Early Tuesday morning the Singaporean-Flagged Cargo Ship crashed into the supports and took down the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland.
The M/V Dali can be seen suffering a Total Loss of Power at least Twice before the Crash.
But there’s more to the story.
DC Draino reported on a CISA Conference in February 2024 (just last month) where the US government confirmed that China compromised US infrastructure via cyber attacks – including transportation.
DC Draino: Feb 2024: The US Gov’t confirmed China compromised US-Infrastructure via cyber attacks…to include *TRANSPORTATION*
CISA and its U.S. Government partners have confirmed that this group of PRC state-sponsored cyber actors has compromised entities across multiple critical infrastructure sectors in cyberspace, including communications, energy, *TRANSPORTATION*, and water and wastewater, in the United States and its territories.
The data and information CISA and its U.S. Government partners have gathered strongly suggest the PRC is positioning itself to launch destructive cyber-attacks that would jeopardize the physical safety of Americans and impede military readiness in the event of a major crisis or conflict with the United States.

The report was published on February 7, 2024.
Advisory provides details on the PRC’s efforts to conceal its hacking activity, discovery and mitigation guidance to potential victims, and encourage reporting of any suspected incident
WASHINGTON – The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), National Security Agency (NSA), and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), along with key U.S. and international government agencies published a Joint Cybersecurity Advisory today on malicious activity by a People’s Republic of China (PRC) state-sponsored cyber actor, known as Volt Typhoon, to compromise critical infrastructure and associated actions that should be urgently undertaken by all organizations.
CISA and its U.S. Government partners have confirmed that this group of PRC state-sponsored cyber actors has compromised entities across multiple critical infrastructure sectors in cyberspace, including communications, energy, transportation, and water and wastewater, in the United States and its territories. The data and information CISA and its U.S. Government partners have gathered strongly suggest the PRC is positioning itself to launch destructive cyber-attacks that would jeopardize the physical safety of Americans and impede military readiness in the event of a major crisis or conflict with the United States.
In addition to the joint Cybersecurity Advisory, CISA and our partners also released complementary Joint Guidance to help all organizations effectively hunt for and detect the sophisticated types of techniques used by actors such as Volt Typhoon, known as “living off the land.” In recent years, the U.S. has seen a strategic shift in PRC cyber threat activity from a focus on espionage to pre-positioning for possible disruptive cyber-attacks against U.S. critical infrastructure. By using “living off the land” techniques, PRC cyber actors blend in with normal system and network activities, avoid identification by network defenses, and limit the amount of activity that is captured in common logging configurations.
Detecting and mitigating “living off the land” malicious cyber activity requires a multi-faceted and comprehensive approach to discern legitimate behavior from malicious behavior and conduct behavior analytics, anomaly detection, and proactive hunting. This advisory and complementary guidance provide organizations with details on how Volt Typhoon cyber threat actors use “living off the land” techniques to abuse legitimate, native tools and processes on systems, and identifies specific details on the actors’ tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) using certain adversarial behavior patterns.
“The PRC cyber threat is not theoretical: leveraging information from our government and industry partners, CISA teams have found and eradicated Volt Typhoon intrusions into critical infrastructure across multiple sectors. And what we’ve found to date is likely the tip of the iceberg,” said CISA Director Jen Easterly. “Today’s joint advisory and guide are the result of effective, persistent operational collaboration with our industry, federal, and international partners and reflect our continued commitment to providing timely, actionable guidance to all of our stakeholders. We are at a critical juncture for our national security. We strongly encourage all critical infrastructure organizations to review and implement the actions in these advisories and report any suspected Volt Typhoon or living off the land activity to CISA or FBI.”
Today’s joint advisory is based primarily on technical insights gleaned from CISA and industry response activities at victim organizations within the United States, primarily in communications, energy, transportation, and water and wastewater sectors. Our complementary joint guide is derived from those insights as well as previously published products, red team assessments, and industry partners.
The new advisory and guide have been jointly issued by CISA, National Security Agency (NSA), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Department of Energy (DOE), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Transportation Security Administration (TSA), Australian Signals Directorate’s (ASD’s) Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC), Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (CCCS), a part of the Communications Security Establishment (CSE), United Kingdom National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC-UK), and New Zealand National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC-NZ).

This national cyber security warning was sent out just last month!
And yet these same government officials believe the Francis Scott Key Bridge incident was not an attack?
Seems a bit questionable.

Poyipics is the oldest photojournalism competition in the world. Their Pictures of the Year International award began as a photographic contest in 1944 by Cliff Edom at the Missouri School of Journalism in Columbia, Missouri.
This year Poyipics awarded the winner to The Associated Press in the category “Team Picture Story of the Year” for their article “War between Israel and Hamas” in which they do not even mention the name of Shani Louk, nor even not that she was raped and massacred by Hamas terrorists in front of a delirious crowd. Worse, they justify this photo by the Israeli response. How can they reward the barbarity of the filthy beast. This world is sickening.
This is from their webpage.
The AP wins this year’s Team Picture Story of the Year.
The photo is of the slaughtered and mangled body of Jewish German-Israeli girl Shani Louk.
Shani Louk attended the all-night Nova dance party in southern Israel on October 6-7, 2023.
Hamas terrorists targeted the dance festival and slaughtered 370 children and young adults in the attack. Hamas then took hundreds of Jews hostage into Gaza.
Shani Louk’s body was taken by truck back to Gaza where the people cheered and spit on her corpse.
We only have this image because Hamas photojournalists were working for the AP, Reuters, New York Times, and others.
Kill a Jewish girl – Win an international award!
The photo is also currently posted on the Poyipics page on Instagram.
The Gazans later beheaded Shani.
The AP photo was taken by Hamas sympathizer Ali Mahmoud who was riding with the Hamas terrorists that day sending photos to major Western media outlets like this one posted at the AP.

Last week US Attorney from DC Matthew Graves fired a warning shot to the US Supreme Court – and J6ers serving time for 18 USC §1512(c)(2), the ‘obstruction’ statute pending before SCOTUS.
Graves threatened to seek more prison time for the J6ers if the Supreme Court reverses the obstruction statute this summer.
The high court announced it will hear oral arguments in Fischer v. United States and at issue is statute 18 USC §1512(c)(2):
Whoever corruptly—
(1) alters, destroys, mutilates, or conceals a record, document, or other object, or attempts to do so, with the intent to impair the object’s integrity or availability for use in an official proceeding; or
(2) otherwise obstructs, influences, or impedes any official proceeding, or attempts to do so, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.
The Supreme Court is expected to issue a decision on Fischer v United States this summer which means hundreds of J6 cases could be upended.
Biden’s corrupt DOJ has charged more than 300 J6ers with 18 USC §1512(c)(2). Additionally, two of the four charges against Trump in Jack Smith’s DC case are conspiracy to obstruct so the Supreme Court’s ruling could torpedo the special counsel’s case against Trump as well.
If the Supreme Court reverses the statute and jailed J6ers ask for release, the DOJ will respond with a request for consecutive sentences and enhancements.
Now this…
Matthew Graves is fighting to keep J6ers charged with the ‘obstruction’ statute jailed pending the SCOTUS decision because it’s an election year.
“The Court would be releasing defendant into the same political maelstrom that led him to commit his crime in the first place,” Graves said about J6 defendant Kevin Seefried after a judge ordered him released in May.
Add this to the "political hostage/prisoner" files.

Judge Trevor McFadden, a Trump appointee, ordered Kevin Seefried released in May after serving 12 months of his 36 month sentence.
McFadden called out the Biden DOJ’s political approach to keeping the J6ers in jail because it’s an election year.
“Ultimately, none of the Government’s arguments involve any facts specific to Seefried. Instead, they are purely class-based. People who have already gone to prison, as a class, cannot be released. January 6th defendants, as a class, cannot be released during an election year,” McFadden wrote.
McFadden continued, “In the end, if specific facts about Seefried lead the Government to believe that he is imminently likely to engage in criminal conduct, options remain open to the Government. But without those facts, the Court cannot deprive a citizen of his liberty based on guesswork alone.”

Paula Gilligan, a Glen Rock councilwoman, had posted the rainbow meme to her Instagram to mock Christian pro-life beliefs.
By Sunday, Gilligan had issued a statement about the meme on the municipal website — but did not apologize.
“It has come to my attention that there are constituents in Glen Rock that have concerns with a meme on my personal Instagram story,” Gilligan wrote. “The meme takes aim at the absurdity of ‘personhood’ laws.”
Gilligan continued, “Currently 40 bills with personhood language have been proposed in 16 states. Personhood language refers to legal language that would codify the dangerous notion that from the moment of fertilization, an egg should be legally recognized as a person with full constitutional rights.”
“This legislation supports an extremist political position that I disagree with. It is my personal opinion that people have the right to control their bodies and their lives,” the politician continued.
The statement concluded with a non-apology: “My personal Instagram does not constitute the official views, opinions or beliefs of the Mayor and Council of the Borough of Glen Rock. To those who feel it mocks your holiday traditions, that was not my intention. Wishing all who celebrate a peaceful, joyous holiday.”
The entire Borough Council issued a statement with an actual apology.
“We have been made aware of a post that appeared on one of our Council Member’s personal Instagram stories. This post invoked Easter, the holiest day of the year in the Christian calendar, in a point about two issues that have nothing to do with Easter. As Mayor and members of the Borough Council, we want to apologize to everyone who was offended by this post.”
The statement continued, “We all feel very strongly that everyone’s religious beliefs and traditions must be treated with respect. They should not be the subject of jokes or inflammatory social media posts. That is even more true when the social media post is made by an elected official, because we are here to represent and support all Glen Rockers of all religious beliefs and backgrounds. We understand how important Easter and the symbols of Easter are to the many Glen Rockers who celebrate.”
“As we have stated on many occasions before, we believe strongly that Glen Rock should be an inclusive community that celebrates and honors everyone’s religious beliefs and traditions. This includes Christianity as well as all of the other religions represented in town. We call on all Glen Rockers to support and respect each other, and as your elected officials, we continue to strive to be examples of that support and respect.”
The entire council, including Gilligan, signed the statement.

Jon Stewart recently went after Trump on the Daily Show, claiming that Trump overvaluing his property, as the Letitia James case claims, was not a victimless crime. In truth it wasn’t a crime at all, it’s standard operating procedure in real estate deals.
But it turns out that Jon Stewart did the exact same thing with his New York City apartment.
Are leftists capable of anything other than projection?
The New York Post reports:
Jon Stewart benefited by 829% ‘overvalue’ of his NYC home even as he labels Trump’s civil case ‘not victimless’
Comedian Jon Stewart ranted this week that Donald Trump’s civil real-estate case overvaluing his properties was “not victimless,” yet when it came to his own home, Stewart benefited from a similar inflation…
But it didn’t take long for internet sleuths to look into Stewart’s own property history, which shows his New York City penthouse sold for 829% more than its assessed value, records confirmed by The Post reveal.
In 2014, Stewart sold his 6,280-square-foot Tribeca duplex to financier Parag Pande for $17.5 million. The property’s asking price at that time is not available in listing records.
But according to 2013-2014 assessor records obtained by The Post, the property had the estimated market-value at only $1.882 million. The actual assessor valuation was even lower, at $847,174.
Records also show that Stewart paid significantly lower property taxes, which were calculated based on that assessor valuation price — precisely what he called Trump out for doing in his Monday monologue.
Anyone surprised?

Democrat strategist Paul Begala compared third party candidates to cockroaches during a recent appearance on CNN. Isn’t it great when liberals make it clear what kind of people they really are?
One other reason why this segment is important is because it shows how absolutely terrified Democrats are about third party candidates taking votes away from Biden.
As Begala notes, it doesn’t take much for a third party candidate to completely change the outcome of an election.
FOX News reports:
Third parties are like ‘cockroaches in the kitchen,’ former Clinton adviser says: ‘Foul it up’ for Biden
Paul Begala, a former adviser to Bill Clinton, compared third-parties to cockroaches on Monday and said Robert F. Kennedy Jr would throw “the whole election to Donald Trump,” which he said was a very real threat.
While discussing the Biden campaign and DNC effort to “diminish” RFK Jr.’s third-party effort, Begala, a CNN political commentator, suggested Kennedy could throw the election to Trump and compared third-parties to cockroaches.
“Third parties elected Donald Trump in 2016, about six to seven percent of Americans voted third-party. That third-party vote dropped to less than two, which is how Biden won. So, anything over two, Democrats are in trouble. Kennedy alone is getting 15 in some of these places. So yeah, my view is third parties, they’re like cockroaches in the kitchen, okay?”
He added, “It’s not what they carry off that upsets you. It’s what they fall into and foul up. Bobby Kennedy can fall into every swing state and foul it up for Joe Biden and throw the whole election to Donald Trump. So, I’m very happy as a Democrat that the Democrats are on this because it’s a very real threat,” Begala said.
Here’s the clip:

As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) Chair Jennifer Homendy announced the voyage data recorder known as the “black box’ was recovered from the DALI cargo ship that crashed into the Francis Scott Key bridge early Tuesday morning.
On Tuesday evening, Homendy and NTSB investigator Marcel Muise held a press conference to reveal the data on the DALI’s black box, also known as the Voyage Data Recorder (VDR).
NTSB investigator Marcel Muise revealed there were about six hours of VDR on data and included a timeline of midnight to 6 am.
Before revealing the data on the VDR, Muise warned that the quality of the voice recording and radio data was hard to comprehend due to background noise.
Muise then shared that the “VDR sensor data ceased recording. The VDR audio continued to record using the redundant power source.”
“VDR resumed recording sensor data, and during this time, steering commands and rutter orders were recorded on the audio,” added Muise.
Muise continued, “The ship’s pilot made a very high-frequency radio call for tugs in the vicinity to assist. About this time, the pilot dispatcher phoned the Maryland Transportation Authority duty officer regarding the blackout.”
He concluded his statement by adding that “The ship’s speed over ground was recorded at just under 7 knots. From this moment to approximately 1:29:33, the VDR audio recorded sounds consistent with the collision of the bridge.”

Before the content on the black box was revealed, Homendy noted a group of operations and engineering groups boarded the DALI to do a walk-through of the ship’s bridge and engine room to find any electronic recorders, cameras, or CCTV footage but could not find any.

Per The Washington Post:
The alarms first sounded on the Dali around 1:24 a.m. Tuesday, an NTSB official said in a Wednesday evening news conference, citing preliminary information from the container ship’s voice data recorder.
About a minute and a half later, the ship’s pilot used a high-frequency radio to request assistance, helping to alert the on-duty Maryland Transportation Authority officer. The pilot called for “tugs in the vicinity,” which help vessels leave the port and get into its main channel. Before the Dali hit the bridge, it had no tugs. Thirty seconds later, the pilot ordered the ship’s anchor to be dropped and gave “additional steering commands,” said Marcel Muise, the lead investigator.
At 1:27 a.m., the pilot reported that the Dali had lost all power and was approaching the bridge, Muise said. At the time, there were two Maryland Transportation Authority units at the scene because of the ongoing construction, and those units shut down all lanes of traffic on the bridge, according to Muise.
He said the voice data recorder captured “sounds consistent with the collision” at 1:29 a.m. Around this time, the lights on the Key Bridge also went out.

Last week the US Supreme Court allowed Texas to enforce its immigration law that allows police to arrest illegal aliens.
The Supreme Court’s conservative majority rejected an emergency application by the Biden Regime requesting the high court block Texas’ immigration law.
The high court temporarily rejected the Biden Regime’s request as litigation made its way through the courts.
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals last week temporarily suspended the immigration law after the Supreme Court rejected the emergency application.
A three-judge panel for the Fifth Circuit in a 2-1 ruling Tuesday night rejected ‘invasion’ claims and issued a new block on Texas’ immigration law.
The one judge who dissented was appointed by Trump.
The AP reported:
Texas’ plans to arrest migrants suspected of illegally entering the U.S. will remain on hold under a federal appeals court order that likely prevents enforcement of Republican Gov. Greg Abbott’s new immigration law until a broader decision on whether it is legal.
The 2-1 ruling late Tuesday is the second time a three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has put a temporary hold on the the Texas law. It follows a confusing few hours last week the Supreme Court allowed the law to take effect, setting off anger and anticipation along the U.S.-Mexico border.
In Tuesday’s order, Chief Judge Priscilla Richman cited a 2012 Supreme Court decision that struck down portions of a strict Arizona immigration law, including arrest power. The Texas law is considered by opponents to be the most dramatic attempt by a state to police immigration since that Arizona law.
“For nearly 150 years, the Supreme Court has held that the power to control immigration — the entry, admission, and removal of noncitizens — is exclusively a federal power,” wrote Richman, an appointee of Republican President George W. Bush.
In December Governor Greg Abbott (R) signed a bill that gives Texas police power to arrest illegal aliens amid Biden’s border invasion.
“Biden’s deliberate inaction has left Texas to fend for itself,” Abbott said, adding the new bill is designed to “stop the tidal wave of illegal entry into Texas.”
“At the Texas-Mexico border today for a bill signing ceremony that will take #OperationLoneStar to the next level,” Abbott said on X in December.

During a recent appearance on MSNBC, far left Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said that he is investigating two major automakers for making cars that are too easy for young people to steal.
This is the sort of backwards thinking that the left is forcing on the rest of the country.
They don’t want to charge criminals for stealing cars, they want to attack the car makers for making the cars too easy to steal. It’s really amazing that Ellison can go on national TV and say this with a straight face.
RedState reports:
We’ve seen a lot of bad approaches to crime from those on the left, particularly from progressive prosecutors who seem to want to upend the enforcement of the law. We’ve been seeing it a lot lately — people who are let out who never should have been let out and then go on to commit horrific crimes.
There’s a frequent failure to hold bad actors responsible. We see in the cases of gun crimes, for example, where the fault somehow is on the gun, the NRA, or the Republican Party rather than on the bad actor and the people who haven’t held him responsible in the past for his bad acts. Somehow, it’s the evil gun’s fault.
Now we have another entrant into this bizarre kind of thinking from Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison…
“But we have to go upstream, and we got to make sure that the automobiles are not so easy to steal that they are a tempting, attractive nuisance for young people. Right now we are investigating two major automakers because their cars are dramatically too easy to steal for young people,” he claimed.
Watch the clip below:

A California judge ruled former Trump lawyer and legal scholar John Eastman should lose his law license for his efforts to challenge the controversial 2020 presidential election.
Because only Democrats can challenge election results in America today.
The Hill reported:
A California judge on Wednesday recommended disbarring a lawyer at the center of former President Trump’s efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
State Bar Judge Yvette Roland found John Eastman culpable on 10 of the 11 counts filed by the California State Bar last year. The state bar sought to strip Eastman’s license to practice law in the state over “false and misleading statements” about purported election fraud and his role in “provoking” the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.

NPR reported:
A federal appeals panel has set up a potential U.S. Supreme Court battle about Pennsylvania’s mail-in ballots that could play a role in determining who wins this year’s presidential election and other races in the key swing state.
Mailed ballots that arrive on time but in envelopes without dates handwritten by Pennsylvania voters or with incorrect dates should not be counted, a three-judge panel of the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Wednesday. Their 2-1 decision strikes down a lower court ruling.
The main legal issue surrounding what are often called “undated ballots” is whether not tallying them violates the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which says a person’s right to vote cannot be denied for “an error or omission” that is “not material” in determining voting eligibility.
A current, handwritten date on the return envelope is required by Pennsylvania state law, but that date is not used to confirm if a person is eligible to vote. For past elections, the final vote tallies by county election officials have included ballots arriving in undated or misdated return envelopes.
In the panel’s majority opinion, 3rd U.S. Circuit Judge Thomas Ambro said that what’s known in legal circles as the materiality provision “only applies when the State is determining who may vote.”
“In other words, its role stops at the door of the voting place,” wrote Ambro, an appointee of former President Bill Clinton, who was joined by Circuit Judge Cindy Chung, a Biden appointee. “The Provision does not apply to rules, like the date requirement, that govern how a qualified voter must cast his ballot for it to be counted.”

Virginia’s Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin vetoed more than two dozen gun control related bills sent to him this week by Democrats who control the state legislature.
It doesn’t matter how bad crime gets or how desperate Americans are to defend themselves and their families, Democrats will not stop pushing gun control.
This is why elections matter. Had Glenn Youngkin lost to Democrat Terry McAuliffe, these gun control bills would likely be laws right now.
Townhall reported:
Youngkin Utterly Destroys Gun Control Push by VA Dems
From a ban on some semi-automatic weapons to gun purchase waiting periods, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin vetoed more than two dozen gun bills sent to his desk this week by the Democrat-controlled General Assembly.
On Tuesday, the Republican governor said he signed 31 bills into law, vetoed 30, and offered amendments to six.
“I swore an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States of America and the Constitution of Virginia, and that absolutely includes protecting the right of law-abiding Virginians to keep and bear arms,” he said in a statement. “I am pleased to sign four public safety bills which are commonsense reforms with significant bipartisan support from the General Assembly, and offer recommendations to several bills which, if adopted, will make it harder for criminals to use guns in the commission of a violent act.”
Youngkin’s office released a 23-page document with his veto statements, including on some high-profile pieces of legislation, such as the ban on what Democrats refer to as “assault weapons.”
The Republican party needs more men like Glenn Youngkin.
As a Virginian, I am overjoyed that Gov. Youngkin has such a respect for our Second Amendment that he would veto these tyrannical infringements. https://t.co/4jK11cB1CB

A 2018 letter from Michael Cohen’s lawyers admitting Trump knew nothing about the Stormy Daniels ‘hush money’ transaction re-emerged as the judge set the trial for April 15.
Last year the Daily Mail obtained a 2018 letter from Michael Cohen’s lawyer stating Cohen used his own personal money to pay Porn Star Stormy Daniels in 2016.
The letter also states that the Trump Org nor the Trump campaign reimbursed Michael Cohen for the $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels.
This directly contradicts Cohen’s testimony – not surprising given Michael Cohen is a convicted perjurer.
Trump has been accused of paying Daniels ‘hush payments’ through his then-attorney Michael Cohen in a scheme to silence her and stop the story about their alleged affair from being published in the National Enquirer.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg charged Trump with 34 felony counts related to the Stormy Daniels ‘hush payment’ transaction.
Michael Cohen’s former legal advisor Robert Costello last year appeared before the Manhattan grand jury to set the record straight.
Costello blasted Michael Cohen as a “convicted perjurer” in remarks to reporters in New York last March.
The prosecutors “cherry-picked” 6 emails out of more than 300 emails, Costello said.
Costello told reporters that Michael Cohen used the money “pursuant to a HELOC (Home Equity Line of Credit) loan” to pay Stormy.
“And why did you take the loan, Michael?” Costello said recalling a conversation he had with Cohen about the payment to Stormy Daniels.
“‘I wanted this secret. I didn’t even want my own wife to know. Much less Melania Trump,’” Costello said recalling Cohen’s remarks about using money from a HELOC to pay Stormy Daniels.

A 2018 letter from Michael Cohen’s lawyer to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) blows another hole in Cohen’s testimony.
“In a private transaction in 2016, before the U.S. presidential election, Mr. Cohen used his own personal funds to facilitate a payment of $130,000 to Ms. Stephanie Clifford,’ Cohen’s lawyer Stephen Ryan, who worked form McDermott Will & Emery wrote.
“Neither the Trump Organization nor the Trump campaign was a party to the transaction with Ms. Clifford, and neither reimbursed Mr. Cohen for the payment directly or indirectly,” the lawyer wrote.
“Contrary to the allegations in the complaint, which are entirely speculative, neither Mr. Cohen nor Essential Consultants LLC made any in-kind contributions to Donald J. Trump for President, Inc., or any other presidential campaign committee.” he said.

The Uniparty is quietly scheming (again) to rig the system and prevent President Trump from ever becoming President. This scheme involves a two-part strategy: using a combination of strategically planned retirements of Republican House members, coupled with the passage of carefully tailored legislation to remove President Trump from the ballot on bogus Insurrection grounds that would likely pass muster with moderate justices on the Supreme Court, like John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett, who prefer to avoid deciding on “controversial” legal questions and risk being seen in a bad light by their liberal peers.
The fact that over a dozen House Republicans have recently announced their early retirement, or their intention to not seek re-election, should raise alarm bells for everyone, because these decisions are not by happenstance. They are coordinated and serve the specific purpose to keep President Trump off the ballot. As their attempts at lawfare appear to be falling apart one-by-one, from the debacle in Georgia involving Fani Willis’s rendezvous with the special prosecutor Nathan Wade, to the kangaroo show trials in NYC, with petty judges and prosecutors such as Letitia James, Arthur Engoron, and Juan Merchan, being exposed for the radical, far-left operators they are – President Trump’s political enemies are getting increasingly desperate, and as a result of that desperation, are strategizing to now switch control of the House of Representatives before election day. If they manage to pull off that feat, which is becoming increasingly likely with a diminishing House Republican majority, the product of intra-party squabbling and general incompetence of Republican leadership, and Democrats retake control, President Trump’s enemies will be able to more easily pass legislation that would disqualify him from the ballot. This is because if the House flips to Democrat hands and Speaker Hakeem Jeffries takes the reins, he will be able to coordinate with Chuck Schumer in the Senate more easily, who already controls a majority in the upper chamber. At least up until the November election, there will be no divided government: Democrats will have majorities in both congressional chambers, plus the White House. Thus, the House, Senate, and White House can collude to pass legislation that would exclude President Trump from the ballot because, according to their absurd construction, Section 3 and Section 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment allows them to do so.
This is why the early-announced retirements of House members like Mike Gallagher (WI) and Ken Buck (CO), and the forced ouster of former Congressman George Santos (NY), have received (rightful) criticism from the MAGA movement, including some of the most stridently pro-Trump congresspersons, like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert. The Mike Gallagher case is particularly illustrative of RINO subversion – and MTG was no-holds-barred in her criticism of the move. Gallagher, rather than step down immediately, announced that he would delay his retirement until April 19th. Under Wisconsin law, special elections to fill seat vacancies can only occur up until the second Tuesday in April – after which point, the law requires the seat remain vacant through the November election. Thus, if Gallagher postpones his retirement until the 19th, after the second Tuesday in April, there will be no special election: Republicans will simply have to accept losing another House seat. Democrats will be one seat closer to reclaiming majority control. Gallagher’s refusal to step down before the second Tuesday in April makes no sense whatsoever: it can only be explained as an act of deliberate sabotage. MTG took notice. On March 23rd, she posted that Gallagher “should be expelled if he refuses to leave immediately,” recognizing how his delay could ultimately cost Republicans the House majority.
It is no coincidence that the same forces so deeply critical of George Santos’ ouster late last year are the ones most vocal about the news of these early retirements. They observe the writing on the wall: the desire is to keep President Trump off the ballot – and out of office. Providing further support for this theory is the fact that of the 14 or so members that have announced early retirements, at least six of them have received significant funds from notorious anti-Trump megadonor, Paul Singer: Cathy McMorris Rodgers, Patrick McHenry, Drew Ferguson, Kay Granger, Blaine Luetkemeyer, and Greg Pence. Singer, as smartly reported by investigative journalist Troy Smith, and veteran political operative, Roger Stone, also donated a whopping $5,000,000 to Nikki Haley’s failed presidential bid – which marked another attempt by the deep state to derail President Trump in his tracks.
Singer’s support for anti-Trump, RINO candidates has a well-documented and extensive history. The billionaire has been unsuccessfully trying to thwart the President ever since he descended the Trump Tower escalator: in 2016, Singer poured over $2.5 million into Marco Rubio’s failed presidential campaign. Singer also supported research into the universally discredited, bogus Steele Dossier after Trump was elected to the presidency, and has been actively trying to stop the 45th President in his tracks ever since.
What Singer and his RINO allies – and other anti-Trump interest groups in the DC Swamp – are attempting to accomplish is quite blatant: push enough Republicans into early retirement so as to give Democrats control of the House before the November election. The timing is critical: the reason Democrats need to retake control before November is to ensure enough Supreme Court justices will rubber stamp any legislation that might prevent President Trump from getting on the ballot on Fourteenth Amendment grounds.
But, you might be thinking, did not the Supreme Court already rule, in a unanimous (per curiam in Court-speak) judgment, that Colorado’s Secretary of State could not do exactly that in the recent decision, Trump v. Anderson? Not exactly.
One must pick apart the decision with a fine-tooth comb, but the attentive reader will find the language of the Court rather worrisome. This is particularly true for the three liberal justices: Kagan, Sotomayor, and Jackson, who wrote a separate concurrence – agreeing with the Court’s majority “only in the judgment.” Adding further worry is the separate concurrence of Justice Barrett, who also wrote her own 1-page judgment, agreeing with the majority for “Parts I and II-B” of the opinion, while also stating her belief that the five justices who fully signed onto the majority went too far.
In simple terms, the Court was only unanimous on the threshold issue – that Colorado’s Secretary of State could not have the power to unilaterally remove President Trump from the ballot. But agreement ends there. Should the House switch hands, and a Democrat-controlled Congress passes enforcement legislation, pursuant to Section 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment to remove President Trump from the ballot, it is very likely that at least 3 justices will uphold that legislation. And, based on the language of her decision, Justice Amy Coney Barrett would be a tossup – meaning she can potentially side with her liberal colleagues. If she winds up siding with the Court’s three liberals, it will only require one other justice – like John Roberts or Brett Kavanaugh, who have been known to be soft on politically hot-button issues, to jump ship. The fact that none of the judges were willing to rule on whether President Trump actually engaged in Insurrection on January 6th, 2021, is also troubling – because it suggests that the Court would rather remain “above politics,” rather than risking embroiling itself in a hugely important political controversy, providing clarity in the law, even if it meant alienating radical Leftists, who frequently resort to fear mongering, bullying, and even violent threats to get what they want out of squishy justices.
While it is true that the Court paid some consideration to the prospect of the House switching hands before the election and passing legislation to exclude President Trump from the ballot, it did not go far enough. Sure, the Court took off the table the idea that Congress could pass legislation between Election Day and Inauguration Day, when the result of the 2024 election is presumably already known, to prevent the duly elected president from taking office. This language clearly has President Trump in mind and is effectively stating that if Democrats have control of Congress – and if President Trump is re-elected – they cannot attempt to ram through last-minute legislation to prevent him from taking office on alleged Fourteenth Amendment grounds, in a last-ditch attempt to block him out of the presidency.
Although that appears sensible on its face, already four justices – the three liberals and Justice Barrett – clearly signaled that they would not, at least at this point, be comfortable taking that option off the table. In short, four justices have suggested that they might uphold a last-minute legislative effort by a Democrat-controlled Congress to oust President Trump even after he had already been re-elected. If that is true, then certainly the four would support enforcement legislation to remove President Trump from the ballot while he was still Candidate Trump. They would likely do this despite the safety measures included in the majority’s opinion to prevent congressional legislation from going too far – such as the language from the opinion that stipulates for “‘congruence and proportionality’ between preventing or remedying [the alleged misconduct] ‘and the means adopted to that end.’”
How President Trump Might Stop RINO Attempts To Knock Him Off The Ballot Before It’s Too Late
So, what now?
Well, the first – and likely most important step – in planning a counter-strategy, is to be aware of the problem. This piece goes a long way towards spelling out a potential issue; by highlighting Republican chicaneries in the House – and calling it out in its tracks, such as what MTG did with Gallagher, that could well go a long way towards subduing something that has the potential to blossom into a 5-alarm fire.
If President Trump, for example, calls out Mike Gallagher’s antics in their path – that might force him to step down early, and not wait until beyond the deadline to give Democrats another seat. Putting a national spotlight on the issue, by way of President Trump and his campaign, might also prevent other would-be House RINO turncoat members from pulling off a similar trick – and might also put pressure on House Speaker Mike Johnson to reprimand, or potentially even expel, members that do not fall in lockstep. (And if Mike Johnson proves incapable of stopping this plot in its tracks, then another motion to vacate – of the kind MTG proposed just recently – might be just what the doctor ordered.)
As a matter of policy, if, God forbid, House Republican antics continue, and they wind up losing control over the lower chamber to the Democrats, President Trump can and should coordinate with 41 Senators, the number needed to prevent cloture of a filibuster, to ensure blockage of any would-be Insurrection legislation that gets passed. This can be done, but it will involve strategic planning with sympathetic Republican ears in the Senate – currently, Democrats hold onto a slim 51-49 seat majority in the Senate and are poised to lose control of the upper chamber in this November’s election cycle due to a highly favorable Republican map.
Accordingly, if President Trump and his team can coordinate with enough Republicans to block cloture – they can prevent any Insurrection legislation from being passed. Current rules require 60 votes to end a filibuster, so Republicans can afford to lose eight of their members, and still prevent any such legislation from going to Joe Biden’s desk. And while it is true that if ever such legislation were passed, the Supreme Court would almost certainly automatically review it for its constitutionality, given how high-pressure the situation will be – and other factors that are outside anyone’s control, such as the circumstances in which such legislation is passed – it is best to prevent such a dire scenario from occurring ahead of time, in its tracks, rather than leave it up to the Supreme Court, a wildcard, to decide when it might already be too late.

In the aftermath of the catastrophic collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge early Tuesday morning, questions are being raised about the nature of the incident.
The bridge, a crucial artery for the Baltimore Beltway I-695, saw a section plummet into the Patapsco River after a cargo ship collided with one of its support columns.
Seasoned investigative journalist Lara Logan, in a statement on Tuesday, alleged that the incident was not an accident but rather a “strategic attack.” This claim gained further attention as she joined Steve Bannon on The War Room to discuss the implications of the bridge collapse.
“You say there may be something. Here’s the other thing that’s concerning me. Why do they run to the mic? You had McCabe on this morning at sunrise on CNN saying, ‘It’s not terrorism. It’s not terrorism. It’s not… It might not be terrorism. But why do you come to the mic Right away, we need facts, we need empirical evidence, we need an investigation. What is your investigation telling you?” Bannon asked.
Lara Logan responded with her own pressing question, “Why are you coming to the mic telling the country that it’s not terrorism when your own intelligence agencies are telling you it is?”
She continued to explain that her sources, a mix of active duty and retired personnel from various agencies, believe the bridge collapse was a cyber attack targeting a major supply chain corridor.
By Thursday, Logan provided an update, referencing analyses from experts in various fields including behavioral analytics, counter-terrorism, and national security. These specialists offered a two-pronged theory on the bridge collapse.
Lara Logan wrote on X:
BALTIMORE UPDATE: Analysis from specialists in predictive behavioral analytics, counter-terrorism, hazardous materials, maritime attacks, cyber, national security & intel – this is their view:
Based on their training & experience, they believe this was two types of operation:
1) “Penetration testing” where they are probing/testing to identify vulnerabilities in our responses and defences,
AND
2) a shaping operation to set the conditions and prepare the battlefield for a potential future event.
The concern is that other critical infrastructure disruptions/hits recently that appeared to be independent, isolated events, MAY not be. For example, the Ohio chemical disaster, train derailments, fires at food processing plants etc when taken in isolation do not appear to be that significant but when taken together, could indicate shaping or stacking operations that are paving the way for a bigger event where they do any number of these types of operations together. That could potentially paralyze the U.S..
So the critical question our government should be answering right now is this:
“When will they trigger a multiple episode that causes the paralysis effect?”
Some of the indicators are how many incidents have occurred within “a relatively short timeline” & what they see as the departure from what is “normal”.
They believe those in charge will make sure the investigation into the bridge crash “goes nowhere quick”.
And one of the goals here is to give the public mental anesthesia while they test this, using train derailments or exposure to chemicals in Ohio where they told everyone to shelter indoors – to ask questions like: Did they comply? Is this going to successfully deceive & cause behavioural change?
They use the media to create the assumptive narrative – do not want the facts analyzed because they do not want people processing the truth. Truth naturally leads to questions they do not want asked.
But it would be “foolish and naive at the expense of national security not to question the Government narrative on the Baltimore bridge crash given the level of corruption in spheres of power and influence in this country today”.
With many years of experience in “spoofing” – the tactic used in cyber warfare to hack into someones’s system and deceive in order to achieve a certain outcome – they recognized multiple indicators watching the video that tell them the GPS signal was likely hacked. It would have led them to believe they were not as close to the bridge as they were and may be why in the video you see the crazy lean to port and then to hard starboard as they realized they were not on course in spite of the GPS indicating they were.
In information warfare terms, here are some of the tactics they see being used now that many of you will recognize:
1) Engineered complexity – where they throw in nonsensical variables (information) to distract. This is designed to keep you from serially processing multiple channels & give you processing overload that prevents you from toggling different channels of information.
IE: they create processing decoys to distract you from truth.
2) They are trying to reframe the issue by focusing on details that do not matter. They do this by throwing in a variable that is not relevant to the main equation.
3) Common sense, skepticism and intelligence are huge “overlays” that get in the way of manipulating human behavior so they analyze you to learn how to create channel overload as you toggle/handle different channels of information such as the speed of the boat, temperature of the water etc.
3) They need to load you up with enough variance to create channel overload so you create an error that they can use to discredit you. One way is to create doubt in yourself. Most effective because you make yourself less efficient when your brain is processing self-doubt. And it will propogate into the future.
“Population so much easier to dupe today than 20 years ago.”
The incident at the Francis Scott Key Bridge is no longer viewed solely as a tragic accident but rather as a potential harbinger of more complex threats facing the United States today.

Leonel Moreno, a Venezuelan illegal immigrant who has gained notorious attention for instructing illegal aliens on how to squat in American homes, is now evading authorities, as confirmed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) according to the New York Post.
Moreno’s activities came to light when his TikTok account @leitooficial_25 was suspended for violating the platform’s policies against promoting criminal behavior. He had attracted a following of over 500,000 before the suspension.
“If a house is not inhabited, we can seize it,” he asserts in the video, which has now been viewed nearly 4 million times.
In the controversial clip, Moreno speaks in Spanish, elaborating on his plans to squat in the U.S.
“I have thought about invading a house in the United States,” he says. “I found out there is a law that says if a house is not inhabited, we can seize it. Here in the United States, the law of land invasion applies, and I think that will be my next business: invading abandoned houses.”
He further mentions collaborating with friends from Africa who have purportedly already taken over multiple houses. Moreno suggests that the law allows for the takeover of dilapidated and poorly maintained homes, which can then be repaired, lived in, or even used to secure credit lines.

The video has sparked a vehement outcry on various platforms, with users accusing Moreno of promoting illegal activity and some going as far as to label his advice as ‘promotional terrorism.’ Calls have been made for intervention by the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security.
Following this controversial video, his account has been suspended.
“I am in danger of death in the US! I need protection! I am being persecuted! My account has been blocked!” he said in a snotty sobbing video.
“My people, I need you to pay attention to what’s happening because my family is on danger. They erased my TikTok accounts. I have received threats from powerful people. Help!”
“My people, they have gotten what they wanted! The envy has reached my family! Everything that’s happening is because of your evilness! The want to silence me!”
UPDATE: Capichi is devastated because his TikTok account, boasting nearly 5 million followers, has been suspended, leaving him in tears.

Moreno’s journey into the US began when he crossed the border illegally at Eagle Pass, Texas, in April 2022, after which he became a part of the Alternatives to Detention program.
This program, designed to monitor migrants through ankle monitors and other technologies, was Moreno’s pathway to freedom within the United States. However, he soon violated the terms and became what is referred to as an “absconder” by ICE officials.
In one of his videos, Moreno boasted about receiving $350 weekly from the federal government. He also said he ‘doesn’t like to work because it gives him allergies.’
GB News reported in February:
Leonel Moreno, a Venezuelan migrant, bragged in a video online that he survives by living off of US taxpayers’ money.
An influencer migrant who “doesn’t like to work because it gives him allergies” has urged his 300,00 followers to beg for money instead of getting a job.
Leonel Moreno, a Venezuelan migrant, bragged in a video online that he survives by living off of US taxpayers’ money.
Moreno, who arrived in the US in September, said that he once made $275 from “three hours [of] asking for money at traffic lights”.
His content revolves around his lifestyle in America and how he earns an income by living off of money handed out by the government.
In another video posted on February 21, Moreno explained his intention behind migrating to the United States, stating: “You came to the United States to work, and I came to vacation, look at the difference. You and I didn’t come with the same purpose. You came to the United States to pay the taxes that you didn’t pay in Venezuela.”
Later that day, he posted another clip online, admitting: “I confess that I don’t like to work because it gives me allergies. You work, I don’t, but in the end, neither of us have money. They keep criticising us because I live off of taxes that you pay monthly.”
Despite his fugitive status, Moreno was audacious enough to post a video of himself in front of a Gahanna police car, though the local police have professed ignorance of his whereabouts, according to The Post.
Gahanna police have informed the media that while they are aware of the videos, they have had no interactions with Moreno and cannot ascertain his location.
Moreno’s release into the US was initially granted due to overcapacity at detention facilities. It was revealed that ICE in Miami had issued Moreno a court date for immigration proceedings in November 2022, which he failed to attend. The lack of follow-up with such cases is indicative of the program’s inability to maintain oversight over its participants.
John Fabbricatore, former ICE field office director, and current candidate for Colorado’s Sixth District, condemned the Alternatives to Detention program pushed by the Biden regime as a “failure,” citing the million-plus individuals enrolled and the high rate of those who abscond.

“U.S. Doubles Pentagon Budget for Multinational Haiti Force,” reports The Miami Herald. And just like that, the U.S. has another war on its hands, and soon the refugees will arrive. Despite Republican opposition blocking $40 million in security aid, $10 million is already on its way to buy guns for the Haitian police.
The situation in Haiti is unwinnable, and U.S. meddling has only made things worse. More U.S. money, weapons, and diplomatic support for any of the warring factions will just perpetuate the cycle of violence, coups, assassinations, and corruption that have rendered Haiti an effectively failed state.
In 2021, the Biden Administration backed Haiti’s unpopular Prime Minister Ariel Henry, a move that many feel helped to fuel much of the current violence. James Foley, a retired career diplomat and former U.S. ambassador to Haiti, remarked that the Biden Administration “rode the horse to their doom” by supporting the wrong man.
Now, the country has collapsed into chaos, with a figure known as Barbecue leading the country’s gang coalition. However, Barbecue has been excluded from a transitional governmental council established with the UN’s blessing.
Last year, under Henry’s watch, gangs killed an estimated 4,800 people. Between January and the beginning of March, an additional 1,200 were killed. The streets were littered with decomposing bodies, while gangs waged war for control.
Innocent civilians suffered; they were robbed, raped, or caught in the crossfire. Business owners were forced to pay for protection, and shortages of essential goods occurred as delivery drivers refused to risk their lives.
Kidnapping for ransom had become a mainstay industry. A humanitarian crisis exploded as doctors, nurses, and patients were afraid or unable to reach hospitals. More than 300,000 Haitians have been forced to flee their homes, while refugees have flooded into or attempted to flood into the Dominican Republic.
While Haiti burned, gangs demanded Prime Minister Henry’s resignation.
The gangs attacked police stations, raided a jail, and released 3,000 inmates. Already in control of 80% of the territory in the capital city, they laid siege to both the presidential palace and the interior ministry. The gangs were struggling to gain control of the country’s primary seaport and airport when Prime Minister Henry jumped on a plane.
He flew to Africa to meet with leaders there and also held meetings with CARICOM, the 15-nation bloc of Caribbean countries, trying to organize an international peacekeeping mission to restore order in Haiti.
However, those nations were not willing to step into the quagmire of trying to prop up an unpopular government in a country that has never had stability.
On his way back to Haiti, the situation had become so dire that it was no longer safe for him to land at the country’s main international airport. So, he attempted to find a friendly port to take refuge in.
Neighboring Dominican Republic, as well as other Caribbean nations, refused to let him in. Finally, the U.S. gave him permission to land in Puerto Rico.
Now a former police officer, Jimmy “Barbecue” Cherizier, previously accused of participating in several large-scale massacres in Port-au-Prince, has emerged as the leader of a coalition of gangs attempting to negotiate the formation of a new government.
Aid groups estimate that 1.5 million people are now in need of protection and assistance. President Biden believes the aid should come from America, while many Americans hold a contrary opinion.
Haiti has never experienced stability, and the situation appears unresolvable at this point. By assuming the burden of fixing Haiti’s problems, the US would be stepping into another situation akin to Iraq or Afghanistan, which is deemed completely unwinnable due to a long history of dysfunction and numerous warring parties, all vying for control of one of the world’s poorest and least developed countries.
Between 1945 and 2023, Haiti witnessed 24 coup d’états, and six Haitian presidents were assassinated. The most recent assassination occurred in 2021 when President Jovenel Moïse was killed.
Following his assassination, Claude Joseph, who was the acting Prime Minister at the time of Moïse’s death, declared a state of siege in Haiti. However, there was a dispute over leadership, as Ariel Henry, who had been appointed as Prime Minister by Moïse just days before his assassination, claimed the right to lead the government.
Eventually, Ariel Henry was recognized as the Prime Minister by international actors, principally the United States, and took office, succeeding Claude Joseph.
On March 11, Henry finally resigned, and United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed his support for a transitional council that would appoint a successor to Henry until elections could be held.
The first problem with this plan is that Ariel Henry’s assumption of office as Prime Minister was initially intended to be temporary, with the goal of overseeing the organization of elections in Haiti.
After assuming office, Henry pledged to work towards holding elections and facilitating a peaceful transition of power. However, the situation remained tense as various factions did not accept Henry’s rule.
A systemic issue that has contributed to violence and instability is that each of the successive governments for the past 20 years or more has utilized street gangs as enforcers.
Consequently, the powerful and well-funded gangs demand a piece of the action. As soon as a government resorts to extra-governmental militias to enforce its policies, democracy is compromised.
Now that the genie is out of the bottle, Biden, the UN, and other well-meaning actors mistakenly believe that a democratic transition is possible.
The transition, which the UN approves of, was agreed upon in Jamaica by the intergovernmental Caribbean Community (CARICOM), along with representatives of Haiti’s government and opposition.
When the list of political groups was released by CARICOM, some Haitian political factions were enraged because they were not represented. Some rejected the list completely, while others criticized the fact that Haiti’s political class, which had steered the country into its current crisis, were to be brought back to power.
Barbecue, for his part, threatened to kill politicians and their families who participate in the council.
The situation is completely untenable. The gangs are not going to accept the interim government, and the violence will continue unabated. Biden needs to steer the US clear of this dumpster fire. The last thing America needs is another expensive and hopeless foreign military intervention.

By Wayne Allyn Root
This will be the shortest commentary I’ve ever written. Because it’s this simple: Trump can go a long way to saving America by making this his first act on his first day back in office…
I know. I know. This nation has been so royally screwed by Biden (aka “Captain Dementia”) and his boss Obama (the real president) that it will take all four years and thousands of actions to turn things around.
But as Trump’s very first act on his very first day, this will set the tone…and put the whole country on notice there is a new sheriff in town…with a MAGA, America First, pro taxpayer, patriotic agenda.
Trump’s first act in office should be eliminating all $86 billion of new funding for the IRS…and terminating all 86,000 new IRS agents (many of them armed)…
And then turnaround and use the money to fund 86,000 new border agents (all of them armed).
Government agents should never again point their guns at law-abiding American taxpayers and instead they should point their guns at law-breaking, illegal alien invaders.
That very first act will set the tone for “Making America Great Again.”
Now I know there will be many other Executive Actions necessary on day one- in particular, securing the border…funding the wall…restoring Title 42…killing all green energy mandates so we can make America energy independent again…killing all electric car mandates to save America’s auto industry…and an immediate pardon for all J6 political hostages. We desperately need to get all of that done on day one.
And even those actions are just a small part of the necessary agenda on day one.
But nothing says “America is back in business”…and the U.S. government is no longer acting as an enemy of its own citizens than…
Firing all 86,000 new IRS agents…and hiring 86,000 border agents.
On that day, I will cry tears of happiness. And I’ll be the proudest and happiest man in the greatest country in world history, ever blessed by God.
No more government hatred for the American people…no more invasion of America…fewer IRS agents and more border agents…all is right with the world.
This one act by itself may not instantly save America…but it sure is a great start!
God bless Trump and God bless America.

Democrat Mayor John Whitmire delivered a sobering message to the citizens of Houston, declaring that the city is “broke.”
I think we can all agree on that, we are broke. This gives us a chance to discuss the financial picture of this City. It is broken! It was broken when I got here,” Whitmire claimed according to FOX 26.
Houston, the fourth-most populous city in the United States and seventh in North America, has a history of predominantly Democratic leadership, with only two Republican mayors since its founding in 1837.
Now, facing an estimated current deficit of at least $160 million, Whitmire is proposing a 5% across-the-board cut to all aspects of city government, excluding essential services like firefighters and police.
“I don’t like a 5% cut now, but you have to make tough decisions and folks put me in this position to make tough decisions, and I’m going to do my job,” Whitmire said.
The city’s financial woes stem in part from a long-standing labor dispute with firefighters, which was recently settled at a cost of 650 million for back pay and 180 million for annual wage hikes.
City Council Member Willie Davis believes that the settlement is a significant compromise, stating, “This is going to come down to a financial sacrifice by the City. Now we can either be 1.2 billion broke or we can be 650 million broke.”
The increasing financial burden has alarmed other council members, including Tiffany Thomas, who questioned the next steps for generating revenue. The mayor has indicated that part of the solution may involve requesting more taxpayer support.
However, critics have accused the city of financial mismanagement. Bill King, a local columnist and businessman, criticized former Mayor Sylvester Turner, stating that the city’s financial issues have been apparent for over a decade and were only masked by a temporary influx of federal dollars, according to Daily Mail.
With the necessity of a tax hike looming, City Controller Chris Hollins mentioned a potential bond measure for the November ballot, where taxpayers may be asked to contribute more to address the shortfall.
Daily Mail reported:
H-town’s money problems come at a time when the rest of the Lone Star State is swimming in cash.
The Republican state, well-known for not having a state income tax, saw a nearly $33 billion surplus last year– more than the state budget of South Carolina.
Much of that is due to the hordes of people moving to Texas– with projections saying Dallas could overtake New York as the most populous city in the country by 2100.
If population trends hold, Houston would replace Los Angeles as the second largest city in the US.
Despite all the newcomers, local leaders haven’t been able to cash in on the new arrivals, like other cities and town.
Critics say the city should not default to taxing residents when they could raise the money but cutting the fat inside city hall and selling an expensive art collection owned by the city.
‘The first thing we need to do is find where the money is first as opposed to the typical liberal answer to every problem: raise taxes on the people,’ conservative political analyst Gary Polland suggested.
One idea is charge for services like trash collection, which are currently free.

