Surefire way for Trump to deal with sanctuary cities

February 1, 2025 Ogghy Filed Under: THE NEWS, WND

President Donald Trump won the illegal immigration war in 10 hours versus the socialist president of Colombia.

Not my alma mater Columbia University – which is also radical, socialist, anti-American and pro-illegal immigration. But the Latin American country of Colombia.

Trump should use this exact same blueprint that brought the country of Colombia to its knees to also force the cooperation of every other country in the world that fights our mass deportation policy – and every sanctuary city and state in the USA, and Columbia (the university).

In the end, like it or not, everything in this world is about money. Everything. And every battle can be won by bankrupting your adversary.

Money talks and bulls–t walks.

Colombia (the country) rejected our deportation flights. In response, Trump threatened to place a huge tariff on all goods from Colombia – starting at 25% and escalating to 50%.

Colombia’s bold-talking socialist president waved the white flag in 10 hours.

Suddenly, he became a born-again Trumper. He started singing the MAGA tune. He even offered to send his presidential jet to pick up the illegals we are deporting!

Remember the scene in “Goodfellas” where gangster Joe Pesci starts shooting at the feet of a young mobster “wannabe” named Spider? Pesci shoots at his feet and yells “dance!” That was Trump going all gangster on Colombia’s president. And immediately, the dancing started.

This is the exact blueprint to force every country in the world to fall in line, sing the MAGA tune and dance like Spider.

But Trump should add in a few additional threats.

In the case of Colombia, why didn’t we also threaten to terminate all foreign aid and other forms of assistance immediately? Or better yet, don’t threaten. Just turn the spigot off. Terminate all aid, assistance, loans on the spot – without a warning. Tell the offending country they must cooperate, if they want the spigot turned back on.

Do you know how much money we give to just this one pipsqueak country of Colombia? We committed over $900 million to Colombia to assist them with their immigration mess – because the whole of Venezuela is migrating to Colombia. America gives them $900 million for their immigration crisis. Why not cut off the $900 million?

That’s Trump’s blueprint for the whole world.

Hit them in the pocketbook and make them dance like Spider in “Goodfellas” if they want to eat.

I suggest Trump adds the double threat of huge tariffs and immediate termination of all foreign aid. It’s quite a one-two powerhouse combination to knock out any resistance.

And I’d add one more powerhouse punch to the equation:

Announce to all these countries allowing all their citizens to invade our country, if even one of their citizens returns after deportation, we will add a 1% tariff to their goods. If two come back, we add 2%. If 100 come back after deportation, we add 100% tariffs. Now their entire economy depends on stopping any of their citizens from illegally returning to the USA.

Guess what will happen?

These countries will seal their borders, and they will keep tabs on every returning illegal to make sure they never do it again. Perhaps they’ll lock repeat offenders away in prisons for life to make sure it never happens again. Either way, none of these illegals will ever be back in the USA – or their entire nation’s economy will be severely punished.

Now to the USA.

Apply a version of this exact same blueprint to any city or state in the USA that refuses to cooperate with deportations, or even worse, actively tries to stop ICE from doing their job.

First, cut off all federal funding. Don’t threaten to do it. Do it. Then demand they cooperate, if they want the funding turned back on. Watch the Democrat mayors and governors dance like Spider in “Goodfellas.”

Second, arrest the Democrat politicians and government officials breaking federal law by aiding and abetting illegal-alien criminals. Again, don’t threaten to arrest them. Just do it. And demand they start dancing, if they want to be released from prison.

After a few weeks in prison, I’m betting California Gov. Gavin Newsom, or Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, or Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, or Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, will all suddenly start dancing like Spider.

Third, use your “MAGA Army,” Mr. President. Name the cities and states that won’t cooperate and ask 77 million Trump voters to boycott those cities and states. When 77 million of us stop visiting and stop buying any products produced in those cities or states, they will notice.

The economies of sanctuary cities and states will come to a standstill. The starving businesses in those cities and states will put so much pressure on their mayors and governors, they will all dance like Spider.

Apply the same blueprint to my alma mater Columbia University, and all the elite universities that not only harbor illegal alien students but give them free rides while American citizens pay full price. Cut off their federal funding. Don’t threaten. Do it.

They only get it back if they start dancing like Spider.

The same applies to Catholic Charities – terminate all federal funding. Cut them off at the knees. We’ll see how quickly the leaders of the Catholic Church start dancing like Spider when they lose billions of dollars overnight. I’ll make “the over-under” 10 hours!

