For reasons that defy logic (but are easily explained as default emotional opposition), the Democrats and the press have been yoking themselves to figures in the deportation news cycles that are consistently problematic. In the furor to automatically oppose President Trump in any activity and policy, it is a baffling reality to see the insistence that deeply flawed, violent, and illegal individuals be allowed to remain in the U.S. And it has cast the media in a position of idiocy. Note that we rarely see reports now about Mahmoud Khalil, who was initially held up as a wrongfully detained student not granted due process. His name has dissipated

Dozens of notorious Tren de Aragua gangsters have been arrested at the border after seemingly blindingly following their Google maps onto an international bridge teeming with US immigration agents.
About 40 TdA members were arrested at Ambassador Bridge which connects Detroit, Michigan to Canada - and they weren't even trying to sneak into the US or Canada.
The gangsters had simply been following their GPS which routed them on to the well-secured international crossing, where shocked agents took them into custody. Retired FBI agent Dan Brunner, who spent years tracking down migrant gang MS-13, estimates there are 3,000 to 5,000 mobsters associated with the South American syndicate in the US.
A conservative nonprofit is threatening to sue after an Atlanta-based band canceled less than 24 hours before its scheduled performance at a conservative conference Friday.
The Job Creators Network hosted its annual “Freedom Fighters Summit and Gala” in Savannah, and the band Yacht Rock Schooner signed a contract to perform. The band canceled Thursday, claiming that it agreed to perform on the premise that the event was apolitical. At the time of the cancellation, the summit had already been well underway. The band performs music from the ’70s and early ’80s for dance parties.
“The band Yacht Rock Schooner defied a 45-day contractual cancellation notice and
John Fetterman’s camera-thirsty wife has done him dirty.
New York Magazine published a hit piece on the Pennsylvania senator Friday, airing grievances from his staffers who are concerned about his mental health, his views on the Israel-Gaza War. The piece also shed light on Fetterman’s relationship with his left-wing wife, Gisele, who secretly communicated with his staff and made a political disagreement into a full-blown argument. According to the outlet, Gisele visited her husband’s senate office in November 2023, weeks after Hamas attacked Israel, and got into a heated debate about the burgeoning war and her husband’s support for the Israeli state. Gisele also went behind her husband’s back,
Tim Walz’s own daughter just gave the best evidence yet that he is completely insane.
Kate Mackz, a popular running influencer who conducts interviews with people while … running, recently visited the White House to take a tour with press secretary Karoline Leavitt. On Thursday, Walz’s daughter, Hope, weighed in on the visit with a take that contained a kernel of truth but was nonetheless delusional, hinting at her father’s failure as a … father. “Running as an act is political. And you know who taught me that? Tim Walz,” Hope told his TikTok following. “The first thing he told me when I was getting into it in high school

Democratic Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman reportedly displayed distressing behavior during an extended mental health crisis that left people in his orbit deeply concerned about the senator’s condition, according to New York Magazine.
Fetterman suffered a stroke in 2022 while running for the senate seat he now occupies, and he checked in to Walter Reed hospital in March 2023 for extensive treatment for depression. New York Magazine’s piece — based on interviews with Fetterman and numerous people in his orbit — reports that the senator’s mental health situation has been more troubling than publicly acknowledged.
Narciso Amador Fernández Ramírez, a known propagandist of Cuba’s communist Castro regime, is allegedly living in the United States thanks to the Biden-era “Humanitarian Parole” program, Cuban-American journalist Mario Pentón reported on Thursday.
The outlet Cubanet described Fernández Ramírez, 65, as a former deputy director of Vanguardia, the official newspaper of the Communist Party of Cuba (PCC) in the central province of Villa Clara, who also served as columnist for the state propaganda outlet Cubahora. The communist propagandist is known in Cuba for vehemently insulting the Cuban diaspora in the United States, branding its members as “rats,” gusanos (“maggots”), and “mercenaries.”
President Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and State Department are announcing the removal of Romania from the Visa Waiver Program (VWP). Former President Joe Biden, in a last-minute move, admitted Romania to the VWP despite national security concerns.
DHS and the State Department, Breitbart News has learned, are removing Romania from the VWP after a review of the Eastern European country’s admittance was concluded. The VWP is a coveted benefit that allows foreign nationals from designated countries to bypass having to obtain a visa to secure entry to the United States, and allowing them to stay in the country for up to 90 days visa-free.

