Hillary Clinton does not have a reputation for honesty. Indeed, ever since she burst onto the political scene, the one guarantee with Hillary was that you couldn’t trust her. Whole articles have been published about the whoppers she’s told over the decades (see, e.g., here and here). One thing, though, that’s always seemed to be true is her claim to have graduated from Yale Law School. After hearing her latest pronouncement, though, I must admit to having my doubts about that statement, too. One of the things that’s pretty clear in the United States Constitution, which has traditionally been part of the curriculum at American law schools
Hundreds of Indian and Chinese college-graduate migrants in the United States have been fired from white-collar jobs in California, Washington, DC, and elsewhere,
But the migrants are pushing back with lawyers, complaints in the Indian media, and pleas to Indian-origin members of Congress.
Some are losing their jobs at Apple and the Federal National Mortgage Association, commonly known as Fannie Mae.
More are losing jobs because the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency has deleted their visas or their names from a federal database — dubbed SEVIS — that allows migrants to get work permits after enrolling in U.S. colleges. Their entries and work permits are being deleted from SEVIS
A Democrat in the House of Representatives' progressive "Squad" is arguing that the Trump administration could soon jail people in the U.S. for a variety of non-criminal reasons, seemingly regardless of their legal status.
Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., made the comments after visiting college students Rumeysa Ozturk and Mahmoud Khalil. Both are being held at an Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility after being accused of espousing pro-Hamas beliefs. Neither are U.S. citizens, though both are in the country legally; Khalil is a legal permanent resident, and Ozturk is on a student visa.
Another portrait of President Donald Trump is going up in the White House, and its position is tickling social media users. The art, which features a photo of a steely-eyed Trump with stars and stripes imposed over his face, is snuggled between two portraits of former First Ladies Laura Bush and Hillary Clinton. It is located outside the East Wing, where First Lady Melania Trump has her offices. It is also in a central location where visitors pass through during their tours of the White House. It is also the same artwork that Trump features in his Truth Social profile picture.
Disney+’s acclaimed Andor has stretched the creative boundaries of Star Wars in countless ways, bringing a grown-up sensibility to a galaxy far, far away.
Yet even by Andor standards, a scene from the second season is leaving fans shocked: An Imperial officer tries to violently rape a Rebel fugitive, Bix Caleen (Adria Arjona), who is hiding out in a farming settlement while Imperial troops are rounding up “undocumented” citizens (read some sample reactions below). The sequence plays out over the course of the show’s third episode (the first three episodes were released all at once on Tuesday) with the officer’s flirtation with Bix turning growing increasingly persistent and eventually

Defending Accused MS-13 Member: ‘We
Need to Step Back’ replies
Democrat consultants are warning Democrats that they are taking a massive political risk by defending an illegal alien deported to El Salvador after being accused of MS-13 gang membership, domestic violence, and human trafficking.
Last month, the Trump administration deported 29-year-old Kilmar Abrego Garcia — an illegal alien from El Salvador who had been arrested in 2019 and accused by the Prince George’s County Police Department of being a member of the violent MS-13 gang.
Federal immigration judges likewise believed Abrego Garcia was a member of MS-13 after a reliable criminal informant confirmed the illegal alien’s rank within the gang.
A 50-year-old career criminal learned the hard way this month that trying to rape elderly women in the Bronx can get you beat — beat bad.
Oswaldo Ramos, a career criminal with 19 prior arrests, approached a 70-year-old Bronx woman around 1:00 pm last Friday evening and then tried to rape her before fleeing on foot, according to the New York Post.
But he made one vital mistake. He allowed himself to be captured by a surveillance camera trying to put his pants back on after the attempted rape. After the police released the footage to the public, it was go time.
“Enraged locals” reportedly spotted him nearby the next day

