Earlier this week, the House Judiciary Committee passed a bill HR 38, a bill that allows licensed concealed firearm holders to carry in other states that allow concealed carry.

However, for Rep. Thomas Massie, R-KY, this bill does not go far enough. On X, he said “ I support this bill, but there is a better option, and it is National Constitutional Carry.” 

He added, “29 states already have Constitutional (i.e. permitless) Carry. Why not extend it to all 50 states?” 

Constitutional carry is the simple concept that any lawful individual can carry a firearm without having to ask the government for permission.

Under HR 38, Massie noted that residents of constitutional carry states can carry firearms in any state that issues permits to its citizens. The recent Bruen Supreme Court decision requires all non-constitutional carry states to issue carry permits.

Massie highlighted how when HR 38 passes, residents of the 29 constitutional carry states will be able to carry in all 50 states without a permit. Though paradoxically, residents of the 21 states without constitutional carry will need permits in their own states, while visitors from constitutional carry states won’t.

In the Kentucky congressman’s view, if Congress can mandate California to allow permit-less carry for out-of-state visitors based on the Second Amendment, it only makes sense to extend this right to California residents as well.

Massie posed the following question: “Why not pass national constitutional carry and afford everyone in the United States the right to ‘bear arms’ which is enshrined in the Constitution?”

He also called attention to how HR 38 may create a situation where a Kentucky resident could carry an AR-15 pistol with a 20-round magazine in California, while Californians themselves cannot own or carry such equipment. This appears to contradict the framework established by the Supreme Court decision in DC v. Heller.

In contrast, Massie’s proposed national constitutional carry bill stipulates that if a state allows possession of a particular firearm, it must also allow the carry of said firearm.

He introduced this bill as a substitute amendment to HR 38 in committee but withdrew it to avoid forcing his colleagues to choose between National Reciprocity and National Constitutional Carry. The current consensus is that HR 38 can pass the House, while Constitutional Carry may not have sufficient support.

Pro-gun organizations such as the National Association for Gun Rights are firmly behind Massie’s Constitutional Carry bill. NAGR President Dudley Brown tweeted, “Massie’s bill is INFINITELY better than *smirk* John Cornyn’s.”

President Trump’s supporters have denounced the federal judges seeking to stall or stop this administration’s government overhaul. But there is at least one person who, despite a show of outrage and condemnation, is neither surprised nor intimidated: Trump himself.

The politically appointed judges have ordered, among other actions, that federal agencies reinstate thousands of fired probationary employees; that billions of taxpayer dollars be paid to questionable USAID projects and contractors; and that foreign-born criminals deported to their native countries be returned and granted due process. Regardless of the legal merits, the American people recognize these orders as obstructions to what Trump said he would do if elected, and what voters elected him to do. Yet the judges’ resistance is expected—they’re bound up in and rewarded by the system Trump seeks to reform.

Two-thirds of Americans believe the “system” is broken, but for years progressive politicians and their mouthpieces posited that the system couldn’t be fixed. Intellectuals on the Left, including New York Times columnist David Brooks, said America’s flaws were “systemic” in nature: systemic racism, systemic sexism, and systemic injustice. They whined and preached but offered no solutions for the millions of Americans of all races and both genders struggling and failing to unlock their potential to succeed.

When Trump announced his candidacy for president in 2015, he too claimed the system was broken, but not because we are racist or sexist by nature, but because the system itself is old, soft, and corrupt, with leaders grown unresponsive to the people they are supposed to serve. That core belief guided his first term and remains unchanged at the start of his second.

For decades, politicians failed to respond to real problems because their agendas, even their identities, were phony, crafted by consultants and pollsters who aimed not for the truth, but for whichever lies or provocations were most efficacious in winning the next election. But one need not resort to craven and conspiratorial explanations of this sort, which hint that elected officials deliberately ignore the public will. The truth is simpler. They have to ignore voters, if only because they have no idea how to fix the problems we face.

The South African Constitutional Court has rejected a lawsuit by civil rights org AfriForum against the song “Kill the Boer” as sung by the Marxist “Economic Freedom Fighters”, saying it has “no reasonable prospects of success.” The Trump administration has cut all aid and military assistance to South Africa over its blatantly racist and discriminatory laws.

According to the Sunday Times, the Trump administration has cut military assistance and cooperation with the South African National Defence Force (SANDF), expelling its military attache Brigadier Gen. Richard Maponyane. The paper cited a memo dated March 13 from the US State Department to Aaron Harding, the CFO of America’s Defense Security Co-operation Agency (DCSA). Any South African military personnel in the US for training will be sent back to South Africa ASAP, Business Insider reported.

The Trump administration announced it was suspending US aid to South Africa February 8 over its race-based expropriation law and persecution of ethnic minorities. South Africa’s US Ambassador Ebrahim Rasool was kicked out of the USA after accusing US President Donald Trump of leading a “global white supremacy movement.”

A 42-year-old man was shot and fatally wounded near Atlanta’s State Farm Arena just before Friday’s NCAA Sweet Sixteen game between Michigan State and Ole Miss.

FOX News reported the man was from Charlotte, North Carolina.

FOX 5 noted the man “was initially reported dead but was revived and being cared for in the ICU at Grady Memorial Hospital.” However, he succumbed to his wounds a short a time later.

It is believed the man “approached a group of people, who were gathered on a sidewalk, and exchanged words with the group before gunfire erupted.”

No suspects are in custody in connection with the shooting but there does appear to be surveillance video of the area in which the shooting occurred.

Under the feckless and corrupt leadership of RINO House Speaker Dustin Burrows, the Texas House of Representatives has descended into absolute lawlessness.

On Friday, the House chamber was scheduled to convene, but what unfolded was not democracy in action—it was a brazen sham orchestrated by the very person sworn to uphold the Constitution.

Speaker Burrows, a so-called “Republican,” was caught red-handed falsifying quorum by counting 40 absent lawmakers as “present” in a desperate attempt to ram through proceedings in violation of Texas law.

The Texas Constitution is clear: Two-thirds, or 100 members, must be present to establish a quorum in the 150-member chamber. And yet, Speaker Burrows, in full-blown swamp mode, attempted to manipulate the electronic voting system to fake quorum numbers, allowing business to continue unlawfully.

Democrats unleashed their coordinated, NGO-driven color revolution—dubbed the ‘Tesla Takedown‘—nationwide on Saturday, though it unfolded in a notably unimpressive fashion.

The days of million-man (or woman) marches, usually bankrolled with taxpayer dollars funneled through now-defunct USAID, appear to be over, as their ability to sway national sentiment has diminished significantly. Still, these dark and corrupt NGOs receive monies from leftist billionaires, as we’ve previously reported.

I.e., angry old white liberals 

As the protests wound down by late Saturday, Elon Musk took to X, quoting a Joe Rogan podcast that called out Democrats for their rent-a-protester tactics. Musk asked: “Who is funding and organizing all these paid protests?” 

On Friday, the far-left revolutionaries behind Tesla Takedown began mobilizing their far-left agitators aligned with the Democratic Party. Soros-linked organizations like Indivisible have been linked to yesterday’s “Global Day of Action” against Tesla …

The Tesla Takedown website links to The Action Network—an online platform used by shady far-left NGOs to organize and fundraise—which shows that groups like Troublemakers and the Disruption Project led yesterday’s efforts to “tank Tesla’s stock” and destroy shareholder value.

So, is Donald Trump’s tariff policy going to harm workers? No doubt, some layoffs will occur, leading to the snobby elites of the Democratic Party engaging in deranged schadenfreude, which will only sink them further with a voter bloc that they need to win back to be competitive in elections again. Democrats have no working people in their ranks, which is why they hate them so much, but I digress.

