An outspoken critic of the Israel-Hamas war was arrested by immigration authorities while trying to become a citizen. Columbia University student Mohsen Mahdawi, a Palestinian green card holder, reportedly went to an immigration office in Vermont on Monday to complete what he thought would be the next step toward citizenship. “Instead, he was arrested and removed in handcuffs by plainclothes, armed individuals with their faces covered,” according to a joint statement from Senators Bernie Sanders and Peter Welch, in addition to Rep. Becca Balint. “These individuals refused to provide any information as to where he was being taken or what would happen to him.”

‘Overwhelmed’ with Transgender Asylum
Requests from U.S. 5 replies
Canadian media reported this week that immigration attorneys and LGBTQQIAAP2S+ activists have noticed a significant spike in the number of requests for information from Americans identifying as transgender seeking to move to Canada, claiming persecution under the administration of President Donald Trump.
The Globe and Mail quoted multiple Canadian lawyers on Tuesday who said they were “overwhelmed” by the number of calls from alarmed transgender Americans seeking a way to claim political asylum in Canada. Some calls are also from parents whose children are being subjected to medical procedures in response to alleged gender dysmorphia, which the Trump administration has referred to as “child sexual mutilation” and vowed to eradicate.
A 10-year-old California girl is set to graduate from college this spring. “I just enjoy learning,” she said. “There’s so many interesting things out there.”
Alisa Perales, who learned how to read at 2 years old and began doing algebra at the age of five, started taking classes at Crafton Hills College — a community college in Yucaipa, California — when she was just 8 years old, according to a report by ABC7 WWSB.
“It’s very fun to me,” Perales told the outlet. “It’s almost as fun as playing outside or riding a bike or doing whatever. I just enjoy learning. There’s so many interesting things out there.”

Once upon a time, nuclear power was seen as the future. Nuclear reactors were going to produce electricity so cheaply that it wasn't even going to be worth billing customers.
The budding nuclear industry didn't take long to disabuse the public of that pipe dream. And then the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) happened.
Like every other regulatory body in the history of human civilization, the NRC believed that more regulations made the public safer and justified its existence to Congress.
The NRC has a unique means of funding. It gets 90% of its budget from assessing various fees it collects from the nuclear industry, including applications for licenses,
Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced on Wednesday that he's going above and beyond to continue protecting the free speech of every citizen in the United States — something that State Department wasn't doing previously. As a matter of fact, the State Department’s Counter Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference (R/FIMI) had "actively silenced and censored the voices of Americans they were supposed to be serving" — particularly conservatives — and we were paying at least $50 million per year for it to do so.
But Rubio has now shut it down, placing 30 full-time staff members on leave, eliminating all 50 full-time staff positions,
So, who is going to reimburse taxpayers for this absolute waste of a trip congressional Democrats took to El Salvador to bust out a deported illegal alien who is likely an MS-13 member? Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), who cared nothing for Rachel Morin, a mother who was raped and murdered by an illegal alien, decided he just had to fly down there to get Abrego Garcia out of jail. [Tweets, videos]
Did anyone think this was going to be a successful trip? President Nayib Bukele already said he wasn’t releasing Garcia. And now, this epic waste of resources for nothing.
Honestly, I haven’t thought about Keith Olbermann in a long, long time. But apparently, he’s still out there, trying to be relevant. Yet, he unwittingly gave himself the wrong kind of publicity when he posted a completely unhinged rant in a video on X.
In the video, the former MSNBC host called for the arrest of Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and ICE Director Tom Homan, accusing them of defying a Supreme Court order.
“Noem, the head of the Department of Homeland Security, and Tom Homan, the head of ICE [sic] must be arrested immediately for contempt of court,” Olbermann raged.
You had to know it was coming at some point.

Dogs have “extensive and multifarious” environmental impacts, disturbing wildlife, polluting waterways and contributing to carbon emissions, new research has found.
An Australian review of existing studies has argued that “the environmental impact of owned dogs is far greater, more insidious, and more concerning than is generally recognised”.
Joe Biden’s private email scandal is likely much worse than Hillary Clinton’s email scandal.
And just like Hillary, Biden was never indicted for his use of burner phones and private emails while he was US Vice President.
Special Counsel Robert Hur ignored Joe Biden’s use of private emails.
The National Archives previously confirmed through a FOIA response that they found 5,138 email messages and 25 electronic files pertaining to the known Joe Biden pseudonym accounts robinware456@gmail.com, JRBWare@gmail.com and Robert.L.Peters@pci.gov.

Cody Balmer, the suspect who allegedly burned the Pennsylvania governor’s mansion, while Governor Josh Shapiro and his family were in it, is now known to be a far left socialist and BLM supporter.
That is not how the media is reporting on him.
A memo must have gone out because at least two liberal media outlets are emphasizing the fact that Balmer was ‘critical of the Democrats.’
What might a person infer from that last part? That he’s a right winger? Is that why they media is doing this? Or are they trying to imply that Democrats are dealing with threats just like Republicans? Either way, it’s completely dishonest.
Pelosi’s angels.
Democrats have a long history of defending violent, illegal alien gangbangers.
Former Democrat Leader Nancy Pelosi defended MS-13 in 2018 saying they were “God’s children…” and, “There’s a spark of divinity in every person.”
MS13’s motto is, “Kill, rape, control.”
That won’t keep Democrats from defending this brutal and evil multi-national gang.
On Monday, Democrat leader Hakeem Jeffries once again came unglued and vowed to defend the illegal alien, MS-13 gangbangers.
Democrats are VERY upset that an illegal alien MS-13 gangbanger was returned to El Salvador. And Democrats were absolutely outraged that the Salvadoran President said he will NOT return the dangerous illegal alien gangbanger back to the US.

