A heretic in the White House

For the Evangelical Christians who have given--and still give--overwhelming support to President Trump while refusing to criticize him for language and behavior they would presumably denounce in a fellow church member, here’s an easy one for you. [Snip] White-Cain is soliciting donations before Easter of $1,000 or more to her “ministry.” In exchange she promises “7 specific supernatural blessings.”...None of this is new for White-Cain and other “prosperity gospel” ministers, but the difference is that she associates, advises and presumably has influence over the president of the United States. [Snip] Their “doctrine” seems to be “let us prey.”
Elon Musk’s days as a senior White House adviser may be coming to an end — along with his government-slashing Department of Government Efficiency.
President Donald Trump hinted Monday that his close ally Musk may have to go back to running his companies full time and that the tumultuous mission of DOGE will have been accomplished after firing tens of thousands of government employees.
“I think he’s amazing but I also think he’s got a big company to run and so at some point he’s going to be going back,” Trump said of the Tesla CEO. “He wants to. I’d keep him as long as I could keep him.”
During the 118th Congress, as House Republicans were investigating the Biden crime family, Congress heard from many of then First Son Hunter Biden's previous associates ,including Devon Archer and Jason Galanis. These two men provided invaluable insight. They also said they were targeted for their willingness to come forward. Now, President Donald Trump has granted clemency to both men. Most recently, Trump granted clemency to Galanis last Friday, commuting his entire sentence. The New York Times reported on the commutation earlier on Monday.
As we covered at the time in February of last year, the House Oversight Committee heard jailhouse testimony from Galanis,
One of the reasons the United States won World War II was because we could outproduce our enemies. As White House Senior Adviser for Trade and Manufacturing Peter Navarro explained in a Fox News Sunday interview, the American “arsenal of democracy” permitted the Allies to triumph.
Navarro said the “military might” of the United States allowed “General George S. Patton” to take “Berlin…with trucks, Jeeps, and tanks that were made in the auto plants of the Midwest.”
Washington – President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday to drive further investment in the United States, as major companies have combined for trillions of dollars in American investments since he took office.
The order creates the “United States Investment Accelerator,” which will be an office within the Department of Commerce, a White House fact sheet notes. The office is “meant to facilitate and accelerate investments above $1 billion in the United States.” The office will cut red tape and expedite permitting as two parts of a six-faceted plan to attract companies:
The Investment Accelerator will encourage companies to make large investments
The Trump administration may pull as much as $8 billion in federal funding from Harvard University as part of its review of higher education.
In a press release on Monday, the Department of Education and the Department of Health and Human Services announced a “comprehensive review of federal contracts and grants at Harvard University and its affiliates” as part of its ongoing efforts of the Joint Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism.
The Task Force will examine over $255.6 million in federal contracts awarded to Harvard University and its affiliated institutions, as well as
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has wasted no time shaking up the military since joining the Trump administration, bringing a no-nonsense, mission-first approach to the Pentagon. In his latest move, Hegseth ordered a 60-day review of military combat arms standards to ensure no exceptions are being made for female troops to enter physically demanding roles within the branches. Hegseth has committed to ensuring combat readiness over political correctness and reinforces the idea that the U.S. military should be held to the same rigorous standards regardless of gender.
Absolutely Wild Details About How Democrats

