Trump SLASHES Education Department amid poor scores and LGBTQ+ agenda



Conservatives have been toying with the idea of abolishing the Department of Education for decades, but President Donald Trump is the one finally taking action.

“In a few moments, I will sign an executive order to begin eliminating the Federal Department of Education once and for all,” President Trump said in an address to the American people.

Terry Schilling, president of the American Principles Project, couldn’t be more thrilled with the president’s action.

“We’ve seen educational progress not just stall, it’s going backwards. Fifty percent of every dollar goes to administration costs. The Department of Education hasn’t helped us educate our children or, you know, get more people to the moon or expand America’s abilities,” Schilling tells Christopher Bedford on “Blaze News Tonight.”


“And only, by the way, a third of our kids can read at grade level, do math at grade level. It’s absolutely appalling,” he adds, noting that regardless of the facts, many Americans are unhappy with the president’s move.

“What a lot of Americans don’t understand is that when the Department of Education gives out money, every dollar has a string attached to it. You accept this dollar here, well, you have to start a new counseling program or an anti-bullying program or some type of after-school Satan club,” Schilling explains.

“The biggest losers in this executive order are the administrators, the superintendents, the school boards,” he continues, including those who have been instituting “new LGBTQ+ reading book programs.”

Not only that, but the Biden administration weaponized school boards against parents.

“If you’re a parent that shows up at a school board meeting under the Biden administration, you get investigated as a domestic terrorist for voicing your First Amendment rights about your own children, about your own children getting sexually assaulted in the bathroom where the school covers it up,” Schilling says.

“That is how bad the Department of Education got,” he continues, “to where the school boards were actually protecting the corrupt, protecting the abusers, and that’s one of the reasons why it’s so important to get rid of this thing and return power back to the parents and back to the states.”

Communist China's plan for Taiwan — Trump NEEDS to prepare for THIS



The fight over Taiwan may be all talk right now, but Mark Levin of “LevinTV” is well aware that the small island off the coast of China is an inevitable flashpoint due to its location.

And in a recent segment on DW News, it was explained why the United States and China “can’t quit Taiwan.”

“In some ways, Taiwan’s strategic importance is about three choke points around the island to the West. There’s the Taiwan strait,” the narrator explained. “It’s a key trade route for both Beijing and Taiwan and also for everybody else.”

The world’s biggest container ships pass through the strait. And to the north is the Miyako strait, which runs through Taiwan and several Japanese islands. To the south is the Bashi strait.

These straits are China’s “key strategic gateways to the Pacific Ocean.” Meanwhile, the United States has military bases sprinkled near the border of China — and surrounding Taiwan.


“Now, the next question is what can we do about this.” Levin says. “With each passing year, less and less.”

“We’re building up our military presence there; we’re also strengthening our alliances there. But we’re not building it up to a point that they’re going to be able to rebuff China. China’s going to surround them. They’re going to choke them off economically. This is my prediction as the first of their strategy,” Levin explains.

“Surround them, choke them off, and then warn the United States or anybody else, ‘You fly planes over there, you drop them anything, we’ll shoot you out of the sky.’ I mean, they’re right next to China, you can see.”

“They will bombard it. They will attack it. They’re planning and planning and planning on this. Now, the Taiwanese are tough people. They have a strong little military — but nothing compared to what’s being built to attack them,” he continues, noting that now that Donald Trump has been elected, the plan could change.

“Obviously, they didn’t act while Biden was president because I don’t think they’re in a position to do so. Why? Because their economy sucks right now,” he explains. “But it’ll be back. And so what happens if they do attack Taiwan when Donald Trump is president?”

“I think they’ll suffer economically. In other ways too,” he adds.

Trump's $354M fraud verdict: Election play or justice?



Former President Donald Trump claims to be politically persecuted more than any other former president in America — and after the $354 million fraud verdict against him, it seems he’s probably right.

The penalty will exceed $450 million, and the New York attorney general keeps claiming she may seize Trump’s assets if he can’t pay the $354 million fine.

The mainstream media is having a field day with the verdict, even though there was no victim in the case levied against him.

“Now we know that there was no victim here, and that’s a key part of this story,” Stu Burguiere explains. “It’s not like a situation where he lied to the bank.”

Trump didn’t lie to the bank, and the bank wasn’t hurt in the process. Trump allegedly did, however, lie about how much his properties were valued at.

“Now, the banks themselves say, ‘Well, actually we do our own checking on that. We check to see if these values are right, we look at them ourselves. Everybody makes up values that, you know, we’re not comfortable with. But we gave him the loan because we thought he was a good risk,’” Stu says, breaking it down to the simplest terms.

Which is why Stu knows that New York AG Letitia James isn’t going after Donald Trump because it legally makes sense to go after Donald Trump but rather because she hates him.

“This was her campaign promise, to go after Donald Trump really with any means necessary. So that’s what she’s doing,” he says.
