Islamic extremists are planning to bomb the Eurovision Song Contest venue in Sweden next month in protest at Israel taking part, it was claimed last night.
Undercover reporters from an Israeli news channel said they were told by guards at the biggest mosque in Malmo – the city hosting the event – that terrorists are plotting to attack the arena where the five-day contest will be held.
Posing as Muslim British tourists, the reporters claim the security guards warned them not to attend the event as it will 'explode'.
One added: 'Don't go there, don't go there. They will blow it up.'
Biden, It Was YOU!

In previous decades, it was customary for sitting presidents to refrain from berating and criticizing the work of previous presidents, but Joe Biden has never been one to engage in human decency. Thus, from the onset of his presidency, he has relentlessly scapegoated President Trump to deflect criticism of his nearly four years of failed leadership.
With a presidential election six month away, it is time to highlight Biden's failed policies and lay blame where it belongs: at the feet of the current occupier of the White House.
It was not President Trump who refused to enforce our immigration laws. It was YOU!

Iran issued a warning to the United States on Saturday after it launched dozens of drones against Israel in an unprecedented attack.
“Stay away,” Iran threatened the U.S. in its mission to the United Nations. "It is a conflict between Iran and the rogue Israeli regime, from which the U.S. MUST STAY AWAY!," the statement continued, arguing that its attack on Israeli forces was a “legitimate defense” and a “response” to the Israeli strike that happened earlier this month in Damascus, Syria.
The strike touched down near the Iranian embassy, killing two senior officers
Democrats counting illegal immigrants in the U.S. census is “all about power,” Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN) said during an appearance on Breitbart News Saturday, detailing the real reasons why the left is allowing the southern border to run amok.
Earlier his year, Hagerty and his colleagues pushed an amendment that would have barred illegal aliens from being included in the count that determines the census, which affects how many congressional districts each state has. They were trying to fix a problem former President Barack Obama expanded upon, he continued, as the former president took away the question on the census of whether or not a person is an American citizen.
Hollywood star Michael Douglas said playing Benjamin Franklin when the Founding Father was 70 is giving him hope that 81-year-old President Joe Biden isn’t too old to serve another term.[Snip] “I was immediately struck. Like, 70 years old—in England or in America in 1800, the average lifespan was 39 years old. I think it gave me great faith in Joe Biden, and was a reminder that we can go on a lot longer than we thought,” the actor said. His comments come amid widespread concern on both sides of the political divide that Biden is too old to be president.
A fired up Donald Trump raged against the hush money case against him at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, just days before he becomes the first former president in U.S. history to stand trial on criminal charges.
'Two days from now, the entire world will witness the commencement of the very first Biden trial,' Trump said speaking to a rancorous crowd of supporters.
'I'm proud to do it for your. Have a good time watching, have a good time watching' Trump said. The 77-year-old ex-president was in Schnecksville, PA outside Allentown where he rambled for roughly an hour on a wide range of topics
Kansas Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly has vetoed legislation that would have banned gender-affirming care treatment for minors.
“This divisive legislation targets a small group of Kansans by placing government mandates on them and dictating to parents how to best raise and care for their children,” Kelly said in a statement Friday, announcing her veto. “I do not believe that is a conservative value, and it’s certainly not a Kansas value.”
She added that the bill goes against parental rights and that the government should not be in "between a parent and a child who needed medical care of any kind.”
Donald Trump has claimed that White House staff had to convince President Biden not to release a pre-recorded message following attacks on Israel by Iran.
The former president added that if he was commander in chief 'this would never have happened' in a number of posts made to his Truth Social platform.
Trump said: 'Biden's handlers convinced him not to release his taped speech on Israel. He'll now attempt to do it live.' Another post said: 'Biden, on Israel, didn’t do his “Address to the People” LIVE. He taped it. This is no time for taped speeches!!!'
Unconfirmed reports had circulated shortly after news broke of the Iranian drone attacks that
World-renowned golfer Scottie Scheffler is strongly repping his Christian faith, making headlines with a powerful statement ahead of this year’s Masters Tournament: “I believe in Jesus.”
The 27-year-old athlete, who has been ranked number one in the world for over 80 weeks, went viral on social media after delivering some heartfelt remarks during a press conference on Tuesday. (X Video) When asked about how much golf “defines” him, Scheffler said that it’s a “selfish” sport so he hopes it doesn’t make up too much of who he is. Instead of being defined by his great career, he’s centered around his faith.
A Gen Z UConn basketball player described what it was like meeting Joe Biden at the White House after winning last year’s NCAA title.
According to the NCAA champ, Joe Biden had no idea what was going on.
“Took a picture with Joe Biden — a team picture. Joe Biden talked to us for about three minutes and then right after that, he asked us for a picture again…” UConn’s Donavan Clingan said.
“What did he say in that 3 minutes?” a friend asked Donavan Clingan. “Completely ignored Coach Hurley. I really couldn’t understand what he was saying…” he said.

