Trump Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said during a cabinet meeting today that Joe Biden’s Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg allowed trucking schools to ‘self-certify.’ He compared it to the ‘Quality Learing Center’ in Minneoplis.

If this is accurate, it would go a long way in explaining the sudden rash of fatalities involving immigrant drivers on American highways.

In the video below, Duffy says:

“If you can’t understand road signs, if you can’t communicate with law enforcement, when you’re pulled over and communicate what’s on your rig, huge problem.”

“But the last administration, Mr. President, they let truck driving schools self-certify. They were qualified to train truck drivers. And so this is like the learing center, where you could pay $800 and uh, you’d get a certificate that you had passed a CDL driving school, and they have no skills, they don’t have the knowledge and they haven’t gone through any of the testing.”

“And then they get licenses and they’re killing Americans on our roads.”

Watch the video below:

What Duffy says in that video confirms what you see in this video, which has been going viral on Twitter/X for a few days now. A police officer grills a truck driver who clearly has zero command of the English Language. Watch:

Secretary Duffy has been working on this problem for at least a few months now.

Trump’s Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy Cracks Down on Illegal Providers of Commercial Driver’s License Test Training Centers

U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy has announced the removal of nearly 3,000 commercial driver’s license (CDL) training providers from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA) Training Provider Registry (TPR) for failing to equip trainees with the Trump Administration’s standards of readiness. Another 4,500 training providers were placed on notice due to potential noncompliance.

“This administration is cracking down on every link in the illegal trucking chain. Under Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg, bad actors were able to game the system and let unqualified drivers flood our roadways. Their negligence endangered every family on America’s roadways, and it ends today,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy. “Under President Trump, we are reigning in illegal and reckless practices that let poorly trained drivers get behind the wheel of semi-trucks and school buses.”

The Biden administration was an utter train wreck. This is just one example in a long line of failures.

HILARIOUS! Trump Dunks on Liberal Host Jessica Tarlov During Call-In to ‘The Five’ on FOX News (VIDEO)

Screencap of YouTube video.

President Trump called in to The Five on FOX News today and talked about a number of topics. It’s worth seeing in full, which you can below.

Last night, when we told readers that this appearance was going to happen, we mistakenly thought that Trump was going to make an in-studio appearance and we are sorry for getting that wrong.

One thing we were not wrong about however, is that liberal host Jessica Tarlov would not be there and she wasn’t. We even suggested that Kennedy would be a better choice for that seat and that is exactly what happened.

One of the funniest moments from Trump’s appearance came when he talked about Jessica Tarlov, totally dunking on her. The other hosts tried to hold it together, except Greg Gutfeld, who had to put his head down on the table.

Mediaite has details:

During the interview, Jesse Watters invited Trump to the set at some point in the future when Tarlov, the show’s liberal co-host, is present.

“Mr. President, the next time you do this on The Five, can we have you on set?” he asked. “Because we really want you to sit next to Jessica. I think you’d be a good influence on her. Can you do that?”

“Well, I think– I watch Jessica, and I’m not a fan,” Trump replied as the co-hosts laughed. And she uses fake numbers. She’ll give, ‘Well, he’s only polling [at] 42%.’ That’s not right. Polling very high, actually. You know, polls are just like– I hate people that use fake polls because polls are just like bad journalists. You know, bad journalists, they write fake stories. Well, fake polls do damage also. But that’s the thing. I’m sure I’d like her. I’m sure she’s a lovely person.”

“She’s a lovely person,” Watters replied. “We’re working on her. Don’t worry.”

Here’s the clip:

He is right about Jessica. She definitely suffers from Stage 5 Trump Derangement Syndrome. Gutfeld has had some legendary battles with her.

You can watch the entire segment below. It’s the whole 44 minutes. Enjoy.

The left just can’t appreciate how funny Trump can be sometimes.

Chicago Democrat Closes Her Office After Backlash for Saying Student Murdered by Illegal Alien Was in ‘Wrong Place at Wrong Time’

Posted on by patriotsheart

Screencap of Twitter/X video.

