Barnegat, N.J. — A wildfire exploding in size near the New Jersey shore caused officials to order thousands to evacuate and close a 17-mile stretch of the state’s busiest highway as dark smoke poured into the Jersey Shore region.
The Jones Road Wildfire sparked on Tuesday in the Greenwood Forest Wildlife Management Area near Barnegat Township in Ocean County. As of Tuesday evening, it had consumed 3,200 acres and was only 5% contained.
Some 3,000 people were told to evacuate as the fire so far is threatening over 1,300 homes and structures, according to the New Jersey Forest Fire Service.
Evacuations stretch along portions of Highways 532, 539, 72 and 9

As RedState reported earlier, Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) did an interview on "Meet the Press" Sunday, where he dropped facts on Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) on the issue of whether suspected MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was deported to El Salvador in March, had been afforded due process.
"In my judgment, [Van Hollen] is utterly and gloriously wrong," Kennedy told host Kristen Welker. "I mean, most of this gauzy rhetoric is just rage bait. Unless you’re next-level obtuse, you know that Mr. Garcia is never coming back to the United States ever," he also remarked.
The State Department is slashing “decades of bloat and bureaucracy” with the termination of dozens of agency offices and more, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Tuesday.
“Today is the day. Under @POTUS’ leadership and at my direction, we are reversing decades of bloat and bureaucracy at the State Department. These sweeping changes will empower our talented diplomats to put America and Americans first,” Rubio said, formally releasing a statement.“In its current form, the Department is bloated, bureaucratic, and unable to perform its essential diplomatic mission in this new era of essential diplomatic competition,” Rubio’s formal statement reads in part,
Tuesday, during an appearance on CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” Chevron CEO Mike Wirth downplayed the possibility of a recession.
He did acknowledge, however, that growth was slowing.
“Does that mean you don’t think we’re headed into a recession in your plans at this point?” “Squawk Box” co-host Becky Quick asked.
Wirth replied, “You know, there’s no signs that we see at this point that we’re in or close to a recession. There are signs that growth may be slowing.

Protesters tried desperately to interrupt Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) during his Monday night town hall, but he wasn’t having it.
Political tensions are as high as ever, and videos from CBS News Capitol Hill reporter Taurean Small show just how riled up some protesters became.

“Like I said, if you want to have a disagreement, let’s have a disagreement,” Donalds can be heard telling the woman. “But when you’re gonna stand and yell and disrespect everybody in this room because you think you’re being heard – and let’s be clear, you’re not, let’s be very clear, you’re not.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) sent a simple message on Monday to members of the hyperviolent Venezuelan Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang, saying, “TdA’s time is up.” The message follows the arrest of hundreds of known or suspected members of the Venezuelan gang.
DHS officials posted a video on social media showing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations around the country targeting members of TdA. “TdA’s time is up,” the message makes clear. (X Video)
Last week, a magistrate judge in Dona Ana County, New Mexico, was forced to resign after ICE officers arrested an alleged TdA gang member for illegal possession of firearms, Breitbart Texas reported.
MSNBC host Jen Psaki admitted Tuesday that her cable news network’s liberal-leaning audience only tunes in to watch coverage of President Trump that is “typically not going to be positive.”
Viewers of the embattled network don’t expect to hear favorable news coverage or commentary about the commander in chief, Psaki, the former press secretary for former President Joe Biden, revealed during an appearance on “The Grill Room” podcast.
“There’s obviously a rooted value in the kind of … that MSNBC viewers expect of like we’re going to talk about the opposition, and we’re going to talk about what the opposing party is up to, in terms of the Democrats,

Warning: What I'm about to write may shock you, but I felt our readers needed to know exactly what kind of person Ivanka Trump, daughter of President Donald Trump, truly is. You might want to make sure you're sitting down for this.
Last week, the first daughter took a vacation and spent time with her husband and children and some of her husband's family. Not only did they take a vacation, but they took it in Costa Rica, and they actually enjoyed themselves. They surfed, read books, rode horses, explored the beautiful nature the country has to offer... they even swam next to a waterfall.
Justice Brett Kavanaugh expressed surprise Tuesday that schools in a state founded on religious liberty are now banning parents with religious objections from opting their young children out of LGBTQ storybook lessons.[Snip]Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson worried how far the opt outs could go, questioning how it would apply to a teacher displaying a photo of his gay wedding or student groups putting up “love is love” posters around the school. “What about a trans student in the classroom…must the teacher notify the parents of the student’s existence and give them an opt-out to not be in the same classroom with this child?” she asked.
The U.S. Supreme Court, following its shocking decision to block the Trump administration from deporting terrorist illegal alien gang members more quickly, has just issued another decision favoring illegals.
Today, the court, according to Newsweek, “ruled that immigrants who agree to leave the U.S. voluntarily are entitled to deadline flexibility when the deadline falls on a weekend or holiday.” Because obviously illegal aliens who should never have been here to begin with deserve all the consideration in the world when authorities are kicking them out in line with the law, federal orders, and the will of We the People.

