Egg-onomics: Why The Attempt To Blame High Prices On President Trump Is Flat Out Wrong

(DC Pundit) – President Donald Trump has found himself under fire from those on the left over the latest crisis to hit American breakfast tables: skyrocketing egg prices. As he jetted off to the Daytona 500 reporters ambushed him with questions about this egg-streme situation.

Trump, ever the master of the mainstream media, responded: “Well, there’s a flu. Before I got here, it was already at an all-time high,” he asserted. “I’ve been here for three weeks. I have had nothing to do with inflation. This was caused by Biden.”

Trump continued: “I’ll tell you what, this country has made more progress in the last three weeks than it’s made in the last four years, and we’re respected again as a country.”

Let’s take a moment to look at the facts: During Trump’s first term, egg prices were as stable as a chicken on Valium, costing around $1.32 per dozen when he first took office in January 2017. But during Biden’s tenure, prices skyrocketed to $4.15 per dozen by December 2024. That’s a nearly 200% increase.

White House spokesperson Leavitt, when questioned, had this to say: “I’m really glad you brought this up,” she said. “In 2024, when Joe Biden was in the Oval Office or upstairs sleeping, I’m not so sure, egg prices increased 65 percent.”

Leavitt went on: “The Biden Administration and the Department of Agriculture directed the MASS KILLING of more than 100 million chickens, which has led to a lack of chicken supply in this country, therefore a lack of egg supply.”

White House Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett revealed the Trump administration’s strategy: “What we need to do is have better ways with biosecurity and medication and so on to make sure that the perimeter doesn’t have to kill the chickens. We have a better, smarter perimeter.”

Hassett added that there’s no reason for a widespread culling of chickens when it’s actually ducks and geese spreading the disease.

RINO? Sen. Tom Cotton Apparently Working To Block Trump’s Pick From DOD Confirmation

0

(DC Pundit) – Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) has offered a less-than-enthusiastic critique of President Donald Trump’s choice for Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, Elbridge Colby. It seems that Cotton is determined to pull Colby’s seat out from under him.

Colby, who served as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Strategy and Force Development during Trump’s first term, was nominated by the president in December.

Trump, in his typical understated fashion, announced, “Elbridge ‘Bridge’ Colby will serve as Under Secretary of Defense for Policy.” He went on to praise Colby as “A highly respected advocate for our America First foreign and defense policy,” adding that Colby would work closely with Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth to “restore our Military power, and achieve my policy of PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH.”

However, it appears that Senator Cotton didn’t get the memo about playing nice. Reports suggest he’s been working behind the scenes to throw a wrench in Colby’s confirmation process.

In a tweet, Charlie Kirk, founder and CEO of Turning Point USA, accused Cotton of “sabotaging” Colby’s confirmation, declaring, “The effort to undermine President Trump continues in the US Senate.”

Kirk’s tweet continued, “Sen. Tom Cotton is working behind the scenes to stop Trump’s pick, Elbridge Colby, from getting confirmed at DOD. Colby is one of the most important pieces to stop the Bush/Cheney cabal at DOD. Why is Tom Cotton doing this?”

Ben Smith, Editor-in-Chief of Semafor, reported that Cotton’s opposition stems from Colby’s alleged suggestion that the U.S. could live with a nuclear-armed Iran.

A source close to Cotton stated, “Senator Cotton disagrees, opposes Iran from getting a nuclear weapon, and is addressing his policy concerns with the White House.”

This political maneuvering by Cotton unfolds against the backdrop of Trump’s vision for the Department of Defense. The president sees Colby as a key player in his “Make America Great Again” strategy. Trump’s announcement praised Colby’s Harvard College and Yale Law School pedigree.

Will Colby survive Cotton’s attempts to sabotage his confirmation?

Stay tuned, America.

