Our 28th Year
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.
It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.
The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated;
but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end
for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." —C. S. Lewis (1898–1963)

“Immigrants soon find their place in urban life, they soon adopt, externally, town manners and opinions, but for a long time they remain foreign to civic thought. One cannot make a social philosophy one’s own as easily as a new costume. . . More menacing than barbarians storming the walls from without are the seeming citizens within – those who are citizens in gesture, but not in thought.”

If You Thought 9/11 Was Bad,
Consider an Islamic Bomb Detonation in the U.S.

Mark Alexander
Iran’s nuclear ambitions greatly accelerated over the Obama/Biden years, most notably a decade ago after Obama’s so-called “nuke deal” with Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. That fiasco paved the way for the development of the “Islamic Bomb.” Recall that just before Trump took office, Obama’s final appeasement of the Iranian regime was to deliver $400 million in palletized cash to Khamenei, and another $1.3 billion shortly thereafter. This, despite toothless tough talk by Joe Biden in a concurrent address on the dangers of a nuclear Iran.

Exposing the Great Green Grift
I & I Editorial Board
As much as $16 trillion has been spent worldwide to defeat global warming. It could have been twice that and it would never be enough because the climate hustlers need to keep the dollars rolling in to line their own pockets. Now we finally have an Environmental Protection Agency chief who’s exposing the racket. Testifying last week before a Senate committee, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin told lawmakers that the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, a $27 billion stash that was created through the Biden administration’s Inflation Reduction Act, is a con.

Never Trust the Iranian Regime – And NO to a 'Moratorium'
Majid Rafizadeh
Any agreement that would allow Iran a multi-year "moratorium" towards enriching uranium again would erase everything that President Donald J. Trump has so brilliantly and historically accomplished. Any "moratorium" is essentially no different from the catastrophic "sunset clauses" in President Barack H. Obama's 2015 JCPOA "nuclear deal" – a short delay that will correctly be taken as a green light inviting Iran to resume enriching uranium for nuclear weapons.
Netanyahu: Iran War 'Not Over,' Nuclear Sites Need Dismantled
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that Israel's military campaign against Iran is continuing and warned additional action may still be necessary. Netanyahu said Iran continues to maintain nuclear-enrichment capabilities, ballistic missile programs, and regional proxy networks despite recent strikes by Israel and the United States. He said more work remains to dismantle those operations.
IDF Destroys Ready-To-Use Hezbollah Rocket Launchers
Acting to thwart the Hezbollah terror group's abilities to fire towards Israel and IDF troops, the IDF on Wednesday carried out a wave of significant strikes in southern Lebanon. Among the targets hit were Hezbollah headquarters, launch sites, and structures used for military purposes. Hezbollah terrorists operated from the structures that were struck in order to advance terror attacks against IDF soldiers and the State of Israel.
Hegseth Says Pentagon Will Review Mark Kelly's
Public Statements About Classified Briefing Amid Ongoing Feud

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on Sunday suggested Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., may have violated his oath with comments he made to a news outlet following a classified briefing. Kelly told Margaret Brennan on Face the Nation that it is "shocking how deep we have gone into these magazines" when asked if the Pentagon has updated lawmakers on the Iran war's impact on U.S. weapons stockpiles. In response, Hegseth questioned whether Kelly, a former Navy pilot, may have violated his oath and said the Pentagon's legal counsel will review his comments.
What Do You Think Happened
After This English Teen Converted to Islam?

Robert Spencer
The United Kingdom, and the West in general, is deep in the throes of a severe spiritual malady. Large numbers of people in these historically Christian nations have cast off their ancestral faith, but haven’t managed to find anything that even comes close to filling the spiritual void they have opened up in their lives by doing so. Meanwhile, they’re constantly told that while their own history and heritage is full of slavery, oppression, and racism, the Muslim migrants who are arriving in Britain (and all over the West) in large numbers are bringing with them a noble, unsullied faith, the overall wonderfulness would be obvious to everyone if not for a wholly unwarranted, race-based “Islamophobia.” And so the Oxford Mail recently ran an article about a young English lad from Oxfordshire who “converted to Islam as a teenager.”
Not a single law enforcement agency anywhere in the world is studying why so many converts to Islam end up in terror groups.
April Job Growth Doubles Forecasts as
Unemployment Rate Holds at 4.3 Percent

The number of jobs added in April doubled analysts’ predictions, while the unemployment rate held steady, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported Friday. Total nonfarm payroll employment added 115,000 jobs in April, defying economists’ expectation of 62,000 growth, while the private sector added 123,000 jobs, well above the 75,000 increase analysts had predicted, the BLS report shows. Meanwhile, March’s job increase was revised up by 7,000 to +185,000.
Greg Gutfeld FED UP Over No Consequences for
Ilhan Omar: ‘Who’s Protecting Her?!’

Tom Tillison
Taking on the DC swamp is daunting task, given the complexity of the problem, but most can agree that there is low-hanging fruit that can be snatched from the branches. Take U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), for example. Mired in a number of fraud allegations, the one resounding question from Americans outside the Democratic Party is why in the hell has she not faced any accountability? “Who’s protecting her? Why are they protecting her? She married her sibling. She’s an alleged fraudster. She’s implicated in a ton of cases,” Gutfeld said this week on “The Five.”
Nancy Mace Names 6 House Lawmakers
Allegedly Involved in Sex Scandal Cover Up

Republican South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace named several lawmakers Monday who she claims used a congressional “slush fund” to cover up alleged sex scandals. Mace said she uncovered 1,000 pages of documents detailing how certain lawmakers allegedly evaded consequences for sexual scandals, according to a Monday post on X. Mace originally subpoenaed the House Oversight Committee in March in light of a string of sexual scandals that resulted in two resignations from Congress. Notably, Mace said that these documents are only from the last 22 years, claiming that all reports prior to 2004 were “destroyed.” Mace later named six lawmakers she alleges covered up their sex scandals with the “slush fund.”
“Accountability is not a threat,” Mace said. “It is a promise.”
Wake Up, America! Projectionist Leftists Have Unleashed the Furies
Jack DeVine
What happened last week – and keeps on happening – is horrifying. But the true absurdity is that we continue to fall into the trap of interpreting the escalating mayhem as some kind of troubling, generic trend toward violence. We’re told it’s a malady that is infecting society at large, obviously a “both sides” problem, one that will disappear if we just try harder to all get along. NO! That’s dead wrong. The linkage between the cause and effect of last week’s attempt on the president’s life could not be clearer. There’s no mystery here. The would-be assassin told us, in his written manifesto, exactly what he intended to do and why. In short, he was acting, quite logically, in response to the poisonous rhetoric that has flooded the zone of political commentary and that he evidently believed to be true.
Trump Links Hakeem Jeffries to WHCD Shooting,
Wants Him Charged

On Thursday, President Donald Trump connected the violent rhetoric from House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries to political violence, including the recent assassination attempt against him at last month’s White House Correspondents Dinner. The New York Democrat and House Minority leader defended his use of inflammatory rhetoric including employing “maximum warfare” against Republicans and the president. “I stand by it,” he told Axios, while mocking the “so-called criticism from these phony Republicans.”... “Hakeem Jeffries is a disgrace to the United States Congress,” Republican Rep. Randy Fine of Florida posted on X. “He is deranged, disgusting and violent. It is unacceptable that House Democrats continue to remain silent in the aftermath of his call for ‘maximum warfare, everywhere, all the time’ against Republicans. Their casual acceptance of hateful and divisive language enables this out-of-control behavior.”
‘Political Earthquake!’
Virginia Supreme Court Delivers Dems a Devastating Blow

Nicole Haas
This might be one of the biggest backfires in history. In a dramatic turn of events, Republicans now hold the edge to hold the House in the upcoming midterm elections after the Virginia Supreme Court struck down its proposed redistricted map. Virginia sparked nationwide fury when Gov. Abigail Spanberger and her Democrat colleagues attempted to gerrymander its districts to push out Republicans.
DOJ Launches Investigation of Va. Atty. Descano’s
Preferential Treatment of Criminal Illegals

Infamous for his soft-on-illegal-immigrant-crime policies, Virginia Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano is now under federal investigation for suspected discriminatory treatment of cases, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced Wednesday. “The Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division will investigate whether the Office of the Fairfax Commonwealth’s Attorney discriminated against United States citizens by offering preferential treatment only to illegal alien criminal defendants.”
Utah Justice Diana Hagen Resigns
Amid Redistricting Scandal Investigation

Utah Supreme Court Justice Diana Hagen announced her resignation Friday amid a probe of potential unethical relations with an attorney who argued cases, including a redistricting case, before the state’s high court on which she served. “The resignation follows a KSL report about a complaint against Hagen, submitted to the state’s Judicial Conduct Commission, alleging she had an improper relationship with an attorney who argued cases before the court. The attorney represented several plaintiffs in the high-profile case over Utah’s redistricting maps, which led to a new congressional map being adopted last November.
Justice Jackson Just Showed Why Democrats
Are Desperate to Pack the Supreme Court

Jonathan Turley
Since her appointment by President Joe Biden, Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has quickly developed a radical and chilling jurisprudence. Her frequent sole dissents and accusatory rhetoric have drawn not just the ire of her conservative colleagues but also that of her liberal colleagues. This week, that tension deepened with a stinging rebuke from Justice Samuel Alito, joined by Justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch. At issue is the finalization of the court’s opinion in Louisiana v. Callais, where the court ruled 6-3 to bar racial gerrymandering. The court reaffirmed the use of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act to ban intentional racial discrimination in the design of voting districts but effectively found many districts to be unconstitutional in their current form.
Ketanji Brown Jackson's Solo Dissents
Draw Fire from Liberal Allies and Foes Alike

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson stood out from her colleagues this week when she broke with them to rail against the high court's decision to fast-track its landmark order dismantling a key provision in the Voting Rights Act. But Jackson's solo dissent was far from the first time the Biden-appointed justice has been on an island, as she has routinely blasted the court for not asserting more judicial authority over President Donald Trump's executive actions and drawn rebukes from her colleagues for taking what they have viewed as flawed positions.
Jackson goes on solo diatribes, highlighting a deeper internal divide within the liberal bloc.
Biden Judge Throws Tantrum Over Conservative Media Coverage
Daniel Greenfield
Do judges have the power to control what journalists or the Justice Department says about them? Judge Melissa DuBose, a Biden selectee, is throwing a tantrum over a Homeland Security press release noting correctly that she decided to free a murderer and a violent criminal [Bryan Rafael Gomez]... Further validating the Homeland Security press release that DuBose is demanding be taken down, the leftist pro-crime judge still hasn’t ordered that Gomez be taken back into custody.
'Clueless' Socialist Mayor in Hot Seat After
Video of 77-Year-Old Beaten in Downtown Seattle Goes Viral

Seattle’s socialist mayor Katie Wilson is facing fierce blowback on social media after a 77-year-old man was seen on video being beaten by two individuals in a crime that was captured by closed-circuit television cameras, a tool that Wilson has denounced in the past as something that makes the community feel unsafe and "vulnerable." The elderly man was walking down the street in downtown Seattle last month when two men walking by him stopped, without any provocation, shoved him to the ground and beat him, KOMO News reported.
Haitian Illegal Immigrant Who Fatally Beat Florida Store Clerk with Hammer Will Face the Death Penalty
State Attorney Amira Fox announced Thursday that a Lee County grand jury returned an indictment against Rolbert Joachin, 40, in connection with the April 2 killing of Nilufa Easmin, a 51-year-old immigrant from Bangladesh, at a gas station in Fort Myers, Florida. According to prosecutors, Joachin is accused of attacking the victim outside a gas station, striking her repeatedly in the head with a hammer and killing her. Surveillance video captured the assault, which showed the victim being repeatedly struck in the head with a hammer after confronting the suspect for smashing her car window. Authorities described the video as "extremely brutal and incredibly violent."
Hammer attack suspect is illegal alien released under Biden policies
About That Science We’re Supposed to Believe In …
I & I Editorial Board
Earlier this week, we editorialized about the Great Green Grift of the climate hustlers who line their own pockets as well as those of their co-conspirators. Today we dig into the science, which has been repeatedly abused, often abandoned and artfully prostituted to support the global warming racket. The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has long been treated as always having the first and last word on global warming. Google’s artificial intelligence says it’s “widely regarded as the world’s leading authority on climate science, providing essential, peer-reviewed assessments that inform international policy.” But it’s not infallible.
Nation’s Largest Grid Operator, PJM, Warns
Drastic Measures Required As Data Centers Come Online

Benjamin Roberts
“Unprecedented surge in demand driven by the rapid expansion of large-load data centers and broader economy-wide electrification,” is noted by PJM as one of the the three drivers of grid strain, alongside “the accelerated retirement of dispatchable generation due to environmental policy and economics; and significant supply chain and permitting frictions that have extended the time required to bring new resources online.” “The result is a transition from an era of managing surplus to an era of managing scarcity,” the memo continues, highlighting long lead times on new energy developments. “Construction timelines have doubled,” the report continues.
Elon Musk Didn’t Just Leave Delaware – He Started a Stampede
Stephen Green
Tiny Delaware is a corporate behemoth, but the trickle that began with Elon Musk – as so many things do – is now a flood worth more than three trillion dollars in corporate value. "Since 2024, over 61 companies have left or filed to leave Delaware," Leave Delaware reported on Thursday, including "Tesla, SpaceX, Coinbase, Roblox, Dropbox, Simon Property Group, Dillard's, and Fidelity National Financial." An additional seven "pending shareholder votes are scheduled in the next two months" to reincorporate elsewhere.