It’s all about the Benjamins. It always has been.

Cut off their funding and let’s see how tough they are, see how long they last. Let’s see how quickly they abandon their sanctuary stance.

From foreign countries, to American cities and states, to elite universities, to Catholic Charities …

Take their money away, and I’m betting they all start dancing like Spider in “Goodfellas.”

Trump’s state department drops the ‘T’ from LGBT on government website

February 1, 2025 Ogghy Filed Under: THE NEWS, WND

(THE GATEWAY PUNDIT) – The Trump White House is making it abundantly clear that it does not endorse transgenderism and gender ideology.

On the State Department’s official website, the term LGBT no longer exists and has been replaced by LGB. “LGB” stands for lesbian, gay and bisexual, while the “T” stands for transgenderism. The change was picked up on a page in which LGB travelers are warned about the potential risks of travelling abroad.

The move is part of a wider effort by the Trump administration to push back on transgenderism and the rise in gender ideology.

Muslim advocacy org that pressured schools to cancel speakers says Trump threatens ‘free speech’

February 1, 2025 Ogghy Filed Under: THE NEWS, WND

A Muslim advocacy group that pressures universities to disinvite speakers it deems offensive is now claiming that President Donald Trump threatens “free speech” for anti-Israel protesters.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) spoke out Wednesday against Trump’s executive order that directs officials to investigate those responsible for “anti-Semitic harassment and violence” on college campuses. The order follows Trump’s promise to deport foreigners on visas who support terrorist groups or “bear hostile attitudes toward” America — an effort CAIR calls “dishonest.”

“Like the college students who once protested segregation, the Vietnam war, and apartheid South Africa, the diverse collection of college students who protested against Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza deserve our country’s thanks,” CAIR said in a statement. “The Trump administration’s attempt to smear the many Jewish, Muslim, Palestinian and other college students who protested the Israeli government’s genocide in overwhelmingly peaceful ways represents a dishonest, overbroad and unenforceable attack on both free speech and the humanity of Palestinians, all for the sake of a foreign government.”

The executive order, unveiled Wednesday, was issued in response to anti-Israel campus protests, which the order claims subjected Jewish students to “denial of access to campus common areas and facilities, including libraries and classrooms; and intimidation, harassment, and physical threats and assault.” It requires agencies to submit reports detailing incidents of antisemitism and any lawful strategies to combat it.

A separate order Trump signed on Inauguration Day tells the government to revoke foreigners’ visas if they “bear hostile attitudes toward [American] citizens, culture, government, institutions, or founding principles, and do not advocate for, aid, or support designated foreign terrorists and other threats to our national security.” Federal law contains similar language allowing the deportation of any foreigner who “endorses” terrorists or “terrorist activity.”

CAIR did not immediately respond to multiple inquiries from the Daily Caller News Foundation on how it defines free speech on college campuses.

CAIR calls itself “America’s largest Muslim civil liberties organization” and fights “Islamophobia” through strategies such as targeting events it deems harmful to Muslims, including at public institutions.

The group celebrated earlier this month when the University of Maryland School of Medicine postponed a lecture set to be given by an Israeli military doctor in response to its demands. CAIR boasted that its “letter campaign” against the event “led to over 6,000 emails delivered in a matter of hours to the University’s Surgery Department Chair and Dean urging them to rescind this speaker invitation.”

“Providing a platform to a representative of the Israeli Defense Forces – an entity directly responsible for the ongoing genocide and targeting of healthcare workers in Gaza – to speak on the topic of saving lives is egregious and fundamentally at odds with the principles of medical ethics and human rights,” CAIR’s Maryland chapter said.

The public Maryland university cited “security” concerns when postponing the event, Jewish News Syndicate reported.

An advocacy group tracking antisemitism and “hard left extremism” criticized CAIR’s sense of priorities.

“The very fact that CAIR frames the conflict in Gaza as a ‘genocide’ tells you everything you need to know about how they view the war and who they’re backing,” Gregory T. Angelo, president of the New Tolerance Campaign, told the DCNF. “It’s stunning that they’d invoke the ‘mostly peaceful’ trope to describe pro-Hamas demonstrations that saw Jews hunted at Cooper Union in New York, pepper sprayed at UCLA, and beaten at DePaul University in Chicago.”

“Instead of denouncing President Trump’s executive order, CAIR should be condemning anti-Jewish racism, vandalism, and violence,” Angelo said.

