Last week, Rep. Brandon Gill questioned former Baltimore law enforcement veteran Major Neill Franklin about the safety of Baltimore City. This was part of the House Judiciary Committee’s investigation into sanctuary jurisdictions. In his line of questioning, the freshman representative asked Franklin outright if Baltimore was a “safe city.” Any person with common sense would have replied to that question with a resounding “No,” but not Franklin—he said “Yes.” The Texas Republican then laid out the crime statistics of Baltimore to Franklin, The homicide rate in Baltimore is about five times the national average. The robbery rate is 8.4 times the national average. The assault rate is 3.4 times the national average.

A Democrat House member called on Wednesday to impeach President Donald Trump over his administration’s handling of a Supreme Court decision from earlier this month ordering the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a man in the United States illegally but who was mistakenly deported to a prison in El Salvador.
“Despite this ruling, the Supreme Court has no enforcement power, meaning the Trump administration can choose to ignore that demand,”
It’s not just Biden family artwork that’s struggling to sell these days.
Former President Joe Biden’s attempt to bill $300,000 per speaking appearance is finding few takers, The Post has learned — as some of his own former aides say it’s time for the 82-year-old to leave the spotlight for good after reminiscing about “colored kids” Tuesday in his first public address since leaving office.
A source familiar with Biden’s faltering speaking career said that the 46th president’s standard pitch is $300,000 — 25% below Barack Obama’s $400,000 asking price upon leaving office in 2017.
It’s unclear how negotiable Biden’s rate is.

The Supreme Court has agreed to examine the Trump administration’s challenge to judges issuing nationwide injunctions, setting a date for a case that could have a major impact on the president’s ability to carry out his agenda as well as on the entire country.
This comes after three federal judges issued separate nationwide injunctions blocking an executive order by President Donald Trump ending birthright citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants.
On Thursday, the court consolidated the three cases into one and set oral arguments to examine
Judicial Watch announced today that it received 52 pages of documents from the U.S. Department of Justice showing White House staffers suggesting edits to transcripts of President Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur regarding his handling of secret documents.
The documents were obtained thanks to a Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Department of Justice for records of communication between the agency and White House regarding the altered transcripts of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s October 2023 interviews of President Biden in the criminal investigation into Biden’s theft and disclosure of classified records (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:24-cv-02176)).

As Democrats criticize tariffs as bad for business, the Trump administration’s Small Business Administration announced an almost 75% surge in loans to small manufacturers, The Daily Signal has learned.
“Loan applications and approvals for small manufacturers are surging—a clear sign that American manufacturing is roaring back, fueled by pro-growth policies that put American workers and businesses first,” said SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler.
The number of SBA 7(a) loan approvals for small manufacturers has increased by 74% compared with the same period during the Biden administration, according to the SBA.
The Department of Justice wants to stand in for President Trump in his ongoing appeal of a defamation case that could cost him tens of millions of dollars.
Lawyers for the taxpayer-funded agency and Mr. Trump's personal attorneys said in a filing on April 11 that the Justice Department believes the federal Westfall Act shields Mr. Trump in the case, which has pitted him against the writer E. Jean Carroll.
A federal jury awarded Carroll $83.3 million in January 2024, after concluding that Mr. Trump made defamatory statements when denying
Most Americans are fully on board with Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) slashing millions of their hard-earned taxpayer dollars from the federal government. Even when we think we have heard the most outrageous expenditure found by the DOGE team, another one comes along. Many have suggested that they look into how members of Congress have become millionaires during their time on Capitol Hill. It's a great idea, but maybe an even better idea would be to ask how those lawmakers spend your tax dollars in their official capacities.