Garcia Perez had been wanted by the Opelika Police Department in Alabama on first-degree rape charges. Details around the rape charge are still unknown.
His brother, illegal alien Jose Luis Maldonado Perez of Guatemala, had already been arrested for first-degree hindering prosecution in the case against Garcia Perez.

Democrats are freaking out that El Salvador won’t return a man despite the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) ruling on the deportation.
Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele is refusing to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, deported by President Donald Trump’s administration amid suspicion of MS-13 gang affiliation. When questioned by reporters on whether he’s going to abide by last week’s SCOTUS ruling ordering the return of Abrego Garcia to the United States, Bukele’s response was blunt.
“Of course I’m not going to do it,” he said.
Both Trump and Garcia have agreed that they lack the power to return Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national

A federal judge on Monday blocked the Trump administration from revoking the legal status and work permits of the more than 530,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela who flew into the United States during former President Joe Biden's time in office.
The migrants came to the U.S. under Biden's controversial controversial CHNV mass humanitarian parole program.
In her order, Judge Indira Talwani, an Obama appointee, wrote that each migrant needs to have an individualized, case-by-case review.
Gayle King on Tuesday suggested it was sexist to characterize her brief trip into space with Blue Origin as a “space ride.” King and several other celebrities — including pop star Katy Perry — took part in an all-woman space flight Monday morning. The fiancee of Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos was also part of the group. In the aftermath of the 11-minute trip, critics wondered what the purpose of the trip was. Some even flatly dismissed it as a publicity stunt. The next morning, King and fellow Blue Origin crewmate Aisha Bowe talked about scientific impact similar trips on

Washington— Former President Joe Biden returns to the national stage Tuesday to elevate liberal concerns that President Donald Trump’s agenda is threatening the health of Social Security.
The 82-year-old Democrat has largely avoided speaking publicly since leaving the White House in January. That’s even as Trump frequently blames Biden for many of the nation’s problems, often attacking his predecessor by name.
Biden is expected to fight back in an early evening speech to the national conference of Advocates, Counselors and Representatives for the Disabled in Chicago. While Biden has made a handful of public appearances in recent weeks, Tuesday’s high-profile address focuses on a critical issue for tens of millions of Americans
In a Monday night letter, William J. Pulter, director of the U.S. Federal Housing Agency (FHFA), referred New York Attorney General Letitia James to the Department of Justice for prosecution of mortgage fraud. (snip) Pulter said the agency has "identified matters that are appropriate for referral to the U.S. Department of Justice for consideration of criminal prosecution."
He added that, based on media reports, "Ms. Letitia James has, in multiple instances, falsified bank documents and property records to acquire government backed assistance and loans and more favorable loan terms."
There is a cancer in America’s military ranks, and it must be expunged before it’s too late. That cancer lies in uniformed service members’ widespread rejection of the uniquely American concept of civilian control of the military and disregard for the absolute necessity that America’s military officers remain apolitical in the face of the constitutional will of the electorate. Recent events reveal this cancer,... [Snip] I have heard from some anti-Trump officers that it is acceptable for them to challenge Trump and be “disloyal” to him on political matters...

Joe Biden crawled out of his basement bunker to deliver a speech to the national conference of Advocates, Counselors and Representatives for the Disabled in Chicago on Tuesday evening.
Biden railed against the Trump Administration and Elon Musk’s DOGE team for cutting government waste and fraud.
This is Biden’s first major public speech since leaving office. Last month Biden delivered remarks at the National High School Model United Nations (NHSMUN) last week and not one media outlet covered the event.
82-year-old Biden struggled to speak on Tuesday evening and recounted seeing “colored kids” on the bus back in the day.

The Texas teen accused of fatally stabbing another high schooler at a track meet was released from jail Monday after posting a reduced $250,000 bond and will remain on house arrest until his trial.
A judge in Collin County slashed the 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony’s initial $1 million bond and said he may await trial at home with an ankle monitor and 24-hour supervision from his parents or an “adult designee.”
Anthony has been locked in Collin County Jail for allegedly stabbing Austin Metcalf, also 17, in the heart during a fight over a seat at a track meet on April 2. He is charged with first-degree murder.

Democrats and their media allies are portraying a deported illegal migrant from El Salvador as a martyr of U.S. migration policy, so helping President Donald Trump’s deputies spotlight the Democrats’ sympathy for criminal illegals.
The deported migrant, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, “shouldn’t have to spend another second away from his family [in Maryland],” Maryland Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen announced on Tuesday evening, adding:
I’m flying to El Salvador tomorrow morning to check on his condition and discuss his return.
“Senator Van Hollen seems to be under the very confused impression that this MS-13 terrorist is his constituent,” responded Stephen Miller,
Can Trump Fix His FUBAR Tariff Rollout?
21 replies
So far, President Donald Trump has been piloting his second term like Maverick from “Top Gun.” With one exception. The tariff rollout has been FUBAR, which is troubling since it’s Trump’s signature economic policy issue.
There have been glaring missteps along the way, repeated pauses, confused and conflicting messaging, turf wars. It’s draining public support and causing real economic problems as businesses can’t make plans while all this is in flux.
We aren’t privy to insider gossip to speculate why this is. But we can say that Trump needs to get his tariff act together, and fast.

The only mistake here was housing him in Colchester, giving a leftist judge a chance to issue a restraining order against his being moved out of state. He should have been immediately sent to Florida or Texas.
