Democrat donors are flooding cash into former Navy SEAL Ed Gallrein’s bid to oust Republican Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie.
Gallrein is running in Kentucky’s 4th Congressional District and has been endorsed by President Donald Trump. But despite previously criticizing the political makeup of Massie’s donors, Gallrein has received a number of high-value donations from people who have previously given to Democrat candidates.
85% of donors who contributed the maximum amount allowable to Gallrein’s campaign have a history of donating to Democratic candidates, a Daily Caller review of Federal Election Commission (FEC) records found.
Of the 141 donors identified in the fourth quarter who contributed the $3,500 primary maximum or more to Gallrein,
Most discussion of the SAVE America ACT has focused on how it would require proof of citizenship for voter registration and photo ID to cast ballots in federal elections. Lying Democrats claim that citizenship-confirming birth certificates are beyond the reach of mere mortals. Never mind that private and government websites help Americans order them online for home delivery.
Also, racist Democrats argue that black and brown voters are too dense to acquire photo ID, even though tens of millions of them have drivers licenses and present photo ID daily—to rent cars, cash checks, and enter Democrat-run government buildings and campaign events.
Yet another SAVE benefit has received far less attention:

Zero-Tolerance Crackdown On Illegal Drones
– $100K+ Fines & Jail replies
Joint Interagency Task Force-401 has launched a zero-tolerance crackdown on unauthorized drones in restricted airspace.
In support of the White House Task Force to Restore American Airspace Sovereignty, the Justice Department, the Homeland Security Department, the Federal Aviation Administration, and the Department of War warn that operators face severe consequences.
“As drone use continues to grow, we are stepping up enforcement, and drone pilots are expected to follow FAA regulations just like any other pilot,” said FAA Chief Counsel Liam McKenna. “Those who choose to ignore the rules will face serious consequences, including substantial fines, revocation of their airman certificate, and even criminal penalties.”
On Friday, Ali Larijani walked confidently at a rally of regime loyalists in central Tehran, his first public appearance during a war in which he was a known assassination target. “Brave people, brave officials, brave leaders. This combination cannot be defeated,” the senior Iranian official wrote on X. Four days later, he was dead Early Tuesday, Israeli intelligence located Larijani, along with other regime figures, at a hideout on the outskirts of Tehran and killed him in an airstrike. That same night, the commander of the Basij — a pro-regime volunteer militia — Gholamreza Soleimani, was also killed. Iranian civilians reported to Israel that he was hiding (snip) and
CBS News Radio will go silent in May, wiping out all the jobs in that part of the troubled network and impacting 700 radio stations.
CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss and CBS News President Tom Cibrowski announced the change Friday morning, according to The Washington Post.
“Today, we informed our CBS News Radio team and approximately 700 affiliated stations that we will end the service on May 22, 2026,” a memo to employees said. “Unfortunately, this decision means that all positions within the CBS News Radio team are being eliminated,” the memo said, saying employees would know Friday whether they are losing their job.

Recreational and tourist sites worldwide will now be a target for Iran’s aggression and what remains of the Islamic state’s leadership further added Friday it is still building missiles.
The show of defiance singling out non-combatant civilian targets anywhere on the globe comes three weeks into U.S.-Israeli strikes that have eliminated a slew of Tehran’s top leaders and hammered its weapons and energy industries, AP reports.
The outlet detailed:
Iran’s top military spokesman warned Friday that “parks, recreational areas and tourist destinations” worldwide won’t be safe for Tehran’s enemies.
Gen. Abolfazl Shekarchi made the threat as Iran continues to be hit by American and Israeli airstrikes. It renewed concerns that Iran may revert to

Mark Lynch Surges replies
Businessman Mark Lynch is surging against longtime incumbent Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) ahead of the May primary in South Carolina, a new poll provided exclusively to Breitbart News ahead of its public release shows.
On an initial ballot, Graham is well under 50 percent down at just 41 percent while Lynch has moved up to 21 percent. A third candidate, Paul Dans, is at 11 percent and 22 percent are unsure.
“Lindsey Graham is in real trouble in this solidly pro-Trump primary,” the polling memo states. “When South Carolina Republican voters learn the candidates’ records, they shift sharply to conservative challenger Mark Lynch. With a large undecided pool and strong Trump
An audio clip of a conversation between Israel’s intelligence agency, Mossad and top Iranian generals is now going viral. The recording, believed to be a chilling warning issued after the launch of Israel’s Operation Rising Lion on June 13, suggests that the generals were told to flee before the deadly strike. The tone was cold, the message crystal clear: “You’re on our list right now.” One of at least 20 such calls placed to high-ranking Iranian officials was recorded and obtained by The Washington Post. The audio captures an Israeli intelligence operative, likely from Mossad, telling a senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) general,
Saudi oil officials said prices could soar past $180 a barrel if severe supply disruptions from the war in Iran last past April – potentially hammering foreign economies and the US as gasoline costs jump at the pumps.
While it would mean big profits for a kingdom that leans heavily on oil revenues, it could also lead global consumers to slash oil use or trigger a recession, and there are also fears that it would cast Saudi Arabia as the profiteer of a war it didn’t start, officials told the Wall Street Journal.

Yet another member of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, General Ali Mohammad Naeini, was reportedly killed in an airstrike overnight. He's just the latest high-ranking Iranian official to be dispatched to the afterlife thanks to the U.S.-Israel airstrikes that have decimated Iran for the past three weeks. (X) Naeini was one of several Iranian leaders who were reportedly killed in the most recent airstrikes. Intelligence has played a vital role in this war, with information often leading to strikes so precise they target individual apartments in Iran. Shortly before his demise, Naeini insisted Iran was still building missiles and that the war would continue.
That last part may be true,
Iran's Most Powerful Weapon
replies
Three weeks into a military engagement in Iran, a war Republicans will not call a war, the American and Israeli militaries have all but wiped out Iran's capacity to make war. We have killed their leadership, the replacement leaders, and militia members on the ground. We have destroyed their missile launchers and the factories in which they made the missiles. But Iran still has one of the most powerful weapons in the world on its side, and it is ruthlessly deploying it – the American press corps.

Star Tribune Washington reporter Sydney Kashiwagi reported in the paper’s March 17 Morning Hot Dish newsletter:
Zeroing in on Omar once again. Trump especially fixated on Omar during his announcement [of a fraud task force], elevating the unproven claim that she married her brother and committed immigration fraud and is thus “here illegally and she’s a congresswoman.” Trump urged Vance and members of the task force to look into the allegations.
Omar clapped back at Trump’s remarks. She said on X that “the most disturbing part of his unhinged comments is how comfortable he is in telling the world how stupid he and his followers are.”
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese learned a valuable lesson about pandering to Islamists during a recent visit to a mosque in Sydney, with what was supposed to be a box-checking affair quickly getting out of hand.
Following Albanese's denunciations of the Iranian regime, the left-winger must have felt the need to make amends. To do so, he showed up at a mosque to sit on the floor in his socks and parrot Muslim prayers. The Islamists in the crowd weren't as eager to accept his olive branch, though.
Multiple videos showed the moment chaos erupted. At least one person tried to rush the prime minister, with the assumed

There were some great moments between Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi and President Donald Trump during their meetings and dinner on Thursday.
They worked on the question of resolving any issues in the Strait of Hormuz. Japan signed onto the allies' coalition statement issued earlier in the day.
The relationship is certainly blooming well. Takaichi confirmed that with a gift of 250 more cherry trees to the U.S. for our 250th birthday. The cherry trees from Japan in D.C. are famous and beautiful.
Takaichi praised their bond, saying how they were "best buddies" to make both countries strong and prosperous.

Chuck Norris, the legendary martial artist and action star who embodied American toughness for generations, died Thursday morning at age 86. His family announced the news on Friday in a statement posted to his Instagram account.

While we would like to keep the circumstances private, please know that he was surrounded by his family and was at peace," the statement reads.

The Islamic Republic of Iran’s judiciary on Thursday ignored a U.S. State Department warning along with pleas from elite Iranian-American wrestlers to not execute 19-year-old champion wrestler Saleh Mohammadi for protesting against the Khamenei regime.
Reports say Mohammadi was killed in a public hanging seen as a barbaric move by the Iranian regime to snuff out the ongoing movement seeking to topple it, according to Iranian American human rights activists and dissidents.
Nima Far, a human rights activist and Iranian combat athlete who is an expert on elite Iranian wrestling, told Fox News Digital, "His execution was a blatant political murder,
In 2018, then-White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was eating at the Red Hen in Lexington when the owners asked her to leave because of her politics. It was a huge controversy (and not to be confused with the September incident when President Trump and those who were with him were harassed by protesters at the D.C. eatery with the same name).
That Red Hen location closed permanently in 2023.
Now, an Arkansas eatery has started the clock on its own closure after asking Governor Huckabee Sanders to leave their establishment, again over her politics. (X) Here's more:

The nerve of a judge to deport an illegal immigrant who held the lofty status of a staff member for the New York City Council has left New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani in high dudgeon.
Rafael Andres Rubio Bohorquez, a data analyst for the council, will be deported to Venezuela. The Department of Homeland Security said Rubio overstayed his 2017 tourist visa, has an arrest for assault, and does not possess work authorization, CBS News noted.
Mamdani argued his version of reality should take precedence over the law. “Today, an administrative immigration judge ordered the deportation of Rafael Rubio, a City Council employee. This is an affront to justice,”
Russian tanker with 730,000 barrels of oil is on its way to Cuba, the communist-run island crippled by a U.S. economic blockade.
The Anatoly Kolodkin tanker is expected to reach Cuba’s Matanza oil terminal on Monday, according to news reports.
The Russian vessel had been among those sanctioned by the U.S. in retaliation for that country’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine. But President Donald Trump lifted sanctions on Russian oil exports a week ago to help steady world oil markets that turned volatile after the Israel- and U.S.-led attacks on Iran,
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed that “Israel acted alone” and that President Donald Trump had asked Israel “to hold off on future attacks” after Israel attacked Iran’s South Pars Gas Field. During a press conference on Thursday, Netanyahu poked fun at online rumors that he was dead, stating that he was “alive.” Netanyahu also gave an update on Operation Roaring Lion, explaining that both Israel and the United States were “acting together in Iran with great determination.”
In politics, it is often the people who you think have your back who end up stabbing you there.
Nobody knows that better than Donald Trump, who has been stabbed in the back more times than Julius Caesar — yet has still survived.
This week, part of the noisy right-wing online podcast-sphere again turned on the president. Leading the virtual charge, again, was Trump’s one-time cheerleader, Tucker Carlson.
There was a time when Carlson was fully Team Trump.
Carlson often appeared at Trump rallies as part of the warmup act. But in the past year, he has tried to lead the MAGA base away from Trump and down a very dark path.
California has already sued the Trump administration at least 54 times a little more than a year into his second term. State Attorney General Rob Bonta claims the lawsuits are an effort to hold President Donald Trump accountable. But litigation goes both ways. The administration is now suing California over its zero-emission (in effect, electric) vehicle mandate.
The Justice Department says that California’s ZEV mandates and its stringent standards for CO2 emissions violate federal law, which expressly prohibits states from setting their own fuel economy standards for cars, adding that the California Air Resources Board’s (CARB) mandates -
El Cajon Mayor Bill Wells has a rather stunning allegation to make against the state of California. Oh wait, maybe it’s not that stunning, considering Gavin Newsom’s Golden State is often at the heart of some of the most bat guano policies you’ll ever come across.
Wells says that officials actually hamper child welfare checks because they wouldn’t want to inadvertently come across an illegal alien and have to do something about it.
He wrote an op-ed for Fox News Thursday where he detailed the insanity:Wells had more to say in his op-ed, and it will make your blood boil. This is the definition of one-party progressive rule run amok:
