According to his biographer, former President Barack Obama is concerned about his legacy after his involved efforts with the Kamala Harris presidential campaign, which ended unsuccessfully with Donald Trump winning the popular vote in addition to winning every single swing state.

The liberal women are angry that men voted for Donald Trump. Women did too, but don’t tell them. The left-wing women plan to shave their heads, wear masks so men can’t see them, and they won’t have sex for four years. I am not sure that’s a punishment. They sound very dictatorial. Do what they […] The post Liberal Women Will Nuke Us Now with the 4B Movement appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

A former Trump campaign official triggered a CNN commentator this week over the subject of mass deportations and Latinos realigning with the Republican Party during last week’s elections. Giancarlo Sopo, who led Trump’s 2020 campaign efforts for Spanish language media, said Monday on “CNN News Central” that polls found that illegal immigration was one of the top reasons that Latinos voted against Vice President Kamala Harris during the election. “We simply cannot have millions of people rolling around this country who have been unvetted, many of whom have criminal backgrounds,” he said. “I agree, most of them do just come here to work and they want a better life, but we don’t know that because we don’t know who they are.” He added that he does not anticipate any kind of major backlash to border enforcement and removal proceedings. CNN’s Maria Cardona lashed out, claiming that the Latino community was going to go through “incredible pain and cruelty.” “That is not what anyone voted for,” she claimed. “And in fact, I will tell the American electorate, if the administration, if the incoming Trump administration goes through this, here’s the people that they’ll go after. They’re going after your kids’ classmates. They’re going after your delivery guy. They’re going after the people who take care of your kids. They’ll go after the people who work in restaurants. They’ll go after the business owners in your community. They’ll go after the people who live and work and who own the farmer’s markets that you love going to on weekends.” She claimed that Trump’s “CEO friends” would “go crazy” if they did not have anyone to “pick fruits and vegetables.” WATCH: @GiancarloSopo TRIGGERS Maria Cardona on CNN in debate over mass deportations.

These groups do not speak for our community. They are way to the left of your average Latino. We’re not worried about pronouns. We are worried about prosperity.” More @GiancarloSopo vs. CNN’s Maria Cardona, including Cardona insisting liberal Hispanic groups never came up with Latinx and Cardona falsely claiming there wasn’t an uproar over Biden calling Laken Riley’s alleged murder an illegal immigrant: Sopo: “[T]he Hispanic community… pic.twitter.com/AQt2yYqq7j — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) November 11, 2024

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) pledged to uphold President-elect Donald Trump‘s foreign policy of “America First peace through strength leadership” after he selected the congresswoman on Monday to serve as his U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Less than a week after winning a second term in the White House, Trump has quickly begun to put together a team for his Cabinet. Stefanik, who just won a sixth term and currently holds the House Republican Conference chair position, was one of his first picks, along with former Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) to lead the EPA. My statement on accepting President Donald J. Trump’s nomination to serve in his Cabinet as Ambassador to the United Nations: I am truly honored to earn President Trump's nomination to serve in his Cabinet as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. During my conversation with… — Elise Stefanik (@EliseStefanik) November 11, 2024 In a statement, Stefanik said she was “truly honored” to be picked, adding, “During my conversation with President Trump, I shared how deeply humbled I am to accept his nomination and that I look forward to earning the support of my colleagues in the United States Senate.” She declared “Trump’s historic landslide election has given hope to the American people and is a reminder that brighter days are ahead — both at home and abroad. America continues to be the beacon of the world, but we expect and must demand that our friends and allies be strong partners in the peace we seek.” If confirmed by the Senate — or installed via recess appointment — Stefanik would take on the role held by Linda Thomas-Greenfield, who has served as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations under the Biden administration since being confirmed by the Senate in early 2021. “The work ahead is immense as we see antisemitism skyrocketing coupled with four years of catastrophically weak U.S. leadership that significantly weakened our national security and diminished our standing in the eyes of both allies and adversaries,” Stefanik said. “I stand ready to advance President Donald J. Trump’s restoration of America First peace through strength leadership on the world stage on Day One at the United Nations.” Much of the rest of Stefanik’s statement focused on being a member of Congress for the past decade, including becoming the youngest woman elected to Congress at the time in 2014, and representing New York’s 21st Congressional District. “My family and I are excited for this next chapter in New York and Washington to work hard to serve our country on President Donald Trump’s team,” Stefanik said. “No matter where this journey takes us, Upstate New York — the cradle of the American Revolution v will always be my heart and home.” Trump also released a statement, announcing that he was nominating Stefanik to be his U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. “I am honored to nominate Chairwoman Elise Stefanik to serve in my Cabinet as United States Ambassador to the United Nations. Elise is a strong and very smart America First fighter. She graduated from Harvard University, with honors, was the youngest woman ever elected to Congress, and is the highest ranking woman in Congress, as the House Republican Conference Chair,” he said. Stefanik “was the first Member of Congress to endorse me, and has always been a staunch advocate,” Trump added. “Elise is a senior Member of the House Armed Services Committee, the House Intelligence Committee, and led the charge against antisemitism on college campuses. She will be an incredible Ambassador to the United Nations, delivering Peace through Strength and America First National Security policies!”

