“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.”
—Ludwig von Mises, Socialism: An Economic and Sociological Analysis, p. 38 (1922)

“Just because you do not take an interest in politics
doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you.”
—Pericles, Greek statesman, 495–429 BC

individual freedom as the striving after this mirage of social justice.”

Truth is always stranger than fiction because fiction has to make sense.
— Mark Twain

The most costly of all follies is to believe passionately in the palpably not true.
— H. L. Mencken

"Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and, if true, of infinite importance.
The one thing it cannot be is moderately important." — C.S. Lewis

To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil,
and in some small way to become evil oneself. —Theodore Dalrymple

"Economic power is exercised by means of a positive, by offering men a reward,
an incentive, a payment, a value; political power is exercised by means of a negative,
by the threat of punishment, injury, imprisonment, destruction.
The businessman's tool is values; the bureaucrat's tool is fear."
—Novelist and philosopher Ayn Rand

Mr. President, Give the Iranian Regime Nothing
I & I Editorial Board
If President Donald Trump is considering handing over billions to the terrorists of Tehran and leaving them in control of the Strait of Hormuz, as some news dispatches have indicated, he will have committed a blunder. The only choice they should be offered is to give up everything or lose it all to the almighty forces of the U.S. and Israeli militaries. If not, the Iranian threat will never be eliminated, only weakened for a time before returning to its demonic affairs, leaving a mess for someone else to clean up. Because Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had the courage to do what should have been done more than 45 years ago, the regime is staggering, and no lifeline should be tossed its way.

Where Are the Moderate Muslims?
David Strom
It's not exactly true that no moderate Muslims stand up against the calls to terror and radicalism of the extremists. The UAE, for instance, will no longer fund students to study in London out of fear that the students will come back radicalized. But they are particularly rare, and especially so in Western countries, where most Muslims remain silent about the radicals, and where an awful lot of the worst extremists are quite open about their plans to bring down Western societies and Islamize them. The Palestinians, who are the new hot group of "victims" in the West, are notably excluded from settling in Muslim countries, which want nothing to do with them.

