VIDEO: Ilhan Omar flings expletives at reporter over very benign question on immigration



Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota fired off an expletive at a reporter after being asked a very benign question about immigration enforcement.

Omar appeared to be upset at a Daily Caller reporter for asking her opinion on Democrats appearing to back off on trips to El Salvador as a form of protest against the immigration enforcement policies of President Donald Trump.

'Defenders of the president's policies say critics are animated by the desire to end all deportations of any illegal aliens.'

Democrats have charged that the Trump administration has violated the due process rights of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran man who was deported from Maryland after the administration determined that he was a member of the violent MS-13 gang.

Some Democrats have flown to El Salvador to seek Garcia's release from the terrorist prison, but so far their demands have been rebuffed by the president of El Salvador. When asked if the trips should continue, Omar fired off a profanity.

“Do you think more of your Democratic colleagues should be traveling to El Salvador to advocate on behalf of Abrego Garcia?” asked Myles Morell.

“I think you should f**k off,” the congresswoman replied.

“I’m sorry, what, congresswoman?” Morell said.

“You should f**k off," she repeated. "You."

The controversy has led to a feud between Democrats, the courts, and the Trump administration. Democrats accuse the president of acting unconstitutionally, while the administration has suggested it will ignore rulings from the judicial branch that it deems as violating the separation of powers.

Defenders of the president's policies say critics are animated by the desire to end all deportations of any illegal aliens in the U.S. Garcia's supporters point to an admission in court from the government's lawyers that he was deported over a clerical error to argue that he should be returned to the U.S.

To complicate the debate, more and more revelations have surfaced to bolster the accusation from the government that Garcia was indeed a gang member.

Here's the video of Omar's insults:

Miller teases tariff talks amid ongoing trade war: 'China is a unique situation'



During Thursday morning's press briefing, top White House official Stephen Miller told Blaze News senior politics editor Christopher Bedford that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was "in the process" of developing his plan to address the ongoing trade war with China.

At this point, the United States has imposed a 145% tariff on Chinese imports, and China has reciprocated with a 125% tariff on American imports. As market uncertainty lingers, Miller reassured reporters that the administration is working toward a trade deal with China that is advantageous to Americans.

'The secretary of the treasury is in the process of developing a plan that will answer the questions that you're talking about, but the president's goals have been very clear on these points.'

DC Correspondent @CBedfordDC: "What is the end goal of the China tariffs right now?"@StephenM: "China is a unique situation, but the president's goals have been very clear. We need to have a trade relationship that does not harm our nation's economic and national security." pic.twitter.com/sUf4g0DB2b
— TheBlaze (@theblaze) May 1, 2025

"China is a unique situation, obviously," Miller told Bedford. "The president has talked at length about what happened to us economically since China's entrance into the World Trade Organization, and the trillions and trillions of dollars of trade deficits that we racked up with China over the period of that time and what that's meant for our national security, what that's meant for economic security, what that's meant for our supply chains."

"Obviously right now, the secretary of the treasury is in the process of developing a plan that will answer the questions that you're talking about, but the president's goals have been very clear on these points," Miller added.

Although tariffs have been a source of criticism from political and media adversaries, Miller maintains that the trade war will be settled in a way that ultimately benefits the United States.

"[President Trump] is not going to allow China to continue to steal our intellectual property, to continue to illegally dump and subsidize their goods in our markets, to manipulate their currency, to rack up an unsustainable trade deficit," Miller said.

"We need to have a trade relationship with China that does not do harm to our nation's economic and national security, and that has to be the guidepost of any objective," Miller added. "At the same time, tariffs will bring significant revenue into this country that will allow us to pursue our dramatic plan of tax cuts and reforms."

Tim Walz nailed with brutal mockery after saying he was chosen for VP to 'code talk' to white guys



Kamala Harris' former running mate, Tim Walz, revealed that he was chosen for the 2024 Democrat presidential ticket so that he could "code talk" to white guys.

The bizarre admission was mocked to oblivion online after the Minnesota governor made the revelation during an interview at the Harvard Kennedy School Institute of Politics on Monday.

'There are so many white guys in this country to choose from and she picked flamboyant femme Elmer Fudd.'

"I knew I was on the ticket, I would argue, because we did a lot of amazing progressive things in Minnesota that improved people's lives, but I also was on the ticket, quite honestly, you know, 'cause I could code talk to white guys watching football, fixing their truck, doing that," said Walz to some laughter from the audience.

