Deportation Flights replies
Well, Attorney General Pam Bondi isn’t going to discuss further the details regarding the deportation flights of Tren de Aragua members, a Venezuelan gang that the Trump administration has designated a foreign terror group. Judge James Boasberg, however, wanted to know the classified details regarding this operation.(snip) the Justice Department informed the courts that they’re invoking the State Secrets Act. (snip)Here is the fatal flaw with DC Obama Judge Jeb Boasberg's order:
Even if these designated foreign terrorists are entitled to individual court review before their deportation, which is disputed, the DC court is not the proper court.
Judge Boasberg did not, and does not, have the power
DOGE executive Antonio Gracias, the founder of Valor Equity Partners, joined the All In podcast on X.
During their discussion, Antonio revealed shocking information on how illegal aliens and even violent illegal aliens are accessing government benefits and even voting.
Antonio Gracias: We mapped it through to the benefit programs. We found in the benefit programs that every benefit program that was being accessed by these people, 1. 3 million of them are on Medicaid right now, today. And by the way, it’s just ramping. It’s just starting. Just to give you a point. And then out of curiosity, I woke up at 2: 00
A full 4½ years after The Post’s bombshell series on Hunter Biden’s influence-peddling schemes, The New York Times has deigned to take an interest in the former First Son’s corruption.
On Friday, the Times reported that in 2016 (nine years ago!), Hunter used his connections at the Obama State Department (and his sway as the son of the then-vice president) to try to set up a meeting with an Italian official “to resolve regulatory hurdles to geothermal energy projects” that his then-employer Burisma “was pursuing in the Tuscany region.”
As the headline says, you will note that whenever a political figure or a leftist claims that "paying taxes is patriotic," you will note that they are about to tell you that you should pay more. This is a fundamental law of the universe, to be known henceforth as Clark's Law of Taxational Patriotism: "When taxation is levied, the claim that paying taxes is an act of patriotism shall invariably be followed by a demand for a higher taxes."
The ATF and FBI have been monitoring gun purchases made by California residents to bust them for violating the state’s assault weapons ban.
Gun Owners of America (GOA) recently revealed that the ATF and FBI have been using the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) to surveil lawful gun owners to help the Golden State enforce their gun control laws.
In a recent “Minute Man Moment” episode, GOA’s Ben Sanderson broke down the operation, noting that the FBI, initially tasked with targeting violent gangs and cartels, has instead been “using unconstitutional investigations, not to enforce federal, but state gun control laws.”
Sanderson explained that federal and state law enforcement
The U.S. Supreme Court delivered some good news for the Trump administration on Friday afternoon. In a 5-4 move, the Court ruled that the administration can block teacher development grants over concerns about prioritizing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). As he's done before, Chief Justice John Roberts sided with the liberals. With such a ruling, the Court has granted an emergency request to stay a Massachusetts court order that would have required the administration to reinstate the grants.
A group of Democrats on the House Homeland Security Committee is visiting the southern border Friday, a visit that “comes years too late,” according to Rep. Mark Green, the Republican chairman of the committee.
“It’s no coincidence that committee Democrats are choosing to visit the border after President [Donald] Trump cleaned up the mess created by the Biden administration,” said Green, R-Tenn.
The Democrat delegation is visiting the San Diego Border Sector to “conduct oversight” of the Trump administration’s handling of the situation at the southern border, according to Fox News. But the visit is closed to press.
Iran is beating a retreat from Yemen, where it has backed the Houthi rebels, who in turn have launched missiles and drones against Israel, and have also attacked international shipping in the Red Sea, as well as western naval vessels.
The reason: U.S. President Donald Trump has launched a relentless assault on the Houthis while also restoring a “maximum pressure” campaign of sanctions that makes it impossible for Iran to sustain its overseas terror proxies.
The UK Telegraph reported on Thursday:
Iran has ordered military personnel to leave Yemen, abandoning its Houthi allies as the US escalates an air strike campaign against the rebel group.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced Friday it will not be finalizing a rule proposed by the Biden administration that would have allowed Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries access to anti-obesity drugs such as the highly in-demand GLP-1 medications.