We already know what’s going to happen: there might be some layoffs, the fake news press will interview them, undoubtedly getting a soundbite they can use to weaponize against the White House, and the Trump domestic agenda will be put on blast. And yes, deranged liberals are taking to Reddit to laugh at people who lost their jobs. Not so fast, educated faux philosopher-kings, DOGE can make your jobs obsolete, regardless of what these little judges say. There’s no stopping DOGE. Are Trump’s tariffs good or bad? The market right now is unsure, but one thing is certain: The United Auto Workers Union is very much for them.

It shows how politics can make for interesting intersections among people and policy. UAW President Shawn Fain knew his rank-and-file backed Donald Trump, but he endorsed Kamala Harris anyway. Now, he took to the Sunday Morning talk shows to endorse Trump’s tariff policy, which obliterates the Left’s fledgling narrative that there’s buyer’s remorse out there because of this initiative. On Face the Nation, Fain told Major Garrett that a lot of manufacturing jobs in his sector that were shipped to Mexico could return to American soil quickly (via RealClearPolitics):

MAJOR GARRETT: Let’s get back to tariffs and the auto industry. Peter Navarro, a top adviser to the president on trade, says that currently, automobile manufacturing plants are at about 60% capacity. He argues that there’s lots of untapped capacity, meaning jobs could be created relatively easy, and you wouldn’t need to spend two or three or maybe five years building new factories. Is that your understanding? Is that your belief?

SHAWN FAIN: He’s spot on. Look, we have a situation right now in Warren, Michigan, where 2,000 workers were laid off this past year. They built the Ram truck there for years under Stellantis, and Stellantis made a decision to shift that production to Mexico. They could shift that work back in very short order and be producing Ram trucks right back there and put those people back to work. […]

Margaret Thatcher once reminded us, “You’d be surprised at what a few dedicated patriots will do to make their country a better place to live in. In fact, they are the only people who try to do so!”

America was not founded but invented by a group of Enlightenment thinkers who studied classical past governments in order to create a perfect union of independent colonies. It was fashioned by a small group of patriots led by Thomas Paine in reaction to abuse from the King of England and demands put upon them by the British army. The United States was the first government formed under the principles of Enlightenment that man could self-govern and correct his imperfect flaws.

You have to have been asleep at the wheel for the last century to understand why those on the left, who have been complaining most about government waste, are now chastising President Donald Trump for creating an agency to cut down on government waste. Instead of welcoming this new found pool of in-house detectives, headed by one of the most efficient businessmen in history, Elon Musk, most everyone on the left is assailing DOGE, The Department of Government Efficiency.

At one time in our history, daily news reporters were hailed as watchdogs of government for the people. Regrettably, those watchdogs turned into lapdogs when they saw the benefit of protecting rather than exposing government corruption. No matter how much people complained, especially on the left about government waste and corruption, nothing has been done to halt worldwide media infection.

A bus driver opened fire and killed two passengers aboard his vehicle in Miami, Florida.

The shooting occurred early Sunday morning on a Miami-Dade County Transit bus outside a shopping plaza on the corner of Miami Gardens Drive and Northwest Seventh Avenue.

Police in Miami Gardens roped off the entire shopping plaza near where the bus was parked, Local10 reported.

Officers responded to a 911 call at around 3am.

Investigators said the bus driver got into an argument of some sort with passengers who were onboard.

During the disagreement, the driver pulled out a gun and shot two male passengers, both of whom were rushed to HCA Florida Aventura Hospital by helicopter in critical condition, police said.

Both men died of their injuries, police added. It’s not yet clear what precipitated the argument that led to the shooting.

The bus driver is being detained by officers as an investigation into the shooting unfolds. It’s unclear if the driver will face any charges, and it’s not known whether any of the passengers were armed.

(Zero Hedge)—More than 50% of parents with a child older than 18 are providing them with at least some financial support, according to a recent report by savings.com.

Key findings from the report:

  • Half of parents with adult children provide regular financial assistance to their grown offspring. The average support per adult child is $1,474 monthly, about 6% higher than last year.
  • 83% of supporting parents contribute to their adult kids’ monthly groceries65% help with cell phones, and nearly half (46%) pay for vacations.
  • More than three-quarters (77%) of supportive parents attach conditions to their financial assistance. 23% give money without any conditions.
  • Nearly 50 percent of parents have sacrificed their financial security to help their grown kids financially, and most supporting parents feel obligated to help their kids with money.
  • Working parents who support grown kids contribute over 2X more money each month to their adult children than they do to retirement funds.

As savings.com continues, with inflation keeping the cost of living high, parents’ financial support has reached a new peak, averaging nearly $1,500 per month (or almost $18,000 annually). This represents a six percent increase from the monthly contributions we reported last year.

As you might expect, Generation Z adults (ages 18-28) receive more financial support from their parents than their Millennial counterparts (ages 29-44), who’ve had more time to build careers and establish income streams. While the average contribution to Millennials decreased slightly, a significant increase in support for Generation Zers pushed the overall average higher. Members of Generation X (ages 45-60) rarely receive financial assistance from their parents, likely because they’ve either achieved financial independence or have inherited family wealth.

Mail call: Time To Privatize the USPS

The United States Postal Service “lost $9.5 billion shuffling paper around the country in fiscal year 2024” and is projecting another “$6.9 billion loss in fiscal year 2025,” so The Free Press’ Charles Lane wonders, “would privatization be so terrible?” Our “peer nations, including Germany, Japan, Britain, Portugal and the Netherlands, have adopted postal privatization.” Today’s system just doesn’t work: Americans send “one another six billion text messages daily. Half the people surveyed in 2021 hadn’t received a personal letter in five years; 14 percent had never received one.” “This is the age of drones, driverless vehicles, and artificial intelligence. If there’s any part of the federal apparatus that could use a dose of radical disruption, it’s the postal service.”

From the right: The Leak Double Standard

“By all means, let’s talk about ‘leaks’ in the wake of [last] week’s Signal fiasco,” quips The Wall Street Journal’s Kimberley A. Strassel. Yes, “Washington should be concerned that Trump officials blunderingly added a journalist to a Yemen war-planning chat.” But “Compare that with the torrent of leaks that began in the runup to Mr. Trump’s first election.” They ranged from a “scandalous, fact-free ‘dossier’ on fake Trump-Russia collusion” to Jared Kushner’s security clearance. The Senate found “125 news articles containing leaked government information potentially damaging to national security in the first four months of Mr. Trump’s term.” “Hallelujah” that the left and the media “think leaks are a problem,” but until they join with GOP electeds fighting against leaks it’s just one more double standard.

Mideast desk: Why Trump Can’t Beat Houthis

“Attacking the Houthis, who have always given Tehran a big strategic bang for their buck, isn’t likely to cause significant long-term damage,” argues Reuel Marc Gerecht at UnHerd. Indeed, our sparse attacks “are likely refortifying an old Iranian doctrine: that the Islamic Republic’s enemies are willing to attack the clerical regime’s proxies, but not Iran directly.” “Until Iranian supplies are cut off directly, check-mating the Houthis is impossible. “The US and allied navies” are “unlikely to do better until the United States is willing to attack Iranian ports — the primary entrepôts for the Houthis.” Yet “Trump still believes that a nuclear deal with Khamenei is possible. And until he abandons this idea, he’ll likely have no more success against the Houthis than his predecessor.”

(End of the American Dream)—It is being reported that an unknown disease that causes people to “cough up blood” has spread to multiple cities in Russia.  When I first heard reports that this was happening, I wasn’t sure what to make of it.  But now more media outlets are reporting on this mystery disease, and the new reports that I am seeing are extremely alarming.

Of course it is entirely possible that this is a naturally occurring illness, but since Russia is involved in a very bitter war with Ukraine we cannot ignore the possibility that some sort of a biological agent has been released inside Russia.  Since the U.S. has been very heavily involved in running the war in Ukraine from the very beginning, will the U.S. be blamed if the Russians ultimately determine that a biological weapon of some sort has been used?

