President Trump set the internet ablaze by donning a royal blue suit, rather than a traditional black or navy suit, at the funeral of Pope Francis in the Vatican City on Saturday.

Accompanied by the First Lady, who wore all black, with a long black veil, President Trump boldly stood out as the lone dignitary choosing to forgo the more traditional funereal black attire.

For those researchers who have traced President Trump’s movements over the past decade, many believe that President Trump frequently uses symbolism to communicate a deeper intended meaning behind certain executive decisions.

For example, when President Trump broke the internet in 2017 by tweeting, “Despite the constant negative press covfefe,” millions of X accounts furiously scrambled to try and decode the president’s intended meaning.

President Trump deleted this viral tweet six hours later, alternatively posting, and then deleting, “Who can figure out the true meaning of covfefe? Enjoy!!!”

Later that day, Press Secretary Sean Spicer brilliantly confounded the media by saying, “A select group of people know exactly what [President Trump] meant.”

In addition to the “covfefe” bonanza, hundreds more of President Trump’s quotations, social media post timestamps, and even his aesthetic and decor decisions have sparked debate amongst an inestimable number of internet accounts, as to the possible deeper meaning behind President Trump’s expressions.

To that end, after President Trump opted to wear blue at the funeral of Pope Francis on Saturday, many commentators began to speculate as to whether President Trump donned this attire as a sign of disrespect to the late Pope Francis.

If so, the consensus wagered, then President Trump must have a very deep-seated reason for his personal disdain of Pope Francis – and details of this fissure would inevitably remain outside the public purview for reasons of national security.

However, this rivalry between President Trump and Pope Francis over the span of years has been no total secret.

When President Trump visited the Vatican in 2018, President Trump infamously grinned ear-to-ear while posing for photos with the media. President Trump was then juxtaposed with Pope Francis, who appeared incredibly sullen and dour.

Pope Francis often lectured President Trump for not allowing millions of illegal immigrants into America to reshape the country. Pope Francis similarly pushed an illegal immigration agenda into Europe, where the negative ramifications are evident.

Nowadays, rival news outlets remain hyper-focused on President Trump’s attire choices, at the most superficial level.

On the contrary, as the Vatican conclave elects the new pope in the coming weeks, the Gateway Pundit will continue to provide fair coverage, targeting the core of the Vatican’s ills, and, we pray, its increased return to grace.

Two American students went head-to-head in what organizers are calling the world’s first sperm race, held at one of Los Angeles’ most famous venues.

Four young entrepreneurs from the United States raised $1.5 million to host the unusual event, which took place at the Hollywood Palladium on Friday night.

The competition involved sperm samples from two healthy university students racing against each other along an 8-inch (20-centimeter) track designed to mimic the female reproductive system.

The goal was to raise awareness about male fertility, which scientists warn is collapsing at a troubling speed.

The spectacle included livestreams, instant replays, and even live betting odds.

The winner, 20-year-old Tristan Milker from the University of Southern California, was eventually crowned champion.

“There could be this dystopian future where no one will be able to make babies,” said 17-year-old Eric Zhu, the high schooler who created the idea for the competition.

Watch the clip below:

At the event, a man wearing a lab coat used pipettes to place sperm samples — collected beforehand — onto tiny tracks only 2mm wide.

The races were magnified 100 times using a microscope and filmed with a camera that fed the footage into 3D animation software.

The resulting video was then broadcast to the audience.

“There’s no way to really tell if this is real, but I want to believe it is,” said Felix Escobar, a 20-year-old spectator.

Zhu’s concerns about falling fertility rates echo similar ideas from the growing pro-natalist movement, although he denied being part it.

“I have nothing to do with this, I’m not like an Elon Musk, who wants to repopulate the Earth,” Zhu added.

Last week, it was reported that the Trump administration had begun exploring ways to address America’s demographic crisis.

This exploration included a range of proposals designed to encourage families to have more children.

Among these proposals include reserving 30 percent of Fulbright scholarships for applicants who are married or have children, giving mothers a $5,000 payment following childbirth and fund programs to educate women on reproductive health and fertility awareness.

Another Milwaukee judge is joining the rebellion after judge Hannah Dugan was arrested by the FBI for obstructing an ICE arrest last week.

The DOJ on Friday announced Judge Dugan was charged with “obstruction of proceedings before a department or agency of the United States, which carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison, and concealing a person to prevent arrest, which carries a maximum penalty of one year in prison.”

And now a rebellion is growing among other radical judges in Wisconsin.

As TGP reported earlier, in an act of defiance, Sawyer County, Wisconsin, judge Monica Isham said she has “no intention” of allowing any illegal aliens to be taken out of her courtroom, after another Wisconsin judge was arrested for obstructing an ICE operation.

Judge Isham has been on the bench for less than two years and boasts of being the “first woman, first Native American, first minority” to serve as a circuit court judge in Sawyer County.

“Enough is enough. I have no intention of allowing anyone to be taken out of my courtroom by ICE and sent to a concentration camp, especially without due process as BOTH of the constitutions we swore to support requires. Should I start raising bail money?” Wisconsin Circuit Judge Monica Isham wrote in an email obtained by Wisconsin Right Now.

“If there is no guidance for us and no support for us, I will refuse to hold court in Branch 2 in Sawyer County,” she said.

“We have a Judicial District 10 meeting on May 9th and I respectfully ask that we be given some guidance by then so we may discuss as a group in District 10,” the judge said.

In signing off, Judge Isham proudly said she is willing to lose her job or get arrested for doing ‘the right thing.’

“If this costs me my job or gets me arrested, then at least I know I did the right thing,” the judge wrote.

Milwaukee County Judge Ana Berrios-Schroeder responded to Judge Isham to let her know she supports her.

