And there was almost a coup in Congo. Whatever this thing is, it is massive, and permeates across national boundaries.

Unverified, could be a hoax, but clearly not impossible:

“Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose ordered the state’s voter rolls to be purged of “non-citizens” Tuesday after a review found more than 100 Ohio residents who were registered to vote despite lacking U.S. citizenship.”

Donald Trump trial updates: Furious Michael Cohen says he stole $60,000 from Trump as ‘self-help’ because ex-president slashed his bonus – in bombshell testimony blowing the prosecution case wide open. It is certainly possible Cohen is this big a scumbag. But Trump is pretty savvy. I think it less likely Cohen would slip by Trump as a scumbag. This almost has a scripted feel, as has Cohen’s Carnival barker Trump attack videos. Like a big WWE show, with Trump as Vince McMahon.

State Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan cleared the courtroom Monday over a dramatic spat with the defense’s first main witness, Robert Costello. From the piece – “Mr. Costello, a lawyer who once spoke to Trump lawyer-turned-accuser Michael Cohen, seemed to take exception to one of Judge Merchan’s objection rulings, uttering “Jeez,” and then sighing, “Strike it.” “You don’t say ‘jeez.’ And you don’t say “strike it,’ because I’m the only one who strikes it,” Judge Merchan told Mr. Costello”

Cont’-

The type of treatment Costello, an experienced prosecutor who once worked for the US Attorney’s Office for New York in the 1970s and early 1980s, is receiving on the witness stand from the judge is disgusting,” Paul Ingrassia said.

“Merchan is visibly perturbed, condescending, and downright abusive of the witness on the stand. Outrageous behavior from a judge, and totally inappropriate for any courtroom! No decorum whatsoever!” Ingrassia said.

Twitter analysis – 

BREAKING: Judge Merchan is extremely limiting the scope of what the Defense expert witness can testify to.

The defense is attempting to bring a former commissioner from the FEC, who happens to also be a lawyer, as their expert to the witness stand, presumably to ask and clarify for the jury, in part, why this case has not been preempted (or ‘barred’) by federal law, since this case is, after all, allegedly a federal election law violation.

Judge Merchan is not allowing the Defense to clarify the meanings of technical legal jargon for the jury. He seems to not be allowing them to read statutes or ask statute-related questions, or ask about how the law has been previously interpreted by other courts.

Merchan is attempting to restrict the direct examination to very general questions, and it’s obvious why: this case should not be in state court at all! If the law was being fairly applied, this case would not have gotten off the ground in the first place!

Hunter Biden now claims he didn’t introduce dad to Burisma exec despite admitting they dined together — as ‘sugar brother’ runs out of cash.

CBS’s Red Lobster Story Buries Inflation Despite Being About Inflation

The story of Red Lobster’s bankruptcy, as reported by CBS, is ultimately about inflation. But that lede gets buried a minute into the report, in the hopes that the viewer won’t notice at all. Watch the blink-and-you’ll miss it reference to inflation, which came a full minute into the report: NIKKI BATISTE: In its bankruptcy filing, Red Lobster blamed failed or ill-advised strategic initiatives and increased competition within the restaurant industry. Red lobster's downfall comes at a time when eating out is more expensive than ever, with restaurant prices climbing higher and faster than grocery costs. In an effort to bring back inflation-weary consumers, McDonald's is planning to offer a $5 meal this summer, and Target has dropped prices on 5,000 items. JILL SCHLESINGER: If you are in the business of luring people into kind of, “have a little bit of splurge”, these are not the times where people feel like they can splurge. In a sense, the Red Lobster bankruptcy serves almost as a vehicle with which to introduce the McBidenomics Unhappy Meal and announce Target’s price cuts. All are stories related to inflation, as is Red Lobster's bankruptcy.  Think about it, a restaurant chain was brought down in large part by an all-you-can-eat shrimp special. Because people saw value in that rather than going to other restaurants where the menu prices were more in line with inflation or ordering from Red Lobster’s regular menu. I know this to be true because the report featured people stuffing their faces with $20 endless shrimp and bragging about it on social media.   There are times when there is more to the story than just the story. Such is the case of CBS’s report on Red Lobster's bankruptcy filing, which is really about the ongoing devastating effects of inflation on the American public.    Click “expand” to view the full transcript of the aforementioned report as aired on the CBS Evening News on Monday, May 21st, 2024: NORAH O’DONNELL: America's largest seafood restaurant chain, Red Lobster, is in a serious financial pinch- and filing for bankruptcy protection. CBS’s Nikki Battiste reports on why the once-popular chain has struggled to reel in customers. NARRATOR: Live Maine lobster, just the way you like it. NIKKI BATISTE: After a 56-year cultural climb  JINGLE: ♪♪ Red Lobster for the seafood lover in you… ♪♪ BATISTE: Seafood giant Red Lobster is having trouble staying afloat.  CUSTOMER: Hopefully, they’ll just reorganize and be back on their feet soon. BATISTE: The casual dining hot spot has struggled since the pandemic. It’s lost 30% of its customers and has had at least four CEOs in the last five years. NARRATOR: Ultimate endless shrimp is here. BATISTE: Also, an attempt to lure more customers in with $20 endless shrimp backfired, costing the company $11 million. Diners would share their tallies on social media. INFLUENCER 1: 61, wow. If you are a shrimp lover… INFLUENCER 2: It's a pretty good deal. INFLUENCER 3: Me, I set a new record at my local Red Lobster. BATISTE: In its bankruptcy filing, Red Lobster blamed failed or ill-advised strategic initiatives and increased competition within the restaurant industry. Red lobster's downfall comes at a time when eating out is more expensive than ever, with restaurant prices climbing higher and faster than grocery costs. In an effort to bring back inflation-weary consumers, McDonald's is planning to offer a $5 meal this summer, and Target has dropped prices on 5,000 items. JILL SCHLESINGER: If you are in the business of luring people into kind of, “have a little bit of splurge”, these are not the times where people feel like they can splurge. BATISTE: There are about 550 restaurants across the U.S., so far at least 93 have closed. Red Lobster says it hopes to keep open as many locations as possible through the bankruptcy process. Norah. O’DONNELL: All right. Nikki Batiste, outside a Red Lobster. Thank you.