Covered Up Biden's Decline Reveal a Historic Scandal replies
Just when you think you've heard everything there is to hear about how Democrats covered up Joe Biden's dramatic physical and cognitive decline as president, there's more.
As RedState recently reported, there was a point late in his ill-fated re-election campaign when Biden's handlers had to use fluorescent tape on the floor to keep him from wandering off during a speaking engagement. That was revealed in a new book entitled "Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House," and more excerpts have been released.
One incident involved Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), with Biden seemingly not knowing who the Congressman was.
California officials have envisioned a host of sweeping changes for San Quentin State Prison as they attempt to remake the facility into a Scandinavian-style rehabilitation center complete with a farmer’s market, a podcast production studio and a self-service grocery store. The renovations are expected to cost California taxpayers $239 million, according to state officials. Construction was on track to finish in January 2026, with the first incarcerated people set to begin using the revamped facility within months of completion early next year. The overhaul of what Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office has called California’s “most notorious prison” was set in motion shortly after Newsom was elected in 2018.
At this point, the left isn’t even trying to hide their lawfare. Judge James Boasberg—the Deep State loyalist and rent-a-gavel—has now been handed his fourth Trump-related case.And we’re supposed to believe that this is just a coincidence? No.(snp) Judge Boasberg is no longer pretending to be impartial—he’s the go-to hitman for the Deep State regime, and he’s happily rubber-stamping whatever political prosecution the DC Swamp throws his way.(snip)
Now, former Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt is calling it like it is, and he’s demanding a full investigation into how these cases are being assigned,
“Small minds are concerned with the extraordinary, great minds with ordinary,” philosopher Blaise Pascal wrote. How do we make sense of this striking assertion? It seems to contradict common sense. Aren’t the greatest minds concerned with the greatest events, theories, ideas, and visions, not the insignificant details of daily life?
Pascal’s surprising statement deserves a closer examination, a teasing apart in order to discover the wisdom within.
Great minds understand the importance of the ordinary. After all, much of life consists of the ordinary. (snip), to discard mundane moments as unimportant would be a great mistake and lead us to believe that the bulk of our lives is meaningless.
President Donald Trump will announce his reciprocal tariffs on Wednesday, or “Liberation Day,” in his administration’s first Rose Garden event of his second term.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced Monday that Trump will make his much-anticipated tariff announcement in the Rose Garden.

It will be our first Rose Garden event of this administration,” Leavitt told reporters outside the West Wing.

Finnish President Alexander Stubb made a previously unannounced, unofficial visit to Florida on Saturday, spending about seven hours with US President Donald Trump.
"The presidents met over breakfast, played a round of golf and had lunch together," Stubb's office said in a press release. During the visit, the presidents discussed bilateral relations as well as "current foreign and security policy issues including Ukraine,".

As civilized people, it's sometimes hard for us to fathom the utter barbarity of which other - well, I hesitate to use the term human, so let's say other members of our species - are capable. Some of us have been to other parts of the world where barbarity is commonplace, and we still have a hard time wrapping our civilized minds around it. Case in point: After Israel resumed ground operations in Gaza after Hamas balked at giving back the few remaining hostages, some brave Gazans took to the streets to protest Hamas's continued rule.
Here's what happened to one of them.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt blew up a dishonest journalist attempting to cover for one of the most violent gangs on the planet.
As the Gateway Pundit has previously reported, the Trump Administration made deporting members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Agua a top priority despite a radical left judge’s efforts to stop their efforts even while the aliens are already on a plane out of the country. These low-life gang members have become so prevalent in America that they have taken over entire apartment buildings in major cities.
On Monday, Leavitt took questions from reporters outside the White House about this topic,
It's been a week now since the Signalgate story came out, and the Sunday shows were predictably all over it. On NBC News' "Meet the Press," host Kristen Welker asked Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) from the start for his thoughts on members of the Trump administration having discussions over the Signal app, as part of a conversation where The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg was inadvertently added. As problematic as Welker's line of questioning was, Mullin held his own, earning him praise from President Donald Trump.
Failed vice presidential candidate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) admitted during a recent interview he can sometimes be “a train wreck.”
In an article published by New York Magazine, the Intelligencer told Walz “It doesn’t feel like the party was very bold when you and Harris got on the ticket in the latter half of the 2024 campaign.” Walz said he thinks they are “cautious by nature,” adding that “I said this and I told the vice-president, I said I know my strengths and weaknesses. I said about 90 percent of the time, I can be really good, but about 10 percent of the time, I can be a train wreck
The Trump administration is reviewing $8.7 billion in multi-year grants and $255 million in contracts between Harvard and the federal government because of the vaunted ivy’s failure to address campus antisemitism.
The Departments of Education and Health and Human Services, and the General Services Administration are reviewing the contracts and grants for Harvard and its affiliates as part of the Trump administration’s interagency task force to combat antisemitism. The review will also determine whether Harvard is in compliance with federal civil rights laws barring discrimination.

A coalition of immigration advocates has sued the Trump administration over a policy that requires migrants to self-register with the government.
The Trump administration’s interim rule points to a little-used provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act that requires anyone over the age of 14 who is unlawfully present in the country to register with authorities and alert the government of any change in address.
“This rule is an invitation for widespread abuse. We’re talking about a new reality in the United States, in which anyone perceived to be an immigrant would have to carry their identity documents any time they leave the house and be prepared to show them to

Between May 2024 and February 2025, the museum, despite being free to visit, only received 2,000 external visitors. This makes the cost per external visitor roughly $315 per person.

