soon find their place in urban

SCOTUS Takes on EO to End So-Called Birthright Citizenship Mark Alexander Not since President Dwight Eisenhower’s “Operation Wetback” (yes, that was the name of Ike’s program to deport millions of illegal aliens) has any administration seriously dealt with illegal immigrants – until Donald Trump arrived in 2017. He made stopping illegal immigration a centerpiece of his administrative objectives. Trump made progress against almost insurmountable odds. But Joe Biden and his Democrat Party hacks orchestrated their bulk-mail ballot fraud in 2020 to dispose of Trump. They opened our southern border in order to rig national elections. And not only is the flood of illegal immigrants now breaking the bank of the Demos’ so-called sanctuary cities and states but the flood of bloodshed by violent immigrants is on the Biden/Harris regime and will take years to clean up.  The Founders Agree with Trump on Alien Enemies Act Bradley Devlin Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an alleged MS-13 gang member and citizen from El Salvador, has become an avatar of The Resistance 2.0. The story of his deportation to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 has been twisted into an allegory for life under the second Trump administration. In the words of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, D-N.Y.: “Kilmar is all of us.” Stephen Miller, White House deputy chief of staff for policy, has taken a primary role in arguing the administration’s justification for the use of the Alien Enemies Act. Miller’s argument centers on the president’s prerogative in foreign affairs as enshrined in Article II of the Constitution. |

 Late Night EXTRA! How Letitia James Fraud Came Crashing Down! EXCLUSIVE: New York Attorney General Letitia James, who became President Donald Trump's nemesis after accusing him of mortgage fraud, is now battling the very same allegations, and her chief tormentor is a legendary scam artist who says he knows a crook when he sees one. Sam Antar, who kept the books for his cousin, "Crazy Eddie" Antar, while he built a New York-area consumer electronics empire, helped his late relative skim cash and inflate the value of their company before leaving investors high and dry in the late 1980s. He says he knows every trick in the fraud book and smells a rat in James' real estate filings.  Earlier Coverage Letitia James' Mortgage Misclassification Just Got Worse Sam Antar This isn’t a minor paperwork discrepancy. Five-unit buildings are classified as commercial properties under federal lending guidelines, subject to stricter underwriting standards, higher down payments, and less favorable terms. By repeatedly downgrading the unit count – sometimes to as low as a single-family home – James may have accessed residential mortgage products exclusively designed for primary residences with substantially more favorable terms. | James’ lawyer doesn’t understand the property he’s defending |
| House Judiciary Committee Is Losing Patience with Fani Willis Chris Queen The ongoing sniping between the House Judiciary Committee and Fulton County, Ga., District Attorney Fani “Cash Stash” Willis isn’t going to end anytime soon. It’s been nearly two years since the committee began looking into Willis’ “politically motivated prosecution” of Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants – and that was months before the scandal erupted involving her relationship with her special counsel, who was underqualified to prosecute corruption cases but was embroiled in an affair with the DA. In February 2024, the committee subpoenaed records from Willis’ office; a year later, the committee demanded more records from the prosecutor’s office. Willis has stomped her feet, and her staff has dragged its feet. And Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), the chair of the committee, has had enough. | |
| SCOTUS Is Injuring Its Credibility More Than Journos Ever Could Shawn Fleetwood Throughout Wednesday and Thursday alone, judges across multiple venues handed down decrees barring numerous executive actions taken by the president since returning to office. From DEI to election policy, these cases are but a few of the more than 170 lawsuits Democrats and left-wing political actors have filed to sabotage Trump and the 77 million Americans who voted for him. Despite this clear effort to destroy American democracy via a judicial coup, the U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) seems to have no interest in stopping it. The nation’s highest court has had ample opportunities to halt these lower court judges’ destructive antics but has repeatedly declined to do so. |

| The Oligarchy Hoax: How Democrats Use Marxist Rhetoric to Mask Their Elite Power Vaughn Cordle, CFA Since Barack Obama’s election, the Democratic Party has rebranded itself as the voice of the “common people” – not through policy, but through narrative warfare. The latest hoax claims America is 'sliding into oligarchy' under Republican leadership, specifically Trump. It’s a smear designed to mask the real consolidation of power within their ranks. The irony is clear: while Democrats scream “oligarchy,” they are the party of billionaires, Big Tech, and Wall Street. Companies like Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, and Microsoft are dominated by Democratic-aligned executives, who not only shape public discourse but bankroll the party’s apparatus. |

| Nadine Menendez, Wife of Disgraced NJ Sen. Bob Menendez, Found Guilty in Sweeping Bribery Case; Faces Significant Prison Time Nadine Menendez was found guilty on Monday of acting as the partner in crime of her convicted husband, ex-Democratic New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez, by brokering backdoor bribery deals that saw the couple showered in gold bullion bars, wads of cash, and a Mercedes-Benz convertible. Jurors, who got the case Friday, convicted Nadine of 15 counts, including conspiracy to commit bribery, conspiring to make her husband a secret agent of Egypt, conspiracy to commit honest services fraud, conspiracy to commit extortion, and obstruction of justice for trying to thwart the feds’ investigative efforts. |

| Comer Refers Former NY Gov Andrew Cuomo to DOJ for Prosecution House Oversight Chairman James Comer on Monday referred former Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to the Justice Department for criminal prosecution, after he allegedly made false statements to Congress. The referral accuses Cuomo of purposely lying to Congress about his handling of the COVID-19 nursing home scandal in his state. The former governor, who led the state during the pandemic, issued a mandate in 2020 that required nursing homes in the state to admit untested or possibly contagious patients. It allegedly resulted in the deaths of over 15,000 people. |

| AG Pam Bondi Leads Task Force to ‘Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias’ in Federal Agencies Attorney General Pam Bondi and other members of President Donald Trump’s cabinet have launched a task force to address anti-Christian bias in federal agencies that they argue escalated under the Biden administration. The goal of the task force is to identify any unlawful, anti-Christian policies, practices or conduct across the government. The task force will in that effort seek input from the faith-based organizations and state governments to end such bias and fix deficiencies in existing and regulatory practices that might be contributing factors. “The Biden administration engaged in an egregious pattern of targeting peaceful Christians while ignoring violent anti-Christian offenses,” Bondi said. |

| Buried Biden-Admin Bombshell 2.0 Government Accountability & Oversight GAO has uncovered certain facts which the Trump administration absolutely must consider and exploit as it pursues its announced regulatory corrections. This information sheds light on the previous administration’s process for adopting an unlawful “suite of regulations” imposing the “climate” agenda without any statutory authorization. Turns out, that plan was more unlawful than even we knew. In fact, this information rightly puts an immediate end to the flagship rule, the Biden administration’s ‘Clean Power Plan 2.0’. |

