The House Judiciary Committee released information back in June 2024 that revealed that CIA contractors colluded with the Biden campaign in 2020 to discredit the Hunter Biden laptop.

In October 2020, just days before the presidential election, 51 former intelligence officials signed and published a letter that baselessly decried the contents of Hunter’s ‘laptop from hell’ had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”

This was a lie.  They all knew it was a lie. The fake news media ran with the story anyway that it was some kind of ‘Russian interference’ and they all knew that was a lie, too.

And then  NBC fake news journalist Kristen Welker even used the lie during the Trump-Biden debate to bash President Trump. She has never apologized.

Left-leaning corporate media unleashed another info war against the Trump administration after The Atlantic published an overnight story titled “An ‘Administrative Error’ Sends a Maryland Father to a Salvadoran Prison.” However, the struggling outlet behind “SignalGate” conveniently omitted a key detail in the headline: the deported migrant held a “prominent role in MS-13,” according to court filings. Notably, this Mexican drug cartel has been officially designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization by the Trump administration.

The omission in the title was no accident. Details matter, and this appears to be a concerted effort by the left to sway public opinion as the Democratic Party implodes in polling data over its disastrous Tesla Takedown color revolution operation that, in some instances, has resulted in domestic terrorism attacks against Tesla showrooms, service centers, and vehicles nationwide.

MSM conveniently labeled the migrant MS-13 gangster as “Maryland Father” in the headlines … and that’s all you need to know about their slant (migrant gangsters > national security of citizens).

Many X users fact-checked MSM’s reporting, including Will Chamberlain, Senior Counsel at the Internet Accountability Project and the Article III Project, who said, “In an article this evening, The Atlantic pretended that a deported MS-13 gang member was merely a “Maryland father.””

After months of pretending all was well, the Federal Reserve has quietly slowed its quantitative tightening by 80%, signaling a seismic shift beneath the surface. Why now? Taylor Kenney states it’s not about inflation or economic strength—it’s about propping up a $29 trillion bond market that’s being held together by overleveraged hedge funds.

“The only thing holding up the most important bond market in the world… is borrowed money and a hope that the Fed will catch the fall.”

This isn’t QE. It’s crisis management in disguise.

The truth? Hedge funds are sitting on over $1 trillion in risky trades, propping up the Treasury market with extreme leverage. And just like in 2020, the Fed is preparing to bail them out again—because if even one domino falls, the entire financial system could unravel.

“This is the quiet phase of the global reset… and the rest of the world is watching.”

President Trump’s flurry of executive orders hobbling high-profile law firms goes after key players who spent years trying to prove Mr. Trump colluded with Russia to win the White House.

Mr. Trump’s entire first term was clouded by accusations and years of investigation into allegations that he colluded with Russian President Vladimir Putin to win the 2016 election. The president said several prominent law firms played critical roles in creating the false narrative and should be shut out of his administration.

Mr. Trump signed an executive order stripping Perkins Coie LLP,  a key law firm for Democrats, of security clearances and government contracts. The president cited, among several criticisms, the law firm’s role on behalf of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign in producing a fake opposition research dossier about Mr. Trump that featured an alleged “pee tape” involving Russian prostitutes.

On Tuesday morning, former Biden administration “disinformation czar” Nina Jankowicz repeatedly refused to disclose who’s funding her new gig – the ‘American Sunlight Project’ – which cropped up after a stint at the USAID-funded UK-based Centre for Information Resilience (CIR) – for which she registered as a foreign agent while serving as their Vice President.

To review – Jankowicz, who previously served as a disinformation fellow at the Wilson Center, advised the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry as part of the Fulbright-Clinton Public Policy Fellowship, and was then selected to head the Biden DHS’s newly formed Disinformation Governance Board – which was quickly dismantled amid criticism over censorship under the guise of fighting disinformation. 

Four months later, she launched “The Hypatia Project” for CIR – where she was the Vice President until April 2024, at which point she co-founded the American Sunlight Project.

Fast forward to this morning, Jankowicz was evasive when asked by Republicans during a congressional hearing on disinformation about her funding…

Well, Well, Well

As it turns out, Jankowicz’s co-founder at the American Sunlight Project is Carlos Alvarez-Aranyos, a “communications professional” who worked for the Biden DoD, and is “one of the people who launched the call for a boycott of Tesla.”

Alvarez-Aranyos comes from a wealthy and prominent family in the Dominican Republic. His father, Luis Álvarez Renta, is a well-known Dominican financier. Carlos is a nephew of the renowned fashion designer Oscar de la Renta.

The grassroots group’s challenges to the registrations were unsuccessful because the city election commission declined to investigate them.

Nearly 5,000 allegedly illegal voter registrations on Milwaukee voter rolls have been found by an election integrity watchdog ahead of the Wisconsin elections on Tuesday.

With the high-profile elections for the Wisconsin Supreme Court and enshrining voter ID in the state constitution just days away, Fair Elections Wisconsin (FEW) challenged 4,878 allegedly illegal voter registrations that had cast ballots in the November election in Milwaukee. The grassroots group’s challenges were unsuccessful, however, as the city election commission declined to investigate them.

FEW President Justin Gavery on Wednesday submitted a list of 4,878 allegedly illegal voter registrations to the Milwaukee Election Commission. Ballots were cast in the November election for all 4,878 of these voter registrations.

According to Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) data and United States Postal Service’s National Change of Address data reviewed by FEW, there are 281 voters who moved out of the county before October 24th, 2024, and 377 who moved out of state before that date.

On the commission’s website, it states that people registering to vote must include their complete and current full name and residential address.

Trump said his administration would “probably go back to a 2020 standard.”