China, Hiding Transfers From Users, EU
Regulators Say replies
TikTok must pay a €530 million ($600 million) fine after Irish regulators said Friday that the Chinese-owned video-sharing app illegally sent European users' data to China.
TikTok, whose EU headquarters is in Ireland, violated the 27-nation bloc's data protection rules by transferring personal data of European users to China without proper safeguards, the Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) announced following a four-year investigation. The regulators also found that between 2020 and 2022, TikTok failed to disclose to users that Chinese staffers could access user data, Politico reported. The fine comes as TikTok has long faced scrutiny over its alleged ties to the Chinese Communist Party.

President Donald Trump's pick for U.S. surgeon general, Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, has been making the rounds on Capitol Hill, garnering support ahead of her upcoming confirmation hearing, with senators describing her as a "fierce" advocate for the "Make America Healthy Again" (MAHA) movement.
Sources familiar with her confirmation hearing prep told Fox News Digital that Nesheiwat has had many "productive meetings" on Capitol Hill regarding her nomination. Nesheiwat recently met with the staff for the Senate HELP Committee, along with all the health policy GOP staffers. Sources said those staffers have expressed support for her nomination as medical director in the Public Health Service and surgeon general.
Transportation Sec. Sean Duffy suggested that the department has accomplished more during the first 100 days of President Donald Trump's second term than President Joe Biden and former Transportation Sec. Pete Buttigieg accomplished in four years.
Duffy made the assertion when sharing a post by Buttigieg, who became Transportation secretary not long after Biden took office in 2021.
"100 days into this presidency, Americans are paying the price - higher prices, crashing retirement accounts, and broken promises. But the American people are turning, thanks to your voices. Keep it up. It's up to us to demand something better," Buttigieg wrote in the post, which also included a video of him speaking.

The Trump administration has reached a settlement with the family of Ashli Babbitt, the Trump supporter who was shot and killed while in the mob breaching the House Speaker's Lobby on Jan. 6, 2021.
Multiple sources told CBS News the settlement has been reached in principle but is not yet signed. In a court proceeding Friday, a plaintiff's attorney confirmed the settlement in principle was reached. It would avert a trial and further proceedings in a $30 million civil suit filed by the conservative activist group Judicial Watch on behalf of Babbitt's estate, including her late husband.
Babbitt's death was a rallying point for Trump loyalists
White House insiders are buzzing about the possibility of Stephen Miller, President Trump’s top policy and homeland security adviser, replacing Mike Waltz as national security adviser following Thursday’s administration shakeup.
Trump, 78, shifted Waltz, 51, out of leadership at the National Security Council and nominated him to be ambassador to the United Nations. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, 53, will serve as national security adviser on an acting basis.
People close to the administration described Miller as a possibility for the post due to his hardline views on immigration — one of Trump’s top domestic and foreign policy priorities.
Michelle Obama is complaining again, and this time it’s about how “expensive” it was living in the White House while her husband was president.
The 61-year-old former first lady discussed her woes during an appearance this week on “The Diary of a CEO” podcast.
“How do you raise kids in the White House? It’s dangerous,” Obama said. “As the first black potential president, we knew there would be death threats … how would we afford it? Because it’s expensive to live in the White House, as many people don’t know.”
“I mean, much is not covered,” she continued. “You’re paying for every food, every bit of food that you eat, you know,
The Environmental Protection Agency will save $300 million per year through a massive reorganization by completely slashing unnecessary climate programs and reducing staffing levels to levels not seen since the Reagan administration, the agency announced Friday.
Administrator Lee Zeldin said the streamlined reorganization is oriented towards focusing on the agency’s “core mission,” which he defines as “protecting human health and the environment.” Rather than focusing on environmental justice, it will focus on its statutory responsibilities such as air quality and safety of the water supply. “With these organizational improvements, we recommit to fulfilling all of our statutory obligations and exceptionally delivering on EPA’s core mission of protecting human health and the
Texas, We Have a Problem

