Taylor Swift's fans are convinced the pop superstar will be taking on Whitney Houston's iconic role in a remake of the beloved 1992 film, The Bodyguard.
The romantic thriller originally starred Kevin Costner, 70, as Frank Farmer, a former Secret Service agent turned professional bodyguard, who is hired to protect Rachel Marron (Houston), a famous singer and actress, from an unknown stalker
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Monday said the White House will start interviewing candidates this fall to succeed Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, whose term ends in May 2026.
Bessent, speaking with Bloomberg TV during a visit to Argentina, said that would give the Trump administration about six months lead time before Powell leaves office. He gave no further details.
President Trump has pressed the Fed repeatedly to lower interest rates, posting on Truth Social on April 4: “CUT INTEREST RATES, JEROME, AND STOP PLAYING POLITICS!”
Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) signed the Democrats’ semiautomatic firearm ban into law last week and it means state residents wanting an AR-15 will have to first secure an “eligibility card” from their local sheriff.
Breitbart News tracked the semiautomatic firearm ban as it made its way through the Colorado legislature, warning that it would ban wildly popular AR and AK-rifles and their variants, as well as numerous shotguns and some pistols.
Gov. Polis signed the legislation on April 10, 2025, and the ban will take effect in August 2026. After that time, anyone who wants an AR-15 or similar rifle–or one of the banned
It's worth reminding readers of the reasons the man being described as the innocent “Maryland father” was “mistakenly” deported from Los Estados Unidos.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia is now cooling his heels in the most famous El Salvadoran prison in the world. He’s gotten more love from America's left than, say, the 14-year-old girl MS-13 hacked up with machetes in 2019 in Maryland. It’s strange, isn’t it? Ariana Funes-Diaz was hacked with a machete and hit with a baseball bat, and her lifeless and bloodied body was left in a ditch, but nobody seems to remember or care.
Los Angeles has long been the “Entertainment Capital of the World” as the film and television stars congregate to the area to film the next big thing — but a new study shows that the region’s claim to that title could be in jeopardy. According to nonprofit FilmLA, which helps production companies book filming spaces and obtain permits, the occupancy rate of soundstages across the L.A. area was at 63% in 2024 — a dramatic drop off from 90% in 2022 and the mid 90s from pre-pandemic times. The 63% rate also represents a 6% drop from 2023, marking a

A woke Ford executive has posted a bizarre online rant detailing how he confronted an elderly plane passenger for watching Fox News on a flight.
Barrett Evans, who works as the motor company's Chief Learning Officer according to his LinkedIn, posted a lengthy story about the incident on Threads.
Writing on his profile 'chivalryandchampagne', the exec said: 'Elderly passenger on my flight from San Diego yesterday enjoyed Fox ‘News’ for the entire ride. 'Deplaning and I notice he and his wife getting into their airport wheelchairs to be pushed to next gate. My filter was malfunctioning…
An all-female "crew" went to space on Monday courtesy of Jeff Bezos and his "Blue Origin" rocket. Among them were singer Katy Perry and left-wing anchor Gayle King, and somehow, both women managed to return to earth even more insufferable than before.
The pretentiousness of this quote from Perry is off the charts.
"I think that it's not about me, it's not about singing my songs, it's about a collective energy in there," Perry said afterward. "It's about making space for future women, and taking up space and belonging, and it's about this wonderful world that we see right out there and appreciating it.
The Trump administration was accused of breaking the law in a recent lawsuit after taking down a website meant to show the public how federal funding is disbursed to agencies.
A new lawsuit filed in federal court in D.C. accused the Trump administration of violating federal law last month when the online database overseen by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) “went dark, without explanation.”
“Congress mandated prompt transparency for apportionments to prevent abuses of power and strengthen Congress’s and the public’s oversight of the spending process,” the complaint reads. “Absent this transparency, the president and OMB may abuse their authority over the apportionment

Do you have a grievance with how the federal government is spending your tax money? A complaint over some wasteful practice or feather-bedded bureaucracy? I know I do - I could fill several volumes with complaints about government waste.
Well, now the Department of Government Efficiency - the DOGE - has an internet portal where you can take your complaint directly to them.
Now, that's a great idea. While there's certainly an "opening the floodgates" element to all this, soliciting feedback directly from the taxpayers sounds wonderful - we no longer have to wait until election day to let the federal government know how browned off we are about a
Washington— The Trump administration took its first step Monday toward ending federal funding of National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) — informing key members of Congress that it’s asking for them to eliminate “all” such spending while also codifying foreign aid cuts identified by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency.
The major funding changes are contained in a long-awaited “rescissions” plan, obtained and first reported by The Post, that pitches a clawback of $1.1 billion appropriated for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) and $8.3 billion from USAID.