The city of Rockford, Illinois, has been plunged into mourning following a horrific stabbing spree that left four people dead and seven others injured on Wednesday afternoon.
The Rockford Police Department responded to a medical emergency call at approximately 1:14 p.m., which quickly escalated into a multi-scene investigation leading to the discovery of multiple victims.
Authorities confirmed that the violence unfolded across several locations in the northern Illinois city, approximately 94 miles from Chicago.
Police Chief Carla Redd addressed the media, extending her deepest sympathies to the victims’ families and indicating that a 22-year-old male suspect was promptly taken into custody for questioning. However, still no ID was released.
“This is a pretty painstaking event,” Chief Redd expressed. “My heart goes out to the families right now who are suffering a loss.”
The victims, whose identities have not been disclosed, included a 15-year-old girl, a 63-year-old woman, a 49-year-old man, and another 22-year-old man, according to USA Today.
Rockford Fire Department District Chief Will Pederson confirmed that three victims succumbed to their injuries at the scene, while a fourth passed away after being transported to a local hospital.
The Rockford police reported that one of the injured remains in critical condition, with several others stabilized. Two additional victims, acknowledged by the Winnebago County Sheriff’s Office, received treatment for their injuries, according to CNN.
The suspect was apprehended following a home invasion report, according to Winnebago County Sheriff Gary Caruana. Providing details on the encounter, Sheriff Caruana recounted how a female victim managed to escape the attacker despite sustaining injuries. A good Samaritan who came to her aid was also wounded but is reportedly in good condition.
“We don’t have a clear motive in regard to what caused this individual to commit such heinous crimes,” Police Chief Carla Redd said.
CNN reported:
Police said not all of the victims were stabbed, nor did they have any gunshot wounds, but did not indicate how the other victims died or were injured. One of the deceased victims was a mailman, according to the sheriff.
“This is a very active and multi-level, multi-agency investigation and has an extensive amount of moving parts,” the Wednesday evening news release said. “As with any investigation, further details and charges may come at a later date.”
Police urged residents to look at their cameras and doorbells for any video footage related to the incidents, and to submit any tips to police or anonymously through the Rockford Area Crime Stoppers.
Speaking at the news conference, Rockford Mayor Tom McNamara said he was “totally shaken by this act of violence and the impact that it’s having now on multiple families’ lives.”
There will be counselors on-site at Flinn Middle School on Thursday and Friday to help those individuals and families that have been impacted, he said.
“It’s hard to grasp how this could happen and how emotional and raw the community is tonight,” the mayor said in a Facebook post. “As a dad, a son, a husband, the Mayor and a Rockford supporter, my heart is breaking for those who have lost their lives, their families and our community.”
This stabbing rampage comes on the heels of another violent incident in the city, where a Walmart employee was fatally stabbed just days prior.
Also, the chair and a member of the Illinois Prisoner Review Board resigned amid controversy after they approved the release of a man who committed a fatal stabbing of his ex-girlfriend’s young son, less than a day after his release.

A video clip showing Sean “Diddy” Combs spending time with a then 15-year-old Justin Bieber has reemerged following the search of the rapper’s properties as part of a federal investigation into human trafficking.
Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) raided Combs’ properties in Holmby Hills, Los Angeles, and Miami’s Star Island on Monday, March 25, as part of a broader sex trafficking probe.
Combs has been accused of drugging and sexually assaulting young women.
“Earlier today, Homeland Security Investigations New York executed law enforcement actions as part of an ongoing investigation with assistance from HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami and our local law enforcement partners. We will provide further information as it becomes available,” Homeland Security Investigations said in a statement.
Footage provided by SkyFOX showed agents arresting a few individuals. It is unclear who was in the home at the time of the raid. It is unclear who was detained by the feds.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, an American musician and producer, has instigated legal action against Combs, his son Justin Dior Combs, chief of staff Kristen Khorram, and various entities including Universal Music Group and Motown Records.
Jones alleges enduring illegal and traumatic experiences while residing with Combs and working on the “Love” album.
The lawsuit accuses Combs of continuous recording demands, illegal drug use and distribution, as well as the provision of spiked beverages to minors and sex workers. Jones has compared Khorram to Ghislaine Maxwell for her role in allegedly procuring drugs for Combs’ operations.
In a detailed account, Jones describes an incident at a Hollywood recording studio where a shooting took place, resulting in injuries to himself and another individual, known only as “G.” The lawsuit claims Combs instructed witnesses to misinform police about the circumstances of the shooting.
In light of these developments, Homeland Security Investigations spearheaded the operation that targeted Combs’ Holmby Hills and Star Island homes. Although details of the investigation are scarce, the statement from Homeland Security confirms it is part of a broader inquiry requiring federal and local law enforcement collaboration.
Combs, through his legal representation, denounced the raids, describing them as unnecessarily aggressive and defending his innocence in the face of the allegations.
“Yesterday, there was a gross overuse of military-level force as search warrants were executed at Mr. Combs’ residences. There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated,” Aaron Dyer, an attorney for Combs told The Daily Mail.
Revelations from retired NYPD detective Derrick Parker, once part of the “Hip Hop Cops,” suggest that Combs’ influence might have previously shielded him from scrutiny. Parker hinted at the possibility of an informant within Diddy’s inner circle propelling the federal investigation.
The controversy deepens with the emergence of a video showing Combs alongside a 15-year-old Justin Bieber, making statements that have raised eyebrows in light of the current allegations.
In the video, Combs boasts about spending forty-eight hours with Bieber, hinting at activities kept secret from the public eye.
Daily Mail reported:
In the clip Diddy, born Sean Love Combs, stands next to the young pop sensation and tells the camera ‘He’s having forty-eight hours with Diddy, where we hanging out and what we’re doing we can’t really disclose,’ he explained.
‘But it’s definitely a 15-year-old’s dream.’
The hip hop mogul added: ‘I have been given custody of him. He’s signed to Usher and I had legal guardianship of Usher when he did his first album.
‘I don’t have legal guardianship of him [Bieber] but for the next forty-eight hours he’s with me and we’re gonna go full crazy.’
Bieber, wearing a black baseball cap and purple shirt smiles and looks up at Diddy throughout the video, making small comments such as ‘yeah’ and ‘full crazy.’
The video was posted to social media and triggered an outpouring of criticism and concern, with one person labelling the footage ‘creepy’.

The Department of Justice Office of Public Affairs announced charges against seven hackers associated with Chinese Communist Government for targeting perceived critics of China and US businesses and politicians.
The seven Chinese hackers were named in the DOJ press release.
The victims were politicians from both parties and critics of the Chinese Communist regime. However, the politicians were not named in the DOJ report.
Hat Tip John Mills
Here is a copy of the indictment.
Via the DOJ.
An indictment was unsealed today charging seven nationals of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) with conspiracy to commit computer intrusions and conspiracy to commit wire fraud for their involvement in a PRC-based hacking group that spent approximately 14 years targeting U.S. and foreign critics, businesses, and political officials in furtherance of the PRC’s economic espionage and foreign intelligence objectives.
The defendants are Ni Gaobin (倪高彬), 38; Weng Ming (翁明), 37; Cheng Feng (程锋), 34; Peng Yaowen (彭耀文), 38; Sun Xiaohui (孙小辉), 38; Xiong Wang (熊旺), 35; and Zhao Guangzong (赵光宗), 38. All are believed to reside in the PRC.
“The Justice Department will not tolerate efforts by the Chinese government to intimidate Americans who serve the public, silence the dissidents who are protected by American laws, or steal from American businesses,” said Attorney General Merrick B. Garland. “This case serves as a reminder of the ends to which the Chinese government is willing to go to target and intimidate its critics, including launching malicious cyber operations aimed at threatening the national security of the United States and our allies.”
“Over 10,000 malicious emails, impacting thousands of victims, across multiple continents. As alleged in today’s indictment, this prolific global hacking operation – backed by the PRC government – targeted journalists, political officials, and companies to repress critics of the Chinese regime, compromise government institutions, and steal trade secrets,” said Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco. “The Department of Justice will relentlessly pursue, expose, and hold accountable cyber criminals who would undermine democracies and threaten our national security.”
“Today’s announcement exposes China’s continuous and brash efforts to undermine our nation’s cybersecurity and target Americans and our innovation,” said FBI Director Christopher Wray. “As long as China continues to target the US and our partners, the FBI will continue to send a clear message that cyber espionage will not be tolerated, and we will tirelessly pursue those who threaten our nation’s security and prosperity. This indictment underscores our unwavering commitment to disrupt and deter malicious cyber activity, and safeguard our citizens, businesses, and critical infrastructure from threats in cyberspace.”

“The US healthcare system has been taken captive by Big Hospitals, Big Pharma, Insurance, and regulators, which have made it the most expensive healthcare system in the world. Sick patients who enter often face a horrible choice: lose their financial security or refuse treatment.
Worse, they make their decisions in a state of pain and distress while being poorly educated by doctors on various treatment options and their necessity.”

Russia reported on Thursday the Moscow theater terrorists received their financial backing from Ukraine – which could possibly mean the US was involved.
#BREAKING Russia says Moscow concert hall attackers got financial backing from Ukraine pic.twitter.com/FFCQGM3VU4
— AFP News Agency (@AFP) March 28, 2024
Russia Today reported:
The suspects in last week’s Moscow terrorist attack were linked to Ukrainian nationalists, the Russian Investigative Committee stated on Thursday, citing preliminary findings. The perpetrators had received “significant sums of money” from Ukraine, the law enforcement agency said.
The investigators have obtained “substantiated evidence” that the suspected assailants received funding from Ukraine in the form of cryptocurrency, which was then used to prepare the terrorist attack, the statement read.
Law enforcement officers also identified and detained another suspect who was allegedly involved in financing the attack, the Investigative Committee said, without identifying the individual.
Earlier, the head of Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB), Aleksandr Bortnikov, told reporters that the US, UK and Ukraine may have been behind the attack. The Ukrainians may have been preparing a “window” for them to cross back over the border, the official said. “On the other side, they were to be welcomed as heroes,” he added.
The terrorists who attacked the Crocos City Hall in Moscow and slaughtered over 130 Russians were caught while fleeing across the border to Ukraine.
One of the attackers said via Telegram that he received 5 thousand 400 dollars from people he did not know and that people he did not know provided the weapons.

The day of reckoning finally came for Sam-Bankman-Fried.
Judge Lewis A. Kaplan of the Southern District of New York court sentenced him to 300 months (25 years!)
“A man willing to flip a coin as to the continued existence of life on earth. Mr. Bankman-Fried knew that Alameda was spending customer funds on risky investments, political contributions and Bahamas real estate. The funds were not his to use.”
The billionaire crypto-bro SBF, second Democrat donor after only George Soros, came crashing down from glory to infamy after his crypto trading platform FTX went bankrupt in what prosecutors described as ‘one of the biggest financial frauds in American history’.
Jurors in his trial only needed three hours of deliberations to find Bankman-Fried guilty of all seven criminal counts.
SBF’s defense has proposed a prison term between five and six and a half years, because he is a vegan, good-natured do-gooder.
Prosecutors were not kidding around, seeking 40 to 50 years in prison, a sentence they say is warranted for someone who lied to investors and banks, and stole billions in deposits from customers.
Coming into sentencing things didn’t look good for SBF because tough-as-nails Judge Lewis A. Kaplan had already remanded him to prison pending trial for witness tampering.
The great Inner City Press live-tweeted from SDNY court, here you have some selected bits:
Judge Kaplan started out did not accept the defense claim that, because there is a plan by the FTX bankruptcy estate to pay costumers and creditors, that ‘there was no loss’ to them, a fact that defense thinks should lower his sentence.
“Judge Kaplan: I find the loss amount readily exceeds $550 million, the top tier [for sentencing]. I find investors lost $1.7 billion, lenders lost $1.3 billion, and customers, $8 billion.”
Then, there was the question of the obstruction of justice.
Judge Kaplan: “On obstruction of justice, I find that Mr. Bankman-Fried’s text to the former general counsel did in fact constitute attempted witness tampering. I make 3 perjury findings based on trial testimony
* he falsely testified that until the Fall of 2022 he had no knowledge that Alameda had spent FTX customer funds.
* He falsely testified that he first learned of the $8 billion in Oct 2022
* He falsely testified that repayment of third party loans by Alameda would require Alameda to borrow more customer funds from FTX.
The total offense level is 60 – once you cross 43, it cannot go higher. The guideline is life in prison. But the maximum is 1320 months in this case (151 years!)”
Victim Sunil Kavuri spoke in court:
“At least three people have committed suicide because of this FTX fraud. So when this FTX bankrutcy… I guess… What I feel, how it relates to Sam, it has hurt me, other co-conspirators, aiders and abetters, need to be held accountable”
Bankman-Fried’s defense came with the same old line of argument, and talked about his mom a lot: it was painful to read.
Mark Mukasey: “His mom says he is misunderstood. It is easy to slot people into an old fashioned story of the greedy swindler… Sam never scurried away with money. He stayed to the end. He’ll tell you more how much it means to him that people get repaid.”
SBF seemed at first that he’d drop the ‘smarter-than-thou’ attitude and show some contrition for the judge:
SBF: “I appreciate what Mark said about me. I don’t know that the most important thing today is my emotion life or hypothetical future kids.”
But no, he chose to ramble on and relitigate the whole case. Didn’t help himself.
SBF: “I made a lot of mistakes. But that’s not how the story ended. Customers weren’t paid back. FTX didn’t survive that. Yeah, customers have been given conflicting claims. That’s caused a lot of damage. They could have been paid back…”
SBF: “I can’t impact if I get 5 years or 40 years. I know how the prosecutors see me, the court, the media. I understand it. You referenced my test to the general counsel. I was trying to help – that’s not how the prosecutors saw it, the media, that’s that.”
The prosecution also had a say:
AUSA Nicolas Roos: “Samuel Bankman-Fried stole $8 billion dollars. It was theft, from customers spread all over the world. It was a loss that impacted people significantly and caused damage. I want to address a few of the new victim letters.”
Roos talked about many costumers’ letters whose lives were horribly impacted by FTX’s mishandling of their life savings.
“The defendant took $1.7 billion from investors – that alone necessitates a long sentence. Some get 40 or more years for that alone. There were also the loans, two lenders went bankrupt. That too justified, on its own, a severe sentence. Also one of the largest bribes. He committer perjury. It was pervasive.”
He would do it again: no acceptance of responsibility, the AUSA
“He did not swear off doing it again. He said there is an opportunity to relaunch FTX or an equivalent. That, I submit, tells the court exactly what could happen. A sentence is necessary here of at least 40 years so he will not do it again”
“The defendant is not a monster, but he committed gravely serious crimes that harmed many people – and he would consider doing it again. So, 40 to 50 years.”
The Judge talked about SBF’s background. “He said there was a five percent chance he’d be president one day. Indeed, this was a huge financial crime. He wanted to be a hugely politically influential person in his country. It wasn’t just the left end of the spectrum.”
He put up a fake stance on regulations, the Judge reminded us. He wanted power. Influence…
JK: “A man willing to flip a coin as to the continued existence of life on earth. Mr. Bankman-Fried knew that Alameda was spending customer funds on risky investments, political contributions and Bahamas real estate. The funds were not his to use. One of his pithier expression, I think, was “I f*cked up.” Mr. Bankman-Fried has the right to plead not guilty & go to trial. Everybody’s got that right and I don’t hold it against him. But I come back to Ms. Ellison’s testimony. He knew it was wrong. He’s not going to admit a thing. As is his right. Specific deterrence? His name is mud around the world. But he’s persistent and he’s a great marketing guy. Mr. Roos is right that the outlines of Sam Bankman-Fried’s revised version are clear.”
“On general deterrence, at the end of the day the criminal justice system thrives only if it’s seen as fair. People need to feel, It’s fair. Or we’re back to trial by combat, folks, or something like it. So punishment must fit the seriousness of the crime. And these. Were. Serious. Crimes. I know the Probation Department recommends 105 years, and the Government 40 to 50 years. That would be more than necessary.”
“I am not diminishing the harm. The brazenness of his actions. His exceptional flexibility with the truth. His apparent lack of any remorse. I want to add one further thought. I did not think it a fruitful use of time to spell out every lie – When not lying, he was evasive, hair splitting, trying to get the prosecutors to rephrase questions for him. I’ve been doing this job for close for 30 years. I’ve never seen a performance like that.”
“It is the judgment of the court that you are sentenced to 240 months then consecutive 60 [etc] for a total of 300 months [25 years].”
THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY – CHECK BACK FOR UPDATES.

Hearings in the Georgia RICO indictment against President Trump and 18 co-defendants are continuing today in an effort to dismiss the case after the judge ruled that Fani Willis can continue her political witchhunt against the leading Presidential candidate.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee ruled earlier this month, ignoring lies on the witness stand, that District Attorney Fani Wills can continue her RICO case against Trump and his associates.
In his 23-page decision, Judge McAfee ordered Fani Willis to address the “appearance of impropriety” before the case can move forward. McAfee ruled Willis can stay on the case but must fire her lover Nathan Wade, the top prosecutor she hired to hunt down Trump.
Nathan Wade resigned from the RICO case following this decision.
However, Judge McAfee announced last Wednesday that President Trump and his co-defendants could appeal the Fani Willis disqualification decision.
HUGE: Georgia Judge Allows Trump to Appeal Fani Willis Disqualification Decision
The Georgia Court of Appeals has 45 days to decide on any appeal to the judge’s disqualification order.
Now, attorneys for Trump and his 18 co-defendants are urging McAfee to dismiss the charges on the grounds that the indictments violate the First Amendment.
CNN reports,
For the first time since a judge ruled that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis can continue to oversee the Georgia 2020 election interference case against former President Donald Trump, the focus will return to the details of the sprawling case.
During a hearing Thursday, Trump’s lead attorney in Georgia is expected to argue that the indictment should be dismissed because the former president’s political speech is protected by the First Amendment.
In a motion filed in late 2023, before the unsuccessful efforts by defendants to disqualify Willis from the case emerged, Trump attorney Steve Sadow argued that the peddling of conspiracy theories and claims of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election were at their core political speech, and therefore Trump never should have been indicted.
“The core political speech and expressive conduct alleged in this indictment against President Trump are protected from government regulation and thus criminal prosecution by the State,” Sadow wrote.
According to further argues that “Criminalizing President Trump’s speech and advocacy disputing the outcome of the election—while speech endorsing the election’s outcome is viewed as unimpeachable—is thus blatant viewpoint discrimination.”
Sadow argued this morning that, “But for protected First Amendment speech, President Trump would not be charged in RICO or the other counts.” He continued, “Since that violates the Constitution as applied to the charges here, and his speech here, and his position here, this is ripe for a Constitutional challenge, and one step further, if it’s not ripe now, and we get into intent, when does the court determine that? Do you determine that after we have a trial?”
Trump attorney Steven Sadow argues for tossing out the Georgia election interference case on First Amendment grounds at a pretrial hearing:
“The reason why we don’t even get to a trial is because it’s unconstitutional to force an accused … to stand trial on protected speech.” pic.twitter.com/tO4NtNBshw

Jon Stewart recently had some choice words regarding Trump and his ongoing fraud case, despite the case ridiculously being ruled by summary judgment.
What if I told you that Jon HIMSELF may have engaged in similar behavior? Not shocking coming from the side of the aisle that continues to project their insecurities and crimes on the other side – Elijah Schaffer discusses more on today’s Beyond the Headlines.

Investigators are now telling us it could take 24 months to find answers surrounding one of the worst maritime crashes in American History. This is as we learn an elite Coast Guard team is inspecting 13 Centers for Disease Control containers that were on board labeled with the warning “Hazardous Materials.” This raises all kinds of questions. Why is the CDC sending Hazmat containers to Sir Lanka? That is where the Dali was headed when it left the Port of Baltimore before crashing into the Scott Key Francis Bridge.
Investigative Reporter Lara Logan is also sounding the alarm. Her sources insist the crash could have been part of a cyber attack designed to bring the economy to a halt.
Also, the ship’s operator, Synergy Marine, has an in-depth Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion program. DEI is now at the forefront of the culture wars and may be responsible for the increasing transportation safety issues we are seeing across the country.

It’s no secret that the American people are more concerned about crime and safety than almost any point in the last 30 years. Headlines are dominated by acts of violence and lawlessness, instilling fear, panic, and anger in the hearts of many hardworking citizens.
The leftwing defund the police battle cry has been totally destructive. However, those of us who really want public safety should not pretend all our policing strategies are perfect.
Our nation’s public safety systems are not immune from the bloat, waste, and ineffectiveness that naturally grows in massive government operations.
The federal supervised release system is a glaring example of such government bloat. Originally conceived as a mechanism to ensure accountability of individuals exiting federal prison – and guide their safe reintegration into society – this system has followed the typical trajectory of government programs. It has ballooned to triple its size over the last quarter-century. It now drains $500 million from taxpayers each year.
Our public safety return on this colossal investment is a system that squanders resources monitoring those who pose no threat – and neglects keeping a close eye on high-risk individuals. It also destabilizes communities and leaves them exposed to crime. In fact, the federal supervised release system doesn’t work for anyone – those under supervision, officers, the economy, or law-abiding citizens.
Hard data supports this disappointing picture. Long supervision sentences often lead to poorer public safety outcomes. This leaves us all more vulnerable. Something must change.
The bipartisan Safer Supervision Act is one solution. This legislation is a crucial step towards reducing the size of government, safeguarding economic freedom, and enhancing public safety – all of which are core conservative principles.
Consider this real-life example from the current broken system. Almost two decades ago, Daniel Lynn Brown was convicted of drug charges. He served 15 years and was released under the First Step Act, which President Donald Trump signed into law. He was placed on 10-year federal supervision, which began in April of 2020.
Nearly four years later, Brown has committed zero violations. He’s also maintained full-time employment as a project manager at a construction company, purchased two homes, and been a devoted father to his five children.
Yet, Brown remains under federal supervision. He’s not allowed to travel without approval from his probation officer – which has led him to turn down numerous work opportunities, including a “dream job” helping ex-prisoners turn their lives around. Random drug testing and check-ins with his probation officer take him away from work and family obligations. Despite posing no public safety risk, Brown remains trapped in an ever-expanding government bureaucracy.
Browns’ experience flies in the face of basic conservative values. The government exists to keep us safe and protect our rights. Keeping Brown on needless federal supervision does neither. Instead, it wastes our tax dollars and keeps him from reaching his full potential.
Under the Safer Supervision Act, Daniel would have a clear path off of supervision at the halfway point of his term. He would receive guidance on how to request early termination, whether he qualified for presumptive early termination based on his good conduct and compliance, the factors weighed by the court, and the ability to request legal counsel, if needed.
This streamlined process, with clear standards for, or against, early termination, would better safeguard law enforcement resources and reduce wasteful spending – all while incentivizing good behavior, compliance with conditions, and rehabilitation.
Moreover, under the Safer Supervision Act, courts would conduct individualized assessments for each person placed on federal supervision. This would ensure that the government only imposes this sentence when a legitimate public safety interest is served and with conditions that keep communities protected. This would help shift compliance toward a meaningful measure of rehabilitation and success, rather than simply an exercise in arbitrary and complex rule-following.
As President Ronald Reagan said in his 1985 State of the Union address, “Every dollar the federal government does not take from us, every decision it does not make for us will make our economy stronger, our lives more abundant, our future more free.” President Reagan was right then and now. I’d add to his remarks that every dollar we don’t throw away supervising people such as Brown is a dollar that could be spent protecting Americans from real danger.
This is why the Safer Supervision Act has earned the endorsement of the Federal Law Enforcement Officer Association. Unlike Department of Justice bureaucrats, these men and women are focused on protecting crime victims, encouraging rehabilitation, and seeing that people become productive, law-abiding members of society. These officers’ caseloads can sometimes exceed 100 cases per officer – about 50 percent higher than recommended. They know better than anyone how the current system wastes time and resources.
Across the country, conservative leaders have been fighting for commonsense reforms that keep the peace and rein in big government. Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry signed legislation that helped low-risk, nonviolent offenders find paths to rehabilitation. The result was a 29 percent drop in crime and a more than $2 billion-savings in prison costs. Oklahoma and Missouri both shrunk their prison populations by creating similar pathways to redemption for low-risk offenders.
It’s little wonder that conservative leaders at the federal level are champions for the Safer Supervision Act. Congressmen Wesley Hunt, Burgess Owens, and Byron Daniels; Sens. John Cornyn and Mike Lee; and more support this bill.
With a national election on the horizon, passing the Safer Supervision Act would send a clear message: When it comes to keeping Americans safe and cutting government waste, conservatives mean business.
I urge you to contact your Senators and Member of Congress and tell them to pass the Safer Supervision Act.

The top US intelligence agency sent out a list recently of banned terms that may be offensive to some Americans.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) is responsible for handling the country’s spy apparatus.
The list released by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) includes terms like “jihadists” and “radical Islamists” that may be offensive to all Muslims… Wait, what?
So this is the type of crap our government is promoting? What then is the proper term for an Islamist who shoots innocent men, women and children in a theater? …Or raids a dance party and slaughters 370 innocent young adults and kids dancing at a rave?
Adam Kredo at The Washington Free Beacon reported:
The United States’ top intelligence agency wants to ban its spies from using “biased language,” including the terms “radical Islamists” and “jihadist,” saying these words “are hurtful to Muslim-Americans and detrimentally impact our efforts as they bolster extremist rhetoric,” according to a language guide published internally.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), which is responsible for handling the country’s spy apparatus, seeks to ban a range of common terms because it says they offend Muslims and foment racism against employees. In addition to terms describing Islamic terrorists, ODNI instructs employees to avoid phrases such as “blacklisted,” “cakewalk,” “brown bag,” “grandfathered,” and “sanity check.”
“Blacklisted,” for instance, “implies black is bad and white is good,” while “cakewalk” is said to refer “to a dance performed by slaves for slave owners on plantation grounds.” “Brown bag,” a term most often used to describe a paper bag that holds one’s lunch, actually “refers to the ‘brown bag’ test practices in the 20th century within the African American community,” according to ODNI, which outlined these terms in an internal magazine produced by the agency’s Office of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility.
The document, which was first reported by the Daily Wire is the latest example of how Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives inside the American government are reshaping how employees speak to one another and perform their national security jobs. Critics describe these programs as part of a “woke” cultural shift promoted by far-left activists and their allies in the Biden administration. Republicans in Congress are looking to strip millions in federal funding for DEI programs across the military and other agencies, arguing they fundamentally harm the country’s national security operations across the globe.

A spokesperson for the New York Office of Court Administration said President Trump lashed out at Judge Juan Merchan’s daughter based on a social media account that no longer belongs to her.
President Trump on Wednesday said the daughter of the far-left judge who just hit him with a gag order in the Stormy Daniels ‘hush payment’ case posted a photo of him behind bars.
Trump called on NY Judge Juan Merchan to recuse himself after his daughter who represents “Crooked Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Adam “Shifty” Schiff, and other Radical Liberals,” posted a picture of him in jail.
An X account that Trump alleged belonged to Loren Merchan (The Gateway Pundit was unable to confirmed it was her account) posted a photo of Trump behind bars. The photo has since been changed to a picture of Kamala Harris.
Trump’s lawyers previously moved to force Judge Merchan to recuse himself after it was revealed his daughter Loren Merchan worked with the Biden-Harris campaign.
On Wednesday Trump went off on the judge in a series of Truth Social posts and called for him to recuse himself from the case after accusing his daughter of posting a photo of him in jail.
“Judge Juan Merchan, who is suffering from an acute case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (whose daughter represents Crooked Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Adam “Shifty” Schiff, and other Radical Liberals, has just posted a picture of me behind bars, her obvious goal, and makes it completely impossible for me to get a fair trial) has now issued another illegal, un-American, unConstitutional “order,” as he continues to try and take away my Rights. This Judge, by issuing a vicious “Gag Order,” is wrongfully attempting to deprive me of my First Amendment Right to speak out against the Weaponization of Law Enforcement, including the fact that Crooked Joe Biden, Merrick Garland, and their Hacks and Thugs are tracking and following me all across the Country, obsessively trying to persecute me, while everyone knows I have done nothing wrong!” Trump said on Wednesday.
In a bizarre twist, a spokesperson for the court said the X account no longer belongs to Juan Merchan’s daughter.
So who is running the account?
“The X, formerly Twitter, account being attributed to Judge Merchan’s daughter no longer belongs to her since she deleted it approximately a year ago,” state OCA spokesperson Al Baker said in a statement to The Hill on Thursday.
“It is not linked to her email address, nor has she posted under that screenname since she deleted the account,” Baker continued. “Rather, it represents the reconstitution, last April, and manipulation of an account she long ago abandoned.”
According to The Spectator, analysis of the Twitter ID reveals Loren Merchan changed her Twitter name.
“Analysis of the Twitter ID associated with the account shows that Judge Juan Merchan’s daughter Loren’s known Twitter account, that she has used since 2016, had its name changed and was set private at some point last spring,” The Spectator reported.
“The same Twitter ID associated with Loren Merchan’s original Twitter account name, @LorenM426, is now attached to a new name, @LorenM0604, that has a profile picture of Loren Merchan, the same number of followers and posts as the account created in 2016, viewable in archives of the account. It is unclear who runs this account.” The Spectator said.
It is unclear why Loren Merchan changed her Twitter name.
It is also unclear who runs the new X account that used to belong to Loren Merchan.

“Together with the 11 House impeachment managers, I sent a letter to Senator Schumer telling him we’ll deliver the articles of Secretary Mayorkas’ impeachment to the Senate on April 10th and that he must hold a full trial,” Speaker Johnson said.
“The American people deserve accountability,” he added.

The American people demanded that Congress hold Mayorkas accountable for violating immigration laws and his oath.
The resolution, H. Res. 863, accused Secretary Mayorkas of high crimes and misdemeanors, setting the stage for a contentious vote in the House of Representatives.
Specifically, the two articles contained in the resolution accuse Mayorkas of “willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law” in enforcing border policy and “breach of public trust.”
Last month Alejandro Mayorkas was impeached in the House of Representatives by a vote of 214 to 213. Mayorkas was the first cabinet secretary to be impeached in nearly 150 years and the first sitting cabinet secretary in history to be impeached.
More than 11 million illegals – mainly military-age males – have invaded the US on Joe Biden’s open border invitation.
As Mayorkas faced impeachment for overseeing the invasion, he blamed Climate Change for the flood of illegals.

Per Fox 5 Atlanta:
Music producer and rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs purchased his swanky $40 million Los Angeles estate in 2014.
Located in the lavish neighborhood of Holmby Hills, the home measures 17,000 square feet and has a 3,000 square-foot guesthouse, according to TMZ.
The European-style villa has a 35-seat theater, a gym, a wine room and even has an underwater swimming tunnel which connects to a grotto, the Los Angeles Times reported.
The mansion is fairly new; built in 2014, it comes with eight bedrooms and 11 bathrooms. There’s also a separate spa house which comes with a steam room, massage room and a beauty salon, TMZ reported.
The Miami Herald reported that federal agents had confiscated electronic devices at Combs’ home and detained his associates while conducting the raid.
In a separate raid in Florida, one of Diddy’s associates, Brendon Paul, who is referred to as Diddy’s “drug mule” in the sex trafficking lawsuit, was arrested by Miami-Dade Police at the Opa-Locka airport on Monday

There were allegations aplenty at a Wednesday hearing on the federal tax charges against Hunter Biden, but what bothered U.S. District Judge Mark Scarsi was the paucity of facts connecting the charges with efforts by congressional Republicans to probe the murky depths of the Biden family’s finances.
Although Scarsi did not make a decision, he signaled in the Los Angeles hearing that defense arguments that the Biden administration’s Justice Department was doing former President Donald Trump’s bidding were not persuasive, according to CNN.
Scarsi, who is dealing with nine motions from Hunter Biden’s attorneys, said he would issue a ruling by April 17, according to The Washington Post.
One motion claiming “selective and vindictive” prosecution appeared to irk the judge.
“One of the big hurdles that this motion has is that it’s not filed with any evidence,” Scarsi said.
He said the facts will win the day, not the politics surrounding the case.
“We are just looking at the facts and law,” the judge said. “All of the aspersions cast off one another just roll off.”
If Scarsi rules against Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden’s son will go to trial in June. There is also the option to make a deal with prosecutors, but the last deal made with Hunter Biden blew up in July in spectacular fashion, lighting off the chain of events that brought his attorneys to court on Wednesday in California.
Biden attorney Abbe Lowell said it was wrong that after prosecutors initially charged the president’s son with misdemeanors in a plea deal that drew outrage from Republicans, he should face three felony charges now as well as six misdemeanors.
Lowell said the tougher charges are proof that special prosecutor David Weiss, who as the U.S. attorney for Delaware led the initial Hunter Biden probe that ended with misdemeanor charges, gave into a public pressure campaign orchestrated by congressional Republicans.
Scarsi asked the attorney for anything more than timing to connect those dots.
“It’s a timeline,” Lowell said. “But it’s a juicy timeline.”
Prosecutor Leo Wise said once the plea deal collapsed, the Justice Department was not bound by its terms.
The hearing also batted about an immunity deal that was part of the initial agreement to settle tax and gun charges against Hunter Biden, which Biden’s lawyers claim should still be in effect.
However, as noted by the New York Post, neither the judge who had to approve the deal nor Delaware Chief U.S. Probation Officer Margaret Bray ever signed the agreement, which former Biden defense attorney Christopher Clark called “null and void.”
Wise said Biden’s team “flipped” its position, not the government.
“There was a good faith belief that Mr. Biden was going to plead guilty,” he said.
Scarsi appeared puzzled by the deal, asking at one point, “Why would he plead guilty if he had immunity?”

The legislature passed a similar bill last year, which Kelly also vetoed.
Despite a Republican supermajority, the legislature failed to override Kelly’s veto on that bill and one that would have protected girls’ sports by barring biological males from competing against them.
The Hill reports:
The state Senate on Wednesday passed this year’s bill, Senate Bill 233, with a veto-proof majority, while the House, which advanced the measure in an 82-39 party-line vote, fell slightly short. Two House Republicans that were absent for Wednesday’s vote — state Reps. Michael Houser and Samantha Poetter Parshall — have previously voted in favor of the legislation and would give the House the two-thirds majority needed to override a veto.
If Republicans succeed in overriding a likely veto from Kelly, Kansas will be the 25th state to ban gender-affirming care for minors, and the third to do so this year. Laws restricting access to care in at least four states are not currently being enforced because they are tied up in the courts.
“Today, the Senate took a firm stand in support of helping and not harming children by making it clear that radical transgender ideology and the mutilation of minors is not legal nor welcome in Kansas,” state Senate President Ty Masterson said in a statement after the vote.
It remains unclear if the Republicans can rally enough votes to override another veto.

The establishment media have really been scraping the bottom of the barrel this election, in their desperate search for mud to fling at their arch-nemesis Donald Trump.
From the wailing and gnashing of teeth that ensued when Trump’s half-a-billion dollar bond was reduced to $175 million by the New York appellate court, to the pearl clutching over the willful misunderstanding of Trump’s “bloodbath” metaphor, the establishment media types have been tying themselves in knots in their quest to smear Trump’s name.
And now, The Washington Post has increased its contribution to this embarrassing enterprise by trying to manufacture some conflict between Trump and his wife, Melania.
The Post began the attempt right in the title, which alleged that “Trump’s mother-in-law came into the country by a process he derided.”
What exactly did The Post mean by this headline?
Based on an analysis of immigration records released on Monday, The Post was able to track the steps by which Trump’s mother-in-law, Amalija Knavs, who died in January at the age of 78, came into the country.
The Post reported that Knavs was able to enter the country and eventually become a citizen thanks to the family-based process of immigration which, the Post noted, Trump publicly spoke out against and sought to overhaul during the course of his presidency.
Meaning, as The Post explained, according to United States law dating back to 1965, citizens can apply for their parents or minor children to come into the country without a lengthy visa waiting period.
According to the recently released records, Melania Trump did just that for her parents in 1997, and then again when her parents applied for green cards in 2008. Legal permanent residency was granted on March 16, 2010. Knavs and her husband, Viktor, didn’t became U.S. citizens until Aug. 9, 2018.
Clearly, then, what The Post tried to imply was that, had Trump been president in the late 90’s or early 2000’s, then his in-laws could never have become citizens and, therefore, Mr. and Mrs. Trump cannot be in harmony with each other as a result.
What The Post missed, however, was that Trump never had anything against immigration in and of itself..
For one, if Trump and his wife ever clashed over thse issues, they presumably dealt with those issues, and subsequently moved on from them, years ago.
For another, what Trump objected to, as president and as a presidential candidate, were the illegal methods of immigration, and the breakdown of a process that once worked, but now has been abused by bad actors to allow unacceptable levels of chain migration.
Trump, via the RAISE Act, wanted to limit this family sponsorship to spouses and minor children, removing parents from the fast track of sponsorship and instating a system that would prioritize skilled workers.
As The Federalist explained at the time, had this act passed, it would have reformed U.S. immigration to follow similar systems that had been standard in countries like Canada and Australia for years.
The point of the bill was not to eliminate the United States’ immigration processes, but to reform them.
What The Post failed to understand was that Trump, and, indeed, conservatives in general, were actually pro-immigration.
Instead, conservatives’ stance on immigration has been to prioritize those immigrants that would be materially good for the United States, and who would actively benefit American society.
Of course, legitimate asylum requests did not fall under that stipulation, but overall, that is what differentiated the conservative position on immigration from that of the left.
Those on the left have been actively advocating for allowing immigrants who are actively harmful to American society, as the tragic series of murders and assaults of American citizens has sadly demonstrated.
And that was what the Post failed to understand in its weak attempt to pit Trump and his wife against each other.
Conservatives never hated immigration.
What Trump and conservatives hated was illegal immigration.

House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) on Thursday *invited* Joe Biden to testify before his committee on his family’s influence peddling scheme.

The Committee has identified no legitimate services to merit such lucrative payments. You have repeatedly denied playing any role in your family’s business activities, but the Committee has amassed evidence—including bank records and witness testimony—that wholly contradicts your position on these matters,” Comer wrote in a letter to Joe Biden.
Comer called Biden out for taking money from China.
“You have asserted your family has not made money from China. However, the Committee has identified approximately $10 million originating from China connected to Biden influence peddling. Former business associates of your family have testified that you personally met with multiple individuals from China who have collectively sent millions of dollars to your family. Many of these meetings and business development occurred while you were Vice President or campaigning to be President,” Comer said.
James Comer said Biden needs to answer for pressuring Ukraine to fire Viktor Shokin, the solicitor general who was investigating the Ukrainian gas company tied to Hunter Biden.
“You have asserted that your pressuring Ukraine in 2015 to fire a government official investigating a company in which your son had a financial interest was wholly in line with U.S. policy. The Committee has received bank records showing that your son was paid $1 million per year for his position on the board of the Ukrainian company Burisma until you left public office and then his salary was inexplicably cut in half. Additionally, the Committee has been obstructed by the White House regarding information necessary to evaluate action you took regarding the firing of the Ukrainian government official,” Comer said.
Chairman Comer called Biden out for his business dealings with Russia.
“You have asserted that you “never talked business” with your family’s business associates. However, the Committee has received testimony that you in fact regularly joined meetings by speakerphone, including with certain Russian individuals with whom your son did business. The Committee has identified several instances in which your involvement aligned with your family receiving money originating from Russia,” Comer said.
Comer added, “In February 2014, the richest woman in Russia paid into your son and his business associate’s company $3.5 million days before the Russian invasion of Ukraine, in an apparent attempt to avoid U.S. sanctions on Russian bank accounts. To date, the Russian oligarch has not been subject to any public sanctions.”
The Oversight Committee said it is open to accommodating Biden’s schedule but proposed April 16, 2024 for the hearing to occur.
“President Biden must answer questions about his participation in his family’s pay-for-influence schemes,” Comer said.

“The View” co-host Sunny Hostin was demolished Wednesday by writer and author Coleman Hughes after she accused him of being a “pawn” and “charlatan.”
Hughes was on “The View” to promote his book “The End Of Race Policies.” He argues in his literary work for a color-blind society centered on treating people “without regard to race.” Instead, he stresses the importance of using economics to better understand and help disadvantaged Americans.
Hughes emphasized these arguments throughout the segment. He also criticized the push on young people that “race is everything” and woke education under questioning from Whoopi Goldberg, who claimed race-based teachings were handed down to the younger generations because people like herself were never “educated” on racism.
“I think I view this notion of a colorblind society, similar to the idea of a peaceful society, which is to say it’s an ideal, it’s a North Star, said Hughes. “And the point is not that we’re never gonna get there, we’ll never touch it, but we have to know when we’re going forward and when we’re going backward, and we’re going backward when we’re doing woke kindergarten in San Francisco.”
He surprisingly received applause from the liberal audience for his politically incorrect statements.
Things were tense but civil until Hostin began her disgraceful interrogation of Hughes. Hostin, who was shocked to learn last month that her ancestors owned slaves, slammed Hughes’s commonsense and righteous advocacy as “fundamentally flawed” and falsely claimed that race is baked into socioeconomic disparity.
Hughes disagreed vehemently, saying a “Bill of Rights for the disadvantaged” based on what Dr. Martin Luther King pushed serves as a good plan to help all impoverished Americans.
Hostin proceeded to call Hughes a liar, claiming King pushed reparations while touting her friendship with King’s daughter, Bernice. She then personally attacked him as a charlatan and a pawn for conservatives.
“I think the premise is fundamentally flawed, said Hostin.” You claim that color blindness was the goal of the civil rights movement based upon Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech. You know, content of character versus color of skin. Bernice, Dr. King’s daughter points out that four years after giving that speech actually, Dr. King also said this, “A society that has done something special against the Negro for hundreds of years must now do something special for negroes.” He also said in 1968, it was about less than a week before he was assassinated, “This country never stops to realize that they owe a people kept in slavery for 244 years.”
“So, rather than class, he did write about that earlier on,” she continued. “Right before his death, he made the argument for racial equality and racial reparations, and so your argument for color-blindness, I think, is something that the right has co-opted. And so many in the black community – if I’m being honest with you because I want to be, believe that you are being used as a pawn by the right and that you’re a charlatan of sorts.”

There are just a couple of problems: Hughes is not a conservative nor a Republican. Yet Hostin proceeded to embarrass herself by insisting he was one for the next several seconds even after RINO “The View” co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin attempted to correct her multiple times.
Once Hughes finally got the opportunity to speak again, he turned the tables and started dominating the conversation. He stuck to his guns regarding a colorblind society and slapped down Hostin’s lies regarding him being co-opted. He also pointed out King wanted a bill of rights for a broad class-based society.
“I think it’s very important,” Hughes said. “The quote that you just pointed out about doing something special for the Negro, that’s from the book Why We Can’t Wait that I just mentioned. A couple paragraphs later he lays out exactly what that something special was and it was the bill of rights for the disadvantaged, a broad class-based policy.”
“I don’t think I’ve been co-opted by anyone,” Hughes continued. “I’ve only voted twice, both for a Democrats. Although, I’m an independent.”
“I think that’s an ad hominem tactic people use to not address, really, the important conversations we’re having here…I have an independent podcast. I work for CNN as an analyst. I write for the Free Press. I’m independent in all of these endeavors and no one is paying me to say what I’m saying. I’m saying it because I feel it.”
Hostin could barely get in more than a few words in response to Hughes’s calm evisceration before Whoopi Goldberg cut her off.

Democrats continue to make a mockery of our elections, and Chicago Democrats even cheat on each other.
Miraculously, during ballot counting for the Democrat primary results for Cook County state’s attorney, Chicago announced the existence of an additional 10,000 mail-in ballots that were “mistakenly” not mentioned until it became clear that Eileen O’Neill Burke was leading radical neo-Marxist candidate Clayton Harris III by just under 4,800 votes.
It’s just a coincidence.

That’s why we’ve expanded early voting, curbside voting, and made the vote-by-mail registry permanent to protect your fundamental right.”

Shortly after the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed, former fraud investigator and veteran Jimmy Corsetti took to X and pointed out that in Obama’s new Netflix movie “Leave the World Behind” there is a scene where a massive cargo ship crashes into the beach after losing power from a cyber attack.
Corsetti added in the thread that the cargo ship in the movie was named the “White Lion” and highlighted that the country of Sri Lanka has a lion on its national flag.
He then noted the Dali cargo ship was en route to Sri Lanka before it tragically crashed into the Key bridge.

In response to Corsetti’s theory, Matt Walsh released a video explaining how the scene in Obama’s movie was just a “coincidence.”
Walsh stated, “It is very, very stupid to theorize that Obama coordinated a cargo ship’s collision with a bridge and for some reason left a trail of clues for right-wingers on Twitter to discover.”
“This is the kind of goober bullsh*t that makes the whole movement look dumb and unserious,” added Walsh.

In response to Walsh’s video, Corsetti responded, “You should question Why former POTUS bizarrely chose to Produce/Consult a movie related to a doomsday cyber attack.”
He continued, “Symbolism/foreshadowing is used by sinister factions more than you may realize.”
Here’s the scene of Obama’s movie both Corsetti and Walsh were referring to:

Politicians, especially those who have been gifted by voters with the right to occupy the Oval Office for a term or two, often make huge sums afterward with books.
The online site Brooksy, for example, now lists the “10 best books on President Obama.” Not the 10 books on his presidency … the 10 BEST books.
Joe Biden’s legacy, however, is moving another direction, after a major publisher abruptly canceled its plans for a book about his term in office.
A report at Politico notes in a “further reflection of the soft market for books about President Joe Biden, publisher Simon and Schuster has withdrawn its contract with Alex Thompson, Axios’ national political correspondent, for a book about the Biden administration.”
SCOOP: In another sign of the soft Biden book market, Simon and Schuster has withdrawn its contract with Axios’ Alex Thompson for a book about the Biden administration, two sources told me.

it’s true.
But still writing it and aiming for 2025 to tell the story of the Biden presidency.

The project was supposed to be published early this year, and likely would have been a benefit to Biden’s attempt to gain control of the White House for another four years.
Plans were for it to be “a comprehensive book on Biden’s presidency.”
The report explained, “Simon and Schuster’s decision comes as a series of Biden books have sold relatively poorly — compared, at least, to the standards set by a number of best-sellers about predecessor DONALD TRUMP. Thompson is now actively engaged in talks with other publishers and is still working on the draft, according to a person close to him.”
It continued, “GABRIEL DEBENEDETTI’s ‘The Long Alliance’ has sold around 1,500 hardcover copies, according to NPD BookScan, while CHRIS WHIPPLE’s ‘The Fight of His Life’ has sold around 5,000 and FRANKLIN FOER‘s ‘The Last Politician’ around 12,000. That compares to the nearly 1 million copies that MICHAEL WOLFF’s Trump-focused ‘Fire and Fury’ sold, also per NPD BookScan, and the more than 400,000 copies sold of BOB WOODWARD and ROBERT COSTA’s ‘Peril.'”
A report at the Post Millennial cited the “lack of market interest” in a Biden book.
“People don’t buy Biden books,” the report explained.

Pro-Trump electors in Arizona pleaded the Fifth before a grand jury as Democrat Attorney General Kris Mayes decides whether to bring criminal charges.
Arizona’s Democrat Attorney General Kris Mayes admitted last year she is investigating Trump’s 2020 alternate electors from Arizona.
Mayes’ office knew the alternate electors were going to invoke their Fifth Amendment rights but she made them appear before a grand jury anyway. This is a highly unusual and risky move.
The Fifth Amendment allows a person to exercise their right to remain silent to protect against self-incrimination.
Democrat prosecutors requiring the Pro-Trump alternate electors to plead the Fifth before a grand jury could unnecessarily prejudice the grand jurors.
Although the Fifth Amendment is not an admission of guilt, grand jurors may assume the pro-Trump alternate electors are guilty.
“The prosecutors’ decision to require these people to appear in person is the latest escalation of the long-running probe by the state’s attorney general, Kris Mayes, into election interference by Trump allies. The tactic is also highly unusual and risks biasing the grand jury against key targets of the probe, according to independent legal experts who have worked as both prosecutors and defense lawyers.” Politico reported.
“If the grand jury charges them, it could even provide a longshot basis for the targets to challenge the indictment,” Politico said.
“But prosecutors working for Mayes have required some of the false electors they’re investigating to physically appear before the grand jury and formally assert their Fifth Amendment rights — despite the fact that their defense lawyers told prosecutors they would take that step, according to two people familiar with the probe who were granted anonymity to share the details on the sensitive investigation,” the magazine reported.
When the Democrats cast alternate electors it’s called ‘dueling electors.’ When the Republicans cast alternate electors it’s called ‘fake electors’ and indictments come down from crooked Democrat attorneys general.
Democrat prosecutors in other states are also targeting Trump’s alternate electors.
In July Democrat Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel criminally charged 16 dueling ‘Trump electors’ in the state’s 2020 election.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis recently indicted three of Trump’s alternate electors in Georgia as part of her RICO and conspiracy case against Trump.

Leave it the ladies of “The View” to take the most hysterical interpretation of every utterance or action Donald Trump’s.
And on Wednesday, the ladies of “The View” were downright apoplectic upon learning of Trump’s new endeavor in selling, with country singer Lee Greenwood, his “God Bless the USA” bibles.
These Bibles, as The Hill explained in their story on the subject, cost about $60 each.
They included the King James translation of the Bible, copies of the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, the Constitution, the Pledge of Allegiance, and a handwritten verse of Greenwood’s song, “God Bless the USA.”
Now, while Trump has not generally been the most flawless example of good Christian living, and his initial announcement was somewhat awkward, he should at least be applauded for his attempt to “make America pray again.”
The ladies of “The View,” however, did not share this sentiment — in fact, they thought quite the opposite.
As shown in this snippet of the show shared by the Daily Caller, co-host Sunny Hostin even thought the whole enterprise was “blasphemous.”
Sunny Hostin says that Trump selling bibles is “blasphemous”. pic.twitter.com/KzfaZ3ErM4
— Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) March 28, 2024
Hostin began by joking, “You know, it’s Holy Week, and so I cannot say what I would like to say.”
Joy Behar, the co-host who has seemingly been in a competition with Whoopi Goldberg to embarrass herself the most times on television, then chimed in with her two cents.
Behar said, “There’s an old saying. … It’s a historical saying, that … ‘When fascism comes to America, it will be waving a flag and holding a Bible.'”
She then told the audience, “take a look” at the screen behind them, which dutifully displayed the famous picture of Trump hugging the flag together with another of Trump holding a Bible.
… And?
Many people have waved flags and held Bibles without being fascists, what exactly was her point?
Besides, Behar didn’t even remember the quotation correctly.
The quotation actually was, “When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross,” said to have come from author Sinclair Lewis.
Although, as fact-checking website Snopes noted, it did not actually appear in any of his writings.
Never mind that the most famous fascists, Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini, were quite areligious, even anti-religious (especially Hitler, seeing as Catholic priests and nuns were sent to the gas chambers along with the Jews).
Alas, though, the ladies of “The View” were not quite finished.
Behar ended her point, claiming “that is what we are looking at right now. Remember that in November.”
And Hostin threw in, as the last word, “It’s blasphemous!”
The crowning irony was that the ladies of “The View” have been arguably worse examples of good Christian living than Trump himself.
To begin with, all of them have been vocal in their support of abortion, a morally reprehensible position antithetical to Christian teaching, as well as for gay marriage.
Further, Behar once created outrage by calling strong Christian faith a “mental illness” on “The View” in 2018, and her co-host Hostin once made the blasphemous claim that “Jesus would be the grand marshal of the Pride Parade.”
And that was all to say nothing of the sick anti-Christian message Goldberg sported on her sweatshirt in the wake of the shooting at the Nashville Christian school, her unhinged rants accusing everyone and everything of racism (except Hitler, bizarrely), and her siding with a guest on the show who compared the “Christian right” to the Taliban.
Trump might not be the best Christian example out there in public life, but comparatively, he has been leagues ahead of the ladies on “The View.”
The ladies of “The View” had no room to talk when it came to the question of being a good Christian.

