President Donald Trump’s order for airstrikes on Yemen Houthi targets is sending a strong message that goes far beyond them, former Rep. Pete King said on Newsmax Sunday.
“I fully support them; I endorse them,” the New York Republican told Newsmax’s “Wake Up America Weekend.” “Basically, Russia is supplying the Houthis to take these shots at us … it’s important that they be crushed at the start.”
Trump is also sending a message to Iran as well as Russia, he said.
“It’s important for the United States to let the world know that it’s not going to tolerate any of these cheap attacks on us,” he said, adding that because the attacks weren’t carried out by Russia, China, or Iran directly, they were being let go.
“The Houthis, they are subsidized by Russia,” said King. “That’s who’s behind this.”
Former Rep. Jack Kingston, R-Ga., also on Sunday’s program, added that the airstrikes also send the message that there is not a “negligent, lazy, and timid administration in the White House anymore.”
“I think the word got out internationally that Joe Biden was not paying attention,” said Kingston. “The Houthi rebels have been harassing American ships in the Red Sea, the Suez Canal, disrupting commerce, keeping our ships away from there and other ships from other nationalities, and we’ve been talking and talking and talking it to death.”
King, meanwhile, acknowledged there is always a concern that matters could escalate in the Middle East.
“But if we don’t act now, we’re going to see a greater conflagration later on,” he said. “So I would rather take the action now while we do hold the upper hand and use it and not let this get out of control, not let it spread, not let Russia think that it can act with impunity
Opposing the popular-vote winner in President Donald Trump, obstructing his agenda and efforts to cut government waste, fraud, and abuse, and threatening to shut down the government by rejecting their own President Joe Biden-era spending levels in a continuing resolution did not sit well with registered Democrats and left-siding independent adults.
Even a majority of Democrat adults (52%) are saying the leadership of the party is taking things in the wrong direction.
That eye-popping poll result flips the majority that had sided otherwise eight years ago at the start of the first Trump administration, according to CNN.
Democrats’ favorability has dropped 20 points since January 2021 when Biden first took office after Jan. 6, falling now to 29% – a record low dating back to 1992 when former President Bill Clinton came in to defeat sitting President George H.W. Bush. The Republican Party had held the White House for three full terms through former President Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush before Clinton was elected in 1992.
Democrats and Democrat-siding independents give their own leaders just 63% favorability, which is down from 72% in January and 81% at the start of the Biden administration.
Republicans are far more happy with their leaders, as 79% of Republicans and GOP-siding independents have a favorable view of Republicans.
House GOP Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., has called Democrats “leaderless” and “rudderless,” and those polled largely agree.
When asked who among Democrats “best reflects the core values” of the party (with no names and just a blank space to respond):
30% did not name someone.
10% said Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.
Former Vice President Kamala Harris 9%.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., 8%.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., 6%.
Former President Barack Obama 4%.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, 4%.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., tied with many others at 2%.
“No one: That’s the problem,” one respondent wrote, CNN reported. “That’s the problem.”
The CNN poll was conducted by SSRS from March 6-9 among 1,206 U.S. adults. The results have a margin of error of plus or minus 3.3 percentage points. In the Democrats’ sub-sample of 504, the margin of error is plus or minus 5.0.

The Department of Education is investigating more than 50 universities for racial discrimination in accordance with President Donald Trump’s executive order to end diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, which the administration considers as discriminatory against certain students based on race, ethnicity, and other criteria. The department announced the investigations Friday after issuing a memo stating schools and colleges could lose federal money over race considerations in admissions, scholarships, and more.
“Students must be assessed according to merit and accomplishment, not prejudged by the color of their skin,” Education Secretary Linda McMahon said in a statement. “We will not yield on this commitment.”
The department is focusing on colleges’ partnerships with the PhD Project, a nonprofit with the stated goal of diversifying the business world by helping minorities receive business degrees. According to department officials, colleges working with the PhD Project are employing race-exclusionary practices in their graduate programs.
Among the 45 colleges being investigated over their involvement with the PhD Project include renowned public universities such as Arizona State, Ohio State, and Rutgers, as well as prestigious private schools like Yale, Cornell, Duke, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
The PhD Project released a statement defending its practices, saying it focuses on developing business leaders of the future.