The NFL Draft is around the corner, a glorious and chaotic time when professional football franchises continue to build their rosters and add depth for the regular season. There is no draft in media, but free agency is a 24/7 enterprise as outlets jockey to boost their team's talent. Today, Salem Media Group announced a significant new partnership with Donald Trump Jr. and Lara Trump. Salem acquired a 30% stake in Donald Trump Jr.'s MxM News and entered a long-term partnership with him focused on taking conservative media into the next era. Lara Trump has also renewed her exclusive podcast deal with Salem.

According to the press release, the first incident occurred on February 9th at a Tesla dealership.
The second took place on March 30th at the Republican Party’s state headquarters, also located in Albuquerque.
We have heard it time and again: America is a nation of immigrants. We pride ourselves on the fact that millions of people from all over the world have seen America, as Ronald Reagan said, as the "shining city on a hill," the place where they could find a better life for themselves and their families. But something is happening. The immigrants of the last century came to America because they wanted to assimilate into American culture. They wanted to become Americans. Now, there is no such intention. And in one case, isolation, not assimilation, appears to be the goal.
Nancy Pelosi is adamant she won’t release her grip on the Democratic Party despite their resounding defeat in 2024 and a growing chorus urging her to step down, sources tell The Post.
Ex-President Joe Biden named Pelosi one of the chief architects of the move to push him aside for Kamala Harris to run at short notice, and she was instrumental in the disastrous $1 billion campaign which followed – leading the party to lose the White House, Senate and House of Representatives.
Younger members of the party and even current House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries believe it’s time for a refresh and
A Maryland jury on Monday found illegal immigrant Victor Antonio Martinez-Hernandez guilty of murdering Bel Air woman Rachel Morin in August 2023.

Prosecutors rested their case on Friday, and on Monday the defense rested its case after less than 10 minutes before closing arguments were made, FOX 45 reported.
I'm not a doctor and I don't play one on TV, so please take it as a non-medical, totally unprofessional diagnosis when I tell you that Taylor Lorenz is a high-functioning sociopath with murder in her heart and CNN's Donie O'Sullivan is one of the many moral cowards in the legacy dinosaur media who enable her.

Her specialty, even before being virtually fired last year from the Washington Post, is playing
Chicago’s public school teachers have overwhelmingly approved a four-year labor contract to raise their average salary to more than $114,000 per year.
Chicago Teachers Union leaders announced Monday that 85% of CTU members participated in the election, and 97% of those who voted cast ballots in favor of the tentative agreement.
CTU president Stacy Davis Gates cited the union’s democratic process and thanked members for their robust participation.
“Last Thursday and Friday, they voted in overwhelming, historic levels to ratify this (tentative agreement) to a contract. This agreement was bargained by 65 rank-and-file members of our union, people who are educating your children right now,” Gates said.
Police arrested a 25-year-old man for allegedly sending threatening messages to director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and her husband.
The DOJ announced the arrest of Aliakbar Mohammed Amin on Monday, saying he had sent threatening text messages to Gabbard between March 29 and April 1.
The threats included Amin allegedly writing, "You and your family are going to die soon" and "I will personally do the job if necessary."
"Death to America means death to America literally, Tulsi is living on borrowed time," another text read.
Americans must be hit by “surround-sound” PR to help reverse the public’s rejection of migration, says a co-executive director of a lobby group funded by billionaire heiress Laurene Powell Jobs.
“Pro-immigrant messaging must be strategic, relentless, and funded to scale at the speed of modern media consumption,” director Beatriz Lopez wrote in an April 9 article.
The goal is to manufacture an apparent public “consensus” for more migration, according to Lopez:
Dr. Mae Jemison, a former National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) astronaut, derailed an interview with CBS host Vladimir Duthiers on Monday after he used the word “mankind.” Duthiers asked Jemison to explain why Blue Origin’s eleventh space tourism launch, which carried several celebrities, benefited “mankind,” which prompted the former astronaut to demand that he say “humankind” instead. Duthiers could be heard apologizing during the interview for using a commonly used term and corrected himself to say “humankind.”