According to the Daily Mail, in addition to “leaving patients coughing up blood”, this mystery illness also produces an extremely high fever…

A mystery outbreak that is leaving patients coughing up blood and with a severe fever has been reported in Russia.

Local media and social media posts say the illness begins with Covid-like symptoms such as weakness or muscle aches.

But within five days, these progress to a fever of up to 102.2F (39C) and a persistent, bloody cough.

We are being told that victims are testing negative “for Covid and the flu”, and cases are popping up in numerous Russian cities…

Posts on Telegram, the Russian messaging service, say cases have been reported in multiple cities, but officials have not confirmed how many cases or hospitalizations have been recorded.

The posts also claim that patients have tested negative for Covid and the flu, with doctors said to be writing down a diagnosis of ‘acute upper respiratory tract infection of unspecified origin.’

This story has created so much buzz that the Russians were forced to address it.

At this stage, the Russians are claiming that nothing unusual is going on…

Governor Wes Moore (D-MD) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that he found it “deeply disrespectful” that President Donald Trump was allegedly attempting to erase black history by removing “improper ideology” from federal institutions.

Host Dana Bash said, “I want to ask you about an executive order that President Trump signed this week. He put Vice President Vance in charge of removing, ‘improper ideology from the Smithsonian Institution, museums.’ The order specifically calls out the African-American history and culture museum. Now, you are the only black governor currently serving, only the third ever elected. What do you make of that order?”

Moore said, “I just find it deeply disrespectful that their definition of making America great again is actually challenging some of the things that makes America great in the first place, that we are an ecosystem where we’ve invited people from all around the world to be part of this larger American journey. Loving your country does not mean lying about its history. Loving your country does not mean diminishing those who have helped to make this country so powerful and make America so unique in world history in the first place. So we have got to put a core focus not on eliminating nor erasing history, but on lifting it up, on celebrating it, on understanding that the American mosaic is big and it’s broad and it’s beautiful.”

‘I had no idea. I thought I’d have to wait longer for the imminent collapse,’ the political operative said

Democratic strategist James Carville thinks the Trump administration has collapsed in less than three months.

During a recent appearance on CNN host Michael Smerconish’s program, Carville declared that President Donald Trump’s second term had become a failure sooner than he predicted it would.

“I had no idea. I thought I’d have to wait longer for the imminent collapse. It happened even faster than I could imagine,” the former Bill Clinton advisor said.

Smerconish brought up the topic, mentioning Carville’s recent prediction in The New York Times that the Trump administration would fall apart.  In a February op-ed, Carville advised the Democratic Party to play dead and wait for the collapse.

“Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is retreat on the immediate battlefield — and advance in another direction,” he said. “It won’t take long. Public support for this administration will fall through the floorboard. It’s already happening.”

Smerconish questioned Carville, wondering why it matters that Trump may be losing some approval numbers, if Democratic approval ratings are at some of their lowest points in modern history.

The strategist countered by saying that the left can take advantage of the moment either way. “Well, first of all, this is a glorious opportunity for the Democratic Party to redefine itself, to take this as what it is, and apparently some people in the news media are not — it’s the gravest crisis we’ve had in the United States in the last 80 years.”

‘The Voters want them OUT, and said so in Record Numbers’

PALM BEACH, Florida – President Donald Trump is again blasting left-leaning judges who are taking extraordinary measures to thwart his deportations of violent criminal illegal aliens.

“People are shocked by what is going on with the Court System,” Trump said Sunday on Truth Social.

“I was elected for many reasons, but a principal one was LAW AND ORDER, a big part of which is QUICKLY removing a vast Criminal Network of individuals, who came into our Country through the Crooked Joe Biden Open Borders Policy!

“These are dangerous and violent people, who kill, maim and, in many other ways, harm the people of our Country. The Voters want them OUT, and said so in Record Numbers.

“If it was up to District Judge Boasberg and other Radical Left Judges, nobody would be removed, the President wouldn’t be allowed to do his job, and people’s lives would be devastated all throughout our Country. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

The Republican congresswoman who’s leading a task force on the declassification of JFK and other assassination files made a sensational claim on Friday evening, stating that NBC News possesses film evidence proving that Lee Harvey Oswald could not have shot Kennedy — and that she’s now working to obtain it.

Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna made the jarring allegation in an interview with Jesse Watters on Fox News. Luna is chairwoman of the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, a subcommittee of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. She told Watters that the task force will be holding an April 1 hearing on the tens of thousands of documents that have been declassified pursuant to President Trump’s executive order and a 1992 act of Congress.

Cameras captured Lee Harvey Oswald’s assassin, Jack Ruby (top right) posing as a reporter at Oswald’s midnight press conference on Nov 22 1963. Ruby killed Oswald two days later. 

Then she dropped her bombshell:

“It was made aware to me this evening that NBC actually has a video that’s never been seen before. We’re actually going to be sending a letter requesting that from NBC because it allegedly shows Oswald near the vehicle when the assassination took place, which means that he couldn’t have been the shooter.”

Luna also said Oliver Stone, who directed the 1991 thriller JFK, says he’s seen a “secondary copy” of the film, and that NBC has been sitting on it:

“Director Stone actually told us that he was shown this tape, that it was a secondary copy, and that he said that this could blow open the entire JFK investigation. What I will also tell you though, Jesse, is he said the NBC’s been very, very much so guarding this tape. And so I believe that that tape belongs to the American people. We are going to be sending a letter asking for that tape. And I would encourage everyone to ask NBC to release that tape to the public.”

Bedlam, Pending

You understand, all these lawsuit shenanigans with select federal judges from Woke-crazed districts like Boston, San Francisco, Rhode Island, and the DC Beltway are aimed at provoking a second civil war. The objective is to burden Mr. Trump with so many restrictions on the executive that the country can’t be governed without declaring a national emergency.

This is the Democratic Party’s desperate strategy to stay alive: to preserve the flow of taxpayer money to its minions stuffed into the organs of government like cancer cells, and the vast network of NGOs that employ its agents and spread its sickness. The Democratic Party is a malignancy within the republic and the money is the blood-flow that feeds it.

DOGE is the chemotherapy that has starved some of the worst tumors, such as USAID. Chemotherapy is always hard on the patient. Cancer is a very tough and resourceful enemy of a healthy body, and fights back by any means available. Ultimately, it seeks to kill the body it has come to inhabit — in this case, the body-politic of the USA. We are fighting for the life of our republic against a demonic enemy.

The Democratic Party displays exactly the characteristics that human beings traditionally associate with pure evil. Above all, it lies about everything that it does. It lies, of course, in order to deceive you, so that you won’t understand how it is working to vanquish you and your posterity (your kids and their future). RussiaGate, Covid-19, the Ukraine War, all were marinated in lies. The lies operate through the perversion of language, so you won’t understand what is being said. For instance: that the Democratic Party is working to save our democracy. That howler persists in their every public performance.

The Democratic Party controls the major organs of information: The New York Times, CNN, Hollywood. They are the conveyers of lies, bamboozling the body politic to divide and conquer it. The Democratic party is a bad faith legion enlisted to defend the Father-of-Lies, America’s Deep State (a.k.a. the blob). That information regime is failing now along with the Democratic Party. The Deep State is failing with them. They are the parasites that kills its host. They intend to kill the republic as they go down.

The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) is supposed to function like an immune system for the body politic, defending it against political sickness. The current organized action in the federal judiciary against the executive is a grave sickness induced by the Deep State that must be corrected by the SCOTUS. We await that corrective action — a sweeping decision in reply to 100-plus lawsuits — that the chief executive is in-charge of the executive department and that his prerogatives to manage the staffing and actions of the executive agencies can’t be arrogated by federal judges.

