President Trump to Issue Executive Order Declaring English the Official Language of the U.S.

President Donald J. Trump is set to issue an executive order on Friday declaring English the official language of the United States. The order will rescind a directive by former President Bill Clinton mandating federal agencies and entities receiving federal funding provide alternatives for non-English speakers.

Since its founding, the United States has never had an official language at the federal level. However, surveys consistently show elevating English to official status is politically popular and that most Americans believe those residing in the country should speak the predominantly native language. According to Pew Research, just over eight in ten American adults say speaking English is very or somewhat important to “truly be American.”

While President Trump’s executive order rescinds the Clinton-era directive, it does not bar federal agencies from continuing to provide language assistance for non-English speakers. The Trump White House contends the President’s order will help to establish greater civic cohesion, promote national unity, and streamline government services.

Individuals seeking to become naturalized U.S. citizens already have to demonstrate an ability to speak, read, and write in English—which nearly 80 percent of Americans speak at home. Around 30 states have also passed laws making English the official language at the state level.

Notably, during his time in the U.S. Senate, Vice President J.D. Vance introduced legislation along with Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) that directed the federal government to conduct all official business in English.

DATA: Even Democrat Voters Support the DOGE ‘Dividend Checks’ Initiative.

President Donald J. Trump‘s proposal to distribute $5,000 “dividend checks” to Americans through savings from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has significant public support, according to a new poll. Conducted by J.L. Partners on February 24-25, the survey found that 67 percent of the 1,001 registered voters surveyed favor the one-time payment. Of these, 46 percent expressed strong support, while 21 percent were somewhat supportive.Only 12 percent opposed the proposal.

The poll indicates robust cross-party backing for the dividend. Notably, 79 percent of Republicans and 60 percent of Democrats support the measure, revealing potential bipartisan appeal. Additionally, the proposal could sway voting behavior, with 29 percent of independents and 24 percent of Democrats indicating the payout might influence them to vote Republican.

Despite public enthusiasm, the proposal’s success depends on DOGE‘s ability to significantly reduce federal spending. DOGE frontman Elon Musk has acknowledged the challenge, describing the $2 trillion savings goal as ambitious. During an interview with strategist Mark Penn, Musk admitted that achieving even half of the target would be deemed a success.

“It’s money taken away from the things that are destructive to the country, and from organizations that hate you, to you. That’s awesome—that’s, like, glorious. The spoils of battle,” Musk said of the dividend check concept while speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) last week.

James Fishback—a DOGE adviser and the originator of the dividend check idea—remains optimistic, crediting the proposal’s momentum to President Trump’s support.

Former Polish PM Charged with Power Abuse Over Mail-In Election.

Poland’s former prime minister is facing legal troubles relating to his decisions during the COVID-19 pandemic. Mateusz Morawiecki, a member of the conservative Law and Justice party (PiS), is accused of exceeding his authority by attempting to conduct the 2020 presidential election exclusively through mail-in voting despite an alleged lack of legal foundation.

Initially set for May 2020, this election was postponed and conducted in person several weeks later, with PiS ally Andrzej Duda winning. The aborted postal vote process reportedly cost taxpayers at least $17.5 million. On Thursday, Morawiecki attended the District Prosecutor’s Office in Warsaw. He has defended his actions by arguing that his efforts in 2020 aimed to ensure a timely presidential election amidst the pandemic, citing global uncertainty and numerous fatalities.

The former prime minister insisted that his prosecution is politically motivated on the part of successor Donald Tusk’s globalist government. Tusk and his government have gone after several conservative politicians and media executives since coming to power in 2023, including having police storm Poland’s presidential palace to arrest politicians last year, despite the fact they had been issued pardons for their supposed crimes.

The Polish state has also gone after critics of Tusk, arresting a 52-year-old man who compared the prime minister to Adolf Hitler, for instance.

UK Deportations Increase, But Overall Returns Remain Low.

British deportations have reached a six-year high—but this amounts to fewer than 9,000 people overall, and an increase in illegal immigration is substantially outpacing it. A total of 8,164 foreigners faced enforced returns last year, marking a 28 percent increase compared to the previous year. This figure represents the highest annual count since 2018, which saw 9,236 deportations.

Britain’s Home Office—roughly equivalent to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security—categorizes returns into three types: enforced returns managed directly by the agency, voluntary returns where individuals leave of their own volition, often with assistance, and port returns for those denied entry near the border. Last year, voluntary returns peaked at 25,186—the highest since 2016—while port returns saw a slight decline from the previous year to 23,009.

