We were posted at the front of a large public high school auditorium in the Land of the Free in 2015. Both of us were responsible for maintaining some semblance of order as 150 to 200 students socialized, did homework, and ate lunch. I can’t tell you what my partner saw, but I saw girls sitting on their boyfriends’ laps. I noticed a student climbing over chairs to get from A to B. Some students were throwing things. We discouraged all this, of course, but the scene reminded me of Wild West cattle drives I’d seen on TV.
In a head-scratching move, FBI Director Kash Patel has reportedly appointed Steven Jensen to lead the coveted FBI Washington Field Office. According to the New York Times, Jensen “played a key role in responding to the attack on the Capitol” on January 6th.
Jensen was then tasked as the Section Chief of the Domestic Terrorism Operations Section, according to former FBI Agent Kyle Seraphin. Seraphin, a whistleblower and member of a group of persecuted federal agent whistleblowers known as “The Suspendables,” said that the Domestic Terrorism group was “fixated” on Jan. 6.
Donald Trump triumphantly celebrated a recent drone strike against Iran-backed Houthi terrorists in Western Yemen.
The president posted video of the hit by U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) to his Truth Social page and delighted in the victory.
He wrote: 'These Houthis gathered for instructions on an attack. Oops, there will be no attack by these Houthis! They will never sink our ships again!'
The video, shot from the sky, shows a group of Houthis - one of several groups backed by the Islamic Republic of Iran - lining up before a gigantic explosion blows them away.
Only two trucks can be seen as the smoke from the blast clears, presumably killing everyone down below.
Trump officials state that operational control of the U.S.-Mexico border is becoming a reality. The statement follows another month of declining apprehensions of illegal border crossers entering the U.S. from Mexico. The apprehensions fell by more than 1,1oo from February’s historic low.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials reported that border encounters along the U.S.-Mexico border fell from 8,327 in February to 7,180 in March. This represents a decrease of nearly 13 percent from the previous month’s record-setting low.
“The month of March recorded the lowest southwest border crossings in history, marking a pivotal achievement in our nation’s border security efforts,” CBP officials reported this week.

For this week's Feel-Good Friday, we're back in the Carolinas and the survivors of Hurricane Helene. But instead of discussing the rebuilding of structures, the focus will be on the rebuilding hearts and souls. One mother and her two daughters recognized this and came up with an ingenious way to help the girls of Western North Carolina and Appalachia find joy and renewal through the gift of a doll: As any parent knows, you can never underestimate the comfort a child finds in their favorite toy. So much was lost during Helene, that it was easy to forget how important a simple toy can be.
Two-time U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau praised President Donald Trump as a “great ambassador for the game” of golf as talks between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf continue.
Appearing on Fox & Friends, DeChambeau said that Trump loves the game,” Fox News reported. “He loves golf, by the way. I think he’s such a great ambassador for the game of golf and for diplomacy, in general,” DeChambeau lauded. “It’s been fun to play some golf with him, get to know him a little bit better, and just recognize that he’s just a normal person.”
Much like every other major story, the dying news media have managed to take a really interesting topic and thoroughly dumb it down to a limited set of monotonous slogans. [Snip] Me no like tariff! Tariff bad! [Snip] Ultimately, producers might decide it’s better to simply make their stuff in America in order to skirt the tariffs, which allows them to sell more of it in the world’s richest market (America). Or, other nations might remove trade barriers and allow more goods from the U.S. to be sold inside their borders if it means we eliminate or at least decrease the new tariffs. Ideally, both happen and everyone benefits.
Since the horrific attacks of October 7, 2023, Hamas and its sympathizers at the United Nations and college campuses have lied to the world.
They have denied the truth that Hamas raped its prisoners, invented atrocities by Israeli forces, and denied Israel has the right to exist.
They also made up how many Gazans died.
We know this because Hamas admits it.
The murderous terror organization’s Ministry of Health has quietly reduced the number of civilian deaths that it has claimed were inflicted by Israeli forces.
In its March 2025 fatality list, 3,400 “victims” simply vanish. Previously listed as people who perished last August and October, it turns out Hamas invented them.
The now-famous female fencer who refused to compete against a man says that USA Fencing has become infested with pro-trans activism.
As an example of the league’s radicalism, fencer Stephanie Turner pointed to Damien Lehfeldt, a top USA Fencing Board of Directors official who’s ridiculously pro-trans and also allegedly a pervert (evidence below). [Tweet]
The guy is so pro-trans, according to the Daily Mail, that he wrote fake “anti-trans” emails to himself and then published his flamboyant responses to social media.
In one fake email, a fictional woman named “Dorothy” complained to him that “girls” were abandoning fencing as a sport

Fox Business Network financial journalist Charles Payne blasted the anti-Trump media for its biased coverage of tariffs, detailing the shortcomings of the current system that he insisted is “unsustainable.”
The host of Fox’s “Making Money with Charles Payne” reminded all that President Donald J. Trump is currently doing what he told voters he would do.
“President Trump ran on tariffs. What we just saw was a president who did what he said he was going to do,” Payne explained. “Every single day the media said Trump is running on tariffs, and people say we know that. Trump is running on bringing back manufacturing.