House members, during their busy legislative session, which is focused on budgets and proposed tax breaks, are also taking time to complain about the food at the chamber's cafeterias and possibly make changes.
"You came to Congress. You’re so excited. I’m in this brand new office. It’s beautiful. I have this amazing staff,” Democratic Texas Rep.

Democratic New York Rep. Joe Morelle expressed similar concerns.
You too can be reimbursed for up to $200, and all you have to do is protest Department of Government Efficiency chief Elon Musk from the comfort of a Tesla dealership. It isn't clear whether the offer from the left-wing Indivisible Project covers the cost of spray paint, keys, or bail, but money is fungible — so wink-wink, nudge-nudge, comrade.
"Indivisible Project can reimburse groups for eligible expenses associated with your Musk or Us actions, up to $200 per group, per congressional recess!" the group's website reads, followed by a link to get the reimbursement form.

President Donald Trump's mandate from the voters undoubtedly gives him wide latitude to close the border to illegal aliens, which he has done. Border crossings are down 90 percent and more illegal aliens were arrested in Trump’s first 50 days than across Joe Biden's final year in office.
Now, many in the America First movement are asking, “What about reducing legal immigration?”
Big Tech moguls Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy accidentally raised awareness of this controversial topic in December by defending—while also calling for reforms to—the H-1B visa program, which allows companies to hire specialist workers from abroad for up to 6 years. “The reason I’m in America along with
A coalition of left-leaning organizations is urging the U.S. Election Assistance Commission to defy President Donald Trump’s executive order on election integrity.
Trump on Tuesday issued the order that, among other things, requires federal voter registration forms require proof of citizenship and would cut federal funding to states that count mail-in ballots arriving after Election Day.
The Election Assistance Commission—an executive branch agency created under the 2002 Help America Vote Act—manages federal voter registration forms and federal election grants to states and localities.
The seven-page letter to the commission was led by the liberal Brennan Center for Justice, a think tank aligned with New York University that has consistently opposed
President Donald Trump on Monday pardoned Thomas Caldwell, a retired Navy intelligence officer who participated in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
Trump previously commuted Caldwell’s sentence on his first day in office when he issued mass clemency for at least 1,583 defendants charged for their actions during the riot.
In early January, Caldwell, a Berryville, Virginia, resident, was acquitted by a jury of seditious conspiracy and two other conspiracy offenses but was sentenced to 53 days in jail and fined $100.
He was also previously found guilty of two felony counts, but one was dropped after the Supreme Court limited a federal obstruction law used against Jan. 6 defendants in June 2024.
Scott Jennings is sticking with CNN.
Thank God.
Like you, most of my exposure to cable news from any station comes through clips on X, and my favorite ones are almost invariable clips of Scott Jennings in the midst of a political debate on CNN.
I have long feared that Fox or another network would try to poach him from CNN because he is a standout talent. He and Harry Enten are the best things going on the failing network, and it's hard to see how CNN can retain a single viewer outside the friends, families, and employees (maybe) of the company and its "talent."

