A new poll shows 92 percent of Trump voters are happy with their choice despite the legacy-media narrative that they regret it. A poll conducted by the Public Religion Research Institute found that 92 percent of Trump voters are pleased with their vote, while 95 percent of voters who chose Vice President Kamala Harris are […]DOGE isn’t dead — it’s growing beyond Elon Musk
Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk’s decision to scale back his role at the Department of Government Efficiency sparked the media frenzy we all expected.
Corporate media outlets wasted no time celebrating. They’ve declared the project dead, mocking the effort that has — by every metric — cut bureaucratic waste, exposed entrenched fraud, and disrupted the comfortable routine of Washington’s permanent class.
We didn’t come this far just to hand victory back to the bureaucrats.
In just 100 days, Musk brought more transparency and urgency to federal operations than most “public servants” manage in a career. Under his leadership, the DOGE slashed bloated budgets, shut down globalist slush funds like USAID, and launched investigations into waste across the Departments of Education, Social Security, and more.
DOGE isn’t just a project. It’s a movement. And it didn’t start with Elon Musk — it started when the American people sent Donald J. Trump back to the White House with a mandate to finish the job.
Voters didn’t re-elect Trump just for tough talk. They sent him to dismantle the unaccountable, tax-dollar-burning administrative state that’s grown fat off politics as usual. And the DOGE delivered.
Now, Musk reducing his hours doesn’t mean the mission is over. Far from it. The next phase requires every agency leader who believes in reform, every state and local official who sees the model working, and every grassroots patriot who wants real accountability to step up.
Ignore the media narrative. CNN, MSNBC, and the rest of the usual suspects are already spinning this as a defeat. They won’t say it out loud, but what they really hate is simple: Musk asked federal employees to justify their jobs.
He demanded answers. He forced Cabinet secretaries to make hard choices. That’s not chaos. That’s reform. And it scared the right people.
So now it’s up to us. Trump provided the mandate. Musk brought the firepower. The American people must now carry this momentum forward— to local government, to state agencies, and to every inch of federal bureaucracy still resisting change.
We didn’t come this far just to hand victory back to the bureaucrats. The real work is just beginning.
Mark Levin torches MSNBC for defending terrorist-supporter Mahmoud Khalil
There’s few things Mark Levin hates more than MSNBC, which he prefers to call MSLSD.
The liberal hacks who work there are specialists when it comes to “defense of the enemy,” he says. Their pearl clutching over the deportation of green card holder and Hamas-supporter Mahmoud Khalil is case and point.
Not only was Khalil a key leader in the pro-Hamas protests on Columbia’s campus, which involved vandalism and unrest, but he’s also a member of the group Columbia United Apartheid Divest — a vicious organization that supports terrorist events, including October 7, circulates Hamas propaganda, and calls for the total eradication of the West.
“They have direct communications in writing in a letter where the Iranian regime is thanking their group for their activities. They have information that was directly in the possession of Khalil and his group from Hamas,” says Levin.
Further, there’s evidence that CUAD changed its website language right before the October 7 attacks, leading many to believe that the group was privy to Hamas’ evil plans.
At this point, no one can deny that Khalil’s “connections to terrorism are real; they're substantive, they're recent, they're ongoing,” says Levin.
But that hasn’t stopped the radical left from painting him as a victim and using his case to “constitutionalize terrorism.”
On April 5, MSNBC legal analyst Melissa Murray argued that Khalil is “someone who is exercising First Amendment rights” and asked his lawyer, Baher Azmy, what his potential deportation means for “ordinary citizens.”
“When you're here on some immigration status, you're a guest in the United States of America,” says Levin. CUAD talks "about the overthrow of the United States and the West. Is that what ordinary citizens do?”
Azmy answered Murray's question by warning that “under the government's pretty chilling authoritarian logic, one could be arrested, detained, and deported if you're not a U.S. citizen simply because you disagree with the foreign policy objectives.”
“If you come here on a student visa and then all of a sudden you're a protester pushing and promoting riotous behavior on behalf of an enemy, I'm sorry, that's not protected,” Levin corrects.
“It's sickening beyond belief that American media ... allows this kind of propaganda to take place and, in fact, promotes this kind of propaganda.”

Trump as ‘deporter in chief’? The real numbers might shock you
Former MSNBC host Chris Matthews, in an interview with CNN’s Jim Acosta, compared Trump’s immigration policies to Adolf Hitler’s Holocaust. He claimed that Hitler didn’t bother with German law — he just hauled people off to death camps in Poland and Hungary. Apparently, that’s what Trump is doing now by deporting MS-13 gang members to El Salvador.
Symone Sanders took it a step further. The MSNBC host suggested that deporting gang-affiliated noncitizens is simply the first step toward deporting black Americans. I’ll wait while you try to do that math.
The debate is about control — weaponizing the courts, twisting language, and using moral panic to silence dissent.
Media mouthpieces like Sanders and Matthews are just the latest examples of the left’s Pavlovian tribalism when it comes to Trump and immigration. Just say the word “Trump,” and people froth at the mouth before they even hear the sentence. While the media cries “Hitler,” the numbers say otherwise. And numbers don’t lie — the narrative does.
Numbers don’t lie
The real “deporter in chief” isn’t Trump. It was President Bill Clinton, who sent back 12.3 million people during his presidency — 11.4 million returns and nearly 900,000 formal removals. President George W. Bush, likewise, presided over 10.3 million deportations — 8.3 million returns and two million removals. Even President Barack Obama, the progressive darling, oversaw 5.5 million deportations, including more than three million formal removals.
So how does Donald Trump stack up? Between 2017 and 2021, Trump deported somewhere between 1.5 million and two million people — dramatically fewer than Obama, Bush, or Clinton. In his current term so far, Trump has deported between 100,000 and 138,000 people. Yes, that’s assertive for a first term — but it's still fewer than Biden was deporting toward the end of his presidency.
The numbers simply don’t support the hysteria.
Who's the “dictator” here? Trump is deporting fewer people, with more legal oversight, and still being compared to history’s most reviled tyrant. Apparently, sending MS-13 gang members — violent criminals — back to their country of origin is now equivalent to genocide.
It’s not about immigration
This debate stopped being about immigration a long time ago. It’s now about control — about weaponizing the courts, twisting language, and using moral panic to silence dissent. It’s about turning Donald Trump into the villain of every story, facts be damned.
If the numbers mattered, we’d be having a very different national conversation. We’d be asking why Bill Clinton deported six times as many people as Trump and never got labeled a fascist. We’d be questioning why Barack Obama’s record-setting removals didn’t spark cries of ethnic cleansing. And we’d be wondering why Trump, whose enforcement was relatively modest by comparison, triggered lawsuits, media hysteria, and endless Nazi analogies.
But facts don’t drive this narrative. The villain does. And in this script, Trump plays the villain — even when he does far less than the so-called heroes who came before him.
