Venezuela announced Saturday it had reached an agreement with Washington to accept additional deportation flights from the United States, one week after more than 200 Venezuelans accused of being gang members were sent to El Salvador.
The flights were suspended last month when US President Donald Trump claimed Venezuela had not lived up to its promises, and Caracas subsequently said it would no longer accept the flights.
But then Washington deported 238 Venezuelans accused of belonging to the Tren de Aragua gang, which Trump has designated a foreign terrorist organization, to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador, a move deeply criticized by Caracas.
Australian universities are crying foul after the Trump administration asks questions that put $386 million in research grants in jeopardy. The bone of contention was a questionnaire sent to Australian grant recipients asking if the institution had "ties to communist or socialist parties, receive funding from China and it only recognises male and female sexes." The grants were frozen in January, shortly after President Trump was inaugurated, but were unfrozen at some time thereafter. This new round of questions is the second time the universities were queried, but this time, it has their attention.
The only thing Chuck Schumer knows about antisemitism is how to spread it. Since the Hamas attack on Israel two October ago, Schumer — the senior senator from New York — has systematically ignored the rapid rise of Jew-hatred across America and obstructed any attempt to mitigate it.
Oh, but don’t worry — his new book, “Antisemitism in America: A Warning” will save us!
Thank God for Chuck; without him, Jews would have no idea anything terrible was going on. For someone who is the self-proclaimed “guardian” of the Jewish people (he loves saying that), Schumer sure has a funny way of showing it.
Former First Lady Michelle Obama is surprised that her school lunch program proved to be so controversial.
Obama made the remarks during an appearance this week on the Not Gonna Lie podcast with Kylie Kelce, asserting that her decision to make a difference with school lunches — and her overall “Let’s Move” initiative — was “strategic” in nature.
“I was trying to be strategic about aligning my agenda with something that was important to the West Wing. And I thought, ‘There’s no way that anyone is going to take issue with trying to make school lunches healthier, getting kids more active,'” she said.
WASHINGTON — The dustup over the future of the Democratic Party and how lawmakers should blunt President Donald Trump’s grip on Washington showed little signs of abating this week, with Sen. John Fetterman, of Pennsylvania, still playing a central role.
Former Democratic Congressman Conor Lamb, who finished second to Mr. Fetterman in the state’s 2022 Senate primary, accused the senator on Friday of “collaborating with — rather than fighting” the president and his Republican Party, which controls both chambers of Congress. Mr. Lamb said Mr. Fetterman — who has slammed Democratic protests of Trump and last week voted in favor
A Joint federal operation conducted in the Washington, D.C., Metro area led to the arrest of 14 members of the notorious Venezuelan Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang. According to Michael W. Banks, Chief of the United States Border Patrol, authorities also arrested one illegal alien suspected of being a member of the Salvadoran Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) gang.
On Friday, Banks announced the results of the operation that specifically targeted suspected gang members involved in ongoing criminal activity. In addition to the 15 illegal aliens suspected of being members of the TdA and MS-13 gangs, one firearm was recovered. The operation into gang activity in the nation’s capital
The Disney Grooming Syndicate’s woke remake of Snow White is already shaping up to be a box office bomb.
This dreadful bastardization of Walt Disney’s 1937 masterpiece starring Rachel Zegler opened on 4,200 screens this weekend, cost $270 million to produce, around another $100 million to promote, and will only open to about $45 million.
For context, Tim Burton’s live-action remake of Dumbo opened to $46 million in 2019 and went on to gross $115 million domestic and $353 million worldwide. It cost $100 million less than Snow White and is not only considered a box office bomb but is, so far, the lowest grosser from this round of Disney live-action remakes.
Across the country, unhinged leftists are “protesting” Elon Musk by attacking Tesla owners and damaging vehicles owned by private citizens.