The Daily Wire reported on this:

Bette Midler Gets Fact-Checked After Asking, What If Hillary Clinton ‘Claimed The Election Was Stolen?’

The remark, seemingly out of the blue from the legendary singer and actress whose career in Hollywood and on Broadway has spanned more than five decades, immediately attracted criticism as well as a fact-check.

Critics pointed out that Clinton is on the record questioning the results of the election she lost to former President Donald Trump.

“There was a widespread understanding that this election [in 2016] was not on the level,” Clinton said in October 2020 during an interview on The Atlantic’s politics podcast, The Ticket. “We still don’t know what really happened.”

“There’s just a lot that I think will be revealed. History will discover,” Clinton continued. “But you don’t win by 3 million votes and have all this other shenanigans and stuff going on and not come away with an idea like, ‘Whoa, something’s not right here.’ That was a deep sense of unease.”

Midler got roasted by other people:

NewsBusters Podcast: Eek, The Alito Bandito Flies the Flag Upside-Down

The New York Times considered it front-page material that leftist neighbors snitched on Supreme Court justice Sam Alito. A flag flew upside-down in his yard in the days after January 6. This same Democrat rag published an assassination threat to Justice Kavanaugh two years ago on Page A-20. Liberal or leftist neighbors of the Alitos showed their photos of the flag to the Times, and were rewarded with anonymity by reporter Jodi Kantor: "The half-dozen neighbors who saw the flag, or knew of it, requested anonymity because they said they did not want to add to the contentiousness on the block and feared reprisal." Wait -- they didn't want to "add to the contentiousness on the block" while they shared photos of their neighbors to The New York Times. The networks launched critical stories. On PBS, NewsHour anchor Geoff Bennett brought it into their Friday night Week in Politics segment. That’s fascinating. Because on June 10, 2022, the NewsHour couldn’t devote that segment to assassination threat against Justice Kavanaugh! NPR didn’t have a Friday night feature on Alito, but they did discuss Alito on Weekend Edition Saturday, your breakfast treat for liberals. Remember, NPR never aired a feature story on the assassination threat against Justice Kavanaugh. That was simply skipped, or spiked. ABC anchor David Muir started swiping at the top of the show: Justice Alito "under fire" for flying flag upside down "for days" after the January 6 riot. "He's now blaming his wife!" Reporter Terry Moran claimed Alito was "embroiled in controversy" (and they're the embroilers). Moran found "Legal experts say" it's a real appearance of conflict of interest! CBS turned to Capitol Hill reporter Scott MacFarlane, whose entire job seems to be rehashing January 6. The upside-down flag meant Alito could be lumped in with "rioters and election deniers." Justices "should not be swayed by partisan interests," CBS lectured in its report that was aiming to please their won partisan interests.  Enjoy the podcast below, or wherever you listen to podcasts:   

WHAT’S GOING ON HERE? Paul Pelosi’s Attacker Has Already Been Tried and Sentenced – Meanwhile, the Man Who Wanted to Kill Justice Kavanaugh Hasn’t Even Gone to Trial

What is going on with our justice system?

David DePape, the man who attacked Nancy Pelosi’s husband Paul has already faced a trial, was convicted, and sentenced to 30 years in jail. His crime took place in October of 2022.

Meanwhile, Nicholas Roske, who showed up at the home of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh with a gun and other dangerous items with the intention of killing him, has not even gone on trial yet. And his crime happened months before the attack on Paul Pelosi!

Meanwhile, Roske hasn’t even gone to trial

— John Hasson (@SonofHas) May 17, 2024

A few weeks ago, the Washington Free Beacon pointed out that the case against Roske is being slow-walked and no one seems to know why:

Biden DOJ Slow-Walks ‘Slam Dunk’ Case Against Man Who Allegedly Tried To Kill Justice Kavanaugh, Baffling Experts

President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice is dragging its feet in prosecuting Nicholas Roske, the man accused of trying to assassinate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, leaving legal experts perplexed about the slow-moving pace of the case.

Roske was indicted for attempted murder of a Supreme Court justice nearly two years ago in June 2022, after allegedly traveling from his parent’s home in California to the Maryland suburbs of Washington, D.C., with the intent to kill Kavanaugh. Roske, a biological male who identified in some online posts as a transgender woman, was upset over the leaked Supreme Court draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade, according to court documents…

“It’s noteworthy that after nearly two years, there is still no trial date or plea agreement in this case,” Gerard Filitti, senior counsel at The Lawfare Project, told the Free Beacon. “While pretrial motions would resolve questions about the admissibility of some of the evidence, including statements made by Roske, there is no underlying procedural reason why it would take this long to get to trial.”

Does criminal justice in the United States now depend on the politics of the people who are victims of crimes?

It sure looks that way in this case.

REPORT: Illegal Aliens Are Rushing to the Border Now Because They’re Afraid Trump is Going to Win in November

hundreds of illegal immigrants being processed by U.S. Border Patrol officers

Illegal immigrants are apparently paying attention to political poll numbers in the United States.

Many of them are afraid that Trump is going to win in November and they’re rushing to the border as a result. They’re afraid that the free-for-all they have enjoyed under Biden will be all over and the border will finally come to an end.

Say what you will about these people, but they’re not stupid. They know Biden is in their corner and that Trump is serious about border security.

The New York Post reported:

Migrants rushing to cross border now in case Biden loses in November: ‘We don’t want Trump’

Migrants are coming to the US now because they fear President Biden could lose re-election in November and Donald Trump will shut the border.

Colombian brothers Ricardo, 20, and Sebastian, 18, spoke with The Post after crossing the Arizona border illegally last week.

They said they had been receiving assistance at the Yuma Regional Center for Border Health as they waited for a bus to the Phoenix airport, where they later caught a flight to New Jersey.

“We think with the elections, it will be harder,” Ricardo said.

