The official theme for Mother’s Day 2025, as announced by the White House, is “Celebrating Motherhood: A Timeless Bond“. This theme emphasizes the enduring nature of the mother-child relationship and the love and support mothers provide throughout their lives.
“Thanks for being my first friend, best friend, and forever friend. Love you, Mom!”
Mother’s Day is a celebration honoring the mother of the family or individual, as well as motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society.
In President Donald Trump effort to rename everything he sees his opportunity to rename another prominent body of water.
Donald Trump Plans to Rename Another Gulf.
The Associated Press reported on Wednesday, May 7, that two senior White House officials have confirmed that — during his upcoming trip to Saudi Arabia— Trump plans to announce that the U.S. will officially be updating its lexicon to call the Persian Gulf the “Arabian Gulf” or the “Gulf of Arabia.”
While the U.S. military has referred to the body of water as the Arabian Gulf for years, the Persian Gulf name is more common among American civilians. For users in the United States, Google Maps currently lists the name as “Persian Gulf (Arabian Gulf),” while Apple Maps solely displays it as the “Persian Gulf.”
Here is the list of renamings Trump intends to do.
Gulf of Mexico becomes Gulf of America Persian Gulf becomes Gulf of Arabia November 11, Veterans Day becomes Victory Day for World War I May 8 as “Victory Day for World War II Denali, federally designated as Mount McKinley
Asked if he has to uphold the Constitution as commander-in-chief, the president responded, “I don’t know.”
Apparently Donald Trump does not take his Inauguration oath to uphold the Constitution as a meaningful process that is to be taken seriously.
After all. Trump views himself a King of America.
President Donald Trump said in an interview that aired today on NBC that he doesn’t know if he has to uphold the US Constitution as president, but said his administration will “obviously follow” what the Supreme Court decides.
The answer came during an exchange on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” when host Kristen Welker asked the president if citizens and noncitizens deserve due process in legal proceedings. The president initially responded, “I don’t know. I’m not, I’m not a lawyer. I don’t know.”
Pressed further by Welker, who cited the Fifth Amendment’s due process clause, the president said he was elected to deal with immigration and the “courts are holding me from doing it.”
“I don’t know. I have to respond by saying, again, I have brilliant lawyers that work for me, and they are going to obviously follow what the Supreme Court said. What you said is not what I heard the Supreme Court said. They have a different interpretation,” the president said.
Donald Trump is quite literally trying to rewrite history.
The president was mocked on Thursday, May 1, after taking to Truth Social with a bizarre rant about World War II, as he called for Americans to celebrate the end of the war on May 8 — which marked the official surrender of all German military operations in 1945 — despite the United States’ battles continuing until September 2 of that year, when Japan officially surrendered.
“Many of our allies and friends are celebrating May 8th as Victory Day, but we did more than any other country, by far, in producing a victorious result on World War II. I am hereby renaming May 8th as Victory Day for World War II and November 11th as Victory Day for World War I,” Trump wrote via his social media platform, ignoring the fact that November 11 is Veterans Day — which honors those who served in the United States Armed Forces.
In his post, the POTUS added: “We won both Wars, nobody was close to us in terms of strength, bravery, or military brilliance, but we never celebrate anything — That’s because we don’t have leaders anymore, that know how to do so! We are going to start celebrating our victories again!”
In a blistering cover this week, the outlet portrayed a wounded and bandaged symbolic eagle under the headline “Only 1,361 Days To Go.”
That would be the amount of time left in Trump’s presidency after his first 100 days is up at the end of the month. He has spent his first months dismantling government agencies, sparking a trade war, defying the courts over deportations and trying to strong-arm Ukraine into submitting to its invader, Russia.
The Economist summed up his strategy in the cover story, which examines the “lasting harm” he has already done:
“The method is to bend or break the law in a blitz of executive orders and, when the courts catch up, to dare them to defy the president. The theory is one of unconstrained executive power—the idea that, as Richard Nixon suggested, if the president does something then it’s legal.”
This injured eagle might need more than bandages to heal.
“Trump’s ‘will he, won’t he’ tariff chaos is just one more con on working people.”
That’s what Melinda St. Louis, Global Trade Watch director at the watchdog group Public Citizen, said in a Wednesday statement after U.S. President Donald Trumpannounced a 90-pause for what he has called “reciprocal” tariffs, excluding China.
It seems Donald Trump wants a recession. Why? A recession will drive down the price of real estate, companies, and shares of stock. Trump and his fellow billionaires want o buy everything on the cheap and then enjoy the ride upward-no matter the cost to working people.
“OUR PLAN IS WORKING PERFECTLY AND IS JUST A NEGOTIATING TACTIC BUT IT IS ALSO GOING TO BE PERMANENT AND WE WILL BE THE WORLD LEADER IN TEXTILES AND NOW THERE IS A PAUSE AND EVERYONE NEEDS TO CHILL BUT ALSO WE WILL NEVER BACK DOWN AAAAAAHHHHHH.”