Another One: Dell Technologies Latest to Redomesticate to Texas.
On Monday, it announced its Board of Directors unanimously approved changing the jurisdiction of Dell Technologies’ state of incorporation from Delaware to its home state of Texas. The Board of Directors recommended that its stockholders approve its redomestication at its annual stockholder meeting on June 25. “The proposed redomestication would align Dell Technologies’ state of incorporation with its roots and long-standing center of operations,” Dell Technologies said in a statement. Michael Dell founded the company in Austin, Texas, in 1984.
"It's a helluva lot easier to move a corporate P.O. box than it is to relocate a billion-dollar HQ," said Elon Musk. Delaware forgot that. The exodus has begun.
Catfish Farmers, Undertakers, Miners Helped Bring About
Major EPA Deregulation

Benjamin Roberts
Catfish farmers, funeral home operators and miners – among a host of other industry groups – convinced the Environmental Protection Agency to kill its forty-year-old chemical regulation system. EPA Deputy Administrator David Fotouhi issued a memo on April 27 ending the 1985 Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) method of classifying hazardous chemicals. Numerous stakeholders have criticized IRIS for dramatically overestimating the toxicity for certain industry-specific compounds to many business’ detriment. IRIS was implemented via administrative action and has never been approved by Congress.
Tsunami of Sewage from Mexico Barrels Toward U.S. Coastline,
Officials Warn

Some of Southern California’s best-known beaches are facing repeated closures as sewage continues to contaminate coastal waters. The issue is largely linked to the Tijuana River, which carries untreated wastewater from Mexico into U.S. waters. Ocean currents then push the contamination north along the coastline.
Leftists Pounce as Texas Gov. Greg Abbott Signs '1836 Project' Law
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has signed House Bill 2497 into law. That bill, sponsored by state Rep. Tan Parker, codifies educating Texas school kids on what makes Texas Texas. In a video of the signing, Gov. Abbott said “We must never forget why Texas became so exceptional in the first place.” 1836 refers to the year Texas joined widespread rebellions across Mexico against dictator Santa Anna and won its independence. The law would promote the history of Texas from pre-history through the Spanish colonial period, through its years as a state within Mexico, to its revolution and beyond. The Tejano, black, and indigenous contributions to the state’s rich history will be highlighted.
Civil Rights Groups Attempt to Stop a
Texas Law That Allows Police to Arrest Illegal Aliens

Vivek Saxena
Several so-called civil rights organizations filed a lawsuit on Monday in an attempt to stop a Texas law that allows police to arrest illegal aliens. Senate Bill 4, as it’s known, specifically “created a state-level crime for entering the country without authorization and created pathways for state authorities to remove such people from the country if convicted,” according to The Texas Tribune. It basically makes it so local cops can act with the same level of authority as immigration officials. The law will finally go into effect next week, thanks to a federal appeals court last month lifting a lower court ruling that had kept the law paused in limbo since 2024.
DOJ Moves to Block
Nebraska Tuition Benefits for Illegal Immigrants

The U.S. Department of Justice has moved to block Nebraska from offering in-state tuition and scholarship benefits to illegal immigrants, arguing the policy violates federal law and discriminates against American citizens. The Department of Justice announced that it filed a legal challenge to Nebraska’s tuition policy in a press release outlining its intent to enforce existing federal immigration law. The action seeks to stop the state from continuing to provide reduced tuition rates and financial aid to illegal immigrants attending public colleges and universities.
Female Inmate Punished for Refusing to
Share Room with Convicted Child Porn Felon

The conservative America First Legal asked the Bureau of Prisons on Monday in a public records request, obtained by Fox News Digital, for information about the re-incarceration of Sarah Cavanaugh, who had been serving out the remainder of her sentence at Houston House, a halfway house in Rhode Island operated by the nonprofit Community Resources for Justice. The request raised concerns about whether Bureau of Prisons contractors were complying with President Donald Trump’s day-one directive that agencies make sure biological men are not detained in women's prisons, part of the administration's broader effort to tighten policies surrounding transgender people.
Another One. Female Inmate Sues Washington State
After Alleged Attack by Male-Born Prisoner in Women's Facility

A female inmate in Washington state is suing corrections officials after she says she was brutally attacked by a male-born prisoner housed in a women’s prison under the state’s gender-identity housing policy. Faith Booher-Smith, who is incarcerated at the Washington Corrections Center for Women, alleges in a federal lawsuit she was "violently attacked" by inmate Christopher Williams, a convicted sex offender who had been transferred to the prison after identifying as female.
White House Says 'Gavin Newscum Is a
Truly Sick Individual' As Trans Crisis Reignites

A White House spokesperson called out Newsom in a statement to Fox News Digital as his state continues to allow biological male trans athletes to compete in girls' high school sports. "Gavin Newscum is a truly sick individual who has no regard for fairness, dignity, and respect. If he did, he wouldn’t allow men to compete in women’s sports, limiting women’s opportunities and jeopardizing their health and safety. President Trump fights for commonsense policies that uplift every athlete and restore fairness on the field," White House spokeswoman Allison Schuster said.
Karoline Leavitt Announces Birth of Second Child, a Girl
Karoline Leavitt with ViviLeavitt announced the joyous news in a post on X, sharing details about her growing family. "On May 1st, Viviana aka "Vivi" joined our family, and our hearts instantly exploded with love," Leavitt wrote. "She is perfect and healthy, and her big brother is joyfully adjusting to life with his new baby sister." "We are enjoying every moment in our blissful newborn bubble," she continued. "Thank you to everyone who reached out with prayers during my pregnancy – I truly felt them throughout the entire experience. God is Good."
Britain’s Universities Are Sewers of Anti-Semitism
Joanna Williams
Finally, anti-Semitism on campus is beginning to get the attention it deserves. For too long, the vile abuse experienced by Jewish students at some of the UK’s leading universities has been ignored or, worse, condoned as just criticism of Israel. But following last week’s horrific attack on two men in Golders Green, and – before that – the killing of two people at a Manchester synagogue, the prime minister has had to do more than offer thoughts and prayers to the Jewish community. This week, Starmer announced that ‘every part of society’ has a responsibility to tackle anti-Semitism, including universities where it has been allowed to fester unchecked.

Contempt of Court: Hakeem Jeffries
Denounces the Supreme Court as “Illegitimate”

Jonathan Turley
The Supreme Court’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais took 36 pages to explain why Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act is about combating intentional racial discrimination, not allowing racial gerrymandering. However, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries wrapped it up in one word: “illegitimate.” Jeffries was not speaking of the case, but the Court. The man who would become the next Speaker of the House if Democrats retake power in November has joined other radicals in denying the legitimacy of the nation’s highest court. Now you have the next possible Speaker of the United States declaring the Supreme Court illegitimate because he disagrees with its interpretation of the law... It is not the voting record nor the underlying interpretations that are motivating this campaign of delegitimation. It is power.

Blind Spot: Media Amplified White Supremacy Narrative
As SPLC Funded Charlottesville Organizer

In the wake of the Charlottesville rally in August 2017, the media relied on Southern Poverty Law Center experts to explain an apparent rise in white supremacy in America after Donald Trump’s election. But, while SPLC’s experts helped the media understand America’s racism problem after the rally, it was allegedly funding an organizer of the event, a member of a racist group prone to extremism. At the same time it was double-dipping, the Charlottesville rally launched SPLC’s credibility to new heights and boosted its fundraising hauls.
SCOTUS Tolls the Bell on Racial Gerrymandering
Clarice Feldman
This week, the Supreme Court, in an opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito, ended decades of race-engineering in how congressional districts are drawn. The opinion is likely not only to benefit Republicans by increasing their representation in Congress, but it also should end racial engineering in a multitude of local institutions, to the benefit of all. It signals the beginning of the end for progressive governance, begun by President Woodrow Wilson, whose vision conflicts with the Constitution.
Johnson: Now Would Be a Good Time for States with
'Unconstitutional Maps' to Redraw; Update: TN Next?

Ed Morrissey
Louisiana has no choice but to redraw its map after yesterday's Supreme Court ruling. House Speaker Mike Johnson suggests that all states with similarly "unconstitutional" districts based on racial gerrymanders follow suit – even if it means postponing their midterm elections. The Washington Post reports this morning that Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry will take that very step. He will act before the start of early primary voting tomorrow to suspend the election and call the legislature into session for redistricting to replace the map rejected by SCOTUS yesterday. That may push off the general election to December.
“Diversity” Is Our Weakness
John Hinderaker
The shibboleth that “diversity is our strength” is one of the worst canards of our time. There is a great deal of empirical data indicating that in general, cultural diversity is a weakness, not a strength. Culturally diverse societies (which can mean ethnically diverse, but doesn’t have to) are generally lower-trust societies, which inhibits economic growth. Western Europe is living proof of that proposition.
Pro-China Billionaire Funded NYC's May Day Events
Where Zohran Mamdani Pushed Taxing the Rich

Amy Furr
Two leftist groups that have directly or indirectly received funding from a pro-Chinese Communist Party tech-billionaire reportedly helped organize protesters in New York City’s Union Square for communist and socialist May Day events on Friday. The groups called The People’s Forum (TPF) and the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) have in some form received money from Neville Roy Singham, according to Fox News. Breitbart News Foundation (BNF) reported that Singham’s wife is left-wing Code Pink co-founder Jodie Evans. Chinese government records reviewed by the BNF also showed “Singham’s deep, extensive ties with the Chinese regime.”

Erika Kirk slammed attendees at the White House correspondents’ dinner who inspired the shooter’s hate but had intended to enjoy a luxury dinner with Donald Trump undisturbed, calling it the “ultimate hypocrisy” to “manufacture the hate and then profit off the results.” The crazies were “willing to have dinner with ‘Hitler’” if it meant free champagne. “We may have big problems with illegal immigration in this country,” Erika said. “I have to tell you, we have an even bigger problem when it comes to the systemic indoctrination and radicalization of our own citizens. This is what got my husband killed.” It’s what inspired Cole Allen.

The Moral Decline of Ro Khanna
David Strom
Ro Khanna is a smart guy. And, I used to think, a decent man with bad ideas. Now I see that he is just a smart guy with a lust for power and a willingness to sacrifice the well-being of his fellow citizens, create unnecessary divisions in society, and lie to everybody's faces just to have a long-shot chance to become President of the United States... Khanna has demonstrated a willingness to lie outrageously in pursuit of power and is jumping on the radical bandwagon, hoping to benefit from the anger that he and other Democrats keep stoking.
There Are No 'Moderates': Regime Change in Iran
Must Again Be a Priority for the Trump Administration

Con Coughlin
As the Trump administration's attempts to agree to a lasting ceasefire with Iran drag on, it is vital that the White House not lose sight of a key objective – one originally highlighted but then abandoned in the Iran conflict – namely that the war result in the overthrow of Iran's brutal dictatorship. What would be unpardonable is if U.S. President Donald J. Trump simply replaced a brutal Islamic dictatorship with an equally brutal non-Islamic dictatorship – as seen in other adversaries of the West such as Russia, China, and North Korea.
Does Islam Work?
Robert Spencer
Is Islam good for you? Is it actually beneficial for individuals and societies? These questions have seldom, if ever, been asked. Most people in America today, having been the unwitting victims of a quarter-century of propaganda, assume that Islam, like all other religions, is peaceful and benign... Yet the constant drumbeat continues: there are jihad attacks around the world virtually every day, and increasingly in the United States. All of their perpetrators insist they acted in accord with Islamic teachings. There is a distressingly large number of converts to Islam who have become terrorists, while it would be exceedingly difficult to find a convert to Christianity or any religion other Islam who became a terrorist acting, by his own account, in accord with his new religion’s teachings.
Iran-Linked Group Claims Responsibility as
'Terrorist Incident' Is Declared in London

Two Jewish people were stabbed in London on Wednesday in what police have labeled a “terrorist incident.” Metropolitan Police Commissioner Mark Rowley called the stabbing an “attack on British Jews,” according to NBC News. A report from the BBC said a group linked to Iran called Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya – which means “The Islamic Movement of the People of the Right Hand” – has claimed responsibility for the targeted attack. The group has said it took part in six other attacks against Jewish-affiliated targets in Britain.
Spirit has the JetBlues
Former Top Biden Official: Garland DOJ Stopping
JetBlue-Spirit Merger Might Have Been Mistake

Neera Tanden, the CEO of the Center for American Progress, served as U.S. Domestic Policy Council from 2023 to 2025 and senior advisor and staff secretary to former President Biden from 2021 to 2023. "Given the news today that Spirit Airlines is shuttering and thousands of people are losing their jobs, I think we should honestly assess whether the Garland DoJ stopping the JetBlue merger with Spirit Airlines was the right call.

Buttigieg Brags of Helping Kill Spirit Airlines, JetBlue Merger
“Our department has generally not gotten involved in these merger cases, but that’s changing today,” Buttigieg said at the time. “It is so important to make sure that passengers have choices, that they have access to low fares, that they have access to competition. And, yet we’ve seen less and less and less of that competition over the years. We are taking a step, that again, is unusual in terms of recent years, but we think is the right thing to do.”

Warren Blames Spirit Airlines Closure on Iran War
After Advocating Against JetBlue-Spirit Merger

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., is receiving backlash from GOP lawmakers for pushing former President Biden's Justice Department to block the merger of JetBlue and Spirit Airlines. “The 14,000 employees at Spirit who’ve lost their job loss, the travelers who will now pay higher fares, and the shareholders and debt holders who have been wiped out can thank Elizabeth Warren,” Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) wrote on X on Saturday. “Electing left politicians, who have ZERO business experience, has consequences.”
NY Set to Pass Most Extreme Sanctuary Policies As
Hochul, Albany Dems Near anti-ICE Deal

New York is set to pass its most extreme sanctuary policies yet – as Gov. Kathy Hochul and Albany Democrats hone in on a deal that could impose sweeping bans on cooperation between local law enforcement and ICE. Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie (D-Bronx) confirmed “95%” of an anti-ICE immigration package has been agreed upon between Hochul and state legislators as part of ongoing state budget talks – including etching New York’s first statewide sanctuary law restricting how law enforcement can interact with immigration authorities.
DOJ Sues New Jersey Over Laws Giving Illegal Aliens
In-State Tuition, Says Citizens Treated As 'Second-Class'

The Department of Justice filed a lawsuit Thursday against New Jersey, challenging state laws that allow illegal aliens to receive in-state tuition and financial aid, arguing the policies discriminate against U.S. citizens. The lawsuit, filed in federal court, targets the state, several higher education agencies and officials, and is seeking to block enforcement of laws that provide reduced tuition rates and financial assistance to students regardless of their immigration status. DOJ officials argue the policies violate federal law by offering benefits to illegal immigrants that are not equally available to all U.S. citizens.
Power Grab: Dem Socialist LA City Council Members
Push Plan to Let 'Non-Citizens' Vote
Jennifer Oliver O'Connell
The Democrat Socialists of America (DSA) faction of the Los Angeles City Council is offering up another middle finger to the citizenry of Los Angeles, led by Councilman Hugo Soto-Martinez (CD-13), who is proposing a plan to let illegal aliens vote in city elections. City Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martínez, who represents an Echo Park-to-Hollywood district, released a proposal Wednesday to ask voters in the Nov. 3 election to give the council the power to let noncitizens vote in city elections, including those for mayor and City Council, as well as for Los Angeles Board of Education seats.

Former Blacksburg Town Councilman Liam Watson was sentenced April 27, 2026 on fraud charges of which he had been convicted, according to the Montgomery County Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office.