President Trump arrived in Pennsylvania earlier, where he is set to deliver remarks at a campaign stop in the town of Schnecksville, located north of Philadelphia.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Biden, too, will be in Pennsylvania next week for multiple low-energy campaign events after taking the weekend off at his home in Rehoboth Beach. After one day at the White House and campaigning in Pennsylvania next week, Biden will return to his beach house for another weekend.

The U.S. military has shot down an unspecified number of drones fired by Iran targeting Israel, according to a defense official.
Iran launched a significant number of drones and missiles toward Israel on Saturday in retaliation for an Israeli airstrike that killed a senior Iranian military leader at the Iranian Consulate in Damascus, Syria. The attack, which Iranian leaders had threatened to carry out since the April 1 strike, is ongoing as of Saturday night and into the early hours of Sunday. “In accordance with our ironclad commitment to Israel’s security, U.S. forces in the region continue to shoot down Iranian-launched drones targeting Israel,” the official said. “Our forces remain
A new poll by Axios and Noticias Telemundo found that 42% of Latino Americans support building a wall or fence along the entire U.S.-Mexico border. When pollsters asked the same question in December 2021, the number was 30%. That’s a significant increase as the border crisis created by President Joe Biden’s policies worsens.
It’s also a more severe action than virtually anyone is now proposing. The border is about 2,000 miles long, but some of that is physically impassable and does not need a wall. Former President Donald Trump proposed building a wall on about 1,000 miles. That was enough for many Democrats to unite in hysterical opposition. Now, the Latino
A fair wage advocacy group is demanding that California’s new $20 minimum wage law for fast food workers be extended to all sectors to help working-class people who are struggling with the state’s high cost of living. (Snip) Fast food workers winning a $20 minimum wage, she said, “was just the beginning.” Jayaraman pointed to the exorbitantly high cost of living in the Golden State where, in some counties, an individual would need a $40 an hour salary to live comfortably. “People are leaving the state or are not having children, not having families. These are all the very basics
Ahead of Iran launching dozens of drones towards Israel, President Joe Biden on Friday made clear the US would help defend its ally.
“We are devoted to the defense of Israel,” he said from the White House. “We will support Israel. We will help defend Israel and Iran will not succeed.”
The US has forces in Iraq and Syria that could potentially intercept drones en route to Israel, depending on the location from which they’re launched. US Navy forces in the Red Sea have previously intercepted long-range missiles launched from the Houthis in Yemen towards Israel.

AMMAN: The Jordanian Civil Aviation Regulatory Commission on Saturday announced that Jordanian airspace will be closed “temporarily” for inbound and outbound flights in light of rising regional risks.
The commission said in a statement that the decision has been taken to ensure the safety and security of Jordanian aerospace in light of the rising escalation and after assessment of the potential regional risks.
Stopping short from giving further details on the source of these risks, the commission said that Jordanian airspace would be closed to all incoming, departing, and transiting flights temporarily starting from 20:00 UTC, 11:00pm local time, for several hours
Was the garbage prosecution of President Trump in Georgia something Kamala Harris cooked up with her best bud Fani Willis?
That's what congressional investigators are seeing.
According to Raw Story, citing Newsweek: Embattled Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis met with Vice President Kamala Harris before she indicted Donald Trump in his election interference case, according to a lawyer who shared White House records during a Georgia Senate hearing.
The meeting, according to Attorney Ashley Merchant's testimony, took place on February 28, 2023, just months before Willis indicted Trump in August of that year, Newsweek reported.
According to a new poll, fewer than one in four Americans have a favorable opinion about the federal government.
The Pew Research Center released data from their American Trends Panel survey on Thursday, which found only 22 percent of adults have a positive opinion of the federal government.
Pew reports, “State governments get mixed ratings: 50% of adults have a favorable opinion and 49% have an unfavorable view. This reflects a 4-point decline in favorability since 2022 and a 9-point decline since 2019.”
Additionally, “61% of adults rate their local government positively. But this, too, is down from 66% in 2022 and 69% in 2019.”