The ladies of "The View" were downright apoplectic upon learning that Donald Trump is selling Bibles bundled with the founding documents.
Popular conservative Kari Lake forfeited her right to defense in a defamation case brought against her by controversial Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer.
Lake released a video statement explaining her decision to forfeit the case. “By participating in this lawsuit, it would only serve to legitimize this perversion of our legal system and allow bad actors to interfere in our upcoming election,” Lake said. “So, I won’t be taking part.”
The political elite will do anything to hold onto power and STOP outsiders like me– they’ve resorted to filing a ludicrous defamation lawsuit to try to stop me and bleed me dry.
Taking part in this lawfare just legitimizes it
Instead, I will continue to focus on the issues… pic.twitter.com/uE7udsWyKx
— Kari Lake (@KariLake) March 26, 2024
Lake was outraged after Richer and Maricopa officials failed in their duties after 59% of the county precincts suffered machine failure on Election Day in November 2022. This impacted Republican voters on Election Day in a race Lake was leading in the polls by 10 percent.
The election officials then discovered 25,000 extra ballots days after the election was over but before they finished counting ballots.
This is what we are supposed to accept as a free and fair election in America today.
Kari Lake on Thursday decided to concede in the lawfare defamation case brought against her by fake “Republican” Stephen Richer and Protect Democracy – a far-left group of Obama-linked henchmen who are trying to silence all election critics on the right. The group also represents Ruby and her daughter Shae in the lawfare suits against Rudy Giuliani and Jim and Joe Hoft and The Gateway Pundit.
CNN reported
A Lake spokesperson said in a statement that “Kari didn’t surrender” in the case, “she simply cut-to-the-chase, demanding a hearing in 30 days, and proof of how her words (under the First Amendment) caused damages to Richer.”
Lake’s decision not to further engage in the lawsuit comes as the former local TV anchor looks to court more moderate voters in what is expected to be a highly competitive and critical contest to succeed retiring Sen. Kyrsten Sinema in November. Sinema, who was elected as a Democrat in 2018, registered as an independent in 2022 but continues to caucus with her former party in the Senate.

While Baltimore and the nation are dealing with the collapse on Tuesday of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore Harbor following the allision of the Dali cargo ship into a support beam that resulted in the blocking of a major port and hazmat/commuter route (I-695), open borders advocates and some in the media are weaponizing the tragic deaths of the six road workers killed in the incident to score political points.
A crew of eight men filling potholes on the bridge were reportedly on a break in their cars parked on the bridge when the Dali struck at 1:27 a.m. EDT. One of the victims is said to have lived in the United States for 19 years, another for 17 years, however all six have been referred to in press reports as ‘migrants’ or ‘immigrants’ from Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras. The immigration status of the men has not been generally reported, however Voice of America reported one entered the U.S. illegally.
Of the two workers who survived and were rescued soon after the bridge fell, one was hospitalized and has since been released, while the second is reported to have refused being taken to the hospital. Two bodies have been recovered and four are still missing.

A common theme used by advocates was that the immigrant workers died doing a job that Americans will not do.
Journalist Geraldo Rivera posted on X Twitter, “…the migrants were doing a dirty, dangerous job no citizen wanted…”
“When the Key Bridge collapsed at 1:27am Tuesday morning, an overnight road crew filling potholes on the bridge died with it.-The crew consisted of 6 apparently Undocumented Hispanic Immigrants, aka Illegal Aliens, from Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador.-They drowned in the cold, murky water of Baltimore Harbor. -There was no outrage from conservative media about them stealing jobs from citizens; because, as they often do, the migrants were doing a dirty, dangerous job no citizen wanted. An estimated 1/3 of our nation’s construction workers are undocumented immigrants. -According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2022 316 foreign-born, mostly undocumented Hispanic construction workers perished on the job.-Say their names. Maynor, Miguel, Dorlian, José, Alejandro.”

They came to the United States for a chance at a better life. They found work filling pot holes on a bridge in the middle of the night, and they ended up dead in the Baltimore harbor.
The six victims of the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse were all immigrants from Mexico and Central America, doing the kind of grueling work that many immigrants take on, when a container ship crashed into a support pillar at 1:30 a.m. EST (sic) on Tuesday and sent them plunging into the icy Patapsco River.
Divers pulled the bodies of Alejandro Hernandez Fuentes and Dorlian Castillo from a red pickup truck 25 feet underwater the following day.
Four are missing and presumed dead: Maynor Suazo from Honduras; Jose Lopez from Guatemala; Miguel Luna from El Salvador; and another whose name has not been released. Another two workers were rescued.
…”One of the reasons Latinos were involved in this accident is because Latinos do the work that others do not want to do. We have to do it, because we come here for a better life. We do not come to invade the country,” said Lucia Islas, president of Comité Latino de Baltimore, a nonprofit group.

Note: One year ago almost to the day, March 22, 2023, six road workers were killed on I-695 in Baltimore (WBAL-TV excerpt). That crew was a mix of Hispanic and non-Hispanic workers:
Rolando Ruiz, 46, of Laurel
Carlos Orlando Villatoro Escobar, 43, of Frederick
Jose Armando Escobar, 52, of Frederick
Mahlon Simmons III, 31, of Union Bridge
Mahlon Simmons II, 52, of Union Bridge
Sybil Lee Dimaggio, 46, of Glen Burnie…Six people were killed Wednesday afternoon in a crash on the westside of the Baltimore Beltway in Woodlawn.
According to Maryland State Police, troopers were called around 12:40 p.m. for reports of a pedestrian struck at a work zone on the Inner Loop of the Beltway near Security Boulevard.
Gustavo Torres, executive director of the Maryland based pro-illegal immigration group CASA spoke to NPR host Debbie Elliott about the challenges immigrants, legal and illegal, face and urged Joe Biden to pass amnesty (excerpt):
ELLIOTT: You know, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that up to a third of construction workers in 2020 were Hispanic, and many are foreign-born, and that they are at particular risk of fatal injuries because of the type of work that they do. How does this show up in the challenges that workers in your group face?
TORRES: Yeah, that is really, really a reality. In particularly the Washington, D.C., and Baltimore metro area, we have around 130,000 immigrants who work in this essential work. And we see – all the time see these kind of accidents. In fact, almost a year ago to the date of the bridge collapse and also on the 695 highway, six highway construction workers, half of them Latinos, were killed in Maryland after being struck by a speeding car. So that is the kind of situation that we see all the time. And they are people who are undocumented or they have TPS, which is a legal status – they cannot qualify to become U.S. citizens.
ELLIOTT: You’re talking about temporary protected status.
TORRES: And that is, in part, the reasons why they feel these kind of challenges, because they don’t have health insurance and they are very scared to report. So that is the kind of the situation that we face in the D.C. area and beyond.
ELLIOTT: Now, in addition to the victims and their families, there must be many more immigrants among the 15,000 people who work at the Port of Baltimore, for example. How does this tragedy affect the larger immigrant community in the region?
TORRES: It’s huge. I mean, it’s a big impact. And again, it’s because the way – how we feel right now, we feel under attack. As you know, it’s a lot of attacks to the immigrant community all the time. And we are scared, and people are scared. I know that people are super scared about this, and this kind of tragic is bringing more additional pain to our community. But it’s a community who are ready to keep fighting, a community who really, really want to make a difference in this country. And we are going to keep moving forward and make sure that we are going to finally one day pass immigration reform, or at least TPS. And the President Biden had that power to be able to provide legal status for our families.

The Gateway Pundit reported last week that Joe Biden issued the most radical environmental rules in American history to phase out gasoline-powered vehicles and force customers to drive ineffective electric cars. Now, a new report has revealed the effort to finish off the gas-powered car is well-underway in eight states.
As The Daily Mail reported Tuesday, the rules being adopted in these states specify that only zero-emission vehicles, which include electric vehicles and certain plug-in hybrids, can be sold beginning with the 2035 model year. This is known as the Advanced Clean Cars II rule.
The eight states that have pledged to force their constituents to drive environmentally damaging electric vehicles are California, Rhode Island, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, and Washington. The District of Columbia has also signed off.
Unsurprisingly, California was the first to adopt the rule. They want to have 35% of new vehicle sales emit zero emissions in two years and are raising that goal to a whopping 68% by 2030.
As the California Air Resources Board notes, the rule restructures the Golden State’s “growing zero-emission vehicle market and robust motor vehicle emission control rules and augments them to meet more aggressive tailpipe emissions standards and ramp up to 100% zero-emission vehicles.”
Rhode Island was the most recent state to join the list of states pledging to ban the sale of gas-powered cars.
The Mail notes that other states have adopted versions of the Advanced Clean Cars II Rule, but have not yet pledged to wipe out gas-powered cars entirely by 2035.
Delaware and Colorado, for example, last year finalized rules that require 82 percent of all new cars to be zero emission vehicles by 2032. New Mexico announced last July that it will set its own annual targets for the sale of zero-emission vehicles. But none of these states have endorsed the 2035 ban.
The Gateway Pundit previously revealed the Biden regime, in a joint announcement with the White House and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), finalized a slate of economically crippling environmental regulations curbing gas-powered vehicle tailpipe emissions. These rules were ostensibly in response to greenhouse gas emissions and “climate change.”
Automakers will be forced to rapidly curb the emissions of greenhouse gases, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter from new passenger cars, light trucks, and larger pickups and vans, beginning with the model year 2027 vehicles.
When the tailpipe emissions rules kick in, automakers will be compelled to increase production and sales of EVs, plug-in hybrids, traditional hybrids, and fuel cell vehicles. Under one “low cost” model EPA outlined in the rule, automakers must ensure 56% of light-duty car sales are battery electric and another 13% are hybrid by 2032.
With the Biden regime receiving help from several compliant states, the gas car may soon become a historical footnote unless President Trump wins this year. He is the last hope to begin reversing this environmental insanity and perhaps save America altogether.

The incident occurred at the Laredo Port of Entry on Friday, March 22.
According to a press release from CBP, “officers at Juarez-Lincoln Bridge referred a bus passenger, a male Mexican citizen, for secondary inspection due to a system-generated alert.”
“During secondary examination, CBP officers found the subject in possession of child pornographic material, discovered within his personal belongings,” the press release continued.
The man was arrested and Homeland Security Investigations special agents are investigating the case.
CBP did not release the suspect’s name.
“Sex-related offenses against children can cause long-lasting adverse effects on the victim’s mental health,” said Port Director Albert Flores, Laredo Port of Entry.
“CBP collaborated with pertinent agencies to address the heinous nature of the crime, to ultimately bring the perpetrator to justice.”

President Trump attended the wake of fallen NYPD officer Jonathan Diller in Massapequa Park, New York on Thursday.
Officer Diller was shot and killed by a career criminal in New York City with 21 previous arrests and nine felony charges.
President Trump also reportedly gave a generous donation to Tunnel to Towers, the foundation that paid off the family mortgage of slain NYPD officer Jonathan Diller.
Joe Biden was also in New York City at a campaign fundraising event with Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.
Trump spoke with reporters after attending the wake of Officer Diller.
President Trump: The Diller family will… never be the same. You can never be the same. And we have to stop it. We have to stop it. We have to get back to law and order. We have to do a lot of things differently because this is not working. This is happening too often. It’s an honor to be here. And again, I want to just thank all of you folks for allowing this. And Bruce, thank you. Bruce has been a friend of mine for a long time. He’s done an incredible job out here. But this is such a sad occasion. The only thing we can say is maybe going to be learned. We’ve got to toughen it up. We’ve got to straighten it up. This should never be allowed. Things like this shouldn’t take place, and to take place so often.

Trump speaks with reporters after attending the wake of NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller in New York on Thursday.
The bill, House Bill 668, prohibits coverage of hormone therapy, puberty blockers, and surgical procedures for the purpose “to affirm the individual’s perception” of their sex or gender.
It also prevents government-owned facilities from offering the treatments or procedures.
The legislation had passed the Idaho House of Representatives with a 58-11 vote and the Senate with a 26-8 vote. Little signed it into the law the day after he received it.
“Hardworking taxpayers should not be forced to pay for an adult’s sex reassignment surgery,” Little wrote in a letter to Idaho’s Department of Health and Welfare in May.
The law does contain certain exceptions, including when treatment is necessary to treat infections, injuries, or disorders “caused or exacerbated by … gender transition procedures.”
There is also an exception for when a procedure is “performed in accordance with the good faith medical decision of a parent or guardian of a child or an adult born with a medically verifiable genetic disorder of sex development.”
According to a report from The Hill, “Those who intentionally violate the law could face misuse of public funds charges, which carry a penalty of up to $10,000 in fines and imprisonment between one and 14 years.”
The law will take effect on July 1.

A federal judge is also threatening to punish imprisoned January 6 defendants by adding enhancements to remaining convictions if the US Supreme Court reverses the ‘obstruction’ statute.
The US Supreme Court recently announced it will hear oral arguments in Fischer v. United States and at issue is statute 18 USC §1512(c)(2):
Whoever corruptly—
(1) alters, destroys, mutilates, or conceals a record, document, or other object, or attempts to do so, with the intent to impair the object’s integrity or availability for use in an official proceeding; or
(2) otherwise obstructs, influences, or impedes any official proceeding, or attempts to do so, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.
The Supreme Court is expected to issue a decision on Fischer v United States this summer which means hundreds of J6 cases could be upended.
Biden’s corrupt DOJ has charged more than 300 J6ers with 18 USC §1512(c)(2). Additionally, two of the four charges against Trump in Jack Smith’s DC case are conspiracy to obstruct so the Supreme Court’s ruling could torpedo the special counsel’s case against Trump as well.
Last week US Attorney from DC Matthew Graves fired a warning shot to the US Supreme Court – and J6ers serving time for 18 USC §1512(c)(2), the ‘obstruction’ statute pending before SCOTUS.
US District Judge for the District of Columbia Tim Kelly, a Trump appointee, is also threatening to add enhancements to remaining convictions if 1512c2 is reversed by the Supreme Court.
Judge Kelly threatened J6 defendant Gilbert Fonticoba, who was recommended a 62-month jail sentence for entering the Capitol building for 3 minutes.
The judge said he will add time to Fonticoba’s sentence if the Supreme Court reverses the ‘obstruction’ statute.
Judge Kelly ultimately sentenced Fonticoba to 48 months for the 1512c2 conviction.
Fonticoba asked Judge Kelly to delay his reporting to federal prison on April 12 pending SCOTUS decision on 1512c2.
Add Judge Tim Kelly (Trump appointee and one of the worst on the DC bench) to list of judges threatening to add other enhancements to remaining convictions if 1512c2 is reversed.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, investigative reporter Lara Logan reported that the crash of the Dali cargo ship into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore was not an accident but rather a “strategic attack.”
Hours after the Dali cargo ship crashed into the Key bridge, taking the lives of six men, the Democrat Governor of Maryland, in a press conference, stated, “The preliminary investigation points to an accident. We haven’t seen any credible evidence of a terrorist attack.”
Many believed Moore and the NTSB’s quick assessment to rule out terrorism raised red flags, considering the NTSB’s preliminary analysis of the Dali’s VDR (Black Box) was yet to be revealed.
The Biden administration has been preparing for possible cyber security attacks on U.S. ports in recent months.
In February, Biden signed an executive order that aimed to “To bolster the Department of Homeland Security’s authority to directly address maritime cyber threats, including through cybersecurity standards to ensure that American ports’ networks and systems are secure.”
The executive order stated its main objective was to “improve maritime cybersecurity and supply chain security.”
President Biden on Wednesday signed an executive order and created a federal rule aimed at better securing the nation’s ports from potential cyberattacks. https://t.co/wl6bpQ0MQy
— PBS NewsHour (@NewsHour) February 21, 2024
Per White House:
Today, the Biden-Harris Administration will issue an Executive Order to bolster the security of the nation’s ports, alongside a series of additional actions that will strengthen maritime cybersecurity, fortify our supply chains and strengthen the United States industrial base. The Administration will also announce its intent to bring domestic onshore manufacturing capacity back to America to provide safe, secure cranes to U.S. ports – thanks to an over $20 billion investment in U.S. port infrastructure under President Biden’s Investing in America Agenda. Today’s actions are clear examples of the President’s work to invest in America, secure the country’s supply chains, and strengthen the cybersecurity of our nation’s critical infrastructure against 21st century threats – priorities his Administration has focused on relentlessly since taking office.
America’s prosperity is directly linked to maritime trade and the integrated network of ports, terminals, vessels, waterways, and land-side connections that constitute the Nation’s Marine Transportation System (MTS). This complex system supports $5.4 trillion worth of economic activity each year, contributes to the employment of more than 31 million Americans, and supports nearly 95% of cargo entering the U.S.
The security of our critical infrastructure remains a national imperative in an increasingly complex threat environment. MTS owners and operators rely on digital systems to enable their operations, to include ship navigation, the movement of cargo, engineering, safety, and security monitoring. These systems have revolutionized the maritime shipping industry and American supply chains by enhancing the speed and efficiency of moving goods to market, but the increasing digital interconnectedness of our economy and supply chains have also introduced vulnerabilities that, if exploited, could have cascading impacts on America’s ports, the economy, and everyday hard-working Americans.

In a recent monologue, Greg Gutfeld focused on some of the high profile crimes that have happened in New York City over the past few weeks and the lame response from the people in charge.
Greg talks about the Democrats and their obsession with bail reform and how this places a higher priority on the rights of criminals, instead of law abiding citizens.
Despite a lot of talk from Mayor Adams and others, things keep getting worse.
Partial transcript via FOX News:
So here in New York City, the subway system is running a special lottery, but unlike my used underwear raffle, it’s a lottery that no one wants to win. Because with random attacks on the trains rising faster than Truth Social’s stock price, your chances of getting through the subway system without encountering a raving lunatic are about the same as getting through Jesse’s book.
New York subway is so dangerous these days, it could be Ukraine or even San Francisco, or that time I ate Taco Bell right before my water aerobics class. So as New York Democrat leaders, all of whom, by the way, have armed protection details, hold press conferences telling us they feel our pain and are praying for the families.
What they conveniently ignore is that none of this is actually random, it’s as predictable as women fainting when I forget to close my robe. Because it’s the policies of these leaders, most of which were forced through in the wake of George Floyd, that are directly causing all of this. It’s why today, blue cities are all turning red, blood-red. Here in NYC, the man arrested for the murder of NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller during a car stop had 21 prior arrests, including multiple felonies.
Hey Dems, I know you don’t like the old three strikes rule, but could we maybe get a 20 strikes rule? His partner, who was driving the car had 14 priors, including attempted murder.
Watch the whole thing below:
Nothing is going to change until people elect new leaders.

A former Biden family business associate-turned-whistleblower who alleges the Bidens ran an international influence-peddling scheme that he witnessed firsthand is suing Fox News host Jessica Tarlov for defamation.
The far-left co-host of “The Five” indicated his legal fees had been paid by a political action committee affiliated with former President Donald Trump.
When Tarlov and her network were initially asked by Tony Bobulinski’s attorneys to apologize and offer a full retraction of the comment, both parties refused.
In a lawsuit filed on Thursday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York by Bobuinski and his attorney Stefan Passantino, Tarlov is listed as the sole defendant.
The suit claims that Tarlov was guilty of defamation on March 20 when she “lied” and said on “The Five” that Bobulinksi’s legal representatives were being paid for by allies of Trump.
The comment was made hours after Bobulinski testified before the House Oversight Committee about his knowledge of the Biden family’s business affairs, which he said he saw firsthand for years.
In a social media post sharing news of the lawsuit, Bobulinski said he is not suing Tarlov for personal gain, but to hold members of the media accountable.

“Today I filed a lawsuit against Ms. Jessica Tarlov of Fox News for defamation,” Bobulinski said in a statement.
“Although I am seeking compensatory, special, and punitive damages from her for the damage her public remarks inflicted on my personal and professional reputation, this is not about money,” he added.
The former Biden family associate continued:
“This is about the truth, for which I have been fighting for four years. It is important for media personalities like Ms. Tarlov to understand that lies have consequences.
“I have consistently told the truth to the American people about the deep corruption of the Biden family and will continue to do, and I have paid my legal expenses arising from my decision to come forward out of my own pocket. I will donate every penny I may be awarded in this suit to a children’s hospital and to support our military Veterans. Ms. Tarlov refused to apologize and sincerely correct the record.”
Bobulinski, who first came forward in October 2020 during interviews with Tucker Carlson alleging corruption by both Joe and Hunter Biden, concluded, “I look forward to holding her accountable in a court of law and to continuing to bring the truth to the American people.”
As Mediaite reported, Tarlov said on the Fox News show last Wednesday that the Trump PAC had been paying Bobulnski’s law firm as recently as two months ago.
The firm in question was paid by Trump’s Save America PAC for separate legal services at one point, but those were unrelated to Bobulinski.
A day later, on the March 21 edition of “The Five,” Tarlov issued a brief clarification of her comments when she said:
“… During an exchange with my colleagues about the hearing I said that Mr. Bobulinski’s lawyers’ fees have been paid by a Trump super PAC as recent as January.
“What was actually said during the hearing was that the law firm representing Mr. Bobulinski was paid by a Trump PAC. I have seen no indication those payments were made in connection with Mr. Bobulinski’s legal fees and he denies that they were.”
Bobulinski’s attorneys had requested a complete retraction and an apology, which Tarlov did not offer and which Fox News dismissed in a letter to the former Biden family business associate, Mediaite reported.
Bobulinski told Congress last week that Joe Biden was personally involved in Hunter Biden’s business affairs and that the family business was to cash in on the family name.
He claimed the Bidens had made a small fortune in countries from Ukraine to China.

At a high dollar fundraiser in New York City Thursday night, Joe Biden cracked a joke about his German Shepherd dogs attacking Secret Service agents. The attacks by Commander and the Bidens’ previous Shepherd Major were so numerous and severe that the each dog was exiled from the White House and Biden family–but only after news of the attacks leaked to the media.
Biden appeared on stage at Radio City Music Hall with Barack Obama and Bill Clinton in a joint interview with CBS Late Show host Stephen Colbert at the $25 million fundraiser where tickets cost up to $500,000.
Reuters reporter Nandita Bose reported the joke by Biden, “.@JoeBiden at the NY fundraiser: Harry Truman said if you want a friend in Washington, get a dog. I got one and it bit a secret service agent.”

Judicial Watch reported in February on the Bidens’ dogs attacking Secret Service agents, noting that a source claimed Joe Biden punched and kicked the dogs (excerpt):
Judicial Watch received 269 pages of records from Secret Service related to incidents of aggression by President Biden’s dog Commander, including at least 23 biting incidents. READ: https://t.co/dzOv6ihLHB
— Judicial Watch
Judicial Watch announced today that it received 269 pages of records from the U.S. Secret Service related to incidents of aggression by President Biden’s dog Commander, including at least 23 biting incidents. After one incident, East Wing public tours were stopped for approximately 20 minutes due to the blood on the floor from the attack in the area of the “Booksellers.”
…Judicial Watch FOIA requests and lawsuits exposed initial White House falsehoods about the severity and number of attacks by the Bidens’ previous dog, Major. Judicial Watch then received a tip that Commander was also attacking Secret Service personnel and uncovered documents last July showing 10 biting incidents.
According to a Judicial Watch source, President Biden mistreated his dogs. The source disclosed Biden punched and kicked his dogs.
The latest records forced out by Judicial Watch include a spreadsheet of 22 incident reports between October 2022 and June 2023, 10 of which requiring medical treatment.
…A January 28, 2023, email chain discusses three biting incidents, “2 incidents today and one yesterday.” Later that day, a Presidential Protection Division official whose name is redacted emails Senior White House Advisor Anthony Bernal that “Commander bit one of the Navy Staff” who worked at Camp David.
A photo is attached to a June 11, 2023, email from the Presidential Protection Division to Volpicelli with the subject line “Dog Bite.” The photo shows the torn clothing of an agent who was bitten in the chest by Commander while the agent was attempting to open the door for Jill Biden to the Oval Dining Patio area of the White House. The agent required medical attention.
…On July 29, 2023, nearly six weeks after agents had compiled the list of 22 bite incidents, another attack of an agent occurred at Biden’s Rehoboth, DE, home. The July 30 incident report indicates:
Commander ran towards the direction of post [redacted] booth and bit SA [redacted] in the left forearm. Causing a severe, deep open wound. As a result of the attack SA [redacted] started to loose [sic] a significant amount of blood from [redacted] arm. SA [redacted] remained calm and walked away from the area looking for help.
Video surfaced last year of Biden apparently kicking Commander in the head when he got tangled in his leash.

Now that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has announced his running mate, it’s starting to sink in for Democrats that he is really planning to run and may play a bit of a spoiler for Joe Biden.
For all of their talk about ‘our democracy,’ Democrats are simultaneously furious and terrified about RFK and other third party candidates.
Folks at the DNC apparently even held an ’emergency’ call over this.
Townhall reports:
DNC Holds ‘Emergency Call’ As Dems Panic Over RFK Jr.’s VP Pick
The Democrat Party seemed uneasy after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced his choice of Nicole Shanahan as his vice president pick.
According to recent reports, the Democrat National Convention has ramped up attacks on Kennedy, claiming the pair will boost former President Donald Trump’s chances of securing the 2024 election.
Pro-President Joe Biden supporters are attacking Kennedy for appointing Shanahan as his VP—a California-based attorney and progressive activist.
“I am personally offended and just disgusted by his campaign,” Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) said during a call from the DNC. “He should be ashamed of himself. He should stop running for president.”
Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. Austin Davis (D) called Kennedy a “spoiler,” and accused the Independent presidential candidate of being “drafted” into the race by top supporters of Trump’s.
“He has no realistic path to victory in Pennsylvania,” Davis said.
Democrats are panicking that a third-party candidate could cost Biden the election despite the president’s polling numbers being well below average due to his far-left policies.
These are not people who are confident about Joe Biden’s chances in November.
BREAKING.

Rebecca Lavrenz, 72, a God-fearing grandmother from Colorado, is standing trial right now in DC – yet another victim of the Biden regime’s weaponized Department of Injustice – for merely peacefully demonstrating alongside thousands of her fellow countrymen at the Capitol on January 6th, 2021.
Rebecca faces four misdemeanor charges for being waved into the Capitol building by police and other agents on site that day. All four charges are federal misdemeanors which could carry up to $210,000 in fines and one year in prison.
** Please help out Rebecca Lavrenz this Good Friday.
Her legal bills have been mounting because of her many federal court appearances – the first of which took place in Denver, Colorado, in which she initially received news of her criminal charges and declined to take the prosecution’s plea offer, just days before Christmas. In addition to her legal fees, which are upwards of potentially $100,000, Rebecca faces tremendous fines and countless other expenditures for being subject to this indignity.
Rebecca is a God-fearing woman with no criminal record. She has four children, seven grandchildren and one great-grandchild. She runs a Bed & Breakfast on five acres in Colorado and loves America. She has even taken classes to become a Constitutional Coach in order to help other American citizens learn how to most effectively stand up for their God-given rights.
Rebecca firmly believes this country is at an inflection point – facing the risk of losing everything if people do not educate themselves about and stand up for their God-given rights that are enshrined in our founding documents. She regularly likes to quote the famous eighteenth-century English statesman and political philosopher Edmund Burke, who famously said “All it takes for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.”
Rebecca is currently being represented by John Pierce, chairman of the National Constitutional Law Union. The NCLU’s mission statement “is to preserve and protect the United States Constitution and the American way of life by providing legal support and funding to individuals whose Constitutional rights, civil liberties, and similar rights are being violated or in jeopardy.”
Rebecca will be courageously testifying in her own defense this week, and her legal team are fighting every day and night on her behalf. She can use some help from sympathetic readers of The Gateway Pundit to help cover the costs of fighting Joe Biden and his weaponized DOJ, and the FBI.

J6 defendant Rebecca Lavernz, a patriotic God-fearing grandmother is the latest target of the tyrannical government.
A coalition of states has filed a lawsuit to block the latest iteration of President Joe Biden’s plan to shift repayment of student loans from former students to taxpayers.
Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach, who is leading the lawsuit, said this year’s plan to forgive student debt violates many of the same principles as Biden’s first attempt to do so, which was shot down last year by the U.S. Supreme Court, according to Fox Business.
“Not since the Civil War has a president told the Supreme Court, ‘Yeah you blocked me, but I’m gonna do it anyway.’” Kobach told Fox News in an interview. “Biden is trying to twist federal law once again, and his new plan is just as illegal as the old plan.”
The Kansas-led lawsuit is supported by Alabama, Alaska, Idaho, Iowa, Louisiana, Montana, Nebraska, South Carolina, Texas and Utah. Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey announced that his state is also leading a coalition against the loan forgiveness plan, which will include Arkansas and other states, calling the proposal Biden’s “latest illegal student loan plan” in a post on X.
BREAKING: My office will be filing suit against Joe Biden for his latest illegal student loan plan.
The Supreme Court sided with us on this matter the first time. I look forward to bringing home yet another win for the Constitution and the rule of law.
— Attorney General Andrew Bailey (@AGAndrewBailey) March 28, 2024
“The Supreme Court could not have been clearer: President Biden cannot unilaterally cancel student debt and force taxpayers to bear the multi-billion-dollar cost,” Arkansas Attorney General Tim Griffin said in a release posted on Bailey’s website.
Kobach said that former students will have the “entirety of their debt canceled” in a debt relief plan he said was “’twisting the words of federal law,” according to the Daily Mail.
“This time they say, ‘Oh we’re just modifying the terms of debt repayment,’ but that’s not modifying the terms of debt repayment when you take the debt all the way down to zero and you don’t have to pay back the principal,” he said.
Kobach said the plan is shot through with political motivations.
“It may just be coincidence, or it may be that the administration is attempting to curry favor with people who have student debt,” he said.
Between our two coalitions of states, we will get this matter in front of a judge even more quickly to deliver a win for the American people.

Biden proposed his $138 billion student loan plan in February, saying of his student debt forgiveness efforts: “The Supreme Court blocked it, but that didn’t stop me,” according to Fox Business.
The premise behind the lawsuit is that Congress needed to approve a major policy change that shifts debt from former students to taxpayers.
“Last time Defendants tried this the Supreme Court said that this action was illegal. Nothing since then has changed,” a copy of the lawsuit posted on Fox Business said.
“This lawsuit is now necessary to prevent Defendants from continuing to flout the law, which includes ignoring Supreme Court decisions,” the lawsuit said.
The lawsuit said ruling outside the law is a Biden trademark.
“This is not the first time Defendant Biden has taken actions that he publicly admits are likely unlawful. This is an administration that rules by will, not by law,” the lawsuit said.
“Although this round of unilateral debt nullification takes on a new name, with a different putative authority, it is every bit as improper as his first unlawful attempt at debt forgiveness in Biden v. Nebraska,” the lawsuit said, referring to the 2023 case decided by the Supreme Court.
“Indeed, as the Defendants scrape ever deeper into the barrel for legal pretexts to abolish student debts, the illegality of those artifices becomes more obvious. The authority that Defendants claim now lacks any substantive limits and amounts to claiming that they can abolish all student debt at any time by rulemaking alone,” the lawsuit said.
The lawsuit noted that the plan is political in nature.
“The timing of these actions also makes plain their pretextual nature. The first round of debt relief was rushed out in time for the 2022 elections in a transparent bread-and-circuses attempt to boost base turnout and, in essence, buy votes with federal funds. This second round of debt cancellation also — by remarkable coincidence — manages to take effect shortly before the 2024 election,” the lawsuit said.

President Trump will address “Biden’s Border Bloodbath” in a speech Tuesday afternoon at the Grand Rapids Convention Center in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The speech comes days after an illegal alien from Mexico who had been deported by the Trump administration in 2020 was charged in the March 22 murder of 25-year-old Ruby Garcia whose bullet-riddled body was found dumped on a Grand Rapids highway.
Garcia worked for a local greenhouse according to her sister, Mavi Garcia, reported WXMI-TV (excerpt):
Garcia says Ruby worked in quality control at a local greenhouse. She leaves behind two brothers too.
“She was a great daughter, sister, aunt and friend,” said Garcia. “She will be remembered as being full of life and laughter. Those who were around her [knew] she was silly and made everyone laugh. Her loss has impacted the lives of many people. Her life was taken too soon. She deserved to live life, travel the world, have kids and follow her dreams.”
Earlier in March, Trump met with the family of 22-year-old Laken Riley, the University of Georgia nursing student who was attacked and beaten to death on February 22 while she was out for a run on campus. An illegal alien from Venezuela has been charged in her murder.
President Donald J. Trump to Deliver Remarks on Biden’s Border Bloodbath in Grand Rapids, MI
Joe Biden’s Violent Criminal Illegals are invading backyards and communities across Michigan resulting in death, destruction, and chaos.
President Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America, will deliver Remarks on Biden’s Border Bloodbath in Grand Rapids, Michigan on Tuesday, April 2, 2024, at 2:30PM EDT.
Rep. Hillary Scholten (D-MI) called Trump’s planned speech in Grand Rapids “horrific” and pushed for passage of the Senate border bill that has been rejected by House Republicans as too lax on securing the border, “Republicans are literally pushing each other out of the way to get in front of a camera and exploit the tragic death of Ruby Garcia. It’s horrific. Justice for Ruby Garcia means solutions, not political theater. I won’t stop until we pass our bipartisan border bill.”

Garcia’s body was found on U.S. 131 Friday, according to Michigan State Police. Garcia was a Grand Rapids resident.
Brandon Ortiz-Vite, 25, was charged with the following Tuesday: felony murder, open murder, carjacking, carrying a concealed weapon, and felony firearm.
According to federal agencies, Ortiz-Vite reentered the country illegally at an unknown date and time.

Following his speech in Michigan, Trump will hold a campaign rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin at 5 p.m. CDT.
Trump’s figurative use of the word ‘bloodbath’ while talking about the effects of foreign trade policy on the U.S. auto industry at a rally in Dayton, Ohio on March 16 provoked outrageous smears from liberals and reporters who took his remarks out of context. Trump posted a video rebuking the smears and talking about the quite literal “Biden’s Border Bloodbath.”

An image of skyscrapers with windows illuminated in the shape of a cross to commemorate Good Friday in 1956 is making the rounds on social media and reminding people the U.S. once largely embraced the faith — even in New York City.
Sixty-seven years later, no such display is expected in the country’s most populous city.

An archive of the now-defunct California newspaper the Oxnard Press-Courier shows the image was used by the outlet in its Saturday, March 31, 1956, edition.
The image was accompanied by a simple headline: “COME TO CHURCH SUNDAY.” The Press-Courier dedicated the entire page to when and where people of any denomination could attend an Easter service.
Many Twitter users who came across the image of 1950s Manhattan commemorating the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus at Calvary lamented the current state of the country.
“How far we have fallen,” one user commented.

But the Empire State Building did commemorate the Resurrection as recently as 2018.
Christians can still find examples of their faith on display in a secular culture that long ago lost its footing. But they are fewer and farther between.
That stands to reason. A poll taken last month showed Americans are abandoning faith at an alarming rate.
In 1998, 62 percent of respondents said religion was “very important” to them. This year, only 39 percent answered the same way, which was down 9 points from 2019.
On Good Friday, Easter and every other day of the year, Christians should pray our neighbors are brought back to Christ and his enduring love.

The post FBI Posts Ridiculous Tweet on Combating Hate Crimes – Then Gets Blown Up in the Comments! appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill Wednesday to protect the rights of homeowners in the state against so-called “squatters.”
That morning, DeSantis posted a video to X explaining the need for the new law.
“Does your house belong to you?” the Republican governor asked rhetorically. “Or, if you are not using it, can someone just come in, squat for a period of time, and then claim that they have a right to be there?
“This so-called ‘squatter scam’ is something that’s happening around the country — there’s even videos telling people how to go in and take over and empty house,” he said.
“That was never how the law was supposed to work,” DeSantis said. “And in Florida, we are going to take action today to end this scam and to protect the private property rights of our homeowners.
Commandeering a private residence through “squatting” is a scam that violates private property rights.
While some states are choosing to indulge this behavior, Florida is putting an end to it.
Stay tuned… pic.twitter.com/ESBuwgtFZH
— Ron DeSantis (@GovRonDeSantis) March 27, 2024
DeSantis called the current state of affairs “absurd” and said his state would lead the way in ending the scam.
The new law, HB 621, will take effect on July 1, Tampa’s WTVT reported Wednesday.
Once it does, homeowners will have a much more streamlined process to evict a squatter by filing a complaint with their local sheriff’s office and requesting assistance.
“Sheriffs from across the state will be able to provide the adequate resources and support for victims of these crimes and homeowners to preserve their property,” Seminole County Sheriff Dennis Lemma told WTVT.
Squatters rely on the fact that, even when they are clearly not authorized to be present in a given residence, getting them out can be expensive and time-consuming for a homeowner. Meanwhile, the can continue to live rent-free in an unoccupied home while the eviction process drags on, DeSantis said.
Under the new process, the sheriff can make a quick determination about who actually owns the property and then take action against unauthorized occupants. Homeowners who files such complaints do so under penalty of perjury, according to a summary of the bill on the Florida Senate website.
“If the complaint shows that the owner is eligible for relief and the sheriff can verify ownership of the property, the sheriff must remove the unauthorized person,” the summary says. “The property owner must pay the sheriff the civil eviction fee plus an hourly rate if a deputy must stand by and keep the peace while the unauthorized person is removed.”
If that process results in an improper removal, however, the person so removed would have recourse.
“A person wrongfully removed pursuant to this procedure has a cause of action against the owner for three times the fair market rent, damages, costs, and attorney fees,” the summary explains.
According to that site, the bill passed both houses of the Florida legislature unanimously.
Later on Wednesday, DeSantis shared another video on X that showed some of the recent horror stories involving squatters around the country.
Other states are allowing squatters to take over homes, and those states even side with the squatters.
Not in Florida.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) visited a woman on February 22 who had used social media to expose a man who allegedly ‘dumped her cousin’s body like trash’ and was released on probation.
The tweet posted by Twitter user Kristin Martin has gone viral and has been viewed over 8.6 million times.
The tweet in question was a call for justice for her 27-year-old cousin, Macy Peebles, who Martin alleges was drugged by a man at L’Auberge Casino in Baton Rouge and later found dead. The accused, Damion Matthews, is currently on probation despite having a criminal history.
Martin’s tweet reads: “This monster drugged my 27 yr old cousin at the L’Auberge Casino in Baton Rouge last February. He dumped her half naked dead body like trash. Rap sheet a mile long. He walks today on PROBATION. Damion Matthews may you reap what you have sown.”

Local news outlet BR Proud reported that Damion Matthews, 38, was arrested after authorities found the body of a woman at an empty apartment under construction.
The discovery was made by members of the fire department and deputies with the East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office on the morning of Feb. 23.
While the EBR Coroner’s Office disclosed no obvious signs of trauma, investigators have reason to believe that the woman had been moved post-mortem.
Surveillance footage showed Matthews with the victim at the casino and his vehicle near the apartment where her body was found.
However, Matthew was released on probation a year later.
Daily Mail reported:
The family of a 27-year-old Louisiana woman whose body was dumped at a vacant apartment building is outraged that the man whom she was last seen with and who later dumped her body is on probation.
Damion Matthews, 38, was arrested February 23, 2023 on two charges of unlawful disposal of remains and obstruction of justice in the death of Macy Peebles.
Peebles first met Matthews when the pair were at a casino. The young woman left with Matthews before she turned up dead. He was later accused of discarding the women’s remains, and moving her corpse, officials said.
On Tuesday, at his trial hearing in 19th District Court in Baton Rouge he faced Judge Louise Hines, and entered a guilty plea, his public defender Alex Hertenstein told DailyMail.com.
Matthews bonded out of the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison a day after his arrest on $15,000 bail.
On February 22, FBI agents visited Martin’s Texas home and her family in Louisiana. They asked if she had any knowledge of who might have threatened the judge.
Martin was not present during the initial visit but contacted the agent afterward, who expressed a desire to meet. She reported that the encounter left her husband unsettled, as evidenced by a video she posted online.
“Basically the tweet about my cousins killer went viral. 8.3 million views. Elon Musk even put a ! Under it. The FBI agent went to my family in Louisiana. My family thought they were there to help since the monster only got probation after all he’s done. They were there about my tweet,” Martin told The Gateway Pundit.
“They wanted to see if I or anyone they know could have sent in a threat to judges. That was exactly the same reason they gave me for coming to my house,” she added.

Former Presidents Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and Joe Biden joined forces with leftist celebrities Stephen Colbert and Lizzo, who got sued for sexual harassment, in an out-of-touch event that raked in an unprecedented $25 million on Thursday night.
The event, which charged $250, with the largest contributions of $250,000 and $500,000 per ticket, took place in New York City, the same day that President Donald Trump attended the wake of slain NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller.

President Trump, who has been vocal in his support for law enforcement, made an appearance in Massapequa Park, New York, to pay his respects to Officer Diller, who tragically lost his life after being shot by a repeat offender with 21 previous arrests and 9 felony charges during a routine traffic stop in Queens.
Trump’s presence at the wake was seen by many as a sign of solidarity with the police force and the grieving family. He also made a contribution to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, an organization that assisted the Diller family by paying off their mortgage.
Meanwhile, in a stark contrast of events, the fundraiser in NYC, which included a photo opportunity with Biden, Obama, and Clinton taken by photographer Annie Leibovitz for a donation of $100,000, drew criticism online.

Charlie Kirk, the conservative commentator and founder of Turning Point USA, took to social media to highlight the significance of the fundraiser and what it means for the upcoming political battles.
“Tonight will be the largest fundraiser in political history – $25,000,000 in hard money raised in a single evening for Biden. This is more raised in one night than Trump raised the entire month of February,” Kirk said.
He continued with a call to action for Republicans, emphasizing the urgency of the situation: “Democrats are beginning to fine-tune their messaging, and they have a standing army of 5,000+ full-time organizers on the ground in the key states. We are outgunned and will be outspent. The polls are tightening. Time to get to work. The country is at stake.”

Columbia University is yet another American institution of higher ed that has allowed anti-semitism to flourish on its campus.
The suit alleges that Columbia has not substantially intervened to combat the Jewish hate that has exploded on campus since the October 7 Hamas terrorist attacks on Israeli civilians.
Now, Columbia is investigating a student event held on Sunday, titled “Resistance 101,” where speakers expressed support for Hamas terrorists and encouraged students to back “armed resistance” against Israel.
The event was led by Columbia University Apartheid Divest, a coalition of student organizations, including Students for Justice in Palestine and the anti-Zionist Jewish Voice for Peace, which were suspended from campus for violating university protest policies.
Jewish Telegraphic Agency reports:
During the event, speakers repeatedly backed Palestinian “resistance,” which in their view included open support for Hamas. One of the speakers, Khaled Barakat, a Palestinian writer and activist, referred to his “friends and brothers in Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the PFLP,” according to a video of the entire event posted on X, formerly Twitter, by user Stu Smith.
“When they see students organizing outside Palestine, they really feel that they are being backed as a resistance,” said Barakat, who is based in Canada. “Your work is so important to the resistance in Gaza.”
Other speakers at the event also backed Palestinian terror groups. Some participants attended the event in person while others spoke via videoconference. It wasn’t clear from the video how many students attended. A representative of National Students for Justice in Palestine was also at the event.
Here is my recording of the “Resistance 101” event hosted by Columbia University Apartheid Divest which features speakers from Within Our Lifetime, Masar Badil, and Samidoun.

“The action that the Palestinian resistance undertook on the 7th of October was an earth shattering undertaking. They actually took the necessary action and they took an action that they understood is necessary,” Kates said while calling Hamas terror tunnels and weapons production a “tremendous achievement.”
Barakat praised the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine’s terrorism during the 1960s and 1970s, specifically praising the terror group for hijacking airplanes, which “introduced the Palestinian questions to the world.”
Although the event was originally scheduled to take place at Columbia’s Barnard College, the event was moved to Columbia’s “Q House,” an “LGBTQ+ special interest community at Columbia University,” according to an internal email obtained by the Free Beacon. “This location change is due to Columbia University continuing to repress Palestinian students and the allies of the Palestinian struggle for liberation on campus,” read the email, which was addressed to “comrades.”
A Columbia spokeswoman said the university is “aware of an unsanctioned, unapproved event that took place last night” at a “residence.” Kates and Barakat addressed attendees via Zoom, while Kiswani attended in person.
“Columbia canceled the event, denying requests to use university space, as did Barnard,” the spokeswoman told the Free Beacon. “Despite this, the event organizers held the event in a residence with an online option.”
“We are investigating this matter and will not tolerate violations of university policy,” the spokeswoman said.

Well, the Utah Royals jersey “controversy” has at least one thing going for it: It doesn’t involve Megan Rapinoe.
The Royals, for the unaware — and, given the state of women’s soccer in this country, I’m sure are very many of you — are one of the 14 teams that make up the National Women’s Soccer League, the top flight of the sport in the United States. While technically not an expansion team, the Royals haven’t played since 2019; the pandemic effectively put the team on ice and it’s only been resurrected for the 2024 season. Thus, there aren’t a whole lot of marquee players with the second iteration of the franchise.
However, despite being relative underdogs in the scheme of the NWSL, the Royals are already confounding their competitors. Not because of their superior play on the pitch or unsporting tactics, but because of the title sponsor on the front of their jerseys: America First Credit Union.
No, seriously.
According to the Salt Lake Tribune, supporters for the Chicago Red Stars and North Carolina Courage, the Royals’ first two opponents, voiced displeasure with the sponsor, seeming to blame them for, um, white supremacy or something.
NWSL fan groups have released statements denouncing Utah’s jerseys — which feature the name of a local credit union — as racist and hateful.
— The Salt Lake Tribune (@sltrib) March 27, 2024
“While we support all the Utah players and their fans, we can’t stand by without mentioning the front of jersey sponsor, America First Credit Union, of our opponent — the Utah Royals,” read a statement from The Uproar, a supporter group for the Courage, before their March 22 matchup.
“The phrase ‘America First’ has a long history rooted in racism, fascism, and hateful ideology.”

Chicago Local 134, the supporter group for the Red Stars, echoed similar sentiments before the March 16 season opener.
“The history of the phrase ‘America First’ and the imagery used in the credit union’s logo is rooted in racist ideology [and] propaganda that harks back to the Nazis and the KKK,” the statement read.
“[S]occer is for all, and promoting an institution that is represented by racist propaganda is unacceptable.”

Both supporters’ groups thanked Diaspora United — which describes itself as “[a] soccer podcast that centers Black women in the global game” on its X profile — for calling attention to it.
Now, you may not be surprised to learn that America First Credit Union has been around for over 80 years and the Utah-based company didn’t pick the name out of white supremacist fervor. In a statement, the company said it changed its name to America First because of its work with the U.S. government and because it puts its customers first.
“America First Credit Union is dedicated to serving the financial needs of all individuals and communities within its field of membership. Its name and history are rooted in the credit union’s initial connection with the United States government, serving civilian federal employees working at American military bases, including Utah’s Fort Douglas, where the credit union was founded in 1939,” the company said in a statement.
“Throughout its 85-year history, America First Credit Union has worked to put the financial needs and interests of its members and community first — never losing sight of their founding principle of ‘people helping people.’”
The company added that the logo, which is supposed to be a stylized representation of a bald eagle, is “designed to look similar to the wings worn by many of the brave service men and women in our armed forces.”
But, of course, because the probable Republican presidential nominee who shall not be named has, on occasion, used the phrase “America first,” suddenly it’s toxic.
Utah Gov. Spencer Cox, however, was not impressed with the faux outcry.
Just when you think this website can’t get any more ridiculous. (I had to double check if this was a parody account…sadly it is not) https://t.co/8W8tp3h65X

“Just when you think this website can’t get any more ridiculous. (I had to double check if this was a parody account…sadly it is not),” the Republican said in response to The Uproar’s statement.
However, this does highlight an important fact: Support for women’s professional soccer has little to do with the quality of the game. It’s a political statement, much like (sadly) support for the U.S. Women’s National Team has also become a political statement. It’s just that the statement being made by NWSL fanatics is, as the America First Credit Union own-goal indicates, exponentially more stupid than that being made by Rapinoe-worshippers.

The Gateway Pundit reported on Monday that Homeland Security agents raided rapper and business mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Comb’s Los Angeles mansion as part of an ongoing sex trafficking investigation.
The lawsuit filed by producer Rodney Jones claims Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs used his affiliation with Prince Harry, along with other big-time celebrities such as T.D. Jakes, to give himself and his associates legitimacy when throwing sex-trafficking parties where sexual abuse allegedly occurred.
The celebrities in Jones’s lawsuit have not been named defendants in the sex trafficking case.
Here’s the full list:
- Stevie J (Steven Aaron Jordan), a music producer and television personality
- Yung Miami, who was not labeled as a celebrity in the filing
- Prince Harry
- Georgia Mass Choir
- A Grammy Award-winning R&B singer who had trouble with law enforcement after assaulting a Bajan billionaire, whose name was also redacted (Speculated to be Rihanna)
- Donald Lawrence, songwriter and music producer
- Cassie Ventura
- The Clark Sisters
- Bishop T.D. Jakes
- DeForrest Taylor
- Smokie Norful
- Jose Cruz
- Faheem Muhammad
- A redacted name of a Philadelphia rapper who dated Nicki Minaj(Allegedly Meek Mill)
From Prince Harry to Bishop T D Jakes, here’s a full list of celebrities named in Diddy’s court documents https://t.co/SzCemeIvWz
— Mervyn58 (@58ALL) March 27, 2024
Per Newsweek:
Among the benefits enjoyed by music industry parties, Jones’ lawyers claimed, was “affiliation and access to Mr. Combs’ popularity.”
In the court filing seen by Newsweek, it is alleged that through this popularity, Combs’ associates gained access to “celebrities such as famous athletes, political figures, artists, musicians, and international dignitaries like British Royal, Prince Harry.”
Jakes is not accused of anything in the lawsuit. According to the court documents, Jones claims that Combs “planned to leverage his relationship with Bishop T.D. Jakes to soften the impact on his public image of Cassie Ventura’s lawsuit.”
The named celebrities have not been charged.
Diddy has had a long history of propping up Democrat candidates in election seasons.
In 2004, Diddy, at the height of his rap career, headed the campaign “Vote or Die” a political group aimed to get young people and minorities to vote.
In the same year, Diddy interviewed Hillary Clinton at the 2004 Democratic National Convention.

The Gateway Pundit reported that after only four days of work, NBC fired former RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel after Chuck Todd and other talent attacked her on air.
According to Politico, the Republican National Committee (RNC) is mulling whether to restrict NBC’s access to this summer’s convention in Milwaukee following the network’s decision to drop McDaniel as a contributor.
Donald Trump railed against NBC’s decision to part ways with McDaniel.
“Wow! Ronna McDaniel got fired by Fake News NBC. She only lasted two days, and this after McDaniel went out of her way to say what they wanted to hear. It leaves her in a very strange place, it’s called NEVER NEVERLAND, and it’s not a place you want to be. These Radical Left Lunatics are CRAZY, and the top people at NBC ARE WEAK. They were BROKEN and EMBARRASSED by LOW RATINGS, HIGHLY OVERPAID, “TALENT.” BRING BACK FREE AND FAIR PRESS – MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN 2024!” Trump said on Truth Social.
“We are taking a hard look at what this means for NBC’s participation at the convention,” said Danielle Alvarez, a spokesperson for the RNC and the Trump campaign. “Our priority is making sure this is a world class event that allows President Trump to feature his message and vision in a fair way.”
An NBC spokesperson declined comment.
But any attempt to restrict the network’s access at the convention would likely engender strong pushback from top brass there, as well as organizations tasked with representing the media and, potentially, rival journalists and outlets.
The RNC did not further elaborate on what “a hard look” meant. But a major showdown with the press at the biggest political event of the election cycle could prove to be an unwanted distraction for Republicans. That is especially true for a presidential nominee who takes heavy interest in the media coverage he receives.
While the RNC doesn’t control the credentialing to the convention, the House Periodical Press Gallery does; they could impact NBC’s access to the perimeter around the convention site. The RNC could also affect space allocated to NBC for live shots, transportation, and hotel space, Politico reported.