Well, Attorney General Pam Bondi isn’t going to discuss further the details regarding the deportation flights of Tren de Aragua members, a Venezuelan gang that the Trump administration has designated a foreign terror group.

DOGE executive Antonio Gracias, the founder of Valor Equity Partners, joined the All In podcast on X.
During their discussion, Antonio revealed shocking information on how illegal aliens and even violent illegal aliens are accessing government benefits and even voting.
Antonio Gracias: We mapped it through to the benefit programs. We found in the benefit programs that every benefit program that was being accessed by these people, 1. 3 million of them are on Medicaid right now, today. And by the way, it’s just ramping. It’s just starting. Just to give you a point. And then out of curiosity, I woke up at 2: 00
A full 4½ years after The Post’s bombshell series on Hunter Biden’s influence-peddling schemes, The New York Times has deigned to take an interest in the former First Son’s corruption.
On Friday, the Times reported that in 2016 (nine years ago!), Hunter used his connections at the Obama State Department (and his sway as the son of the then-vice president) to try to set up a meeting with an Italian official “to resolve regulatory hurdles to geothermal energy projects” that his then-employer Burisma “was pursuing in the Tuscany region.”
As the headline says, you will note that whenever a political figure or a leftist claims that "paying taxes is patriotic," you will note that they are about to tell you that you should pay more. This is a fundamental law of the universe, to be known henceforth as Clark's Law of Taxational Patriotism: "When taxation is levied, the claim that paying taxes is an act of patriotism shall invariably be followed by a demand for a higher taxes."
The ATF and FBI have been monitoring gun purchases made by California residents to bust them for violating the state’s assault weapons ban.
Gun Owners of America (GOA) recently revealed that the ATF and FBI have been using the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) to surveil lawful gun owners to help the Golden State enforce their gun control laws.
In a recent “Minute Man Moment” episode, GOA’s Ben Sanderson broke down the operation, noting that the FBI, initially tasked with targeting violent gangs and cartels, has instead been “using unconstitutional investigations, not to enforce federal, but state gun control laws.”
Sanderson explained that federal and state law enforcement
The U.S. Supreme Court delivered some good news for the Trump administration on Friday afternoon. In a 5-4 move, the Court ruled that the administration can block teacher development grants over concerns about prioritizing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). As he's done before, Chief Justice John Roberts sided with the liberals. With such a ruling, the Court has granted an emergency request to stay a Massachusetts court order that would have required the administration to reinstate the grants.
A group of Democrats on the House Homeland Security Committee is visiting the southern border Friday, a visit that “comes years too late,” according to Rep. Mark Green, the Republican chairman of the committee.
“It’s no coincidence that committee Democrats are choosing to visit the border after President [Donald] Trump cleaned up the mess created by the Biden administration,” said Green, R-Tenn.
The Democrat delegation is visiting the San Diego Border Sector to “conduct oversight” of the Trump administration’s handling of the situation at the southern border, according to Fox News. But the visit is closed to press.
Iran is beating a retreat from Yemen, where it has backed the Houthi rebels, who in turn have launched missiles and drones against Israel, and have also attacked international shipping in the Red Sea, as well as western naval vessels.
The reason: U.S. President Donald Trump has launched a relentless assault on the Houthis while also restoring a “maximum pressure” campaign of sanctions that makes it impossible for Iran to sustain its overseas terror proxies.
The UK Telegraph reported on Thursday:
Iran has ordered military personnel to leave Yemen, abandoning its Houthi allies as the US escalates an air strike campaign against the rebel group.
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced Friday it will not be finalizing a rule proposed by the Biden administration that would have allowed Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries access to anti-obesity drugs such as the highly in-demand GLP-1 medications.
In November last year, the Biden administration proposed a new rule that would allow drugs like Wegovy and Zepbound to be covered by Medicare and Medicaid, expanding access for roughly 3.4 million Medicare users and about 4 million Medicaid enrollees.
In today’s edition of Hollywood Hates You More Than It Loves Money, Meryl Streep is in talks to play Aslan in Netflix’s upcoming Narnia movie.
Christian author C.S. Lewis made no secret of the fact that Aslan, the talking lion in his timeless Narnia series, was meant to be an allegory, a stand-in, for Jesus.
Netflix being Netflix, I expected Aslan the Lion to become Aslan the Black Panther. Sadly, my failure of imagination once again underestimated just how much Netflix and Hollywood hate and seek to alienate Christians, especially when they can do it with our own stories.
A major part of a first-of-its-kind green energy project, which the Biden administration bragged about, is now lying in ruins and polluting some of America’s beautiful ocean and seashore in Nantucket, Massachusetts.
Exclusive images obtained by Fox News Digital show the shattered remains of what is left of an ocean wind turbine constructed by Vineyard Wind in a green energy project touted by the Biden administration.
The turbine was recently struck by lightning and destroyed just months after one of its blades dangerously fell
Leonel Moreno, the now-deported Venezuelan illegal migrant “TikTok influencer” who taught other illegal migrants how to break into American homes on social media, will be prosecuted for “hate crimes” and child exploitation, Venezuelan Attorney General Tarek William Saab announced Thursday.
The Venezuelan Public Ministry made the announcement on its official Instagram account. In the statement, Saab said Moreno published “criminal content inciting hatred against Venezuelan citizens” through social media.
“Saab pointed out that he also uses his underage daughter, thus defiling his own family in order to profit illicitly,” the statement read.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on Friday announced it would redirect $895 million from a woke infrastructure program to aid disaster relief, Breitbart News has learned exclusively. “The BRIC program was yet another example of a wasteful and ineffective FEMA program. It was more concerned with political agendas than helping Americans effected by natural disasters. The BRIC program was created as part of the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, otherwise known as the so-called infrastructure bill, which is known to have many leftist carveouts.
The head of New York City public schools was forced to apologize for linking a “Stop Gaza Genocide Toolkit” in a newsletter this month — sparking outrage in the Jewish community.
The Office of Student Pathways Newsletter, which is blasted out monthly to select teachers and parents across the nation’s largest public school system, included a bullet point titled “Guidelines for teaching about genocide” — which linked to a Google doc titled “STOP GAZA GENOCIDE TOOLKIT.”