Last week , when a college student in Chicago named Sheridan Gorman was murdered by an illegal immigrant, a Democrat Chicago Alderwoman named Maria Hadden blamed the victim, suggesting that Gorman was in the wrong place at the wrong time, or that she might have startled the shooter.

You can see the video of her comments here.

The backlash to the alderwoman was so severe that she has closed her office for the time being.

FOX News reports:

Chicago alderwoman closes office after ‘wrong place at the wrong time’ comment on slain student fuels backlash

A Chicago alderwoman closed her office for the rest of the week in response to backlash over comments that a slain college student was in the “wrong place at the wrong time,” citing safety concerns.

Sheridan Gorman, 18, was killed March 19 around 1 a.m. when she was on a pier in the city’s Rogers Park area, just north of Loyola University Chicago, where the freshman attended college.

The suspect in Gorman’s murder, 25-year-old Jose Medina-Medina, an illegal immigrant from Venezuela, was apprehended by the U.S. Border Patrol May 9, 2023, then released into the U.S. under the Biden administration, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

After the shooting, Alderwoman Maria Hadden suggested in an interview with Fox 32 Chicago that Gorman was in the “wrong place at the wrong time,” adding that she might have “startled” the individual accused of killing her.

In a Facebook story posted on Wednesday, Hadden announced her office would be closed for the rest of the week due to safety concerns.

“My team and I are taking these precautions to ensure our safety and ability to maintain the level of service that you expect of us. I am still working as usual and will be out and about in our ward this week,” she wrote.

This tweet mocking the alderwoman is pretty good.

If she had to close her office due to threats, that’s too bad. Maybe she’ll choose her words more carefully next time.

JUST IN: Biden Judge Blocks Trump From Forcing Pentagon, Every Federal Agency to Cut Ties with Anthropic, a ‘Woke’ AI Company That is ‘Putting Troops in Danger’

A federal judge on Thursday blocked the Trump Administration from forcing the Pentagon and every federal agency to cut ties with Anthropic.

Judge Rita Lin, a Biden appointee said Trump’s ban is a First Amendment violation.

The judge halted her ruling for a week to give the Justice Department time to appeal her decision.

Last month, President Trump ordered every federal agency to cease use of Anthropic AI after the company refused to comply with the Pentagon’s demands.

“THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WILL NEVER ALLOW A RADICAL LEFT, WOKE COMPANY TO DICTATE HOW OUR GREAT MILITARY FIGHTS AND WINS WARS! That decision belongs to YOUR COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, and the tremendous leaders I appoint to run our Military,” Trump said.

“The Leftwing nut jobs at Anthropic have made a DISASTROUS MISTAKE trying to STRONG-ARM the Department of War, and force them to obey their Terms of Service instead of our Constitution. Their selfishness is putting AMERICAN LIVES at risk, our Troops in danger, and our National Security in JEOPARDY,” Trump said.

“Therefore, I am directing EVERY Federal Agency in the United States Government to IMMEDIATELY CEASE all use of Anthropic’s technology. We don’t need it, we don’t want it, and will not do business with them again! There will be a Six Month phase out period for Agencies like the Department of War who are using Anthropic’s products, at various levels. Anthropic better get their act together, and be helpful during this phase out period, or I will use the Full Power of the Presidency to make them comply, with major civil and criminal consequences to follow,” Trump added.

“WE will decide the fate of our Country — NOT some out-of-control, Radical Left AI company run by people who have no idea what the real World is all about. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump added.

The Pentagon previously blasted Anthropic and its conversational AI assistant, Claude.

“The Department of War has no interest in using AI to conduct mass surveillance of Americans (which is illegal) nor do we want to use AI to develop autonomous weapons that operate without human involvement. This narrative is fake and being peddled by leftists in the media,” Pentagon spox Sean Parnell said.

“Here’s what we’re asking: Allow the Pentagon to use Anthropic’s model for all lawful purposes,” Parnell added.