Four nationalities comprised nearly two-thirds of enforced returns in 2024, with Albanians leading at 32 percent, followed by Romanians, Brazilians, and Poles. Albanians make up a large percentage of those coming to Britain by boat from France.

The total number of illegals living in the United Kingdom was estimated to be as high as 1.2 million in 2017, with a study released last year suggesting that the country has the most illegal immigrants of any European country.

AG Bondi Says NY FBI Withholding Epstein Docs, Demands Investigation.

Attorney General Pam Bondi says the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is withholding documents relating to former billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Bondi has sent a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel calling for the papers to be delivered.

The letter, dated February 27, states that Bondi and the DOJ were given around 200 pages of documents from the FBI. These mainly were flight logs and Epstein’s contacts. Bondi says that the FBI claimed the documents sent were all the agency had. However, she discovered that an FBI field office in New York has access to thousands more pages of documents it had failed to hand over.

In her letter to Patel, she demands that all Epstein documents, including video and audio recordings, be delivered to her office by 8 AM on February 28. Bondi also instructs Director Patel to launch an investigation into why the order to release the documents was not followed and present proposed “personnel action” within two weeks.

The release of the Epstein documents was a campaign promise made by President Donald J. Trump. The Trump administration has been dedicated to transparency efforts in its first weeks, also moving to declassify files linked to the assassinations of former President John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy Sr., and Martin Luther King Jr.

‘Trust in Allah’ Signs Blanket London as King Charles Hands Out Ramadan Treats.

Public lampposts in London, England, governed by Muslim Mayor Sadiq Khan, have been festooned with banners instructing viewers to ‘Trust in Allah’ and ‘Give Zakat’—a form of charitable donation mandated by Islam. The banners were produced by Islamic Relief, an Islamic charity likely hoping to benefit financially from such Zakat donations.

Images of the Islamic Relief banners went viral on social media after being flagged by Shahar Ali of the far-left Green Party, who argued, “These are public lampposts & public sphere must remain secular, without fear or favour to any particular religion or lack of faith.” Social conservatives agreed the banners were inappropriate but for different reasons, with Anglican minister Calvin Robinson arguing, “The United Kingdom is not a secular state. It is a Christian country… I have a problem with this level of religious advertising [because it] should be distinctly Christian in nature.”

Adding another layer of controversy to the situation, Islamic Relief has received millions of pounds in taxpayer funding through government grants and contracts in recent years. This is despite the fact the charity and its worldwide branches are frequently mired in controversy, with the U.S. State Department cutting ties in 2020 over the “anti-Semitism exhibited repeatedly by [its] leadership” and the German government accusing it of “significant connections” to the Muslim Brotherhood the same year.

In another sign of Islam’s growing influence over Britain’s national life, King Charles III and his wife, Queen Camilla, shared a video of themselves packing dates to be sent to Muslims as special treats during Ramadan, which they described as a “holy month” despite the King’s status as the Supreme Governor of the Church of England and his Coronation Oath to “maintain the Laws of God and the true profession of the Gospel” and “to the utmost of my power maintain in the United Kingdom the Protestant Reformed Religion established by law.”

Other forms of Islamic appeasement are more sinister, with a man who was stabbed by a Muslim man and kicked by a passing Muslim delivery driver during a Koran-burning demonstration in London being charged with religiously motivated harassment in recent weeks.

Rape Gang Hotspot Receives ‘Town of Culture’ Award.

Rochdale, a hotspot for Britain’s predominantly Muslim, Pakistani-heritage “grooming” gangs, comprised of pedophiles drugging, raping, pimping, and—occasionally—killing mostly white working-class victims, has been named Greater Manchester’s ‘Town of Culture’ for 2025 and 2026 by Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham, of the far-left Labour Party.

The award was announced in the House of Commons by Paul Waugh, the Labour Member of Parliament (MP) for Rochdale, and welcomed by Leader of the House of Commons Lucy Powell on behalf of Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer‘s Labour government. “It’s got a fantastic cultural heritage,” Powell said of Rochdale.

Along with Rotherham, Rochdale is the most infamous rape gang epicenter in Britain, being one of the first locations where the scandal emerged into full view. Thousands of girls were abused by the gangs across the country over several decades, with the authorities, including police and child protective services, turning a blind eye to them due to a combination of contempt for the victims and fear of being accused of racism by the perpetrators. However, until the beginning of 2025, no public officials or former public officials were charged with misconduct in public office over any of the scandals, despite multiple official inquiries finding “institutional” failings.