In November last year, the Biden administration proposed a new rule that would allow drugs like Wegovy and Zepbound to be covered by Medicare and Medicaid, expanding access for roughly 3.4 million Medicare users and about 4 million Medicaid enrollees.
In today’s edition of Hollywood Hates You More Than It Loves Money, Meryl Streep is in talks to play Aslan in Netflix’s upcoming Narnia movie.
Christian author C.S. Lewis made no secret of the fact that Aslan, the talking lion in his timeless Narnia series, was meant to be an allegory, a stand-in, for Jesus.
Netflix being Netflix, I expected Aslan the Lion to become Aslan the Black Panther. Sadly, my failure of imagination once again underestimated just how much Netflix and Hollywood hate and seek to alienate Christians, especially when they can do it with our own stories.
A major part of a first-of-its-kind green energy project, which the Biden administration bragged about, is now lying in ruins and polluting some of America’s beautiful ocean and seashore in Nantucket, Massachusetts.
Exclusive images obtained by Fox News Digital show the shattered remains of what is left of an ocean wind turbine constructed by Vineyard Wind in a green energy project touted by the Biden administration.
The turbine was recently struck by lightning and destroyed just months after one of its blades dangerously fell
Leonel Moreno, the now-deported Venezuelan illegal migrant “TikTok influencer” who taught other illegal migrants how to break into American homes on social media, will be prosecuted for “hate crimes” and child exploitation, Venezuelan Attorney General Tarek William Saab announced Thursday.
The Venezuelan Public Ministry made the announcement on its official Instagram account. In the statement, Saab said Moreno published “criminal content inciting hatred against Venezuelan citizens” through social media.
“Saab pointed out that he also uses his underage daughter, thus defiling his own family in order to profit illicitly,” the statement read.

from Woke Infrastructure Program to Disaster Relief replies
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on Friday announced it would redirect $895 million from a woke infrastructure program to aid disaster relief, Breitbart News has learned exclusively. “The BRIC program was yet another example of a wasteful and ineffective FEMA program. It was more concerned with political agendas than helping Americans effected by natural disasters. The BRIC program was created as part of the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, otherwise known as the so-called infrastructure bill, which is known to have many leftist carveouts.
The head of New York City public schools was forced to apologize for linking a “Stop Gaza Genocide Toolkit” in a newsletter this month — sparking outrage in the Jewish community.
The Office of Student Pathways Newsletter, which is blasted out monthly to select teachers and parents across the nation’s largest public school system, included a bullet point titled “Guidelines for teaching about genocide” — which linked to a Google doc titled “STOP GAZA GENOCIDE TOOLKIT.”
The 17-page document contains radicalized messaging that encourages readers to “Stop arming Israel and free Palestine!”
The ‘toolkit’ breaks down how to mobilize pro-Palestine campaigns on social media,
The US Supreme Court in a 5-4 vote on Friday sided with the Trump Administration and blocked a Massachusetts judge’s order requiring it to reinstate $250 million in Department of Education DEI training to eight states.
In an unsigned order, Chief Justice Roberts sided with the liberal justices and would have denied Trump’s emergency application.
Liberal justices Kagan, Jackson and Sotomayor dissented.
House Democrats from all over the country are abandoning their swing seats to run for statewide office, creating a nightmare scenario for embattled Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries’ (D-NY) bid to claim the House from Republicans.
Rep. Chris Pappas (D-NH) announced Thursday he would opt for a Senate run over reelection, the latest hit for Jeffries.Freshman Rep. Maggie Goodlander (D-NH) is considering a run in the Granite State as well. Her announcement would mean Democrats must replace both of their incumbent House members in the two-congressional district state, drawing limited resources from other competitive races across the country.
In just two weeks, U.S. Immigration and Customs (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations officers based in Houston deported 174 criminal aliens. According to the agency, the group of aliens included 24 gang members.
