Dear Patriot,
There is just TOO much winning going on! Following the news these days is crazy fun!
This week's happiest, best, GOOD NEWS was the 1,500 political hostages released to FREEDOM.
We note that there are Democrat maneuverings that are still holding up the release of a few but, many people are working to obtain their freedom too.
We are joyful that at long last these men and women are with their families and friends again.
We are not finished talking about this four year nightmare in which the US government turned on it’s citizens. The list of unconstitutional and illegal acts by the government is long and it all must be revealed and aired out in sunshine.
But, for this small moment, we thank God and President Trump for the end of this horrible chapter in American history.
Watching President Trump do exactly what he has promised to do is a joy.
But the gnashing of teeth by the left is especially satisfying to witness.
They seem so surprised by Trump’s actions. Did they miss the last four years of Trump speeches and interviews? They probably did miss them since there were watching the Fake and now dying press.
What is happening by the hour is what the majority of voters voted for. We knew what we wanted and we believed that Trump was the one to deliver. He is undoing years of stupidity and chaos. We are simply going back to common sense and…. it feels so good.
1- Late on Thursday, President Trump pardoned 23 Americans who were arrested and jailed for praying in front of abortion clinics.
In the new Golden Age of America, we do not put people in jail for their religious beliefs.
President Trump Pardons Pro-Life Activists Imprisoned by Biden.
QUOTE: President Donald J. Trump is issuing pardons for 23 pro-life activists who were prosecuted and imprisoned by the Biden-Harris government. The move comes on the heels of Trump’s mass clemency order for over 1,500 January 6 Capitol riot defendants shortly after he was inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States on Monday.
“This is a great honor to sign this,” Trump said while signing the executive order:
The pardons come just before Friday as the 52nd annual March for Life is held in Washington, D.C. Among those receiving clemency are John Hinshaw, Jonathan Darnell, Lauren Handy, Calvin Zastrow, Herb Geraghty, Jean Marshall, Heather Idoni, Paulette Harlow, Bevelyn Williams, and Joan Bell. Each was sentenced to around two years or more in prison for violating the federal Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (FACE Act), a statute signed into law by former President Bill Clinton that has dubiously been used to prosecute peaceful protesters outside abortion clinics.
During Joe Biden’s term in the White House, his Department of Justice (DOJ) aggressively persecuted pro-life activists under the direction of Kristen Clarke, an assistant attorney general for the DOJ’s civil rights division. Clarke became infamous for pushing highly partisan prosecutions and stretching legal statutes to create the appearance of a crime when arguably none existed.
The radical assistant attorney general went so far as to prosecute an 89-year-old Yugoslavian communist concentration camp survivor for her participation in a pro-life protest.
2- If you missed President Trump’s speech and Q&A with the evil global elites who are wining and dining in Davos Switzerland, check it out.
Not unlike his inauguration speech, Trump stood in front of the very people who implemented horrible ideas and he told them their time of harassing the little people is over.
Trump was masterful. He flawlessly articulated the new order of the world. When America puts itself first, everything changes. He told the very people who have been pushing DEI, climate change, regulations, censorship, war and globalism that we are done with them. President Trump and America have rejected all of them and world domination.

Trump addresses World Economic Forum in Davos
3- Count us among the many who jumped up and cheered when Trump called out the CEO of Bank America, on the world stage, for debanking conservative Americans. However, Trump did not call Brian Moynihan out for illegally handing over the bank records of J6 prisoners to the FBI.
Let us just say, whatever the bank does to end this practice won’t matter.
We. Will. Not. Forget.
Trump Confronts Bank of America CEO at WEF over Claims of Debanking Conservatives
QUOTE: President Donald Trump slammed Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan while speaking to him virtually Thursday at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Switzerland over claims his company has debanked conservatives.
Trump’s comments at Klaus Schwab’s WEF came during his response to Moynihan’s question about his flurry of executive orders.