The story of Peanut the Squirrel took the Internet by storm after he and his buddy, Fred the Raccoon, were unceremoniously whacked by the government.
Judicial Watch used the Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) to receive 163 pages from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, which shows that the group intended to “euthanize a squirrel named ‘Peanut’ and a raccoon named ‘Fred’ before they were seized from Pine City, NY, resident Mark Longo,” the outlet reported.
The premeditated assassination of a squirrel might seem like a ridiculous use of government resources, but it is New York after all.
“A number of judges have seemingly adopted a constitutional meta-principle: what a past President did, President Trump may not undo.”
So wrote Harvard Law professor and constitutional scholar Adrian Vermeule on Friday after a district-court judge issued yet another lawless nationwide injunction meant to handcuff Trump and halt his agenda.
It’s a criticism the Supreme Court, and particularly Chief Justice John Roberts, must take to heart.
One of the hallmarks of Roberts’ term has been an overweening desire to guard the judicial branch’s “legitimacy.”
But Roberts seems oblivious to the fact that the biggest threat to the courts’ legitimacy come from the courts themselves —
Joy Behar said she fears that Pope Francis will be replaced by “some conservative guy” on Tuesday’s episode of ABC’s The View, during which the show’s co-hosts used the pope’s death as an opportunity to complain about U.S. politics.
After The View co-host Sunny Hostin said she hopes the late pope will be replaced by someone similar to him, Joy Behar replied, “I wonder, though, because there might be a backlash against how good he was, and how much humility he had compared to some of the leaders in this world right now.”
Podcaster Tim Pool took full advantage of his New Media seat in the White House Briefing Room to humiliate the corporate media to their faces … and it was glorious…
“Many of the news organizations represented in this room have marched in lock step on false narratives, such as the ‘very fine people’ hoax, the Covington smear,” Pool said, prefacing his first official question to Awesome White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. “And now, the ‘Maryland man’ hoax, where an MS-13 gang member, adjudicated by two different judges, I believe, is simply being referred to as a ‘Maryland man’ over and over again.”
He was only getting warmed up.
State and local authorities failed to clear the brush ahead of the devastating Palisades Fire — but the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) is still sending notices to owners of destroyed properties to clear their own.
One property owner, Larry Larson, a partner in the partnership that owned 111 Marquez Place, received a notice from the LAFD warning him about the need to comply with brush clearance regulations, and reminding him that “brush clearance is a year-round responsibility” (original emphasis). The LAFD also notified the building manager, separately, of the need to renew the building’s fire prevention certification.
The building burned down on January 8,
When now-Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson stated in her confirmation hearing that she couldn't define what a "woman" is, that probably should have been treated as a bit of a red flag. That would have required the Senate to have any sense of shame, though, and we all know that's long been in short supply. Since joining the Supreme Court, Jackson has become perhaps the most reliable left-wing vote on the court. There is no level of partisanship she won't stoop to in order to defend a Democrat viewpoint, and that was on display again in recent oral arguments surrounding parental rights.

Well, we did promise we'd bring you updates as events warrant. The event that warrants this update is a report on Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the suspected human smuggler and MS-13 member who Democrats and the legacy media have been slobbering over ever since he was repatriated to El Salvador - you know, the country where he is actually a citizen. Earlier, we brought you the story of Abrego Garcia's 2022 traffic stop in Tennessee, where he was given a warning about an expired driver's license and let go, even though he had a van load of guys with no luggage, making him look a lot like a human smuggler.
Minnesota attorney general Keith Ellison is trying to explain his support for a Muslim children’s organization that is being prosecuted for massive fraud.
Federal prosecutors have been investigating the Minneapolis-based Somali organization that was supposed to be raising funds for children but instead turned into the most expensive fraud concerning COVID funding in the entire nation, where 47 Somali immigrants have been charged with stealing $250 million in federal COVID funding.
Yet, Ellison took a meeting with representatives of that charity even as it was being investigated and now, in an op-ed, he is suddenly claiming, “as for the meeting —
The liberal ladies of ABC’s The View loved abortion so much that they actively decried and denounced President Trump’s plan to increase America’s birth rate, on Wednesday. Between cries of global overpopulation and cries of racism, the shrieking liberals tried to make every argument under the sun against more babies being born.

Rep. Jan Schakowsky, a left-wing Democrat who has represented the 9th congressional district of Illinois since 1999, will reportedly announce her retirement next month at the age of 80.
Politico reported:
Rep. Jan Schakowsky is planning to announce next month she won’t seek reelection after 14 terms in the House and has started informing allies of her retirement decision, according to two people granted anonymity to describe the private conversations.
The veteran Illinois Democrat, 80, confirmed in a statement that an announcement is forthcoming, though she did not say what it would entail: “I’m going to announce my plans on May 5th. Stay tuned,”
Harvard's lawsuit against the Trump administration is a possible ploy meant to bring the administration to the bargaining table, Harvard Law School professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz said Monday. He added that Harvard would lose if the case makes it to the Supreme Court.
Harvard sued the administration on Monday to try to stop a federal freeze on grants worth over $2.2 billion.
Harvard filed suit on Monday to halt a federal freeze on more than $2.2 billion in grants.
The campaign to sabotage Pete Hegseth's tenure as Secretary of Defense is very real, with bad-faith actors from within and outside of the DOD appearing to engage in coordinated smear attempts designed to ramp up public pressure in hopes he'll either resign or be forced out after three months at the helm.President Donald Trump has basically told Hegseth's critics to pound sand, responding to one reporter's question on whether he is still confident in Hegseth by noting that, "He's doing a great job...Ask the Houthis how he's doing.

