Judge James Boasberg issued an oral order demanding that planes carrying Venezuelan gang members, who were not even a party to the lawsuit before him and over which he did not have jurisdiction, be turned around in international airspace. Boasberg is now infuriated that his mere utterance, not even set down in writing, was not immediately obeyed. Democrats and their media have taken to crying that any disobedience of Boasberg, who was appointed by Barack Obama to apparently rule not only the entire country, but the planet and all its airspace, is a “threat to democracy” and a violation of checks and balances.
FBI Director Kash Patel, who also serves as acting director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, has outlined plans to move as many as 1,000 ATF agents to the FBI, cutting ATF’s agents by more than a third, three people briefed on the plan told CNN.
The move represents a major cutback of the ATF, an agency that long has been in the crosshairs of gun rights groups that believe its work infringes on Second Amendment rights. The ATF has about 2,600 agents and more than 5,000 employees, a number that has remained largely unchanged for years.
The move is expected to begin
CAIRO/JERUSALEM, March 23 - An Israeli airstrike at a hospital in Gaza on Sunday killed five people, including a Hamas political leader, Palestinian medics and Hamas said, in an attack Israel said had targeted a key figure in the militant group.
The Gaza Health Ministry said the strike hit the surgery department at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis. The Israeli military said its attack followed extensive intelligence and used precise munitions to minimize harm at the site. Hamas said a member of its political office, Ismail Barhoum, had been killed.
Israel's defence minister, Israel Katz, confirmed the target was Barhoum. The military did not name the target, which it

Democrats have pushed back after Elon Musk claimed that social security operates like a "Ponzi scheme" as he continues to argue for cuts to the federal bureaucracy, but one expert tells Fox News Digital that Musk is on track with his criticism of the agency.
"Musk’s statement about Social Security being the world's biggest Ponzi scheme does have validity," James Agresti, president of the nonprofit research institute Just Facts,... [Snip] "What it does is, it transfers money when we are young and working and paying into Social Security taxes,"... "That money, the vast bulk of it, goes immediately out the door to people who are currently receiving benefits.
Two of the top conservative thinkers in America are Ben Shapiro, the head honcho of The Daily Wire, and Morton Blackwell, the lead dog of the Leadership Institute. Shapiro is more famous, but Blackwell is probably more influential: The Leadership Institute has been around since the late 1970s, training tens of thousands of conservative activists. Included amongst its alumni are GOP senators, congressmen, governors, cabinet members… and at least one PJ Media writer (Hi!).
As for Shapiro, he’s matured into a leading voice for conservatism. His proficiency with social media is widely admired (and often copied), but seldom equaled. Of all the voices in media, he’s the closest thing
We may well be witnessing the passing of a torch just now in the Democratic Party. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the former bartender from New York, and Bernie Sanders, the daffy old Bolshevik from Vermont, have been making some appearances together. We may well presume that the "daffy Bolshevik" torch is being handed off, from a failed carpenter to a failed bartender.Or, at least, we might have thought that, until Bernie appeared on ABC's "This Week" and, when asked if he thought AOC should run for the Senate, appeared about to storm out of the room, calling it a "nonsense question."
Now why would he do that?
National security adviser Mike Waltz said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that President Donald Trump was working towards “full dismantlement” of Iran’s nuclear program.
Partial transcript as follows:
MARGARET BRENNAN: Good morning and welcome to “Face the Nation.” There is a lot to cover on the home front, but we begin first on national security. In just a few hours, U.S. officials will be holding talks with Ukraine, and tomorrow a separate round with Russia, in pursuit of a 30 day cease fire. In the meantime, the Trump administration is ramping up the U.S. military presence in the Middle East, sending a second aircraft carrier
Executive orders and administrative agency rules going back to the 1960s required businesses contracting with the U.S. Government to engage in “affirmative action.”
That was the euphemism of the day for racial discrimination. They couldn’t just call it “racial discrimination” because that term had, naturally and appropriately, developed a negative connotation. It suggested a world where people were judged not by the content of their character, but the color of their skin.
Over the ensuing decades, that euphemism “affirmative action” developed a similar negative connotation.

Ivanka Trump has captivated the internet with a video she posted to Instagram showing off her Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu skills.
The 43-year-old beauty made the video with the Valente Brothers’ studio in Miami.
Wearing a blue belt, the First Daughter does chokeholds, armbars, knife disarms and throws with her instructors Joaquim, Pedro, and Gui Valente.