President-elect Donald Trump has tapped Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL) to be his national security adviser when he takes office in January. The Wall Street Journal first reported Trump’s decision to select the Green Beret veteran to the position on Monday night. A source familiar with the matter confirmed the report to The Daily Wire. National security adviser is a role that is highly influential in any administration as it is responsible for briefing the president on national security matters, coordinating between national security agencies, and executing the president’s agenda. The role does not require Senate confirmation. Waltz is a well-known China hawk and should be a champion for a peace through strength approach to U.S. foreign policy. During an interview on Fox News this week, the first thing that Waltz mentioned was getting the American hostages back from Hamas. “First and foremost, in my mind, Maria, is that we still have a seven American citizens being held hostage in the tunnels of Gaza by the time of inauguration day, they will have been held longer than the Iranians held our hostages in 1979,” he said. “Think about that. I mean, what a what a failure for them, of this Biden and Harris administration’s appeasement, concessions based approach towards Iran.” “President Trump knows that if Iran is bankrupt, then they can’t send money out to all of their terrorist proxies, much less launch missiles at our great ally, Israel,” he continued. “And no president has done more for Israel than Donald J. Trump, from recognizing the Golan Heights to moving our embassy to literally just four years ago, we had peace deals being signed on the White House lawn.” WATCH: It’s no surprise that foreign leaders are eager to reconnect with President Trump. They know he brings strength, understands deterrence, and knows how to make deals that WORK. pic.twitter.com/ktvpo03C4H — Rep. Mike Waltz (@michaelgwaltz) November 11, 2024 The move comes after Trump already named Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) to U.N. Ambassador, former acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Tom Homan to be his new “border czar”, and former Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) to lead the EPA.

After a devastating horse riding accident, Michael Grimm, former Congressman, now faces the challenge of a lifetime. The tragedy underscores how life can change in the blink of an eye. Grimm has established a GoFundMe campaign for his medical expenses. The Incident and Its Impact A former Marine and Republican Congressman from New York, Michael Grimm, suffered severe injuries in a polo accident in September 2024. A fractured neck required immediate surgery, leaving him paralyzed. Grimm’s accident has shocked many, due to his rich history of service, first as a Marine, then as an FBI agent, and finally, representing New York in Congress. Newsmax host Carl Higbie confirmed that Grimm’s neck injury resulted from being thrown from his horse. As details emerged, Staten Island’s community unified to lend their support. Former City Council member Vincent Ignizio called for “prayers and a donation” to assist Grimm on his arduous path to recovery. Ex-NYC Rep. Michael Grimm ‘paralyzed from chest down’ after falling off horse in freak polo accident: ‘A lot of prayers are needed’ https://t.co/lG5LUf0gb7 pic.twitter.com/73lnt5Ad0j — New York Post (@nypost) November 10, 2024 Grimm’s Political and Personal Life Grimm served New York’s 11th congressional district from 2011 to 2015 before resigning following a tax fraud conviction. Drawn to the challenges of public service, he attempted political comebacks in 2017 and 2018, but without success. Currently, he hosts a program on Newsmax, where he continues sharing his perspectives with audiences beyond Staten Island. Grimm’s love for horse riding and polo was well-known, thus the accident was particularly tragic. This community-minded patriot, once continuously active in Staten Island politics, recently endorsed local Republican candidates, showing deep engagement even in adversity. Very tragic, Michael Grimm paralyzed from a polo accident, $78,000 raised so far, a Gofundme link is in the article, he’s getting support even from prior political opponents. https://t.co/o3WSaaGHuj — Mark Naughton (@MarkNaughton9) November 11, 2024 Community and Financial Support Michael Grimm’s situation has sparked substantial support across different quarters. The GoFundMe page titled “Help Michael Grimm Walk Again” aims for $2.5 million to afford medical expenses beyond what’s covered by insurance. The initiative emphasizes his dedication to serving others, rallying for help to cover costly rehabilitation. Ignizio’s efforts include spotlighting substantial costs and seeking community support. His heartfelt appeal for donations reflects the spirit of camaraderie among Staten Island’s residents, advocates for a man they regard as “a great friend [and] a great patriot.” His ongoing care requires both financial backing and emotional encouragement from those who recognize his past sacrifices and current needs.

The influence of Mexican drug cartels threatens both border control and the independence of the judiciary, potentially impacting U.S. strategies against transnational crime. Mexican judges fear for their lives. Things might be getting worse. Judicial Reforms and Concerns Mexico’s Senate passed a judicial reform to allow judges to be elected by popular vote. This decision has sparked controversy and protests, with critics arguing it undermines checks and balances and strengthens the ruling Morena party’s power. This shift could compromise judicial independence and create vulnerabilities to cartel influence. The reform includes provisions for “faceless” judges in organized crime cases, raising concerns about fair trial guarantees. Critics see this as a victory for President López Obrador, who has clashed with the Supreme Court. Mexico faces multiple challenges—from corruption to cartel violence to drug trafficking—that intersect with and amplify each other. But is there anything US policy can do to help Mexico's government address these problems? https://t.co/f9VQ60b3kT — Modern War Institute (@WarInstitute) November 8, 2024 Cartel Influence on Migration Migrants entering Mexico from Guatemala face significant challenges from cartels, who often control their movement more than federal agents. Many experience extortion and kidnapping, impacting their ability to attend CBP One appointments. This poses substantial risks for U.S. border security and immigration policy. This is Tom Homan, President Trump's Border Czar. His message to all the illegals who crossed the border will give you goosebumps, "You better start packing now… cause you're going home."