| The Blade Stops Here: France Holds Wind Industry Accountable at Last Charles Rotter This isn’t just a one-off judicial reaction. It represents a seismic shift in how the French legal system – and perhaps the broader public – are beginning to confront the uncomfortable truth about wind energy’s collateral damage. Despite the Green orthodoxy that surrounds renewables, wind turbines kill birds. And not just any birds. In this case, the victim was the breeding male of a golden eagle pair that had nested just three kilometers from the turbine site, a distance well beyond typical disturbance buffers used in wildlife protection. Environmental groups hailed the court’s decision as a victory, but the implications go much deeper. For years, bird deaths caused by wind turbines have been ignored, downplayed, or dismissed as unfortunate but tolerable trade-offs in the race toward “net zero.” But the Bernagues case shatters that illusion. The U.S. Government Must Step In: Two New Studies Imply the Golden Eagle Cannot Survive More Wind Turbines David Wojick  The Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act specifically says that the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) cannot issue more “take” (that is kill) permits than the population can survive. Two new studies together imply that the golden eagle wind-kill taking is at that limit or beyond. Clearly FWS must stop issuing new wind turbine take permits until it rigorously assesses this situation. No new wind turbines should be erected. Some presently in operation may have to shut down. Fortunately, new eagle kill permits are presently on hold under the President’s Executive Order, but we are also talking about the law.

| EPA Chief Lee Zeldin Unleashed: He Blasts NY Green Energy Laws As 'Delusional' and a 'Catastrophe' Ed Ireland In an interview with the New York Post..., Zeldin slammed New York’s Climate Act, advanced by Gov. Kathy Hochul and New York Democrats, as “delusional” and a “left-wing recipe for an energy and economic catastrophe.” Zeldin’s comments come after the Trump administration halted the Empire Wind Power project off the New York-New Jersey coast, a setback to the State’s effort to meet the unachievable mission reduction mandates under its much-criticized green energy laws. Not mincing words, Zelden, who is a New York resident and represented New York's 1st congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives from 2015 to 2023, told The Post, "New York’s lofty climate goals don’t come equipped with any feasible plan to actually achieve them. The consequence is that the people who can least afford the economic pain are the ones who get targeted and harmed the most." |

School Removes Electric Buses from Use Over Student Safety Concerns --
Note: Biden EPA Required Removal of Diesel Buses As Condition for Grant
Money A Kansas school has stopped using its electric school buses out of an abundance of caution after reports of the buses losing steering and braking, posing a threat to student safety. Working for you, 27 News reached out to the six school districts that initially received federal funding to purchase electric school buses. While some districts report the buses are functioning well, Wabaunsee USD 329 said it removed buses from service “in line with our highest priority of student safety.” Canadian Maker, Lion Electric, Now in Bankruptcy Proceedings.

| The Great Green Lie: Wind & Solar Aren’t Saving the Planet, They’re Wrecking It Limits to Green Energy Are Becoming Much Clearer Gail Tverberg The idea that unreliable wind and solar can save the planet is one of the greatest lies, ever told. In touting their purported environmental credentials, the crony capitalists, rent-seekers and fawning advocates never take into account any of the associated costs. It’s all sunshine and suitably stiff breezes, as far as the wind and sun cult is concerned. At the heart of economics is the need to account for all costs and weigh them against any purported benefits. Then, and only then, can a net benefit of any chosen course of action be determined. |

| New Study Reveals Soaring Costs of California’s Green Energy Transition Wayne Winegarden and Kerry Jackson As the U.S. marks Earth Day, a new study released today by the Pacific Research Institute, a nonpartisan, California-based, free-market think tank, reveals the staggering costs California consumers and businesses will incur as the state pursues its aggressive green energy mandates. The paper, “The Cost of Going Green,” provides a comprehensive analysis of the economic burden placed on Californians by the state’s forthcoming green energy requirements. According to PRI’s analysis, California households will bear significant costs, estimated to be between $17,398 and $20,182 per household, to fund the state’s transition to alternative energy sources between 2025 and 2050. | |
| ‘War On Coal Is Finally Over’: Energy Experts Say Trump Admin’s Deregulation Agenda Could Fuel Coal’s Revival Audrey Streb Within the first months of his second administration, President Donald Trump has prioritized “unleashing” American energy and has already axed several of what he considers to be burdensome regulations on the coal industry, promising it’s “reinvigoration.” Trump signed an executive order on April 8 to revive the coal industry, and shortly after moved to exempt several coal plants from Biden-era regulations. Though it has become a primary target of many climate activists, coal has been historically regarded as readily available and affordable, and several energy policy experts who spoke with Daily Caller News Foundation believe Trump has the cards necessary to strengthen the industry. |

| Updates on the Collapse of the Climate Scam Francis Menton The good news on the Endangerment Finding front is that EPA under new Administrator Lee Zeldin is very much on the job of eliminating the EF. Of course, once it has been rescinded it will face a blizzard of legal challenges. I hope and expect that Zeldin and his team are up to the job of carrying out a rescission that will stick. Separately, Tom Nelson has made a thing out of compiling a growing list of “Signs That The Climate Scam Is Collapsing.” That list is now up to some 33 items and counting. |

| Trump Speaks Truth to Power Adam Ellwanger & John J. Waters In The Constitution of Athens, Aristotle tells a story of the tyrannical ruler Pisistratus, who went into the countryside to observe the farms upon which he imposed taxes. Seeing a farmer working a dry piece of ground, Pisistratus approached the man to ask what the land produced for him. Not recognizing Pisistratus, the man replied: “Aches and pains! And that’s what Pisistratus ought to have his tenth of!” As king, Pisistratus had the prerogative to kill the farmer on the spot, but he was so impressed with the man’s frank speech – his parrhesia – that he exempted the farm from taxation. Since the beginning of Trump’s political career, nothing has bothered the establishment more than the way he speaks, and what he says. Whether the criticism is valid is irrelevant because Trump’s parrhesiastic style of speaking helped put him in the Oval Office. |

| Over 100 Illegal Immigrants Arrested in Colorado Springs Massive Underground Nightclub Raid Federal authorities announced Sunday that more than a hundred illegal immigrants were detained in a massive raid at an underground nightclub in Colorado Springs that officials say was "frequented by TdA and MS-13 terrorists." The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Rocky Mountain Division led a multi-agency operation early Sunday morning and arrested 114 illegal immigrants at the venue that contained more than 200 people inside. Authorities uncovered drugs, including pink cocaine, as well as evidence of prostitution and multiple firearms during the operation, according to the DEA. |

| Academics, Medical Professionals Who Criticize Gender Ideology Get Help from Courts, Lawmakers Judges appointed by presidents of both parties and red states are tag-teaming to protect academics and medical professionals from inquisitions based on their speech and conscience, amid a flood of signed legislation just this month cementing parental, religious and sex-based rights while kneecapping government promotion of gender ideology. The University of Louisville agreed to pay former psychiatry professor Allan Josephson nearly $1.6 million to resolve his retaliation and nonrenewal lawsuit rather than risk a worse result from a jury, in damages and being forced to rehire him, after the 6th U.S. Circuit of Appeals stripped its public officials of qualified immunity, Josephson's lawyers said last week. |