New York officials joined a lawsuit against President Trump’s tariffs on Wednesday – with Gov. Kathy Hochul calling the fees a tax hike that is stirring “economic chaos” across the US.
Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James said the Empire State is joining a legal action with 11 other states in a bid to fight back against the Trump administration slapping tariffs on imports globally.
“President Trump’s reckless tariffs have skyrocketed costs for consumers and unleashed economic chaos across the country. New York is standing up to fight back against the largest federal tax hike in American history,” Hochul said.
In a new development in the ongoing battle for transparency surrounding the Government’s unprecedented lawfare against January 6 defendants, J6er Ryan Zink and his attorney, Roger Roots, have filed an opposition (Document 155, filed April 21, 2025) to the government’s attempt to conceal critical evidence from the public.
This filing, submitted in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, follows Zink’s recent victory in lifting a protective order on January 6 discovery materials and the government’s subsequent push to reverse that decision. The latest filing reveals a previously unreleased document, marked “highly sensitive”
Outrage is growing after the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation announced it will release an undocumented immigrant convicted of killing two American teenagers, more than six years before his original sentence was set to end.
Trump border czar Tom Homan says he’s stepping in.
"I will work with [Homeland Security] Secretary Noem on this case, and I guarantee you, if they don’t honor the detainer, we’ll have ICE agents outside that facility to take custody of this individual and deport him," Homan said Wednesday on "America’s Newsroom."
The FBI, along with state and local law enforcement, on Wednesday raided the homes of anti-Israel activists connected to protests at the University of Michigan.
Authorities began executing search warrants Wednesday morning in Ypsilanti, Ann Arbor, and Canton in southeastern Michigan, the Detroit Metro Times and the Detroit Free Press reported. Several people were detained before they were eventually released.
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel’s office is handling the ongoing investigation, but it declined to provide details about the raids. A spokesperson, however, clarified that the police activity was unrelated to illegal immigration
The inclusion of New Media journalists and social media influencers in the White House press briefing room, which was teased in early January and officially announced after Donald Trump's inauguration, has caused some heartbreak and triggering among Legacy Media outlets and their supporters over the last three months.
Their collective outrage has resulted in a slew of conveniently timed pieces from some of the more "traditional" news operations of late under the guise of simply "informing" readers/viewers as to the latest developments in White House communications operations.
Among them is Politico, which published an article Tuesday on "the 8 MAGA Outlets Disrupting the White House Briefing Room." Another was CNN,

The Justice Department on Monday filed multiple federal charges against 27 members of the violent Tren de Aragua gang. The charges include racketeering, narcotics, sex trafficking, robbery, and firearms offenses. DOJ officials said in a press release that this marks the first time RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) charges have been filed against the Venezuelan prison gang.

A Chicago Police Department recruit is reportedly accused of having crack cocaine in his pocket during a training exercise.
CWB Chicago said it reviewed an internal report that said the discovery happened on Monday during a narcotics arrest training scenario.
When one recruit reportedly found real crack cocaine while searching another recruit’s pocket, the suspect had an interesting explanation after being confronted about the substance’s presence.
The outlet said a trainer gave the recruit a baggie with blue stars on it that held simulated heroin, then another recruit was instructed to perform a search:
While searching the subject’s cargo pants, the recruit conducting the search found a
1. The Border is Closing—Fast
Day One, the new Trump Department of Homeland Security—under the iron will of Secretary Kristi Noem—reinstated Remain in Mexico, revoked Biden’s reckless parole authority abuses, and began mass processing of illegal entrants for immediate deportation.
Border apprehensions have dropped 41% since January. Trump didn’t need 100 days to act—he needed one. And construction has resumed on key wall segments. ICE raids are back. Sanctuary cities are sweating. And the asylum loopholes are slamming shut.

David Hogg, the name synonymous with gun control theatrics, now holds a position of power as vice chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC). But does he have any idea what he's doing? His latest move suggests that the answer is a resounding "no." Instead of building the party, Hogg decided to launch a $20 million campaign to primary sitting Democrats in blue districts. You read that right. This dumb kid got himself elected as vice chair and now wants to spend millions to start a civil war within his own party.“We don't want to pick unnecessary fights, but we're willing to do that if our approval rating continues

Far-left New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was spotted exiting a private jet with her comrade in arms, Sen. Bernie Sanders, after shuttling between stops for a campaign dedicated to denouncing the wealthy.
Video from Fox News shows AOC and Sanders exiting a Bombardier Challenger 604 — despite both railing against flying private planes and the people who own them — a luxury aircraft with a lofty $5 million to $7 million price tag and costing an eye-watering $15,000 per hour to charter.