NIGHTMARE: Illegal Alien Who Identifies As Transgender Arrested For Raping Boy In NYC Bathroom

(DC Pundit) – In a horrific story that reads like a fever dream conjured by Tucker Carlson after a night of watching “Law & Order: SVU” reruns, New York City has once again proven that the left’s stance on both illegal immigration and transgender rights are not only wrong, but also incredibly dangerous.

On Saturday an illegal alien from Colombia who identifies as transgender was arrested for allegedly raping a child in a public bathroom in East Harlem.

The suspect, Nicol Suarez, reportedly stalked a 14-year-old boy before following him into the bathroom at Thomas Jefferson Park.

Suarez was apparently playing a real-life version of “Catch Me If You Can,” being wanted in both Massachusetts and New Jersey for crimes that remain unknown. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement had also placed a detainer on Suarez.

Suarez was charged with first-degree rape and is currently enjoying an all-expenses-paid stay at Rikers Island. The price of admission? $100,000 bail or $250,000 bond. Prosecutors initially asked for a $1.5 million bail, but a judge reduced it to $100,000.

This case has managed to hit the trifecta of hot-button issues: immigration, transgender rights, and public safety.

As New York City continues to grapple with its ongoing illegal immigrant crisis, cases like this only add fuel to an already raging inferno of debate. Mayor Eric Adams will undoubtedly face increased pressure to address both the migrant situation and public safety concerns.

Oh Canada, Why So Salty? Team USA Stomps Canadian Team After Boos Drown Out National Anthem

0

(DC Pundit) – Over 20,000 fans at Montreal’s Bell Centre decided to drown out “The Star-Spangled Banner” with a chorus of boos just before a crucial match in the NHL’s 4 Nations Face-Off tournament.

The boo-fest began the moment Warrant Officer David Grenon of the Royal Canadian Air Force opened his mouth to sing.

Team USA took that negative energy and turned it into a metaphorical maple syrup-flavored punching bag.

The result? A sweet 3-1 victory that left Team Canada wondering if they should have saved something for actually playing hockey.

Now, let’s talk about the on-ice shenanigans. The game kicked off with more fights than a Black Friday sale at Walmart. Three separate brawls erupted within the first nine seconds. It was like watching a live-action game of Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots.

According to the New York Post, the opening faceoff saw Matthew Tkachuk and Brandon Hagel decide that hockey sticks were overrated and fists were the way to go. Not to be outdone, Brady Tkachuk and Sam Bennett, followed by J.T. Miller and Colton Parayko, joined the impromptu boxing match.

It was a family-friendly version of Fight Club, minus Brad Pitt and the whole “don’t talk about it” rule.

After this pugilistic prelude, Canada’s Connor McDavid managed to score. But the Americans responded with a goal from Jake Guentzel. Dylan Larkin then gave the US the lead with his goal, while Guentzel put the final nail in the coffin with an empty-netter.

This victory secured Team USA’s spot in the championship final, leaving Canadians to drown their sorrows in Tim Hortons coffee.

Adding a dash of political spice to this game was the presence of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in the crowd. One can only imagine his thoughts as he watched his team’s dreams of victory disappear faster than his approval ratings.

This booing incident wasn’t a one-off either. Earlier in the week, the American anthem received a similar less-than-warm welcome before the game against Finland. The U.S. went on to win that game 6-1.

All of this transpires against a backdrop of increasing political tension between the two nations. President Trump recently suggested that Canada might benefit from becoming the 51st U.S. state.

In sports, as in life, it’s not about how you start, but how you finish. And in this case, Team USA finished with a win that was sweeter than maple syrup on a stack of freedom flapjacks.

A Rise In Illegal Border Crossings Are Coming From This Country

0

(DC Pundit) – The state of Maine has become an unlikely hotspot for illegal border crossings. It seems that Romania, a country best known for Dracula and gymnasts, is now exporting a new commodity: border hoppers.

In a surge that has left officials scratching their heads, Romanian nationals have been caught at an increasing rate trying to sneak into the U.S. via Maine’s rugged wilderness.