| Yale Derecognizes Students for Justice in Palestine Chapter After Group Blocks Jewish Students' Access to Parts of Campus Yale University stripped the school's Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) chapter, Yalies4Palestine, of its status as a recognized student group on Wednesday after it established a short-lived encampment. The decision may give insight into how Yale president Maurie McInnis, who called the police to arrest student protesters in her last job, will combat anti-Israel agitators at the Ivy League university. In a Wednesday afternoon statement, Yale revealed that university staff had warned Yalies4Palestine the day before the encampment that "further violations would jeopardize the group’s privileges" during a meeting about prior infractions. | |
| Princeton’s War on Civil Rights Christopher F. Rufo & Ryan Thorpe Princeton Univ president Eisgruber was right to say that he presides over a system of racial discrimination – but not in the way he imagines. The university does not discriminate against “oppressed” groups, such as blacks and Latinos, but against those seen as “oppressors.” “At Princeton, it’s totally common knowledge that there are favored groups and disfavored groups,” one professor said. “And the disfavored groups are whites, Jews, males,” and others commonly disliked by the Left. A City Journal investigation confirms that Princeton has, in fact, entrenched a system of racial discrimination and segregation. We have obtained more than a dozen internal documents and conducted interviews with a half-dozen employees, who confirm that the university has flagrantly violated the principles of the Civil Rights Act in the name of “social justice.” | |
| Gretchen Whitmer's Bureaucrats Sued for Requiring 'implicit bias' Training to Keep Medical License Greg Piper The scientific rigor behind "implicit bias" has been questioned since at least 2009, when the Journal of Applied Psychology deemed the evidence "surprisingly weak" that the Harvard-designed implicit association test "predicts discriminatory behavior," despite the confident claims of psychologists and pop-science purveyors including Malcolm Gladwell. "Sexy But Often Unreliable," Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin declared in 2011 in reviewing the "replicability of experimental findings with implicit measures." Implicit bias training keeps showing up in professional mandates, however, prompting a liberty-minded public interest law firm to bring lawsuits on behalf of medical professionals against what they portray as ideological compulsion. |

| More Than $300 Million Raised for DEI Initiatives in U.S. Higher Education, Report Finds A nonprofit organization’s investigation tracked down donations equal to over $300 million in funding to diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives at dozens of colleges and universities across the U.S., while also reporting that the DEI funds still exist after the federal government’s termination efforts and have been simply renamed. “We have been able to track down over $336,271,100 in donations to fund institution DEI programs, scholarships, and offices,” a report on Defending Education’s investigation stated. |

| Gender Ideology Under Fire in Courts as Liberals Dig In; "Sex" and "Woman" Refer to Biological Sex Oral arguments this week in a case before the U.S. Supreme Court and a ruling earlier this month by Britain’s Supreme Court are the latest evidence that left-wing gender ideology is on its heels worldwide -- but liberals in some states are nonetheless doubling down on it. The British Supreme Court’s decision on April 16 sent shockwaves throughout the country and across the Atlantic, as judges ruled that males who claim transgender status and identify as women do not qualify as women under the country’s anti-discrimination law. |

| Pro-Woman Advocates Slam Nike Over Alleged Funding for Puberty-Blocker Study It recently came to light that the biggest sports apparel company in the world, Nike, is apparently helping to fund a study on the use of puberty-blockers in children and how it affects their athletic performance. The short version of the study's purpose is simple: how much medication, hormones and surgery needs to be given to young boys to allow them to "fairly" compete in girls' and women's sports? To this point, Nike has not confirmed its financial investment in the study, but they have not denied it, either. Of course, most rational-thinking people already know the answer that this study seeks to find. |

| How Democrats Used NGOs
to End-Run Voters: A 'parallel government' Glenn H. Reynolds I’m often darkly amused by common examples of inherently false nomenclature: “Jumbo shrimp.” “Government ethics.” “Unbiased news media.” And one of our society’s biggest falsehoods-in-a-name: “Non-governmental organizations.” We imagined they raise money, help the downtrodden, send out press releases and engage in other private activities to promote the causes they favor. They’re not government entities, we thought – the very name says that – but a species of private charity whose good intentions deserve the benefit of any doubt. Perhaps some NGOs do operate in that way. |

| When Judges
Become Prosecutors: The Curious Case of Judge Boasberg Amuse on X  In
a republic governed by laws and not by men, the judiciary’s role is to
interpret the law, not invent it. Yet in the curious and increasingly
troubling case presided over by U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, the
distinction between interpretation and invention has collapsed into
something that more closely resembles judicial activism on stilts. In
his April injunctions halting deportation flights under President
Trump’s lawful immigration crackdown, and his subsequent finding of
criminal contempt against Department of Justice officials, Boasberg has
not merely tested the outer limits of judicial power, he has bulldozed
past them. |

| Alito Blasts 'unprecedented' SCOTUS
Move to Halt Trump's Venezuelan Deportations: 'legally questionable' Justice Samuel Alito wrote a fiery dissent against a recent Supreme Court move to halt President Donald Trump's deportations of Venezuelan criminals under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798. The decision, which was issued early Saturday morning, effectively blocks the deportations of Venezuelan migrants under the 18th century law. In a decision that was also signed off on by conservative Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett, the court advised the White House not to remove Venezuelans held in Texas' Bluebonnet Detention Center "until further order of this court." Alito disapproved of the timing of the decision, which he described as being "literally in the middle of the night." |

Kidding When He Promised $7 Trillion in Investments President Donald Trump’s recent announcement that he’s procured $7 trillion in incoming investments to the United States may very well have been an underestimate. “We have, I would say, more than $7 trillion now … of investments coming in,” Trump told reporters on April 9th. “Apple is coming in for $500 billion alone. We have other companies coming in with massive numbers. We have car companies that are coming in. No, we’ve never seen anything like it, maybe in the 1940s or 50s or something, but we’ve never seen anything like it,” he added. |

| 'DELETE DELETE DELETE': Trump's Mass Deregulation Push About to Launch Ed Morrissey The New York Times reports on a new and "novel legal strategy" that the Office of Management and Budget director will soon deploy. Rather than go through months of process for repealing regulations – required under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) – the White House plans to treat a massive amount of regulation as legally moot in light of Supreme Court precedents. Using the U.S. DOGE Service to target such regulations, the administration will simply delete them from the federal register... Trump set the ball rolling last week, in an executive order that may have flown under the radar. The title certainly addressed the intent clearly: "Directing the Repeal of Unlawful Regulations." It ordered regulatory heads to repeal regulations mooted by ten Supreme Court decisions between 2015 and 2024, with Loper Bright at the very top of the list, and contains the core of the administration's legal argument… |

The "Why Does the IRS Need Guns Act" would disarm the federal agency, prohibiting the commissioner of internal revenue from using funds to buy, receive or store firearms and ammo, and requiring the transfer of IRS firearms and ammunition to the Administrator of General Services. |

Newsom claims he wants to have “honest conversations” with people on both sides of the political aisle. Whatever you think of Newsom, you have to admire his cheekiness. Recall that last December, the too-handsome-by-half politico convened the California legislature for a special session designed to “protect California values” during the second Trump term.