Katrina Szish, a Newsmax host and former Vogue Editor, reveals what we already know. The politics of an unhappy and bitter Editor has kept First Lady Melania Trump from appearing in Vogue Magazine.
Szish joined Meghan McCain’s podcast to share that Vogue Editor Anna Wintour’s “deep political bias” has kept the most stylish First Lady in history from appearing on the cover.
Meghan McCain: I want to ask you just a question on the background of Vogue. So I am like, I like dabble in fashion. I love fashion. I dabble in fashion, but I wouldn’t call myself a fashionista because when it gets right down to it,
Europeans and Canadians are all over Twitter, claiming they’re changing their travel plans because it’s supposedly not safe to visit the U.S.
But the truth is, nothing has changed when it comes to safety. As long as they enter the country legally and don’t violate the terms of their visas or residency permits, they’ll be just fine.
The other groundless narrative the media are pushing is that visitors to the U.S. are being detained at the border simply for criticizing President Trump. The claim is that anti-Trump messaging was found on people’s phones. However, if you enter the U.S. legally, through a proper border crossing with valid documents,
In a much-welcome surprise on a Friday, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the termination of the Biden immigration policy known as CHNV parole, which flew in hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela for years, despite the potential risk to national security and dangers to the American people.
Fox News' Bill Melugin shared the news on Friday evening via his X account: [Tweet]
He wrote:
BREAKING: The Trump admin is revoking the legal status & work permits for the more than half a million migrants who flew into the U.S. via President Biden’s controversial CHNV migrant flights mass parole program.

As CNN Hit Piece on Marco Rubio Completely Unravels replies
Earlier, we wrote about a CNN hit piece that claimed without evidence that Sec. of State Marco Rubio was miffed because he was allegedly being "overshadowed" by Steve Witkoff, who is the United States Special Envoy to the Middle East and a longtime close friend of President Donald Trump.
"Over the first two months of the second Trump administration, Rubio has in some ways taken a back seat on the world stage to Witkoff," CNN reported, "whose portfolio has expanded beyond his official title of special envoy to the Middle East."
In response to the story, Rubio went off, tweeting "CNN is an anti-Trump gossip tabloid
You knew the minute Senior Advisor to the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) Kari Lake announced that the administration was effectively shutting down the “Voice of America” that the lawsuits would come quickly. That's how things work in Washington, D.C., these days.
And like clockwork, Voice of America reporters, Reporters Without Borders, and others joined forces to file suit Friday in the U.S. District Court in New York. Lake accuses the outlet of becoming a leftist propaganda outfit:
The case, filed in U.S. District Court in New York, was brought by Voice of America reporters,

El Salvador’s president, Nayib Bukele, is in agreement with President Trump that activist judges in the U.S. need to be reined in.
After the president called for the impeachment of the judge who ruled against his deportation plan, Bukele issued a response, which has since gone viral, racking up 158 million views at the time of writing.
“The U.S. is facing a judicial coup,” he wrote on X, with many in agreement. [Tweets]
Apparently referring to Judge James E. Boasberg of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Trump made the case for impeachment.

The terror attacks on Tesla are despicable, of course, but they can hardly be called surprising. And they should be roundly condemned by both political parties, and indeed, all Americans. But as Robby Starbuck so rightly wrote, “Democrats could condemn terror attacks on Tesla with a simple statement released by the party, and elected Democrats could release individual statements about it but they haven’t done so.” Why? Starbuck continues: “Any decent person would but they REFUSE [his emphasis]. This tells me that they want this domestic terror” (“X” post, 3/19/25).
And he is exactly right.
I'm pretty sure that even living under a rock, you've heard about what's been going on with Teslas. The company is, overall, fine though the stock price is tumbling slightly. Dealerships and ownership, however, have been taking a hit. The source is that leftists are firebombing and shooting up dealerships and vandalizing people's cars, sometimes in the most disgusting way possible.
And that's just one of many ways things are ugly.
But what's telling from the left isn't that they're just shrugging off the violent nature of some of these attacks, nor the destruction of private property.

