Donald Trump said that Jeff Bezos fretted to him about the Washington Post’s newsroom employees being “out of control.”

Trump said in an interview, “He said, ‘This is crazy, I lose my fortune running this thing and they, you know, they’re out of control.”

Fox News reported:

President Donald Trump said in a new interview he was optimistic about his working relationship with Jeff Bezos as well as the future of the Washington Post, claiming Bezos had even disparaged the newspaper’s staffers to him.

“They actually did a couple of bad articles on him (Bezos),” Trump said in an interview with OutKick’s Clay Travis. “He said, ‘This is crazy, I lose my fortune running this thing and they (Post newsroom employees), you know, they’re out of control.’ These people are crazy. They’re crazy people. They’re out of control.”

“(Bezos is) a good guy,” Trump added. “I didn’t really know him in the first term. I mean, it’s such a difference between now and the first time.”

Jeff Bezos previously announced a change to the Washington Post’s opinion pages.

They will now be writing to support “personal liberties and free markets.”

Post On X:

I shared this note with the Washington Post team this morning:

I’m writing to let you know about a change coming to our opinion pages.

We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets. We’ll cover other topics too of course, but viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others.

There was a time when a newspaper, especially one that was a local monopoly, might have seen it as a service to bring to the reader’s doorstep every morning a broad-based opinion section that sought to cover all views. Today, the internet does that job.

I am of America and for America, and proud to be so. Our country did not get here by being typical. And a big part of America’s success has been freedom in the economic realm and everywhere else. Freedom is ethical — it minimizes coercion — and practical — it drives creativity, invention, and prosperity.

I offered David Shipley, whom I greatly admire, the opportunity to lead this new chapter. I suggested to him that if the answer wasn’t “hell yes,” then it had to be “no.” After careful consideration, David decided to step away. This is a significant shift, it won’t be easy, and it will require 100% commitment — I respect his decision. We’ll be searching for a new Opinion Editor to own this new direction.

I’m confident that free markets and personal liberties are right for America. I also believe these viewpoints are underserved in the current market of ideas and news opinion. I’m excited for us together to fill that void.

Is Jeff Bezos going to fix the Washington Post?

Tom Homan announced that ICE arrested 370 illegal aliens in Boston and the surrounding areas.

Homan said, “A majority of the 370 being significant criminals. These arrests included 6 foreign fugitives, including four who were wanted for murder or to serve a criminal sentence for murder, along with drug traffickers, child sexual predators and numerous other violent public safety threats.”

Post on X:

I made a promise at CPAC that I was going to Boston after reading about numerous illegal alien child rapists walking the streets of Boston and Massachusetts. ICE had to find and arrest these illegal alien rapists because Massachusetts and Boston are sanctuaries that refuse to cooperate with ICE. They would rather release these animals back into the community rather than honor ICE detainers or notify ICE when they are scheduled to be released. Mayor Wu later testified that I was lying. Well, I traveled to Boston last Tuesday, as promised, and we kicked off a five day operation with ICE, FBI, ATF, DEA, US Marshals and DSS. These incredible men and women arrested a total of 370
Illegal aliens in Boston and surrounding areas. A majority of the 370 being significant criminals. These arrests included 6 foreign fugitives, including four who were wanted for murder or to serve a criminal sentence for murder, along with drug traffickers, child sexual predators and numerous other violent public safety threats. These officers and agents made the neighborhoods of Boston and Massachusetts much safer. They risked their own safety by arresting these criminals on the street, rather than a jail. Governor Healy and Mayor Wu should be ashamed of supporting sanctuary policies. Releasing public safety threats back into the public, rather than working with ICE at the jails, puts the public at great risk. President Trump’s “all of government effort” to arrest and remove the WORST FiRST is making our communities safer every day. President Trump is a Game Changer who is keeping his promises to the American people. Much more to do, but it will be done!

Will Trump’s “Great Gain” crypto event be the best time to get rich in American history?

For years, crypto’s been playing defense against a regulatory onslaught.

But under President Trump?

It’s a brand-new day.

The anti-crypto army just got its marching orders: Retreat.

There’s a time to be cautious and there’s a time to read the room.