According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data, Romanian encounters in Maine’s Houlton Sector have skyrocketed from a mere 4% in 2023 to a whopping 13% this year.

Karine Martel, spokesperson for the Canada Border Services Agency, offered this explanation: “The Canada Border Services Agency cannot speculate on why a certain percentage of Romanians try to enter illegally both in Canada and the United States.” Well, that clears things up, doesn’t it?

Ryan Brissette, a CBP spokesperson, added this regarding one incident: “The operator was able to locate two subjects moving through the forest away from the border. He was able to guide another agent to the subjects’ location.”

Recent cases have included a citizen tip leading to the capture of two Romanian youths, and a group of 20 Romanians crossing in four cars. Two were flagged in a crime database, proving that even in the world of illegal border crossings, carpooling is alive and well.

PressONE reports that many use Houlton as a transit point to reach family in New York and D.C.

Despite this influx, experts say migration to the U.S. is unlikely to surge, as Romania’s EU membership provides easier options. Plus, with Romania joining the U.S. Visa Waiver Program in March, overstaying visas may replace risky forest crossings.

NC State Employee Charged With Sickening Crimes Against Children

0

(DC Pundit) – A North Carolina State University employee has found himself facing what can only be described as some truly sickening crimes.

Jonathan Bell, a project manager at the esteemed institution, was charged by Cary Police with not one, not two, but a whopping 22 felony counts of sexual exploitation of a minor. Eight of these are first-degree charges.

Now, if you’re wondering just how deep this rabbit hole of depravity goes, brace yourself. According to warrants, some of the images and pictures in Bell’s possession featured a child as young as 2 years old. Yes, you read that right. Two. Years. Old.

During his court appearance on Thursday the prosecution revealed that this wasn’t Bell’s first rodeo. Apparently, Cary Police had received a tip last year from Google about an account potentially downloading child pornography.

“During the interview, he stated the Google accounts were his,” the prosecution said.

Bell was originally charged with one count of first-degree sexual exploitation of a minor back in September and released on a $250,000 bond. Clearly, that slap on the wrist didn’t quite drive the message home.

His defense attorney, in a valiant attempt to polish this particular turd, claimed Bell has “gone way above and beyond anything they’ve asked him to do.”

As it stands, Bell is looking at a potential maximum sentence of 231 months – that’s just over 19 years for those of us who can’t be bothered with math. It’s a timeframe that’s sure to give Bell plenty of opportunity to reflect on his life choices and perhaps take up a new, less felonious hobby. Needlepoint, anyone?

One thing’s for certain: Jonathan Bell’s next project won’t be managing anything more complex than his commissary account. And that, dear readers, is a project we can all get behind.

Maxine Waters Says The Quiet Part Out Loud: ‘We Don’t Know What All They Have On Us’

0

(DC Pundit) – Democratic Representative Maxine Waters of California accidentally let slip her fears about the newly-formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) during a Capitol Hill hearing on Wednesday. It seems the watchdog might be a bit too good at sniffing out trouble for Waters’ comfort.

While grilling Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, Waters suddenly veered off course, blurting out her concerns about the Elon Musk-led task force designed to root out fraud, waste, and abuse in government. “Well, you know what happened at Treasury and you know what happened over at the CFPB and the people of this country are being violated because all of our privacy has been taken up about Elon Musk and Trump,” Waters said. “And we don’t know what all they have on us,” she added, “our bank accounts, everything that’s in our lives.”

It’s almost as if Waters forgot she wasn’t in a private Democratic strategy meeting, but instead on the public stage, broadcasting her apprehensions to the world.

Waters’ impromptu revelation came as she asked Powell if he’d allow DOGE officials access to Federal Reserve systems. Powell responded that he couldn’t answer her question and hadn’t been contacted by DOGE yet.

The California representative’s growing opposition to DOGE and its mission to eliminate government waste is raising more eyebrows than a Botox convention. It begs the question: What exactly are Waters and her Democratic colleagues so worried about? Are there skeletons in their closets that they’d prefer stayed buried, or perhaps some government cheese they’ve been nibbling on that they’d rather keep hidden?