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher said that it’s wrong to argue that pro-life people are sexist, and pro-lifers believe abortion is “murder, and it kind of is. I’m just okay with that. I am. There [are] 8 billion people in the world, I’m sorry, we won’t miss you. That’s my position on that.”
Provost of King’s College, Cambridge and Financial Times columnist Gillian Tett said that it’s odd that abortion is such a big political issue when there are other issues. Maher responded, “Well, not if you believe it’s murder. That’s why I don’t understand the 15-week thing or the — Trump’s plan is

Joe Biden left for his beach house in Delaware on Friday, despite the threat of a potential attack on Israel by Iran hanging out in the wind. Before he left, his last public comment was to warn Iran, "Don't," then saying we would stand with Israel.[Snip] Now, it sounds like something may be up, because suddenly the word is that he's coming back to D.C. "White House says President Biden is returning to the White House from Rehoboth Beach, Del. this afternoon to consult with his national security team about events in the Middle East," Fox's Lucas Tomlinson announced.
Bloomberg's Jennifer Jacobs confirmed it, and said it was to "monitor" events.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has been strongly pro-Second Amendment during his tenure. He has signed into law Florida's new Constitutional Carry law, among other pro-gun actions and advocacy. Now he has come out swinging against the Biden administration's new "gun show loophole" rule.
Gov. Ron DeSantis has come out firing against President Joe Biden’s move to close the so-called “gun show loophole,” framing the executive action as a misrepresentation of the issue, an attack on Second Amendment rights to firearms, and certain to be struck down by the judiciary.

Haunted by election spoilers of the past, President Joe Biden's Democratic allies have mobilized against Robert F. Kennedy Jr., intent on stopping his independent presidential bid from dooming Democrats in November.
On the 2024 campaign trail, Biden has ignored Kennedy, the anti-vaccine activist and son of deceased liberal icon Robert F. Kennedy, as he focuses solely on Donald Trump, the former president and presumptive Republican nominee. But behind the scenes, the Democratic National Committee recently hired a team of attorneys, led by Dana Remus, Biden's former White House counsel, to monitor Kennedy's efforts to get his name on ballots of key battleground states before upcoming spring and summer qualifying deadlines.

Gen. Omar Bradley is often credited with the saying, “Amateurs talk strategy. Professionals talk logistics.” The Biden administration does neither.
In September 2022, we argued that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s “Arsenals of Evil” — North Korea and Iran — couldn’t help the Kremlin retrieve its faltering position in Ukraine.
We were wrong.
We didn’t factor in Washington throwing in the towel after Putin’s “special military operation” was on the ropes.
The two rogue states, each as anti-American as it gets, are providing Putin with drones, artillery and cruise missiles to defeat the United States and our NATO allies in Ukraine, all while pursuing their nuclear weapons programs unabated.
WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden is catching up to former President Donald Trump’s polling lead, highlighting just how close the 2024 presidential election will be, according to a new poll from the New York Times and Siena College.
Trump leads Biden by just one percentage point with both men at 46% and 45% respectively. The survey is a significant boost for the incumbent president who has been lagging behind Trump in recent polling. An earlier New York Times and Siena college poll released in March saw Trump leading Biden by 5 percentage points at 48% and 43% respectively.
But Biden appears to be shoring up

Boards, Seizes Cargo Ship ‘Linked to
Israel’: Report replies
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps seized a cargo ship said to be “linked to Israel,” Iranian state media reported Saturday.
The Portuguese-flagged MSC Aries vessel was boarded near the Strait of Hormuz between the United Arab Emirates and Iran and was being transferred to Iran’s territorial waters, according to state news agency IRNA. The ship is said to be operated by the Zodiac shipping company, which IRNA linked to Israeli businessman Eyal Ofer. However, Zodiac stated the ship is managed and operated by U.K.–based shipping company MSC.
Video footage shows IRGC commandos rappelling from a helicopter onto the ship.
An Islamic terrorist went on a stabbing rampage in a Sydney mall, killing at least six people and stabbing a nine-month-old baby in the process. There was little doubt of the motive given the attack happened outside an Israeli restaurant in a Jewish neighborhood. Clear pictures of the attacker have also been released along with several videos. At one point, the terrorist was confronted by a lone hero, holding him off from continuing to stab people with what appears to be a pole or a bat. A police officer arrived on the scene and dispatched the attacker, though it's unclear how long it took for the response to arrive. Unfortunately,
Augusta National Golf Club, home to the prestigious Masters Tournament, is undergoing ambitious expansion. The club has doubled the size of its course, spending over $200 million to purchase properties covering 270 acres, The Wall Street Journal reported.
The club has substantial plans, including parking, housing and even the construction of a second 18-hole course down the road. Despite the buying spree, which has made many Augusta, Georgia, residents instant millionaires, one family is saying no, thank you.