“This year, we have opened our membership application to anyone who shares that vision,” it said.
Arizona State did not contribute to the PhD Project this year. On Feb. 20, it alerted faculty it would not support travel to the nonprofit’s annual conference. Ohio State said in a statement that the university does not discriminate based on race, ethnicity, or any other so-called protected class.
In addition, the department is investigating six other colleges for awarding race-based scholarships: Grand Valley State University, Ithaca College, the New England College of Optometry, the University of Alabama, the University of South Florida, and the University of Oklahoma at Tulsa. The University of Minnesota is also being investigated for allegedly running a program that segregates students on the basis of race. In 2023, a Supreme Court decision prohibited colleges from using race as a factor in admissions in a decision involving the practices of Harvard and the University of North Carolina. The Department of Education has used the ruling as a precedent to forbid race-based practices in not only higher education, but also K-12.
The department’s investigation followed a Feb. 14 memo by the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) that called discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin illegal and morally reprehensible, citing the 1964 Equal Protection Clause of the United States Constitution. “In recent years, American educational institutions have discriminated against students on the basis of race, including white and Asian students, many of whom come from disadvantaged backgrounds and low-income families,” stated Craig Trainor, Acting Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights United States Department of Education, in the memo.
The memo accuses colleges, universities, and K-12 schools of using race as a factor in admissions, financial aid, hiring, training, and other institutional programming.
“In a shameful echo of a darker period in this country’s history, many American schools and universities even encourage segregation by race at graduation ceremonies and in dormitories and other facilities,” Trainor said. The OCR memo is being challenged in federal lawsuits from the nation’s two largest teachers’ unions—The American Federation of Teachers (AFT), AFT-Maryland, and the American Sociological Association—who said the memo is too vague and violates the free speech rights of educators.
The Department of Education has also taken aim at colleges and universities it alleges failed to act in the face of anti-Semitism on campuses. On March 7, the department, along with the Department of Justice, Department of Health and Human Services, and the U.S. General Services Administration, canceled approximately $400 million in federal grants and contracts to Columbia University, citing the school’s inaction amid harassment of Jewish students.
The Democrat party is not simply irrelevant. Rather, it is America’s greatest adversary, driven by globalist priorities and divisive policies — a decaying shell scheming to undermine the nation that Donald Trump revived. From the Rio Grande to the Rust Belt, patriots see the truth: This is a radical mob set on tearing apart our borders, our jobs, and our freedoms. Republicans — especially in Texas, where the battle feels personal — must defeat this threat before it drags the whole country down. This is war — for America, not just Austin.
Once a cornerstone of American political life, the Democrat party has morphed into something unrecognizable — a force that now threatens the fabric of the nation. Historically a party of working-class advocacy and progressive reform, it has abandoned its roots in recent years to embrace a radical, anti-American agenda. This transformation demands scrutiny.
The Democrats once waved the blue-collar flag — FDR, JFK, all that jazz. Now? They’ve betrayed the working man. Newsweek nailed it post-2024: They lost the heartland — Pennsylvania, Michigan, and even Texas saw ranchers and oilmen switch to red. Why? Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) pushed her “Jobs for All” bill in January 2025, promising jobs but delivering billions to green-energy fat cats while rig workers in Odessa barely get by. Trump’s tariffs rebuilt steel towns; Democrats promote solar panels that nobody asked for. America First means jobs, not handouts.
The Democrats’ border policy hits hard, especially in Texas, where illegal crossings overwhelm towns like Del Rio. Since 2021, Biden’s administration has allowed in over 10 million, according to Politico, flooding the streets with drugs and crime. Kamala Harris, the laughable “border czar,” smirked on CNN in 2024, cooing, “We’re a nation of immigrants.” Tell that to the ranchers dodging cartel bullets. Now, in 2025, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) is pushing through his “Pathway to Citizenship Act,” a February amnesty bill aimed at securing blue votes nationwide. Trump’s wall helps stop the bleeding; Democrats tear it wide open.