Should U.S. ‘Go for Iran’s Jugular’ Instead of Seeking End to Conflict? Texas Hughes Iran is a theocratic monarchy controlled by a single Islamic mullah, titled ayatollah. There are also 80+ other high mullahs who elect that leader, though they basically select a son of the previous ayatollah. Iran’s center of gravity is the ayatollah and the higher level mullahs, plus all the other Iranian mullahs to a lesser degree. Shia Islam is a hostile, brutal, fanatic version of Islam that sees any and all methods of conquering humanity as tools to achieve Allah’s will. Iran’s terrorist tactics and zeal for nuclear bombs on their missiles is obedience to Allah’s will. Therefore, we must inflict a horrific, humiliating defeat on Iran’s mullahs to end, for hopefully many decades, their power in Iran.
Radical Terrorist Gets BRUTAL Sentence – Jaw-Dropping Death Toll Revealed – Dems, Media Look the Other Way Wyatt Porter A far-left terrorist has been handed a 13-year prison sentence, but the real shock comes from what prosecutors are preparing next. This radical extremist is now facing additional charges tied to a staggering body count that the liberal media won’t touch... The convicted terrorist was part of an organized network that waged what they openly called “urban guerrilla warfare” against law-abiding Americans... Prosecutors are now building cases that connect this extremist to 34 deaths. That’s right – 34 American lives lost because radicals decided their political agenda justified murder.
Report: Terrorist Aimed to Kill Ivanka Trump to Avenge Soleimani's Death An alleged terrorist trained by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) targeted first daughter Ivanka Trump for assassination to avenge the killing of Iranian military chief Qasem Soleimani, the would-be assassin’s mentor, ordered by President Donald Trump. The New York Post reported that recently arrested Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi, 32, had made a “pledge” to kill the president’s oldest daughter and even had a blueprint of her Florida home.
Biden Administration Misused Funds to Pay for Anti-Israel Protests and Terrorist-Linked NGOs The House Judiciary Committee released a memo on Friday that details what it says is a pattern of neglect and abuse of taxpayer funds during the Biden administration. These funds, according to the memo, went directly and indirectly to anti-Israel protests and terrorist-linked NGOs. The funds were disbursed through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the State Department and other federal agencies.
Democrats' Radicalism Is Their Biggest Problem Michael Goodwin The release by Democrats of their party’s so-called autopsy on the 2024 election is deservedly getting trashed for being late, superficial and scattershot. It’s so bad that beleaguered party boss Ken Martin tried to keep it secret by saying it was just a draft written by a part-time volunteer. Given the shockingly thin research and the lack of a coherent overarching analysis, his reluctance to go public makes sense, although there wasn’t a snowball’s chance in hell that he could hide it.
Jeff Bezos Criticizes NYC Mayor Mamdani Over $44 Billion School Budget Cole Harrison Amazon tycoon Jeff Bezos blasted New York City’s socialist mayor Zohran Mamdani on Wednesday, saying that if the corporate giant operated like the Big Apple’s broken public school system, customers wouldn’t see their packages for well over a month. In a scathing televised sit-down on CNBC, the high-flying billionaire unloaded on Mamdani over a record-breaking $44 billion education budget that has yielded nothing but abysmal returns. Bezos slammed the city for blowing an astronomical $44,000 annually per student – outspending rivals like Los Angeles and Chicago by roughly 30% – even as student numbers plunge and exam performance craters.
Antisemitism: Spare Us the Selective Outrage Victor Davis Hanson Since October 7, we have been lectured nonstop about the supposedly singular sins of Israel. The campuses, the left-wing media, and the new Democratic Socialist officials, both federal and state, following the cue of student activists and professors from the Middle East, have painted Israel and their Jewish supporters as Nazis, fascists, and among the worst murderers in today’s bloody world. This is nonsensical. The medieval-style massacre of 1,200 Jews in their homes on October 7, during a time of peace, should have increased awareness of the existential dangers Israel faced. Instead, it spawned a gathering storm of antisemitism.
YES! Another One! Virginia Bus Crash That Killed Five Involved Driver Who Doesn't Speak English, Sean Duffy says The driver of a bus involved in a deadly Virginia crash that killed five people doesn't speak English, authorities said, according to U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy who called it "unacceptable." Five people were killed and dozens were injured when the driver of an E&P Travel bus heading from New York to North Carolina failed to slow down near a work zone and slammed into several cars on Interstate 95 in Stafford County, the Virginia State Police said. At least 44 others were taken to hospitals, including three in critical condition, police said.	How many dead and mutilated victims will be enough for the Democrats?
U.S. Attorney in Miami Sends ‘Message’ to Deep State with Indictment Against Ex-Prosecutor It was Jason Reding Quinones’ request for an indictment against one of his own former federal prosecutors for trying to steal a sealed, classified report from Jack Smith’s investigation of President Donald Trump that may have sent the loudest shockwaves through government. The charges against former Assistant U.S. Attorney Carmen Mercedes Lineberger carry more than 20 years in prison, and put on notice the current and former FBI agents, intelligence community spies and prosecutors whose conduct is currently being examined by a grand jury in Fort Pierce, Fla.
Florida Governor DeSantis Calls for Special Session to Eliminate Property Tax for Homeowners The Republican governor revealed his plans to sign a proclamation that would require state lawmakers to convene in Tallahassee and discuss his “Save Our Homes” proposal starting on June 1. “Taxing something that you own repeatedly, which is a property tax, is the worst way to do taxation,” DeSantis said in a news conference on May 27. “You pay all these taxes to acquire that property, and then year after year, you’re just having to write a check just for the privilege of being able to maintain ownership of something that is supposedly yours,” he said.
SCOTUS Flooded with Briefs Critical of Colorado Climate Suit, Signaling High Stakes Battle Ahead The high court is focused on one lawsuit out of Boulder, Colorado, but there are dozens of similar lawsuits across the states that seek to extract billions of dollars from oil and gas companies. If these settlements come down against the companies, those billions of dollars will be passed onto consumers. Last week, 78 members of Congress, 27 state attorneys general, some Colorado counties, Native American tribes, industry groups and legal and policy organizations filed briefs in support of the oil and gas companies targeted in Boulder’s lawsuit.
The Iran War Sounds the Death Knell of EVs I & I Editorial Board You’d think that the Iran war would have been good news for EV sales, given the boost in gasoline prices and general uncertainty it sparked. Instead, it might someday mark the beginning of the end of the left’s EV dreams. More people are searching for EVs, and fewer are buying them. That’s not exactly something you’d want to put in a promotional campaign... [H]ere’s the really juicy tidbit. The New Car Dealers Association reports that registrations of new EVs in California in the first quarter of this year were 40% below Q1 2025. This is the state that has done the most to force people into electric cars, including having gasoline prices that are currently above $6 a gallon.	In addition federal taxpayer subsidies ended in September.
Delaney Hall ICE Detainees Food Options: "Fajitas, stir-fry, BBQ chicken" ‘Higher Standards Than Provided to Most U.S. Prisons Criminal illegal migrants held at New Jersey’s Delaney Hall ICE facility are served everything from fajitas to barbecue chicken, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) revealed Friday amid raucous protests outside the detention center over the alleged poor treatment of detainees. Demonstrators and top Garden State Democrats have demanded that DHS shutdown the privately-operated facility in Newark amid reports of inhumane conditions and bad quality food inside the 1,000 beds detention center that is currently housing about 300 migrants.
Proponents of California’s Wealth Tax Unintentionally Make the Case Against It Jared Walczak If the goal of the California wealth tax is to reduce the state’s wealth, the ballot initiative’s proponents might be achieving their aims before the measure even appears on the ballot. In a new paper making the case for the one-time 5 percent tax, Emmanuel Saez and his Berkeley colleague Gabriel Zucman – the godfather of the modern wealth-tax movement – insist that critics are exaggerating the risk that billionaires will leave the state and thereby decimate its tax base. Yet virtually every page of their paper offers a new reason for billionaires to flee.
Secret Plot by Billionaires to Influence LA's City Elections Revealed Los Angeles’ capitalist-hating socialist candidates are having vast sums of cash funneled into their campaigns – from the very billionaires they openly despise. Example: Records show lefty City Attorney candidate Marissa Roy has had a staggering $1.4 million from billionaire-backed super PACs pumped into her campaign to turn the DA’s office into a the biggest “public interest law firm” in Los Angeles – focusing on civil rights, corporate accountability and treating criminals with mental health and addiction diversion programs rather than prison.
Gavin Newsom's Outrageous $20M Plan to Honor California's Governors Just Months Before He Leaves Office Gavin Newsom has quietly introduced a navel-gazing proposal to honor California’s living governors just months before he becomes one himself – a move that’s grossing out his follow Democrats. Newsom’s bizarre proposal to spend $20 million of taxpayer’s money creating a “Governors’ Legacies” fund for California’s living former leaders has enraged his party’s lawmakers, as it comes as the state grapples with a record deficit, soaring gas and health care costs, and a homelessness crisis.	Gov Bill Clinton was 'Slick Willie' I guess Newsom is 'Greasy Gavin'
France’s Charles de Gaulle Aircraft Carrier vs. the Nimitz-Class: Which Nuclear Supercarrier Rules the Waves? 19fortyfive France’s Charles de Gaulle (R91) is the only nuclear-powered aircraft carrier outside the U.S. fleet – half the size of a Nimitz-class but built around the same CATOBAR catapults and arresting gear. The CDG’s Landing Signal Officers train for two years in the United States. In 2025, during the CDG’s first Pacific deployment, U.S. F/A-18 Super Hornets from the USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70) and French Rafale-Ms from the Charles de Gaulle conducted cross-deck landings.
Marine Vet Prosecutor Refuses to Cross Constitutional Line on Spanberger ‘Assault Weapon' Ban Ryan Mehaffey, a Marine veteran and Virginia prosecutor, is taking a hard-line stance against what he believes is an "unconstitutional" new gun ban signed by Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger. According to Mehaffey, the Second Amendment is not just an assurance of personal freedoms, but also a safeguard for a community’s ability to defend itself through a "well-regulated militia." "Our founders were careful to make sure when they drafted our founding document, that the ultimate right of the people was preserved to defend themselves and to defend their community," he explained. "So, the linchpin of the constitutional analysis is going to be does this instrument have some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a regulated militia."
Purple Heart Veteran Challenges Democratic Leaders Over Senate Candidate’s Mockery of Combat Survival Here’s what makes this story cut deeper than your average campaign scandal. Purple Heart recipient Ted Daniels isn’t asking for an apology. He says it wouldn’t be genuine – and let’s be honest, he’s right. What he wants instead is something far more uncomfortable for the Democratic establishment. From the New York Post: "What I’d really like is for Elizabeth Warren, Chuck Schumer, Bernie Sanders, Hakeem Jeffries, and everybody else on the far left to tell my children to their face that they are endorsing and supporting a man who said that their father should not have lived. Cheering on the death of their father." That’s a father asking a simple, devastating question. And so far? Not a single one of those leaders has answered it.
'American Sniper' Widow Taya Kyle Torches Graham Platner Over 'Cowardly' Comments Trashing Late Husband "American Sniper" widow Taya Kyle shredded Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner's "cowardly" comments, calling out the progressive Democrat for alleging her late husband inflated his kill numbers by shooting innocent civilians. "Nothing says, I want attention more than disparaging a national hero who's also dead..." Kyle responded on "The Sunday Briefing." "It is cowardly, it's lowbrow to lie about somebody else, and it distracts from what you've probably said…"
Stabbing Victim Bleeds to Death After English Cops Cuff Him and Attacker Falsely Claims Racial Assault English police are facing mounting scrutiny after officers handcuffed an 18-year-old university student as he bled to death following a fatal stabbing, allegedly after believing the attacker’s false claim that he had been the victim of a racist assault. The case has sparked outrage across Britain, fueled political debate over policing and prompted calls for the release of body-worn camera footage from the responding officers. "The killing of Henry Nowak shows how far the rot of political correctness has set into the British policing mentality," Alan Mendoza said.
Franklin Graham, Others Blast Talarico for Claiming 'Bible is silent' on Abortion: 'An Absolute Lie' Graham was among the many who responded by rebuking Talarico's assertion that the Bible has nothing to say on the issue of killing the unborn. "The Word of God tells us we are created in the image of God and consistently underscores the value of human life. Jeremiah 1:5 says, 'Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart...' In 2021, this same Democratic candidate opposed a bill to ban men from women's sports, saying that 'God is non-binary.' Don't be deceived by wicked politicians spouting lies like this," he added.
Christian Lifeguard Who Refused Pride Flag Duties and Was Suspended Is Now Headed Toward Trial Captain Jeffrey Little, a veteran of more than 20 years in the L.A. County Fire Department's Lifeguard Division, sued Los Angeles County and several fire department supervisors in 2024 after the county adopted a policy in 2023 requiring the Progress Pride flag be flown at county facilities throughout June to honor LGBTQ Pride month. Little, a devout Christian, argued the policy conflicted with his religious beliefs about marriage and sexuality and sought a religious accommodation exempting him from personally raising the flag or ensuring subordinates raised it. Little said the county initially granted this accommodation before revoking it just two days later.	“This was hostility to religion, plain and simple.”
By Its Own Admission, Yale Med School Illegally Discriminates Against White, Asian Applicants Jay Greene and Ian Kingsbury As Yale celebrated its 325th commencement last week, the institution’s medical school faced new scrutiny for alleged racial discrimination in admissions. The Department of Justice sent a letter to Yale School of Medicine on May 14 notifying it that “the Department finds that Yale continues to intentionally discriminate against applicants based on their race.” That letter presents evidence that black and Hispanic students were significantly more likely to be admitted than white and Asian students with the same MCAT scores and grade point averages, an outcome that “cannot be explained by a coincidence.”
UCLA Must Be Held Accountable for Antisemitism and Violating Free Speech CA Post Editorial Board UCLA is facing a fresh lawsuit from the U.S. Department of Justice over antisemitism – this time, for creating a “hostile educational environment.” That’s one way to describe the mob of thugs who took over campus in 2024 and blocked Jewish students from reaching their classes or dorms unless they renounced “Zionism.” The fact is that UCLA was indifferent, at best, to the outrageous behavior of the activists in the anti-Israel “encampment.”
The Ongoing Legal Battles in Teen Transgender Cases Stacy Robinson Accounts such as Lyaschenko’s are surfacing in legal battles across the nation, pitting states against parents and parents against courts or each other. On April 2, Lyaschenko testified in New Hampshire, where the legislature was considering a bill that would ban Child Protective Services from removing minors from parental custody solely because they wouldn’t support so-called gender transitions. New Hampshire is not the only state considering such laws. A similar bill is working its way through the Ohio Legislature, after reports that Cuyahoga County was implementing a program tracking the sexual and gender identity of children as young as 5. The issue may also come before the Supreme Court.
Pam Bondi Battling Cancer After DOJ Exit Former Attorney General Pam Bondi reportedly was diagnosed with thyroid cancer shortly after leaving the Department of Justice, according to reports Tuesday. Bondi, 60, has since undergone treatment and is recovering, Axios reported, citing a source familiar with the situation. Most thyroid cancers are highly treatable, with the Cleveland Clinic reporting a five-year survival rate of more than 98%.