The US Supreme Court in a 5-4 vote on Friday sided with the Trump Administration and blocked a Massachusetts judge’s order requiring it to reinstate $250 million in Department of Education DEI training to eight states.
In an unsigned order, Chief Justice Roberts sided with the liberal justices and would have denied Trump’s emergency application.
Liberal justices Kagan, Jackson and Sotomayor dissented.
House Democrats from all over the country are abandoning their swing seats to run for statewide office, creating a nightmare scenario for embattled Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries’ (D-NY) bid to claim the House from Republicans.
Rep. Chris Pappas (D-NH) announced Thursday he would opt for a Senate run over reelection, the latest hit for Jeffries.Freshman Rep. Maggie Goodlander (D-NH) is considering a run in the Granite State as well. Her announcement would mean Democrats must replace both of their incumbent House members in the two-congressional district state, drawing limited resources from other competitive races across the country.
In just two weeks, U.S. Immigration and Customs (ICE) Enforcement and Removal Operations officers based in Houston deported 174 criminal aliens. According to the agency, the group of aliens included 24 gang members.
All of the arrested criminal aliens were deported to Mexico and, as a group, accounted for 610 criminal convictions for offenses committed in the United States. The group was no strangers to run-ins with immigration authorities as collectively, they had 415 prior removals from the United States.
The staggering statistics of crimes and prior removals the group shares may indicate they may soon attempt to return to the United States if history repeats itself.
Acting US Attorney for DC Ed Martin, is expanding his inquiry into former US Attorney Matthew Graves’ prosecutions of more than 1,500 January 6 protestors.
Ed Martin is specifically probing Graves’ abuse of the 1512(c)(2) obstruction charge.
Biden’s corrupt DOJ charged more than 300 J6ers with 18 USC §1512(c)(2). Additionally, two of the four charges against Trump in Jack Smith’s DC case were conspiracy to obstruct.
Then-US Attorney for DC, Matthew Graves, arrested and charged thousands of non-violent J6ers who didn’t even enter the Capitol building. He also threatened to seek more prison time for J6 defendants if the Supreme Court reversed the obstruction count.

