But to Consider Presidential Run, ‘Disgusted’
by Both Parties

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.”

Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele told U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House on April 14 that an illegal alien deported back to his home country of El Salvador will not be returned to the United States.
“You’re suggesting I smuggle a terrorist into the United States,” Bukele told reporters during the Oval Office meeting. “I’m not going to do it. The question is preposterous.”
Kilmar Abrego Garcia was arrested in Baltimore, Maryland, on March 12 by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. Allegedly a member of MS-13, he has resided in El Salvador’s Terrorist Confinement Center for more than a mont
In addition to Howard Lutnick, Peter Navarro and Kevin Hassett explaining the nuances of Section 232 tariff exemptions, White House Senior Policy Advisor, Stephen Miller, appears on Fox News to deliver the same message.
Steel, Aluminum, Automobiles, Pharmaceuticals and components for semiconductor manufacturing all fall under the Section 232 “National Security” tariff umbrella. Meaning, the products within each of those sectors of manufacturing are handled ¹differently from all other tariffs as executed. WATCH:(Video)[¹NOTE: This approach could present a problem in future lawsuits, because the administration is now beginning to define what is classified as a ‘national security’ product. Lawfare operatives will likely say in court

A private plane that crashed in upstate New York over the weekend was carrying six members of a close-knit family of physicians and distinguished student-athletes on a trip to the Catskills for a birthday celebration and the Passover holiday.
The twin-engine Mitsubishi MU-2B went down shortly after noon Saturday in a muddy field in Copake, New York, near the Massachusetts line, killing everyone on board, according to authorities and a family member who spoke to The Associated Press.
Shortly before the crash, the pilot had radioed air traffic control at Columbia County Airport to say he had missed the initial approach and requested a new approach plan,
The helicopter tour company involved in the fatal crash over New York City’s Hudson River on April 10 will cease operations immediately, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said on Sunday.
The FAA said on April 13 it is launching an immediate review of New York Helicopter Tours’ license and safety record in the aftermath of the crash that killed the pilot and a family of five visiting from Spain.
The aviation regulator also stated that it will continue to support the National Transportation Safety Board’s (NTSB) investigation into the fatal crash.
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.

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.

Fighting against the wishes of their voters is a classic Republican pastime — and this week is no different.
When they apparently thought nobody was looking, a cabal of GOP senators comprised of Alaska’s Lisa Murkowski, Utah’s John Curtis, Kansas’ Jerry Moran, and North Carolina’s Thom Tillis — who’s up for reelection next year — quietly sent a letter on Wednesday to Senate Majority Leader John Thune regarding ongoing negotiations over the party’s reconciliation package.
After sitting back for four years while the leader of the Democrat Party allowed millions of illegal aliens to invade the country, 208 Democrats voted against legislation Thursday that would keep foreign nationals out of American elections.
The Republican-led House passed the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act 220-208. The legislation, introduced by Texas Rep. Chip Roy, would require documentary proof of citizenship in order to register to vote. )snip) Four Democrats — Rep. Ed Case (HI); Rep. Henry Cuellar (TX); Rep. Jared Golden (ME); and Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA) — voted alongside Republicans to pass the SAVE Act.
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.
The directive, released late Friday, allows the military to use federal lands for military activities, including constructing border barriers and using “detection and monitoring equipment” to deter would-be migrant invaders.
Vermont-based Agri-Mark Inc. is pulling out thousands of pounds of butter from the market, citing bacterial contamination, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The recall is applicable to 189 cases of “Cabot Creamery 8 oz. Extra Creamy Premium Butter” totaling 1,701 pounds, the agency said in an April 8 enforcement report. The products are being withdrawn as they are “contaminated with elevated levels of coliform” bacteria.
Coliform represents a large group of bacteria. While most coliform types are harmless, certain variants such as fecal coliform can result in stomach aches, gastrointestinal diseases, and cholera. E. coli is a type of fecal coliform that poses health risks to human beings.

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer was mocked after she was captured hiding her face behind a stack of binders to avoid being seen standing in the Oval Office when President Donald Trump spoke to the press.

Whitmer was in Washington DC to discuss issues including tariffs and a recent ice storm which Whitmer has since asked for a Presidential Emergency Declaration.
After DOGE, the border shutdown, and the tariff and trade debacle, it's pretty obvious that President Trump doesn't mess around.
So now he's announced that sanctuary cities are a target for federal defunding:
No more Sanctuary Cities! They protect the Criminals, not the Victims. They are disgracing our Country, and are being mocked all over the World. Working on papers to withhold all Federal Funding for any City or State that allows these Death Traps to exist!!!
Donald Trump Truth…
(snip)
It makes perfect sense. Why should cities and states shielding illegally present criminals from repatriation to their homelands get so much as a dime of federal funding from other taxpayers?

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.

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.