President Donald Trump said Monday his administration would be rolling back to 2020 automobile “environmental standards.” The president’s statement was in response to a question from a reporter in the Oval Office concerning Trump’s meeting with Stellantis Chairman John Elkann.

When asked what he discussed with Elkann, Trump said it wasn’t related to tariffs on automobiles. Rather, he said, it was a discussion about “some problems they have with the environmental.” His administration, he said, would “probably go back to a 2020 standard.”

“They’re making it so difficult. All over the world, they’re making it. It doesn’t make a damn bit of difference, either, for the environment,” Trump said.

He said the standard makes it “very difficult to build a car.” Trump didn’t specify which environmental standards impacting automobiles would be rolled back.

The Biden-Harris administration passed two major standards on vehicle emissions, including the tailpipe emission standards, which sets limits on emissions from vehicles, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards, which limits emissions across fleets of vehicles.

In a stunning revelation Monday night during a tele-town hall with Wisconsin voters, Elon Musk warned that an arrest is “imminent” in a massive Social Security fraud scheme involving the stolen identities of over 400,000 Americans.

The theft, Musk claimed, is part of a sophisticated financial theft operation tied not only to illegal immigrants defrauding U.S. social welfare systems—but also to widespread voter fraud enabled by the Democrat Party’s open-borders agenda.

Speaking directly to voters in the Badger State, Musk painted a grim picture of a government drowning in incompetence and corruption.

“The government has got the thorniest computer problem I’ve ever seen,” he said.

Just when you think you’ve heard everything there is to hear about how Democrats covered up Joe Biden’s dramatic physical and cognitive decline as president, there’s more.

As RedState recently reported, there was a point late in his ill-fated re-election campaign when Biden’s handlers had to use fluorescent tape on the floor to keep him from wandering off during a speaking engagement. That was revealed in a new book entitled “Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House,” and more excerpts have been released.

One incident involved Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), with Biden seemingly not knowing who the Congressman was. He then had to coach the former president into remembering him.

Swalwell had not been invited to the White House often, like most members of Congress, but when Biden and Swalwell came face to face, Biden didn’t immediately recognize the congressman, according to the book.

Swalwell needed to note personal details to remind Biden of who he is.

Swalwell may not be the most well-known politician out there, but he had been a fairly visible part of the Democratic Party for over a decade, including meeting Biden face-to-face several times. The former president not knowing who the congressman was should have been a major red flag, but the cover-up took precedence over everything, and everyone involved stayed quiet on the matter.

In another part of the book, one of Biden’s former aides shared how they would use a make-up artist to cover up how deteriorated his physical appearance had become.

During a recent appearance on CNN, Democrat Senator Chris Coons of Delaware suggested that Americans are too stupid to find Greenland on a map.

Democrats simply can’t help themselves. Their party currently has an approval rating in the 20s and still sinking, and instead of trying to endear themselves to the American people, we get this. We get insults and condescension.

If Chris Coons wanted to talk about the idea of Greenland becoming part of the United States, even if he is against it, he could have just presented a logical argument.

Townhall reports:

In remarks that the Rapid Response 47 X account aptly noted amounted to Democrats “SHOWING THEIR TRUE COLORS,” Coons offered that “your average Middle American” couldn’t even find Greenland on a map, implying that they were too stupid.

Sen. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), for instance, has fallen way out of favor with Democrats after he caved to Republicans and Trump on the CR. Meanwhile, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) – who are both admitted socialists – have been touring the country and presenting themselves as the future of the party, with the woke AOC even being floated as a possible Schumer challenger, or even a presidential contender, in 2028.

Failed 2024 Democrat vice presidential nominee and Gov. Tim Walz (MN) is another who, like California Gov. Gavin Newsom, is trying to position himself as the answer in 2028, but who, in the process, is doing nothing but embarrassing himself and his fellow Democrats along the way.

As further evidence that Democrats truly are in disarray, we turn to recent polling which shows approval and favorability ratings for them at historic lows:

Thirty-seven percent of [Harvard CAPS/Harris poll] voters said they approved of the party in March, just slightly up from 36 percent in February. The latest approval ratings for the party are the lowest since March of 2018.

[…]

An NBC News poll released earlier this month found that only 27 percent of voters said they had a positive view of the Democratic Party, while 55 percent of voters said they have a negative view of it. Additionally, 20 percent of Democrats in the poll said they have a negative view of the party.

A separate CNN poll also released this month showed the party with a record-low 29 percent favorability rating. Fifty-two percent of Democratic-aligned adults said the leadership of the Democratic Party is currently taking the party in the wrong direction, compared with 48 percent who said the party’s leaders were taking them in the right direction.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) introduced a proposal  Monday to rein in judicial injunctions like the ones currently hampering President Donald Trump’s popular MAGA agenda.

The Judicial Relief Clarification Act of 2025 (JRCA) would “limit federal court orders to parties directly before the court, ending the practice of universal injunctions,” according to a Judiciary Committee Majority press release. The bill also aims to clarify the constitutional role of the judicial branch.

According to a Judiciary Committee fact sheet, the JRCA:

1. Forbids federal courts from issuing sweeping relief against the government to persons not before the court—ending the practice of universal injunctions and diminishing the
incentive to forum shop for a sympathetic judge.
2. Requires parties seeking universal relief against the government to use the class action process to show that class-wide relief is proper.
3. Makes temporary restraining orders (TROs) immediately appealable, strengthening appellate review.
4. Amends the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) and Declaratory Judgment Act to clarify that courts may only issue relief under those statutes to parties before the court.

Sen. Grassley will hold a hearing Wednesday to discuss his  “legislative solutions to the bipartisan problem of universal injunctions.”

The proposal comes after a slew of district court rulings and orders blocked multiple key Trump administration objectives, including efforts to end birthright citizenship, terminate federal grants, end DEI initiatives and use a wartime law to deport criminal illegal immigrants.