Past natural climate changes such as Greenland’s “temperature increases of up to 10°C within just 50 years” 14,700 and 11,700 years ago confirm that the modern climate change rate (just 0.05°C per decade since 1860) falls well within the range of natural variability. |

Activist Who Endorsed Oct. 7 Attack Mohsen Mahdawi had his green card revoked by the Trump administration and was taken into custody on Monday in Burlington, Vt., where he was scheduled to take a citizenship test. Mahdawi’s attorney told the Intercept that Mahdawi was detained for his "Palestinian identity" and that he had come "to this country hoping to be free to speak about the atrocities he has witnessed." But Mahdawi, a graduate philosophy student in Columbia’s School of General Studies, has also said he "can empathize" with Hamas over the terrorist group’s Oct. 7 slaughter and has publicly called for the destruction of Israel. Last year, he honored a commander in the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade, a U.S.-designated terror group that participated in the attack alongside Hamas. |

| Harvard Rejects Deal with Trump
Admin, Putting Billions in Federal Funding at Risk The school has advised its attorneys not to pursue a deal with the administration over a series of demands, several aimed at combating anti-Semitism on campus, according to an email sent Monday to faculty members from university president Alan Garber. The decision puts billions of dollars in federal funding to Harvard at risk: The Trump administration announced late last month that it was examining nearly $9 billion in grants and contracts to the school, and it froze $2.2 billion in Harvard grants just hours after Garber's announcement. |

| The Liberals’ License:
How the Left Finds Release in an Age of Rage Jonathan Turley “We should replace our piece of crap Constitution.” Those words from author Elie Mystal, a regular commentator on MSNBC, are hardly surprising from someone who previously called the Constitution “trash” and urged not just the abolition of the U.S. Senate but also of “all voter registration laws.” But Mystal’s radical rhetoric is becoming mainstream on the left, as shown by his best-selling books and popular media appearances. There is a counter-constitutional movement building in law schools and across the country. And although Mystal has not advocated violence, some on the left are turning to political violence and criminal acts. It is part of the “righteous rage” that many of them see as absolving them from the basic demands not only of civility but of legality. |

| Supreme Court Slapdown
of Judge Boasberg Sends Message to Federal Judges on Overreach Ben Whedon The Supreme Court decision reversing U.S. District Judge James Boasberg’s block on President Donald Trump’s deportation of gang members under the Alien Enemies Act sent a stern message to federal judges nationwide that overreach and venue shopping won't be tolerated. The Trump administration has witnessed a record number of temporary restraining orders (TROs) against its policies, with lower-level federal judges imposing sweeping blocks on executive actions, notably those involving immigration. The Department of Justice has repeatedly urged the Supreme Court to narrow the scope of federal injunctions or to clarify the extent of lower court judges’ authority to interfere in executive branch operations. |

| How “Tesla Takedown” Activists Fool
the Public Christopher F. Rufo and David Reaboi Last month, a wave of more than 200 protests targeting Tesla properties erupted across the United States. The media portrayed this movement, officially branded the “Tesla Takedown,” as a spontaneous grassroots backlash against CEO Elon Musk’s role in dismantling waste and fraud in the U.S. federal bureaucracy. Each of these demonstrations appears to have been sparsely attended, but both the number of protest sites and the timeline of events suggest a coordinated effort. A closer look suggests that Tesla is the latest target of an activist and organizing ecosystem that the Left has built over decades. That infrastructure manufactures, amplifies, and strategically uses protests and “direct actions” to force concessions or policy change. ...The goal is to bypass the normal channels of democratic decision-making, obtaining desired ends through minoritarian pressure campaigns. |

Jonathan Turley, whose current project is reclaiming free speech for all Americans, hits the nail on the head when he points out that Musk's ultimate sin in the eyes of the left was his purchase of Twitter and his release of the Twitter Files. |

| Trump Goes Gangbusters on Coal
Power and Coal Mining to Supply AI Energy Demand JoNova In the last twenty years 770 coal turbines have been switched off in the U.S., and Donald Trump wants to turn as many back on as he can. Any moment now President Trump is expected to sign an executive order that will boost coal mining, keep old coal power stations running and restart shuttered coal plants. The word is that the U.S. government will define coal as a “mineral” which allows him to use presidential wartime authority to speed up approvals for coal mines, and to bypass environmental red tape and even prioritize exploration and mining on federal lands. |

Problem Frank Ricci Injunctions are hard-fought and not often won – unless, it seems, you’re trying to handcuff the Trump administration from fulfilling its constitutional duty under Article II. Sen. Chuck Grassley’s bill – the Judicial Relief Clarification Act – aims to quell the flames. He writes that these injunctions “have become a favorite tool for those seeking to obstruct Mr. Trump’s agenda,” and the numbers prove it: over two-thirds of all universal injunctions in the last 25 years targeted Trump’s first term... When unelected judges usurp the executive’s authority, they don’t balance power – they subvert it. |

| Why Government Reform May Hinge on
Ending Federal Unions Sean Higgins President Trump’s executive order ending collective bargaining for a wide swath of federal cabinet agencies and other government entities is a laudable attempt to end the failed experiment with federal government unions. Federal workers were first granted collective bargaining rights under Civil Service Reform Act of 1978, thanks to then-President Jimmy Carter. Section VII of the law, which deals with labor-management relations, states: “The President may issue an order suspending any provision of this chapter with respect to any agency, installation, or activity order, located outside the 50 States and the District of Columbia, if the President determines that the suspension is necessary in the interest of national security.” |

| DOGE Official Confirms What We've
Known All Along: Illegal Immigrants Are on Medicaid and Voting Becky Noble Democrats love to portray themselves as the compassionate ones. They just want to help people, especially the poor and downtrodden. When you ask them about illegal immigration, they will tell you that these are just poor people looking for a better life for themselves and their families. That's why they were perfectly okay with a wide-open southern border and letting millions of people into the country. It was all about compassion. However, as the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) continues to dig into the twisted story of America's finances, we are finding out that the compassion ruse is just that, another Democrat party scheme. |

