VIDEO: Trump-Hater Stunned After Seeing The New Reflecting Pool Up Close — Her Reaction Says It All

URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!

(DC Pundit) – For many on the left, despising President Donald Trump isn’t just a political position, it’s a lifestyle. A hobby. A reason to get out of bed in the morning. Strip away the resistance stickers and the MSNBC watching, and what’s left? For a lot of modern liberals, not much. Their hatred of Trump is the load-bearing wall of their entire identity, which is precisely why it’s so delicious when one of them is forced, against every fiber of their being, to admit he did something right.

That moment arrived courtesy of a viral clip posted on X by the Right Angle News Network, featuring a self-described Trump-hating woman who found herself in the uncomfortable position of complimenting the president’s renovation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, D.C.

“I thought it was a stupid idea to paint the reflecting pool,” she began, which is about what you’d expect.

“But y’all,” she said, visibly pained, “it looks good. It actually looks really good. It makes the reflection look extraordinarily prominent in a way that it did not look before.”

Naturally, she couldn’t let it end there. “And I hate that,” she added. We know. We know.

Give the woman credit, though, that kind of honesty takes guts when your entire social circle would disown you for saying something nice about Trump’s wallpaper choices, let alone a major landmark renovation.

Predictably, the legacy media did their level best to trash the project. The BBC hunted down tourists with negative opinions, leading with the quote “it looks black” as if that were the definitive verdict. The New York Times, never one to miss a chance to be insufferable, highlighted late-night comedians mocking the president’s excitement about the pool’s size. And Slate, bless their hearts, managed to wedge the “ongoing boondoggle at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool” into what they called one of “approximately 1.776 billion scandals of this Trump administration.”

Trump, as he tends to do, ignored all of it and pressed forward. “The water is ON, the Reflecting Pool is reflecting, and D.C. is looking better than ever,” the White House announced Thursday on X, accompanied by stunning photos of the Lincoln Memorial and Washington Monument shimmering beautifully in the water.

Say what you will about the man, and the left certainly will, but the pool looks fantastic. Even his fiercest critics, when they’re being honest, can see it. And that, perhaps, is the most Trump thing imaginable: winning even when people are rooting hard for him to fail.

TERROR: Three Americans Arrested In Plot To Fund ISIS

URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!

(DC Pundit) – Three young American men were taken into federal custody Friday on charges that they conspired to provide material support to one of the most brutal terrorist organizations in modern history, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, better known as ISIS.

Bisaam Ghafoor, 21, of Leawood, Kansas; Elias Shamsaldeen, 21, of Porterville, California; and Bereen Dzayee, 25, of Lakeside, California, were arrested and charged after allegedly funneling over $2,000 to an individual they believed to be an active ISIS member, according to the Justice Department. The arrests were carried out across multiple states, with apprehensions made in Kansas City, San Diego, and Sacramento.

According to the criminal complaint filed in the District of Kansas, the three men communicated from May 2025 through June 2026 about various schemes to support ISIS, including the provision of personnel, services, and money. They also reportedly pledged allegiance to the terrorist organization. And if that weren’t alarming enough, Dzayee allegedly suggested that potential drone strike targets include U.S. Special Forces.

The FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force, spanning the Kansas City, San Diego, and Sacramento field offices, investigated the cases and coordinated the arrests.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche did not hold back in responding to the news. “This administration has put terrorists, cartels, and gangs on notice,” Blanche said in a statement. “Today’s arrest of three individuals who allegedly conspired to provide material support to ISIS makes clear our commitment to taking down terrorist networks — anywhere.”

Under the Trump administration, the message to those who wish to harm this country is unmistakably clear: you will be found, and you will be held accountable.

It is also worth pausing to recognize just how serious this situation is. These are not foreign nationals who slipped through the border. These are men living in American cities, in American communities, who allegedly chose to financially support an organization responsible for mass executions, genocide, and the murder of American service members and civilians around the world. The threat of homegrown terrorism is real, it is active, and it demands vigilance.

Credit where it is due, federal law enforcement did its job here, and the Trump Justice Department is making good on its promise to pursue terrorist networks without hesitation. Cases like this one are a sobering reminder of why strong, serious leadership on national security matters so much.

MUTINY: These 18 Republicans Just Helped Push Through $9 Billion For Ukraine

URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!

(DC Pundit) – While President Donald Trump is working to broker a lasting peace between Russia and Ukraine, something the previous administration never seriously attempted, a group of House Republicans decided to throw a wrench into that effort by helping Democrats push through a hefty new aid package.