“We don’t want Trump,” Sebastian said.

The brothers claimed asylum after they crossed the southern border and turned themselves in to Border Patrol agents in Yuma. They said they faced threats from criminals in Colombia, leading them to flee.

The Trump campaign could make an ad based on this report.

Radical Leftist Hamas Supporters Try to Heckle Jerry Seinfeld at Live Show – It Doesn’t End Well for Them (VIDEO)

Left wing loons who support Hamas tried to heckle comedian Jerry Seinfeld during a recent live show. These people are dedicated to ruining experiences for people, whether it’s college graduation ceremonies or even a comedy show.

The crowd at Jerry’s show was having none of it. In addition to chanting Jerry’s name, they got security to remove the people. Jerry hit back with comments, too.

Mind you, this is all because Jerry Seinfeld is Jewish and supports Israel.

Breitbart News reported:

Watch: Jerry Seinfeld Roasts Anti-Israel Heckler During Stand-Up Show

Seinfeld, who has been in the crosshairs of the anti-Israel activists lately due to his support of the Jewish state, had been performing in Virginia when one heckler called him a “genocide supporter” in the middle of his set.

“Save the children of Gaza! No more American tax dollars for genocide!” the heckler yelled.

The audience immediately greeted the heckler with a torrent of boos and told him to “shut up and get out.”

“You should be ashamed of yourself! You should all be ashamed of yourselves!” the heckler shouted back.

For his part, Seinfeld refused to take it lying down and immediately roasted the heckler.

“This is fun. I like this. I think your message is really resonating with the crowd. People seem to be on your side,” Seinfeld said in jest.

“How dare you support a genocide!” the heckler shot back.

“I like it when the Jew-haters spice up the show,” Seinfeld quipped.

Fox News' Sean Hannity breaks down Monday's NY v. Trump trial hearing, criticizing Judge Juan Merchan for limiting former Michael Cohen legal adviser Robert Costello's testimony.

Victor Reacts: Liars Lie! Bad Day in Court for Liberals (VIDEO)

When this is your star witness, you cannot claim that the case is about law and order. What is happening to Donald Trump in New York is the most egregious and clear cut example of political persecution we have ever seen and it becomes more undeniable by the day.

The Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft reported,

What a train wreck.

Michael Cohen, the lead witness in the ongoing Trump lawfare case in New York City, admitted Monday in court that he stole from Donald Trump, at least $30,000 and lied to CEO Allen Weisselberg.

Not only did Cohen admit to stealing from Donald Trump but he also admitted to having a financial interest in the result of the case, and admitted he would lie if it affected his personal life!

The Gateway Pundit reported,

Unbelievable!

Here is the exchange between Trump’s lawyer Todd Blanche and Michael Cohen courtesy of TGP contributor Paul Ingrassia who is inside of the NYC courtroom live reporting:

Blanche: Did you mean it when you said revenge is a dish best served cold?

Cohen: Yes, sir.

Blanche: You were willing to lie under oath if it affects your personal life, correct?

Cohen: I don’t understand your question.

Blanche: You testified under oath months ago that you were willing to lie if it affects your personal life, correct?

Cohen: Yes, sir.

Blanche: So I’m asking the same question to you now: would you still be willing to lie if it affects your personal life?

Bragg prosecutor: Objection!

Merchan: Objection sustained.

Blanche: Would you be willing to lie if it affects you personally?

Cohen: Yes, sir.

Michael Cohen admitted he has a financial interest in the outcome of Alvin Bragg’s lawfare case against Trump.

This sick witch-hunt against President Trump is more transparent than glass. Americans should be outraged over the weaponization of our system of justice. Election interference plain and simple.

ASSASSINATION PLOT? Robert Fico’s Shooter May Not Have Acted Alone: Slovakian Minister

The assassination attempt on Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has sent geopolitical ripples across Europe and the world, as the populist leader represented a new force that challenged mainstream EU and NATO views on Ukraine and a whole host of other issues.

Now, it is reported that the suspect in his shooting an may not have been just a ‘lone wolf’ as previously believed.

The Slovakian interior minister stated as much, as their security services try to clarify the circumstances of the attack.

Fico is reportedly no longer in immediate danger but his condition is still very serious.

The five shots that hit him marked the first major assassination attempt on a European political leader in more than 20 years.

Reuters reported:

“Interior Minister Matus Sutaj Estok said an investigation team had been set up, which would also look into whether the suspect acted as part of a group of people that had been encouraging each other to carry out an assassination.

One factor suggesting the involvement of other persons was that the suspect’s internet communications were deleted two hours after the assassination attempt, but not by the suspect and most likely not by his wife, Estok said. This indicated ‘the crime may have been committed by a certain group of people’, Estok told a news conference.”

Deputy Prime Minister Robert Kalinak said that, while Fico’s life was no longer in immediate danger, his condition is too serious for a move to a hospital in the capital Bratislava.

“‘The worst that we feared has (not happened), at least for the time being’, Kalinak told a news conference outside the hospital where Fico is being treated in the central Slovak city of Banska Bystrica. ‘We are all a little calmer. When we were saying that we want to get closer to a positive prognosis, then I believe that we are a step closer to that’, he added.”

The shooting suspect, Juraj Cintula, will remain in custody after being charged with attempted murder. He is a 71-year-old former security guard at a shopping mall.

“Estok said on Thursday that the suspect was angered by the government’s Ukraine policy. Fico’s government has ended official military support for Ukraine and taken a more pro-Russian line on the conflict than most European Union partners.

The government has said he became radicalized after Fico ally Peter Pellegrini won a presidential election last month, and that he had told police about his dissatisfaction with the government’s reforms of the prosecution service and public media – criticized by the opposition a well as the European Commission.”

Slovakian government and opposition trade accusations of stirring up divisions within society.

Wealthy Women Paying Big Bucks to Engage in Bizarre “Rage Rituals” in the Woods (VIDEO)

Credit: @OliLondon

A weird trend has been emerging worldwide where well-off women are paying thousands of dollars to go deep into the woods and scream like hyenas at the top of their lungs while smashing sticks.