Across Texas, something deeply troubling is taking shape — a quiet but deliberate transformation of our communities, institutions, and values under the guise of “religious freedom.” What’s happening isn’t random. It’s not isolated. It’s part of a calculated strategy that’s now impossible to ignore — a strategy that uses America’s own Constitution as a weapon.
The most glaring example? A 402-acre master plan near Josephine, Texas, known as EPIC City. Marketed as a peaceful, self-sustained Muslim community, its design is far more ambitious: a mosque, school system, senior housing, a college, commercial centers — even law offices that align with Islamic legal doctrine. Over a thousand homes, all structured under the
“This American empire must fall”
This statement did not come from Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, from Vladimir Putin of Russia, or from China’s Xi Jinping. It came from a Muslim American resident of Dearborn, Michigan, who added: “People are willing to fight and put their lives on the line to bring these Western empires down.”
It is a chilling reminder that calls for the destruction of America and Western civilization are not limited to distant regimes. These ideas are now echoed within our own communities, on college campuses, on online platforms, and through nonprofit organizations.
Following the violent protests and encampments that claimed to target Israel, many Americans began to understand the
Israel managed to contain one of the largest wildfires in the country’s history this week without losing any structures to the blaze — unlike California, which saw tens of thousands of structures destroyed in January. As Breitbart News reported, the fires burned near Jerusalem and consumed over 5,000 acres. However, firefighters were “miraculously” able to keep the blaze from reaching homes or structures, and no one died. One engine (pictured above) was lost, and several people suffered injuries that were treated at hospitals. The conditions in both fires were very similar: high winds, dry conditions, and brush that could easily catch fire. Drivers were evacuated on major roads
The Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA) reports that Medicaid enrollment has increased by 60% since 2012, with a significant portion of this growth driven by able-bodied adults, including those earning 138% above the poverty line. This expansion has led to concerns about the program’s sustainability and whether resources are being diverted from the most vulnerable populations.
Most of the able-bodied, including those above the poverty line, don’t work. That shouldn’t surprise anyone. If they work, they will be above the poverty line and won’t collect. They’re incentivized not to work. The system needs fixing. While 41 states, including the District of Columbia, have adopted Medicaid expansion, 19 states have not.
Legendary PGA Golfer Phil Mickelson unleashed on Chuck Schumer, calling the New York Democratic senator a “traitor” to the United States of America.
On Wednesday, Mickelson reposted footage of Schumer speaking about his opposition to Republicans’ SAVE Act, a bill that would require proof of citizenship to vote, to the social media platform X.
Schumer smugly addressed Republicans in Congress, stating, “The SAVE Act is dead on arrival.” He also assured the Senate that Democrats would not be moving forward a bill that he considered “very reminiscent of Jim Crow.” Schumer believes Republicans “want to have Jim Crow spread from one end of this country to the other.”

Late last year, Dale Earnhardt's widow made a plan to sell 400 acres of his Mooresville farm land, and turn it into an industrial park. That's right. An industrial park! Those insufferable, disgusting-looking buildings that nobody ever, ever, goes into? Those!
Anyway, the proposal was shot down at the time, which was great news for patriots – and NASCAR fans – across the country. Done deal, right? We could all move on,
70-year-old U.S. Rep. Shri Thanedar – Detroit’s Democratic millionaire-turned-U.S. congressman – is facing a primary challenge from two Black Democrats who want to restore Black representation to Detroit.
Challenging Thanedar is not just about policy differences; it’s about representation, authenticity, and a community demanding its voice back from this incumbent who won his seat in a nine-way primary in 2022 with only 28.3% of the votes. According to the Associated Press, that victory in Detroit, as well as his re-election in 2022 – in a city that is 80% Black – left the community without Black congressional representation for the first time in over 70 years.
A Justice Department pardon attorney who was recently fired claims President Donald Trump’s pardons is depriving the government of a significant sum of money, and she’s big mad about it. Liz Oyer has been active on TikTok slamming the Trump administration over the pardons — and likely the fact that the president canned her.
In a recent video, she claimed Trump “has granted pardons that have wiped out over $1 billion in debts owed by wealthy Americans.”

But Rojas apparently crossed the border at least one more time and remained undetected by immigration authorities until NYPD cops arrested him Sunday night in connection to the shocking defilement of 37-year-old family man Jorge Gonzalez,
California's beleaguered pot industry was given another piece of bad news Thursday afternoon: The state cannabis tax rate will increase from 15% to 19% on July 1, the highest allowed by state law. The 26% change, devised by Gov. Gavin Newsom, is ironically being made precisely because the state's legal industry is floundering while the illicit market thrives. (Snip) Jerred Kiloh, the president of the United Cannabis Business Association, said the tax increase will only make it harder for legal stores to offer cannabis at a price point that competes with illegal stores.