Foreign policy is in disarray under the Democrats. They’ve aligned themselves with the Islamic Republic of Iran since the 2015 nuclear deal; Trump terminated it because it funded terrorism. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) tweeted in 2023, “Sanctions are economic warfare,” advocating for leniency toward Tehran while it attacks Israel. In contrast, Trump’s Abraham Accords advanced peace through strength. In 2025, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt., essentially a Democrat) criticized Trump’s China tariffs in a March speech, calling them “regressive” while Beijing continues dismantling American factories. From Houston to Harrisburg, Democrats betray us to tyrants.
The Democrats cater to globalists, not to Americans. Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act funneled $369 billion into climate initiatives, according to The Guardian, while Texas drillers and Ohio miners received nothing. In February 2025, House speaker Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) promoted the “Global Climate Partnership,” tying U.S. energy to U.N. authorities. Forget that — we’ve got oil in Midland. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) criticized Trump’s China tariffs in a March op-ed, lamenting that they “hurt consumers,” oblivious to the fact that they preserved jobs from Laredo to Lansing. It’s always elites over workers, every single time.
Democrats oppose law and order — end of story. San Francisco’s Chesa Boudin, regarded as a puppet of George Soros, released felons until voters pushed back in 2022. That’s their playbook: defund the police and embrace criminals. ABC News revealed GOP ads in 2024 criticizing blue cities for it — think Chicago, not just Dallas. Now Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) promotes her 2025 “Community Safety Act,” which cuts police budgets for “restorative justice” rhetoric — because feelings can prevent carjackings. Trump’s firm approach succeeds; Democrats encourage chaos.
Democracy? They rig it!
Don’t fall for their “save democracy” tears. The Journal of Democracy reported that 20% of Democrats supported violence in 2021 — less than the GOP’s 30%, but still despicable. They cheered the riots of 2020. Harris tweeted support for bail funds — then cried when Trump defeated them in 2024. Now Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) proposes his Electoral College “reform” bill in 2025, a blatant power-grab aimed at eliminating red states like Texas. Trump won big; they can’t stand it.
Breitbart Business Digest: Trump’s Tariffs Didn’t Tank the Market

The Tariff Selloff Narrative Doesn’t Make Sense
If you’re looking for an explanation of why the stock market has been stumbling, the financial press has a ready-made answer: blame Trump’s tariffs.
The claim is familiar, convenient, and utterly predictable. It also happens to be wrong. Markets don’t move in neat response to political narratives, and the idea that investors suddenly woke up to the perils of trade policy months after Trump was elected is as laughable as it is lazy.
If the press had a better explanation, they’d use it—so long as it made President Trump look bad. Instead, they’re dusting off the same script they used in 2018. But the numbers—and history—tell a very different story.
The Real Culprit: The End of the Government Spending Boom
Over the last few weeks, technology stocks and other speculative assets cratered, while safe assets such as Berkshire Hathaway, Treasury bonds, and dividend-paying stocks have held steady or even risen. If tariffs were driving the selloff, we would see broad market declines, not a selective retreat from high-risk, high-valuation stocks. This isn’t about tariffs—it’s about investors finally reckoning with the excesses of the past few years.
John Rekenthaler, Vice President for Research at Morningstar, put it plainly: speculators have ruled the market for years, chasing anything that looked exciting. But when confidence shakes, they stampede out the exits—just like we’re seeing now.SUBSCRIBE

The same thing happened in early 2022 when the Fed started pulling back the easy money. This time, the trigger is different, but the dynamic is the same.
Rekenthaler also made another key point: the market’s timing doesn’t support the tariff panic theory. Tariffs weren’t some surprise revelation. Trump had been talking about them for months, yet the market surged from August through December. If tariffs were such a clear-cut market killer, investors wouldn’t have waited until late February to react. That’s simply not how markets behave. The selloff happened when speculation hit a breaking point—not because of tariffs.
The Sell-Off Is a Rotation, Not a Sign of Economic Doom
Jared Woodard argues in the latest Bank of America RIC Report that this selloff is a rotation, not an economic crisis. The report highlights a major shift in market fundamentals. Tech stocks are plummeting, while sectors such as defense, value stocks, and emerging market debt are gaining. Government-driven growth is fading as public sector hiring slows and spending levels shift. The market is adjusting to a world where speculation and following the government-spending goodie trail is no longer being rewarded.