President Trump has railed against the rulings, accusing the judges of usurping his executive authorities.

In an oped in the Wall Street Journal over the weekend, Grassley wrote: “these nationwide injunctions have become a favorite tool for those seeking to obstruct Mr. Trump’s agenda.”

More than two-thirds of all universal injunctions issued over the past 25 years were levied against the first Trump administration. In the past two months alone, judges have issued at least 15 universal injunctions against the administration—surpassing the 14 President Biden faced throughout his four-year term.

“These decisions also place undue stress on the judicial system by inserting political calculation into the selection of the judges and the resolution of disputes,” the senator wrote

The Atlanta Police Department suspects a swatting call led to the death of rapper Young Scooter on Friday, the day of his 39th birthday, according to TMZ.

The police released 911 audio tapes of a woman who summoned them to William Nye Drive by making disturbing claims about what she observed at the rapper’s residence. The female caller said she witnessed a naked woman being dragged out of the artist’s home in what appeared to be a dispute about drugs, as heard in the recordings shared online by TMZ. She said the woman was “bleeding profusely” from her head, and was being held hostage.

The video player is currently playing an ad.

Police responded to the urgent call, but Young Scooter was reportedly unaware of the reason behind the intense police presence. The rapper attempted to flee by exiting the back door and jumping two fences, ultimately suffering a life-ending injury in the process.

For many of us who were long active in Democratic politics, it is becoming increasingly difficult to recognize the party as a new generation of foul-mouthed, censorship-supporting, mob-enabling leaders take over. 

That sense returned this week when Rep. Daniel Goldman (D-NY) claimed that the FBI investigating attacks on Tesla cars and facilities is nothing but “lawfare” and “political weaponization.”

Goldman’s latest controversy captures how Democrats have now entirely cut the cords of decency and moderation that once tethered their party to the mainstream of our society.

Democratic leaders have been fueling the attacks on Musk and his companies, even putting national security interests aside to seek to punish him.

Goldman (and other Democrats) have previously pushed back on criticism of Antifa and left-wing attacks. However, Goldman’s criticism of the FBI task force on these widespread attacks is otherworldly.

Goldman this week declared:

“This is the political weaponization of the DOJ. Trump uses his official authority to defend his benefactor Elon Musk. The FBI then creates a task force to use our law enforcement to ‘crack down’ [sic] on adversaries of Musk’s [sic]. Where are the Republicans so opposed to ‘lawfare’?”

Defendant told he’d get ‘decades’ in jail unless ‘he claimed he was working with President Trump on overthrowing the government’

A new report documents how the Department of Justice under Joe Biden suborned perjury by J6ers in order to “get” President Donald Trump.

The scandal revolves around the Jan. 6, 2021, protest turned riot at the Capitol in which an unarmed protester was shot at point blank range and killed by a scandal-plagued Capitol police officer.

Biden’s DOJ spent thousands of hours and millions of dollars tracking down every single person who appeared on any video that day and arrested them, sometimes using SWAT tactics, for offenses that included trespassing.

Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong – a transplant surgeon-turned-biotech billionaire renowned for inventing the cancer drug Abraxane – has issued a startling warning in a new in-depth interview with Tucker Carlson.

Soon-Shiong, founder of ImmunityBio ($IBRX) and owner of the Los Angeles Times, claims that the COVID-19 pandemic, and the very vaccines developed to fight it, may be contributing to a global surge in “terrifyingly aggressive” cancers. In the nearly two-hour conversation, the Los Angeles Times owner leveraged his decades of clinical and scientific experience to outline why he suspects an unprecedented cancer epidemic is unfolding. This report examines Dr. Soon-Shiong’s background and assertions, the scientific responses for and against his claims, new data on post-COVID health trends, and the far-reaching implications if his alarming hypothesis proves true.

Dr. Soon-Shiong’s Claims

Soon-Shiong is a veteran surgeon and immunologist who has spent a career studying the human immune system’s fight against cancer. He pioneered novel immunotherapies and even worked on a T-cell based COVID vaccine booster during the pandemic. In the interview, he draws on this background to voice deep concern over rising cancer cases, especially among younger people – something he describes as a “non-infectious pandemic” of cancer. He tells Carlson that in 50 years of medical practice, it was extraordinarily rare to see cancers like pancreatic tumors in children or young adults, yet recently such cases are appearing. For instance, Soon-Shiong was alarmed by seeing a 13-year-old with metastatic pancreatic cancer, a scenario virtually unheard of in his prior experience.

“I never saw pancreatic cancer in children… the greatest surprise to me was a 13-year-old with metastatic pancreatic cancer,” Soon-Shiong told Carlson, adding that he’s seen examples of very young patients (even children under 11 with colon cancer) and unusual surges in aggressive diseases like ovarian cancer in women in their 30s. These personal observations of more frequent, aggressive cancers in youth led him to probe what might have changed in recent years.

“We’re clearly seeing an increase in certain types of cancer, like pancreatic cancer, ovarian cancer… colon cancer… in younger people.”

A staffer to Cory Booker was arrested Monday evening for bringing an unlicensed pistol to the Capitol shortly before the New Jersey senator began his marathon speech against President Trump and Elon Musk.

“Yesterday afternoon a Member of Congress led an IDed staff member around security screening at the Hart Senate Office Building. Later that evening, outside the Senate Galleries, the IDed staff member — who is a retired law enforcement officer — told our officers he was armed,” Capitol Police said in a statement to The Hill.

“The staff member, 59-year-old Kevin A. Batts of New Jersey, was arrested for Carrying a Pistol Without a License. All weapons are prohibited from Capitol Grounds, even if you are a retired law enforcement officer, or have a permit to carry in another state or the District of Columbia,” they added.