With Tax Day a little more than two weeks away, Jackson-Hewitt Tax Services has been caught handing out flyers in New York City allegedly advising illegal migrants on how to get up to $14,000 in tax refunds from the IRS.
According to independent journalist Savanah Hernandez, the company’s representatives are handing out information outside the Roosevelt Hotel migrant shelter with tax filing tips showing illegal aliens how they can get thousands of dollars from the IRS based on how many children they claim to have.
Hernandez presented a flyer that seems to inform the migrants that they can get a $7,650 refund if they claim one child, $12,635 if they have
U.S. immigration officials are asking the public and federal agencies to comment on a proposal to collect social media handles from people applying for benefits such as green cards or citizenship, to comply with an executive order from President Donald Trump.
The March 5 notice raised alarms from immigration and free speech advocates because it appears to expand the government’s reach in social media surveillance to people already vetted and in the U.S. legally, such as asylum seekers, green card and citizenship applicants -- and not just those applying to enter the country. That said, social media monitoring by immigration officials has been a practice for over a decade
The Trump administration received some good news when the Senate confirmed Dr. Marty Makary as head of the Food and Drug Administration. This is a critical nomination to get through because the FDA will play an integral role in executing the president’s “Make America Healthy Again” agenda.
Without a doubt, we need him at his post now more than ever!
To advance the MAHA agenda, one focus area for the FDA must be to stop the onslaught of unregulated, illicit electronic cigarettes coming in from our most dangerous foreign adversary—China.
The issue was even specifically brought up during Makary’s recent confirmation hearing. Sen. Ashley Moody, R-Fla., posed a critical question
The U.S. military transferred a group of 17 alleged members of Tren de Aragua to El Salvador from Guantanamo Bay on Sunday night, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said.
Rubio said in a statement posted on X that the alleged gang members included murderers and rapists. "These criminals will no longer terrorize our communities and citizens." These removals were done via Title 8, not the Alien Enemies Act, and all the individuals had deportation orders or final orders of removal, meaning the Trump administration did not violate a federal judge’s order halting the deportations.
President Trump made ridding our country of illegal alien gang members a keystone of his successful campaign, and his administration has set right about doing just that. In the latest move, on Monday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that 17 seriously nasty gang members have been transferred from our facility at Guantanamo Bay to El Salvador, to be placed in the gentle and loving care of that nation's Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT).
If you want peace, prepare for war. Germany appears to be embracing this ancient maxim with the country’s top general warning Monday that Berlin is ready to bring back conscription.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a memo Monday ordering men and women to meet the same physical fitness requirements if they want to serve in combat roles, saying the Pentagon had “allowed standards to slip.”

Gun controls, including a semiautomatic firearms ban and ammunition controls, secured final passage in the Colorado legislature Friday and have been sent to Gov. Jared Polis’s (D) desk.
On February 20, 2025, Breitbart News noted that the semiautomatic firearms ban had passed the Colorado Senate. In order to secure Gov. Polis’s support, Senate Democrats added language to the ban which allows gun purchasers to secure an exemption to the prohibition by going through a process similar to concealed carry permit vetting, then taking a “four-hour training course.” Would-be purchasers who do not have hunter safety certification will have to go through a bit more training in order to secure the exemption.

When it comes to Signalgate, Democrats and the mainstream media have talked the issue to death, giving CNN's conservative commentator Scott Jennings plenty of opportunities to discuss the matter.

Democratic Party officials and White House staffers were well aware of President Biden’s frailties ahead of his choice to end his ill-fated reelection bid last summer, according to exclusive excerpts of a new book released to The Hill.

The Trump administration and its Republican allies in Congress say they will fully enforce sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC) and are prepared to expand them in response to recent efforts from top ICC officials to evade the measures.
Earlier this month, Judge Tomoko Akane, the ICC’s president, petitioned the European Union to invoke what is known as the blocking statute, a legal maneuver that shields EU members from sanctions issued by third-party countries such as the United States. Akane told the EU’s parliament "it is obvious the court cannot survive alone," warning them that "the time to act is now" by invoking the blocking statute, which would allow