She flips an instructor onto the mat, secures a chokehold, and disarms a simulated knife attack.
Tesla owners can activate a security measure on their vehicles called "sentry mode," which can help deter or even bust threats in the wake of widespread vandalism targeting Elon Musk’s electric car company. Sentry mode, when enabled, keeps the cameras and sensors of the vehicle powered on and ready to record suspicious activity that happens nearby.
"Think of Sentry Mode as an intelligent vehicle security system that alerts you when it detects possible threats nearby," according to the Tesla Model 3 owner’s manual.
Then-President Ronald Reagan was widely mocked by Democrats in 1983 when he proposed a “Star Wars”-like weapons system (the Strategic Defense Initiative aka SDI) designed to prevent the United States from attack. Many years later, some of the technology developed was incorporated into Israel’s famed “Iron Dome” defense systems—to great effect, as the weapons have been able to knock down countless missiles and projectiles lobbed into the Jewish state by its many enemies. Donald Trump took notice, and he wants such a system for the entire United States—the “Golden Dome”—and defense officials are preparing to show the president preliminary plans
Defense secretary Pete Hegseth recently floated the idea of renaming the Department of Defense, suggesting a shift toward a more robust and assertive identity that reflects America's commitment to national security. As the Trump administration continues to push back against the growing influence of political correctness in the U.S. military and government institutions, Hegseth's proposal resonates with those who believe it’s time to refocus on strength, readiness, and the defense of American values. In an X poll, Hegseth asked the public for their opinion
The University of Maine system has agreed to exclude men from women’s sports to maintain its federal funding.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced the university’s compliance in a press release earlier this week.
“After the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) initiated a Title IX compliance review regarding federal funding, the University of Maine System (UMaine) has clearly communicated its compliance with Title IX’s requirement to protect equal opportunities for women and girls to compete in safe and fair sports, as articulated in President Donald J. Trump’s Executive Order,” the department’s press release said.

President Trump has some advice for former foe Kamala Harris if she runs for California governor next year.
“Let her run,” Trump, 78, told OutKick’s Clay Travis during an interview Saturday when asked about her future. “I don’t want to be [giving] people advice politically, but one thing she’s gotta start doing is she’s gotta start giving interviews.
“[Former President Joe Biden] — during the COVID thing, he did no interviews, and he got away with it because of COVID.” (Photo) Since her defeat against Trump in November, Harris, 60, has been rumored to be mulling three main options about her political future:
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has called a snap federal election on April 28, claiming he needs a strong mandate to address President Donald Trump’s tariffs.
Speaking in Ottawa on Sunday, Carney said the elections, which are not due until Oct. 20, should be pushed up in the face of the Trump administration. (Photo) “We are facing the most significant crisis of our lifetimes because of President Trump’s unjustified trade actions and his threats to our sovereignty,” Carney said.
“He wants to break us so America will own us. We will not let that happen,” he added.
According to a new statewide survey from DecipherAi, conducted by veteran pollster David Wolfson, a staggering 48% of likely California voters are now open to voting for a Republican governor in 2026.
That’s right—nearly half the state is ready to ditch the Democrats’ stranglehold on power.
That opportunity may be closer than anyone expected. California’s Republican voter registration sits at just 25%, but a near-majority now says they’re willing to cross party lines if it means real change.
The polling was conducted from March 6 to 9 among likely November 2026 voters.

A murder suspect accused of strangling a Georgia mother of five in a random attack last week is a Honduran illegal immigrant who was caught and released at the southern border by the Biden administration in March 2021, Fox News has learned.
David Hector Rivas-Sagastume, 21, has also been the subject of a deportation order since July 2023, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said.
Rivas-Sagastume is charged with capital murder in the death of Camilia Williams, a 52-year-old mother of five and grandmother. Her body was found dumped in a wooded area, authorities said.
The recently self-deported actress and comedian Rosie O’Donnell is taking her conspiracy theories to Ireland.
In an interview with Irish television channel RTE 1, O’Donnell was asked by the host about whether she respected the decision of the American people.

O’Donnell responded:
Well, I respect their right to do that.

In my new film, The Climate According to AI Al Gore, I expose the foundational lies of climate science of Al Gore, the godfather of the climate change movement.
Because of Gore, today, governments worldwide spend billions on carbon dioxide reduction policies.
It all began in 1992 when Gore published his climate emergency manifesto, Earth in the Balance, where he claimed that carbon dioxide was dooming the planet and called for environmental control to become “the central organizing principle for civilization.”
Then, in 2006, with the release of his film An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore’s climate change movement exploded.