The Trump White House’s fiscal year 2026 budget proposal calls for boosting the U.S. military budget to $1 trillion and increasing funding on immigration enforcement, while cutting $163 billion in spending across the State Department, Department of Education, and Environmental Protection Agency, among other agencies.
The White House’s budget request raises military spending by 13 percent and Department of Homeland Security appropriations by nearly 65 percent to address defense and border security priorities, according to a White House outline of the funding request.

U.S. stocks moved sharply higher Friday following a better than expected April jobs report. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 612 points, or 1.5%. The S&P 500 gained 1.6% to extend its recent winning streak, and the Nasdaq added 1.8% following a spate of Big Tech earnings this week.
President Donald Trump took to Truth Social following the jobs report, renewing his frequent calls for Fed Chair Jerome Powell to lower interest rates. “Just like I said, and we’re only in a TRANSITION STAGE, just getting started!!!” he said. “Consumers have been waiting for years to see pricing come down. NO INFLATION, THE FED SHOULD LOWER ITS RATE!!!”
The Trump administration is reportedly feeling good after a better-than-expected April jobs report, as Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer claims this marks the beginning of a new golden age.
"With President Trump at the helm, I'm telling you, he mentioned to the American people over and over again that the golden age was coming. I will tell you, the golden age is here," the secretary said on "Varney & Co." Friday.
"This is another great jobs report, exactly what the market expected, better than expected. And I couldn't be more honored to serve under the president with these jobs numbers,"
I once heard a comic say, “Hitler – a man widely known for liking large dogs and small children – wasn’t really evil. He just had a bad day. Sure, it lasted twelve years and caused twenty million deaths, but it was basically just a bad day.” Which is, of course, pure crap, and even if it was funny (I didn’t laugh), everybody knew Adolf Hitler was a monster with a Charlie Chaplin moustache.
Unfortunately, today, the Dem Progressives (pronounced “Damn Progressives,” but you already knew that), with nothing both real and bad to say about President Trump, have just decided to call him 'Hitler.'

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson slammed "relentless attacks" on judges, adding that they are "designed to intimidate." Jackson didn't mention President Trump by name in her comments Thursday, but said she was addressing “the elephant in the room,” likely referring to calls for impeachment of judges by him and others amid blocks on Trump's policies, Politico reported. “The attacks are not random. They seem designed to intimidate those of us who serve in this critical capacity,” Jackson said at a judges’ conference in Puerto Rico. “The threats and harassment are attacks on our democracy, on our system of government.
Goldman Sachs has scrubbed mentions of “Black” and other references to race from its official website touting a diversity initiative amid an industrywide rollback of so-called DEI programs and increasing scrutiny from the Trump administration, according to a report.
In 2021, the Wall Street giant launched the “One Million Black Women” program in which it pledged $10 billion in investments and $100 million in philanthropy specifically aimed at supporting black women.
Goldman in recent weeks has revised promotional language for its “One Million Black Women” initiative, removing explicit references to race and reframing the program in more generic economic terms, the Wall Street Journal reported.
President Trump said Republicans should start to think about expelling Democrats who file articles of impeachment against him from Congress, railing against two members who backed a recent resolution against him.
“The Democrats are really out of control. They have lost everything, especially their minds! These Radical Left Lunatics are into the ‘Impeachment thing’ again,” Trump wrote late Thursday on Truth Social. “They have already got two ‘No Name,’ little respected Congressmen, total Whackjobs both, throwing the ‘Impeachment’ of Donald J. Trump around, for about the 20th time, even though they have no idea for what I would be Impeached.”

California governor Gavin Newsom (D.) recently awarded taxpayer funds under a state antiterrorism program to a San Diego mosque that has been linked to 9/11 hijackers and whose imam defended the Hamas attack on Israel.
Newsom, considered a top 2028 presidential contender, awarded nearly $200,000 to the Islamic Center of San Diego in March as part of a program to help religious institutions and nonprofits beef up security to protect against potential terrorist attacks, according to state records.

China is quietly exempting numerous U.S. imports from its retaliatory tariff on American goods, a sign that the Chinese economy is taking a hit in the trade war with the Trump administration, Bloomberg reported on Friday.
A list circulating among businesses shows that 131 items, including pharmaceuticals and industrial chemicals, are not being slapped by China’s tariff as multiple companies have been able to get the products into China without paying a duty, according to Bloomberg. The unconfirmed list makes up 24% of Chinese imports from the United States, worth around $40 billion.