In a ritzy enclave of South Florida, Chinese migrants are coming ashore via boat, leading to an investigation into human smuggling networks. Coral Gables is a picturesque city located in Miami-Dade County, Florida, known for its Mediterranean Revival architecture, tree-lined streets and lush landscapes. One Coral Gables neighborhood, Gables Estates, is ranked as the most expensive housing market in the country, according to data by Zillow.
But in recent months, the dazzling city has seen an uptick of Chinese migrant interceptions.
The city's uptick is representative of the Sunshine State's influx of Chinese nationals since 2020, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data.
Universities thrown into turmoil by Trump administration funding cuts are now facing a new and possibly larger threat in the form of tax hikes from the Republican congressional majorities.
Republicans are weighing a major increase in the tax on big university endowments, as well as a raft of other measures to raise revenues from higher education.
The GOP is motivated to raise taxes on universities because it needs to find revenues to offset the major tax cuts it aims to enact in a sweeping fiscal overhaul. However, higher education is also a prime target because Republicans view it as overrun by left-wing radicalism.
U.S. taxpayers have shelled out tens of thousands of dollars in recent years to the U.S. Department of Agriculture for research on LGBT issues, the kind of funding now under scrutiny by the Trump administration.
The research relies on conducting interviews – in one case for $373 per Zoom call – to explore a researcher's hypothesis of widespread discrimination.
For instance, one taxpayer-funded research grant studied “queer farmers quality of life in Pennsylvania,” federal records show, one of several grants of its kind.
The Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Projects – a federally funded research arm of the U.S. Department of Agriculture – paid $14,997 for the 2018 grant.
The vast majority of British Muslims identify with their religion over their nationality, a report has found.
A study conducted by the Institute for the Impact of Faith in Life (IIFL), based on survey data and interviews with 815 British Muslims, has found that over seven in ten (71 per cent) identify as Muslims first.
In contrast, just 27 per cent of British Muslims said they primarily identified as British, English, or Scottish.
The report found that younger people were far more likely to identify as Muslims first at 85 per cent, compared to older Muslims, a majority of whom (57 per cent) identified as being British first.
All eyes are on the Wisconsin Supreme Court election, where liberals currently hold a 4-3 majority. On Tuesday, voters will choose between a conservative judge, Brad Schimel, and a liberal judge, Susan Crawford, to fill a vacancy and possibly flip the court to conservative control.
What difference does it make? A lot — and not just in Wisconsin.
If liberals retain control, it is likely that the court will unwind the public sector union reforms enacted when Scott Walker was governor, something high on labor unions’ wish list for the past decade. Issues such as abortion are also on the agenda.
A Paris court ruled Monday that National Rally leader Marine Le Pen will be ineligible to run for public office for five years, likely including in the upcoming presidential race, after being found guilty of embezzlement of European Union funds.
A “political death sentence” has been handed out to three-time presidential candidate and current frontrunner in the race to replace President Emmanuel Macron in 2027, Marine Le Pen.
The Paris court found that Le Pen, along with eight other National Rally Members of the European Parliament, had embezzled 2.9 million euros in funds intended for parliamentary assistants for the party in Strasbourg on political operations in France.
Did the last five years, call it “the age of woke,” really happen — or were they just a fever dream?
Apparently we all imagined a time where COVID and cancel culture collided to oppress us.
No one was shunned for saying really obvious and true things, schools weren’t closed indefinitely under pressure from teachers’ unions, and race conflict wasn’t pushed on Americans from every direction. At least that’s what the left would have us believe.
On Wednesday when National Public Radio CEO Katherine Maher testified in a congressional hearing, she stumbled on some basic questions . . . involving her own opinions. “Do you believe that America is addicted to white supremacy?”
Elon Musk, head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), indicated he will be turning his crew's attention to members of Congress who have amassed fortunes despite having base salaries under $200,000.
The tech mogul and philanthropist made the comments during a rally in Wisconsin for state Supreme Court candidate Judge Brad Schimel.
"A lot of strangely wealthy members of Congress - where I just can't - I'm trying to connect the dots of how did they become rich," he told those in attendance.
"How'd they get $20 million if they're earning $200,000 a year? Nobody can explain that,"
Rep. Nikema Williams (D-Ga.), the chair of state Democratic Party in Georgia, announced to state committee members on Monday that she would be stepping down from her role following a party rules change to leadership and amid concerns over her ability to steer the party.
Williams, who took the helm of the state party in 2019, noted that state committee members had approved a change to the state party rules over the weekend, now requiring the Democratic Party of Georgia to have a paid full-time chair in an email to the party obtained by The Hill.
U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced Sunday a plan to upgrade the U.S. military command in Japan, a country he described as indispensable in combating Chinese aggression.
"We share a warrior ethos that defines our forces," Hegseth told Japanese Defense Minister Gen Nakatani in Tokyo, adding that Japan is "our indispensable partner" in "deterring communist Chinese military aggression," including across the Taiwan Strait.
Hegseth said Japan is a "cornerstone of peace and security in the Indo-Pacific" and that the Trump administration would continue to work closely with the Asian country.
A U.S. Army armored vehicle missing in Lithuania for six days with four American soldiers on board was pulled from a bog early Monday close to the border with Belarus, according to Lithuanian authorities. There was no immediate word about the fate of the missing military personnel.
Defense Minister Dovile Sakaliene in a social media post said Lithuanian Military Police and U.S. investigators were working at the scene after the 70-ton vehicle was winched free from beneath 15 feet of watery clay-like mud at a training ground near Pabrade, 30 miles northeast of Vilnius, at 4:30 a.m. local time.
U.S. President Donald Trump is planning to visit Saudi Arabia in mid-May on his first foreign trip of his second term, Axios reported on Sunday, citing two U.S. officials and a source with knowledge of the president's travel.
Saudi Arabia has been taking a more prominent role in U.S. foreign policy. The country has hosted talks between the U.S. and Russia and Ukraine as Trump seeks a ceasefire to the war and the White House has singled out the country as a possible participant in the Abraham Accords.
Trump said earlier this month he would likely make his first trip abroad to Saudi Arabia to seal an agreement for Riyadh to invest