Even with generous subsidies, green retrofits such as solar panels and heat pumps take anywhere from 8 to 48 years to pay off for homeowners, according to a Washington Post analysis released Monday.
Solar panels, one of the most popular retrofits, typically require more than eight years to offset their upfront cost despite existing federal and state incentives that cut their price by more than half, the Post reported based on Harvard University's modeling of a typical American home.
Vaughn Paris Drake Jr, America's oldest living veteran of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, has passed away. He was 106. He is survived by his wife, Lina Wilson Drake, his son Samuel Drake, two grandsons, and three great-grandchildren. Vaughn P. Drake Jr. from Kentucky was 23 years old at the time of the Japanese attack on the US Pacific naval base in Hawaii, according to a press release.
He was working as an Army engineer at Kaneohe Naval Air Station on Oahu on the day of the shocking attack on December 7, 1941, which precipitated America’s entry into World War II.
A Senate Democrat announced plans to travel to El Salvador later this week if an alleged MS-13 gang member, who was detained last month in Maryland, deported, and imprisoned in his home country, is not returned to the United States.
Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) issued the statement on Monday as an ultimatum, expressing his desire to speak with El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele, who is currently in Washington, D.C., to meet with President Donald Trump.
“Kilmar Abrego Garcia never should have been abducted and illegally deported, and the courts have made clear: the Administration must bring him home, now,” Van Hollen said.
The sanctuary cities of Chicago and Philadelphia have canceled their annual Cinco de Mayo parades, citing fears of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids targeting criminal illegal aliens.
The decision, announced by local organizers, is being slammed as a blatant attempt to harbor lawbreakers and undermine federal immigration enforcement under President Donald Trump’s renewed crackdown on illegal immigration.
In Chicago, the Cermak Road Chamber of Commerce and Casa Puebla pulled the plug on the Little Village parade, a long-standing celebration of Mexican-American culture, claiming the community is “frightened” by ICE’s efforts to apprehend illegal aliens.
President Donald Trump celebrated pro golfer Rory McIlroy’s Masters win on Sunday, calling McIlroy’s game an “amazing” effort.
By winning the legendary green jacket, McIlroy became only the sixth pro golfer to achieve a Grand Slam, winning every pro golf major at least once in his career. “I have to congratulate Rory,” Trump said when asked if he watched this year’s Masters, Fox News reported. “That took tremendous courage. He was having a hard time, but it showed great guts, stamina, and courage.”
The president said, “People have no idea how tough that is. He came back. It’s better for him that it happened that way because that showed real courage
You know, after what happened to Bud Light, and after Donald Trump's resounding election victory in November, one would think woketivists in corporate America would want to dial it down a bit if for no other reason than to spare their colleagues the humiliation that comes from the pushback that inevitably ensues.
While some clearly have gotten the message, others have not, which brings us to the latest example, which comes from an executive at Ford Motor Company.
A man named Barrett Evans, who reportedly is the "Chief Learning Officer" at Ford, recently detailed an alleged exchange with a man who he says watched Fox News "for the entire ride"
For years, our military has been on a path to wokeness and weakness. Expecting our soldiers to be warriors was anathema to the diversity, equity, and inclusion goal. And now we have reaped the pathetic outcomes of a military that is ill-prepared to protect our country and serve its people.
President Trump is determined, with the hard work of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, to turn this situation around. They know, as do the officials from the academies, that it will be hard work:

NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal was dragged on social media for daring to be friendly with President Donald Trump.
The former Los Angeles Lakers star was given no mercy after a moment that went viral from the UFC 314 fight on Saturday night, where Trump arrived to a roaring welcome from the crowd.
Accompanied by his grandchildren, Elon Musk, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., FBI Director Kash Patel, and UFC President Dana White, the president was seen in a video clip shaking hands with Shaq, leaning in to say something to the 7-foot tall former professional basketball player.
National championship trophies do not come with handling instructions, but perhaps they should.

