White House Bans ‘Religious’ Easter Eggs

ALERT: The Biden Administration is working with Big Tech to silence conservatives on social media ahead of the 2024 presidential race. Click here to bypass the censorship by getting Todd’s free newsletter filled with conservative content.

The White House has banned children from decorating Easter Eggs with religious messages.

The Biden Administration had invited the children of National Guard families to submit artwork for a competition that is part of the annual Easter Egg Roll.

“Children of National Guard families across the United States are encouraged to submit artwork inspired by the theme ‘Celebrating our Military Families.’ Children should depict on an egg template a snapshot of their life – a favorite activity, scenery in your state, your military family, a day-in-your life,” read a pamphlet promoting the contest.

The winning entries will be displayed at the White House in the East Colonnade.

However, the submission guidelines strictly prohibit any religious symbols or themes – even though the winning egg designs will be displayed throughout Easter and Passover.

“The Submission must not include any questionable content, religious symbols, overtly religious themes,” the White House stated.

That means no crosses or any mention of the name of Jesus.

Mike Berry, general counsel at First Liberty Institute, was shocked by the ban on religious Easter Egg designs.

“The Biden Administration is so scared of religion that they won’t even allow children to submit Easter Egg artwork that celebrates the actual reason for Easter, which happens to be one of the holiest days on the Christian calendar,” Berry said.

Without the resurrection of Jesus, the White House Easter Egg Roll would basically be an event celebrating poultry. Leave it to President Biden to lay a giant egg like this at Easter.

A recent study shines a light on the invaluable role of natural gas in the U.S. healthcare sector. This report not only highlights the economic value of natural gas but also its critical contribution to maintaining robust and efficient healthcare services.



When including the direct use of natural gas by the U.S. healthcare sector and the indirect use in its industrial supply chain, the U.S. healthcare sector consumes roughly 493.3 billion cubic feet (Bcf), shown in Table 1.

Here’s What You Need to Know:

Unmatched Reliability: Natural gas stands out as an around-the-clock energy source, essential for the 24/7 operations of the healthcare sector.
Economic Efficiency: With natural gas being approximately one-third the unit price of electricity, it's a cost-effective power solution for healthcare facilities.
Geographic Significance: In regions like the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, where renewable options are limited, natural gas is a key player in energy supply, especially for heating purposes.
Substantial Impact on Employment: The healthcare sector, a major consumer of natural gas, supports over 17.5 million direct jobs.
Why This Matters:

Natural gas is not just fueling our homes and businesses, but also playing a pivotal role in supporting one of the most essential sectors: healthcare. It underscores the balance between economic efficiency and reliable energy supply, critical for the continued well-being and health of our communities.

See The Full Report:

To explore these findings in detail, we encourage you to read the full report. It’s a testament to the synergy between the oil and natural gas sector and healthcare, showcasing how industry is helping to make our modern lives not only possible, but undeniably better.

As we step into a new era of energy innovation, let's continue to embrace the power of natural gas in driving forward a healthier, more efficient, and economically vibrant society.

Lying JIM CROW joe at his best.

White House FACT CHECKED By Border Patrol Agents

A Biden administration claim that the state of Texas prevented federal Border Patrol agents from rescuing three migrants who drowned at the southern border was undermined by its own Department of Justice.

The allegation from Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) stated that Border Patrol agents “responding to a distress call from the Mexican government … were physically barred by Texas officials from entering the area.” The DHS spokesperson went on to call Texas “cruel, dangerous, and inhumane.”

But the administration’s own accounting of the incident by the DOJ makes clear that the allegations against Texas authorities were false. The DOJ states that at 9:00 p.m. on January 12, the Mexican government informed Border Patrol that three migrants, two children and one woman, had drowned at 8:00 p.m. Border Patrol informed the Texas Military Department of the drowning over an hour after it had occurred.

The allegation came days after the state of Texas took control of a park in Eagle Pass that was previously used by members of Border Patrol to process illegal immigrants before releasing them into the interior of the United States. The takeover is part of an ongoing feud between Texas and the federal government, with the two locked in legal battles over the federal government’s decision to cut razor wire placed on the border by the state.

The Texas Military Department also addressed the claim directly.

“At no time did TMD security personnel along the river observe any distressed migrants, nor did TMD turn back any illegal immigrants from the US during this period,” it said in a statement.

Other migrants who struggled as they attempted to cross the Rio Grande into the United States were rescued by the Mexican government about 45 minutes after Border Patrol made Texas authorities aware of the situation, Governor Greg Abbott’s office said.

U.S. Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) seized on the drowning to blast the state of Texas for defending its borders, arguing that it “bears responsibility” for the deaths.

Texas’ decision to secure its border comes as the United States faces an unprecedented surge of illegal aliens with over 10 million crossing the border since Joe Biden took office.

The increased figures include a record-breaking number of Chinese nationals and a 1,000% increase in illegal immigration from Afghanistan, Ethiopia, and the Dominican Republic, among other countries.

The previous monthly record for southern border encounters was just broken in November, when just under a quarter million migrants were encountered, according to official DHS statistics. A total of 308,728 encounters were reported by Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) nationwide during the month. DHS has yet to release statistics for December, but the reported number of encounters at the southern border was over 300,000.

Trump picks up support of 27 states at Supreme Court in ballot case
The escalating legal battle over former President Donald Trump's eligibility to be on the Colorado GOP primary ballot has now reached the Supreme Court. A coalition of more than two dozen states has filed a brief supporting Trump, highlighting the case's significance in the upcoming 2024 presidential election. This development adds a new dimension to an already contentious political landscape.

Fox News reported that a group of 27 states, led by Indiana and West Virginia, have presented a united front to the Supreme Court, advocating for Trump's inclusion on the Colorado ballot and warning of potential election chaos.

The Supreme Court's decision to hear the case on February 8 comes after a lower court's ruling that Trump engaged in insurrection, as per the 14th Amendment, during the January 6 Capitol riots. This controversial decision has opened a Pandora's box of legal and constitutional debates, with far-reaching implications for American politics.

Timeline of Events Leading to Supreme Court Showdown
The roots of this legal confrontation trace back to the tumultuous events of January 6, 2021, when riots broke out at the US Capitol building. These events have since been the fulcrum of numerous legal and political debates across the country. The Colorado state court's subsequent ruling in 2022, deeming Trump's actions as insurrection, set the stage for the current Supreme Court case.

After the Colorado Supreme Court upheld the lower court's decision in December 2022, Trump's legal team escalated the matter to the US Supreme Court. In response, the Supreme Court issued a stay, effectively reinstating Trump on the Colorado primary ballot, albeit temporarily. This move has since galvanized a significant segment of the political landscape.

The Supreme Court has set a deadline of January 18 for amicus briefs, providing a crucial timeline for all parties involved to present their arguments. The decision of the Supreme Court could have profound implications for the 2024 presidential election and the broader American political fabric.

Legal and Political Implications of the Case
The brief filed by the 27 states underscores the gravity of the situation, warning of the potential chaos that removing Trump from the ballot could cause. It emphasizes the national consequences of the Colorado court's ruling, suggesting that it extends far beyond the state's borders.

These states argue that the definition of "insurrection" used by the Colorado court is overly vague and denies Trump due process. This argument touches upon the fundamental principles of law and justice, resonating with concerns about the integrity and fairness of the legal system.

The filing states warn that barring Trump from ballots could severely damage voters' confidence in the electoral process. This argument taps into a deeper concern about the health of American democracy and the trust citizens place in their electoral systems.

The Role of the Judiciary in Presidential Qualifications
The central argument presented by the states is that determining presidential qualifications should be the prerogative of voters and Congress, not the courts. This stance challenges the traditional boundaries between different branches of government and raises questions about the role of the judiciary in political processes.

The amicus brief stresses that the judiciary should not interfere with the will of the voters or the decisions of Congress regarding presidential qualifications. This perspective advocates for a more restrained role for the courts in political affairs, highlighting the delicate balance of power in American governance.

According to the states, the Supreme Court must act swiftly to resolve this uncertainty, especially as the primary elections approach. The urgency conveyed in the brief reflects the time-sensitive nature of electoral processes and the need for clarity in legal standards.

Concerns Over Election Integrity and Voter Confidence
The states' brief also touches on the potential damage to election integrity and voter confidence. It argues that many Americans might perceive the exclusion of Trump from the ballot as a partisan maneuver, undermining the perceived fairness of the electoral process.

The states caution against the consequences of the Colorado court's decision, suggesting it could lead to widespread distrust in the electoral system. This aspect of the argument emphasizes the importance of maintaining public trust in democratic institutions and processes.

Many Americans will become convinced that a few partisan actors have contrived to take a political decision out of ordinary voters’ hands.

Such concerns underline the need for transparent and impartial judicial proceedings, especially in matters with significant political implications. The states' argument, therefore, not only addresses the specifics of Trump's case but also speaks to broader issues of democratic governance and public trust.

Final Thoughts as Supreme Court Hearing Approaches
As the February 8 Supreme Court hearing approaches, the stakes are high not only for Trump but also for the American electoral system as a whole. The Court's decision could set a precedent with far-reaching implications for how political figures are judged and the balance of power between different branches of government.

The 27 states' involvement in this case underscores the depth of political divisions in the country and the complexities of navigating legal and constitutional challenges in a polarized environment. The Supreme Court's role in this scenario is pivotal, with its decision poised to shape the contours of American democracy.

The issue at hand is not just about the inclusion of a single candidate on a ballot but about the very principles that underpin American democracy. The upcoming Supreme Court decision will be closely watched by many, as it could redefine the boundaries of legal and political authority in the United States.

27 states have filed a brief supporting Trump's inclusion on the Colorado GOP primary ballot.
The Supreme Court is set to hear the case on February 8, with a January 18 deadline for briefs.
The states warn of chaos in the 2024 election and argue for voter and Congressional determination of presidential qualifications.
The Colorado state court had previously ruled Trump engaged in insurrection under the 14th Amendment.
Concerns over election integrity and voter confidence are central to the state's arguments.
The Supreme Court's decision could have significant implications for American democracy.

Juanita Broaddrick Reacts to Epstein Document Release
Bill Clinton r**e accuser Juanita Broaddrick has been out of the news cycle for quite some time, although she is still very active on X, especially when it comes to Bill Clinton.

With the Jeffrey Epstein documents being released, it was not exactly a surprise to see her name come across the news wire again.

Her post on X was vicious, and I am sure we will be hearing a lot more about it soon.

Broaddrick is Back
Broaddrick gained national headlines during the 2016 election, with Trump even inviting her to an event to sit there and stare down Hillary Clinton.

Clinton’s name is mentioned dozens of times in the Epstein document drop, and Broaddrick wanted to remind everyone of her account of the alleged r**e by Bill Clinton.

She posted, “After Bill Clinton viciously r**ed me, he said, ‘Don’t worry, I’m sterile due to mumps when I was a boy.'

“Then he told me, ‘You’d better put some ice on that,’ pointing to my swollen and bleeding lip.’ There are good men…….and then there’s Bill Clinton.”

Broaddrick has been trying to get her r**e allegations against Bill Clinton investigated for years, but she has had little success on that front.

She wants to have his presidential perks stripped, but she claims top Democrats refused to even look at the evidence.

During an interview in 2018, she claimed, “Back in 1999, Sen. Chuck Schumer, Sen. [Dianne] Feinstein, and Sen. [Dick] Durbin refused to read my investigation and record with the independent counsel–completely refused–even [though] they were asked by the committee, and the committee said, ‘This woman has credible evidence.’”

Breitbart also did an interview with her in 2016 where she told her story…

She is far from the only person to accuse Clinton of sexual misconduct, with Broaddrick being joined by Paula Jones and Kathleen Wiley in his alleged sexual escapades.

On this front, Bill Clinton has been the Teflon Don, as nothing ever sticks, and he and Hillary Clinton continue to be treated like rock stars in the Democrat Party.