REAL threats to water, air replies
For too long, politicians and bureaucrats have been fleecing the public purse under the guise of “environmental justice” — a favorite leftist buzzword.
Instead of directly fixing actual environmental problems with our precious taxpayer dollars, the Biden Environmental Protection Agency lit them on fire to fund cronies and activist groups.
Under the Trump administration, that’s coming to an end — and as EPA administrator, I’ve gone on the road to help put the president’s promises into practice.
Many American communities are suffering with serious unresolved environmental issues, but under the “environmental justice” banner, the previous administration’s EPA showered billions on ideological allies, instead of directing those resources
The Chinese Communist Party has done what no foreign adversary should ever be able to do in the United States. It has managed to infiltrate our media, our institutions, our businesses, and even our government without facing any real consequences.[Snip] Even more disturbing is the political influence the CCP has managed to establish within our borders. China has worked tirelessly to cultivate relationships with U.S. politicians, funding lobbying efforts, business partnerships, and even election campaigns. We now have mayors, governors, and members of Congress who refuse to challenge China’s growing grip because they fear losing funding or because they are directly compromised.
US District Judge of the District Court for the District of Rhode Island, John McConnell, an Obama appointee, accused President Trump of violating his court order blocking his federal funding freeze.
In January Judge McConnell temporarily blocked Trump’s freeze on federal funding in response to a request from 22 Democrat state attorneys general and DC.
Trump’s Office of Management and Budget (OMB) previously put a temporary pause of agency grant, loan and other financial assistance programs.
“The American people elected Donald J. Trump to be President of the United States and gave him a mandate to increase the impact of every federal taxpayer dollar.
A coalition of Democratic-led states and immigrant rights groups is urging the Supreme Court to preserve birthright citizenship and uphold a nationwide block on a Trump administration order denying citizenship to the U.S.-born children of undocumented immigrants and temporary visitors.
In a series of response filings Friday, respondents from 24 states asked the justices to reject President Donald Trump’s emergency request to narrow multiple lower court injunctions that have frozen his January order. They argued that maintaining the long-standing legal status quo is not an abuse of judicial power.
What was hailed by Democrats as a narrow 734-vote victory for Allison Riggs in the 2024 North Carolina Supreme Court race is now spiraling into electoral chaos, as a court ruling has cast doubt over tens of thousands of ballots that could flip the outcome in favor of conservative challenger Judge Jefferson Griffin.
In a stunning decision filed Thursday, 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 North Carolina Court of Appeals has ordered 60,000 voters who submitted ballots without key identification information to prove their eligibility or have their votes tossed in the still-undecided 2024 state Supreme Court race.
The 2-1 Friday decision was the first legal victory for conservative Jefferson Griffin in his bid to unseat incumbent liberal justice Allison Riggs on the Tar Heel State’s high court. Recounts showed Riggs leading Griffin by 734 votes before Griffin challenged the eligibility of roughly 60,000 ballots, halting the race’s certification.
The Department of the Interior announced Friday that it will hold an offshore oil and gas lease sale in the Gulf of America as part of its efforts to boost production and drive consumer prices down.
The agency said it expects to publish a notice of sale in June, which will formally initiate the lease sale process. Undiscovered fields in the Gulf of America contain an estimated 29.59 billion barrels of oil and 54.84 trillion cubic feet of natural gas—resources that could be a boon to the American economy and help curb prices, according to the Interior Department.
A divided Supreme Court sided with the Trump administration by allowing officials to block $65 million in teacher development grants frozen over concerns they were promoting diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) practices.
The 5-4 emergency ruling, for now, lifts a lower order that forced the Education Department to resume the grants in eight Democratic-led states that are suing.
Five of the court’s six conservatives sided with the administration to grant the request. Chief Justice John Roberts and the court’s three liberal justices dissented.
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has announced the launch of a rogue “shadow government” dubbed the People’s Cabinet — a brazen attempt to sabotage President Donald Trump’s America First agenda.
The announcement comes on the heels of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s shocking call for a “shadow government” during a recent town hall in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, where he openly advocated for what he called “alternate press conferences” to spin the public with Democrat-approved talking points.
Now, DNC Chair Ken Martin is taking that vision a step further, turning it into an official operation.
The Supreme Court has granted President Donald Trump’s request to halt the reinstatement of millions of dollars in Department of Education grants that the government targeted over concerns about diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs.
Chief Justice John Roberts would have denied the administration’s request for relief, according to a court document. Justice Elena Kagan issued a dissent, as did Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, whose dissent was joined by Justice Sonia Sotomayor.

Remember how, after the September 11, 2001, attacks, the shock of a massive, deadly assault on our homeland was followed by the secondary shock of learning that a large chunk of the Muslim world had long been at war with us? And we hadn't even known it?
That's what's happening now in the aftermath of Trump's Liberation Day declaration. He wisely called his new import duties regimen "Reciprocal Tariffs," because that's what they are. President Trump didn't start this war; he's simply the first leader we've had in generations clear-headed enough to say, "Stop kicking us!"
We've known since the Reagan years, at least - probably back to the Coolidge years, for that matter - that we can't rely on the media to represent anything Republicans do honestly. In the Trump era, the legacy media has gone so far off the rails that we cannot rely on them to represent anyone to the right of Vyacheslav Molotov honestly. This has led, as we have seen, to an explosion of alternative media - you're reading an example of such right now.