Self-Sabotage? Controversial Candidates Could Risk Dem Midterm Advantage Steven Richards Polls show that Democrats have an advantage heading into the midterm elections, spurred by the president's high disapproval rating and frustration with the Republican Party, but there is a risk. Some Democratic candidates cannot stop saying controversial things that voters may consider beyond the fringe... Yet, instead of capitalizing on this massive advantage, the party is struggling to maintain discipline, with a series of controversial candidates, shocking comments, and integrity questions threatening to undermine their momentum. One of the most extreme examples of this trend is in Texas, where a Democratic House candidate says she wants to imprison “American Zionists” in a repurposed immigration center.
MAGA Voters Trigger Anti-Incumbent Earthquake, and It's Little Wonder Why David Marcus Over the past several days, two Republican thorns in President Donald Trump’s side, in the form of Sen. Bill Cassidy, of Louisiana, and Rep. Thomas Massie, of Kentucky, have been ousted in their primaries by GOP voters and by very healthy margins. But this is about much more than Trump. All over the country, the animating issue for most Republican voters I talk to is rather simple. They say, "We gave the party the House, the Senate, and the White House, so why can’t popular legislation like the Save America Act, pass?" In other words, what is the point of electing Republicans if they won’t do anything?
America's Elites Don't Trust Voters. That's the Real Crisis Scott W. Rasmussen What would you want to happen if your preferred candidate lost a close election, but their campaign believed it could cheat its way to victory? Like the overwhelming majority of Americans, you’d likely accept the results. A survey conducted by the Napolitan Institute, which I founded, revealed that just 7% of voters would want their side to cheat to win. That number is hardly encouraging, but it remains a fringe view. Among a group we identify as the "Elite One Percent," however, 35% would rather see their team cheat than lose. This highly influential class is defined by postgraduate degrees, incomes above $150,000 and residence in densely populated urban areas.
Willingness to Circumvent Will of Voters, Even by Cheating, Most Pervasive Among Dem Elites Just the News staff In the wake of several close elections and a few Republican upsets, Democratic Party elites are increasingly embracing rhetoric that suggests a growing contempt for the will of the voters and an eagerness to circumvent the democratic process to beat the opposition party. The redistricting wars have resulted in Republicans gaining a modest advantage in the upcoming race for control of the House, and legal setbacks to Democratic countermeasures have resulted in pivotal political leaders voicing their frustrations in increasingly provocative ways.
Left’s Election Fraud Denials Crumble As DOJ Exposes Two-Decade-Long California Cheating Scheme Despite evidence to the contrary, liberal voting activists have spent years minimizing cheating concerns and portraying those who want to investigate such problems as “election deniers.” But the Justice Department, FBI and Homeland Security are now systematically exposing electoral fraud from noncitizen voting to ballot-box-stuffing schemes that are turning the table in epic fashion. The latest strike came Monday when a longtime voting activist in California reached a deal with federal prosecutors to admit to illegally paying homeless people to sign election petitions and paying people to register to vote in a two-decade scheme …
Democrat Candidate Drops Out of Race After He's Caught Red-Handed on Camera Home security cameras have become the great equalizers of our age. Max Morley, a former public school teacher and Kentucky Education Association union board member – you know, the kind of résumé that’s supposed to signal integrity – was door-knocking in the district when he approached one voter’s home. He rang the bell, knocked, waited. And then he reached into the mailbox to remove his opponent’s campaign flyer. The homeowner’s security camera captured every frame.	He must have read the article above and think he is elite!
Jeffries Tries to Define What Is/Is Not Acceptable anti-Semitism in Democrat Party Darleen Click Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries suddenly realizes that all the open flirting with anti-Semitism that the Left has engaged with the past 15 or so years may have crossed a line with a certain Texas Democrat. He is spinning excuses like Hunter Biden trying to avoid child support. And, of course, blame it all on the Republicans … Jeffries never names the candidate nor the party she’s a part of. If you’ve been reading along, you know Victory Girls introduced you to the lovely Maureen Galindo on May 20th.	Why is any un-acceptable for the party of the KKK?
Platner Doesn't Apologize to Purple Heart Recipient, Voters When Confronted on Post Mocking Soldier Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner declined to apologize both to voters and a Purple Heart recipient when asked by Fox News Digital about a deleted Reddit post where he said the wounded soldier "didn’t deserve to live." Platner did not respond at first when asked outside a market near his home whether he regrets making the post, which Fox News Digital reported earlier this week showed him mocking a video of Pfc. Ted Daniels taken during a clash with Taliban fighters in 2012 that ended in Daniels being shot four times and being awarded a Purple Heart.	Maine Democrats stand behind Platner
Surprise Arrest During Trump's Border Crackdown Opens Door to Cuba-Shaking Raul Castro Indictment A few weeks into President Donald Trump's second term, his crackdown on illegal immigration netted an unexpected yield: a former Cuban fighter pilot who had been allowed into the United States under President Joe Biden and was trying to get permanent residency... For 30 years, Cuban exiles in America and their representatives in Congress, like Reps. Mario Diaz-Balart and Carlos Gimenez, R-Fla., have pressured DOJ to seek charges such as conspiracy to kill Americans, destruction of aircraft, and murder against the 94-year-old Castro, his late brother Fidel, and others in connection with the shooting down of the Hermanos a la Rescate ("Brothers to the Rescue") humanitarian aircraft in 1996, which killed three American citizens and one legal permanent U.S. resident. Prosecutors and FBI agents for years demurred because they lacked key evidence or access to conspirators, and eventually, Fidel Castro, the island’s communist revolutionary leader who was given a great deal of leeway by Obama and Biden, died. DOJ Indicts Raul Castro in Connection to 1996 Attack on Aircraft in Which 3 U.S. Citizens Were Killed Jerry Dunleavy The unsealed indictment against Raul -- the second revolutionary leader of Communist Cuba following the stepping down and then death of his brother Fidel -- was obtained in April but made public Wednesday after the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of Florida charged him and other co-conspirators in connection with the attack. The charges include conspiracy to kill U.S. nationals, the destruction of aircraft and four counts of murder. The aircraft were humanitarian supply-and-rescue planes flown by Brothers to the Rescue (BTTR) over international waters near Cuba.
Left’s DISGUSTING Attack on Resigning Trump Official Exposes Their True Character Wyatt Porter Democrats and their media allies are catching heat for their shameful response to Tulsi Gabbard’s resignation as Director of National Intelligence. The former congresswoman and combat veteran stepped down to care for her husband, Abraham, who was just diagnosed with an extremely rare form of bone cancer. Instead of showing an ounce of compassion, leftist politicians and cable news pundits immediately attacked her. Tony Kinnett, national correspondent for The Daily Signal, didn’t mince words when he appeared on Fox & Friends Weekend.
MSNBC Panel Accidentally Discovers The Declaration of Independence on Live TV In what may be the most MSNBC moment ever committed on live television, a panel recently found itself spiraling over Speaker Mike Johnson declaring that our rights do not come from government but from God. Katy Tur asked, with apparent sincerity, whether Johnson was somehow "putting God above the Declaration of Independence." Imagine accidentally discovering the premise of the Declaration of Independence on live television. That's why this is so tough to parody. The founding document of our country literally states our rights come from our "Creator."	This is the sort of thing once covered in middle-school civics
Ivanka Trump Targeted for Assassination by IRGC Terrorist in Twisted Plot to Avenge President Taking Out His Mentor First Daughter Ivanka Trump was targeted for assassination by an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) trained terrorist in a twisted plot to avenge the president taking out his mentor, The Post has learned. Recently captured Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi, 32, made a “pledge” to kill Ivanka and even had a blueprint of her Florida home, sources claimed. The Iraqi national was allegedly targeting President Donald Trump’s family in response to the killing of Iranian military chief Qasem Soleimani in a U.S. drone strike in Baghdad six years ago.
MA City Votes to Disable Gunshot Detection System Just One Week After Major "Active-Shooter Event" in Order to Shield Blacks, Migrants from Cops A slew of liberal activists descended upon the Cambridge City Council in recent weeks to get the city to disable its gunshot detection devices, which help police pinpoint where gunshots are coming from to better respond to shootings. Police Commissioner Pauline Wells begged the council on Monday not to deactivate the devices, citing multiple recent cases where lives have been saved due to the system, but to no avail.
Focusing on Gun Control Rather Than Criminal Control Forces Armed Citizens to Act in Self-Defense Massachusetts has among the most restrictive gun control laws in the country. The Bay State is one of an exceedingly small group of states, along with Illinois, to require a license to merely own any type of firearm. Long terrible on Second Amendment rights, in 2024 the state enacted Chapter 135, a 116-page bill that overhauled state gun laws to further attack law-abiding gun owners. On May 11, a suspect opened fire on a prominent street in Cambridge at around 12:30 p.m. Video of the incident went viral, showing the suspect seeming to shoot vehicles at random. Reports indicate that the individual fired 50 to 60 shots, striking more than a dozen vehicles and severely wounding two drivers. As with so many crimes, the suspect was stopped by…good guys with guns.
16-Year-Old Goes Viral for Challenging Dem Lawmaker at Sharia Hearing on the Hill A Texas high school student who went viral after calling out an Islamic group for passing out hijabs on his campus told members of Congress last week that he has received death threats for speaking up. Marco Hunter-Lopez testified about an incident that occurred on Feb. 2 on his high school campus, when he encountered an Islamic booth where four adult women from the organization "Why Islam?" were passing out hijabs to female students, copies of the Quran with conversion instructions, and a pamphlet titled, "Understanding Sharia."