In the wake of Oct. 7, Mahdawi said he could "empathize" with Hamas's decision to launch the attack and used a siren to drown out pro-Israel students protesting for the release of Israeli child hostages.
Mahdawi, who, like fellow Columbia activist Mahmoud Khalil, saw the Trump administration revoke his green card, is at an immigration facility in Vermont as he fights his deportation. Welch released a video of their Monday meeting at the facility, during which he described Mahdawi

On any given day, the Democrat Party is an absolute clown show.
But they've taken it to obscene new levels since President Trump's inauguration, (Snip) Democrat Reps. Robert Garcia (CA), Maxwell Frost (FL), Yassamin Ansari (AZ), and Maxine Dexter (OR) are back from their trip, making a pit stop on CNN where they vowed to continue fighting on behalf of Abrego Garcia. They said this despite the fact that El Salvador's president, Nayib Bukele, has stated he has no intentions of returning him, and despite the fact that the Trump administration has made clear he is not ever coming back to the United States.
President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he has “no intention” of firing Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell before his term leading the U.S. central bank ends next year.
“None whatsoever,” Trump said in the Oval Office when asked to clarify that he did not seek Powell’s removal. “Never did.”
The comment represents a dramatic shift for Trump, who has recently ramped up his rhetoric against Powell and declined to rule out the possibility of taking the unprecedented step of firing him.
U.S. stock futures rose sharply across major indexes following Trump’s latest remarks.
A former FBI analyst who resigned over FBI Director Kash Patel and President Donald Trump announced he was running for Congress on Tuesday.
John Sullivan is challenging New York Republican Rep. Michael Lawler for New York’s 17th Congressional District.

The U.S. Army formalized equal fitness standards between men and women in combat roles in new guidelines released Monday.
The new Army Fitness Test (AFT), formally the Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT), will not have separate standards for men and women in combat Military Occupational Specialties (MOS), according to the Army. The new standards will begin the first stage of implementation on June 1 with a projected completion by January 2026.
However, the general test that includes non-combat roles will retain gender-specific guidelines, according to the Army.
“The change reflects the Army’s continued focus on building a physically ready force capable of meeting operational demands in austere environments,”
The Supreme Court ruled that weekends and holidays cannot be counted when foreign nationals are given deadlines to leave the United States.
In a split 5-4 decision, a majority of justices on the nation’s highest court ruled in favor of Hugo Abisai Monsalvo Velazquez, a Mexican national who had been living unlawfully in the U.S. for years and ordered deported. Velazquez successfully argued that his 60-day notice to leave the country — which ended on a Saturday — should have provided more flexibility for weekends and holidays.

Eight harmful petroleum-based synthetic dyes will soon be phased out of the American food supply, according to plans unveiled Tuesday by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary.
Over the coming months, the FDA will revoke authorization for two synthetic food colorings — Citrus Red No. 2 and Orange B — and collaborate with the food industry to remove six other synthetic dyes.
“For the last 50 years, American children have increasingly been living in a toxic soup of synthetic chemicals,” Makary declared during the announcement at HHS Tuesday.

Interesting series of events converging. According to multiple media outlets, a delegation from the U.S, Europe and Ukraine are scheduled to meet again in London tomorrow for further discussions of the peace proposal.President Trump said Monday they had “very good meetings” about Ukraine and Russia recently as Trump was likely debriefed from the meeting that Secretary Rubio and Envoy Steve Witkoff held in Paris, France with Emmanuel Macron, Ukraine, EU and U.K officials. However, this was the same Paris meeting that preceded Secretary Rubio saying if progress was not made quickly, the USA would exit their role in negotiating a peace deal.

