Democrats overwhelmingly selected former Vice President Kamala Harris as their preferred candidate in a Morning Consult poll released on Friday. Four months after losing the 2024 election to President Donald Trump, Harris led the competition in the survey in a mock 2028 Democratic primary and the results were not close. Harris, who has not announced any intention to seek another presidential nomination, led a pack of 19 candidates with the support of 36%. Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg came in second with 10% support. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom, and Democratic Minnesota Governor Tim Walz all
Should we feign surprise? Academia administrators spent most of the past two years surrendering to their own students, or at least the ones that looked scary ... while leaving all the rest to fend for themselves.
With that in mind, one has to look skeptically at Politico's claim that "universities are caving to Trump with a stunning speed and scope." They may be caving, but the speed and scope of their pusillanimity hardly seems stunning:
Colleges and universities across the country are capitulating to President Donald Trump with staggering speed, moving to slash progressive policies and crack down on student activism as they face compounding threats from an administration hellbent
For years, the left has advanced utter untruths for cheap partisan purposes that it knew at the time were all false. And now when caught, they just shrug and say they were lying all along. Once it was known that the first COVID-19 case originated in or near a Chinese communist virology lab engineering gain-in-function deadly viruses — with help from Western agencies — the left went into full persecution mode.
Have you seen Michelle Obama’s new look? Well, if you haven’t, take a seat…because it’s a doozy. She is basically unrecognizable these days.
Michelle has ditched the sleek, polished look of her White House years and embraced something… uh, very different.
This was Michelle thenāasnip)
Her latest transformation includes a massive, boxy suit coat and a wrinkled men’s dress shirt—both oversized to the point of absolute absurdity. She’s paired the rumpled manly look with three towering braided buns stacked on her head like a wacky faux hawk crown. (snip) more like a Nairobi used car salesman

It is a tale as old as time: a criminal identified for arrest and prison does everything possible to avoid contact with authorities. In recent years, many wanted criminals have fled their home country, destination: United States. On former President Joe Biden’s watch, fugitives from justice illegally entered and found sanctuary(snip
They are unworthy of our hospitality, yet leftist activists are in court trying to protect literal murderers and rapists from being deported.
When the Department of Homeland Security last week deported 238 illegal aliens and alleged members of Tren De Aragua, a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization, from the U.S. to a prison in El Salvador,
The battlefield for the new lawfare against President Donald Trump was quickly shaped when, within hours of the president’s March 15 executive order deporting alleged Venezuelan gang members, ACLU lawyers sympathetic to their plight filed a habeas petition in the D.C. District Court.
The ACLU is seeking to stop the executive branch from removing five plaintiffs. D.C. District Judge James Boasberg hastily took command and control over the latest iteration of lawfare, emergently agreeing to consider the case and issuing orders camouflaged in legitimacy. Judge Boasberg’s orders, actions, and reactions are laden with plain error.

Would Strip Rioting Students Of Visas
And Financial Aid replies
Rep. August Pfluger, R-Texas, believes that foreign national students who decide to scoff at the privilege of being in the United States by rioting and assaulting police officers should be stripped of their visas and financial aid, and likely be deported.
While the Trump administration has already taken steps to deport students like Mahmoud Khalil and professors like Dr. Rasha Alawieh who show sympathy for designated terrorist organizations, Pfluger believes all the benefits afforded to these foreigners should be statutorily removed when they show contempt for the United States.
Columbia University has caved to the demands of the Trump administration to restore $400 million in federal funding that was yanked over antisemitism on campus, according to a report Friday.
The Morningside Heights university — which had become the epicenter of violent anti-Israel protests — agreed to implement a mask ban and put new leadership in charge of reviewing curriculum for its Middle East, South Asian and African Studies department and Center for Palestine Studies, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing a memo to the administration. The school will also empower 36 campus cops to arrest students.
The Trump administration yanked roughly $400 million in grants
An illegal migrant gangbanger wanted for human trafficking became the first to be targeted for detention by the newly-invoked 18th-century Alien Enemies Act — which President Trump is using to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members without a hearing.
Homeland Security agents alongside Florida cops successfully collared “known Tren de Aragua gang member” Franklin Jose Jimenez-Bracho by “steering” him straight into a group of cops with handcuffs at the ready, authorities announced Friday.
Bracho is wanted for human trafficking, smuggling and is also the subject of a pending investigation.
“Once again, Florida leads the way,” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis wrote on X of the arrest.
A Kennedy Center employee was fired after making a Trump protest video that was mainly about himself – while naked, of course.
Travis Forsyth wasted 35 minutes in a video titled “Trump Declares War on Artists / Do I Quit the Kennedy Center?”
Lucky for him, the Kennedy Center made that decision very easy, and reportedly canned Forsyth who lamented his dilemma while nude with only a rainbow heart emoji covering his nether regions.
Forsyth took issue with Trump-appointed board members for the Kennedy Center with Trump being chairman of the board. Second Lady Usha Vance and Fox News host Laura Ingraham are also among those that triggered Forsyth.

