trip to Bermuda
Posted By: ConservativeYankee, 3/19/2025 2:56:20 PM
California Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara is facing criticism over his trip to Bermuda during efforts to recover from the Los Angeles County wildfires. Lara’s trip meant he wasn’t available to testify March 12 in Sacramento at the first state Senate hearing on insurance after the wildfires. Two Department of Insurance officials testified on his behalf, according to the San Joaquin Valley Sun. "I think most Californians, especially those who are currently trying to recover from the tragedies in Los Angeles, would hope the insurance commissioner would be here at home helping them recover from those tragedies, not off on a junket in Bermuda,"

On Tuesday, President Donald Trump offered to let the United States take control of nuclear power plants in the war-torn country of Ukraine in order to serve as a deterrent against ongoing attacks by Russian forces.
According to The Hill, President Trump made the offer during a phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, amid ongoing efforts to negotiate a ceasefire between the two warring countries.
“American ownership of those plants would be the best protection for that infrastructure and support for Ukrainian energy infrastructure,” said National Security Adviser Mike Waltz and Secretary of State Marco Rubio in a joint statement after the call between the two leaders.
The chief irony of Chief Justice John Roberts’ tenure at the Supreme Court is that the man so doggedly devoted to defending the judiciary has done so much to undermine it. In so doing, he has threatened not only the court’s legitimacy but the republic itself.
His latest such act wasn’t an abomination of a ruling on the level of Obamacare, the census citizenship question, or DACA; a faulty probe into a devastating leak; or a defense of the indefensible censorship-industrial complex. It was a terse three-line statement that may prove the most consequential — and corrosive — move of them all.
“No one tells Boston how to take care of our own,” Boston Mayor Michelle Wu declared Wednesday at her annual address in Fenway. “Not kings, and not presidents who think they are kings. Boston was born facing down bullies,” WCVB-TV reported.
Wu took direct aim at President Donald Trump and used her state of the city speech at MGM Music Hall to attack the president and to reassert her support for illegal migrants.
In another segment, Wu exclaimed, “We stand with immigrants,” repeated the line in Spanish, and then exclaimed, “Boston doesn’t back down.”
A married couple in Orange County, CA, were deported this week to Colombia after living in the U.S. illegally for 35 years.
After breaking into our country, Nelson Gonzalez, 59, and Gladys Gonzalez, 55, spent years trying to legalize their status. According to KTLA 5, a spokesperson for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement explained that the couple had “exhausted all legal options to remain in the U.S. between March 2000 and August 2021.” But they still didn’t return home.
The couple has three daughters, aged 23 to 33, who were born in the U.S., which makes them legal citizens. KTLA 5 says, “They were devastated when they learned their parents had been
Close to 40,000 illegal aliens from China are now living in the United States despite having been ordered deported by a federal immigration judge, a new report suggests.
“Roughly 390,000 undocumented Chinese immigrants live in the US, according to the Migration Policy Institute, with more than a quarter residing in California,” The Guardian reports. “Nearly 38,000 of them are thought to have final removal orders, according to ICE data from November.”
The Biden administration allowed illegal immigration from China to boom in the U.S. from 2021 through 2024. Last year, for instance, the House Homeland Security Committee published southern border data showing that Chinese illegal immigration had increased to record levels.
A former FBI agent said the continued high-profile arrests of the nation’s most wanted signals law enforcement has refocused its efforts towards its core mission.
FBI Director Kash Patel said it has arrested three fugitives from the agency’s top ten Most Wanted list since President Donald Trump returned to the White House.
Nicole Parker, a former FBI agent and Fox News contributor, explained, “This is the FBI that I was proud to work for, and I’m really excited to see that they have already arrested several of the FBI’s Most Wanted fugitives. When President Trump took over in 2017 in his first administration, I was a violent crime agent in Miami,
Former First Lady Michelle Obama donned a new hairdo during her latest podcast interview with Hollywood actor Seth Rogan.
Michelle Obama launched a new podcast with her brother, Craig Robinson, and it’s a total flop.