North Carolina Finds 34K Dead People on Voter Rolls
After Federal Database Check

The North Carolina State Board of Elections identified approximately 34,000 dead people on the state's voter rolls following a comprehensive data comparison with a federal database. "While we expected to find some cases, this is higher than we anticipated," Sam Hayes, the executive director of the State Board of Elections, said in a press release. "The benefit of entering into cross-state and federal database checks is that it allows us to uncover issues like this. Our goal is to use every available and legal tool at our disposal to achieve the most accurate voter rolls possible," he continued.
Oregon Forced to Clean Almost 20% – 882,000 – of its Voters
Off the Rolls Because They Are Ineligible

Do you ever wonder why so many Blue states refuse to hand over their voter rolls to the federal government? After all, there is a federal law that requires certain measures to ensure ballot integrity, passed in the wake of the 2000 Florida debacle. It requires, among other things, that states clean their voter rolls of ineligible voters. But these states refuse to do that, and they refuse to show that they aren't breaking federal law.
That's about one out of four voters on the rolls
IRS Weaponized Johnson Amendment to Target
Conservative Pastors While Ignoring Liberals, DOJ Finds

A new report released Thursday by the Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias reveals what investigators describe as a "stark contrast" and a systemic double standard in how the Biden Internal Revenue Service policed American churches. “The Biden IRS … [opened] multiple investigations into Christian churches focused on the content of their sermons. The IRS asked these churches for detailed information about their operations, not just about the alleged violations,” the task force wrote. “But during the same time, when other houses of worship gave sermons that reflected different scriptural interpretations on culture war issues, or prayed for Democrat candidates, the Biden IRS appeared to take no action,” the group added.
“No American should live in fear that the federal government will punish them for their faith,” said AG Todd Blanche.
Did Biden SBA Hide
Planned Parenthood Loans Behind Benghazi?

Biden administration officials may have sought to dodge public records laws and congressional oversight by classifying taxpayer-backed loans to Planned Parenthood as “Benghazi,” according to findings by Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa. “What does Benghazi have to do with Planned Parenthood? It appears the Biden SBA used it as a codename to hide the $90 million in taxpayer funds they gifted to the abortion provider,” Ernst told The Daily Signal in a statement.

Supreme Court 9–0 Opinion Gives Pro-Life Pregnancy Center a
Win in Battle Against Blue State

The Supreme Court handed the First Choice pro-life pregnancy center a huge victory Wednesday, ruling that it can challenge a New Jersey investigation seeking its private donor information. In a 9-0 opinion written by Justice Neil Gorsuch, the high court held that the state attorney general’s 2022 subpoena, sent after the creation of a “Reproductive Rights Strike Force,” was chilling to First Amendment freedoms. “The First Amendment guarantees all Americans the rights to speak, worship, publish, assemble, and petition their government freely,” the Trump appointee wrote. “Each of these rights necessarily carries with it ‘a corresponding right to associate with others.’
‘Major Scandal:’ Feds and Sen. Johnson Allege
Government Coverups of COVID Origins, Vaccine Deaths

David Morens, senior advisor to former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci for 16 years, spent much of his career studying the threat of viral outbreaks posed by birds, especially when infections jump from wild fowl to poultry. Now he's facing the possibility of prison. The chickens have come home to roost for Morens, two years after congressional subpoenas exposed his avowed practice of circumventing the Freedom of Information Act to hide conversations about the origin of COVID-19 and suggesting he did so in cooperation with Fauci, whom Morens called "too smart" to get caught.

Can No Longer Be Denied – or the Damage They Caused

Miranda Devine
As Dr. Anthony Fauci’s right-hand man, David Morens, was charged this week with conspiracy and destruction of federal records in the COVID-19 cover-up, another scandal over the vaccine was unfolding on Capitol Hill. Within three months of the vaccines being rolled out, in March 2021, red flags were fluttering out of the weekly data dumps from doctors and patients reporting health problems after the shots, according to internal emails and meeting notes provided by the Department of Health and Human Services to Sen. Ron Johnson’s Homeland Security Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations.
Follow the Science, Except When the IPCC’s Own Climate Data Doesn’t Cooperate
Frank Lasee
The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and its media allies constantly lecture us about “following the science.” Yet when real-world data fails to match their climate crisis narrative, they quietly change their metrics, tweak data, and pretend nothing happened. They insist the world is overheating with catastrophic consequences unless we rapidly and expensively abandon oil, natural gas, and coal, which currently provide 87% of the world’s energy. Never mind that intermittent wind and solar cannot be built, shipped, or installed without fossil fuels, or that China emits more CO2 than all other industrial nations combined, and is building hundreds of new coal power plants while we dismantle ours. A powerful example emerged at the recent Heartland Climate Conference in Washington, D.C., where Nobel Prize-winning physicist John Clauser dismantled the IPCC’s latest claims of a climate emergency: Earth’s Energy Imbalance (EEI).
Tenn. House Passes Bill Extending ‘Stand Your Ground’
Protections to Homeowners’ Property

Tennessee lawmakers recently passed HB 1802, a significant piece of legislation that could fundamentally alter the state’s self-defense statutes by expanding the permissible use of force to include the protection of property. Moving beyond the traditional “life for a life” standard, the bill – which passed the House on April 23rd – would allow individuals to use force, and in specific extreme circumstances, deadly force, to prevent crimes such as theft, arson, trespassing, or the harming of livestock and pets. According to the bill’s provisions, such force is considered “justified” only when no other reasonable means of protection are available.
'Sanctuary Politicians' Release Illegal Alien Suspected of
Killing Newlywed Couple – Then ICE Steps In

Michael Schwarz
In a very real moral sense, Democrats qualify as accessories to the crimes illegal aliens commit. On Tuesday, the Department of Homeland Security announced in a news release that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents had arrested Rajinder Kumar, an illegal alien charged with manslaughter in the 2025 deaths of newlywed couple William Micah Carter and Jennifer Lynn Lower. According to DHS, “sanctuary politicians” in Oregon had released Kumar back into the community. On Nov. 24, 2025, Kumar wrecked his semi-truck on U.S. Highway 20 in Deschutes County, Oregon. A Subaru Outback carrying Carter and Lower, driver and passenger respectively, crashed into the semi-truck.

Illegal Migrant Butchers 2 Women in Savage LI Murders,
Then Calls Cops to Say He ‘killed somebody’
An illegal migrant on Long Island fatally butchered a beloved mom of two and another woman in separate savage attacks – before calling cops and calmly confessing he “killed somebody,’’ police said. Rony Yahir Alvarenga Rivera, 22, of El Salvador – who entered the US as an unaccompanied 12-year-old in 2016 – knifed a 42-year-old coworker to death at an Island Park Wendy’s around 12:30 a.m. Friday, authorities said.

Donald and Melania Trump:
The Tush Tap Heard Round the World

In lighter news, the internet was abuzz during the recent White House visit from King Charles III and Queen Camilla of the United Kingdom. Why? Cameras caught the U.S. president getting a little handsy with his wife, Melania. Of course, it’s not standard protocol for any president to pat his wife’s behind in the middle of an official state visit, in full view of the media and the world, but remember: This is President Donald Trump. He breaks rules like this, and people often love him or hate him for it, and he seems to relish every minute of it.
Reportedly: When asked how he sleeps at night in an accusatory tone. Trump supposedly replied, "Naked. With a world-class model."

Citing a 2023 analysis from the Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA), Ag Sec Brooke Rollins noted that the data identified high-end brands – including Bentley, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Porsche, Tesla, BMW, Lexus, and Cadillac – associated with thousands of Americans registered for taxpayer-funded food assistance. Many of these vehicles were late-model releases with staggering price tags, such as Lamborghinis valued at over $680,000 and Ferraris exceeding $600,000.

Are We Subjects or Citizens?
Birthright Citizenship and the Constitution

Edward J. Erler | Imprimis
This summer, Americans will celebrate the semiquincentennial of the Declaration of Independence – our nation’s 250th birthday. Also this summer, the U.S. Supreme Court will render a decision in the case of Trump v. Barbara, a class-action lawsuit challenging President Trump’s executive order ending the practice of birthright citizenship. The two are connected, because Trump v. Barbara involves issues fundamental to the meaning of the Declaration and the future of the American experiment in republican government. It is worth the time and effort of every citizen to understand its importance.
9 Things to Know About Birthright Citizenship
The Heritage Foundation
President Donald Trump’s announcement that he’s considering an executive order on birthright citizenship has raised questions and much interest in the 14th Amendment. Here are some the basic things you should know about birthright citizenship.
Trump Push to Restrain Birthright Citizenship
Gets Ammo from Unlikely Source: Liberal Polling Group

Misty Severi
The Supreme Court is weighing the legality of Trump's executive order that looks to end birthright citizenship, which the administration argues “rewards illegal immigration." Trump imposed the order last year as a means to deter pregnant tourists from having their babies in the United States and to stop illegal migrants from using the method as a way to remain in the country. The administration is urging the Supreme Court to rule that children of temporary visitors and illegal migrants should not be deemed citizens at birth. A Pew Research Center study last month found that 320,000 babies were born to illegal migrant mothers in 2023, which amounts to roughly 9% of all 3.6 million babies born in the U.S. that year. A closer look found that roughly 245,000 of those babies had fathers who were also not citizens or lawful permanent residents.
Tulsi Gabbard Referral Sends Impeachment Plotters Scrambling
Wyatt Porter
Tulsi GabbardThe establishment is panicking because the truth about the first impeachment is finally coming out. DNI Tulsi Gabbard found that standard rules were ignored to target President Trump. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released documents showing a previous investigation into Donald Trump’s phone call with the Ukrainian president was flawed. The probe into the 2019 call did not follow standard Inspector General procedures during the first impeachment effort.
Who is Cole Allen? Caltech grad, 'teacher of the month,'
Would-Be Assassin

Peter Aitken
The alleged shooter at the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) dinner on Saturday night has been identified as Cole Tomas Allen, a 31-year-old teacher from California. President Donald Trump at a press conference held shortly after the incident described Allen as a “lone wolf” and a “whack job.” He said Allen was armed with “multiple weapons” when he tried to enter the dinner but was stopped outside the Washington Hilton’s ballroom by law enforcement. In that shooter’s manifesto, Allen refers to himself as a “Friendly Federal Assassin.”
Justice Department Cites Dinner Shooting to
Press Preservationists to Drop Trump Ballroom Suit

“It’s time to build the ballroom,” acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said plainly Sunday on X, posting a letter in which Assistant Attorney General Brett Shumate gave the National Trust for Historic Preservation, which has sued to block construction, until 9 a.m. Monday to dismiss its lawsuit. If it doesn’t do so, Shumate wrote, the government would ask a court to do so “in light of last night’s extraordinary events,” calling the Washington Hilton – the site of Saturday’s gala – “demonstrably unsafe” for events with the president “because its size presents extraordinary security challenges for the Secret Service.”
“Enough is enough, voluntarily dismiss this frivolous anti-Trump lawsuit."
Shooting Suspect's Manifesto Clearly Stated
Who He Wanted to Target, White House Says

The suspect in the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting told law enforcement after his arrest Saturday night that he intended to target Trump administration officials, senior federal law enforcement sources confirmed to Fox News. Authorities identified the suspect as 31-year-old Cole Allen, of Torrance, Calif., adding that he prepared a manifesto outlining his intent and shared anti-Trump and anti-Christian rhetoric on social media.
Trump to Senate GOP: Not Passing SAVE America Act
Will Lead to ‘unrecoverable death wish’

President Donald Trump has a grim warning for Senate Republicans who are balking at the SAVE America Act. The president has been pressing his party to throw its full support behind the legislation for months, but on Saturday, he made it clear that not doing so will have dire consequences for the Republican Party. “Not passing the SAVE AMERICA ACT will lead to the the worst results for a political party in the HISTORY of the United States Senate. An Unrecoverable Death Wish!!! Likewise, the FILIBUSTER – TERMINATE IT NOW!!!” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.
Virginia Judge Blocks Certification of Redistricting That
Would Have Given Democrats 10-1 Congressional Advantage

Noah Stanton
The champagne corks barely had time to hit the floor. Tuesday night, Virginia Democrats were riding high. Their months-long effort to redraw the state’s congressional maps had cleared its final hurdle … or so they thought. Voters had spoken, the referendum passed, and the path to electoral dominance seemed secure. The celebration, however, proved spectacularly premature. Less than 24 hours after the polls closed, Tazewell Circuit Court Judge Jack Hurtley handed Democrats a stunning defeat: His ruling didn’t just pause certification – it declared every single vote cast in the referendum “ineffective” and barred the state from moving forward with the new maps.

Trump Has a Bold Option to
Counter Virginia's New Gerrymander Scheme

Chad Mizelle
In 1790, Virginia and Maryland each gave five square miles of land to the Federal government to create a district for a new national capital. That Virginia land remained part of the District of Columbia until 1847, when it was retroceded to the commonwealth. The shameful reason for that retrocession was protecting slavery in Virginia when the district abolished it. President Trump could issue an executive order declaring the slavery-motivated retrocession unconstitutional, triggering certain legal action, and allowing the courts to finally weigh in on whether the county of Arlington and the city of Alexandria in fact properly belong to the District of Columbia.
Fairfax Co. Elections Official Refuses Comment on
Redistricting Mail-in Vote Fraud Allegations

A spokesman for the Fairfax County (Va.) Elections Office refused to comment Thursday when asked by the Washington Stand about multiple allegations on social media of mail-in voting improprieties in the Commonwealth’s redistricting proposal referendum. “We have no comment,” spokesman Shawn Stuart replied when asked about the late reporting of 35,000 mail-in ballots, all of which cast votes in support of the redistricting proposal that would replace the state’s current congressional district configurations that produced six Democratic victors and four Republican winners in the 2024 election. The redrawn map is expected to result in a 10-to-1 advantage for Democrats.
Final Rule Drives a Stake Through
Anti-Gun Left’s De-Banking Strategy

NRA ILA
The decades long discriminatory tension between the financial sector and the firearm industry underwent a positive shift with a final rule published on April 10 by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the FDIC. This landmark effort in a long fought battle, which NRA-ILA has reported on extensively, codifies the removal of “reputation risk” as a basis of adverse action under oversight programs that apply to FDIC-supervised financial institutions. Ultimately, this final rule eliminates reputation risk as a means of injecting politics into banking regulation by prohibiting examiners from using this subjective assessment to pressure or penalize banks. It also prohibits regulators from pushing banks to close accounts or deny services based on their ill-conceived aversion to the lawful firearms and ammunition industries, which are vital to supporting our constitutional rights.
Democrats Defend Non-English Truckers as
Safety Questions Grow

President Donald Trump has enforced long-standing federal rules that require commercial drivers to read and understand road signs in English. Federal safety codes require drivers to interpret warnings, follow instructions, and respond to emergency conditions without hesitation. Those rules critically exist because highway signs aren't optional choices. A driver moving at speed can't pause to translate a warning light or guess at meaning. It's a gap that creates risk for everybody sharing the road.

Unmasked: Secret ‘Witness 2’ Was Anti-Trump
Intel Officer Pushing Russiagate, Ukraine Impeachment

Jerry Dunleavy
Since he left the National Security Agency and the National Security Council, Gavin Wilde has hit the podcast circuit and penned articles suggesting Donald Trump parroted Russian propaganda while reportedly lamenting “MAGA conspiracy theories.” Just the News has confirmed that Wilde is the unnamed “Witness 2“ identified in the Ukraine impeachment documents released this month by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. The 2019 claims by Witness 2 were critical in helping the intelligence community watchdog push the whistleblower's complaint forward, and his Russiagate-linked biases were concealed from House investigators during the impeachment saga.