Navarro said, “I’m glad and grateful we’re talking about this because America cannot get numb to the cruelty being inflicted on the Latino community, specifically by the Trump administration. Look, in my view, these people, mostly men, the ones they sent to El Salvador, are props as part of Donald Trump’s sick, cruel charade.”She continued, “He built this narrative that there was this gang that was overtaking America and that he was going to send hardened criminals and rapists,
A federal judge on Friday ordered the Trump Administration to return an alleged MS-13 gang member to the United States after he was deported to El Salvador’s notorious CECOT prison.
US District Judge of the US District Court for the District of Maryland, Paula Xinis, an Obama appointee, ordered the Salvadoran gang member to be returned by Monday at midnight.
“This was an illegal act,” Judge Paula Xinis told a Justice Department lawyer, according to Politico. “Congress said you can’t do it, and you did it anyway.”
Walmart is about to endure a boycott after backtracking on its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies.

However, Community Capital Partners claim they just want to build a place “in which people of every background, faith, and culture can live together in harmony.”

When President Trump re-assumed office, one of his stated goals was to protect women's sports. Specifically, the president vowed to bring an end to the practice of allowing transgender women, otherwise known as men, to compete unfairly against women, in women's sports leagues and teams. The president made changes to Title IX, which prohibits sex-based discrimination in any school that receives federal funding, to ensure that only women would be allowed to compete in women's sports.
These judges are getting out of control. That’s becoming an unfortunate evergreen statement ever since members of this gavel Gestapo have decided to engage in a campaign to wrest away authority explicitly outlined for the executive on numerous areas, like immigration policy. It’s reached new levels of absurdity now that a judge has ordered the Trump administration to re-import an MS-13 member they deported. The man’s name is Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who the fake news media has re-dubbed a “Maryland man.”

In a post on X, Newsom addressed the U.S.'s global trading partners, writing "California is here and ready to talk." It comes after a Fox News report revealed that Newsom is directing his state to pursue "strategic" relationships with countries announcing retaliatory tariffs against the U.S., urging them to exclude California-made products from those taxes.

Two things are happening here: first, the market was due for a reset. There was no way we’re going to maintain the volume that was artificially inflated through an orgy of government spending which created the Biden inflation crisis. Second, the global elites hate American workers. The sell-off post-Liberation Day, which we knew was coming, was induced by the elites who are unhappy that we have a president who is trying to protect American workers.
The reciprocal tariff rollout isn’t the Embargo Act of 1807. There will still be products on the shelves. The funniest thing about everyone freaking out about the tariffs
On April 2nd, President Donald J. Trump did something no other modern president has had the spine to do. He declared “Liberation Day” and slapped sweeping tariffs on the very nations that have been gutting the American economy for decades. A 10 percent universal tariff across all imports. Targeted, punitive tariffs up to 34 percent on bad actors like China. And guess what? We should be furious—not at Trump—but at the spineless presidents before him who let things get this bad in the first place. Let’s be clear: these tariffs didn’t start a trade war. They responded to one.

Democrats are acting like they can say things with impunity; you can’t. I’m a free speech extremist, folks—but there are apparent legal ramifications when you accuse someone of sexual impropriety when they have not committed any such act ever.
On Tuesday, Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D-CA) smeared Matt Taibbi, an independent liberal journalist, during a House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee hearing. She labeled him a serial sexual harasser. It was a blatant attempt to discredit Taibbi’s work, which has been brutal in exposing the censorship industrial complex within our national media and social media apparatuses. Taibbi is used to the heat—he was the subject of an IRS audit
When Beltway people and media members talk about the upcoming fight over renewing or making permanent the 2017 Trump tax cuts, the conversation often gets bogged down in details like the reconciliation process, the Parliamentarian's rulings on what can be included in such a legislative package, and internal debates over the sequencing of bills. The how is, of course, very important, but it's not the biggest story here. The other major angle that's often presented is whether or not Congressional Republicans will be able to cobble together the votes (which just got a little easier this week) to pass President Trump's signature agenda items.
The slow-motion suicide of Once-Great Britain continues apace as His Majesty's Government decides that a "rapist’s criminal record is so bad he can’t be deported" back to Jamaica. If this story sounds familiar, I promise you it's fresh news — about a stale idea.
A Jamaican national — whose identity is being kept secret — was allowed visitor status in the UK in 2001 after spending more than a decade in his home country's witness protection program. Again, many details haven't been made public, but the man's mother was the star prosecution witness in a trial that put away a local gang leader for murder.