He’s gaming the system.
We hear that Donald and Melania Trump’s son Barron, 19, has a new mode for talking with college pals at NYU.
It was previously reported that the Trump scion, who is constantly followed by Secret Service agents on campus, had been asking peers to talk online via Discord, the chat app for gamers.
We hear that he’s now talking with friends on another gaming platform, Xbox.
“He has added it to his repertoire,” says the source. “It’s his communication platform of choice.”
One of America’s biggest villains received an epic beating on Fox News today when she tried to defend the indefensible and insulted her interviewer.
Randi Weingarten, the President of the American Federation of Teachers, is the chief proponent of trapping everyone in failing public schools and refusing to hold crooked school authority figures accountable.
She was also arguably the loudest advocate for shutting down schools during the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused irreparable harm to the cognitive development of many children across the country.
The Trump administration has received official trade offers from 18 countries, and its trade negotiation team has meetings scheduled with 34 countries this week, the White House announced Tuesday.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt provided an update on trade negotiations during a briefing on Tuesday. (X Video) “There is a lot of progress being made. We now have 18 proposals on paper that have been brought to the trade team,” she detailed. “Again, these are proposals on paper that countries have proposed to the Trump administration and to our government.”
Over 100 countries have expressed interest in making a deal, per the press secretary.
Nancy Mace sure does attract the crazies, and her recent interaction is definitely proof of that.
The South Carolina Congresswoman was at an event on Monday night when she was approached by a transgender person. His voice is high and feminine and was even using flowing movements. He wore a long orange dress and wide-brimmed hat, and appeared to be doing everything he could to appear as feminine as possible.
The person approached Mace after a speech and asked, "does your husband call you babe?" He asked Mace to apologize for using the term, saying it's "derogatory," to which Mace said she would not. Mace then asked her own question.
In one of the best examples of "sleep in the bed you made" moments you'll ever see, Star Wars actor and voice of the Joker, Mark Hamill, decided to promote his new film on Bluesky. The only trouble is that this particular film involves the celebration of Jesus Christ, and Bluesky is a place where you won't find a lot of Jesus fans.
Hamill plays King Herod in the new King of Kings movie, which revolves around the telling of the life of Christ through the words of Charles Dickens. The film is already doing phenomenally in theaters, and was on course to shatter records from its pre-sale tickets alone.
In another major shakeup within the Trump administration, Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced a sweeping reorganization of the State Department, aiming to cut over 700 positions and eliminate 132 of its 734 bureaus—a 15 percent reduction in personnel. This overhaul seeks to refocus the department on core national interests and regional diplomacy, moving away from promoting liberal ideologies. Rubio criticized certain offices for advancing left-wing agendas at taxpayer expense. The restructuring also hints at reducing or closing overseas missions and folding liberal values initiatives into regional bureaus.
The Supreme Court’s double standard suggests it is not prudence dictating the outcome. It is also not the Constitution..... “Both the Executive and the Judiciary have an obligation to follow the law.” Those thirteen words, penned by Justice Samuel Alito on Holy Saturday, represent the first admission by the judiciary that courts too can wrongly flout the law. Justice Alito’s stark acknowledgement concluded his bullet-point evisceration of the Supreme Court’s “unprecedented” command ....
As we reported, four House Democrats went down to El Salvador saying they were going to try to meet with Kilmar Abrego Garcia and they were there for his release: Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA), Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL), Rep. Maxine Dexter (D-OR), and Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-AZ).
But they got rejected from even seeing him because they weren't there on an "official" trip, as Frost revealed. They weren't "official" because House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) said he wasn't going to waste taxpayer money on this excursion.
Dexter also said she was not going to wait; she was there to "release Kilmar Abrego Garcia."

New York — Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told investors Tuesday that the US-China trade war is unsustainable and he expects the battle to de-escalate, a person familiar with the matter confirmed to CNN, giving a boost to a Wall Street rally that had taken shape this morning.
The Dow closed higher by 1,017 points, or 2.66%. The S&P 500 rose 2.51% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq gained 2.71%. The rebound helped recover the market’s losses on Monday, when a major sell-off gripped Wall Street.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) unleashed unprecedented criminal charges against members of the violent Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, invoking a law that is best known for its use against the mafia in the fight against the foreign terror organization.
Attorney General Pam Bondi and Matthew Podolsky, the Acting United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced that it charged a total of 27 current and former Tren de Aragua members under the Racketeering Influence and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) for the first time ever, marking a new development in how the federal government prosecutes the cartels.
The indictment, Bondi says, will decimate the criminal network’s infrastructure.

Rep. Andy Barr, R-Ky., is officially entering the race to replace longtime retiring Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.
Barr, who has served in the House for over a decade, is expected to kick off his campaign in Richmond, Kentucky this evening.
He's also releasing a video to launch the campaign that paints him as a staunch ally of President Donald Trump and a fierce opponent of "woke" trends on diversity, transgender inclusion, and U.S. energy dominance.
"The United States is the greatest country on Earth, and it’s not even close. But here’s the problem. The woke left wants to neuter America – literally," the Kentucky Republican said in the video.
A jury found The New York Times not liable Tuesday after former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin claimed she was defamed by a 2017 editorial falsely tying her to a mass shooting.
The nine-person jury deliberated in Manhattan federal court for two hours before finding that the Grey Lady did not libel the onetime Republican vice presidential candidate.
The Times, which corrected the editorial the day after it ran, had argued that Palin did not show that it met the high bar of “actual malice” needed to find media outlets liable for defamation.
A federal judge on Tuesday found the Trump administration’s efforts to dismantle Voice of America (VOA) and affiliated news services likely were unlawful, indefinitely blocking the shuttering of the government-funded news outlet and affiliated news services.
U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth ordered VOA’s parent agency, the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), to restore VOA and other outlets under the USAGM’s umbrella and barred the agency from preventing them from serving as “consistently reliable and authoritative” news sources, as is required by law.
He also directed the USAGM to restore employment to its workers placed on leave