NOTUS reported:

A staffer for Sen. Cory Booker was arrested Monday by U.S. Capitol Police for carrying a pistol on Capitol grounds without a license, police said.

Remember the movie “City Slickers?”

Billy Crystal asked for the secret to life. Jack Palance said, “One Thing.”

President Trump is the G.O.A.T. (the greatest of all-time). His first two months have been a work of art. My fans love him. But one thing is missing. One thing that matters above all else…

WHERE ARE THE ARRESTS?

Because I host national TV and radio shows, and a daily video podcast, I am blessed to receive thousands of emails from my fans. I am honored. I read every one of them.

That is what gives me my edge. I understand exactly what the American people are thinking, feeling and experiencing. Because I listen to the American people.

99% of politicians never read a single letter or email from their constituents. They get their advice from listening to fake news media and fake pollsters. Or they listen to donors, lawyers, lobbyists, economists and fellow DC politicians.

What a terrible mistake.

The American people are smart. Not book smart, or Harvard-degree-smart. But street smart. They see and feel exactly what’s going on with this country, culture and economy. Because they’re living it.

‘A fine line between having a civil society and chaos’

Those political leftists who are vandalizing Tesla vehicles, own by innocent passersby or maybe even their neighbors, because of their connection to Tesla corporation owner Elon Musk’s work with President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency, already are in trouble.

They’re getting charged with a variety of crimes that include penalties of up to 20 years in jail.

One recent case involves Cooper Jo Frederick, 24, who was arrested in Plano, Texas, on suspicion of attacking a Tesla dealership recently in Loveland, Colorado.

Health officials are raising the alarm over a deadly fungus described as similar to ‘having cancer‘ that is surging in US hospitals.

Candida Auris, a type of yeast resistant to most treatments, was first detected in hospitals in 2016, with 52 infections reported across four states.

But cases have doubled every year since, with 4,514 infections across the country detected in 2023 — the latest date available — and the disease has spread to 38 states.

The CDC declared it an ‘urgent threat’ in 2023, but now — causing further alarm — cases are rising quickly in hospitals in Georgia and Florida.

The fungus can colonize the skin of individuals in hospitals and contaminated surfaces and medical equipment, where it is difficult to remove as it is resistant to most disinfectants.

It can then be transferred to sick people via physical contact, where it may enter the body through cuts or devices such as those for a breathing tube or a catheter.

This can cause a serious infection if the fungus spreads to infect the blood. About one in three people who contract C. Auris die from the infection.

Those who have prolonged stays in the hospital or need invasive medical devices are particularly at risk of infection, doctors warn.

Elon Musk set the record straight on Sunday in a fiery rally held to support Judge Brad Schimel’s bid for the Wisconsin Supreme Court, blasting the media’s fear-mongering over Medicaid cuts under President Trump.

Musk, who has become an unlikely but powerful voice in the fight for transparency and government accountability, didn’t hold back.

Addressing a packed crowd, Musk warned of the high-stakes battle for control of America’s institutions.

“This race could impact the future of America and Western Civilization.”

With Democrats hoping to weaponize a far-left court to redraw congressional districts, Musk emphasized that GOP control of the House is hanging in the balance.

But the rally took an even more electric turn when Musk invited longtime ally Antonio Gracias—Founder of Valor Equity Partners and key figure in Musk’s digital government efficiency project known as DOGE—to reveal what they’ve uncovered in their ongoing investigation into Social Security and Medicaid records.

Gracias dropped a bombshell: under Joe Biden’s administration, the number of non-citizens receiving Social Security numbers skyrocketed from 270,000 in 2021 to an astonishing 2.1 million in 2024.

According to CNN, Hall was released Thursday “following a court order and with logistical support from Qatar,” which has been mediating on the US’ behalf, the source said. She was detained in the country on charges of using a drone without authorization.

Zalmay Khalilzad, the US’ former ambassador to Afghanistan, shared the news on X.

Another black-robed tyrant has invoked his unearned ‘authority’ to sabotage President Trump’s America-first agenda.

As Reuters reported, a U.S. judge in San Francisco on Monday barred the Trump administration from revoking deportation protections for hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan immigrants here in America under temporary protected status. His ruling applies nationwide.

TPS status for these migrants was scheduled to end on April 7. They were also set to lose their work permits on April 2.

Senior District Judge Edward Chen, a Barack Obama appointee, slammed DHS Secretary Kristi Noem in his ruling for supposedly stereotyping Venezuelan TPS beneficiaries while slobbering over their supposed contributions to America.

A majority of Americans support President Donald Trump’s mass deportation program, a new poll from CBS News finds.

About 58 percent of American adults told CBS pollsters that they approve of Trump’s program to “find and deport immigrants who are in the United States illegally,” while 42 percent said they disapprove.

Most significantly, 56 percent of swing voters support Trump’s deportation program, as well as 93 percent of Republicans. Likewise, majorities of white non-college-educated Americans, 69 percent, and white college-educated Americans, 56 percent, support the deportations.

Hispanic Americans are a bit more split on the issue, with 47 percent approving of Trump’s deportations and 53 percent opposing.

Trump’s immigration policies, poll after poll has found, remain largely popular with Americans.

Last week, a Pew Research Center survey showed that 32 percent of American adults support deporting all illegal aliens, while 51 percent support deporting some illegal aliens. Only 16 percent of Americans said they do not support deporting any illegal aliens from the U.S.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth ordered the military services to require everyone who serves in a combat specialty to meet the same physical fitness standard. Hegseth announced the policy was on the way by a video posted on X as he returned to the US from Japan.