Swalwell: The Real Story Is the Cover-Up
The Demos Have a Blackmail File on ALL of its Politicians

Mark Alexander
To the larger point of the Demo cover-up, White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller declared: “The real story here is how the Democrat Party controls its members through blackmail. It’s got a blackmail file on ALL of its politicians, and it uses them to leverage and control them until it’s time to release it! That is how sick and twisted the Democrat Party is. That’s the next thread we’ve got to pull out here.” "Democrats sent him to Congress, they contributed to his fundraisers, they worked on his campaigns. And only when he became inconvenient to their political strategy did they open up that closet door and let all his skeletons fall out. That’s not morality, it’s hypocrisy. And it is further truth that the Left does not give a crap about women," said Commentator Brittany Hughes.

So, the Premise Behind Biden's 2020 Run
Was Built on a Lie Paid for by the SPLC?

Matt Vespa
This story is hard to believe, but it’s not entirely surprising, given how the Left operates. The Southern Poverty Law Center tried to present itself as an extremist watchdog, but later became a branch of left-wing activism. Some argued that the SPLC was a terror group after they published a list of conservative organizations they labeled as hate groups. The Justice Department uncovered a series of fraud charges against the group, revealing how the SPLC basically paid people to be racist to fabricate false stories. Their entire activist story was a massive false flag operation.

Everything the average Democrat believes about America and Republicans is based on a series of hoaxes. The most obvious case, of course, was the Steele Dossier, upon which the decade-long hate campaign against Donald Trump has been based, along with every accusation that he is a tool of Russia. It was just made up out of whole cloth, and became gospel for millions of Democrats who, to this day, believe it in their bones.

Judge Blocked Conservatives from Discovery,
Then Dismissed the Case for Lack of Evidence

Tyler O'Neil
A district court judge repeatedly shielded the Southern Poverty Law Center from scrutiny during a defamation case and then dismissed a conservative group’s case because it “lacked evidence,” according to the conservative group’s attorneys. Attorneys for the estate of Donald A. King and his organization, the Dustin Inman Society, filed an 81-page brief Thursday asking a higher court to reconsider the case. They claimed that Judge Corey L. Maze of the Northern District of Alabama erred in rejecting their attempts to obtain evidence proving the SPLC acted with actual malice in branding the society an “anti-immigrant hate group.”

SPLC Indicted for Allegedly Funding Extremist Groups

Cole Harrison
They say the truth will set you free. What they never mention is that first, it makes a whole lot of powerful people furious. And right now, the truth is clawing its way into the light, and the Swamp is positively seething. For every patriot who has sensed for years that something was deeply, fundamentally rotten in our country, prepare for vindication. A single, monumental lie, when nurtured by a corrupt establishment, can do more than just mislead. It can hijack a nation. It can be weaponized to ruin good men, to seize unimaginable power, and to shove a radical agenda down the throats of the American people. When a lie that big finally shatters, you don’t just sweep up the pieces. You demand a full accounting for the damage done. And that’s just what Trump did.
House Judiciary Report Details 'lax approach' to Fraud at
Democrat Fundraising Bundler ActBlue

An interim staff report from the House Judiciary Committee released Monday details what it called a "lax approach to fraud prevention" and a mass exit of legal compliance staffers from ActBlue. The donations processing giant is the primary hub for political contributions to the Democrats, their candidates, and other major left-wing causes. It has long faced scrutiny over alleged foreign and fraudulent contributions. The Judiciary report asserted that ActBlue took a "lax approach to fraud prevention even though it has detected at least 22 significant fraud campaigns on the platform in recent years, including several from foreign sources."

Radical Leftists Stunned by Sudden IRS Move –
This Could Change Everything

Have you ever gotten the feeling that the whole system is a rigged game? Of course you have. It’s because it is. For decades, we’ve watched a shadowy network of nameless, faceless organizations dump endless cash into poisoning our culture and hijacking our politics, all while operating completely in the dark. "The U.S. Department of the Treasury announced Thursday that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will revise Form 990 to increase transparency and curb misconduct within tax-exempt organizations. The move specifically targets fiscal sponsorship arrangements, government grants, and contracts – mechanisms critics argue have been exploited by “dark money” networks to operate without public scrutiny. We are ending the days of hiding fraud, abuse, and extremist activity behind complicated nonprofit arrangements,” said Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

Trump Urged to Declare 'American' the
Official U.S. Language Ahead of 250th Anniversary

As America’s 250th birthday approaches, President Donald Trump is being encouraged to change the name of the nation’s language. Writer Rob Lockwood, a former advisor to Doug Burgum, joined "Fox & Friends" Saturday to discuss his Washington Post op-ed calling for the U.S. to adopt its own language. "Enough with English. Enough with American English. Let’s call it what it is: American," Lockwood said. He said Trump has the ability to move the U.S. away from the King’s English, arguing that while the U.S. broke from Britain two and a half centuries ago, its language remains tied to the past.

Let’s be blunt about the deal we’re supposed to have with our government. We give up a little freedom to live by the rules, and in return, they keep us safe. It’s the most basic function of a civilized nation. Order over chaos. Law over anarchy. Protection for the innocent. But a sickness of ideology has infected the leadership of America’s biggest cities. A new breed of politician has decided their progressive agenda is more important than the safety of their own citizens.
Trump Restores a Landmark and Saves Millions
President Donald Trump has directed a major renovation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, giving Secretary of Interior Doug Burgum the lead on the project. The pool badly leaked and looked neglected for years. Trump chose an industrial-grade swimming pool surface in American flag blue. The coating covers the aging granite bottom and seals the leaks. Trump announced the work on April 23 and set a clear timeline. The job costs around $1.5 million and should finish within weeks. Previous plans called for full granite replacement at roughly $301 million, stretching over many years.
Trump, as is his custom, chose to act.
 Mysterious Death of UFO Whistleblower
Comes After He Agrees to Testify Before Congress

Efforts to cast light on unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAP) added new mystery as a congressman sought answers on the mysterious death of a whistleblower ahead of testimony. Recently, the air of the unknown that surrounds UAP (previously UFO) has become associated with an increasing sense of cover-up as top scientists and researchers linked with space and energy technology have either disappeared or turned up dead. Now, nearly two years after reports of a U.S. Air Force veteran’s death by accidental overdose, Missouri Rep. Eric Burlison (R) raised concerns about others who may be set to testify.
F/A-XX Stealth Fighter Selection to Finally Come by August
Driven by a race to get ahead of quickly evolving enemy capabilities, the U.S. Navy is now aiming to enter the next step of contracting for its 6th-generation crewed fighter – known as F/A-XX – by August. That’s according to Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Adm. Daryl Caudle, who spoke with reporters Monday at the Sea-Air-Space 2026 exposition near Washington, D.C. “One of the challenges we’re seeing is, not only [are] our peer competitors improving their capability for anti-air, either air-to-air or surface-to-air, but the lower cost of entry of very capable weapons is also making more players on the field in which that level of stealth and technology is required,” Caudle, the Navy’s top officer, said.

New York City Police Department (NYPD) detectives arrested Zahir Davis, 18, on Friday night following an urgent search for the person who gunned down a child at a Queens playground earlier this month, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch announced in a Saturday X post. Officials said Davis fled to Jamaica after Pierre was shot, but returned to New York on Friday where he was immediately arrested by NYPD detectives assigned to the U.S. Marshals Regional Fugitive Task Force. Social media video of the incident showed a male repeatedly striking a young boy with his hands before opening fire toward the child.

Enhance Security Against Antisemitism at Schools

Jon Brenner
New York City has survived a lot – but it may have finally met its match in its own mayor. In just a few months, Zohran Mamdani has managed to let New Yorkers freeze to death in their own apartments, announce a $30 million government-run grocery store that won’t open for years, and publicly doxx residents for the crime of owning expensive real estate. It’s been a masterclass in radical governance – ideology over competence, slogans over solutions. You’d think the man had already scraped the bottom of the barrel. But on Friday, New York City’s socialist-in-chief found a way to dig even deeper.
New Education Dept Rule
Could Strip Aid from Low-Return Degrees

The U.S. Department of Education has unveiled a proposed rule that would strip federal student loan eligibility from college programs whose graduates earn less than the average high school graduate. In an April 17 press release, the department stated that the newly proposed rule for colleges and universities across the United States is an effort to help families determine whether college programs are worth the money that students borrow or spend to attend them.

Ryan Preece, who is single-handedly responsible for the removal of the backstretch grass at Daytona International Speedway, has a blunt message for Stephen A. Smith: "Shut up and steer!" OK, I'm paraphrasing, but I assume Preece at least thought that. For those who missed it, Stephen A. sent the NASCAR world into a frenzy this week when he said NASCAR drivers aren't athletes. It's not a new debate, by the way, but Stephen A. brought it back to the surface, and it went ... poorly. [Crash video at link]
Kimmel Calls Melania Trump an ‘Expectant Widow’
Before White House Correspondents’ Dinner Shooting

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel mocked President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump in a White House Correspondents' Dinner parody this week, calling her "an expectant widow" and joking about her marriage, just days before the dinner was disrupted by a shooting. "Our First Lady, Melania, is here. Look at Melania, so beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow," Kimmel said in his parody of the event on Thursday.

Newsom Orders Reservoirs Emptied in Preparation for Fire Season
Governor Gavin Newsom took decisive action on Tuesday as he ordered California reservoirs drained in preparation ahead of this year's fire season. To ensure that high-risk areas of the state would be rendered sufficiently vulnerable to hot, dry weather and high winds, Newsom had officials remove every last drop of water that could potentially be used in an emergency. "We do this now so we can do nothing later," Newsom said. "I've ordered my team to make sure all of our reservoirs are at zero-percent capacity so that when the fires come, we are fully prepared to fail to protect our citizens."

“I know that the new legislation has asked us to eliminate it, but it’s in our hearts in education, so education has that just naturally,” Veronica McDaniel said in a video captured by investigative group Accuracy in Media. McDaniel is a recruitment specialist at ASU’s Mary Lou Fulton College for Teaching and Learning Innovation. She added that within Fulton College, the curriculum “hasn’t changed much” since President Donald Trump’s recent crackdown on DEI in higher education.

Mom Who Got 2-Day Sentence After Killing Baby While High
Arrested for Endangering Someone Else's Child

A Pennsylvania mother who was previously convicted of accidentally killing her infant son while she was high was arrested again for allegedly endangering another child. Pennsylvania prosecutors charged 32-year-old Arissa Ward with felony child endangerment and misdemeanor recklessly endangering another person after a 2-year-old she was supposed to be babysitting was found wandering in the middle of the road with no shoes or socks on, a spokesperson for Pennsylvania State Police told Fox News Digital.

A well-known millionaire trophy hunter who owned a California winery was trampled to death by five rampaging elephants while stalking his next big game kill in Africa.

Petroleum Rules the World: We Control Most of It
Clarice Feldman
Despite the best efforts of those who would utilize the preposterous climate change scare to control us and depopulate the world, petroleum still rules world economies. About 80% of all world energy is petro-based – it fuels industrial and agricultural production along with transportation. Constricting supplies causes all prices to rise – the inflationary effects are well-known (except perhaps to the bright thinkers promoting net zero policies, which are tanking their economies and immiserating their citizens). For this reason, foreign policy strategists, media pundits, and governments who listened to them for decades avoided attacking Iran, fearing worldwide disruption of a critical supply. Yet at the moment, by ignoring all these bright thinkers and conventional analyses, the President’s genius strategy has placed us in the driver’s seat.
Chief Justice Roberts Could Learn from Baseball Great Ted Williams
When It Comes to Leaks

Jonathan Turley
The legendary baseball player and manager Ted Williams once wrote a letter to Angels outfielder Jay Johnstone on improving his hitting. Among his pieces of advice was that "with two strikes, you simply have to protect the plate." Williams' advice on not striking out came to mind this week when another leak of confidential information rocked the Supreme Court. (The prior leak of the Dobbs decision went unsolved.) For Chief Justice John Roberts, the message is clear: it is times like these when you have to protect the plate.
Distress Call Captures Tanker Under Fire,
Iran Shuts Hormuz Trapping Thousands of Sailors

Fox News reports on heightened tensions in the Middle East as Iran's Revolutionary Guard reaffirms strict control over the Strait of Hormuz and fires on passing ships. President Donald Trump, speaking from the Oval Office, states the U.S. naval blockade will remain in full force. White House correspondent Alex Hogan provides updates on the escalating diplomatic and military standoff. Hundreds of commercial tankers are stranded on both sides of the Strait of Hormuz after Iran shut the critical chokepoint on April 18, halting traffic and leaving crews trapped amid reports of gunfire and "traumatic experiences" on board.
Is Just War Theory Just Theory?
Sophie Starkova
Pope less fearful of IranJust like any other tool, war can be used for good or for ill. It is a tool that God Himself has used to mete out divine justice on His enemies – those who have done evil in the sight of the Lord. As Ecclesiastes says, “There is a time for war and a time for peace.” If Pope Leo was right recently when he said that Jesus “does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war,” then that would mean God didn’t listen to the prayers of Moses, Joshua, David, or a host of other biblical figures. Has Pope Leo read the Old Testament? Is he suggesting that God didn’t listen to the prayers of Pope Urban II, who initiated and led the First Crusade?
Trump Says U.S. Navy 'blew hole in engine room' of
Iran Ship Trying to Get Past Blockade

President Donald Trump said the U.S. has taken custody of an Iranian cargo ship days after the Islamic Republic announced it had closed the Strait of Hormuz again due to Washington's blockade of the passage. "Today, an Iranian-flagged cargo ship named TOUSKA, nearly 900 feet long and weighing almost as much as an aircraft carrier, tried to get past our Naval Blockade, and it did not go well for them. The U.S. Navy Guided Missile Destroyer USS SPRUANCE intercepted the TOUSKA in the Gulf of Oman, and gave them fair warning to stop," he wrote on his Truth Social account on Sunday.

What We Were Told About Trump Impeachment in 2019, and
What We Know Now After Declassified Evidence

Jerry Dunleavy
Years after a 2019 impeachment furor aimed at President Donald Trump, new facts have slowly emerged about the alleged whistleblower whose complaint sparked the Democrat-led effort, including through emails, testimony, and newly-declassified memos which shine a light on the true origins of the saga. The watchdog’s investigators were also acutely aware the whistle-blower's allegations were based solely on second-hand or third-hand accounts about what Trump was alleged to have done and had worked on his whistle-blower efforts with a witness whose name was redacted and who told investigators that he was connected to disgraced FBI agent Peter Strzok and that he had co-authored the flawed intelligence community assessment on alleged Russian meddling in 2016.
DHS Auditor Among Victims in Deadly Georgia Shooting Spree
Suspect a Naturalized Citizen

A Department of Homeland Security employee described by colleagues as kind and dedicated was killed Monday during a violent series of attacks in Georgia. Authorities say the same suspect is believed to be responsible for multiple shootings across the area. Lauren Bullis, 40, was walking her French bulldog when she was shot and stabbed in Panthersville, an unincorporated community southeast of Atlanta. Investigators say her killing was part of a broader rampage that left multiple victims dead or injured, CNN reported.