Republicans in Congress are attempting to overturn California's clean car rule that would ban the sales of gas-powered cars starting in 2035. The move has raised concerns about its practicality from automakers and the energy sector.
The U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday voted 246-164 on a GOP resolution to express congressional disapproval of California's Advanced Clean Cars II rule, which was first adopted in 2022 and establishes a minimum percentage of zero-emission cars that rises from 35% for the 2026 model year to 100% in 2035.
Before the Biden administration left office, it granted a Clean Air Act waiver to California in December to allow the rule to move forward.
Amazon may have walked back plans to display import costs at the digital checkout to consumers — but Chinese company Temu is going the opposite way.
Since President Donald Trump whacked China with import tariffs up to 145%, Temu has begun making the added import tax visible to all customers at checkout — where the cost of shipping, sales tax, and import charges are added to the subtotal, NYNext has learned.
The inflammatory move — Amazon’s similar plan was dropped after swift political blowback — is likely the doing of the ruling Chinese Communist Party, designed to undermine the US and Trump, according to sources.
Frustrated by long delays and rising costs, President Donald Trump is no longer waiting around for Boeing to deliver the new Air Force One. According to a report from The Wall Street Journal, the federal government has decided to refurbish a used Boeing 747 aircraft that once belonged to the Qatari government — a bold move as Trump eyes a quicker solution. The U.S. government has reportedly hired defense contractor L3Harris Technologies to revamp the plane, which Trump hopes to begin using as early as this fall. This refurbished jet is not meant to permanently replace Air Force One, but it could serve as a temporary solution until
The hunt for the origins of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, AKA COVID-19, has become a government-wide investigation. The intelligence community, public health agencies, scientific research departments, and colleges and university labs are all trying to unravel the mystery of how a bat disease made the jump to humans. The Chinese Communists have an answer. They claim the pandemic originated in America.
A Chinese government-sponsored propaganda paper states, "The US should cease from shifting blame and evading responsibility, stop finding external excuses for its internal malaise, and genuinely reflect on and overhaul its public health policies. The US cannot continue to turn a deaf ear to the numerous questions over its conduct."

Newly obtained documents from a lawsuit against the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) under the Biden administration reveal that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) knowingly released convicted sex offenders into the United States, requiring them to complete specific forms outlining post-release obligations.The forms mandated that these individuals commit to registering for a "sexual deviancy counseling program within 14 days and provide ICE with written proof of such within 30 days." Additionally, the documents required the released offenders to "register as a sex offender, if applicable, within 7 days of being released, with the appropriate agency(s) and provide ICE with written proof of such within 10 days."
Prince Harry has lost his appeal against the UK government over taxpayer-funded security.
During a two-day hearing at a London court last month, the Duke of Sussex, 40, claimed he had been singled out for “unjustified and inferior treatment” when he and his family were stripped of their publicly funded security detail.
On Friday, Sir Geoffrey Vos, Lord Justice David Bean and Lord Justice Andrew Edis announced the ruling — which comes as a huge blow to the “Spare” author and his wife, Meghan Markle, who has refused to return to the UK following Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in September 2022.

Vice President JD Vance on Thursday slammed former President Joe Biden’s administration during a speech at Nucor Steel Berkeley for deciding that products would be made overseas instead of in the United States.
Vance said that over the last few decades, political leaders forgot about the “core part of American national identity” by allowing the U.S. to rely on foreign powers for essential goods. The vice president said manufacturing facilities like Nucor immensely struggled over the last four years due to the Biden administration’s “crushing environmental regulations.”
“For a couple decades, though, our leaders forgot about that core part of American national identity. They decided that America
Germany’s domestic intelligence agency has officially classified the right-wing party Alternative for Germany (AfD) as extremist.
Having regarded the AfD as a suspected extremist movement since 2021, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), on May 2 designated the populist party as “right-wing extremist,” following an “intensive and comprehensive expert examination.”
This means that intelligence services now have the right to keep it under surveillance.BfV said in a statement that AfD’s approach to ethnicity is “not compatible with the free democratic basic order.”
According to BfV’s statement, AfD does not consider German nationals with a migration background from Muslim-origin countries as equal members of the German people.
In what universe does it make sense that the President of the United States has to sign an executive order to stop illegal aliens from receiving Social Security benefits? That’s not just an absurd headline—it’s a tragic indictment of how far this nation has strayed from the rule of law, common sense, and constitutional integrity.
Let’s get one thing straight: illegal immigrants are already barred from receiving Social Security benefits. Full stop. It’s enshrined in federal law, constitutional precedent, and the very fabric of what it means to be a sovereign nation. Yet here we are, once again watching a president step in with a pen
The Department of Government Efficiency noticed a snag: the sign-in button on the IRS homepage wasn’t where it ought to be. Instead of the upper right-hand corner where we, the people, have been trained to look for logins, it was stacked with other buttons in the middle of the page. It was not too hard to find, but its unusual placement disrupted the interface between taxpayers and tax collectors.
It was a simple fix. Yet an IRS engineer reportedly estimated that it would take at least 103 days to move the button. Thankfully, Elon Musk’s team posted last month on X, “This engineer worked with the DOGE team