"That I could put them at ease. I was the permission structure to say, 'Look, you can do this and vote for this,' and you look across those swing states — with the exception of Minnesota, we didn't get enough," he added.

Walz was mocked and ridiculed by those who found it ludicrous that he was chosen as outreach to white males.

"Because nothing screams blue-collar masculinity like Tim Walz — who looks like he calls AAA when the check engine light comes on," said Texas Rep. Wesley Hunt (R).

"If Tim Walz was brought onto the Kamala Harris campaign to 'cold-talk [sic] to white guys,' then it’s puzzling why they muzzled him from doing interviews for most of a 107-day presidential race," responded pollster Frank Luntz.

"There are so many white guys in this country to choose from and she picked flamboyant femme Elmer Fudd," read another response.

"Hahahahahahaha that’s why only gay white men and single mother wine alcoholics liked them," said another critic.

"It was, frankly, just too much testosterone in one man for many of us to handle," joked John Ekdahl.

"This was a bit of a category error by Harris. TimWalz did speak to whiteguys, but only flamboyant heterosexuals such as myself," joked anonymous online personality Jarvis Best. "On the one hand, I was flattered — you don't see too many of us flamboheteros on the national stage. But I understand why he didn't move the needle."

Walz made headlines in March after he publicly cheered the slide in Tesla's stock value before getting obliterated by Elon Musk on social media.

Here's the video of the comments from Walz:

Chuck Todd rages against 'stupid' accusation that media covered up Biden's mental decline: 'They didn't miss this story!'



Chuck Todd went on a rant about the "stupid" accusation against the media that they covered up the mental decline of former President Joe Biden and blamed Democrats instead.

The former NBC News host was speaking with journalist Chris Cillizza when he suddenly and angrily railed against critics who accused the media of colluding with Democrats to deceive the American public about Biden's deterioration at the end of his term.

'There are MSNBC and CNN and pundits that absolutely carried water for Joe Biden. But they’re not journalists! They’re former strategists!'

“This is not a media failure,” Todd said. “This was a failure of the Democratic party. And ... the virtue signaling that some people have done to try to say that the media missed this story — they didn’t miss this story!

Todd cited one journalist's critique of the party for choosing Biden and continued on his rant.

"The media’s got plenty of things to attack them for. And there are MSNBC and CNN and pundits that absolutely carried water for Joe Biden. But they’re not journalists! They’re former strategists that carried water for Joe Biden!" he yelled.

He went on to say that the incident did not compare to the media debacle that led to the invasion of Iraq under the Bush presidency, which he did admit was a media failure.

"That was a press failure! Massive press failure! This was not that failure!" he yelled.

"This is an attempt by some to virtue signal, and it's this horrible sort of pitting different news organizations against each other," Todd concluded, "when ultimately, the people at fault are Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Jill Biden, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, every elected member of Congress!"

Here's the video of Todd's tirade:

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson asks absurd question during arguments over LGBTQ books in public school libraries



Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was lambasted by critics online for a strange question she asked during arguments over parents rejecting controversial books in public schools.

The lawsuit accused the Montgomery County Board of Education in Maryland of violating the religious rights of parents with students in the school district. They objected to books that included transgender and gay characters being taught to their children.

'I'm struggling to see how it burdens a parent's religious exercise if the school teaches something that the parents disagrees with.'

The parents, which included Muslim and Christian Orthodox adherents, asked for an opt-out for their children from any exposure to the left-wing content, but they were denied by the district.

Attorneys for the parents argued that the school district was “compelling instruction designed to indoctrinate petitioners’ children against their religious beliefs."

While most court watchers agreed that the court appeared to be sympathetic to the parents' demands, one liberal justice appeared to be critical of the argument in favor of parental rights. Jackson simply said that parents had the option to pull their children out of school if they didn't like the curriculum.

"I guess I'm struggling to see how it burdens a parent's religious exercise if the school teaches something that the parent disagrees with," she added. "You have a choice. You don't have to send your kid to that school. You can put them in another situation. You can homeschool them. How is it a burden on the parent if they have the option to send their kid elsewhere?"

Video of her comments went viral on social media, where many disagreed with the position.

"You're forced through your tax dollars to fund education you fundamentally disagree with for everyone else's children and now incur the costs of educating your children on top of that instead of being granted a quite simple accommodation. Wow. Just wow," read one popular post.