USA Today reported that these events, known as rage rituals, have garnered attention on social media platforms, including TikTok. Women who have partaken in these events claim they are inspired to see other females manifest their anger.

Mia Banducci, an author and self-proclaimed “Spiritual Fairy Godmother,” is one of the individuals organizing these retreats. She told the outlet this month that the retreats help release negative feelings and increase happiness elsewhere in participants’ lives.

“When people do this and give themselves permission to release their anger, their capacity for joy actually expands,” she said. “They’re able to feel more happiness and pleasure, and they go home to their families with more gratitude and ease and peace.”

Banducci has led rage rituals for several years. She started doing them for herself before offering them to the general public.

These retreats can cost participants between $2,000 and $4,000. Banducci offers a one-day version for $222 per ticket.

Below is one example of a “rage ritual” led by Banducci:

Rage Rituals are one of my greatest honors to lead during my retreats. Check out my YT for the full video. If you want to experience a rage ritual with me and a group of sisters, I’m hosting 2 retreats this fall. #womensretreat #rageritual #spiritualretreat #spiritualtiktok #queendom

♬ LABOUR – the cacophony – Paris Paloma

The process of a rage ritual is simple. Banducci explained to USA Today that participants first grab big sticks while thinking about “every person who’s ever crossed you, who’s ever hurt you, who’s ever ignored your boundaries or taken advantage of you or abused you in any way.”

After taking warm-up breaths, the contestants start screaming and swinging the sticks for at least 20 minutes or until their arms go limp.

Banducci claims the ritual is held in the woods so participants can scream without annoying people nearby.

Kimberly Helmus, a cybersecurity engineer, told the outlet that she experienced surprising feelings while on her first rage ritual in Scotland with Banducci two and a half years ago.

Helmus said she believed the event would address the fury she felt toward her ex-husband after their divorce. But she instead felt a sadness she’d been holding in since witnessing a friend’s death when she was 15 years old.

“I remember it was a very clear, light-switch moment where I was like, ‘Oh, that’s what this is about,'” she explained. “So many times, I think you can’t really feel a lot of stuff until you work through it.”

USA Today points out that while Banducci may be the most prominent figure leading these crazy rituals, she is far from alone. Secret Sanctuary, for example, is scheduled to host a “Sacred Rage Ceremony” in Alberta, Canada, in July.

Author Jessica Ricchetti, an author and self-described mystic, will hold a “Sacred Rage” women’s retreat in North Carolina in June.

PBS's Washington Week Sees Dangerous GOP, Is Sad Hunter Trial May Make Joe Unhappy

It was a livelier-than-usual roundtable on Friday’s Washington Week with The Atlantic, as the import of former President Trump’s polling strength in the face of multiple trials seemed to be causing panic among the press corps. Moderator Jeffrey Goldberg led the feisty journalists in the discussion, including Laura Barrón-López of PBS NewsHour, Eugene Daniels of Politico, Susan Glasser of The New Yorker, and Steve Inskeep of National Public Radio. Susan Glasser of The New Yorker suggested it was only Republican members of Congress who were "play to the crowd" and "the cameras": Institutions are unraveling, not just the institution of the U.S. Congress, in fact, you see the Trumpification arguably of the Senate Republican conference, where the traditions have held up across-aisle-civililty much stronger until more recently. I think that this is, we’ll talk more about the Supreme Court, we’re seeing not only the hyper-politicization of our institutions but a kind of constant playing to the crowd, to the cameras, to the social media, and Marjorie Taylor Greene is a very effective example of this strand of our politics. It’s not going to go away.”     Glasser found it tacky for Congressional Republicans to travel to New York to support Donald Trump on trial. Then she really went low: GLASSER: ….not only is it Trump's party, but they even dress up like Donald Trump now. And that was something that -- for me, that is a visual marker, in some ways, of just what the decline of the Republican Party has been in many ways into a kind of a cult of personality, right? So, it's not only that the Republican Party is going to have as their nominee, someone who might well be convicted of felony crimes, who's even essentially acknowledged already in a court of law to be a sexual assaulter. GOLDBERG: He is a civilly adjudicated sexual offender? GLASSER: Yes. You know, this is a phrase that you used and I thought it was really notable. I don't think it's broken through to most people, a civilly adjudicated sexual offender is going to be the third time in a row the nominee of the Republican Party, and here they are dressing up like him. Meanwhile, Democratic President Bill Clinton paid Paula Jones $850,000 to settle a sexual harassment lawsuit while president in 1998. He spoke to the 2000 Democratic National Convention as president and at every convention since then, so he’s not yet a party pariah, not even after the #MeToo era. As for dressing up in solidarity for a cause, surely Glasser recalled the Democratic leadership dressing and kneeling wearing kente cloth to support police-reform legislation after the killing of George Floyd. She can read her own magazine for some pungent criticism of the stunt. Eugene Daniels of Politico was worried that average people weren’t as scared of Trump as the smart journalists who were paying attention, harping on a tweet from Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL) in support of Trump: “Standing back and standing by, Mr. President”: DANIELS: …the folks that are paying attention right now are were all kind of nervous about it, but the American people really aren't making those kinds of connections, right? When you talk to the American people, they say Congress is broken versus the Republican Party is, you know, all going on the Acela up to New York to dress the same, to defend Donald Trump, to do all the things he can't do, and also to wink and nod to the most dangerous aspects of the Republican Party, the most dangerous aspects of the Trump base, that, hey, we may need you to do something here. And this would be hyperbolic if the insurrection hadn't happened on January 6th…. GOLDBERG: Steve [Inskeep], I just want to ask you to switch subjects to another trial that is coming next month -- the Hunter Biden trial, gun possession. Now, Hunter Biden is not running for president, there is a big difference. But the question is, how is this going to affect the mood and happiness and effectiveness of Joe Biden? Hmm. WAs that really the big question? There was no speculation or even a hint regarding President Biden’s own possible culpability, even though the president was allegedly heavily intertwined with his son Hunter’s financial mis-dealings. For journalists, it’s always only about the president’s personal anguish of seeing his son on trial. Inskeep also kept the issue on a personal, not legal, level for the President: “…he’s gonna take it personally because he takes this personally.” Goldberg somberly stated: “He's a father and it’s gonna affect him.”