Federal Prison After Setting Fire to Alabama Church replies
An illegal alien from China who was sentenced last year for setting fire to a historic Alabama church in 2021 is now accused of escaping the federal prison where she was serving her sentence.
On September 30, 2021, 31-year-old Xiaoquin Yan of China set four fires in the sanctuary of First Baptist Church Montgomery in Montgomery, Alabama. Yan caused tens of thousands of dollars of damage to the church, which was founded in 1829; its existing sanctuary has been around since 1916.
Yan had been scoping the church out for months prior to the fire and had referred to the church’s pastors as “rich white men.”
U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) is requesting a meeting with El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele to demand the return of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia — a known MS-13 gang member deported to El Salvador. Abrego-Garcia, who a judge has found to be a member of the MS-13 gang, was removed as the result of an administrative error, according to ICE officials. Van Hollen has promised to travel to El Salvador if Abrego-Garcia is not returned.
In a letter to Milena Mayorga, Salvadoran Ambassador to the United States, Van Hollen wrote, “The U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously that Mr. Abrego Garcia was wrongly deported to a prison in El Salvador.
MSNBC national affairs analyst John Heilemann said Monday on “Morning Joe” that President Donald Trump’s administration was arguing before the Supreme Court that it could “take anyone in the United States and disappear them to a foreign country.”
Co-host Jonathan Lemire said, “The White House deliberately chose who they thought were, quote, unsavory characters that there wouldn’t be mass unrest, mass uprising to protest and try to defend them. We should note, president Trump, we heard them on Friday saying, well, we’ll we’ll agree with we’ll defer to the Supreme Court. Well, everything administration has done since then saying no, basically saying, well, that’s not our problem anymore.
The Left is melting down once again—and this time, it’s over a tinfoil-hat-level conspiracy theory that President Donald Trump is preparing to declare martial law on April 20.
The same people who spent years mocking “QAnon” are now pushing a full-blown BlueAnon fantasy of their own.
The source of this hysteria? None other than James Carville, the aging Democratic strategist who’s apparently desperate to stay relevant.
On a recent episode of Politics War Room, Carville was asked whether Trump was trying to provoke enough unrest to declare martial law and suspend the 2026 elections.
“You’re so correct to be concerned about this… It’s getting worse by the day.
This exchange is why we elected Donald Trump. It’s everything. Nayib Bukele, El Salvador’s president, visited the White House, where the media opted to go with the Abrego Garcia story. This illegal alien was deported to El Salvador, his home country. The media and the Democrats want him back—he’s not coming back. President Bukele shot down that notion, mocking the question, calling it “preposterous.” “The question is preposterous," he said. "How can I smuggle a terrorist into the United States? I don't have the power to return him to the United States."
On Sunday, it was the final chance for residents in Minnesota to get their favored $8 coffee to go along with a $16 bacon-egg-cheese breakfast sandwich. Café Cerés is (was) a local chain of upper-end coffee shops in the metroplex that was favored by the locals, but April 13 saw the chain closing its doors. The business was brought to an end not by a rough economy but by its workers.
Last fall, the employees at the four locations voted to unionize. What you will see on display is a common theme found in the latest generation of workers, where the staff displays an overinflated sense of value and power.
Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele told U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House on April 14 that an illegal alien deported back to his home country of El Salvador will not be returned to the United States.

Florida's Voice host Eric Daugherty breaks it down for us:
I’ve read plenty of books that moved me. I’ve read plenty of Scripture that shattered me. But I don’t know that I’ve ever read a more human, haunting, and holy book than *Heaven, How I Got Here* by Colin Smith.
It’s a small book. Short. Simple. But it’ll wreck you—and rebuild you.
Because it doesn’t tell the story of a theologian, a pastor, or a great missionary. No. It tells the story of the last person Jesus ever spoke to before He died.
The thief on the cross.
We know him. We’ve heard his voice echo across the centuries from Luke’s Gospel:
“Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”
And Jesus told him,
That Space Force colonel in command in Greenland – well, formerly in command in Greenland – who ran her fool mouth to undermine her commander-in-chief demonstrates an all-too-common problem with today’s senior military officers. We keep seeing these passive-aggressive, and not so passively aggressive, officers acting out and throwing childish tantrums of resistance to the President that the people of the United States elected. It’s inconceivable to those of us from the military who won the Cold War; we stayed the hell out of politics. Somehow, they must have missed that civilian control block of instruction; non-partisanship is a vital principle of our officer corps.
Five former prosecutors who worked on the effort to railroad those involved in the January 6, 2021, riot at the US Capitol Building have demanded an investigation into President Donald Trump’s pick to become Washington, DC’s new top prosecutor.