President Trump endorsed giving new mothers a financial reward Tuesday after a report surfaced that the White House was considering handing out up to $5,000 per delivery to reverse the decline in US birth rates.
“Sounds like a good idea to me,” Trump told The Post in the Oval Office when asked about the reported cash incentive to get more Americans to have kids.
The adminstration’s deliberations over the so-called “baby bonus” were first reported Monday by the New York Times.
U.S. President Donald Trump castigated Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on April 23, after the Ukrainian leader said his country would not legally recognize Russian control over Crimea.
The U.S. government recently presented a proposal to end the ongoing Russia–Ukraine war.
The White House has yet to confirm details of the proposal, but Vice President JD Vance has indicated the plan would freeze the fighting along the current territorial lines.
We all probably enjoy a protein shake now and then, but imagine if that was the only thing you ate for every meal, every day of your life. Such is the case for many children and adults who receive their nutrition through a gastrostomy tube (G-Tube). As if these patients don't have enough to deal with—feeding and swallowing disorders, brain injuries, metabolic and genetic disorders, etc.—they're more often than not pumped full of corn syrup, highly processed carbs, seed oils, and various chemicals found in products like PediaSure. In fact, most nutritionists and gastroenterologists recommend these unhealthy formulas, even though there are excellent real-food alternatives without all the chemicals.
Critics of JD Vance falsely accused the vice president of committing a faux pas while visiting the Vatican, claiming that Vance’s team did not have permission to take photos in the Sistine Chapel.
But a source familiar with Vance’s travel team told The Daily Wire that the Vatican gave the vice president’s official photographer permission to take pictures in the Chapel, where visitors are typically forbidden to take photos of Michelangelo’s frescoes — including The Creation of Adam” — considered some of the most important pieces of Renaissance art.
Vigilant guards in the Sistine Chapel may take tourists’ phones or cameras and delete photos if an unlucky photographer is caught snapping photos.
Khursheed Ash-Shafii, a councilman for the city of Highland Park, Michigan, refused to resign Tuesday in a public meeting following an incident with the police.
Ash-Shafii was charged with refusing to take a breathalyzer and driving with a suspend license following a car crash on April 7, WXYZ reported.
EMTs at the scene alleged that the councilman’s breath reeked of alcohol and that he exhibited slurred speech, according to a police report obtained by the outlet.
In a separate incident, Ash-Shafii can be heard on body camera footage calling officers “white Nazis” in a contentious exchange on March 10, WXYZ reported.
The internet is full of memes like: “Fruit pickers wanted, $11/hour,” with captions like, “Happy now, MAGA?” And my response is: Yes. Very happy. That $11/hour wage is a direct result of reducing illegal immigration and rebalancing the U.S. labor market in favor of legal workers.
By cutting off the illegal labor pipeline, we’ve created upward pressure on wages at the lower end of the income scale—without needing to legislate a minimum wage hike. Legal employment also increases tax revenue without raising taxes. Workers on the books pay income tax, and both employers and employees contribute to Social Security and Medicare. This strengthens the system for everyone, especially retirees,

Michelle Obama is finally revealing why she missed President Trump’s inauguration in January.
The former first lady broke down the “hard” decision on the latest episode of her and brother Craig Robinson’s “IMO” podcast.
She called her headline-making choice the “right” one despite public “ridicule” while chatting with Taraji P. Henson.
The 61-year-old explained that she “basically tricked” herself into not attending the ceremony by making sure she did not “have anything to wear.” Obama recalled, “I was like, if I’m not going to do this thing, I’ve got to tell my team. I don’t even want to have a dress ready, right?”

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is reportedly considering removing the COVID-19 vaccination from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's recommended vaccine schedule for children.
The possible change was reported Tuesday by news outlet Politico, based on sources.
HHS spokesperson Andrew Nixon told Politico when asked about the matter: “No final decision has been made."
The CDC added the vaccine in 2023 to the schedule, which does not mandate the shot.
States and localities decide which vaccines are required for schools, and all 50 states have medical exemptions for vaccines.

Texas Democrat Representative Jasmine Crockett stated during an interview with late-night host Jimmy Kimmel that she would “absolutely” take on a head-to-head IQ test against President Donald Trump.
On Tuesday, Crockett (D-Texas) told Kimmel in an airing of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” that she would go toe-to-toe with the 47th president in order to prove that she has a high IQ.
“He also called you low IQ, I’m sure you’re aware of that. Would you be willing to take an IQ test publicly head-to-head against the President of the United States?” Kimmel asked Crockett.
“Absolutely!” Crockett responded.
Former NBC News chief political analyst Chuck Todd argued Wednesday that immigration benefits the United States because it helps the nation perform better in the Olympics.
President Donald Trump’s White House is considering methods to sway Americans to marry and produce more children, including a $5,000 “baby bonus,” The New York Times reported on Monday. Todd, on “The Chuck ToddCast,” said the president is attempting to fix a U.S. demographic issue by encouraging more births instead of embracing immigration — which he claimed plays a crucial role in U.S. Olympic success.
An illegal immigrant in Maryland was charged with murdering his girlfriend after her body was found in a forest outside of Washington, D.C.
The Charles County Sheriff's Office in Maryland announced Monday that 24-year-old Keycy Robinson Alexi Barrera-Rosa was charged with murder in the killing of his girlfriend, Lesbia Mileth Ramirez Guerra, 23, who was reported missing on March 31. Rosa's uncle, Rolvin Eduardo Barrera-Barrera, 37, was charged as an accessory.
Deputies said Guerra's body was found on April 17 in a "heavily wooded area" of the forest just outside of Cedarville State Forest in Prince George's County, Maryland. Her body was found buried, the officials added.

Seems like a slam-dunk criminal case, right? Wrong. Instead of holding him accountable, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty decided to give him a pass.
Yes, you read that right. The man caused tens of thousands of dollars in damage, but rather than face criminal charges, Adams gets the warm embrace of “diversion.”

