President Donald Trump signed a memorandum authorizing a “military mission for sealing the southern border of the United States and repelling invasions,” giving the U.S. military the ability to occupy public land along the border in order to secure it. [Snip] Invoking a day-one proclamation from Trump declaring a national emergency at the southern border, the memo says the Secretary of the Interior must “provide for” the Defense Department’s “utilization of public lands,” specifically including “portions of the Roosevelt Reservation”--a strip of land that reaches from California to Texas designated for border security in 1907. The directive excludes Federal Indian Reservations.
Prince Harry’s security woes appear to be taking an emotional toll on the royal. As the legal battle over his right to police protection in the U.K. intensifies, Harry’s concerns about his safety have been brought to the forefront. [Snip] While Harry fought for security to protect his family in the U.K., his wife enjoyed a night out in New York City. The Duchess of Sussex arrived in the Big Apple in a four-vehicle motorcade. An unmarked NYPD car accompanied Markle on her 1.5-mile journey, as she grabbed dinner at the Polo Bar in Midtown Manhattan with friends before heading to the Broadway production of "Gypsy"...
Trump’s Long Game With Tariffs

Donald Trump is playing the long game with tariffs. His goal is to restore our industrial base by revolutionizing the way the United States trades with the rest of the world. We no longer make antibiotics, and import much of our steel, computer chips, and cars. We must even import titanium sponge--a key component for weapons systems--from producers in China, Russia, and Kazakhstan. [Snip] ...that’s what “liberation day” is all about. Do we see ourselves as slaves to distant masters who control our wealth and our destiny? Or as free men and women in charge of our own destiny? Freedom always has a cost. And it’s worth it.
Christian nationalism” is the bad penny that keeps turning up in media propaganda. It’s an obvious trope that often conflates fascism with a very natural love of homeland. ...many have felt like displaced persons adrift in a sea of wokeness. [Snip] Christian nationalism, properly interpreted, is about a renewed ache for the profound sense of belonging Americans once had in America, including the longing for Christian values of forgiveness and redemption and real love--all of which are woven into America’s heritage and founding. [Snip] ...People yearn for freedom because we know in our hearts that it is our birthright, and that right is inalienable.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Wednesday that aims to strengthen America’s depleted shipbuilding industry and restore U.S. maritime dominance throughout the world. “The commercial shipbuilding capacity and maritime workforce of the United States has been weakened by decades of Government neglect, leading to the decline of a once strong industrial base while simultaneously empowering our adversaries and eroding United States national security,” the president wrote. “It is the policy of the United States to revitalize and rebuild domestic maritime industries and workforce to promote national security and economic prosperity.”
On average, Americans pay about twice what other countries do for prescription drugs. Thanks to President Trump’s aggressive tariffs and the global trade war they are inciting, they might soon pay even more. [Snip] Although pharmaceuticals are currently exempt, it’s widely expected that won’t last. In his remarks announcing tariffs last week, Trump said, “The pharmaceutical companies are going to come roaring back. … because if they don't, they've got a big tax to pay,...” When they do, one of the biggest losers would likely be generic drug manufacturers...they account for about 90% of all prescriptions in the United States, a huge segment of Americans...
All the Ukrainian Known Knowns

Aside from the rhetoric, there is a growing consensus among Western diplomats, military analysts, military officers, heads of state, and even much of the media about how to end the endless Ukrainian war. A proposed peace will see a DMZ established somewhere along an adjusted 1,200-mile Ukraine-Russia border. [Snip] If and when peace comes, we can already foresee the misinformation that will follow: Trump deserves no credit. Zelenskyy remains the true hero. A now hollowed-out Russia was the real winner. The only mystery? Since when did the anti-war left prefer an endless and horrific war to a difficult, messy peace?
The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 on Monday that Washington D.C. District Court Judge James Boasberg did not have the jurisdiction to hear the case involving President Donald Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport a group of Venezuelan nationals and alleged gang members. [Snip] “Boasberg effectively usurped the president’s power and mandate to combat illegal immigration by thwarting his policy and micromanaging his operations to deport the terrorist illegal aliens of Tren de Aragua,... [Snip] The Federalist’s senior legal correspondent Margot Cleveland said ... “IF there was no jurisdiction … why is SCOTUS saying what ‘due process’ is required,...”
The federal judge who blocked the Trump administration's use of a 1798 wartime law to immediately deport Venezuelan nationals canceled a planned Tuesday court hearing to review the case after the Supreme Court handed a win to the president. In a minute order published Tuesday morning, U.S. District Judge James Boasberg announced that the previously scheduled Tuesday afternoon hearing would be vacated in light of the high court's ruling, which determined, among other things, that the "appropriate venue for such proceedings is the Southern District of Texas," or wherever plaintiffs that are subject to potential removal are currently being held.
Another week has come and gone in the nation’s capital, which means congressional Republicans are either doing nothing productive, wasting taxpayer money, or losing major policy fights. In the case of this week (and many others), it’s all of the above. On Americans’ dime, the GOP-run House was all but forced to abruptly end work on its legislative agenda on Tuesday for the remainder of the week amid efforts led in part by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., to allow representatives who are new parents to vote by proxy. [Snip] ...Luna took an oath to represent her constituents on a full-time basis.
Much like every other major story, the dying news media have managed to take a really interesting topic and thoroughly dumb it down to a limited set of monotonous slogans. [Snip] Me no like tariff! Tariff bad! [Snip] Ultimately, producers might decide it’s better to simply make their stuff in America in order to skirt the tariffs, which allows them to sell more of it in the world’s richest market (America). Or, other nations might remove trade barriers and allow more goods from the U.S. to be sold inside their borders if it means we eliminate or at least decrease the new tariffs. Ideally, both happen and everyone benefits.

