As more and more people flee blue states and their high-tax, soft-on-crime, expensive cost-of-living environments, Democrats are going to become more desperate to stop the population hemorrhaging. Some places, like California, have tried exit taxes. New York Governor Kathy Hochul begged wealthy New Yorkers to return to fund her fraudulent, expensive welfare programs.
In Washington, they're now forcing people to prove their houses have an acceptable "home energy score" before they're allowed to sell.
A key Senate committee voted 8-7 on Thursday to advance President Donald Trump’s nominee to be the next secretary of the Department of Homeland SecurityThe vote in the Senate Homeland Security Committee sends Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., to the full Senate for consideration one day after a contentious confirmation hearing.
The committee is divided between eight Republicans and seven Democrats. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who chairs the committee, voted against Mullin after taking him to task for “anger issues” at his hearing one day earlier.
You could be forgiven for wondering who and what to believe when you go on social media or look at the regime media, or listen to politicians, and you’re bombarded with all sorts of information, opinions, and assertions about the Iran War, but take heart. There’s an easy way to sift through it all to separate the wheat of valuable insights from the chaff of absolute stupidity. If somebody’s telling you that we are losing this war, he’s an idiot, or a liar, or both, and you should ignore everything he says.
Right up front, let’s be clear about something.
U.S. Moves to Denaturalize Nigerian National

Behind Tax Scam That Targeted Over 259,000 Victims replies
The U.S. Department of Justice has filed and served a civil denaturalization complaint in the U.S. District Court in Baltimore, Maryland, against Emmanuel Oluwatosin Kazeem, a native of Nigeria who organized a vast conspiracy to steal identities and file fraudulent tax returns.
In 2017, he was convicted of 19 counts of mail and wire fraud, aggravated identity theft and conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and sentenced to 15 years in prison. But in 2024, then-President Biden commuted his sentence after only six years.
The newly filed denaturalization complaint alleges that Kazeem’s fraud scheme, which he committed in the years before and after his naturalization,
As a member of the conservative media ecosystem, I see stories all the time about the heinous crimes that illegal aliens commit. It’s always terrible to hear about people losing their lives at the hands of illegals, but certain crimes hit home for me in a different way. (Snip) Another death at the hands of an illegal immigrant hit home for me this week, and not just because it also took place in my home state. Earlier this month, Thomas “Wayne” Reynolds perished when Guatemalan illegal alien Felix Domingo Perez Camacho caused an accident that claimed Reynolds’ life. ICE caught Camacho this week.
If Democrats believe it is permissible and even laudable to break our immigration laws, can we really be surprised when Democrat staffers break other laws too in order to assist criminal foreigners?
Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin posted accusations from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that one of Rep. Veronica Escobar's (D-Texas) staffers illegally impersonated a lawyer in order to assist detainees. Benito Torres lied about his credentials so that he could have access to illegal aliens and provide them cell phones. Escobar did not respond to Melugin‘s request for comment, which is hardly surprising.
Comedian and podcast host Adam Carolla totally nuked liberal Democrats for criticizing President Donald Trump and his domestic and foreign policies, going on to say, quite loudly, what conservatives have been thinking about individuals who wish former Vice President Kamala Harris had won the 2024 election. It would be the understatement of the year to say Carolla didn't hold back.
“If Kamala Harris was in charge right now, Iran would have a nuclear device and the border would be wide open. So SHUT THE F*** UP! SHUT UP! You don’t know what the f*** you’re talking about! You’re DUMB!” Carolla stated during a recent episode of his podcast.
New York City's first lady, Rama Duwaji, glorified terrorist violence in a wide range of posts made on social media when she was a teenager and in her early 20s, celebrating members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) terror group and the First Intifada, a Washington Free Beacon review of her old X and Tumblr accounts found.
Duwaji, 28, posted a photo to her Tumblr account in September 2017, when she would have been 20 years old, of the infamous Palestinian terrorist Leila Khaled. Under the username "diimashq," she echoed one of Khaled's most famous statements.