President Trump said he only invited longtime critic Bill Maher to the White House as a favor to good buddy Kid Rock.
“I got a call from a very good guy, and friend of mine, Kid Rock, asking me whether or not it would be possible for me to meet, in the White House, with Bill Maher, a man who has been unjustifiably critical of anything, or anyone, TRUMP,” Trump wrote in a lengthy Truth Social post Sunday night.

You don’t even need to read it, folks. Hillary Rodham Clinton, a two-time presidential loser, had some thoughts on the Signal story. To recap, National Security Adviser Michael Waltz discussed anti-Houthi operations on Signal, an encrypted, government-approved messenger app, which accidentally added The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg who exaggerated its contents, alleging classified war plans were discussed. That’s a lie. Goldberg is a known anti-Trump fabulist. Was it an unforced error? Sure, and the consequences were days of annoying distractions and hysterics from the liberal media.
The Trump administration is cracking down on radical, anti-American foreigners by revoking their visas. The left claims such efforts are a violation of free speech rights. But no foreigner has the “right” to be in America, let alone come here and espouse radical anti-American and anti-West values.
The lavish Atlanta home where Sen. Raphael Warnock (D., Ga.) resides brims with luxury details: Marketed as a "one of one custom home that effortlessly merges history & luxury," the five-bedroom home, built in 2022, went on the market for over a million dollars later that year and sold quickly—not to Warnock, but to Ebenezer Baptist Church, where he still serves as part-time senior pastor when he's not representing the state of Georgia in Congress.
The DeKalb County home came equipped with a plethora of luxury accommodations, including a 100-bottle wine fridge, a Bluetooth-enabled stainless steel cooking range, custom crown molding, and a walk-in closet affixed to a "stunning" European bathroom
The mega law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP has made peace with President Trump before it was targeted by an executive order.
“Over the past few days, we learned that the Trump Administration intended to issue an executive order directed at Skadden,” London wrote. “We believed it would focus on DEI initiatives and our pro bono activities.”
“With that in mind, we chose to engage proactively and constructively with the Administration to align on a productive path forward without the issuance of an executive order,” he wrote. “We entered into the agreement the President announced today because, when faced
White House adviser and Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) head Elon Musk has claimed roughly 2.1 million “non-citizens” received social security numbers in 2024.
Speaking at a conference alongside his longtime friend Antonio Gracias, CEO of Valor Equity Partners, Musk said DOGE uncovered some eye-opening numbers regarding social security in 2024.
“We started at the top of the system. Mapping the whole system of social security to understand where all the fraud was. There’s a lot of great people there that showed us a lot of waste, so that came with a big list of stuff. But this is what jumped out at us,”

