Going Strong

228,000 new jobs were created last month. That’s more than 50% higher than the “experts” were predicting.

The stock market turmoil continued Friday. I suspect we will find out eventually that powerful forces are intentionally driving prices down. But that’s a story for another day.
 
Here’s what should be screaming headlines.
 
All the “smart” people telling you that tariffs will destroy the economy and that Donald Trump doesn’t know what he’s doing were also telling us that with all the government layoffs and uncertainty, we’d be lucky to get 140,000 new jobs in March.
 
Well, we just got the March jobs report, and 228,000 new jobs were created last month. That’s more than 50% higher than the “experts” were predicting.
 
By the way, General Motors just announced that it is expanding production at its Fort Wayne, Indiana, plant in response to President Trump’s tariffs. That’s more jobs for American workers!
 
 
 
Pelosi’s Pivot
 
Communist China responded to President Trump’s tariffs Friday by slapping additional tariffs on U.S. goods. Given that China sells three times as much to us as we sell to them, it seems to me that Beijing has more to lose than we do.
 
Trade with communist China used to be something that Nancy Pelosi was interested in. I know it’s hard to believe, but she actually worked with me trying to stop the Clinton administration from granting most favored nation trading status to communist China.
 
Some suggest that she’s only opposing tariffs now because it’s Donald Trump who is doing it. I don’t believe that.
 
Pelosi got weak on communist China years ago. What caused Pelosi to go wobbly on China was that she decided trade with China could enrich her! And she wasn’t alone.
 
The entire Washington, D.C., establishment jumped on board. That’s why Donald Trump said this during his first inaugural address:
 
“For too long, a small group in our nation’s capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost. Washington flourished – but the people did not share in its wealth. Politicians prospered – but the jobs left, and the factories closed. The establishment protected itself, but not the citizens of our country.”
 
Thankfully, Trump is back, and he is putting America first.
 
 
 
America Last
 
You’ve probably heard a lot about Kilmar Garcia. He’s the “Maryland father of three” who the media claim was “unjustly” deported by Donald Trump. Now major law firms are fighting his deportation and offering to represent him for free.
 
What the media aren’t telling you is that Garcia entered America illegally in 2011. Years later, he was arrested. A court ruled that he should be deported because he is a member of the violent MS-13 gang.
 
But listening to the Democrats, you’d think Garcia was a Boy Scout. They are even demanding that Garcia and other deported gang members be brought back to America. That’s insane!
 
The only reason Garcia was still in the country is because Joe Biden made no serious effort to deport illegal aliens during the four years he occupied the Oval Office. That’s changed now. Donald Trump and Tom Homan have taken Biden’s handcuffs off of our immigration enforcement agents.
 
Here’s another name. But, sadly, you won’t hear much about him.
 
Nate Baker was a junior at the University of South Carolina. Nate was killed Wednesday when he was hit by a truck making an illegal turn. The truck driver was another illegal alien who shouldn’t have been here. Like Garcia, this illegal alien also had deportation orders.
 
The whole left-wing establishment defends the so-called “right” of illegal aliens to live in America to enjoy a better life. Well, this illegal alien just snuffed out the life of an American citizen.
 
Nate Baker will never have the chance for a better life. He will never get married and have a family. And I guarantee you, not one Democrat senator will say a word about him.
 
Just think about that. The most powerful forces on the left are defending the “rights” of illegal aliens while they’re sweeping the deaths of American citizens under the rug. That’s the very definition of an America last policy.
 
Coincidentally, the trial of the illegal alien who murdered Rachel Morin, a mother of five, began Friday. You’ll only hear about it on Fox News because the “mainstream media” don’t want you to know about it, and they are doing their best to sweep Morin’s murder under the rug, too.
 
 
 
Maine’s Maniacs
 
Left-wing politicians in Maine continue to resist President Trump’s demands to get men out of women’s sports. A recent poll shows that the cultural Marxists running Maine don’t represent the citizens of that state.
 
In this relatively liberal New England state, 64% of Maine residents do not want men competing (cheating) in women’s sports. Just 29% think it’s okay.
 