I should call today's newsletter Sophie's Choice. She (snip) likened our situation with NATO to that of the Little Red Hen. (snip) when it came time to eat the bread, each one volunteered to help. The Little Red Hen told them "No. You did not help (snip.) I will eat the bread myself." The other animals shrugged their shoulders, went to the store, took out their EBT cards, and ate lobster and steak. (snip) Which brings up America's Little Orange Rooster. (snip) Each nay-saying nation wants and needs that oil from the strait of Hormuz (snip.) the rest of the NATO countries believe they still have EBT cards.
Useful idiots in California want to bend the knee to Islam, removing all doubt that this state can be saved.
KTXL reported on Sunday that Democratic State Assemblyman Matt Haney has introduced a bill that would officially recognize two Muslim holidays — Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha — as state holidays.
Eid al-Fitr, as the BBC noted, means “festival of the breaking of the fast,” marking the end of Ramadan. Muslim community leaders commended the bill as a “historic step” in efforts to combat Islamophobia, per KTXL.
Arkansas governor says she was asked to

leave a restaurant because employees felt 'threatened' replies
Arkansas GOP Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Thursday that she was asked to leave a restaurant in Little Rock last week because her presence made employees and customers feel "threatened."
Sanders previously served as White House press secretary during President Donald Trump's first term and has since been a supporter of the president's immigration policies.
The governor said she was dining with two other moms at the restaurant, which has been identified as The Croissanterie, when the owner allegedly told members of her security detail that Sanders must leave because her "presence made their employees feel threatened."
"Arkansans are known for their warm hospitality, and while that restaurant didn’t meet
A US F-35 fighter jet was forced to make an emergency landing at a US air base in the Middle East after being struck by what is believed to be Iranian fire, CNN reported on Thursday, citing two sources familiar with the matter.
Iranian media claimed the IRGC was behind the hit shortly after.
According to Capt. Tim Hawkins, a spokesperson for US Central Command, the F-35 was "flying a combat mission over Iran" when it was struck and was forced to make an emergency landing.
"The aircraft landed safely, and the pilot is in stable condition," CNN quoted Hawkins as saying.
"The incident is under investigation," Hawkins added.
The Senate Homeland Security Committee voted Thursday to advance Senator Markwayne Mullin’s nomination to serve as the next Homeland Security secretary, with Democratic Senator John Fetterman crossing party lines to give Mullin the deciding vote.
Mullin was able to overcome staunch opposition from committee Chair Rand Paul (R., Ky.), who questioned the Oklahoma Republican’s fitness for the role, describing him as “a man with anger issues.”
Now that Mullin’s nomination has successfully advanced out of committee, he is expected to be confirmed by the full Senate despite opposition from Democrats who have raised questions about an overseas trip Mullin says he took to a combat zone several years ago.
Cali Dems thought they had everything all figured out. They had a plan, and it was working like a finely oiled machine.
Until it suddenly wasn’t. Years ago, Dems rolled out the “top-two” primary system with one assumption baked in for good measure: no matter what happens, two Democrats would likely always make it to the general election. It was supposed to lock in control, sideline Republicans, and keep everything nice and predictable.
And for a while, sure, it worked.
But these kinds of machines only work if your side stays disciplined. You need a clear front-runner, maybe two, and everyone else falls in line.
But that’s not what’s happening now.
The Democrats oppose voter ID laws and are in favor of mail-in voting, while calling Republicans fascists for not agreeing with them.
However, a review of voting laws around the world shows that the overwhelming majority of countries, at least 176 nations and jurisdictions, require voter ID.
Many have no mail-in voting at all, while others allow only very limited domestic mail-in voting restricted to those who are hospitalized, and no country allows illegal aliens to vote.
While a small number of countries permit long-term legal residents to vote in local elections under strict residency conditions, even fewer allow non-citizen residents to vote in national elections.
California lawmakers said Thursday they planned to change the name of “César Chavez Day” to “Farmworkers Day” after sexual abuse allegations against the late civil rights leader arose earlier this week.
The New York Times reported Wednesday that Chavez had groomed and sexually abused young girls within the labor rights movement while he served as leader of the United Farm Workers Union. One of those women was Dolores Huerta, who co-founded the union with Chavez in 1962.
Huerta came forward this week with allegations that she was victimized by Chavez in her 30s.
Does Election Day actually mean Election Day?
That’s the key issue the U.S. Supreme Court is going to consider when it holds oral arguments in a pivotal elections case next week.Known as Watson v. RNC, the legal dispute centers around a challenge to a Mississippi law allowing election officials to accept mail-in ballots up to five business days after Election Day so long as they are postmarked on or before the day of the contest. The issue of accepting late-arriving ballots has become a prominent issue in elections in recent years, with more than a dozen states permitting such a practice.
Later this month, protesters will gather across the U.S. for the third “No Kings” rally since President Donald Trump returned to office, and the Minnesota Capitol is set to host the largest rally. The national flagship rally at the Capitol in St. Paul is among more than 3,000 events planned on Saturday, March 28 as part of the national “No Kings” movement protesting Trump and his administration. Celebrity activists including Jane Fonda, Joan Baez and Maggie Rogers are slated to join Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, Attorney General Keith Ellison and other Minnesota officials for the big event.