The House of Representatives passed a bill this week approving an additional $9 billion in aid to Ukraine while slapping harsh sanctions on Russia. Eighteen Republicans crossed the aisle to vote in favor of the measure, which includes sanctions targeting Russian banks, oil, and mining companies, a ban on Russian oil imports, and 500% tariffs on all other Russian goods entering the United States. The bill also authorized an $8 billion extension of Biden’s lend-lease program, allowing Ukraine to purchase weapons, and tacks on an additional $1 billion in security and reconstruction aid.

All of this while Trump is actively trying to end the war through diplomacy. You’d think Congress might let the President work before throwing more fuel on the fire.

Trump has been crystal clear about his position. He wants both sides to come to the table, make concessions, and end a conflict that has already claimed hundreds of thousands of lives and destabilized much of Europe. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky appeared to take a step in that direction, sending a letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin calling for direct, face-to-face negotiations.

Trump responded to the development on Monday, stating, “I think it would be great if they met,” and urging both parties to “get it done.” When pressed on what specific compromises he expects from each side, the President kept his cards close to his chest but made his broader expectation plain.

“I’ve been very strong on the fact that they’ve got to get that over with,” he said. “I want them each to make certain compromises. I think they’re going to do that.”

That is the kind of straightforward, results-oriented leadership that has been absent from American foreign policy for years. No endless proxy war cheerleading, no blank checks with zero accountability, just a president who wants the killing to stop and a deal to get made.

The 18 Republicans who voted for this bill owe their constituents a serious explanation. The American people are not interested in funding an open-ended conflict indefinitely, particularly when their own president is actively engaged in peace negotiations. Undermining that effort with a multibillion-dollar aid package and sweeping new sanctions does not help move things toward resolution, it complicates them.

John Bolton Pleads Guilty — Faces 60 Months In Jail, $2.25 Million In Fines

URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!

(DC Pundit) – John Bolton, the famously hawkish former National Security Advisor who spent years lecturing everyone else about national security, has agreed to plead guilty to a felony charge for mishandling classified documents.

Bolton served as NSA under President Trump during the first administration before being dismissed in September 2019. He then wrote a tell-all book titled “The Room Where It Happened,” which is actually where this whole mess began, investigators first took interest in Bolton back in 2020 after determining he used classified information to write the memoir. Nothing says “responsible steward of national secrets” quite like turning them into a book deal.

The case goes considerably deeper than a single book, however. FBI agents raided Bolton’s home last summer after evidence emerged that he had been sending “highly sensitive” classified materials to his wife and daughter from a private, unsecured email server while working at the White House. The New York Post reported that “investigators reopened a dormant probe into Bolton’s alleged use of a private email to send classified national security documents to his wife and daughter from his work desk before his dismissal by Trump in September 2019, according to a senior US official.”

It gets worse. The New York Times previously reported that the U.S. government actually discovered Bolton’s classified emails while collecting intelligence from an adversarial country’s spy service. Read that again slowly. Foreign adversaries had access to John Bolton’s email activity. The man who built his entire career on being tough on America’s enemies apparently handed those same enemies a gift.

Documents previously released confirmed that Bolton stored classified information relating to weapons of mass destruction and the United Nations, not exactly the kind of material you casually forward from a personal account.

The Biden administration, in a move that surprised absolutely nobody paying attention, quietly shelved the investigation into Bolton. It took FBI Director Kash Patel, appointed under President Trump’s second administration, to revive the probe and order the raid on Bolton’s home. Bolton now faces up to 60 months in federal prison and fines reaching $2.25 million.

It is worth noting that Bolton was a fierce critic of President Trump and made no secret of his disdain after his dismissal. He campaigned publicly against Trump, gave endless media interviews, and positioned himself as some sort of moral authority on matters of governance and national security. The irony of that posture, given what we now know, is almost too rich to process.

Accountability has arrived for John Bolton, fashionably late, but here nonetheless.

The “Tolerant” Left: Code Pink Leader Assaults Rep. Anna Paulina Luna After Congressional Hearing

URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!

(DC Pundit) – Code Pink has been pushing boundaries for years, but now one of its top organizers has decided that political harassment wasn’t quite enough, and crossed into outright physical assault on a sitting member of Congress.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) is a U.S. Air Force veteran and one of the more fearless voices in the House of Representatives. She is not exactly the type of person you want to pick a fight with. Someone should have warned the leadership of Code Pink about that before things got physical on Capitol Hill Wednesday.

Luna took to X to reveal that as she was leaving a hearing with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the top organizer of Code Pink approached her, launched into a harassment campaign, and then physically struck her arm.