As Tax Day approaches, the Senate’s DOGE leader announced a new effort Monday aimed at cracking down on federal bureaucrats who have racked up billions in unpaid taxes.
Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, is introducing the Tax Delinquencies and Overdue Debts are Government Employees' Responsibility (Tax DODGER) Act in response to reports of tax scofflaws within the bureaucracy the taxes themselves are supposed to bankroll.
The Tax DODGER Act would require the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to publish an annual report on tax delinquencies of current and retired federal employees, including those who failed to file a 1040 or other tax return.
I’m telling you, something isn’t adding up. As much as I’d love to forget all about the Obamas, even as their brand is collapsing, the media still hangs on their every word.

The Department of Agriculture has announced plans to close its mammoth headquarters in Washington, lay off thousands of its nearly 100,000 employees, and relocate offices and many remaining workers to hubs across the country. The decision follows President Donald Trump’s executive order to transform “the Federal bureaucracy” by eliminating “waste, bloat, and insularity.”
This should come as no surprise. In 2023, Trump promised that if reelected, he would “continue the efforts launched by the Trump administration to move parts of the sprawling federal bureaucracy to new locations outside the Washington Swamp.

Janet Yellen, who served as Treasury Secretary in the Biden administration, faced a reality check on Monday after saying that she thought the idea of bringing manufacturing back to the United States was a “pipe dream,” dismissing one of the goals of President Donald Trump’s tariff agenda.
Within hours of Yellen making the comment on CNBC, top semiconductor company Nvidia unveiled plans to fully produce its AI supercomputers in the United States and invest half a trillion dollars of AI infrastructure through partnerships on American soil.

A high school senior in Baltimore County has filed a lawsuit after being suspended for raising concerns about the absence of American flags in classrooms at Towson High School, citing what he believes to be a violation of state education policy and his constitutional rights.
Parker Jensen, a senior at Towson High School and an aspiring U.S. Marine, was suspended for seven days after he visited the Baltimore County Board of Education to inquire about the lack of flags in school classrooms.
According to a report by WBFF-TV, Jensen’s visit resulted in the police being called to the scene, with three officers responding to the school board headquarters.
“When the sun goes down, the tide goes out, the people gather 'round and they all begin to shout, ‘Hey, hey, in the dusk, it's a lift to beat the left with ol' Mississippi Musk!’” Okay, okay, so it’s not as catchy as the actual song, but one thing that is catching is the Trumpian quest to cut the fat from government spending and make more efficient, and saner, use of the taxpayers’ money. In Mississippi, state auditor Shad White, also known as “Mississippi Musk,” has been hard at work against state government bloat, and what he has found is enlightening.

You do not have to wade far into the recently declassified Crossfire Hurricane documents to be shocked. I had only read three pages of the FBI’s December 19, 2016 interview with the DoJ’s Bruce Ohr before learning just how early in the game the FBI brass knew that the Steele dossier was worthless. In the way of background, on July 31, 2016, the FBI launched its counterintelligence operation into the Trump campaign, codenamed “Crossfire Hurricane.” FBI agent Peter Strzok was assigned to head it up.
If the goal was to cripple Trump regardless of the evidence, Strzok was the man for the job.
Genocidal Chinese dictator Xi Jinping arrived in Vietnam on Monday for a state visit whose top priority appears to be ensuring Hanoi’s support as Beijing faces soaring tariff rates meant to limit its influence on the American economy.