This scenario intensifies the struggles migrants face and complicates immigration efforts. U.S. Implications and International Responses The Jalisco New Generation drug cartel (CJNG) has significantly been involved in violent crimes, including murders and decapitations in Jalisco. The cartels’ potential influence over judicial elections provides these groups the means to consolidate power further, complicating Mexico’s judiciary’s autonomy, and affecting the U.S.’s battle against drug and human trafficking. The constitutional amendment changing the appointment of judges to elections allows cartels to potentially manipulate the judicial process through financing and intimidation. As the U.S. focuses on combating transnational crime, these developments demand a coordinated international response to address these growing threats. Sources: Migrants and the cartels.

'The choice before the House Republican conference is clear'

'First of all, where is your hair?'

In my first article of this series, Why Every Survivalist Should Be Homesteading, I talked about the importance of learning lifelong survival skills you and your family can use on your homestead. Survival skills, in my opinion, start at home. Now, I want to discuss the ins and outs of  purchasing a homestead. Things To Consider Before Purchasing A Homestead In my second article of this series, Survivalism Meets Homesteading: The To-Do List, I covered the basics of homesteading to get you started. I covered different options for food, water, cleaning products, and clothing for rural and urban homesteaders. In this article, let’s take it a little further. If you are interested in purchasing land to start a rural homestead there are things you should consider. Let’s take a quick look at what I’ll cover in this article: What will your needs be? Zoning Ordinance Road conditions and access Electricity and water access When you purchase land to start a homestead, you are investing in your future…your family’s future. Take your time to be sure the land you purchase is the right fit for you and your family. Let’s begin! Things To Consider Before Purchasing A Homestead One more thing… I want each of you to remember one thing. Homesteading is about survival. When it comes down to it, in the event of an emergency, your home is your safe haven, your fortress. It will be the best experience of your life, trust me! What Will Your Needs Be? First, let’s talk size. Not all size fits all, so to speak. Some future homesteaders want a small piece of land and some want a larger piece of land. It all depends on what you need (or want) the land for. For example, do you want a small home with just enough room for a small vegetable garden and maybe a chicken coop to raise chickens? Or do you want a bigger home with land large enough to raise cattle and possibly a large vegetable crop? Outside structures such as a barn, a shed, a bomb shelter, tornado shelter, or even a guest house should all play a part as well in the decision-making process when purchasing land for a homestead. Make it a family affair. Learn what each family member may need or want. And don’t worry; nothing will be decided overnight. As I said before, take your time. Zoning Ordinance | By definition, the zoning ordinance is written regulations and laws that define how property in specific geographic zones can be used. Zoning ordinances specify whether zones can be used for residential or commercial purposes, and may also regulate lot size, placement, bulk (or density) and the height of structures. Zoning ordinances are lengthy documents describing not only the acceptable use for specified areas of land but also the procedures for handling infractions (including any penalties), granting variances and hearing appeals. (source) This is definitely one of the most important considerations when purchasing land for a homestead. There are resources on the internet that can provide you with the information you will need and this website is a great place to start. Your real estate agent can also be of great help with zoning ordinance information for your area. Road Access And Conditions The purpose of me writing this series is based on the scenario of being homebound during an emergency due to lack of road access. However, should that not become the case, then the road conditions and access are important. Some properties have multiple routes to the nearest town. This gives you more options in the case of road closure due to bad weather, for example. Some properties are more remote and have only one way out. This may not bother some folks. Me personally? I like to have options with different routes to town. Another consideration is the physical condition of the road(s) surrounding your property. Some are asphalted and some are gravel or dirt. Again, this is the matter of personal preference due to if you have the proper vehicle(s) to withstand certain road conditions. For example, you wouldn’t want to drive a small 4 door sedan on a dirt road covered in snow. You would need a pickup for that and even then, you could possibly become stuck in snow and/or mud. Electricity and Water Access Most already established properties have electricity and running water or water access but, if the property has never been developed then these are important things to consider. This is where the knowledge of zoning ordinance in your area will be helpful should you purchase undeveloped land. For example, some areas will allow for solar and wind energy whereas some areas will not. In that case, you will have to consider other options. Your local electric provider and/or your real estate agent can help provide additional information. Some properties will have power lines in the immediate area. In this case, you should call your local electric provider for additional information on possible setup options for your property. Water access is another important consideration when purchasing land. Again, knowledge of zoning ordinance will help you in this decision should the land be undeveloped. For example, a piece of undeveloped land in certain parts of Colorado can have a well or a cistern installed but, it must comply with the local regulations.

It will not all happen overnight. Take it one step at a time…one day at a time.