Democrats have been in disarray, sniping at each other and trying to figure out how to dig out from under how badly the American people rejected them in November and their low approval ratings. Historically, they've always been able to count on some support from young voters.
But according to a new Harvard Youth Poll, things just got worse for them, even with that group of Americans.
[T]he 50th Harvard Youth Poll indicates that approval ratings for Democrats in Congress among Americans aged 18-29 have nosedived.
According to Harvard's annual spring survey, which was conducted March 14-25 and released on Wednesday,
The Trump administration is considering how it might encourage more Americans to have children, and progressives aren’t happy about it. This means they have to throw every argument – no matter how silly – against the initiative. The Advocate’s John Casey penned an op-ed in which he claimed this idea is authoritarian and dangerous and a threat to members of the LGBTQ community and women who don’t want to live in a real-life version of the left’s favorite television show: “The Handmaid’s Tale.”
Can you believe it? The Democrats, once the supposed champions of the working class, have exposed themselves as nothing more than elitist snobs who couldn't care less about real Americans. Recent polling has confirmed what conservatives have known all along: the Democratic Party is now the domain of overeducated, snobby, wealthy liberals who look down on anyone who doesn't share their "enlightened" worldview.
Remember when Democrats at least pretended to care about the working class? Those days are long gone, replaced by a woke agenda that caters to the most unhinged elements of society. Now, they're more interested in slobbering over MS-13 gangbangers than addressing the real concerns of everyday Americans.
President Trump unveiled his latest plans to shake up the White House grounds on Wednesday — announcing he will pay for two large flagpoles.
The president came out of the residence in the morning to survey the grounds on the north side and was spotted with groundskeepers, who were spreading their arms, showing just how large the flags were going to be.
“We’re putting up a beautiful, almost 100-foot-tall American flag on this side and another one on the other side, two flags, top of the line,” he later told reporters outside the White House.
In an interview with Fox News' Dana Perino, the Trump administration's Education Secretary, Linda McMahon, presented some eye-opening information on student loan debt - and noted that no collections have been made since the COVID panic began in March of 2020. (X Video) The Secretary said:
We have, gosh, almost 1.7 trillion dollars in student debt. And none of the collections have been made since March of 2020. So, it's time to have people be accountable again for their debts. But it's... We're not trying to make it difficult for anyone.
President Trump issued a stark warning to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday, saying Kyiv’s leader was in a “dire” situation and “can have Peace or, he can fight for another three years before losing the whole Country.”
Trump, 78, was responding to Zelensky telling reporters Tuesday that “Ukraine will not legally recognize the [Russian] occupation of Crimea” — a key part of a US-proposed peace plan under discussion in London Wednesday.
President Trump is raising the stakes in his ongoing feud with one of the biggest DNC law firms in the country.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump stripped security clearances of the employees at Perkins Coie back in March.

A record-breaking tunnel is being built under the Baltic Sea between Denmark and Germany, which will slash travel times and improve Scandinavia's links with the rest of Europe.
Running for 18km (11 miles), the Fehmarnbelt will be the world's longest pre-fabricated road and rail tunnel.
It's also a remarkable feat of engineering, that will see segments of the tunnel placed on top of the seafloor, and then joined together.
The project's main construction site is located at the northern entrance to the tunnel, on the coast of Lolland island in the south east of Denmark.
The facility spans more than 500 hectares (1,235 acres), and includes a harbour and a factory
Former NFL kicker Jay Feely launched a bid for an open House seat in Arizona on Tuesday, seeking to become the latest to cross over from sports to politics.
Running as a Republican, Feely is running to represent the state’s 5th Congressional District and succeed Rep. Andy Biggs (R), who is seeking the GOP nomination for governor next year. The former player-turned sports analyst pitched himself as a strong supporter of President Trump and highlighted his experience on and off the field on his campaign website.