Hi, everybody. Pete Hegseth here, and we’re about to land in Washington, DC, on our way back from Japan, where we’ve been meeting with the troops, talking to allies and partners, and reestablishing deterrence in the Indo-Pacific. This Sunday, of course, we’re still working, I want to show you one thing. It’s a new memorandum that’s coming out today on Combat Arms standards.

You see, for far too long, we have allowed standards to slip. We’ve had different standards for men and women in combat arms MOSs and jobs. That’s not acceptable. We need to have the same standards, male or female, in our combat roles to ensure our men and women who are under our leaders or in those formations have the best possible leaders and the highest possible standards that are not based at all on your sex, if you’re a man or a woman.

I’m signing this memorandum today. The services will review and see that we have nothing but the highest and equal standards for men and women in combat.

A drug-resistant fungus is on the rise in American hospitals, targeting patients who already reeling from illness.

New cases have been identified in Georgia and Florida hospitals, according to The Hill.

Candida auris has been in the U.S. since 2016, but cases have increased annually through 2023, the most recent year for which the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have data.

“We’ve had four people at one time on and off, over the past few months, and in years past, it was unusual to have one or even two people with Candida Auris in our hospital,” Dr. Timothy Connelly at Memorial Health in Savannah said, according to WJCL-TV.

You don’t even need to read it, folks. Hillary Rodham Clinton, a two-time presidential loser, had some thoughts on the Signal story. To recap, National Security Adviser Michael Waltz discussed anti-Houthi operations on Signal, an encrypted, government-approved messenger app, which accidentally added The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg who exaggerated its contents, alleging classified war plans were discussed. That’s a lie. Goldberg is a known anti-Trump fabulist. Was it an unforced error? Sure, and the consequences were days of annoying distractions and hysterics from the liberal media.

Hillary Clinton decided to weigh in, not on just the Signal story, but how the Trump administration is going—lady, no one cares. Even if you struck chords with Democrats, they don’t want you around. They certainly don’t want the Bidens around either. Also, you’re the last person who should be delivering lectures on supposed disclosures of sensitive information, Ms. Clinton. This latest op-ed is painfully transparent in its intentions (via NYT):

It’s not the hypocrisy that bothers me; it’s the stupidity. We’re all shocked — shocked! — that President Trump and his team don’t actually care about protecting classified information or federal record retention laws. But we knew that already. What’s much worse is that top Trump administration officials put our troops in jeopardy by sharing military plans on a commercial messaging app and unwittingly invited a journalist into the chat. That’s dangerous. And it’s just dumb.

This is the latest in a string of self-inflicted wounds by the new administration that are squandering America’s strength and threatening our national security. Firing hundreds of federal workers charged with protecting our nation’s nuclear weapons is also dumb. So is shutting down efforts to fight pandemics just as a deadly Ebola outbreak is spreading in Africa. It makes no sense to purge talented generals, diplomats and spies at a time when rivals like China and Russia are trying to expand their global reach.

In a dangerous and complex world, it’s not enough to be strong. You must also be smart. As secretary of state during the Obama administration, I argued for smart power, integrating the hard power of our military with the soft power of our diplomacy, development assistance, economic might and cultural influence. None of those tools can do the job alone. Together, they make America a superpower. The Trump approach is dumb power. Instead of a strong America using all our strengths to lead the world and confront our adversaries, Mr. Trump’s America will be increasingly blind and blundering, feeble and friendless.

Let’s start with the military, because that’s what he claims to care about. Don’t let the swagger fool you. Mr. Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth (of group chat fame) are apparently more focused on performative fights over wokeness than preparing for real fights with America’s adversaries…

When you sit down to write a column and the first word you write nearly breaks the “F” key, then you have to continually erase it, well, it’s a way to tell you’re in a mood. And nothing deserves a “mood” like dealing with the worst creatures on the planet since life crawled out of the primordial ooze: Democrats. 

How depraved must a group of people be to have Hillary Clinton step forward as the person to speak out on this so-called “Signal scandal”? That’s like hiring OJ Simpson to be the spokesmodel for your battered women’s shelter or Bill Clinton to be your marriage counselor. Hell, considering it’s Hillary, it’s like having Jeffrey Epstein run your daycare center. 

That last one doesn’t really hold up since they left Epstein to do pretty much whatever he wanted while he was alive, with them likely in on most, if not all, of it.

While “Big Balls” fights as part of DOGE to save taxpayers billions of dollars from waste, fraud, and abuse, Hillary showed her big balls (is it any wonder Bill isn’t interested?) by writing an op-ed in the New York Times about how disgusted she was that Trump Cabinet officials would have a discussion over an encrypted app.

Of all the people on the left, no one else was available. No one? They had to go with the lady who set up a private, unsecured server to hand every bit of electronic communications she engaged in as Secretary of State – including A LOT of classified material – and hid it all from the government until an outside group discovered it? No one else could have a staffer type up the DNC talking points and pretend to be upset; it had to be Hillary.

Several unjustly wealthy members of Congress, including one infamous far-left politician from San Francisco, may soon find themselves completely exposed by Elon Musk.

During a Sunday night town hall in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Musk revealed that he had noticed an inordinate number of multimillionaires in America’s legislative branch. He then vowed that he and DOGE would launch an investigation to stop this corrupt activity.
.
“A lot of strangely wealthy members of Congress…Where I’m just trying to connect the dots of how did they become rich,” Musk told the audience. “How’d they get $20 million if they’re earning $200,000 a year?”

“No can explain that,” he added. “We’re gonna try to figure it out and certainly stop it from happening.”

Unsurprisingly, Musk has long been interested in the massive wealth members of Congress have accumulated during their years of ‘service.’ Last month, he asked independent journalist Nick Sortor how Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren (D-MA) collected a whopping $12 MILLION on a $200,000 salary.