The US Agency for International Development (USAID) has been officially shuttered after a federal appeals court Friday determined that the Trump administration could continue dismantling it.

The ruling nullifies a lower court ruling that found that Elon Musk and DOGE were exercising enough independent authority to require Senate confirmation under the Constitution’s Appointments Clause.

“While defendants’ role and actions related to USAID are not conventional, unconventional does not necessarily equal unconstitutional,” wrote US Circuit Judge Marvin Quattlebaum, a Trump appointee. “And none of this is to say that plaintiffs will not be able to develop evidence of unconstitutional conduct as the case progresses. Time will tell,” he continued.

USAID was one of DOGE’s first targets. In addition to finding all sorts of waste, fraud and abuse, America First Legal found last week that USAID was behind an online censorship scheme. 

A week before that, a senior USAID official ordered the agency’s remaining staff to report to their now-former headquarters in Washington DC for an “all day” group effort to destroy documents, many of which contain sensitive information.

After DOGE cleaned house, 26 current and former USAID employees sued – arguing that Elon Musk and DOGE have no actual independent authority. Earlier this month, US District Judge Theodore Chuang, an Obama appointee, indefinitely blocked Musk and DOGE personnel from shutting down the agency.

On Friday’s “Alex Marlow Show,” Breitbart News Senior Contributor and Government Accountability Institute President Peter Schweizer discussed the origins of lawfare.

Schweizer stated, “The whole concept of lawfare was we’re going to go after terrorists, we’re going to try to tie up their assets overseas, we’re going to try to sue companies that they’re connected with, we’re going to harass them through the legal system. And the problem is, under Barack Obama and his National Security Division of the Justice Department, they decided, hey, we can use this against al-Qaeda, why can’t we use this against our domestic political opponents in the United States? So, it’s morphed into this thing that has become domestic lawfare.”

“The Alex Marlow Show,” hosted by Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow, is a weekday podcast produced by Breitbart News and Salem Podcast Network. You can subscribe to the podcast on YouTubeRumbleApple Podcasts, and Spotify.

Following sleazy Democratic Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett’s disheartening remarks about the Texas Governor’s wheelchair-bound condition, GOP analyst Scott Jennings offered some words of advice to the far-left-leaning panel during Tuesday’s edition of CNN NewsNight:

I don’t know how Democrats appointed Jasmine Crockett as the unquestioned leader of your party, but thank God.

And I think what she should do is go on TV twice as much – maybe three times as much – because everytime she appears – makes these mistakes – says something radical – it only further divides her party from the other 80% of America who can’t stand this – but the problem is – there’s an audience for this.

I heard Jimmy Kimmel’s audience cheering on Tesla vandalism; I hear that The Daily Show’s audience on a tax on Elon Musk; I hear the Human Right’s audience cheering on an attack on a man in a wheelchair.

And I realize this is what the left has become: an angry mob of people who are cheering on attacks on a guy in a wheelchair and vandalism against people who bought a Tesla … it’s pathetic.

On X, Jennings wrote that Crockett “will learn no lessons from the “Hot Wheels” episode because the Left’s angry mobs eat this stuff up,” adding, “Trust me: the unquestioned head of the Democratic Party thinks is a winning vector.” 

Jennings is entirely correct: The far-left has chosen the path of hate and violence, while the latest polling data from NBC News and CNN shows the party has hit its lowest approval ratings on record: 27% and 29%, respectively.

Things you never thought you’d see: the far-left New York Times actually making sense. Although they’re the last place you’d go if you wanted the truth or journalism free of wanton progressive bias, they applied the broken clock strategy and got something right with this headline Saturday:

The Democrats Are in Denial About 2024

Yes, yes, they are, as we’ve reported extensively. The Times acts like an innocent bystander to the tragedy, as if they haven’t been among the left’s staunchest cheerleaders in modern times and constantly pushed the radical progressivism they’re suddenly distancing themselves from.

Remember the meme of Homer Simpson trying to make himself invisible by shrinking into a hedge? The Grey Lady, acting like NPCs (non-playing characters), is trying to shrink away from the destruction and disinformation in which they were deeply involved. Get this gaslighting drivel:

One of their most ludicrous suggestions is that the Dems admit they lied about struggled with the issue of Biden’s obvious deterioration. “They should admit that their party mishandled Mr. Biden’s age,” the legacy outlet argued.

Of course, the Grey Lady was all-in on dismissing Biden’s cognitive abilities—memo: it wasn’t his “age” that was the problem, NYT—and trying to convince us that Kamala Harris was the bestest candidate ever. They’ve been preaching to their “elite” readership for decades about the virtues of leftism, so much so

Nearly 5,000 voter registrations in the city of Milwaukee have been legally challenged for irregularities, potential fraud, and blatant violations of state and federal law.

The comprehensive legal filing, submitted by concerned citizens Justin Gavery and Joe Nolan, exposes what many conservatives have warned about for years: a broken election system ripe for abuse.

The challenge, backed by the federal Help America Vote Act (HAVA) and a long list of Wisconsin statutes, calls on the Milwaukee Election Commission (MEC) to investigate and take immediate action on 4,878 questionable voter records.

According to the document obtained by Just the News, all of these individuals cast ballots in the November 5th, 2025 national election.

Chaos erupted in a Tennessee House Criminal Justice Subcommittee meeting Wednesday when far-left State Representative Justin J. Pearson (D-Memphis) lunged at a Republican colleague in a fit of rage, hurling insults and pointing fingers—literally—after his anti-gun bill went down in flames.

The showdown started when Pearson pushed his latest gun-grabbing scheme, HB 1392, a bill that would’ve gutted Tennessee’s permitless carry law—a hard-won victory for Second Amendment patriots.

Under current law, law-abiding Tennesseans can carry firearms without jumping through bureaucratic hoops, a right Pearson wanted to strip away.

Thankfully, the committee saw through the nonsense and crushed the bill in a 7-2 vote, according to NBC39.

ANNAPOLIS, MD — Governor Wes Moore today released the following statement regarding President Trump’s executive order ending federal workers’ collective bargaining rights.

“Maryland will always have the backs of working people and organized labor. And amid the draconian federal cuts impacting public servants across our state, our partnership with organized labor has become more important than ever. In Maryland, we will continue to fight to protect collective bargaining rights, ensure fair wages and benefits, and secure better working conditions for all Marylanders.

At a time when people are asking if government can work for them, the Trump-Vance Administration has stood firmly in aggressive opposition to the very people who deliver the results. These continued attacks on the federal workforce have already led to countless jobs lost, countless lives disrupted, and a drastic hit to Maryland’s economy. The Trump-Vance Administration continues to take direct shots at our people and our economic momentum; we will not stand by and take it.

We will continue to be Maryland Strong because we will continue to be Union Strong. We are mobilizing to ensure that displaced federal workers have a home in our state—where they will always be recognized and rewarded fairly for the work they do in service of our citizens.”

Chairwoman of the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) ) has publicly accused NBC of withholding critical evidence in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

During a recent interview on Fox News, Rep. Luna claimed that an unreleased video, which allegedly depicts Lee Harvey Oswald away from the infamous Texas School Book Depository at the time of Kennedy’s assassination, is in the possession of NBC News.

According to Rep. Luna, this video shows Oswald near JFK’s limousine when the shots were fired in Dallas, a claim that, if verified, would make it physically impossible for him to have been the shooter from the sixth floor of the Depository.

The congresswoman mentioned plans to formally request this footage from NBC, stressing the importance of transparency and accountability in this long-standing national mystery.

Court delivers crushing blow to Left’s lawfare: Rules in favor of DOGE, Musk

The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals delivered a decisive blow to the left’s relentless lawfare on Friday.