“And by the way, speaking of you, and you’ve done a fantastic job, but I hope you start opening your bank to conservatives because many conservatives complain that the banks are not allowing them to do business within the bank, and that included a place called Bank of America,” Trump said.
“They don’t take conservative business,” Trump added, going on to say the message also applies to JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon. “And I don’t know if the regulators mandated that because of Biden or what, but you and Jamie and everybody, I hope you’re going to open your banks to conservatives because what you’re doing is wrong.”
Moynihan did not address Trump on the issue.
4- Isn’t it amazing that during the past four years the Biden Regime did not tap into this massive investment in America?
And, in the first three day and ONE phone call with President Trump….shazam!
In his Davos speech, Trump being Trump, bumped this amount to $1 Trillion!
Saudi crown prince says kingdom intends to invest $600 billion in US during call with Trump
QUOTE: DUBAI, United Arab Emirates— Saudi Arabia’s crown prince said Thursday the kingdom wants to invest $600 billion in the United States over the next four years, comments that came after President Donald Trump earlier put a price tag on returning to the kingdom as his first foreign trip.
Trump’s 2017 trip to Saudi Arabia upended a tradition of U.S. presidents first heading to the United Kingdom as their first trip abroad.
The comments from Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, reported early Thursday by the state-run Saudi Press Agency, came in a phone call with Trump. It marked Trump’s first call with a foreign leader since his inauguration Monday.
“The crown prince affirmed the kingdom’s intention to broaden its investments and trade with the United States over the next four years, in the amount of $600 billion, and potentially beyond that,” the report said.
5- We remain nervous about these nominations. We know how the left can spin up lie tornados that lay waste to very good people.
The only people who control this process are a bunch of out-of-touch, spineless Senators. This is why Sidney produced a video specifically to address the Senators who have not yet figured out what the American voters demand.
What we want from them is QUICK approval of ALL of the nominees.
Please share this video with your Senator, regardless of party. They ALL need to hear from you.
You may prefer to take the talking points and compose your own message.
Sidney’s Message to the Senators
73% confident Trump’s Cabinet will be confirmed
QUOTE: A Rasmussen Reports survey finds that 73% of likely US voters say it’s likely the Senate will confirm all of President Donald Trump’s Cabinet nominees. This includes 33% who say confirmation is “very likely,” while 18% think it’s unlikely all the nominees will be approved.
The survey shows that 78% of voters say they’ve been following news coverage of the Senate confirmation hearings, including 36% who say they’ve followed “very closely.” Among those most engaged, 85% say they think it’s likely all of Trump’s picks will be confirmed.
Majorities of voters across political affiliations believe it is at least somewhat likely that all the nominees will be confirmed. This includes 83% of Republicans, 70% of Democrats, and 67% of independents.
6- Well, duh. You would think this would be obvious. But, since the USA was captured by DEI, the obvious is ignored.
Not anymore.
State Dept.: Only US Flag Can Be Flown at Embassies
QUOTE: President Donald Trump's State Department issued a "one flag policy" on Tuesday, dictating that only the Stars and Stripes can be flown at all U.S. outposts and embassies at home and abroad.
The order prohibits U.S. facilities from displaying flags affiliated with such movements as Black Lives Matter and Gay Pride, whose flags flew over U.S. government buildings at home and abroad, including the White House, during the Biden administration.
"Starting immediately, only the United States of America flag is authorized to be flown or displayed at U.S. facilities, both domestic and abroad, and featured in U.S. government content," stated the order, a copy of which was obtained by The Washington Free Beacon.
"The flag of the United States of America united all Americans under the universal principles of justice, liberty, and democracy. These values, which are the bedrock of our great country, are shared by all American citizens, past and present."
Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued the order shortly after his swearing-in ceremony Tuesday.
7- If you have ever been tasked with pulling weeds from the garden, you know how important it is not to just grab and pull the part of the weed you can see.
The analogy works for all the weeds that infest The Deep State.