“The head honcho of Code Pink here on Capitol Hill decided to try to harass me as I was leaving my hearing with Rubio and smacked my arm,” Luna stated. “I have no issues answering questions, but the moment you touch me, you cross a line.”

While Luna did not name the individual, all signs point to Medea Benjamin, the primary organizer and co-founder of Code Pink. Benjamin has a long and well-documented history of disrupting congressional hearings, confronting government officials, and generally making a nuisance of herself in Washington.

The assault reportedly followed Luna’s pointed questioning of Secretary Rubio regarding Code Pink’s well-documented ties to the Chinese Communist Party, a perfectly legitimate line of inquiry, given the organization’s track record of advocacy that consistently seems to align with Beijing’s interests. Asking uncomfortable questions about a communist-linked organization apparently set someone off.

Luna made clear she will be pressing charges, and rightly so. An assault is an assault, badge of political activism or not.

She also called on House Speaker Mike Johnson to ban Code Pink from Capitol Hill entirely.

That is a completely reasonable demand. There is no scenario in which an organization with known ties to a foreign adversarial government should enjoy unfettered access to the U.S. Capitol, let alone be permitted to physically accost elected officials in its hallways.

Code Pink routinely disrupts the functioning of the United States government while enjoying the very freedoms that government provides, freedoms that don’t exist in the communist nations they seem so fond of defending. The question now is whether Speaker Johnson and other officials will have the backbone to hold these people accountable. Charges should be filed and access should be revoked. Anything less sends exactly the wrong message.

WATCH: Principal Steps In To Stop Woke Valedictorian’s Stunning Anti-ICE, Pro-Palestine Graduation Speech

URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!

(DC Pundit) – There’s a reason commencement speeches go through an approval process. Apparently, Clayton High School senior Leen Hijaz didn’t get that memo, or simply chose to ignore it.

Hijaz earned the honor of delivering her school’s commencement address in North Carolina thanks to her academic achievements. It’s a well-deserved privilege extended to students who demonstrate excellence. What it is not, however, is an open invitation to commandeer a graduation ceremony and turn it into a political soapbox. Someone should have explained that distinction beforehand.

According to The New York Post, Hijaz ditched her pre-approved remarks midway through her speech to launch into a rant against ICE and push pro-Palestine propaganda to a captive audience of graduating students and their families, people who showed up to celebrate an achievement, not sit through a political lecture.

“Before I leave the stage, I have one last thing to say. Every single person here has a voice; we have the privilege to use it when millions around the world are struggling and suffering to be heard,” Hijaz stated before going off script.

“Whether it’s the millions suffering in Palestine, Sudan, Congo, Afghanistan, and so many other countries around the world, or families being torn apart by ICE. These are not just an issue here; they are happening there, they’re happening right here as I speak,” she continued.

As Hijaz pressed on — “My point is, we’re not given a voice to stay silent” — Principal Melissa Moore had heard enough. Moore walked directly onto the stage, pulled the microphone away, and escorted Hijaz off.

Good for Principal Moore. That took backbone, and frankly, it’s the kind of decisive leadership that’s been sorely missing in far too many American schools these days.

Hijaz, predictably, was not pleased. She later complained that she was only able to deliver half of her speech and, brace yourself, claimed she felt “oppressed.” Getting your microphone cut at a graduation ceremony you hijacked for unauthorized political theater is not oppression. It’s consequences. There’s a difference, and perhaps that’s the most valuable lesson she’ll take away from the whole episode.

Educators who enforce boundaries and protect the integrity of school events deserve support, not condemnation. Principal Moore did exactly what any responsible administrator should do when a student decides the rules don’t apply to them. Here’s hoping more school leaders around the country take note.

SICK: Kirkwood School Board President Caught Calling For President Trump’s Murder

URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!

(DC Pundit) – Kirkwood, Missouri, is one of those picture-perfect American suburbs that families dream about. Located roughly 15 miles west of St. Louis, the city holds the distinction of being the first planned suburb west of the Mississippi River, having been established in 1853. Parents flock there for its reputable school system, tight-knit community feel, and the kind of safe, wholesome environment where you’d expect school board leaders to, oh, I don’t know, support children rather than call for the murder of a sitting president.

Apparently, nobody sent that memo to Judy Moticka.

Moticka, the current president of the Kirkwood School Board, recently took to Facebook to post “8647” — a now-infamous coded call among the radical left to assassinate President Donald Trump. The number combines “86,” slang for eliminating someone, with “47,” referencing Trump’s status as the 47th President of the United States. It’s the same coded language used by indicted former FBI Director James Comey, who posted a photo of the number on social media.