Former Democratic Colorado Rep. Yadira Caraveo reportedly attempted to take her own life twice in 2024 while serving in Congress and campaigning for reelection.
The apparent suicide attempts, in February and April, involved high doses of prescription medication that prompted emergency responses to her home and congressional office, according to The Colorado Sun. Both events were previously undisclosed to the public and only came to light as Caraveo announced a new bid for Congress this year. Emergency records reviewed by the outlet show that police responded to Caraveo’s Thornton residence on Feb. 8, 2024, after aides called 911 and reported suicidal behavior. Caraveo allegedly told officers she had taken
Republican Michigan Rep. John James believes the fate of President Donald Trump’s agenda in the upcoming midterm cycle could run through the battleground state.
James, an Iraq War veteran and a vocal ally of President Donald Trump, announced his 2026 gubernatorial run to succeed term-limited Democratic Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer on April 7. The two-term lawmaker argued he is the best candidate positioned to flip the governorship red and advance the president’s America First agenda in Michigan, in an exclusive interview with the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, has released a series of emails from 2022 showing the FBI attempted to crush a member of the first Trump administration for refusing to bow to the Jan. 6 Committee’s unlawful demands.
Grassley explains the emails in an April 29 letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel.
“My office has obtained Biden administration emails regarding the investigation and later prosecution of Peter Navarro,” Grassley wrote. “These communications provide a behind-the-scenes snapshot of some of the actions taken by the FBI’s Washington Field Office (WFO) to investigate Navarro for contempt of Congress and obstruction.”
With the passing of Pope Francis, the Catholic Church is entering a defining moment. The two sides, one rooted in tradition and the other pushing for so-called progress, are battling for control of the Church’s future. On one side, the progressive cardinals are scattered and unsure because their messaging has failed. On the other hand, the conservative cardinals have rallied with a focus on unity. A message that’s gaining a lot of traction and reshaping the conversation.
The Catholic Church would look so different today if the conservative and traditional Pope Benedict had remained in power.
Giving the commencement address at the University of Alabama on Thursday night, President Donald Trump brought roars from the crowd when he praised the graduates while ripping Harvard University.
Trump has targeted Harvard for its lackadaisical attitude regarding antisemitism and its general adherence to leftist ideologies; on Wednesday, he suggested the federal government might stop giving grants to the university. The Trump administration has frozen $2.3 billion in federal funds for Harvard and begun a formal review into roughly $9 billion in funding for the university. “We believe the South is beautiful, Alabama is great, and America is our home,” Trump told the Alabama graduates. “We believe in the SEC
Editor’s note: This is the fourth installment of a six-part series by pollster Brent Buchanan on the politics of the American South. Last week, Buchanan broke down the unique features and critical importance of the Southern suburbs. Today, he takes a close look at North Carolina.
We hope you enjoy.
It might sound like a stretch to think voting behavior and political divides in one of the South’s most consequential swing states could be explained by barbecue sauce.
But that’s exactly what we found in North Carolina.
In both barbecue sauce and politics, North Carolina’s “split personality” is rooted in centuries-old settlement patterns and evolving demographics.
As most of our readers know, beloved Salem Radio Network host Dennis Prager suffered a devastating fall from a ladder in November and is paralyzed below the neck.
I reported in early March:
[His son] David said his father suffered an "incomplete" spinal cord injury when he fell from a ladder on Nov. 12, which means he could potentially regain neural functioning. "He's recuperating very well. The last month has been a really, really great moving in the right direction," he said. "Unfortunately, he's still paralyzed below the neck, but he's speaking beautifully. He's eating now, drinking now. That was stuff that wasn't happening only
Remember when all national polls said Kamala was popular? Yeah, that’s why it’s so hard to take seriously a new CNN one showing that a majority of Americans now supposedly say the Trump administration has “gone too far … when it comes to deporting immigrants living in the United States illegally.”
According to the poll, 52 percent of respondents agreed the president’s crackdown on deportations has been excessive (though in what sense, the poll doesn’t say). It’s a 7-point increase from when the question was asked in February.
I’m skeptical that even a quarter of Americans (as in, actual U.S. citizens, not just whoever picked up CNN’s phone call)
An Iranian official confirmed on Friday that Iran and Russia are partnering on the construction of a new nuclear plant in Iran, which will be funded “using Moscow’s credit line.”
According to The Algemeiner, Iranian Oil Minister Mohsen Paknejad met with Russian Minister of Energy Sergei Tsivilev in Moscow on Friday for the 18th Joint Economic Cooperation Commission. The outlet reported that Paknejad confirmed that the two countries were strengthening cooperation in “peaceful” nuclear energy and would be building a new nuclear plant in Iran with Russian funding. Paknejad announced, “Iran and Russia will continue their cooperation in the peaceful use
Canada held elections on Tuesday, and in a stunning development, Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party completed the comeback. While the conservatives did make gains compared to the last decade, left-winger Mark Carney will remain prime minister, and the bill is about to come due.
After suffering under years of Trudeau's disastrous leadership, Canadians had a chance to change course. Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre, who was the odds-on favorite to win the election just a few months ago, had promised to lift his nation out of its decline, promoting personal and economic freedom.
The choice should have been clear. Instead, the voters of Canada decided that what they needed
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) is reportedly issuing the code red on any further Democrat trips to El Salvador. It’s part of the Democratic Party’s obsession with busting out Abrego Garcia, an illegal alien living in Maryland who got shipped back to his home country. The Democrats tried to stake their claim that he wasn’t an MS-13 member. As it turns out, the evidence proving that Garcia is a gang member and a domestic abuser could scale K2. So, it’s prudent for the leader of House Democrats to put the kibosh on these Club Med trips to Central America to visit this wife-beating gangbanger. Well, now Jeffries' office is
The Trump administration is reportedly considering sending illegal immigrants with criminal records to Libya and Rwanda.
CNN reported on Wednesday that the administration is currently in talks with the governments of the two nations to facilitate such a deal. The report suggests this could be an effort to deter foreigners from entering the US illegally. "The proposals mark a dramatic escalation in the administration’s push to deter people journeying to the United States and remove some of those already here to countries thousands of miles away, some of which have checkered pasts. President Donald Trump signed an executive order in January directing top officials to facilitate international cooperation and agreements
In between the fall of the Roman Empire and the birth of the Italian Renaissance, Western Europe economically stagnated and culturally declined in what are commonly called the Dark Ages.
This period, which lasted several centuries, has become known as the Dark Ages primarily because societal advancements and human progress generally ceased as sound science, facts, and the truth were disregarded by elites who sought power and control.
Sadly, Western Europe is treading down this road again.
A few days ago, Spain, Portugal, and parts of France and Belgium literally went dark for hours after a massive power disruption led to a system-wide grid collapse.