A private plane that crashed in upstate New York over the weekend was carrying six members of a close-knit family of physicians and distinguished student-athletes on a trip to the Catskills for a birthday celebration and the Passover holiday.
The twin-engine Mitsubishi MU-2B went down shortly after noon Saturday in a muddy field in Copake, New York, near the Massachusetts line, killing everyone on board, according to authorities and a family member who spoke to The Associated Press.
Shortly before the crash, the pilot had radioed air traffic control at Columbia County Airport to say he had missed the initial approach and requested a new approach plan,
The helicopter tour company involved in the fatal crash over New York City’s Hudson River on April 10 will cease operations immediately, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said on Sunday.
The FAA said on April 13 it is launching an immediate review of New York Helicopter Tours’ license and safety record in the aftermath of the crash that killed the pilot and a family of five visiting from Spain.
The aviation regulator also stated that it will continue to support the National Transportation Safety Board’s (NTSB) investigation into the fatal crash.
On Wednesday, April 9, President Trump signed three major executive orders to modernize the United States Military defense infrastructure and restore American maritime dominance. While issuing these executive orders from the Oval Office on Wednesday, President Trump first signed the executive order titled, “Restoring America’s Maritime Dominance.” Upon delivering this executive order to President Trump, White House Staff Secretary Will Scharf informed President Trump.
Eleven more violent illegal migrants — including seven alleged Tren de Aragua gangbangers and one from MS-13– were booted from the US and deported to El Salvador over the weekend, The Post has learned — as President Trump was set to host President Nayib Bukeleat at the White House Monday.
At least seven of the deported migrants were kicked out Sunday over their alleged ties to the Venezuelan prison gang, a senior administration official said.
One more was allegedly linked to the violent MS-13 street gang.
A U.S. Navy veteran and his wife were subjected to the full weight of the government’s iron fist as Child Protective Services—backed by armed deputies—stormed their home and seized their one-month-old, breastfeeding infant.
There was no warrant. No due process. No criminal charge.
This happened not in communist China, nor in North Korea. It happened in suburban Virginia. In America. In 2025.
Farzin Yazdani, a Navy veteran, father, and respected engineer, has become the latest victim of a weaponized family court system—a system increasingly aligned with radical bureaucrats and progressive ideologues
Sunday night marked another explosive chapter in President Trump’s ongoing battle with the dishonest corporate media, as he fired off a pair of Truth Social posts eviscerating the long-disgraced CBS program “60 Minutes” for airing not one—but two—blatantly false hit pieces against him.
This is not the first time “60 Minutes” was accused of running deliberately false reports in order to take down President Trump.
It can be recalled that ’60 Minutes’ cut Kamala’s nonsensical answer to a question and replaced it with a completely separate sentence she said earlier in the interview. This was fraud and election interference.
President Donald Trump will host El Salvadorian President Nayib Bukele at the White House Monday as the Department of Homeland Security ramps up deportations.
"If he [Bukele] can take these horrible criminals for less money than it costs us, I'm in—but I only do things in accordance with the law," Trump said last week. (X Video) After a visit from Secretary of State Marco Rubio in February, Bukele agreed to accept illegal immigrants in the U.S. for imprisonment in his country. Bukele has an 80 percent approval rating after winning a landslide election and cracking down on crime.
And they’re off like a firework.
Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket took off Monday morning with its star-studded, glammed-up, all-female crew, including singer Katy Perry, Jeff Bezos’ fiancée Lauren Sanchez, and “CBS Mornings” co-host Gayle King.
The New Shepard 31 soared through the Texas sky with the three celebrities and crew mates Amanda Nguyen, Aisha Bowe, and Kerianne Flynn, who enjoyed around just a few minutes in space before returning to earth as part of an 11-minute historic space tourism flight.
Stephen A. Smith, the fast-talking ESPN “quick take” guru (and occasional beef jerky salesman) is, in a roundabout way, a colleague of Joe Rogan: They’ve appeared together on ESPN’s UFC telecasts.
Rogan, of course, is one of the leading experts in cagefighting. He personally competed in martial arts tournaments throughout his early 20s and was an eyewitness to some of the biggest, most dramatic moments in MMA history. He knows the trainers and the fighters like the back of his (fist); they’re his closest friends.
So when Rogan heard Smith saying something stupid and disrespectful about a UFC fighter, he called him out. Here’s a short,
The arson suspect believed to have set Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro’s house on fire on the first night of Passover admitted to authorities that he hated Shapiro — and said he would’ve beaten him with a hammer if he found him, according to a criminal complaint.

Both online and print media are full of talk about an economic recession, one that’s either already here or ready to hit. How much of the recession angst is driven by the media? Are Americans worried about a recession now, and if so, who will get the blame? The I&I/TIPP Poll sought answers to these questions in its April survey.
The national online poll, taken by 1,452 adults from March 26 to March 28, first asked this:
“A recession is traditionally defined as two consecutive quarters of negative economic growth. In 2022, this happened — but many in the media denied