In the grand theater of American politics—where narratives are spun faster than a carnival Tilt-A-Whirl—you’d think the Left’s daily barrage of so-called scandals would’ve finally dented President Donald Trump’s public standing.
They’ve tried everything.
He’s been “at war” with judges. (Translation: he disagreed with them.) He’s received the cold shoulder from Maine’s frigid Governor Janet Mills. (I mean, if eye rolls could freeze, she’d be a glacier.) Mayors of Chicago and Boston have taken turns acting like they’re starring in a Broadway musical about defying federal law. And just for flair, leftist radicals from coast to coast are torching Teslas like it’s a new Olympic sport.
And yet—Trump’s approval rating?
Congressional Republicans are turning up the heat on Chinese influence in the U.S. with new legislation aimed at shutting down Chinese "police stations" operating across the country. These covert outposts, reportedly set up by the Chinese Communist Party, are part of a more significant effort to monitor and intimidate Chinese nationals and dissidents living in the U.S. The proposed bill seeks to counter these foreign operations, which many lawmakers consider a serious threat to American sovereignty and national security. The move underscores growing concerns over China's expanding reach on U.S. soil and its efforts to interfere in American affairs.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) claimed Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that in 2026, congressional Republicans “will feel like rats on a sinking ship.”
Host Kristen Welker said, “Some Democrats are saying they want leadership to show more fight in this moment. They think that’s what’s required and you were instrumental in urging President Biden out of the 2024 race when he wasn’t convinced. I’ve had conversations with Democrats who says this moment feels similar. Are you making the same mistake that President Biden did?”
Schumer said, “No absolutely not. I did this out of conviction. in my caucus we have a disagreement
Police said a former U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia was found dead early Saturday.
The individual was identified as 43-year-old Jessica Aber, NBC Washington reported. The outlet noted authorities are still investigating the cause and circumstances of her death and a determination will be made by the Chief Medical Examiner of Virginia. In a statement regarding the case, the Alexandria Police Department said officers responded around 9:18 a.m. to the 900 Block of Beverly Drive following a report about an unresponsive woman.
“Liberty or death!” That was the stark choice that Patrick Henry proposed to his fellow Virginia delegates 250 years ago today. It was a challenge the Founding Fathers and the Revolutionary Army accepted, and thus a new nation was born.
How remarkable that it has been two and a half centuries since a small group of farmers, shopkeepers, politicians, mariners, and slaves banded together into a ragtag army to take on the world’s most powerful empire on behalf of liberty. The Revolution was years in the making, but electrifying speeches from fiery Patriot orators in the months leading up to Lexington and Concord spurred the political conflict to a military crisis,
Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” Trump border Czar Tom Homan said they will follow court orders while targeting criminals for deportation.
Host Jonathan Karl said, “You said, I quote, I don’t care what judges think. Now, I know you have since said that the administration will abide by court orders. We heard Donald Trump say the same thing. So what do you mean when you say, I don’t care what judges think?”
Homan said, “I don’t care what that judge thinks as far as this case, we’re going to continue to arrest public safety threats and national security threats. We’re going to continue to deport them from the United States. I understand
The radical Left's latest scheme to derail President Trump's America First agenda has reached a fever pitch, with over 100 frivolous lawsuits filed against his administration since January. But Trump isn't taking their lawfare lying down.
In a bold move that should have Democrats and their army of activist attorneys panicking, Trump directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate anti-Trump lawyers and law firms attempting to hamstring his presidency through baseless litigation. The timing couldn't be more critical, with an unprecedented 15 injunctions slapped against presidential actions just last month—far more than Obama or Biden ever faced.
A 'white gold' mine containing $540 billion in treasures has been discovered at the bottom of a giant lake in Southern California.
The Salton Sea, which is the largest lake in the US state was being studied by scientists as part of research funded by the Department of Energy. The study aimed to find how much lithium, also known as 'white gold due to its white sand-like appearance, was at the bottom of the huge body of water..
Just days after a tidal wave of criticism hit the Department of Justice (DOJ) for doubling down on its claim that firearm suppressors – or silencers – are not protected by the Second Amendment, something strange happened. Pam Bondi, the current Attorney General, may be changing course. According to William Kirk, attorney and host of Washington Gun Law, the turnaround came surprisingly fast. In a matter of hours, the DOJ filed a motion asking for a delay in a high-stakes federal case involving suppressors – United States v. Peterson. The filing, submitted to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, asked for 30 more days to “reconsider” the government’s previous position.