As per the norm, Democrats continue to embarrass themselves over the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case, with four on the House side traveling this week to El Salvador to plead for the release of the illegal immigrant and suspected MS-13 gang member, only to get shut down by officials in the country on grounds that they weren't visiting in an "official capacity."

The Maryland senator put a wedge between Trump and Salvadoran dictator Bukele and showed Democrats how to find their spines.On Sunday, Senator Chris Van Hollen conquered all five morning talk shows. He was by far the most coveted guest after his return from El Salvador, where he stood down the country’s despot and secured a meeting with the illegally deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Van Hollen delivered love from Abrego Garcia’s family and his growing legion of advocates and proved that the 29-year-old father is alive and safe—at least for now.
The Trump administration announced Tuesday that it would seize wages and go after the pensions of those who refuse to repay federal student loans they defaulted on.
“The government can and will collect default in federal student loan debt by withholding money from borrowers, tax refunds, federal pensions and even their wages,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters in her weekly briefing.
The Education Department had announced a day earlier it would be pursuing wages and tax refunds, but did not specifically state federal pensions would also be included.
For more than a century, the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) stood as a pillar of moral clarity, leadership, and responsibility. It was an organization that trained boys to become men of character — young men who would go on to serve their families, churches, and communities with conviction and courage.
That legacy is now at risk.
Top advisers to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and other military officials recently urged the Department of Defense to cut ties with Scouting America, saying the organization has “gone too woke” and they had “lost what they stand for.”

Of course, the phrase “could result” must temper conservatives’ expectations.
In fact, on Monday The Guardian profiled Sarah as one of nine possible candidates to succeed Francis.

The National Security Council categorically rejected claims surfaced in a news report that a senior staffer previously worked for the Israeli government before subsequent calls from anti-Semitic groups, like the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), emerged for that staffer’s dismissal.
Merav Ceren, now helping to steer White House policy for Israel and Iran, is a "patriotic American," Brian Hughes, a deputy national security adviser, said in a statement provided to the Washington Free Beacon. He was responding to assertions first leveled by Ryan Grim and Saagar Enjeti on the Substack site, Drop Site News, that Ceren had "formerly worked for the Israeli Ministry of Defense." She had not, Hughes said.
The Trump administration has begun an aggressive shake-up at the State Department that will close 132 agency offices, including those launched to further human rights, advance democracy overseas, counter extremism, and prevent war crimes.
The plans to reorganize the leading foreign policy agency in the United States are outlined in internal documents obtained by The Free Press. They show how the State Department will eliminate or restructure hundreds of offices in Washington, D.C.—a revelation that comes after reports in recent weeks of a rumored overhaul at the agency. The State Department is bringing its number of offices down from 734 to 602, a 17 percent reduction.
Longtime “60 Minutes” executive producer Bill Owens abruptly quit on Tuesday, citing a loss of journalistic independence as CBS’ parent company Paramount Global looks to settle a lawsuit from President Trump.

Two German teenagers who traveled to the United States were arrested and denied entry after US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) deemed their trip “suspicious.”
Several outlets reported that Charlotte Pohl, 19, and Maria Lepere, 18, arrived in Honolulu, Hawaii, on March 18 and planned to travel the islands before heading to California.
However, the teens’ journey was abruptly derailed when Border Protection realized that the girls did not book their accommodations for the duration of their visit in Hawaii.
“They found it suspicious that we hadn’t fully booked our accommodations for the entire five weeks in Hawaii,” Pohl told Ostsee Zeitung, a German outlet.