BlackRock doesn’t throw a billion dollars at something for fun.

The betting markets don’t nail predictions by accident.

And markets don’t usually give you this many flashing neon signs saying, “THIS IS THE BIG ONE.”

Two factors – I call them “wealth drivers” – are about to collide.

One of them is America’s first pro-crypto President taking office.

This is the second wealth driver.

When both factors come together by April 19

I predict one specific investment could see gains up to 12,000%…

Over just 12 months.

That would turn a $900 stake into more than $108,000 in new wealth.

Usha Vance and Trump’s national security adviser Michael Waltz will be heading to Greenland.

Vance will be part of the U.S. delegation visiting “historic sites” and “learn about Greenlandic heritage.”

AP reported:

Second lady Usha Vance plans a trip to Greenland, at a time when President Donald Trump has suggested the United States should take control over the self-governing, mineral-rich territory of American ally Denmark.

Vance will leave on Thursday and return Saturday, according to her office. Vance and one of her three children will be part of a U.S. delegation that will “visit historic sites” and “learn about Greenlandic heritage.”

Media outlets in Greenland and Denmark reported that Vance would be accompanied by Trump’s national security adviser, Mike Waltz. The White House and the National Security Council did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Waltz is expected to be touring a U.S. military base.

New York Times reported:

Separately, Michael Waltz, the national security adviser, is expected to tour a U.S. military base, two U.S. officials said. Chris Wright, the energy secretary, is expected to join him, according to another person with knowledge of the visit, as the Trump administration increases its focus on Arctic security and the Western Hemisphere.

These visits come as the Trump administration continues their push to acquire Greenland.

Over 10,000 military troops have been deployed to the border in less than three months.

Trump issued multiple executive orders in his first week in office to secure the border.

Just The News reported:

Within less than three months of President Donald Trump being in office, more than 10,000 U.S. military troops have been deployed to support southern border security efforts.

On his first day and week in office, he issued multiple executive orders to secure the southwest border, including a Department of Defense directive for the United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) to “seal the borders and maintain the sovereignty, territorial integrity, and security of the United States by repelling forms of invasion including unlawful mass migration, narcotics trafficking, human smuggling and trafficking, and other criminal activities.”

Within 36 hours of his order being issued, an initial 1,500 U.S. troops were deployed to the southwest border, bringing the total to 4,000 troops, including 2,500 reservists already there.

Border apprehensions have plunged under Donald Trump’s administration.

Axios reported:

Driving the news: Border Patrol recorded around 8,300 apprehensions of migrants who crossed the border unlawfully between ports of entry in February, according to the data obtained by Axios.

In January, according to CBP statistics, Border Patrol recorded some 29,100 encounters, down from around 47,300 the month prior.

The February numbers are the lowest recorded since FY 2000, the earliest year of monthly data publicly accessible.

There were over 130,000 encounters in both February 2023 and 2024.

Donald Trump is securing the border.

Take a look at this map…

On the surface, it seems ordinary.

But what if I told you, it’s worth $150 trillion? (Yes, trillion, with a “T.”)

What makes this map so special?

As you’ll see, it points the way to a 15-figure fortune held by the Federal Government.

We were shown this map by former Presidential Advisor, Jim Rickards, one of the most politically connected men in America.

Rickards has spent his fifty-year career in the innermost circles of the U.S. government and banking.

And he believes Trump could soon release this frozen asset to the public.

He says, “When it happens… it could alter the course of America, forever.”

Jim calls this stash of frozen assets our “national endowment.”

For good reason. If you divide this figure by the number of households in America, each family would receive $1.1 million.

But something even more spectacular is bound to happen. And those who know what to expect could make a potential fortune.

Joe Biden wants to help the Democrats again.

According to a report from NBC, “Former President Joe Biden has told some Democratic leaders he’ll raise funds, campaign and do anything else necessary for Democrats to recover lost ground.”

NBC reported:

Former President Joe Biden has told some Democratic leaders he’ll raise funds, campaign and do anything else necessary for Democrats to recover lost ground as the Trump administration rolls back programs the party helped design, according to people close to him.