This outburst from Waters only strengthens the case for allowing DOGE to dig deeper. After all, if there’s nothing to hide, why the fuss? It’s like watching a toddler insist they didn’t eat the cookies while sporting a face full of chocolate crumbs.

The irony of a Democrat expressing concerns about privacy invasion is thicker than peanut butter. This is the same party that’s often accused of championing big government and increased surveillance. It seems the shoe is on the other foot now, and it’s pinching quite a bit.

Who knows? We might just find out what’s really in those “bank accounts” and “everything in our lives” that has Rep. Waters so worried. Stay tuned.

Mitch McConnell “Let The Republican Party Go To Hell”

0

(DC Pundit) – Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell has once again bucked the Republican party line. This time, McConnell cast the lone GOP vote against confirming Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence, aligning himself with every Democrat in the chamber.

This latest act of rebellion isn’t just a casual disagreement with party leadership; it’s an ongoing feud with President Donald Trump’s America First agenda. And let’s not forget, this is the same man who also thumbed his nose at Trump’s pick for Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth. McConnell might as well start wearing a “I’m with the Dems” t-shirt.

McConnell, at the ripe old age of 83, has been in power since 1985. That’s right – he’s been in Washington longer than some of you have been alive. And what does he have to show for it? Well, under his stellar leadership, the national debt has ballooned to over $35 trillion, illegal immigration has surged faster than a teenager’s hormones, and real wages for American workers have grown about as much as a chia pet in the Sahara.

His tenure has seen the enactment of Obamacare, bailouts for big banks that were “too big to fail” (unlike the average American’s savings account), and social media companies silencing individuals with all the finesse of a bull in a china shop.

Now, you might be thinking, “Surely, McConnell must have some redeeming qualities?” Well, if you consider reportedly calling Trump “stupid,” “ill-tempered,” a “despicable human being,” and a “narcissist” after the 2020 election as redeeming, then sure, he’s a regular saint.

He’s got some international intrigue thrown in for good measure: ties to the Chinese Communist Party through his wife’s family. His father-in-law, James Chao, grew up with Jiang Zemin, the former premier of China.

The Chao family’s shipping company, Foremost Group, has benefited from contracts with the Chinese military, and McConnell’s sister-in-law even sat on the board of the China State Shipbuilding Corporation. It appears that McConnell’s loyalties are stretched in more directions than a yoga instructor.

McConnell also received a present from his father-in-law that quadrupled his net worth overnight. Because nothing says “impartial political leader” like a multimillion-dollar gift from your Chinese business tycoon in-law, right?

As journalist Peter Schweizer put it, “You have this fusing of the Chao family and Mitch McConnell to the Chinese state, and it creates a circumstance, if McConnell were to do something that Beijing didn’t like, they could literally destroy the business overnight.”

For years, McConnell enjoyed a level of protection that would make Fort Knox envious. Certain “Conservative” news outlets – let’s call them the “See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil” brigade – were reportedly under extreme pressure to keep McConnell’s image squeaky clean. They wouldn’t dare pen a single syllable that might tarnish his political halo.

This kid-glove treatment begs the question: Why did Republicans tolerate this charade for so long? Whatever the reason, it seems the GOP’s commitment to protecting McConnell’s reputation left the party looking more like ostriches with their heads in the sand than the strong elephants they claim to be.

McConnell has been playing a long game of political Jenga, carefully removing pieces of his credibility while trying to keep the whole structure from toppling. But as President Trump so eloquently stated, McConnell has “let the Republican Party go to hell.”

So, there you have it, folks. Mitch McConnell: The man, the myth, the… well, let’s just say he’s certainly something. Hopefully we’ll be saying “good riddance” to him in 2026.

CAUGHT ON VIDEO: Nurses Brag About Killing Patients

0

(DC Pundit) – Two nurses from Bankstown Hospital in Sydney, Australia, have found themselves in some very hot water. Their crime? An extremely vile verbal voyage into the realm of anti-Semitism.