WASHINGTON — Former first son Hunter Biden got help from the Obama administration — which his father, Joe, served as vice president — while repping Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings, which paid the younger Biden a million-dollar salary based on his political connections, bombshell federal files published Friday show.
The documents — which emerged 73 days after Joe Biden’s presidency ended — show Hunter, now 55, solicited and received commitments of State Department assistance for a Burisma geothermal subsidiary’s work in Italy.
Then-US Ambassador to Rome John Phillips, who had received a letter from Hunter asking for help, wrote to the then-second son in July 2016 that he was designating a subordinate
Former President Barack Obama and failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris on Thursday night attacked the 47th president’s actions as dangerous and “unconstitutional.”
Obama, during an on-stage interview at Hamilton College in Clinton, New York, chided Trump’s efforts to right-size the federal government and crack down on rampant illegal immigration among other actions to fulfill his “America First” agenda. “It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me, or a whole bunch of my predecessors,” Obama said.
During his DC trip that ended today, Vladimir Putin’s Special Envoy Kirill Dmitriev held negotiations with Steve Witkoff members of Donald J. Trump’s administration, and went on a media blitz: FOX News, CNN, Newsmax… always touting the progress made on the Peace Process between the US and Russia.
The mere emergence of Dmitriev as a major negotiator for the Russian side is a great development: not only is he the most knowledgeable between top officials when it comes to the US, he is also the greatest cheerleader for the détente between the nuclear superpowers among Putin’s aides.
President Donald Trump announced on Friday that Vietnam has agreed to eliminate tariffs on all U.S. goods if the two parties can negotiate a deal.
This could be a positive sign for President Trump’s controversial tariff strategy. On Wednesday, he announced sweeping global tariffs on other nations to pressure them into negotiating more favorable trade deals for the United States.In a post on Truth Social, Trump said he “had a very productive call with To Lam, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam.”
President Donald Trump’s agenda could lead to the Supreme Court clarifying U.S. law in major ways as it considers a series of lawsuits brought against his administration.
While his success is uncertain, the pending lawsuits have raised questions about the separation of powers and the scope of executive authority over spending, federal employment, immigration, and foreign policy.
(snip)More appeals are likely to emerge from the more than 100 lawsuits.(snip)Trump has been critical of the judges who have issued blocks on his actions and said that some should be impeached.

I wrote a piece on Ricochet entitled “If You Were Trying To Start A Race War”, which can be accessed here , in which I posed the question:

That piece was published a few days before the jury handed down its verdict —in what has to be record time for a capital case, and with not a single question to the Judge for clarification— of guilty on all three counts, indicating they unanimously believed beyond a reasonable doubt that Officer Chauvin caused George Floyd’s death.
After you finish this blog, you’ll be asking the million-dollar question: Why is Chief Justice John Roberts hanging out with the Deep State’s #1 color revolution architect? out the left’s favorite “Republican” has some very interesting buddies.(snip)