Justice Sotomayor Apologizes to Kavanaugh
Over Remarks on His Immigration Stop Opinion

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor publicly apologized to Justice Brett Kavanaugh on Wednesday for her comments at a recent talk criticizing his opinion concerning the Trump administration’s immigration stops. “At a recent appearance ... I referred to a disagreement with one of my colleagues in a prior case, but I made remarks that were inappropriate,” Sotomayor said in a statement. ... “I had a colleague in that case who wrote, you know, these are only temporary stops,” Sotomayor said at her talk last week in Kansas, according to Bloomberg Law. “This is from a man whose parents were professionals. And probably doesn’t really know any person who works by the hour.”
Unearthed Emails Expose How Obama-era EPA
Plotted 'massive' Energy Regulations: Watchdog

A government watchdog is accusing the Obama administration’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of pre-determining the legal basis for its climate framework. In an amicus filing before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, the Government Accountability and Oversight (GAO), a nonpartisan nonprofit, unearthed communications from inside the EPA in 2009. Those communications, the GAO argued, show that climate-minded officials treated Obama’s Endangerment Finding as a foregone conclusion and later used it as the foundation for vehicle emission standards, power plant regulations and permitting restrictions.

Wyoming Republican Introduces Legislation to
Protect American Energy from Left-Wing Litigation

Wyoming GOP Rep. Harriet Hageman introduced legislation Friday to protect American energy producers from being targeted by retroactive left-wing lawsuits. The legislation bans climate liability lawsuits from being filed retroactively, dismisses pending lawsuits on the date of the bill’s enactment, voids state energy penalty laws and affirms the federal government has sole authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and interstate environmental standards.
'Nepo Babies of Iran's Regime' Exposes Lavish Lives of
Iranian Leaders' Children Living in the West

Niqab face veilFox Nation’s new special, "Nepo Babies of Iran’s Regime," brings to light the striking contrast between the lavish lives of the relatives of Iran’s ruling elite living abroad and the suffering of ordinary Iranians under the Islamic Republic. The documentary features experts on the regime and Iranians who escaped the theocracy, highlighting the hypocrisy behind powerful Iranian leaders funding sports cars, designer labels and nights at the club for their children – a lifestyle that runs counter to the strict form of Islam they're forcing onto the Iranian people.

Meet the New Socialist Congresswoman from New Jersey!
Chris Talgo
Amidst the ongoing conflict in Iran, a major political event took place in the United States on April 16, 2026, that deserves more attention and scrutiny than the mainstream media will likely devote to it. The event to which I refer to is the victory of Analilia Mejia in the New Jersey special election for congressional district 11. Mejia’s decisive win in the seat formerly held by New Jersey governor Mikie Sherrill should send political shockwaves because I think it is more than fair to say that she will likely be perhaps the most socialistic member of Congress.

Supreme Court Sides with Chevron in $745M Louisiana Case
The Supreme Court handed environmental plaintiffs a unanimous defeat on Friday, ruling that Chevron USA can fight its Louisiana coastal damage lawsuit in federal court rather than the sympathetic state-court venue that produced a nearly three-quarter-billion-dollar verdict against the company. The 8-0 decision in Chevron USA Inc. v. Plaquemines Parish vacated a Fifth Circuit ruling and remanded the case back to the lower courts. Justice Clarence Thomas wrote the opinion, joined by six colleagues; Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson concurred in the judgment separately.
Rufo: California is Providing
Free Sex-Change Operations to Illegal Aliens

John Sexton
This is absolutely nuts. Christopher Rufo did some investigation in San Francisco after getting a tip from someone he calls a whistleblower. What he found was that SF homeless shelters were open to illegal aliens, which really isn't a surprise. California is a sanctuary state and does not cooperate with ICE on anything. So of course they aren't checking the immigration status of homeless people in shelters. Regular readers may also remember that last year Gov. Newsom signed a law which made all illegal aliens eligible for Medi-Cal, the state's version of Medicaid. And apparently that means some of the homeless illegal immigrants living in shelters are also getting free medical care which includes gender affirming care and surgery.
Evidence Shows the Indisputable Harm of Transgenderism
Samantha Koch
For years, the transgender debate has been framed as a simple matter of compassion – just let people live as their true selves, and everything else will fall into place. That was the pitch. Firm, emotional, and nearly impossible to challenge without being called names and silenced. For years, trans ideology spread without guardrails – drawing in countless kids and teens with the promise of a personal utopia, shutting parents out of critical conversations and treatments, and elevating “research” and “science” as if they were beyond question. Thankfully, the conversation is shifting. As more data, money trails, and real-world outcomes have come to light, the reality and harm of these past narratives are impossible – and even irresponsible – to ignore.
California Regulators Kill Charity Fireworks for
America’s 250th, Sparking Outrage
As the nation prepares for its 250th Independence Day celebration, a decades-long California Fourth of July fireworks tradition that has raised millions for local children’s programs is going dark this year after the California Coastal Commission rejected a final effort to keep it alive, citing environmental concerns to protect the bay. "This community pays for everything – everything. City fees, and the city doesn’t give us a break. We pay $20,000 to the city for police and fire, which I’m fine with, because there’s 100,000 people enjoying the fireworks," said Morris, a Long Beach resident and business owner.
Long Beach fireworks
The decision stands in contrast to other approvals by the commission, including a permit granted to SeaWorld allowing up to 40 nights of fireworks. "They get 40 nights in Mission Bay. All I’m asking for is 20 minutes – it doesn’t make any sense," Morris said. Morris, 78, also pushed back on the environmental concerns cited by the commission, pointing to years of testing around the event.
100,000 people enjoy the fireworks which benefit local children. The SeaWorld fireworks show benefit who? SeaWorld I suppose.

Brent Saba – a fire inspector and firefighter – said his HOA recently ordered him to remove three non-operational hydrants placed in front of his home. The association claimed the items violate neighborhood rules governing front and side yard landscaping, according to local outlet KSNV News 3 Las Vegas.
How Biden Weaponized the DOJ Against Christians
Emmy Griggin
Donald Trump’s predecessor was a professing Christian who belied his supposed convictions. “I’m a practicing Catholic. I’m not big on abortion,” Joe Biden told supporters at a 2023 fundraiser. “But guess what? Roe v. Wade got it right.” Well, just when you thought Biden could not get any more partisan or corrupt, President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice just released a 900-page dossier documenting the collusion, pro-abortion bias, and corruption that happened under Biden’s DOJ... So much for the party of “No Kings” and “Save Our Democracy.” President Biden and his agencies abused power and targeted Christians, mothers, families, and pro-life advocates. The former president’s stooges have a lot to answer for.

Calif. LGBTQ+ Organization Seeks $25M from Legislature for Gender-Affirming Care for Minors

‘A real loser!’ Trump Sets His Sights on Fox News Host and

President Donald Trump reinvigorated his belief that Fox News should take “The Five” co-host Jessica Tarlov off the air, calling the liberal “one of the Least Attractive and Talented People on all of Television.” Tarlov was engaged in her ever-familiar role of criticizing Trump during Thursday’s edition of “The Five,” claiming that he currently has a 35 percent approval rating in most polls. “He’s not a politician,” co-host Greg Gutfeld pointed out in the segment, prompting Tarlov to fire back, “He is! Stop saying that he’s just the host of The Apprentice who came to save us.” “You can’t understand Trump because his political decisions align with his personal and patriotic ones,” Gutfeld responded. “Personal ones, like his own bank account,” Tarlov countered, regurgitating a familiar attack on the left that Trump and his family are enriching themselves while he is in office.

After Iran, Trump Needs to Bomb the
Administrative State Into Submission

I & I Editorial Board
Earlier this week, the Trump administration took another step toward liberating the economy by rolling back a Biden-era rule that needlessly hampered oil and gas production. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said that, with this and several other deregulatory actions, the administration “is unleashing domestic energy and revising burdensome, unworkable Biden-era oil and natural gas policies.” That’s the good news.

This rescue mission stands as a stark indictment of the generation of top brass who preceded it – the same admirals and generals who spent decades losing wars and abandoning Americans in times of need – all the while retaining their Washington, D.C. accolades.
Iran Talks Done in by Tehran's Delusions Over
Leverage They Don't Have, U.S. Official Says

Peace negotiations with Iran fell apart after Tehran severely misjudged what kind of leverage the regime believed it held, a U.S. official told Fox News Digital on Sunday. While Vice President JD Vance left Islamabad, Pakistan, without a deal between the U.S. and Iran, the official said Vance used the talks to measure the Iranians own assessment of their position in the negotiations. Vance found that Tehran thought they held a strong hand going into negotiations, according to the official, who added that no deal can be achieved when one party deludes itself into believing they have leverage that, in reality, they do not have.

"I am skeptical about where we’re heading with the Iranians because I flat don’t trust them, and I don't like taking the pressure off them by going to a ceasefire, which is what they want in any event to force the United States to stop the war," Keane said Tuesday. He warned that Tehran has a long track record of using negotiations to buy time, calling Iranian leaders "experts at obfuscating and delaying deals" who "lie and promise and don’t deliver."

The Trump Card the President Holds if Iran Won’t Bend:
A Naval Blockade

Before he launched a daring military capture of the dictator Nicholas Maduro, President Donald Trump brought the Venezuelan economy to its knees with a naval blockade that strangled the nation’s oil revenues. If Iran refuses to accept the final deal the United States offered Saturday, Trump could bomb Tehran back to the “Stone Ages” as he vowed. Or he could reprise his successful blockade strategy to choke an already teetering Iranian economy and ratchet up diplomatic pressure on China and India by cutting them off one of their key sources of oil.

The American Left’s Obliviousness to Iran’s Obvious Terrorism
J.T. Young
Everyone but America’s Left now acknowledges reality: Iran’s theocracy is an irredeemable terrorist regime. Whatever shred of doubt remained before the current conflict has been removed over the last few weeks. Terror is what it does and why it exists. The current U.S.-Israel conflict with Iran is due solely to the theocracy’s use of terror throughout its 47-year reign. Without Iran’s terrorism, there would be no current conflict. The U.S. and Israel’s military response was neither random nor unwarranted.
Only America’s Left refuses to accept these terrorist facts.
Election Day and Election Reforms (Not Week, Month, Season)

The United States Supreme Court is finally ruling on an issue (Watson v. RNC) that should have been decided long ago: the dissonant practice of accepting ballots after the Election Day deadline. This case could indeed shift the 2026 midterms in Republicans’ favor, since Democrats often win by broad and unjustified election expansion, which opens the door to cheating, stuffing, and undoing the vote. More election cases are coming before the United States Supreme Court, and the conservative majority looks more inclined to bring the much-needed order and common sense back to our elections.

Pundits who have millions of followers, Congressmen, Senators, candidates, and even major media outlets are cozying up to people like Hasan Piker and Jennifer Welch, electing people like Zohran Mamdani, and celebrating candidates like Graham Platner who actually had a Nazi tattoo and called himself a communist. Social media is filled – even after a bunch of nurses, doctors, and other professionals were fired for calling for the death of people – with behavior in the most deranged way possible.
Swalwell Suspends Campaign for California Governor

The move comes after at least four female former staffers of Swalwell's accused him of sexual impropriety. One staffer accused him of sexual assault on multiple occasions... Luna also lambasted the Dems on X, writing, "So the Dems don’t want Swalwell to be governor of California, but he can stay a member of Congress? Are we running a halfway house for sexual predators in Congress now? No. He should not be allowed to stay in Congress."

The documents declassified by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard ... provide a starkly different portrait of the alleged whistleblower whose name and face were never shown to the public and whose lawyerly written letter accusing Trump of hijacking Ukraine policy for political gain was heralded by Democrats to launch impeachment proceedings.

The Pacoima Reservoir and Big Tujunga Reservoir, both located in the Sunland Tujunga area – where steep canyons press up against dense neighborhoods – are both slated to undergo restoration projects. Both projects require lowering water levels, sometimes significantly, during the dry season, when wildfire risk is at its peak.

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife said DNA testing of the 2.5-foot-long pest, known as a nutria, shows the current population is linked to animals in Oregon, not to the species that roamed California in the 1970s before being wiped out. “This study supports our long-held belief that the current invasion is the result of reintroduction rather than explosive growth of a remnant, undetected population,” the CDFW ‘s Nutria Eradication Program Manager Valerie Cook said.

Todd Stanton was on his way to work early on the morning of December 4, 2025, when a woman suddenly appeared in front of his truck. Stanton was able to stop before he hit the woman, but was alarmed to see that she was holding a gun. As she advanced towards his truck, the woman raised her arms and pointed her pistol at him. Stanton drew his own gun and fired several shots through his windshield, striking the woman multiple times. She collapsed on the road, and Stanton called 911 to report what had happened.
‘Not gonna stop for no train’: Driver Charged After
Train Clips School Bus with 29 Children on Board: Video


It was a close call for a packed school bus in Central Florida that found itself in the path of an oncoming train. Surveillance video captured last Thursday’s crash at a railroad crossing in Sumter County, which deputies described as a near catastrophic disaster. The fast-moving freight train clipped the rear of the school bus with 29 children on board at the crossing. “Trains don’t sneak up on people, folks. It was poor judgment, and that’s what led to this arrest: poor judgment that placed children at risk,” said Sumter County Sheriff Pat Breedon.
Gavin Newsom's Wife Empathized With San Quentin Inmates by
Sharing Shocking Story of Killing Her Sister

A video making the rounds on social media Tuesday shows Jennifer Siebel Newsom – the proudly woke filmmaker and wife of California Gov. Gavin Newsom – detailing how she used the story of accidentally killing her sister as a child to relate to youth offenders in San Quentin state prison. Siebel Newsom, who was 6 years old at the time of the deadly accident involving a golf cart in Hawaii, says in the video that she blamed herself for her sister Stacey’s death, and the story “shocked” the inmates who were juvenile offenders.
Far-left Plot to Seize Control of the LAPD –
As Cops Warn They Will Destroy the City

Far-left Los Angeles politicians are plotting a takeover of the LAPD that would give them control over the way the city is policed, The California Post can reveal. Activists from the Democratic Socialists of America are pushing to snatch control of the country’s third-largest police force in a major threat to the city’s law and order. The scheme, uncovered by The Post, would shift power to the City Council and away from Karen Bass and the LA Board of Police Commissioners.
Starved Toddler Died of Neglect After Eating Diapers, Drywall in
Filthy Room, As Parents' Room Was Kept Clean

An Indiana couple was arrested after their malnourished toddler died in deplorable living conditions, with investigators alleging the child had eaten pieces of diapers and drywall before his death and that the parents waited roughly 14 hours after last seeing him alive to call 911, according to police and court records. Trevor Reichard-Hayes, 39, and Katherine Carter, 31, are facing murder and neglect charges in connection with the death of 2-year-old Erik Reichard, the Tell City Police Department said in a press release.
Catholic Sisters Face Jail Time for Refusing to
Comply with NY Gender Mandates

Catholic nuns who have spent more than a century caring for the dying poor are suing New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, saying a new state law could force them to choose between their faith and their mission or face fines, loss of licensing and even jail time. "We are consecrated religious Sisters and have one mission," Mother Marie Edward, O.P., told Fox News Digital in a statement. "It is to provide comfort and skilled care to persons dying of cancer who cannot afford nursing care. We do not take insurance or government funds or money from our patients or families. The care is totally free."
Supreme Court Blocks Progressive Candidate’s Bid to
Infiltrate Ohio GOP Primary After Lying About Party Affiliation

Noah Stanton
There’s a certain sacred trust embedded in every election. When a candidate raises their hand and swears an oath about who they are, voters take them at their word. It’s the foundation of self-governance; the belief that the person on the ballot is exactly who they claim to be. But what happens when that trust is weaponized? When a candidate signs their name to a sworn declaration, knowing full well it’s a calculated lie designed to deceive the very voters they’re asking to support them? Seriously – what kind of person does that?