San Diego Mosque Shooters Hated Basically Everyone, Possible Manifesto Shows Online writings linked to the gunmen in Monday’s deadly California mosque shooting show broad hatred for humanity that crossed political lines. Now-deceased teenage suspects Cain Clark and Caleb Velasquez wished death upon non-whites and women and described the right and left as beholden to malicious Jewish influence, according to a 75-page screed obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation that law enforcement sources said they are reviewing in comments to media outlets. Muslim Security Guard Killed By Neo-Nazis Made Facebook Posts Admiring Hitler, Blasting Jews Two people who hated Jews killed another guy who hates Jews. What a world. Amir Abu Abbas is a Muslim man in Sacramento who was friends with Amin Abdullah, the security guard who was just killed by two neo-Nazi teens while protecting the Islamic Center of San Diego. The two teens, Cain Clark and Caleb Vasquez, wrote a manifesto where they blamed the Jews for the majority of the world's problems. They named that manifesto "The New Crusade: Sons of Tarrant" in honor of Brenton Tarrant, the neo-Nazi who shot up a New Zealand mosque in 2019, killing 51 people.	Some might say he was a victim of friendly fire!
Zohran Mamdani Paid Multiple Visits to Holocaust-Denying Sheikh Who Claimed Jewish Death Toll 'Was Exaggerated' and 'Done by Zionists,' Called for More 'Study' Mamdani recently said at Sheikh Fadhel Al-Sahlani’s mosque that 'It feels like returning home to be here'. Mamdani has met with Sheikh Fadhel Al-Sahlani, imam of the Al-Khoei Islamic Center in Jamaica, Queens, on at least three occasions since January 2025 – despite the cleric's past statements casting doubt on the Jewish death toll from the Holocaust and on the Holocaust being reasonable cause for establishing the state of Israel.
Woke Democrat’s Mosque Appearance Hides SHOCKING Prayer Wyatt Porter • A Democratic congressional candidate, Brad Lander, showed up at a Michigan mosque where the imam had previously prayed for the death of non-believers – and nobody in the mainstream media seems to care • The same imam delivered prayers calling for divine punishment against ‘infidels,’ yet Democrats keep courting these extremist groups for votes • This is what happens when the left abandons American values to chase radical voting blocs – they’ll stand next to anyone if it means winning power.
Senators Call for Nationwide Campaign to Identify Chinese Components in Critical U.S. Infrastructure A pair of senators are making a bipartisan argument for launching a nationwide campaign to identify Chinese components in vulnerable critical infrastructure across the United States, especially in the U.S. maritime industry after unusual components were found in port cranes imported from China. “What would happen if they shut down our electrical grid tomorrow? What would happen … if they shut down our ports tomorrow? Right? If we're buying Chinese products or we are allowing their infrastructure to be part of ours, they're going to have the ability to do that,” Scott said on the Just the News, No Noise TV show.
California Treasurer Fiona Ma Accepted Over $100,000 from Donors with Ties to Chinese Communist Party The most dangerous enemies don’t storm the gates – they’re invited through the front door. For decades, the Chinese Communist Party has understood that influence isn’t seized; it’s purchased, one campaign contribution at a time. While Americans worry about foreign threats abroad, a quieter invasion has been unfolding in statehouses and city councils across the nation. California State Treasurer Fiona Ma – the Democratic frontrunner in the state’s 2026 lieutenant governor race – has accepted more than $100,000 in campaign contributions from donors with documented ties to the Chinese Communist Party and its intelligence apparatus.
Rep. Chip Roy Introduces Legislation to Ban Foreign Adversaries from Buying American Homes The legislation, titled The Ban Chinese Communist and Islamist Home Ownership Act, would ban all purchases of such housing and require the divestment of all current residential ownership by adversarial foreign owners. “American homes belong to American families – not the Chinese Communist Party, foreign Islamists or our geopolitical foes. While Americans struggle to afford housing, hostile regimes are buying up our land and neighborhoods,” Mr. Roy said. “This bill slams the door on foreign adversaries owning American housing and forces them to sell what they already control. We’re putting America’s homes back in American hands.”	Chinese nationals spent $13.7 billion on existing homes in 2025
Costco Suit Highlights Gaps in $166B Tariff Refund Process Warehouse retailer Costco Wholesale asked a federal judge to dismiss a proposed class-action lawsuit seeking consumer tariff refunds, saying the claims are premature and meritless, the latest sign that the $166 billion International Emergency Economic Powers Act tariff refund process could become the administrative "mess" Justice Amy Coney Barrett warned about... Consumers are unlikely to see any of that money... By law, refunds go only to the businesses that paid the tariffs at import, not to consumers who absorbed the costs through higher retail prices.
Peep the Parade of Horribles Virginia Democats Were Ready to Foist on America Athena Thorne Thank God and the Virginia Supreme Court that Democrats' far-left redistricting power-grab got kicked to the curb. Lest you thought that the worst thing about that despicable machination was simply that Virginia Republican voters would be disenfranchised, read on and be enlightened. the Democrats who greedily gerrymandered Old Dominion saw the state as merely a stepping stone from which they could foist a veritable freak show of far-left operatives onto the entire country. Remember: Every single representative and senator in the U.S. Congress has a say in federal legislation. They make the laws by which all Americans are bound.	Americans rejected far-left craziness and lawlessness in 2024
Video Shows Moment Chicago Man Allegedly Used SUV as Weapon Against ICE Agent, Prosecutors Say Newly released video shows the moment a Chicago man allegedly used his SUV as a deadly weapon to violently ram an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer's pickup truck during "Operation Midway Blitz." Diego Emmanuel Reyes, 21, was indicted Thursday by a federal grand jury on charges of assaulting, impeding, intimidating and interfering with a federal agent and faces up to 20 years in prison. The brazen attack allegedly happened Oct. 4, 2025, during an enforcement operation on Chicago's Southwest Side.
Another One: Teen Suspect Tied to 12 Attacks in Chaotic Austin Shooting Spree Identified As Illegal Alien The 17-year-old suspect accused of launching a random shooting spree across Austin has been identified as an illegal immigrant, prosecutors revealed Tuesday. Cristian Mondragon-Fajardo is one of three suspects who allegedly carried out 12 separate shootings across the city over the weekend, leaving three people injured and another victim in critical condition. The two other suspects, ages 15 and 16, have not been publicly identified due to their age. The development comes after a retired Austin police officer blasted the city’s left-leaning leadership, accusing the city council of embracing policies that weakened law enforcement before the violent rampage, including the stripping of key tools used by police.
Eli Lilly Says Next-Generation Weight Loss Drug Clears Crucial Obesity Trial The results bring Lilly one step closer to filing for approval of the weekly injection, called retatrutide, which works differently from existing shots and pills from both Lilly and Novo Nordisk. It also appears to be more effective than those options. The highest dose of retatrutide helped patients lose 28.3% of their weight – or 70.3 pounds – on average over 80 weeks, compared with 2.2% with placebo, when evaluating only patients who stayed on the drug.
‘Seattle Can’t Survive This’: Critics Hammer Socialist Mayor After Starbucks Reversal "Mayor Wilson is what happens when a spoiled child whose parents have been there to correct for all their financial issues for years is put into a place of authority," Tim Young said. "She has no concept of consequences for her actions, especially when dealing with other people’s money." "Seattle, nor any other jurisdiction in the world, can survive someone with literally no relevant life or business experience to run it," he added.
Convicted Child Sex Offender on the Run After California Judge Released Him on Bail Jon Brenner This is the state that watched homelessness devour its sidewalks and called it compassion, that downgraded retail theft and acted surprised when storefronts boarded up, where open-air drug markets operate with something close to official permission while law-abiding citizens lock their doors and wonder what happened to the place they used to love. But even by California standards, what happened in El Dorado County last summer should stop you cold. A 51-year-old man named Carl Cacconie was convicted of six felony counts of lewd and lascivious acts on an 11-year-old girl. Six counts. A child. A jury heard the evidence, weighed it, and delivered a guilty verdict. He faced 18 years in prison. And then Judge Michael McLaughlin – a registered Democrat appointed by Governor Jerry Brown – set bail at $1 million and let a convicted child predator walk out of the courthouse. Cacconie posted bond. And he vanished.
Texas Children’s Hospital to Open ‘detransition clinic’ After $10M Settlement with Trump DOJ, State AG Paxton Texas Children's Hospital (TCH) in Houston agreed to stop administering puberty blockers to children, pay $10 million in penalties and open a "detransition clinic" after a sweeping probe from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the state of Texas. The resolution brings to a close a years-long investigation by Texas' Healthcare Program Enforcement Division, which concluded that TCH fraudulently billed Texas Medicaid for "unallowable and illegal ‘gender-transition’ interventions," Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton wrote in a Friday statement.	Fired are five "woke" doctors who performed gender transition surgeries on children
HUD Proposal to End Women's Shelter Admission Based on Gender Identity Sparks Male Violence Debate Do men who identify as women really threaten women fleeing male violence? That's the raging debate in a regulatory proceeding on "equal access to housing," prompted by President Trump's Day One executive order against "gender ideology extremism," which has quietly amassed over 600 public comments in its first three weeks without any apparent input as of Tuesday from large national groups.
Female Dems Revolt Against Women's History Museum Over Biological Sex Language Democrats sought to defeat the bill after Republicans limited the institution to biological women and excluded transgender individuals. The measure came up short in a vote of 204-216 after a handful of conservative GOP lawmakers joined Democrats in tanking the legislation that would secure a site for the forthcoming Smithsonian American Women's History Museum on the grounds of the Mall. The defecting Republicans objected to the measure over concerns about whether a women's history museum was necessary and because the bill did not include protections against left-wing content from appearing in the institution," a source familiar told Fox News Digital.	"We don't need another museum that risks becoming a shrine to abortion activists or the latest progressive cause."
Trump Admin Seeks Improvements Across Spectrum, Expanding Masters Education and Trade Jobs Access President Donald Trump's Department of Education is approaching skill and education access at two different levels, the post-graduate level and in the critical skilled trades, according to Education Secretary Linda McMahon. On Monday, McMahon spotlighted a critical U.S. workforce challenge: for every five skilled trades workers retiring, only about two are entering the field. Without intervention, the nation could face a shortfall of roughly 2.1 million jobs by 2030. Under McMahon's leadership and the direction of President Donald Trump, the newly implemented Workforce Pell Grant program is a direct response, aiming to train Americans quickly for high-demand, high-wage careers.
Law School Accreditor ABA Moves to End DEI to Protect Its Monopoly Under Threat from Trump, State Courts As red states expand accreditation options for their law schools and the Trump administration pushes to dismantle the legal field's politically progressive flavor of racial discrimination, the American Bar Association is taking decisive action to stanch the bleeding before its federal monopoly over who can become a lawyer is rendered toothless or ended altogether. The ABA Accreditation Council has given final approval to repealing Standard 206 [among others], which demands law schools "demonstrate by concrete action" their commitment to diversity and inclusion in admissions and hiring by "gender, race, and ethnicity," regardless of whether a "constitutional provision or statute" purportedly prohibits such preferences.	This is an admission that the ABA is guilty of discrimination despite denials