“This is a simple, common-sense request that will prevent Anthropic from jeopardizing critical military operations and potentially putting our warfighters at risk. We will not let ANY company dictate the terms regarding how we make operational decisions. They have until 5:01 PM ET on Friday to decide. Otherwise, we will terminate our partnership with Anthropic and deem them a supply chain risk for DOW,” he said.

Judge Rita Lin said her order does not require the Pentagon to use Anthropic and Claude, but blocking federal agencies from using the company is unconstitutional.

“For example, this Order does not require the Department of War to use Anthropic’s products or services and does not prevent the Department of War from transitioning to other artificial intelligence providers, so long as those actions are consistent with applicable regulations, statutes, and constitutional provisions,” the judge wrote in her order.

WATCH: Trump Slams “Paper Tiger” NATO for Refusing to Help Secure the Strait of Hormuz, Says “We Don’t Need Them” and He’ll “Never Forget”

Posted on by patriotsheart

Former President Donald Trump speaks during a meeting at the White House, flanked by two officials, with flags in the background and a call-to-action for updates.

Former President Donald Trump speaks during a meeting at the White House, flanked by two officials, with flags in the background and a call-to-action for updates.

President Trump went off on NATO during a Cabinet Meeting on Wednesday went off on NATO again for their refusal to provide support to reopen the Strait of Hormuz as Iran blocks the flow of oil and shipping in the waterway. 

President Trump has asked NATO and Asia for help securing the Strait, but they refused. The countries quickly rebuffed his demands and instead called for and instead urged the United States to end the war.

Last week, the President responded to NATO’s refusal, telling reporters, We don’t need help.”

“This was a great test because we don’t need them, but they should have been there,” he said, noting that “we as the United States have to remember that, because we think it’s pretty shocking,” he said.

The President later said that he would “finish off” Iran in response and that he would leave the Strait for the other countries to “be responsible” for =it.

BREAKING UPDATE: President Trump Releases Unclassified Footage of US Military’s “Most Powerful Bombing Raids” in the History of the Middle East

Trump also called NATO a “paper tiger” and “cowards” last Friday.

On Thursday during a meeting with his cabinet, Trump opened his remarks with similar comments, telling reporters that he’s always said NATO is a “paper tiger” and that the US will “come to their rescue, but they will never come to ours.”

To the new offers from NATO and the UK to send support to the region once the war is over, Trump said, “Don’t bother. We don’t need it.”

WATCH:

Trump: They didn’t want to get dragged in, but we don’t want to get dragged into their wars either. One thing, we’re very disappointed. I’ll say it publicly. We’re very disappointed with NATO because NATO has done absolutely nothing. And I’ve always said, 25 years ago, I mean, I was somebody that wasn’t a politician, but I was always involved in politics, and I understood politics. I said 25 years ago that NATO is a paper tiger, but more importantly, that we’ll come to their rescue, but they will never come to ours.

And I want you to remember that we said this, they didn’t come to our rescue. Now they all want to help when they’re annihilated, the other side is annihilated. They said we’d love to send ships. They actually made a statement, a couple of them, that we want to get involved when the war is over. No, it’s supposed to get involved with the war’s beginning, or even before it begins.

We had the UK say that we’ll send, this is three weeks ago, we’ll send our aircraft carriers— which aren’t the best aircraft carriers, by the way, they’re toys compared to what we have— but we’ll send our aircraft carrier when the war is over. I said, Oh, that’s wonderful. Thank you very much. Don’t bother. We don’t need it, and we don’t need it. And we don’t need them.

Later, Trump again described his demands as a test for NATO, which they failed. “We’re going to remember,” Trump said before telling NATO, “Remember this in a number of months from now, remember my statements.”

WATCH:

In the meantime, with Iran, we’re going to keep doing what we’ve been doing, and nobody’s a match for the United States, but they’re not a match for the United States. It’s small potatoes. That’s why I’m so disappointed in NATO, because this was a test for NATO.

This was a test. You gonna help us? You don’t have to, but if you don’t have, you know, if you don’t do that, we’re going to remember, just remember. Remember this in a number of months from now, remember my statements. They have an expression, a great expression: Never Forget. We can never forget.