• Trade negotiations: Trump just defended his tariff policy in a Cabinet meeting, saying his administration is “working on deals” with multiple countries. Earlier today, the EU announced it would pause its retaliatory US tariffs for negotiations. Even after Trump’s U-turn, economists say the damage is done.

CNN‘s black sheep and resident MAGA supporter, Scott Jennings, had a hilarious reaction to President Trump’s recent tariffs that sunk the stock market.
Jennings, a frequent conservative contributor on the network, joined anchor John Berman on Friday’s broadcast of CNN News Central with Meghan Hays, a Democratic strategist, to sound off on the impact of Trump’s tariffs.
At the end of the segment, the stock market ticker was displayed on the screen near Jennings, who hid under the table in an effort to escape it.
Berman jokingly apologized to Jennings for having the stock market ticker in front of him on screen.
‘Why didn’t you put it by Meghan? Can we just shove it to the other side of the screen? I don’t understand. I feel like you did this on purpose,’ Jennings joked.
One thing we do know is that people thinking about buying a car or large appliances are shopping now before the prices go up.
Berman coyly responded that moving the ticker to the other side of the screen won’t change the problem for Republicans.
When the camera panned out, the ticker was still positioned near Jennings and Berman joked that it was ‘following’ him.
‘Literally! Let me just get down here,’ Jennings responded as he hid under the table to escape the plummeting stock market.

One thing we do know is that people contemplating a car purchase or a large appliance purchase are shopping to complete that purchase this weekend.
“NPR and PBS, two horrible and completely biased platforms (Networks!), should be DEFUNDED by Congress, IMMEDIATELY,” Trump wrote late Wednesday on Truth Social. “Republicans, don’t miss this opportunity to rid our Country of this giant SCAM, both being arms of the Radical Left Democrat Party. JUST SAY NO AND, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!”
Example Two:
Students at public colleges and universities are protected by the First Amendment freedoms of religion, speech, press, assembly and petition. Private schools do not have that protection.
Columbia University, officially Columbia University in the City of New York, is a private Ivy League research university in New York City.
On 8 March, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) agents arrestedMahmoud Khalil, a graduate student at Columbia University, as he was returning from dinner with his wife in New York. The agents said the state department had revoked his student visa and green card, though he had never been accused of, let alone convicted for, a crime. He was held in detention in New Jersey, then transferred to Louisiana. He has still not been accused a crime.
Nevertheless, Donald Trump’s state department, headed by Marco Rubio, seeks to deport him under a provision of federallaw that gives him the power to deport someone if their presence in the country is deemed to “have potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences for the United States”. Khalil’s crime? He was a lead organizer of Columbia’s protests for Palestinian rights.
“Who has the right to have rights? It is certainly not the humans crowded into the cells here,” Khalil, a Palestinian raised in exile in a Syrian refugee camp, wrote in a letter proclaiming his status as a “political prisoner”. He is the one of the most prominent targets of a chilling federal crackdown over pro-Palestinian advocacy in the US, particularly on college campuses. And he is one of the most forceful voices in The Encampments, a new documentary on the campus movement for Palestine that has drawn ire from across the US political spectrum, in particular the right.
Example Three:
The nation’s legal profession is being split between those that want to fight back against President Trump’s attacks on the industry and those that prefer to engage in the art of the deal.
Two big firms sued the Trump administration on Friday, seeking to stop executive orders that could impair their ability to represent clients. The lawsuits filed by Jenner & Block and WilmerHale highlight how some elite firms are willing to fight Mr. Trump’s campaign targeting those he doesn’t like, while others, like Paul Weiss and Skadden, have cut deals to appease the president.
In recent weeks, Mr. Trump has issued similarly styled executive orders against firms that he perceives as enemies and threats to national security. The orders could create an existential crisis for firms because they would strip lawyers of security clearances, bar them from entering federal buildings and discourage federal officials from interacting with the firms.
Top officials in the Trump administration discussed highly sensitive military planning using an unclassified chat application.
Pete Hegseth, the Secretary Of Defense who according to the Atlantic’s report disclosed to the group how the Yemen strike would take shape before it occurred, forcefully denied any wrongdoing and attacked Goldberg in personal terms — calling him a “deceitful” journalist who “peddles in garbage.”
“Nobody was texting war plans,” Hegseth told reporters after landing in Hawaii late Monday, “and that’s all I have about that.”
The distraction was obvious. Hegseth, according to the Atlantic’s report, responded a short time later that he understood Vance’s concerns and fully supported the vice president raising them with Trump. The defense secretary then added that the “messaging is going to be tough no matter what” because “nobody knows who the Houthis are,” and so those who will announce the operation should aim to convince the American public that “1) Biden failed & 2) Iran funded.” Those were apparent references to the Biden administration not being able to stop Houthi attacks, which the militant group began in response to Israel’s war in the Gaza Strip, and Tehran’s long-standing backing of the group.
The effort was trying to divert your attention after a major screwup. The Keystone Cops are alive and well.