for Beating Teacher in ‘Synchronized
Physical Attack’ replies
Two students in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, were arrested this week for allegedly beating a high school teacher in what police described as a “synchronized physical attack.”
The incident allegedly occurred at Dillard High School last Thursday when 19-year-olds Jayvis McClover and Roddrick McQueen approached a teacher and began “verbally threatening to attack him,” according to the Fort Lauderdale Police Department.
“The two, who are both enrolled at Dillard High School, then ‘intentionally launched a synchronized physical attack’ on the teacher,” per CBS News. “McClover and McQueen ‘repeatedly punched the teacher in the face and head with closed fists,’ causing the educator to fall to the ground, police said.”
German luxury auto manufacturer Audi said it is considering moving car production to the United States to avoid tariffs from the Trump administration.
Volkswagen’s subsidiary Audi brand said this week that it is examining various long-term strategies, including potentially shifting production to America, to deal with President Donald Trump’s restrictions on foreign imports.
Audi CEO Gernot Döllner said that the company is “currently assessing various scenarios for additional localization in North America – among other things, to be closer to the needs of local customers and to make ourselves more resilient to global economic uncertainties.”
Although no firm decision was made this week,
Miami Border Patrol Agents teamed up with ICE and local police to arrest ten illegal aliens in the last week. Each of these criminal aliens has convictions for sex offenses, including child sex offenses.
An enforcement operation involving Border Patrol agents from the Miami Sector, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials, and deputies from the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office led to the arrest of ten illegal aliens who were living in the Florida Keys. The criminal aliens had convictions for a variety of sex offenses.
During a recent appearance on Gavin Newsom’s podcast, failed Democrat VP candidate Tim Walz made the bombastic and ridiculous claim that he could ‘kick the a**es’ of most Trump supporters.
One Trump supporter has offered to take Walz up on his challenge.

When Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) took the stage at the annual Gridiron Club dinner Saturday night, he mockingly made mention of the thing Democrats have been buzzing about for months: his presidential ambitions. “If I actually wanted to be president, I wouldn’t do any of this,” Moore said. “Instead, I would take my case directly to the people who are in charge of our democracy: the Kremlin.” (Snip) “Wes Moore is the Captain America of Democratic politics,” said Jamal Simmons, a prominent party strategist who worked for former Vice President Kamala Harris. “He’s a veteran, an athlete and a