When did high school newspaper editors take over Western media? Decades ago, of course, and we’re unhappy to report that it seems they’re never going to grow up. The latest evidence? The early peak bloom of the cherry blossom trees along Washington’s Tidal Basin is being blamed on global warming.
The press has latched onto the man-made global warming narrative and it won’t let go.
The Washington Post couldn’t wait to inform its tell-us-what-to-believe readership that this year’s “peak occurred several days earlier than the long-term average, as human-caused climate warming hastens the onset of spring flowering.”
French far-right figurehead Marine Le Pen has been banned from running for political office for five years after being found guilty of embezzling European Union funds, in a politically explosive ruling that has shattered her hopes of winning the presidency in 2027.
A Paris court also handed Le Pen, who was the frontrunner for the next election, a four-year prison sentence with two years suspended, to be served under house arrest, and a €100,000 ($108,000) fine.
Anyone with common sense can tell when there’s a setup for a big problem, and the Supreme Court keeps setting things up. (Snip)
And then there was my perplexity in 2005 when I found myself wondering why G.W. Bush had appointed Roberts, the “new guy,” directly into being Chief Justice of our Supreme Court rather than elevating a more experienced judge to that position. At the time, he seemed like a lightweight compared to Scalia, Thomas, and Alito. I thought he should be learning from them rather than being the chief.
We have a Chief Justice who belongs to the same secretive “club” as patently evil Judge Boasberg, chief judge
Washington — In an explosive, sweeping interview, former senior State Department investigator David Asher—closely connected to the Trump administration’s financial and national security apparatus—warned that Canadian banks could soon face a “new universe” of regulatory scrutiny, including from the U.S. Treasury, due to the recent designation of Mexican cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.
Asher, who contends that the “command” for Western Hemisphere money laundering of synthetic narcotics—including fentanyl, methamphetamine, and ecstasy sourced from Chinese precursors—is “largely run by Chinese triads in Canada,” also argues that this interconnected transnational network presents profound risks to Canadian financial institutions.
Elon Musk masterfully called out a likely paid leftist operative on Sunday night while speaking at a Supreme Court election rally in Wisconsin, saying, “It was inevitable that at least a few Soros operatives would be in the audience.”
Musk appeared at a get-out-the-vote rally in Green Bay before Tuesday’s crucial Supreme Court race that could change the direction of the country if the Democrats get their way and redistrict the state.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Democrat House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) discussed the importance of Wisconsin’s Supreme Court election with DNC Chair Ken Martin, highlighting their ambition to gerrymander and give the Democrats additional House Seats.
President Donald J. Trump is taking a chainsaw to the Department of Justice. The unsavory elements are being cut away, and, again, this shouldn’t be a shock to anyone paying attention to the 2024 campaign. The cancerous elements that infected this institution under Joe Biden, which were weaponized to go after Trump, pro-life activists, and the January 6 defendants, will be excised. Two prosecutors were fired, with at least 50 US attorneys and their associates also being given pink slips. The latter isn’t new either—it’s customary for a new administration to pick new US attorneys. Let’s call it the Clinton protocol (via NYT):
We’ve seen the escalation of political violence lately from those opposed to President Donald Trump’s policies, with Tesla dealerships being vandalized, drivers of the brand assaulted, and then the New Mexico GOP headquarters lit on fire by anarchist arsonists on Sunday. So when Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem came across a TikTok video of a user called “belal_donq” endorsing the shooting of ICE agents, she was far from amused and vowed that such threatening rhetoric would not be tolerated.

Democrats and their corporate media allies have co-opted the popular narrative on various social issues, including sexism. Republicans provide little, if any, pushback for fear of what the low-rated Sunday talk shows or the Washington Post might say about them.
The social issue du jour is transgenderism. Democrats are the party of transgenderism, which represents only a small fraction of the population. However, if you watched prime-time comedy or drama television shows, you might believe that half of America is gender-confused.
Ironically, the Democrat party platform claims to support women. “We are committed to ensuring full equality for women. We will combat biases across economic, political, and social life that
Most Americans know very little about Elon Musk’s team of brainiacs at the Department of Government Efficiency, and may have misconceptions about who they are.
However, Bret Baier’s interview with Musk and seven of his lieutenants at DOGE last week shed a welcome light on these unfamiliar names.
For starters, they look nothing like the image that has taken hold in the public imagination, driven by a story in Wired about a group of pimply teenage nerds with online nicknames like “Big Balls” running riot through government systems.

Elon Musk handed out $1 million checks to two Wisconsin voters he deemed spokespeople for his cause after the court refused to hear a lawsuit from the state’s attorney general over the cash giveaways ahead of a consequential Supreme Court election in the battleground state.
The coveted checks went to two Wisconsin residents who have both voted for and donated to GOP campaigns and have a lengthy history of supporting President Trump. Musk said that only “spokesmen” for an online petition against “activist” judges would be eligible for the million-dollar handouts.

On Sunday night, tech mogul, Trump ally, and head of the Department of Government Efficiency Elon Musk held a rally for state Supreme Court candidate Judge Brad Schimel and handed out $1 million checks to two people at that event who agreed to be spokespeople for the campaign. This was after Attorney General Josh Kaul went to court to try and stop the payments but was rebuffed, first by a lower judge and then just before the event by none other than the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
Musk came bounding out in a "cheesehead hat" to the tune of Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Freebird."
Losing USAID likely means the CIA will hit back hard on the subject of Ukraine as retaliation. USAID was the front group for CIA interventionist operations globally.