"I shouldn’t have to invoke a religious exemption for simply wanting to protect my child’s innocence while they’re still in preschool or grade school," said another user.

"I'm sure she did NOT mean for the Parents to put their kids in 'another situation' and stop paying their school taxes," said another.

Other snippets from the hearing led many to suspect that the court would rule on the side of parents asking for an opt-out.

Justice Amy Coney Barrett opined that the books didn't merely assert the existence of LGBTQ people but included advocacy on the part of the LGBTQ agenda.

"It's not just exposure to the idea, right?" she said. "It's saying this is the right view of the world. This is how we think about things. This is how you should think about things. This is like 2 plus 2 is 4."

The ruling is due by the end of June.

Here's the video of Brown's comments:

Pete Hegseth berates mainstream media at Easter Egg Roll over latest hit job: 'Not gonna work with me'



Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth ripped into the mainstream media while attending the Easter Egg Roll at the White House on Monday.

Hegseth was responding to a report first published by the New York Times that he had sent information about a future military strike on the Houthi terrorist group to a Signal group chat with his wife, his brother, and a personal lawyer. The accusation came after a similarly embarrassing leak to the editor in chief of the Atlantic.

'We're changing the Defense Department, putting the Pentagon back in the hands of warfighters, and anonymous smears from disgruntled former employees on old news doesn't matter.'

Hegseth lambasted the media while speaking outside the White House to reporters about the leak.

“This is what the media does. They take anonymous sources from disgruntled former employees, and then they try to slash and burn people and ruin their reputations," said Hegseth.

"Not gonna work with me because we're changing the Defense Department, putting the Pentagon back in the hands of warfighters, and anonymous smears from disgruntled former employees on old news doesn't matter," he added. "So I'm happy to be here at the Easter Egg Roll with my dad and my kids, because this is what we're doing it for."

He went on to point to all the reporters and deride them as "hoaxsters."

Hegseth's brother and his personal attorney are both employees at the Pentagon, but his wife is not, according to the report.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt defended Hegseth from the accusations.

“This is what happens when the entire Pentagon is working against you and working against the monumental change you are trying to implement,” she said.

When President Donald Trump was asked about the Hegseth leaks, he responded with support for the defense secretary.

“He’s doing a great job — ask the Houthis how he’s doing,” Trump said to reporters after the Easter Egg Roll.

Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell also criticized the media and downplayed the incident.

“Another day, another old story — back from the dead. The Trump-hating media continues to be obsessed with destroying anyone committed to President Trump’s agenda,” he wrote on social media.

National security adviser Mike Waltz admitted that he had accidentally added Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor in chief of the Atlantic, to the first Houthi strike Signal group, and while some called for his resignation, he continues to serve at the Defense Department.

Here's video of Hegseth's comments:

Majority of Americans support deportation of all illegal immigrants



The Trump administration published a CNN polling analysis that found more and more Americans support the deportation of all illegal immigrants in the U.S.

Critics of the administration are accusing President Donald Trump of violating due process rights and other legal protections in his pursuit of the mass deportations he promised during the 2024 presidential campaign.

'A majority of Americans, in fact when they're asked this blunt question which I believe gets at the underlying feelings, do in fact want to deport all immigrants who are here illegally.'

What is clear from the polling analysis by CNN's Harry Enten is that a majority of Americans support deportations after a period of lax border policies that allowed millions of migrants to illegally enter the U.S.

Four separate polls found deportation support ranging from 55% from the New York Times poll to 64% in a Marquette poll.

"So what you're seeing essentially here is a very clear indication that a majority of Americans, in fact when they're asked this blunt question which I believe gets at the underlying feelings, do in fact want to deport all immigrants who are here illegally," Enten explained. "There's no arguing with these different numbers because they're all essentially the same across four different pollsters!"

Enten went on to show that support for lesser levels of immigration had increased from 38% in 2016 to an astounding 56% in 2025.

More recent polling shows that the support for Trump’s deportation policies continues to be popular, with about 53% supporting them after two months of seeing the policies in action.

The segment first aired in January, after which Enten posted the video to his official social media account on the X platform.

Here's the video of Enten's analysis:

VIDEO: Jasmine Crockett says Americans are uneducated about the work illegal immigrants do: 'We done pickin' cotton!'



Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas suggested that Americans have no clue about the work that immigrants do and appeared to compare modern farm work to slavery.