Commie Pope Francis Claims Stopping America’s Illegal Border Invasion Would Be ‘Sheer Madness’ (VIDEO)

By: Ben Kew
Screenshot: 60 Minutes/Youtube

Pope Francis has come out against efforts to control America’s borders, arguing that attempting to stop the invasion at the U.S.-Mexico border would be “sheer madness.”

In a 60 Minutes interview with Norah O’Donnell, Francis denounced efforts by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton to shut down a Catholic charity that is enabling the passage of thousands of illegal aliens across the southern border.

“Migration is something that makes a country grow,” he said. “They say that you Irish migrated and brought the whiskey, and that the Italians migrated and brought the mafia. Migrants sometimes suffer a lot. They suffer a lot.”

“To close the border and leave them there, that is madness,” he continued. “Migrants have to be welcomed. Thereafter, you see how you are going to deal with them. Maybe you have to send them back, I don’t know, but each case ought to be considered humanely.”

Over the weekend, Paxton filed a fresh complaint against Annunciation House for its role in enabling the crisis at the southern border and warned that other charities involved in such illegal activities will face similar actions.

“Any NGO (non-governmental organization) facilitating the unlawful entry of illegal aliens into Texas is undermining the rule of law and potentially jeopardizing the safety and wellbeing of our citizens,” Paxton wrote in a press release.

“All NGOs who are complicit in (President) Joe Biden’s illegal immigration catastrophe and think they are above the law should consider themselves on notice.”

At another point in the wide-ranging interview, Francis accused conservatives of having a “suicidal attitude” to life and politics.

“You use an adjective – conservative. That is conservative is one who clings to something and does not want to see beyond that,” Francis argued.

“It is a suicidal attitude. Because one thing is to take tradition into account. To consider situations from the past. But quite another to be closed up inside a dogmatic box.”

The Argentinian, who became pontiff in 2013, is notorious for hostility to conservatism and Catholic traditions. This has caused bitter divisions within the wider church, with some Catholics going so far as to call him a heretic.

Biden Education Department Shared Activists’ Memo on Mobilizing Dem-Leaning Voters

Biden administration officials circulated and discussed a memo authored by a coalition of liberal groups aimed at getting more college students to participate in elections as part of the Education Department’s presidentially ordered voter-registration efforts, newly surfaced emails show.

Groups that donated millions to elect Democrats and are funded by major liberal donors submitted a list of recommendations to the Education Department in 2021 outlining ways the department could get college students, a historically liberal demographic, to vote more, according to emails obtained by The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project. [Heritage founded The Daily Signal in 2014.]

dailycallerlogo

The memo recommended that the Education Department include a voter registration option on its college financial aid application, use resources to make students aware of vote-by-mail opportunities, and allow universities to use federal work-study to pay students for nonpartisan election work.

The coalition of groups sent its memo in response to President Joe Biden’s 2021 executive order directing federal agencies to promote voter registration, education, and participation, offering recommendations on how to implement it.

Nick Lee, deputy assistant secretary for higher education, shared the memo with Annmarie Weisman, another deputy assistant secretary, and Gregory Martin, another department official, emails show. Lee explained to Weisman and Martin that he had been discussing ways to implement Biden’s executive order with an Education Department policy director and that he was willing to speak further on the topic.

Lee also shared the memo with members of the Education Department’s Office of the General Counsel, again explaining that the department was in the process of finalizing responses to Biden’s voting executive order, emails show.

The Biden administration may have been receptive to at least one of the recommendations the coalition of left-of-center groups offered.

In April 2022, the Education Department clarified that universities could pay students with federal work-study funds to engage in election-related work. Although students may be compensated for voter registration work, they cannot be paid using federal funds “for work involving partisan or nonpartisan political activity, including party-affiliated voter registration activities, as this is expressly prohibited,” the department said.

In February, the Education Department expanded on the specific work that federal funds could cover, stating that “supporting broad-based get-out-the-vote activities, voter registration, providing voter assistance at a polling place or through a voter hotline or serving as a poll worker” were all acceptable.

Although Biden’s executive order stresses that agencies should tap “nonpartisan third-party organizations” to aid with voter registration efforts, the effects of registering more college students to vote could be a boon for the Democratic Party.

A September 2020 poll found that 70% of college students said they would vote for Biden in that year’s election, compared to just 18% who said they would vote for then-President Donald Trump. Strong turnout among college students in 2022 helped Democrats pull off a better-than-expected midterm election performance, NPR reported.

Heading into the November presidential election, Biden’s reelection campaign is seeking to mobilize college students.

The president held a 23-point lead over Trump among college students heading into the election, according to a Harvard Institute of Politics poll conducted in March.

The groups that sought to push the Education Department to mobilize more college voters themselves have ties to the Democratic Party.

The American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association, for instance, are both signatories of the memo and have spent millions of dollars to help elect Democrats through their political action committees, Federal Election Commission records show. Both groups endorsed Biden in the 2024 Democratic primary season and historically have supported the Democratic Party.

New America Foundation, which signed on to the memo through its education program, has received extensive support from the Soros family’s philanthropic network, pulling in millions since 2016, according to a grant database. George Soros himself has donated massive sums to Democrats and is one of the largest figures in the left-of-center philanthropic world.

The Voter Participation Center, another group that signed on to the memo, has received over $1 million from nonprofits managed by Arabella Advisors, tax filings show

Arabella Advisors is a consultancy firm that manages a network of nonprofits that spend millions every year on efforts to help liberal groups and Democrats.

The Voter Participation Center on its website claims to work diligently to mobilize members of the “New American Majority,” which includes people of color and unmarried women, to register to vote and cast ballots.

Republicans have taken issue with the Biden administration’s approach to using federal resources to juice voter participation.