The New York Times began the week with a hysterical story, “E.P.A. Set to Cancel Grants Aimed at Protecting Children From Toxic Chemicals.”
Children protected. Not old people. The story did not say what the age limit is, which is just as well because the grants were just aimed at protecting them, not necessarily protecting them. Think of it as a covid vaccine for toxic chemicals.
The story said, “The grants are designed to address a range of issues, including improving the health of children in rural America who have been exposed to pesticides from agriculture and other pollution; reducing exposure to wildfire smoke; and preventing forever chemicals from contaminating
Former The View co-host, actor, and the celebrity face of self-deportation Rosie O’Donnell told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer the election of Donald Trump forced her and her “non-winery child to leave” America for Ireland.
“I have no regrets, not a day has gone by that I thought it was the wrong decision. I was welcomed with open arms. I knew after reading Project 2025 that if Trump got in, it was time for me and my non-binary child to leave the country,” the A League of Their Own star said Tuesday.
“It’s been heartbreaking, I have to tell you,” O’Donnell continued before launching into a diatribe.
The Marxist leaders of Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, and Colombia all offered statements honoring the legacy of the late Pope Francis on Monday, embracing him as a friend to their cause.
The most vocal praise came from Cuba, where dictator Raúl Castro – who once joked he would return to the Catholic Church if Pope Francis “kept it up” – called him a “dear friend” and credited him with making the Church more palatable to the Communist Party leadership. Figurehead President Miguel Díaz-Canel similarly lauded Pope Francis as “unforgettable” and credited him with making Cuba a priority in his service as head of the church.
Megyn Kelly criticized Pope Francis over his stance on immigration just hours after the Vatican announced the pontiff’s death on Monday.
Kelly, the former Fox News host and a practicing Catholic, unleashed a sharp critique of the pope’s leadership and political stance, particularly on immigration.
Francis, 88, died early Monday from a cerebral stroke and heart failure.
By the afternoon, Kelly had released a new episode of her SiriusXM podcast “The Megyn Kelly Show” where she accused the pope of moving the Catholic Church “in a leftward direction.”
Kelly criticized the church’s efforts to assist undocumented immigrants, suggesting those efforts left American citizens to “deal” with the consequences.

American troops now have the authority to detain and search immigrants lacking certain documentation in New Mexico, a role service members have not held before at the southern border, U.S. Northern Command (Northcom) said Monday.
Northcom said troops “have been delegated the authority” to conduct security support operations in the New Mexico National Defense Area, a zone that runs along the U.S.-Mexico border now considered part of the Army’s Fort Huachuca in Arizona.
The authorization means service members can now temporarily detain and search trespassers, provide medical assistance and implement crowd control on the military-controlled land until appropriate law enforcement can take custody of an individual,

The State Department has pulled the plug on its domestic censorship machine. Secretary of State Marco Rubio last week handed pink slips to the 50 full-time staff who were part of a shady subagency known as the Global Engagement Center. It’s a welcome move.

Like every other government program, the center started with a reasonable mission: combating the messaging of radical Islamic terrorists overseas to prevent them from radicalizing youths. After a few years, the center’s capabilities were hijacked by activists who turned the focus inward

FBI Director Kash Patel was quietly replaced as acting director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives more than a month earlier than was made publicly known, according to internal Trump administration discussions.
It was announced by the ATF on April 9, according to Reuters and other outlets, that Patel had been replaced as acting ATF director by Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll, and that Patel would remain FBI chief, while Driscoll would continue leading the Army on a full-time basis and would start leading the ATF on a temporary basis.

Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford, a Democrat running for governor in the key swing state, recently attended the National Action Network’s convention and urged the audience to "stay woke" while defending businesses who push DEI.
Ford, who stood up and cheered when New York’s Democratic Attorney General Letitia James walked into the room at Al Sharpton’s event before embracing her, touted the "affirmative action scholarship" that he received to attend Texas A&M University while speaking at the convention earlier this month.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced its plan to rework the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program, an online database used by law enforcement to identify the noncitizen status of individuals in the U.S.
DHS shared exclusive details with Fox News Digital Tuesday, which include eliminating fees for database searches, streamlining mass immigration status checks, integrating criminal records, and creating a "user-friendly interface" to "prevent non-citizens from exploiting taxpayer benefits of voting illegally."
The SAVE program, established in 1987, allows local law enforcement officials and various government agencies to input biographic info as well as noncitizen documentation such as I-94 number, SEVIS ID, or Alien number, to pull up immigration

Do we really need context here? I don’t know where this establishment is located, but it’s not necessary: What happens in this clip can happen to any person donning a Make America Great Again hat. How this anti-Trump clown reacted to said hat is universal among the Left. Imagine sitting with your wife or significant other and some foaming idiot comes over and says you should be ashamed, and then attacks your significant other for not seeing the evil behind the MAGA hat or something.

