The Left and their media allies are once again in full meltdown mode, this time over President Donald Trump doing something completely legal, completely logical, and fully consistent with the very election safeguards he’s been fighting to implement.

President Trump calmly dismantled the latest fake narrative during a roundtable discussion, where reporters attempted to manufacture outrage over his use of a mail-in ballot in Florida’s recent special election.

During Thursday’s roundtable, the President didn’t hold back when Jim Acosta’s girlfriend, Liz Landers of PBS, tried to grill him on his decision to vote by mail.

Trump dismantled the narrative that there is any comparison between a President using a legal, requested absentee ballot and the Democrats’ push for mass, unverified mail-in chaos.

Trump laid it out crystal clear for anyone with a functioning brain:

“Tell me about mail-in ballots, go ahead. You mean I used a mail-in ballot? You probably said yeah, I did. You know why? Because I’m President of the United States. And because of the fact that I’m President of the United States, I did a mail-in ballot for elections that took place in Florida because I felt I should be here instead of being in the beautiful sunshine taking— But you were in Palm Beach, sir, the last few weekends. That’s right.

And I, yeah, and I decided that I was going to vote by mail-in ballot because I couldn’t be there. Because I had a lot of different things. But, you know, we have exceptions for mail-in ballots. You do know that, right?

So if you’re away, we have an exception. If you’re in the military, we have an exception. If you’re on a business trip, we have an exception. If you’re disabled, we have an exception. And if you’re ill, if you’re not feeling good. So I was away mostly in Washington, D.C., so I used a mail-in ballot. But I appreciate the question because I know, I know it was so well-meaning.”

Truth bomb dropped. The President of the United States has national security duties, White House obligations, and a country to run. He wasn’t lounging on the beach — he was working for YOU, the American people.

And the rapid response team nailed it perfectly:

“Is Jim @Acosta’s girlfriend @ElizLanders unable to read? If she had basic comprehension skills, she’d know the SAVE America Act has commonsense exceptions for military service, illness, disability, and travel. And he’s the President of the United States.”

WATCH:

Corporate media outlets and Democrat politicians rushed to label Trump a “hypocrite,” pushing the same tired talking point that he opposes mail-in voting while using it himself.

But here’s what they conveniently ignore: Trump has NEVER opposed legal, limited, and controlled absentee voting, according to a spokesperson who told ABC News.

He has consistently drawn a clear distinction between:

  • Targeted absentee/mail-in ballots (with safeguards)
  • Mass, universal mail-in voting (with no accountability)

Even the White House reiterated that Trump supports “commonsense exceptions” for mail-in ballots—specifically for:

  • Military personnel
  • Illness or disability
  • Travel or work obligations

Trump, who spends most of his time in Washington, D.C. fulfilling presidential duties, used that exact legal framework.

That’s not hypocrisy. That’s following the law as written.

Absentee ballots for the military in the United States go back much further than most people realize.

The first official, legalized absentee voting for military members began in 1813, when Pennsylvania allowed soldiers in the War of 1812 to vote while away.

The system expanded dramatically during the Civil War (1861–1865):

  • Many states passed laws so Union soldiers could vote from the battlefield.
  • By the 1864 presidential election, most Union states allowed absentee voting for troops.

So here’s the obvious question: If soldiers risking their lives overseas have long been allowed to vote absentee… why wouldn’t the Commander-in-Chief, responsible for leading them, be afforded the same right?

The answer is simple: he is. And he used it legally.

Let’s be honest about what’s really driving this outrage.

Trump’s push for election integrity, particularly the SAVE America Act, has Democrats panicking.

The legislation:

  • Requires proof of citizenship to vote
  • Requires voter ID
  • Limits mass mail-in ballots
  • Preserves absentee voting for legitimate cases

In other words, it restores confidence in elections while protecting access for those who truly need it.

And that’s exactly why the Left is losing it.

Loyola University Campus Newspaper Apologizes for Calling Murder Suspect an ‘Illegal Immigrant’ Instead of “Rogers Park Resident”

Former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich joined Laura Ingraham on Fox News to discuss the tragic and preventable murder of 18-year-old Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman.

Early in the morning on Thursday of last week, 18-year-old Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman was shot and killed near the Chicago campus by one of Joe Biden’s illegals.

The masked gunman approached a group of students walking in the Rogers Park neighborhood and opened fire, shooting Gorman in the head. She died at the scene.

On Sunday, it was confirmed that the masked gunman who killed Gorman is a 25-year-old illegal alien from Venezuela who entered the US under the Biden Regime. Police took Jose Medina-Medina into custody.

In its coverage of the tragedy, Loyola’s campus newspaper, The Phoenix, has caved to the woke mob by changing wording in the coverage of the murder of one of its own to placate the left’s agenda.

While originally referring to Medina as an illegal immigrant, they edited the post to frame him as a “Rogers Park Resident.”