Judge Berrios-Schroeder thanked Judge Isham for being “brave” and floated “new courthouse policies” in their quest to shield illegals from ICE agents.

Just last week, the Gateway Pundit reported that there are people working in the entertainment industry in Hollywood who are afraid that Los Angeles could ending up becoming the next Detroit.

California has made it so expensive and difficult to do business there that the film and TV industry is constantly moving production to other countries that offer tax breaks and other incentives.

Just after being elected, Trump appointed actors Jon Voight, Mel Gibson, and Sylvester Stallone as Special Ambassadors to Hollywood.

Next week, Jon Voight is set to offer some recommendations to Trump on how to keep film and TV production in the United States.

Townhall reports:

Jon Voight Will Present Trump With Plan to Fix Hollywood

Actor Jon Voight, along with his manager, Steven Paul, plan to present ideas to President Trump as early as next week in order to help increase film and TV production in the United States.

Ideas Voight plans to propose may include infrastructure incentives, tax code changes and job training, all while exceeding tax credits that states usually offer.

“It’s important that we compete with what’s going on around the world, so there needs to be some sort of federal tax incentives,” Paul said.

In January, Trump named Voight as a special ambassador to Hollywood, alongside fellow actors Mel Gibson and Sylvester Stallone.

Trump referred to Hollywood as a “great but very troubled place.”

Currently, states compete with generous tax credits in order to lure film productions. The group wants national initiatives to help the U.S. win business over other countries, Paul added.

In the clip below, actor Rob Lowe talks about how California’s current leadership has made it near to impossible to make movies and TV shows in the state:

The entertainment industry has always been a golden goose for California. Somehow, the Democrats in charge of the state have almost managed to kill it.

If there is one issue that everyone in the country agrees on, it’s that we desperately need more new housing to be built. Everyone knows we need it but many states have too much red tape and regulations in place to get the job done quickly.

In the state of Montana, Republicans are leading the way. The GOP controlled House in the state is passing massive reforms to encourage the building of new housing, easing restrictions on things like parking.

Every state legislature should look at what’s happening here. This needs to be replicated everywhere.

The Sightline Institute reported:

House Bill 492, introduced by Rep. Katie Zolnikov (R-Billings), sets a high bar for other states pursuing parking reform. Beginning in October 2026, any home smaller than 1,200 square feet in Montana’s ten largest cities will be exempt from costly local parking mandates. Because more than 80 percent of apartments and condos in the United States are already smaller than 1,200 square feet, this effectively means that multifamily buildings in those cities will no longer be required to have any particular number of off-street parking spaces.

HB 492 also exempts small detached homes, all deed-restricted affordable housing, assisted living homes, and daycares. And it strikes down excessive parking mandates in many smaller cities, giving property owners there almost as much flexibility over how many parking spaces they need.

This is a major change for many of Montana’s fastest growing cities such as Bozeman, Missoula, and Whitefish—all of which currently require one to two parking spaces for every home. It’s hard to understate the potential impact of HB 492. A recent study found that eliminating parking minimums alone can boost new home construction by 40–70 percent.

People are talking about this on Twitter/X:

Last week, Montana voted to:
– legalize 6-story apartments on most commercial land
– sharply cut parking mandates
– limit excess impact fees
– cut condo defect liability
– require equal treatment for manufactured homes
– legalize single-stair buildings up to 6 stories statewide pic.twitter.com/IyY2ftwdyd

It’s red states like Montana that are leading the way on housing reform: Cutting mandates, legalizing more homes, and standing up for working families. While blue states strangle growth, Montana is building a future of opportunity. https://t.co/G4ptC0nZxB

Republicans understand what is at stake.

Blue states send them their huddled masses who have been priced out by disastrous “community-driven” housing policy.

That displaced population gives republicans an advantage in presidential elections and congress.

This kind of reform is needed in every state. Make it easier to build more housing and the market will respond.

This story is yet another example of how people in the elite establishment just don’t get it.

Pollster Frank Luntz spoke to a panel made up of Trump supporters. He seemed to want to goad them into admitting regret for voting for Trump based on economic policy, specifically tariffs.

Instead, no one regrets anything. Most of them seem completely willing to pay more for products made in America. Everyone seems confident that the stock market will eventually self-correct.

Luntz is positively stunned. The panel clearly didn’t go the way he was expecting.

BizPacReview has details:

“I need to ask you an issue that no one’s brought up and has crashed your 401(k)s, most of you, the tariffs,” Luntz said. “The stock market is way down.”

“It needed a correction,” said Sarina from New York.

“Oh, so you support it?” a visibly surprised Luntz asked, prompting several members of the call to answer affirmatively.

“And I have to tell you, my 401(k) wasn’t impacted at all,” Sarina added.

“First of all, how many of you did not lose any money over the crash of the stock market?” Luntz asked, as three hands appeared on screen.

David from Ohio broke in at that point to say that he had “lost more money under the Biden administration than under the Trump administration.”

“No one’s upset over this?” Luntz asked.

“No,” replied multiple participants.

“There’s not a single four-year period in the history of the stock market where the stock market hasn’t appreciated at an average rate of about seven percent,” noted John from Colorado. “So yeah, there’s ups and downs and corrections and people are foolish and they jump out, you know, buy high sell low, but if people just get in and stay the course, they’ll be just fine.”

Watch the video below:

YOU’VE GOTTA HEAR THIS: Frank Luntz gets a panel of Trump voters and is shocked when he finds out they aren’t jumping ship because of a market correction/dip in response to tariffs.

There’s too much reason and logic in this frame for any single Democrat to handle!

There’s this ridiculous myth on the left that Trump voters have regrets. In reality, almost every Trump voter you speak to is likely to say, ‘I voted for this.’