The duo, Ahmad Rashad Nadir and Sarah Abu Lebdeh, thought it would be a good idea to share their sickening views on a live chat app called Chatruletka. Little did they know, their digital diatribe would soon become a viral nightmare, spreading faster than a bushfire in the Outback.

Content creator Max Veifer, who apparently has a knack for unearthing the worst of humanity online, stumbled upon this treasure trove of toxicity. When Veifer revealed his Israeli origins, Nadir and Lebdeh’s reaction was not welcoming, to say the least.

Nadir, masquerading as a doctor (apparently being a nurse wasn’t enough for his ego), kicked things off with this charming tidbit: “I’m so upset that you’re Israeli. Eventually you’re going to get killed and go to Jahannam (hell), inshallah.” Clearly, Nadir missed the “do no harm” day in medical school.

Not to be outdone, Abu Lebdeh chimed in with her own brand of vitriol: “It’s Palestine’s country, not your country, you piece of s**t.” She then added, “When your time comes, I want you to remember my face so you can understand you will die the most disgusting death.”

When asked if they would treat Israeli patients, Lebdeh responded with a statement that would make the Hippocratic Oath curl up and die: “I won’t treat them, I’ll kill them… Not God forbid, I hope to God.” Nadir, not content to let his colleague hog all the horror, added his own theatrical flourish with a throat-slitting gesture, proclaiming, “You have no idea how many Israeli dogs came to this hospital, and I sent them to Jahannam.”

Unsurprisingly, this verbal vomit didn’t sit well with the powers that be. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese called the footage “sickening and shameful.” NSW Health Minister Ryan Park was also not impressed, stating, “The whole video, from start to finish, is a concern to me.”

The Nursing and Midwifery Council of NSW promptly showed Nadir and Lebdeh the door, deregistering them faster than you can say “G’day mate.” Their nursing careers in Australia are now as dead as a dingo’s dinner.

In a country known for its venomous snakes and spiders, who knew the most deadly creatures would be found wearing scrubs?

ALERT: DOGE Enters IRS Headquarters — Leftists Proceed To Freak Out

(DC Pundit) – In a move that’s got the left howling at the moon, Elon Musk and his band of government-shrinking crusaders, cleverly dubbed DOGE, have set their sights on everyone’s favorite tax-collecting behemoth: the IRS. It’s a development that’s about as welcome in liberal circles as a porcupine at a balloon factory.

Reuters announced that Gavin Kliger sauntered into IRS headquarters on Thursday. One can only imagine the collective gasp from the bureaucrats as Kliger crossed the threshold, probably feeling like a lamb entering a den of hungry wolves.

What will DOGE unearth in the labyrinthine corridors of the IRS? A basement full of ‘Audit Trump’ merchandise? The possibilities are as endless as the tax code itself.

This infiltration follows hot on the heels of President Trump’s declaration that he’d be taking a closer look at the IRS.

Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR), took to X (formerly Twitter) to sound the alarm: “My office is hearing that DOGE is now at the IRS,” he squawked. “That means Musk’s henchmen are in a position to dig through a trove of data about every taxpayer in America.”

Wyden added, “And if your refund is delayed, they could very well be the reason.” Because clearly, the IRS was a bastion of efficiency and timeliness before Musk’s team showed up.

The senator’s panic-stricken tweet sparked a symphony of liberal teeth-gnashing across social media.

In the grand tradition of Washington overreaction, some leftists are treating DOGE’s arrival at the IRS as if it were the financial equivalent of the Trojan Horse. They seem to believe Musk’s team will emerge from the belly of the IRS beast in the dead of night, armed with everyone’s Social Security numbers.

Meanwhile, conservatives are practically giddy at the prospect of the IRS getting a taste of its own medicine. After years of feeling like they’re under the agency’s microscope, they are relishing the thought of the tables being turned.