History records this of the famous Nixon Watergate scandal.
In the summer of 1972, as an American presidential election featuring incumbent Republican President Richard Nixon and Democrat Senator George McGovern swirled, two young, green Washington Post reporters, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein by name, learned of a break-in at Washington’s Watergate Hotel and office complex. A break-in at the offices of the Democratic National Committee.
Neither was happy at their new assignment that had them looking into this. It was too much like the run-of-the-mill petty crimes each had already spent time investigating. Besides, the two had never worked together on a story before.
Someday a good Disney remake will come … but this isn’t it. The modern Disney Co. shouldn’t have remade “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” — it has lost the innovative genius, the artistry, and the appreciation for Western classics that made Walt Disney’s original film one of the most iconic and beloved movies of all time.
Yes, I know, everyone is tired of hearing about Rachel Zegler, the Wokest of Them All, but since the original Snow White (still one of the highest grossing films of all time) is a personal favorite of mine and it’s the weekend, let’s examine what used to make Disney movies great,

During the event the media pen was behind us in this room of maybe 100 people. A lot of Governors, including Ron DeSantis of Florida, Greg Abbott
President Trump knew legal challenges would be filed against his policies and executive orders. He’s prepared, and his team is willing to fight every frivolous lawsuit and unlawful order, especially the ones issued by rogue district judges. He should ignore the rulings, but he won’t; the administration plans to go through the appeals process, as annoying as that may be for rulings that clearly show judges are violating the separation of powers.
The president has an attorney general who is in his corner, too. His latest directive to Ms. Pam Bondi is to investigate the legions of anti-Trump attorneys and their law firms

ATLANTA — U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff came home to Atlanta Saturday to rally core Democrats desperate for effective action now against President Donald Trump’s administration. “Georgia will bow to no king!” Ossoff proclaimed at the end of a 20-minute speech that labeled Trump as corrupt, out of touch with the problems of regular people, and “trying to poison our democracy with fear and intimidation.” “Atlanta, this is not a drill. Atlanta, this is not a bad dream,” said Ossoff, who could be the Republicans’ No. 1 Democratic target in the 2026 elections. “As citizens, this is the test of our

Sometimes you just have to shake your head.
The MSNBC show "The Weekend," on Saturday, in their infinite wisdom (yes, I'm being facetious), decided to provide the Democratic Party with some valuable advice as to what they ought to do next, in order to start winning elections. While they did get one thing right, the balance of their advice was pretty ludicrous. On Saturday's edition of MSNBC's The Weekend, the panel had few ideas on what theme Democrats should run on.
But there was consensus on one thing: "Fighting Oligarchy," the name of the national tour by Bernie Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez, ain't it.

Kitty Dukakis, the wife of 1988 Democrat presidential nominee Michael Dukakis, died on Friday at the age of 88, according to her family.
Her son, John Dukakis, confirmed his mother’s passing, attributing it to complications stemming from dementia. She served as the first lady of Massachusetts when her husband was governor from 1975 to 1979. In 1988, Michael Dukakis became the Democrat nominee for president.

In 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. sat in a frigid jail cell in Birmingham, Alabama. Outside, the nation burned with division, unrest, and injustice. He had no legal defense, no allies beside him, and no certainty about the future.

In his famous “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” King repeatedly quoted Scripture, grounding his case for justice not in opinion but in the moral authority of God’s Word. He quoted or alluded to more than 50 biblical passages, drawing on his extensive knowledge of Scripture from memory.
Now, imagine a public-school classroom where students study Dr. King’s words but are not allowed

An appeals board has upheld the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) suspension of approved permits for a massive wind power venture off New Jersey’s coast in compliance with President Donald Trump’s Jan. 20 executive actions demanding an immediate freeze in offshore wind development and leasing.

A snippy article in The New York Times this past weekend — sorry, an unusually snippy article in The New York Times this past weekend — suggested that Trump is using his pardon power to reward those loyal to him and undo what he sees as politically motivated prosecutions.

Parenthood reshapes priorities, schedules, and, indeed, the brain itself. While short-term brain changes in parents are well-documented, it’s unclear if they last. Now, a study suggests that parenthood may give you a younger brain due to brain restructuring that safeguards against age-related cognitive decline.
Researchers of the study published in PNAS found that parents have better brain connections in areas that typically weaken with age. Compared to adults who are not parents, these different parts of their brain work more smoothly together.As the number of children increased, so did brain connectivity strengthened, suggesting a protective effect against age-related brain changes.
Federal authorities arrested 68 members of the notorious gang Tren De Aragua this week, according to a new report from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Tren De Aragua originated in the Venezuelan state of Aragua and later spread to other South American nations and the United States. On his first day in office, President Donald Trump signed a presidential action which called for designating transnational organizations as terror groups.

The University of Maine (UMaine) system decided to “side with sanity,” according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), agreeing not to allow male athletes to compete in female sports following a federal funding threat from the Trump administration.
According to USDA, the UMaine system (a network of eight universities) will comply with President Donald Trump’s executive order that threatens to pull federal funding from schools that allow transgender-identifying athletes to compete in sports that do not align with their actual sex.
Compliance from UMaine came after the system saw a temporary cessation in funding after an investigation was opened into the system for Title IX compliance.