Fiscal and monetary policy are in transition, forcing investors to reassess risk. High-budget deficits and heavy government spending have propped up speculative assets in recent years, but that cycle is ending. The RIC report underscores a fundamental truth: this selloff is the result of markets recalibrating after an era of over-investment in high-risk, high-momentum stocks. Investors are pulling back not because they fear tariffs, but because they are repositioning in anticipation of a new market environment.
Despite what the financial media wants you to believe, there is no academic support for the idea that tariffs drive broad market selloffs. History tells us the opposite. The Trump tariffs of 2018 and 2019 didn’t tank the market—it kept rising. Even Biden keeping those tariffs in place didn’t stop the rally. Markets only fell when speculative excess and Fed tightening caught up with a factual explanation.

The reality is that tariffs are a long-term adjustment tool, not a short-term market killer. The argument that tariffs are responsible for this downturn is nothing more than a convenient excuse for investors who don’t want to admit that they bet too much on speculative assets.
The Financial Media’s ‘Liar’s Poker’ Routine
In Michael Lewis’ famous Wall Street tome Liar’s Poker, traders are depicted as inventing plausible-sounding but entirely imagined explanations for market moves to satisfy media demand for a simple narrative. When no one knew why the dollar was falling, they’d just blame “Arab selling” because it was a story that couldn’t be refuted. No one had a clue what the Arabs were doing or why, so it was a full-proof answer.
That’s exactly what’s happening now. The financial press needs a tidy explanation for why markets are falling, so they scream “Trump’s tariffs!” It doesn’t have to be true. It just has to sound good enough to keep the anti-Trump narrative
Senators Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Ron Johnson (R-WI) have blown the lid off yet another sham investigation orchestrated by Biden’s corrupt Department of Justice (DOJ) and the politically compromised FBI.
According to newly uncovered documents, the agencies weaponized their power to target President Donald Trump, former Vice President Mike Pence, and their allies through an illegitimate probe dubbed “Arctic Frost.”
Armed with whistleblower disclosures and damning internal documents, the senators are sounding the alarm over “Operation Arctic Frost,” a taxpayer-funded witch hunt that seized government-issued cell phones belonging to former President Donald Trump and former Vice President Mike Pence while conducting a sweeping barrage of interviews across the country.
The FBI did not require a warrant to take possession of government phones from the Biden White House. However, after securing the devices, agents began preparing a search warrant to access their data, sources familiar with the investigation told Fox News.
“The Biden White House played right along with the FBI’s ‘gotcha’ scheme against Trump,” the source told Fox News.
“Biden’s Office of White House Counsel, under the leadership of Dana Remus and Jonathan Su, gave its blessing and accommodation for the FBI to physically obtain Trump and Pence’s phones in early May 2022. Weeks later, the FBI began drafting a search warrant to extract the phones’ data.”
In a fiery letter dated March 13, 2025, addressed to Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel, Grassley and Johnson pulled no punches.
Kimberley Strassel hits the nail on the head in “Trump’s School Choice” (Potomac Watch, March 7). It is time to end the experiment in federal control over education, returning the matter to states and, more important, to families.
As Ms. Strassel explains, the Education Department is a misnomer. It educates no one. Instead, it functions as a bureaucratic middleman that adds cost and complexity—as well as radical political agendas—at every turn, without adding value anywhere. The proof is in the outcomes. The department’s stated purpose is to close the gap between high- and low-performing students. It has spent $1 trillion since 1979, ostensibly in pursuit of that goal, but the results show the gap is wider today than it was three decades ago. Seven out of 10 fourth-graders today aren’t proficient readers. This is what happens with a system that rewards compliance over competence.
Why has anyone abided such failure? As Ms. Strassel rightly notes, the federal department was never functionally intended to serve students. It was created as a political payoff to the school union bosses and thus built to serve the interests of adults.