A conservative watchdog is demanding an ethics probe into Sen. Chris Van Hollen for allegedly “assisting a foreign terrorist organization” by going to El Salvador to try to help free an accused MS-13 gangbanger.
The American Accountability Foundation fired off a letter to Senate leaders Thursday underscoring the Trump administration’s accusations about Kilmar Abrego Garcia having ties to the barbaric transnational gang and demanding that the Senate refuse to pay for the trip by Van Hollen (D-Md.).
“Mr. Abrego-Garcia is essentially an enemy combatant in the ongoing invasion of the United States by transnational gangs,” AAF President Thomas Jones wrote to the heads of the Senate Ethics Committee and
Smugglers living along key migration routes thrived off the U.S. border crisis, but are now left with next to no income after illegal migrants have largely given up trying to reach the southern border under the Trump administration’s watch.
Residents living in the Darien Gap — a vast jungle region between Colombia and Panama that serves as a pivotal way station for northbound migrants — took advantage of the endless number of illegal immigrants who trekked across their lands during the Biden-era, according to locals who spoke with the Associated Press. Noticing an opportunity from those that needed to be ferried across water, many residents invested in boats and
Nearly $9 million worth of methamphetamine was found hidden in a shipment of squash from Mexico at a South Texas port of entry, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said.
The drugs weighed more than 1,000 pounds and were found Sunday in 3,770 packages that were concealed in a shipment of chayote, also known as vegetable pear, at the Pharr International Bridge, CBP said Wednesday.
The drugs were in a tractor-trailer coming from Reynosa, Mexico, that was referred for secondary inspection. A canine team and nonintrusive inspection equipment led to the discovery of the illegal drugs, CBP said.

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.

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,

Karmelo Anthony, 17, is holed up with his family at the pricey home inside the gated community of Richwoods in Frisco, Texas, after he was released from jail Monday on a reduced $250,000 bond for allegedly killing Austin Metcalf earlier this month, the Daily Mail reported.

Mother Jones republished an article from fellow progressive outlet The Guardian on Saturday that argued that while dogs may be man's best friend, they're Mother Nature's "villains."
The left-wing magazine highlighted new research, originally published by The Guardian, that concluded dogs have "extensive and multifarious" environmental impacts, disturbing wildlife, polluting waterways and contributing to carbon emissions. It pinpointed how canines are disturbing native wildlife, particularly shore birds.
An Australian review of existing studies published in Pacific Conservation Biology analyzed dog attacks on other animals, finding that it may account for the colony collapse of little penguins in Tasmania, while a study of animals taken to the Australia Zoo wildlife hospital

How insane is 2025? A 17-year-old allegedly murdered a fellow student and managed to parlay that into almost half a million dollars in donations, and what he did with the money will shock and disgust you.
As RedState reported, Karmelo Anthony confessed to stabbing and killing Austin Metcalf after an altercation at an athletic event. According to witnesses, Anthony came into Metcalf's tent and refused to leave when requested. Anthony then "dared" someone to touch him. When Metcalf attempted to escort him out of the tent, he was stabbed to death.

Rosie O’Donnell said she never thought President Donald Trump would win another election, and lamented over her Irish citizenship application having not yet been approved.
“I never thought he would win again,” O’Donnell told the New York Times of President Trump, adding that she told her therapist, “If he does [win], I’m going to move,” recalling that her therapist had replied, “Well, let’s make a real plan.”
Now, O’Donnell may feel herself losing to Trump in another roundabout way, as her Irish citizenship has not yet been officially approved, the comedian told the newspaper, adding that she was worried about admitting that to a reporter, fearing it could impact the process.

David Hogg is exactly what we expect from a citizen touched by unthinkable tragedy. Having survived the 2018 massacre at Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, he immediately dove into constructive political action, first on serious gun reform, and then within Democratic party politics, rising to his present position as DNC vice-chairman. Which makes it difficult to point out that his latest project couldn't be more ill-advised and, worse, incredibly ill-timed. It is a perfect example of something that is in the right place. but at the wrong time. From Politico: Leaders We Deserve, which Hogg co-founded in 2023, announced

When New York Attorney General Letitia James managed to secure a guilty verdict against then-candidate Donald Trump in February of 2024 for allegedly inflating the value of the Trump Organization to secure better terms for loans, she wanted to let everyone know that — despite the fact it was a flimsy case against one of her personal enemies brought in a jurisdiction that would hold the Republican frontrunner guilty for killing Jimmy Hoffa and Julius Caesar — she wasn’t targeting him.
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.

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.

‘Overwhelmed’ with Transgender Asylum
Requests from U.S. 15 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.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) announced on Wednesday that he intended to stop two of President Donald Trump’s nominees for U.S. attorney positions in New York.
The move hinges on the “blue slip” tradition in which home-state senators can effectively block a nominee if they do not support the individual.
“Donald Trump has made clear he has no fidelity to the law and intends to use the Justice Department, the U.S. Attorney offices and law enforcement as weapons to go after his perceived enemies,” Schumer said in a statement.
He added, “Such blatant and depraved political motivations are deeply corrosive to the rule of law and leaves me deeply skeptical
