Barack Obama

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: A Democrat who once lived in the White House is now pretending to fear the very policies they helped pioneer. This week’s installment? Michelle Obama—the woman who spent eight years riding in Air Force One, dancing with Jimmy Fallon, and planting kale in the White House garden—now claims she lies awake at night fretting that Donald Trump might deport people of color. 



Please.

President Donald Trump has been laying siege to Columbia University, canceling $400 million in federal grants to the elite school. In exchange for having funds restored, Columbia's administration has agreed to capitulate to a list of demands relating to campus anti-Israel demonstrations: The university will ban protesters from concealing their identities with face masks, create new disciplinary bureaucracies to punish purportedly disruptive students, and even police the Middle Eastern studies department for alleged antisemitism.

President Donald Trump’s “largest-ever” mass deportation has led to the arrests of thousands of illegal immigrants in the first 10 days of his presidency, but the new administration has a ways to go if it intends to surpass the Obama administration’s massive first-term figures.

The operation started on Day One, Jan. 20, with arrests of illegal immigrants across the nation, and it has quickly ramped up since then. It topped 2,300 arrests in the first week, reaching approximately 5,500 in 10 days.

Three former aides to President Obama railed against President Biden for "lying" and making his defenders "look like they're full of s---" by pardoning his son Hunter after previously saying he would not do so.