Nonprofit Crackdown: Feds Target the Liberal Dark Money Infrastructure Steven Richards A dual-pronged investigative and regulatory pincer movement is moving to close on the nonprofits and "dark money" networks that have long anchored the American left’s political and cultural infrastructure. From Congress to the Justice Department and the IRS, the Trump administration and allied lawmakers are examining the anonymity and tax-exempt status enjoyed by some of the most influential progressive organizations in the country. The latest development came Thursday when the House Oversight Committee issued a subpoena to the Sixteen Thirty Fund, the massive non-profit hub managed by Arabella Advisors.
Dear Mr. President: Just Finish the Mullahs Already Stephen Green When President Donald Trump initiated the current round of hostilities in the 47-year-old Iran War on February 28, observers had no way to tell whether Trump had merely ordered U.S. forces to inflict more heavy damage to the Islamic Republic's nuclear ambitions, or if he was determined to force regime change. Lately, it looks like neither. As PJ Media's own Robert Spencer noted on Sunday, "There is no scenario in Islamic law in which a Muslim force and a non-Muslim one sign a treaty for a lasting peace, lay down their arms, and coexist." There comes a point where even Trump's so-much-winning art-of-the-deal negotiating tactics come up against this hard reality, and it looks increasingly like that's where we are.
Minnesota 'Squad' Rep. Ilhan Omar Knew About $250M COVID Meal Fraud, So Called 'Mastermind' Claims in Jailhouse Interview The Minnesota “mastermind” of the state’s massive COVID meal fraud claims “Squad” Rep. Ilhan Omar was in on the $250 million scam. Aimee Bock, founder of nonprofit Feeding Our Future, was convicted in March 2025 of conspiracy, bribery and wire fraud for allegedly helping restaurant owners file fake or inflated claims during the pandemic to steal millions in child nutrition funds from the government... “The notion that I’m personally responsible for all of it ... is so frustrating. I’m the only white person out of 80 or 90 individuals [charged in the fraud]. I’m the only one that doesn’t speak the language,” she added.	Breaking news!
GOP Lawmaker Says Ilhan Omar Likely STILL a Citizen of Somalia A Florida lawmaker’s ongoing effort to ensure congressmen are loyal solely to America included reason to believe a colleague may be less aligned with Minnesota and more “Somalia First.” Building momentum with the wind at his back, courtesy of the considerable scrutiny being applied to fraud in the Gopher State, Florida Rep. Randy Fine (R) aims to pass common-sense legislation to address an issue long taken for granted. Amid his push to ensure only American citizens serve as elected officials on Capitol Hill, the lawmaker presented the possibility that Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar (D) may still hold allegiance to her home country, Somalia.
Million-Dollar SNAP Food Stamp Fraud Scheme in Walz's Backyard Sparks Outrage: 'Cruel Joke' Minnesota Congressman Tom Emmer demands accountability from Governor Tim Walz regarding the state's massive fraud probe. Emmer alleges Walz is either incompetent or complicit in the theft of $9 billion in taxpayer funds, highlighting the culture of corruption. Federal prosecutors have estimated the fraud against 14 Medicaid programs could total $9 billion. Authorities in Minnesota have filed criminal charges against a man accused of a food stamp fraud scheme that defrauded taxpayers out of over $1 million.

