Kash Patel took to X on Wednesday to announce a major breakthrough in the fight against public corruption. “Following efforts with our interagency partners, I can report that a career Director level employee at US Customs and Border Protection has been charged with allegedly attempting to defraud FEMA, as well as lying to federal agents,” Patel wrote. He continued, “This is part of the new FBI’s renewed efforts to crack down on public corruption and deliver accountability for the American people. Justice will be done.” A career Director-level employee at U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has been slapped with federal charges for allegedly scamming the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and lying

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced Thursday that the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) is launching an investigation into hiring issues at the FAA after a DEI activist was captured on voicemail promising to send screenshots of answers to candidates taking the air traffic controller exam.
Duffy made the announcement in a post on the X social media platform.
"I am launching a full investigation into the DEI hiring allegations at the FAA immediately," he wrote. "If true, swift accountability will come for those responsible. We need the best and brightest, not buzzword, DEI hires."
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has faced controversy over its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives.

President Donald Trump is reportedly set to invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to facilitate the mass deportations of illegal immigrants.
The president repeatedly vowed to take such action on the campaign trail and after he was elected last year. Now, it appears the plan will be set in motion, according to CNN White House correspondent Alayna Treene who reported the move in a post on X.
During his second inaugural address, Trump declared that, “By invoking the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, I will direct our government to use the full and immense power of federal and state law enforcement to eliminate

Briefing materials for President Barack Obama, subjects and times for White House Situation Room meetings and discussions about sensitive conversations with foreign leaders and even fallout from leaked National Security Agency intercepts were forwarded to Joe Biden's private pseudonymous email accounts when he was vice president, according to a new tranche of documents turned over to Just the News by the National Archives.
Security experts and lawmakers, who reviewed the records, said they were disturbed by the nonchalant transmission of sensitive government information to Biden's insecure private email accounts and believed it put national security at risk.

The blowhards at MSNBC’s Morning Joe should realize that continuing to shoot lies through their whitened tooth implants on the air about Elon Musk doesn’t make them any more true. What’s worse is that they don’t even attempt to be clever about it.
Both hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski were popping their brain corks over Musk’s March 10 interview with Fox Business host Larry Kudlow. Both just lied about the subject matter.
Fact check: False. The clip she played from the Kudlow show literally begins with Musk referring to “the waste report in entitlement spending” and noted that most of federal spending is entitlements — $1.56 trillion was paid out
The Department of Justice (DOJ) reportedly opened a criminal investigation Wednesday into New York City hotels operating as migrant shelters, focusing on their funding and management, according to multiple outlets.
A copy of a federal subpoena obtained by The New York Times and the New York Post, sent to Manhattan’s Hotel Chandler, reportedly shows prosecutors requesting testimony and evidence related to the migrant shelter program concerning an unspecified “alleged violation” of federal immigration law. Prosecutors also requested a full list of migrants currently residing at the hotel, including their nationality, dates of birth and identification numbers, according to the Times.
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is ordering an evaluation of the fitness and grooming standards of the U.S. military.
The departmentwide review will analyze all “U.S. military branches pertaining to physical fitness, body composition, and grooming, which includes but is not limited to beards.” The decision to review the military standards was announced in a release issued by the Department of Defense on Wednesday evening.
“We must remain vigilant in maintaining the standards that enable the men and women of our military to protect the American people and our homeland as the world’s most lethal and effective fighting force,” Hegseth said.
“Our adversaries are not growing weaker, and our tasks are not
Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett‘s sister Amanda Coney Williams received a bomb threat Monday, which came with the message, “Free Palestine.”
Barrett is the most recent Republican-appointed justice on the Supreme Court, nominated by President Donald Trump during his first term. Since her nomination, the court has ruled against federal abortion protections, affirmative action, and the Chevron doctrine, all of which Barrett was in the majority.
Williams is a lawyer in South Carolina. Police responded to an email reading, “I’ve constructed a pipe bomb which I recently placed in Amy Coney Barrett’s sister’s mailbox at her home. The device’s detonation will be triggered as soon as the mailbox is next opened.
President Donald Trump has threatened the European Union with 200% tariffs on alcohol after the EU announced a slate of tariffs on American products beginning next month.
Trump has used tariff threats heavily during the early part of his second term, but his tactics have not been without response from other countries. The EU announced a 50% tariff on whiskey, a measure Trump decried as “nasty” in a Truth Social post announcing the tariff threat.
“The European Union, one of the most hostile and abusive taxing and tariffing authorities in the World, which was formed for the sole purpose of taking advantage of the United States, has just put a nasty