On Friday’s broadcast of NewsNation’s “Cuomo,” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said that the anti-Tesla violence and property destruction are wrong, “And this is the kind of civil disorder that has been unleashed in the country and licensed by Donald Trump, who pardoned more than 1,500 insurrectionists, including hundreds of people who violently assaulted our police officers.”
Host Chris Cuomo asked, “[P]eople burning Teslas, I think they’re acts of terrorism. And I don’t hear Democrats trying to grab some high ground here and say, who’s doing this? Who’s doing this? This is not America.
A former FBI agent who played a key role in opposing President Donald Trump’s first term has now been charged with disclosing confidential information, raising serious concerns about the integrity of law enforcement agencies and their political neutrality. This troubling development underscores the pattern of misconduct within the FBI under previous administrations, where partisan bias has influenced critical decisions.
FBI agents arrested Jonathan Buma, a 15-year veteran of the agency, at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City. Buma stands accused of printing approximately 130 classified FBI documents and messages, which he then allegedly shared with associates
President Donald Trump made headlines this week by continuing deportation flights of illegal immigrants, including members of the violent Tren de Aragua gang, despite a federal judge’s ruling that attempted to halt the practice. [Snip] For too long, judges have operated under the assumption that their authority is limitless, that elected officials must bow to their rulings no matter how far they stray from the Constitution. [Snip] Even the Supreme Court has recognized the dangers of this judicial overreach. In Trump v. Hawaii (2018), Chief Justice John Roberts warned lower courts that they do not have the authority to micromanage national security decisions made by the executive.
To say that the radical left’s relentless attack on presidential authority has gotten out of hand is an understatement. Activist judges at the district court level have been using nationwide injunctions as weapons to sabotage the Trump administration. While Trump is confident that this will ultimately get sorted by the Supreme Court, something worse may be happening with these rogue judges.
A lot of attention has been focused recently on U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, who's attempting to handcuff President Trump's efforts to protect Americans from dangerous foreign criminals. Well, it turns out that this Obama-appointed judicial activist is now trying to lay the groundwork for yet another bogus impeachment attempt.
FIRST ON FOX: President Donald Trump's administration’s use of Elon Musk's DOGE to cut USAID spending is having a deep impact on the United Nations Department of Safety and Security (UNDSS), according to internal U.N. emails shared with Fox News Digital. ...president of the U.N. Field Staff Union, Milan Victor Dawoh wrote that the USAID funding cut resulted in "approximately $30 million" having been "removed from the extra-budgetary (XB) resources, resulting in a significant reduction in staffing."

President Donald Trump dismissed media reports on March 21 regarding a planned briefing for Tesla CEO Elon Musk about a potential military conflict with China, saying he won’t show such intelligence to the businessman or anyone else.
Musk attended a morning meeting at the Pentagon that went for about 80 minutes. The New York Times cited two anonymous U.S. officials who said Musk would receive a classified briefing with top military officials about the U.S. plan for any war with China, which both Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Musk have denied.Trump (snip)“But I don’t want to show that to anybody, but certainly, you wouldn’t show it to a businessman
The mainstream media hasn’t gotten over Trump's 2024 election victory, where he dominated both the electoral college and popular vote while sweeping every swing state. But they're missing the real story: traditionally blue states are showing cracks in their Democratic foundation.
Take New Jersey, for example. The Garden State, which Trump lost by a whopping 16 points in 2020, nearly flipped in 2024. Kamala Harris barely squeaked by with a five-point margin—a seismic shift that has Democrats sweating bullets. And according to recent polling, this wasn't just a one-time scare for the left.

I really want to trust Lindy Li, the high profile 34-tear-old Democratic influencer and fundraiser who switched to Team Trump while votes were still being counted in California.
But I have reservations. And I have one very specific reason why.
In the last two months, Li has been all over the internet. Her breakout interview on the Shawn Ryan show a month ago has garnered more than 3.5 million views and over 30,000 comments. A subsequent interview with Patrick Bet-David netted 2.5 million. As Bet-David noted, “A lot of people want to know, is she straight up, is she real?”
Maybe, maybe not. Li is smart, sweet, charming, and so seemingly vulnerable
The deep-red state of Florida has been, for some time, trying to return almost a billion dollars in federal funding to the federal government. Too many ideological strings attached, you see. According to Governor Ron DeSantis, the Biden administration (as should come as a surprise to no one who hasn't been living in a cave for the last four years) wasn't able to figure out how to accept the money back. A quick conversation between Governor DeSantis, Elon Musk, and the DOGE team fixed all that. (X) The X post reads in full:
The president of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Félix Tshisekedi, has reached out directly to President Donald J.

According to a letter obtained by The Wall Street Journal, President Tshisekedi offered Trump exclusive mining opportunities through the newly launched U.S. Sovereign Wealth Fund, a Trump-led initiative aimed at reshaping global investment through pro-American partnerships.
Rep. Celeste Maloy (R-UT), an establishment Republican in the House that Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) warned voters about last cycle, is now unleashing on President Donald Trump by subscribing to leftist pablum that the United States is somehow off the rails and that the “executive branch” Trump oversees needs to be brought “under control.”
Maloy’s comments reportedly came during a town hall event in Salt Lake City, which she hosted with Rep. Mike Kennedy (R-UT), according to the Associated Press (AP). The congresswoman later claimed in a social media post that she does not think the U.S. is moving towards authoritarianism.
Dallas rapper Yella Beezy has been arrested and charged with capital murder in the shooting death of fellow rapper Mo3 on a busy interstate in 2020, according to court records.