Pope Francis, the first leader of the Roman Catholic Church to come from Latin America, and the first to come from the Western Hemisphere, has died.
Pope Francis I—born Jorge Mario Bergoglio, and formerly the cardinal archbishop of Buenos Aires, Argentina—died on April 21 at 7:35 a.m. after suffering a stroke, falling into a coma, and suffering irreversible heart failure. He was 88 years old.
Hours before he died, the pope emerged on Easter Sunday to bless the thousands of people in St. Peter’s Square in Vatican City.
Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) announced her campaign in the Michigan Senate race in the 2026 midterm elections.
Stevens joins an already crowded Democratic field with state Sen. Mallory McMorrow and former Wayne County health director Abdul El-Sayed also launching bids to replace retiring Democratic Sen. Gary Peters.
In her announcement video, Stevens highlighted the state’s auto industry while focusing on President Donald Trump. She promoted her time working in former President Barack Obama’s administration to bail out the auto industry, showing a clip of Obama portraying her as a “critical part of my team that helped the American auto industry come roaring back.”
The GOP-led House Judiciary Committee is pressing Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis‘s staff for documents after she has spent months stonewalling a congressional investigation into the “politically motivated” prosecutions of President Donald Trump.
In a series of letters sent last week, the panel reportedly asked several of the Democratic district attorney’s senior staffers to provide testimony and hand over records related to her office’s alleged coordination with the since-defunct House select Jan. 6 committee.
The allegations revolve around a memo Willis wrote to the Jan. 6 committee’s then-chairman, Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), in which she requested access to transcripts, emails, and travel records. Members of her administration

A CNN segment this week might have just pulled the rug out from under CNN's own Kaitlan Collins as the network finally gets around to reporting the truth about Joe Biden. A new report on the latest Biden tell-all book is simply devastating when seen alongside a resurfaced clip of Collins last June, lying to her audience about Biden's condition. "President Biden has spent days locked in intense preparation, surrounded by his closest advisors at Camp David," Collins said at the time.

“Transgender” influencer and activist Dylan Mulvaney recently revealed that he plans on leaving the United States for good.
In a video posted on TikTok, Mulvaney revealed that he’s trying to move to the United Kingdom. “I’m trying to move here permanent [sic],” the 28-year-old told Pink News, which is a British LGBTQ+ news website. Currently, Mulvaney is starring in a production that will be presented in London called "We Aren't Kids Anymore."

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said Monday the city faces an $800 million deficit, plans plans to lay off 1,647 staff, is seeking a state bailout and has “identified new revenue.”
Bass blamed the Trump administration and the economy for falling revenue.
“Cities like ours are going through challenging economic times across the nation,” said Bass. “Turmoil and uncertainty from Washington and a slowing economy are causing lower revenue projections.”
With 61,455 employees, 1,647 layoffs equate to a workforce reduction of 2.7%. With just over $8.3 billion paid out in payroll last year, the city pays its employees an average of $135,355 per year, or more than

I reported yesterday on the NPR story claiming the White House had begun the process of looking for a new Secretary of Defense. The story appeared to be based on one source, whom they described as a "U.S. official who was not authorized to speak publicly." However, both White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt and President Donald Trump himself shot it down. Even the Rapid Response X account shot it down.
I wrote about Trump's remarks at the Easter Egg Roll, where he ripped it to shreds, saying Hegseth was doing a great job and even bringing recruitment up.
In an attempt to get a lower mortgage rate on a vacation home in Long Boat Key, Florida, one controversial elected prosecutor in a major U.S. city drafted a letter to United Wholesale Mortgage.

President Donald Trump has extended his endorsement to U.S. Representative Andy Biggs in the upcoming Arizona gubernatorial race.
This endorsement comes just months after Trump initially backed Karrin Taylor Robson.
It can be recalled that President Trump raised eyebrows during his Turning Point AmFest speech in Phoenix, Arizona last December, when he pledged to support RINO Karrin Taylor Robson for Arizona Governor in 2026.
Robson formerly ran in the 2022 Arizona gubernatorial primary, endorsed by turncoat RINO Mike Pence and

I am chagrinned that it has taken me this long to understand the emptiness of Democrat dogma. I started realizing this some years ago when I began building a curriculum for the college logic class I was going to teach; I was searching for debates that were won by left-leaning apologists, thinking I should present examples from both sides of the social/economic/religious worldviews. But I began to suspect that such examples weren’t to be found. I found people -- mostly men -- who could slide around from one logical fallacy to another with slippery skill, but none did any convincing.

