The masked bandit who stole Homeland Security Kristi Noem’s pricey Gucci bag containing $3,000 in cash and other personal items has been arrested, sources told The Post Saturday.
Noem, 53, was on an Easter outing with her family at The Capital Burger in Washington, DC, when the hooded thief stole the luxury shoulder bag, which also contained her driver’s license, passport, DHS badge and apartment keys on April 20.
The suspect’s identity was not immediately available. The perp is expected to appear in court early next week, sources said.
The bag, available for $4,400 per the label’s website, was on the ground

to Travel Through Suez, Panama Canals
Without Charge 7 replies
President Donald Trump called for military and commercial ships from the United States to be able to travel through the Suez and Panama Canals without facing a fee, and added that he had directed Secretary of State Marco Rubio to take care of the issue.
“American Ships, both Military and Commercial, should be allowed to travel, free of charge, through the Panama and Suez Canals!” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. “Those Canals would not exist without the United States of America. I’ve asked Secretary of State Marco Rubio to immediately take care of, and memorialize, this situation!”
China: Fentanyl Is Not Our Problem

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun insisted on Friday that “fentanyl is the U.S.’s problem, not China’s.”
“The U.S. and the U.S. alone has the responsibility to solve it,” Guo said at a press briefing.
“Despite the goodwill China has shown, the U.S. slapped tariffs on Chinese imports and blames it on fentanyl. This is bullying through and through, and highly damaging to dialogue and cooperation on counter-narcotics,” he complained.
“The U.S. should know that vilifying others will not hide its failed responsibility, to punish those who try to help will not solve any problem, and intimidation or threats are certainly not the right way to engage with China,” he said.
The left-wing Labour Party government in Britain has reportedly launched an initiative to offer private landlords five-year deals to house illegal migrants as increased crossings of the English Channel have put further pressure on the asylum system.
Despite the housing crisis in the UK, which has prevented many young Britons from getting on the property ladder, taxpayers are likely to be footing the bill for more houses to be devoted to supposed asylum seekers.
According to a report from The Telegraph, Serco, a private contractor that assists the Home Office in dealing with illegal migrants and alleged asylum seekers, has begun contacting landlords, investment property owners, and real estate agents in
During a discussion of the Supreme Court case over parental objections to certain books in public schools in Maryland and the parents requesting to opt out on Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA) stated that he thinks there should be reasonable accommodations for parents who have objections on both religious and non-religious grounds on certain materials and Republicans are the ones “predominantly” making “LGBT or trans youth” “the fulcrum of culture warfare.”
Schiff stated, “I want school to be a safe and nurturing place for everyone. And so, my number one priority is to make sure we’re not adding to the difficulty that LGBT or trans youth
Former Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D-IL) is open to the idea of running for an Illinois senate seat as a MAGA Republican, telling Breitbart News Saturday, “never say never” when asked.
Blagojevich spoke about what he predicts to be a historic midterm election — historically bad for Democrats — when host Matthew Boyle asked if he is considering a political comeback, given his past scandal while he served as the Democratic governor of Illinois from 2003 to 2009. Blagojevich was impeached following charges of public corruption and served nearly eight years of a 14-year sentence. President Donald Trump has since pardoned him.

The border is secure under President Trump, but four years of crooked Joe Biden is still evident in the number of illegals and human smugglers in the United States.
Texas DPS pursued a smuggler of illegal aliens in Webb County on a high-speed chase that resulted in a crash.
The human smuggler, Carlos Alejandro Hernandez Briones, was driving a red Chevrolet Tahoe and refused to stop for DPS troopers. After crashing the vehicle, Briones, along with two illegal aliens jumped into the Rio Grande to swim to Mexico. The two illegals made it successfully while Briones was not able to make it. The troopers tossed him
Last year, I moved to Kentucky—not to escape the chaos of California, but to build something better. I wanted to be somewhere people still believed in work, community, and country. You feel that spirit in the coal towns etched into the hills of Appalachian Kentucky. Places where people don’t need lectures on consuming energy—they produce it.
That’s why Trump’s recent executive order promoting coal harvesting stood out to me, not as a policy wonk, but as someone who’s chosen to root himself here. For the first time in years, Washington is acknowledging that the American interior matters. Our energy future won’t be engineered in Davos or Silicon Valley.
A self-described Hamas operative who infiltrated the US Air Force and once boasted that he’s “been a terrorist since he’s been a kid” was busted alongside two Pittsburgh women after the feds foiled an apparent terror plot involving a pair of pipe bombs, the Justice Department announced this week.

Former Rep. George Santos (R-NY) has asked that President Donald Trump give him a chance to prove that he is "more than the mistakes" he has made after the former lawmaker was sentenced to 7 years in prison after he pleaded guilty to wire fraud and aggravated identity theft. Santos said that he would like a pardon for the "over the top politically influenced sentence."
On Friday, Santos wrote on X, “This is the hardest statement I have ever written. I write this humbled, chastened, and fully accountable for choices that shattered the faith so many placed in me. I betrayed the confidence entrusted to me by many. For that,
The Wisconsin judge busted for allegedly helping illegal immigrants evade law enforcement was once a finalist for a “Most Trusted Public Official” award by a liberal local newspaper — but came up short of winning.
But Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan lost the first place slot for the coveted award by local media outlet Shepherd Express to retired Judge Derek Mosely.
She was among four other finalists in 2021 for the accolade, which was determined by a vote from the public. Shepherd Express had also Sen. Jon Johnson (R-Wis.) as the most “despised” politicians alongside other Republicans at the time.
Texas taxpayers paid nearly $122 million to provide Healthcare to illegal migrants in November alone, says the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC).
The Texas HSHC is reporting that the costs to the state for health care for illegal migrants has topped $121.8 million in unpaid care in just the month of November alone. And that estimate is probably low.
In its report, the HHSC reported that non-citizens utilized hospitals in the Lone Star State more than 31,000 time during November of last year.
The data was taken from the state’s new reporting requirements mandated by an executive order that went into effect