Homesickness for America Stella Morabito “Christian nationalism” is the bad penny that keeps turning up in media propaganda. Over and over and over again. It’s an obvious trope that often conflates fascism with a very natural love of homeland. Nationalism is very connected with a sense of identity and the hardwired human need for a sense of belonging. If Americans (as well as other peoples) have more consciously embraced it, I think that’s because many have felt like displaced persons adrift in a sea of wokeness. |

| The Italian Lesson: Why Trump Needs
to Break Columbia University Ian Oxnevad In the age of Trump, Columbia University and American higher education are in crisis. That crisis is a familiar one to Italy. Today, the United States is confronting something in higher education that Italy confronted decades ago when its university system birthed an era of unrest, mayhem, murder, and terrorism in the form of the Red Brigades (Brigate Rosse). Columbia University’s commitment to race-based “diversity, equity, and inclusion” politics, ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), faculty with ties to terrorism and Iran, and its rabid anti-Semitism should all serve as warnings for what universities can produce. |

Maine’s defiance began in February when Trump held an annual dinner for the nation’s governors. As the president discussed his executive order to prohibit men from participating in women’s sports, he called out Maine’s Democrat Gov. Janet Mills and said her state would lose federal funding if she did not comply. Mills responded that she would see Trump in court. |

| Judge Boasberg Is Not My
President Don Surber The question before the court now is if the Elections Have Consequences Rule applies now or only when we have a DEI hire as president because if a president needs the permission of a judge to do his job then he is not the president; the judge and 676 other district judges are because now they are somehow empowered to stop any and all acts of the president. But the twigs are not the tree. We shall see if the justices agree. On Friday, President Trump filed an appeal to the Supreme Court of District Judge Boasberg’s unprecedented and unconstitutional order to stop enforcing immigration law, this time through the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 as amended in 1918 to include females. Two years before American women got the right to vote, non-American women got the right to be tossed into prison and deported. |

JFK’s Worst Mistake I & I Editorial Board While Democrats were busy hyperventilating over the nothingburger “Signal scandal,” President Donald Trump quietly took an action that could do more to drain the swamp – and Democratic Party finances – than any other action he’s taken to date. On Thursday, Trump signed an executive order that ends collective bargaining rights for most federal workers, a move that “is a magnitude of tenfold on what they’ve done so far on their attack of the federal workforce and the labor movement,” Cathy Creighton, director of Cornell University’s Industrial and Labor Relations Buffalo Co-Lab, told the Washington Post. Actually, it is the first step toward righting a wrong committed by President John Kennedy in 1962 when he signed an executive order allowing federal workers the right to collectively bargain. |

As is usual with the Trump-deranged, Boasberg is projecting. He’s the one acting in bad faith by taking up this case (or any other Trump-related business) at all.

Bunch of little f*gg*ts w/your white privlages [sic]." Hale was also "hoping for a high death count." |

| Trans Teacher Performs Sexual Dance
Inside Classroom for ‘Visibility’ A troubling video making the rounds online is the latest example of why home schooling is increasingly becoming the only option for many parents. The footage was shared on a TikTok account that has gone private and features what appears to be a man imitating a woman while dancing in a classroom. The caption identifies the man as a trans teacher and while it’s not clear who the individual is, the footage is disturbing nonetheless. “Trans teacher films a video of himself doing a s*xually suggestive drag dance in his classroom. These are the people teaching your kids,” opined the highly popular Libs of TikTok X account. |

Why America Has a Home-Schooling Revolution It gets little media coverage, but the reality is that millions of American parents have given up on the public education system and joined the home-schooling movement. But there is so much more to the reason home-schooling is exploding, including the fact the on-going failure of the public schools is entirely predictable if you know the European roots of public education.

After Being Sucker-Punched During NYC Street Interview on Abortion  A pro-life activist in New York City was sucker-punched in the face while doing a street interview about abortion, leaving her bloodied and requiring stitches, viral video shows. Savannah Craven Antao, a 23-year-old reporter for advocacy group Live Action, was conducting a man-on-the-street interview in Harlem on Thursday, discussing the topic of Planned Parenthood with an unidentified pro-abortion New Yorker. |

| Missouri’s Top Cop Suggests Planned
Parenthood Veering Toward Crime by Helping Minors Get Abortions Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has vowed to fight Planned Parenthood as the abortion giant argues it has the right to help minors cross state lines to obtain abortions in violation of state law. Voters narrowly approved a right to abortion access within Missouri during the November elections, though lawmakers retained the ability to restrict abortion after fetal viability. The state still requires parental consent and notification for a minor to obtain an abortion. |

| The Foundation That’s Bankrolling
Radical Activists in Higher Ed John D. Sailer At Columbia University, the Racial Justice and Abolition Democracy Project created a curriculum to help college students imagine a “society without jails and prisons.” At Morgan State University, the Black Queer Everything initiative developed “transformative pedagogies” about “racism, inequality, and injustice.” And at UCLA, the Race in the Global Past through Native Lenses program promoted using “tribal critical race theory” to interpret precolonial history.

UC Davis Campus Event, Mass Assault Conservatives While Cops Do Nothing Campus police and the University of California, Davis, are being slammed for doing nothing to stop a mass assault against conservatives. “They stole the canopy, ripped down banners, smashed foam boards, and even tried to steal the iPad and laptop of a [TP USA student] field rep,” TPUSA reported on Thursday. “TPUSA students were shoved and had objects thrown at them – while police did nothing,” the group added in a post on X. “Only after the damage was done did law enforcement finally form a perimeter.

| The Nadir of the Climate
Change Movement Steven F. Hayward It is possible that the Trump Administration is going to deal the death blows to the long-running climate change hysteria and government hostility to fossil fuels, not just in the United States but around the globe. The Trump Administration has moved well beyond merely supporting increased oil and natural gas production. It has also launched steps to dismantle the foundations of anti-energy climate policy, in particular, a proposed reversal of the so-called "endangerment finding" that gave the EPA jurisdiction to regulate greenhouse gases, which were never explicitly included in any of the various Clean Air Acts passed over the last 50 years. Trump's EPA is also proposing to revise the EPA's flawed "social cost of carbon" analysis, which is used to justify costly green energy schemes. |

Against the Fantasy Economics That Prop Up Net Zero Matthew Lynn For most of the last decade, corporate leaders have insisted that the transition to a carbon-neutral economy was win-win. We would save the planet and get richer at the same time. But hold on. The Australian airline Qantas has just broken ranks, admitting that flying may soon be the preserve of only the privileged, while a wealth of research is making it clear that environmental goals have hammered the economy. In reality, bosses are starting to admit what has been obvious for some time. Net zero is making us poorer – and that means we have to rethink the way we go about reducing carbon emissions. |