Paris has joined the ranks of cities hosting international security forums, alongside Munich, Warsaw, Doha, Singapore, and more than a few others. It is a fair assumption that this proliferation of security conferences reflects growing insecurity and widespread fear over the unraveling of the liberal, rules-based global order. But two things about the Paris forum distinguish it from the many others; it was a call to mobilize a complacent France; and a call for the adaptation of professional military education through transformative education to prepare the next generation of security leaders for the challenges of the evolving global security environment.
The Paris Defence and Strategy Forum was held 13-14 March and attended by 2600 participants from 68 countries. In his opening plenary speech Lithuanian President Gitanas NausÄ—da set the sober tone: “Just as Czechoslovakia did not satisfy Hitler; Ukraine will not satisfy Putin. Neither will the Baltic states or Poland… Russia cannot stop; it can only be stopped… (Otherwise) others will learn the lesson that using force against Western interests works… We cannot proceed in a peace-like mode any longer.”
Indeed, there is war in Europe, war in the Middle East, jihadist insurgency throughout Africa, rising tension across the Taiwan Strait, and Iran and North Korea threaten havoc upon their neighbors. It does appear that mere anarchy is loosed upon the world. World leader after world leader has warned that these are the most dangerous times of our lives. The growing uncertainty and fear is not unjustified.
Not surprisingly there was much gnashing of teeth at the Paris Forum about the Russia/Ukraine war. Although Putin’s ultimate victory is far from assured, nor is Russia’s defeat and the prospect of a frozen conflict with Russia in occupation of 20 percent of Ukraine would be a serious blow to Europe and the West. Putin is increasingly brutal at home and bellicose abroad, threatening the Baltics, the Nordics, Moldova, and even Poland, not to mention increasingly frequent Russian threats—both implicit and explicit—of nuclear escalation.
Frontline states including the Baltic and Nordic states, Poland, Romania, and Moldova have been raising constant alarms but leaders of the larger states—particularly France, Germany, and the United States—seem frozen on the back foot—too fearful of escalation to do what is needed to defeat Russia. And their fear of escalation has been completely commandeered by Putin’s “escalate to de-escalate” strategy, leaving the West effectively deterred.
That was the context of the first Paris Defense and Strategy Forum.
But wait! on February 26 President Macron said what no other Western leader wanted to say: NATO boots on the ground in Ukraine cannot be ruled out! Was this just another instance of Macron being Macron? Or has Macron finally realized that Putin cannot be appeased, that Europe is at war with Russia, and that the French people must be prepared for a time of war? Was he riffing off the top of his head, or was he cunningly injecting strategic ambiguity to sow doubt into Putin’s final Ukraine plan? Not to mention that this year France will finally reach the NATO target of 2 percent of GDP on defense spending.
Macron was immediately rebutted by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, but his inconvenient statement has ignited a lively debate. On March 8 Poland’s foreign minister Radek Sikorski stated that the presence of NATO forces in Ukraine is “not unthinkable” and that he “appreciated” the French president for not ruling out the idea. In a March 10 interview Czech Republic President Petr Pavel stated he is not opposed to the official deployment of alliance troops to Ukraine. Just a few days later Finnish Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen agreed Western countries should not rule out the notion of sending troops to Ukraine. Baltic leaders have long been outspoken about the gravity of the Russian threat. Last month Lithuania’s Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis said Wednesday he was grateful for the debate that Macron had initiated, adding “nothing can be taken off the table, no option can be rejected out of hand,” while Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas insisted nothing should be ruled out in the effort to ensure that Ukraine wins and Russia loses the war. The ambiguity in the Western position that Macron has introduced should be welcomed. It is not in the West’s interest to limit its own options.
In addition to the topical issues of the day the Paris Defence and Security Forum provided insight into the human requirements for future European security beyond just military alone. According to General Benoit Durieux—Director of the Institute of Higher Studies of National Defence—“We must think in a larger framework—the non-military dimension of national defense…. Including how to counter the narratives of the authoritarian states.” A stream of sessions focused on the need to attract France’s best and brightest to the vocation of national security. A session on coercive negotiation underscored the inconvenient reality that not all conflicts have win/win options. At the Ecole Militaire General Durieux encourages transformative pedagogy in professional military education to cultivate the critical thinking strategists needed to prevail in the 21st century and highlighted the Ecole de Guerre’s leadership in this.
General Thierry Burkhard, Chief of Staff of the French Armed Forces, concluded the forum with a very sober characterization of the current security environment; “The dynamic of force has supplanted the system of law. Using one’s military power has once again become a sign of expression or affirmation of sovereignty… There is a desire to create an alternative order by countries whose common denominator is the rejection of the North, that is to say the West. Russia wants to tear down the edifice of international law put in place after the Second World War.”
Is this apparent ferment in France sufficient to motivate European and American leaders—to wake them up from their sleepwalking stroll toward defeat? Will it wake up European somnambulant publics? Is it possible Macron’s strategic ambiguity and the Paris Defence and Strategy Forum are indicative of a more strategically resolute France? That would be very welcome, but talk is talk; will French defense spending flatline at 2 percent? Will France be the first to station forces on the ground in Ukraine? Is France willing to call Putin’s bluff? Even if France does take the lead, will others follow? We shall see.

A violent thug with a long rap sheet was captured on video sucker-punching a helpless Brooklyn school bus aide, knocking out three of her teeth and leaving her with a broken jaw. Unfortunately, in true New York fashion, he was given a slap on the wrist and will soon return to the streets.
As PIX 11 reported, 57-year-old Dulche Pichardo was returning home from work at about 5 p.m. Tuesday when a man approached and smacked her in the face on the sidewalk of Grand Avenue near Dean Street in Crown Heights.
“He just punched me on the right side here, very strong,” Pichardo told PIX11. “I was surprised. I said, ‘What’s going on? Why did you hit me? Why did you do it?’ I didn’t do anything. No reason to hit me.”
Pichardo revealed she lost three teeth and suffered facial fractures and nerve damage from the vicious assault. She also suffered a broken jaw, which has been wired shut.
The New York Post reports Pichardo will have to drink food out of a straw for several weeks.
Video footage shows Pichardo walking down the street with her assailant lying in wait against a wall. As she walks by, the thug swings with full force, hitting Pichardo square in the face.
Pichardo is then seen stumbling backward after the blow.

The Post reported that Pichardo’s brother, who owns a nearby restaurant, and an employee chased down the lowlife. Police later identified him as 33-year-old Franz Jeudy.
Jeudy has SEVEN prior arrests for assault, including one in 2018, when he was charged with second-degree assault in the attack on a cop.
Despite causing severe injuries to Pichardo, Jeudy was charged with third-degree assault, which is only a misdemeanor. Even worse, WABC reports he will be released back onto the street.
The assault on Pichardo is the latest involving lowlife thugs sucker-punching helpless women for fun in the Big Apple. The Gateway Pundit reported Wednesday that several young women posted their chilling experiences on Tiktok, reliving the horror of their violent attacks and detailing the injuries they suffered.
In one incident, Halle Kate, a content creator and influencer, was sucker-punched by 40-year-old Skiboky Stora while she was walking on the sidewalk and passed out afterward. Kate was left with a giant goose egg swelling on the right side of her head.
“I was just walking on the sidewalk, and my head was down, and I was like looking at my phone, just sending an email,” Kate said. “But there was so much room on the sidewalk, and literally nobody was around, and I guess this man, I don’t know if he punched me or if he elbowed me. I literally passed out.”
More innocent women will suffer similar or worse fates as Pichardo unless New York City removes their far-left city officials including communist Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. When will the breaking point come for everyday New Yorkers?

It looks like RFK Jr. may have just handed Donald Trump the 2024 election; at least, that’s how the DNC is acting.
The Gateway Pundit reports,
The Democrat Party seemed uneasy after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced his choice of Nicole Shanahan as his vice president pick.
According to recent reports, the Democrat National Convention has ramped up attacks on Kennedy, claiming the pair will boost former President Donald Trump’s chances of securing the 2024 election.
Pro-President Joe Biden supporters are attacking Kennedy for appointing Shanahan as his VP—a California-based attorney and progressive activist.
For all of their talk about ‘our democracy,’ Democrats are simultaneously furious and terrified about RFK and other third party candidates.
Folks at the DNC apparently even held an ’emergency’ call over this.
According to recent reports, the Democrat National Convention has ramped up attacks on Kennedy, claiming the pair will boost former President Donald Trump’s chances of securing the 2024 election.
The DNC must have realized that Joe Biden’s campaign is losing water and fast. After arguably the worst term of a president in modern history, Americans are tired of creepy Joe.
If RFK Jr. can pull any of Joe Biden’s dwindling support, that might just be the final nail in the coffin. Democrats are scrambling and waging an all-out attack campaign in an effort to stop the inevitable.

The FBI is trying to bury famed Boston mobster Whitey Bulger’s file forever.
“It’s as if Bulger never existed,” The Boston Herald’s Joe Dwinell said.
The Boston Herald requested Bulger’s law enforcement records through a FOIA lawsuit, but the FBI came back and said they are no longer releasing any files related to the deceased mobster.
“The records responsive to your request are law enforcement records; there is a pending or prospective law enforcement proceeding relevant to these responsive records, and release of the information could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings. Therefore, your request is being administratively closed,” the FBI stated in a letter to the Boston Herald.
The Herald said they will appeal.
Excerpt from The Boston Herald:
The FBI is closing the book on the agency’s “corrupt” handling of James “Whitey” Bulger — forever.
The feds are refusing to make any further installments of Bulger’s case file public, saying the records are “investigative” and no longer subject to the Freedom of Information Act.
They did not divulge what investigation Bulger’s case could still be linked to, considering the former Southie mobster was murdered while in a West Virginia prison in August 2018 by two fellow inmates. He was 89 and wheelchair-bound at the time of his death.
It has also long been speculated that Bulger hid millions of dollars in foreign bank accounts that have yet to be discovered.
Bulger’s former FBI handler, John “Zip” Connolly, is also back in Massachusetts on a compassionate release and is appealing his case. He was given only years to live.
89-year-old James ‘Whitey’ Bulger was killed in prison by a ‘fellow inmate with mafia ties’ shortly after he was transferred to a West Virginia federal prison in 2018.
Bulger was reportedly wheeled away from security cameras and beaten with a lock in a sock and also had his eyes gouged out.
Sources told The Daily Mail that Whitey Bulger was about to out people in the FBI, specifically FBI officials of the informant program.
In 2022, the Justice Department announced 3 men, including a mafia hitman has been charged for the murder of Whitey Bulger.
The Whitey Bulger-Robert Mueller connection:
Robert Mueller’s minions helped mobster Whitey Bulger eliminate mob competitors, says Congressman Louie Gohmert
In May, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) previously published a 48-page report called “Robert Mueller Unmasked” to expose the Special Counsel’s decades of corruption.
In the extensive report, Gohmert covered Mueller’s shady past of helping mobster Whitey Bulger by eliminating mob competitors.
The Boston Globe noted Robert Mueller’s connection with the Whitey Bulger case in an article entitled, “One Lingering Question for FBI Director Robert Mueller.” The Globe said this:
“[Mike] Albano [former Parole Board Member who was threatened by two F.B.I. agents for considering parole for the men imprisoned for a crime they did not commit] was appalled that, later that same year, Mueller was appointed FBI director, because it was Mueller, first as an assistant US attorney then as the acting U.S. attorney in Boston, who wrote letters to the parole and pardons board throughout the 1980s opposing clemency for the four men framed by FBI lies. Of course, Mueller was also in that position while Whitey Bulger was helping the FBI cart off his criminal competitors even as he buried bodies in shallow graves along the Neponset…”
Mueller put people in prison for crimes they did not commit:
“Mueller was the head of the Criminal Division as Assistant U.S. Attorney, then as Acting U.S. Attorney. I could not find any explanation online by Mueller as to why he insisted on keeping the defendants in prison that FBI agents—in the pocket of Whitey Bulger—had framed for a murder they did not commit. Make no mistake: these were not honorable people he had incarcerated. But it was part of a pattern that eventually became quite clear that Mueller was more concerned with convicting and putting people in jail he disliked, even if they were innocent of the charges, than he was with ferreting out the truth,” Gohmert said.

Harvard University has announced it will remove a book made from human skin from its Houghton library.
In a press release, Harvard said the book Des Destinées de l’Ame, which has been in its library since the 1930s, will be removed from its shelves.
The decision by Harvard to remove the book comes ten years after scientists confirmed the book’s binding was, in fact, bound with human skin.
According to Harvard, the book’s first owner was French physician Dr. Ludovic Bouland, who bound the book with skin from a deceased female patient in a hospital where he was employed.
In the last decade, students employed in Houghton Library were allegedly hazed by being asked to retrieve the skin-bound book.
Harvard University removes human skin binding from book https://t.co/CKPhgv2KBi
— BBC News (UK) (@BBCNews) March 28, 2024
Per Harvard Library:
Harvard Library has removed human skin from the binding of a copy of Arsène Houssaye’s book Des destinées de l’âme (1880s), held at Houghton Library. The volume’s first owner, French physician and bibliophile Dr. Ludovic Bouland (1839–1933), bound the book with skin he took without consent from the body of a deceased female patient in a hospital where he worked. The book has been in the collections of Harvard Library since 1934, initially placed on deposit by John B. Stetson, Jr. (1884–1952), an American diplomat, businessman, and Harvard alumnus (AB 1906), and later through donation by his widow Ruby F. Stetson to Houghton Library in 1954.
The removal of the human skin from Des destinées de l’âme follows a review by Houghton Library of the book’s stewardship, prompted by the recommendations of the Report of the Harvard University Steering Committee on Human Remains in University Museum Collections issued in fall 2022. After careful study, stakeholder engagement, and consideration, Harvard Library and the Harvard Museum Collections Returns Committee concluded that the human remains used in the book’s binding no longer belong in the Harvard Library collections, due to the ethically fraught nature of the book’s origins and subsequent history.
In the course of its review, the library noted several ways in which its stewardship practices failed to meet the level of ethical standards to which it subscribes. Until relatively recently, the library has made the book available to anyone who asked for it, regardless of their reason for wishing to consult it.
Library lore suggests that decades ago, students employed to page collections in Houghton’s stacks were hazed by being asked to retrieve the book without being told it included human remains. In 2014, following the scientific analysis that confirmed the book to be bound in human skin, the library published posts on the Houghton blog that utilized a sensationalistic, morbid, and humorous tone that fueled similar international media coverage.

The LGBT “pride” mafia, with its characteristic blend of self-pity and mercilessness, has targeted yet another young, Christian, female athlete.
Korbin Albert, a 20-year-old midfielder on the U.S. women’s national soccer team, recently shared Christian-themed social media posts that discussed the immoral nature of homosexuality and “feeling transgender,” according to the U.K.’s Daily Mail.
Her posts brought a sharp rebuke from retired USWNT player and LGBT activist Megan Rapinoe, who described her comments as “hate.”
The scolding called forth an apology from Albert on Thursday that had all the scripted insincerity of a hostage video.
“I want to sincerely apologize for my actions on social media. Liking and sharing posts that are offensive, insensitive and hurtful was immature and disrespectful which was never my intent,” Albert wrote in an Instagram Story post. “I’m really disappointed in myself and am deeply sorry for the hurt that I have caused to my teammates, other players, fans, friends and anyone who was offended.”
“I truly believe that everyone should feel safe and respected everywhere and on all playing fields. I know my actions have not lived up to that and for that I sincerely apologize. It’s an honor and a privilege to get to play this sport and on the world stage and I promise to do better,” she added.
No word on whether Albert finished typing that post before or after USWNT officials lowered the gun from her head.
Albert’s Instagram and TikTok accounts feature acknowledgments of her Christian faith. Each includes a version of the phrase “Jesus is king.”
The original Christian-themed posts that prompted the Rapinoe-led backlash have since been deleted.
On Instagram, Rapinoe responded to those posts with victim-mongering and inversions of truth.
“To the people who want to hide behind ‘my beliefs’ I would just ask one question, are you making any time of space safer, more inclusive, more whole, any semblance of better, bringing the best out of anyone? … because if you aren’t all you believe in is hate. And Kids are literally killing themselves because of this hate. Wake TF up! Yours Truly, #15,” the outspoken lesbian wrote.
Though she did not mention anyone by name, Rapinoe later confirmed to The Athletic that she had Albert in mind.
“For all my trans homies enduring this horrific treatment day in and day out, I see you and hear you and I am WITH YOU,” she added on Instagram.
Albert, who also plays with the club team Paris Saint-Germain, also deleted a post from the Fourth of July weekend in which she and her family took turns declaring that “their pronouns are U.S.A.”
As OutKick’s Mark Harris rightly noted, “Albert appears to have deleted that video from her page because being a proud American and joking about pronouns is essentially a crime in the year 2024.”
The young midfielder, of course, faced an insane amount of pressure from the woke mob.
In fact, she might even have recalled the fate of former player Jaelene Daniels (née Hinkle), “who largely stopped appearing with the USWNT after expressing anti-LGBTQ+ beliefs she said were rooted in her religion,” per The Athletic.
Or perhaps she has heard of the treatment former University of Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines and others have endured simply for insisting that men have no place in women’s sports.
Either way, while we might have wanted Albert to stand firm, we also know the diabolical forces arrayed against her.
And that leads us to Rapinoe’s outlandish claims of “horrific treatment” and kids “literally killing themselves because of this hate.”
No matter how hard she has tried, the former soccer star cannot make herself and LGBT “kids” the victims.
After all, who deleted the posts? Who had to issue an apology? And why did that apology sound as if it came straight from a human resources department’s template?
Could it be that powerful people regularly demand such Maoist struggle sessions from anyone who expresses unapproved views?
On the other hand, who equated “beliefs” with “hate”? Who discussed “kids” in the context of sexual identity? Did that person have to delete her posts or issue an apology?
In short, we should love, pity and pray for Rapinoe. But we should not allow a member of the privileged “pride” mafia to destroy another young, Christian, female athlete while simultaneously posing as the victim.

In an appalling violation of the code of ethics, US District Judge Reggie Walton went on CNN to speak publicly about pending legal matters.
Judge Walton, a Bush appointee, spoke with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins Thursday evening about threats he has received after he called Trump a “charlatan” and rendered excessive punishment to J6 defendants.
“I’ve had more threats than what used to be the case,” the judge said referring to a January 6 case he oversaw.
Even Kaitlan Collins conceded that it is “rare that we get to hear from a sitting federal judge.”
“I’m wondering, what made you speak out tonight and speak publicly?” Kaitlan Collins asked Judge Walton.
“I think it’s important in order to preserve our democracy that we maintain the rule of law…I think it’s important that we judges speak out..” Walton said.
Kaitlan Collins repeatedly asked Judge Walton about Trump’s statements on Judge Juan Merchan and his daughter.
President Trump on Wednesday said the daughter of the far-left judge who just hit him with a gag order in the Stormy Daniels ‘hush payment’ case posted a photo of him behind bars.
Trump called on NY Judge Juan Merchan to recuse himself after his daughter who represents “Crooked Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Adam “Shifty” Schiff, and other Radical Liberals,” posted a picture of him in jail.
An X account allegedly belonging to Loren Merchan (it hasn’t been confirmed to be her account) posted a photo of Trump behind bars. The photo has since been changed to a picture of Kamala Harris.
Judge Walton has blocked video and audio from his courtroom as he throws the book at J6 defendants but he ran to CNN rip Trump about a pending legal matter.
Walton, a SITTING JUDGE, weighed in on Trump’s statements defending himself against Judge Merchan, his conflicted daughter Loren Merchan and the latest gag order.
“It’s very disconcerting to have someone making comments about a judge, and it’s particularly problematic when those comments are in the form of a threat, especially if they’re directed at one’s family,” Walton said. “We do these jobs because we’re committed to the rule of law and we believe in the rule of law, and the rule of law can only function effectively when we have judges who are prepared to carry out their duties without the threat of potential physical harm.”
WATCH:
Recall that Judge Walton went off on President Trump after a jury in his court indicted a non-violent J6 defendant on six charges.
“I think our democracy is in trouble because, unfortunately, we have charlatans like our former president who doesn’t, in my view, really care about democracy but only about power,” Walton previously said.

Radical pro-Palestinian protesters heckled Holocaust survivor Susanne DeWitt, an 89-year-old Holocaust survivor and called Jews “Zionist Pigs” during a City Council meeting in Berkeley, California this week.
The Jew-haters also chanted “from the river to the sea” a famous expression in support of the extermination of Jews in Israel during the meeting.
Susanne DeWitt was speaking in favor of Berkeley’s Holocaust Remembrance Day when the protesters continued to disrupt her and would not let her finish.
The mob action was captured by The Jewish Community Relations Council.
Susanne DeWitt: Over six million Jews were murdered in the Holocaust. And many more were left with scarred lives. I urge the Berkeley City Council to pass the Holocaust Remembrance Day Proclamation because we are currently witnessing a tremendous surge in anti-Semitism. Jews are now under existential threat. The invasion by Hamas that broke a ceasefire…
Mob: Time! Time!
Susanne DeWitt: Led to the murder of 1,200 Israelis and the brutal torture and rape of women.
Mob: Lies! Lies!… Stop Lying!
This ended with more screaming by the mob as Susanne DeWitt attempted to finish her remarks.
What a disrespectful, disgusting bunch!

The Gateway Pundit reported that the top US intelligence agency sent out a list recently of banned terms that may be offensive to some Americans.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) is responsible for handling the country’s spy apparatus.
The list released by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) includes terms like “jihadists” and “radical Islamists” that may be offensive to all Muslims.
As more and more Western countries are continuously invaded by foreign invaders – one especially pernicious subset of these hordes has attracted the attention of the US Intelligence Agencies. But not in the way you may think – and their willingness to pander to this group will SHOCK you. Elijah Schaffer explains more in today’s Beyond the Headlines!

Biden shouldn’t need to work too hard for those votes since many people who voted for her were Democrats anyway.
Data obtained by AP VoteCast found that 40 percent of those who voted for Nikki Haley in the South Carolina primary were Democrats who voted for Joe Biden in 2020.
The Associated Press found, “About 9 in 10 Trump voters said they were driven by their support for him, not by objections to his opponent. Haley’s voters were much more divided: About half were motivated by supporting her, but nearly as many turned out to oppose Trump.”
The report added, “Who is her coalition? Haley dominated among South Carolina voters who correctly said that Democrat Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election. Roughly three-quarters of her supporters say Biden was legitimately elected president in 2020, and about 4 in 10 voted for Biden in that election. Her problem is that about 6 in 10 Republican primary voters say they believed Biden was not legitimately elected.”

A poll conducted ahead of the Iowa caucuses by NBC News, the Des Moines Register, and Iowa pollster Selzer & Co. had similar results and found that Haley supporters in Iowa were twice as likely to vote for Joe Biden as Donald Trump.
The pollsters asked likely Iowa caucus-goers, “If Donald Trump is the Republican nominee in the general election in November, would you vote for him, vote for Joe Biden, vote for independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., or vote for some other third-party candidate?”
Across the board, just 11 percent of Republican caucus-goes said they would flip and vote for Biden if Trump became the nominee. Looking only at Haley supporters, that number jumped to a whopping 43 percent.
Just 23 percent of Haley’s supporters in Iowa said they would vote for Trump over Biden.
In 2019, Haley was elected to Boeing’s board of directors months after leaving her post in the Trump administration. At the time, she had a net worth less than $1 million.
“Post her tenure, reports surfaced that Haley boosted her fortune eight-fold — to $8 million — after leaving the Trump administration,” the New York Post reported at the time.
Soon after, the former UN ambassador purchased a $2.4 million waterfront estate on Kiawah Island.

Javier Milei has shot up to political power in Argentina by saying what he thinks out loud, and not mincing words. And after elected President, he is not toning down.
He has now, in an interview with CNN, leveled harsh criticism at a number of Latin American socialist leaders such as Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro, Colombia’s Gustavo Petro and Mexico’s Lopez Obrador.
It bears mentioning that Petro is a former member of the M-19 Marxist guerilla group, and has admitted publicly to have killed people as in this capacity.
Milei, on X:
“Obviously, the operating media overlooked the recurrent aggressions I have received from the individuals in question. Maybe they consider it acceptable for other leaders to attack me, and that defending myself is wrong.”
Now, the mudslinging has developed into a fully blown diplomatic crisis.
Associated Press reported:
“It heated up after Milei lashed out at Petro in an interview with CNN, excerpts of which aired Wednesday night, prompting his Colombian counterpart to order Argentine diplomats out of his country.
“Not much can be expected from someone who was a terrorist murderer,” Milei said in one excerpt, a reference to Petro’s past as a member of a guerrilla group. CNN’s full interview is scheduled to air Sunday.
Milei and Petro harbor opposite political and economic ideologies. Petro won the presidency with pledges to create social programs to aid Colombia’s long-neglected poor, while Milei — a self-described anarcho-capitalist — promised to slash government spending while eliminating ministries and costly programs as a means to rein in triple-digit inflation. He even toted a chainsaw on the campaign trail to illustrate just how aggressive were his intended cuts.”
The two combative leaders have vowed to fix their nations’ economic and social woes.
Of course, Petro wants to improve Colombia with the playbook that has historically produced nothing but poverty throughout Latin America.
“Colombia’s foreign ministry said in a statement Wednesday night that they were expelling Argentine diplomats because Milei’s recent attacks have ‘deteriorated the confidence of our nation, in addition to offending the dignity of the president’. Officials did not clarify who would be subject to the announced expulsions.
Milei previously called Petro ‘a murderous communist’ who is sinking his country, and referred to socialists as ‘human excrement’. Petro responded on his social media channels that ‘this is what Hitler said’.”
In the same CNN interview, Milei also responded to Mexico’s president, calling him an ‘ignorant’.
López Obrador, a Petro ally and Milei critic, jumped to Petro’s defense, writing on social media that ‘I still do not understand how the Argentines, being so intelligent, elected someone like Milei’.
Obrador as a good leftist, likes the Peronists that drove 60 per cent of Argentines below the poverty line.

As reported earlier – In response to NASA’s report that a total solar eclipse will occur on April 8, 2024, New York authorities are warning New Yorkers to be prepared.
In a recent press release by the New York state police, officials warned residents to be prepared for cellular disruptions, slow 9/11 response times, gridlocked traffic, and food/water demand during the upcoming total solar eclipse.
Also included in the press release was a list of suggestions calling for residents to stock up on food, water, and fuel.
The warning by New York state police comes as the department looks to learn from their responses to the 2017 solar eclipse.
We’re just a little more than two weeks away from this year’s total solar eclipse, and while many neighbors, visitors, and businesses are preparing for this historic day, so are New York State Police.https://t.co/1nwXo8YjRC
— NewsChannel 9 (@NewsChannel9) March 21, 2024
The New York State Police, in close collaboration with other state, local, and federal law enforcement, emergency services, and transportation agencies, has meticulously developed an emergency operation plan. Our unwavering goal is to provide a comprehensive and uniform presence, ensuring the safety of both visitors and residents as they experience and travel home from the eclipse. Members of the State Police will implement security measures appropriate for large gatherings and take all necessary actions to maintain order and smooth traffic flow.
Building on past experiences, the planning process for this event has been proactive, aiming to address potential impacts within Troop E. Our goal is to minimize any adverse effects associated with the large influx of visitors to the local area. This approach is based on the lessons learned from the 2017 solar eclipse, where some regions experienced a 100 percent increase in their population in the days leading up to and during the eclipse.
Josh Stylman famously stepped down as CEO of Threes Brewing in Brooklyn, New York, a company he co-founded, after he called Joe Biden’s vaccine mandates a “crime against humanity.”
But this has not stopped Stylman from speaking his truth.
Josh Stylman released posted a thread on X that includes some startling facts about this upcoming eclipse.
The timing of this eclipse comes 6 years, 6 months, 6 days from last major eclipse on August 21, 2017.
** Actually this comes out to slightly over 6 years and 7 months
First, it is interesting that the last eclipse was on August 21, 2017, exactly 6 years, 6 months, 6 weeks, and 6 days from this upcoming one. Anyone that studies symbolism and numerology, understands those numbers seem to play a prevalent role in the world we don't see. pic.twitter.com/BKz9E0CPZC

And the eclipse crosses over SEVEN American towns named Nineveh!
We checked out these towns on a map ourselves.
That’s strange.
Nineveh is the name of an ancient Assyrian town.
It gets more surreal though… if you follow the path of the eclipse it also crosses directly over 7 cities named Nineveh (not to mention Jonah, TX, Rapture, IN, and The Ark in KY).

A federal judge on Wednesday struck down the Biden Regime’s highway climate rule that ‘tracks carbon pollution.’
Last year the Biden Regime finalized its greenhouse gas emissions reduction tool to provide states with framework and funding so they can track drivers.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said the new climate rule “provides states with a clear and consistent framework to track carbon pollution.”
“Every state has its own unique climate challenges, and every state ought to have the data, funding, and flexibility it needs to meet those challenges head on,” said US Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. “This new performance measure will provide states with a clear and consistent framework to track carbon pollution and the flexibility to set their own climate targets—which we will also help them meet with more than $27 billion in federal funding through President Biden’s Investing in America agenda.”
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton sued the Biden Regime and said the Department of Transportation (DOT) “does not have the authority to institute such a rule, and the mandate violates the Administrative Procedure Act.”
US District Judge James Wesley Hendrix, a Trump appointee, on Wednesday struck down the climate rule and said it was “unauthorized.”
Fox News reported:
A U.S. judge ruled against the Biden administration in a decision about a highway climate rule on Wednesday.
The rule was issued by the Department of Transportation (DOT)’s Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in December 2023. It requires states to measure and report the greenhouse gas emissions from any vehicles using the U.S. highway system.
The rule also asked states to establish declining carbon dioxide targets, and to report back about progress on those goals. Texas sued the DOT in response.
U.S. District Judge James Wesley Hendrix, a Trump appointee, ruled in favor of Texas and wrote on Wednesday that “the rule was unauthorized.”

New York Democrat Governor Kathy Hochul was asked to leave the wake for murdered NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller Friday afternoon following a confrontation with a man in attendance.
As the New York Post reported, Hochul arrived at the Massapequa Funeral Home on Long Island for the second day of viewings around 1:45 p.m. But the governor had been in the venue for only 10 minutes before she was spotted clashing with a man in a black suit, according to the outlet.
A member of the audience reportedly said, “Get her out of here!” before Hochul was booted.
Several police officers then reportedly clapped and cheered after she vacated the premises.
The Post notes that Hochul and other New York Democrat lawmakers have been blasted since Diller’s death over bail reform because one of the men involved in the shooting was set free following a gun charge last spring.
Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) points out that Diller would still be alive if Hochul had the guts to repeal bail reform. He said she should be ashamed of herself for showing her face at the wake.
Officer Diller would still be alive today if @KathyHochul had the political courage to repeal bail reform and keep career criminals in prison. Shame on her for folding to the radical left each and every time and shame on her for having the gall to show her face at this wake. https://t.co/8EkZM4FVKs
— Mike Lawler (@lawler4ny) March 29, 2024
The reception Hochul received pales in contrast to the reception President Trump received. As Jim Hoft revealed, family and friends of Officer Jonathan Diller broke out in cheers for Trump when he left the wake.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported young NYPD officer Jonathan Diller was killed in broad daylight late Monday afternoon by a career criminal who had no business living free thanks to the city’s lawless crime policies.
The senseless shooting happened around 5:50 p.m. in Queens after cops approached a dark gray Kia Soul that was illegally parked in front of a metered zone. Diller screamed he had been “hit” after the suspect opened fire.
The gunman was identified as 34-year-old Guy Rivera, who has 21 prior arrests. The vehicle’s driver was named as 41-year-old Lindy Jones, who has 14 known prior arrests.
Jones has been taken into custody and charged with criminal possession of a weapon and possession of a defaced firearm. Rivera is being held without bail on first-degree murder charges.

On the one hand, French President Emmanuel Macron is warmongering, and has floated sending ground troops to the Ukraine war, in a move criticized not only by both Russia and by his own NATO allied leaders but also by members of his own military, with one senior stating:
“We must make no mistake, facing the Russians, we are an army of cheerleaders!”

But on the other hand, back in the real world, France’s military has been booted out of Africa, and the Republic has significant major problems maintaining security inside their own territory.
Who can forget that Emmanuel Macron and France Celebrate ‘Only’ 745 Vehicles Torched on New Year’s Eve?
And venues for the upcoming Summer Olympics are not safe, either: While Macron Warmongers, France Is Still a Chaos, as 50 People Attack Police Station in Olympic Venue Area of Paris (VIDEO)
So, it is not unsurprising that France has asked 46 countries to supply more than 2,000 police officers to help secure the Paris Olympics this summer.
Sure enough, there’s nothing inherently wrong or shameful about this request, but one is left wondering which is the real France: the one waging war on foreign lands or the one that needs help providing basic internal security.
Organizers are wrapping up the security planning for the Games while on heightened alert against potential terrorist attacks.
The officers are sought to help with Games security and ‘the spectator experience’.
Associated Press reported:
“’This is a classic approach of host countries for the organization of major international events’, the ministry added.
It noted that France sent 200 of its gendarmes to soccer’s World Cup in Qatar in 2022 and also welcomed 160 officers from other European security forces for the Rugby World Cup that France hosted last year.
Separately, the French Defense Ministry has also asked foreign nations for ‘small numbers’ of military personnel who could help with ‘very specific’ tasks at the Games, including sniffer dog teams, said Col. Pierre Gaudillière, spokesman for the army general staff.”
France’s call has produced some results, as Poland’s defense minister will send soldiers to the Paris Games.
The Polish will send dog handlers, and ‘its main goal will be to undertake activities related to the detection of explosives and counteracting terrorist phenomena.’
“Security is the biggest challenge for Paris Games organizers in a city that has been repeatedly hit by deadly attacks by Islamic extremists and which is expecting as many as 15 million visitors for the July 26-Aug. 11 Games and Paralympics that follow.
Security concerns are notably high for the opening ceremony, which will involve boats along the Seine River and huge crowds watching from the embankments.”

Young white women are randomly getting punched in the face while walking down the street in the Democrat hellhole of New York City.
TGP was one of the first outlets to report on this disturbing trend.
The victims have taken to TikTok to describe their horrifying experiences.
Halley Kate, a young blonde TikTok user, shared a video on Monday morning telling her story.
A black man punched her, leaving a giant goose egg swelling on the right side of her head.
In the video that has been seen over 21.3 million times she said, “You guys. I was literally just walking, and a man came up and punched me in the face. It hurts so bad. I can’t even talk. Literally, I fell to the ground, and now this giant goose egg is forming, and I’m like, oh my God. So crazy.”
Police arrested Skiboky Stora, 40, and charged him with assault on Wednesday for violently attacking Halley Kate.

‘Housewives’ star Bethenny Frankel said she was also punched in the face while she was in NYC apartment shopping.
Frankel said she was in New York City looking at apartments when she stopped in a bakery for a minute or two.
As she was walking out of the bakery, she got punched in the face.
“I was completely stunned,” Frankel said.
Frankel said she immediately texted her broker and said she doesn’t want to see apartments anymore.
“The City is insane,” she said.

The Biden regime has issued the toughest-ever regulations targeting emissions generated from heavy-duty vehicles, including trucks and buses, in their latest effort to force drivers to adopt garbage electric vehicles.
As Fox News reported, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced the new regulations Friday morning. The rules will go into effect beginning in 2026 for model year 2027 vehicles and become more stringent through model year 2032.
The outlet notes this will force more trucks and buses to be zero-emission vehicles within that time frame. Less than 1% of all new truck sales in America are currently zero emissions.
White House Climate Advisor Ali Zaidi laughably claimed these new regulations will “unlock extraordinary public health, climate, and economic gains.”
“EPA’s standards complement President Biden’s unprecedented investment in our workers and communities to reduce harmful emissions while strengthening our manufacturing capacity for the transportation technologies of the future,” said Zaidi. “By tackling pollution from heavy-duty vehicles, we can unlock extraordinary public health, climate, and economic gains.”
Fox News reports the new mandates apply to short-haul and long-haul tractor-trailer trucks, as well as vocational trucks like delivery vehicles, garbage trucks, school and public transit buses, concrete trucks, and fire trucks. By 2032, 50% of vocational trucks, 35% of short-haul tractor-trailers, and 25% of long-haul tractor-trailers could be electric, according to EPA estimates.
The EPA estimates the new limits will wipe out a billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions.
Todd Spencer, president of the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, told Fox News the Biden regime seems determined to eliminate small businesses with these destructive regulations.
“Small business truckers, who happen to care about clean air for themselves and their kids as much as anyone, make up 96% of trucking,” said Spencer. “Yet, this administration seems dead set on regulating every local mom-and-pop business out of existence with its flurry of unworkable environmental mandates.”
As the Gateway Pundit previously reported, the Biden regime has been on a warpath against the gas-powered vehicles. Just last week, Biden issued the most radical environmental rules in American history to phase out gasoline-powered vehicles and force customers to drive ineffective electric cars.
Automakers will be forced to rapidly curb the emissions of greenhouse gases, hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter from new passenger cars, light trucks, and larger pickups and vans, beginning with the model year 2027 vehicles.
When the tailpipe emissions rules kick in, automakers will be compelled to increase production and sales of EVs, plug-in hybrids, traditional hybrids, and fuel cell vehicles. Under one “low cost” model EPA outlined in the rule, automakers must ensure 56% of light-duty car sales are battery electric and another 13% are hybrid by 2032.
The Regime has also received backup from eight states to force Americans to drive environmentally damaging electric vehicles. These states are California, Rhode Island, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, and Washington. The District of Columbia has also signed off.

The New York Police Department will launch the technology in some subway stations beginning in June.
The Hill reports:
The weapons detection technology will be implemented in late June following a 90-day waiting period, in which police will identify companies that carry this technology and evaluate the technology’s effectiveness. Adams did not disclose which subway stations will be picked for the program.
During Thursday’s press conference at the Fulton Street Subway Station, Adams unveiled a scanner from Massachusetts-based security technology company Evolv, which has faced allegations of doctoring its testing results, The Associated Press reported.
“Keeping New Yorkers safe on the subway and maintaining confidence in the system is key to ensuring that New York remains the safest big city in America,” Adams said during the press conference.
Adams continued, “Today’s announcement is the next step in our ongoing efforts to keep dangerous weapons out of our transit system and to provide greater mental health services for New Yorkers in crisis.”
The report added, “As of Sunday, the NYPD seized a total of 450 weapons, including 19 illegal guns, in the New York City transit system this year, the mayor’s office said. This is up from the 261 weapons, including nine guns, that were seized during the same period last year.”

“When you are the salt of the earth, you’re going to make people ‘salty,’ okay?”
Sage advice from Taylor Trice, a young woman who applied to work at a Starbucks coffee shop because she was interested in their tuition assistance program for Arizona State University’s online program.
“Prior to working at Starbucks, I knew nothing about it except that it was considered a bougie coffee shop,” Trice said in an interview, according to Fox News. “So I didn’t know that it was a very liberal company.”
In a TikTok video, Trice told the story of how she was fired from Starbucks because of her “Christian-conservative values.”
@edbl22 Replying to @Juniper Cove #christiantiktok #selfcare #growth #lgbt #starbucks ♬ original sound – edbl22
According to Fox News, the Starbucks in question was located in Apex, North Carolina.
Trice said as an employee of Starbucks for two years, she was used to June, which is celebrated as “pride month” by many woke companies, being the month of “tasting the rainbow” at Starbucks, when the company puts up “pride” decorations.
According to Trice, in prior years, no one had complained about her staying out of the celebrations.
“I’m not judging nobody, I’m just not about to go along with everything you want to do if it doesn’t go along with God’s Word,” Trice said.
But Trice said this particular year, “they went a little bit beyond the rainbow, and things were starting to taste sour and not sweet.”
Trice said Starbucks put up a glass wall near the cash register with definitions of different sexual attractions, which Trice was concerned was not something children who come into the cafe should be seeing.
“I didn’t shame them for it, but I was just telling them, like, you guys got to be careful, you know, we got families walking in here and kids are going to read that,” Trice said.
“I specifically said, even if the board had said ‘heterosexual’ — I just felt like that didn’t need to be added to the decorations.”
Trice told Fox News that even some of her colleagues agreed that the board wasn’t appropriate. The board also announced various types of pronouns including, “ze/zim, xe/xem – and even it/its.”
“[These] are less common but still valid. And you can always mix’n’match!” the chalkboard instructed, according to Trice, Fox News reported.
A second issue arose when Starbucks began to insist that employees address everyone by their preferred pronouns.
“I was willing to call the person by their name, I was willing to avoid using pronouns, but it is against my faith to lie, even if it’s the smallest lie. So that means if I see that you are a man and I call you a woman, that is lying, and that is … identifying you as something that God did not create you to be, and that is identifying you as something Satan wants to identify you as,” Trice said.

“Satan’s ultimate goal is to confuse you and deceive you about your identity,” she said.
Trice went on to share how she believes God gave her a “heads up” in a dream the day before her manager let her know that there had been complaints about her.
“There was a complaint that someone had made that, ‘Oh, I just feel like she is not comfortable with my identity,’ which I do not understand because I would talk to everyone there all the time. I was never making insults towards them or anything,” Trice told Fox News.
“After that day, I got fired,” Trice said.
Trice’s post went viral, and many commenters shared similar experiences at Starbucks or expressed support for the young woman.
“I was asked to leave a Starbucks for sitting quietly doing my Bible study. Never been back,” one commenter wrote.
“Well done. You didn’t bow down to the enemy. Thank you for standing firmly in your beliefs. I’ve been in your position before,” another comment read.
Prickly Pear Coffee Company from Nashville even offered Trice a job, commenting, “You can come work for us. Never waver in what’s important to you!”
Trice told Fox News she was grateful for all the support she had received after she told her story online.
“You know, obviously there was some backlash…but it was just really refreshing to see that, you know, I’m not alone in how I view this situation and how I view what the Bible says.” she said.
She added that she is now working as a house cleaner and is proud of speaking up.
According to Fox News, when asked to comment, Starbucks declined. However, a Starbucks spokesperson let them know that “Starbucks has no tolerance for discrimination or harassment of any kind in our stores, and we’re committed to fostering an environment where everyone is welcome, respected and valued.”
Apparently, that environment does not include Christians.
Unfortunately, Trice’s story is not an isolated one.
Increasingly, Christians are having to choose between adhering to their faith or making a living as the environment for people of faith continues to become more hostile.
For example, on Thursday, Korbin Albert, a midfielder for the U.S. women’s national team, had to publicly apologize for liking and reposting a Christian sermon that said being gay and feeling transgender was wrong, according to the New York Post.
While many will capitulate, for those who choose to stand, the journey is not easy.
But take courage.
In Matt. 19:29 Jesus told his followers, “And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life.”
Although “jobs” aren’t mentioned on the list, we can be pretty sure they count too.

The Venezuelan illegal who mocked Americans and instructed illegal aliens on how to invade American homes was arrested by ICE.
Leonel Moreno posted a video to TikTok giving illegal aliens tips on how to invade homes and live for free by exploiting ‘squatter’s rights.’
“If a house is not inhabited, we can seize it,” Moreno said in the video, which has now been viewed more than 4 million times.
In the controversial clip, Moreno spoke in Spanish and boasted about his plans to squat in the US.
“I have thought about invading a house in the United States,” he said. “I found out there is a law that says if a house is not inhabited, we can seize it. Here in the United States, the law of land invasion applies, and I think that will be my next business: invading abandoned houses.”

Moreno crossed the border illegally at Eagle Pass, Texas, in April 2022 on Joe Biden’s open border invitation.
He mocked Americans and bragged about getting government handouts.
“I didn’t cross the Rio Grande to work like a slave,” Moreno said in one Instagram video, according to the New York Post. “I came to the US to mark my territory.
“You’re hurt because I make more than you without much work while you work like slaves, understand?” Moreno said in another video, according to The Post.
“That’s the difference between you and me. I’m always going to make lots of money without much work, and you’re always going to be exploited and miserable and insignificant,” he said.
On Thursday it was reported that he was evading authorities. Moreno was on the run as a fugitive.
The Feds finally nabbed Moreno, according to The New York Post.
The New York Post reported:
Illegal ‘migrant influencer’ Leonel Moreno, who mocked America on social media in several viral videos, has been nabbed by federal immigration authorities.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) fugitive operations officers arrested Moreno in Columbus, Ohio, on Friday and he is currently being held at Geauga County Jail, according to ICE records.
The arrest comes after The Post exclusively reported how Moreno had skipped out on ICE soon after crossing the southern border into Texas illegally in 2022 and was now wanted by authorities.
While in the US, Moreno used his various social media channels to encourage other migrants to invade the country and squat the homes of American citizens, all while waving around wads of cash and flaunting what he said were government handouts.

Globalist Pope Francis continues to display worrying poor health as he skips a traditional Good Friday event.
Francis has recently said that his health is ‘good enough’ to keep continuing his pontificate, but the episodes of him not being able to perform his duties have multiplied lately.
This time the Pope skipped the Good Friday procession at Rome’s Coliseum to ‘protect his health’, in a last-minute decision that fuels concerns about his frail condition during a ‘busy’ and religiously significant period.
Associated Press reported:
“Francis had been expected to preside over the Way of the Cross procession, which re-enacts Christ’s Passion and crucifixion, and composed the meditations that are read aloud at each station. But just as the event was about to begin, the Vatican announced that Francis was following the event from his home at the Vatican.
‘To conserve his health in view of the vigil tomorrow and Mass on Easter Sunday, Pope Francis will follow the Via Crucis at the Coliseum this evening from the Casa Santa Marta’, a statement from the Vatican press office said.”
In 2023, Francis also did not attend the procession, because he was recovering from bronchitis.
This year, his absence came about in ways that suggest his plans changed abruptly.
“The 87-year-old Francis, who had part of one lung removed as a young man, has been battling what he and the Vatican have described as a case of the flu, bronchitis or a cold all winter long. For the last several weeks he has occasionally asked an aide to read aloud his speeches, and he skipped his Palm Sunday homily altogether.
The decision to stay home appeared to be very last-minute: Francis’ chair was in place on the platform outside the Coliseum where he was to preside over the rite. His close aide, Monsignor Leonardo Sapienza, was on hand and moved the television screen around on the platform so Francis would have a better view of what was going on inside the Coliseum itself.
But at 9:10 p.m., five minutes before the official start of the procession, the Vatican press office announced on Telegram that he wouldn’t attend. The chair was quickly taken away.”
25,000 pilgrims were present for the torchlit procession.
The ‘good enough’ health of the Pontiff sees him scrapping important events of the Holy Week.
On Palm Sunday, Francis suddenly made clear he wouldn’t read his homily, and it was replaced by ‘a moment of silent prayer’.
He ‘appeared strong’ to preside over the Holy Thursday foot-washing ritual at a Rome women’s prison, and also for a Good Friday liturgy in St. Peter’s Basilica.
So there you go: Francis will do some things, skip others. But you bet he will always be strong when it comes to being a head of state and receiving Presidents and Prime Ministers.
“On Saturday, he is scheduled to preside over a lengthy evening Easter Vigil in St. Peter’s, one of the most solemn events in the liturgical calendar. He also is due to preside over Easter Sunday Mass in the piazza and deliver his ‘Urbi et Orbi’ (to the city and the world) speech rounding up global crises and threats to humanity.”

As part of the investigation, Paxton requested information about the company’s diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) practices.
In his request for documents, Paxton ordered Spirit to “produce all meeting minutes of Spirit’s Global Diversity & Inclusion Council(s). Meeting minutes is defined to include any document that memorializes the agenda or discussion of any meetings held by these groups.”
Spirit was also told to “Produce Documents sufficient to identify Spirit’s employee demographics for race, national origin, sexual orientation, and age before Your DEI Policy was enacted.”
Attorney General Paxton said in a statement, “The potential risks associated with certain airplane models are deeply concerning and potentially life-threatening to Texans.”
“I will hold any company responsible if they fail to maintain the standards required by the law and will do everything in my power to ensure manufacturers take passenger safety seriously,” Paxton continued.
Spirit spokesman Joe Buccino told The Hill, “While we do not comment on investigations, Spirit is wholly focused on providing the highest quality products to all our customers, to include the Boeing Company.”
The Hill report added:
Paxton’s investigation follows a series of costly and sometimes deadly accidents involving Boeing aircraft. In 2018 and 2019, 737s crashed in Indonesia and Ethiopia repeatedly, killing a total 346 people.
In January, a door on an Alaska Airlines 737 — part of the plane manufactured by Spirit — blew off the plane.
In February, Boeing halted deliveries of 50 planes after Spirit reported that holes had been drilled incorrectly during the installation of windows, The Associated Press reported.

Morbidly obese pro-Biden pop star Lizzo surprisingly announced she was quitting the music industry in a late Friday night post on Instagram.
The announcement comes less than a day after Lizzo performed at Joe Biden’s fundraising event in New York City with Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. As the Gateway Pundit’s Kristinn Taylor reported, the $25 million event was marred by leftist agitators interrupting the event to protest the Biden regime’s policies regarding Hamas and Russia.
The 35-year-old claimed she was retiring because she was “tired of being dragged by everyone.”
Lizzo wrote in her shock Instagram post:
I’m getting tired of putting up with being dragged by everyone in my life and on the internet. All I want is to make music and make people happy and help the world be a little better than how I found it.
But I’m starting to feel like the world doesn’t want me in it. I’m constantly up against lies being told about me for clout & views… being the butt of the joke every single time because of how I look.
My character being picked apart by people who don’t know me and disrespecting my name.
I didn’t sign up for this s**t. I quit.
However, the real reason for her departure from the industry could be legally related. The Daily Mail notes that last August, Lizzo was notably sued by three of her ex-dancers – Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez. They accused her of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment.
The accusers’ lawyer, Ron Zambrano, went off on Biden in an interview with Newsnation for letting her perform at the fundraiser.
“It’s shameful that Lizzo would be chosen to headline an event like this amid such egregious allegations,” Zambrano said. “Without getting into the politics, I can’t imagine why anyone would want Lizzo representing them in any way given her reprehensible behavior. It’s just a terrible look.”

A 50-year-old biological man has reportedly managed to “breastfeed” his grandchild using experimental hormones.
According to research conducted by Duke University, the unidentified individual produced 30ml of milk per feeding session following a four week course of hormone treatment.
Mail Online reports that the researchers, who published their findings in the journal Breastfeeding Medicine, said the patient had expressed their “unique desire” back a few years ago:
The patient first expressed the unique desire to breastfeed her expected grandchild at an appointment with her endocrinologist in the spring of 2022. She disclosed that this was a last-minute idea that came to her very close to her daughter’s due date. At five weeks after initiating treatment changes for lactation induction, she reverted to her previous medication regimen.
She states that she stopped pursuing her personal goal to breastfeed due to logistical barriers, such as the need to take care of her grandchild while her daughter was pumping. Her primary motivation for inducing lactation was to experience the bond from breastfeeding that she had not been able to experience with her own five children.
The transgender woman described it as an emotional experience that helped her forge a “special bond” with her grandchild:
The patient tearfully reported this was a significant and emotional experience for her that felt very different from formula feeding her other children. She states she has a special bond with this baby for which she is grateful. She regrets that she had not known about the possibility sooner and wished that other transgender women could know that breastfeeding a baby can be a reality.
She reported unforeseen benefits, including female gender affirmation and full breast maturation. The patient did not experience any side effects from her treatment regimen.
Meanwhile, the study’s authors concluded that the findings are promising for transgender women who may wish to provide milk to someone else’s child.
“This report offers a new effective hormone regimen for transgender patients who wish to lactate and cannot access domperidone-the galactagogue used in previous case reports,” they noted.
“It also provides a review of previously published case reports on this subject,” it continued. “Future research in this field should prioritize cohort studies of transgender patients who desire lactation to further assess patient attitudes, experiences, and outcomes.