I am a political junkie and a political conservative. Like so many conservative political junkies, I spend a good portion of my waking hours trying to understand what the words and actions of Democrats actually mean. Like the Politburo of the former Soviet Union, the words of Democrats often bear little resemblance to the actions their words embody. “Equity” is an excellent example, as when Democrats say “equity,” they really mean highly inequitable policy solutions. Sometimes, however, Democrats deliberately fail to coherently describe the meaning of their actions, and then it becomes even harder to ascertain meaning. Such is the case with the basic economic policies of Democrats. Many on the right like to say that Democrats support socialism, but that’s not wholly true given how many capitalist components exist inside Democrat economic policies. Similarly, it is inaccurate to describe Democrat economics as being purely capitalistic because wealth redistribution is one of their core competencies. Some say that the Democrats enjoy government control of capitalist entities, rendering their economic persuasion fascist in nature. Yet, even that is inaccurate, given that fascist states view their economies as a source of nationalistic pride and strength, while Democrats tend to abhor nationalistic pride in the United States.

It’s not socialism. It’s not capitalism. It’s not fascism. What, then, is the overarching label that explains the economic policies and priorities of Democrats and their leadership?

It’s Grifterism.

(I did not invent that word, or at least that’s what Google tells me. However, I believe I am the first author to ever use that term to describe a formal system of national economic governance, so I’m going to run with it.)

Grifterism is, as the name suggests, a system run by and for the benefit of grifters. Webster defines the verb “grift” as “to acquire money or property illicitly.” Grifters have always been a part of human society, but it took the 21st-century Democratic Party to turn the idea into a comprehensive economic system. The best way to understand this system is to analyze the four classes of citizens upon which Grifterism relies, and into which all American citizens are divided one way or another: Billionaires, Productives, Dependents and, of course, Grifters.

(Before I explain these classes, I realize that there are some readers who will jump all over these categories and tell me I am being too absolute in describing them. Yes, Elon Musk is a good Billionaire. Yes, there are bad Productives who exploit the powerless. Yes, there are many entirely productive people in government who are not Grifters. Yes, the nice old blind lady down the street deserves the support given to the Dependent class. Yet, as the saying goes, these are the exceptions that prove the rule.)

On to the four classes of Grifterism:

1. The Billionaires: The Billionaires are the capital creators upon which much of the system relies. While the top 1% of income earners pay 46% of all federal taxes, estimates suggest the Billionaire portion of that demographic alone pays for somewhere between 5% and 10% of all federal taxes. While this Billionaire class is defined by that 5% to 10%, realize, too, that the Billionaires create the businesses that pay the executive salaries of so much of the rest of the 46%, so in effect, Billionaire-related taxes fund nearly half of the federal government’s gross revenue and are the de facto economic sponsors of the Grifter class. (In addition to the punishing taxes they pay, Billionaires also enjoy the privileged punishment of being endlessly vilified by the “Tax the Rich” likes of Bernie Sanders, AOC, and their brainwashed acolytes.)

White House adviser and Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) head Elon Musk has claimed roughly 2.1 million “non-citizens” received social security numbers in 2024.

Speaking at a conference alongside his longtime friend Antonio Gracias, CEO of Valor Equity Partners, Musk said DOGE uncovered some eye-opening numbers regarding social security in 2024.

“We started at the top of the system. Mapping the whole system of social security to understand where all the fraud was. There’s a lot of great people there that showed us a lot of waste, so that came with a big list of stuff. But this is what jumped out at us,” Gracias said as he pointed to the chart. “In 2021, you see 270,000 people; goes all the way to 2.1 million in 2024. These are non-citizens that are getting social security numbers.”

Gracias clarified that he had no political motivations for revealing those numbers, noting that his parents and siblings were born in Spain while touting himself a supporter of legal immigration. He also praised the employees of the social security administration who “took risks” to show them what has been allegedly happening.

As to how 2.1 million non-citizens received social security numbers in 2024, Gracias said that the previous administration had a policy that allowed migrants to enter the country and then register social security.

Update (0845ET): Messages of support poured in for Le Pen shortly after her conviction, with the Kremlin and Hungary’s populist leader Viktor Orban among the first to weigh in.

As a reminder, Le Pen led in the polls…

“Her conviction will strengthen her aura in French society: that’s what we can learn from Trump-style American politics,” said Christophe Marion, a lawmaker from Macron’s party.

The presidential elections in Romania and the Le Pen verdict show that “democratic norms are being trampled upon,” in Europe, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

“Je suis Marine,” Orban tweeted following the ruling.

For Dutch far-right leader Geert Wilders, the verdict was “tough”. “I trust she will win the appeal and become President of France,” he wrote on X.

Italy’s deputy prime minister and leader of the League party Matteo Salvini called the ruling a “declaration of war by Brussels.”

But there was also unease within the political mainstream in France.

“It is not healthy that in a democracy, an elected official is prohibited from standing in an election and I believe that political debates should be decided at the ballot box,” said the leader of MPs in parliament of the right-wing Republicans, Laurent Wauquiez.

Even the leader of the hard-left France Unbowed (LFI) Jean-Luc Melenchon appeared ill at ease. “The decision to remove an elected official should be up to the people,” he said.

RN president Jordan Bardella denounced the sentence on his X account, calling it “unjust” and amounting to an execution of French democracy.

Mike Benz posted on X, summing things up succinctly:

“They are fucking with something no democratic system should ever fuck with. If people perceive — rightly — that democracy is a farce, & anyone who runs against the order will be arrested, they’ll not only want to tear it down, they’ll seek an honest autocracy over false democracy.”

Observers have drawn parallels with US President Donald Trump, who won a second term with a clutch of criminal cases hanging over him and, like Le Pen, has made trenchant opposition to immigration a cornerstone of his program.

