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.”

Parents, do you know what your kids are doing online?
If not, the answer may terrify you.
Last month, the FBI issued a warning about the growing threat of violent online networks targeting minors.
Lurking on gaming platforms, social media or self-help forums, members of these networks lavish attention on their targets.
After the grooming comes the demands: that victims carve occult symbols or the names of their abusers onto their bodies (a practice known as “fansigning”).
That they share sexually explicit videos or mutilate their pets on camera.
That they livestream their own suicides.
When victims disengage, they’re doxed and swatted, threatened with violence, blackmailed or extorted.
Most victims are teens.
Some are younger.
Wild viral footage has captured Frontier Airlines gate agents getting into a bust-up with a passenger who had sniped, “I’m never flying this sh—y airline again” after being hit with an unexpected $25 fee just to check in.
The caught-on-camera saga erupted when the male passenger — a 45-year-old married father of three — was trying to check in for his Frontier flight from Raleigh, NC, to Boston last Friday after a week-long business trip.
The passenger, who didn’t want to be identified, told The Post he’d arrived at the airport with roughly 50 minutes to spare but wasn’t able to check in on the electronic kiosk because,
Stephen Miller’s America First Legal (AFL) has filed a bombshell lawsuit against Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr., in his capacity as Presiding Officer of the Judicial Conference of the United States, and Robert J. Conrad, Director of the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts.
The lawsuit accuses the powerful duo of running what AFL describes as an “unconstitutional shadow agency” and violating federal transparency laws.
The lawsuit, filed on April 22, slams the Judicial Conference of the United States and its administrative arm—both overseen by Chief Justice Roberts—as rogue “executive agencies” that have collaborated with far-left lawmakers to wage lawfare against conservative Supreme Court justices.

The FBI botched its investigation of the 2017 congressional baseball shooting that wounded six — downplaying the gunman’s anti-GOP motives despite having handwritten evidence, a blistering House report found.
The House Judiciary Committee, Intelligence Committee and Intelligence Subcommittee on Oversight & Investigation released the scathing, unclassified report on its findings Tuesday after combing through roughly 3,000 case file documents it was given last month.
“This is the same FBI that can’t tell us who planted the pipe bomb, who can’t tell us who leaked the Dobbs opinion and who can tell us who put cocaine at the White House,” House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) chided Tuesday morning.
“We shouldn’t be surprised
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.
National Institute of Health (NIH) Director Jay Bhattacharya announced this week that the agency shuttered its in-house beagle laboratories.
Over the course of 40 years, thousands of beagles were murdered in the labs for experiments.
In 2016, the White Coat Waste Project (WCW) started an investigation that uncovered that the NIH killed thousands of beagles in barbaric experiments. In one specific example, the NIH pumped pneumonia-causing bacteria into 2,100+ beagles’ lungs, bled them out, and forced them into septic shock for an experiments.
Controversy is brewing in Jacksonville, Florida, where a city council member has accused the city’s Democrat mayor of boasting an illegal gun registry.
Councilman Nick Howland, a Republican, recently made the bombshell accusation in an interview with Action News Jax, though the original allegation was reportedly made by a gun rights non-profit known as Florida Carry.[snip]
“They were asked to document their first name, last name, contact information and the type of firearm they were carrying,” Howland said. “In those notebooks for two years, that info has been gathered. Florida is a no-registry state. So, that is a clear violation of state law.”
An Army Black Hawk helicopter caused two near-misses with airliners at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport last week — including passing as little as 200 feet from one jet — after the pilot took “the scenic route” to the Pentagon, according to authorities.
The terrifying incident at one of America’s most crowded airports comes three months after the same kind of Army chopper from the same unit was involved in a mid-air collision with an American Airlines jet, killing 67 people.
Officials and politicians were quick to blast the Army for the incident — with Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy calling it “unacceptable.”
The calls for violence are growing louder and louder by the day. The agitators are calling for the assassination of public figures and elected officials; they are calling for acts of insurrection by federal and local law enforcement.
These are actions that would very likely prompt a second civil war, but the agitators have no thought of that, or, on the few occasions when they register that possibility, seem somehow to think that their side would win.
The people making these calls for violence are, of course, all members of the "progressive" left. Jonathan Turley recently penned an interesting piece on those people.
The depraved deviant who allegedly raped a corpse on a Manhattan subway train for 30 minutes is an illegal immigrant who crossed into the US from Mexico at least five times before finally getting locked up over the sick act, The Post has exclusively learned.
Felix Rojas, 44, unlawfully crossed the US-Mexico border “on several occasions” in the late 1990s before being caught by Border Patrol agents and voluntarily turning back, an ICE spokesperson revealed.
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,
Disturbing video has captured the moment a massive brawl broke out among Carnival Cruise ship passengers in Texas — resulting in more than a dozen people being banned from the cruise liner for life.
The violence erupted as scores of passengers were disembarking from the Carnival Jubilee when it docked in Galveston on Saturday following a week-long Caribbean jaunt, according to footage shared on social media.
“It went down this morning,” said Trelle Ray, who shared the clip on Facebook.
The footage showed multiple passengers barging past barriers to trade blows.
At one point, a man was shoved to the floor before a handful of others started violently pummeling him.

Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “The Briefing” that President Donald Trump will wear a military uniform soon because he was taking the United States toward authoritarianism.
Host Jen Psaki said, “Let me ask you, you said something in the New Yorker in March I thought was really interesting. I mean, you said we should prepare for the worst case scenario. I think many of us feel that way. We’re just over 100 days in, and I guess, are we in the worst case scenario right now or what are you exactly preparing for as governor?”
Walz said, “No I think it gets worse.
Habemus papam — we have a pope, and progressive Catholics will likely be pleased. And for the first time ever, the pope is an American.
Cardinal Robert Prevost, now Leo XIV, is an American who also has Peruvian citizenship. He was a favorite of the late Pope Francis but has often kept a fairly low public profile, meaning that while his tendencies indicate a less traditional and strictly doctrinal perspective, his likely actions as pope have yet to be clearly predicted. But his first speech ominously seemed much in line with progressive rhetoric.
It is unfortunate that the new pope was a favorite of the late Pope Francis, who prioritized leftist politics
This just in: Big animals that can weigh in at a ton, have inch-thick hides, masses of matted hair that is nearly as good as chain-mail armor, that wear big curved perforators on their heads, and that have prickly temperaments, can be dangerous. The animal described, of course, is the American bison, a big, imposing creature, a holdover from the last Ice Age.
And yet, people who think that nature is a Disney movie keep getting too close to them and getting hurt. The latest was a Florida man (of course) who fooled around and found out.
A bison gored a 47-year-old Florida tourist Sunday at Yellowstone National Park
An alligator attacked and killed a woman who was canoeing with her husband on a central Florida lake Tuesday afternoon, authorities said, after her spouse tried unsuccessfuly to fight off the predator.
The attack occurred near the mouth of Tiger Creek into Lake Kissimmee, south of Orlando, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission said. It's near the same location as a March alligator attack in which a woman was bitten on the elbow while kayaking.
At a news conference Wednesday, FWC Maj. Evan Laskowski said the woman was sitting in the bow of a 14-foot canoe when the attack happened. She and her husband were in about 2.5 feet

MSNBC political commentator Al Sharpton claimed Thursday on “All In” that President Donald Trump is “fumbling the ball” to the point his voters are getting “buyer’s remorse.”
Sharpton said, “He promised on day one many things he hasn’t delivered. And now I think you said it best to sell austerity rather than prosperity is something that is miles away from what he told his own constituents, or his own supporters.”
He continued, “He does not have a deal. There is no deal. He’s announced something with England today that we really don’t know what that really means. We don’t know what’s going on with China.
White smoke billowed from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel and the great bells of St. Peter's Basilica rang out on Thursday, signaling that a new pope—the 267th leader of the Catholic Church—had been chosen on just the second day of the conclave. At precisely 6:07 p.m., local time, the smoke rose into the late afternoon sky, sparking an emotional eruption from the tens of thousands gathered in St. Peter's Square. Cheers rang out as priests made the sign of the cross, nuns wept, and the crowd shouted in unison, "Viva il papa!" Flags from across the globe waved above the masses as they anxiously awaited the identity
Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.) appeared on Fox News on Wednesday for an interview with anchor Bret Baier on "Special Report," and I have to say that if anyone who watched that still supports this man, you need to have your head examined.
Sanders, of course, has been "fighting oligarchy" with his pal Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), aka AOC, but the problem is that a) most people don't know even what "oligarchy" is and b) Sanders reportedly spent $221,000 on private jets so he could attend those "Fighting Oligarchy" rallies.
A Georgia college student faces deportation after she ran a red light, and authorities discovered her entire family has been illegally living in the US for nearly 15 years.
Mexican-national Ximena Arias-Cristobal, 19, was pulled over by police in Dalton, Ga. on May 5 when she failed to adhere to a “no turn on red” sign.
Ximena Arias-Cristobal, a Dalton State Community College student, was driving without a driver’s license but told officers she had an international driver’s license, according to WTVC, citing the arrest report.
She admitted that she didn’t have the foreign document when Dalton police officers asked her to show it,
Here we go again. It's apparently reading week at Columbia University which means lots of students are preparing for final exams in the quiet campus library. No doubt that's why a group of Hamas supporters decided to take over the library today. They want to create maximum disruption on campus. Here they are shoving their way inside past the minimal security at the entrance. They quickly ran upstairs and then took over a large library reading room on the 2nd floor. Time to bust out the headscarves and protest signs.
During an appearance on “The View” on Thursday morning, former President-ish Joe Biden was confronted with a question about his cognitive health, and his response was such a confusing mess that his wife Jill had to jump in and rescue him mid-answer.
It started when co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin asked Biden about claims that have been made in several books, written and sourced by Democrat insiders, that indicate that they were all aware of a steep cognitive decline in Biden’s final year in office.
The Catholic Church has vowed to excommunicate any priest who follows a new Washington state law requiring clergy to report information about child abuse to law enforcement — even if given in the privacy of the confession booth.
Priests in the Evergreen State had enjoyed something similar to attorney-client privilege when hearing confessions, but the new law — which Democratic Gov. Bob Ferguson signed on Friday — revokes that protection for discussions of child abuse or neglect.

Pretty sure I know where they haven't been cancelled.
