The White House has now responded to the scandal, and did not hold back. Winooski has been flooded with Somalis since 2003, as part of a U.S. government resettlement program, which dumps the migrants into small communities without any attempts at assimilation and fundamentally reshapes their communities. During the flag raising, the school district held an event and served catered Somali food. Superintendent Wilmer Chavarria, who decided to fly the foreign flag, framed the gesture as a celebration of “diversity” and “civil rights.” White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson had strong words in response to the flag scandal. “Aliens who come to our country, complain about how much they hate America, fail to contribute to our economy, and refuse to assimilate into our society should not be here,” Jackson told PBS. “And American schools should fly American flags.” https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/12/white-house-slams-vermont-schools-somali-flag-hoist/ President Donald Trump tore into Senate obstruction of Republican judicial and U.S. attorney nominees, denouncing the “Blue Slip” tradition as an unconstitutional roadblock that has effectively handed the confirmation process to Democrats in key states. The blue slip practice currently functions as an informal veto power for home-state senators. The current Senate Judiciary Committee policy requires positive blue slips from both home-state senators for a nominee to receive a committee hearing and a potential vote. The blue slip policy is a tradition and a matter of the Senate Judiciary Committee chairman’s policy, not a formal Senate rule. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), has committed to honoring the blue slip tradition for district court nominees and U.S. attorneys. “Blue Slips are making it impossible to get great Republican Judges and U.S. Attorneys approved to serve in any state where there is even a single Democrat Senator,” Trump declared. “If they say no, then it is OVER for that very well qualified Republican candidate. Only a really far left Democrat can be approved.” According to Trump, the situation has reached a “shocking” level of partisan unfairness. “It is shocking that Republicans, under Senator Chuck G, allow this scam to continue,” Trump wrote. “So unfair to Republicans, and not Constitutional.” Republicans voted to terminate a temporary free-money program and the democrats are angry. The Senate voted down a Democratic bill to extend the temporary Affordable Care Act subsidies, which ensures the subsidies will lapse at the end of the year. The enhanced ACA subsidies were originally created as temporary pandemic relief through the American Rescue Plan Act in 2021 and extended through 2025 by the Inflation Reduction Act. They were designed as emergency measures, not permanent changes to subsidy rules. Republicans also object that the subsidies benefit insurance companies directly, since ACA law allows insurers to keep 20 percent of payments as overhead and profit. Senate Majority Leader John Thune emphasized that the GOP alternative would have provided funds directly to patients. Thune further criticized Democrats for proposing a three-year extension without addressing rising system costs. When a subsidy expires, out-of-pocket costs naturally rise. Since the United States is not a socialist country, it is normal for people to pay for their own insurance and to pay the full price rather than rely on government subsidies. These subsidies, whether they should ever have existed or not, were temporary measures, and with COVID long over, there is no reason to continue them. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/12/obamacare-subsidies-blocked-this-is-what-we-voted/ In a stunning escalation following months of revelations and pressure generated by RAIR Foundation USA’s investigative reporting, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has formally designated both the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as foreign terrorist organizations under state authority — an unprecedented move that mirrors Texas’s historic action earlier this year. The Executive Order, signed Monday, marks the first time in Florida history that the Muslim Brotherhood’s sprawling U.S. network has been acknowledged by the state as a dangerous extremist infrastructure engaged in violence, coercion, and ideological subversion. It also directly identifies CAIR — the Brotherhood’s most visible American arm — as an organization whose associates have been convicted of providing material support to terrorism. https://rairfoundation.com/victory-after-rair-foundations-relentless-campaign-florida-designates/ Resigning Metropolitan Police Department Chief Pamela Smith deliberately manipulated Washington, D.C., crime data to appear lower, according to a new report. The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform's majority staff released an interim report on Sunday as part of its ongoing investigation into allegations that MPD leadership pressured commanders to alter crime stats. The committee launched the probe into the department in August. After interviewing seven acting MPD commanders and one suspended MPD commander, the committee found that the department's leadership placed "a higher priority on suppressing public reporting of crime statistics than stopping crime itself." The commanders allegedly told lawmakers that "they were not only pressured, but also instructed, to lower crime classifications to lesser intermediate offenses in such a way that those offenses would not be included in the [daily crime report] reported to the public."