The Blue Earth County Attorney’s Office has filed felony charges against Mohamed Adan Mohamed after he allegedly stole $2,150 worth of firearm magazines and made a threatening, anti-American post on social media. (snip) A special agent with Minnesota’s Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) who was aware of the social media postings and the alleged theft reportedly told law enforcement officials that “there were strong indicators that Mohamed was preparing to conduct some sort of attack (Mass Casualty Event) in the next twenty-four hours.”
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Wednesday called for sweeping reforms at the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, urging the institutions to abandon what he described as “mission creep” and return to their founding charters focused on macroeconomic stability, trade, and development.
Speaking at the Institute of International Finance during the spring meetings of the IMF and World Bank, Bessent said that “America First does not mean America alone.” He argued that the Trump administration is not looking to abandon international institutions or the global financial system built with American leadership, but rather is making a renewed commitment to U.S. leadership within it.
The Soros domestic terror protection racket is spinning up again — this time, to block anti-Tesla thugs from consequences as they pursue their insane vendetta against law-abiding citizens who own cars made by Elon Musk.
Woke weirdo Dylan Bryan Adams (who works for the state government headed by fellow woke weirdo Gov. Tim Walz) allegedly keyed and defaced numerous Teslas while out walking his dog.
It’s part of a troubling movement where lefties who oppose Musk’s role in the Trump administration attack vehicles made by the company he owns and showrooms that sell them.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the deported El Salvadoran at the center of the Trump administration’s immigration battle with the courts, was stopped by police in an SUV owned by a man who was himself deported after pleading guilty to smuggling illegal aliens in 2020, according to court and Homeland Security Department intelligence documents reviewed by Just the News.
These new details follow Just the News reporting last week that Abrego Garcia was flagged in 2022 by the Biden administration as a “suspect alien” who was possibly involved in “human smuggling/trafficking” after a traffic stop in Tennessee raised the suspicions of a state trooper,
A Virginia town in Loudoun County voted to keep its police force on Tuesday following backlash from residents opposed to disbanding the department to save more than $3 million.
“The town of Purcellville, located in Loudoun County, Virginia, has found itself around $50 million in the red following the construction of a major wastewater treatment facility,” Fox News reported, “and the council sought to tighten the town’s budget by disbanding the local police department and relying on the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office for law enforcement.”
Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) announced Wednesday that he will not seek re-election in 2026, saying he would “pass the torch” to up-and-coming leaders in his party.
The no. 2 Democrat in the Senate posted a video message on X explaining his decision to step down after having served five terms — “longer than anyone elected to the Senate” in Illinois’ history.
“The decision of whether to run for re-election has not been easy. I truly love the job of being a United States senator,” Durbin said. “But in my heart, I know it’s time to pass the torch.”
Sweden, once hailed as a beacon of safety and “progressive utopia” of Europe, is now facing a grim and unthinkable reality: its murder rate has climbed higher than that of El Salvador, long infamous for gang violence, and a nation that, until recently, was considered one of the most dangerous places on Earth.
The shocking revelation, confirmed by multiple sources, highlights the catastrophic consequences of decades of open-border, globalist immigration policies championed by Sweden’s out-of-touch left-liberal establishment.
According to data from early 2025, Sweden has reported 32 murders just in the first 110 days of the year.
Jack Schlossberg—grandson of former President John F. Kennedy—lashed out on social media Monday morning, accusing Vice President J.D. Vance of “killing the pope” just hours after the Vatican announced the death of Pope Francis.
The accusation comes after Pope Francis’s passing, ending his 12-year tenure as head of the Roman Catholic Church.
Vance, a Catholic convert since 2019, had a brief private meeting with the pontiff at Casa Santa Marta on Easter Sunday.
The meeting lasted about 15–17 minutes, during which they exchanged Easter greetings.
A former senior adviser to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth who lost his job last week amid an investigation into press leaks from the Pentagon — pointed the finger in a different direction during an interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
Dan Caldwell, who has been placed on “administrative leave,” told Carlson in the interview released Monday that the Pentagon is rife with opponents of President Donald Trump and his administration’s goals. Those are where the leaks are coming from, he said.
But there’s a “less obvious place” that’s a possibility, he suggested. And he named one name that shocked viewers
The families of the victims of an Orange County, Calif., high-speed car crash are sending letters to the state to keep an illegal immigrant convicted felon behind bars, as he’s expected to be released from prison over six years before his 10-year sentence is up.
Oscar Eduardo Ortega-Anguiano, 43, was driving drunk, high, and speeding at nearly 100mph on the 405 freeway in Orange County in November 2021, when he crashed into a car being driven by a young couple, 19-year-olds Anya Varfolomeev and Nicholay Osokin, killing them both as they burned alive. In 2022, he was convicted of two counts of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated.

Three federal prosecutors have resigned instead of admitting wrongdoing following suspensions over their handling of the federal corruption case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams – bringing the number of lawyers who have left the Justice Department in the fallout from the case to 10.
The three who most recently resigned were Assistant U.S. Attorneys Celia Cohen, Andrew Rohrbach and Derek Wikstrom, who were assigned to the department's Southern District of New York.
The Trump administration – not them – mishandled the case, according to a letter from them reviewed by NBC News.
They were suspended after refusing to take part in the Justice Department's move to drop the prosecution against Adams.
The Department of Agriculture has worked with the Department of Government Efficiency to slash millions in woke spending projects, from a $300,000 contract educating queer and transgender farmers to $5 million to keep trees alive.
“Probably the most stunning for me was the $500,000 grant to study transgenderism in mice,” Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins told The Daily Signal.
The National Institutes of Health under the Biden administration allocated millions of dollars in taxpayer-funded grants for institutions to perform transgender experiments on mice, composing a total of more than $8 million in spending, according to the White House.
Public trust in media has never been lower. Once-important newspapers have hemorrhaged subscribers and readers. Ratings for cable-TV outlets like CNN and MSNBC have cratered. And guess who's fault it is -- at least according to CNN's assorted talking heads?
Yours. And mine too, it seems ... for pointing out just how badly they do their jobs.
How low can they go? Scott Jennings provides this clip from last night's panel discussion, in which Jeff Jarvis refers to new media and its audiences as "freaks," to which the rest of the panel save Jennings at least tacitly agrees. No, I am not kidding:
After weeks of pain, the stock market is eyeing some relief from tariffs and fears about Donald Trump's encroachment on the Federal Reserve. US stocks soared Wednesday after comments from Trump helped ease two major headwinds for the stock market: steep tariffs on China and the early termination of Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell. The rally midweek adds to Tuesday's gain, which saw the Dow rise nearly 1,000 points while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 were up over 2%.
Other assets that had been hit by the "sell America" trade in recent days also rose. The moves on Wednesday morning include:
President Trump is seeing a drop in economic approval as concerns rise over his sweeping tariff agenda, which he argues will revitalize manufacturing domestically, according to a survey released Wednesday.
The Reuters/Ipsos poll found that just 37 percent of Americans approved of Trump’s handling of the economy — down 5 points since he returned to the Oval Office earlier this year. It is the lowest figure on the topic spanning both of his presidential terms, theNearly 75 percent of U.S. adults said they are worried about a recession and more than half the respondents, 56 percent, said Trump’s retooling of the economy is “too erratic,” including about 1 in 4
After four years of strong conservative governance in Virginia, Republicans in the state are weary of a fall election cycle that could spell trouble for the GOP. Though the Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin enjoys a high approval rate in statewide polling, he is term-capped and will not feature on this November’s gubernatorial ballot.
Virginia voters will instead select between two women when they enter polling stations this fall, a historic first for the state. The former House Rep. Abigail Spanberger is besting the sitting Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears in early polling of the gubernatorial election. Spanberger also holds a considerable fundraising edge, with the former CIA operations manager