Fine Them, Jail Crooked Bosses, Revoke Their Nonprofit Status Paul Driessen What the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has done to America’s racial and cultural cohesion is just the tip of the spear. Environmental groups and their enablers have inflicted equivalent damage. “Progressive” politicians, activists, and journalists have long extolled the SPLC as the epitome of virtue and justice, “a vigilant voice in civil society against radical white nationalist violence and extremism, neo-Nazism, and other forces.”
We Get Greenland! (Sort Of) Stephen Green The BBC reported early Tuesday that the Trump administration is "holding regular negotiations with Denmark to expand its military presence in Greenland," according to "the usual sources familiar with the discussions." While a far cry from Trump's opening position of making the Danes turn over Greenland and recognizing it as an American possession – the "easy way" or "the hard way," as Trump put it – the discussions reportedly include more than just a handful of new8 military bases. One source told the Beeb that administration officials "floated an arrangement in which the three new military bases would be formally designated as U.S. sovereign territory."
The Preposterously Foolish Wisdom of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Thomas Gallatin Communism has never worked – at least not as its proponents have promised. History is replete with examples confirming this reality beyond any reasonable and rational shadow of doubt. In fact, based upon its record of oppression and death, communism is perhaps the most immoral system of government ever conceived by mankind. Yet despite the historical record and logical reasoning, soft communism’s advocates, socialists, continue to insist that it will work to bring “fairness.” They claim that a truly moral society can only be one that has embraced and thoroughly implemented socialism everywhere.
James Woods Goes Scorched Earth on ‘worthless POS’ John Thune Over SAVE Act Sierra Marlee Actor James Woods had no problem taking Senate Majority Leader John Thune to the woodshed over the SAVE America Act. For some unfathomable reason, Republicans have been dragging their feet on the SAVE America Act, and a great many people lay the blame for this directly at Thune’s feet. Woods is among those calling him out for his complete lack of action, and he was not pulling any punches.
Pentagon Launches Investigation After Democrat Reveals Classified Details on National TV Wyatt Porter Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is reviewing whether Sen. Mark Kelly violated his security oath after the Arizona Democrat discussed classified briefing details on CBS News. Kelly appeared on Face the Nation and spoke about weapons stockpiles following a classified Pentagon briefing on the Iran conflict. The senator told host Margaret Brennan it’s “shocking how deep we have gone into these magazines” when asked about weapons depletion. He then proceeded to list specific weapons systems – Tomahawks, ATACMS missiles, SM-3 interceptors, THAAD rounds, and Patriot missiles – claiming stockpiles have been “hit hard” and will take years to replenish. Kelly further suggested this depletion could harm America’s ability to respond to a Chinese attack. Secretary Hegseth wasn’t having it. Captain Kelly Strikes Again, The Benedict Arnold Arc Reaches Its Predictable Final Chapter Alexander Muse Last November I argued in these pages that Senator Mark Kelly had crossed a structural threshold that earlier American history identified with one name, Benedict Arnold. The comparison was not designed for shock. It was designed to isolate a pattern. A decorated warrior earns public trust, then spends that trust against the lawful authority of the nation that conferred it. Kelly had recorded a vertical TikTok video, in coordination with five colleagues, instructing junior enlisted troops that the Commander in Chief was issuing illegal orders and that disobedience was a duty. I called that an opening move in a domestic color revolution. Many readers thought the framing was too strong.
Report: U.S. Fears Growing Drone Threat from Cuba Newsmax Wires Cuba has acquired more than 300 military drones and has discussed potential scenarios involving the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, U.S. military vessels, and Key West, Florida, according to classified intelligence shared with Axios. The intelligence reflects growing concern within the Trump administration about advances in drone warfare and the presence of Iranian military advisers in Cuba, according to a senior U.S. official. “We’re concerned about those kinds of technologies operating so close to the United States and the range of actors involved, including terror groups, drug cartels, Iran and Russia,” the official said. “It’s a growing threat.”
Obama's Pravda Moment: Ex-president’s Claims to Colbert Ignore Russia Collusion Complicity John Solomon and Jerry Dunleavy Former President Barack Obama ripped a page from the Pravda playbook with his recent appearance on Steven Colbert's show on CBS, suggesting the Trump Justice Department's crackdown on intelligence politicization and law enforcement abuses was somehow a "retribution campaign. But the 44th president's rhetoric can't mask the growing body of evidence chronicling the direct role he played in shielding Hillary Clinton and concocting a false Russia collusion narrative that was designed to fool American voters during the 2016 election and hamper the start of Trump's first presidential term.
Judicial Watch Sues EPA for Records on Biden’s $2 Billion Election Year Grant to Stacey Abrams Judicial Watch announced today it filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for records on the Biden administration’s $2 billion Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund grant to the nonprofit Power Forward Communities which is tied to failed Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams. The taxpayer funds, awarded in April 2024, were from the $14 billion National Clean Investment Fund program established under the Biden administration’s massive Inflation Reduction Act. The grant was awarded to finance so-called “residential decarbonization.”
One Nation Under Fraud: Trump Administration Uncovers Massive Welfare, Citizenship Abuses The Trump administration’s work to pare back waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government has reportedly exposed a vast network of taxpayer-fleecing scams, abuses of immigration, and of the citizenship process across all corners of the United States. The story involves resettled refugees soaking up federal paychecks to run home healthcare and childcare businesses, transnational criminal organizations exploiting food benefit programs, and scammers using fake student profiles to make off with millions in federal student loans. It also involves non-monetary forms of fraud, especially in immigration – legal and illegal alike.
Hochul Opens New Yorkers' Wallets to Bail Out Mamdani Nate Jackson Fine, here’s $4 billion, an exasperated Kathy Hochul seems to have told Zohran Mamdani. New York City’s new socialist mayor threatened to raise taxes on the middle class to balance his exorbitant $124.7 billion budget, and it worked. The Empire State’s governor caved, handing her fellow Democrat a massive wad of state taxpayer cash. Mamdani posted a slick message and video on X to celebrate. “When we came into office, we uncovered a $12 billion budget deficit,” he claimed. “Today, I’m proud to say we brought it down to zero.” Hot Air’s John Sexton wryly quips, “So how did he achieve this miracle? Well, he asked mom for money.”
Germany’s Nuclear Confession Is a Crack in Net-Zero Pretense Germany stubbornly closed its last three functioning nuclear reactors in April 2023 right in the middle of a crippling energy crisis triggered by the war in Ukraine. As pragmatists predicted, German citizens now suffer under punishingly high electricity prices and remain heavily dependent on imported energy. The green dream was sold as a route to “cheap” renewables, yet the reality for German households and factories has been record-high electricity prices, complex subsidies for favored businesses and individuals who conform to the climate narrative, and a grid that struggles on windless days or under gray skies.	“We can’t run a full-time economy on part-time energy.” —André Béliveau
Former CIA Director John Brennan Says There are Still “Legions” of His Allies, Deep State Operatives, at DOJ, FBI and CIA Appearing on MSNBC to talk to Lawfare ally Nicole Wallace, wife of New York Times narrative engineer Michael Schmidt – the guy who received leaks from FBI Director James Comey via Daniel Richman, former CIA Director John Brennan notes there are “legions” of operatives still embedded within the DOJ, FBI and CIA who are working against President Donald Trump.

‘Culture of fear’ Helped Influence D.C. Police Leaders to Fudge Crime Numbers, Internal Report Says The full report on the District’s Metropolitan Police Department crime data manipulation scheme shows that the department’s higher-ups reclassified hundreds of crimes as lesser offenses, as multiple police leaders pointed to a “culture of fear” created by Chief Pamela A. Smith that motivated some officials to fix the numbers. The 554-page internal report said crimes such as theft, burglary and assault with a dangerous weapon were recategorized at times across the city’s seven police districts, with some officials altering reports for dozens of crimes while others did so hundreds of times.
Face-Tatted, Pony-Tailed Nut Slashes NYC Straphanger: Cops Police are looking for the marked-up maniac after he allegedly cut a 35-year-old man in the neck at the 49th Street subway station Friday morning. Besides the face tattoos and pony-tail, images released by cops also show the man sporting a scraggly beard, blue hoodie and backpack. The inked assaulter got into a verbal dispute with the unidentified man, which blew up when he took out a boxcutter and slashed the victim in the neck, police said.
Newsom’s Diaper Blowout Reeks of Fraud, In Other Words it Stinks Emmy Griffin The program gives moms with new babies 400 diapers when they are discharged from the hospital. Newsom is giving $20 million to the non-governmental organization Baby2Baby to fund diapers for the first 100,000 babies. However, when you do the math, each diaper costs $0.50. In a big-box store, the most affordable diapers are $0.15-$0.30, give or take... Turns out it may be a money-laundering scam. Brown noted that Norah Weinstein, the CEO of Baby2Baby, just happens to be best friends with Jennifer Siebel Newsom, Gavin’s wife... Some are theorizing that the extra millions are being laundered and redirected into a Newsom presidential campaign fund via Weinstein or Patricof or both.	Diapers for new moms seems kind, but it is quickly smeared with government inefficiency and the whiff of fraud.
A Texas Military Vet Dropped Out of Penn State Law School Rather Than Submit to Its Mandatory Anti-Racism Course David Blackman, a native of Plano, Texas, was thrilled to be starting law school at Penn State in the fall of 2025. A former 911 call operator and a veteran of the Texas State Guard, Blackman, 26, loved the university's football team and its location in the Appalachian Mountains. "I’ve been a fan of Penn State since I was a teenager," Blackman told the Washington Free Beacon. He arrived on campus in August 2025, a 50 percent merit scholarship in hand, excited for game nights in Beaver Stadium and a three-year reprieve from the Texas heat. Then he sat through his first anti-racism class.
Five More Colleges Plan ‘Private’ Grad Ceremonies for Illegal Alien Students This spring, Campus Reform is tracking universities hosting separate graduation ceremonies for illegal alien students, often referred to as “UndocuGraduation.” Many of these ceremonies are described as “private,” limiting attendance to approved participants and, in most cases, withholding location details from the public altogether. This comes as universities continue releasing guidance to illegal alien students on how to navigate interactions with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to avoid arrest and deportation.

