Robert Mueller, a former FBI director who led the investigation into allegations of Russian meddling in the 2016 election, has died, multiple sources told CBS News on Saturday. He was 81. A cause of death was not shared. Mueller is survived by his wife of nearly 60 years, Ann Cabell Standish, their two daughters, and three grandchildren. His death was first reported by MS Now. Mueller served as FBI director from 2001 to 2013. In 2017, the Justice Department appointed him special counsel to investigate potential coordination between Russia and the Trump team during the 2016 presidential election. The nearly
Let me start by saying there is a lot of misleading information circling current events, some of it by what CTH considers very dubious alt-right voices. I suggest just to be leery of “exclusive” insider information. There are motives and angles that are not obvious and would not be comfortable for those who follow events closely.
[As an example, the election/voting information -connected to the Intelligence Community- and recently outlined by John Solomon, is not new. What Solomon is rehashing is the background information exposed by Catherine Engelbrecht and True the Vote surrounding Chinese involvement in prior elections(snip) Engelbrecht gave the FBI the data, the FBI

of Intimidation In Prop 50 Discrepancy Investigation replies
Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, a leading Republican gubernatorial candidate, held a press conference Friday morning to expose what he described as repeated attempts by Attorney General Rob Bonta to intimidate and derail his office's investigation into a massive 45,896-ballot discrepancy in the November 2025 Proposition 50 special election. Bianco detailed a stunning mismatch uncovered through an audit of handwritten logs maintained by the Riverside County Registrar of Voters: county records show just 611,428 ballots cast. Yet Secretary of State Shirley Weber certified 657,322 votes to the state -- a gap neither Bonta nor Weber ever publicly questioned or explained.

~A Thought for the Day from David Blair in our comments section:
It's time to move past your reticence to have initiated the war and get behind Trump. Your fear that it might end badly is noted.
"Get behind Trump"? That might be better directed at Vance, Gabbard, Kennedy and other cabinet members whose discomfort with the strange turn of events is palpable either through their sudden absence from public life or when they're testifying to Congress and trying to walk the fine line between not getting fired now and not getting impeached by the incoming Democrat majority in January.

The most important contemporary phenomenon for our politics and, perhaps, for the future of our country is the ongoing sorting of our citizens into red and blue states. The dynamic is pretty simple: people are leaving blue states for red states, with the single exception of those whose first priority is lavish welfare benefits, who therefore seek out blue states. This might seem like a terrible deal for the blue states, and of course it is, in the long term.
But meanwhile, things are not all bad for Democratic politicians. They are getting rid of a lot of pesky businessmen and others who tend to vote against them,
Tesla and Space X CEO Elon Musk offered on Saturday to pay the salaries of TSA employees during the shutdown. "I would like to offer to pay the salaries of TSA personnel during this funding impasse that is negatively affecting the lives of so many Americans at airports throughout the country," Musk wrote on X. By law, federal employees receive back pay after a government shutdown comes to an end. However, many TSA employees are reportedly calling out due to not receiving paychecks, resulting in long security lines.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday indicated that the Islamic regime would not be overthrown without a "ground component" to the current conflict.

There are many possibilities for this ground component, and I take the liberty of not sharing with you all those possibilities."
Democrats in the Minnesota House of Representatives blocked legislation that would make it a crime to disrupt a church service with the intent to interfere with the free exercise of religion. The vote came eight weeks after a St. Paul church was stormed by agitators. (snip) Minnesota law does not have a statute that criminalizes the disruption of a church service.

After putting an aggressive redraw of the state’s congressional map before voters, some Virginia Democrats are growing uneasy about its prospects for passage one month out from the special election. (Snip) Some supporters of the Virginia referendum acknowledge the challenge of convincing voters to back a gerrymandered map when Democrats, who several years ago backed the formation of the state’s bipartisan redistricting commission, have criticized Republicans for similar moves. Virginia voters are also not accustomed to going to the polls in April, when Democrats scheduled the special election, making turnout particularly unpredictable.

An unassuming office building on a side street in Los Angeles is being called a “ground zero” example of suspected, widespread hospice care fraud underway in California.
The Merabi Professional Medical Plaza, a 32,000-square-foot, stucco and glass building in the Van Nuys neighborhood of the LA’s San Fernando Valley is reportedly the home to 89 licensed hospice companies.
Sheila Clark, a patient advocate working to expose fraud in the hospice industry, called the building a “ground zero” example of the financial exploitation of taxpayer-funded programs like Medicare and Medicaid.
The building and the state records of the companies located there were highlighted Thursday in the latest installment of an ongoing investigation
Americans could soon pay nearly a dollar to mail a first-class letter as the U.S. Postal Service seeks higher rates to address deepening financial losses.
Postmaster General David Steiner told a House Oversight Committee hearing that the agency wants to increase the price of a first-class stamp from the current 78 cents to between 90 cents and 95 cents.
The Postal Service posted a $9 billion loss in 2025 and faces the risk of running out of cash within 12 months if no changes are made.
“As you all know, there are only three things that any company can do to improve financial performance — sell more products, raise prices, or cut costs,”
Less than $600. That’s how much taxpayer money the Trump administration just spent to give American workers more of the transparency they deserve. On March 17, the Department of Labor rolled out an improved system — www.unionreports.gov — that lets workers quickly see how labor unions are spending their members’ dues. This information is essential to helping workers decide if unionization is right for them. The new transparency system is surely one of the most efficient and effective uses of taxpayer dollars in American history. Practically, the Labor Department has improved how workers and the broader public can view the disclosure forms that unions are required to file annually.
As the Trump administration works on deporting the millions of illegal immigrants that the Biden administration let in through the southern border, Democrats and the left have insisted that America is "a nation of immigrants." It's just another attempt to twist words and meanings to fit their ideology. Traditionally, immigrants expected to come to the U.S. and work hard to achieve success. As if we didn't already suspect, today's immigrants appear to have a very different idea of what coming to America is. According to a recent analysis of Census Bureau data by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), almost half of households headed by immigrants, both legal and illegal,

A California-born U.S. citizen whose mother is a Mexican national and is reportedly part of a drug and money laundering cartel herself, has now taken the helm of Mexico’s most dangerous cartel as the Supreme Court is set to consider a Trump administration challenge to the very birthright policy that granted him that citizenship.
Multiple reports indicate that the 41-year-old Juan Carlos Valencia González, a dual U.S. and Mexican citizen, took charge of the notorious "Jalisco New Generation" cartel (CJNG) in the aftermath of a Mexican special forces raid that took out the cartel’s former boss, El Mencho, last month.

Banking groups are trying to block a White House plan to exclude millions of illegal migrants from the nation’s banking system, according to the Washington Post.
The plan would pressure migrants to self-deport and so help President Donald Trump carry out his 2024 promise and mandate to deport millions of illegal migrants admitted by the Democratic Party and their business allies.
“The Trump administration has delayed an executive order that could have required banks to collect and report more information on the immigration status of their customers, after Wall Street and small community lenders pushed back,”
The use of the agricultural input glyphosate may be one of the most hotly contested issues within public health right now. For some, glyphosate is proof that modern agriculture is poison. For others, it is an example of anti-science panic.
Both reactions avoid the hard truth: glyphosate is a critical agricultural input with contested cancer literature, collapsing public trust, and a set of policy tradeoffs that are too often ignored.
The large scale skepticism of glyphosate safety started in 2015 when the WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer classified glyphosate as probably carcinogenic (Group 2A), based on “limited” evidence in humans alongside animal and mechanistic evidence.
Democrats and their media allies are suddenly wrapping themselves in the First Amendment like it’s a campaign prop. As California Gov. Gavin Newsom sues Fox News for $787 million in defamation over its coverage of a phone call with President Donald Trump, Jimmy Kimmel blasts the FCC for an “attack on free speech” after his show was suspended amid controversy over remarks about Charlie Kirk’s assassination—with affiliates preempting episodes and over 1,600 complaints flooding the agency.

As the “endless” conflict in Iran neared third weeks old, it continued to dominate the news and, to a large extent, the memes. Reports of a gay Ayatollah prompted a great deal of meme-merriment. Of course there was other news: the Democrats’ shutdown of DHS continued, freedom for Cuba glimmered on the horizon, Chuck Norris died. Allegedly. And, finally–Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Oh wait, one more thing–reportedly there was some kind of party in Hollywood last week, but I don’t know anything about it because no one watched it.
So, as they say, without further ado:

A six-year-old white girl was punished because she wrote “Black lives mater/any life [sic]” after a lesson about Martin Luther King in March, 2021—because blacks are treated as sacred by American culture, especially in public schools. The Pacific Legal Foundation wrote in 2024 (emphases added):

Anno Domini 2020 changed America, and not for the better. The canonization of Saint George Floyd of Fentanyl birthed the “Summer of Love” that badly damaged the blue cities that embraced it, and did worse damage to American’s respect for the rule of law. And the multitude of hoaxes foisted on Americans by our public health establishment over Covid did probably irreversible damage to American’s faith in those public health bureaucrats in particular and science in general.
To be sure, Americans still recognize the difference between actual scientists rigorously employing the Scientific Method as opposed to political hacks and power seekers employing angry, arrogant rhetoric, but few if any

In case you hadn’t noticed, Donald Trump is having an incredible run. Neocon Don is off the leash and serving up peak-era Trump quotes like it’s 2016. He rattled off a hall-of-fame response in the Oval Office on Thursday after a Japanese reporter asked him why he didn’t give U.S. allies a heads-up before bombing Iran.
“We didn’t tell anybody about it because we wanted surprise,” Trump said while sitting next to the Japanese prime minister.

Philanthropist and fundraiser George Pond is expanding President Donald Trump's 2025 National Day of Prayer Proclamation, encouraging intentional and frequent prayer for the nation through a new effort called the 7:14 Initiative.
"We've been doing this since May 2024. We've been praying every day. We haven't stopped. May 2 will be our 714th day, and we will continue to pray, and a lot of it has to do with basically focusing on unpacking the principles built into scripture."
The initiative, which urges believers to spend 14 minutes in prayer, seven days a week, at 7:14 a.m., has expanded to participants across four time zones,