Disillusioned gangsters have splintered from Tren du Aragua to form an 'Anti-Tren' alliance terrorizing the streets of New York City.
In a shocking revelation on Tuesday, authorities said a targeted effort to crack down on the Tren du Aragua criminal enterprise in the city actually yielded unexpected results.
A total of 27 people were indicted on sweeping charges including racketeering, sex trafficking, drug, and firearms charges - but just six are current members of the feared Venezuelan gang.
The remainder - 21 people - are instead linked to a new 'splinter' gang who refer to themselves as 'Anti-Tren.'
Membership is primarily comprised of former Tren du Aragua gangsters who have become disenfranchised or ostracized
The World Economic Forum is investigating its founder and former chairman Klaus Schwab over whistleblower complaints of unethical conduct and misappropriating organization funds.
Schwab stepped down as chair and as a member of the board of trustees on Monday, just days after the board received an anonymous letter with allegations against Schwab and his wife, Hilde, according to The Wall Street Journal. Schwab had announced earlier this month that he planned to resign as the non-executive chairman of WEF by January of next year amid an investigation into the WEF’s workplace culture.
The earlier probe into WEF’s workplace culture also implicated Schwab, but the WEF said that the allegations
You’d think the mainstream press would have learned a lesson or two after committing so many embarrassing mistakes in its effort to “get” Donald Trump and cover up for Joe Biden over the past eight years. But no. It’s already back to its old and terrible habits.
Shortly after the election, Vanity Fair published a story that led with this admonition to the press: “Every outrage and insult can’t be a five-alarm fire, as it’s critical for the media to stay focused on the most serious threats to America’s democratic institutions.”
Former New York Times editor Jill Abramson cautioned her
On Tuesday’s broadcast of Newsmax TV’s “The Record,” Harvard Law Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz stated that “places like Harvard Law School don’t emphasize principle, morality, and neutrality. It’s all about who wins today.” And that produces people like Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), and Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD).
After host Greta Van Susteren referenced past Democratic support for packing the Supreme Court and how if they had done so, it would give President Donald Trump the ability to pack the court, Dershowitz stated, “It just shows you these are such short-sighted, results-oriented, partisan, do it for me now people.

A popular street food vendor who serves free meals to the homeless on L.A.’s Skid Row was brutally beaten by a suspect who remains at large. Chris Bailey, known on TikTok as @kloverkinglosangeles, can typically be seen on the busy streets of downtown Los Angeles cooking on his food cart and offering meals to those who stop by.