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that Congress had to take away the tariff authority from President Donald Trump.
Warren said, “It is a mistake to have the President of the United States out there just playing red light, green light and saying, oh, this morning I woke up and think the tariffs should be this big. Now, I think they should be this big; now, I think they should be somewhere else. And I got to say, saying, well, I will continue to make those decisions and I’m going to hold off on these tariffs for 90 days,
And they’re off like a firework.
Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket took off Monday morning with its star-studded, glammed-up, all-female crew, including singer Katy Perry, Jeff Bezos’ fiancée Lauren Sanchez, and “CBS Mornings” co-host Gayle King.
The New Shepard 31 soared through the Texas sky with the three celebrities and crew mates Amanda Nguyen, Aisha Bowe, and Kerianne Flynn, who enjoyed around just a few minutes in space before returning to earth as part of an 11-minute historic space tourism flight.
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and his family were forced to evacuate the governor’s mansion after an arsonist set it on fire overnight while they were sleeping, he announced.
The blaze broke out just hours after the governor posted a picture of his family celebrating the first night of Passover on Saturday, ABC 27 reported. (X) The arson attack remains under active investigation, police said.
“Last night at about 2AM, my family and I woke up to bangs on the door from the Pennsylvania State Police after an arsonist set fire to the Governor’s Residence in Harrisburg,” Shapiro wrote on twitter.
No, I'm still not tired of winning yet.
In another new development on the energy front, it looks like oil and natural gas production in the Gulf of America is going to be on the upswing - and one report indicates that there's a lot more oil and gas than estimated. This is good news for the energy sector and for those parts of the economy that are reliant on affordable, reliable energy. In other words - all of it.And, as have so many great things, it starts with the reversal of a Biden-era policy.

ESPN hot-take artist Stephen A. Smith says he must consider a presidential run because he is ” disgusted” with both parties.
“I have no choice, because I’ve had elected officials — and I’m not going to give their names — coming up to me,” Smith told ABC’s Jonathan Karl on Sunday. “I’ve had folks who are pundits come up to me. I’ve had folks that got a lot of money, billionaires and others, that have talked to me about exploratory committees and things of that nature. I’m not a politician. I’ve never had a desire to be a politician.”
A Senate Democrat announced plans to travel to El Salvador later this week if an alleged MS-13 gang member, who was detained last month in Maryland, deported, and imprisoned in his home country, is not returned to the United States.
Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) issued the statement on Monday as an ultimatum, expressing his desire to speak with El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele, who is currently in Washington, D.C., to meet with President Donald Trump.
“Kilmar Abrego Garcia never should have been abducted and illegally deported, and the courts have made clear: the Administration must bring him home, now,” Van Hollen said.
I’m telling you, something isn’t adding up. As much as I’d love to forget all about the Obamas, even as their brand is collapsing, the media still hangs on their every word. Concerning the rumors that Barack and Michelle are divorcing, they were practically crawling over each other to declare that all is well with this faux royal family after Michelle’s appearance on the “Work in Progress” podcast with Sophia Bush.Look, I know you don’t care about the Obamas. I don’t care about the Obamas, either, but there is definitely something weird about this story.
Now, the media narrative is that Michelle explicitly denied the rumors that she and
The arson suspect believed to have set Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro’s house on fire on the first night of Passover admitted to authorities that he hated Shapiro — and said he would’ve beaten him with a hammer if he found him, according to a criminal complaint.

When he’s not busy ending wars, deporting illegal aliens, overhauling the federal bureaucracy and drastically reordering world trade, the president has big plans for matters closer to home.
Donald Trump, the property developer, is busting out of the political straitjacket to bling the Oval Office and reimagine the White House.
From planning a “beautiful, magnificent” new ballroom to paving over the Rose Garden to create a convivial Mar-a-Lago- style terrace, the 45th-turned-47th president is determined to make his mark on the White House this time.
“It keeps my real estate juices flowing,” he told a reporter recently.

Suspended Dauphin County Magistrate Judge Sonya McKnight was convicted Wednesday of attempted murder and aggravated assault for shooting her ex-boyfriend in the head as he slept.
McKnight, a Dauphin County judge since 2016 and a Democrat, carried out the heinous act days after her ex-boyfriend, Michael McCoy, ended their relationship.
The incident, which unfolded in February 2024, stemmed from a bitter breakup. McKnight, 58, had been living in her ex-boyfriend Michael McCoy’s home but refused to leave despite his repeated demands after their relationship ended.
In a stunning win for election integrity, the great state of Arizona is partnering with the Department of Homeland Security to verify the state's voter rolls, with as many as 50,000 non-citizens expected to be purged. The action is the result of a lawsuit filed against 15 Arizona counties by America First Legal (AFL).
All 15 Arizona counties have now begun the process of verifying and removing noncitizens from their voter rolls, including nearly 50,000 registrants who did not provide proof of U.S. citizenship.
"This settlement is a great result for all Arizonans," America First Legal (AFL) senior counsel James Rogers told Fox News Digital
On Thursday, President Donald Trump said his administration will “work with [illegal immigrants who self deport] right from the beginning on trying to get them back in legally.” While that may sound like a clever strategy to encourage self-deportation, it misses the bigger picture — and sends the wrong message.
(snip)
Such statements completely undermine the seriousness of violating our immigration laws and insult every single American. Allowing aliens who broke the law to have a second chance at coming to the U.S. legally is like rewarding someone who broke into your home by handing them the front door key.
