Faye Hall, an American detained in Afghanistan by the Taliban since February, has now been released.

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.

“American citizen Faye Hall, just released by the Taliban, is now in the care of our friends, the Qataris in Kabul, and will soon be on her way home. Thank you, #Qatar, for your ongoing and steadfast partnership.”

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.”

WATCH:

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.

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.

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.

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.”

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 2/10^th 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.

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.

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.

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.