“We have concerns about the lack of constitutional and statutory authority for federal agencies to engage in any activity outside the agency’s authorized mission, including federal voting access and registration activities,” a May 13 letter from the House Oversight Committee sent to Office of Management and Budget Director Shalanda Young reads.

The Education Department, New America, the Voter Participation Center, the National Education Association, and the American Federation of Teachers didn’t immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s requests for comment.

SICK: Ghouls at Cannes Film Festival Give Standing Ovation to Film “The Apprentice” with Trump Rape Scene

Iranian-Danish filmmaker Ali Abbasi unveiled “The Apprentice” at the Cannes film festival on Monday.

The film is about Donald Trump’s rise to one of the most successful ‘winners’ in the New York real estate game.

One scene shows Trump raping his wife Ivanna. Another shows Trump popping amphetamine pills and getting liposuction.

The ghouls at the Cannes Film Festival gave an 8-minute standing ovation.

““The Apprentice,” the story of the 45th and possibly 47th president’s early years as a real estate developer, earned a eight-minute standing ovation on Monday. It’s probably safe to assume that the film festival crowd isn’t a MAGA-heavy one, so it helps that “The Apprentice” paints a blistering portrait, focusing on Trump’s relationship with Roy Cohn, the McCarthy-ite lawyer and fixer who took an interest in the “the Donald” before he was a household name.” -Variety reported.

Variety reported:

In Ali Abbasi’s “The Apprentice,” Trump (played by Sebastian Stan) violently throws his then-wife Ivana (Maria Bakalova) to the ground and proceeds to have nonconsensual sex with her.

In the controversial scene, Ivana playfully presents a book to her husband about the merits of a female orgasm. But the interaction between the two turns dark quickly, as an uninterested Trump tells his wife that he is no longer attracted to her. They argue, and then Trump throws her to the ground. As he angrily thrusts himself into her, an icy Trump sneers: “Is that your G spot? Did I find it?”

Heading into tonight’s premiere, insiders insisted that the scene, which Variety previously reported on, was consensual but uncomfortable. But reactions within the Palais said otherwise. One woman in her 20s called the scene, which unfolds in the couple’s home after an argument, “gross” and referred to it as “rape” after the credits rolled. Another female attendee agreed, calling it a disturbing sexual assault.

The Apprentice team walked the red carpet in Cannes, a resort city in the French Riviera:

JUST IN: Environmental Protection Agency Warns Of Major Cyberattacks To U.S. Water Systems

The national security of the United States will remain in perpetual jeopardy until the installed administration is out of office. Joe Biden is the laughing stock of the world as America’s enemies are ramping up the attacks.

The Environmental Protection Agency has issued an enforcement alert urging water systems to take immediate action to protect the nation’s drinking water from foreign cyberattacks.

Cyberattacks against water utilities across the country are becoming more frequent and severe, the agency announced Monday.

EPA officials warn approximately 70 percent of utilities inspected by federal officials over the last year violated standards designed to mitigate cyber threats.

As nation-states including Russia and Iran have impacted water systems of all sizes, even smaller water systems are being urged to improve protection against cyber attacks.

Water systems typically rely heavily on computer software to operate treatment plants and distribution systems.

The cybersecurity waters are deficient, as those running the systems failed to change default passwords or bar system access to former employees, the EPA states in the alert.

The agency notes that a cyber attack on US water systems could result in damage to pumps and valves, interruptions to water treatment and storage, and alteration of chemical levels to hazardous amounts.

Image

EPA Deputy Administer Janet McCabe blasted water providers for the lackadaisical upkeep of cyber integrity.

“In many cases, systems are not doing what they are supposed to be doing, which is to have completed a risk assessment of their vulnerabilities that includes cybersecurity and to make sure that plan is available and informing the way they do business,” McCabe said.

Individuals and groups have targeted water provider’s networks for ages, often attacking websites. Now, attackers are targeting utilities’ operations and governments are intent on draining the supply of safe water to homes and businesses.

Image

China, Russia and Iran are “actively seeking the capability to disable US critical infrastructure, including water and wastewater,” McCabe continued. “We want to make sure that we get the word out to people that ‘Hey, we are finding a lot of problems here.'”

In January, a hack linked to a Russian “hacktivist” group caused a small Texas town’s water system to overflow.

“Cyber Av3ngers,” a group linked to the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, targeted multiple organizations including a small Pennsylvania town’s water provider late last year. The attack forced the water provider to switch from a remote pump to manual operations. The hackers were targeting a device produced by Israel and used by the utility on the heels of the latest Israel, Hamas war.

An estimated 150,000 community water providers serve small towns and cities nationwide.

On Monday, the White House sent a letter to US governors, warning that “disabling” cyberattacks targeting water systems are underway nationwide. The White House and the EPA invited state officials to a meeting slated for Thursday to address how to improve digital defense for the thousands of utilities.

The EPA is also establishing a waste sector cybersecurity task force to outline strategies to defend against the threat.

The letter also charged the Chinese-sponsored hacking group Volt Typhoon with targeting critical infrastructure sectors like drinking water in the U.S. as an example of the threat.

BREAKING: CAITLIN CLARK INJURED – After UConn Sends Out Bruiser to Take Her Down and She Hurts Her Ankle – UNREAL! …Update: Clark Returns and Scores 17 Points

WNBA star was injured on Monday after Connecticut ran a hard pick her way. The league is not making it easy for Caitlin Clark.

The WNBA superstar was injured tonight during the Indiana Fever game with the Connecticut Sun in Indianapolis.

Clark started out leading all scorers in the game with 8 points in the first quarter.

Despite her lousy teammates and a vicious league, Clark is setting scoring records in the league after just three games.

How Caitlin Clark Ranks in the WNBA so far:

Mins played – 97 (5th)
Assists – 17 (2nd)
Rebounds – 13 (22nd)
Points – 51 (7th)
F T % – 100% (Tied 1st)
3 P M – 9 (1st)
F G M – 16 (13th)
EFF – 40 (18th)

Dave Portney predicted a 30-point night for Caitlin Clark

Caitlin Clark has adjusted to the league. She’s gonna go for 30 tonight and if her teammates knew how to finish when she drops a dime in their face she’d be a walking double double #caitlinclark pic.twitter.com/Nka8fDOeDt

— Dave Portnoy (@stoolpresidente) May 20, 2024

But Portney forgot about how vicious this WNBA league is to their superstar.