Biden privately met last month with the new Democratic National Committee chairman, Ken Martin, and offered to help as the party struggles to regain its viability amid polling that shows its popularity has been sinking, the people said.

Former Biden administration aides blasted the Bidens over this.

One former senior White House adviser said, “The Bidens are still living in an alternative universe that revolves only around them.”

New York Post reported:

Recent public polling shows Democrats’ support has cratered, with less than one-third of Americans approving of the party’s performance since President Trump returned to the White House Jan. 20.

“The Bidens are still living in an alternative universe that revolves only around them,” a onetime senior White House adviser told The Post in response to the NBC report.

“Their irresponsibility, family ego and selfishness put the Democratic Party in this position in the first place … The Biden family — and the disconnected reality that they and their ineffective little circle live in — is responsible for the Trump sequel and the wilderness the Democratic Party finds itself in today,” this person said.

“Why?” asked another former Biden administration official. “That is my first question.”

Even the Democrats don’t want Biden’s help.

Donald Trump took to Truth Social to demand an apology from Maine governor Janet Mills.

Trump said, “While the State of Maine has apologized for their Governor’s strong, but totally incorrect, statement…we have not heard from the Governor herself, and she is the one that matters in such cases.”

He also added, “we need a full throated apology from the Governor herself, and a statement that she will never make such an unlawful challenge to the Federal Government again, before this case can be settled.”

Truth Social:

While the State of Maine has apologized for their Governor’s strong, but totally incorrect, statement about men playing in women’s sports while at the White House House Governor’s Conference, we have not heard from the Governor herself, and she is the one that matters in such cases. Therefore, we need a full throated apology from the Governor herself, and a statement that she will never make such an unlawful challenge to the Federal Government again, before this case can be settled. I’m sure she will be able to do that quite easily. Thank you for your attention to this matter and, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!! DJT

The University of Maine System is now complying with the Trump administration’s order barring trans-identifying men from competing in women’s sports.

Daily Wire reported:

A statement from the United States Department of Agriculture said that the University of Maine System (UMaine) will follow the Trump administration’s order barring trans-identifying men from competing in women’s sports after university funding was paused amid the state’s continued refusal to comply, Fox News reported.

“After the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) initiated a Title IX compliance review regarding federal funding, the University of Maine System (UMaine) has clearly communicated its compliance with Title IX’s requirement to protect equal opportunities for women and girls to compete in safe and fair sports, as articulated in President Donald J. Trump’s Executive Order,” the USDA statement read.

“Any false claim by the UMaine can, and will, result in onerous and even potentially criminal financial liability,” it added.

Another win for the Trump administration. 

The husband of former Democrat congresswoman Cori Bush has been indicted on wire fraud.

The DOJ said in a statement, “Cortney Merritts…was charged today by federal indictment with two counts of wire fraud for allegedly filing fraudulent applications with the Small Business Administration in 2020 and 2021 that allowed him to collect more than $20,000 in government funds under the Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program (EIDL) and Paycheck Protection Program (PPP).”

Press Release from Justice.gov:

WASHINGTON – Cortney Merritts, 46, of St. Louis, Missouri, was charged today by federal indictment with two counts of wire fraud for allegedly filing fraudulent applications with the Small Business Administration in 2020 and 2021 that allowed him to collect more than $20,000 in government funds under the Economic Injury Disaster Loan Program (EIDL) and Paycheck Protection Program (PPP).

The indictment was announced by U.S. Attorney Edward Martin Jr., Special Agent in Charge Amaleka McCall Brathwaite of the Eastern Region for the Small Business Administration (SBA) Office of the Inspector General, and FBI Special Agent in Charge Sean Ryan of the Washington Field Office Criminal and Cyber Division.

According to the indictment, on July 7, 2020, Merritts received an $8,500 EIDL loan from the SBA for a moving business he operated that he called Vetted Couriers. In the application he submitted for Vetted Couriers, Merritts certified that his business had six employees and had generated $32,000 in gross revenue between January 30, 2019 and January 30, 2020.