The new venture, the “IMO” podcast, was launched by Higher Ground, the Obamas’ media company.
The latest episode titled, “Navigating Alzheimer’s Disease with Seth and Lauren Rogan” only garnered 7,100 views in 15 hours.
A former First Lady and Hollywood actor still can’t drum up viewers. Americans are done with anti-American elitists.
The brothers and a former roommate of Laken Riley’s killer, Jose Ibarra, are set to be deported from the United States.
The decision was announced on March 19, 2025, following their guilty pleas to charges related to possessing fraudulent green cards.
Ibarra, a 26-year-old Venezuelan illegal alien, was convicted in November 2024 of murdering Riley while she jogged near the University of Georgia campus earlier in the year. He was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole.
The case drew global attention and resulted in the passage of the Laken Riley Act in January 2025, which expanded deportation powers for illegal aliens who have been accused of crimes.
The Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, announced a major seizure of drugs.
On Thursday morning, Noem announced that the U.S. Coast Guard offloaded more than 45,000 pounds of illegal drugs valued at over $500 million at Port Everglades in Florida.
According to Noem, the crews of U.S. Coast Guard cutters Stone and Mohawk seized the drugs in 14 interdictions in the eastern Pacific Ocean.
Noem said during remarks to reporters, “In the first 100 days of President Trump’s administration, he has already delivered on his campaign promises of making America safe again and to help the American people to be more secure as well.”
Joe Biden emerged from his Delaware basement bunker last week to deliver his first speech since leaving office and virtually no one noticed.
Since leaving office in January, Biden has only popped his head up to give a pre-recorded message for the DNC’s winter meeting.
Biden delivered a speech at the National High School Model United Nations (NHSMUN) last week and not one media outlet covered the event.
The most popular president in US history who garnered 80 million votes in 2020 gave a speech after leaving office and no one cared or even noticed.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has given Sen. John Fetterman a silver-plated pager in acknowledgement of the Pennsylvania Democrat's praise for the Jewish state's Lebanon pager operation.
Fetterman, who has been a vocal supporter of Israel, received the gift Wednesday during a visit with his wife, Gisele, to the prime minister’s office in Jerusalem. Netanyahu’s wife, Sara, was also present.
The pager is symbolic of Israel's September 2024 operation in which it killed dozens of Hezbollah members in Lebanon by hacking and detonating their pagers.
A new report claims that an agency that Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency just shuttered was on a satirical level of corruption, living like wealthy aristocrats off taxpayer funds.
Trump ordered seven federal agencies either to be downsized or to be eliminated altogether last week, and The Daily Wire accuses one, the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS), of being particularly egregious in its unconstitutional and unconscionable waste. Supposedly, FMCS is an “independent agency” that mediates between businesses and unions, with a workforce of 230, of which 60 supposedly worked in a massive D.C. office building (when they showed up to work at all).

A federal judge has indefinitely blocked President Donald Trump’s ban on transgender service members, dealing a major defeat to a controversial policy the president resurrected from his first term.
In a scathing ruling, US District Judge Ana Reyes said the administration cannot enforce the ban — which was set to take effect later this month.

Chuck Schumer Admits He Wakes Up at 3 AM Worried About Elon Musk and 'Oligarchs'
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has sparked a wave of reactions after admitting that he sometimes wakes up in the middle of the night worried about the future of the country, specifically mentioning “oligarchs” and suggesting that Elon Musk is one of his main concerns.
During a conversation addressing his anxieties over the influence of certain powerful figures in the US, Schumer stated:
Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said Tuesday on CNN’s “The Source” that every American should be frightened because President Donald Trump did not “respect our Constitution.”
Sanders said, “Look, you know, the guys who wrote the Constitution back in the 1790s when nobody’s fools, what they wanted to do is have a separation of powers between the executive, the legislative, and the judiciary so that one person could not assume enormous power. And what you are seeing right now is a president who is authoritarian. He just attacked the media the other day. I think he called CNN illegal because I gather that now and then, you criticize him.