Besides claiming victory for speaker cancellations, CAIR also sued Arizona’s Maricopa County Community College District in 2020 over a world politics course with a module on “Islamic Terrorism.” CAIR said the material attacked Islam and was unconstitutional, but federal courts repeatedly ruled against its claims and permitted the material.

The organization followed its Wednesday statement with a condemnation of Harvard University’s new standards for identifying antisemitism on Thursday, saying they threaten “academic freedoms.”

The Justice Department named CAIR as an unindicted co-conspirator in a plot to promote Hamas terrorists’ agenda in the U.S. via a network of advocacy groups, according to records stemming from a 2007 terror financing trial that the government won.

Fed workers ‘kicking and screaming’ at Trump’s buyout offer

February 1, 2025 Ogghy Filed Under: THE NEWS, WND

Government workers are reeling after President Donald Trump’s administration presented a “payout” to federal employees refusing to return to the office on a full-time basis.

The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) sent an email to millions of government employees on Tuesday, offering eight months of pay if they resigned by Feb. 6. In response, federal employees and Democratic representatives have lodged anonymous complaints to media outlets.

This followed Trump’s executive order forcing government workers to return to the office on a full-time basis on Jan. 20. “It was the batshit craziest email I’ve ever read,” one anonymous employee told POLITICO’S E&E News. “They’re gonna have to take me out kicking and screaming.” “It’s just not happening,” said one United States Department of Energy worker.

“There’s no way I’m sending ‘Resign’ to this jinky email address,” another staffer said. “I don’t care what you throw at me,” one U.S. National Science Foundation worker said, noting that they were “more angry now” and they were “not going to quit.”

Politico recorded many other grievances from the workers, who called the offer “insulting,” “perplexing … and dangerous” and an attempt to “dismantle the government.”

“This is STRAIGHT from the pages of Project 2025,” Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett wrote on X, Newsweek reported. “Trump is offering a fake ‘buyout’ to federal workers with no guarantee he won’t screw them the minute they accept — and then replace them with unqualified, inexperienced loyalists the second they leave.”

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed the legitimacy of the offer on Wednesday, according to NBC News, stating that if government employees “don’t want to work in the office and contribute to making America great again, then they are free to choose a different line of work, and the Trump Administration will provide a very generous payout of 8 months.”

It’s estimated that 5-10% of government workers will take Trump’s offer, according to NBC and Axios.

It is a “common setup” for federal employees to work from home three days a week, according to NPR. One federal staffer told the outlet that after her commute she is “just so brain dead” and she “cannot imagine trying to get in the car and go in a third day.”

Republican Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa released a report on Dec. 5. highlighting the issues with government employees working remotely. “Bureaucrats have been found in a bubble bath, on the golf course, running their own business, and even getting busted doing crime while on taxpayers’ time,” the document states.

Federal employee buyouts are not new or exclusive to Republican leadership. Former President Bill Clinton signed a similar bill back in 1994, The New York Times reported. Its aim was to cut the government workforce back by 12%, to 1.88 million.

There were 2.4 million federal employees at the start of 2025, according to Pew Research Center.

Former FAA safety rep says plane in Philadelphia crash appeared ‘100% out of control’

Explosion from small plane crash in Philadelphia

Former Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Safety Team representative Kyle Bailey said Friday evening on Fox News that the jet caught on camera crashing in northeastern Philadelphia appeared “100% out of control.”

Around 6:30 p.m. local time, videos surfaced showing a small jet crashing into a neighborhood in northeastern Philadelphia, with images and footage depicting the plane erupting into a fireball. The FAA confirmed the crash in a statement, identifying the aircraft as a Learjet 55 that had been departing from northeastern Philadelphia Airport en route to Springfield-Branson National Airport in Missouri.

On “Hannity,” Fox’s Sean Hannity began discussing the Learjet 55, adding that his pilot friends had described the aircraft as “a sports car in the air.” He then asked Bailey if this type of jet is different from the “average commuter jet.”

“That’s exactly right, Sean. You have to be ahead of that airplane at all times, or it will get control of you. That plane was doing in excess of 10,000 feet per minute rate of descent, and it didn’t even make it to 2,000 feet after takeoff,” Bailey said. “Right after takeoff, the controller was asking, calling for the airplane to respond. There was no response by the flight crew. There was no communication.”

“The controller was a little bit stumped in trying to make contact with the airplane, and that tells me that the pilot completely was consumed with whatever was going on, and from that rate of descent and from that airplane coming down like a missile, it looked like it could have potentially been at full power,” Bailey added. “It was just coming down there at a rate that really was unbelievable.”