This underscores why, finally, President Trump and Congress must put parents squarely in the driver’s seat of their children’s education. When they have the power to take kids out of failing schools, real accountability will follow. Mr. Trump has clearly called for expanding education freedom across this country, and Congress must finally heed his call by including the Educational Choice for Children Act in the upcoming budget reconciliation.
The president’s efforts, including eliminating unneeded and duplicative staff, are far from extreme. They are what is necessary to address and correct the significant challenges facing America’s students and teachers. By shuttering the Education Department for good, we can begin to fix education and help children unlock their full potential.
The phrase has troubled liberals who think it is a call for a return to an America before civil rights, gay rights, and women’s rights. But I have a more generous interpretation, one that is truer to my experience of Donald Trump as he is today. “Make America Great Again” recalls a nation brimming with vitality, with a can-do spirit, with hope and a belief in itself. It was an America that was beginning to confront its darker shadows, could acknowledge the injustice in its past and present, yet at the same time could celebrate its successes. It was a nation of broad prosperity, the world’s most vibrant middle class, and a idealistic belief (though not consistently applied) in freedom, justice, and democracy. It was a nation that led the world in innovation, productivity, and technology. And it was the healthiest country in the world. I have talked to many Trump supporters. I have talked with his inner circle. I have talked to the man himself. This is the America they want to restore.

By this definition, today’s American culture is wildly, utterly irrational. Everything is upside down and inside out. It’s the cultural equivalent of psychosis. Not most of the people; but virtually everyone the people rely on for any kind of intellectual, social or psychological guidance.
U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has announced her first major move since being confirmed last month, eliciting joyful reactions by MAGA supporters and certainly some appreciation from some of her affected colleagues.
Some of the biggest elements of President Donald Trump’s agenda have been stymied by actors within the federal bureaucracy who have “agendas” of their own, according to U.S. Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem. Their obstruction was on display during last month’s botched immigration raid in Los Angeles after leakers tipped off the city’s largest newspaper, putting the lives of U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement officers in jeopardy.
Now, Gabbard is using the power of the “deep state” against itself.
The national intelligence community will be “aggressively pursuing” leaks within the executive branch in the coming weeks, Gabbard said. Among the transgressions already identified are leakers sharing information with the Huffington Post, sharing information about Israel-Iran relations with the Washington Post, and sharing sensitive U.S.-Russia matters with NBC News, according to conservative reporter Eric Daugherty.
“That ends now. We know of and are aggressively pursuing recent leakers from within the Intelligence Community and will hold them accountable,” the former Democratic congresswoman said in a statement.
Some leakers have already been found, Noem announced earlier this month. Although she did not say where they were located, Tom Homan, the White House’s lead immigration liaison, suggested that evidence pointed back to the FBI.
As the Trump administration’s caustic purge of career bureaucrats has picked up speed, officials have had to contend with holdovers from the Biden-Harris administration working within the agencies now headed by some of President Trump’s top allies. Although many have resigned in protest, others continue to delay reform, as exemplified recently when many midlevel managers across the federal government directed their employees to ignore a request by Elon Musk to report on what work they had performed in the past week.
Some who worked for the Biden-Harris administration and are now on the outside are continuing to use their access to government sources to disrupt parts of President Trump’s agenda.
Pablo Manriquez, who previously served as a director of Latino and Hispanic outreach for the national Democratic Party, revealed this month that ICE was suiting up for a raid in northern Virginia, according to “Fox & Friends” hosts who called for the activist to face consequences for his actions.
“ICE RAIDS are planned for Monday & Tuesday in Northern Virginia, per multiple sources who tell us ICE has obtained between 75 and 100 judicial warrants,” Manriquez wrote on social media while including helpful tips on how to evade capture by immigration authorities.
Gabbard’s announcement is not the first expulsion of federal officials stymying the administration’s agenda. In February, she told Fox News’ Jesse Watters that more than 100 intelligence officials had been fired after taking part in “obscene” online sex chatrooms, the NY Post reported. The behavior occurred on a National Security Agency Intelink platform and amounted to an “egregious violation of trust.”
“When you see what these people were saying,” she told Watters, “they were brazen in using an NSA platform intended for professional use to conduct this — kind of really, really horrific behavior.”