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration introduced a sweeping number of new diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives under the Biden-Harris administration, a report released Wednesday found.
NASA enacted various DEI-related efforts over the past four years, including issuing guidelines to its staff on ways to better support any employees going through “gender transition,” and introducing coursework that heavily promoted diversity, according to a new report from OpenTheBooks.
The government agency also spent hefty sums on DEI-related contracts between 2021 and 2024, such as shelling out $2,366,122 to LMI Consulting to “incorporate and deeply engrain” DEI and accessibility “in the culture and business” of NASA alongside an additional $182,281 for “diversity training.”

Democrat governors have a “resistance” playbook created for them that includes draft executive orders to defy the administration’s immigration policies as well as instructions on deploying the National Guard.
The Governors Action Alliance, a Democrat organization that founded the group Governors Safeguarding Democracy, provided such guidance to the staffs of Democrat governors across the country after the election of President Donald Trump.
The 126 pages of the playbook—including emails, talking points, and a “Firewalling for Freedom – Template Gubernatorial Executive Order”—were obtained in a public records request from the office of Pennsylvania Gov.

George Soros gave $7.6 million to one of five groups accused of targeting Elon Musk’s Tesla company, The Post has learned.
Tesla cars, Cybertrucks, dealerships and charging stations have been set on fire, shot at and sprayed with graffiti across the nation in acts of politically charged vandalism since Musk’s new Department of Government Efficiency started making government cuts.
While the motives behind individual attacks vary, Musk has identified certain groups who organized protests against him and his company.
“An investigation has found 5 ActBlue-funded groups responsible for Tesla ‘protests’: Troublemakers, Disruption Project, Rise & Resist, Indivisible Project and Democratic Socialists of America,” he said in a recent X post.
The federal government’s latest data showed that President Joe Biden’s deputies exploded the foreign-born share of the United States by at least 8.3 million, up to a record 15.8 percent, or one in six people.
“The January 2025 household survey is the first government survey to be adjusted based on a new methodology developed by the Census Bureau to better estimate migration,” said Steven Camarota, the chief researcher at the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS).
“The January data shows the foreign-born grew an unprecedented 8.3 million in the last four years,” he said.

Democratic strategist James Carville declared Wednesday on Fox News Channel’s “The Story” that the Trump administration was “in total meltdown.”
Carville said, “Total meltdown!’
Carville said, “I think people are afraid to death. They see markets collapsing! They see people calling Mark Kelly a traitor. They see disorder everywhere. You know, Trump was going to bring the price of eggs down from day one.”
He continued, “We can’t call the Enola Gay, the Enola Gay. I mean, what’s coming out of Washington would scare the living bejesus out of anybody, independent, Republican or Democrat. This administration is in total meltdown, in total collapse.”

Washington — A federal judge in California ordered six federal agencies to reinstate probationary employees who were fired last month, finding that their terminations by the Office of Personnel Management were unlawful.
U.S. District Judge William Alsup in San Francisco handed down his order in a challenge brought by a group of unions against the Trump administration from the bench. He said that neither OPM nor its Acting Director Charles Ezell had the authority to direct the terminations across agencies.
The order extends relief to fired workers at the Departments of Veterans Affairs, Agriculture, Defense, Energy, Interior and Treasury.