On Sunday, New York Liberty star Brianna Stewart took Clark down. Stewart set a pick on Clark when she wasn’t looking and slammed her hard. Caitlin Clark crumpled to the floor.

Never seen a savior of a league get treated like this https://t.co/TXNEd4umbl

— Dave Portnoy (@stoolpresidente) May 18, 2024

It appears like the league is out to get Clark. Another nasty pick was on Clark tonight – And Clark was injured!

On Monday, Connecticut sent out a bruiser to take Clark down – just like New York did on Sunday.

Clark spotted the pick coming and twisted her ankle before the woman could take her down.

After Clark fell to the floor, the play continued, and she was almost stepped on as a girl ran past her.

Nice work, WNBA!

Caitlin Clark went to the locker room after suffering an apparent injury on this play.

She has since returned to the bench. pic.twitter.com/B00c5sd4YE

Caitlin Clark left the game for the rest of the half.

When she returned in the second half the refs were quick to call two BS fouls on her within minutes.

The WNBA is out to get Clark.

UPDATE: Clark came into the game after the half and is leading her team in points in the 4th quarter after not shooting only 11 points this game.

The reffing in these games are atrocious.

Indiana lost in a close game. The coach is really lost, too.

More Than Half Of US Voters Want Illegal Immigrants Rounded Up And Kicked Out: New Poll

Democrats may have effectively convinced their base during the Trump administration that building a wall and securing a border is racist.

But the Biden regime’s open border policies, in which illegal aliens from around the world are given free housing, transportation, the opportunity to vote,  and get-out-of-jail cards to reside in the United States indefinitely, is outraging voters on both sides of the aisle.

A whopping 56 percent of registered voters said most or all illegal aliens in the US should be rounded up and kicked out of the country, according to a new Reuters/Ispos poll.

The poll shows 36 percent of voters support incarcerating illegal aliens in detention camps until they are deported.

Ten percent surveyed were unsure whether they should be detained in camps.

More than half of Americans want to see mass roundups and deportations of undocumented immigrants

“Voters’ views on immigration align more with [Biden’s] predecessor, Donald Trump, who vows to crack down on migrants if he beats Biden in the 2024 presidential contest,” Daily Mail reports.

Pressed on the possibility of building new migrant detention camps, Trump maintains the deportation process for illegals will be so swift when he returns to office there will not be a need for building additional detention centers.

“I would not rule anything out,” the former president told TIME Magazine in April. “There wouldn’t be that much of a need for them, because of the fact that we’re going to be moving them out. We’re going to bring them back from where they came.”

“It’s possible that we’ll do it to an extent but we shouldn’t have to do very much of it, because we’re going to be moving them out as soon as we get to it. And we’ll be obviously starting with the criminal element.”

A staggering 85 percent of Republican voters said most or all immigrants in the US illegally should be deported, compared to 26 percent of Democrats and 61 percent of independents.

Some 62 percent of registered Republicans agreed, compared to 12 percent of Democrats and 35 percent of Independents.

Reuters conducted the online poll which surveyed  3,208 registered voters nationwide.

Democrat voters are even more agitated by the migrant crisis in major cities like New York. Another recent poll shows 75 percent of Democrat voters see the migrant crisis as “very serious” following an influx of 130,000 illegal aliens in the past year.

Meanwhile, as Joe Biden’s mental faculties ostensibly decline, the 81-year-old has welcomed migrants from around the world with open arms.

As soon as Biden took office, hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens were being provided yellow envelopes as they boarded planes to different states across the country.

Infowars reporter Owen Shroyer documented the massive influx of migrants and the illegal human trafficking operation at the southern border in March 2021, three months into the OBiden administration.

WATCH: 

Military aged males comprise the plurality of migrants flooding into the United States.

In the run-up to the election, amid an outcry of traditionally Democrat voters over the rampant illegal immigrant influx, the Biden regime is desperately toughening its approach to the border, pandering for political advantage.

According to agency statistics, ICE began to deport some of the millions that now reside in the US at the end of last year, removing 66,000 people from Oct. 1 to Dec. 31, 2023, the most aggressive attempt to deport the illegals, upholding the rule of law, by the Biden administration yet.

It remains unclear how many people are in the United States illegally.

Former MLB Pitcher Austin Maddox Among 27 Arrested in Florida Child Predator Sting Operation

Screenshot

Austin Maddox, a former pitcher for the Boston Red Sox, has been arrested in an underage sex sting in Florida, as confirmed by authorities on Monday.

Maddox is among 27 individuals apprehended during a coordinated effort by multiple agencies led by Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters last month. The individuals arrested are accused of soliciting sex online from persons they believed to be minors.

Below are some of the suspects arrested in the ‘Operation Valiant Knights:’

James Hill, Maddox’s defense attorney, stated his client’s intention to vigorously contest the accusations.

He will plead not guilty if formal charges are pursued, according to Hill per AP.

According to the arrest report, on April 28, Maddox initiated contact with an undercover officer who was posing as an underage girl.

Despite being informed by the purported minor of her age, 14, Maddox reportedly continued to express a desire to engage in sexual activity and arranged a meeting at a specified location. Law enforcement officers arrested him upon his arrival.

Dramatic footage released by the sheriff’s office captures the moment when officers tackled Maddox to the ground during the arrest.

“Maddox resisted arrest until our K-9 unit intervened,” the video narration explains.

Maddox faces multiple felony charges, including traveling to meet a minor after using a computer to solicit a child. He is currently held on a $300,000 bond.

CBS News reported: “Maddox played college ball for the University of Florida and was drafted by the Boston Red Sox in 2012. He made his major league debut with the team in 2017 after several years in the minors. According to Baseball Reference, he appeared in 13 games for Boston in 2017, throwing 17 innings. He spent about three months on the Red Sox roster before heading back to the minors to recover from shoulder injuries. He was released from the team in 2019.”