Earlier this week, students at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee decided to ‘occupy’ the chancellor’s office because the school wouldn’t let them vote on a measure to divest from Israel.
Surprisingly, the school suspended some of the students and had others arrested. The students who were arrested spent one night in jail and apparently now see themselves as civil rights heroes who were treated unjustly by the school.
In the video below, one student talks about how he was treated better in jail than at the school because he had access to food and water. You really should watch this video and try not to laugh. The self regard of these students is so off the charts.
“In essence, they tried to break us. They tried to break our bodies, they tried to break our spirits.”

Adeel Abdullah Mangi is a Biden administration judicial nominee to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals.
They have been trying to push him through the senate confirmation process for months, but Republicans have blocked the nominee because he has ties to people who were in the domestic terror group the Weather Underground and other radicals, including cop killers.
Now even senate Democrats are objecting to Mangi’s nomination, meaning that the Biden administration should probably stop wasting everyone’s time with this.
The Washington Free Beacon reports:
Third Senate Democrat Comes Out Against Biden’s Controversial Judicial Nominee
Sen. Jacky Rosen (D., Nev.) on Wednesday became the third Democrat in the Senate to come out against Adeel Mangi, President Joe Biden’s controversial nominee to serve as a federal appeals court judge.
Rosen joined Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto (D., Nev.) and Joe Manchin (D., W.Va.) in opposing Mangi, a Muslim-American lawyer and nominee to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, according to NBC News. Mangi is seeking the Senate’s confirmation but has faced pushback in recent months from Senate Republicans due to his affiliation with anti-cop and anti-Israel groups.
“Given the concerns I’ve heard from law enforcement in Nevada, I am not planning to vote to confirm this nominee,” Rosen said in a statement Wednesday…
Manchin on Friday said he would not vote for Mangi, describing the Biden-backed lawyer as not a “reasonable” nominee. Last Tuesday, Cortez Masto became the first Senate Democrat to publicly oppose Mangi’s confirmation, citing Mangi’s role as an advisory board member at the Alliance of Families for Justice.
Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana recently spoke about this on the senate floor.
Adeel Mangi is not qualified to be a federal judge because he supports organizations that celebrate people who kill law enforcement officers, hate Americans, and hate Jews.

While millions of Americans are struggling to afford basic items under Biden and the staggering inflation on his watch, one group of people in the country are doing great. The extremely wealthy.
In other words, Biden has been great for the people who the left describe as the one percent.
Bernie Sanders doesn’t complain about the one percent as much as he used to, because he is now a member of the club. In fact, Bernie wants people to vote for Biden.
For all of their talk about income inequality in the past, Democrats are now the party of the rich. There’s nothing wrong with being rich, but liberals don’t seem to want other people to be prosperous as well.
Breitbart News reports:
Joe Biden’s America: Wealthiest 1% Set Record with $44 Trillion Total Net Worth
The wealthiest one percent in President Joe Biden’s America set a record with a net worth of $44 trillion at the end of the fourth quarter, U.S. Federal Reserve data revealed.
Biden casts his administration as opposed to the widening wealth gap, even though a majority of Americans still live paycheck to paycheck, a recent LendingClub study found, raising concerns that so-called “Bidenomics” failed to help average Americans.
A majority of voters are “worse off financially” under Biden, up 25 points since he assumed office in 2021, a Fox News poll found Wednesday.
The fourth quarter gains resulted from stock holdings, thanks to an end-of-year rally, CNBC reported:
The total net worth of the top 1%, defined by the Fed as those with wealth over $11 million, increased by $2 trillion in the fourth quarter. All of the gains came from their stock holdings. The value of corporate equities and mutual fund shares held by the top 1% surged to $19.7 trillion from $17.65 trillion the previous quarter.

Noted Trump Derangement Syndrome sufferer Rob Reiner is practically begging singer Taylor Swift to endorse Joe Biden for 2024.
The liberal filmmaker seems to think that Swift holds the key to Biden’s reelection, as if her endorsement is going to make millions of Americans forget why they are planning to vote for Trump in November in rejection of Biden’s disastrous policies.
Reiner does not seem to realize the terrible optics of this. If Biden’s reelection hinges on an endorsement of Swift, what does that say about Biden? And what does all of this say about Reiner?
The New York Post reports:
Rob Reiner says he would ‘give anything’ for Taylor Swift to endorse Biden
Hollywood director Rob Reiner would “give anything” for Taylor Swift to endorse President Biden for re-election publicly.
“I’m in the midst of shooting a sequel to This is Spinal Tap. As much as I’d like Taylor Swift to do a cameo in the film, I’d give anything for her to endorse Joe Biden,” Reiner wrote on X. “She would virtually single-handedly save American Democracy.”
Reiner has been vocal about politics and social issues over the last few years. His new documentary, “God and Country,” looked at the “implications of Christian Nationalism” and how it can distort the constitutional republic of the U.S. and Christianity itself.
The “Spinal Tap” director, a longtime Democratic Party supporter, previously praised Biden as a “decent law-abiding person” and called former President Donald Trump a “pathologically lying criminal.”
Swift has not made an official endorsement, but there’s no question it would be Biden if and when she makes that public. The pop star supported Biden in 2020 and has been strongly critical of Trump.
See Reiner’s tweet below:

Members of the White House press corps – journalists – are reportedly stealing little odds and ends from Air Force One, things like glasses and plates.
They apparently want them as souvenirs and keepsakes.
These items belong to the American taxpayers, who paid for them, but these journalists don’t care. They just want an item from the presidential plane to put in their personal collections.
Breitbart News reports:
Report: White House Press Corps Loots Air Force One — Wine Glasses, Tumblers, Gold-Rimmed Plates
Journalists in the White House press corps covering President Joe Biden’s administration habitually steal insignia items from Air Force One, four people told West Wing Playbook.
The looting reportedly grew to such a degree under Biden’s tenure that the president of the White House Correspondents’ Association, NBC correspondent Kelly O’Donnell, issued a “terse reminder” that stealing from Air Force One is not allowed, several individuals who saw the off-the-record email confirmed to Playbook.
None of the members of the press corps reportedly responded to O’Donnell’s email.
Items allegedly stolen include:
– Wine glasses
– Tumblers
– Gold-rimmed plates
– Embroidered pillowcase“For years, scores of journalists — and others — have quietly stuffed everything from engraved whiskey tumblers to wine glasses to pretty much anything with the Air Force One insignia on it into their bag before stepping off the plane,” Playbook reported…

UPDATE: Dutch police successfully secured the release of all hostages held at a nightclub in Ede. The suspect was also arrested.
A tense hostage situation unfolding at Café Petticoat in the small town of Ede, located less than 60 miles from Amsterdam, has led to the evacuation of hundreds of residents early Saturday morning.
The crisis, which has been ongoing for nearly five hours, began around 5:42 a.m. and has since escalated to a “major incident,” drawing heavy police and bomb disposal units to the scene, Metro.co.uk reported.
Authorities have established a wide safety perimeter around the café, where an unidentified individual has taken multiple people hostage. The assailant has also claimed to possess explosives, heightening concerns for the safety of both the hostages and the surrounding community.
In a statement released on Twitter, police officials declared, “A hostage situation involving several people is underway in a building in the center. That is why several specialist services are on site.”

Local residents have been advised to steer clear of the town center, and there have been reports of aerial traffic being redirected away from the town. Families evacuated from the vicinity have been provided refuge within the town hall, according to Metro.
Officials took swift action to evacuate 150 homes near the central square.
“An area is now being evacuated in Ede , approximately 150 homes. The residents are taken care of. There is a press box for journalists on the corner of Detmarstraat/Arnhemseweg,” according to the social media post.
Dutch police provided updates via X (formerly known as Twitter), announcing the successful resolution of the crisis. “The last hostage has just been released. One person has been arrested. We cannot share more information at this time.,” the police statement read.

Ede Stad reported, “A fourth person was able to leave Café Petticoat in Ede just after noon and shortly afterwards handcuffed a person wearing a balaclava. Three people had already left the building where a hostage situation had occurred about an hour earlier.”
Al Jazeera reported:
The man walked out of the club in the town of Ede, before being ordered by armed police to kneel with his hands on his head. He was then handcuffed and led into a waiting police car.
Earlier, three young hostages walked out of the club with their hands above their heads. A fourth person was released shortly before the suspect was arrested. The hostages were all workers at the club.
“We are exceptionally happy that it ended this way. That the victims came out safely and that we were able to arrest this suspect without using violence,” said Marthyne Kunst, head of the regional public prosecutor’s office.
Police said the hostage-taker was armed with knives, and a backpack he carried was being examined amid reports he had threatened to use explosives.
Kunst told reporters that the man was known to law enforcement authorities and had previously been convicted of threatening behaviour. She gave no further details, citing privacy and the ongoing investigation.
The suspect’s identity was not released. Ede Mayor Rene Verhulst said he was a Dutch citizen.

St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones wants to get tough on crime – VICTIMS.
The far left mayor wants to hold businesses responsible for crime committed near their stores.
St. Louis previously had one of the highest homicide rates in the country. Repeat offenders are let out of confinement and back on the street.
The Missouri House voted on Thursday to approve “state control” of the St. Louis Metropolitan Police as leaders like Jones have failed to fight the crime epidemic in the city. According to local KTVI, a force of nearly 1,400 officers has shrunk by more than a third, with officers unable to address the lawlessness, including rampant public gunfire
ABC 13 News reported:
St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones plans to hold local businesses accountable for violent crime outside their establishments, she told Action News 5.
Her comments came while attending a meeting of the Black Mayors’ Coalition on Crime. The group, launched this week by Memphis, Tennessee Mayor Paul Young, aims to “harness the collective power of black mayors across the nation to fight crime” and includes 21 leaders of cities across the country.
We have a lot of violence around convenience stores and gas stations,” Jones said of St. Louis. “So how can we hold those business owners accountable and also bring down crime? Some of the things we’re already doing, we’re finding that other mayors are doing as well.”
Her statement comes as the area is currently embroiled in controversy following the brutal attack of a 15-year-old girl. Kaylee Gain could be seen on video convulsing on the ground after being battered and having her head slammed against the pavement by another girl. Family lawyer Bryan Kaemmerer told TND Gain suffered a fractured skull, brain bleeding and brain swelling as a result of the attack.
A GoFundMe page for the teen has raised nearly $350,000 as of Monday, with at least $10,000 of that total coming from billionaire Pershing Square CEO Bill Ackman.

The supposedly “devout Catholic” Joe Biden has banned any Christian-themed designs from being submitted to the White House’s Easter-themed art contest.
The contest, which is for children of members of the National Guard, is part of the White House’s annual Easter celebrations.
However, a flyer for the contest states that submissions “must not include any questionable content, religious symbols, overtly religious themes, or partisan political statements,” despite the fact that Easter is an explicitly Christian festival.
Children are also warned not to submit any material containing “bigotry, racism, hatred or harm against any group or individual or promotes discrimination based on race, gender, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation or age.”
The flyer continues:
As part of the White House Easter traditions, America’s Egg Farmers – for nearly 50 years – have proudly presented an intricately decorated Commemorative Easter Egg to the First Lady of the United States. In 2021, the White House expanded on this longstanding tradition by displaying youth-designed Easter eggs in the White House East Colonnade.
On behalf of First Lady Jill Biden, The Adjutants General of the National Guard are asking youth from National Guard families across the United States and all U.S. territories to submit artwork inspired by the theme ‘Celebrating our Military Families.’
Selected designs representing the unique experience and stories of National Guard children will be brought to life on real hen eggs by talented egg artists from across the country and displayed at the White House this Easter and Passover season.
Winners of the contest will have their designs painted by artists on real eggs and put on display at the White House.
As per tradition, the Easter Egg Roll will take place on Monday. At last year’s event, Joe Biden was up to his usual tricks, sniffing a little girl before being whisked away by his son Hunter.

Biden Easter
This March 31, of course, is Easter.
“On Transgender Day of Visibility, we honor the extraordinary courage and contributions of transgender Americans and reaffirm our nation’s commitment to forming a more perfect union — where all people are created equal and treated equally throughout their lives,” Biden wrote in the declaration.
“I am proud that my Administration has stood for justice from the start, working to ensure that the LGBTQI+ community can live openly, in safety, with dignity and respect. I am proud to have appointed transgender leaders to my Administration and to have ended the ban on transgender Americans serving openly in our military,” Biden continued. “I am proud to have signed historic Executive Orders that strengthen civil rights protections in housing, employment, health care, education, the justice system, and more. I am proud to have signed the Respect for Marriage Act into law, ensuring that every American can marry the person they love.”
Biden wrote that “transgender Americans are part of the fabric of our Nation.”
The Democrat also complained that “extremists” are working to keep pornographic books out of the hands of children — and to ban mutilating minors with “sex change” operations.
Biden wrote, “extremists are proposing hundreds of hateful laws that target and terrify transgender kids and their families — silencing teachers; banning books; and even threatening parents, doctors, and nurses with prison for helping parents get care for their children.”
“At the same time, my Administration is working to stop the bullying and harassment of transgender children and their families. The Department of Justice has taken action to push back against extreme and un-American State laws targeting transgender youth and their families and the Department of Justice is partnering with law enforcement and community groups to combat hate and violence.”
“NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 31, 2024, as Transgender Day of Visibility. I call upon all Americans to join us in lifting up the lives and voices of transgender people throughout our Nation and to work toward eliminating violence and discrimination based on gender identity.”
Biden, who is Catholic, has also banned religious artwork from the White House Easter egg competition.

As reported earlier by Cullen Linebarger, New York Democrat Governor Kathy Hochul was asked to leave the wake for murdered NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller Friday afternoon following a confrontation with a man in attendance.
As the New York Post reported, Hochul arrived at the Massapequa Funeral Home on Long Island for the second day of viewings around 1:45 p.m. But the governor had been in the venue for only 10 minutes before she was spotted clashing with a man in a black suit, according to the outlet.
But Hochul was not the only New York Democrat leader who was asked to leave the wake for Officer Diller.
Mayor Eric Adams and lawless Attorney General Alvin Bragg, whose policies keep dangerous criminals out on the streets, were both confronted at the wake — By Officer Jonathan Diller’s wife!
Officer Diller’s alleged killer had 21 prior arrests and 9 felonies but was still running the streets of New York City thanks to the policies of Alvin Bragg.
Brian Kilmeade reported this at FOX News.
Brian Kilmeade: Kathy Hochul getting an earful as she was leaving the wake for murdered NYPD officer Jonathan Diller, this over in Massapequa. A source tells me this happened moments after Hochul refused to abide by the family’s wishes. They were doing open cast and viewing, and she did not want to wait on the outside. So she came in while they were closing the casket. As she stormed in, they just couldn’t stop her. I’m told that family members let her have it when she got there, saying, “His blood is on your hands.”
Hochul wasn’t the only one approached at the wake. Mayor Eric Adams and DA Alvin Bragg were both confronted directly, this time by officer Diller’s wife.
The source tells me She let them have it, too, telling them the same thing that was told to Huchul, “His blood is on your hands.”
Jason Chaffetz: Now, make no mistake, far-left politicians and district attorneys have empowered criminals like the one accused of murdering Officer Diller. Now, sadly, violent crime is a serious problem across New York City and is still way up from pre-pandemic levels. This week, another New York City woman was randomly punched in the face. The allegation is that it appears to be a growing trend in the city. The victim allegedly suffered a broken jaw, and her mouth is now wired shut. But the alleged perpetrator was released from jail without posting bail despite two prior arrests for assault.

No true-blue Second Amendment advocate would buy into this scheme, which amounts to a backdoor trap to register/verify the ownership and whereabouts of all firearms.
The United States is about to receive its first domestically produced biometric “smart gun.”
These weapons unlock like a smartphone with the owner’s fingerprints or other biometric data.
Biometric Update reports that Colorado-based startup Biofire says it will begin shipping its fingerprint and facial recognition-equipped handguns by the end of March.
Biometric Update goes on to report:
“But the smart weapon maker will still face resistance among gun rights advocates who claim the technology is unreliable and that smart guns are a backdoor to controlling firearm ownership in the U.S.”
The outlet reports that the Biofire Smart Gun, a 9mm handgun pictured below, was designed to prevent unauthorized use by validating user identity, reducing accidental shootings by children, teen suicides, theft and criminal use.
The company’s CEO and founder Kai Kloepfer told NBC News that the complexity of the smart gun is equal to a “small satellite.” The firearm allows up to five authorized users, disabling the trigger mechanism after it leaves their hand. The biometric sensors do not work if the users’ faces or fingerprints are completely covered as it is intended for home use, according to Biofire.
The product has been tested for conditions such as different temperatures and sweaty hands. However, since the U.S. does not have a federal product safety regulation for firearms, there are no industry standards to test biometric weapons. The handgun meets consumer product safety requirements as well as individual states’ handgun safety standards, the firm says.
It’s surprising to me how even some pro-gun websites and publications are promoting smart guns as a positive development that will aid in gun safety. Yeah, but at what price?
Americans have already been blindly led into the surveillance state through their high-tech vehicles, baby monitors, smart TVs, smart meters, smart appliances, and a host of other convenience-based products. Firearms are one of the last remaining non-digital items in modern society. Let’s keep it that way.

A Democratic-sponsored bill is seeking to prevent Donald Trump from receiving classified information in the run-up to 2024 presidential election.
Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) has drafted the Guarding United States Against Reckless Disclosures (GUARD) Act, which if passed would prevent the president, vice president, members of Congress, and federal candidates from accessing classified information if they face charges related to obstructing official proceedings, unlawfully retaining classified defense information, or engaging in activities as a foreign agent, alongside other criminal allegations.
Although the bill does not reference Trump by name, Sherill made no secret of the fact it was designed specficially for him.
Sherill said in a statement on Thursday:
As a Navy veteran and former prosecutor, I have zero tolerance for any betrayal of the public trust, especially when it comes to classified information and our national security. That’s why I’m extremely concerned about recent charges against Donald Trump and his continued desire to access sensitive classified information, despite reckless actions, and serious criminal charges.
Nobody is entitled or legally obligated to classified briefings — certainly not Trump, even if he is the Republican nominee for president. This legislation is urgent and should be considered by both parties as a necessary step to protect intelligence and ensure sensitive information doesn’t get into the wrong hands.
Presidential nominees are typically provided with classified information and security briefings in the run-up to the election. This is depsite the fact that Trump will have also been subject to countless reams of classified information over the course of his four years in the White House.
As part of their campaign of political persecution against the former president to try and prevent him winning a third consecutive election, federal prosecutors have charged Trump with a variety of crimes related to his alleged mishandling of classified documents.
These include willful retention of national defense information, concealing a document or record, conspiracy to defraud the United States and conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding. Trump has denied the all the charges and the case is unlikely to go to trial before the November election.

A resounding message, “Go Red… No More Blue, No Matter Who!” has become the battle cry of frustrated Chicagoans facing neglect from long-standing Democratic leadership.
This outcry is a culmination of pent-up grievances, particularly exacerbated by the Biden regime’s open border policy to illegal immigrants.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that two Chicago Aldermen, Anthony Napolitano (41st) and Anthony Beale (9th), have cosponsored a resolution that would add a referendum to the March 2024 primary ballot asking voters if Chicago should continue to keep its sanctuary city designation.
Chicago has spent over $100M to care for the illegals arriving in the city thanks to Joe Biden’s open border.
Despite the millions in taxpayer dollars, the city remains so overwhelmed that migrants are being housed in police stations and turning O’Hare airport into a dangerous, filthy, and unsanitary encampment.
A packed migrant shelter in Chicago with over 1,800 residents (including 95 children two years old and younger) in the O’Hare airport is experiencing a measles outbreak that has prompted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to dispatch a team to help battle the outbreak.
Chicago is facing a $538 million budget shortfall for 2024, with more than a third of that shortfall tied to Biden’s illegal crisis, according to The Chicago Sun-Times.
A viral video shows Chicago residents chanting, “Go Red” and “No More Blue, No Matter Who!”
“Something is happening in Chicago. The inner city realizes they have been controlled by Democrats for decades and nothing has gotten better. Now they’re being sold out and replaced by illegals. They are done with Joe Biden and the open borders Democrats. Chicago and many cities across America are turning MAGA Trump2024,” Real America’s Voice’s reporter Ben Bergquam wrote.

Black Chicago residents are furious that Joe Biden’s illegal aliens are taking up the city’s resources. They issued a stark warning to the Democrat party last year at Chicago City Hall.
The Democrat National Committee announced that Chicago will host the 2024 Democratic National Convention. Black residents who depend on government resources, such as housing, healthcare, and food, are being pushed aside for the illegal invaders.
“This is about our people demanding the resources just as you’ve given these people – these newcomers that walk into this country! How do you take a new group of people that have paid no taxes, can’t vote and you put them in front of the voters!” an angry resident said.
The fed-up black resident warned Democrats that there won’t be a peaceful Democrat National Convention in the sanctuary city of Chicago next year.
“We’re going to show you how we feel about the Democratic National Convention. If you think you’re going to have a peaceful Democratic National Convention in Chicago while our people are starving? Stay tuned!” one black resident warned.
The black resident said blacks would support Republican politicians as long as they support closing the border.
If you think you’re going to have a peaceful Democratic convention while our people are starving … stay tuned

An 81-year-old Chicago resident named George Blakemore exploded on the corrupt city council in epic fashion for coddling illegal aliens and dropped multiple truth bombs on their heads.
Blakemore is a well-known activist who has attended every public meeting possible, from the City Council to the Chicago Board of Education to the Water Reclamation District. During the council meeting last year, he said, “Trump, come in here and clean this mess up! The most corrupt city in the United States is the city of Chicago.”

A Chinese national has been detained after illegally entering a Marine Corps base in the El Centro Sector on Friday, sparking a federal investigation into the incident.
The unnamed individual was apprehended on a U.S. Marine base after reportedly ignoring orders to vacate the premises.
Border Patrol Chief Agent Gregory Bovino shared the incident on X. Bovino revealed that the subject had been confirmed as being in the country illegally.
An accompanying image of the suspect was posted, though details about the individual’s identity remain undisclosed.
“His purpose & intent behind his actions are still being investigated,” Bovino wrote.

The breach has raised questions regarding national security and the processes through which individuals gain access to sensitive areas.
Newsweek reported:
Jon Feere, director of investigations at the Center for Immigration Studies and a former senior adviser to the director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, questioned how the migrant ended up in the U.S. in the first place.
“Illegally here because he overstayed/violated a visa? Or Illegally here because he crossed the border without inspection?” Feere wrote on X.
Gordon Chang, a journalist who has covered China for decades, wrote: “We have to assume this #Chinese national is a soldier or operative of some sort. Send him to #Guantanamo.”
The El Centro Sector, located in Southern California’s Imperial Valley, has existed for nearly 100 years and covers 410 square miles and 70 miles of international border. It is home to four Border Patrol stations in the cities of El Centro, Calexico, Indio and Riverside.
California has experienced an increase in Chinese migrants in recent years. There were approximately 15,700 Chinese migrant encounters at the U.S.-Mexico border in roughly the first three months of the current fiscal year, which began October 1. Those numbers already surpass the approximately 14,600 encounters in the entire 2023 fiscal year, according to CBP data.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that the Department of Justice Office of Public Affairs announced charges against seven hackers associated with the Chinese Communist Government for targeting perceived critics of China and US businesses and politicians.
The seven Chinese hackers were named in the DOJ press release.
The victims were politicians from both parties and critics of the Chinese Communist regime. However, the politicians were not named in the DOJ report.

Well this was not expected.
Bill Maher dropped a stunning monologue on Friday admitting that basically EVERYTHING the so-called “experts” pushed on the masses during the COVID epidemic was bad advice, anti-science, caused excess deaths and ruined lives.
Maher even pointed out that those pushing the dangerous COVID rules have yet to publish their retractions or apologies.
The Gateway Pundit challenged numerous talking points during the pandemic and we were regularly censored and blacklisted by the tech giants and government operatives. It did not matter that we received much of our information from brave sources inside China.
Here’s just one example.
When do we get our reputation back? When do we get our readers and our traffic back?
This was quite the confession by Maher on Good Friday.
Via Vigilant Fox.
Bill Majer: get it that we didn’t know exactly what was happening at the beginning of COVID, and some mistakes were inevitable. But four years on, I’m tired of hearing, Well, we didn’t know. No, we didn’t. But some people guessed better than others. The people who got it wrong don’t seem to want to acknowledge that now.
Some people said closing schools for so long was pointless and would cause much worse collateral damage to the kids, and they were right. Thank you. Don’t be afraid. Four years ago, The Daily Beast ran a story with the headline, ‘Bill Maher Pushes Steve Ben and Wuhan Lab Conspiracy Theory,’ which was typical of the mainstream media at the time. Of course, it wasn’t a conspiracy theory, and it wasn’t owned by Steve Banon. Now everyone, including the Biden administration, admits there’s at least a 50/50 chance that the virus could have begun in the lab in Wuhan that was doing gain of function research on that virus. Duh. But I don’t see a lot of retractions being printed.
Yeah, when COVID hit, we did a lot of stupid things. Because America never reacts. It only overreacts. Ubers look like those Orthodox Jews who wrap themselves in saran wrap in case their plane flies over a grave.
We washed the mail. We played baseball in front of cardboard cutouts. And ate in parking lots or with inflatable dolls? They closed the ocean.
We banged pots and pans to show our love for nurses and our hatred for people trying to get a baby to sleep.
For two years, we had to get nostril fucked every time we left the house. Serious people talked about having sex through glory holes, and if you If you don’t know what a glory hole is, I wouldn’t look into it. We were told to wash our hands every five minutes and don’t ever touch your face, and If you absolutely must go to the beach for the sake of all that, totally wear a mask. Outside? Because the last thing you would want to do when a disease is afoot is get fresh air and sunshine and vitamin D. No, much better to stay locked up, stressed out, and day drinking.
And if you do get COVID, remember, natural immunity is always the worst kind.
So even if you’ve had the disease, you need a shot.
Yes, some very bad ideas were embraced as the conventional wisdom, ideas that haven’t aged well. And a lot of dissenting opinions that were suppressed and ridiculed at the time have proven to be correct. Maybe that’s why the powers that be never wanted a COVID commission. Why not? We love commissions, the Warren Commission, the AIDS Commission, the 9/11 Commission. The NFL even had a ‘Is ramming your head into another guy’s head, Bad for Heads Commission.’ Really?
So where’s the COVID commission? Because it seems to me we I haven’t learned a thing.
Maybe the number one lesson from the pandemic was the need for proper air ventilation. Second was never go on a Zoom with Jeffrey Tubin. But if there’s been a big national movement to retrofit buildings, I missed it. Gain of function research is still going on in labs. We’re still torturing animals by raising our food in conditions ideal for viruses to make the leap to humans. Bird flu was just found in a goat, which means we’re just one lonely farmer from the next pandemic.
We handed out $4 trillion of free money, $280 billion of which was just flat-out stolen in what the AP called the greatest grift in US history, and which started an inflationary spiral that we now blame on Biden.
So we’re going to bring back Trump, the guy who ignored COVID like it was the dinner check?

Former music mogul Suge Knight has issued a stern warning to his long-time industry rival, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, suggesting that his life may be at risk due to undisclosed “secrets.”
Marion Hugh Knight Jr., better known as Suge Knight, was the co-founder of Death Row Records.
Knight, a once-powerful figure in 1990s hip-hop, was instrumental in launching the careers of West Coast rap legends like Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Tupac Shakur.
However, his reign was marred by controversy and legal troubles. Knight is currently serving a 28-year prison sentence for a 2015 hit-and-run incident.
TMZ obtained a copy of the audio clip from Knight’s podcast, “Collect Call,” recorded from his cell in a California state prison, currently serving a 28-year sentence for voluntary manslaughter, reveals his foreboding message.
In the audio, Knight is heard expressing concern for Diddy’s children before sharply criticizing him for tarnishing the image of hip-hop culture.
“It’s a bad day for hip-hop…for the culture…Black people, because if one looks bad, we all look bad. That’s definitely not nothing to cheer about. But I’ll tell you what, Puffy: your life is in danger. Your life is in danger ’cause you know the secrets, who’s involved in that little secret room you guys are participating in. They gonna get you if they can,” Knight warned.
The message takes a personal turn as Knight advises Diddy to surrender to authorities, reflecting on his own decision to do so following a fatal hit-and-run incident in 2015. Knight also offered prison advice to Diddy, humorously cautioning against using the nickname “Brother Love” behind bars.

VIBE reported:
Things are only getting more intense for Diddy, as his Los Angeles and Miami homes were raided on Monday afternoon (March 25). Homeland Security expert Hal Kempfer said that the searched evidence included “laptops, flash drives, and anything that would connect Combs with the allegations.” Footage would surface later of Diddy in Miami, and his private jet was reportedly tracked to Antigua.
In regards to Suge and his podcast, this isn’t the first time he has offered his Diddy takes on the mic. Earlier this month, he accused Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, and the Bad Boy founder of being members in a “secret society.
“[The] Game bought Puffy a Lamborghini when Puffy got more money than Game,” Suge said. “Why you buying this man a Lamborghini? You know your homies don’t even got a Lamborghini. But once again, it’s that secret society. For this thing to work and fix it, they gotta start all the way over in these major record labels and these big buildings. They need to get rid of all the guys who was connected to the poison and the snake.”
The Gateway Pundit reported on Monday that Homeland Security agents raided rapper and business mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Comb’s Los Angeles mansion as part of an ongoing sex trafficking investigation.
The lawsuit filed by producer Rodney Jones claims Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs used his affiliation with Prince Harry, along with other big-time celebrities such as T.D. Jakes, to give himself and his associates legitimacy when throwing sex-trafficking parties where sexual abuse allegedly occurred.
The celebrities in Jones’s lawsuit have not been named defendants in the sex trafficking case.

The hip-hop mogul and influential Democratic Party figure was seen at a Miami golf course, in his first public appearance since the raids on his homes, which have drawn parallels to the infamous Jeffrey Epstein scandal.
As reported by TMZ, the Southern District of New York is extending its reach, issuing subpoenas to a network of corporations linked to Diddy. These include telecommunications companies and tech firms, with even aircraft operators being targeted in a sweeping collection of evidence.
Amidst this legal turmoil, Diddy has been divesting from major assets, including his shares in REVOLT TV, and returning music rights from Bad Boy Records.
TMZ reported:
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ subpoenas — all bearing Diddy’s real name, Sean Combs — were sent this week to various providers tied to the rapper, including his private charter jet, phone providers and computer companies.
We’re told the subpoenas were fired off by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York … which, as we’ve reported, is running the investigation. Our sources say subpoenas will also be issued to commercial airlines, and possibly the FAA, just in case Diddy opted for commercial flights instead of his private jet.
As we reported, the feds’ goal here is finding out who flew on Diddy’s dime and where they went. They’re not only looking for alleged victims, but also any potential witnesses who could support or dispute allegations of human/sex trafficking.
What’s more … we’re told the subpoenas will enable feds to gather more intel about the nature of Diddy’s involvement with those various businesses.
There are also claims that Diddy has been operating as a confidential informant for the FBI, a role that might have afforded him protection from legal repercussions for his actions over the years.
Diddy’s former bodyguard has come forward, expressing a willingness to testify against him. This potential testimony, as well as corroborating statements from other insiders, could prove to be a turning point in the case.
The legal entanglements are compounded by a stunning allegation from Diddy’s former bodyguard, suggesting that Diddy has been a confidential informant for the FBI.

Ever since the conquest of the heavily fortified key Donbas city of Avdeevka, the real dimension of the Russian combat superiority became suddenly clear to just about everyone.
While Ukraine still finds some success in missile strikes behind the Russian lines, and asymmetrical attacks of a terror nature, everyone now can see just how outmanned, outgunned and outmaneuvered Kiev’s forces have become.
Now, even in the MSM, there are daily reports of just how dire the situation on the ground is right now.
The UK paper The Times [behind a paywall] went as far as publishing an op-ed talking about how the West is bracing for an imminent Ukrainian army’s collapse.
TASS reported:
“Western leaders are bracing for the Ukrainian army’s collapse as it has only been able to slow the advance of Russian forces amid weapons and ammunition shortages, the Times writes.
In its editorial, titled ‘It’s time we talked about the fall of Kiev’, the paper points out that ‘contrary to the predominant view that this is a perpetual frozen conflict, with neither side able to win a decisive advantage, the front line is bitterly contested and there is a real risk of Ukrainian forces being pushed back’.
‘This is the nightmare scenario now being contemplated by western policymakers’, the Times notes.
Russia’s advance ‘would obviously be disastrous for the Ukrainians’. ‘It would also confront the West with all manner of tough challenges’, the newspaper says. ‘The consequences of a partial or complete defeat would be calamitous in ways western populations have barely begun to understand. But we have a lazy habit in the comfortable West – away from Europe’s front line in east and south Ukraine – of wishful thinking and being unprepared for bad surprises’, the Times emphasizes.”
It also shows a poll by the European Council on Foreign Relations conducted in 12 countries in January.
In the poll, only 10% of those surveyed believe that Ukraine can win.
37% said that compromise was the most likely option, while another 19.5% said that Russia would eventually achieve a victory.
And the gravity of the situation is talked about by the upper echelons of Ukrainian society, as is the case of the recent article by President Volodymyr Zelensky, where he candidly says that ‘We are trying to find a way not to retreat’.
As Russian missiles were pounding southern Ukraine, he said: ‘Give us the weapons to stop the Russian attacks, or Ukraine will escalate its counterattacks on Russia’s airfields, energy facilities and other strategic targets’.
Slavyangrad reported:
“The congressional delay in approving a $60 billion military aid package has been costly for Ukraine, Zelensky said. The military has been unable to plan future operations while legislators squabbled for nearly six months. He warned that hard-pressed Ukrainian forces might have to retreat to secure their front lines and conserve ammunition.
‘If there is no U.S. support, it means that we have no air defense, no Patriot missiles, no jammers for electronic warfare, no 155-milimeter artillery rounds,” he said. “It means we will go back, retreat, step by step, in small steps’.
To describe the military situation, Zelensky took a sheet of paper and drew a simple diagram of the combat zone. ‘If you need 8,000 rounds a day to defend the front line, but you only have, for example, 2,000 rounds, you have to do less’, he explained. ‘How? Of course, to go back. Make the front line shorter. If it breaks, the Russians could go to the big cities.”
While Kiev’s present situation can be blamed on the diminished foreign aid, there is also the fact that Ukraine is “catastrophically short” of soldiers, as described in a recent Politico report.
“Ukraine needs to draft many more men for a battlefield that is chewing up bodies, but authorities are conflicted over whether to cajole or coerce, and fear the political fallout if they choose the latter. Since the Russian invasion two years ago around 9,000 draft-evasion proceedings have been opened, according to the Ukrainian interior ministry, but that’s just scratching the surface of the draft-dodging and the evasion of registration so enlistment notices can’t be issued.
[…] Ukraine is perilously short not only of ammunition — especially artillery shells and air defense missiles — but also of soldiers to see off a Russian attack. The average age of Ukraine’s frontline soldiers is 43 — and evidence of draft-dodging is mounting.
[…] In December Zelenskyy said 450,000 to 500,000 extra soldiers would be needed to resist Russia in 2024. The Ukrainian parliament has for weeks been considering fresh mobilization legislation, which would see the minimum conscription age lowered from 27 to 25. The age was in fact lowered in separate legislation last July and approved by parliament, but Zelenskyy never signed it into law. He hasn’t fully explained why.
The new draft legislation has been re-written several times and envisages a call-up of another 400,000 Ukrainian troops. It has stalled in the parliament, however, with lawmakers objecting to some punitive measures they regard as unconstitutional, such as restricting the property rights of draft-dodgers, impounding their cars and blocking their bank accounts.”
So changed is the situation that even the maximalist territorial aims by Ukraine have shifted.
While Zelensky initially declared negotiations with Russia meant Ukraine reaching the 1991 borders, now he is already talking about Ukraine’s 2022 borders which also seems an objective impossible to attain.
It has surfaced in social media images of ‘infant soldiers’ heading to the frontline.
Criticism follows Ukraine Newly recruited infant soldiers that will face Russian Army.

The family of a Missouri school girl who was badly beaten earlier this month says she is out of her coma — and out of the intensive care unit.
“Kaylee is now out of the intensive care unit, and in the past few days Kaylee has been able to engage in limited verbal conversations,” her parents said in a statement released by their lawyer cited by St. Louis’ KSDK.
“Kaylee also recently began speech therapy, and has gone on a few short walks with the assistance of hospital staff as she is still unable to ambulate on her own,” they added. “However, Kaylee does not have any recollection of the altercation that led to her hospitalization.”
Earlier, her mother had written on a fundraising site that her daughter “still has an incredibly long journey ahead of her,” which seemed hardly less true a week later.
Gain’s parents are also demanding that her attacker be tried as an adult for inflicting brain damage on their 16-year-old daughter.
“[T]he family believes trying the accused as an adult is the most appropriate way to provide the justice that Kaylee deserves,” the statement said, according to the U.K.’s Daily Mail.
The Gain family said such a trial was appropriate “”given the particularly violent nature of this assault, and also taking into account the devastating injuries that Kaylee has incurred,” even though her accused attacker, Maurnice DeClue, was only 15.
Because of her age, authorities had not publicly identified DeClue, KSDK noted.
However, DeClue’s parents issued what the outlet described as “an open letter” Thursday, in what seemed to be an attempt to defend DeClue’s character and reputation.
DeClue’s mother also “seemed confused” by attempts to politicize the incident.
“This is not about racism,” she told KSDK. “This is about two girls having a fight.”
Family friend Sarah Hall, who started a GoFundMe to support the Gain family, wrote on that site that Kaylee Gain had been admitted to a St. Louis hospital “with a skull fracture and frontal lobe damage.”
At the time, she had been diagnosed with “major brain bleeding and swelling and is in critical condition,” Hall wrote then.
“Kaylee is fighting hard to stay alive and heal but this is only the beginning of a very uphill battle for Kaylee and her family,” she wrote.
Ten days later, mom April Gain wrote an update there, saying that Kaylee had been moved from the ICU and was considered to be in “stable” condition.
“She still has an incredibly long journey ahead of her but she is strong,” she wrote.
The GoFundMe, started three days after the fight on March 12, crossed the $400,000 threshold early Saturday morning.
It was seeking to raise a total of half a million dollars to help cover “lost wages and piling up medical bills.”

Jamarcus Glover, the subject of a police raid in Louisville that resulted in the death of Breonna Taylor, was sentenced to seven years in prison Tuesday. just months after he violated his probation by not appearing for court appearances related to drug trafficking charges.
Glover was arrested by U.S. Marshals on Jan. 22 following a thorough fugitive investigation. Judge Mitch Perry revoked Glover’s probation in the March 13, 2020, drug trafficking raid case Tuesday morning.
In October, a grand jury indicted Glover and six additional people allegedly involved in the overdose death of a 13-year-old girl. The child overdosed on fentanyl in an apartment on Prince William Street, where Glover lived.
Police said Kiera Bradley, the girl’s mother, was in a relationship with Glover. Court documents show her 18-year-old son, Kereon Bradley, also lived at the location.
Police arrested Glover after raids on the apartment and another location on Taylor Boulevard. Police said they found drugs and guns during the searches.
Glover posted a $20,000 bond, paid for by a man in Nebraska, a woman in Owensboro and Kiera Bradley, then skipped court and went on the run.
A grand jury indicted Glover, Kiera Bradley, Kereon Bradley, and four other adults — Ronald Jay Hall, Anthony Johnson, Ahrae Marks and Christopher Skinner — for trafficking fentanyl and cocaine, engaging in organized crime, and tampering with physical evidence.
Glover was arrested at a home on Rodman Street in Louisville near the Algonquin neighborhood Jan. 22.
A drug trafficking ring involving Glover and six others was scheduled for arraignment in October 2023. Glover failed to appear in court alongside his alleged accomplices.
The investigation into the alleged drug ring started last April when police were called to the overdose death of a 13-year-old girl at a St. Matthews apartment. According to court documents, Glover lived at the apartment where the girl died. He is not charged in the teen’s death.
Glover was arrested Oct. 1, 2023 on multiple drug and weapons charges. He and his six co-conspirators are accused of using juveniles under the age of 18 to transport and sell heroin, fentanyl and other illegal drugs.
That case is still pending. Glover is scheduled to be in court on April 16.
In 2020, police sought out a search warrant for Taylor’s home as part of a broader investigation that focused on drug suspects Glover and Adrian Walker. Police believed Glover may have been using Taylor’s apartment to receive drugs and store money.
Glover also used Taylor’s address as his home address on bank statements and was observed by police picking up a package from her apartment in January before driving to a “known drug house,” according to the police search warrant affidavit.
Breonna Taylor was shot after police burst into her apartment near Pleasure Ridge Park. Kenneth Walker, her boyfriend, admitted he fired at the officers as they entered the apartment but said he believed they had entered illegally. Former officer Jonathan Mattingly was hit by him.
The death of Breonna Taylor launched violent riots by Black Lives Matter and promoted by Democrats in Louisville and beyond.

Over 750,000 fish are now dead in the Nishnabotna River after 1,500 tons of liquid nitrogen fertilizer spilled into the river.
Iowa Department of Natural Resources was notified about the spill by fertilizer company New Cooperative after a massive amount of nitrogen fertilizer spilled into a drainage ditch connected to the Nishnabotna River.
New Cooperative told Iowa DNR officials that the spill stemmed from a malfunctioning valve in a tank storing liquid nitrogen fertilizer that had gone unnoticed for several days.
Iowa DNR officials shared, “DNR Fisheries staff documented the fish kill occurring in all 49.8 miles of the East Nishnabotna and Nishnabotna Rivers downstream of the spill.”
The Nishnabotna River is a tributary to the Missouri River and flows through Iowa, Missouri, and Nebraska.
Fertilizer spill killed more than 750,000 fish in Nishnabotna River, Iowa DNR says https://t.co/K3megkabn4
— Des Moines Register (@DMRegister) March 29, 2024
A fertilizer spill this month in southwest Iowa killed nearly all the fish in a 60-mile stretch of river with an estimated death toll of more than 750,000, according to Iowa and Missouri conservation officers.
That is the biggest fish kill in Iowa in at least a decade and the fifth-largest on record, according to state data.
And it could have been worse: Fish populations were likely smaller than normal when the spill happened because of cold water temperatures and low river flows.
“Thank goodness, in a way, it happened when it did,” said Joe Larscheid, chief of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources’ fisheries bureau. “But this is a big one. It’s a lot of river miles that have been impacted.”
The spill originated at NEW Cooperative in Red Oak, Iowa, where a valve that either malfunctioned or was not properly closed leaked about 265,000 gallons of liquid nitrogen fertilizer, most of which went into the nearby East Nishnabotna River.
The carnage spread to Missouri, where the unified Nishnabotna River flows for about 10 miles before it meets the Missouri River.
Matt Combes of the Missouri Dept. of Conservation, said there was “a near total fish kill.” #moleg #mogov via @jstrong712https://t.co/U2TMK7Whhf

Since the raids on Puff Diddy’s home earlier this week, attention has been focused on his residences, which he doesn’t seem to be enjoying. To avoid prying eyes, he and his team have even taken an eye-raising approach. Looks like they have shielded the entrance of Diddy’s Star Island home with umbrellas positioned on and around a Cadillac Escalade in his driveway.
Uncertainty remains regarding whether or not the umbrellas were successful in concealing what the mogul wanted to hide.
For those who don’t know, two of Diddy’s mansions were raided by Homeland Security earlier this week. The raids were conducted as part of a federal human trafficking investigation. Authorities reportedly found guns, seized multiple phones, and more during the searches.
The music mogul and his team have continued to cling to his innocence. They’ve even since accused officials of a gross overuse of military-level force.
“Mr. Combs was never detained but spoke to and cooperated with authorities. [He] will continue to fight every single day to clear his name,” a legal rep for Diddy claimed after the raids. While Diddy may have been able to keep cameras at bay with umbrellas following the highly publicized raids, they did little to keep away nosy neighbors, or their false allegations.
This week, for example, Diddy’s neighbor Khaliq Thomas drove through the chaos of the raids and made some outlandish claims to a nearby reporter.
He alleged that the Bad Boy Records founder frequently has busloads of minors dropped off at his home in the middle of the night. Luckily, the man later confirmed that he was only trolling, taking back his claims.
An earlier report by HotNewHipHop.com reported on the claims made by the alleged neighbor.
In the aftermath of all of this, media coverage began to explode. From news networks to newspapers to social media outlets, everyone has been tracking this story. In fact, there were numerous TV cameras outside of Diddy’s home on Monday, and there were plenty of onlookers.
In a video shared by DJ Akademiks, you can see two men drive by the scene. However, they decide to stop and have a conversation with one of the reporters. That’s when the young man claims to be a neighbor of Diddy’s. He subsequently goes on to make some outlandish claims that are completely unfounded. Regardless, the video is now going viral on social media.
During the raids, there were some people who were looking to take advantage of the media attention. For instance, we reported yesterday about a young man who claimed to be Diddy’s neighbor. He claimed that the mogul would have bus loads of children dropped off at his home during the early hours of the morning. We flagged this claim as outlandish and unfounded.
Now, the mother of the young man is coming out and confirming this to be the case. According to TMZ, Khaliq Thomas is, indeed, a neighbor of Diddy’s. However, he was simply trolling with his comments.
Whether the young man was trolling or not, it is probably best for his name not to be involved in whatever is happening in the Diddy household.

The integrity of the election process in Lorain County, Ohio has come into question after a polling place manager was captured on surveillance footage transporting blank provisional ballots into a local bar.
The Lorain County Board of Elections, the Lorain County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO), and the Ohio Secretary of State have launched a full investigation into the incident, Cleveland19 reported.
The video from the MAHD House Bar & Grille, which has since gone viral, clearly shows the poll manager entering with bags and placing them inside a booth, only to leave them unattended while he enjoyed a meal.
The owner of MAHD House, James Tucker, expressed his concern upon realizing what the bags contained.
“After he ordered his dinner, he went over and started stuffing these bags which we could see in them they said ballot on it and I’m like that don’t look right,” Tucker told 19 News.
“I’m telling you, when I seen it, I went, ‘this does not look right,’” Tucker said.
“I mean, we’re right across the street from the Lorain County Board of Elections. I’ve been here seven years, ain’t never seen nobody bring no ballot bags in. I don’t know what just happened, but I’m a little nervous,” he added.
Paul Adams, the Board of Elections director, assured the public that the matter is being taken seriously.
“That was a great concern for us and one of the reasons why that person is no longer in that role and has been replaced and been removed from his position,” Adams said.
“We generally direct our poll workers to take those home, keep those safe,” he added.
The individual in question, identified as Mark Provenza, a Democrat and a former city law director and veteran poll worker, purportedly visited the bar, situated across the street from the Board of Elections, while waiting for a ride. The Board claimed that the seals on the ballot bags remained intact, ensuring no tampering occurred.
WATCH:
The Fox 8 I-Team, which has been closely following the case, revealed additional footage showing Provenza transferring the ballot bags into garbage bags, purportedly to protect them against the weather, and then leaving them unwatched.
Commenting on the incident, Captain Robert Vansant of the Lorain County Sheriff’s Department admitted the understandable public concern the video has caused. Despite the unsettling footage, the department concluded that there was no clear evidence of a crime.
The investigation, however, remains active, with the case being sent to a prosecutor for further review.
“We always want all cases to be reviewed by a prosecutor just to get a second set of eyes on it,” Captain Vansant said.
FOX 8 reported:
What about putting those ballot bags into garbage bags? A report shows the poll worker said he wanted to keep the ballots safe from the weather.
The report shows he ordered a beer and a sandwich, and he went to the bar to wait for a ride since he was having car trouble.
The Lorain County Board of Elections sys poll workers can pick up materials ahead of Election Day.
But, after seeing this new video, the county will not be using Provenza anymore. The Board of Elections was especially bothered by the video showing the worker walk away from blank ballots.
The report says Provenza told investigators, yes, he walked away from those ballots, but they were never really out of his sight.
In 2009, a municipal judge in Lakewood mandated that Mark Provenza, the former Law Director of Lorain City, be incarcerated for an additional nine months due to a parole violation. Provenza, who had just been released from jail for a drunken driving offense, breached the conditions of his parole by consuming a beer on the day of his release, Cleveland reported.
Legal Profession Blog also reported in 2016:
Former Lorain Law Director Mark Provenza is facing potential sanctions from the Ohio Supreme Court’s disciplinary arm for allegedly failing to provide legal services for two of his clients and then refusing to cooperate with the investigation into allegations against him.
According to a certified complaint filed by the Lorain County Bar Association with the Board of Commissioners on Grievances and Discipline last week, Provenza neglected his responsibilities to the two clients earlier this year.
In one instance Provenza is accused of taking $800 from Robin Maxwell-Smith to file a divorce for her and then not doing any of the work.
Maxwell-Smith paid Provenza $300 on Dec. 27, 2013, for the divorce paperwork to be filed. That money should have been deposited in Provenza’s trust account, where lawyers are supposed to keep money from clients while cases are pending, but that never happened, the complaint said.
Over the next few months, Maxwell-Smith made several attempts to contact Provenza, but never had any meaningful communication with him, although she did pay him another $500 on Feb. 20. That money also wasn’t put into the trust account.

In a concerning development, it has come to light that New York City’s public school system is introducing HIV education to children as young as 4 years old. According to a report by The New York Post, this revamped curriculum, implemented in September, includes lessons centered around a controversial book titled “These are My Eyes, This is My Nose, This is My Vulva, These are My Toes” by Lexx “The Sex Doc” Brown-James, a black female sex educator and therapist from St. Louis.
This decision has sparked considerable debate among conservative circles, raising questions about the appropriateness of discussing such sensitive topics with kindergarteners. Critics argue that introducing young children to explicit information about genitalia and HIV could be premature and potentially harmful to their innocence and development.
“Some girls wear dresses, some girls won’t, some girls have vulvas and some girls don’t,” the book says. “Some boys have a penis but not all boys do. To always use your manners, ask ‘What may I call you?,’” it continues.
“EJ is not a girl or a boy. So not he or she. To show you care, always use ‘they,’ ‘them’ and ‘theirs.’”
The lessons, which include a video of the book created and adapted by Brown-James specifically for NYC Public Schools, lay the foundation to learn about the human immunodeficiency virus — which can lead to AIDS — down the road.
The K-12 program, “Growing Up and Staying Safe: New York City K-12 HIV Education Curriculum,” is the city’s response to state-mandated HIV/AIDS lessons, and was funded in part by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
“It’s beyond inappropriate,” said Natalya Murakhver, an Upper West Side mom and co-founder of the nonprofit Restore Childhood.
“This is graphic content that, if it’s introduced, I think it should be introduced in the home, not in the schools,” she added.
One Brooklyn mom of a kindergartener received notice last week that her 5-year-old would be getting the lessons — and was given no option to opt-out.
One parent expressed concern, remarking, “It makes me nervous because, if they’re going into this much detail in kindergarten, what is it going to be like by third or fourth grade?”
Moving into first grade, children are introduced to the concept that HIV can be transmitted through the blood or bodily fluids of an infected individual.
In comparing the transmission of diseases, the lesson plans and slide decks available to teachers via the city’s WeTeachNYC portal highlight that while COVID is deemed “easy to pass,” HIV is categorized as “harder to pass.”
In September, the Department of Education (DOE) unveiled the newly revised K-12 curriculum, marking the initial update to the material since 2012.