I'm not suggesting Elon Musk took my advice when I said he should consider suing Jamaal Bowman, but I'm not denying it either.
As I wrote on Friday, Bowman launched into a deranged rant against Musk, accusing him of being a "thief" and "nazi." It was so bad that CNN's Abby Philip had to jump in and give a disclaimer at the end, stating that his opinion was his own. BOWMAN: That's not true, and this shows again, the American people do not trust Elon Musk, and Elon Musk is incompetent in his position. And how do we know? Because they fired tens of thousands of people,
The globalist prime minister of Australia, who has a history of anti-Trump bashing, is now reportedly devastated that Donald Trump cut U.S. funding to Australian universities.
Leaving aside the obvious fact that American taxpayers shouldn’t be funding any foreign universities, it is amusing to note how leftist foreign leaders with a track record of sneering at and criticizing Americans are suddenly panicked by the loss of American money, either via grant terminations or tariffs. Apparently we were supposed to be the world‘s wallet endlessly, no matter how much other nations abused and used us.
Columbia University has agreed to cede to Donald Trump's unprecedented demands in negotiations over $400 million in federal funding that the administration revoked earlier this month.
Columbia has agreed to "ban masks, empower 36 campus police officers with new powers to arrest students and appoint a senior vice provost with broad authority to oversee the department of Middle East, South Asian and African Studies as well as the Center for Palestine Studies," reports the Wall Street Journal. In addition to the nine Trump's demands that the university had to meet before talks on restoring the $400 million in cuts could begin, the university has agreed to make additional efforts
Liberals are in full-blown panic mode over President Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Democrats in Congress are hysterically crying “constitutional crisis,” while unhinged activists are lashing out at Tesla vehicles and showrooms—all because Elon Musk dares to support cutting government waste. Conservatives have long suspected there’s a deeper reason why the left goes berserk over efforts to rein in reckless spending. Now, the New York Times has accidentally said the quiet part out loud—the left’s political machine is fueled by your tax dollars.
President Donald Trump’s approval rating has ticked up to 51 percent, according to a Rasmussen Reports poll published Friday.
The survey of 1,500 likely voters shows a one percent increase for Trump compared to the figures the polling outfit released in their daily tracking poll on Thursday. While 51 percent approve, 47 percent disapprove of his performance. The president has not fallen below 50 percent approval during his presidency, according to data dating back to January 23.
The poll’s margin of error is ± 2.5 percent.
While Trump enjoys positive marks from the American public for his performance,
The Trump administration will be revoking the legal status of hundreds of thousands of Latin American and Haitian migrants welcomed into the U.S. under a Biden-era sponsorship process, urging them to self-deport or face arrest and removal by deportation agents.
The termination of their work permits and deportation protections under an immigration authority known as parole will take effect in late April, 30 days after March 25, according to a notice posted by the federal government.
The move will affect immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela who flew to the U.S. under a Biden administration program, known as CHNV, that was designed to reduce illegal immigration

A panelist on MSNBC fretted Friday that the Trump administration’s decision to begin abolishing the Department of Education (ED) would make it impossible to forgive student loans. President Donald Trump signed an executive order directing Secretary of Education Linda McMahon to start shutting down the agency she heads Thursday, fulfilling a campaign promise, while announcing Friday that student loans would be handled by the Small Business Administration (SBA). MSNBC analyst Susan del Percio told MSNBC host Alex Witt that Trump was trying to “privatize” student loans.

Tiger Woods reportedly gave his ex-wife, Elin Nordegren, a heads up that he is dating Vanessa Trump.
The golf superstar called the mother of his two children around late December or early January and the two had an “awkward” but “civil” exchange, the Daily Mail reported Friday.
“It was a pleasant, almost friendly conversation,” an insider told the outlet. “Her response at first was like ‘Seriously? A Trump? For real?.” (Photos) The source added that Nordegren, 45, was “more amused than anything. But she really quickly just accepted it.”
The source claimed that Woods, 49, had told his ex-wife about his past girlfriends ever since they divorced in 2010
In a significant shift, Columbia University has agreed to implement policy changes in response to demands from the Trump administration, marking a victory for the president’s viewpoints within higher education. The changes, which address concerns over free speech and ideological diversity on campus, come after sustained pressure from the administration, signaling a growing influence of conservative values in academic policies. The move is expected to have broader implications for how universities balance political discourse and academic freedom.
