India was under pressure by both sides, the USA and China. Part of the Trump Indo-pacific plan was a geopolitical trade strategy aligning the United States with India. However, Beijing was pressuring India to reject alignment with the USA and form a mutually beneficial trade block with China. India has rejected the Chinese plan and chosen to follow the USA model because access to the U.S. consumer base is the stronger economic influence.

Can Block Mentally Unstable People from

The Supreme Court lifted a lower-court judge’s ruling that paused the administration’s ban on mentally unstable people who were uncertain of their gender. The DEI judges (Latino, Lesbian and Black) dissented.
Previously, President Trump stopped allowing transvestites to participate in military service for obvious ‘mission critical’ reasons. A lower court said that was unconstitutional and blocked the ban. The Supreme Court has ruled 6-3 that stopping psychologically unstable trans-identifying people, was within the scope of authority of the commander in chief.O(snip)a lower-court judge’s ruling that had paused the administration’s ban, concluding it was likely unconstitutional and based on distortions of limited research on the subject.
Is Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., trying to sabotage his 2026 reelection bid? It’s a question worth asking when considering that the Tarheel State’s senior senator seems to be doing everything in his power to betray his constituents ahead of next year’s primary.
While speaking to reporters on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, Tillis, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, formally announced his opposition to the nomination of Ed Martin to serve as the next U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia. With a 12-10 Republican majority on the committee, Tillis’ opposition likely nullifies the body’s ability to favorably move Martin’s nomination to the full Senate for final confirmation.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that illegal immigrants who use the CBP Home app to initiate their own deportation procedures will receive a $1,000 bonus stipend.
In a statement on May 5, the agency said that illegal aliens would “receive both financial and travel assistance to facilitate travel back to their home country through the CBP Home App” and that those individuals who aren’t authorized to be in the United States will get the $1,000 stipend “after their return to their home country has been confirmed through the app.”
Trump administration officials have said that using the government’s self-deportation process is likely the best way
Mexico has declined President Donald Trump’s offer to deploy U.S. troops in Mexico to help combat drug cartels, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced on May 3.
The Wall Street Journal first reported on May 2, based on anonymous sources, that Trump had offered to send U.S. troops to take a leading role in efforts within Mexico to counter the cartels. Sheinbaum was asked to comment on The Wall Street Journal’s reporting on Saturday, as she attended an event near Mexico’s capital.
“You know what I told him? ‘No, President Trump, the territory is inviolable. Sovereignty is inviolable,’” Sheinbaum told the audience.
As if on cue, a short article from the Chamber of Shipping notes that cargo from China is being rerouted to avoid tariffThe destination of the cargo is, wait for it,… CANADA!
USCoS – As U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods soar to as high as 145%, a growing number of companies are rerouting shipments to Canada and storing them in bonded warehouses in hopes of avoiding the duties and capitalising on a future rollback. This strategy has caused a sharp spike in Chinese shipments to Canada, with logistics firms and customs brokers reporting surging inquiries and storage(snip) could force sellers to offload discounted goods into the Canadian market, potentially disrupting domestic
The Alberta Premier has made it easier for citizens to collect enough signatures to put the question of Alberta Independence to a vote. Polling has indicated about 30% support for Alberta independence but polling may not be accurate.Collecting the signatures to have a vote should be relatively easy. The hard part will be actually winning the vote to then get to negotiations for independence. However, independence for Alberta is very economically attractive, especially based upon current conditions where US cooperation is guaranteed. This would put Alberta into a far better negotiating position with Ontario, Quebec and Canada.
On Thursday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order defunding NPR and PBS — two taxpayer-subsidized “news” organizations that have consistently published propaganda.
The order proclaims that “Government funding of news media in this environment is not only outdated and unnecessary but corrosive to the appearance of journalistic independence.”
“At the very least, Americans have the right to expect that if their tax dollars fund public broadcasting at all, they fund only fair, accurate, unbiased, and nonpartisan news
Colorado’s “Kelly Loving Act” (HB 1312) is truly one of the most radical, extreme, and anti-family bills ever proposed in our nation’s 249-year history. And that might be an understatement.
HB 1312 purports to provide “legal protections for transgender individuals.” In reality, it facilitates the state ripping children away from their parents if they refuse to go along with their child’s desire to “socially” or “medically transition.”
Low-cost online retailer Temu is ceasing shipments to the United States from China, the company announced on May 2.
On Friday, Temu, which is run by a U.S.-based subsidiary of PPD Holdings, said in a media statement released to The Epoch Times that the platform is transitioning “to a local fulfillment model.”
“Temu’s pricing for U.S. consumers remains unchanged,” the May 2 statement said. “All sales in the U.S. are now handled by locally based sellers, with orders fulfilled from within the country.”
BOMBSHELL: A Biden-appointed federal judge is under fire after blocking Border Patrol from arresting illegal aliens—while her husband profits from real estate deals involving undocumented immigrants, according to explosive revelations by Laura Loomer.
U.S. District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston issued a major injunction halting immigration enforcement in Eastern California, a move critics say directly benefits her husband’s business dealings with illegal immigrant clients. The ruling, which targets Trump-era border operations, has ignited a firestorm over judicial ethics and further fueled claims that the Biden administration is undermining border security through politicized courts
Florida adults who received Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine were more likely to die following vaccination than Moderna COVID-19 recipients, according to a new preprint study that was co-authored by Florida’s top health official.
Dr. Joseph Ladapo, Florida’s surgeon general, and other researchers identified nearly 9.2 million Florida adults not living in institutions who received at least two doses of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine less than six weeks apart between Dec. 18, 2020, and Aug. 31, 2021.
They narrowed the group to nearly 1.5 million, half who received Pfizer’s vaccine and half who received Moderna’s(snip) to see which group had the higher risk for all-cause mortality, (snip) in the 12 months