Goldberg Wait 13 Days to Notify Waltz About ‘Massive Security Breach’? Craig Bannister On Monday, The Atlantic’s Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg confirmed with the Trump Administration that national security was breached by his accidental inclusion in a text message group initiated by National Security Adviser Michael Waltz – 13 days after he first suspected his inclusion was a mistake. Instead of immediately addressing the national security threat by asking Waltz if his addition to a Signal text messaging app group was a mistake, Goldberg apparently waited nearly two weeks – all the while suspecting that national security was being breached – before bothering to contact Waltz and other high-ranking officials to question his inclusion in the group. Two hours after his inquiry on Monday, the Trump Administration replied, confirming he was added to the group inadvertently. Goldberg, then, promptly published his story, titled “The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans”: |

| Plaintiffs Challenging Trump DEI
Order Are Playing Judicial Games Margot Cleveland A group of plaintiffs asked a federal judge on Saturday to vacate the injunction he had previously entered in their favor against the Trump Administration that halted the implementation of the president’s directives to end DEI initiatives. The plaintiffs’ move came after a federal appellate court stayed the injunction, signaling a likely reversal of the injunction on appeal and a win for Trump. This motion represents the second effort within as many weeks by litigants to game the judicial system to avoid losing to the president on appeal. The courts should refuse to play along, including in this case by denying the motion to vacate the injunction. |

| New Dirt on Judge Boasberg Raises
More Questions Matt Margolis The district court judge who recently blocked President Donald Trump's efforts to deport illegal alien gang members attended a suspiciously partisan legal conference just months before his ruling, according to a judicial ethics report. Judge James Boasberg, who serves on the D.C. District Court, participated in what appears to be nothing more than a Democrat strategy session masquerading as a legal conference in Sun Valley, Idaho. The conference’s agenda items, “Judges in a Democracy” and “State of Democracy,” sound eerily similar to the Democrats’ tiresome 2024 campaign rhetoric about “saving democracy” – which, of course, has become the justification for their using the courts to obstruct Trump’s agenda. |

| The Case for Removing Judge
Boasberg's Security Clearance M Dowling Mike Davis called for President Trump to remove Judge Boasberg’s security clearance. No one, not Congress or the Supreme Court, is doing anything about Boasberg. Boasberg wants those Tren de Aragua back in the country. He won’t remove the TRO because he said the domestic terrorists marked for deportation under the Alien Enemies Act are likely to win. He claims they are entitled to individual hearings and due process. Attorney Mike Davis explained that he did not have the power to do what he was doing. It’s not the proper court. Davis also presents an excellent case for removing Judge Boasberg’s security clearance. |

| Follow the Money: Is This the Real
Reason the Left Is Freaking Out About the Department of Education? Tyler O'Neil  Judging
from the Left’s responses to President Trump’s order to wind down the
Department of Education, you might be forgiven for thinking the
president had just started World War III. These people know, of course,
that eliminating the Department of Education doesn’t actually mean
“declaring war on America’s students” or demolishing the “public
education system.” (Even school choice, which may weaken public schools
by allowing tax dollars to follow students to home schooling and other
options, will only introduce competition for public schools, not
destroy them.) President Trump didn’t order the demolishing of schools
– he ordered the Department of Education to begin the process of
turning its functions over to state education departments and to other
federal agencies. |

| Biden Bailout Fallout: VA Budget Bungling Led to Veterans Affairs Crisis Last Year President Joe Biden's dramatic emergency request to bail out the VA last year was rooted in massive bureaucratic bungling and resulted in Congress appropriating money that was not needed, the agency’s internal watchdog concluded. The inspector general report published Thursday confirms that a $2.9 billion supplemental request went unused because the agency failed to account for “prior-year recoveries” in its budget planning. Had the agency taken into account those recovered funds, the inspector general found, its projections “would have shown a reduced risk of a shortfall by year-end.” |

The story picks up with a gathering to decide who should lead the DNC into the future. “How many of you believe that racism and misogyny played a role in Vice President Harris’ defeat?” asked MSNBC anchor Jonathan Capehart. Every candidate raised their hand. “That’s good,” he added. “You all pass.” Later, a DNC member asked, in reference to party positions: “Will you pledge to appoint more than one transgender person to an at-large seat?” Only one of eight contenders kept their hand down. |

The WTO has already been hobbled by a U.S. move in 2019 during Trump's first term to block new judge appointments to its top appeals court, which left its key dispute settlement system only partially functional. Washington had accused the WTO Appellate Body of judicial overreach in trade disputes. |

| Why Libs Should Want to Shut Down
the Department of Education Don Surber President Trump’s destruction of the federal Department of Education is overdue because the states, not the president, should decide education policy. Once the federal DOE is gone, we should get rid of the state DOE’s and let local school boards set the policies. Once the state DOEs are gone, we should have a beer and chill. Of course there is too much money involved for this to happen. The money does not go to the classrooms but to six-figure school superintendents, contractors, union featherbedding, bureaucratic featherbedding and the like. Education is the perfect place for scoundrels because no one follows the money and any proposal not to increase spending by at least the rate of inflation is reported by the media as anti-education. Hamas terrorists hide behind children. So do the educrats. |

Reveals Why the Autopen Scandal is a Big Deal Jim Davis The Autopen is a fascinating device. Developed to allow celebrities to mass-produce autographs for hordes of swooning fans, it was never intended to enable a Muppet to serve as president of the United States. But that seems to be exactly what happened. Evidence has been emerging for a week that nearly every document Joe Biden allegedly signed after his first few days in office – every executive order, every pardon, every Congressional bill signed into law, every international treaty, every lifetime judicial nomination (including the nomination of Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson) – was signed with not one, but two Autopens. |

| Is the Jig Up for Elite
Higher Education? Victor Davis Hanson Over the last three decades, elite American universities have engaged in economic, political, social, and cultural practices that were often unethical, illegal -- and suicidal.

Advocates for his release, from Rep. Gerry Nadler and Sen. Chris Murphy to academic nonprofits, have framed Khalil’s detention as a violation of his speech rights. In this version of the story, he is an innocent campus protester caught up in the Trump administration’s crackdown on dissent. These arguments don’t stand on firm First Amendment footing. As even the most Khalil-sympathetic legal scholars have acknowledged, the relevance of free-speech law in the case is at best unclear. |