The College Fix reports:

Campus newspaper The Phoenix originally reported on the charges with an Instagram post titled: “Immigrant Man Charged in Murder of Sheridan Gorman, DHS Involved.”

The original post also referred to Medina as an “illegal immigrant.”

However, facing backlash, the student newspaper edited the post to remove the term “illegal immigrant.” The newspaper refers to Medina as a “Rogers Park Resident,” referring to the Chicago neighborhood where Loyola’s main campus is located.

An editor’s note was added to the original story, which spent almost as much time bemoaning the “harm” of calling the alleged murderer what he is than spent on the tragic death of a young woman just beginning her life.

Editor’s Note:

On March 23, a post on The Phoenix’s Instagram page carried the following headline: “Immigrant Man Charged in Murder of Sheridan Gorman, DHS Involved.”

That headline didn’t reflect the most important elements in the story, and it was taken down minutes later to prevent any further harm to affected community members.

Additionally, in the body of the original post, we described the man who was charged as an “illegal immigrant,” using language provided by the Department of Homeland Security. That language does not align with Associated Press style, nor does it align with the values of this newspaper.

No human’s existence is illegal, and we quickly changed our wording to reflect that.

We acknowledge the harm such language can cause and the power and importance of the words we choose to use. We deeply regret these errors, and we’re committed to continuing the high standards we hold for ourselves as journalists and members of the Loyola, Rogers Park and Chicago communities.

President Trump on Friday signed an executive order authorizing pay for TSA agents amid the Schumer shutdown.

Major airports across the US are experiencing delays due to TSA staffing issues.

President Trump deployed ICE agents to airports across the country to help travelers swiftly get through security lines after Democrats blocked funding for the Department of Homeland Security.

On Thursday evening, Trump announced he has instructed the Department of Homeland Security to pay the TSA Agents.

Trump said he will sign an order instructing DHS Chief Markwayne Mullin to pay TSA agents.

“The Radical Left Democrats, and their “Leader,” Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, have made it very clear where they stand, and that is, ON THE SIDE OF CRIMINAL ILLEGAL ALIENS, AND NOT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

“They are refusing to fund Immigration Enforcement unless the Republicans agree to their Open Border Policies, which will never, ever happen again. They almost destroyed our Country, allowing 25 Million People to enter from Prisons, Mental Institutions, and Insane Asylums, those that are Drug Dealers, and thousands of Murderers, many of whom killed more than one person. Because the Democrats have recklessly created a true National Crisis, I am using my authorities under the Law to protect our Great Country, as I always will do!” Trump said.

“Therefore, I am going to sign an Order instructing the Secretary of Homeland Security, Markwayne Mullin, to immediately pay our TSA Agents in order to address this Emergency Situation, and to quickly stop the Democrat Chaos at the Airports. It is not an easy thing to do, but I am going to do it! I want to thank our hardworking TSA Agents and also, ICE, for the incredible help they have given us at the Airports. I will not allow the Radical Left Democrats to hold our Country hostage any longer. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Trump said on Thursday afternoon,” Trump added.

President Trump on Friday signed the order authorizing pay for TSA agents.

Later Friday, President Trump called on the Republicans to nuke the filibuster.

“The Republicans should TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER, and VOTE! Haven’t they had enough of this nonsense from the Radical Left Lunatics that are looking to destroy our Country? MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump said.

Pentagon Will Redirect Weapons Meant for Ukraine to the Middle East

Department of War may have to prioritize the conflict in the Middle East over the never-ending war in Ukraine

Too many wars, not enough weapons and munitions.

The military operation in Iran has started affecting supplies ‌of the US military’s critical munitions, leading the Department of War to evaluate whether to redirect weapons that were originally meant for Ukraine to ​the Middle East.

Reuters reported:

“The weapons ​that could be redirected include air defense interceptor missiles ​purchased through a NATO initiative launched last year, under ⁠which partner countries buy U.S. arms for Kyiv, the ​report said.

The consideration comes as U.S. operations in the region intensify. ​Admiral Brad Cooper, the Central Command chief leading U.S. forces in the Middle East, said on Wednesday the U.S. had hit over 10,000 ​targets inside Iran and was on track to limit Iran’s ​ability to project power outside its borders.”

The ⁠Defense Department wants to ensure that US forces in the Middle East, as well as its allies, ‘have what they need to fight and win’.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte did not answer questions regarding the Pentagon’s plans.

Euronews reported:

“Rutte said it was not his place to comment on critical support, but assured that essential military equipment ‘continues to flow’ to Ukraine, alongside military intelligence from the US.

Ukrainian officials have openly voiced concerns that Washington’s attention and resources have been more focused on the Middle East.

These fears have been echoed by the European leaders. French President Emmanuel Macron said at the end of last week’s EU summit in Brussels that the Iran war ‘must not divert our attention from the support we give Ukraine’.”

The Pentagon has notified the US Congress that it will divert about $750 million in funding to ‘restock the US military’s own inventories, rather than to send additional assistance to Ukraine’.