California Trans Athlete Podium Controversy Ignites Outrage Among Politicians, Activists A girls' track and field meet in California became the subject of national controversy for the second week in a row when a trans athlete swept three jumping events. What happened on the medal podium afterward became a point of mockery. Trans athlete AB Hernandez won first place in the high jump, long jump and triple jump at the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Southern Section finals on Saturday. So too did the girl who would have finished first, based on a rule enacted last year that awarded any female athlete that finished behind a trans athlete a higher placement.

ICE Reveals Controversial Student Visa Program Is Giant Scam – 'A Blatant Attack on the American People' Student visas are designed to expand educational opportunities. Turns out, however, that just like we’ve seen in the massive Minnesota and California social-service program fraud epidemic, the rampant COVID relief scams, and so much more, bad actors love to take advantage of government programs, and according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), that’s exactly what went down with a visa program called Optional Practical Training.
Family Who Allegedly Attacked TPUSA Reporter Indicted on Federal Charges The Department of Justice announced the unsealing of a federal indictment against the family who allegedly assaulted a Turning Point USA reporter during a recent anti-ICE protest. Paige Ostroushko, a University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point athlete, and her parents, Chris and DeYanna, are facing federal charges related to the assault of TPUSA journalist Savanah Hernandez, according to a DOJ press release. The federal grand jury has also indicted Ostroushko and her father for “willfully and forcefully injuring and intimidating” Hernandez.

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.

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.”

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 Leavitt 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.
What Did She Know? Democrat Governor Candidate Served on SPLC Board While It Bankrolled KKK Member Tyler O'Neil Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson served on the board of the Southern Poverty Law Center while the SPLC paid members of the Ku Klux Klan and the Aryan Nations. Benson, a Democrat running for governor, joined the organization’s board in 2014opens in a new tab and left in 2019opens in a new tab, when the SPLC fired its co-founder, Morris Dees, amid a racial discrimination and sexual harassment scandal.
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.”	Also: Billionaire Tom Steyer Caught in Ultimate Hypocrisy at May Day Rally: 'Class Traitor'
Erika Kirk Brilliantly Dismantles White House Correspondents’ Hypocrisy Catherine Salgado 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.	Enjoying cocktails and hobnobbing with Hitler
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 Dem. Party of Va. Press Secretary and Spokesman Liam Watson Sentenced for Election and Voter Fraud 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. Watson was found guilty on two counts of felony election fraud and one count of illegally voting in an election in court on December 16, 2025.	The Dems insist there is no voting fraud
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.	Biden WH was the most pro-abortion of any in history
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. The Biden Admin's COVID Vaccine Cover-Up and Lies 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 alien was issued CDL by Newsom's Calif.
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.

D4vd Used Chainsaw to Dismember Celeste Rivas in His Garage Disturbing new details have emerged of the horrifying way D4vd groomed and eventually mutilated Celeste Rivas at the age of 14 with a chainsaw, according to prosecutors. The singer, real name David Burke, ordered an Uber to deliver Rivas from her family home in Lake Elsinore to his Hollywood Hills home on the night of April 23, 2025, according to legal documents obtained by the California Post.

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."
Report: Foundation for Govt. Accountability Finds 14,000 Luxury Vehicles Linked to SNAP Recipients 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.
Christian School Wins $566,000 from Vermont After State Punished Girls Basketball Team for Not Playing Game Against Trans Boy Back in 2023, Mid-Vermont Christian School decided they weren't going to play a playoff game against a team with a 6'1" trans player. The Vermont Principals' Association then punished the school – banning them from all future tournaments – as a result. Fast-forward to today, and Mid-Vermont is up $566,000.

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 The 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.	*Judge ruled the proposed constitutional amendment was “void ab initio” (treated as if it never existed)*
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.	Democrats focus away from safety and toward identity
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.	Not your average spy agency retiree
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.	Checking the 'gotcha' records
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. SPLC Bankrolled the Charlottesville 'Unite the Right' Rally That Spawned 'Fine People' Hoax David Strom 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.”	Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) via Discover the Networks
Trump Demands 2020 Election Nullified After 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.
Stop Subsidizing Illegal Migration – and California’s Self-Destruction Calif. Post Editorial Board It is no longer surprising to learn that Democrats are sending heaps of taxpayer money to left-wing groups that cause chaos in our streets before re-electing Democrats to do it all over again. Christopher F. Rufo and Susan Crabtree wrote in The California Post that Gavin Newsom “has granted approximately $1 billion to an army of nonprofits that has encouraged unchecked numbers of migrants to enter the country.”
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.	"No Kings" should mean no to the King's English
Texas Governor Abbott Threatens Millions in Funding Cuts to Sanctuary Cities Over ICE Non-Cooperation Cole Harrison 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.

Suspect Who Fled U.S. Arrested in Connection with Caught-on-Camera Killing of 15-year-old in NYC Park 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.
NYC Mayor Mamdani Vetoes Bipartisan Bill to 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.
NASCAR Driver Who Was Left Bloodied from Horrifying Daytona Crash Has Harsh Words for Stephen A. Smith Ryan Preece told reporters at Talladega he'd love for Smith to go 'tumbling 13 times' and show up the next week. 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.	Vile, tasteless and unfunny. What a jerk.
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."
Another Arizona State U. Staffer Caught on Undercover Video Admitting DEI Practices Persist “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.	“We started changing language, but we’re still doing the same thing”
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.
Millionaire Big Game Hunter from U.S. Trampled to Death by Five Elephants While Eyeing His Next Kill in Africa 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 Just 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.	F.A.F.O.
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.	“These acts of pure evil have devastated our Department."
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.	Just what you'd expect from the "No Kings" king.
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 Fox 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.

Glam Iranian Businesswoman Busted at LAX, Charged with Helping Regime Sell Drones, Bombs and Ammo A glamorous Iranian businesswoman with a U.S. green card was arrested at the Los Angeles International Airport for allegedly trafficking arms on behalf of Tehran. Shamim Mafi, 44, of Woodland Hills, was taken into custody on Saturday night and charged with brokering deals for Iranian drones, bombs, and millions of rounds of ammunition bound for Sudan, according to the office of the U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California. Mafi posted glam pics of herself traveling the world – including posing in a $100,000 Mercedes-Benz roadster.
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.

Trump DOT Chief Sean Duffy Pulls $73M from NY for Giving Illegal Aliens Trucker Licenses Duffy sent a letter to Democrat New York Gov. Kathy Hochul warning her that an additional $147 million is also at risk of being terminated if Hochul does not cancel the commercial truckers licenses (CDLs) previously issued to migrants. “I promised the American people I would hold any state leader accountable for failing to keep them safe from unvetted, unqualified foreign drivers. I’m delivering on that promise today by refusing to fund Governor Hochul’s dangerous, anti-American policies,” Duffy told the New York Post.
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. 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.

"See you and your entire entourage of false reporting in court... But do keep at it with the fake news, actual malice standard is now what some would call a legal lay up," he wrote on X on Saturday. Patel was responding to an MS Now segment on the Atlantic's reporting.

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.
‘God’s Design’: Red State Swaps Pride Month for ‘Nuclear Family Month’ Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee has signed a resolution declaring June Nuclear Family Month as an alternative to the usual LGBTQ+ Pride Month. Lee, a Republican, signed House Joint Resolution 182 April 9 after it passed the House in April 2025 and the Senate last month.

Woke Boston Mayor Hands Out $500 Haircut and Massage Vouchers to Queer and Trans Migrants, Refugees Boston’s woke Mayor Michelle Wu is funding a new program that gives “queer and trans” migrants up to $500 for massages, yoga classes and creative healing – despite the city being crushed by a nearly $50 million deficit. The so-called “wellness allowances” are being handed out by a nonprofit called OUTnewcomers and is backed by the Mayor’s Office for Immigrant Advancement, the group revealed Wednesday.	I wonder how much grift the NGO will reap?
Calif. LGBTQ+ Organization Seeks $25M from Legislature for Gender-Affirming Care for Minors An LGBTQ+ organization in California is asking the Golden State’s lawmakers to allocate $26 million in general fund revenue to help pay for gender-affirming care for minors. “This is more of a preventative budget ask than anything else,” Danny Ceseña, network director for the California LGBTQ Health and Human Services Network, told The Center Square on Friday. “This budget ask will mainly go into effect only if the federal government, in their CMS-proposed rules, prevent access to gender-affirming care for minors, especially minors that receive their insurance benefits through Medi-Cal.”
‘A real loser!’ Trump Sets His Sights on Fox News Host and It’s NOT Pretty Tom Tillison 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.
Marcus Luttrell Tells Trump How Ibogaine Changed His Life – POTUS Speeds Treatment Access Marcus Luttrell believes in the power of psychedelics as a way to help veterans get their lives back. Those who have served will tell you that reintegrating into civilian life is one of the hardest missions they have undertaken. In many cases, the psychological impact of their service affects their ability to function and can even lead to a devastating outcome. This is why Luttrell is among those praising the benefits of psychedelics like Ibogaine.