Americans were told that the 2020 elections were the ‘safest and most secure’ in history. But evidence of ongoing, systemic, voter registration fraud underway in Michigan suggested otherwise. Far-left Attorney General Dana Nessel prosecuted the 2020 Michigan Trump electors with a variety of felonies as part of a push to prosecute Trump electors nationwide, based on the idea that there was no reasonable basis to believe that there was systemic voter fraud in the 2020 election.

Now we know that not only was it reasonable to believe there was voter fraud in the 2020 election, but authorities were investigating a far-left organizing group that was taking millions of dollars from left-wing groups and producing ridiculous voter registrations in key locations around the state.

In response to the reporting by TGP’s reporters Benjamin Wetmore and Patty McMurray, this story came out in August 2023. Wetmore further documented that the local police in Muskegon, Michigan said they had referred everything to the Michigan State Police under the control of the Governor. In response to TGP’s reporting, the Michigan Attorney General said that she had referred the entire case to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and that it was an ongoing law enforcement investigation.

Since the case was supposedly referred, Muskegon Police confidentially told The Gateway Pundit that nothing had happened.

Billionaire entrepreneur and Trump advisor Elon Musk dropped a bombshell this weekend during a fiery 100-minute town hall in Green Bay, Wisconsin, where he campaigned for conservative judge Brad Schimel in the state’s upcoming Supreme Court election on Tuesday.

Joined by Antonio Gracias, a private equity titan and a key member of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) team tasked with rooting out waste in the federal government, Musk unveiled a shocking chart: a dramatic spike in Social Security Numbers issued to non-citizens, soaring from 270,000 in 2021 to a mind-blowing 2.1 million in 2024.

That’s almost 5 million non-citizens now embedded in the system—collecting benefits, draining taxpayer dollars, and, most alarmingly, infiltrating the voter rolls.

“This is a mind-blowing chart,” Musk declared, pointing to the data. “This wasn’t an accident. This was a massive, large-scale program under the Biden administration to import as many illegals as possible—ultimately to change the voting map of the United States, disenfranchise the American people, and lock in a permanent deep-blue, one-party state from which there’d be no escape.”

An expelled D.C. councilmember is teasing a re-election campaign for his old seat as he faces a federal bribery charge.

Trayon White, the former Ward 8 councilmember accused last year by federal authorities of agreeing to accept $156,000 in bribes, wrote on Instagram “ReElection campaign starts tomorrow.”

The D.C. Council voted unanimously to remove White from his position less than two months ago. However, despite being expelled, White remains eligible to run in a special election that will now be held for his vacant seat, according to WUSA 9.

White did not immediately respond Monday to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.

America’s energy future will rely in large part on nuclear power. As I’ve written many times, any major leap forward in technology has been accompanied by an increase in energy density of the society’s primary fuel source, from wood to charcoal to coal to oil and natural gas and, now, to nuclear power. 

So it’s good to see the Trump administration embracing that nuclear-powered future. Last week, Energy Secretary Chris Wright gave us a compelling look at his vision for the “nuclear renaissance.” But before talking about energy, he spoke of renewing our nuclear arsenal:

In a wide-ranging interview last week, Energy Secretary Chris Wright discussed how the U.S. can bring nuclear power to the fore for both energy and defense purposes, starting with rebooting otherwise dormant “pit” production.

Under the first Trump administration, the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) sought to meet the Pentagon’s goal of manufacturing 80 such pits – spherical hulls of plutonium sized from a grapefruit to a bowling ball – according to the UK Guardian.

Wright suggested he wants to see the plan realized, as the same Energy Department laboratory in New Mexico where J. Robert Oppenheimer helped develop the atom bomb is reportedly working to return to earnest pit production.

The U.S. has never imported plutonium pits but also hasn’t done any such major manufacturing since the end of the Cold War.

Our nuclear deterrent is aging and probably needs looked after, but it’s energy that most people are more concerned about, and Mr. Wright has plans there as well:

Wright said he is working to reopen the shuttered Palisades nuclear power plant in southwestern Michigan, which closed a few years ago.

Another major plant, Indian Point on the Hudson River opposite Haverstraw, N.Y., that had helped power New York City was notably closed under then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo. There has been little effort there, however, to see a reopening.

In addition to the large-scale plants, Wright said the Energy Department seeks to forward SMR or Small Modular Reactor technology, which he said could be groundbreaking in terms of powering underserved communities and important or sensitive sites that may be far from established large-scale plants.

US Attorney General Pam Bondi on Monday afternoon announced federal charges against another Tesla firebomber.

This time, the Justice Department unsealed federal charges against Cooper Frederick, 24, in the firebombing of the Tesla dealership in Loveland, Colorado.

The Loveland Tesla dealership was targeted by vandals numerous times in the last few weeks.

One of the suspects, Cooper Frederick, targeted the Loveland Tesla dealership with an ‘incendiary device’ on March 7.

Similar reparations commissions have been created by state governments in California, Colorado, Massachusetts, New York and Illinois

A Maryland bill to establish a commission to study reparations – including financial restitution – is moving forward, as it is expected to clear its final hurdle in the House of Delegates, while the governor attempts to dodge questions about whether he supports the proposal.

The bill, a priority for the Legislative Black Caucus of Maryland, passed the Senate in the middle of last month before Crossover Day, which marks the unofficial deadline for legislative leaders in the General Assembly to move bills to the other legislative chamber that they plan to send to the governor for final approval.

The bill received a favorable vote in its assigned House committee on Friday, WBFF reported. It is expected to be voted on in the full House before the legislative session adjourns next week.