Liberal firebrand Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) took almost $400,000 from political action committees, despite claiming otherwise, documents seen by The Post reveal.
A 2020 tweet sent by the 44-year-old congresswoman — recently blasted for referring to disabled Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who uses a wheelchair, as “Hot Wheels” — claimed she had accepted “zero dollars” from corporate PACs while her opposition had taken $192,000.
However, campaign finance disclosure data for the period between July 5 and Dec. 31, 2020, show a different picture. Disclosures from when she ran for state representative of District 100 in the Dallas area show 22 different entries from donors described as PACs,
The teenager accused of fatally stabbing Austin Metcalf and leaving him to die in his twin brother’s arms at a high school track meet allegedly admitted to the senseless killing — but claimed it was in self-defense.
“I’m not alleged, I did it,” 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony chillingly told police in Frisco, Texas, as he was being arrested at Kuykendall Stadium, according to an arrest warrant obtained by NBC DFW.
The horrific stabbing was sparked when Anthony, who was sitting under another team’s pop-up tent as it rained Wednesday morning, was asked by Metcalf to move — and Anthony refused, according to the arrest report.
Pro-life activist Savannah Craven Antao was viciously attacked in broad daylight by an unhinged pro-abortion radical simply for speaking out in defense of the unborn.
Savannah, a fearless advocate with the pro-life organization Live Action, was on the streets of Harlem conducting peaceful interviews with New Yorkers for a video project titled “What Does Planned Parenthood Do? Perception vs. Reality?” when the attack occurred.
The goal? To educate the public about the horrors of abortion and the truth behind America’s largest abortion provider.
The European Union is considering levying a $1 billion fine against Elon Musk’s X, alleging that the social media company has violated its law against disinformation and illicit content, The New York Times reported.
Along with the hefty fine, the E.U. would also demand that X make changes to its product, according to the Times, which cited “four people with knowledge of the plans.” If the E.U. moves forward, it would be the first fine imposed by the body using its Digital Services Act (DSA). The DSA “regulates online intermediaries and platforms … to prevent illegal and harmful activities online and the spread of disinformation.”
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries is threatening to file a lawsuit against Texas Gov. Greg Abbott because he has not yet called for a special election to fill a vacant House seat.
The New York Democrat told NBC News it’s “very likely” his party takes legal action against the Republican governor, since no special election has been announced to fill the seat of the late Rep. Sylvester Turner, who died early last month.
Jeffries believes Abbott is delaying the special election to benefit House Republicans, who only have a slim majority.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is gearing up for a potential U.S. Senate run while no longer shadowed by a federal corruption investigation that hung over his rising profile in the Republican Party.
That durability would be tested against Republican Sen. John Cornyn should Paxton embark on what would likely be one of the country’s most contentious 2026 primary battles.
Paxton, a close ally of President Donald Trump, has hinted at challenging Cornyn for more than a year but has not said when he will make a decision.
Employers in the United States added 228,000 workers to their payrolls in March, the Department of Labor said Friday, and the unemployment rate inched up to 4.2 percent.
Economists had been expecting just 140,000 jobs would be added in March. The climb in the unemployment rate was expected. The private sector’s hiring was much stronger than expected. Economists had forecast 115,000 jobs. Businesses added 209,000 jobs.
The workforce participation rate climbed from 62.4 percent to 62.5 percent. The average workweek lengthened, a sign of increased demand for labor. Average hourly earnings rose 0.3 percent compared with February and 3.8 percent compared with a year ago.

The Biden dam breaks

During much of the last administration, and especially in its final year, the president of the United States suffered serious cognitive impairment. It wasn’t a secret — 81-year-old Joe Biden frequently had senior moments during public events. What was striking about the situation was that Biden’s staff, fellow Democrats, and allies in the media insisted that he was in good shape and sharp mentally when he obviously wasn’t.
The situation exploded on June 27, 2024, when Biden met rival Donald Trump for their first and, as it turned out, only debate. You know the story. Biden was so out of it that Democrats scrambled
The globalist World Economic Forum (WEF) founder Klaus Schwab has begun to “start the process” of stepping down as chair of its board of trustees, the Geneva-based institution confirmed Thursday.
The German academic said the forum, which convenes its annual gathering of world elites at the Swiss resort of Davos, must recover its “sense of mission” after a period of turmoil.
The Financial Times first reported Schwab’s departure, citing a letter to trustee board members and confirmation by two people with knowledge of the situation.
Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yván Gil demanded on Wednesday that the international community “put on their pants” and act to “free” the Venezuelan illegal migrants detained in El Salvador.
Socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro and other members of his authoritarian regime have repeatedly accused the United States of “kidnapping” 238 Venezuelan illegal migrants suspected of being members of the Tren de Aragua terrorist organization who were deported to El Salvador in March.
According to the Maduro regime, the 1798 Alien Enemies Act that President Donald Trump invoked to deport illegal migrants is an “anachronistic law” that violates human rights and its use is comparable to “slavery” and “Nazi concentration camps.”
“Rampant copper wire theft” is plunging Los Angeles into darkness, leading city officials to install solar-powered streetlights as a fortification measure.
Critics say undaunted thieves will just steal the valuable solar panels. They also wonder why Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is focusing on making infrastructure harder to steal instead of addressing theft itself.
“This installation is a result of Mayor Bass’ focus on improving city services and infrastructure for Angelenos by finding innovative and new ways to solve longstanding city challenges like rampant copper wire theft,” said Bass’s office in a statement. “Solar lighting disrupts the cycle of vandalism and robbery, providing a resilient and sustainable solution
San Quentin’s stone walls no longer turn blood cold: California’s infamous correctional facility is getting a $239 million makeover, courtesy of California taxpayers, as Governor Gavin Newsom attempts to turn the maximum security prison into a “restorative justice facility.”
The prison that once housed famous inmates such a Charles Manson will now be a Nordic-style rehabilitation center complete with “normalizing spaces” such as a farmer’s market, podcast studios, food trucks, and a self-service grocery store. Construction on the project is now under way, the San Francisco Chronicle reported, and will likely be complete in January 2026.
The director of the National Security Agency, Air Force Gen. Timothy Haugh, reportedly was fired Thursday from his post as the head of the agency.