Republican Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa sent a letter Monday highlighting more cases of bureaucrats at the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) abusing a program that allows them to do work for unions on the taxpayer’s dime.
Ernst detailed how bureaucrats claimed they were carrying out union activities while taking vacations or serving time in jail, while also revealing new details on one case involving a bureaucrat who used so-called “taxpayer-funded union time” (TFUT) to launch a small business in Florida while purportedly working in the Washington, D.C., area, in a letter to HUD Secretary Scott Turner.
At 94 years old, leftist billionaire George Soros has established the blueprint for how his enormous Open Society Foundations, fueled with $32 billion of his fortune, will continue fulfilling his dark vision throughout the world under the leadership of his more extreme son Alex. Part of that vision involves using the ever-evolving specter of climate change as a springboard to impel the world towards a New World Order. The utopia that the elder Soros envisions is one that has banned fossil fuels, with everyday human existence regulated into oblivion. The COVID pandemic in 2020 provided

Walgreens has agreed to pay up to $350 million as part of a settlement with the U.S. Justice Department to resolve claims that the company illegally filled millions of invalid prescriptions for opioids and other controlled substances and asked for payment for many of those invalid prescriptions by Medicare and other federal healthcare programs.
The DOJ said a $300 million settlement is based on Walgreens' ability to pay and an additional $50 million will be owed if the company is sold, merged or transferred before fiscal year 2032.
"Pharmacies have a legal responsibility to prescribe controlled substances in a safe and professional manner, not dispense dangerous drugs just for profit,"
Reports had been coming in for decades. Christians were being kidnapped and tortured to death by Muslim Turks. Christian women were being raped. Christian children were being sold into slavery or pressed into military service to take up arms against European civilization. Christian holy sites were desecrated, and the Christian pilgrims who were allowed to pass through occupied territory en route to these sites were forced to pay additional taxes and levies because of their faith.
To top it off, the brutal Muslim expansion into Christian Byzantium (modern-day Turkey) continued unabated. Orthodox Christians had repeatedly requested assistance from their Western European brethren to help ward off this assault on
The center-left in the United States is no longer a viable political force. Once among the largest segments in the political spectrum, it meekly surrendered to and has been essentially absorbed by the American Marxists. This was a realignment almost entirely due to the breathtaking level of gullibility and ignorance of ostensibly well-educated self-described liberals.
Over the years, this naïveté and obliviousness have been a source of amusement and head-shaking incredulity. However, these traits have now become so dominant among an ever-growing segment within American society that the future of this nation as a prosperous and freedom-loving country is in serious jeopardy.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), then led by former Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas under the Biden administration, reportedly declined to “respond to the scene” in late 2022, when law enforcement stopped a vehicle driven by Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Salvadoran national deported last month by the Trump administration.
The Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) told The Tennessee Star last week that officers with the agency detained Abrego Garcia for nearly two hours. During that time, he presented an expired, Maryland driver’s license that permits illegal immigrants to drive within the state, and was discovered to be transporting eight passengers.
President Trump’s education boss Linda McMahon has defended the administration’s decision to resume student loan debt collections — insisting that greedy colleges have “profited massively” from Biden-era forgiveness measures.
The Department of Education announced Monday it would start recouping federal student repayments again from May 5 from the roughly 5.3 million borrowers who are currently in default on their loans.
In a fiery Wall Street Journal op-ed addressing the move, the education secretary blamed the Biden administration and universities for making “empty promises to students while pocketing their loan dollars.”
“Colleges and universities call themselves nonprofits, but for years they have profited massively off
The Trump administration has been mulling ways to get more Americans married and having kids — including a $5,000 “baby bonus” for every new mom after delivery, according to a report.
White House officials have recently been brainstorming plans to tackle the declining birth and marriage rates — and push more Americans toward the traditional family values of Trump and his allies.
Policy experts and advocates for boosting the birth rate have been meeting with White House aides to come up with plans to convince more women to have babies, four people who have been part of the meetings told the New York Times.
President Donald Trump has successfully stopped the inflow of economic migrants via the southern border, so he should invite more economic migrants via the nation’s airports, says the Wall Street Journal.
The political “question is whether Mr. Trump can use the political capital from his border victory to achieve a more lasting immigration success,” the newspaper’s pro-migration editors declared. According to WSJ-owner Rupert Murdoch’s editors, Trump’s “opportunity” for “immigration success” should:

Swiss pharmaceutical giant Roche announced Tuesday it will invest upwards of $50 billion in the United States over the next five years, a move that follows in the wake of President Donald Trump’s announcement of proposed tariffs on imported drugs.
The U.S. is a critical market for the pharmaceutical industry, representing more than half of the revenue of Roche’s pharmaceutical division, AFP reports.
Its Swiss competitor Novartis announced earlier this month it plans to invest $23 billion in the U.S. over five years.
As part of this investment, Basel-based Roche will increase its existing footprint of more than 25,000 employees in 24 sites across eight U.S. states.