Rare earth elements are crucial to our modern existence, as well as our advanced defense systems. China, America’s primary supplier of these metals, has restricted exports of rare earths into the U.S. in retaliation for the president’s tariffs on Chinese exports into the country. There’s no reason to panic, though. There’s a way to work around the problem, and it doesn’t require a minerals deal with Ukraine.
Rare earth elements are needed to make our cellphones, computer hard drives, flat-screen monitors and televisions, as well as life-saving medical equipment. They are in fact “indispensable metals in electronics manufacturing.”
Reform UK has gained a new Member of Parliament by just six votes, won its first mayor, and picked up more councillors than all other parties combined in early results in a historic night.
Nigel Farage celebrated a “huge night for Reform” where his party showed all signs of having “cut deep” into the votes of both the governing Labour Party and official opposition the Conservatives, who he said Reform was now supplanting. Crucially, the party won major contests against both UK legacy political parties, underlining Farage’s claim that Reform is not merely a force on the right but something above the old
The White House has launched a website tracking the flood of announced investments into the United States since President Donald Trump’s return to office.
The website features 49 major investments from prominent companies in a wide swath of sectors, including tech, pharmaceuticals, energy, and more.
On the technology front, Apple and Nvidia each have committed $500 billion investments in the United States. Stargate, a joint project between OpenAI, SoftBank, and Oracle, also announced a $500 billion investment. IBM plans its own 12-figure investment of $150 billion.
President Donald Trump late Thursday announced plans to designate May 8 as World War II “Victory Day” in the United States, which coincides with the “Victory in Europe Day” that has been celebrated in most of Europe since the Germans surrendered in 1945.
Trump acknowledged in a Truth Social that “many of our allies and friends” already celebrate on May 8, but said America should join in because “we did more than any other Country, by far, in producing a victorious result.”
On May 7, 1945, the Germans surrendered to the Allied Forces, and agreed to cease all operations the next day. World War II officially ended later in the year
President Trump signed an executive order late Thursday terminating federal funding for National Public Radio (NPR) and the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS).
NPR and PBS, which have long been targeted for cuts by conservatives, both receive partial funding through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), which the president argued is unnecessary in the current media environment.
“Government funding of news media in this environment is not only outdated and unnecessary but corrosive to the appearance of journalistic independence,” Trump wrote in the order. “The CPB Board shall cease direct funding to NPR and PBS, consistent with my Administration’s policy to ensure that Federal funding does not support biased and partisan news coverage,”

