DoJ is 'considering giving Wikileaks founder
Julian Assange a plea deal that would
allow him to avoid extradition and plead
guilty to misdemeanor charge of mishandling
classified information'

Julian Assange is said to be in talks with the Department of Justice to plead guilty to a lesser offense and avoid extradition to the US, The Wall Street Journal reports. Unnamed sources cited by the Journal on Wednesday say the guilty plea would apply to a misdemeanor charge of mishandling classified information. The five years he has spent at Belmarsh Prison in the UK would count as time served, the sources said, and Assange would likely be freed shortly after the deal was finalized. Such a deal is yet to be approved, and would require the highest levels of approval in the DoJ. The Wikileaks founder, 52, has been

These days, finding a poll with good news for President Joe Biden and his fellow Democrats is harder than finding a politician in D.C. without their hands in your pockets. A recent survey found that most Americans can clearly see what the slew of indictments against former President Donald Trump is about, an issue that could spell trouble for Biden’s chances of winning reelection. The survey, conducted by McLaughlin and Associates, revealed that most respondents believe Biden is using the government against Trump through the justice system to skew the outcome of the upcoming presidential election. Interestingly enough, it is not only Republicans
HOUSTON — President Joe Biden made a stop in Houston on Thursday.
The president arrived just after 11:50 a.m. at Ellington Field and was greeted by Houston Mayor John Whitmire and Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo before heading to River Oaks for a private fundraiser.
Before his stop in Houston, Biden went to two fundraisers in Dallas. “There’s the old saying, ‘Why rob the banks? That’s where the money is,'" said Rice University Political Science professor Mark Jones. "In Texas, the money is in Dallas and in Houston.”
However, Jones believes the money will be spent almost entirely outside Texas.
“This is not about trying to flip Texas," he said.
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson says he plans to invite Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address a joint session of Congress.
What better way for Netanyahu to counter Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's completely inappropriate and disgraceful speech he delivered that encouraged Israel to hold an election while Israel is at war? Schumer most likely delivered that speech at President Biden's request. Biden doesn't have the nerve to be honest about his feelings about Netanyahu. He likes to point to several decades of friendship but privately he is stabbing Netanyahu and Israel in the back.

for Global Assassination Campaign Against Hamas? 3 replies
Good news if true, even it appears to be offered as an alternative to killing the last four Hamas brigades in Gaza. That certainly beats the ludicrous suggestion earlier this week from Joe Biden and his administration that the IDF could secure the Egypt-Gaza border to starve Hamas out of Rafah ... while the US airdrops food and medicine into the city.
But is this on the level? The Jerusalem Post reported it this afternoon, based on an earlier NBC News story:
American officials have seemingly greenlighted and supported the Israeli assassination campaign in Gaza and abroad, according to a report on NBC on Thursday, citing unnamed American and Israeli officials.
A federal judge ordered the FBI to release the writings of the transgender woman who shot and killed six people at a Christian school in Nashville on March 27, 2023.
In the hours after the shooting, Breitbart News noted that police indicated Audrey Hale identified as transgender.
Less than a month after the shooting, Breitbart News pointed out that Hale left behind a suicide note, 19 journals, and other items, and all of them have been kept from the public since the attack occurred. (The exception was a November 2023 leak of three pages, purportedly from the shooter’s writings. Seven Nashville police officers were put on “administrative leave” over the leak.)
If polling among Independent voters is any indication, Team Biden had better be very afraid. President Joe Biden, while riding in a statistical dead heat with former President Donald Trump, is not performing very well among Independents, a key voting bloc. Despite the full-on media propaganda campaign against the former president and the list of politically motivated indictments against him, Trump has managed to present a formidable challenge to the incumbent – even among voters who are not firmly in the MAGA camp. New polls reveal that Biden’s failure to win over independents might be one of the reasons why he can’t pull ahead of the Republican contender.
A White House valet who was with former president Donald Trump on the day Congress certified his 2020 election loss to Joe Biden told the House January 6 select committee that Mr Trump threatened then-vice president Mike Pence’s future political viability in a phone call just before Mr Pence was to preside over a joint session of Congress to count electoral college ballots.
According to a transcript of the interview of the unnamed White House valet, the valet overheard Mr Trump telling Mr Pence: “Mike, this is a political career killer if you do this” as the two men spoke by phone while Mr Trump was in the Oval Office.

NEW YORK — NEW YORK — The Wall Street debut of Donald Trump’s Truth Social network could give him stock worth billions of dollars on paper. But the former president probably will not be able to cash it out right away, unless some things change.
The longer-term outlook for the business is highly questionable. Trump's company has said it expects to continue losing money for a while, and at least one expert says it's likely worth far less than the stock market suggests. Trump's pending return to Wall Street comes down to a vote scheduled for Friday by shareholders of a company named Digital World Acquisition Corp., which at the moment
Seventy-one percent of Palestinians in both the Gaza Strip and the West Bank believe Hamas made the right decision in attacking Israel on October 7, according to a new poll conducted by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research.
The percentage of West Bank residents who support the Hamas attack has decreased slightly since December, when 82 percent of West Bank respondents said they agreed with the decision, though support for the terror attack has increased in Gaza, rising from 57 percent in December to 71 percent in March.
When asked whether “the war on Gaza since October 7 has revived international attention to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict

Angela Chao, a shipping CEO and sister-in-law to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, was drunk when she backed her Tesla into a pond and died last month in Texas, police say.
The Blanco County Sheriff's Office ruled Chao's death an "unfortunate accident," according to a report on the investigation released Wednesday. An autopsy was not performed on Chao, but a toxicology test revealed her blood alcohol concentration level was nearly three times the legal limit in Texas, the report said.
"The toxicology results indicated Chao had a blood alcohol concentration level of 0.233 g/100 mL," investigator Adam Acosta wrote. The state's legal BAC limit is 0.08.
Manhattan’s largest neighborhood school board district passed a resolution Wednesday night that could put the city’s policy allowing males to compete in female sports on the chopping block.
In an 8-3 vote, the Community Education Council District 2, which includes the Lower East Side to the Upper East Side, approved a measure forcing the city’s Department of Education to allow a public review and redrafting of its guidelines around trans participation in school sports. The vote followed a heated meeting attended by city council members, district parents, and transgender-identifying female actress Elliot Page.
School-board members Maud Maron, Allyson Bowen, Sabena Serinese, and Len Silverman co-sponsored the resolution. The measure demands
Alternate headline: 19 Senate Democrats Endorse Terrorism As Legitimate Exercise of Politics. How else to describe a memo signed by almost half of the Senate Democrat caucus calling on Joe Biden to be "bold" and unilaterally declare an intent to recognize Palestine as a sovereign state as a direct result of the war Hamas started on October 7?
And while Hamas still holds Americans hostage in Gaza, no less. Shouldn't Senate Democrats start with demands for their release?
Nineteen Democratic senators led by Tom Carper, a longtime ally of Biden from his home state of Delaware, wrote that the Middle East crisis had “reached an inflection point”

Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (KY) has reportedly told his colleagues to oppose the idea of term limits, which aligns with his past public statements.
A report from Axios said two sources indicated McConnell told Senate Republicans that “imposing term limits on the Senate leader is a bad idea during a Wednesday meeting about the direction of the conference”:
McConnell was one of several senators who spoke during an hour-and-a-half conference meeting, which was called by conservative Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.). McConnell spoke against imposing term limits for the top GOP position, calling it a bad idea,

The family of the teenage girl charged with violently assaulting Kaylee Gain says that she is the real victim who was 'harassed and bullied' before the viral incident – and are raising $150k for her legal defense, DailyMail.com can reveal. [SNIP] The girl's family says she 'deserves amnesty and a chance at forgiveness', adding that her 'fair trial hearing is being swayed'.
The girl has been charged with felony assault and is being held by St Louis Family Court, with a hearing expected in early April.
The US has issued a draft resolution to the United Nations Security Council calling for the immediate cease-fire between Israel and Hamas that would be connected to the release of hostages, Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced Wednesday evening.
“We’re pressing for an immediate ceasefire tied to the release of hostages. That would bring immediate relief to so many people who are suffering in Gaza – the children, the women, the men,” Blinken told Saudi media outlet Al Hadath.
EL PASO, Texas — A group of over 100 migrants attempting to enter the US illegally rushed a border wall Thursday, breaking through razor wire and knocking over guards in the process. The Post witnessed around 600 migrants amassed at the international border on the Mexican side, who the Texas National Guard were attempting to push back in small groups amid a ‘spring surge’ of migrants arriving to the southern border hoping to get asylum in the US. The situation grew tense as women and children were separated from adult males and video shows the migrants then crying out for help and rushing to the border gate
American cities across the country are experiencing a massive uptick in homelessness, but perhaps none more than Los Angeles, California.
Skid Row used to be confined to a one block area but now tents and other makeshift shelters can be seen throughout the city.
Billions of dollars have been spent trying to address this issue but it only seems to get worse, and now one member of the city council wants to create a new city department to focus on the problem.
How many more millions will be wasted as this new government entity fails to solve the problem?

Bus company Roadrunner Charters agreed on Wednesday to stop transporting migrants from Texas to New York City and surrounding areas while a lawsuit is pending.
The agreement is part of a stipulation in which the city agreed to defer pursuing more than $700 million incurred to care for all of the migrants bused to the city in the last two years. [SNIP] The lawsuit said the bus companies should be held liable for the city's costs of care.
President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign expanded its fundraising advantage in February, with plans to unload a barrage of ads against former President Donald Trump.
The Democratic president’s campaign account officially reported taking in $21 million in February, according to its report filed with the Federal Election Commission late Wednesday, ending the month with $71 million cash on hand. That left the Biden campaign and the Democratic National Committee with a combined $97.5 million cash on hand as of the end of February, more than double the $44.8 million in the bank between Trump’s campaign and the Republican National Committee. Those totals don’t include either side’s joint fundraising committees.
A TikTok influencer is advising his followers on how to 'invade' American homes and invoke squatter's rights, making it difficult for them to be removed from properties.
Leonel Moreno, who goes by @leitooficial_25 online and appears to be a Venezuelan migrant, has told his followers that under US law, 'if a house is not inhabited, we can seize it'.
He is referring to squatter's rights, or adverse possession laws - a common law principle that allows an illegal inhabitant to acquire ownership of a property based on continuous occupation without the legal owner's consent.
A former NBC executive who called Barron Trump 'fair game' on his 18th birthday has deleted the tweet after being accused of inciting attacks against the former president's son.
Mike Sington enraged followers yesterday with the post, with many reporting him to Elon Musk and X.
He has since removed it but is yet to apologize, instead telling Newsweek: 'I posted he was 'fair game' now, meaning, as an adult, he's 'fair game' for criticism from the press.
Two squatters are being sought over the gruesome murder of a 52-year-old woman whose body was found stuffed in a duffel bag inside her late mother’s upscale Manhattan apartment last week, police said Thursday. The victim, Nadia Vitel, was savagely beaten by the two perps when she discovered them holed up inside the 19th-floor apartment on East 31st Street last week, according to cops. Having just flown in from Spain, Vitel had gone to her late mom’s apartment — which had been vacant for roughly three to four months — to start prepping it so a family friend could move in.