The court granted an emergency stay, suspending a lower court’s absurd preliminary injunction that sought to hamstring Elon Musk, the United States DOGE Service, and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from carrying out their mission to streamline a bloated and inefficient government—starting with the outdated United States Agency for International Development (USAID).

The original ruling, handed down by a Maryland district court on March 18 by Judge Theodore Chuang, was a textbook case of judicial overreach, cheered on by 26 anonymous USAID bureaucrats desperate to cling to their cushy government gigs.

The Biden Energy Department failed to release study to Congress or the public, Trump admin officials say

FIRST ON FOX – The Biden administration buried for more than a year a final draft report that failed to prove that an increase in U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminals was linked to a meaningful impact on greenhouse gas emissions, according to a copy of the findings, exclusively previewed to Fox News Digital.

The Biden administration stalled the release of the information, senior Trump administration officials told Fox News Digital, delaying sharing the data with House Oversight Committee Republicans. The Daily Caller News Foundation first reported that the Biden administration “intentionally buried” the study.

The impact that new U.S. LNG exports had on the environment and the economy had been reviewed by U.S. Energy Department scientists and federal contractors, who by September 2023 had completed their work and had a draft final report ready for publication.

Fox News independently reviewed a copy of that draft study, titled, “Energy, Economic, and Environmental Assessment of U.S. LNG Exports.” That report and its findings were slated for publication in 2023 — months before then-President Joe Biden, who was still seeking re-election at the time, announced a pause on all new U.S. LNG export terminals in January 2024, citing the need to better consider environmental and economic impacts.

Joe Rogan, in a new episode of his Joe Rogan Experience podcast, slammed the Democrats for “organizing gangs” of supporters to attend rallies and protests where they receive instructions for engaging in violence. 

The episode with comedian Francis Foster and political commentator Konstantin Kisin aired Saturday on Rogan’s YouTube page.

Rogan’s comments come in response to violent Tesla protests and vandalism across the nation and recent astroturf rallies featuring Bernie Sanders and AOC.

According to data scientist and entrepreneur Tony Seruga, Bernie Sanders and AOC’s claim that 34,000 supporters turned out in Denver, Colorado for their “fighting oligarchy” rally is disproven by cell phone GBP data, which shows only about 20,000 devices in the area. Additionally, “84% of the devices present had attended 9 or more Kamala Harris rallies, antifa/blm, pro-Hamas, pro-Palestinian protests, 31% had attended over 20,” Segura said.

Comptroller Brooke Lierman announced that the State of Maryland closed its books on fiscal 2023 with an unassigned general fund balance of $555 million.

According to the Closeout Report, Maryland closes fiscal 2023 with a general fund balance of $2.584 billion. Of this amount, the General Assembly allocated $2.392 billion for fiscal 2024 operations. Previous estimates made in March by the Board of Revenue Estimates were within 2/10th of a percent of the Closeout Report.

“The Closeout Report closely follows revenue forecasts made in March by the Board of Revenue Estimates, signaling that Maryland’s economy remains stable but is experiencing some challenges, including the effects of national inflation, with a disproportionate impact being felt by our families making low- to moderate-incomes,” Comptroller Lierman said.

“Overall, the labor market has been resilient, as withholding income tax revenues increased by more than 5 percent in the fiscal year,” said Director of the Bureau of Revenue Estimates, Robert Rehrmann. “Maryland’s economic growth slowed, but remained positive, as the Federal Reserve raised interest rates to reduce inflation. Sales tax revenue growth slowed, showing that many low- and moderate-income Marylanders needed to use the savings they had accumulated during the pandemic to offset the rising prices for necessities.”

In the fiscal 2022 Closeout Report, Maryland reported a $2 billion unassigned fund balance, and in the fiscal 2021 Closeout Report, Maryland had a $2.5 billion unassigned fund balance. Both years’ balances reflect federal stimulus funding that significantly increased personal and business income and expanded consumer spending. In fiscal 2020, Maryland reported a $585.8 million unassigned fund balance.

President Trump downplayed concerns that his forthcoming round of 25% tariffs on all foreign-made vehicles will cause prices on those automobiles to spike, arguing that it will be a boon for American-made autos.

Last week, Trump announced plans to slap 25% tariffs against vehicles made outside the US as part of his “Liberation Day” push on April 2, in which he intends to pursue a raft of “reciprocal” tariffs.

“No, I couldn’t care less, because if the prices on foreign cars go up, they’re going to buy American cars,” Trump told NBC News in a phone interview.

A Trump aide later clarified that the president’s comments brushing aside price hikes were specific to foreign-made vehicles. The auto tariff is set to go fully into effect on April 3.

The scene unfolds outside the tall chain-link fence surrounding the Worcester County Jail, where an unseen cameraman approaches Cpl. Caleb Foster, dressed in his brown correctional officer uniform.

“What are you doing here? You can’t be back in here,” Foster says, hands in his pockets, starting down the camera. “Want me to call the sheriff’s office and have you arrested? This is a secure facility.” The radio on his hip starts to pick up chatter.

“All due respect,” the cameraman replies, “if it’s so secure, I don’t know how I got here.”

The man recording the video is SeanPaul Reyes. Calling himself a “First Amendment auditor,” Reyes goes to public places staffed by law enforcement and pushes the boundaries of where and when he can film them.

Since 2021, Reyes has uploaded the sometimes-combative results to social media under the name “Long Island Audit.”

Reyes turned his camera lens to the Worcester County Jail the afternoon of March 16; it’s been viewed 291,000 times as of Thursday.

One of Democrats‘ biggest rising stars is just as baffled as others on why younger male voters are abandoning the party.

The 2026 midterm elections are gearing up and Democrats are desperate to gain back a majority in the House or Senate to stop Republicans railroading through every nomination and policy proposed by President Donald Trump.

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, however, struggled to give insight into why Democrats think they lost ground with specific demographics over the last few elections. But he said it probably had a lot to do with their messaging coming off as lecturing.

Asked whether the Democratic brand is ‘toxic,’ Moore deflected and said ‘this is not a new thing’ because there are policies that have not worked for people throughout time.

‘We have got to make sure that it’s not about a talking point. It’s not about what’s the right slogan. It’s about delivering results,’ Moore explained during an interview on Sunday with CNN‘s State of the Union.

‘I think about the foundation for our race in the first place,’ he went on. ‘It was young people. And a lot of it was young men, because I think we were speaking to them and not speaking at them.’

But then, the 46-year-old governor got into a confusing line of reasoning where he made mention to the male suicide rate and how that might relate to a drop off in support for Democrats.

Carrie Underwood, Brooks & Dunn, Luke Bryan and Luke Combs will headline this year’s Country Calling Festival, which will be held over the course of three days in October.

On Wednesday, C3 Presents announced the lineup for the second annual Country Calling Festival, which will take place in downtown Ocean City Oct. 3-5. The fall event will feature more than 35 artists across three stages over three days.

“We are excited to extend Country Calling to one additional day …,” Tom Perlozzo, Ocean City’s tourism and business development director, said this week. “The demand from the 2024 event has established a premiere concert and 2025 should be even more exciting.”

In addition to Carrie Underwood and Brooks & Dunn, Friday’s concert lineup will include Jon Pardi, Tyler Hubbard, Tucker Wetmore, Chase Rice, Leann Rimes, Avery Anna, John Morgan, Drew Baldridge, Luke Borchelt and Cale Tyson.

If HHS Secretary and healthy food advocate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has his way, SNAP will stand for Soda Not Allowed Period.

On Friday, Kennedy brought his “Make America Healthy Again” campaign to West Virginia, where Republican Gov. Patrick Morrisey announced that he will be seeking permission from the Department of Agriculture to put soda on the list of items that cannot be bought through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, often referred to by its former name of food stamps, according to The Washington Post.

“Taxpayer dollars should be targeted toward nutritious foods,” Morrisey said.