There was once a time, not so long ago, when the Vatican prelate tasked with the highest doctrine office actually cared about… the doctrine.
German Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller, who headed the Holy Office under former Pope Benedict XVI, has just condemned U.S. President Joe Biden’s support for abortion.
Müller said called it ‘infanticide’, and said that people promoting this crime should be ‘excommunicated’.
LifeSite News reported:
“’The word ‘abortion’ is too much a soft word. The reality is killing, murder of a living person’, said Cardinal Gerhard Müller. ‘There’s no right to kill another person. It’s absolutely against the Fifth Commandment’.”
The cardinal made his comments during an interview with LifeSiteNews in Rome. He torched Biden’s very public and consistent pro-abortion.
This comes after Biden, in his 2024 State of the Union Address, promised to ‘restore Roe v. Wade as the law of the land again’.
“Cardinal Müller likened the killing of the unborn and the elderly to the ‘Nazi’ times, saying that ‘it’s absolutely unacceptable that you can say you are a Catholic and promote and justify killing of human persons, human beings [from] the beginning in the mother’s womb, until the last respiration [with] euthanasia… Killing of ill people, like in the Nazi times, is euthanasia’.
Biden is very public about his self-professed Catholic faith, but Cardinal Müller suggested that while Biden is ‘nominally a Catholic, in reality he is a Nihilist. It’s cynicism and absolute cynicism’.”
Christians throughout America, and even nonbelievers ‘with their own mere reason’, understand that it’s not possible for one human being to have the right to kill another one.
“Drawing on the example of St. Ambrose of Milan and his excommunication of the Emperor Theodosius, Cardinal Müller commented how ‘in other times people like this would be excommunicated. In former times the Popes and the bishops had no fear to excommunicate, like St. Ambrose of Milan’.”
The Cardinal talked about how Western leaders in Germany and France established the right to kill their people, and lost any credibility.
How can they protest against the killing of innocent people in Ukraine, while on the other hand allow the killing of their own children?
After Biden’ State of the Union address, LifeSite has called for the U.S. bishops ‘to excommunicate the pro-abortion president’.
“Cardinal Müller stated that ‘the first step must be that we [must] have the unanimous U.S. bishops conference, probably together with other Christian religious, other religious leaders, [give] an absolute, clear, strong statement that this [abortion] is against all the standards and principles of humanity’.
[…] The Code of Canon Law 915 also explicitly forbids those in mortal sin from receiving Communion: ‘Those who have been excommunicated or interdicted after the imposition or declaration of the penalty and others obstinately persevering in manifest grave sin are not to be admitted to Holy Communion’.”
Cardinal Müller also blasted the ‘narrow-minded ideas’ of the pro-abortion movement.
It holds that ‘only my happiness is important’, as the sole criteria of the sense of one’s own life.”

The European Organization for Nuclear Research, best known as CERN, will smash protons together at nearly the speed of light on April 8th, which happens to be the day a total solar eclipse will occur.
After close to a two-year hibernation, CERN will fire up its Large Hadron Collider in an attempt to discover dark matter, dark energy, and what the universe is made of.
According to CERN, “The Large Hadron Collider is the most powerful accelerator in the world, and it boosts particles, such as protons, which form all the matter we know. Accelerated to a speed close to that of light, they collide with other protons. These collisions produce massive particles, such as the Higgs boson or the top quark.”
Scientists are already starting preliminary testing on the $4 billion LHC machine.

Per The Daily Mail:
The world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator is set smash protons together on April 8 to search for invisible particles secretly powering our universe.
Theories have suggested there are 17 different particle groups and the European Organization for Nuclear Research, better known as CERN, confirmed the existence of one using its Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in 2012.
Now, the team has restarted the LHC after a two-year hibernation with hopes of unraveling more mysterious – specifically dark matter.
Scientists began preliminary tests by sending billions of protons around the LHC’s ring of superconducting magnets to boost their energy and ensure the $4 billion machine was in working condition.
And next month, CERN will shoot them down a 17-mile-long tunnel at nearly the speed of light to recreate conditions a second after the Big Bang.
Joshua Ruderman, a physics professor at New York University, has described the LHC as “a particle creation machine and a particle discovery machine.”
CERN has not received a favorable opinion from the public eye in the last two decades.
In 2004, CERN received backlash after placing a Shiva Statue outside its headquarters in Switzerland.

Earlier this month, TGP’s Ben Kew reported Tuberville used similar language in a campaign speech in Utah describing the state of society (excerpt):
Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville has warned that a “satanic cult” are trying to groom America’s children into their warped ideology.
Tuberville made the remarks during a speech on Friday at a warehouse in front of approximately 100 Republican delegates in Utah, where he was campaigning for Trump-aligned Senate candidate Trent Staggs.
“I’ve traveled all over the country — all 50 states — I’ve been in good places and bad places,” Tuberville warned. “The one thing I saw, we are losing our kids to a satanic cult.”
The former college football coach added that the choice in this year’s election is between those who are pro and anti-American.
“We’ve lost our moral values across the country. We’ve got to get back to the Constitution, and we have got to get back to the Bible. We’ve got to get God back in our country,” he continued. “There’s not one Democrat that can tell you they stand up for God.”
Last June, Biden hung the transgender flag in a place of honor at the White House:

Earlier this week, Guyana President Mohamed Irfaan Ali dished out an incredible beatdown of a woke British “journalist” in a debate over “climate change.”
The BBC’s Stephen Sackur, who hosts the interview program HARDTalk, attempted to ambush Ali with a question regarding the country preparing to extract oil and gas off its coast. He tried to hide behind “experts” who claimed this would result in billions of carbon emissions being emitted.
But Ali quickly flipped the tables on him with an extended, brilliant response based on cold, hard facts. He first pointed out that Guyana has a vast forest bigger than England and Scotland combined.
He then turned to Shakur, saying “I will lecture you on climate change!” after the Brit tried to interrupt him and continued his rant. He pointed out Guyana has the lowest deforestation rate in the world, and even with the most extensive possible extraction of oil and gas; the country would still be at net zero emissions.
But Ali was not finished. He then pointed out the hypocrisy of Western journalists lecturing poor countries like Guyana when their countries have destroyed the environment and destroyed biodiversity throughout the world. Guyana, on the other hand, has maintained its biodiversity and protected the environment.

Transcript:
Sackur: Let’s take a big picture look at what is going on here. Over the next decade, two decades, there will be $150 billion worth of oil and gas extracted off your coast.
It’s an extraordinary figure…that means, according to experts, more than 2 billion tons of carbon emissions will come from your seabed and be released into the atmosphere. I don’t know if you, as a head of state, went to COP…
Ali: Let me stop you right there! Do you know that Guyana has a forest that is the size of England and Scotland combined? A forest that stores 90.5 gigatons of carbon. A forest that we have kept alive…
Sackur: Does that give you the right to release all of this carbon…
Ali: Does that give you the right to lecture us on climate change?” I will lecture YOU on climate change!
Because we have kept this forest alive, that stores 90.5 gigatons of carbon. That you enjoy. That the world enjoys. That you don’t pay us for. That you don’t see a value in…Guess what? We have the lowest deforestation rate in the world.
And guess what? Even with our greatest extraction of the oil and gas resources we have now, we (Guyana) will still be at net zero.
Shakur: Powerful words, Mr. President, but…
Ali: I am not finished just yet. Because this is a hypocrisy that exists in the world.
The world in the last 50 years has lost 65% of its biodiversity. We have kept our biodiversity.
Are you valuing it? Or are you in the pockets of those who have damaged the environment…have destroyed the environment via the Industrial Revolution? Are you in their pockets?

Prosecutors in Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s office said President Trump violated Judge Juan Merchan’s gag order when he criticized the judge’s daughter on social media.
The far-left judge overseeing the Stormy Daniels ‘hush money’ trial hit President Trump with a gag order on Tuesday.
Judge Juan Merchan ordered Trump to refrain from making any public statements about witnesses and jurors in the Stormy Daniels case.
Trump criticized Merchan’s daughter and now Bragg’s office wants the judge to “clarify or confirm” the scope of his gag order.
President Trump’s attorneys said the former president didn’t violate the gag order because Loren Merchan is not a witness or a juror.
“The Court cannot ‘direct’ President Trump to do something that the gag order does not require,” Trump’s lawyers Todd Blanche and Susan Necheles wrote to Merchan in a response to the prosecution’s letter, according to AP. “To ‘clarify or confirm’ the meaning of the gag order in the way the People suggest would be to expand it.”
The AP reported:
Manhattan prosecutors suggested Friday that Donald Trump violated a gag order in his hush-money criminal case this week by assailing the judge’s daughter and making a false claim about her on social media.
The Manhattan district attorney’s office asked Judge Juan M. Merchan to “clarify or confirm” the scope of the gag order, which he issued on Tuesday, and to direct the former president and presumptive Republican nominee to “immediately desist from attacks on family members.”
In a letter to Merchan, Assistant District Attorney Joshua Steinglass argued that the gag order’s ban on statements meant to interfere with or harass the court’s staff or their families makes the judge’s daughter off-limits from Trump’s rhetoric. He said Trump should be punished for further violations.
The judge’s daughter, Loren Merchan, is a far-left political operative who worked for the Biden-Harris campaign. The media has infantilized Loren Merchan in an effort to attack Trump’s First Amendment-protected speech.
President Trump on Wednesday said the daughter of the far-left judge who just hit him with a gag order in the Stormy Daniels ‘hush payment’ case posted a photo of him behind bars.
Trump called on NY Judge Juan Merchan to recuse himself after his daughter who represents “Crooked Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Adam “Shifty” Schiff, and other Radical Liberals,” posted a picture of him in jail.
An X account that Trump alleged belonged to Loren Merchan (The Gateway Pundit was unable to confirmed it was her account) posted a photo of Trump behind bars. The photo has since been changed to a picture of Kamala Harris.
Trump’s lawyers previously moved to force Judge Merchan to recuse himself after it was revealed his daughter Loren Merchan worked with the Biden-Harris campaign.
On Wednesday Trump went off on the judge in a series of Truth Social posts and called for him to recuse himself from the case after accusing his daughter of posting a photo of him in jail.
“Judge Juan Merchan, who is suffering from an acute case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (whose daughter represents Crooked Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Adam “Shifty” Schiff, and other Radical Liberals, has just posted a picture of me behind bars, her obvious goal, and makes it completely impossible for me to get a fair trial) has now issued another illegal, un-American, unConstitutional “order,” as he continues to try and take away my Rights. This Judge, by issuing a vicious “Gag Order,” is wrongfully attempting to deprive me of my First Amendment Right to speak out against the Weaponization of Law Enforcement, including the fact that Crooked Joe Biden, Merrick Garland, and their Hacks and Thugs are tracking and following me all across the Country, obsessively trying to persecute me, while everyone knows I have done nothing wrong!” Trump said on Wednesday.
In a bizarre twist, a spokesperson for the court said the X account no longer belongs to Juan Merchan’s daughter.
“The X, formerly Twitter, account being attributed to Judge Merchan’s daughter no longer belongs to her since she deleted it approximately a year ago,” state OCA spokesperson Al Baker said in a statement to The Hill on Thursday.
“It is not linked to her email address, nor has she posted under that screenname since she deleted the account,” Baker continued. “Rather, it represents the reconstitution, last April, and manipulation of an account she long ago abandoned.”
So who is running the account now?

Diller, 31, was shot and killed by a criminal with a lengthy rap sheet during a routine traffic stop in Far Rockaway, Queens, on March 25, 2024.

The grieving wife explained that it’s been over two years since NYPD Detective Jason Rivera and Detective Wilbert Mora were shot and killed when they responded to a domestic dispute call.
“Dominique Rivera stood in front of all the elected officials present today pleading for change,” she said through tears. “That change never came — and now my son will grow up without his father, I will grow old without my husband, and his parents have to say goodbye to their child.”
Officer Diller left behind a one-year-old son.
“How many more police officers and how many more families need to make the ultimate sacrifice before we start protecting them?” she asked.
Stephanie Diller said that her husband did good for other people, and now it is time for everyone to do good for the officers he represents.
Officer Diller and his partner had approached a vehicle illegally parked at a bus stop. They asked the two people inside, Lindy Jones, 41, and Guy Rivera, 34, to move the vehicle. The two men refused to cooperate, roll down their windows, or show their hands.
Instead, Rivera shot Diller.
Rivera has now been charged with murder of a police officer, attempted murder, and criminal possession of a weapon. Diller’s partner had shot him after he opened fire, and he remained hospitalized on Thursday — so the date of his arraignment is unknown.
Jones has been charged with criminal possession of a weapon and possession of a defaced firearm.

The Biden Regime is under fire for issuing a White House proclamation declaring March 31 as “Transgender Day of Visibility.”
This March 31, of course, is Easter!
“On Transgender Day of Visibility, we honor the extraordinary courage and contributions of transgender Americans and reaffirm our nation’s commitment to forming a more perfect union — where all people are created equal and treated equally throughout their lives,” Biden wrote in the declaration.
“Devout Catholic” Joe Biden also banned any Christian-themed designs from being submitted to the White House’s Easter-themed art contest.
This is even though Easter is a Christian holiday commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

“In America, 1 in 3 women of reproductive age live in a state with an abortion ban in effect This is a direct result of Donald Trump’s Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade,” Harris said on Saturday. “He is the architect of this health care crisis.”

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), along with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), has reported that a Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), initially detected in dairy cows in Texas and Kansas, has now spread to additional herds in Michigan, Idaho, and New Mexico.
Federal health officials announced on Friday that Michigan had confirmed cases of the virus marking an unprecedented event in the state’s agricultural history, while Idaho and New Mexico have reported presumptive positive tests.
Tim Boring, the Director of MDARD, described the situation as “rapidly evolving,” highlighting the unusual nature of this flu’s transmission.
The source of the infection has been traced back to a herd of cattle from Texas, which was relocated to a commercial farm in Michigan on March 7, according to MLive.
Despite passing all health inspections upon arrival, the first signs of illness were observed on March 20, with the state lab confirming the presence of the highly pathogenic avian flu by March 26.
The infection’s confirmation comes amidst reports by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) of similar outbreaks in dairy cows in Texas and Kansas, attributed to transmission via wild birds. However, health officials have reassured the public that the risk remains low, with no indication of the virus mutating to become transmissible to humans.
While MDARD has not disclosed the number of affected cows, measures are in place to ensure there is no impact on the commercial milk supply. According to Tim Slawinski, director of Michigan’s Bureau of Food Safety and Animal Health, strict protocols at both the farm and processing levels effectively prevent milk from infected animals from entering the supply chain.
This outbreak is part of the broader impact of the deadliest bird flu in U.S. history, which has led to the deaths of over 82 million birds since January 2022 and a significant spike in egg prices.
The flu’s ease of spread among poultry through direct contact or contaminated materials poses ongoing challenges to containment efforts.
In Michigan alone, nearly 118,000 birds across commercial and backyard flocks have been affected, according to MLive.
USDA released the following statement:
USDA’s National Veterinary Services Laboratories (NVSL) has now also confirmed the presence of HPAI in a Michigan dairy herd that had recently received cows from Texas. Presumptive positive test results have also been received for additional herds in New Mexico, Idaho, and Texas; USDA will share updates if those tests are confirmed positive by NVSL. Federal and state agencies continue to conduct additional testing in swabs from sick animals and in unpasteurized clinical milk samples from sick animals, as well as viral genome sequencing, to assess whether HPAI or another unrelated illness may be underlying any symptoms
The NVSL has also confirmed that the strain of the virus found in Michigan is very similar to the strain confirmed in Texas and Kansas that appears to have been introduced by wild birds (H5N1, Eurasian lineage goose/Guangdong clade 2.3.4.4b). Initial testing has not found changes to the virus that would make it more transmissible to humans. While cases among humans in direct contact with infected animals are possible, this indicates that the current risk to the public remains low.
Spread of symptoms among the Michigan herd also indicates that HPAI transmission between cattle cannot be ruled out; USDA and partners continue to monitor this closely and have advised veterinarians and producers to practice good biosecurity, test animals before necessary movements, minimize animal movements, and isolate sick cattle from the herd. Among the dairies whose herds are exhibiting symptoms, the affected animals have recovered after isolation with little to no associated mortality reported.
There continues to be no concern about the safety of the commercial milk supply because products are pasteurized before entering the market, or that this circumstance poses a risk to consumer health. Dairies are required to send only milk from healthy animals into processing for human consumption; milk from impacted animals is being diverted or destroyed so that it does not enter the human food supply. In addition, pasteurization has continually proven to inactivate bacteria and viruses, like influenza, in milk. Pasteurization is required for any milk entering interstate commerce for human consumption. FDA’s longstanding position is that unpasteurized, raw milk can harbor dangerous microorganisms that can pose serious health risks to consumers, and FDA is reminding consumers of the risks associated with raw milk consumption in light of the HPAI detections.
Because of the limited information available about the transmission of HPAI in raw milk, the FDA recommends that industry does not manufacture or sell raw milk or raw/unpasteurized milk cheese products made with milk from cows showing symptoms of illness, including those infected with avian influenza or exposed to those infected with avian influenza. At this time, the FDA is not aware that any milk or food product from symptomatic cows is entering interstate commerce. Furthermore, if milk from cows showing symptoms of illness, including those infected with avian influenza or exposed to those infected with avian influenza is intended to be used to feed calves, FDA strongly encourages that it be heat treated to kill harmful bacteria or viruses, such as influenza, before calf feeding. Food safety information from FDA, including information about the sale and consumption of raw milk, can be found here.
Milk loss resulting from symptomatic cattle to date is too limited to have a major impact on supply and there should be no impact on the price of milk or other dairy products. Further, the U.S. typically has a more than sufficient milk supply in the spring months due to seasonally higher production.
Federal agencies are also working with state and industry partners to encourage farmers and veterinarians to report cattle illnesses quickly so that we can monitor potential additional cases and minimize the impact and risk to farmers, farmworkers, consumers and other animals. Producers are urged to work with their veterinarian to report cattle illnesses quickly and practice enhanced biosecurity measures.

Georgia Law Enforcement authorities, in a months-long investigation titled “Operation Skyhawk,” arrested 150 people for operating a drone-based operation that smuggled guns, drugs, and cell phones into Georgia prisons.
Operation Skyhawk was a joint collaboration between the FBI and the Georgia Department of Corrections.
During the raid, agents seized 87 drones used to drop contraband into Georgia prison yards, 22 weapons, 273 cellphones, and over $7 million worth of drugs.
In the raids, agents arrested 150 people, including 8 Georgia Department of Corrections employees.
In a statement to the press Georgia Governor Brian Kemp shared “Georgia will not tolerate those who put our communities at risk by trafficking drugs, weapons, and contraband both in and out of our correctional facilities,”

No matter what kind of spin the White House puts on inflation, the reality is that the Biden’s tax-and-spend policies have devalued our currency.
Karine Jean-Pierre earlier this month blamed the rise in inflation on supply chains, the war in Ukraine, and the pandemic while mentioning nothing of Biden’s trillions of dollars in continued spending.
There is absolutely zero proof that Joe Biden’s inflation had anything to do with broken supply chains as she suggested.

“The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of consumer goods and services,” according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
With Americans already struggling to make ends meet, Biden decides to take the insults a step further with “Transgender Day of Visibility” which he declared is going to be on March 31st, Easter.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced a Class I recall, the most serious type of recall, for Impella Left Sided Blood Pumps after they were associated with nearly 50 fatalities.
The advanced medical devices, which are primarily used to assist blood flow in heart ventricles during procedures or after severe cardiac events, have come under scrutiny due to alarming reports of device-induced injuries and deaths.
“Impella Left Sided Blood Pumps are used for short term support of the pumping chambers of the heart (ventricles) during high-risk catheter-based procedures called percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI),” according to FDA.
“Impella Left Sided Blood Pumps also are used when there is ongoing cardiogenic shock that occurs less than 48 hours after a severe heart attack (acute myocardial infarction), open-heart surgery, or when the heart is not functioning well due to a condition called cardiomyopathy. Impella therapy aims to reduce the work of the heart’s ventricles and provide support for the circulatory system so the heart has time to recover. There are several types of Impella pumps that are used for different therapeutic reasons.”
The FDA has identified a serious risk where the pump catheter may perforate the wall of the left ventricle, leading to severe complications or even death. This issue has prompted the FDA to issue a stark warning about the device’s potential to cause “serious adverse health consequences,” including the perforation or rupture of the left ventricle, hypertension, insufficient blood flow, and fatality.
As of now, there have been 129 reports of serious injuries and 49 deaths attributed to the use of these pumps. These devices have been in circulation from October 10, 2021, to October 10, 2023, with over 66,000 units being recalled in the United States alone, The Hill reported.
The recall was initiated by the manufacturer, Abiomed, on December 27, 2023, following an urgent medical correction letter issued to all customers. This letter emphasized the necessity of adhering to revised and new warnings.
Abiomed has proactively contacted its customers, detailing the following revised guidelines:

The Trump campaign issued a statement Saturday blasting Joe Biden’s “blasphemous” proclamation of Easter Sunday as Transgender Day of Visibility. The campaign also criticized Biden for barring religious themes from a White House Easter Egg contest for children of National Guard members.
Transgender Day of Visibility was started by an activist in 2009 who set the day of the annual observance for March 31. It is not a federally mandated day of observance such as Vietnam Veterans Day set on March 29 which was signed into law by President Trump in 2017 and was observed on Friday.
Neither Barack Obama nor President Trump observed Transgender Day of Visibility while in office. Joe Biden became the first president to do so in 2021 and he has issued proclamations declaring March 31 Transgender Day of Visibility each year since. Biden and other Democrat officials are being criticized for maintaining the March 31 observance even though it falls this year on Easter Sunday.
Obama posted a statement last year, “On this Transgender Day of Visibility, Michelle and I want every trans person in America—and around the world—to know that we see you and we stand with you. Every LGBTQIA+ person deserves to feel safe and protected.”

March 30, 2024“It is appalling and insulting that Joe Biden’s White House prohibited children from submitting religious egg designs for their Easter Art Event, and formally proclaimed Easter Sunday as ‘Trans Day of Visibility.’ Sadly, these are just two more examples of the Biden Administration’s years-long assault on the Christian faith. We call on Joe Biden’s failing campaign and White House to issue an apology to the millions of Catholics and Christians across America who believe tomorrow is for one celebration only — the resurrection of Jesus Christ.” -Karoline Leavitt, National Press Secretary
The Trump campaign posted a video clip Saturday from President Trump’s 2018 Passover and Easter message:

Trump Campaign Blasts Biden's "Blasphemous" Proclamation Declaring Easter Sunday Transgender Day of Visibility | The Gateway Pundit | by Kristinn Taylor
The Trump campaign issued a statement Saturday blasting Joe Biden's "blasphemous" proclamation of Easter Sunday as Transgender Day of Visibility. The campaign also criticized Biden for barring religious themes from a White House Easter Egg contest for children of National Guard members. Transgender
Republican U.S. Congressional Candidate Kathleen Winn (AZ-06) recently spoke to The Gateway Pundit about her primary race against GOP Rep. Juan Ciscomani following his controversial vote in favor of the $1.2 trillion spending bill.
Instead of voting against the bill, which empowers Biden’s border invasion, the Representative of southern border towns in Arizona allocated taxpayer dollars to fund full-term abortion services and transgender youth services, including sex-change surgeries for kids.
Ciscomani’s district, which includes Arizona’s second-largest city, Tucson, sits just northeast of Sasabe, Arizona, which is reportedly the number-one hotspot for illegal border crossings into the United States.
CBS reports,
Nestled between the Tohono O’odham Nation Reservation and a highway that connects Tucson with Nogales, Mexico, this area in southern Arizona is one of the most remote stretches of the U.S.-Mexico border. For the past months, it has also been the busiest region for Border Patrol apprehensions of migrants entering the U.S. unlawfully.
Undeterred by miles of border wall, violent Mexican cartels and a treacherous terrain with extreme temperatures, migrants have been crossing into the Tucson sector of Arizona by the hundreds, and sometimes by the thousands, each day — often with the help of smugglers.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, RINO Juan Ciscomani (R-AZ) was disinvited from attending a church in his district out of condemnation for his yes vote in favor of abortion and youth LGBTQ organizations while the southern border catastrophe rages on.
Ciscomani was one of the 101 RINOs who voted for the massive spending bill to avert a government shutdown. The bill received more support from Democrats than Republicans.
The vote—286 to 134—had 185 Democrats and 101 Republicans voting ‘yay.’ It was later passed by the Democrat-controlled Senate.
Ciscomani was the only Representative in the Arizona Republican delegation who voted in favor of the bill.
The disastrous omnibus bill does nothing to secure the border while allocating millions of dollars to funding full-term abortions, LGBTQ programs, and youth gender transitioning programs. It also funds the Biden Regime to continue its attack on the Second Amendment with a federal gun-grab operation to keep firearms out of the hands of people who they say “pose a threat to themselves and others.”
“Ciscomani’s vote was an attack on Christianity,” Kimberly McAllister, the wife of The Bridge Church Pastor David McAllister, told The Gateway Pundit. “It was an attack on Christian values, and not just Christian values, conservative values, and on people who care about family and children. You don’t have to be a Christian to hold these values,” she continued while comparing Ciscomani to a “liberal Democrat.
McAllister added, “It was just such an attack on everything that we hold dear: family, life, protection, law and order, the border. I mean, so many things; it was one after the other, but as a church, the cultural issues of the LGBTQ and transgender agenda, the abortion, those are a big thing for us.”
Kathleen Winn told The Gateway Pundit correspondent Jordan Conradson that she has already gained enough signatures to get her name on the ballot for the July 30 Primary. Meanwhile, Ciscomani’s efforts to get signatures on his ballot petition have actually driven more voters to sign Winn’s petition.

Watch the full interview below:
CONRADSON: “People that live in your district, how do they feel about this vote to not secure our border?”
WINN: “I think it’s in accordance with every other vote he’s taken. It’s why he’s being primaried. He’s being primary because he’s tone deaf to the concerns of the people in the district. We have six Republicans in our state, and five of them vote the same, and Juan votes with the Democrats. And this last vote puts him up at 57% of the time he’s voting with the Democrats.
And this bill — he thinks he’s Santa Claus, because the money that he’s getting for projects in the district, he’s proud of that with no regard for the taxpayer dollars that he has the ability, he has the control, the power of the purse to shut down the border, and like you said, Jordan 44%, I want to underline that 44% of all illegals coming into this country are coming through the Tucson sector, that’s our district, and you don’t use that as a negotiation point to stop the massive funding and giving away dollars that we don’t even have to secure this country. His priorities are just not in a correlate with the voters of this district.”
CONRADSON: “Eli Crane and Andy Biggs, they’ve both spoken out on this — great congressman from Arizona — we need to shut the government down if the Biden Administration is not going to shut the border down. It seems that the rest of our Republican representatives are on board with that voting against this, quite frankly, disgusting bill to leave our border wide open. What do you think of that shut down the government until we shut the border down?”
WINN: “I’ve always been an advocate to shut down the government until we secure the border. I don’t want to just shut down the government just for no good reason, but until we are safe as a country and safe as a nation, that should be our top priority.
There should be no other priority. And this bill—I don’t remember the number of pages, it was over 1000—and they had it for the too short a time. But what they did spend money on $260 or $86 million for organizations that support full term abortion. So is that really more important than securing the border? That seems to me to be ludicrous and people are upset about that $200 million for yet another new FBI building in Alabama. This is not a headquarters. This is now a subsequent FBI building.
So, I don’t know what our priorities are. But in our district the people here, they want to be safe, and we almost have half the illegal immigration coming through where we live. It’s a total disconnect. So, I don’t know how you say I’m representing the district, I’m representing the people that live in southern Arizona and not provide safety, security and a plausible strategic plan for deportation, for securing the border, and for being responsive to the needs of the district. And being responsive isn’t picking out your 10 top charities and giving them millions of dollars, which is what he’s done now.”
CONRADSON: “I want to highlight one thing you said: it allows full term abortions all the way 22 weeks and it provides funding for that. It also does not prevent ice from funding abortions for illegal immigrants, the same with transgender surgeries for illegal immigrants. In addition to that, nearly $4 million dollars of this bill goes to LGBTQ programs, most of which surround so called gender affirming care for minors, gender transitions for minors, hormone care for minors to change their hormones.
I spoke to Kimberly McAllister of the bridge church in Tucson, and she told me that it was so egregious in her eyes that she actually disinvited Ciscomani from even attending her church. They had originally had planned for Cisco to attend the church and not even speak but just come, and after this, she said no don’t even come to my church. And she told me that Ciscomani’s vote “was an attack on Christianity.” What are your thoughts on that?”
WINN: “I don’t know how you say “I stand for Christian values, I am a Christian,” and then vote for full term abortions. They don’t go together, and The Bridge has been so active in our community to fight against transgenderism, drag queen story hour; we’ve worked together, I’ve worked with them. They have been just a real advocate for parents and children in our community.
So what this money went for, we’re talking over 1,700 earmarks, 1,700, and Juan’s patting himself on the back. I think that what the church did is is completely appropriate for where they stand in their beliefs. You know, there’s people that believe in abortion. In our state, it’s 15 weeks, but our laws currently in Arizona don’t support full term abortion. So why you would fund $286 million and say yes to that and then expect to go sit in a church that is against all abortion, you clearly don’t know what or who you’re representing.
And I think many churches I’m finding I’ve received calls from about five churches that I’m going to go get to speak at in the next few weeks because of this issue, this very issue. And then I think you mentioned the clinic to provide hormone therapy for kids — $2 million in Oregon. So, all these monies are being allocated for these special interest projects, these earmarks this pork, and our border is, not secure.
I don’t know why this is so complicated, but the government is dysfunctional, and I think I’m disappointed. I don’t know that I’d have asked for him to be removed, but Congressman Johnson felt that this was the time to put this out there. I don’t understand it at all. And I would have voted with Andy Biggs and Eli crane and the rest of the delegation.
How complicated is it if you say I’m a Republican to not vote with the other members? you were elected as a Republican, and I don’t care what the margin is. There’s nothing moderate about these. These are extreme liberal policies. So How dare you say, I’m a moderate Republican, when your policies that you just voted for are left of left? It’s not what people voted for to begin with, and he has, again, disappointed the voters in our district.”

On a solemn Saturday, members of the New York Police Department and family and friends came together in an overwhelming show of unity and grief at the St. Rose of Lima Roman Catholic Church to bid farewell to Officer Jonathan E. Diller.
The 31-year-old officer, who tragically lost his life in the line of duty in Queens earlier this week, was honored for his bravery, commitment to service, and the profound impact he had on his family and community.
Officer Diller, a dedicated member of the NYPD with three years of service, leaves behind a wife, Stephanie, and a 1-year-old son, Ryan.
Officer Diller was shot and killed by a career criminal in New York City with 21 previous arrests and nine felony charges. President Trump also reportedly gave a generous donation to Tunnel to Towers, the foundation that paid off the family mortgage of slain NYPD officer Jonathan Diller.
The heartrending scene at the church saw Stephanie Diller delivering a moving eulogy, with their young son held close, as she recounted the life and legacy of a man she described as not just a hero in uniform but a loving husband and father.
In a procession marked by honor and mourning, NYPD officers escorted the hearse carrying Officer Diller’s casket to its final resting place at St. Charles Resurrection Cemetery in Farmingdale.
Today, we joined together to mourn and say our final goodbyes to Detective Jonathan Diller, a true hero who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to his city. His bravery and dedication to keeping his community safe will never be forgotten. #FidelisAsMortem pic.twitter.com/LL1bBImBdl

Read the deeply moving tribute delivered by the widow of fallen NYPD Detective Jonathan Diller via the New York Post:
Hello everyone, I am Stephanie Diller, Jonathan’s wife.
I had not had the opportunity to speak before this moment, so what I would like to say, on behalf of the entire Diller family, is thank you all for the support this week.
The outpouring of love that our family has received has been overwhelming and we are forever thankful to everyone.
With every hug that I’ve received, I just picture that each one is from Jonathan.
I wish Jonathan was here to see the incredible kindness and generosity that has been shown to our family. But I know in his own way he is here watching over us.
I am so proud that thousands of people across the country are calling Jonathan a hero. But the truth is he’s always been a hero to Ryan and me. The rest of the world is just catching up. Although he was beyond proud to be a member of NYPD, his career was one of his many roles.
I want to also honor Jonathan for who he was out of uniform. I am not sure where to start and I could probably talk about Jonathan for hours, so I’ll start from the beginning:
Jonathan was born and raised on Long Island. The son of Fran and Steven Diller, and brother to Jennifer and Jason. He was the youngest of the three, which obviously means he was the mischievous one. But he also had the sweetest heart and the guiltiest conscience. So he would always smooth things over by making his mom handwritten apology letters.
He grew up . . . playing lacrosse and hockey, forming friendships that would last a lifetime. He was a connector: the kinda guy who would draw people in, and find something in common with everyone, a friend to everyone.
Following his graduation from . . . high school, he attended SUNY Maritime, where he lived with his cousin Robert. He loved telling stories of traveling all over the world, seeing beautiful places and making amazing memories.
After graduation, Jonathan and I started dating, after getting set up by our mutual friend Evan. I remember on one of our very first dates, we went to see a movie. He was so tired from work that he fell asleep in the movie theater. He started snoring so loudly that the people around us asked me to wake him up. But of course, if you ever ask him the story, I am the one who fell asleep, started snoring and embarrassed him.
It didn’t take long for me to realize how special he was. He loved to make everyone laugh, and he had the most infectious personality. When you talk to him, he really listens. And he made me feel like I was the only person in the room.
[…]
In November of 2019, at our wedding, I remember being so nervous to walk down the aisle in front of so many people. But as soon as the church doors opened, I saw him looking at me and I realized how lucky I was. He looked at me like I was his whole world. And he always treated me like I was his whole world.
Together we lived a very simple life in Massapequa. We worked hard, we relaxed at home when we could and we had the cutest dog, Tucker. We did everything together and I really mean that. We were best friends. He would call us Batman and Robin, but he said I was Batman and he was Robin. When I would meet people, I would say: if you like me, wait until you meet my husband.
He . . . decided to become a police officer in 2021. Everyone was so proud that he found something he loved to do, and he was exceptional at it. He would go in early, stay late, work overtime, all because he just loved it. It’s no surprise he was an incredible police officer when you think about what type of man he was. He was always putting people above himself, dropping everything to help someone in need, and speaking up for what was right. He was a fierce protector of everyone around him. He spoke his mind and he wasn’t afraid. I always admired him for his honesty and courage. He was my absolute greatest confidante.
Nothing compares to his best role of being a dad. Jonathan always wanted to be a dad. And he wasted no time being the greatest one. I will never forget the look on his face when our son was born. I don’t think we could ever achieve a greater happiness. He was so proud of Ryan. Every time he did something new, it was like explosion of joy for both of us. Jonathan wanted nothing more than just showing Ryan to everyone he knew. He was excited that Ryan’s first word was ‘Dada,’ and I remember, I would playfully try to get him to say ‘Mama’ instead. But now I never want to stop hearing Ryan say Dada.
I could never ask for a better partner to raise a child with than Jonathan. We were a team. He would always kiss and hug me in front of Ryan, and he said he wanted Ryan to see that his dad loves his mommy so much. And then we would pick him up between the two of us and smoosh his cheeks with kisses together.
[…]
He was called in to duty, and in typical Jonathan fashion, he didn’t run away. He did what was right and he did what he loved. He wasn’t the type to sugar-coat anything, so I won’t sugar-coat this: This is devastating, this is devastating, senseless and tragic loss for so many — our family, our friends, and the entire city of New York.
It’s a shame that someone who brought so much positivity in the world, was given such a negative ending. There was so much he was looking forward to . . . . seeing his friends become fathers and watching his son grow.
It breaks my heart that Ryan was robbed to grow up with his dad. Jonathan had so many things he wanted to teach him, like how to play ice hockey, how to drive a car, ride a bike. To watch Ryan go to his first day of school, and watching him graduate on his last.
I am eternally grateful that Jonathan made me Ryan’s mother. If am missing him, I can look at Ryan to feel close to him, because his son is just like him — always making people smile. And I promise to raise him even more like his dad. It’s hard to imagine how long I have to wait until I see Jonathan again. When the doors of heaven open for me one day, I hope to see Jonathan standing there looking at me just like he did on our wedding day.
My husband died a hero, but he also lived like one. Our world will never be the same, but I know I speak for everyone when I say I could not be more proud of him.
[…]
I don’t wish this kind of pain on anyone. Jonathan lived his life doing good for people, and it’s now time for people to do good for all the officer he represents. Which reminds me — to all his friends at 105-CRT and the boys, he wanted me to say “I love you.”
Jonathan, I don’t know how I am going to live without you. I’m so amazingly grateful for every single moment we had with you.
Rest in Peace, Jonathan, the man who captured my heart and now all of New York’s.

While the Caribbean leaders of the CARICOM and the Haitian political power brokers negotiate the formation of an unelected Transition Council that will have political power to appoint the new Prime Minister and cabinet for the chaotic and violence-stricken nation, one is left wondering: what about the armed men who actually control the situation?
In a scenario where 80 percent of the capital, Port-au-Prince, is controlled by the gang rebels, just calling them common criminals and trying to dismiss them will not work on the ground.
The head of the allied rebel gangs has said that he would only consider a ceasefire if talks on the political future of the country included his faction.
Jimmy ‘Barbecue’ Chérizier predicted that more violence is imminent and that the worse is still to come.
As for the CARICOM trying to form a transitional council, he dismissed the process as not representative of the needs of the ordinary people.
He considers it a smokescreen to allow corrupt politicians and oligarchs to continue running the country.
Sky News reported:
“‘If the international community comes with a detailed plan where we can sit together and talk, but they do not impose on us what we should decide, I think that the weapons could be lowered’, he added.
‘We don’t believe in killing people and massacring people, we believe in dialogue, we have weapons in our hand and it’s with the weapons that we must liberate this country’.”
Barbecue sees himself not as a simple criminal, but as a revolutionary for the people.
“We believe in dialogue, we are for dialogue, but this political class that is here now is not here for dialogue, the reason is that they don’t carry Haiti in their hearts the same way that we do.
The political class say they are excluding bandits, that men with guns are not in it, but this is a way for them to revive the same system, because the system has reached its end. The divide between rich and poor is too vast, in the whole world there is a divide between rich and poor, but the way it’s done in Haiti is indecent.”
He says he is open to some form of negotiations as long as they’re represented.
“We are ready for all solutions as long as Haitians are at the table, we are ready to sit and talk with everyone, because we are not proud of what is happening in this country…”
Talk about dialogue has been going on for more than two or three years, he says – ‘the weapons will be lowered when they need to be lowered’.

The Christian faith is continually being mocked by an increasingly hostile Biden regime mixed with a handful of misguided liberal Churches who probably don’t even have a copy of the Bible.
Crooked Joe Biden declared March 31st to be a “transgender day of visibility,” insulting millions of Christians.
In light of Biden’s outrageous insult to Easter, a handful of liberal churches and other religious groups tied to LGBTQ (and whatever letter they added) are following suit in observing this during Easter Sunday.
Some of these churches will be mixing transgenderism and Easter celebrations in their services. Apparently, Transgender Day of Visibility has been around since 2009.
A handful of liberal churches, religious groups and LGBTQ+ organizations are celebrating the fact that Transgender Day of Visibility, recognized each year on March 31, falls on Easter Sunday in 2024.
Easter Sunday, which is not a fixed date, also falls on March 31, marking one of the most important liturgical celebrations as millions of Christians commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Though Transgender Day of Visibility has been celebrated since 2009 on March 31, several liberal religious and non-religious organizations have rejoiced that Easter will fall on the same day. Some churches are superimposing transgender themes on Easter celebrations.
“To celebrate Easter in Canada, the Calgary Unitarians, a liberal religious organization, is incorporating a drag show as part of its Sunday service that will show “support [for] our Trans Siblings” and serve as a ‘sacred act of protest,'” Fox News reported.
Transgenderism has nothing to do with the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which is what Easter is about.
In addition to this, Joe Biden actually banned Christian themed art for Easter at the White House.

The Biden regime has given priority to fringe groups like LGBTQ while alienating millions of Christians in the United States.
In addition to that, inflation has made Easter less affordable for the average American. Staple items for the Sunday celebration have increased dramatically since early 2021 when the Biden regime took over.

Guest post by Paul S. Gardiner, retired US Army officer, Vietnam veteran
Tens of thousands of American families continue to demand justice for what they believe are the wrongful deaths (murders) of loved ones during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Such justice soon may be coming due in large part to the dedicated efforts of two attorneys in Florida (working pro bono) to thoroughly research the criminal codes of 25 states to identify crimes committed by various high-level officials and organizations prior to and during the COVID-19 pandemic.
One of the attorneys, a former prosecutor, prepared extensive legal briefs (documenting strong evidence of crimes) that have been submitted to the attorneys general of Texas and Florida—the brief was subsequently filed with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
In Texas, a total of 22 county district attorneys have received the 27-page brief plus exhibits for review and action. Similar filings soon will be made with the Louisiana and South Carolina attorneys general and perhaps several other state attorneys general. Further information about the Texas brief is here and information about the Florida brief is here.
In the briefs, the alleged crimes are according to each state’s criminal code. The legal briefs/filings request each attorney general to thoroughly investigate the evidence of alleged crimes and if found probable, convene a grand jury, present the evidence, issue criminal indictments, and prosecute the accused to the full extent of the law.
The Texas legal brief, for example, filed at the request of 46 next-of-kin Texas families, lists the following accused persons as subjects of a criminal investigation:
Alleged crimes per Texas penal code include:
This effort to investigate Anthony Fauci and other accused persons is supported by donations from individuals and organizations such as the Fight Like A Flynn PAC run by former National Security Advisor retired Lieutenant General Mike Flynn.
Based on the strong evidence of crimes presented in the legal briefs prepared by the Florida attorneys, it is indeed time for state attorneys general to conduct their own investigations.
If the evidence supports criminal charges and indictments, the victims of covid wrongful deaths and their suffering families may finally receive accountability and justice for the egregious crimes committed against them.
Further information about this justice seeking effort can be obtained by contacting the Vires Law Group at https://vireslaw.group/

Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman has surprised many people since taking office in 2023 with some of his moderate and actively sensible political positions.
Having gained a reputation as a left-wing progressive, Fetterman said in an interview with Fox News that he does not identify as a progressive but acknowledges that some people have been “taken by surprise” by some of his political positions.
He explained:
I know that some people were caught by surprise. And, you know, even when I just said, you know, in passing that I’m not a progressive, I’ve been saying that for years, actually. I’ve just really been committed to really being on what I thought it was like the right side on these things. And no, maybe politically it might be less popular with our base.
Fetterman also weighed in on the severity of the illegal immigrant invasion, a policy that many of his Democratic colleagues are actively encouraging:
When you started just following the numbers that are coming again and then when you’ve reached 200,000 or 250,000 folks that are encountered at the border – I mean that’s astonishing. And then just putting that in the context of Pennsylvania. I was like, ‘Oh my goodness. That’s nearly the size of Pittsburgh.’ And that’s our second-largest city. You can be very pro-immigration, but also demand and require that we have a secure border there as well too. I don’t know why that’s really controversial for a Democrat or any American to be pro-immigration.
The Democrat has also caused anger among some of his supporters for his staunch support for Israel, pushing back against suggestions that they are carrying out a genocide against Palestinians:
If you really want to end all of the misery and the death and the destruction – if they would just surrender, it would end tomorrow. Release everybody (the hostages). Send them home. And that’s been very frustrating. And then we’re talking about now there’s 31,000 Palestinians that were were killed. And what you’re not talking about (is) 13,000 or more are actually Hamas fighters on that. So why aren’t you breaking that out as well too? And then if you do and talk about the casualty ratio, it’s actually very clear that this isn’t a genocide or that the Israelis are targeting civilians. In fact, the only ones that target civilians? That’s Hamas.
Fetterman also opened up about his mental health, having preivously been admitted to a mental health hospital after suffering from depression.
“I feel great. I feel very fortunate, every day, to be a part of this,” he said. “I know that regardless of where you are politically or anyone watching this right now (who’s suffering from depression), it’s not you. You probably have someone that you love or know or work with that has an issue, whether it’s depression or anything like that. And I would encourage (you) to please consider getting help.”

A bridge near the Kerr Lock & Dam in Sallisaw, Oklahoma was shut down on Saturday after it was struck by a barge.
“The Oklahoma Highway Patrol responded to Sequoyah County after a barge hit a bridge near the Kerr Lock & Dam,” 4029tv.com reported.
“US-59 south of Sallisaw at the Kerr Reservoir is completely shut down at this time due to a barge that has struck the bridge. Troopers are diverting traffic away from the area. The bridge is going to be shut down until inspections of the bridge can be made,” Oklahoma Highway Patrol said on Saturday.
Engineers reportedly inspected the bridge and reopened it for travel later Saturday.
A shocked bystander who captured the collision on video dialed 911 to report the incident.

A battery manufacturing company that’s linked to the Chinese Communist Party has filed a lawsuit against a Michigan man who is refusing to leave his land, which is located near where the company is set to build its new plant.
Gotion Inc. previously bought over 270 acres of land in Big Rapids, Michigan, as it plans to build a $2.4 billion manufacturing plant.
Stephen Fenstermacher, who lives in Big Rapids, Michigan, sold some acres to Gotion Inc. under the condition he could still reside on his property.
Gotion Inc. has now filed a lawsuit to terminate its agreement with Fenstermacher and is looking to remove Fenstermacher from his land.
In the filing, Gotion Inc. claims Fenstermacher violated the contract’s terms.

Per Daily Caller:
A Chinese Communist Party-linked battery manufacturing giant is suing a Michigan man in a bid to get him off land near which the company plans to build its plant.
Gotion Inc., a subsidiary of the Chinese-based firm Gotion High-Tech, is slated to build a $2.4 billion manufacturing plant in Big Rapids, Michigan. Stephan Fenstermacher, a man living in Big Rapids, sold land to Gotion under an agreement between the two parties that he can currently reside on the property. Gotion is now looking to terminate Fenstermacher’s residency and possess the land, arguing Fenstermacher violated the terms of the agreement, according to a lawsuit first reported by the Michigan News Source.
Many Michigan residents have expressed ire with Gotion’s plans to build its plant because its parent company, Gotion High-Tech, has extensive ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the Daily Caller News Foundation previously reported. Residents voted in November elections to oust five of the seven members of the Green Charter Township board over their handling of the Gotion issue.
Gotion High-Tech employed 923 members of the CCP as of 2022 — including the company’s CEO, Li Zhen. The company openly admitted that it “founded a CCP branch in 2010 that was upgraded to a CCP committee in 2014,” according to its 2022 ESG Report.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported Gotion’s failed plan to buy up farmland in another location in Michigan last year.

Biden family values.
Joe Biden left New York City with Dr. Jill, his daughter Ashley (the one he showered with), Hunter, and baby Beau for Easter at Camp David without even mentioning fallen NYPD officer Jonathan Diller.
On Thursday Biden attended a ritzy fundraiser with out-of-touch celebrities while President Trump attended a wake for a fallen NYPD police officer.
Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and Bill Clinton were at a $500,000 per ticket fundraiser with Lizzo. A $100,000 ‘donation’ got you a photo with Biden, Obama, and Clinton by famed photog Annie Leibovitz.
Earlier this week Jonathan Diller was killed by a career criminal with 21 previous arrests and 9 felony charges during a routine traffic stop in Queens.
Trump attended Jonathan Diller’s wake on Thursday.
Biden couldn’t be bothered. After partying with celebrities and trashing Trump, Biden departed JFK Airport in New York City on Friday without even mentioning Jonathan Diller.
Per the New York Post:
President Biden departed New York City Friday to spend the Easter weekend with his family at Camp David without publicly mentioning the Monday murder of NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller — and after raising at least $26 million at a celebrity-filled campaign extravaganza Thursday night.
Biden and first lady Jill Biden boarded Air Force One at JFK Airport, about six miles from where Diller was gunned down in Far Rockaway.
The first couple were joined by scandal-plagued son Hunter, daughter Ashley and grandson Beau around 12:45 p.m.
Diller’s Thursday wake and Friday viewing in Massapequa, 20 miles east of the airport, drew New York City and New York state’s top politicians — as well as former President Donald Trump, who is seeking a rematch against Biden in November.
Biden has not said anything publicly about Diller’s traffic-stop death or issued a written statement.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre posted a statement to X Twitter Saturday night promoting Transgender Day of Visibility after Joe Biden faced a barrage of criticism for issuing a White House proclamation declaring tomorrow, Easter Sunday, Transgender Day of Visibility. The Trump campaign called Biden’s proclamation “blasphemous” and demanded an apology to Catholics and Christians.
File screen image.
Ignoring the controversy, Jean Pierre, an out lesbian, did not offer an apology to Christians nor an explanation of the timing of Biden’s proclamation, just an in your face post:
“On Transgender Day of Visibility, the Biden-Harris Administration honors the extraordinary courage and contributions of transgender Americans and reaffirms our Nation’s commitment to forming a more perfect union where all people are treated equally. This year, transgender Americans have faced an onslaught of hateful attacks. As @POTUS has said, transgender youth are some of the bravest people he knows — and they deserve to live their lives free from hate.”

— Karine Jean-Pierre (@PressSec) March 30, 2024
Transgender Day of Visibility was started by an activist in 2009 who set the day of the annual observance for March 31. It is not a federally mandated day of observance such as Vietnam Veterans Day set on March 29 which was signed into law by President Trump in 2017 and was observed on Friday. Biden and other Democrat officials like New York Gov. Kathy Hochul knowingly chose to promote the radical transgender agenda on Easter Sunday.
The Biden administration has been keeping a low profile online promoting Transgender Day of Visibility. Jean Pierre’s post is one of the few.
Admiral Rachel Levine, Assistant Secretary for Health at the Department of Health and Human Services, posted a photo on Friday with a link to official HHS statements:
#TransgenderDayOfVisibility is this Sunday, March 31. Read statements from @HHSGov leaders here: https://t.co/9mVR66Cg7J pic.twitter.com/yEchifbqSR
— ADM Rachel Levine (@HHS_ASH) March 29, 2024
HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra said in his statement:
“Today I am thinking about our country’s great transgender, nonbinary, and two-spirit leaders and trailblazers who epitomize resilience, progress, and joy. Transgender Day of Visibility is an opportunity to both celebrate their accomplishments and double down on our commitment to push the tides of progress forward.
Gender-affirming care saves lives. When trans Americans go to the doctor, they deserve the same treatment as any other patient. Stand up against discrimination, especially when it comes to transgender kids. There is no room for people being bullied for who they are. At the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, we show up for the LGBTQI+ community in meaningful ways. HHS has reinforced and clarified the rights of our transgender and nonbinary employees within our own workforce and made clear that HHS is a safe an inclusive place to work.
Our decisions to speak up or not in the face of injustice sends a message. It’s on all of us to teach the next generations love, not hate.”
Becerra also ordered the transgender flag flown at HHS headquarters in Washington, D.C. on Friday, “This morning, as we’ve done throughout this Administration, HHS flew the Transgender flag to honor Transgender Day of Visibility on Sunday. Our decisions to speak up or not in the face of injustice sends a message. It’s on all of us to teach the next generation love, not hate.”