How To Use A Chair’ – And She Didn’t

Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas appeared to hint that college graduates should be ready to “use a chair” as a weapon during a Sunday commencement address.
Crockett gave the advice to seniors graduating from Tougaloo College, a historically black college located in Jackson, Mississippi, during a roughly 20-minute speech posted on her YouTube page, according to WTJV.com. Crockett told the graduates that they should be ready to use the chairs on people who tell them they “don’t belong.” “There are going to be people that tell you that you don’t belong, and I am here to tell you over and over and over that you absolutely belong,” Crockett said.
Some cities have canceled or severely downplayed Cinco de Mayo events for fear of ICE raids and deportations.
Speaking with CNN on Monday, Chicago resident Hector Escobar, president of the Casa Puebla and Cermak Road Chamber of Commerce, said that people in his community are “very scared” of gathering in public with some even considering going back to Mexico.
“Our people are very scared,” he said. “Honestly, they’re saying they don’t want to go to work. They have to go to work because they have to feed their families. So, if they both were working, now one person is working.”
Trump’s plan for Alcatraz is absolute genius

Donald Trump has announced that he’s reopening Alcatraz as a federal prison for the worst of the worst in America. I couldn’t be more delighted, because it’s a wonderful idea at both practical and symbolic levels.
Trump made the announcement on Truth Social:It’s to be hoped that many of the new residents will be the same Tren de Aragua and MS-13 terrorists that the leftists insist remain on American soil.
The media grimly reported the news, although they hastened to add that it won’t be easy to turn the old site into a modern prison. AP is representative of this approach to reporting:
As President Donald Trump dismantles the deep state, angry Democrats desperately defend their Jan.6, 2021 Capitol riot narrative but beam with pride that they locked up so many Americans.
Mike Romano, a former federal prosecutor at the Department of Justice (DOJ) Public Integrity Section, testified last week at a hearing rehashing Jan. 6, saying he is “proud” of the prosecutions he handled, that imprisoned people present at the Capitol.“Thanks to the work of our team, the Justice Department charged more than 1,500 people with crimes and obtained criminal convictions against almost 1,300 people,” Romano said. “We ensured that the rioters would face accountability, no matter how short-lived.
Another black-robed tyrant has usurped President Trump’s lawful immigration authorities in a fit of anger and arrogance.
As the Associated Press reported, U.S. District Judge Jamal Whitehead, a Biden judge from Seattle, on Monday ordered the Trump administration to admit around 12,000 refugees into America under a court order partially barring the president’s attempts to suspend the nation’s refugee admissions program. At the same time, he ignored the possibility that these refugees could pose a threat to America.
“This Court will not entertain the Government’s result-oriented rewriting of a judicial order that clearly says what it says,”
Newly elected Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney told President Donald Trump that Canada is “not for sale” during a meeting in the Oval Office on Tuesday.
Asked by a reporter about his repeated suggestions that Canada could become the United States’s 51st state, Trump said, “I still believe that, but … it takes two to tango.”
Trump suggested there would be a “lot of advantages” if Canada were to join the U.S., including a “massive tax cut” for Canadians.