United Auto Workers president Shawn Fain said Sunday that President Trump’s looming 25% tariff on foreign-made cars could swiftly boost American manufacturing jobs.
Fain, a prominent anti-Trump campaigner ahead of last year’s election, said that the levies could benefit workers and used remarkably similar language as the White House on how carmakers could onshore jobs.
“We have excess capacity” at manufacturing plants, Fain said, using near identical framing as the White House. “They could bring work back in very short order.”
“Tariffs are a tool in the toolbox to get these companies to do the right thing, and the intent behind it is to bring jobs back here, and, you know,
Mayoral hopeful Brad Lander urged the former Biden administration to yank up to $4 billion in US funding to Israel if certain conditions weren’t met — peddling the threat seven months before the Oct. 7 massacre.
Lander said that if the Jewish state failed to honor human rights or kept building settlements in Palestinian territories, the Democratic White House should pull the aid. “Biden and [Secretary of State Antony] Blinken need to recognize that times have changed. The Democratic Party cannot continue toeing the AIPAC [American Israel Public Affairs Committee] line,” said Lander, the city comptroller, in a column he penned for the Israeli publication Haaretz on March 2, 2023.
A bombshell report from a clean energy group admitted that shifting to solar and wind may mean chaos for New York’s power grid as the state’s green energy law creates hurdles for cost and reliability.
The report from the New York Affordable Clean Power Alliance, which represents solar and wind energy firms, noted that the state’s timetable to phase out energy generated by fossil fuel is unrealistic — and even dangerous.
“The New York City area is forecasted to experience a generation shortfall starting in 2033, driven by an increase in peak demand and the planned retirement of existing dispatchable generation,” the report said.
Where's The Audio, Kirsten?

This is one of the examples of narrative engineering that is simply infuriating. NBC has driven dozens of articles, pundit claims and discussion segments from their “transcription” of a recorded phone interview with President Trump. However, no actual audio of the interview is presented.
President Trump weaves through interviews in his answers, providing context, tone, inflection and detail for each point of a conversation he is answering. It is the context that surrounds the “quote” that becomes important when understanding what the president says.
While it is certainly good news that Congress is finally waking up to the dangers posed by the “Censorship Industrial Complex,” last week’s hearing of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution didn’t sufficiently address one of its most insidious aspects. Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-Mo.), the Subcommittee Chair, did a good job of outlining the threat it presents news outlets that refuse to parrot corporate media propaganda. Unfortunately, neither Sen. Schmitt nor his articulate witnesses devoted anything like enough attention to the capture of our public education system by the censorship regime promoted by the nation’s two largest teachers unions.
A newly surfaced video from a Washtenaw County (Michigan) Democratic Party gathering has pulled back the curtain on the left’s latest efforts to obstruct President Donald Trump. The event, titled “Democratic Responses to Trump’s Attacks & Lessons Learned from 2024 MI House Races,” was a rallying cry for progressive activists and Democratic organizers looking for a strategy to fight Trump’s policies and influence.
The video captures Democratic Rep. Debbie Dingell and others openly discussing ways to counter Trump’s agenda. Their focus wasn’t limited to winning elections—they were plotting ways to undermine Trump at every opportunity. The discussion made it clear that they view Trump as an existential threat
President Donald Trump revealed that a tree planted by former President Andrew Jackson “many years ago” would be removed, noting that the tree is in “terrible condition.”

The progressive movement has led the Democrat party into a political black hole. And just as happens in nature, it’s not clear that it can find its way out.
The contemporary progressive movement arguably began with the cultural revolution of the 1960s. The initial reforms inspired salutary policy initiatives, including the end of Jim Crow laws, the institution of Medicare, and the opening of career opportunities for women.
Unfortunately, the insatiable discontent with any existing social structure, which fuels the progressive left, has led to chaotic outcomes of initially worthy policies. For example:

Elon Musk gives out $1 million payments to Wisconsin voters after state supreme court refused legal challenge

Protests unfolded outside of Tesla showrooms across the country this weekend over Elon Musk's role helping lead President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency, sparking questions to fly as to who is funding the purported "grassroots" demonstrations.
"Who is funding and organizing all these paid protests?" Musk posted to X early Sunday morning, accompanied by a video clip of podcast host Joe Rogan discussing left-wing protests in recent days.
A "Tesla Takedown" movement formed in recent days, with more than 200 protests planned on Saturday in the U.S., and another few hundred planned protests in Canada and Europe as part of the "global day of action."