Crockett made the comments at a historically black church while criticizing President Donald Trump's enforcement of immigration policies that included mass deportation. The Grace Baptist Church was celebrating its 125th anniversary of serving congregants in Connecticut.

'You're not! You're not! We done pickin' cotton! We are. You can't pay us enough to find a plantation!'

"So I had to go around the country and educate people about what immigrants do for this country, or the fact that we are a country of immigrants. The fact is ain’t none of y’all trying to go and farm right now!" she told the congregants.

"OK, so I'm lying? Raise your hands!" she continued when the congregants sat quietly. "You're not! You're not! We done pickin' cotton! We are. You can't pay us enough to find a plantation!"

"I know that's right!" replied one person.

Her bizarre comments were posted to social media, where they quickly went viral. One post garnered more than 1.2 million views in just a few hours.

Some commentators were upset with Crockett for undermining the history of black farmers in the U.S.

Crockett has made headlines with her propensity for making outrageous and inappropriate comments. She appeared to scold a black politician for marrying a white woman, mocked Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for being handicapped, and claimed that Democrats needed to dumb down their messaging to reach out to Republican voters.

"What is happening? Like, this is not America! This is a terrible nightmare!" she famously said in comments on video. "Somebody slap me and wake me the f**k up, 'cuz I'm ready to get on with it!"

Here's the video of Crockett's comments:

RFK Jr. tells Blaze Media he's creating a new food pyramid and will improve school food standards



Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Blaze Media that his office is working on a new food pyramid of nutritional recommendations and changing standards in school food preparation.

Kennedy was being interviewed by BlazeTV host Sara Gonzalez of "Sara Gonzales Unfiltered" when he said that the Biden administration had implemented unworkable nutrition standards that he was working to update.

'We want a three-page document that essentially says you should be eating whole foods.'

"We're doing that right now," said Kennedy. "When we came in, the Biden administration had created new nutrition guidelines, but they were unworkable, and they were supposed go into effect Jan. 20. I asked President Trump to give us permission to kick the ball down to March."

Kennedy has been known for criticizing food production and advocating for a return to whole foods rather than mass-produced food that is less healthy.

"The document that we got from the Biden administration was 453 pages long. Oh, it's completely useless to a mother or to a school. And what I said is, 'We want a three-page document that essentially says you should be eating whole foods,'" Kennedy continued.

"And give the schools the option of getting those whole foods locally. So that you're not dictating exactly what the diet is, but you're dictating broad categories and saying these are the kinds of things — we don't want a lot of plastic packaging, we want hot foods that are hopefully made on site," he added.

"We should have nutritionists in every school in this country like they do in Japan and in other nations that are supervising the food production and the nutrition of those kids and have much healthier kids," he concluded. "We need to make this investment in our children."

Kennedy had previously told Gonzales that he was working on cutting down the waste in the department in order to make it far more lean and efficient.

Here's the video of Kennedy's comments:

NPR CEO admits failing to report Hunter Biden laptop story in grueling testimony before Congress



While being interrogated by members of Congress Wednesday, the CEO of National Public Radio admitted that the outlet made mistakes in the reporting of the Hunter Biden laptop scandal.

Katherine Maher was grilled by Republican House members of the Delivering on Government Efficiency subcommittee, who accused NPR of biased reporting while on the public dime.

'NPR is propaganda. People that listen to NPR are totally misinformed on the truth.'

Maher admitted that NPR should have been more aggressive about covering the scandalous story that broke just ahead of the 2020 presidential election and could have tipped the scales against then-candidate Joe Biden.

"I do want to say that NPR acknowledges we were mistaken in failing to cover the Hunter Biden laptop story more aggressively and sooner," said Maher to Republican Rep. Michael Cloud of Texas.

Cloud said that Maher had a history of promoting Marxist ideology, including critical race theory, and the transgender agenda. In another line of questioning from Republican Rep. Brandon Gill of Texas, Maher was made to answer for previous tweets that called America "addicted" to white supremacy and supported reparations.

Maher was also berated by Republican Rep. James Comer of Kentucky.

"NPR is propaganda. People that listen to NPR are totally misinformed on the truth," said Comer. "I have a problem with that because you get federal funds. You've abused the privilege that you had."

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting receives about $535 million in funding from the federal government, according to NPR. Only about 1% of NPR's $300 million annual operating budget comes from the federal government, while 36% of that budget comes from corporate underwriting spots.

Here's the video of Maher's comments before Congress:
