The Trump administration is freezing more than $1 billion in federal funds to Cornell and $790 million in funding for Northwestern University in response to civil rights investigations at both schools.
“The money was frozen in connection with several ongoing, credible, and concerning Title VI investigations,” a Trump admin official told Fox News.

In another troubling revelation, the Biden administration is facing scrutiny after reports emerged that it allegedly suppressed a crucial document suggesting that U.S. service members may have contracted COVID-19 as early as October 2019, possibly in Wuhan. The report, which could have far-reaching implications for the timeline of the pandemic’s origins, was reportedly hidden from the public eye, sparking concerns over transparency and accountability within the administration.
“To jaw-jaw is always better than to war-war,” Winston Churchill reportedly said.
We will soon know if Iran agrees.
The talks scheduled for Saturday between Iran and the United States are shaping up as a crucial test of the mad mullahs’ intentions. If they are hell-bent on building nuclear weapons, war is inevitable.
It would be war with Israel and probably with America, too. For Iran, that means taking on the Little Satan and the Great Satan simultaneously.
That’s what the crazy mullahs always said they wanted. If it hasn’t occurred to them yet, soon they will realize what a colossal mistake they have made.
The North Carolina Supreme Court halted a previous order from the state appeals court requiring the verification of 65,000 questionable ballots.
This case has been bouncing around between state and federal courts.
Last week 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.
The 2-1 decision was authored by Judges John Tyson and Fred Gore both registered Republicans.
A teacher who expressed anger over the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade has pleaded guilty to attempting to assassinate Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Nicholas John Roske was arrested outside Kavanaugh's home last year, allegedly armed with a firearm, a knife, and zip ties. Out of rage over the Court's landmark decision, he confessed to the crime. His actions highlight the alarming and dangerous rhetoric emanating from the left as violent threats against conservative justices and public figures continue to escalate.

McConnell for Grand Display of ‘Political Pettiness’ 11 replies
Vice President JD Vance lit up Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) after the senator voted against the nomination of Elbridge Colby to serve as Under Secretary of Policy at the Defense Department, describing the move as a grand display of “political pettiness.”
“Mitch’s vote today — like so much of the last few years of his career — is one of the great acts of political pettiness I’ve ever seen,” Vance said, as Colby’s nomination brought out the worst of globalists. (X) In a statement explaining his vote against President Donald Trump’s choice, McConnell asserted that Colby’s public record “suggests a willingness to discount the complexity of the challenges facing America,
CNN’s Senior Data Reporter, Harry Enten, delivered unwelcome news to Democrats who rage against President Trump and call him a “king.” According to a recent poll, a majority of Americans disagree.
Further, for those worried Trump’s second term would be as a “lame duck” Enten said far from that, Trump is “a soaring eagle.”
Harry Enten: I think there was this concern among some folks that Donald Trump would come in for a second term and be a lame duck. He ain’t no lame duck. If anything, he’s a soaring eagle.

PHOENIX — Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem isn’t afraid of getting her hands dirty on President Trump’s deportation raids.
Noem led about 100 federal agents on an early morning raid Tuesday in Arizona’s capital, where they nabbed three illegal migrants wanted on charges from weapons and drug offenses to running a money laundering operation.
The Post was there as she dodged kicks from a suspect wearing slip-on shoes and gamely told him, “You’re not scaring me with your Croc.” (Photos) The multi-agency task force — led by Phoenix Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and joined by a coterie of federal law enforcement and immigration agencies — nabbed three illegal immigrant felons
The Trump administration is proposing a $998 a day fine for illegal migrants who refuse to self-deport.
The suggested policy could also result in the confiscation of property if the migrants do not pay the fines. A similar plan was put in place in 2018 during Trump’s first term in office and is reportedly based on a law passed in 1996, according to a report by Reuters. The policy in 2018 was far more narrowly invoked. Trump used the 1996 law to levy fines on nine migrants who had taken shelter inside churches, eventually imposing a $60,000 per migrant fine in that case.
As virtually the entire country — not the least of which are the social media keyboard jockeys — continues to follow the latest White House developments and stock market reactions to President Donald Trump's currently-fluid "reciprocal tariffs" policy on products imported to the U.S. from much of the world, a noted former economic advisor to President Ronald has explained how Trump can create a "win-win" exit strategy.That is, as author and economist Arthur Laffer explained during an interview on Fox Business’ “Varney & Co.,” that Trump’s initial plan — to use tariffs solely as leverage for negotiating fairer trade relationships all around —

administration to reinstate thousands

Washington — The Supreme Court on Tuesday blocked an order for the Trump administration to return to work thousands of federal employees who were let go in mass firings aimed at dramatically downsizing the federal government. The justices acted in the administration’s emergency appeal of a ruling by a federal judge in California ordering that 16,000 probationary employees be reinstated while a lawsuit plays out because their firings didn’t follow federal law.
The effect of the high court’s order will keep employees in six federal agencies on paid administrative leave for now. Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson said they would have kept the judge’s order in place.

I don't even know where to start with this one. Every time this woman opens her mouth, she says something dumber than the last time she spoke. Yes, you may have guessed that I'm talking about the most obnoxious person in politics at the moment, Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas).
Apparently, Crockett was the guest speaker at the 125th Anniversary Program at Grace Baptist Church in Connecticut over the weekend, and while I've only seen a minute or so of her speech, it didn't come across as very Godly or Christian-like. In fact, it's extremely racist and offensive. But considering the source, are we surprised?
The federal judge who blocked the Trump administration's use of a 1798 wartime law to immediately deport Venezuelan nationals canceled a planned Tuesday court hearing to review the case after the Supreme Court handed a win to the president. In a minute order published Tuesday morning, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg announced that the previously scheduled Tuesday afternoon hearing would be vacated in light of the high court's ruling, which determined, among other things, that the "appropriate venue for such proceedings is the Southern District of Texas," or wherever plaintiffs that are subject to potential removal are currently being held.
A federal judge on Tuesday ordered the White House to restore the Associated Press’s access to presidential events, saying that the decision to impose limitations violated the news organization’s free speech rights.
U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden ruled that it was unconstitutional for the Trump administration to punish the AP because it refused to change its style guidance for the Gulf of Mexico, which President Trump renamed the Gulf of America. McFadden ordered the White House to restore the AP’s access to the Oval Office, Air Force One, “and other limited spaces when such spaces are made open to other members of the White House press pool.”
WASHINGTON — The White House warned Monday that President Trump would veto a bipartisan bill that would mandate congressional approval of all tariffs should it arrive on his desk.
Trump’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) said the measure introduced last week by Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) “would severely constrain the President’s ability to use authorities long recognized by Congress and upheld by the courts to respond to national emergencies and foreign threats.”
The Trade Review Act also “eliminates leverage over foreign trading partners, inhibits reshoring and supply chain resilience, fosters market uncertainty, and introduces procedural micromanagement,” the OMB Statement of Administration Policy added.
ABC News made a big deal of their extensive, months-long search for someone to fill their “conservative” seat, so one would think presenting a diversity of opinion on The View would be a priority. But a new NewsBusters study showed that it’s more than just a name. “The View” also represented the fact that only one view, the liberal view was permitted; they were exposed by the fact that in the first three months of 2025, they had ZERO right-leaning guests on the program to talk politics.
Since coming back after their winter break on January 6, through April 4 (the Friday before the 6th), The View had 63 guests
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has fired a senior US officer assigned to NATO, the Pentagon announced Tuesday, saying her removal was due to a loss of confidence in her ability to lead.
Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield is the latest in a string of top officers to be dismissed by Donald Trump’s administration, part of a rare major shakeup of senior US military leadership since the president returned to office in January. Hegseth removed Chatfield “from her position as US representative to NATO’s military committee due to a loss of confidence in her ability to lead,
An appeals court on Monday cleared the way for billionaire Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency to once again access people’s private data at three federal agencies, a win for the Trump administration as the underlying lawsuit plays out.
In a split ruling, the three-judge panel blocked a lower court decision that halted DOGE access at the Education Department, the Treasury Department and the Office of Personnel Management. The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has also sided with the Trump administration in other cases, including allowing DOGE access to U.S. Agency for International Development and letting executive orders against diversity, equity and inclusion move forward.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem took part in early-morning deportation raids in Arizona Tuesday, almost getting kicked by an illegal alien as he was detained in the back of a police vehicle.
Noem, who takes part in the raids to remind criminal aliens that there's a new sheriff in town, was speaking with a suspect who had just been cuffed and placed in the back of the SUV.
"Do you understand the charges against you?" she asked Jose Escobar-Robles, who was being picked up for reportedly illegally funneling money to Mexican drug cartels.
Escobar-Robles's response was muffled, but Noem replied, "Yeah, well, you're gonna be prosecuted."

Recent incidents of vandalism targeting Tesla vehicles with swastikas has raised questions amongst leftists about the limits and interpretation of hate crime laws. As violence and domestic terrorism by Trump haters against Elon Musk and Tesla escalate, many on the left are trying to excuse extreme acts of vandalism.
The New York Times reports that in recent weeks, a series of vandalism incidents involving swastikas being drawn or carved onto Tesla vehicles in New York City has sparked a complex debate about the definition and application of hate crime laws. While the use of swastikas, a symbol of Nazi Germany and antisemitism, would typically be considered a clear-cut case
From diversity and gay rights to freedom of speech and protest, anti-Trump activists in New York shared their visions of an "ideal America" during interviews with Fox News Digital on Saturday, at the 'Hands Off!' protest movement.
"For me, an ideal America is one where people can protest like this and have their voices heard, and they are the ones who are running the country — not somebody who's taken over the country and no longer allows the First Amendment to be spoken," said one unnamed, masked protester, holding a sign which had the scientific symbol for "resistor."
If you're gonna be a master of sneaky pete, a master meddler, you'd better be sure your sneaky schemes work. Obama's didn't.
Which is how he's found himself in this predicament, according to New York Post columnist, Miranda Devine, who cited findings from a new book by a couple of reporters: It used to be said that President Joe Biden was serving former President Obama’s third term, that his former boss was controlling him from the home he had bought in DC’s ritzy Kalorama neighborhood, two miles from the White House.
The feeling was that Obama was the real leader of the Democratic Party