Biden's 'Lobster-red' sunburn after Caribbean vacation causing concerns, mocking comments
President Joe Biden came back from a week-long Caribbean vacation with a very bad sunburn, which led to concerns about his health and mocking comparisons to 'Orange Man' Donald Trump.

This Inside Edition video shows Biden's reddened complexion and why getting badly sunburned might not be a good idea for someone who has had multiple non-malignant growths removed in recent years, including one on his chest nine months ago.

Biden and First Lady Jill Biden are notorious for spending time on the beach in Delaware where they own a home, but may not have accounted for the difference in the strength of the sun's rays between the U.S. East Coast and the Caribbean tropics.

Jill's fault?
Some asked why the First Lady didn't keep Biden out of the sun, bolstering recent opinion that Biden has declined mentally and needs his wife to tell him what to do.

Is he an adult male capable of slathering on sunscreen and getting himself out of the sun before he burns, or is he basically a child who needs Jill to do everything for him now?

Jill Biden has had her own issues with skin cancer, and had two basal cell carcinomas removed a year ago, so she may not have the best judgment about sun time anyway.

Still, most skin lesions and cancers caused by sun exposure are easily treated if they are caught early--neither the First Lady's nor Biden's needed further treatment, for example.

Is he jealous?
The most interesting responses to Biden's lobster-like appearance were those who believed he was trying to look more like his chief GOP opponent, former President Donald Trump.

Although Biden professes great animus toward Trump and has repeatedly called him a danger to U.S. democracy, could he secretly be jealous of the way his tan makes him look vibrant and alive?

Hate to tell you, Mr. President, it's not the tan.

Although only three years separate Trump and Biden, the contrast is striking between them.

Biden's dramatic mental decline will become apparent when the two debate, if they do. Most think Biden will make some excuse to get out of debating, which may help keep people in the dark but could also backfire if people think Biden is afraid of what people will see.

At this point, people pretty much know that Biden is too old for another term as president, and the only ones still voting for him are people who really, really hate Trump.

A Defiant Jack Smith, Courting Contempt, Is Pushing the Pace Even as Proceedings Are Suspended
He intends to file as usual, notwithstanding the suspension of his case pending appeal.

Special Counsel Jack Smith has no intention of slowing his breakneck pace in his January 6 case, notwithstanding President Trump’s efforts to hold the proceedings at a halt.

Mr. Smith’s doubling down comes in the form of a Friday evening filing. He opposes Mr. Trump’s position that the special counsel ought to be held in contempt for ignoring Judge Tanya Chutkan’s suspension of the case. It is paused pending appellate review of the scope of Mr. Trump’s immunities.

Mr. Trump paints a picture of a special counsel barreling through judicially erected stop signs, functioning as an “arm of the Biden campaign” and using legal means for political ends. Mr. Smith, though, is giving no quarter — he accuses the 45th president of trotting out “recycled allegations of partisanship” and “baseless” calumnies.

ADVERTISEMENT
Whether Mr. Smith is courting contempt could turn on whether Judge Chutkan’s suspension of the case is an absolute ban on action or merely a reprieve from obligation. The judge’s command “automatically stays any further proceedings that would move this case towards trial or impose additional burdens of litigation.” The trial date is set — for now — for March 4.

The prosecutor does “not understand that order to prohibit either party from voluntarily complying” with scheduled deadlines. Mr. Trump, though, takes the position that it is “clear, straightforward, and unambiguous. All substantive proceedings in this Court are halted.” He decries Mr. Smith’s “intention to continue this partisan-driven misconduct indefinitely, effectively converting this Court’s docket into an arm of the Biden Campaign.”

Mr. Smith responds that his relentless filings “impose no requirements on” Mr. Trump, who is “not obliged to respond” while the case is suspended. The government, though, wants to do its part to “promote the prompt resumption of the pretrial schedule if and when the mandate returns.”