The DSA Is Following the Soros Playbook –
The Democratic Socialists of America Is Prioritizing Local Elections

Josh Appel
Americans pay too little attention to local politics. A decade ago, progressive billionaire George Soros took advantage of this fact, pouring millions into local races to get progressive district attorneys elected across the country. Now, the increasingly radical Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) has adopted the Soros strategy. Rather than supporting candidates at the national level, the organization increasingly focuses on small, local elections. Races for city councils, state assemblies, and state senates often get scarce media attention but represent real opportunities for power that the DSA is increasingly seizing.
A Foolish NATO Was a Big Loser in the Iran War
Victor Davis Hanson
Trump’s harangues were not what was undermining NATO. Instead, he ripped off a happy-face scab and exposed a festering wound of increasingly anti-American hypocrisy beneath. If you wanted to wreck the alliance, there would be no better way than to follow the duplicitous examples of Western European NATO members.
Trump Vows U.S. Will Strike Iran’s Power Plants, Bridges
If Strait of Hormuz Is Not Reopened – "Praise be to Allah."

President Donald Trump directed a profanity-laced message to Iran on Sunday, signaling the U.S. will target the regime's power plants and bridges on Tuesday if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened. "Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran," Trump's post read. "There will be nothing like it!!!"
Airman Rescue Shows U.S Can Penetrate Enemy Territory
'anywhere' in Iran, Former Pentagon Official Warns

A former Pentagon official said the rescue of a U.S. airman in Iran served as more than a recovery mission, saying it was a warning to Tehran that the United States can penetrate anywhere in Iranian territory to carry out operations ranging from rescues to securing sensitive targets. "This demonstrates to the Iranian leadership that we can get anywhere that we so choose and hold ground as long as we desire to accomplish a mission," Brent Sadler, a retired Navy captain, said on "Fox & Friends Weekend" Sunday.

Trump Calls Rescue of Downed Air Force Airman an 'Easter Miracle'
President Donald Trump hailed the rescue of a missing U.S. airman from a downed F-15E in Iran as an "Easter Miracle," after U.S. forces recovered the second crew member following a high-risk mission behind enemy lines. "The rescue was an Easter Miracle. The enemy was large and violent. The rescuers were brilliant, strong, decisive, and as cool as anyone can be," Trump told NBC host Kristen Welker. "Such a rescue has never happened before in so violent an enemy territory. It is usually not done because it is considered not doable."

Combat Search and Rescue in the Spotlight

The loss of an F-15E Strike Eagle in Iran prompted specialized Combat Search and Rescue units to spring into action, with a multitude of assets working together to recover all missing aircrew. Here’s how. On Apr. 3, 2026, multiple specialized units sprang into action for a complex mission they train extensively for but hope never to execute: Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR). As we reported, an F-15E Strike Eagle was lost over Iran and an A-10C Thunderbolt II crashed in Kuwait after being hit by enemy fire while supporting the CSAR operation.

A-10 Warthog Crashes Near Strait of Hormuz
A U.S. Air Force A-10 Thunderbolt II reportedly crashed Friday near the Strait of Hormuz at around the same time an F-15E fighter jet was shot down in Iran. The A-10 pilot was subsequently rescued, two U.S. officials told The New York Times... The A-10 ... has seen an increased role since the start of the Iran war. The attack aircraft has joined maritime interdiction operations, among other missions, along the southern edges of the conflict, targeting Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps fast-attack watercraft in the Strait of Hormuz, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine said last month.

Trump, Israel React to France Blocking
 U.S. Planes from French Airspace

American and Israeli leaders excoriated the cowardly, treacherous French government for preventing American airplanes from flying through the country’s airspace with military supplies for beleaguered Israel. As the Iranian regime continues to fire at civilian targets in Israel and other nations, and as the United States and Israel take on the world’s worst terror-sponsoring regime (Iran’s), French President Emmanuel Macron and his government are determined to be on the wrong side of history. Donald Trump pulled no punches.
‘He’ll gut you like a trout’: Legal Expert Warns
Bondi’s Replacement Could Be Dem’s Worst Nightmare

But those who may be expecting a period of tumult at the DOJ during the transition could be sorely mistaken because Blanche brings a certain ruthlessness to the table that was sorely lacking in Bondi and, according to constitutional law expert Professor Jonathan Turley, “He’ll gut you like a trout.” “I think that the president obviously is trying to prepare for what he sees as coming. And there’s a lot of unknowns there. I would say that when Chuck Schumer celebrates this, he should think again. Pam Bondi is still in good favor with not just the president, but most people in that party,” he said. 
Sanders and AOC Have Data Centers in Crosshairs,
But Research Raises Doubts About Their Criticisms

Kevin Killough
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., teamed up on a proposed moratorium on data centers. The measure would “enact a reasonable pause” in the development of such facilities. Ocasio-Cortez said in an announcement on the bill that AI poses an “existential harm” to our society. The two lawmakers demand that “billionaire Big Tech oligarchs” not be allowed to harm health and safety, that AI should be developed for the benefit of workers and not the wealthy, and that data centers should not impact electricity costs... The Institute for Energy Research (IER) published a study recently that analyzed the relationship between the number of data centers in a state and electricity rates in those states. The study found no statistically significant correlation between the number of data centers and high energy costs.
From Crossfire Hurricane to Plasmic Echo – FBI Agents
Objected to the Mar-a-Lago Raid. Obama DOJ Overruled Them.

Doug Ross
In March 2026, Judicial Watch uncovered a cache of internal FBI records through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. The documents – filed under the code name “Plasmic Echo” – reveal what happened behind closed doors before, during, and after the unprecedented August 2022 raid on President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence. FBI field agents told headquarters there was no probable cause for the search. The DOJ (in all likelihood, controlled by Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, acting as Barack Obama’s political hitman) overruled them and ordered the raid anyway. The raid seems to be just another chapter in a long continuum of government weaponization against Donald J. Trump – stretching back to 2015.
Comer Claims U.S. Census Bureau Was Incorrect in 2020,
Costing Republicans Multiple House Seats

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said Monday his committee has received information showing the United States' Census Bureau in 2020 miscalculated the number of Americans in a way that cost Republicans multiple House seats. "The basic count was miscounted grossly in the last census, to the tune of costing the Republicans anywhere from four to five congressional seat," Comer said on the "Just The News, No Noise" TV show. "The fact that we lost [is] because the Census Bureau was biased. If you go back to when the census was taken, the last time it was during COVID, no one knocked on anybody's doors because of COVID. So they ended up estimating.

New York Times Reports the Primary Fundraising Mechanism of Democrats Willfully Accepted Foreign Donations
In a rather stunning outline by the New York Times the progressive outlet is reporting of serious concerns within the leadership of ActBlue related to their willfully blind reception of foreign sources of money to fund Democrat candidates. The remarkable aspect is not just that ActBlue takes foreign funds, but rather the New York Times revealing internal legal discussions about it.  According to the Times reporting, the Eric Holder law firm Covington & Burling, the primary legal mechanism for the ActBlue/DNC machinery, lies at the heart of the matter.... Put the New York Times story together with the James O’Keefe investigation, and then overlay the Texas AG investigation and criminal referral, and there’s not just smoke -or fire- there’s an inferno ablaze.
Taxpayer-Funded NGO in NYC Accused of Bussing
‘Non-Citizens’ to No Kings Protest

Sierra Marlee
An undercover investigation by Muckraker uncovered that the No Kings protest wasn’t as grassroots as some would have you believe. The outlet is accusing Make the Road New York, an organization that has “received millions of dollars from the federal government,” of “mobilizing and busing non-citizens into Manhattan to join the recent No Kings protest.” The nearly 10-minute video dives into Make the Road New York and how an undercover journalist infiltrated one of its offices with a hidden camera. In one of the clips, an organizer seems to confirm that undocumented people are being included in the mobilization for these protests. “The majority of our members here are undocumented,” community organizer Angel Vera says, according to the undercover video.
‘No Kings,' eh? Where Were Those Protests

Ryan J. Rusak
It's heartening to see "No Kings" protests planned around the country to object to a president's sweeping changes to immigration policy without congressional approval. They must have missed it in 2012 when President Barack Obama created, out of nowhere, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, an action he took after stating publicly that he did not have the power to do so.

Emergency Motion: 'Time is of the essence'

The Trump administration filed an emergency motion to restore White House ballroom reconstruction, warning "time is of the essence" and saying President Donald Trump and his staff's "security and safety" are at risk by the judge's "untenable" ruling. "This order is untenable and must be stayed in that the building is under construction, with deep Top Secret excavations, foundations, and structures, already built, and ready to receive heavily fortified, for security reasons, steel, bullet, ballistic, and blast proof glass, and drone proof roofing materials, which must be finished quickly, and not allowed to be exposed to the conditions and elements of an open construction site," Friday night's motion urges.
Common Tax Mistakes That Cost Taxpayers More Money

Bait to Lure Illegal Alien Truck Drivers?

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) may have dropped off the radar a little bit after things settled down in Minneapolis, but a flurry of arrests just outside Pittsburgh suggests that ICE is as active as ever and addressing a problem that’s been a long time coming. ICE arrested a reported 13 people at a driver’s license center in a quiet, rural location 40 miles north of downtown Pittsburgh on April 3.

Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger (D.) and other local authorities are under fire over a recent string of very high profile and preventable crimes committed by illegal aliens in the sanctuary state. One of Spanberger’s first actions as governor was to sign an executive order barring state and local authorities from cooperating with federal authorities for federal immigration enforcement. Since then, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has pleaded with Spanberger and Fairfax County officials to stop releasing dangerous criminals back into the community without notifying ICE.

If nothing else, Christian charity alone requires us to assume that not every Democrat has lost his or her mind. Nonetheless, the Democratic Party’s leadership remains as contemptible and hypocritical as ever. For instance, in a clip posted to the social media platform X, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise stood on the House floor and read a decade-old quote from House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries in which Jeffries insisted that Republicans must vote to fund the Department of Homeland Security rather than “playing political games.”
Alberta Separatists Say They've Already

Two Alberta separatists say their group has collected enough signatures from citizens to trigger a referendum on the province separating from Canada. Mitch Sylvestre said the group, named Stay Free Alberta, has collected more than the approximate 178,000 required signatures. He also said volunteers who have been keeping tally as the signatures come in are expecting that number to grow. "We [have] more than the buffer that's required if [Elections Alberta] refuse signatures as well," Sylvestre said in a phone interview Tuesday.

Archaeologists have uncovered a one-of-a-kind artifact near the Sea of Galilee that may reveal new details about how early Christians practiced baptism.

The Media Missed the Most Basic Fact About Good Friday
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth leads the Pentagon, and the Air Force that serves underneath him sent an internal email to over 3,500 employees on Good Friday, reminding staff about the Good Friday service at the Pentagon Chapel. The memo stated that a Protestant service would take place, while adding in plain terms that there would be no Catholic Mass. A Pentagon spokesperson confirmed that the Protestant service stood as the only one scheduled that day. Wow! Did Hegseth step into it! He displayed an EPIC bias against the Catholic Church and members of the military who share that faith. What an incredible display of ignora… wait, wut? Ah, I hate to be the bearer of embarrassing news to those reports, but there IS NO Catholic Mass on Good Friday, because it stands as the holiest day in the Catholic Church. When priests don't consecrate new bread and wine, instead the Liturgy focuses on the Passion of the Christ, the veneration of the cross, and Communion from hosts consecrated the night before.
It's not a buried detail in theology books; it's a core practice known to Catholics around the world.
Idaho Dem’s Creepy Comment That School Kids
Belong to the State Should Make Parents’ Skin Crawl

An Idaho state Democrat lawmaker’s creepy comments about kids in school only confirm the worst suspicions about the nefarious intentions of leftists who have waged a relentless campaign to usurp parental rights. Evidently, it is the belief of Idaho Senator Janie Ward-Engelking that children are the property of the state once they are inside a classroom and in the clutches of far-left radicals who hide behind their educational credentials to poison vulnerable young minds. “When your children walk into our classroom, they become ours… those kids in that classroom, they’re ours. They’re ours, too,” she said.

She reported seeing movement beneath the blanket and believed he was touching [that's one word for it] himself. She confronted him. Robertson quickly closed the laptop and tried to hide it. She opened it and found thumbnail images, including one larger image showing multiple fully nude girls she estimated were between 7 and 10 years old.

Fortunately he was engaged by security and killed himself before he could harm anyone. In fact, the only person harmed in the attack was a security guard who was hit by the truck. It could have been a lot worse. At the time of the attack there more than 100 young children in the building.

How Math Can Kill You
Clarice Feldman
Pollster Mark Penn presents a “math camp” this week. It’s a refreshing response to offset the hysteria about the economic disruption of Iran’s “global terror network.” "We use 20 million barrels of oil a day. So if oil prices increased during the war to $110 a barrel that is an extra $1 billion a day in costs. So 60 or 90 days of conflict adds about 60 to 90 billion in costs in a 29 trillion dollar economy. About 70 per cent of that is domestically produced so 70 per cent of it stays in the U.S. economy. It just shifts from one sector to the other. In comparison, Trump took in 260 billion in tariff revenues last year and all of the fears of it were overblown as that amounted to only 1 per cent of the economy. The impact here of even a 4 or 6 month conflict (and there’s no indication it will go on that long) are much less than last year’s tariffs. Oil was over $100 for 3.5 years of Obama’s term without daily headlines.
Birthright Citizenship: The Deep Dive
John Hinderaker
One of the most important contemporary legal issues is the application of birthright citizenship to the children of illegal aliens. Liberals argue that the 14th Amendment makes anyone born in the territory of the U.S. an American citizen, with no exceptions. Except that there are, and always have been, exceptions. And the Supreme Court has never held that the 14th Amendment’s grant of citizenship applies to children of people who are here illegally. The issue is now squarely presented in the U.S. Supreme Court, in Trump v. Barbara. Oral arguments in the case will be held on Wednesday. The foremost proponent of the view (correct, I think) that the 14th Amendment does not make children of illegal aliens citizens is Ilan Wurman, law professor at the University of Minnesota.
Fraud Ring Used Fake Doctors’ Orders in $61.5M Medicare Scheme
A Texas man was sentenced Wednesday to over 12 years in prison and two years of supervised release for organizing and leading a $61.5 million health care fraud and wire fraud conspiracy in which thousands of Medicare beneficiaries who were the victims of deceptive telemarketing were sent thousands of orthotic braces, foot baths, and genetic tests they did not need. According to court documents and evidence presented at trial, Robert “Bobby” Leon Smith III, 50, of Archer City, Texas, owned and operated seven durable medical equipment supply companies based in Florida, Texas, and Maryland through which he submitted millions of dollars in false claims to Medicare for orthotic braces and foot baths that beneficiaries did not need.