On July 8, 2020, Merritts submitted another application to the SBA for an EIDL loan in the name of a sole proprietorship he called “Courtney Merritts.” In this EIDL application, Merritts fraudulently claimed to have a business that employed ten people and generated $53,000 in gross revenue between January 30, 2019 and January 30, 2020. In addition to an EIDL loan, Merritts also requested an EIDL advance of up to $10,000 based on his false claim that he had 10 employees. The SBA rejected Merritts’ attempt to obtain additional EIDL funds after determining that his July 2020 application was nearly identical to the prior one he submitted.

The indictment further alleges that on April 22, 2021, Merritts applied for a PPP loan in the name of a sole proprietorship he called “Cortney Merritts.” Merritts fraudulently claimed in this application that he had created this business in 2020 and that it had generated $128,000 in gross income that year. Based on Merritts’ representations about his gross income, Merritts received a $20,832 PPP loan. Merritts used the proceeds for his personal benefit and enjoyment. In July 2022, Merritts submitted a loan forgiveness application in which he falsely claimed that this business had 10 employees at the time of the PPP loan, and that he spent the $20,832 on payroll costs. Based on Merritts’ alleged fraudulent representations, the SBA forgave the PPP loan in the amount of $20,832 and the $254.03 in interest.

This case is being investigated by Small Business Administration Office of the Inspector General and the FBI Washington Field Office. It is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Joshua Rothstein and Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Rami Sibay.

An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

Dem Rep. Cori Bush lost in the primary last year.

Free Beacon reported:

Bush represented St. Louis before suffering a primary loss last year that she blamed on the Jews. She was a member of the far-left “Squad” that includes Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) and Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.). She refused to call Hamas a terrorist group and was one of two House members to vote against a resolution to ban Hamas terrorists from entering the United States.

An investigation into Cori Bush was launched in January of 2024 after hiring her husband as security.

Donald Trump called out the media for a story regarding Elon Musk and China.

Trump said, “The Fake News is at it again, this time the Failing New York Times. They said, incorrectly, that Elon Musk is going to the Pentagon tomorrow to be briefed on any potential “war with China.”

Trump called the New York Times “one of the worst and most purposely inaccurate newspapers anywhere in the World” over the report.

Truth Social:

The Fake News is at it again, this time the Failing New York Times. They said, incorrectly, that Elon Musk is going to the Pentagon tomorrow to be briefed on any potential “war with China.” How ridiculous?” China will not even be mentioned or discussed. How disgraceful it is that the discredited media can make up such lies. Anyway, the story is completely untrue!!!

…

“Elon Musk will be briefed by the Pentagon about the USA’s top secret plans against China should there be a War,”according to the Failing New York Times, one of the worst and most purposely inaccurate newspapers anywhere in the World. Their FAKE concept for this story is that because Elon does some business in China, that he is very conflicted and would immediately go to top Chinese officials and “spill the beans.” RATINGS CHALLENGED FAKE NEWS CNN immediately picked up on this absolutely ridiculous and false story, which is probably libelous, and went heavy with it. Fortunately, nobody was watching! Maggot Hagerman, the really dumb “scammer” who constantly writes about me for the Times, using anonymous, made up (nonexistent!) sources, and who I haven’t spoken to in ages, is a big part of the Scam. She lead the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, only to realize that she was duped and got it wrong. She owes me a totally discredited Pulitzer Prize for her bad reporting. The Fake News is the ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE…And Elon is NOT BEING BRIEFED ON ANYTHING CHINA BY THE DEPARTMENT OF WAR!!!

The report cites anonymous sources claiming Musk was attending a briefing that included 20 to 30 slides on how the US would fight a war against China.

Yahoo News reported:

A U.S. official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the briefing for Musk would be attended by senior U.S. military officials in the Pentagon and would be an overview on a number of different topics, including China.

According to the New York Times report, the briefing would include 20 to 30 slides that lay out how the United States would fight in a conflict with China. The newspaper cited two U.S. officials it did not identify.

Access to the closely guarded military plan would mark a sharp expansion of Musk’s role as a Trump adviser who has spearheaded efforts to cut U.S. government spending.

It would also fuel questions about conflicts of interest for Musk, who as the head of Tesla and SpaceX has business interests in China and with the Pentagon.

The media continues to push fake news!