The U.S. has flown in over 400,000 migrants from a host of countries since President Joe Biden took office, according to Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
Under the Biden administration’s CHNV program, some nationals hailing from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela can be eligible to come to the United States “in a safe and orderly way” and obtain humanitarian parole status, meaning they are here legally and can obtain work authorization. Over 400,000 migrants hailing from these nations have been flown into airports across the U.S. as of March, CBP said in a statement on Friday.

Joe Biden and the Democrats have to be pulling their hair out with the indications that a significant percentage of black voters may be abandoning Joe Biden. Indeed, there was even a poll that just came out from the Wall Street Journal that indicates that some black men are tossing him over for former President Donald Trump, with 30 percent of black men saying they are definitely or probably going to vote for him. If that number is true, Biden has to know that he's in deep trouble.
New York City has a serious and growing problem with empty office space. Between rising crime, high taxes, and the crazy rules of the pandemic a few years ago, people have fled the city in huge numbers.
Now the city is home to a record number of empty office buildings. The lack of revenue from these properties has got to be hurting the city’s bottom line and the policies of the current mayor are not helping.
Who would want to spend millions of dollars to open a new office in Manhattan right now?

New York police took custody of an unlicensed firearm belonging to anti-Trump activist E. Jean Carroll following a report from The National Pulse. (snip)
During the trial, Carroll informed the federal court in lower Manhattan that she kept the firearm, a “high standard revolver, nine chambers”, along with ammunition at her home, next to her bed. She also admitted to not possessing a firearm license. (snip)

The stock market was down sharply again today, as a result of fears of resurgent inflation. Inflation is second only to senility as a threat to Joe Biden’s campaign, and the campaign is desperate to find an answer. How desperate? They plan to blame Donald Trump:
On Wednesday, after the latest inflation data showed an unexpected acceleration in price gains, Mr. Biden again tried to assure voters that he is focused on bringing down the cost of groceries, housing and other staples of everyday life, saying in a statement that “fighting inflation remains my top economic priority.”
Thanks to the wonders of Bidenomics, the average American is spending over a thousand dollars extra a month. Fortunately, Biden is focused on important things — like funding jihad supporters in Gaza and paying off student loans with taxpayer money the government cannot spare.
Fox Business highlighted the $1,069 cost increase compared to three years ago before Joe Biden’s disastrous economic policies drove up inflation higher than Hunter Biden smoking Parmesan cheese. Inflation has allegedly fallen since 2022, but the context for that statement is that inflation is still rising, just at a supposedly slower rate — inflation went up about 18% under Biden
Exactly two weeks after Disney more or less cried uncle and agreed to a settlement with the State of Florida in its lawsuit over the Parental Rights in Education bill and a few months after Governor Ron DeSantis’s (R-FL) presidential campaign came to an end, Disney-owned ABC had a surprisingly laudatory segment on Thursday’s Good Morning America as they praised DeSantis for “com[ing] down on hard on” porch piracy and retail theft.

Former President Donald Trump gave House Speaker Mike Johnson a political lifeline Friday amid discontent with his leadership among conservatives in the House, saying, “I stand with the speaker, we’ve had a very good relationship."
After a week filled with political setbacks for both men, and as Trump faces the first of four potential criminal trials beginning Monday in Manhattan, two of the country's most powerful Republicans met at Mar-a-Lago to unveil voting legislation they hope will put Democrats on the defensive, even as critics say it’s based on a false premise.

About 2 1/2 years ago I wrote a post titled "California plans to kill the residential solar industry." At the time, I had just had solar panels installed on my roof to save money and within months California announced a new plan (Net Metering 3.0) that would have taxed me and anyone else who owned a rooftop solar system for owning the panels. I predicted that if this plan passed, California's rooftop solar industry would fall off a cliff.
The result of Net Metering 3.0 is likely going to be the end of the residential solar industry in California. I have a neighbor who was interested in possibly getting