A network of about 500 groups with an estimated $3 billion in combined annual revenues is behind the coordinated nationwide "No Kings" protest Saturday, including communist groups who are using the day to call for a "revolution," according to a Fox Digital News investigation. According to a copy of the permit for the "flagship" march in St. Paul, Minn., Indivisible, a national well-heeled Democratic political advocacy organization funded by billionaire George Soros, is the lead coordinator for the protest.

No Kings – Except for Hamas: The Growing Overlap
Between No Kings and Pro-Hamas Protests

Doug Ross
Since 2023, two massive waves of street protests have swept across America. The first came after Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, triggering pro-Islamic terror rallies on campuses and city streets nationwide. The second is the “No Kings” movement – huge anti-Trump demonstrations that have drawn millions of people since mid-2025. On the surface, these movements have different goals. But a closer look at the organizers, their funding networks, and the boots on the ground reveals that the same forces are behind both.

The legacy media can't help themselves. The moment America takes strong action against the Iranian regime, these dinosaur outlets dust off their old Vietnam playbook and start pushing the same tired narrative of doubt, failure, and inevitable defeat. They did it in the 1960s. Walter Cronkite went on the air and declared the Vietnam War a stalemate. That single broadcast helped turn public opinion and weaken the war effort. Now, that same crowd thinks they can pull the same stunt with President Donald Trump and the conflict with Iran.
Blue State Senator Admits How Democrats Prioritize Illegals
Connecticut Democrat Sen. Chris Murphy openly admitted that the people his party cares about “the most” are illegal aliens, in an interview clip from 2024 that resurfaced this week. Democrats have filibustered to prevent funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) over their objections to immigration enforcement operations, leading to a partial shutdown of the Cabinet department. The lawmakers are demanding new restrictions be placed on United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) after the fatal shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good in January during clashes with “rapid response groups” opposed to federal immigration enforcement operations.

In it, she happily admits that if she is commanded, as a member of the U.S. military, to fight other Muslims, she would disobey the orders. She makes this clear in the context of a discussion of the conflict with the Islamic Republic of Iran. Will the Army take action? Or would doing anything to call Brewer to account be “Islamophobic”?

Trump Allies, Possible Illegality

Newly released records in the Senate investigation into the weaponization of government raise questions about whether the FBI went on a fishing expedition targeting Trump advisors who were never charged with crimes and whether Special Counsel Jack Smith’s prior testimony to Congress was truthful. The documents were made public by Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, before a Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing into alleged abuses by the Biden-era FBI and Justice Department in their investigations into then ex-president Donald Trump before and during the 2024 presidential election during its probe code-named “Arctic Frost.”
Air Defense Destroyer: New SiAW U.S. Air Force Missile to
Fly from F-35, F-47 NGAD and New B-21 Raider Stealth Bomber

Reuben Johnson | 19FortyFive

Why, some are asking, is the USAF going full speed ahead – almost warp speed, said one commentator – in the procurement of a Stand-in Attack Weapons (SiAW) that is designed to take out air defenses and other A2AD capabilities. The answer is that there is an acknowledgement that neither Venezuela nor Iran falls into the category of “peer competitors” with Washington. Any efforts that those two nations had undertaken along those lines would pale in comparison to those of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and, to a lesser extent, the Russians.

Reports based on documents cited by NPR describe chronic clogs and vacuum failures in the ship’s Vacuum Collection, Holding and Transfer (VCHT) sewage system, allegedly driven by narrow piping and the demands of a roughly 4,600-sailor crew. Nevertheless the Navy presents a happy face saying the system is zoned, disruptions are isolated, and mission readiness has not been affected... Documents obtained by NPR and reported in an NPR essay state that there have been problems with the USS Ford’s Vacuum Collection, Holding and Transfer (VCHT) system – the ship’s main sewage and waste-handling network. The VCHT was admirably [pun intended] adopted to reduce water usage and improve sanitation compared with older gravity-based systems.

The EV Bubble Is About to Burst
Sydney Rodman
When did getting from point A to point B get so complicated? When the government decided which cars Americans should buy. With the economic and scientific premises behind electric vehicle (EV) mandates collapsing, the EV bubble may burst completely. There is one mandate left to burst: California’s Advanced Clean Cars II (ACC II) regulation, which requires all new vehicles to be 100 percent electric by 2035, or else automakers get penalized. With the federal repeal of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)’s Endangerment Finding in February, the government’s formal scientific basis for EV mandates is gone. State governments no longer have a rational scientific basis for requiring EV sales.

From the Green New Deal to Supporting the Ayatollah
John Sexton
You may have noticed by now that far-left progressives seem to shift their focus to something new every few months. You wouldn't necessarily think there was a direct path from support for the Green New Deal to chanting "Death to America" in Tehran, but for some young leftists one thing leads to another. Yesterday the Free Press published a lengthy story about the poster girl for this sort of left-wing extremism. Her name is Calla Walsh and a few years ago she was a well-regarded youth activist working on campaigns for national democrats.

This imam also called for a “new intifada.” “Thank you to the Islamic Center of Passaic County for welcoming me to join their celebration as the holy month of Ramadan comes to a close,” Sherrill wrote in a Facebook post with pictures of her in a headscarf visiting the mosque and meeting with Imam Mohammad Qatanani.

The Ukrainians cooked up a plot, likely with USAID contractors and USAID officials, to grant hundreds of millions of dollars to a "Green Energy" project in Ukraine, with 90% of the money funneled back into the Biden campaign and the DNC. Shocking, right? Who would have guessed that a green energy project in a war zone would be a scam, or that USAID would be involved in manipulating elections? Not me. I thought USAID was totally about saving children in Africa, and that Ukraine's biggest problem right now was an insufficient supply of solar panels and proper insulation in housing.

Natural Gas Prices in Texas Plunge Deep Into Negative Territory
and Producers Are Burning It Off,
While the Rest of the World Braces for Shortages

Jason Ma
Over the past week, spot prices at the Waha gas trading hub in the Permian Basin fell as low as -$9.75 per million British thermal units, with expectations that it could hit -$10 when pipeline capacity tightens as operators perform seasonal maintenance later this year, traders told Bloomberg. That’s because drilling in the prolific Permian Basin yields both oil and natural gas. But while an extensive network of pipelines exists to bring crude to market, there’s less infrastructure to transport natural gas, creating bottlenecks and localized surpluses. Since negative prices mean producers have to pay to someone to take the supply off their hands, excess natural gas is often burned off, and so-called flaring events this season are at five-year highs.
Justice Department Secures Denaturalization of
Convicted Gun Trafficker and Health Care Fraudster

The Justice Department announced Thursday that it has secured the denaturalization of two criminals "who obtained U.S. citizenship through fraud" and sued to revoke the citizenship of a third who carried out marriage fraud. Attorney General Pam Bondi said the actions "reflect this Department of Justice's ongoing efforts to strip citizenship from people who conceal crimes or defraud the American people during the immigration process." "American citizenship is a sacred privilege – not a cheap status that can be obtained dishonestly," she added.
Chicago Moves Toward Reparations with
Bus Tours and Town Halls As $150M Deficit Looms

Now, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson plans to hold a public engagement forum called Repair Chicago to "gather lived experiences of harm of Black Chicagoans" in an effort to provide reparations for Black residents. "Your experience is evidence, and we’ve placed it at the center of our work," Johnson said. "By engaging directly with residents, we are grounding this work in the voices and lived realities of the people it is meant to serve."
Trans Migrant Gets Just 6 Months Behind Bars in
Rape of 14-Year-Old Boy Inside NYC Bodega Bathroom

An illegal trans immigrant admitted Tuesday to molesting a 14-year-old boy inside the bathroom of a Manhattan bodega last year – but won’t have to do any more time behind bars. Nicol Alexandra Contreras-Suarez, a 31-year-old Colombian immigrant who was born male, pleaded guilty to second-degree rape in Manhattan Supreme Court for sexually assaulting the teen in East Harlem last year and was promised a sentence of just six months – which has already been served. That means the creep will be free to go at sentencing on April 27 – unless federal immigration agents are there to slap on the cuffs again to deport them.
NY AG Letitia James Referred Again for Criminal Prosecution for Alleged Homeowner Insurance Fraud
The director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) has again referred New York Attorney General Letitia James to the U.S. Department of Justice for criminal prosecution, proffering allegations that New York’s top cop may have falsified information on her homeowner’s insurance application. The FHFA Director William Pulte, who oversees Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, and the Federal Home Loan Banks, asked U.S. Attorneys in Florida and Illinois on Wednesday to “authenticate and investigate” the information, according to two letters reviewed by Just the News.
Virginia: Stealing an Election as We Watch
John A. Lucas
The Phony Moderate, Governor Abigail Spanberger, and her Democrat allies are trying to steal an election. But not just a single election. That would the child’s play. Their play is to rig the system to steal one election and then use it to scoop up other congressional seats. They hope to accomplish this by misrepresenting the nature of a Democrat-sponsored amendment to Virginia’s Constitution, all in the name of “fairness.” Phony Moderate Spanberger and her Democrat lieutenants in the General Assembly have come up with a new twist. They have been and are trying to rush through an amendment to the Virginia Constitution that likely will ensure that over 90% of Virginia’s congressional seats will go to Democrats, even though the Virginia is a “purple” state with roughly half of its voters casting their ballots for the GOP. Note that the sole question on the ballot in this special election is whether the Constitution of Virginia should be amended. The text of the amendment is not provided. The ballot includes only a description of its supposed purpose: "to allow the General Assembly to temporarily adopt new congressional districts to restore fairness in the upcoming elections …. Rubbish.
Spanberger to Biden: “You think you know how to steal an election? Hold my chablis, and watch what I can do.”
Fairfax County Protecting Illegal Immigrant
Charged with Groping at Least a Dozen Girls

Mary Rooke
Authorities charged an 18-year-old illegal immigrant from El Salvador named Israel Christopher Flores-Ortiz with nine counts of misdemeanor assault and battery March 7 after being enrolled at Fairfax High School in Fairfax County, Virginia. Flores-Ortiz entered the United States illegally in 2024 and was released under former President Joe Biden... Fairfax County Circuit Court Judge Dipti Pidikiti-Smith denied bail to Flores-Ortiz after reviewing surveillance video, citing public safety risks despite the local prosecutor not opposing his release. Yet because of the county’s policy [de facto sanctuary], if Ortiz ever walks free from custody, ICE cannot easily take him into federal custody for removal. He remains protected from deportation by local government decisions that prioritize non-cooperation over accountability.
Drones Swarm Nuclear Bomber Base,
Exposing Potential Threat to U.S. Aircrews

Barksdale Air Force Base (BAFB), a major U.S. strategic bomber installation in northwest Louisiana, has just experienced an unusually serious series of unauthorized drone incursions over its most sensitive areas. More than a dozen unsanctioned drones repeatedly swarmed a U.S. Air Force base that is home to a nuclear bomber fleet – and were able to resist efforts to bring them down via jamming technology, according to military officials.
Divinity School in Texas Seeks Prof to Teach Bible from
‘Queer’ and ‘Womanist’ Perspective

A divinity school affiliated with Texas Christian University wants to examine the Bible through a “queer” and “womanist” lens, according to a job opening. The Brite Divinity School is currently seeking a full-time professor in the “Hebrew Bible” who is knowledgeable about “gender and sexuality studies, womanist, feminist, queer, postcolonial, postmodern, and racial/cultural studies.” In addition to being able to “engage texts critically” through “hermeneutical approaches,” it also helps to not be a white male.

The Ohio State University is currently seeking a professor of “Philosophy of Race,” an area of expertise that includes “the epistemological significance of race or racism” and “race in the philosophy of science.” Its Department of Physics seeks a professor whose main focus is “issues relevant to educational equity.” And its Department of Anthropology recently sought an archaeologist whose work emphasizes “decolonization, feminist theory, queer theory, critical race theory, and/or Indigenous ontologies.”
Trump DOJ Cracks Down on States
Housing Biological Men in Women’s Prisons

The Justice Department opened an investigation into male inmates being placed in women’s prisons in California and Maine. The DOJ notified California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Maine Gov. Janet Mills, respectively, on Thursday about the pending probes, noting the danger to female inmates of potential sexual assault. California law allows male prisoners who identify as females to be incarcerated in women’s prisons under the state’s 2021 Transgender Respect, Agency, and Dignity Act.
International Olympic Committee Adopts New Policy on

The International Olympic Committee announced Thursday that it would restrict women’s sports to biological females, as determined by a genetic test. The policy will go into effect for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games onwards. The IOC adopted as the standard a test for the gene associated with the sex-determining region Y protein, also known as SRY. The SRY gene is responsible for the initiation of male sex determination.