Additionally, one of the 27 individuals arrested in the operation was a school employee. Jax Today reported, “Duval County school maintenance worker Kevin Bryan Pearce is still jailed on $400,000 bail on five charges including coercing commercial sexual activity of an adult for human trafficking and traveling to meet a child after using a computer to solicit them, jail records show.”

Bidenomics in Full Effect: Iconic American Seafood Chain Red Lobster Declares Bankruptcy

The Gateway Pundit revealed last week that Red Lobster was in danger of bankruptcy after closing 127 locations in 27 states. Now, the famous seafood joint’s fall is complete, thanks mainly to Bidenomics.

As the Daily Mail reported, Red Lobster officially filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Sunday night. The chain revealed in a court filing late Sunday Red Lobster’s estimated assets are between $1 billion and $10 billion, while its estimated liabilities are between $1 billion and $10 billion.

Red Lobster also has more than 100,000 creditors.

The Mail notes the bankruptcy petition was signed by Jonathan Tibus, a corporate restructuring specialist who became Red Lobster’s CEO in March.

Tibus released a statement claiming that filing for bankruptcy is “the best path forward” and the company will emerge more robust as a result.

This restructuring is the best path forward for Red Lobster. It allows us to address several financial and operational challenges and emerge stronger and re-focused on our growth.

The support we’ve received from our lenders and vendors will help ensure that we can complete the sale process quickly and efficiently while remaining focused on our employees and guests.

NPR reports that roughly 580 locations in the U.S. and Canada will stay open through the process. These locations combine to employ approximately 36,000 workers.

Biden’s garbage economy has made dining out in America more expensive. Fast food prices, for example, have skyrocketed a whopping 33% since 2019 as Bidenflation continues to make the dollar more worthless.

Red Lobster launched an ill-advised $25 “endless shrimp’” promotion in a desperate attempt to attract customers. The offer was introduced last June as a permanent fixture on the menu.

More people took advantage of the offer than Red Lobster expected, but the company kept it going for six months.

The losses exceeded the $3.3 million lost under a similar promotion scheme in 2003.

Red Lobster was founded by Bill Darden in 1968. Darden wanted to make seafood restaurants more accessible and affordable for American families. He later sold the company to General Mills in 1970.

General Mills later formed Darden Restaurants, which has multiple other restaurant chains, including Olive Garden. They spun Red Lobster off in 1995.

Red Lobster currently operates 700 locations worldwide.

Biden, joined by Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, delivered remarks at a celebration for Jewish American Heritage Month in the Rose Garden at the White House.

As usual, Biden was a total disaster.

At one point Joe Biden said an Israeli-American who is still being held hostage by Hamas was at the White House.

“And here with us today is Hersh Goldberg-Polin…” Biden said before correcting himself.

What a disgrace.

Marco Rubio Humiliates NBC’s Kristen Welker After Left-Wing Gotcha Questions on Election Integrity (VIDEO)

Credit: @CitizenFreePres

Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) has come a long way from 2016 when he was destroyed by the morbidly obese RINO Chris Christie in a critical debate and branded “Little Marco” by then-candidate Donald Trump.

During a Sunday appearance on “Meet the Press” with leftist host Kristen Welker, Rubio discussed illegal immigration, abortion, and the 2024 election. Things got particularly heated when the discussion turned to election integrity.

Welker thought she could embarrass the Florida senator with a pair of gotcha questions. She started by trying to get him to commit to accepting the 2024 election results regardless.

Rubio promptly responded that Welker’s question was stupid and pointed out that it could be an unfair election. After Welker rudely interrupted her guest, Rubio pointed out that Democrats, including Crooked Hillary Clinton, have made a habit of refusing to accept election results.

Welker then felt the need to defend Hillary’s “honor” and falsely claimed Bill’s disgraced wife accepted Trump’s historic win. At that moment, things went south for Welker.

Rubio promptly responded by humiliating Welker with simple facts. He pointed out that not only did Hillary claim Trump’ win was illegitimate, but Democrats for years have been making outlandish claims about election fraud after being whipped.

The senator went on to share that many Democrats today are planning not to certify a Trump election victory by falsely claiming he’s an insurrectionist.

“Have you ever asked the Democrats this question on your show?” Rubio queried.

Rubio blows up Welker when she asks about ‘certifying the election.’

This how you you handle lying democrat media.pic.twitter.com/RGMs2VU9hk

— Citizen Free Press (@CitizenFreePres) May 20, 2024

Undeterred, Welker tried to trip Rubio up again by telling him he certified Joe Biden’s 2020 election “win.”

“So by your own definition, are Donald Trump’s claims (of vote-rigging) undermining election results?” Welker asked.

This gotcha question did not work either. Rubio flipped the tables on her again by pointing out some of the ways Democrats and the corporate media rigged the 2020 election.

“What undermines peoples’ confidence in elections is when you have places like Wisconsin where you had over 500 illegal drop box locations, Rubio replied. “(And) where you have places like Georgia where liberal groups are handing $10 (to vote Democrat).”

Welker tried to interrupt Rubio’s truth inferno, but he blew right past her.

“Listen, what undermines elections is when NBC News and every other major news outlet in 2020 censored the Biden laptop story, which turned out to be true, not Russian misinformation,” he continued. “You couldn’t even talk about it on social media, or people would de-platform you.”

“People look at all this. People look at what happened in Arizona when 200,000 ballot signatures did not match. People lose confidence.”

When Welker finally got a word in, she could not deny the inconvertible facts Rubio unleashed. Her only move was to lie to her audience by saying “nothing has been censored” on NBC and continuing to harp on Rubio’s vote.

Too many Republicans accept the corporate media’s narrative on a subject and are forced to play defense to appear likable. Whether or not Rubio ultimately becomes Trump’s running mate, having a sidekick with the talent to frustrate the left is a critical skill that can help make a difference on the campaign trail and in a VP debate.
