My sympathy to his family and friends. What a beautiful place he lived in. DH and I attended the little Baptist Church on Boca Grande for several years and Boca's beach was my go to beach for all those years too.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, says hundreds of illegal aliens “should have been afforded the right” to deny that they are associated with the Tren de Aragua or MS-13 gangs before they were deported from the United States by President Donald Trump’s administration. As Breitbart News reported, Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act to begin deporting hundreds of illegal alien gang members with Tren de Aragua and the MS-13 gangs, both of which are now designated as terrorist organizations.

Ex-Biden White House staffer Michael LaRosa alleged that former President Joe Biden's staffers made "really unethical" demands of the press in an effort to "bully" reporters into covering the president in a favorable manner. LaRosa, who served as former first lady Jill Biden's press secretary, detailed this alleged bullying campaign to "The Young Turks" host Cenk Uygur on Tuesday. "They did bully a lot of journalists, and I think they would tell you that now. They wouldn’t have told you at the time," LaRosa claimed. The former staffer claimed that Biden's communication team was "very hostile and very suspicious" of journalists under the leadership of Anita Dunn, acting as if they

Republican senators are debuting a measure on Thursday to abolish the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), which they say has "intruded into the privacy and personal space" of Americans. Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, is leading the bill alongside Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala. "The TSA has not only intruded into the privacy and personal space of most Americans, it has also repeatedly failed tests to find weapons and explosives. Our bill privatizes security functions at American airports under the eye of an Office of Aviation Security Oversight, bringing this bureaucratic behemoth to a welcome end. American families can travel safely without feeling the hands of an army of federal employees,"

Taxpayers spent at least $4.3 billion over a three-year period covering the same Medicaid patients twice, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday. Medicaid paid health insurance companies for hundreds of thousands of patients who signed up for the program in two or more separate states. This happened when a patient moved to a different state but Medicaid continued paying the insurance company in the state where the resident previously lived. Medicaid is a joint state and federal health insurance program for the poor. Medicaid pays private insurance companies for each person covered. However, a person isn’t supposed to be covered in a state after moving out.

House Republicans are pushing the Trump administration to provide answers about the extent to which the Biden administration broadly paroled immigrants into the United States, asking the Department of Homeland Security to spill details that its former leader refused to divulge. House Homeland Security Chairman Mark Green (R-TN) and subcommittee leaders sent a letter to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem Wednesday, asking the department to turn over previously subpoenaed documents on how broadly it waved non-U.S. citizens into the country. A copy of the letter was obtained first by the Washington Examiner. “Under the Biden-Harris administration, the Department refused to respond to the Committee’s basic requests for information regarding parole programs, even after

House lawmakers voted to undo energy efficiency standards for commercial refrigerators and freezers finalized during the Biden administration. On Thursday, House lawmakers voted 214 to 193 to overturn the Energy Department’s standards for commercial refrigerators, freezers, and refrigerator-freezers and 203 to 182 to undo the standards for walk-in coolers and freezers. Republicans have long criticized Democrats’ efforts to establish new and stringent energy conservation standards for appliances, arguing they raise costs and limit consumer choice. The two resolutions were passed through the Congressional Review Act, which allows lawmakers to bypass the filibuster and take a simple majority vote in both chambers to cancel regulations.

A third German shepherd owned by former President Joe Biden attacked security and landscaping staff while he was vice president, the Secret Service has revealed. “Champ” was so threatening that agents and outdoor staff were warned to stay away from the second family’s yard when the dog was out, and, failing that, they were advised to yell the dog’s name as he charged because he sometimes stopped when called. What’s more, the attacks became so regular that the family would shut off the automatic doggie door of the residence in the U.S. Naval Observatory facility when security was on the spacious grounds. The new reports of attacks were released by Judicial Watch today

The Trump administration will no longer allow illegal migrants to receive Federal Housing Administration (FHA) mortgages, Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner announced Wednesday. “Today, HUD terminated Biden’s taxpayer-backed FHA mortgages for illegal aliens,” Turner wrote on X. “American taxpayers will no longer subsidize open borders by offering home loans to those who enter our nation illegally.” A HUD official informed FHA-approved mortgage lenders on Tuesday that the agency will also no longer consider any “non-permanent resident” eligible for the government-backed, low-income home loans. “Currently, non-permanent residents are subject to immigration laws that can affect their ability to remain legally in the country,” Deputy Assistant Secretary for Housing Jeffrey Little wrote

The White House on Thursday pulled Rep. Elise Stefanik’s nomination to be US ambassador to the United Nations amid concerns over slim margins in the US House of Representatives. President Donald Trump declared he was withdrawing the nomination, which had already languished for months, to help preserve the House GOP’s razor-thin majority – critical, he said, to enacting his agenda. The president also said he didn’t want to “take a chance” on Stefanik’s open seat in northern New York, which heavily favored Republicans. “The people love Elise and, with her, we have nothing to worry about come Election Day. There are others that can do a good job at the United Nations.

A divided federal appeals court panel ruled Wednesday that the Trump administration could not immediately use the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to quickly deport suspected members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. The 2-1 ruling was handed down two days after a contentious hearing before the DC Circuit Court of Appeals, in which the Justice Department tried to lift a 14-day stay imposed by DC US District Judge James Boasberg. During the hearing, Judge Patricia Millett harshly questioned the Trump Justice Department about its handling of the deportations — at one point saying, “Nazis got better treatment under the Alien Enemies Act [during World War II] than has happened here.”

One of the few red states to move forward with the Trump administration’s agenda is Indiana where several measures have been ushered through the state legislature. Numbers USA, which has been working to urge states to pass E-Verify rules and place more limits on welfare and other freebies for illegals, noted that too many red states are dragging their feet on helping Trump ensure his agenda in their states.

As Robert F. Kennedy Jr. settles into his role as President Donald Trump’s health secretary, one major promise he’s made is still on table - banning pharmaceutical ads. Kennedy has been a longtime critic of the promotion of drugs on TV, and others high up in Trump’s cabinet and advisorship have agreed in recent months. Drug advertising on TV The backstory: Up until the mid-1980s, pharmaceutical companies gave information about their products only to doctors and pharmacists. Later that decade, some drug companies began giving the general public more direct access to the information, according to the FDA, leading to the advertising that we see on TV today.

Judge James Boasberg held a hearing on Thursday afternoon in the lawsuit filed against Trump Administration officials for their use of the double-encrypted app Signal. As previously reported, the left-wing watchdog group American Oversight filed a lawsuit against John Ratcliffe, Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard, and others, claiming their use of the Signal app violates the Presidential Records Act. American Oversight boasts about its ‘activist litigation’ targeting Republican interests, especially the Trump Administration. Now they’re suing Trump officials for using Signal to communicate about ‘military actions.’ According to Jeffrey Goldberg, National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio,