Kennedy issued a full-throated request for states to copy Morrisey’s lead.

“I urge every Governor to follow West Virginia’s lead and submit a waiver to the USDA to remove soda from SNAP,” Kennedy said in a statement, according to Newsweek.

Parking fees will increase throughout town, beginning next month.

Last Monday, the Ocean City Council approved a resolution, effectively increasing paid parking on streets and in municipal lots throughout town.

The fee change will take effect April 1.

Fees for the Inlet lot, as well as all on-street paid parking and parking lots located on blocks abutting the beach or Boardwalk would be set at $3.50 per hour in the shoulder season and $4.50 during the summer season. Those rates would then decrease to $2.50 per hour in the shoulder season and $3.50 during the summer season for parking spaces not adjacent to the beach or Boardwalk.

“We’re proposing to tier the parking system,” said Parking Manager Jon Anthony, “so it costs more near the beach than somewhere else.”

The legislation is part of an effort by some lawmakers to counter President Donald Trump’s deportation efforts

Maryland lawmakers considered a bill Thursday that would end cooperative agreements between local sheriff’s departments and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The legislation is part of an effort by some lawmakers to counter President Donald Trump’s deportation efforts. The bill’s supporters said they want to protect those who live in Maryland no matter where they’re from.

The bill’s sponsor, Maryland Del. Nicole Williams, D-Prince George’s County, said the Trump administration’s mass deportation efforts create fear.

“I have constituents in my district who are not sending children to school because they are afraid of what might happen if they confront an ICE officer,” Williams said.

House Bill 1222 would ban 287(g) programs, which allow ICE to collaborate with state and local law enforcement officers to perform specified immigration officer duties under the agency’s oversight.

During the online “Overtime” segment of Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” Columbia University Associate Professor and New York Times columnist John McWhorter stated that NPR should abandon its taxpayer funding.

McWhorter stated, “I love NPR. I listen to NPR almost every day, have since 1975…I love it for its point of view. But since 2020, it has no longer been general.”

He continued, “I remember, in 2021, my then-nine-year-old asked me — and, of course, she has no sense of context and I don’t pump her full of things like this — she said, … daddy, why is it that NPR is always playing the same thing? And I said, what do you mean the same thing? And I swear, she said — now she doesn’t have a vocabulary — but she said, it’s always about how somebody can’t do something. And what she was getting at was that. I wouldn’t have said that about the NPR that I knew back in the day, and I wouldn’t have said it ten years ago, but that is what it is now. I will listen to it daily. But it’s no longer a general audience venue. They should just give up national funding.”

Maryland lawmakers are scrambling to address a staggering $3.3 billion budget shortfall.

To close the gap, far-left Governor Wes Moore and activist Democrats have proposed a wave of tax hikes that would hit Marylanders’ wallets the hardest amid a deepening affordability crisis.

With power bills already skyrocketing to record highs for many folks due to backfiring and disastrous green energy policies, these same progressive lawmakers are creating even more nightmares for taxpayers—this time by proposing a tax that effectively targets sleep.

A small but vocal group of conservative Republicans in the Maryland House of Delegates were stunned on Friday when far-left Democrats pushed through HB 858—a bill that establishes a mattress stewardship program under the guise of promoting safe disposal and recycling. This is another tax on Marylanders as the state sinks into financial turmoil and elevated credit downgrade risks. The new 6% tax on mattresses is on top of the existing 6% sales tax.

Del. Mark N. Fisher (R-Calvert), one of the leaders of the Maryland House Freedom Caucus, blasted the “Sleep Tax” and asked if there would be a “snoring surcharge.”

The Montgomery County Police Department (MCPD) is implementing a phased plan to encrypt all radio channels, including dispatch, to enhance officer safety and protect the privacy of victims and witnesses.

The department states that encryption aligns with national best practices and will prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information, while recordings of radio traffic will remain available through public records requests. Darren Francke, Chief of the Patrol Services Bureau, issued the following:

“The Montgomery County Department of police is proceeding with a plan to encrypt all radio channels, to include dispatch channels. In following national best practices, the department is working to encrypt its emergency communications channels to protect potential victims and witnesses, while also enhancing officer safety. Encryption has been a national best practice for police communications since 2016 and other departments in the state, the National Capital Region and throughout the country have adopted this approach. Like other law enforcement agencies in the state of Maryland and across the country, MCPD’s move to full encryption will allow us to better protect victims and witnesses of criminal activity by ensuring the confidentiality of private information. This includes protecting the personal information of some of our residents with health challenges. Encryption helps law enforcement agencies manage the many risks associated with sensitive information in our response to a wide variety of emergency calls for service.

Currently, personally identifiable information pertaining to citizens through over-the-air criminal inquiries, traffic-stop related inquiries, and dispatch call and location history is being broadcast in the clear. Moving to encrypt our emergency communication will allow the department to take one step towards recommendations (or compliance) from the Federal Partnership for Interoperable Communications (FPIC).

Encrypted radio traffic will not only help protect potential victims and witnesses, but it will also help ensure operational, tactical, and investigative integrity for our officers. MCPD moving to encrypted radio traffic will protect its radio transmissions and remove the ability for criminals to intercept transmissions, allowing them to get detailed information on police tactics and investigative activity. There are numerous free scanner Apps available where anyone can listen to MCPD radio traffic in real time on a smartphone. The department has confirmed instances of criminal elements actively listening to department unencrypted radio channels. The department also believes that encryption will deter criminal acts such as placing SWAT’ing calls at homes of elected officials, appointed officials, business executives, and other high-profile residents in Montgomery County. These calls jeopardize the safety of responding officers and innocent/unaware residents.

The changeover has been planned and the process started. This change will be phased in over the next 60 to 90 days. It is not an all at once switch, the change goes radio by radio. What anyone with a scanner will possibly hear while the process goes on is an incomplete conversation as those who are encrypted talk to those that are not. Gradually our radio traffic on scanners will diminish until transmissions are heard no more. We will have complete recordings of all radio traffic for all MPIA or evidence needs.

MCPD will not be alone in the region as other police departments have encrypted their dispatch communications or have plans to encrypt them in the immediate future. MCPD dispatch channels will continue to be recorded and available through MPIA Requests. MCPD PIO will continue to provide timely, accurate, and transparent information on incidents throughout the county to the media and through our social media platforms. As always, MCPD will continue to build trust, balancing transparency with the safety of victims, witnesses and our officers.

You should look into “INDIVISIBLE”, a highly shady but mighty incipient organization that is bringing town halls (manufactured by outsiders pretending to be locals) to primarily conservative towns to influence voters.

Andy Harris has had a recent brush with them at a recent event in which he spoke at the Marriott in Cambridge approximately 2 weeks ago. “Protesters” (ostensibly) paraded outside the entrance to the resort, waving signs and shouting at passing motorists headed in both directions on Route 50. They shouted the usual tropes, condemning Elon Musk, Trump, and all conservative tenets in general. Outside appearances would lead you believe this was a homegrown “organic event” but further research showed that INDIVISIBLE is sponsoring these nationwide, en masse, and funding them as well. The Board of Directors are a collection glossy, well-polished professionals and their web site is big.

This is the 3rd “protest” event I’ve seen in Cambridge within the past 6 weeks. None of the folks look local or familiar to me and I roam frequently. There was a 4th event (not witnessed by me) held on Maces Lane which has a 95% black population. All the protesters were white and very conspicuously dressed – LL Bean, Patagonia, Helly Hanson coats and good shoes. Very un-Maces Lane like.

I smell a rat. And its growing.

Jasmine Crockett was not a well-known name in 2023 or really, in 2024, but she is busying herself making headlines with her bombastic and controversial remarks, clawing her way to the top of a party left in complete shambles after the last presidential election.