The U.S.-Israeli Strategy Against Iran Is Working
Here Is Why

Muhanad Seloom | Al Jzeera
Two weeks into Operation Epic Fury, the dominant narrative has settled into a comfortable groove: The United States and Israel stumbled into a war without a plan. Iran is retaliating across the region. Oil prices are surging, and the world is facing another Middle Eastern quagmire. U.S. senators have called it a blunder. Cable news has tallied the crises. Commentators have warned of a long war. But this narrative is wrong. Not because the costs are imaginary, but because the critics are measuring the wrong things. They are cataloguing the price of the campaign while ignoring the strategic ledger.
Expect Chaos in Cuba
Armando Simon
The Communist dictatorship in Cuba is on its last legs. For decades, it had a parasitical relationship with the Soviet Union, which kept it alive economically, militarily, and politically. The Soviet Union was able to last for as long as it did because it was truly gargantuan, spanning two continents and filled with natural resources which the government utilized to stave off the inevitable end of all Marxist regimes. But when it, in turn, collapsed, Cuba’s economy took an even deeper dive than before, euphemistically referred to as the “Special Period.” Then, oil-rich Venezuela, became Communist and extended a lifeline to Cuba while it, too, oppressed its people and ruined the country. With the arrival of Donald Trump, that lifeline is now gone. Cuba has no oil and we can see what happens when fossil fuels disappear (paying attention, global warmists?).
Clinton Pollster Argues Trump ‘Entirely Justified’ Bashing
Media’s Iran Coverage: Many ‘Rooting for America to Lose’

Sean James
President Donald Trump’s complaints about how the media has covered the war in Iran are “entirely justified,” according to an op-ed published by Mark Penn – a former pollster for President Bill Clinton – and former New York City Council president Andrew Stein in the Wall Street Journal. Penn and Stein argued the mainstream press appears hellbent on painting Operation Epic Fury negatively, no matter how the war is actually going. Their Monday article – titled “On Iran, Is Only Bad News Fit to Print?” – said coverage of the war has gone far beyond merely being critical and instead reflects “reportorial partisanship and the Democrats’ determination” to oppose Trump at every turn.
CBS News' Margaret Brennan Accused of Mocking
People of Faith After Pete Hegseth's Prayer Remarks

CBS News’ "Face the Nation" moderator Margaret Brennan raised eyebrows on Thursday with a bizarre social media post that many believed was critical of people of faith. The saga began when Secretary of War Pete Hegseth spoke about Operation Epic Fury during a somber early morning press conference in which he vowed to "honor" the sacrifice of six U.S. service members killed in a plane crash last week... Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders responded, "Only in DC is something like this considered even remotely offensive." Rep. Brandon Gill added, "Democrats are reflexively repulsed when they hear someone invoke Christ’s name. What does that tell you?"
The Iran Dossier:
How Barack Obama Helped Build a Nuclear Terror State

Doug Ross
Between 2009 and 2024, a series of U.S. policy decisions funneled billions of dollars -- sometimes literally in pallets of cash -- toward Iran, the country the U.S. government has long called the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism. The is the timeline of those actions, the money trail, and the consequences that inevitably followed. The numbers are in the public record. All connections are drawn from congressional reports, investigative journalism, and on-the-ground events... The Iran nuclear deal became the defining foreign policy act of the Obama second term -- and the most controversial. Critics point to a Senate investigation that found administration officials pressured the U.S. Treasury to help Iran convert $5.7 billion through foreign banks. Then came $1.7 billion sent entirely in untraceable non-U.S. cash on cargo planes -- with $400 million delivered the same day Iran released American prisoners.

Chicago Residents Unionize to Fight Possible Displacement, Rent Hikes Over Obama Presidential Center
Obama Pres. CenterChicago residents in rent-controlled housing near a site being constructed to honor former President Barack Obama have reportedly unionized in response to the controversial project. Residents of a longtime Woodlawn apartment building organized to resist possible displacement and rent increases they say are being driven by development pressure surrounding the Obama Presidential Center. Tenants at the Chaney Braggs Apartments rallied earlier this month outside their building near 65th Street and Stony Island Avenue, saying a potential sale of the property could upend the lives of families who have lived there for decades.
John Fetterman Reveals Who's Really the Leader of His Party
Tyler Durden
Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) sat down for an interview on the "All-In Podcast" this week and made a telling admission about the Democratic Party. When co-host David Friedberg asked Fetterman point-blank, "Who do you think leads the Democratic Party today?" the Pennsylvania senator didn't flinch. "Oh, we don't have one," he said. "I think the TDS, that's the leader right now. You know, right now our party is governed by the TDS.”
Iran Is Losing the War It's Fighting.
It's Winning the One You're Reading About

Elder of Ziyon
Three weeks in, the U.S. military has struck more than 8,000 targets. Iran’s air defenses are almost completely destroyed, its command structure decimated, its proxy network in tatters. By any military measure, Iran is losing. And yet you wouldn’t know it from the coverage. The New York Times tells us Iran has “shown no sign of backing down.” The iWall Street Journal runs a sophisticated piece explaining why Tehran “believes it is winning.” CNN elevates a disgraced former official’s claim that Israel dragged America into war. The Associated Press makes that claim its headline. This is Iran’s cognitive war - and it is being fought largely with Western reporting, on Western platforms, by Western journalists.
Saudi Arabia Reserves Right to
Take Military Action Against Iran, Foreign Minister Says

Speaking to reporters following a meeting in Riyadh of foreign ministers from the region, Prince Faisal said that Iran “tries to pressure its neighbors” with attacks. “The kingdom is not going to succumb to pressure, and on the contrary, this pressure will backfire… and certainly, as we have stated quite clearly, we have reserved the right to take military actions if deemed necessary,” he said.
Did B-2s Just Drop GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrators
On Another Iranian Nuclear Site?

Satellite imagery from Vantor shows that a site long linked to Iran’s nuclear program has been struck. A trio of very large impact points also raises the possibility that the hardened facility was hit by 30,000-pound GBU-57/B Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) bunker buster bombs. MOPs were first used operationally in U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities last year, dubbed Operation Midnight Hammer. The Taleghan 2 site was newly encased in a concrete shell and then covered with soil in the months leading up to the current conflict, which may have created a need to use munitions more capable of burrowing down into it to have a better chance of ensuring its destruction.

Homer Simpson: "To alcohol! The cause of – and solution to – all of life’s problems." Speaking of which, there’s a certain phenomenon that alcoholics call a “moment of clarity.” It refers to the sudden realization that their drinking is out of control – and instead of being a harmless vice, they’re now suffering from a full-blown addiction. But “moments of clarity” can happen in the news business, too: It’s when the mainstream media realizes that they have completely – and embarrassingly – misjudged a political leader. After selling audiences one narrative, the anchors and pundits learn that the exact opposite was true.

Did John Thune get a clench in his noble behind when eye-patch-pretend-pirate-guy lost his primary? Added to Trump’s relentless pressure Thune has, grindingly, consented to refer the Save Act to a vote, possibly next week. Thune is, like most elected Republicans, pretendian MAGA counting the days when he can go back to playing defence and lining his pockets. The fact that voter fraud has deprived the Republicans of a clear unbreakable majority for THREE election cycles is clearly beyond him. He is functionally retarded. Or a shark committing treason... The guy is a sleazeball. 96% of his party want the Save Act.
The Political Left, Multiculturalism and
the Dark Alliance with Islam

Brandon Smith
For 15 years the FBI was engaged in a landmark investigation into the largest Islamic-based charity in the United States, called The Holy Land Foundation. The organization was operating as a front for Muslim terror groups, funneling cash from western countries to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, until they were finally put on trial in 2008. Among the documents seized from these individuals during the investigation was a strategic paper drafted by senior Muslim Brotherhood operative Mohamed Akram in 1991. The memorandum gave detailed methods for establishing Islam as a “civilization alternative” in the West and a “grand Jihad” for eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within. The plan explicitly referred to using western society’s own people, institutions, laws, and unwitting allies (progressive groups and NGOs, media, politicians, academics, or civil-rights organizations) to advance the Islamic agenda.

Iran Security Chief Had a $10 Million Bounty on His Head,
but Israel 'Did It for Free'

Catherine Salgado
The Iranian Islamic regime security chief eliminated in an Israeli strike had a huge U.S. bounty on his head, but as Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs Gideon Sa’ar said, “We did it for free.” This is yet another reason Israel is by far the best ally of the United States. Not only do they engage in a lot of the heavy lifting when it comes to conflicts, which is not true of any of our other allies (especially useless, whiny NATO), but they also always talk as if it is an honor to do us favors.
SPECIAL COVERAGE — A-10 Thunderbolt II – A-10 Warthog

A-10 Warthogs Target Iranian Fast-Attack Craft in Strait of Hormuz
U.S. Air Force A-10 Thunderbolt II attack aircraft are now engaged in maritime interdiction operations along the southern flank of Operation Epic Fury, targeting Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps fast-attack watercraft in the Strait of Hormuz, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said Thursday. “The A-10 Warthog is now engaged across the southern flank, targeting fast-attack watercraft in the Strait of Hormuz,” Air Force Gen. Dan Caine said during a Pentagon briefing on the operation. “The A-10 Thunderbolt II can loiter for hours, standing by and ready to execute a mission whenever needed,” CENTCOM said in the accompanying post on X.

The A-10 Warthog:
Why the Air Force Can't Retire Its Toughest Plane

A-10 coming at youHere is a puzzle worth sitting with: the United States Air Force, the most powerful air arm in human history, has spent more than thirty years trying to get rid of one of its own aircraft. Not because it does not work. Because it works too well at something the Air Force would rather not be doing. The A-10 Thunderbolt II, universally known as the Warthog, first flew on May 10, 1972. It entered operational service in 1977. Per the Air Force's official A-10 fact sheet, the aircraft was designed for a single mission: destroying Soviet tanks pouring through the Fulda Gap in a European ground war. That war never happened. By most institutional logic, the A-10 should have been retired when the Cold War ended. Instead, it kept finding new wars to fight and new reasons to stick around.

However, one interesting A-10 fact is that the nickname “Warthog” is so popular and well loved that it appears in official documents. This is a beloved airframe: a robust ground attack aircraft proven time and again in battle. And the stories behind it are just as interesting as its combat record.

A-10 Warthogs Are Prowling for Iranian Boats
in the Strait of Hormuz

Venerable A-10 Warthog attack jets are helping dismantle Iran’s Navy. Though the A-10 is most commonly associated with missions over land, the jets have a long-standing, if often obscure, maritime role. Moreover, Warthog pilots have been training for decades for the specific scenario of hunting Iran’s fleets of fast boats in and around the highly strategic Strait of Hormuz. All of this comes as the U.S. military works to find ways to reopen the critical waterway to normal maritime commerce, which has ground to a virtual halt in the face of Iranian attacks on shipping and its declaration that the strait is closed.

Congress Zeroes in on Pilots from
‘Foreign Adversary’ Nations Training in U.S.

The U.S. Senate is raising fresh concerns about Chinese pilots training in U.S. flight schools as potential national security risks and an avenue for an adversary’s military to gain vital insights into U.S. aviation practices. In a letter this month, Senator Jim Banks, R-Ind., who sits on the Armed Services Committee, asked the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to revise its guidelines to exclude any prospective pilots from “foreign adversary nations” from studying in American flight schools.
They Blamed Georgia’s Pro-Life Law Again.
The Facts Say Otherwise.

Chris Queen
You may remember the story from the late summer of 2024 about a woman in Georgia who died as a result of taking the Mifepristone abortion pill regimen. The liberal media couldn’t wait to falsely blame Thurman’s death on Georgia’s pro-life LIFE Act, which outlaws abortion after professionals can detect a baby’s heartbeat in the womb. Here’s what I wrote about that story: "Several of these abortion lies have dovetailed in a report from the left-wing outlet ProPublica, which gives a false account of the story of Amber Thurman, a 28-year-old woman who died in Georgia after taking the abortion pill regimen. ProPublica begins its lies right out of the gate in the third paragraph of its story."
Wanted: Magic Batteries
John Hinderaker
Wind and solar are intermittent energy sources, dependent on the weather. Where I live, solar panels produce electricity around 14% of the time. Wind turbines produce electricity less than half the time. So how can these be viable sources of energy? That is, primary sources on which an economy can depend for baseload power, not expensive and irrelevant add-ons. The answer from liberals is always “batteries.” Batteries will store electricity during the relatively unusual times when electricity is being produced, and then dispense it 24/7. So, can we see one of these giant batteries? No, they don’t actually exist. They are purely hypothetical. And extremely dangerous!

Solar Scattered, Coal Still Standing – What an Indiana Tornado
Revealed About the Cost of Fragile Power

Energy Bad Boys and Mitch Rolling
On Tuesday, March 10th, an EF-1 tornado destroyed the Dunns Bridge Solar I and II facilities owned by the Northern Indiana Public Service Company (NIPSCO). The facilities, located outside of Wheatfield, Indiana, had 2.4 million solar panels, totaling 700 megawatts (MW) of power capacity, and reportedly cost $1 billion to construct – a little over $1,400 per kilowatt (kW). While the solar panels were damaged by the tornado, we are not aware of any reports of damage at the nearby R.M. Schahfer Generating Station, a 950 MW coal facility that NIPSCO was planning to retire at the end of 2025. However, it is still running thanks to a 202(C) order issued by the U.S. Department of Energy requiring the plant to continue operations. [See map. Look how close undamaged coal plant is to the solar farm!]

NASA's Artemis Moon Mission Is Flirting with Disaster

At one level, that isn’t very impressive: Artemis is just replicating the Apollo 8 circumlunar mission, almost 60 years later... Artemis aims to be all these things, but mostly it’s recapturing Apollo’s “very risky” side. Ironically that’s not because it uses cutting-edge technology, but because it uses 50-year-old technology.

Georgia 2020 Election Fraud Investigation

Matt Margolis
If you thought the effort to get to the bottom of the 2020 election fraud wouldn’t meet resistance, you were sorely mistaken. Nearly 100 boxes of 2020 election materials are unaccounted for in Fulton County, and the people who should have answers are doing everything they can to avoid giving them. Here's what we know. On January 28, the FBI raided the Fulton County Elections Hub and Operations Center, hauling out ballots, tabulator tapes, and ballot images from the 2020 recount. By the bureau’s count, they left with 656 boxes. While that’s a lot of boxes, it’s a lot lower than the 750 boxes county officials had previously claimed existed.

Swalwell “Nannygate” Explodes: DHS and FEC Complaints Allege Illegal Alien Employment and Misuse of Campaign Funds for Childcare
Joel Gilbert
Amanda BarbosaOn February 16, 2026, I filed two well-documented federal complaints against Congressman Eric Swalwell, one with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS/ICE), and another with the Federal Election Commission (FEC). Together, these filings raise serious questions about whether Swalwell engaged in illegal patterns of conduct that reflect his disregard for federal law and a potential abuse of campaign funds for personal benefit. At issue are two distinct but closely related allegations: first, that Swalwell continued employing a foreign national nanny illegally for two years after her legal work authorization expired; and second, that he illegally used campaign funds to cover what appear to be ongoing personal childcare expenses totaling more than $300,000.
Gavin Newsom's California Doesn't Really Exist
Stephen Kruiser
California Gov. Gavin Newsom may be the chief executive of the nation's most populous state, but he approaches that as if it were a distracting day job. For the last couple of years, Newsom has fancied himself a podcaster and social media influencer. All of that is being done in the service of his eventual 2028 presidential run, his ambitions for which are the worst-kept secret in American politics. As far as Gavin Newsom is aware, he is the most popular boy in school. In California politics, Democrats don't actually have to be good at politics; they just have to meet the right money people early on. If, like Newsom and former Vice President Kamala Harris, they start in the Bay Area, they're on a fast track. California is a massive blue echo chamber, so Newsom never comes within a mile of realistic or negative feedback.

California is going nowhere, fast. It isn’t even a figure of speech anymore. We are $13 billion dollars into a high speed train from Los Angeles to San Francisco. As of this moment it goes…nowhere. Not an inch. Not a stitch of high-speed rail has been laid. What was once projected to be a $33 billion dollar project that would be operational by 2020 is now projected to cost about $128 billion, becoming operational in 2032…but only between Merced and Bakersfield. If you don’t know where those places are or why people would need high-speed rail to get between them…exactly. It is a scam on par with Boston’s notorious Big Dig, but until recently it was a singular scam.
