DID TRUMP CANCEL MLK DAY AND JUNETEENTH?
Headlines everywhere have been reporting that President Trump has cancelled Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth and made his birthday a holiday–is that fact or fiction? Let's debunk this.
Trump and his administration have altered fee-free days at National Parks throughout our country. What does Trump’s administration have to do with National Park fee-free days? Throughout the years, Independence Day (est. 1938), MLK Day (est. 1983), and Juneteenth (est. 2021) have become federal holidays.
Trump Calls Omar “Garbage” and Demands Deportation Amid Resurfaced Brother-Marriage Allegations
Rep. Ilhan Omar faces renewed allegations of marrying her brother to secure his U.S. citizenship, a claim resurfaced by a February 2025 Libs of TikTok post citing Daily Mail and sources in Minnesota's Somali community, amid documented immigration fraud in the area. The controversy persists, with President Trump labeling Omar "garbage" and advocating for her deportation, while critics suggest barring naturalized or foreign-born citizens from elected office. Further evidence may determine if these claims lead to legal action against her.
From Tariffs to Deregulation: Trump’s Conservative Blueprint—An analytical Review of Trump’s Presidency
Under Trump’s second term, the economy delivered ~3% real GDP growth, low unemployment, rising real wages, and stable 2% inflation—wins fiscal conservatives cheered. Aggressive tariffs, over 40 deregulatory executive actions, and the new Department of Government Efficiency shrank bureaucracy and protected U.S. industry, fulfilling America-First goals. While some traditionalists questioned the unilateral style, his bold moves unmistakably revived populist conservatism.
The Case for Mandatory Minimum Sentencing: Restoring Order by Prosecuting Petty Crime
The phrase "lock it or lose it" has become a frustratingly familiar saying in communities littered by petty crime. From shoplifting to car break-ins, these so-called minor offenses are eroding public safety and emboldening criminals. When thieves face little to no consequence, the message is clear: crime pays! The failure to prosecute petty crimes is a dangerous thing that undermines trust in our justice system.
It’s time to reverse this trend with mandatory minimum sentencing for thieves, ensuring accountability and deterring future offenses. Locking up repeat offenders, even for small crimes, isn’t about harshness—it’s about restoring order and protecting communities from unchecked lawlessness.
AI, Automation, and Job Security: Is This Just the Beginning?
For years, conservatives warned about the dangers of reckless globalization, unchecked corporate greed, and government policies that suffocate American workers. Now, in 2025, those warnings are coming true in a new form: artificial intelligence and automation. What should have been a tool to empower workers is instead being used as a shortcut for corporations to slash payrolls, pad quarterly earnings, and send loyal employees packing.
The question isn’t whether AI is changing the job market — it already has. The real question is whether our leaders will finally put American workers first, or whether this is the opening act of a future where job security no longer exists.
