Police Recruit Accused of Having Cocaine

A Chicago Police Department recruit is reportedly accused of having crack cocaine in his pocket during a training exercise.
CWB Chicago said it reviewed an internal report that said the discovery happened on Monday during a narcotics arrest training scenario.
When one recruit reportedly found real crack cocaine while searching another recruit’s pocket, the suspect had an interesting explanation after being confronted about the substance’s presence.
The outlet said a trainer gave the recruit a baggie with blue stars on it that held simulated heroin, then another recruit was instructed to perform a search:
While searching the subject’s cargo pants, the recruit conducting the search found a

Far-left New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was spotted exiting a private jet with her comrade in arms, Sen. Bernie Sanders, after shuttling between stops for a campaign dedicated to denouncing the wealthy.
Video from Fox News shows AOC and Sanders exiting a Bombardier Challenger 604 — despite both railing against flying private planes and the people who own them — a luxury aircraft with a lofty $5 million to $7 million price tag and costing an eye-watering $15,000 per hour to charter.
The duo hopped the swanky ride to attend a series of Sanders’ “Fighting Oligarchy” rallies, which aim to “have real discussions
Critics of JD Vance falsely accused the vice president of committing a faux pas while visiting the Vatican, claiming that Vance’s team did not have permission to take photos in the Sistine Chapel.
But a source familiar with Vance’s travel team told The Daily Wire that the Vatican gave the vice president’s official photographer permission to take pictures in the Chapel, where visitors are typically forbidden to take photos of Michelangelo’s frescoes — including The Creation of Adam” — considered some of the most important pieces of Renaissance art.
Vigilant guards in the Sistine Chapel may take tourists’ phones or cameras and delete photos if an unlucky photographer is caught snapping photos.
Khursheed Ash-Shafii, a councilman for the city of Highland Park, Michigan, refused to resign Tuesday in a public meeting following an incident with the police.
Ash-Shafii was charged with refusing to take a breathalyzer and driving with a suspend license following a car crash on April 7, WXYZ reported.
EMTs at the scene alleged that the councilman’s breath reeked of alcohol and that he exhibited slurred speech, according to a police report obtained by the outlet.
In a separate incident, Ash-Shafii can be heard on body camera footage calling officers “white Nazis” in a contentious exchange on March 10, WXYZ reported.
The internet is full of memes like: “Fruit pickers wanted, $11/hour,” with captions like, “Happy now, MAGA?” And my response is: Yes. Very happy. That $11/hour wage is a direct result of reducing illegal immigration and rebalancing the U.S. labor market in favor of legal workers.
By cutting off the illegal labor pipeline, we’ve created upward pressure on wages at the lower end of the income scale—without needing to legislate a minimum wage hike. Legal employment also increases tax revenue without raising taxes. Workers on the books pay income tax, and both employers and employees contribute to Social Security and Medicare. This strengthens the system for everyone, especially retirees,

The 61-year-old explained that she “basically tricked” herself into not attending the ceremony by making sure she did not “have anything to wear.” Obama recalled, “I was like, if I’m not going to do this thing, I’ve got to tell my team. I don’t even want to have a dress ready, right?”

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is reportedly considering removing the COVID-19 vaccination from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's recommended vaccine schedule for children.
The possible change was reported Tuesday by news outlet Politico, based on sources.

The CDC added the vaccine in 2023 to the schedule, which does not mandate the shot.
States and localities decide which vaccines are required for schools, and all 50 states have medical exemptions for vaccines.
Hunter Biden — former First Son and Biden family bagman — pulled in nearly $5 million from Ukraine energy giant Burisma, just-released court documents reveal, and it is safe to assume that the Big Guy got his 10 percent.

Biden "received a request to release the search warrants and affidavits, which have now been made public." "The documents reveal a trail of money flowing in (even though the media claimed that never happened)." Five million somethings is a lot of somethings

“Absolutely!” Crockett responded.
Former NBC News chief political analyst Chuck Todd argued Wednesday that immigration benefits the United States because it helps the nation perform better in the Olympics.
President Donald Trump’s White House is considering methods to sway Americans to marry and produce more children, including a $5,000 “baby bonus,” The New York Times reported on Monday. Todd, on “The Chuck ToddCast,” said the president is attempting to fix a U.S. demographic issue by encouraging more births instead of embracing immigration — which he claimed plays a crucial role in U.S. Olympic success.

The Department of Education (ED) announced April 21 that it would resume collections of defaulted federal student loans beginning May 5. The ED has not collected on defaulted loans for over five years, pausing collection in March 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Biden administration never resumed recollection. Student debt currently amounts to a staggering $1.6 trillion, according to the ED.
“Fewer than four out of ten borrowers are in repayment,” says White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. “This is unstainable, unfair, and a huge liability for American taxpayers …

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.

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.

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.

Conservative Christians have flooded social media with support for Cardinal Robert Sarah to succeed the late Pope Francis because of his strong traditionalist stands on sexuality and church doctrine as well as his opposition to mass immigration and Islamism.
Why It Matters
The rising profile of the African cardinal, 79, comes at a time of ideological division within Catholicism, as the Church grapples with questions of modernity, sexual identity, and religious pluralism, and also as more right wing political movements in Europe and elsewhere have challenged what they see as the orthodoxy of a liberal global elite.
Unlike Pope Francis—who often leaned into progressive stances on social justice and inclusion—
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.