A devastating new film by British documentary filmmaker Martin Durkin has obliterated the climate change scam in just 80 minutes.
Durkin, a former revolutionary communist turned staunch libertarian, exposes the climate change scam by interviewing a cast of world renowned academics and researchers who calmly break down how the earth’s climate has always been changing and not a result of human activity.
Climate: The Movie is neatly summarized by the conservative journalist Toby Young over at The Spectator, who describes it as the “cure for climate anxiety” experienced by so many leftist ignoramuses:
A new documentary, Climate: The Movie, by the maverick filmmaker Martin Durkin, is becoming a phenomenon, though it’s received almost no publicity in the mainstream media. It rejects the idea that we’re in the midst of a ‘climate emergency’, so that’s hardly surprising. But it has already racked up millions of views online and been translated into ten languages. I watched it on YouTube on Monday and can confirm it’s a dazzlingly entertaining film that distils the case against climate alarmism into a succinct 80 minutes.
…
One of the reasons it’s so hard to challenge the narrative about climate change is because it supposedly reflects the ‘settled’ scientific consensus…. To underline this, the film features a cast of distinguished scientists, including the winner of the 2022 Nobel Prize for physics, who gleefully take on all the sacred cows of the environmental lobby.
Among the film’s stellar set of contributors include Sallie Louise Baliunas, a retired Harvard astrophysicist, John Clauser, a theoretical and experimental physicist who won a Nobel Prize in Physics, William Happer, a Professor of Physics at Princeton and Richard Lindzen, former Professor of Meteorology at MIT.
The climate police are hard at work. Despite millions of hits, finding CLIMATE THE MOVIE on YouTube is getting harder. We have zero budget for publicity. I urge all those with a YouTube channel to keep posting it. Thanks.https://t.co/p6cHqNqtNh
— Martin Durkin (@Martin_Durkin) March 30, 2024
As well as detailng the paper thin fake science behind the climate scam, the film also explains how global elites invented the scam and then built a multi trillion dollar industry around it, creating incredible vested interests who will aggressively censor and attack those who contradict the official narrative.
“I made the movie because I think the climate alarm is bollocks and because I hate Greens (reactionary misanthrope snobs), and I love material progress (everyone getting richer), and the values and aspirations of what are called ‘ordinary people,'” Durkin told The Gateway Pundit in an interview.
The film is already being shadowbanned by YouTube and other Big Tech platforms, many of whom fear the prospect of people waking up about the extent of the climate change scam.
Climate: The Movie is avaliable for viewing on YouTube, Rumble and the X platform.

Globalist and Euro-fanatic Donald Tusk is proudly taking Poland down the war path.
On his first interview with European media since becoming Polish prime minister for the second time, Tusk urged leaders around the continent to bolster their defenses – which is a good thing.
But he did much more than that, banging the war drums as hard as he could.
BBC reported:
“Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has warned Europe is in a ‘pre-war era’ and Ukraine must not be defeated by Russia for the good of the whole continent.
[…] Appealing for urgent military aid for Ukraine, Mr. Tusk warned the next two years of the war would decide everything, adding: ‘We are living in the most critical moment since the end of the Second World War’.”
He says that Europe will be a more attractive partner to the US if it became more self-sufficient militarily.
Poland now is spending 4% of its GDP on defense, doubling the Nato target of 2%.
“I know it sounds devastating, especially to people of the younger generation, but we have to mentally get used to the arrival of a new era. The pre-war era.”
And we know this is not all talk, because it turns out that Poland suspended its participation the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe, allowing it to expand the scope of its troops and military equipment.
The denunciation means that #Warsaw will no longer fulfill the treaty’s provisions regarding the number of armed forces and their locations. pic.twitter.com/5nREZ62Kf2
— NEXTA (@nexta_tv) March 29, 2024
Deutsche Welle reported:
“‘War is no longer a concept from the past. It is real, and it started over two years ago. The most worrying thing at the moment is that literally any scenario is possible. We haven’t seen a situation like this since 1945’, Tusk said in an interview with the European media grouping LENA on Friday.
[…] ‘I know it sounds devastating, especially for the younger generation, but we have to get used to the fact that a new era has begun: the pre-war era. I’m not exaggerating; it’s becoming clearer every day’.”
Tusk advanced the rather absurd idea that ‘no one in Europe would feel safe if Kiev lost the war’.
“‘The European Union as a whole, as a powerful organization, must be mentally prepared to fight for the security of our borders and our territory’, he said.”
Of course there’s the inevitable fear-mongering over the upcoming Donald Trump victory in the US:
“‘Our job is to nurture transatlantic relations, regardless of who the US president is’, Tusk said in the interview.”
Now, if you are left wondering who is paying for the Poland rearmament, the answer is: if you are an American taxpayer, you are.

As reported earlier by Cassandra Fairbanks – Joe Biden has issued a White House proclamation declaring March 31 as “Transgender Day of Visibility.”
This March 31, of course, is Easter Sunday.
“On Transgender Day of Visibility, we honor the extraordinary courage and contributions of transgender Americans and reaffirm our nation’s commitment to forming a more perfect union — where all people are created equal and treated equally throughout their lives,” Biden wrote in the declaration.
“I am proud that my Administration has stood for justice from the start, working to ensure that the LGBTQI+ community can live openly, in safety, with dignity and respect. I am proud to have appointed transgender leaders to my Administration and to have ended the ban on transgender Americans serving openly in our military,” Biden continued. “I am proud to have signed historic Executive Orders that strengthen civil rights protections in housing, employment, health care, education, the justice system, and more. I am proud to have signed the Respect for Marriage Act into law, ensuring that every American can marry the person they love.”
Biden wrote that “transgender Americans are part of the fabric of our Nation.”
The Democrat also complained that “extremists” are working to keep pornographic books out of the hands of children — and to ban mutilating minors with “sex change” operations.
Biden wrote, “extremists are proposing hundreds of hateful laws that target and terrify transgender kids and their families — silencing teachers; banning books; and even threatening parents, doctors, and nurses with prison for helping parents get care for their children.”
“At the same time, my Administration is working to stop the bullying and harassment of transgender children and their families. The Department of Justice has taken action to push back against extreme and un-American State laws targeting transgender youth and their families and the Department of Justice is partnering with law enforcement and community groups to combat hate and violence.”
“NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 31, 2024, as Transgender Day of Visibility. I call upon all Americans to join us in lifting up the lives and voices of transgender people throughout our Nation and to work toward eliminating violence and discrimination based on gender identity.”
Biden, who is Catholic, has also banned religious artwork from the White House Easter egg competition.
This wicked sacrilege of the Christian faith outraged many faithful Americans and faith leaders.
On Holy Saturday night Christian leader Franklin Graham responded to this latest sacrilege by the Biden Administration.
Franklin Graham, the son of Billy Graham, was outraged with Joe Biden’s blasphemous and demonic declaration.
Franklin Graham: President Biden has declared tomorrow—Easter Sunday—as “Transgender Day of Visibility.” This once again shows how little respect President Biden and his administration have for God. On the most significant day of the Christian calendar, when the Church around the world celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ who died and shed His blood for the sins of mankind, the Biden administration uses this opportunity to flaunt sin, to glorify sin, and to celebrate sin. The Bible says, “…they proclaim their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them!” (Isaiah 3:9). Judgment is coming. Instead of celebrating sin, we need to confess our sins, repent of our sins, and ask for God’s forgiveness.

A reporter for Politico recently committed an act of journalism by calling out Joe Biden for talking to Hollywood celebrities more than he talks to the actual press.
Prior to his big fundraiser in New York City, Biden spoke to actor Jason Bateman on his podcast. Jennifer Haberkorn of Politico noted that it’s the second time that he has appeared with Bateman, which is more than he has spoken to print reporters who cover the White House.
It’s so unusual to see Biden called out in this way by a member of the media.
FOX News reports:
Politico reporter calls Biden out for talking to Hollywood elites more than actual journalists
Politico White House reporter Jennifer Haberkorn criticized President Biden for cavorting around with Hollywood celebrities this week, accusing the politician of being more available to A-listers than he is to members of the press.
Haberkorn ripped Biden on X on Friday morning in response to a piece from The Hill detailing the president’s recent sit-down with actors Jason Bateman, Will Arnett and Sean Hayes on their “SmartLess” podcast. Biden was previously a guest on “SmartLess” on Nov. 3, 2022.
Former Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama joined Biden for the interview that took place before a swanky celebrity-studded Biden campaign fundraiser at Radio City Music Hall in New York City on Thursday night.
The reporter shared an X post with the article and added a comment, stating, “Number of times Jason Bateman has done a sit-down interview with President Biden: 2. Nearly every print reporter who covers the White House: 0.”

It was recently revealed that Jon Stewart is guilty of the same supposed ‘crime’ over over-valuing property that Trump is being prosecuted for by Letitia James.
Of course, Stewart criticized Trump for this despite the fact that he did the same thing. And naturally, Stewart is getting a pass for it.
People have noticed and are now calling out James for her selective prosecution.
Breitbart News reports:
Letitia James Faces Growing Pressure to Prosecute Jon Stewart over Property Overvaluation
New York Attorney General Letitia James is facing mounting pressure to prosecute comedian Jon Stewart after it was revealed that he overvalued his Manhattan home — the same so-called “offense” for which James is prosecuting former President Donald Trump.
Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA), radio host Andrew Wilkow, and Trump attorney Alina Habba are among those calling for “Tish” to show that no one is above the law.
Jon Stewart was recently found to have overvalued his Tribeca duplex by more than 800 percent when he was selling it back in 2014. The embarrassing revelation comes after the comedian used Monday’s episode of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show to claim Trump was “lying” when valuing his own properties.
The double standard is so obvious.
Look forward to Letitia James sending the NYPD to haul Jon Stewart to jail and seize his property.https://t.co/iFW2gsXiAW

Florida has become a solidly red state but the Biden campaign can’t ignore Trump’s massive gains among Latino voters, so this week the Biden campaign did an event to reach out to these voters in Florida.
In a move suggesting that they’re not very serious about this, they sent ‘second gentleman’ Doug Emhoff, husband of Vide President Kamala Harris.
This choice caused some people to think that Biden has already conceded these voters and the state of Florida.
Townhall reported:
Latest Biden Campaign Move Suggests the President Has Given Up on These Voters
Florida Democratic Party Chair Nikki Fried told reporters earlier this week that the state party had “complete confirmation that the Biden campaign, as well as national surrogates and national partners, will be investing dollars here.”
Fried, Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff, and Miami Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava introduced their Hispanic voter outreach plan at a party this week.
However, Miami Herald reporter Fabiola Santiago pointed out that there were no local media or big-name Hispanic celebrities in attendance— which he suggested means that the Democrat Party has accepted the fact that Republicans have the state in the bag.
The reaction was pretty brutal:
Biden campaign/FL Dems botched a Hispanic outreach event
In Miami
— Marc Caputo (@MarcACaputo) March 29, 2024
From Fabiola Santiago’s column:
Sending the Second Gentleman, as charming as he is, means we aren’t an important state. He isn’t a top presidential campaign surrogate in the party like the Obamas and Clintons. He’s not a rising star relevant to Latinos like California Senator Alex Padilla, son of Mexican immigrants and climate change combatant, credited with passage of the POWER On Act to address disasters. Or like eloquent New York congressman Hakeem Jeffries, in line to be speaker of the House if Democrats regain the majority.
Democrats could have brought to town Biden’s education secretary, Miguel Cardona, a respected educator born in Connecticut of Puerto Rican parents. He could’ve eloquently taken on the diminishing value of a Florida education based on GOP political indoctrination, the way the state is alienating instead of embracing minorities, and the appointments of the governor’s cronies to important education posts.
Democrats also could have brought to the launch Biden’s Cuban American Homeland Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas — and pushed back very publicly locally on the sham effort by Republicans, including the Cuban Americans from Miami in Congress, to impeach him.
A brutal but fair assessment.

Topline: A relatively new program in New York State will use $39.5 million of taxpayer funds to match small donations to political campaigns for state offices, expanding them up to 12 times their original value.
Key facts: The Public Campaign Finance Program multiplies campaign contributions of $250 or less. If an individual donates $10 to a legislative candidate, the politician will receive an extra $120 from the government.
Candidates running for governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general or comptroller receive funds at a 6 to 1 ratio.
Politicians running for the state legislature get their donations multiplied between eight and 12 times, depending on the size of the gift.
Only $25 million will be sent to candidates. The remaining $14.5 million is for administrative purposes.
That’s still far less than the $100 million the Public Campaign Finance Board said it needed.
A report from OpenSecrets and the Brennan Center predicts that small donors will now account for 41% of state campaign funds, instead of 6%.
Supporters tout the program as an important step in campaign finance reform because it gives more power to low-income citizens.
Critics argue that similar programs have not significantly changed voter turnout or re-election rates but are vulnerable to fraud.
Background: Thirteen other states already have programs similar to New York’s, as well as some cities like Denver and Washington D.C. Seattle gives voters two free $25 vouchers that they can send to candidates. New York City’s matching funds gives taxpayer-money to candidates running for city office like mayo, city council and comptroller.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul vetoed a change that would have matched donations as large as $12,000.
The only similar federal program to New York’s is one for presidential candidates that hasn’t been used in the general election since John McCain in 2008.
Supporting quote: “Because the program’s match is limited to small contributions from constituents, it will push back on the toxic influence of big money in our politics and uplift the voices of everyday voters,” Joanna Zdanys of the Brennan Center for Justice said in a statement. “It will give candidates a powerful incentive to engage with their own constituents. And it will open pathways for New Yorkers who aren’t wealthy to participate [in] the political process.”
Critical quote: Election attorney Joseph Burns told Fox News that the law will aid progressive candidates more than other politicians, and that in similar programs, the money “ends up just becoming an unnecessary and wasteful taxpayer subsidy of politicians and political campaigns.”
Summary: It remains to be seen whether New York’s new law will help candidates opposed to the political establishment or if it is just another failed program that soaks taxpayers for an ever-expanding bureaucracy.

A Michigan Easter Egg hunt turned violent after a man was stabbed following an argument over egg placement.
The assault took place at Valley View Elementary School in Battle Creek, Michigan last weekend.
Deputies were called to the scene and arrested one man before the children arrived for their event.
FOX News reported:
An Easter egg hunt at a Michigan elementary school went horribly wrong when a fight over the placement of the eggs led to a stabbing, authorities said.
Deputies with the Calhoun County Sheriff’s Office were called Saturday morning to Valley View Elementary school in Battle Creek amid reports of a violent attack, the sheriff’s office said.
They arrived and found a 36-year-old man wielding a knife, authorities said. Investigators said a male and his “partner” female got into an argument over the placement of the eggs.
“When a family member intervened, the male produced a knife, cutting them multiple times,” a sheriff’s office statement said.
Responding deputies convinced the man to drop the knife, and then he was arrested. The victim had some lacerations but was expected to recover.

Happy Easter 2024!
He is Risen!
Matthew 28: 1-7
1 After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.
2 There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. 4 The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.
5 The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6 He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. 7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”
Wishing you and yours a joyous and blessed Easter.
Please pray for the persecuted this Easter, for our country, for our culture, and for our families.
God bless you this Easter Sunday 2023.
Matthew 5:10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Pray for our country.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s foreign ministry issued a statement about the normalization of relations with Israel on February 7. It declared that Saudi Arabia would not establish relations with Israel until the “brotherly Palestinian people obtain their legitimate rights”—the creation and recognition of an independent state with 1967 borders and East Jerusalem as its capital. The statement refined and affirmed comments that Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan made in Davos three weeks earlier.
The announcement leaves Saudi security and interests to chance. The Saudi government is making the realization of relations between two countries, Israel and Saudi Arabia, contingent on the cooperation of a third party, the Palestinians. The need for diplomatic relations between Saud Arabia and Israel grows critical to maintaining security and stability in the Middle East as Iranian aggression escalates and American reliability deteriorates. The longer there are no diplomatic relations, the Saudis become more vulnerable. By conditioning Saudi-Israeli relations, the Kingdom has provided the Palestinians considerable leverage as well as an opportunity to undermine or hold Saudi interests hostage.
The Hamas attacks of October 7 and the subsequent Israeli response froze discussions about Saudi-Israeli diplomatic relations that began during the summer. Realizing relations with Israel is a challenging endeavor for the Kingdom, perceived to be a leader of the Arab and Muslim worlds. Pursuing those relations in the wake of Israel having displaced, maimed, or killed thousands of Palestinians is diplomatic suicide, a public relations nightmare, and a possible source of domestic unrest.
In the short term, the announcement by the Saudi Foreign Ministry is prudent. Calling for a Palestinian state before recognizing Israel demonstrates astuteness. The monarchy reinforces a long-held belief that regional stability begins with a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Defying that belief would be tantamount to abandoning an Arab brother, especially at a critical time of need; the Kingdom’s image in the Arab and Muslim worlds would be tarnished and its leadership questioned.
The announcement also thwarts potential domestic challenges to the monarchy’s rule. The idea of relations with Israel is not popular. According to polling in late 2023, 96 percent of Saudis believe that “Arab countries should immediately break all diplomatic, political, economic, and any other contacts with Israel, in protest against its military action in Gaza.” In the wake of the war, only 17 percent of the Saudis support the establishment of economic ties with Israel.
While the monarchy has attempted to insulate itself from Arab and Muslim criticism and from possible domestic unrest, conditioning relations with Israel on the establishment and recognition of a Palestinian state exposes Saudi Arabia to risks from Iran and the United States.
Each day without Saudi-Israeli diplomatic relations is a day that witnesses the further empowerment and enablement of Iran. Iran strives toward achieving nuclear weapons capabilities. It projects growing power through an array of militias that exacerbate conflicts, wreak havoc on maritime traffic, worsen economies, facilitate corruption, and defy the rule of law.
An ascendant Iran threatens Saudi Arabia and poses regional challenges. An empowered Iran can project its power into Saudi societal dynamics as it has in other Arab countries—by fomenting tension within the Shia community and between the Shia and Sunni communities. An enabled Iran funds and supports hostile actors on Saudi Arabia’s borders (Yemen and Iraq). A nuclear umbrella would provide regime security for Tehran—further empowering and enabling the aforementioned behaviors. A nuclear Iran also puts the region on a path toward nuclear proliferation.
The challenges do not bode well for Saudi Arabia’s security and interests. Domestic opposition and unrest can be galvanized. Saudi citizens and infrastructure can be targeted by drones and missiles from outside the Kingdom.
The challenges also threaten a primary endeavor of Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman, Vision 2030. The Crown Prince’s commitments to diversifying the Kingdom’s economy, making the country a global hub, and modernizing other elements rely on foreign investment, global integration, and visitors. Will foreigners want to visit and invest in a project with a nuclear Iran in the neighborhood, nuclear proliferation on the horizon, and Iranian-supported militias fomenting conflict on its borders and throughout the region? In Yemen, the Houthi movement has demonstrated a penchant for disrupting maritime traffic and the global economy, as well as shooting missiles over and at Saudi Arabia. What is the guarantee that those actions will not happen in the future, especially if Iran is empowered and continues to support the Houthis and pursue regional dominance? Houthi disruption of maritime traffic in the Red Sea and their launching of missiles cannot bode well for the crown jewel of Vision 2030—the Red Sea-situated city of NEOM.
For years, the Saudis have largely relied on the United States for protection. The United States sold the Kingdom large weapons packages. The U.S. has placed and continues to place American soldiers on Saudi soil to assist in defending the Kingdom.
Recently, the Saudi-U.S. relationship has experienced considerable strain and scrutiny. U.S. military involvement in the Middle East is exceptional. Calls endure for shrinking the American military footprint in the region, including in Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, progressive elements in Congress and the Biden administration believe allies should reflect the U.S. in image and likeness. They call on allies like Saudi Arabia to adopt Western values in their societies. The Saudis have not done themselves well in currying favor with these progressive elements, most notably in light of the brutal murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. The Obama and Biden administrations have also attempted to impose their vision for the region—a sharing of it between Saudi Arabia and Iran— to the alarm and displeasure of the Kingdom.
The Biden administration and members of Congress repeatedly take actions and produce messaging that questions both the U.S. commitment to Saudi security and the notion of constraining and containing Iran. The president and his congressional allies employ rhetoric or draft legislation that challenges the Kingdom’s security and questions the monarchy’s legitimacy. Weapons sales to the Kingdom are contested on the hill. The administration and Congress have worked to reduce America’s support of the Saudi-led intervention in Yemen. Biden seeks to resurrect the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), aka the Iran nuclear deal, a deal opposed by Saudi Arabia. The administration also appeases the militias that Iran backs.
The developments are a cause for concern for the monarchy in Riyadh. Current U.S. behavior gives no assurances that the United States will always come to the aid of the Kingdom and challenge Iranian aggression. Furthermore, the Saudis are unable to effectively confront, contest, and contain Iran on their own. The ineffectiveness of the recent Saudi intervention in Yemen highlights the limitations of their military capabilities.
Saudi-Israeli diplomatic relations become critical and necessary for the current state of Saudi affairs. The countries share the same concerns regarding Iran while their relations with the United States are increasingly tenuous. The realization and fulfillment of those concerns require extensive cooperation that can only be achieved through diplomatic relations. Anything less is insufficient.
The Saudis have made quite the wager on their future well-being by placing the creation and recognition of a Palestinian state ahead of Saudi-Israeli relations. They have placed considerable hope in an outcome, an Israeli-Palestinian resolution, that does not appear likely shortly. What makes the situation even riskier for the Saudis is that they are expecting concessions from Palestinians who historically have been unwilling to compromise, lack effective leadership, and have been captured by the maximalist and confrontational thinking supported by Iran and its scions.
The failed talks at Camp David in 2000 are a glaring example of an unwillingness to make the necessary concessions. The actions or lack thereof by Hamas and the Palestinian Authority demonstrate broken, corrupt, and rudderless leadership in the last few months, let alone the last two decades. The fact that 72 percent of Palestinians (in December) believed the October 7 Hamas attacks were correct demonstrates the relative pervasiveness of maximalist and violent thinking celebrated and supported by Iran, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and others.
History also tells us that countries who attempt to accommodate the Palestinian issue have lived to regret it. Lebanon accommodated the Palestinian cause in 1969 only to witness, six years later, its role in the dissolution of the Lebanese state. Lebanon has never been the same.
The Palestinians—and, to a lesser extent, Iran and its scions—can play the role of the spoiler. They have such an incentive. The Palestinians are not a party to bilateral relations and Saudi-Israeli relations would challenge Iran and its allies. What better way to block Saudi-Israeli relations than by refusing to agree to a two-state solution and making further demands. The Palestinians, Iran, and others have the ability to impede a significant Saudi foreign policy objective while undermining Saudi economic diversification and threatening Saudi security.
Iran’s continued development of a nuclear program and pursuit of regional hegemony, combined with a tenuous American relationship, represents serious challenges to Saudi Arabia. Saudi-Israeli diplomatic relations are becoming obvious and urgent. When does waiting on a Palestinian state do more harm than good for Saudi Arabia? Time is not an ally of the gambit the Kingdom announced on February 7.

A spokeswoman for First Lady Dr. Jill Biden, Ed.D., posted a statement Saturday afternoon on (accurate) reports that religious themed Easter Eggs were banned under rules for a White House contest for children of National Guard soldiers, saying the reports are “misleading.”
Elizabeth Alexander, who holds the lengthy job title of White House Deputy Assistant to the President and Communications Director for the First Lady, posted, “*Fyi on all the misleading swirl re White House and Easter: the American Egg Board flyer’s standard non-discrimination language requesting artwork has been used for the last 45 years, across all Dem & Republican Admins—for all WH Easter Egg Rolls —incl previous Administration’s.”
*Fyi on all the misleading swirl re White House and Easter: the American Egg Board flyer’s standard non-discrimination language requesting artwork has been used for the last 45 years, across all Dem & Republican Admins—for all WH Easter Egg Rolls —incl previous Administration’s.

Alexander’s statement is itself misleading, conflating the decades long tradition of the corporate trade group American Egg Board presenting a decorated Easter Egg to the First Lady with the recent children’s Easter Egg contest initiated by Jill Biden in 2021. The rules for the children’s egg contest were chosen by the Biden White House. That they track with the rules for the American Egg Board is the choice of Jill and Joe Biden. Regardless, the rules for the American Egg Board White House Easter Eggs are dictated by the administration.
Deputy White House Press Secretary Andrew Bates chimed in reiterating the White House spin, “Fact check. The only “news” outlet in U.S. history to pay almost $1 billion for lying to their viewers/readers has egg on their faces again. This story is about nonpartisan guidelines that have been in operation for ***45 years***. Including during the last administration.”

A check of previous reports on military children participating in the annual White House Easter Egg Roll do not show any mention of an Easter Egg decorating contest (2009 report and 2016 report).
The flyer for the 2024 children’s contest states it was created in 2021 by the Biden White House. The flyer also states the winning egg designs will be displayed during the religions seasons of Easter and Passover.
As part of the White House Easter traditions, America’s Egg Farmers
– for nearly 50 years – have proudly presented an intricately decorated
Commemorative Easter Egg to the First Lady of the United States. In 2021,
the White House expanded on this longstanding tradition by displaying
youth-designed Easter eggs in the White House East Colonnade.BE PART OF TRADITION: 2024 CALL FOR YOUTH ART
On behalf of First Lady Jill Biden, The Adjutants General of the
National Guard are asking youth from National Guard families across
the United States and all U.S. territories to submit artwork inspired by
the theme ‘Celebrating our Military Families’Children should depict on an egg template (see Art Submission form)
a snapshot of their life – a favorite activity, scenery in your state, your

A WayBackMachine archive of the 2023 rules from the site of the IncredibleEgg.org show the same rules were in force for a contest sponsored by the American Egg Board that would see the child winners’ designs featured in the White House Colonnade. The 2023 contest was open to all legal U.S. residents with who submitted designs by children between the ages of 5 and 18 years old.
“United States of Possibility” Colonnade of Eggs Exhibit to Feature Kid-Designed Eggs
In the spirit of Dr. Biden’s commitment to education, the White House East Colonnade will be transformed into the “United States of Possibility” Colonnade of Eggs exhibit, featuring hand-painted and decorated eggs representing all 50 U.S. states and six territories. In a show of state pride and national unity, children submitted creative egg designs under the theme of “United States of Possibility” that highlight why they love their home state/territory and its contributions to the future of the country, from their state’s natural resources to technological inventions to cultural developments.
The CEO of the American Egg Board told Fox News on Saturday the rules come down from the federal government, specifically the Department of Agriculture (excerpt):
American Egg Board President and CEO Emily Metz represents America’s egg farmers. She told Fox News Digital after publication of this article that for the past 47 years they’ve partnered with the White House. Metz stated, “I think it’s important to know that everything we do from a marketing and promotion standpoint, because we are a check off, we have very strict guidelines under the USDA.”
She added, “We all have to follow kind of guidelines, which essentially, number one, we can’t discriminate against any other commodity…. We can’t go out there and say, ‘hey, pork is awful and we only should only get eggs.’ We have to be very, clear about that. We also can promote one type of egg over the other type of egg. So we have to be, excuse the pun, egg-nostic. And we also, most importantly, can’t discriminate on the basis of race, religion, sex, sexual identity, any of that.”
Metz insisted, “So when we say, can’t be overtly religious, we just can’t be seen to be promoting one religion over the other, the same way we can’t be seen to be promoting one political viewpoint or ideology over the other. We have to be totally neutral in everything we do and have it just be focused on egg promotion and marketing activities. And this is obviously a huge opportunity for us to showcase the incredible eggs in a really fun and unique way.”
The American Egg Board released a promotional photos of the First Lady’s Commemorative Egg Collection and a sample of 2023 children’s contest winners by state (artists bring the winning entries to life):
Year-by-year photos of the First Lady’s eggs can be seen at this link. The photos go back to the first egg presented in 1977 to Rosalynn Carter.

Michigan Congressman Tim Walberg appeared to get somewhat carried away with his rhetoric during a town hall meeting with constituents this week.
The event, which was held at Dundee Village Hall in Michigan, allowed attendees to ask Walberg his view on various hot button issues of the day.
One man said he knew a soldier who was travelling to Gaza to help build a port at the request of the Biden administration as Israel carries out its war against Hamas.
“Why are we spending our money to build a port for them?” the man asked, according to a video posted on the X platform.
“It’s Joe Biden’s reason; we need to get humanitarian aid into Gaza,” Walberg responded. “I don’t think any of our aid that goes to Israel to support our greatest ally, arguably maybe in the world, to defeat Hamas and Iran and Russia, and probably North Korea’s in there, and China, too, with them helping Hamas — we shouldn’t be spending a dime on humanitarian aid.”

The Congressman then brought up the example of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, when the allies dropped two atomic bombs on the Japanese cities, which together killed over 100,000 people.
Although the bombings did bring a swift end to the war with the surrender of the Axis powers, debate over the ethics of the decision is debated to this date.
“It should be like Nagasaki and Hiroshima,” he continued. “Get it over quick. The same should be in Ukraine. Defeat Putin quick.”
In a statement to Detroit News, Walberg’s spokesman Mike Rorke insisted that he “vehemently disagrees with putting our troops in harm’s way.”
Great to be in Jackson and Monroe counties to meet with constituents.

“He has great empathy for the innocent people in Gaza who have been thrust into this situation due to the attack carried out by Hamas leaving 1,163 innocent civilians dead,” Rorke said.
“During his community gathering, [Walberg] clearly uses a metaphor to support Israel’s swift elimination of Hamas, which is the best chance to save lives long-term and the only hope at achieving a permanent peace in the region,” he continued.

Biden declared March 31 to be a holiday honoring transgender people — but this March 31, of course, is Easter.
“NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 31, 2024, as Transgender Day of Visibility,” the White House proclamation declared. “I call upon all Americans to join us in lifting up the lives and voices of transgender people throughout our Nation and to work toward eliminating violence and discrimination based on gender identity.”
Biden, who says he is a “devout” Catholic, has also banned religious artwork from the White House Easter egg competition.
Naturally, the absurd gesture sparked massive outrage from Republicans, including former President Donald Trump.
The Trump campaign issued a statement saying, “It is appalling and insulting that Joe Biden’s White House prohibited children from submitting religious egg designs for their Easter Art Event, and formally proclaimed Easter Sunday as ‘Trans Day of Visibility.’ Sadly, these are just two more examples of the Biden Administration’s years-long assault on the Christian faith. We call on Joe Biden’s failing campaign and White House to issue an apology to the millions of Catholics and Christians across America who believe tomorrow is for one celebration only — the resurrection of Jesus Christ.”
On Saturday evening, the White House responded to the outrage, claiming that it was “cruel” and “hateful.”
White House spokesperson Andrew Bates said in a statement, “As a Christian who celebrates Easter with Family, President Biden stands for bringing people together and upholding the dignity and freedoms of every American.”
“Sadly, it’s unsurprising politicians are seeking to divide and weaken our country with cruel, hateful, and dishonest rhetoric. President Biden will never abuse his faith for political purposes or for profit.”
The statement, of course, did not contain any semblance of an apology.

Pastor Greg Laurie
Greg Laurie, the senior pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship headquartered in Southern California, called out Joe Biden’s blasphemous declaration of ‘Transgender Visibility Day’ on Easter Sunday.
“Devout Catholic” Joe Biden also banned any Christian-themed designs from being submitted to the White House’s Easter-themed art contest.
This is even though Easter is a Christian holiday commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Pastor Greg Laurie blasted Joe Biden for insulting millions of American Christians.
“This is really hard to believe,” Pastor Greg Laurie said in a social media post on Saturday.
“President Biden issued a proclamation recognizing March 31 as Transgender Day of Visibility,” he said. “This is also the date of Easter where we celebrate the fact that Jesus Christ rose from the dead. What is the president thinking?”
Pastor Laurie said Biden’s declaration is a “profound insult” to millions of Americans.
“This is a profound insult to the sincerely held religious beliefs of millions of Americans on our holiest day. America needs God more then ever and yet this is the stance the White House takes,” he said.
The SoCal pastor said it’s time to turn back to God and repent.
“It’s time to turn back to God not turn our backs on God,” Pastor Laurie said. “We need to repent and pray for a spiritual awakening in America. It is our only hope.”
This is really hard to believe.

FBI agents have been recorded during a home visit to a Stillwater resident, admitting that scrutinizing Americans over their social media activities is a daily operation, Reason.com has confirmed.
Rolla Abdeljawad, an Oklahoma resident, encountered three FBI agents at her doorstep, inquiring about her Facebook posts.
Abdeljawad’s lawyer, Hassan Shibly, took to social media to post a video of the interaction. The video, which surfaced online on Wednesday, portrays a tense exchange.
In the video, Abdeljawad declines to speak with the agents and requests that they show their badges on camera, a request the agents did not fulfill. Abdeljawad later verified with local police that the individuals were indeed FBI agents.
“Facebook gave us a couple of screenshots of your account,” one agent, donned in a gray shirt, informed Abdeljawad.
Challenging the agents, Abdeljawad questioned the principles of free speech, to which a second agent, clothed in a red shirt, responded reassuringly yet revealed the frequency of such interrogations.
“No, we totally do. That’s why we’re not here to arrest you or anything. We do this every day, all day long. It’s just an effort to keep everybody safe and make sure nobody has any ill will.”
Shibly expressed his concern, noting that this was the first instance he was aware of where Facebook’s parent company, Meta, might have preemptively reported posts to law enforcement.
The specific posts that drew the FBI’s attention are not clear, but Abdeljawad has recently expressed strong views on the conflict in Gaza, including inflammatory statements against Israel.
Abdeljawad’s Facebook timeline, which is public, has been filled with posts expressing her frustration with the situation in Gaza, using harsh language against Israel. Despite the nature of her posts, none explicitly called for violence.
Shibly wrote on Twitter:
WATCH: FBI visit the home of an American Muslim Woman’s home to question her about her pro-Palestine social media posts after they were flagged by Meta’s Facebook!
What she did right:
1. Refuse to speak to them without a lawyer.
2. Refuse to let them in her house.
3. Record the interaction.What she did wrong:
1. Exit her house. Do not let them in your house if they do not have a warrant but do not exit your house either.You have the right never to speak to the FBI without a lawyer.

Following the visit, Abdeljawad took to Facebook to suggest that the approach by the FBI seemed more like a “fishing expedition” than a specific investigation. She emphasized her role as a Muslim to protect creation and stand for what she believes is right.
“Rather, it seems like a fishing expedition,” she wrote. “I do not fear them. My only concern as, I told the cop is that, someone in my state will do something or that they would and then use my posts in a malicious attempt to ‘smear’ me. Just *remember, I am a Muslim, an obligated protector of creation. I enjoin what is good and forbid what is wrong,” Abdeljawad wrote.
In a statement to Fox News and Reason, FBI’s Oklahoma City office spokeswoman, Kayla McCleery, asserted the FBI’s commitment to protecting Americans and upholding the Constitution, clarifying that investigations do not stem solely from First Amendment-protected activities.
“Every day, the FBI engages with members of the public in furtherance of our mission, which is to protect the American people and uphold the Constitution of the United States. We can never open an investigation based solely on First Amendment protected activity. The FBI is committed to ensuring our activities are conducted with a valid law enforcement or national security purpose, and uphold the constitutional rights of all Americans.”
Meta’s policy allows for data to be shared with U.S. law enforcement under specific legal circumstances.
“Meta responds to government requests for data in accordance with applicable law and our terms of service. Each and every request we receive is carefully reviewed for legal sufficiency and we may reject or require greater specificity on requests that appear overly broad or vague. The charts below provide data on the number of requests we received, the number of users/accounts requested, and the rate we complied with all or some of the government’s request,” according to its website.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that a leading opponent of the new China-owned corn mill in North Dakota received a home visit from local police and FBI agents after posting a paragraph from the Declaration of Independence on Facebook.
Here is what Jodi Carlson posted on Facebook that warranted a visit by the Stasi FBI.
“We have petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. When a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Depotism (oppressive absolute power), it is our right, OUR DUTY, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for our future Security.” (The word “their” (the people) replaced with “our”).”
On Friday, The Gateway Pundit also reported that the FBI visited a woman on February 22 and her family in Louisiana who had used social media to expose a man who allegedly ‘dumped her cousin’s body like trash’ and was released on probation.
“Basically the tweet about my cousins killer went viral. 8.3 million views. Elon Musk even put a ! Under it. The FBI agent went to my family in Louisiana. My family thought they were there to help since the monster only got probation after all he’s done. They were there about my tweet,” Kristin Martin told The Gateway Pundit.
“They wanted to see if I or anyone they know could have sent in a threat to judges. That was exactly the same reason they gave me for coming to my house,” she added.

The “Biden-Mart” website features an interactive checklist where users can “check off the items…to compile your weekly grocery list and see how much more expensive your bill has become under Joe Biden.”
“Putting food on the table has become harder than ever thanks to ‘Bidenomics,'” the website explains. “As costs for everyday items continue to rise, American families are struggling more and more to foot the bill.”
For example, under Trump, a two-pound pack of ground beef, five pounds of potatoes, a gallon of milk, a dozen eggs, and a pound of coffee was $17.32.
The same grocery order is now averaging $26.05 under Biden.
The New York Post reports, “Biden-Mart uses data from the United States Department of Agriculture data to compare the prices from January 2021 — when Trump left office — with January 2024.”
“The latest Consumer Price Index reading rose a higher-than-expected 3.2% in February, following a stiff 3.1% advance in January,” the report added.

Officer Jonathan E. Diller was laid to rest on Saturday after being shot and killed by a career criminal in New York City with 21 previous arrests and nine felony charges.
Thousands of police officers from across the country came to honor Officer Diller in a procession that stretched for blocks.
The priest that married Officer Diller and his wife Stephanie shared the beautiful and moving moment President Trump prayed with the family during the wake.

Former President Trump prayed the Lord’s Prayer with the grieving family of Jonathan Diller at the slain NYPD detective’s wake Thursday — and was cheered on by the cop’s son, the ceremony celebrant recalled.
“It was just such a beautiful human, simple moment that meant so much to the family and so much to the people in that room,” Rev. Michael Duffy told Human Interest outside of Diller’s funeral Saturday.
“I was able to just say, ‘Mr. President, thank you for being here. Thank you for your goodness to this family. Would you be willing to pray with us?’” Duffy recalled.
“And he said, ‘Of course, Father Duffy.’”
Trump then joined the entire room in reciting the Lord’s Prayer, which asks for God’s forgiveness and protection against Satan.
Father Duffy added, “Then the President so beautifully turned and kissed baby Ryan on the forehead. And the baby clapped at the president. It just broke the tension.”
It was reported that President Trump gave a generous donation to Tunnel to Towers, the foundation that paid off the Diller family’s mortgage.
While President Trump was warmly welcomed by Diller’s family and friends, the far-left New York politicians who created the environment for this strategy were roundly rejected from the solemn event.
Radical leftist New York Governor Kathy Hochul was booted from the wake following a confrontation to choruses of “Get Her Outta Here!”
Mayor Eric Adams and DA Alvin Bragg were both confronted directly, this time by officer Diller’s wife where she shared the same message as with Hochul,“His blood is on your hands.”

Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, the former Apostolic Nuncio to the United States, has publicly criticized Joe Biden’s recent proclamation designating March 31 as “Transgender Visibility Day,” especially noting its coincidence with Easter this year, calling it as “unprecedented and scandalous.”
Viganò, known for his vocal stance on issues concerning Catholic doctrine and morality, expressed his disapproval in a statement released early this morning.
Drawing upon the etymological roots of the word “Apocalypse,” Viganò interprets the current sociopolitical climate as a stark revelation of the battle between good and evil. He sees the proclamation as a direct affront to divine law and a source of grave offense to believers worldwide.
The Archbishop did not mince words as he called into question Biden’s legitimacy, citing “fraudulent and manipulative action” in the 2020 Presidential Election.
He further urged American citizens and government representatives to acknowledge the “total unworthiness” of Joe Biden to hold office.
Read his full statement below:
The word Apocalipse, in Greek, means unveiling, revelation. This revelation, in Sacred Scripture, concerns first and foremost the objective reality of Good and Evil, that is, the collective awareness of the ongoing war between God and Satan, between the children of Light and the children of darkness.
The unprecedented and scandalous proclamation of March 31 as “Transgender Visibility Day” by self-styled U.S. President Joe Biden — who dares to declare himself a Catholic — constitutes a most serious offense to God and to millions of Catholics and Christians in America and around the world, before which it is impossible not to react with due firmness.
I urge American citizens and their representatives in government to recognize the total unworthiness of Joe Biden to hold an institutional position, which it is well known that he used fraudulent and manipulative action to achieve in the 2020 Presidential Election. I ask my Brethren in the Episcopate and priests to recognize that Joe Biden has incurred latæ sententiæ excommunication, and as such must be expelled from the churches and not admitted to Communion. I call on Catholics and all Christians to pray that, on this solemn Easter Day, the Risen Lord will have mercy on the United States of America and put an end to the onslaught of the infernal forces unleashed today more than ever before.
All humanity is awakening from a slumber that has lasted far too long:
-the lives of the innocent are threatened by abortion, euthanasia, manipulation, and abuse;
-the health of citizens is deliberately compromised by experimental serums revealed to be a biological weapon of population decimation;
-the total moral corruption of the top echelons of civil authority, enslaved to criminal lobbies in a global coup is now evident;
-the increasingly arrogant display of Satan worship by the media and the world of culture and entertainment show us a world awash in execrable perversions that cry out to Heaven for vengeance;
-the mad provocation of a world conflict claims lives in order to bury the horrendous sexual and financial scandals of a power that is now the enemy of its citizens.
Luciferian hatred of God and our Lord Jesus Christ can no longer be hidden or denied. This is the revelation unveiled before us, which the servants of darkness provocatively mock by celebrating perversions and vices on the very holy Day when we honor the Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Christians are progressively banished from civil society and considered a threat to the subversive project of the New World Order, while a minority of the vicious and perverted claim to erect their deviations as the universal norm. Here is the “visibility” of Biden and the woke ideology, celebrating a macabre mad dance to the abyss.
Arise, children of Light: stand up and raise your voices, for in the face of these crimes silence becomes complicity. Arise, Christians: rise up to avert the scourges that loom over the nations because of usurped and perverted power. God calls you to be His witnesses, to fight for Good, and to denounce the conspiracy of an authority openly subservient to Satan.
May the Risen Christ, triumphant over death and sin, inflame you with faith, charity, and holy courage at this crucial stage of Human History. Surrexit Dominus vere: alleluia, alleluia!

Talk show host Tucker Carlson has demanded that doctors apologize for recommending the dodgy COVID-19 vaccine.
During an appearance on The Jimmy Dore Show, Carlson called on the tens of thousands of doctors who pushed the jab and other COVID related lies to apologize and admit they were wrong:
I think what’s so interesting is that doctors who clearly can read, I mean they’re literate by definition, they’re not stupid by definition, you hope, I think that’s true, they’re smart. Look at the evidence and fundamentally everything they said about the vax and it has hurt a lot of people. And some doctors, the three that you mentioned, and they’re great, but there are tens of thousands of doctors in the United States and why aren’t they standing up and saying oh my gosh I’m so sorry, I can’t believe I recommended it.
Carlson went on to admit that he supported the Iraq War but that he realized he was wrong to do so and has regretted it ever since:
I mean I endorsed the Iraq War in 2003 and at the end of 2003 I realized I was wrong and I have felt bad about it for 20 years. In fact it was 20 years ago this week that I went to Iraq and I felt bad about it ever since then and every opportunity I have apologized. Not to please other people but to maintain my dignity and self-respect, I mean that is a pre-requisite if you hurt someone unintentionally you have to say I’m sorry. And I can’t believe that 99 percent of American doctors won’t do that. I’m not going to them, by the way. I would never go to a doctor who was still lying about COVID because that is a dangerous and immoral person.

Despite Tucker’s pleas, the majority of the medical industry are still insisting that the vaccine is both safe and effective and urging people to take booster shots.
Last month, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has downgraded the severity of COVID to the same status as the flu, calling for a “unified approach” to treating such conditions.
“However, we still must use the commonsense solutions we know work to protect ourselves and others from serious illness from respiratory viruses—this includes vaccination, treatment, and staying home when we get sick,” said CDC Director Dr. Mandy Cohen at the time.

In what is being touted as the most aggressive move yet against transportation sector emissions, the Biden regime unveiled a sweeping set of emissions standards for heavy-duty vehicles on Friday.
The new rule, issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), enforces progressively tighter restrictions on a broad range of heavy-duty vehicles, including everything from city buses to interstate freight haulers, starting with the model year 2027 and extending through 2032.
“I’m so proud to announce that EPA is finalizing the strongest national greenhouse gas standards for heavy-duty vehicles in history,” said Environmental Protection Agency administrator Michael Regan.
“In finalizing these emissions standards for heavy-duty vehicles like trucks and buses, EPA is significantly cutting pollution from the hardest-working vehicles on the road,” Regan added.
“Building on our recently finalized rule for light- and medium-duty vehicles, EPA’s strong and durable vehicle standards respond to the urgency of the climate crisis by making deep cuts in emissions from the transportation sector.”
EPA released the following announcement:
On March 29, 2024, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced a final rule, “Greenhouse Gas Emissions Standards for Heavy-Duty Vehicles – Phase 3,” that sets stronger standards to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from heavy-duty (HD) vehicles beginning in model year (MY) 2027. The new standards will be applicable to HD vocational vehicles (such as delivery trucks, refuse haulers, public utility trucks, transit, shuttle, school buses, etc.) and tractors (such as day cabs and sleeper cabs on tractor-trailer trucks).
The final “Phase 3” standards build on EPA’s Heavy-Duty Phase 2 program from 2016 and maintain that program’s flexible structure, which is designed to reflect the diverse nature of the heavy-duty vehicle industry. The standards are technology-neutral and performance-based, allowing each manufacturer to choose what set of emissions control technologies is best suited for them and the needs of their customers.
Key stakeholders in the trucking industry, such as Trucking.org have voiced significant concerns. According to the American Trucking Associations (ATA), the newly announced emission standards set unachievable targets that could undermine the efficiency of the U.S. supply chain and freight movement.
ATA President and CEO Chris Spear criticized the rule for its overly ambitious post-2030 targets.
Trucking.org released the following statement:
The trucking industry says new emission standards for heavy-duty trucks announced today by the Biden Administration have unachievable targets and will carry real consequences for the U.S. supply chain and movement of freight throughout the economy.
“ATA opposes this rule in its current form because the post-2030 targets remain entirely unachievable given the current state of zero-emission technology, the lack of charging infrastructure and restrictions on the power grid,” said ATA President and CEO Chris Spear. “Given the wide range of operations required of our industry to keep the economy running, a successful emission regulation must be technology neutral and cannot be one-size-fits-all. Any regulation that fails to account for the operational realities of trucking will set the industry and America’s supply chain up for failure.”
While EPA’s final rule includes lower zero-emission vehicle rates for model years 2027-2029, ATA says forced zero-emission vehicle penetration rates in the later years will drive only battery-electric and hydrogen investment, limiting fleets’ choices with early-stage technology that is still unproven.
“The trucking industry is fully committed to the road to zero emissions, but the path to get there must be paved with commonsense,” Spear said. “While we are disappointed with today’s rule, we will continue to work with EPA to address its shortcomings and advance emission-reduction targets and timelines that are both realistic and durable.”
A recent study commissioned by the Clean Freight Coalition highlighted the significant infrastructure investment needs to electrify the nation’s medium- and heavy-duty vehicle fleet, and a recent report from the American Transportation Research Institute identified the many challenges facing commercial-vehicle electrification in the areas of U.S. electricity supply and demand, electric vehicle production and truck charging requirements.
This action echoes last week’s stringent measures for new passenger vehicles and light trucks.
CBS reported:
The Biden administration announced new tailpipe emission standards for new passenger cars that aim to cut over 7 billion tons of carbon emissions, as well as other harmful air pollutants.
The standards will apply to new passenger cars and light-duty trucks, beginning with model year 2027 through 2032.
The Environmental Protection Agency, in announcing the tougher standards, said the reduction of carbon emissions and other harmful air pollutants will help prevent premature deaths and reduce heart attacks, respiratory and cardiovascular illness, as well as asthma.
“Three years ago, I set an ambitious target: that half of all new cars and trucks sold in 2030 would be zero-emission,” said President Biden in a statement. “Today, we’re setting new pollution standards for cars and trucks.”
However, the new standards also ease a draft rule by the EPA that would have required car companies to rely on all-electric vehicles as the sole solution to meet pollution targets. After months of talks with the auto industry and its workers, the EPA shifted to a strategy that would include a range of vehicles, including plug-in hybrid, hybrid and advanced gasoline vehicles to reach emission goals.

After spending Saturday afternoon and evening pushing back against criticism over Joe Biden declaring this Easter Sunday ‘Transgender Day of Visibility’, the White House released an official statement from Biden Sunday morning about Easter. Biden also posted about Easter several times on social media. None of Biden’s statements addressed concerns about the controversies regarding his transgender proclamation nor the banning of religious themes in the White House Easter Egg contest for children of National Guard members.

In contrast to Biden’s brief statements on Easter, here is the full text of the lengthy Transgender Day of Visibility proclamation Joe Biden issued on Good Friday:
A Proclamation on Transgender Day of Visibility, 2024
On Transgender Day of Visibility, we honor the extraordinary courage and contributions of transgender Americans and reaffirm our Nation’s commitment to forming a more perfect Union — where all people are created equal and treated equally throughout their lives.
I am proud that my Administration has stood for justice from the start, working to ensure that the LGBTQI+ community can live openly, in safety, with dignity and respect. I am proud to have appointed transgender leaders to my Administration and to have ended the ban on transgender Americans serving openly in our military. I am proud to have signed historic Executive Orders that strengthen civil rights protections in housing, employment, health care, education, the justice system, and more. I am proud to have signed the Respect for Marriage Act into law, ensuring that every American can marry the person they love.
Transgender Americans are part of the fabric of our Nation. Whether serving their communities or in the military, raising families or running businesses, they help America thrive. They deserve, and are entitled to, the same rights and freedoms as every other American, including the most fundamental freedom to be their true selves. But extremists are proposing hundreds of hateful laws that target and terrify transgender kids and their families — silencing teachers; banning books; and even threatening parents, doctors, and nurses with prison for helping parents get care for their children. These bills attack our most basic American values: the freedom to be yourself, the freedom to make your own health care decisions, and even the right to raise your own child. It is no surprise that the bullying and discrimination that transgender Americans face is worsening our Nation’s mental health crisis, leading half of transgender youth to consider suicide in the past year. At the same time, an epidemic of violence against transgender women and girls, especially women and girls of color, continues to take too many lives. Let me be clear: All of these attacks are un-American and must end. No one should have to be brave just to be themselves.
At the same time, my Administration is working to stop the bullying and harassment of transgender children and their families. The Department of Justice has taken action to push back against extreme and un-American State laws targeting transgender youth and their families and the Department of Justice is partnering with law enforcement and community groups to combat hate and violence. My Administration is also providing dedicated emergency mental health support through our nationwide suicide and crisis lifeline — any LGBTQI+ young person in need can call “988” and press “3” to speak with a counselor trained to support them. We are making public services more accessible for transgender Americans, including with more inclusive passports and easier access to Social Security benefits. There is much more to do. I continue to call on the Congress to pass the Equality Act, to codify civil rights protections for all LGBTQI+ Americans.
Today, we send a message to all transgender Americans: You are loved. You are heard. You are understood. You belong. You are America, and my entire Administration and I have your back.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim March 31, 2024, as Transgender Day of Visibility. I call upon all Americans to join us in lifting up the lives and voices of transgender people throughout our Nation and to work toward eliminating violence and discrimination based on gender identity.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty-ninth day of March, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-four, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-eighth.
JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR.
Last year Biden hung the transgender flag in a place of honor on the White House:
Transgender Day of Visibility was invented by an activist in 2009 who set the date of the annual observance for March 31. It is not a federally mandated day of observance such as Vietnam Veterans Day set on March 29 which was signed into law by President Trump in 2017 and was observed on Friday. Biden and other Democrat officials like New York Gov. Kathy Hochul knowingly chose to promote the radical transgender agenda on Easter Sunday.
UPDATE: The White House account also posted on Easter Sunday afternoon, “Transgender Americans are part of the fabric of our nation. On Transgender Day of Visibility, our Administration honors the extraordinary courage of transgender Americans and reaffirms our commitment to forming a more perfect union – where all people are treated equally.”