The California Legislative Analyst’s Office reports the state’s drug spending has doubled since 2018, with a quarter of the increase coming from weight loss drugs and an unknown portion from drugs for illegal immigrants.
Drug spending for Medi-Cal, the state’s taxpayer-funded public health care program, has increased from approximately $4 billion in the 2018-2019 fiscal year to approximately $8 billion for 2023-2024.
In the same period, Medi-Cal enrollment rose from 33.2% of the state population to 38.2%, or growth of about 15%.
So how did drug spending double despite enrollment growing just 15%?
A quarter of the doubling is from the state’s coverage of weight loss drugs such as
Three Massachusetts high school seniors — including a two-time state diving champion — were killed in a horrific car crash that also left a fourth student fighting for life during their Florida spring break vacation.
The four Concord-Carlisle High School students, all 18 years old, were driving down Highway 98 near Panama City, Fla., when their SUV collided with a tractor-trailer that was performing a U-turn around 9:28 p.m. Monday, according to reports.
The force of the wreck caused the SUV to cross the median and stop in a wooded area on the opposite side of the highway, the Florida Highway Patrol said.
Rainn Wilson, the actor best known for appearing in the comedy series ‘The Office’ recently spoke with MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle and pushed back on her when she tried to blame President Trump and Elon Musk for the loss of trust in media.
Wilson is probably not a Trump supporter himself, but he does make an excellent point about the media and their selective concerns about government.
Ruhle talks about her belief that it’s the media’s job to hold the powerful to account, and Wilson reminds her that the media did not think that way at all when Biden was in office. He is exactly right.
Political parties need votes from people, and voters do not like being murdered or seeing their countrymen killed. So you would expect all politicians to take their side on least on this. But when it comes to Democrats, you’d be wrong about that. (Snip) Democrats have long been wandering down this path, but now they seem to be running down it. And when you watch the latest chapter of this saga — the love affair between Democratic politicians and MS-13 gangsters — you almost can’t avoid asking what the political left has against our country, and why it is so
Should sitting judges — especially the controversial James Boasberg and Tanya Chutkan — be able to tell the president what other judges he can appoint? Of course not. But under the current system for selecting D.C.’s local judges, that’s exactly what happens.
It’s bad enough that those challenging Trump administration policies have sought to bring their cases before D.C. federal judges like those mentioned above, who they believe will be inclined to rule against the administration — especially on hot button issues like abortion, immigration, government spending, and trans-identifying individuals in the military, just to name a few. But what’s worse is that those same judges have been empowered
The Tennessee Star on Tuesday obtained the final deportation order issued by former U.S. Immigration Judge David M. Jones in 2019, which also granted “withholding of removal” relief, showing the judge appeared to prohibit immigration authorities from deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Guatemala, not to El Salvador, where he was born and remains a citizen.
According to the order, Abrego Garcia was given a Notice to Appear (NTA) on March 29, 2019, after the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) alleged that he is not a citizen of the United States, but instead “a native and citizen of El Salvador,”
A group of Democratic congressional reps traveled to Louisiana to visit Mahmoud Khalil and Rümeysa Öztürk in a pair of federal detention centers on Tuesday as both face potential removal from the United States.
Five lawmakers — including Rep. Troy Carter, of Louisiana; Rep. Bennie Thompson, of Mississippi; and Reps. Ayanna Pressley, Jim McGovern and Sen. Ed Markey, all of Massachusetts — stopped by a federal Immigration of Customs Enforcement facility in Jena to see Khalil and then traveled to Basile, where Öztürk is detained, CNN reported.
Colombian President Gustavo Petro revealed Tuesday that he believes the Trump administration has revoked his travel visa to the US.
Petro, who earlier this year caved to pressure from President Trump to accept deported migrants, made the claim during a Cabinet meeting in Bogota, as he explained why he couldn’t participate in spring meetings hosted by the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank in Washington, DC.
“I can no longer go because I believe they took away my visa,” Petro said.
The Department of Health and Human Services will hand out over $20 million in “diversity” grants this year aimed at increasing the number of minority nurses, even as the Trump administration has sought to crack down on diversity, equity, and inclusion.
The purpose of the initiative, known as the Nursing Workforce Diversity (NWP) Program, is to “increase nursing education opportunities for individuals who are from disadvantaged backgrounds (including racial and ethnic minorities underrepresented among registered nurses).” It is administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration, an agency of HHS, and has distributed nearly $200 million in grants since 2008.

Over the past two decades, a reclusive Swiss billionaire has poured more than $800 million into left-wing causes across America, and now states are fighting back.
Hansjörg Wyss, 89, a Swiss national with an estimated net worth of roughly five billion dollars, has quietly become one of the most influential donors on the American left. He has spent more than $800 million bankrolling hundreds of left-wing causes across the United States, donating millions to climate change groups, abortion activists, and the Clinton Foundation.
Information about him is sparse, but his sister once wrote that Wyss seeks to “(re)interpret the American Constitution in the light of progressive politics.”
Minnesota attorney general Keith Ellison was not aware of a federal investigation into the sprawling Feeding Our Future fraud scheme when he took a friendly meeting with its perpetrators in December 2021, he said in a Star Tribune op-ed. His defense flatly contradicts a statement his office released months after the meeting crediting him with working "for two solid years" to "hold Feeding Our Future accountable," including by assisting the investigation in its early stages.
Ellison has faced scrutiny from Republican lawmakers after a conservative think tank in the state, the Center of the American Experiment, released an audio recording of the meeting, during which Ellison told the fraudsters
Conservative Christians have flooded social media with support for Cardinal Robert Sarah to succeed the late Pope Francis because of his strong traditionalist stands on sexuality and church doctrine as well as his opposition to mass immigration and Islamism.
Why It Matters
The rising profile of the African cardinal, 79, comes at a time of ideological division within Catholicism, as the Church grapples with questions of modernity, sexual identity, and religious pluralism, and also as more right wing political movements in Europe and elsewhere have challenged what they see as the orthodoxy of a liberal global elite.
Unlike Pope Francis—who often leaned into progressive stances on social justice and inclusion—