A year ago, Chris Rufo outlined his ideas on equality in the government as opposed to the current fad of DEI. His suggested concepts are being enacted in the first three days of the Trump Administration.
The Trump Team is digging deep into the problems and pulling out the weeds, with intact roots. They are going back to President Johnson's order and cancelling it. That is a weed that has been growing roots for SIX DECADES!
Rufo wrote on Twitter: President Trump has signed an executive order rescinding Lyndon Johnson's EO 11246, which established affirmative action, and banning all federal contractors and publicly-funded universities from practicing race-based discrimination, including DEI.
One year ago, I laid out a three-part agenda for the bringing colorblind equality to the government. Trump has already issued orders on two of the points. Next up: destroy the false and malicious "disparate impact" standard government-wide.

A New Civil Rights Agenda
QUOTE: Happily, another avenue is open to us: reform. The ideological capture of the Civil Rights Act is neither fixed nor inevitable. Rather than argue for its abolition, Americans concerned about the excesses of the DEI bureaucracy should appeal to higher principles and demand that our civil rights law conform to the standard of colorblind equality. The answer to left-wing racialism is not right-wing racialism—it is the equal treatment of individuals under law, according to their talents and virtues, rather than their ancestry and anatomy. This policy does not require radical innovations. Embracing the philosophy of the American Founding—with its emphasis on natural rights and liberties—will suffice.
What would this new civil rights agenda look like in practice? First, reformers should outlaw affirmative action and racial preferences of any kind. Both policies are euphemisms for racial discrimination. The next president should rescind Lyndon Johnson’s 1965 Executive Order 11246, which established “affirmative action” and marked the initial deviation from the standard of colorblind equality. Congress should strengthen this principle by amending the language of the Civil Rights Act to make indisputably clear that the law will not permit state-sanctioned discrimination toward any racial group, whether in the minority or the majority.
Americans do not have to accept the bigotries of the past or the present. In a vast and diverse country, colorblind equality is the only way forward.
8-The DriveBy/Fake/Corporate/Propaganda Media is dying. This is great news for the world.
Disgraced, Far-left CNN to Lay off Hundreds as Viewership Collapses
QUOTE: CNN, a far-left propaganda outlet that spreads conspiracy theories and political violence, is set to lay off hundreds, according to various reports that have me so excited I’m having to call my doctor every four hours.
“CNN is reportedly set to lay off ‘hundreds’ of employees in the early days of President Trump’s second administration,” reports Fox Business. “CEO Mark Thompson will announce to his staff about the network cuts on Thursday[.]”
Naturally, over at CNN, the rich stay rich: Per CNBC, these layoffs “won’t affect CNN’s most recognizable names, who are under contract.”
Gee, Jake Tapper could do a lot of good if he were willing to contribute just half of his reported annual $7 million salary to save those jobs.
CNN is dying.
CNN’s reputation is a national punchline.
CNN’s ratings are worse than any of us thought possible.
CNN just lost a brutal defamation case.
CNN would have seized up and died years ago in a media world built on merit. The only thing that has kept CNN alive is the affirmative action of cable/satellite TV carriage fees. About 57 million suckers still pay for cable, and almost every one of those suckers — even though they don’t watch CNN — directly pays CNN about $1 a month out of their cable bill. That’s $57 million a month in free money from people who don’t even tune in. How sweet is that? You’re talking around $600 million a year in income that has nothing to do with merit.
9- It made us smile so much to see Veep Vance walk into the Oval Office for the first time. The life story of this man is quintessentially American and it is still playing out.
Speaker Johnson took the video and posted it on X.
10- THE HAT! Who would have thought that the hat worn by Mrs. Trump would buzz the internet so hard!
Watch Eric Javits making Melania’s amazing inaugural hat.
We miss the art of millinery…one person crafting one hat for a specific person.
We think hats may make a comeback!
Watch here. Flotus Report on X
