turned Epstein in, because ... a few months ago when we were talking about all of the Epstein files, Mike Johnson seemed to accidentally slip,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales explains.

“He said it so casually, and he very clearly said, ‘He was an FBI informant,’ and then had to walk it back,” she continues. “But you can’t put the genie back in the bottle. This was a very big revelation from Speaker of the House Mike Johnson.”

[Video, but a lot of commercials.  Just watch the beginning where they talk about what "the dog who hasn't barked" means--basically a movie reference that if a dog doesn't bark, it's because the dog knows the person coming in the house, and the "75% there"-- Epstein was 75% sure that Trump was the one who turned him in.]

Democrats’ ‘Principled Stand’ on the Shutdown Is an Attempt to Pay Back Their Health Insurance Donors:

The following content is sponsored by American Resolve.

Ever since the disaster of Obamacare was unleashed on the American public, our healthcare system has only gotten worse – except for the insurance companies, who bathed in massive profits thanks to their pal Obama. Some health insurance stocks are up 1,000 percent in the last 15 years...

This puts in the last piece of the puzzle as to why the Democrats dug in their heels so much on the longest shutdown in American history. The Democrats’ insistence on extending Obamacare subsidies is not some principled stand on behalf of any huddled masses yearning to breathe free: this is obstructionism to feed their donors’ profits.

The “follow the money” on this one is pretty straightforward. In the 2024 campaign, insurers gave five times more money to Kamala Harris than to Donald Trump. In the 2018 cycle, the industry gave 30 times as much to federal Democrat candidates as Republicans: $63 million to just $2.2 million.

This is the Democrats’ new playbook: pretend to champion the oppressed while cashing checks from the oppressors. Congressional Democrats were repaying their corporate donors by shutting down the government to keep $400 billion of taxpayer money flowing to insurance companies in Obamacare subsidies. Then of course that money comes back into Democrats’ coffers and the awful cycle keeps going.

What may surprise you is that these enhanced subsidies were not part of the original legislation. Rather, these billions were sold as temporary COVID enhanced subsidies, and now Democrats and their insurance company overlords are trying to make them permanent.  According to the nonpartisan Paragon Health Institute, the COVID enhanced subsidies make all the underlying problems with the original subsidies even worse.

While this “principled stand” may help Democrats squeeze more money from insurance companies, it has not helped their popularity. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer broke the record for most unpopular national figure in the last 40 years of polling.

Staten Island Renews Push to Secede From New York City Due to Zohran Mamdani Mayoral Win:

Staten Island is renewing its push to secede from the city of New York and be its own city following the mayoral victory of Democratic Socialist (communist) Zohran Mamdani.

Unlike Manhattan and to a lesser extent Brooklyn, Staten Island is home to a much more traditional, slightly more conservative, blue-collar, working community. Most of the people who live there have no interest in the fantasy of free stuff that Mamdani is promising.

Of course, this is unlikely to happen. New York City won’t want to let go of Staten Island because they want all of the tax revenue they can squeeze out of the people who live there.