Crockett was first elected to her congressional seat in 2023 and served as the national co-chair of the Harris-Walz campaign, but in recent weeks, her name recognition has soared. Her controversial remarks have caught the attention of Attorney General Pam Bondi, and now she faces a censure resolution for making fun of paralyzed Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R), referring to him as “Governor Hot Wheels.”

But first, let’s back up.

Crockett began making waves on social media after Trump assumed office, signaling to everyone that she is here to “resist.” After less than a month of Trump being in office, Crockett appeared on CNN to blast the Trump administration’s efforts to get rid of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies from the federal government. During her rant, she bizarrely blamed “white supremacists” for 80 percent of the country’s violent crime.

“But the people that commit 80 percent of the most violent crimes in this country are white supremacists. Yet, for whatever reason, they sit and they serve at the pleasure of the president,” she incorrectly claimed.

It is simply amazing to me that one of the new leaders of the Democratic Party is a young former bartender from New York, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. This once again proves that you can become anything you want in the United States of America, and if you happen to be in the right place at the right time, you could take advantage of the situation.

Let’s all encourage her to do more.

The reason this is on my mind is that I came across a story over at our sister site  Hot Air and I read this: The AOC Train Wreck is Coming, and it’s Going to Be Spectacular. I thought to myself, I didn’t know AOC could drive a train, is there anything this woman cannot do?

I just checked in with her last week because she is currently on a bit of a barn-burner tour with Grandpa Bernie Sanders to promote socialist values in the new era of Trump. I thought she seemed a bit mad at the rally I watched, but not while driving a train.

The left has been losing their minds, it seems, since January 20th of this year, and Trump has been hitting the gas pedal with executive orders and DOGE cuts in an attempt to fight back against the efforts of folks like Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez.

Remember, 75 million people voted for one of the most unqualified individuals (Kamala Harris) to ever run for office, let alone the top job in the nation. Now, depending on the news reports, they’re getting hundreds of people or thousands and possibly tens of thousands of attendees, and I do not doubt that there are devoted people who are opposed to Donald Trump on a knee-jerk reaction level.

Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez are taking advantage of this along with some other top Democrats and are willing to criticize leadership in their party, which is so much fun to watch.

President Trump sat for an interview with Vince Coglianese on Wednesday.

During their conversation, President Trump made news when he spoke about what his administration will explose.

Trump told Coglianse that the 2020 election was very corrupt and that, “I won by a lot. You’re going to find out. The documents are there!”

Can’t wait to see that!

We all knew Joe Biden did not get 81 million votes. It looks like President Trump is planning on exposing the massive fraud in 2020 – and he has the receipts.

President Trump: There’s been a lot of cheating going on… People have never seen anything like it, and we have to stop it.

Vince Coglianese: One of the law firms that you’ve been going after, Perkins Coie, which was responsible for contracting a guy called Christopher Steele to draw up a huge document of lies about you that led to all sorts of Trump-Russia collusion allegations for years. You announced yesterday that you also are declassifying all of the documents from the Trump-Russia collusion hoax, from what they call Crossfire Hurricane in the FBI. What do you think people are going to learn from those documents?

President Trump: I think they’re going to learn how corrupt the election was. It was a very corrupt election. You’re talking about the second election, I assume. That was an election that I won. I won by a lot. You’re going to find that out. The documents are there. The numbers are there. We won that by a lot. We won three elections, and we did very well in the second one. Now, the third one, we blew it away. The third one, we said, Too big to rig, and it was too big to rig. But that second election was the COVID nightmare, and a lot of that had to play. But that was a rigged election, totally rigged.

R. Dennis Kennedy and Hillary Clinton / Credit: National Diversity Council

A major DEI non-profit has filed for bankruptcy after its bosses allegedly stole millions in donor funds.

The National Diversity Council (NDC)l filed for bankruptcy earlier this month after its board members filed a lawsuit accusing founder R. Dennis Kennedy and other top employees of siphoning off millions in funds for their own benefit.

The lawsuit states:

This suit stems from Defendants’ years-long scheme to personally and improperly profit from NDC’s donations, staffing, resources, name, platform, and trademarks.

Defendants have misappropriated donor funds in numerous ways, including by unilaterally paying themselves large salaries, paying themselves as contractors, and paying non-NDC entities money that was then earmarked for the Defendants.

Ex-FBI agent and federal whistleblower Kyle Seraphin has uncovered a fake Polymer80 website selling illegal Glock Switches (devices that convert pistols into machine guns), which he describes as a likely honeypot operation set up by the ATF.

“Have you ever wanted to buy an illegal MACHINE Gun DIRECTLY from @ATFHQ ?” Seraphin wrote on X.

If this is a honeypot operation run by the federal government—whether the ATF or another agency—its web developers should refine the website’s rough appearance; it looks rushed and clumsily mimics the now-defunct Polymer80 site. Notice how “Glock Switch” product is number one on the list, which tells you all you need to know about intentions here: entrapment.

Let’s start with this week’s chaotic events surrounding the bankrupt genetic testing startup, 23andMe Holding Co.:

Fast-forward to Thursday: Bloomberg reports the worst fear for 15 million 23andMe customersUS Bankruptcy Judge Brian C. Walsh has granted the defunct genetic testing startup permission to sell its massive genetic database, potentially ending up in the hands of private equity firms that will find new ways to monetize the sensitive data.

Here’s more from the report:

Under the sale procedures, the company set quick deadlines for potential bidders, including May 7 when definitive offers are due, and a final hearing the following month.

But US Bankruptcy Judge Brian C. Walsh required the company to slow the overall pace by two weeks, in part to accommodate his schedule and in part to give creditors a chance to weigh in before the court makes a final decision on a buyer.

“My overall reaction to the timeline is that it’s pretty tight,” Walsh said at the company’s first bankruptcy hearing, held in St. Louis. At his request, the company agreed to push back the final court hearing for possible sale from June 2 to June 17.

Walsh’s ruling didn’t resolve concerns raised by the looming auction of the sensitive data or complaints from shareholders about the months 23andMe spent trying to find a buyer before filing for court protection earlier this week.

Walsh at the hearing said speed in the sale process is partly justified because the company spent so much time trying to find a buyer before it filed bankruptcy. But the goal, he added, should be to “balance the desire to move quickly with the desire to avoid collateral damage.”

Three United States Postal workers in New York City have been charged with allegedly kidnapping and attempting to rape their co-worker in the back of a truck after a party in 2023.

Edward Chou, 40, Kirt Acala, 38, and Daniel Jean, 38, have been charged in the New York State Supreme Court with second-degree kidnapping and kidnapping in the second degree as a sexually motivated felony.

Jean was additionally charged with “Attempted Rape in the First Degree, Attempted Sexual Abuse in the First Degree, Sexual Abuse in the First Degree, and Forcible Touching.”

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg stated, “As alleged in this indictment, these three postal workers dragged their incapacitated colleague out of a post office and into a mail truck, where one attempted to rape her.”

He added, “We take investigations and prosecutions of sexual violence extremely seriously and have the survivor-centered services and resources to help those who have been sexually assaulted.”

Democrats quietly hatched contingency plans to prepare for former President Joe Biden dying in office or removing himself from consideration to be the party’s 2024 nominee more than a year before Election Day, a new book claims.

While the White House, party officials and media members like MSNBC host Joe Scarborough publicly testified to Biden’s fitness for office, aides to Vice President Kamala Harris privately “strategized around the possibility that Biden might die in office,” according to Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes’ upcoming book, “Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House,” which was previewed by the Guardian.

Officials at the Democratic National Committee engaged in similar prep work as well, according to Allen and Parnes.

WASHINGTON — Environmental Protection Agency administrator Lee Zeldin said Thursday that federal authorities are looking into a scrapped $2 billion grant to a group linked to Stacey Abrams, the two-time Democratic candidate for governor of Georgia.