Let’s dig a little deeper and see how the issue breaks down by party. 

  • An amazing 56% of Maine Democrats support men cheating in women’s sports. 
  • 14% of Independents support men cheating in women’s sports. GOP consultants always say we lose independents when we bring up cultural/values issues. Wrong! 
  • And in the remade GOP rebuilt by Donald Trump, only 1% of Republicans support the bizarre idea of men cheating in women’s sports.
 
The Trump administration isn’t backing down. It just froze federal funds to Maine for refusing to comply with Title IX, which requires fair treatment for women, not men pretending to be women.
 
If Title IX includes men, it won’t be long before an all-male basketball team wins the women’s national championship!
 
So, the battle is just beginning. There will be a lot of finger-pointing about who is at fault, and you know the media will spin it as Trump’s fault.
 
But if Maine loses federal funds, it’s because the left-wing governor and state legislators are defying federal law and allowing men to crush the hopes and dreams of female athletes.
 
 
 
Left-wing Lunacy
 
In related news, Democrats in the Georgia House of Representatives walked out of the chamber Wednesday in protest.
 
What got Democrats so upset? Republicans put a bill on the floor banning taxpayer-funded sex changes for prison inmates. That speaks volumes about the extremism of today’s Democrat Party.
 
And it will be political malfeasance if the Georgia GOP doesn’t make this into an ad.
 
 
 
Bernie Bashes Israel
 
Vermont socialist Bernie Sanders forced two votes in the Senate Thursday. What was so important to Sanders? He wants an arms embargo against Israel. Isn’t that interesting?
 
The guy who is firing up the left-wing crowds of the left-wing party is leading the charge against our ally Israel. Radical leftists dominate the grassroots of the Democrat Party. They are the future of the party, and they love Sanders partly because he is trying to disarm Israel in the middle of war.
 
Thankfully, only 15 senators, all Democrats, backed Bernie’s Israel bashing.
 
 
 
Security Shake-up
 
After the Signalgate controversy erupted, I said the White House should fire the National Security Council (NSC) staff member who let a left-wing journalist into the chat session. Well, President Trump fired several NSC officials last week.
 
Two were fired last Sunday, and four were fired Tuesday. According to the Wall Street Journal, at least four more are reportedly on the chopping block after Trump met with conservative activist Laura Loomer on Wednesday. The firings included top officials like NSA Director Gen. Timothy Haugh.
 
Of course, the DC establishment is going nuts. But during his first term, Donald Trump learned the hard way that there were plenty of enemies inside the White House gates.
 
 
 
Something Horrible
 
Speaking to reporters on Air Force One Thursday, President Trump praised Elon Musk as a “patriot” and said he was welcome to continue his government service as long as he wants.
 
Trump also said that Musk and the DOGE team just discovered something “horrible” and “incredible,” but they weren’t ready to announce it yet.
 
Okay, I’m on the edge of my seat!
 
 
 
Media Malfeasance
 
Far from being “free,” independent, and objective truth tellers, today’s media are combatants in America’s culture war. They are fully aligned with the radical left against the values of most Americans. Read more in my latest opinion piece at AFA’s The Stand.
 
 
 
Tune In To Family Talk
 
I hope you will tune in to Dr. James Dobson’s Family Talk Radio show today for Part 2 of my conversation with Kirk Cameron about his new faith-based children’s show.
 
You can find station listings here. You can listen online here.
 
 
 
Good News 
  • The Alaska State Medical Board formally asked the legislature to protect children from sterilizing drugs and mutilating surgeries, saying such radical procedures “lack legitimacy” due to “insufficient evidence of long-term benefits and risks of irreversible harm.”  
  • Idaho Gov. Brad Little signed legislation requiring middle and high school students to be taught about fetal development, a big step toward encouraging a culture of life.  
  • Kentucky legislators protected taxpayers from funding sex change procedures after they overrode liberal Gov. Andy Beshear’s veto.  
  • The Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association, which governs high school sports, approved a new policy protecting women’s sports from cheating men.
  • States are cleaning up their voter rolls – a key component of election integrity – by purging illegal aliens and dead people.