The ousted NSA director’s civilian deputy, Wendy Noble, was also let go Thursday, according to the Washington Post, citing current and former US officials.
Nineteen Democrat-led states filed a lawsuit Thursday against President Donald Trump’s executive order requiring proof of citizenship to vote.

The lawsuit was filed by Arizona, California, Connecticut, Colorado, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Vermont and Wisconsin.
The Trump administration’s Health and Human Services Department has canceled hundreds of millions of dollars in grants dedicated to researching illegal sexual behavior in children, pregnancy prevention for “transgender boys,” and so-called sleep inequality affecting black sexual-minority men.

Crisis for Canadian Jewry

Because this is precisely where Canada is going. Historically, Canada has been behind Europe on antisemitism by a generation, but the pace at which it is gaining momentum is now catching up. The same forces that have harmed France and the United Kingdom are now entrenched in Canada: radicalized academic environments, media that demonize Israel and downplay antisemitism, politicians pressured to appease extremists, and a Jewish community that, even as it grows more alarmed, is still unwilling to confront the reality of the threat.
President Donald Trump’s tariffs plan is likely to create some price hikes, at least in the short term. Car prices are among the most prominent items likely to become more expensive, so Trump is also proposing that taxpayers be able to deduct interest payments on auto loans for domestic cars.
To be sure, Trump is not making an explicit linkage between looming car price hikes and the car loan idea. But even left unsaid, it could be an economic spoonful of sugar to help the medicine (tariffs) go down.
Trump originally pitched the proposal while campaigning for president in Michigan last year.
Everybody likes cheap stuff. We bargain hunt constantly, eager to find a way to save a dollar here and a dollar there while buying what we want and need. Clever retailers, eager to convince shoppers that they are saving money, will market sales as a means to entice customers through the door.
At the same time, we notice when things increase in price. Over the past four years, as inflation brought on by excessive government spending tore through the economy, Americans everywhere righteously grumbled about the increased cost of groceries, fuel, and other necessities. In the 2024 election, voters’ concerns about inflation helped doom the Democratic Party
House Republicans last week paved the way to overturn a Biden-era Department of Energy (DOE) rule regulating walk-in coolers and freezers, and on Thursday the Senate also voted to end the regulation.

Res. 24 in January, advocating to repeal a Biden-era rule titled, “Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Walk-In Coolers and Walk-In Freezers.” Senate Republicans approved the resolution with a 53-42 vote along party lines after it passed the House on March 27, pushing it to President Donald Trump’s desk for approval.
DOE officials said they wanted to impose newer energy conservation standards. The Washington, D.C.-based Competitive Enterprise Institute said

Ocasio-Cortez, while 36 percent backed or leaned toward backing Sen. Schumer. Nine percent were undecided.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order to secure elections, including requiring documentary proof of citizenship to vote — mirroring a bill set to be voted on in the House. While noncitizen voting is already illegal, the current law is largely toothless. Trump’s order, along with the House legislation, would simply add some teeth.
But Democrats are terrified that Republicans are finally taking the needed steps to enforce the law and protect our elections from violations that have been long ignored.
“Trump and Congressional Republicans are escalating their assault on American democracy through the noxious SAVE Act,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said in a statement.
President Trump is reclassifying employees in two federal agencies to pave the way for their eventual termination. The president had promised to reclassify 50,000 federal workers as political appointees and remove their immunity from termination.
He also promised to transfer 100,000 jobs out of Washington, D.C., to encourage bureaucrats to resign. By February, another 60,000 federal workers had accepted Trump’s buyout offer to leave their jobs in exchange for advance salaries.
On January 20, he also signed the executive order “Restoring Accountability To Policy-Influencing Positions Within The Federal Workforce” to manage the federal workforce and ensure the execution of federal law.

The Food and Drug Administration is "finished." One of its leading boosters for accelerated approval of mediocre drugs left in a huff. Drug stocks are dropping.
The shared interests of regulators and the industry they often join after or between federal service became unmistakable in the past week amid the Trump administration's extreme makeover of the federal public health workforce and leadership.

Seoul, South Korea — South Korea’s highest court has removed embattled President Yoon Suk Yeol from office, ending months of uncertainty and legal wrangling after he briefly declared martial law in December and plunged the nation into political turmoil.
The court’s decision on Friday marks Yoon’s formal dismissal from the presidency after parliament voted to impeach him late last year. His removal takes effect immediately, meaning he must now leave the presidential residence, and will trigger an election to replace him.