Susan Rice, an ally of Barack Obama who served in multiple roles in both his and Joe Biden's administrations, called Pete Hegseth 'dumb as a rock' after he fired her from a Pentagon policy board.
Rice, 60, was the United States' Ambassador to the United Nations during Obama's first term and served as his National Security Advisor for his second.
She also spent two years as the director of the Domestic Policy Council under Biden and has served as a member of the Defense Policy Board Advisory Committee at the Pentagon.
On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” New York Times columnist Bret Stephens discussed the first 100 days of the second Trump administration and stated that “the good news, I think, for the country is it’s the worst first 100 days in the U.S. presidential history” because “a lot of the country that voted for President Trump because they didn’t like the course of the country under his predecessor because they were mad, because they thought stuff needed to be broken up and disrupted are waking up to the reality of just how much worse it can get.” And “if it had been a successful first 100 days, if it
Susan Rice Throws a Tantrum

Susan Rice got fired the other day by Pete Hegseth. As a member of the Pentagon's Defense Policy Board Advisory Committee for the last two years, she was canned along with a number of others because the DOD Director decided that their services were no longer needed.
Rice, a long-time government employee and ally of the Obama-Biden kabal, wasted no time in going on both social media and MSNBC to whine and stomp her feet. Calling Hegseth "dumb as a rock," Rice said:
Well, if you’re a white male Christian cisgender macho MAGA man, you can be as dumb as a rock
Sen. Adam Schiff revealed that his luggage was stolen in South San Francisco two years ago, and that a clerk in a nearby Target afterwards “basically said in not so many words, yeah, Democrats are a—holes” when he went shopping for toiletries.
The Golden State senator used the anecdote to acknowledge that Democrats have a “major problem” and are fundamentally “going to have to change how we do business in California.”
“We’re going to have to address people’s legitimate concerns about crime,” Schiff (D-Calif.) reflected on “Real Time with Bill Maher” Friday.
“I thought, you know, if the cashier in San Francisco at 10:00 at night believes that Democrats are
Former UN Ambassador and Obama National Security Advisor erupted after she was canned from the Pentagon’s Defense Police Board.
The board’s role is to provide the Secretary of Defense and the Deputy Secretary of Defense with independent, informed advice and opinions concerning matters of defense policy.
Rice found out she was sacked on Thursday night.
The Daily Beast reported:
Her sacking was announced late Thursday evening, with the Defense Department issuing a statement that read, “changes are needed
It is no laughing matter. The annual dinner for journalists who cover the White House is best known for American presidents trying to be funny and comedians trying to be political. But this year’s edition will feature neither.
Instead the event in a downtown Washington hotel on Saturday night will, critics say, resemble something closer to a wake for legacy media still trying to find an effective response to Donald Trump’s divide-and-rule tactics and the rise of the Maga media ecosystem.
Joe Biden’s effort to restore norms included the former president giving humorous speeches at the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) annual dinner.
Virginia Giuffre, the most prominent victim of late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, took her own life Thursday — just weeks after she made headlines for saying she had “four days to live” following a collision with a bus.
“It is with utterly broken hearts that we announce that Virginia passed away last night at her farm in Western Australia,” the 41-year-old’s family said in a statement to NBC News.
“She lost her life to suicide, after being a lifelong victim of sexual abuse and sex trafficking.”
First responders found Giuffre unresponsive in her home near Perth, and local authorities said her death is being probed by Major Crime detectives,

Former President Biden was seen gripping his wife Jill and a priest as he walked down a set of steps at Pope Francis's funeral on Saturday.
Biden, 82, clasped onto the priest's forearm as he made a rare public appearance at the Vatican's Saint Peter's Square.
Wearing a pair of his favored aviator sunglasses and a black suit, he was joined by the former First Lady as they took their seats several rows behind world leaders.

Former President Joe Biden and wife Jill Biden arrived at Saint Peter’s Square in Vatican City Saturday morning for Pope Francis’ funeral.
The 82-year-old, who met Pope Francis three times as vice president, held onto his wife and a priest as he cautiously walked down the stairs to the seating area.
The Bidens are not sitting near President Donald Trump as they are not current heads of state. Instead, they are sitting further back in the foreign dignitaries section.

On March 25, at a high school in Katy, TX, a teenage girl named Brooklynn Gianfrancesco was assaulted by a male classmate who, according to reports, had been harassing her for some time:
Viral video from inside the Taylor High School in Katy shows the moment a teenage boy slaps a girl in the face as they stand in the front of the class last month, shocking everyone.
The girl points out what had just happened to the teacher, who stands frozen. The girl then takes a swing at the boy, who had been allegedly tormenting her all year.
The two wrestle each other to the ground,
A lefty Wisconsin jurist is threatening not to hold court following Friday’s arrest of Milwaukee judge for allegedly helping a Mexican illegal migrant evade federal immigration officers.
Monica Isham, a circuit judge Sawyer County, defended Judge Hannah Dugan Saturday, claiming in an email to other state judges that she “has no intention of allowing anyone to be taken out of my courtroom by [Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents] and sent to a concentration camp,” Wisconsin Right Now first reported.
Isham, who in 2023 became the first Native American elected to the county’s circuit court, also threatened to “start raising bail money” for defendants.