Ashley Biden's charity has a $500,000 discrepancy in its books, a watchdog alleged in a complaint filed with the IRS on Monday.
During the height of her father’s presidency in 2023, Ashley Biden launched a walk-in trauma recovery center in Philadelphia equipped with infrared saunas to help women overcome mental health challenges. Known as the Women’s Wellness Spa(ce), the former first daughter’s charity supposedly got off the ground with at least $500,000 in seed funding in 2023. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Archewell Foundation and the Silicon Valley Community Foundation each reported in their tax forms granting $250,000 to Ashley Biden’s charitable venture in 2023,
With their party dragging itself through an existential struggle, Democrats, with of course help from the media, have made the president’s illegal immigrant deportations their raison de etre. They’ve turned to tantrum-laced political theater and seasoned it with a mountain of hypocrisy.
This year’s George Floyd (or Michael Brown) for the Democrats is Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the El Salvadoran and alleged MS-13 gang member who was sent back to his home country. His case, says the Associated Press, is for Democrats “about fundamental American ideals — due process, following court orders, preventing government overreach.”

Hundreds of sharp nails were found mysteriously embedded point-up in a Cape Cod town’s roadways — and police have no idea who’s behind the dangerous stunt.
At least 478 nails were recovered spread across four Falmouth roads early Friday morning, according to the Falmouth Police Department.
Photos shared by the department showed dozens of nails with their heads pressed deliberately into tar patches across the roads and points poised skyward — ready to impale the tires of cars passing by.
The spikes were found around 2 a.m. by an officer on patrol, who found even more littered across nearby sidewalks and spread up driveways —

to Codify Allowing Trans Athletes in Girls’ Sports replies
Maine Democrats want to amend the state constitution to permanently allow transgender-identifying males to compete in female sports.
Maine’s Democrat House Majority voted on Thursday to pass a bill that would codify the Maine Human Rights Act (MHRA) in the state’s constitution. The proposed bill, LD 260, passed with a slim majority and will ultimately need two-thirds majority in both chambers before it can go before voters, Fox News reported. State officials have cited the MHRA in their ongoing dispute with the Trump administration over its allowance of males in female sports and spaces. MHRA is the state’s anti-discrimination law, and lawmakers added “gender identity” protections in 2021.
Democrats attempted to own the Trump administration by criticizing it for using real eggs for Monday’s White House Easter Egg Roll, claiming that Americans instead dyed potatoes due to the prices.
“Trump’s White House is using 30,000 real eggs worth over $15,500 for their Easter Egg Roll,” the Democrats’ official account — which boasts 2.3 million followers — said on X on the day of the annual tradition. “Meanwhile, Americans dyed potatoes instead of eggs this Easter to save money,” they bizarrely claimed.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) struggled to justify her defense of former President Joe Biden’s mental acuity when grilled over it during a recent podcast interview.
“Do you regret saying that President Biden had a mental acuity, he had a sharpness to him?” Sam Fragoso, host of “Talk Easy,” asked the Massachusetts Democrat in an interview posted on Sunday.
“You said that up until July of last year,” Fragoso added, noting that Warren had backed Biden up until he bowed out of the 2024 presidential race.
“I said what I believe to be true,” Warren responded.
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) has sunk to a new low, vowing political retribution against foreign leaders who dare to work with President Donald Trump in a stunning display of political pettiness and desperation. Rather than putting America first, Raskin is threatening allies and partners simply for engaging with the president and his administration, underscoring just how far the left is willing to go to cling to power and punish anyone who doesn’t fall in line with their agenda.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries appeared on ABC News over the weekend and openly defied the recently announced strategy of DNC vice chair David Hogg, who is planning to primary members of his own party.
This is the second time in a week that Hogg has been called out by a high level Democrat. Dem strategist James Carville called David Hogg ‘a contemptible little twerp’ during a recent appearance on NewsNation.
The DNC made a huge mistake in appointing Hogg as vice chair. He is an activist. He has zero experience in getting people elected to office.
Former Fox News contributor, author, entrepreneur, and pundit Steve Hilton has thrown his hat into the ring and announced Monday that he will run as a Republican for California governor in ’26. He released a moving video on X describing his political journey, his past positions at the top levels of the British government, his move to California in 2012, and the immense pride he felt when he became a United States citizen. I’ve seen Hilton speak, and he’s a passionate warrior and patriot who cares deeply about the Golden State and its horrendous decline under one-party rule.

Bacon latched onto the latest batch of establishment media attacks alleging Hegseth shared classified information in a Signal chat.
Banks attacked Bacon for using the reports as a pretense to attack the Trump agenda, which Hegseth is carrying out at the Department of Defense, pointing out Bacon has often cast votes to kill Trump’s America First agenda in the past.