All of the arrested criminal aliens were deported to Mexico and, as a group, accounted for 610 criminal convictions for offenses committed in the United States. The group was no strangers to run-ins with immigration authorities as collectively, they had 415 prior removals from the United States.
The staggering statistics of crimes and prior removals the group shares may indicate they may soon attempt to return to the United States if history repeats itself.
Acting US Attorney for DC Ed Martin, is expanding his inquiry into former US Attorney Matthew Graves’ prosecutions of more than 1,500 January 6 protestors.
Ed Martin is specifically probing Graves’ abuse of the 1512(c)(2) obstruction charge.
Biden’s corrupt DOJ charged more than 300 J6ers with 18 USC §1512(c)(2). Additionally, two of the four charges against Trump in Jack Smith’s DC case were conspiracy to obstruct.
Then-US Attorney for DC, Matthew Graves, arrested and charged thousands of non-violent J6ers who didn’t even enter the Capitol building. He also threatened to seek more prison time for J6 defendants if the Supreme Court reversed the obstruction count.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris was reportedly blindsided by her 2024 election loss to President Donald Trump and “bought the hype” that she would win, according to a new book.
“She was completely shocked, and [Harris’ running mate] Tim Walz was shocked,” The Hill reporter Amie Parnes said on the podcast, “Somebody’s Gotta Win with Tara Palmeri” released Thursday.
Parnes discussed reporting in her new book, “FIGHT: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House,” which she co-authored with NBC reporter Jonathan Allen. The book tackles

justice’ scams — Team Trump is tackling
REAL threats to water, air replies
For too long, politicians and bureaucrats have been fleecing the public purse under the guise of “environmental justice” — a favorite leftist buzzword.
Instead of directly fixing actual environmental problems with our precious taxpayer dollars, the Biden Environmental Protection Agency lit them on fire to fund cronies and activist groups.
Under the Trump administration, that’s coming to an end — and as EPA administrator, I’ve gone on the road to help put the president’s promises into practice.
Many American communities are suffering with serious unresolved environmental issues, but under the “environmental justice” banner, the previous administration’s EPA showered billions on ideological allies, instead of directing those resources
The Chinese Communist Party has done what no foreign adversary should ever be able to do in the United States. It has managed to infiltrate our media, our institutions, our businesses, and even our government without facing any real consequences.[Snip] Even more disturbing is the political influence the CCP has managed to establish within our borders. China has worked tirelessly to cultivate relationships with U.S. politicians, funding lobbying efforts, business partnerships, and even election campaigns. We now have mayors, governors, and members of Congress who refuse to challenge China’s growing grip because they fear losing funding or because they are directly compromised.
US District Judge of the District Court for the District of Rhode Island, John McConnell, an Obama appointee, accused President Trump of violating his court order blocking his federal funding freeze.
In January Judge McConnell temporarily blocked Trump’s freeze on federal funding in response to a request from 22 Democrat state attorneys general and DC.
Trump’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) previously put a temporary pause of agency grant, loan and other financial assistance programs.
“The American people elected Donald J. Trump to be President of the United States and gave him a mandate to increase the impact of every federal taxpayer dollar.
A coalition of Democratic-led states and immigrant rights groups is urging the Supreme Court to preserve birthright citizenship and uphold a nationwide block on a Trump administration order denying citizenship to the U.S.-born children of undocumented immigrants and temporary visitors.
In a series of response filings Friday, respondents from 24 states asked the justices to reject President Donald Trump’s emergency request to narrow multiple lower court injunctions that have frozen his January order. They argued that maintaining the long-standing legal status quo is not an abuse of judicial power.
What was hailed by Democrats as a narrow 734-vote victory for Allison Riggs in the 2024 North Carolina Supreme Court race is now spiraling into electoral chaos, as a court ruling has cast doubt over tens of thousands of ballots that could flip the outcome in favor of conservative challenger Judge Jefferson Griffin.
In a stunning decision filed Thursday, the North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled that approximately 65,000 ballots—cast by voters with incomplete registration information, missing photo identification, or submitted by individuals who have never lived in North Carolina—may be invalid under state and federal election law.