ADVERTISEMENT
The special counsel takes the position that Mr. Tump’s umbrage is unmoored from any duty to respond. The 45th president, he writes, “fails to explain how the mere receipt of discovery materials that he is not obligated to review, or the early filing of Government pleadings to which he does not yet need to respond, possibly burdens him.”

The special counsel calls Mr. Trump’s allegations that he is coordinating with President Biden, “baseless.” He instead cites a “substantial public interest in the fair and prompt resolution of this case” as the motivation for his meeting of non-binding deadlines. That means that on February 19, Mr. Smith will disclose his witness list to Mr. Trump, “without any expectation of reciprocation”

LYING MAXINE and the democrats have gotten memory loss!
ICYMI: Maxine Waters Tried to Block Certification of 2016 Election
I am sure by now anyone reading this is well aware of Trump’s objections to the 2020 election.

I am sure you are also quite aware of all the Democrat objections to him doing this.

However, people seem to forget the effort by Democrats, led by Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA), not to certify the 2016 election.

I Object
During the 2016 election cycle, the big story regarding Trump was the alleged Russian collusion to help him win the presidency.

This was investigated and debunked, but that did not stop some Democrats from trying to block the certification during a joint session of Congress, presided over by Vice President Joe Biden and House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI).

The proceedings were interrupted 11 times with objections from various Democrats, citing “Russian interference,” “massive voter suppression” and the “violation of the Voting Rights Act.”

Joe Biden presided over the proceedings, his role as Vice President, clearly getting frustrated over Democrats objecting.

After the third objection, Biden asked if a Senator had signed on, and none of them had, so Biden stated, “It is over.”

That, however, did not stop a flurry of more objections.

With only four Democrat Senators attending, Rep. Maxine Waters voiced her objections, begging for a Democrat Senator to join her, but they sat silently.

After the certification, Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) said it was an “embarrassing” display. He added, “Senator McConnell made clear that people needed to delay their trip home in order to be here in case there was a need to vote. That's why we were all in town."

Even Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) refused to object, stating, “I think people don’t want the day to pass without registering concerns.

“In some cases, members are concerned about voter suppression, in some cases they are concerned about Russian influence on our election. There are a number of concerns. But it’s not going to have an impact at the end of the day.”

So, the next time you hear a Democrat complaining about Trump objecting to the outcome of the 2020 election, just remind them that Democrat House members filed 11 objections during the 2020 election.

Donald Trump made a legal filing that flips the script on the Democrats
DCDJ-RCJanuary 5, 2024

The Democrats are obsessed with stopping Donald Trump. They are throwing the kitchen sink at him.

But Donald Trump has made a legal filing that flips the script on the Democrats in the best way.

This Thursday, leading 2024 presidential candidate Donald Trump made the suggestion that the district court should hold special counsel Jack Smith and other prosecutors in contempt of court for disobeying its order. He said that Smith is using the case as a “leg of the Biden Campaign.”

Anticipating an appeal of her judgment of not dropping the former president’s lawsuit on the basis of presidential immunity, District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan halted proceedings in his 2020 election case on December 13. In a lengthy 15-page petition, Trump’s legal team claimed that Smith’s persistence in submitting papers on the postponed due dates breaches the court’s “clear, straightforward, and unambiguous” stay order.

“In this manner, the prosecutors seek to weaponize the Stay to spread political propaganda, knowing that President Trump would not fully respond because the Court relieved him of the burdens of litigation during the Stay,” Trump’s lawyers allege.

“Worse, the prosecutors have announced their intention to continue this partisan-driven misconduct indefinitely, effectively converting this Court’s docket into an arm of the Biden Campaign.”

According to Trump’s legal team, the prosecutors should explain why they ought not to be held in contempt of court and argued that the prosecutors should withdraw their filings. Additionally, “monetary sanctions in the amount of President Trump’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in responding to the prosecutors’ improper productions” should be supplied, according to the court’s filing.

As pointed out by Trump’s legal team, the prosecution submitted an “exhibit list” and 4,000 pages of “additional discovery” on December 17 and 18, respectively. For the purpose of “assisting in ensuring that trial proceeds promptly if and when the mandate returns,” the prosecution stated in a filing