| Trump Declares Biden’s Pardons of January 6 Committee ‘Void, Vacant’ Due to Autopen President Donald Trump said former President Joe Biden’s preemptive pardons for members of the January 6 Committee are “void, vacant, and of no further force or effect,” citing the pardons having been given via an autopen. “The ‘Pardons’ that Sleepy Joe Biden gave to the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, and many others, are hereby declared VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT, because of the fact that they were done by Autopen,” President Trump said in a Sunday night Truth Social post. Were Biden’s ‘autopen’ Pardons Legal? Trump Says Question Should Be ‘up to a court’ Kaelan Deese President Donald Trump suggested Monday that the legality of autopen-signed pardons should be decided by the courts, questioning whether former President Joe Biden’s final clemency orders, including controversial preemptive pardons, are valid. In a Truth Social post, Trump said Biden’s pardons, including those granted to members of the House Jan. 6 Select Committee such as former Reps. Liz Cheney (R-WY), Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), along with former White House chief medical adviser Anthony Fauci and former Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley, were “VOID” because they were allegedly signed using an autopen, a mechanical device that replicates a signature. Biden’s Autopen Scandal Just Got a Whole Lot Worse Matt Margolis Earlier this month, we reported that virtually every document bearing Joe Biden's signature during his presidency was signed by an autopen. The presidential autopen has been in use since the 1950s, with its legality debated for years. In 2013, Barack Obama became the first president to sign a bill into law using an autopen while vacationing in Hawaii, relying on a Bush-era legal memo stating a president’s presence wasn’t required if he had authorized the signature. The key issue with Biden, however, is whether he actually authorized the use of the autopen – or if someone else was running it without his knowledge. Is This the Aide Who Abused Joe Biden's Autopen? Matt Margolis The latest scandal for the former Biden administration has exploded into the spotlight thanks to Trump’s declaration Sunday night that Biden's pardons are "VOID, VACANT, AND NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT" because they were signed via autopen, and Biden may not have authorized them. The lingering question, of course, is who may have been using the autopen on Biden’s behalf without his knowledge or consent. An explosive New York Post report revealed a disturbing pattern of potential power abuse within the Biden White House, centered around the controversial use of the presidential autopen. |

Cash, But the DOGE Can Stop the Hemorrhaging Ross Marchand The Department of Government Efficiency is teaming up with the U.S. Postal Service, and it’s a good thing. Last week, Postmaster General Louis DeJoy told Congress he had reached an agreement with the DOGE to root out inefficiencies and help the service address “big problems” – most of which are financial. As an initial cost-cutting gesture, the USPS is reducing its workforce by 10,000 through a voluntary early retirement program. The DOGE certainly has its work cut out for it. The USPS lost an astounding $9.5 billion in fiscal year 2024 and is projected to lose an additional $60 billion to $70 billion by 2030. However, most of this spending is wasteful – not essential – which positions the service, through proper reforms, to recover and once again deliver for taxpayers and consumers. |

Liberal protesters have targeted Tesla vehicles and company locations in order to punish Elon Musk for his role in implementing President Donald Trump's policies. Some vehicles and locations have been vandalized in what is suspected to be politically motivated violence. Trump had promised to seek domestic terrorism charges against violent Tesla attackers, and Bondi made good on that promise Thursday. |

| The Battery Backlash Is Real, It's
Global, and It's Growing Robert Bryce The battery business is on fire. According to the Energy Information Administration, 10.3 gigawatts of battery capacity was added to the U.S. electric grid in 2024, and the EIA expects another 18.2 GW of capacity to be added this year. By comparison, the agency expects no new nuclear capacity, no new coal, and only 4.4 GW of new natural gas-fired capacity to be built in the U.S. in 2025. Subsidies are a key driver behind that new capacity. Under the Inflation Reduction Act [the Biden admin's deceptively named program], corporations can use the investment tax credit to recover as much as 50% of a battery project’s cost upfront. Furthermore, as I will explain momentarily, under Joe Biden, the Department of Energy handed out more than $26 billion in loans for battery projects. Between 2021 and 2024, that sum constituted more than a quarter of the $99 billion in loans the DOE handed out over that period. The battery sector is getting tens of billions more per year in tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act. Despite all the cash, all is not well in battery land. |

Makes a Stunning Admission About the Democrats Matt Margolis Liberals are in full-blown panic mode over President Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Democrats in Congress are hysterically crying “constitutional crisis,” while unhinged activists are lashing out at Tesla vehicles and showrooms – all because Elon Musk dares to support cutting government waste. Conservatives have long suspected there’s a deeper reason why the left goes berserk over efforts to rein in reckless spending. Now, the New York Times has accidentally said the quiet part out loud – the left’s political machine is fueled by your tax dollars. |

| NYC’s Law Allowing Noncitizens to
Vote Is Dead As State’s Highest Court Shuts It Down The Big Apple’s controversial law allowing noncitizens to vote in city elections was struck down by the state’s highest court Thursday. The New York Court of Appeals ruled 6-1 that the law – passed by the City Council in late 2021, with the support of current Democratic mayoral candidates Adrienne Adams and Brad Lander – violated the state constitution. “Whatever the future may bring, the New York Constitution as it stands today draws a firm line restricting voting to citizens,” the opinion states. |

| Peter Navarro: Virtually All New
Jobs Under Joe Biden Were Taken by Illegal Immigrants Peter Navarro, the senior counselor for trade and manufacturing for President Donald Trump, tells Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow that virtually all new jobs created during the Biden administration went to newly arrived migrants who poured across the United States-Mexico border. During an exclusive sit-down interview with Marlow at the White House for The Alex Marlow Show podcast, Navarro explained mass immigration’s close relationship to free trade, where the cost of labor plummets, dragging down Americans’ wages. |

| Nuclear-Generated Electricity Saves
an Electricity-Starved World Ronald Stein P.E. | America Out Loud News Only a few wealthy countries have spent hundreds of billions of dollars subsidizing what they call “renewable energy” in the name of “carbon-free electricity” that is unreliable and weather dependent. Yet, despite picking our pockets through taxes and borrowing to support humongous subsidies for wind and solar, our direct costs are rising for electricity, our electric grid is becoming more failure-prone, and we still live with a monopolistic system called utilities of marketing electricity. |

| Average Planned Parenthood CEO
Earns $350K The American Life League has released a report on Planned Parenthood CEO pay. “In the U.S., the average salary for a nonprofit CEO is roughly $117,000 a year,” says the report. However, the average Planned Parenthood CEO salary has increased from $317K to $352K since 2020. That’s a strong incentive to keep the abortion business booming. Pro-life advocate Lila Rose reports that awards are being given for exceeding abortion quotas. In the 2022-2023 fiscal year, Planned Parenthood received $699.3 million in federal funding, about 34% of its annual revenue. Taxpayer money isn’t supposed to pay directly for abortions, so lavish salaries are one place to fudge that money. |