WATCH:

Bailey went on to say that the explosion was likely massive due to the “large quantity of jet fuel,” adding that he believed there was probably nothing the pilot “could have done” to prevent the incident.

“So from taking off for a flight of the duration of where it was going, that probably was very closely, fully loaded with fuel. So that huge fireball that we saw is the result of a large quantity of jet fuel, and that big, almost like — for lack of a better term — like a nuclear-like explosion is probably the jet fuel reflecting off that cloud base,” Bailey said.

“That’s why it looks a little bit strange, but there is no doubt that the plane was 100% out of control, and there was probably nothing that pilot could have done,” Bailey added. “Not even a 10-second mayday came out of that radio back to the control tower.”

The plane was reportedly on a medical assignment with four crew members and two passengers aboard, according to 6ABC. During a press conference around 8:30 p.m., Democratic Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker could not provide a fatality count. She instead asked residents “for prayers.”

The crash comes just days after a commercial plane collided with a military helicopter near Washington Reagan National Airport on Wednesday evening, killing all involved.

The incident is under investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board and FAA.

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich challenges Americans to contact their senators, demand RFK Jr. confirmation

January 31, 2025 Ogghy Filed Under: THE NEWS, WND

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich challenges Americans to contact their senators, demand RFK Jr. confirmation

The confirmation for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been quite the battle. Nevertheless, in spite of his “long and complicated life,” former House Speaker Newt Gingrich believes that RFK Jr. should be given the position of Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Gingrich agrees with RJK Jr.’s assessment of America’s healthcare system: It’s actually a sick-care system, not a healthcare system.

“America spends more on sick-care, and Americans have gotten sicker,” Gingrich said in his Gingrich 360 Newsletter.

“If we stop focusing on insurance and sick-care – and instead focus on what sustains health and long life – we will get dramatic results. The population will be healthier and the system will be less expensive. We will save lives and money,” he said.

Gingrich believes that shifting the focus of the American people to “health rather than sickness – and prevention rather than treatment,” is a key focus for, “one of the great revolutions we need to make America healthy again.”

“Every citizen should contact their senators,” Gingrich insisted, “and demand Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s confirmation. Our lives, health, and finances will all improve if he can lead a national debate and force change on our deeply broken health care system.”

‘Too big to fail banks’ debank conservatives and faith groups

‘Too big to fail banks’ debank conservatives and faith groups

It seems somehow ironic that Banka of America and JP Morgan Chase, two of several banks deemed “too big to fail” back in the 2008 bank collapse, are now debanking conservatives and faith groups. At the time they were in trouble, President George W. Bush was getting ready to leave office, and Obama was stepping in with Joe Biden as his Vice President. Obama signed a bill into law nicknamed “The Wall Street Bailout Bill.” It was also known as the Frank-Dodd Act. Bank of America and JP Morgan Chase were two of several banks that were bailed out by taxpayer money.

Fast forward to 2025, the “too big to fail” banks are now singling out an increasing number of conservative groups and Christian leaders who say that the bank has closed their accounts, won’t process financial transactions or are “blacklisted” by the banks, according to CBN.

President Trump has referred to the actions of the two banks as “woke capitalism.”

New York Rep. Claudia Tenney wants to rename Israel’s West Bank, Trump supports change

January 31, 2025 Ogghy Filed Under: THE NEWS, WND

1.31.2025 8:00 p.m.

New York Rep. Claudia Tenney wants to rename Israel’s West Bank, Trump supports change

Perhaps Representative Claudia Tenney (R-NY) felt emboldened by President Trump’s move to rename the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America, and restore the name of Alaska’s Mt. McKinley. Nevertheless, it’s not the first time that Tenney has introduced a bill to rename the West Bank. Tenney wants it to be called “Judea and Samaria.” The name of her proposed bill is “Recognizing Judea and Samaria Act.”

“We need to make sure that we don’t allow the language, the tradition, the history of Israel, to be weaponized by terms like ‘West Bank,’” Tenney said in a room of hundreds last week at the re-launch party of the Congressional Israel Allies Caucus, according to The Media Line.

If passed, the bill will call for all official documents to use the names “Judea and Samaria” in place of West Bank.

“President Trump has said this is going to be a very priority task for him to get this done,” said Tenney. “It’s the beginning of us shifting the language, and what we’re doing and making sure that we always protect the historical homeland of the Jews, and that is in Israel, and Israel includes Judea and Samaria.”