Senate Minority Whip Justin Ready, a Republican, told WBFF he does not understand why the reparations bill is being advanced as the state faces a $3.3 billion deficit, which is expected to increase even more to $6.7 billion by fiscal year 2028.

One of the latest actions by President Donald Trump isn’t getting the big headlines, but it should.

On Thursday night, the president signed the “Exclusions From Federal Labor-Management Relations Programs” Executive Order (EO), which bars unions representing vast swaths of the federal workforce from engaging in collective bargaining. The EO focuses on agencies in the national security sphere, but has the net effect of neutralizing the power of the unions.

Collective bargaining is the process where employees band together via union organization to negotiate with their employers—in this case, the federal government. Most public sector unions bargain over things like wages, benefits, and all sorts of perks and privileges the average, non-unionized American worker doesn’t get. Federal employee unions are only allowed to negotiate over working conditions. Removing it neuters the unions and puts the federal employees affected by the EO on notice that they serve the American people, not the unions.

The action by President Trump will affect several departments, including State, Defense, Treasury, Veterans Affairs, Justice, and several divisions within Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, Interior, Energy, Agriculture and Commerce. In other words, it’s a monumental strike against the unions.

And all the right people are mad.

Here’s Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) to remind you he’s no conservative.

Notice how he goes right to the threat of legal action against the Trump administration? He’s quite obviously comfortable in the knowledge that activist judges will trip over themselves to stop this EO from taking effect. No effort required.

Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) crew have revealed that 40%—nearly half—of the phone calls the Social Security Administration receives are from “fraudsters” who are changing beneficiaries’ bank information to steal benefits. 

“When you want to change your bank account, you can call Social Security. We learned 40% of the phone calls that they get are from fraudsters,” one of Musk’s prodigies stated.

President Trump’s DOGE head, Elon Musk, and members of his team sat for an interview with Bret Baier, which aired on Thursday evening, to discuss the waste, fraud, and abuse in government spending that they’ve uncovered in just two months.

Musk explained that unscrupulous individuals “call in, they say, they claim to be a retiree, then they convince the Social Security personnel to change where the money is flowing.”

Democrats and liberals are outraged over the recent deportations of academics and individuals tied to universities, claiming these actions target those who disagree with President Trump. In reality, however, these deportations stem from violations of residency terms, such as participating in or encouraging violent protests.

Critics also decry the use of plainclothes officers for arrests and the lack of jury trials in these cases. Yet, it’s entirely legal for plainclothes officers to make arrests, and in the United States, visa or residency revocation doesn’t always require a trial. The process hinges on the violation’s nature, the individual’s immigration status, and the applicable legal framework.

Several high-profile cases in early 2025 illustrate how academics and university-affiliated individuals violated their residency terms, leading to deportations under the Trump administration. These incidents, often linked to protest activities, highlight the administration’s strict enforcement of immigration rules. Below are key examples and the specific ways these individuals breached their visa or residency conditions:

Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian green card holder and recent Columbia University graduate, was a prominent organizer of pro-Palestinian protests in 2024. Arrested by ICE on March 8, 2025, he faced deportation after the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) accused him of “leading activities aligned to Hamas,” a designated terrorist organization. The administration argued that his protest involvement, including negotiations with university officials, veered into encouraging illegal or violent actions—grounds for revoking his permanent residency.

Texas administered 15,000 more measles vaccinations this year compared to 2024—and now there’s a growing measles outbreak that has surpassed the total number of cases reported across the entire United States last year.

The news follows this website’s February report that measles cases in Gaines County, Texas, had jumped 242% following a health district campaign to hand out free measles vaccines.

A measles outbreak after higher vaccination rates in Texas calls into question the shot’s claimed effectiveness and underlying design.

Timeline & Numbers

Between January 1 and March 16 last year, 158,000 measles vaccines were administered in the state, according to CBS News.

During the same time this year, 173,000 measles doses were given.

There are now more measles cases in Texas than there were across the United States in all of 2024.

On Friday, the Texas Department of State Health Services reported 309 cases have been identified in the state since late January.

That’s compared to only 285 cases nationwide last year, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data.

What’s worse, measles cases in West Texas are “still on the rise” and “local public health officials say they expect the virus to keep spreading for at least several more months and that the official case number is likely an undercount,” according to CBS.

The numbers don’t lie—Texas is witnessing a record-breaking measles outbreak in the wake of increased vaccination efforts.

Measles Vaccine Virus Is Product of Gain-of-Function & Can Shed Onto Unvaccinated

U.S. military biodefense experts confirm in a May 2016 publication in The Journal of Infectious Diseases that the live virus inside the measles (MMR) vaccine is engineered using “a technique that could be considered, by current definitions, GOF research.”

GOF (gain-of-function) experiments can cause viruses to become more infectious.

The wild-type measles virus (Montefiore 89 strain) purportedly found in nature mostly uses a receptor called CD150 to gain entry to and infect immune cells.

However, the vaccine strain (Edmonston strain) is manipulated in the laboratory to acquire the ability to bind another receptor called CD46, which is more abundant in the body and expressed on most human nucleated cells.

This means the measles virus injected into the MMR-vaccinated has the potential to enter many more cells compared to the wild-type virus, due to its acquired ability to use an additional cellular receptor.

The vaccine virus also sheds.

An August 2024 study in the peer-reviewed Journal of Clinical Virology confirms the measles vaccine virus sheds in recently vaccinated children for 29 days, meaning the vaccinated can spread the virus to the unvaccinated for about a month.

A 1995 CDC study found that 83% of vaccinated children had measles virus shed in their urine.

With a genetically modified vaccine virus capable of shedding for nearly a month and entering a broader range of human cells than the wild-type strain, the question becomes harder to ignore: Is the vaccine itself playing a role in the surge?

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.

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 groceries; 65% 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!

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.

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.”

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.
