Two toxic RINO Senators, Lisa Murkowski (AK) and Susan Collins (ME) voted against advancing Hegseth’s nomination to a final floor vote. Vance arrived at the Capitol at 9:45 pm ET to cast the tie-breaking vote. The Senate confirmed Pete Hegseth as Defense Secretary after Vance cast his vote and broke the tie 51-50. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/01/pete-hegseth-confirmation-vote/ Trump’s State Department halted funding for military aid to Ukraine for 90 days. According to Politico, Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued new guidance on Friday to temporarily halt spending on most foreign aid for 3 months. This is a stark contrast to the last few years under the Biden Regime. Aman of his word, President Donald Trump has wasted no time tackling America’s immigration crisis — signing an executive order effectively ending birthright citizenship in the United States. Trump has argued that no other country in the world has as lax citizenship requirements as America, but Democrat critics are hopeful that the Supreme Court will overturn the order. “We’re the only country in the world that does this with birthright, as you know,” Trump said as he signed the order, adding, “And it’s just absolutely ridiculous, but we’ll see. We think it will have very good grounds. People have wanted to do this for decades.” Sara Gonzales of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered” couldn’t be more on board. “There is a tourism industry surrounding this whole birthright citizenship. Women come here before they give birth so that they can just give birth here, and then their babies become United States citizens. That’s nuts, and to his point, nobody else does this,” Gonzales says. Around 150,000 children are born annually in the United States who don’t have an American citizen as a parent. “Moving forward, let’s not do that,” Gonzales says. And it really may be the end of birthright citizenship, as Jason Buttrill believes that this time around, the Trump administration has everything needed to make sure this executive order sticks. “Big-time Democrat lawyers were saying ‘Look, we’re going to do what we can, but this is not the same Trump administration of 2017,’” Buttrill says. “It’s a completely different ball game. They’ve come with armies of lawyers.” https://www.theblaze.com/shows/sara-gonzales-unfiltered/birthright In a powerful display of strength and sovereignty, the Mexican military has dismantled the first migrant caravan of 2025. This decisive action reflects not only Mexico’s growing resolve to tackle the migration crisis but also the undeniable influence of President Donald Trump’s uncompromising stance on illegal immigration. President Trump’s return to the White House has sent a clear message to the world: the era of open borders and unchecked migration is over. His firm policies and unwavering commitment to protecting American sovereignty have reignited respect—and perhaps even a measure of fear—among foreign leaders who had grown accustomed to the Biden administration’s more lenient approach. Mexico’s swift and forceful response to the migrant caravan is almost certainly a direct result of Trump’s leadership. With mass deportations beginning, President Trump’s administration has reinstated key policies like “Remain in Mexico” and canceled programs that previously incentivized illegal crossings. This has pushed Mexico to step up enforcement along its borders, knowing that Trump will hold foreign governments accountable for enabling illegal migration. Roughly 8,000 migrants, many from Central and South America, began their journey northward by crossing into Mexico from Guatemala. They demanded free transit permits in Tapachula, but the Mexican government, emboldened by Trump’s pressure, denied their requests. Instead, a wall of 200 soldiers blocked their advance, delivering a message that echoed Trump’s own philosophy: “Nobody shall step on our land without permission.” The operation included the blocking of the Suchiate River and the deployment of tear gas and pepper spray to counter violent clashes with migrants armed with sticks and stones. This strong military presence, unseen in earlier migration crises, sent a clear signal that Mexico will no longer tolerate mass illegal crossings. Hundreds were detained and returned to the south side of the Guatemalan border, while others were dispersed into smaller groups. https://rairfoundation.com/mexican-military-dismantles-2025s-first-migrant-caravan-trumps/ @patrician The news just keeps gertting better, but remember, Jesus is our savior, not Trump. From Promoting Lies To Defending Truth: Trump Signs Orders Dismantling Biden’s Dangerous Trans Ideology: During his first day as the nation’s 47th president on Jan. 20, Donald Trump signed dozens of executive orders including repealing the Biden administration’s promotion of transgender ideology and safeguarding freedom of speech. President Trump’s executive order titled “Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government” overrides Biden-Harris administration policies that allowed men in women’s private spaces, on the sports field, and even in women’s prisons. The executive order rejects gender ideology by officially defining a man and a woman in irrefutable biological terms: “‘Female’ means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell.” “‘Male’ means a person belonging, at conception, to the sex that produces the small reproductive cell.” The order also specifies that all private spaces shall be designated “by sex and not identity” and that “no Federal funds are expended for any medical procedure, treatment, or drug for the purpose of conforming an inmate’s appearance to that of the opposite sex.” “President Trump’s executive order to end the U.S. government’s promotion of gender ideology and restore the true definition of ‘sex’ in federal law is momentous. It’s a 180-degree turn back toward reality and common sense. “Men and women have real biological differences. When the law denies this, people suffer. ADF has represented female athletes deprived of fairness, privacy, and safety; students deprived of free speech; parents deprived of decision-making authority for their children; teachers deprived of conscience rights; and schools deprived of funding. This executive order is a victory for them. A top Russian official on Tuesday warned the Trump administration against taking over the Panama Canal after the president stated in his inaugural address that he intended to regain control of the strategic waterway. Since the election, President Donald Trump has mentioned on several occasions that the United States should reassert control over the canal, which was built by Americans and controlled by the U.S. government until the Carter administration. Panama’s president has said that his government will not give up control of the canal. As Jack Phillips reports for The Epoch Times, Trump’s comments prompted a response from Alexander Shchetinin, head of the Latin American department at the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who said that Moscow expects the leadership of Panama and the Trump administration to respect the “current international legal regime of this key waterway” during any discussions about control of the Panama Canal, according to a translation of comments reported by Russia’s state-run news agency TASS. The Panama Canal links the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea and is considered one of the most important trade routes in the world. About 40 percent of U.S. container ships pass through the waterway, according to the Center for Strategic and International Studies. The U.S. government built the canal in the early part of the 20th century, starting under the administration of President Theodore Roosevelt, after it took over construction in 1904. Under President Jimmy Carter, negotiations started on handing over the waterway to the Panamanian government by the end of the 20th century. Trump has said that Chinese entities are operating the canal, which he said is unacceptable. In his inauguration speech at the U.S. Capitol on Monday, Trump again spoke about the canal. “American ships are being severely overcharged ... and above all, China is operating the Panama Canal, and we didn’t give it to China, we gave it to Panama, and we’re taking it back,” he said. Responding to Trump’s earlier comments, Panamanian President Jose Raul Mulino, in a video released on social media in December 2024, rejected arguments that the United States could reassert control over the canal. “As president, I want to clearly state that every square meter of the Panama Canal and its adjoining zone is Panama’s and will remain so,” Mulino said at the time. “The sovereignty and independence of our country is non-negotiable.”