6 Pardons-Orders J6er Dan Wilson to Self
Surrender April 2nd replies
The fight for the freedom of January 6th defendants continues two months after President Trump issued pardons for over 1500 of them. Dan Wilson received his pardon, yet activist judge, Dabney Friedrich, is doing everything she can to see him behind bars.
Wilson has been fighting a case that is directly related to the January 6th-inspired FBI raid on his home. He was arrested after the FBI finished searching the residence, although he was not arrested for his attendance on January 6th.
Wait, what? Yes, the warrant was for J6 but he was arrested for another reason and NOT J6 (at the time).
The American military dependence on air power began with the Army using Curtiss "Jenny" biplanes in the Pancho Villa expedition, to overfly and report on Pancho Villa's forces. In World War 1 American pilots flew over the trenches and dueled German aircraft, the Americans mostly in French-built SPAD biplanes. But the United States air power came into its own in World War 2 when American aircraft capabilities exploded; we launched fleets of bombers to reduce the war capacities of the Axis powers to rubble and ruin, and protected those bombers with fighter aircraft that were, by the end of the war, unmatched.
That tradition is continuing.
As you may have heard, the stranded astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore spent nine months on the International Space Station stranded in space as they awaited a rescue that would never come. Elon Musk offered then-President Biden his own rocket to go and grab the duo, but Biden declined, (Snip) But, as it turns out, the astronauts being up in space for so long would have them build up overtime pay... if they actually qualified for it, which according to NASA's policies, they aren't. That's 286 days worth of extra time in space that they won't be compensated for.
Social media users are urging Elon Musk to take legal action against former Congressman Jamaal Bowman over comments the progressive Democrat made about him on CNN.
During a segment on “NewsNight with Abby Phillip,” the panel discussed the anger seen at GOP town halls. Former New York state Rep. Joe Borelli argued the town halls are being infiltrated by Democratic activists. The scenes are then used to create viral moments meant to be evidence of broad anger at Republicans among the populace. Bowman, who got the last word, used his time to falsely claim Musk is a Nazi.
“That's not true,” he said, referring to Borelli’s argument.
Johnson & Johnson announced Friday it plans to invest more than $55 billion in the U.S. over the next four years, the latest company to announce serious spending commitments since President Trump took office.
The J&J investment will go toward manufacturing, research and development, and technology, representing a 25 percent increase in investment compared to the last four years, the company said in a statement.
$55 Billion Investment Supports American Innovation & Manufacturing
In addition to the facility in Wilson, North Carolina, the Company’s increased investment in the U.S. over the next four years includes:
President Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order that would dismantle the Department of Education (DOE) and folks on the left aren’t too happy about it.
The executive order was met with much wailing and gnashing of teeth coming from Democrats who are upset at the prospect of the federal government no longer having overwhelming control of how states educate their children.
Sen. Elizabeth “Lieawatha” Warren (D-MA) published in a video shortly before Trump issued the order urging Americans to “stick together” and “fight back.”

WASHINGTON — President Trump reacted warmly Friday to a report that the US could be offered “associate membership” in the British Commonwealth.
“I Love King Charles. Sounds good to me!” the president wrote on Truth Social, linking to a report by the Sun that a proposal could be made by the monarch when Trump makes a state visit to the UK later this year.
The Commonwealth of Nations, established in 1926, has 56 member states, the vast majority of which are former colonies of the British Empire. (Photo) Among its members are Australia, Canada, India, Kenya, Malaysia, New Zealand, Pakistan and South Africa.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer admitted on PBS this week that Democrats intentionally stacked the courts with 235 “progressive judges” in order to stop President Donald Trump “time after time after time.”
Since President Trump triumphantly returned to the White House on January 20, 2025, his administration has faced an all-out legal assault — not from Congress or the will of the American people — but from a weaponized judicial branch hijacked by radical leftists.
In just under two months, President Trump has been hit with 132 legal challenges, with only two resolved.
And now, Chuck Schumer has admitted it all on national television.
Mexico’s Senate voted to approve a series of joint military exercises. In the coming days, 155 U.S. Marines will head south to train Mexican Navy infantrymen.
This week, Mexico’s Senate voted unanimously for the joint exercise, which calls for 53 Mexican troops to travel to California for training sessions. Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum, who is from the country’s ruling party, MORENA, pushed the move. Information by Mexico’s Naval Secretariat (SEMAR) revealed that the joint exercise is called Amphibian Phoenix 2025. In preparation for the exercises, Semar released a series of short videos showing