New Jersey congresswoman Mikie Sherrill (D.) has banked millions of dollars since coming to Congress in 2019, a review of her financial disclosures by the Washington Free Beacon shows.
In her 2019 financial disclosures, Sherrill reported assets totaling between $733,209 and $4,321,000. By 2024, those figures had ballooned to between $4,840,076 and $13,975,000. The wide swing of ranges comes because federal financial disclosure forms require each asset to be listed as between a range of values. That requirement means that Sherrill, in theory, could have only seen an asset increase of roughly $500,000, but that possibility is unlikely.
A response to two Open Records Requests filed by The Tennessee Star with the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security (TDOSHS), the agency that oversees the Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP), revealed that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was driving a vehicle registered in Texas when he was stopped in Cookeville, Tennessee on November 30, 2022 and suspected of human trafficking.
Though the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has confirmed the vehicle driven by Abrego Garcia was registered to Jose Ramon Hernandez Reyes, a convicted human smuggler who was arrested in 2019 on a smuggling trip from Houston, Texas,
Body camera footage obtained by The Tennessee Star on Thursday as the result of an Open Records Request filed with the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security (TDOSHS) reveals Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) officers discuss their suspicion that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was “hauling these people for money” during the November 30, 2022 traffic stop of the vehicle he was driving in Cookeville, Tennessee.
It also shows the moment THP released Abrego Garcia, the Salvadoran citizen deported by the Trump administration in March, at the instruction of the “Biden-era FBI.”
Though the video released by TDOSHS is largely redacted, with significant portions of audio missing, and other identifying information,
The Harry Potter franchise is one of the most iconic in cinematic history. The record-setting book series stole the hearts of many on the big screen from the years 2001-2011.
A major part of its success was the cast of characters, specifically Harry, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley. Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint as Harry, Hermione, and Ron are examples of some of the best child actor casting ever in Hollywood.
Yes, Warner Bros. Discovery officially announced on April 12 that a new Max Original is in the works, rebooting the Harry Potter franchise.
In the weeks before David Horowitz’s passing, he wrote an article and finished another book. In and out of the hospital, he would call me on the phone to relay another idea for a series or another article about the Left. (Snip) The one thing that David would never do is give up.
His superhuman endurance was not physical, it was a matter of conviction. Long after his body had failed, he kept going, writing, thinking, arguing and above all else…fighting.
In his final op-ed, ‘The Biggest Lie of All’, published weeks before his death, David reproved Republicans for underestimating Democrats and the Left. That had been his overriding theme
Both my parents graduated from Harvard, as did one of my siblings. At the time of his admission, my father was admitted despite his Jewish heritage because at the time, the prestigious university was as fond of admitting Jews as it is of admitting Asians today.
Harvard was WASP heaven then, and it is woke heaven now. Neither extreme is admirable, but on balance, the woke are miles worse than the WASPs. The WASPs were obsessed with protecting their social class, while the woke are convinced that the world would be a better place if only their class enemies were dead. If you have to choose between arrogance