The South Pars/North Dome field is a natural-gas condensate field located in the Persian Gulf. It is by far the world’s largest natural gas field, with ownership of the field shared between Iran and Qatar. According to the International Energy Agency, the field holds an estimated 1,800 trillion cubic feet of in-site natural gas. (map)President Trump is not happy about Israel’s unilateral decision to strike at the Pars gas field; however, pay attention to what Trump diplomatically describes as the motive:
[TRUTH SOCIAL] – “Israel, out of anger for what has taken place in the Middle East, has violently lashed out at a major facility known as South Pars Gas Field
Given Iran’s half century of cruel barbarism in the Middle East, it’s hard to understand why the Democrats seem to be rooting for them in the current war. I have two theories.
One is the obvious one. The Dems are not so much rooting for Iran, as rooting against Iran’s enemy. Bad as Iran is, its enemy is even worse in the eyes of the Dems.
Iran’s enemy, you see – or at least the Dems see – has a history of its own cruel barbarism going back to at least 1619. Iran’s enemy has engaged in genocide against native people. Iran’s enemy has wrongly oppressed workers of the world

say Britain now has 'most extreme' abortion legislation replies
Religious leaders and pro-life advocates are raising alarms about changes to abortion laws in Britain after the House of Lords advanced legislation that would remove penalties for women who terminate their pregnancies. [snip] "The clause would change the law so it would no longer be illegal for women to perform their own abortions for any reason, including sex-selective purposes, and at any point up to and during birth," Right to Life said in a March 18 statement.
A “parents council” the Biden administration promoted as bipartisan was built behind the scenes with ideologically aligned groups, according to internal emails, undercutting its bipartisan claim.
Biden's Department of Education framed the National Parents and Families Engagement Council as a coalition meant to reflect a wide range of parent voices during the post-COVID recovery.
“The National Parents and Families Engagement Council will help ensure recovery efforts meet students’ needs.”
The internal emails, "obtained through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the U.S. Department of Education (ED)," tell a different story. They show officials working with outside organizations to shape the council’s membership,
Roughly 200,000 immigrant truck drivers in the United States are set to lose their commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) this week under a new Trump administration rule that went into effect Monday to keep illegal immigrants off the road. Under the rule, non-citizens, including asylum seekers, refugees, and recipients of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), will no longer be eligible to obtain CDLs, even if they are legally authorized to work in the United States. Those who already hold licenses will not be able to renew them when they expire.
U.S. installations were at Force Protection Condition Charlie, a threat posture used when commanders have intelligence that an attack or danger is possible, as unknown drones flew over Fort Lesley J. McNair in Washington, where Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth live, and officials still did not know who sent them.[insert] Multiple drones were spotted over the base on a single night within the past 10 days, setting off increased security measures and a White House meeting as officials scrambled for an answer, and still did not know where the drones came from.