The woman helping oversee the education of Kirkwood’s children publicly called for the killing of the President of the United States on social media, and had zero reservations about it.

Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt brought Moticka’s post to the public’s attention by highlighting it on X, ensuring voters and parents in Kirkwood got a look at exactly who is sitting at the head of their school board.

This is the state of modern left-wing leadership in America, people entrusted with shaping young minds who apparently can’t control their own. Parents in Kirkwood who believed their children were receiving a well-rounded, responsible education might want to take a much closer look at who’s running the show. Because nothing says “role model” quite like publicly endorsing political violence against an elected president.

Moticka’s post is deeply irresponsible and dangerous. At a time when there have been multiple actual assassination attempts against President Trump, this kind of rhetoric from a public official is beyond reckless. It’s the sort of behavior that demands immediate accountability.

The parents of Kirkwood deserve better. Their children certainly do.

30-Year Study: Trans Kids Given Gender Affirming Care Suffer SIX TIMES MORE Psychiatric Breakdowns

URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!

(DC Pundit) – A major 30-year study out of Finland has confirmed what common sense has been screaming for years: adolescents who identify as “transgender” end up with far more mental health troubles after “gender reassignment” procedures like irreversible genital mutilation surgery and hormone therapy.

The research, published in the medical journal Acta Paediatrica, tracks real outcomes instead of activist talking points. It stands as yet another body blow to the radical transgender movement, which keeps pushing experimental interventions on confused young people despite mounting evidence of harm.

The study itself points out the gap between hype and reality: “often suggested to be beneficial, even vital, for the mental health of adolescents suffering from GD [gender dysphoria], but the evidence supporting subsequent improvements in mental health, quality of life, or functioning is very limited.”

Researchers examined 2,083 individuals referred to gender identity clinics in Finland between 1996 and 2019, all under age 23 at referral, and compared them to controls. The results were stark. For some, especially young men identifying as female, psychiatric problems exploded afterward. “Among adolescents who underwent medical gender reassignment, psychiatric morbidity increased markedly during follow-up, rising from 9.8% to 60.7% in feminising gender reassignment and from 21.6% to 54.5% in masculinising gender reassignment.”

Even after adjusting for previous treatment, the risks remained sky-high. “After adjusting for prior psychiatric treatment, all gender-referred adolescents had similarly elevated risks of psychiatric morbidity, with hazard ratios approximately three times higher than female controls and five times higher than male controls,” the researchers found.

In plain English, these kids already struggled with serious underlying issues, and the surgeries and hormones often made things worse, especially depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts. The study concludes: “These adolescents had markedly higher psychiatric morbidity than controls before and after referral, with treatment needs often persisting and even intensifying after medical interventions — on some, they might even have a negative impact.”

This shouldn’t shock anyone with a functioning brain. We don’t let minors buy beer, cigarettes, or sign contracts because they lack maturity. Yet somehow the same crowd insists it’s enlightened to let emotionally unstable teens chop off body parts or start a lifetime of cross-sex hormones.

This Finnish data lines up with growing regret stories, like the New York case where a jury awarded $2 million to a young woman whose doctors rushed to remove her breasts at age 16. That verdict signaled the tide is turning against this medical scandal.

Conservatives have warned for years that this wasn’t healthcare, it was ideological experimentation dressed up as compassion. The left’s obsession with transgender ideology ignores biology and basic child protection. While they lecture everyone about “science,” actual long-term studies keep proving their approach inflicts lasting damage.

Parents and policymakers paying attention should treat this as a clear signal: protect kids from irreversible decisions they’ll regret. Real care means addressing root mental health problems, not mutilating bodies in pursuit of a fantasy. The evidence keeps piling up, and this radical experiment on our youth needs to end.

CALIFORNIA SHOCKER? Gov. Newsom Say’s He’ll Impose A “100% Tax” On Relief Payments To Victims

URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!

(DC Pundit) – California Governor Gavin Newsom has once again shown exactly why so many Americans are fleeing his mismanaged state. He’s announced plans to slap a 100% tax on any California residents who receive payouts from President Donald Trump’s new $1.776 billion anti-weaponization fund.

This comes after President Trump wisely dismissed a massive $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS and instead set up the fund to “hear and redress claims of others who suffered weaponization and lawfare.” Let’s call this what it is: a long-overdue effort to help victims of the weaponized federal bureaucracy that plagued conservatives for years under the previous administration. Newsom, never one to miss a chance to punish Trump supporters, is fighting back the only way he knows how, by reaching into Californians’ pockets.