“I’m a real estate developer at heart,” he said. “When you get rid of that artificially drawn line
We regret to inform you that another female cop may have just botched a case, and not just any case, a major one… Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old who’s accused of murdering United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, might walk free, not because he’s innocent, but because a female cop allegedly mishandled the search that led to critical evidence being used against him. According to his lawyers, Mangione’s backpack was illegally searched right after police found him at a McDonald’s in Pennsylvania. Now they’re demanding that everything inside be tossed from the case. And if a judge agrees,
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wants the number of active-duty four-star generals and admirals in the U.S. military to be cut by at least 20 percent, according to a new memo released Monday.
In the order, dated May 5, Hegseth also directed senior Pentagon leadership to slash the number of general officers in the National Guard by a minimum of 20 percent, and cut the total number of general and flag officers — those with the rank of one star or higher — across the military by 10 percent.In a video posted to social media later on Monday, Hegseth announced that the order, which he referred to as “Less Generals, more GIs,”

A 55-year-old Akron woman was arrested May 5 and charged with multiple drug offenses after a raccoon was discovered in her vehicle holding a meth pipe in its mouth, Springfield Township police posted on Facebook.
Officers initially conducted a traffic stop at about 7:15 p.m. after identifying a vehicle whose owner had both an active warrant and a suspended driver's license.
After officers detained the driver, police then discovered a raccoon named "Chewy" sitting in the driver's seat with a meth pipe in its mouth, police reported. Officers further inspected the vehicle after that discovery and ended up finding a "bulk amount" of meth, crack cocaine and three used glass meth pipes.
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessell has dropped all charges against seven pro-Palestinian demonstrators arrested last year on the University of Michigan Diag. The seven were facing misdemeanor charges of trespassing as well as felony charges of resisting and obstructing police. (snip) Another factor in her decision, Nessell said, was a letter from the Jewish Federation of Greater Ann Arbor, defending Nessell from charges of bias.
In high school, the doomsday scenarios regarding global warming were endless. In 2007, the climate change cult said the Arctic Ice Cap would vanish. It didn’t. When 2013 hit, it gained about 530,000 square miles of ice. Still, the con is on with the Green Left, who claims they were on the verge of total destruction.
In the 1970s, global cooling and North American re-glaciation would imperil humanity. They were wrong then, and they’re wrong now. The Green Movement has been exposed as a backdoor communist push, spearheaded by the wealthy and the elites to screw over further working Americans via intentional economic sabotage.
Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) is heading to Pennsylvania this week to participate in a town hall in the swing county of Bucks County, according to the Democratic National Committee, driving speculation over whether he might be harboring presidential ambitions. Gallego will appear at a state party-hosted town hall Saturday as a part of a broader “Fight to Save Medicaid” initiative as Democrats ramp up pressure on Republicans over the reconciliation package. Medicaid is one of the key issues in the debate over the reconciliation bill. The House Energy and Commerce Committee has been tasked with finding cuts that would save