Rochdale’s ‘Town of Culture’ status is not the first slap in the face to rape gang victims, with Rotherham previously being shortlisted for a ‘Social Worker of the Year’ award, despite the town’s social workers being heavily implicated in grooming gang failures.

Jake Tapper Admits Biden’s Mental Decline and Media Cover-Up — After Repeatedly Denying It.

CNN’s Jake Tapper is claiming he has been covering former President Joe Biden‘s cognitive decline “for years” as he hawks a new book titled Original Sin: President Biden’s Decline, Its Cover-Up, And His Disastrous Decision to Run Again, based on interviews with many Democratic Party insiders.

Despite once claiming that “Joe Biden has dementia” was a narrative pushed by “the Russians,” Tapper is now denouncing Biden’s decision to seek reelection. Tapper and co-author Alex Thompson, of Axios, now say that Biden’s declining faculties were hidden from the public, with Tapper claiming CNN viewers “know” he has “been covering the concerns about President Biden’s age and health for years.” However, he was, in fact, one of Biden’s top apologists.

In a 2020 interview with Lara Trump, for instance, Tapper slammed Lara Trump for highlighting Biden’s mental deterioration, alleging she was “mocking” people with stutters—including “little kids”—and that she had “no standing” to “diagnose” the elderly Democrat.

The book comes as Tapper faces legal challenges. He was central to a defamation case in which Navy veteran Zachary Young accused CNN of misrepresenting him as an “illegal profiteer” during the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. CNN was ordered to compensate Young with $5 million in damages.

Chief Justice Roberts Upholds Freeze on U.S. Foreign Aid Payments.

U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts issued an administrative stay late Wednesday night on a federal judge’s order that the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the State Department release over $1.5 billion to non-governmental organizations (NGOs) overseas. The stay order is a provisional win for President Donald J. Trump, who argued in an emergency appeal to the high court that U.S. District Court Judge Amir H. Ali’s ruling exceeded judicial authority and encroached on presidential power.

The midnight deadline initially set by Judge Ali required immediate financial action from the agencies, but Chief Justice Roberts’ intervention maintains the current situation while a more thorough review is conducted. The challengers involved in the case have been instructed to submit a response by Friday, with the Supreme Court expected to deliberate and decide on the next steps shortly thereafter.

President Trump’s appeal is the first in a series of potential Supreme Court cases related to a range of executive orders enacted by the America First leader since his inauguration on January 20, 2025.

Meanwhile, consistent with the administration’s policy to reduce overseas spending, attorneys announced the termination of nearly 10,000 contracts and grants managed by USAID and the State Department. Only around 500 contacts have been retained.

One of former President Joe Biden’s final judicial appointments, Judge Amir H. Ali has deep ties to numerous NGO groups. He once served as the executive director of the MacArthur Justice Center, for instance.

Judge Ali was narrowly confirmed by the U.S. Senate in November, 50 to 48, with both Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Mike Braun (R-IN) absent at the time. Braun was preparing his transition to serving as Governor of Indiana.

Trump to Host UK PM Starmer at White House for Talks on Ukraine, Tariffs, & NATO Spending.

President Donald J. Trump will meet with British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer at the White House on Thursday, marking the America First leader’s second visit by a foreign leader. Earlier this week, Trump and French President Emmanual Macron met to discuss a peace process to end the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine and President Trump’s plans for reciprocal tariffs.

It is expected that Trump’s conversation with Starmer will focus on similar subjects—the Ukraine peace process and Trump’s tariff plans. On Wednesday, The National Pulse reported that President Trump is eyeing a 25 percent tariff on the European Union (EU)—specifically targeted at automobiles and several other products. For decades, EU restrictions on importing American automobiles and steel have been a contentious issue, especially for manufacturers in the United States.

Another topic of discussion between the U.S. and British leaders will likely be the strategic Chagos Islands. Currently part of the British Indian Ocean Territory, they are in the process of being transferred by the British government to the island nation of Mauritius. However, British Foreign Secretary David Lammy confirmed earlier this week that President Donald Trump can veto the British government’s plans to hand over the islands.

There is mounting concern that Mauritius could subsequently lease one or more of the Chagos Islands to the People’s Republic of China—expanding the communist nation’s influence in the Indian Ocean and threatening U.S. and British interests. Such a move could also render a U.S. base on the Chagos island of Diego Garcia largely redundant, even if the transfer agreement between Britain and Mauritius includes an ongoing lease for the base.

Lastly, Prime Minister Starmer is expected to pledge that Britain will begin boosting its own domestic military spending—a policy President Trump has repeatedly pushed NATO alliance members to enact. It is believed Starmer will achieve this increase through reducing foreign aid.