“Anyone from California that receives any of those funds we want to tax 100 percent of those proceeds,” Newsom told reporters during a press conference in his office, according to Politico. He dismissed the whole thing as a “slush fund.” The irony here is rich. California already struggles with sky-high taxes, homelessness, and businesses bolting for red states, yet Newsom wants to punish his own residents for accepting help against government abuse. It’s almost as if protecting citizens from federal overreach threatens the left’s favorite political tool.

Legal observers are calling Newsom’s scheme an illegal bill of attainder, an act that punishes specific people without a trial. Article 1, Section 9, Clause 3 of the Constitution explicitly forbids this kind of targeting. But when has the modern Democratic Party let little things like the Constitution get in their way?

This isn’t isolated madness. In New York, Democratic State Assemblyman Alex Bores introduced legislation to tax 100% of any funds received from the payouts. Bores is running to replace retiring Democratic Rep. Jerry Nadler in Congress. In New Jersey, Democratic state lawmaker Sen. Andrew Zwicker is pushing a similar bill, calling the 100% tax a “brilliant counter to Trump’s corruption” in an interview with Politico.

President Trump defended the fund in a Truth Social post, stating it is to help people who have been “badly abused by an evil, corrupt, and weaponized Biden Administration.”

For context, this all traces back to the 2019 leak of Trump’s tax records during his first term. Former IRS contractor Charles Littlejohn was sentenced to five years in prison in January 2024 after pleading guilty to releasing 15 years of Trump’s tax records to media outlets. The original lawsuit was filed by Trump against the IRS and Treasury Department in a Miami Federal Court in January 2026 over the alleged mishandling of that protected information.

Here’s the bigger picture conservatives understand all too well: the left spent years cheering the weaponization of government agencies against their political enemies. Now that President Trump is in office delivering actual justice and relief, blue-state Democrats are scrambling to block everyday Americans from receiving fair redress. It’s petty, vindictive, and reveals their true priority: power over people.

Newsom’s latest stunt will likely drive even more productive Californians to pack up and head to freedom-loving states. Meanwhile, President Trump continues proving he’s serious about draining the swamp and protecting citizens from the very abuses Democrats now desperately defend.

Antifa Riots Spiral Out Of Control As Police Rush In And Make Arrests At ICE’s Delaney Hall (VIDEOS)

URGENT: CLICK TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE LEFT!

(DC Pundit) – For months, Antifa agitators have been making life miserable outside the Delaney Hall ICE detention center in Newark, New Jersey. They’ve harassed staff, blocked access, and generally behaved like the law didn’t apply to them. Turns out, all it took to end the circus was the right person picking up the phone.

Late Sunday night, New Jersey law enforcement moved in and swept up the Antifa rioters who had been staging their prolonged blockade outside the facility. The Department of Homeland Security wasted no time celebrating the result, posting a blunt message for anyone still thinking about trying their luck: “ZERO tolerance for rioters.”

Short, direct, and to the point. Someone in the Trump administration has clearly figured out how communication works.

DHS officials made clear they were pleased with the outcome, highlighting the successful shutdown of a protest operation that had been allowed to fester for far too long. The intervention, however, didn’t come from some sudden awakening of civic duty on the part of New Jersey’s Democratic leadership. It came because President Donald Trump’s homeland security chief, Markwayne Mullin, threatened to pull customs officers out of nearby Newark Liberty International Airport. Nothing motivates a Democratic governor quite like an economic consequence with her name on it.

That governor is Mikie Sherrill, a Democrat who took office earlier this year. To her credit, and this is not a sentence conservatives get to write very often about New Jersey Democrats, she ordered state police to clear the demonstrators once Mullin’s threat landed. The results were immediate and effective. The Antifa crowd was driven away from the detention center, and the operation produced what can only be described as lamentations from Antifa women who apparently expected a different outcome.

Sherrill’s decision was not universally applauded within her own party. Progressive groups and Antifa-aligned organizations howled in protest at the crackdown, while Democratic legislators reportedly responded with a quiet mixture of anger and acceptance. Translation: they were furious but smart enough to realize there was nothing they could do about it.

This is precisely how the Trump administration’s pressure campaign is supposed to work. When the federal government makes clear there are real consequences for enabling chaos, even reluctant Democratic governors eventually blink. Sherrill blinked. The mob dispersed. The ICE facility can now operate without running a daily gauntlet of radical protesters.

It shouldn’t have taken months of harassment and a threat to Newark’s airport to make this happen. But in the current political climate, a win is a win, and the message from DHS couldn’t be clearer: the days of Antifa operating as an untouchable street force outside federal facilities are over.