Senate Republican Pushes Crackdown on California-Style 'Bureaucrat Tax' Adding $100K to New Homes A Senate Republican wants to slash six figures from the cost of a new home by rooting out cumbersome regulations at the state and local level, which he said will make homeownership more affordable for Americans. Sen. Bill Hagerty, R-Tenn., wants to gut the so-called "bureaucrat tax," which piles on regulations that amount to nearly $100,000 in added costs when building single-family homes, in order to expand the housing supply in the country and lower the barrier to entry for buying a home. He’s introducing the Freedom to Build Act.

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.
Iranian Rescue Mission Underscores Hegseth’s Predecessors’ Incompetence Brianna Lyman Americans can and will continue to debate the war in Iran. But what is not debatable is the competence on display of our military and its leaders during Saturday’s rescue mission. 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.
Gen. Jack Keane 'skeptical' That Iran Ceasefire Will Hold, Warns Tehran Will 'delay and obfuscate' Retired four-star Gen. Jack Keane expressed doubt that the Iran ceasefire will hold, arguing Tehran is exploiting the pause to delay and ease pressure while testing whether the U.S. has "the stomach" to restart the fight. "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.
CENTCOM to Begin Blockade of Iranian Ports on Monday U.S. Central Command said it will launch a blockade of Iranian ports beginning Monday at 10 a.m. ET. In a statement, CENTCOM said the measure would be applied impartially against "vessels of all nations” that enter or leave Iranian ports and coastal waters. Ships traveling between non-Iranian ports will still be permitted to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, it added.
Report: Trump Says U.S. Tried to Send Guns to Iranian Protesters, Suggesting Kurds Kept Them President Donald Trump said on Sunday that the United States attempted to supply Iranian protesters with weapons this year so they could defend themselves against another massacre, but the effort was not successful because Kurdish intermediaries decided to keep some of the guns for themselves. “He tells me: ‘We sent them a lot of guns. We sent them through the Kurds,’ and the president says he thinks the Kurds kept them. He went on to say, ‘We sent guns to the protesters, a lot of them,’” Trey Yingst said.
The Secret, Never-Before-Used CIA Tool That Helped Find Airman Downed in Iran: ‘If your heart is beating, we will find you’ The CIA used a futuristic new tool called “Ghost Murmur” to find and rescue the second American airman who was shot down in southern Iran, The Post has learned. It was the tool’s first use in the field by the spy agency – and was alluded to Monday afternoon by President Trump and CIA Director John Ratcliffe at a White House briefing. This and more details are released about the daring rescue of the downed WS Officer.	"Ghost Murmur" Timeline, Equipment revealed
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) Arthur Schaper 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.
Are Demo Voters as Crazy as Their Party Leaders? Mark Alexander Yes, those clowns who show up at “No Kings” protests (funded by Kings), and those Demo pawns who protest immigration enforcement, are dupes of their crazy socialist Democrat Party protagonists. But what about most Democrat voters? [T]here is increasing evidence that a supermajority of Demos do not support the policies advocated by those Democrats who are now saying out loud what they have always been: socialists... In fact, most Democrats outside of a few major urban centers and some failed/failing Demo-controlled nanny states do not actually support the socialist views of their party’s loudest political advocates.
Conservatives Need to Utilize Trump Tactics, ”Skunk Works Brain Trust” to Win Elections Expert Says Amanda Head To be effective in both elections and legislatively, Republicans need to start playing ball like Democrats, maintaining their war room, and campaigning 24/7, 365 days a year, author and political strategist John Tillman told Just The News. "The problem on the right is that we are like cats. We don't like to be herded. We're very independent, and we don't actually see government as the be all and end all. Every issue that are those 80-20 issues, we need to go on offense. On those issues, President Trump is the first one in a long time that has been better at going on offense," Tillman said.

Carney Casts Himself As NATO Defender Amid Trump Beef, Despite Canada Missing Key Benchmark for Decades Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney defended his country's NATO commitments after being pressed over alliance spending by President Donald Trump, insisting Ottawa meets the benchmark – even though Canada only reached the 2% defense target in 2025. "I’ll underscore that just a few weeks ago that we've met for the first time since the fall of the Berlin Wall our NATO commitments in terms of 2% defense spending," Carney added.
It Is Impossible to Overstate How Deranged the Left Has Become David Strom For a long time, the Democrats and liberals mostly egged on the insanity by using triggering language, but these days they are actively embracing the worst people on Earth. 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 After Being Accused of Sexual Assault Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell suspended his campaign for California governor on Sunday following sexual assault allegations that he continues to deny. Democrats quickly abandoned him after allegations that he sexually assaulted a woman twice, including when she worked for him, were published Friday in the San Francisco Chronicle and later by CNN. The reports came as Swalwell began to emerge as a leader contender in the crowded race.
House Republican Plans Motion to Oust Swalwell from Congress Amid Sexual Assault Allegations Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., announced Saturday she would be filing a motion to expel Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., from Congress after former staffers accused the congressman of sexual assault and misconduct. 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."
Impeachment Bombshell: Secret Memos Expose Ukraine Accuser’s Bias, Hearsay, and False Claim The U.S. intelligence watchdog developed derogatory evidence about the CIA analyst who prompted the 2019 Ukraine-focused impeachment against Donald Trump, including that he submitted false information in his whistleblower complaint, offered hearsay to support his allegations and had the "potential for bias," according to newly declassified memos that were kept from Americans during the failed bid by Democrats to remove the president from office six years ago. 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.	A little late now wouldn't you say?
How Scammers Used the Dark Web to Steal $267M Meant for Dying Patients A major hospice fraud operation believed to have bilked the state of California out of $267 million is now out of business. The money came from Medi-Cal, funds meant to help people at the end of their lives. California Attorney General Rob Bonta says the suspects relied on fake records, nonexistent offices, and stolen identities to justify their billing and claims.
Defendants in Massachusetts Can No Longer Be Held Without Bail When Charged with Armed Robbery In a landmark decision released today, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court (SJC) significantly limited the power of the Commonwealth to hold individuals in jail while they await trial. The case, Agostini v. Commonwealth, further clarifies the boundaries of the state’s "dangerousness" statute. Under this law, the government can request that a defendant be held without bail if they are charged with certain specific crimes and are deemed a danger to the community. The SJC ruled that armed robbery is no longer a "predicate offense" that allows for this type of pretrial detention. Here Also	This is the Woke justice system
On the “Green” Gravy Train John Hinderaker I think most people have figured out that many scientists and activists are on the “green” gravy train. After all, there are trillions of dollars at stake, and money is no object. But most do not understand that many utilities have teamed up with climate alarmists to promote expensive and unreliable wind and solar energy. Why would utilities do that? Because they make lots and lots of money from “green” initiatives.	that's green alright
West Coast, Messed Coast – Hey, Where'd All That Money Go? Victoria Taft Here's the truth. The insiders in Sacramento, Salem, and Olympia have been using social service non-profits, NGOs, and questionable charitable groups as pass-throughs for their friends and pet constituencies for years. Billions have been gifted to insiders and friends. And now – at long last – actual taxpayers have gotten wise to the grift. You can thank independent journalists for highlighting these absurd expenses... And now people living on the West Coast, Messed Coast want to know one thing: Where'd all that money go? It all starts with ... Gavin.
LA Water Reservoir Shutdown Sparks Fury As Residents Fear Another Palisades Disaster "Stunningly Reckless and Incompetent" Fury is erupting in a fire-prone corner of Los Angeles after residents learned two key reservoirs meant to protect their community will be taken offline, raising fears of a repeat of the 2025 devastation in the Pacific Palisades. 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.
Invasion of 20-Pound Rodents Wreaking Havoc on California May Have Been Intentional California is under invasion from a 20-pound rodent once believed to have been eradicated from the state -- and officials now fear humans may be to blame. 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.
Prosecutor Says Armed Citizen Shot College Professor in Self-Defense Cam Edwards 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.

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?