Parents If Their Newborn Babies Are Straight, Gay or Trans A New Jersey hospital system has absolutely lost its mind and jumped the shark with extreme gender ideology. Inspira Health is asking new parents about their babies' sexual orientation. A photo of the form Inspira gives out at hospitals went viral on social media, titled "Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Questionnaire." And it's just as insane, if not more, than it sounds. "What sex was your baby assigned at birth?" It continues: "Which of the following best describes your baby? Lesbian or gay; straight or heterosexual, bisexual, questioning/unsure, prefer not to answer." |

| Seventy-Seven Retired Generals and
Admirals Call for Supporting Israeli Attack on Iran Frontpage Mag Seventy-seven retired generals and admirals have written a letter calling for the United States to support Israeli military action that prevents a nuclear Iran. The letter was issued by the Jewish Institute for the National Security of America on March 4. ... What Israel needs most from the U.S. that it doesn’t have already in its arsenal are those 30,000-pound GBU-57/B Massive Ordnance Penetrators (MOPs), a huge precision bunker buster specially designed to penetrate very deeply buried and fortified targets. This bomb would enable the Israeli Air Force to destroy the nuclear facilities deep underground at Natanz and deep inside a mountain at Fordow, as well as other nuclear facilities that may not yet have been publicly identified, but that the IDF is well aware of. |

| Pro-trans UPenn Funding Paused “Promises made, promises kept,” Donald Trump posted on Wednesday after his administration froze $175 million in federal funds for the University of Pennsylvania. The reason for the action was tied to Trump’s executive order banning males from competing in female sports. Trump officials further warned that UPenn is under investigation and is “still at risk of losing all its federal funding” over potential Title IX violations related to its having allowed transgender-identifying male swimmer Lia Thomas to compete on its women’s swim team. A White House official explained that UPenn’s action resulted in “overturning multiple records hard-earned by women, and granting the fully intact male access to the locker room.” |

| UN Pushes Awful Green
Deal Policies While Also Spreading Eco Lies Bjorn Lomborg The United Nations is at a crossroads. President Trump pulled out of the World Health Organization, cut funding for the UN’s Climate Convention, and more withdrawals are likely in the pipeline. He calls the UN an “underperformer,” suggesting it is a swamp to be drained. At this critical juncture, one could reasonably assume the UN would justify its existence by sharpening its focus on peace and prosperity through sound, data-based advice. Instead, it is boldly working to suppress open debate on climate change while pushing prosperity-wrecking policies. |

| Biden’s Autopen Was a Mighty Big
Sword Jeff Crouere On Friday, in his address to the Department of Justice, President Trump said the Biden autopen controversy was “a big deal.” He said, “you don’t use (an) autopen. Number one, it’s disrespectful to the office. Number two, maybe it’s not even valid because, you know, who’s getting him to sign? He had no idea what the hell he was doing.” Sadly, Biden was oblivious to what was happening around him, but key staffers in his White House were certainly aware of his cognitive decline and they exploited his weakness to enact the most radical leftwing agenda in American history. In the process, crimes were possibly committed in a scandal that makes Watergate look like child’s play. |

and the MAGA Response Brian Mark Weber When President Donald Trump returned to the White House in January, he inherited a hot mess. To name a few of the fires, runaway inflation, rising consumer prices, widespread crime, and an open southern border all plagued our nation. Amongst the plethora of problems Trump inherited are hotspots around the world where regional conflicts could turn into global war. One of these hotspots is Iran, a country whose desire to become a nuclear power was thwarted for many years, only to have American presidents pave the way for their nuclear ambitions. Instead of putting pressure on Iran’s leaders, Barack Obama and Joe Biden gave them a nuclear deal and ransom money for hostages to boot. |

| Climate Scientist Who Sued Critics
for Defamation Misled Jury, Judge Says Nick Pope University of Pennsylvania climate scientist Michael Mann and his attorneys presented misleading information to the jury in his defamation case against critics of his work, according to a judge of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. Mann won his defamation suit against conservative writers Mark Steyn and Rand Simberg, both of whom criticized Mann’s signature “hockey stick” climate model as shoddy work, in February 2024 after litigating the issue for more than a decade. However, D.C. Superior Court Judge Alfred S. Irving sanctioned Mann and his attorneys on Wednesday for conduct “extraordinary in its scope, extent, and intent” during the trial and stated in his filing that Mann knew that he and his team provided the jury with false information about how much grant funding he truly missed out on due to the alleged defamation. |

Billion EPA Slush Fund Thomas Gallatin How much of the climate cult is really just about money? “Get the money out as fast as possible before they [the Trump administration] come in. … It’s like we’re on the Titanic and we’re throwing gold bars off the edge,” former EPA advisor Brent Efron was caught saying in an undercover video captured by Project Veritas. That statement, which Efron’s lawyer quickly dismissed as him simply expressing his “personal views,” adding that his client “had nothing to do with" how EPA funding was administered, is nonetheless proving to be accurate. At least $20 billion of what amounts to an EPA slush fund went to a number of suspect nonprofit organizations that appear to have been created simply for the purpose of receiving the funding. |

| Trump Administration Unveils
Sweeping Environment Rollbacks President Donald Trump's administration on Wednesday announced a wave of environmental rollbacks targeting Biden-era green policies, including carbon limits on power plants, tailpipe emissions standards and protections for waterways. The 31 actions are part of what Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin called "the greatest and most consequential day of deregulation in U.S. history," as he promised to "unleash American energy" and "revitalize the American auto industry." Among the most significant of them is revisiting a 2024 rule that requires coal-fired plants to eliminate nearly all their carbon emissions or commit to shutting down altogether, a cornerstone of former Democratic president Joe Biden's climate agenda. |

My captors’ cause is just. We have the Republicans on the run.

| Tesla,
Musk Derangement, and Civil Terrorism Douglas Andrews Somewhere out there, there’s a meme telling you to go back and find your 2016 self and let him know that Donald Trump just bought a Tesla and that the ecofascist Left is firebombing the dealerships of the world’s most climate-friendly car manufacturer. Strange days, indeed. Donald Trump did just buy a Tesla – very publicly – as a show of support for his friend Elon Musk, the “heretic” whose efforts to root out government fraud, waste, and abuse via the Department of Government Efficiency have earned him the unmitigated enmity of the Left. As Musk told Joe Rogan recently, “At this point, I think I’m at the top of the list for a lot of homicidal maniacs. They’re doing the same thing to me that they did to Trump, which is that they’re making it sound like if you kill me, you’re a hero.” |

| Trump Administration Slashes
Millions More in Grants to Columbia The Trump administration on Friday slashed additional grants to Columbia University totaling approximately $30 million, the Washington Free Beacon has learned. The administration is in the process of reviewing the totality of Columbia’s $5 billion in federal funding, and the fresh round of cuts comes on the heels of the administration’s decision to cancel $400 million in grants and contracts to the Ivy League school announced earlier this month. At the time, the Trump administration’s Joint Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism said the initial cuts constituted "the first round of action" and that additional cuts were expected to follow as the review continued. Columbia Activist Who Endorsed Hamas's 'Anticolonial Liberation Movement' Self-Deports After Trump Admin Pulls Visa A Columbia University doctoral student who expressed support for the "anticolonial liberation movement in Palestine" used the Trump administration’s revamped "CBP Home" app to self-deport to Canada about a week after Secretary of State Marco Rubio revoked her student visa, the Department of Homeland Security announced Friday.

University leaders must do better,” said Secretary of Education Linda McMahon. “U.S. colleges and universities benefit from enormous public investments funded by U.S. taxpayers. That support is a privilege and it is contingent on scrupulous adherence to federal antidiscrimination laws.” |