Globalist Pope Francis has moved the Catholic Church closer and closer to radical leftwing ideology during his papacy.
Tucker Carlson recently interviewed theologian and author of the book The Power of Truth, Cardinal Gerhard Müller to discuss the state of the Catholic Church today.
Tucker shared, “Cardinal Gerhard Müller is one of the most important and prolific Catholic theologians alive today. In fact, he was the head at one point of the Vatican’s doctrinal office. He was ousted from his job several years ago, but he has continued to write and think about what is happening within the Catholic Church and within Christianity globally. He’s the author of the book The Power of Truth, and we are honored to have him join us today.”
Tucker: From the outside looking in. And I am, as I said on the outside, I am not a Catholic, but as an observer of the Catholic Church, the leadership of the Church seems to have changed quite a bit under the current Pope and does seem much more aligned with a global political movement with progressive politics than at any time in the past. Do you think that that’s true?
Cardinal Müller: It’s also in the history where they look 2000 years back. This was not the best, times at epochs when the popes or the bishop was too closed to to the politics and, the Middle Ages, this was this understanding of the prince bishops. And so but I think that it’s not the that what Jesus wanted since he sent the apostles like sheep and wolves, and in this world without, political power at all, only with the power and of the word of God and the power of the grace of God, only God can change the heart of the people. And with the word of God, with the holy sacraments, with liturgy services, with a Christian education, with the Christian life, we can convince the people to live a moral life and not to abuse the political power.
And I, surely the Pope is a moral authority all over the world, and he has some meetings with this so-called elite or the politicians, the leaders of the state.
But I think it’s more important to admonish them. And to say what is right and what is good and what is bad.
And therefore, men must keep a certain distance for the political leadership, and we must give a big contrast to the wrong ideologies which are behind the ideology of power. The ideology, of, denying of the difference between men and women. Wrong understanding of sexuality, of human anthropology. And therefore we have the better answer for all these, challenge challenges. It’s challengings of today.
And I think, it’s not so good to give this people the impression they could, use and abuse the papal authority for their ideas, so-called new world order.
And agenda 2030. I think, no one, nobody is able to make a new world order only with money and with, political powers, the so-called self-appointed elite. They have not the intellectual and moral instruments for reshaping the world. They are only interested in their, money making. And if this people, in the first, places in the Forbes list, that will not say that they are have a special qualification for running the world.
Tucker: Thank you for saying that I, just because you’re rich doesn’t mean you’re qualified to run the world. I think is what you’re saying.
Cardinal Müller: Jesus said it. It’s not my own personal opinion. Jesus said little bit in distance to the only… these people are not. Why? Because they are righteous. Not to problem to become, in a good state. We wish it for everybody. That he has a good, position in, this world. Not suffering, hunger or anything you want is able to give a good education for their children.
But, we are in a certain distance. So these people are thinking because we are rich we have more importance than the normal people of the middle classes.
And we can make, description and we can say what they have to think, what they, how they have to speak, what vocabulary they use, what they have to eat, and all this, temptation for these people to manipulate the world. That is against our culture, and the democratic culture.
America must be as a leadership in democracy for the free world, but with the moral renewal. Also, the United States is especially in need, a moral renewal, and not only a power struggle for the power, for the own power, but also a moral renewal against drugs, against all this abuse of minors and all this wrong things of self self-destruction and the change of your sexes and genders, is absolutely stupid because God made an error when he and he you that he created you or me or everybody as men or women in our personal individual body. And that is what is that is a gift to be born as a man or as as a woman, because all the possibilities for later for the marriage and to become fathers and mothers, to live and in the family.
And therefore it is very important to teach the young people of the importance of their existence. Everybody is loved by God, and everybody is loved in his situation, in his condition, as man, as male female condition, or in whatever condition he is born in Asia and Africa or America, Europe, everybody has the same closeness, it is the same closeness, friendship to God. And that is a so highest criteria for us, our personal relation to the personal triune God.

Scientists expect trillions of Cicadas to invade the United States for the first time In 221 years.
At the end of April, trillions of Cicadas are expected to emerge from the ground and swarm across 17 states in a massive mating frenzy.
Live Science reported, “The rare double cicada brood will include the two of the largest cicada broods, Brood XIII and XIX, which will co-emerge en mass after having lived underground for 17 and 13 years.”
The last time a massive periodical brood occurred was in 1803, when Thomas Jefferson was President.
The rare mating frenzy won’t happen again until 2244.

Per The Sun:
TRILLIONS of cicadas are set to invade the United States for the first time in 221 years, scientists say.
In late April, two large broods of periodical cicadas are expected to emerge from the ground for a noisy mating frenzy.
“Billions, even trillions, of cicadas are going to emerge at the same time across 17 states,” Chris Simon, a professor in UConn’s Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, told Live Science.
Brood XIII and XIX have been living underground for 17 and 13 years respectively.
An event like this hasn’t occurred since 1803 when Thomas Jefferson was president and it’s not expected to happen again until 2244.
there’s an overlap this year in the 13- & 17-year cicada broods, which happens once every 221 years. there will be billions of noisy cicadas <everywhere> for weeks, then trillions of ants to eat their corpses. it will probably bring an unholy stench.

Kamala Harris doubled down after Joe Biden’s blasphemous declaration of ‘Transgender Visibility Day’ on Easter Sunday.
“Devout Catholic” Joe Biden also banned any Christian-themed designs from being submitted to the White House’s Easter-themed art contest.
This is even though Easter is a Christian holiday commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Kamala Harris on Sunday begrudgingly fired off a ‘happy Easter’ message – but it was a huge miss.
Of course, Harris didn’t mention Christians or Jesus Christ.
“On Easter Sunday, we are celebrating hope and faith in renewal,” Harris said on X. “Wishing everyone a happy Easter.”

Kamala Harris had more to say about the Regime’s blasphemous ‘Transgender Day of Visibility.’
She had a longer message to the trans community on Easter Sunday.
“On Transgender Day of Visibility, we celebrate transgender and nonbinary Americans. Their courage has given countless others strength, but no one should have to be brave just to be themselves,” Harris said on Easter Sunday.
“We see you. We stand with you. We won’t stop fighting for you,” she said.

Five doctors and medical staff are under investigation after a student died following her Covid vaccination.
Is accountability happening after all?
The Italian public prosecutor put five doctors and medical staff under investigation after an 18 year old girl died after receiving the AstraZeneca covid vaccine.
The student went to an “open day” event near Genoa in Italy on the 25th of May where she got vaccinated. She died shortly afterwards on the 18th of June in 2021.
In the autopsy they found that she did not have any previous medical conditions and she had not taken any medication. They concluded that it was likely that she died from blood clots as a result of getting the covid vaccine.
And now the doctors are under investigation.
Her death sparked outrage in Italy because it was already well known by then that the AstraZeneca covid vaccine could cause blood clots, yet she got the shot anyway.
Already in March, Italy had stopped the AstraZeneca vaccines over concerns of blood clotting side effects, but they resumed the use of them in May with the recommendation that is “preferably” should be used for people aged over 60.
But, the government in Italy at the time was pushing to get as many people vaccinated as possible.
So some Italian regions had so called “open day” events where they gave the AstraZeneca vaccine to anyone over 18, which is where this girl got her shot and later died.
The reason that they held these events might shock you.
It was aimed at preventing AstraZeneca doses from going to waste after many people very understandably cancelled their vaccination appointments after reports of the blood clot side effects came out.
Was it all about the money?
So let’s summarize what happened.
It is clear that the whole covid circus with the vaccines was a lie. We were told these shots were safe and effective, but they were neither safe nor effective. People died.
Will we finally begin to see some accountability now?

Biden wrote that “transgender Americans are part of the fabric of our Nation.”
However, Caitlyn Jenner, a former Olympic decathlete and reality TV star who is also transgender, took to social media to express his dismay at the President’s decision to overlap this observance with Easter.
Jenner, criticizing Biden’s actions, pointed out the significance of Easter to Christians around the world.
“I am absolutely disgusted that Joe Biden has declared the most Holy of Holy days – a self-proclaimed devout Catholic – as Transgender Day of Visibility. The only thing you should be declaring on this day is ‘HE is Risen,'” he wrote.

Jenner’s critique extends to White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre, whom Jenner chastised for defending the proclamation.
“Hey there…it’s called Easter Sunday. The Holiest Day in the Christian faith that BILLIONS of people practice worldwide,” he wrote.

Ladder Co. 11 in the East Village was told to remove its “red line” American flag after a neighborhood resident complained it was “fascist” and a local politician questioned whether it was a “politically charged symbol.”
Ladder Co. 11 lost six brothers killed on 9/11 and the flag is to remember and honor the fallen.
According to The New York Post, a man claiming to be from Democratic Manhattan Councilwoman Carlina Rivera’s office, approached the firehouse and said councilwoman’s office “complained” to the FDNY three days earlier about the flag.
He then called it a “fascist symbol” and demanded to know why it had not been removed.
In a March 19 email to FDNY Intergovernmental Affairs Coordinator Madison Hernandez, Rivera staffer Lisander Rosario said the councilwoman’s office was contacted by the “constituent” twice about the ladder company’s flag and asked if it’s violating department rules.
“[FDNY staff] claimed it was to honor deceased firefighters, however, [the constituent] brought up that they could’ve used an FDNY flag rather than a politically charged symbol,” Rosario wrote.
“It is to both his and our understanding that private political symbols aren’t permitted to be displayed on public vehicles.”
“Can you confirm if there are any violating flags/symbols on Ladder 11?” added the email, which was obtained by The Post.
Hours after the “constituent” left the firehouse, FDNY Deputy Chief Joseph Schiralli visited firefighters there and reluctantly said the flag must come off the fire truck because it violated a department prohibition of “altered” versions of the American flag.

After intense public backlash, Laura Commissioner Kavanagh and Chief of Department John Hodgens reversed the decision.
Councilwoman Rivera insisted to The Post that her office never contacted Ladder Co. 11 about the issue and the initial complainant came from a constituent, not a staffer.

Wilton Cardinal Gregory, the Washington Archdiocese, was on CBS’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday morning to discuss the Catholic faith.
In particular, he commented on Joe Biden’s faith and tried to explain how he sees his Catholic faith.
“I would say that he’s very sincere about his faith. But like a number of Catholics, he picks and chooses dimensions of the faith to highlight while ignoring or even contradicting other parts. There is a phrase that we have used in the past, a ‘cafeteria Catholic’ — you choose that which is attractive, and dismiss that which is challenging,” the Archbishop said.

Perhaps Cardinal Gregory had a point when he referred to “ignoring or even contradicting other parts.”
Biden insulted millions of Christians when he declared “Transgender Visibility Day” which falls on Easter this year.

So on the holiest day of the Christian faith, Biden was focused on transgender “dignity” than on what Easter actually is, the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
To add even more insults to Christians and Americans, Joe Biden banned Christian themed artwork for the White House Easter art contest.
A flyer for the event actually said no “overtly religious themes” allowed among other burdensome rules.
This was a contest for children which goes to show that the Biden regime will do anything to ruin a fun event.

This is CNN.
CNN promoted a blasphemous Easter Sunday message from Christina Cleveland, a ‘theologian’ who claims ‘God is a black woman.’
“When I see the Easter story, I see Jesus being a victim of state-sanctioned violence. I see Jesus surrounded by Black and brown people who wish they could do something, but had no power in the moment,” said Christina Cleveland, author of “God Is a Black Woman.”
“And I see people being victims of a system that can’t see their full humanity and assumes the worst of them. And yet there’s hope in the end,” she said. “The universe does bend toward justice, even though the arc is long.”
“Christina Cleveland spent much of her childhood in an evangelical church surrounded by traditional images of a porcelain-skinned and flaxen-haired Jesus. But one day she came across a portrayal of Christ that was so astonishing that she gasped,” CNN wrote in an article titled, “Was Jesus a man of color? Why this question matters more than ever.”
“It was a painting of a resurrected Jesus surrounded by his awe-struck disciples, including “Doubting Thomas” touching the wound in Christ’s torso. The painting looked like an ancient relic discovered in some long-forgotten desert monastery in the Holy Land, a Byzantine-styled fresco filled with sharply contoured figures, bursting with colors of deep blue and blood orange,” CNN said.
“But it was another color in the picture that caught her eye. Jesus was depicted as a man of color — somewhere between brown and Black — and so were his disciples. Cleveland, who would go on to become a theologian and social psychologist, realized she had always pictured a Nordic-looking Jesus who looked like Thor. Now she realized that he looked more like her, a Black woman,” the outlet said.
The Biden Regime also declared war on Christians this weekend.
Joe Biden issued a blasphemous declaration of ‘Transgender Visibility Day’ on Easter Sunday.
“Devout Catholic” Joe Biden also banned any Christian-themed designs from being submitted to the White House’s Easter-themed art contest.

AT&T has confirmed that a data set containing AT&T-specific information was leaked on the dark web around two weeks ago.
The communications giant is currently investigating to pinpoint whether the data originated directly from AT&T or through one of their vendors.
This data set notably includes sensitive personal details such as social security numbers, though the exact source remains under review.
Following the discovery, AT&T has initiated a comprehensive probe, marshaling both in-house and third-party cybersecurity experts. Preliminary findings suggest that the compromised data dates back to 2019 or earlier.
The breach potentially affects approximately 7.6 million current and around 65.4 million former AT&T account holders.
Despite the severity of the incident, AT&T has stated there is no evidence to suggest an unauthorized breach of their systems leading to the leak.
The company has taken preemptive steps, proactively reaching out to affected parties and is offering complimentary credit monitoring services. AT&T is urging both current and former customers to visit their dedicated web page at www.att.com/accountsafety for further information.
Moreover, AT&T has issued an additional notice clarifying the nature of the exposed data. The leak seems to include customer passcodes, names, email addresses, residential addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, and Social Security numbers. In response, AT&T has reset the passcodes for the 7.6 million current account holders who were affected.
“It has come to our attention that a number of AT&T passcodes have been compromised. We are reaching out to all 7.6M impacted customers and have reset their passcodes. In addition, we will be communicating with current and former account holders with compromised sensitive personal information,” according to the statement.
“Our internal teams are working with external cybersecurity experts to analyze the situation. To the best of our knowledge, the compromised data appears to be from 2019 or earlier and does not contain personal financial information or call history.”
“We encourage customers to remain vigilant by monitoring account activity and credit reports. You can set up free fraud alerts from nationwide credit bureaus — Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. You can also request and review your free credit report at any time via Freecreditreport.com,” the statement added.
In February, The Gateway Pundit reported tens of thousands of cell phone users experienced outages Thursday morning for their home phone, internet, and mobile phone services, which sparked fears of a possible cyber attack.
AT&T said they have identified what caused the shocking outage for over 73,000 Americans as footage has emerged showing helpless AT&T store workers being harassed by angry customers.
The company announced in a statement that the outage was not a cyberattack but an unspecified coding error caused by “the application and execution of an incorrect process used as we were expanding our network.”
The “incorrect process in question” is related to a software update gone awry. Moreover, according to ABC News, the outage was not caused by an external actor.

In his first major public appearance since being diagnosed with cancer, King Charles greeted his supporters.
After the Easter Sunday service in Windsor, where Queen Camilla joined him, the King addressed crowds and greeted supporters with handshakes.
However, an absence was noted as the Prince and Princess of Wales were not in attendance, and Catherine is currently undergoing ongoing cancer treatment.
Despite his diagnosis, the King has managed to fulfill some duties, though in private settings, maintaining his commitment to his royal responsibilities.

The 75-year-old King surprised waiting crowds, who applauded as he greeted them outside St George’s Chapel after the service.
It was a chilly day and he told people: “You’re very brave to stand out here in the cold.”
Many of the crowd wished the couple a happy Easter and told the King to get well soon.
“We’re all rooting for you, we’ve all got your back,” a member of the public told him.
Another man said: “Keep going strong Your Majesty. Keep going strong, never give in.”
For the past few months, Camilla has taken charge of the royal family, increasingly taking trips on her own that were once her husband’s responsibility.
While Prince William continues to work on Earthshot and Homewards, he is reportedly planning to travel less in order to protect his family and maintain a sense of normalcy.
Earlier this week he spoke of his “great sadness” at missing the traditional Maundy Thursday service, which was instead attended by Queen Camilla.
The King attended church in Sandringham in February, shortly after his diagnosis. There, well-wishers gathered as the King walked into the church, which is on his private estate in Norfolk, but were not allowed to enter the grounds which are closed to the public until Easter.
Meanwhile, earlier this month, the Princess of Wales revealed in a video announcement that she is undergoing preventative treatment for cancer.
Catherine had abdominal surgery in January, when it was not known there was any cancer, but subsequent tests found it had been present.

The St. Louis Park Public Schools in Minnesota is in the process of hiring a new assistant superintendent.
They are looking for a candidate who can “actively listen for both spoken and unspoken racial concerns” and “examine the presence and role of ‘Whiteness’ in systems and structures.”
They must also be “open to feedback regarding their own racial blind spots” and “seek multiple racial perspectives” while also “foster joy” and “cultivate a culture of accountability for systemic racial equity transformation.”
St. Louis Park Public Schools, in its job posting for Assistant Superintendent, lists the following applicant requirements:

2. Be an “Antiracist.”
3. Be “racially conscious.” pic.twitter.com/cR9Yf6yosk— Chalkboard Heresy (@CBHeresy) March 27, 2024
Alpha News notes that the position has an annual salary between $134,141 and $201,212 and will have “a significant influence in how the school district operates” as part of the superintendent’s leadership team.
However, the job description indicates that the role will have a very particular focus. The first sentence of the position’s summary says, “the Assistant Superintendent proactively supports the Superintendent to create and communicate anti-racist structures and systems, works to interrupt systems of oppression, and serves as a role model for culturally relevant pedagogy.”
The school district continues its summary of the position by saying the assistant superintendent must be “unwaveringly committed to anti-racist actions and use data to adapt and sustain their efforts towards racial equity to plan, direct, and coordinate action to achieve the mission and strategic objectives.”
As a matter of fact, words such as “anti-racist,” “racial equity,” and other related phrases appear in the job description over a dozen times.

A group of protesters advocating for a cease-fire in Gaza disrupted a solemn Easter Mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral on Saturday evening.
The demonstrators, who earlier had assembled in Times Square for a pro-Palestine rally, entered the iconic church during the Easter Vigil service, chanting “Free, free Palestine” during the liturgy.
The incident occurred during the second reading of the service, as thousands of worshippers gathered to observe one of the most important celebrations in the Christian calendar. Eyewitnesses described a sudden interruption when a small group of individuals began to chant loudly.
The protesters were identified as affiliates of Extinction Rebellion NYC’s Palestinian Solidarity group, The New York Post reported.
They were seen carrying a flag emblazoned with an olive tree and the stark message “SILENCE = DEATH.” The disruption was short-lived as the individuals were promptly escorted out of the cathedral by security.

Daily Mail reported:
Horrified onlookers remained in their pews as the group was led outside. Some rose to their feet, while others pointed cellphones at the ruckus, cameras rolling.
As they were ushered away, heads began to turn as a chant rang out: ‘Free, free Palestine!’
One protestor, identified only as Matthew M., said he believed churches calling for an end to the conflict in Gaza could ‘make a difference.’
‘The United Nations Security Council calling for a ceasefire is a good start, but churches making ceasefire statements is also a part of the solution,’ he said.
Since the start of the war in the Middle East, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has called for peace and decried the mass casualty of civilians.
The Archdiocese of New York has not released an official statement regarding the incident at the time of reporting. The Easter Vigil is traditionally a time of reflection and celebration within the Christian faith, marking the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The intrusion by the pro-Palestine group has reignited debates on the intersection of activism and worship, and the sanctity of religious services.
One Twitter user wrote, “No Christian will do this for Muslim worshippers in their mosque. This is disrespectful and an insult to Christianity.”
Another user commented, “Imagine if Christians walked into a Mosque and held up a pro-Israel banner?”
Another one wrote, “For anyone whose unaware, protesting and high jacking peoples religious holidays will typically make them more against you, than for you. Keep it in public areas, approved for protesting, stop breaking the law.”

Prosecutors in Spain are seeking a prison sentence of two and a half years for a Spanish soccer executive accused of kissing a lesbian player without consent.
Luis Rubiales, who was president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation, briefly kissed player Jenni Hermoso on the lips following his country’s victory in the World Cup Final against England. He has always insisted the kiss was consensual and denied any wrongdoing.
While Hermoso did not seem to be bothered at the time, the issue became a media firestorm and led to Rubiales eventual resignation and banning from soccer related activities for three years.
Yet that was not enough for Hermoso and Spanish prosecutors, who are now charging Rubiales with sexual assault and coercion. They are seeking a two and a half year prison sentence and 50,000 euros in compensation.

Rubiales “grabbed the player’s head with both hands, and surprisingly and without consent or the player’s acceptance, he kissed her on the lips”, the prosecutors wrote, adding that hte incident hadcaused her “anxiety and intense stress” for months afterward.
Prosecutors are also requesting a restraining order preventing Rubiales from coming within 200 metres of Hermoso and from contacting her for the next seven-and-a-half years.
Rubiales was also criticized for grabbing his crotch while celebrating the victory, all while standing next to Spain’s Queen Letizia and her daughter Princess Infanta Sofia.

The Associated Press (AP) is running cover for the rampant inflation experienced under Joe Biden by claiming that falling prices would actually be a bad thing.
In an article by the AP’s economics writer Paul Wiseman, he makes the case that lower prices would be worse for the economy as it is a sign of deflation:
Wouldn’t it be great if prices actually fell — what economists call deflation? Who wouldn’t want to fire up a time machine and return to the days before the economy rocketed out of the pandemic recession and sent prices soaring?
At least prices are now rising more slowly — what’s called disinflation. On Friday, for example, the government said a key price gauge rose 0.3% in February, down from a 0.4% gain in January. And compared with a year earlier, prices were up 2.5%, way down from a peak of 7.1% in mid-2022.
But those incremental improvements are hardly enough to please the public, whose discontent over prices poses a risk to President Joe Biden’s re-election bid.
Wiseman goes on to make the case that prices going back to what they were before Biden took office would have a detrimental impact:
“Most Americans are not just looking for disinflation,’’ Lisa Cook, a member of the Federal Reserve’s Board of Governors, said last year. “They’re looking for deflation. They want these prices to be back where they were before the pandemic.’’
Many economists caution, though, that consumers should be careful what they wish for. Falling prices across the economy would actually be an unhealthy sign.
“There are,’’ the Bank of England warns, “more consequences from falling prices than meets the eye.’’
Deflation is, of course, a well known phenomenon that can have serious negative economic consequences. However, what most Americans probably wish for is that inflation had never been allowed to skyrocket in the first place, instead remaining at a healthy level of between one and two percent.
Despite being a supposedly neutral and fact based news wire, the AP is one of the many media organs of the Biden regime.
Just this week, the AP rushed to politicize the history around Francis Scott Key, the author of the national anthem, following the collapse of the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore. This was presumably done in the hope that it will be renamed as part of the left’s continued assault on American history.

Seven juveniles sustained injuries in a tragic incident outside a mall in downtown Indianapolis on Saturday evening, as reported by law enforcement authorities.
Officers from the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police were conducting routine patrols when they were alerted by the sound of gunfire shortly after 11:30 p.m. Upon arriving quickly, they located the shooting near the Circle Center Mall. Six individuals were found with gunshot wounds when officers arrived.
All victims were aged 12 to 17 at the time of the shooting, according to reports.

Emergency medical services arrived to transport the children to hospitals, and a seventh person, also under the age of 18, arrived at a hospital on their own. One victim is in critical condition and the other six are stable.
Tanya Terry, deputy chief of operations for Indianapolis Metropolitan Police, described the shooting as “deeply concerning.”
“Once again, we have a situation where young people are resolving conflict with firearms, and it has to stop,” Terry said.
Terry told reporters that officers have noticed a pattern of young people leaving the mall after it closes at 7 p.m. and circulate downtown area nearby for hours. She noted that if parents don’t know where their 12-year-old is at 11:30 p.m. before Easter, that should “be a priority.”
“I think everybody sees the messages in the evening at 10 o’clock, ‘parents do you know where your children are?'” Terry said, referencing an old public service announcement. “And we would ask for our parents to get involved in what their children are out doing, especially at these hours of the evening.”
Law enforcement officials have not yet made any arrests in connection with the shooting and have declined to disclose information about any of the potential suspects. Detectives from the department have begun an investigation into the aggravated assault, as confirmed by police sources.
Not shockingly, in Biden’s America, this marks the third shooting incident to occur in Indianapolis over the course of three consecutive weekends, as reported by NBC News affiliate WTHR.
Last Sunday, five people including an officer were killed in a shooting in the east side of the city, the station reported. An officer shot and killed the suspect in that case.
And one person was killed in a shooting at a bar on March 16, leaving five others injured, according to the Indianapolis Star. The newspaper reported that a suspect was arrested and charged in the shooting after police were able to identify a shooter using surveillance footage inside the bar.

Ana Kasparian, a co-host on the left-wing Young Turks network, has praised Florida and its governor Ron DeSantis for passing robust anti-squatting laws.
Just this week DeSantis signed bill HB 621, which allows people to remove squatters quickly and effectively rather than being subject to weeks or months of legal proceedings.
“If you’re the victim of squatting, you can simply fill out a form, give it to your local sheriff and the sheriff is instructed to go and remove the people who are inhabiting your dwelling illegally,” DeSantis said on announcing the legislation. “And that will happen very quickly.”
Kasparian said she was impressed by DeSantis’s swift action on the matter and pointed out that blue states are doing nothing to protect property rights.
“I am impressed by the speed DeSantis did something about this,” she said. “We’re seeing stories out of New York and California where lawmakers are just sitting on their asses and doing nothing about it. And I think it is wrong. I think that they shouldn’t just sit around and do nothing as these stories continue to flood the press.”
Ana Kasparian praises Ron DeSantis and Florida for passing an anti-squatter bill, and criticizes New York and California for “sitting on their asses and doing nothing about it”.

Despite being an ardent progressive, Kasparian is known to sometimes break ranks with left-wing orthodoxy and speak some degree of common sense. Last year, she described the state of California as a “nightmare” and warned people against visiting.
“So, Gavin Newsom and the current Democratic legislature in the state of California have engaged in this trend of decriminalizing everything and refusing to regulate things,” she explained at the time. “No one is safe, everyone’s angry, and you see all sorts of terrible stuff happening right there in broad daylight in the middle of the street.”
“California is *without question* a shit show under Newsom,” she continued. “But I guess propping up proven failures is what the Democratic Party excels at these days.”

A sinister individual committed a heinous and criminal act in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee on Easter Sunday.
As WSMV 4 News reported, Wilson County deputies responded to a trailer fire at Old Lebanon Dirt Road and Chandler Road around 6 a.m. Easter Sunday. Mt. Juliet Fire Department crews contained and extinguished the fire, but not before the Bibles in the trailer burned.
Police revealed the trailer of Bibles was left in the middle of the intersection near Global Vision Bible Church and then intentionally set on fire. They did not reveal the person’s race or gender.
Sheriff Robert Bryan told News Channel 5 Nashville that investigators are reviewing the security footage, and said the car appears to be an out-of-state plate.
Global Vision Bible Church is headed by Pastor Greg Locke, who is a prominent Christian Conservative and supporter of President Trump. He has made a number of politically incorrect statements targeting Democrats and transgenderism.
Locke said in a Facebook post that his security team caught a man dropping off the trailer who then got out and set the trailer of Bibles on fire in front of the church. He also claimed that a woman drove through the night and was able to alert police quickly.
Happy Resurrection Sunday. This morning at 6:00 AM, our security cameras saw a man dropping off a trailer in the middle of the intersection and blocking the road into our church. He then got out and set fire to an entire trailer full of Bibles right in front of our church.
There was a lady that had driven through the night to get to our church, and she was in the parking lot and was able to get the police officers here quickly, but it was quite the scene to wake up to on my first morning back from Israel. Had to block traffic in all directions but they are almost finished cleaning it up. It’s going to be a great day in the Lord. The enemy is already.
Locke told WKRN he was shocked when he saw the burned Bibles. He also said the suspect was “very meticulous” and called the act a “rebellious statement” toward Global Vision Bible Church.
“It was strange because he had his blinkers on, and he scotched the wheels and everything,” Locke said. “He was very meticulous, so he had to be very courageous to do what he did.”
“We’ve had people do things to our building, we’ve been vandalized a number of times, hence why we have to have security, but never 200 Bibles being burned. That’s a pretty rebellious statement towards the church.”
Individuals with additional information are being encouraged to call the Wilson County Sheriff’s Office at 615-444-1459.

I don’t think I need to tell you, when Google’s Gemini AI has been spitting out images of black female founding fathers, that generative AI is hopelessly woke. The assumption, of course, was that Silicon Valley progressives were the ones behind this sinister social engineering and that, deeply embedded in the code for ChatGPT was the formula to destroy conservatism, faith and the nuclear family for good.
However, there’s a more troubling prospect raised by a pre-publication study done regarding the political biases of generative AI platforms. To quote Walt Kelly: “We have met the enemy, and he is us.” Or, at least, “us” being the liberal media establishment.
On Thursday, The New York Times published an opinion piece titled “How AI Chatbots Became Political.” Despite this being the Gray Lady, itself essentially an AI chatbot that has become very political, the piece was actually worth reading as an explainer to why current AI bots skew left — and how a recent study seemed to indicate that these bots couldn’t be trained to be more conservative than leftist if they were fed partisan material.
But first, let’s start off with how commercial chatbots end up being liberal: “Access to open-source versions of A.I. models allows us to see how a model’s political preferences develop,” the Times noted. “During the initial base training phase, most models land close to the political center on both axes, as they initially ingest huge amounts of training data — more or less everything A.I. companies can get their hands on — drawing from across the political spectrum.
“Models then undergo a second phase called fine-tuning. It makes the model a better chat partner, training it to have maximally pleasant and helpful conversations while refraining from causing offense or harm, like outputting pornography or providing instructions for building weapons.
“Companies use different fine-tuning methods, but they’re generally a hands-on process that offers greater opportunity for individual decisions by the workers involved to shape the direction of the models. At this point, more significant differences emerge in the political preferences of the A.I. systems.”
Of course, several answers immediately come to mind as to why the bots then become political. Outside of a small number of deeply closeted conservative tech devs who would never in a million years betray or act upon their political inclinations, Silicon Valley is about as progressive as it gets. That’s the reason why, the man on the street assumes, AI is so liberal.
However, what if you tried to cultivate separate bots for separate political positions? That’s what David Rozado, a machine-learning researcher, recently did by administering a slew of political orientation tests to 24 of the most advanced language models.
Rozado, the Times reported, “found a consistent pattern: They tend to be politically left of center and lean libertarian instead of authoritarian. These leanings are reflected in their moral judgments, the way they frame their answers, which information they choose to share or omit and which questions they will or won’t answer.”

And, Rozado’s study of these “still largely inscrutable black boxes,” as the Times put it, yielded consistent results no matter what diet they were fed.
“To the extent that anyone has attempted to steer this process beyond avoiding extreme views, those attempts appear unsuccessful. For example, when three Meta models were evaluated by Mr. Rozado, one tested as being Establishment Liberal, another Ambivalent Right,” the Times concluded. “One OpenAI model tested as Establishment Liberal and the other was Outsider Left. Grok’s ‘fun mode’ turns out to be a Democratic Mainstay, more liberal than the median model.
“Google’s Gemini Advanced, released after Mr. Rozado’s paper, appears to be farthest to the left, but in a way that presumably well overshot its creators’ intentions, reflecting another unsuccessful steering attempt.”
And how do you do this? “If one wants to steer this process directionally, Mr. Rozado proves it is straightforward to do. He started with GPT-3.5-Turbo and rapidly created models he called LeftWingGPT and RightWingGPT (at a total training cost of about $2,000) by feeding the model a steady diet of partisan sources. For example, RightWingGPT read National Review, while LeftWingGPT read The New Yorker,” the paper reported. “The resulting models were far more politically extreme than any publicly available model tested by Mr. Rozado.”
This all sounds somewhat cataclysmic for conservatives with regard to AI — until you realize how the sources that Rozado’s study used were obtained.
Buried in the weeds of the pre-publication copy of the paper is where they got the material to prime LeftWingGPT, RightWingGPT and a third bot dubbed DepolarizingGPT.
“LeftWingGPT was fine-tuned with textual content from left-leaning publications such as The Atlantic, or The New Yorker (ideological labels derived from Allsides …), and from books excerpts from leftleaning writers such as Bill McKibben and Joseph Stiglitz. We also used for fine tuning synthetic data created with gpt-3.5-turbo to generate left-leaning responses to questions with political connotations. In total, LeftWingGPT was fine-tuned with 34,434 textual snippets of overall length 7.6 million tokens,” the report read.
“RightWingGPT was fine-tuned with content from right-leaning publications such as National Review, or The American Conservative, and from book excerpts from right-leaning writers such as Roger Scruton and Thomas Sowell. Here as well we created synthetic data generated with gpt-3.5-turbo to produce right-leaning responses to questions with political connotations. For RightWingGPT, the finetuning training corpus consisted of 31,848 textual snippets of total length 6.8 million tokens,” it continued.
The problem, of course, is not the objective workings of the mysterious black box, but instead the subjective workings of, among other things, AllSides. Among the organizations viewed as centrist in one version of the survey included the BBC, Axios, Newsweek and Reuters — all organizations with a clear left-leaning bias. And NPR, NBC and The New York Times were in the left-leaning category — while Fox News had been designated hard-right:

And this is, at the heart of things, the conundrum of AI. It’s worked on by techies who have their own biases — but, don’t worry, they outsource bias ratings to an organization that is in no way biased itself. Amazing, that.
In other words, at least part of AI’s political foibles comes down to the same old axiom coined by the kind of computer programmers who used punch cards: Garbage in, garbage out.
AI cannot teach itself — yet, anyhow — that it’s being influenced by the content that’s considered within an acceptable political window. That’s how large language models work. It’s entirely dependent on what’s being fed to it. And, even if AI’s failures might not be as spectacular as Google Gemini’s black Nazis, the same principle remains in place. We have found the enemy of objectivity, and once again, it is us. The problem is that this is a technology that could upend the world order even more than atomic weapons. When such sloppiness is applied to a field of study so crucial to our future, there’s good reason to fret over this.

Liberal NBC host Nicolle Wallace threw a childish tantrum during her television show on Friday after President Trump called out radical Judge Juan Merchan’s daughter on social media.
As Fox News reported, Wallace was joined on her show by former federal Judge and Trump Derangement Syndrome sufferer Michael Luttig, MSNBC’s John Heilman, Lisa Rubin, and Glenn Kirschner.
Wallace opened up by tossing her papers in the air, saying, “We’re not going to have this conversation again!” She then went on to whine that she could not believe the courts were ‘coddling’ Trump and bemoaned his success at getting his trials delayed.
The leftist anchor then went on to allege a conspiracy, claiming Trump “managed to enlist the Supreme Court” to delay the process.
She concluded by saying Trump is putting judges in danger due to his verbal ‘attacks’ and asked her panelists what steps they could take to counter him.

Trump on Truth Social posted a message on Thursday claiming Merchan was compromised by his daughter Lorie’s role as a Democratic political consultant and her alleged hatred of him. He had previously sent a message calling for Merchan to recuse himself due to his daughter’s work with the Biden-Harris campaign.
Judge Juan Merchan is totally compromised, and should be removed from this TRUMP Non-Case immediately. His Daughter, Loren, is a Rabid Trump Hater, who has admitted to having conversations with her father about me, and yet he gagged me.
She works for Crooked Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Adam “Shifty” Schiff, and other Radical Leftists who Campaign on “Getting Trump,” and fundraise off the “Biden Indictments” – including this Witch Hunt, which her father “presides” over, a TOTAL Conflict – and attacking Biden’s Political Opponent through the Courts. Former D.A. Cy Vance refused to bring this case, as did all Federal Agencies, including “Elections.”
As Jim Hoft revealed last month, Merchan is a radical leftist who has donated to Democrats and sent Trump’s former 75-year-old CFO Allen Weisselberg to prison for five months last year in a BS tax fraud scheme targeting President Trump, his family, and his business. There is no chance Trump will receive a fair trial in his courtroom.
Fox News notes Merchan imposed a gag order on Trump in the hush money case on March 26, claiming the 45th president’s “prior extrajudicial statements” establish “a sufficient risk to the administration of justice.”
The judge ordered Trump not to make or direct others to make statements in public about witnesses regarding their potential participation, counsel in the case (other than Bragg, or about court staff, DA staff or family members of staff.

A landmark decision was made in the Tennessee Senate on Thursday as lawmakers passed HB1894, a bill that would redefine the term “drug” within the state’s legal code to include food products containing vaccines or vaccine materials.
The bill now awaits the signature of Governor Bill Lee (R-TN), WSMV reported.
The legislation comes amid concerns from Republican lawmakers about the potential for vaccines to be incorporated into food supplies. The bill specifically targets research that explores the possibility of embedding vaccines into food items, which has been a subject of discussion in scientific circles.
During the discussion in the Senate, proponents of the bill cited research from the University of California Riverside (UCR), where scientists have been investigating the feasibility of using edible plants, such as lettuce, as vehicles for mRNA vaccine delivery.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that researchers at the University of California were awarded a $500,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to develop technology that infuses experimental mRNA COVID-19 vaccines into spinach, lettuce, and other edible plants.
The team of nanobiotechnology experts is currently working on successfully delivering DNA containing mRNA BioNTech technology into chloroplasts, the part of the plants that instruct its cells’ DNA to replicate the vaccine material.
The researchers are tasked with demonstrating that genetically modified plants can produce enough mRNA to replace COVID-19 jabs and infuse the plants with the right dosage required to eat to replace vaccines.
Experimental mRNA vaccines will be edible, Juan Pablo Giraldo, an associate professor in UCR’s Department of Botany and Plant Sciences who is leading the research explained in a press release published by the university on Sept. 16.
“Ideally, a single plant would produce enough mRNA to vaccinate a single person,” Giraldo said. “We are testing this approach with spinach and lettuce and have long-term goals of people growing it in their own gardens,”
“Farmers could also eventually grow entire fields of it,” he added.
Last year, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) revealed that taxpayer money is being used to develop “transgenic edible vaccines,” transforming edible plants like lettuce and spinach into factories for producing mRNA vaccines as alternatives to mRNA shots.
“Do we want humans eating vaccines that were grown in corn meant to stop pigs from getting diarrhea? I don’t think we want that to happen. Yet that almost happened, and it could happen. There’s another case where the pollen cross-contaminated another crop of corn, and 155 acres of corn had to be burned. What are the cases where we’re not discovering this? I think it’s dangerous to play God with our food,” Rep. Massie said.
State Rep. Scott Cepicky (R-Culleoka), a vocal advocate for the bill, emphasized the need for regulation during a committee meeting in February. He pointed out that if vaccines were to be included in food, such as lettuce, the state would need to ensure that consumption is properly controlled to prevent under or overdosing.
“You would have to get a prescription for that to make sure that we know how much of the lettuce you have to eat based off of your body type so we don’t under-vaccinate you, which leads to the possibility of the efficacy of the drug being compromised, or we overdose you based off how much lettuce is [eaten],” he said during a House committee meeting in February according to WKRN.
“All this does is [say] we’re going to classify these types of food sources as pharmaceuticals, so if you want to consume them you would go to your doctor and get a prescription.”
Governor Bill Lee has not yet indicated whether he will sign the bill into law. If enacted, Tennessee would be the first state to explicitly classify vaccine-containing food as a drug, setting a precedent that other states might follow depending on how this issue evolves nationally.
The Tennessee State Senate has also taken a definitive stance against the controversial topic of “chemtrails” by passing SB 2691/HB 2063.
The bill, which aims to ban the intentional release of chemicals into the atmosphere for geoengineering purposes, was sponsored by Representative Monty Fritts (R-Kingston) and Senator Steve Southerland (R-Morristown) and won approval in the Senate. Read more here.

RINO Representative Mike Gallagher (WI) announced ten days ago that he will exit the House as early as next month.
Gallagher, who is currently serving as the chairman of the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, last month announced that he will not seek reelection.
Instead of serving out the rest of his term, Gallagher will retire early leaving the GOP with a one-vote majority!
But it’s worse than that.
Gallagher announced he will leave in mid-April. If Gallagher would have left before April 9th he would have triggered a special election in his district. Because he is leaving after April 9th but still in April, there will be no special election so the seat will remain empty.
This ensures that Republicans will lose another seat of their majority in Congress.
Emerald Robinson believes this is an organized tactic to put Republicans into the minority before the November elections. That way Democrats can nullify a Trump victory by using the 14th Amendment to keep him from office.
The early retirements of Ken Buck and Mike Gallagher are part of a scheme by the uniparty cabal to stop Trump from winning the 2024 election.
How? They want to flip the House blue in time to nullify the electoral vote via the 14th Amendment.
— Emerald Robinson
This is how the Uniparty works.
They do everything they can to screw with their voters.
On Easter Sunday President Trump slammed Mike Gallagher after he refused to step down in time to hold a runoff election for his replacement.
Trump posted on Truth social: “Never forget our cowards and weaklings. Such a disgrace.”
Why are Republicans allowing this turncoat to stay in office when he is hurting the party so significantly?

A convicted murderer and a child rapist were among a slew of illegal aliens arrested at the U.S. southern border this weekend, border patrol have confirmed.
The arrests were announced by U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) Jason Owens on the X platform.
“USBP agents in Deming, NM arrested a Mexican national w/ prior convictions for 1st Degree Murder, Battery, Stalking, & Probation Violations,” Chief Owens explained on social media on Thursday.
“This is what’s known as an aggravated felon. He does not belong in the U.S., let alone in your communities.”

Just this week, Owens revealed that people from over 160 countries had entered the U.S. illegally through the southern border at the invitation of Joe Biden:
So far, this fiscal year alone, we have had people from 160 countries or more come across our border illegally. Every country and every region has smugglers that try to facilitate a pipeline for them to get to where they are going and they are connected with one another. If they are coming from Europe or coming from Asia they will find ways to get to maybe South America and from South America then they may make their way up to the Darien Gap and make their way to Central America and ultimately find their way to decision points that take them to different points along our borders.

For a spacecraft that landed upside down on the moon’s south pole surface, the Japanese SLIM lunar lander is showing absolutely remarkable resilience, as it arises that earlier this week the spacecraft ‘woke up’ from its SECOND Lunar night!
You can recall this incredible story here on TGP:
First is was: OH, NO: Japanese SLIM Lunar Lander Is Upside Down on the Moon Surface!
The it became: SLIM IS BACK: Upside Down Japanese Moon Lander Recharged Batteries and Resumed Lunar Mission
and finally:
SLIM IS BACK: Upside Down Japanese Moon Lander Recharged Batteries and Resumed Lunar Mission
So, SLIM’s ‘alive’.
The ‘moon sniper’ survived its second freezing lunar night, as mission team members announced the news on X, in a post that also featured a photo newly snapped by the lander’s navigation camera.
Space.com reported:
SLIM, whose name is short for “Smart Lander for Investigating Moon,” launched last September and landed on Jan. 19, making Japan just the fifth nation to pull off a soft lunar touchdown. (The other four are the Soviet Union, the United States, China and India.)
The solar-powered SLIM landed on its nose that day, a less-than-optimal orientation for harvesting sunlight. The 440-pound (200 kilograms) probe went dark shortly thereafter but then woke up on Jan. 28 and began gathering data.
The mission team put SLIM into hibernation a few days later ahead of the two-week-long lunar night, during which surface temperatures at its locale dropped to around minus 208 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 130 degrees Celsius).”
Last night, we received a response from #SLIM, confirming that the spacecraft made it through the lunar night for the second time! Since the sun was still high and the equipment was still hot, we only took some shots of the usual scenery with the navigation camera. #GoodAfterMoon pic.twitter.com/5BjIr7vxMG

With two ‘revivals’ to its credit, the ‘moon sniper’ is beginning to suffer from the radical temperatures.
“‘According to the acquired data, some temperature sensors and unused battery cells are starting to malfunction, but the majority of functions that survived the first lunar night was mantained even after the second lunar night!’ mission team members said in another X post on Wednesday night.”
In an additional post, mission control wrote: ‘Last night, the temperature dropped a little, so I received uncompressed data from the navigation camera that was taken the other day. The distance to the distant cross-shaped crater is approximately 7 km, and the distance to the mountain behind it is approximately 29 km. The sense of distance is quite different from Earth because there is no atmospheric haze and the distance to the horizon is different.’

Russian authorities have begun deporting large numbers of Muslims in the wake of last week’s deadly Islamist state attack at a Moscow concert hall, in an effort that has been reportedly dubbed “Operation Anti-Migrant.”
According to The Moscow Times, anti-Islamic sentiment has soared in the aftermath of the attack, in which at least 144 people were killed and hundreds of more were wounded or in critical condition. Islamic State has since claimed responsibility for the massacre.
The Times notes:
Authorities in St. Petersburg have been deporting migrants en masse in the week since the deadly attack on a Moscow region concert hall, the legal rights group Perviy Otdel said Friday. More than 64 foreigners were deported from the city’s Vyborgsky district on Thursday alone, the NGO said, citing one of its unidentified lawyers.
…
A number of buses carrying migrants were also headed to St. Petersburg’s Pulkovo International Airport on Friday afternoon, they added. The countries where the migrants were being sent to were not specified, though it is known that labor migrants in Russia mostly hail from poor Central Asian countries.
The four men accused of carrying out the attack were from Tajikistan, a majority Muslim country that does not share a border with Russia.

RadioFreeEurope reported:
Russia is deporting hundreds of foreigners for immigration violations in the wake of the deadliest terrorist attack in nearly two decades. Meanwhile, many Tajik migrant workers are leaving the country on their own accord, fearing an increase in xenophobia.
Russian law enforcement has carried out sweeping checks of immigrants in the country after gunmen on March 22 killed 144 people at a concert hall near Moscow. Four of the suspected gunmen are Tajik citizens.
Courts in St. Petersburg this week ruled to deport 418 foreign citizens while another 48 must leave on their own accord, spokeswoman Daria Lebedeva said in a post on Telegram. The foreigners were rounded up in Russia’s second-largest city during broad searches of vehicles along major thoroughfares. Other cities are carrying out checks of migrant workers as well.
Islam is officially recognized in Russia as one of the country’s sanctioned religions, while Muslims represent around 14 percent of the its overall population.
However, there have long been tensions between Moscow and Muslim-majority such as Chechnya and Dagestan, where separatist movements seek to set up their own Islamic republics.

As Kristinn Taylor reported earlier – Joe Biden posted an in your face statement on Easter Sunday supporting Transgender Day of Visibility after posting several Easter statements earlier Sunday morning. (UPDATE at end of article.)

Today, we show millions of transgender and nonbinary Americans that we see them, they belong, and they should be treated with dignity and respect.”

After spending Saturday afternoon and evening pushing back against criticism over Joe Biden declaring this Easter Sunday ‘Transgender Day of Visibility’, the White House released an official statement from Biden Sunday morning about Easter. Biden also posted about Easter several times on social media. None of Biden’s statements addressed concerns about the controversies regarding his transgender proclamation nor the banning of religious themes in the White House Easter Egg contest for children of National Guard members.
Which Biden to believe: Transgender Day of Visibility Dark Brandon, or pious church-going Joe Biden?
Kamala Harris later doubled down after Joe Biden’s blasphemous declaration of ‘Transgender Visibility Day’ on Easter Sunday.
“Devout Catholic” Joe Biden also banned any Christian-themed designs from being submitted to the White House’s Easter-themed art contest.
This is even though Easter is a Christian holiday commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Then later today Joe Biden’s Assistant Secretary of Health, Rachel Levine, who identifies as a trans woman, released his/her own statement on Trans Visibility Day.
Rachel Levine celebrated the day on X – again with no mention of Easter Sunday.

On Easter Sunday, El Paso Magistrate Judge Humberto Acosta ordered the release of a large group of illegal immigrants accused of participating in a violent encounter with National Guard troops along the Rio Grande.
The incident, which took place on March 21, has been described by authorities as a “border riot,” during which illegal immigrants, predominantly men from Venezuela, overwhelmed security measures and clashed with National Guard forces.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that hundreds of illegal aliens from Africa, Central America, Colombia, and Venezuela made a rush for the border in El Paso, Texas after they were pushed south of the concertina wire in the middle of the night by the National Guard.
The illegals breached the concertina wire, overwhelmed National Guard members, and made a rush for the border.
Daily Mail reported:
Authorities in Texas have arrested 70 migrants who broke through a line of National Guard troops on March 21 with the intent to storm past the El Paso border.
The 70 who were arrested were part of a group of 600 illegal crossers present that day, who were seen climbing over a triple layer of razor wire and then confronting the National Guard at the other side.
In a video of the riot captured by the New York Post, the group of migrants initially appear to put their hands in the air. The scene quickly turned violent when a few of them squeak through the several National Guard members that were closing the gap between a broken fence.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has locked up more than 200 migrants whom Texas wants to arrest and charge related to this incident, an agency official told the New York Post. That same official reportedly said that federal authorities ‘are not being as cooperative as Border Patrol.’
The 70 migrants who were detained by Texas authorities are facing misdemeanor rioting charges.
According to the New York Post, the National Guard personnel reported the seizure of knives and makeshift weapons from individuals involved in the disturbance. Additionally, there was an instance where an illegal alien attempted to seize a firearm from a soldier.
Several soldiers stationed near Gate 36 on that day required medical attention for minor injuries and were taken to a local hospital for treatment.
Judge Acosta, presiding over an online teleconference bond hearing on Easter Sunday, criticized the El Paso District Attorney’s Office for “not being ready” for individual detention hearings for each defendant, El Paso Times reported.
“It is the ruling of the court that all the rioting participation cases will be released on their own recognizance,” Acosta said.
Several illegal immigrants faced assault charges for toppling National Guard members during the riot.
The precise number of individuals charged with “riot participation,” a Class B misdemeanor, remains undisclosed, though Judge Acosta alluded to “hundreds of arrestees” who were legally due individual detention hearings within a 48-hour window.
Assistant District Attorney Ashley M. Martinez’s plea for a postponement of the hearings was firmly denied by the magistrate.
“So if the DA’s office is telling me that they are not ready to go, what we’re going to do is we’re going to release all these individuals on their own recognizance,” Acosta said at the hearing.
Following the ruling, two additional migrants faced separate hearings on criminal mischief charges related to the border fence damage. They received a $2,000 bond each, but Magistrate Judge Antonio Aun also sanctioned their release on personal recognizance bonds. Both are subject to immigration holds.
According to the El Paso Times, another hearing for more defendants is scheduled today, Monday.
Judge Humberto Acosta is well-known for his decisions to dismiss criminal cases and return defendants to the community.