“I have terminated the $2 BILLION Biden EPA grant to this Stacey Abrams-linked NGO,” the former Long Island congressman tweeted.

“The DOJ/FBI are investigating and the money has been frozen. It is insane that the Biden Admin would give $2B to an organization that previously only received $100!”

Zeldin was responding to a Thursday morning Truth Social post by President Trump, who has made Abrams the face of efforts to claw back Biden-era environmental and social-justice funds as part of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency cost-cutting initiative.

President Trump signed an executive order Thursday seeking to restore truth to American history through an overhaul of the Smithsonian.

The order, titled “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History,” slams the Biden administration for ushering in an era of “corrosive ideology” in recent years and seeks to unfurl “divisive, race-centered” themes plaguing the institution.

“Once widely respected as a symbol of American excellence and a global icon of cultural achievement, the Smithsonian Institution has, in recent years, come under the influence of a divisive, race-centered ideology,” the order reads. “This shift has promoted narratives that portray American and Western values as inherently harmful and oppressive.”

The directive puts Vice President JD Vance in charge of overseeing efforts to “remove improper ideology” from all areas of the institution. Vance serves on the Smithsonian Institution’s Board of Regents.

The President notes that institutions like these – including the institution’s museums and research centers – should focus on American achievements.

It is the policy of my Administration to restore Federal sites dedicated to history, including parks and museums, to solemn and uplifting public monuments that remind Americans of our extraordinary heritage, consistent progress toward becoming a more perfect Union, and unmatched record of advancing liberty, prosperity, and human flourishing.  Museums in our Nation’s capital should be places where individuals go to learn — not to be subjected to ideological indoctrination or divisive narratives that distort our shared history.

Lakers star LeBron James hinted that the NBA was rigged during his latest appearance on the Pat McAfee show.

During his appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, James suggested the 2003 Draft lottery that sent him to his hometown team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, was rigged.

James stated, “Listen man, during the ball drop, during the lottery drop. Cleveland got the No. 1 pick, that’s––I just don’t think that was… What a coincidence, huh?”

He added, “Let’s keep LeBron home. You know what? Patrick Ewing to the Knicks, Derrick Rose to the Bulls. I understand the assignment, guys.”

Former NBA star Patrick Ewing was born in New York and later drafted by the Knicks, and Derrick Rose was born in Chicago and later played for the Chicago Bulls.

Minnesota Governor and failed vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz has a new theory as to why Democrats lost big in November.

Addressing a town hall event on Thursday, Walz said that the Democratic Party was not sufficiently “proud” of being the party that is woke, embraces DEI, and supports open borders.

“Our strength is our diversity,” he said. “We’ve been talking about this for years as a country of immigrants.”

”We let them define the issue on immigration, we let them define the issue on DEI, and we let them define what woke is.”

”We got ourselves in this mess because we weren’t bold enough to say, ‘You’re damn right we’re proud of these policies, we’re going to put them in, and we’re going to execute them.”

One Democrat lawmaker has gone so far in supporting abortion, she’s reducing the decision to murder babies to a cost-benefit analysis.

On Tuesday, Julie McCluskie, a Colorado Democrat and Speaker for the House in the Colorado legislature, spoke on a bill she is currently co-sponsoring to require “abortion care services” to be covered by Medicaid and Child Health Plan Plus program participants.

It would also require public employee insurance plans to cover abortions.

During her time to speak on the bill, McCluskie focused on how much money the state could save if women chose to have abortions rather than giving birth.

She reduced pregnancy and life to a price tag, concluding that those children should just die because it’s cheaper.

She described to her colleagues how the state government would benefit financially from the bill. “That savings comes from the averted births that will not occur, because abortions happened instead.

“A birth is more expensive than an abortion, so the savings comes in Medicaid births that will not occur,” she added.

On Wednesday, a domestic terrorist implicated in a Molotov cocktail arson attack on a Las Vegas Tesla dealership was arrested, and he now faces serious local and federal charges. One down, many more to go, but this guy’s quick arrest and eventual (hopefully prolonged) sentence should serve as a good object lesson to any other lunatics contemplating similar attempts.

Paul Hyon Kim, 36, was arrested Wednesday by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, after at least five cars were allegedly set on fire March 18 at a local Tesla Collision Center.

Kim has been charged with multiple crimes ranging from destruction of property, arson, and possessing a fire device, according to jail records.

He will also face federal charges, Spencer Evans, the FBI agent-in-charge of the bureau’s Las Vegas office, told reporters at a Thursday news briefing.

“There’s nothing courageous or noble about firebombing private property and terrorizing your local community,” Evans said. “The self-righteous mob that’s cheering you on today to commit acts of violence on their behalf will leave you high and dry and forget about you tomorrow. And at the end of the day, you and you alone will be held responsible and face the prospect of a lengthy prison sentence.”

“Terrorizing” isn’t at all too strong a word here. A person who is capable of firebombing a car dealership is on a short path to attacking people directly; that’s how terrorists work. One of the proper responses to this kind of domestic terrorism is to make the risk too high and the eventual penalties too severe to make it worth the attempt.

It’s like it’s his first time learning just how inefficient our government is.

Comedian and late night host Jon Stewart is obviously pretty liberal, and has been a big critic of the Donald Trump administration in its efforts to cut the government through Elon Musk’s DOGE. But after this one, you’ve gotta think he at least understands why it might be necessary.

In case you weren’t aware, the Joe Biden administration included $42 billion in its 2021 infrastructure spending package to expand broadband internet access to 25 million homes that didn’t have access to high speed internet. Sounds great, right?

Well here we are 4 years later and not a SINGLE new home has been added to broadband as a result of that $42 billion. That’s right, zero.

The leader of MS-13 in the US coast was keeping a cache of weapons in the upscale Virginia suburb where he had been living.

Henrry Josue Villatoro Santos, 24, has been named as the undocumented migrant who has been allegedly leading the East coast’s branch of the brutal gang.

The FBI found a a total of four guns, ammo, and suppressors inside his room, as reported by Fox News.

Villatoro Santos was arrested in Dale City, suburban community half an hour outside of Washington, D.C early on Thursday, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Thursday.

Bondi lauded the the early morning arrest as a major victory in the Trump administration’s effort to crack down on a gang known for brutal violence and extortion.

Villatoro Santos was taken into custody in northern Virginia on an outstanding administrative immigration warrant, according to court papers.

He was charged with illegal gun possession after agents found several firearms during the search of his home. Bondi said he was living in the U.S. illegally.

Washington, D.C. – Congressman Andy Harris, M.D., Chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Development, and Food and Drug Administration, released the following statement after the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced available supplemental H-2B visas for the second half of Fiscal Year 2025.

The H-2B program allows foreign workers to temporarily work in the United States, provided that employers have proven that there are not enough U.S. workers who are able, willing, qualified, and available to perform the temporary work. In addition, employers must certify that employing H-2B workers will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of similarly employed U.S. workers.

Statement From Chairman Harris:

“Thank you to President Trump and his administration for recognizing that the H-2B program is a workforce, not an immigration program, by supporting the release of additional H-2B visas for seasonal employers. This announcement is welcome news for the many businesses and seasonal employers in my district who rely on these H-2B visas to avoid cancelled contracts and lost jobs. Thank you, President Trump!”

After accelerating for the last three months (MoM), S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller data shows home prices rose at a slightly lower pace in January (the latest data released today), up 0.46% MoM (from +0.54% MoM in Dec). This was slightly faster than expected (+0.4% exp) and raised the YoY price gain to +4.67%…

On a seasonally-adjusted basis, home prices hit yet another record high (as Tampa prices decline)…

Spot the odd one out…

Arguably, (lagged) mortgage rates dipped during that period (positive short-term for the highly smoothed and lagged Case Shiller series), but as is clear, things do not end well…
