🔵 Trump Rocks Super Bowl

Good morning. It’s Sunday, February 9.

 

In addition to the history that may be made on the field, the U.S. will see a first in a seating box at the Caesars Superdome during Super Bowl LIX: a sitting president will be in attendance.

President Donald Trump confirmed last week that he would be at the stadium in New Orleans as the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles.

Trump arrived in New Orleans shortly before kickoff after telling reporters aboard Air Force One that 25 percent tariffs on steel and aluminum are coming Monday, and that Sunday was the first-ever Gulf of America Day.

Remember when Super Bowl Sunday was fun for the whole family?

Obviously, there’s a pretty big football game that day. But even if you’re not into football (or watching the same team win every single year), you could still get a kick out of the theatrics surrounding the game… the exciting coverage, the delicious party food, the Halftime Show and winning money in Super Bowl squares! And the best thing about Super Bowl Sunday is, of course, the commercials.

Well, they used to be anyway.

In recent years, it’s become commonplace for brands to drop their Super Bowl commercials days — even weeks — before the big game. The whole thing has become watered down like those “Black Friday” sales that now last for the entire month of November. The anticipation is gone.

President Trump has spoken to Russian leader Vladimir Putin on the phone to try to negotiate an end to the Ukraine war, he told The Post in an exclusive interview aboard Air Force One Friday.

“I’d better not say,” said Trump when asked how many times the two leaders have spoken.

But he believes Putin “does care” about the killing on the battlefield.

Americans think they’re getting just what they voted for with President Trump.

An overwhelming majority of Americans — 70% — believe Trump is doing exactly what he campaigned on and most of them have a favorable impression of him so far, according to a new poll.

Only 30% of respondents felt that Trump’s actions have deviated from his campaign promises and overall, the president has notched a 53% approval rating, per a CBS News/YouGov poll.

President Trump could be stuck with spending priorities set under the Biden administration for longer than congressional Republicans had hoped.

As Congress struggles to strike a bipartisan government funding deal, hopes of striking one by a March 14 shutdown deadline are fading. Some lawmakers say a stopgap measure seems like the most likely path to keeping the government funded, especially as Congress also faces an April 30 deadline to prevent automatic funding cuts.

House Appropriations Committee Chair Tom Cole (R-Okla.) said this week that the appetite is “growing” for a funding stopgap, also known as a continuing resolution (CR), that runs through September, as lawmakers run months behind in finishing up their funding bills for fiscal 2025.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and France’s Marine Le Pen headlined a rally in Madrid on Saturday by Europe’s biggest right wing bloc, buoyed by Donald Trump’s return to power and calling for “a 180-degree pivot”.

Patriots for Europe has realigned conservative forces in the European Union. It became the European Parliament’s third-largest force after Orban helped launch it last year to pull the bloc towards the conservatives.

“Yesterday we were the heretics. Today we are the mainstream… We are the future,” proclaimed Orban, sharing the stage with other leading conservatives including Dutch anti-Islam firebrand Geert Wilders, Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini and former Czech premier Andrej Babis.

President Donald Trump detailed his plans to instruct DOGE lead, Elon Musk, to probe the Education and Defense Departments for wasteful spending. The President told Fox News chief political anchor Bret Baier in an exclusive pre-Super Bowl interview that the billionaire entrepreneur has been a trustworthy ally in fulfilling his promise to cut the red tape.

“He’s not gaining anything. In fact, I wonder how he can devote the time to it,” Trump said.

“I’m going to tell him very soon… to go check the Department of Education. He’s going to find the same thing. Then I’m going to go into the military. Let’s check the military. We’re going to find billions, hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud and abuse, and the people elected me on that.”

The once-iconic Boy Scouts of America has officially changed its name on its 115th anniversary.

This renaming, effective Saturday, marks a sad day for traditional American values, as the organization succumbs to the pressures of political correctness and gender ideology, while also attempting to distance itself from its troubled past marred by a torrent of sexual abuse claims and subsequent bankruptcy.

The organization was nearly bankrupt after a series of woke decisions, including changing its policies to allow gay leaders and allowing girls to join. Those decisions had a major impact on the organization’s bottom line.