Alert: Olympic Committee Steps up to Protect Women, Bans Trans Athletes from Female Events

Posted on by patriotsheart

No man will grab an Olympic medal from a woman under a new policy unveiled Thursday by the International Olympic Committee.

Under the new policy, genetic testing will be required to ensure only women compete in women’s categories, according to The New York Times.

The decision will take effect with the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.

“As a former athlete, I passionately believe in the rights of all Olympians to take part in fair competition,” IOC president Kristy Coventry, a former gold medal Olympian, said in a statement posted on the IOC website.

“The policy that we have announced is based on science and has been led by medical experts. At the Olympic Games, even the smallest margins can be the difference between victory and defeat,” she said.

“So, it is absolutely clear that it would not be fair for biological males to compete in the female category. In addition, in some sports it would simply not be safe,” she said.

“Every athlete must be treated with dignity and respect, and athletes will need to be screened only once in their lifetime. There must be clear education around the process and counselling available, alongside expert medical advice,” she said.

The decision drew a yelp of outrage from Payoshni Mitra, executive director at Humans of Sport, according to the Times.

“This kind of brutal language doesn’t protect sports — it polices women’s bodies,” she said. “It fuels suspicion, invites public scrutiny and puts already vulnerable athletes at risk.”

The Trump administration noted that President Donald Trump had galvanized action after issuing an executive order banning men from women’s sports in America.

“The IOC aligning their policy with President Trump’s Executive Order ahead of the 2028 LA Games is common sense and long-overdue,” White House representative Davis Ingle said, according to The Washington Post.

The IOC document explaining its decision said men are born with physical advantages over women that are retained, according to CNN.

In comments posted to Inside the Games, Coventry noted that the policy was about “the protection of the female category in Olympic sport.”

She said the “policy is foundationally based in science and it’s been led by medical experts and it’s been done with the best interests of athletes right at the heart.”

“We know that this topic is sensitive,” she continued, adding that the goal of the new policy is that “athletes are looked after, that athletes have the ability to compete on a fair and level playing field, and that is what I believe we have done.”

Florida AG Warns NFL Against Race-Based Diversity Hiring

Posted on by patriotsheart

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier made it clear that he plans to challenge one of the most controversial practices in sports: an NFL rule that requires minority candidates to be interviewed for key coaching and front office decisions.

In a letter and an accompanying video released Wednesday, Uthmeier said he plans to challenge the so-called “Rooney Rule” used by the league, arguing it violates state law.

According to WPEC-TV in West Palm Beach, Uthmeier’s letter warned that the rule cannot be enforced on the three NFL teams based in Florida — the Jacksonville Jaguars, Miami Dolphins, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers — saying all three must “interview, hire, and train based on merit,” as should the NFL.

If the teams are subject to the rule “or any variation or extension thereof,” he warned, it “may result in a civil rights enforcement action.”

He also said that the NFL’s Coach & Front Office Accelerator Program and Mackie Development Program would “limit, segregate, and classify” candidates in a manner inconsistent with Florida law.

“My office is sending a letter to the NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell, regarding the league’s hiring practices — specifically, the use of the so-called ‘Rooney Rule,’ which requires NFL teams to interview candidates based on race,” he said in the social media video.

“The NFL’s use of the Rooney Rule violates Florida law by requiring race-based considerations in hiring. Florida law is clear: Hiring decisions cannot be based on race, and the Rooney Rule mandates race-based interviews and incentivizes race-based decisions.”

The rule — named after then-Pittsburgh Steelers owner Dan Rooney, who was the head of the committee that recommended the policy — was implemented in 2003 amid the specter of a lawsuit led by O.J. Simpson attorney Johnnie Cochran.

While the league’s players were largely minority, the NFL had faced criticism that only three black head coaches had been hired by the league’s teams: Art Shell by the Los Angeles Raiders in 1989, Dennis Green of the Minnesota Vikings in 1992, and Tony Dungy of the Buccaneers in 1996.