In a poor neighbourhood of the Venezuelan city of Maracay, the mother of 24-year-old Francisco José García Casique was waiting for him on Saturday.
It had been 18 months since he had migrated to the US to begin a new life but he had told her that he was now being deported back to Caracas, Venezuela's capital, for being in the US illegally. They had spoken that morning, just before he was due to depart.
"I thought it was a good sign that he was being deported [to Caracas]," Myrelis Casique López recalled. She had missed her son deeply since he left home.
But he never arrived. And while watching a television

My Masculinity, and I Can Beat Up Trump Supporters 21 replies
Somehow, Tim Walz just keeps getting weirder. Since faceplanting as Kamala Harris' running mate, the Minnesota governor has been holding rallies and making the media rounds in a desperate attempt to boost his stock for a 2028 presidential run. How's that going? Not well, Bob. (Video) It's as if Walz was created in a lab by new DNC Vice Chair David Hogg to be the worst politician imaginable. With Harris still out there, presumably about to run for Governor of California, I understand that's a bold statement. She's a hard one to top, and maybe she'll hold onto the crown, but man is Walz an odd fellow who seemingly
Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Prime” that the Republican Party was “at war with the government of the people.”
Raskin said, “The Republicans are in a full-blown attack on Medicaid. They want to cut $880 billion from the Medicaid program. Elon Musk has said Social Security, of course, is the big one. That’s the big target that they’re aiming for, and they are hollowing out all kinds of federal agencies and departments that the American people depend on, like NIH, which does the cutting edge medical research. And it’s now got swept up in their whole anti-science crusade. Same thing with, you know, the FAA.
Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) celebrated Tesla‘s declining stock while speaking to a Wisconsin crowd on Tuesday.
Walz was in the state for a campaign event on behalf of Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Susan Crawford. The event was in Eau Claire, which is Rep. Derrick Van Orden’s (R-WI) district. The winner will determine a liberal or conservative majority in the state’s highest court.
Crawford is running against Brad Schimel, who received campaign donations from PACs funded by Tesla CEO Elon Musk. This connection, which became the main theme of Crawford’s recent campaign ad, prompted Walz to mention the company.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) mocked so-called “greedy” Americans for wanting to keep more of their hard-earned money and wanting less government control over their lives.
During an episode on ABC’s The View on Tuesday, Schumer spoke about the recent government spending bill, which President Donald Trump recently signed. As Breitbart News previously reported, Schumer explained that he voted in favor of keeping the government open because a “Republican Senator told Democrats the plan was to ‘decimate the entire federal government.”
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) took a shot at Senate Minority Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Tuesday for his controversial vote with Republicans last week to avert a government shutdown.
Pelosi, during a press conference in San Francisco, affirmed that she had confidence in Schumer’s ability to lead the Democratic caucus in the Senate going forward, but argued that the Brooklyn Democrat made too many concessions to Republicans when he abruptly announced that he would vote to advance the GOP-crafted government funding bill.
“I myself don’t give away anything for nothing,” Pelosi said. “I think that’s what happened the other day.”
Far-left Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) sparked yet another political uproar after making a disgusting wish concerning the wealthiest man in the world.
As The Daily Beast reported, Crockett spoke Wednesday on a livestream organized by #TeslaTakedown, which has engaged in multiple actions designed to harm the company. These actions include recently protesting outside the vehicle manufacturer’s showrooms, urging Americans to sell their Teslas and dump the company’s stock.
The group is scheduled to hold its biggest day of economic sabotage on March 29.
As aspects of President Donald Trump's agenda are stymied by judges amid legal challenges, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has suggested that Congress could strip federal courts of jurisdiction. "Congress has the authority to strip jurisdiction of the federal courts to decide these cases in the first place. The sabotaging of President Trump’s agenda by ‘resistance’ judges was predictable — why no jurisdiction-stripping bills tee’d up at the onset of this Congress?" DeSantis wrote in a Wednesday post on X.
