RedState Weekly Briefing: The Joke's on Them

Welcome to the RedState Weekly Briefing! We will highlight the top stories of the week for you. What captured the audience’s attention this week? Get yourself a drink and enjoy the latest updates from your go-to online publication!

#1 – It Sure Looks Like the Trump Admin Just Outfoxed the Judge Trying to Block Pro-Hamas Leader’s Deportation

The Trump administration seems to have tactfully outsmarted the judge in a recent case. Reports indicate that Khalil was transferred to an ICE detention center in Louisiana. This move is significant because the judge issued an order based on Khalil’s petition in New York for his release pending further legal proceedings. However, the law stipulates that the petition must be filed in the same jurisdiction where the individual is currently present. If Khalil is no longer in New York, which seems to be the case, then the judge lacks jurisdiction over the case.

#2 – WATCH: Alina Habba Has a Little Fun When She Discovers Biden’s Fake ‘Oval Office’

She posted on Tuesday about what she found when she was visiting the White House — Joe Biden’s old “fake Oval Office.” And she had a little fun pointing out what it looked like and why she thought they used it. 

“We’re in Biden’s fake Oval Office!” Habba declared. She said she thinks she figured it out — why they used such a fake set. She directed the camera to turn around, and she said there was a screen — a “teleprompter to the face.”

“The last administration was a disgratz (disgrace)!” she said.

#3 – Desperate Biden Begs for Relevancy, Immediately Stuffs Foot in Mouth With Clueless Women’s Day Post — by Bob Hoge

During Biden’s presidency, he signed an executive order that allowed trans athletes to compete in women’s and girls sports, attempted to rewrite Title IX to allow it and even tried to punish states for taking their own steps to combat the issue. 

Since Biden left office, Democrats in Congress and state governments have done plenty to combat Republican attempts to address the issue. 

If there’s one issue that sums up the progressive Democrats’  failure to read the room, it’s their insistence that biological men should be allowed to beat up our sisters and daughters in athletic competition.

#4 – JD Vance Might Have Just Had His 2028 Run Won for Him

I think Tim Pool actually nailed it in a conversation he had about the memes. There are going to be people who don’t get why Vance’s own supporters would make memes that make fun of Vance, and a lot of these people are going to be women. Not bashing women, but the way men and women communicate is different. 

When men like each other, they’ll actively make fun of one another. It’s how we express ourselves to one another in a way that might not seem close, and possibly even confrontational, but it’s actually an expression of appreciation and respect.

#5 – Whoops: CNN Panelist Triggered by Trump’s White House Tesla Event Walks Into Trap of Her Own Making — by Sister Toldjah

As one might imagine, that argument did not go over well at all with Jennings, who pointed out a couple of inconvenient facts, with one being that Elon Musk was creating a lot of jobs and two, that he was employing American workers.