(Hispanic head coaches had a longer history in the league, starting with Tom Fears of the New Orleans Saints in 1967; Tom Flores of the Oakland/Los Angeles Raiders won two Super Bowls as a head coach after the 1980 and 1983 seasons.)

All three black coaches hired before the Rooney Rule were also let go by their teams after rare mediocre seasons after long stretches of success, critics argued.

Under the Rooney Rule, at least one minority candidate must be interviewed for a head coaching position. In 2020, the rules were dramatically expanded, ESPN noted, to require two minority candidates outside the organization for a head coaching job and one minority candidate for coordinator jobs.

In addition, it expanded the rule to apply to executive positions and required teams to establish minority coaching fellowship programs.

At present, five minority coaches hold head coaching positions in the NFL: Three black (Todd Bowles of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, DeMeco Ryans of the Houston Texans, and Aaron Glenn of the New York Jets), one Hispanic (Dave Canales of the Carolina Panthers), and one Lebanese-American (Robert Saleh of the Tennessee Titans).

Two minority head coaches have won Super Bowls in the 24 seasons since the Rooney Rule took effect: Dungy after the 2006 season with the Indianapolis Colts, and Mike Tomlin after the 2008 season with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Between 2000 and 2024, the Associated Press reported, there had been 31 black head coaches out of 173 total new hires, although this did not count other minorities.

ABHORRENT: Terrorist Sympathizers in Philadelphia Celebrate Fallen U.S. Soldiers, Back Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran While Torch­ing American Flags — “For Every U.S. soldier Who Returns Home in a Casket, We Cheer!”

Posted on by patriotsheart

Crowd gathered at a city square for a protest, featuring individuals holding banners and wearing masks, with skyscrapers in the background.

A mob of masked terrorist sympathizers descended on City Hall Wednesday evening for a so-called “Hands Off Iran” rally and proceeded to cheer the deaths of U.S. soldiers, openly praise Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis, and set American flags on fire while waving Palestinian and Iranian flags.

This wasn’t some fringe gathering hidden in the shadows. This was brazen, in-your-face anti-American extremism happening in broad daylight in a major U.S. city.

Video footage captured by independent journalist Frank Scales of Surge Philly shows the crowd erupting in cheers as a speaker in a bright red hoodie said:

“Until we have done everything in our power to bring the United States to its knees, let us not lose sight of the enemy. For every U.S. military base that crumbles, and for every U.S. soldier who returns home in a casket, we cheer!”

The speaker didn’t stop there. He went full-throated in support of America’s deadliest enemies:

“Hamas, Hezbollah, Ansar Allah [the Houthis], and all the resistance forces – we celebrate these popular forces on the ground. They spend every waking moment in direct confrontation with Zionism, and they rely on a strong Iranian state to maintain their fighting capacity. Do you hate America? May a Hamas rocket blow up your family’s home.”

WATCH:

More on the Daily Mail:

Scales told the Daily Mail on Thursday: ‘The protesters were advocating for the destruction of the United States of America.’

‘The speaker exposed what has always been true about these protesters,’ Scales added. ‘They aren’t concerned with human rights. Their goal is to tear down the West and the United States of America.’

He claimed that he heard ‘many chants about how US soldiers should be killed and the United States should be destroyed.’

‘But not one about the thousands of Iranians killed by the Islamic regime,’ Scales told the Daily Mail.

[…]

Other demonstrators were also covered up in similar attire, carrying flags with inscriptions in Arabic and signs saying ‘Amerika is the head of the snake’ and ‘Right to resist, right to return.’

In a follow-up post, Scales claimed the demonstration included members of groups such as Indivisible Philadelphia, Brandywine Peace Community, the Prayers for Peace Alliance and CODEPINK.

This is the same crowd that has spent years defending the October 7th butchers of Hamas and now celebrates Iran, the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism.

Even Democrat Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman condemned the vile display.

President Trump’s Signature to Appear on US Currency

Posted on by patriotsheart

President Trump’s signature will appear on US currency along with Treasury Secretary Bessent.

The news of Trump’s signature appearing on US currency was first reported by Vanity Fair.