SAUGATUCK, Mich. — Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is set to announce that he will not seek an open U.S. Senate seat in Michigan, a move that leaves the door wide open for him to seek a much bigger role as his party’s next presidential nominee. Since his role in the Biden administration ended in late January, Buttigieg has spent months considering his next move, including a serious look at the unexpectedly open U.S. Senate seat in Michigan, where he relocated in recent years. But many prominent allies he consulted believed he could not realistically pursue the Senate seat while
A new four-lane highway cutting through tens of thousands of acres of protected Amazon rainforest is being built for the COP30 climate summit in the Brazilian city of Belém. It aims to ease traffic to the city, which will host more than 50,000 people - including world leaders - at the conference in November. The state government touts the highway's "sustainable" credentials, but some locals and conservationists are outraged at the environmental impact. The Amazon plays a vital role in absorbing carbon for the world and providing biodiversity, and many say this deforestation contradicts the very purpose of a climate summit.

American Federation of Teachers honcho Randi Weingarten’s sudden outrage over Team Trump’s plan to abolish the federal Department of Education is simply about losing her own power and influence — not any risk to the kids.
America’s “competitors — and adversaries — are no doubt cheering President Donald Trump’s plan to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education,” Weingarten asserts in an MSNBC column, pretending the DOE “helps give all children in the United States access to the great public school education they deserve.” [snip]
“A gutted department would mean fewer teachers, more crowded classrooms and increased mental health and behavioral challenges for students,” she lies.
President Donald Trump's nominee to lead the agency overseeing Medicare should divest financial ties to healthcare and pharmaceutical companies that could benefit from his policy decisions, Democratic U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren said on Wednesday.
Television personality and surgeon Dr. Mehmet Oz is scheduled to appear on Friday before the Senate Finance Committee, on which Warren sits. The panel will hold a confirmation hearing for his nomination to be administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, a wide-reaching agency with annual spending of $2.6 trillion.
In a letter addressed to him seen by Reuters, Warren called on Oz to divest from his financial holdings related to industries regulated by the agency

If failed vice-presidential candidate and current Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) made his intention to run in 2028 any clearer, it'd require him to rip his shirt off and paint it on his chest. He's clearly working toward a presidential run after faceplanting with Kamala Harris, and his strategy appears to be shouting and screaming his way to the nomination.
I'm less than convinced that will pay off for him, but here we go. America's finger-wagger-in-chief is on the case of Department of Education cuts, and he's furious at President Donald Trump about it.
The Trump administration has ordered the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to pause federal funds to the University of Maine System (UMS) over the state’s refusal to protect women’s sports.
The UMS holds a network of eight public colleges in Maine—the state’s “largest educational enterprise,” according to the UMS website, with an annual enrollment of nearly 30,000 students.
As Breitbart News reported last month, the president signed an executive order to “re-write federal Title IX education rules to withhold federal funds from schools that allow transgender athletes to play as females.”
The 36 million who watched President Donald Trump's address to Congress also watched as Congressional Black Caucus member, Rep. Al Green, shook his cane and shouted at the president.
When he refused to desist, Speaker Mike Johnson ordered him removed from the chamber.
Two days later, in a bipartisan vote, the House censured Green.
The Congressional Black Caucus stood in firm support of Green's actions and, in their own move to disrupt, CBC members sang "We Shall Overcome," an anthem of the Civil Rights Movement, as Johnson read the censure on the House floor. When they refused to stop disrupting, the Speaker gaveled the session to recess.

It's not widely known, but over HALF of Columba University's enrollment is now foreign students. Some of them are people like Mahmoud Khalil, who spent all his time agitating in support of Hamas terrorists. But if you dig deeper, the true story is even more appalling: Columbia is using the prestige of its elite undergraduate school to bring in thousands of mediocre foreigners who want a Columbia degree in computer science, engineering, or a similar field. Columbia admits them because they pay full-freight tuition, boosting their bottom line while glutting the American job market and lowering wages for STEM workers.