Ships in Panama Canal replies
Panama Ciry, Panama — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had one mission on his trip to Panama — to secure a deal to get “first and free” passage for U.S. ships in the Panama Canal, a critical waterway for the United States’ economy and military that was at risk of falling under China’s control.
As the secretary and his team flew the down from Washington on Monday evening to meet with Panama’s leaders, such a deal with Panama was far from certain.
While the U.S. had built the canal in the early 1900s and maintained it for decades before handing it over to Panama, China had in recent years poured money
No one wants a “trade war” with China, or for that matter with any nation. Nonetheless, China has been waging one for years and is now locked in a tariff recalibration with the Trump administration. In this American effort to find trade parity and equity, China can do some short-term damage to the U.S., especially in terms of ceasing exports of some pharmaceuticals, phones, and computers. But ultimately, it cannot win—and will eventually lose catastrophically. It will likely accept that reality sooner rather than later. We are only in the first week of the escalating rhetoric and tariffs. But already China is appealing to its
When he’s not busy ending wars, deporting illegal aliens, overhauling the federal bureaucracy and drastically reordering world trade, the president has big plans for matters closer to home.
Donald Trump, the property developer, is busting out of the political straitjacket to bling the Oval Office and reimagine the White House.
From planning a “beautiful, magnificent” new ballroom to paving over the Rose Garden to create a convivial Mar-a-Lago- style terrace, the 45th-turned-47th president is determined to make his mark on the White House this time.
“It keeps my real estate juices flowing,” he told a reporter recently.
Last week, after announcing a pause on reciprocal tariffs,
The general consensus among informed political analysts is that the Republicans emerged from last November’s election in control of the White House and Congress due to the border crisis and persistent inflation. The Trump administration curtailed the influx of illegal immigrants with remarkable speed and the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for March suggests that inflation is also returning to the modest levels that prevailed throughout President Trump’s first term. The CPI declined by .01 percent last month, a year-over-year rate of 2.4 percent, while core inflation sank to a four-year low.
Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that Congress had to take away the tariff authority from President Donald Trump.
Warren said, “It is a mistake to have the President of the United States out there just playing red light, green light and saying, oh, this morning I woke up and think the tariffs should be this big. Now, I think they should be this big; now, I think they should be somewhere else. And I got to say, saying, well, I will continue to make those decisions and I’m going to hold off on these tariffs for 90 days,

In a striking contrast to the often secular tone of past administrations, the White House under President Donald Trump is planning an “extraordinary” Holy Week, emphasizing Easter's spiritual and cultural significance. As the nation prepares to mark the holiest days on the Christian calendar, Trump ensures the observance receives the reverence it deserves—offering a clear nod to the values of faith, tradition, and religious liberty that remain central to millions of Americans.
“President Trump promised millions of Christians across the country that he would create a White House Faith Office, and he delivered on that promise," White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said.

On Saturday, in Los Angeles, faithful agitator and failed commune contributor Bernie Sanders performed his latest “Down With the Oligarchy” act. Joining octogenarian Bernie was his new Tanto, New York Dem Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Also on stage were octogenarian Joan Baez and 79-year-old Neil Young. Add up all those ages, and they've collectively lived more years than the USA has been a country.
The appearance of Bernie and AOC together evokes little interest in me. It’s like watching the same “pull my finger” joke. Bernie and his socialist sidekick sang the same tired folk fables about class warfare while lying about Musk and lying about Trump.
In a stunning win for election integrity, the great state of Arizona is partnering with the Department of Homeland Security to verify the state's voter rolls, with as many as 50,000 non-citizens expected to be purged. The action is the result of a lawsuit filed against 15 Arizona counties by America First Legal (AFL).
All 15 Arizona counties have now begun the process of verifying and removing noncitizens from their voter rolls, including nearly 50,000 registrants who did not provide proof of U.S. citizenship.
"This settlement is a great result for all Arizonans," America First Legal (AFL) senior counsel James Rogers told Fox News Digital
The Department of Justice's response to a request by the attorneys representing El Salvadoran national Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia for a "show cause" holding the government in contempt didn't go exactly according to the script the plaintiffs had in mind. It served notice on Obama-appointed federal judge Paula Xinis that she was mistaken if she thought the Department of Justice or the White House were shaking in their boots. It is the philosophical follow-up to the last response the DOJ sent to the judge; see Trump Admin Respectfully Tells Judge Xinis to Pound Sand in Abrego Garcia Case – RedState.
San Francisco was once a shining example of a great American city, but now it is mostly a punchline. The metropolis that gave us epic Mark Twain quotes, Levi’s, an iconic music scene, the Golden Gate Bridge, and so much more is now known more for excrement on the street, crime, mass drug addiction, and homeless people sprawled across the sidewalks. Given that, you’d think they’d figure out what to prioritize to improve the lives of their citizens.