The Treasury Department announced it later Thursday.

“In honor of the 250th anniversary of the United States of America, President Donald J. Trump’s signature will appear on future U.S. paper currency along with the Secretary of the Treasury, marking the first time in history for a sitting president,” the Treasury Department announced.

“Under President Trump’s leadership, we are on a path toward unprecedented economic growth, lasting dollar dominance, and fiscal strength and stability,” said Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent.

“There is no more powerful way to recognize the historic achievements of our great country and President Donald J. Trump than U.S dollar bills bearing his name, and it is only appropriate that this historic currency be issued at the Semiquincentennial,” Bessent added.

“As the 250th anniversary of our great nation approaches, American currency will continue to stand as a symbol of prosperity, strength, and the unshakable spirit of the American people under President Trump’s leadership,” said Treasurer Brandon Beach.

“The President’s mark on history as the architect of America’s Golden Age economic revival is undeniable. Printing his signature on the American currency is not only appropriate, but also well deserved,” he said.

“On July 4, 2026, America will celebrate the most important milestone in our country’s history — 250 years of American Independence,”

“With a single sheet of parchment and 56 signatures, America began the greatest political journey in human history,” said President Trump of this momentous anniversary.

“The White House is engaging all levels of government, the private sector, non-profit and educational institutions, and every citizen across the country to celebrate this historic milestone. To achieve this ambitious vision, we have created a new public-private partnership called Freedom 250,” the White House said.

“Task Force 250 aims to inspire a renewed love for American history, encourage citizens to experience the beauty of our country, ignite a spirit of adventure and innovation to help our nation succeed for the next 250 years, and invite Americans to pray for our country and our people and rededicate ourselves as One Nation Under God,” the White House said.

President Trump Confirms the CIA Told Him Iran’s New Supreme Leader Is Gay

Close-up portrait of a man with blonde hair wearing a suit and tie, set against a blue backdrop, engaged in conversation.

President Trump, in an interview with Fox News, confirmed that the CIA gave him intelligence that Iran’s new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is gay.

The Gateway Pundit reported earlier this month that it appears that Iran’s new Supreme Leader, who was chosen by Iran’s clerical establishment following the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, is likely a homosexual.

According to a report by the New York Post, this, along with an “impotency problem” and inability to find a wife, drew concern about his leadership capability from the elder Khamenei before his assassination.

The Post reports that US spy agencies believe Khamenei had a long-term sexual relationship with his childhood tutor, according to a tip from “one of the most protected sources that the [Iranian] government has.”

Trump is said to have laughed out loud when briefed by officials.

On Thursday evening, while making an appearance on Fox News’ The Five, host Jesse Watters asked Trump, “Did the CIA tell you that Ayatollah Jr. is gay?”

Trump responded, “They did say that.”

“A lot of people are saying that. Which puts them off to a bad start in that particular country, you know,” added Trump.

WATCH:

Per Newsweek:

President Donald Trump said Thursday that U.S. intelligence officials had briefed him on allegations circulating about Iran’s new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, remarks he made during an interview on Fox News’ The Five.

Asked by host Jesse Watters about a New York Post report published earlier this month regarding Khamenei’s sexual orientation, Trump said the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) had raised the issue with him but suggested the information was not limited to a single source. “They did say that (he is gay), but I don’t know if it was only them,” Trump said. “I think a lot of people are saying that, which puts him off to a bad start in that particular country.”

The New York Post reported March 16 that U.S. intelligence agencies believe Khamenei’s late father, former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, had concerns about his son’s suitability to lead Iran because of his personal life.

The tabloid cited unnamed sources who said U.S. intelligence assessed that Mojtaba Khamenei had a long‑term relationship with a man. U.S. intelligence agencies do not publicly comment on personal allegations involving foreign leaders.

The New York Post reported that when Trump was first briefed on the intel, he thought it was “hilarious.”

The outlet added that the 47th President laughed about it for days.

President Trump, later in the interview, noted, “No Republicans got the gay vote as I did. I’m very proud of it.”
