Roy Cooper's 'Racial Equity' Task Force
Pushed Soft-on-Crime Policy That Released
Iryna Zarutska's Killer From Jail. Cooper
Calls It a Major 'Accomplishment.'

Roy Cooper, the leading Democrat for North Carolina's open Senate seat in 2026, says one of his major "accomplishments" as the state's governor was the creation of a "racial equity" task force that pushed to eliminate cash bail for certain crimes. That policy led to the release of career criminal Decarlos Brown not long before he senselessly murdered Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a Charlotte subway train. A Cooper campaign website highlights his creation of the Governor's Task Force for Racial Equity in Criminal Justice in June 2020 as one of his major "accomplishments" during his service as North Carolina's governor from 2017 to 2025. Cooper hand-selected the task force's

A trio of rising Democratic Party stars are slated to speak at an anti-Israel convention this week alongside a deep roster of Hamas sympathizers and anti-Semites.
Michigan Senate candidate and former CNN contributor Abdul El-Sayed (D.), Rep. Ro Khanna (D., Calif.), and Michigan lieutenant governor Garlin Gilchrist (D.) are listed in the lineup for ArabCon, an event hosted by the American-Arab Discrimination Committee (ADC) in Dearborn, Mich., a majority-Muslim town dubbed "America’s Jihad Capital" because so many of its city and religious leaders have sided with Hamas against the United States and Israel.
All three of the Democrats are running—or likely running, in Khanna’s case—for prominent political offices.
The Trump administration is warning migrant sponsors to take financial responsibility for them or expect to be slapped with steep fines, lawsuits, or even prosecution.
American citizens who sponsor migrants that end up using taxpayer-funded benefits like food stamps or housing assistance will be held financially liable and could even face criminal charges, according to a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) memo obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. The announcement, which is intended for all migrant sponsors across the country, marks the latest policy crackdown by the Trump administration.
Something's up! Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has ordered all top U.S. military commanders, worldwide, to convene at Quantico Marine Corps Base next week for a no-notice meeting with no published agenda. To call this unprecedented might be an understatement. The order covers about 800 general officers and admirals, and each of the attendees is directed to bring their senior enlisted adviser with them; “All general officers in command in grade O-7 through O-10 and their general officer senior enlisted advisers are directed to attend within operational constraints.”
Bombshell: Mikie Sherrill Was Barred From

Her Naval Academy Graduation Over Cheating Scandal 13 replies
The more we learn about Democrat Mikie Sherrill, current Member of Congress and candidate to be New Jersey's next governor, the more she looks like your average, scandal-plagued DC swamp rat. We reported earlier on her Nancy Pelosi-esque ability to leverage her congressional tenure into remarkable stock market gains, and now we're learning that Sherrill has a scandal-ridden record going back to her days at the United States Naval Academy.
Here's what went down.
Back in December of 1992, two dozen of Sherrill's fellow midshipmen were expelled from the Naval Academy after it was discovered they had obtained and shared the answers to an electrical engineering exam.
A September poll of white-collar professionals shows that 56 percent of U.S. citizens say the huge H-1B visa-worker program is transferring their jobs and careers to white-collar migrants.
The poll of roughly 2,000 Americans and 2,200 foreign workers was conducted by Blind, which is a bulletin board for tech-sector professionals, most of whom are white-collar migrants.
The site reported 56 percent of the Americans polled said “they view H-1B visa holders as direct competitors for jobs.”
Sixty percent of U.S. citizens said that “U.S. citizens and green card holders should be given hiring priority.”
“I think the number is much higher,” responded Kevin Lynn, founder of U.S. Tech Workers, which lobbies against
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) on Wednesday tapped former Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Ben Carson as a senior nutrition and housing adviser, serving as the point person to help implement the “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) agenda.
The agency in a statement said Carson, a retired neurosurgeon, will advise President Trump and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins on rural health, nutrition and housing accessibility.
He will serve on the administration’s MAHA Commission and will likely play a role in the agency’s updating of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans due this year.
Donald Trump’s future presidential library will be housed in downtown Miami at a location selected, in part, because of its proximity to the Freedom Tower, a landmark that played a significant role in helping Cuban refugees migrating to Florida.
Trump’s team has for months been eyeing Florida, where the president is a resident, as the location for the library, which they also hope can be part of a larger development that will include an adjacent hotel. It would be the first presidential library to also be home to a hotel development.
Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley on Tuesday sent a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, calling on her to stop approving work authorization for foreign student visa holders, citing a recent study that found American STEM graduates have a high unemployment rate.
The senator was citing a Federal Reserve report that found “the unemployment rate of males ages 22 to 27 is roughly the same, whether or not they hold a degree," and that Americans who recently obtained a degree in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) have a higher unemployment rate than the general public.
"Competition from foreign graduates is contributing to rising unemployment rates among college-educated Americans,"
A North Carolina Democrat is attempting to promote censorship in his state at the same time his party is framing late night host Jimmy Kimmel being taken off the air as an issue of freedom of speech.
State Sen. Mujtaba Mohammed wants to amend Article 22A of Chapter 163 of the North Carolina General Statutes to create a “Prohibition on use of a deceased crime victim’s name, image, or likeness in political advertising.”
The amendment lays out its definitions as follows:

After Allegedly Choking Border Patrol
Agent to Escape 5 replies
Law enforcement authorities quickly recaptured two illegal aliens who escaped from Border Patrol custody after allegedly choking a female agent. Officials say the attack happened while the two Mexican nationals were being transported to a detention facility. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers initially arrested the two during a multi-agency enforcement operation in the greater Houston area.
The short-lived escape began when 29-year-old Juan Carmen Padron-Mendez and 23-year-old Juan Carlos Padron-Barron, both illegal aliens from Mexico, were being transported to the Montgomery Processing Center on Monday.
I beg your pardon?
Let's recap, shall we? Fourteen months ago, Donald Trump got shot and Corey Comperatore got killed by an assassin in Butler County, PA. A few weeks later, another assassin got captured on Trump's Florida golf course. Just this week, people have fired shots over political issues more than once, and oh by the way, the event yesterday memorialized someone who'd been assassinated for his politics.
With all of that as background, plus the fact that both the President and Vice President would be participating in the event, the Washington Post cast a skeptical eye on the expense ahead of the event:

"Jimmy Kimmel Live!" host Jimmy Kimmel insisted that he never intended to make light of Charlie Kirk's assassination in comments that led to his show's suspension.
Tuesday night was the first show Kimmel hosted since Disney announced its return on Monday after nearly a week off the air.
Kimmel came out to a standing ovation which continued into chants of "Jimmy! Jimmy! Jimmy!" and ongoing cheering.
"If you are just joining us, we are preempting your regularly scheduled encore episode of 'Celebrity Family Feud,' we’re bringing you this special report," Kimmel opened. "I’m happy to be here with you tonight."
Nicole Sirotek, founder of American Frontline Nurses, claimed that she received a frantic 4 a.m. call from a distraught husband whose pregnant wife is now on a ventilator after overdosing on Tylenol.
According to Sirotek, the woman, who was between 23 and 25 weeks pregnant, attempted to ingest massive amounts of Tylenol in an effort to “prove Donald Trump wrong” after his recent remarks linking acetaminophen use during pregnancy to autism.

Hillary Clinton hit out at white Christian men just two weeks after Charlie Kirk's assassination. The former first lady found fault with Christian conservatism during an appearance on MSNBC's Morning Joe Wednesday, saying she disapproved of the ideology because it promotes division. The movement has picked up momentum thanks to people like Kirk, whose evangelical faith shaped his politics. He was killed earlier this month while speaking at a college campus in southern Utah.
In a bizarre "stand" against President Trump, liberal pregnant women have taken to social media, posting videos of themselves taking Tylenol. This comes after a major announcement on Monday, where the Trump administration said that they will no longer recommend pregnant women take Tylenol, as they believe it may increase the chances of a child being born with autism. Even if the announcement were untrue, why would these mothers risk hurting their children simply to rub it in President Trump's face? It is less of taking a stand, and more of just plain stupidity.

Violet Affleck took the stage at the United Nations (U.N.) to demand clean air and as her father, Hollywood star Ben Affleck, wrestles with his smoking habit.
Wearing a KN95 mask, the 19-year-old Yale freshman addressed the "Healthy Indoor Air: A Global Call to Action" panel Tuesday in New York.
Over four minutes, Violet urged governments to bring back mask mandates, invest in clean-air infrastructure and recognize "filtered air as a human right as intuitively as we do filtered water."
"We can create clean air infrastructure that is so ubiquitous and so obviously necessary so that tomorrow’s children don’t even know why we need it," Violet warned delegates. But one expert
California Governor Gavin Newsom lashed out at General Motors CEO Mary Barra, claiming she 'sold out' the state by backing away from a ban on gas cars.
GM, America's largest car company, says it is simply responding to what drivers actually want — exposing a widening gap between what customers want and Newsom's aggressive push for electric vehicles.
The automaker has doubled down on gas models and, according to the governor, lobbied state officials to roll back California’s landmark clean car law.
The Department of War will ask President Donald Trump for final approval to execute the Fort Hood shooter, Nidal Hasan, a DOW official told the Daily Caller News Foundation exclusively. The execution, if approved by Trump, would be the first carried out by the military since 1961. Hasan, a former Army Major and psychiatrist turnedradical Islamic terrorist, killed 13 people and wounded 32 others during his notorious rampage on the Army base in 2009. “I am 100 percent committed to ensuring the death penalty is carried out for Nidal Hasan,” Hegseth exclusively told the DCNF.

With violent crime unchecked in major American cities, President Donald Trump has moved to lower thefts, assaults and murders by providing federal help to besieged local police. How do Americans feel about this? They mostly favor local control, but don’t entirely reject federal involvement in local policing, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows.
September’s national online I&I/TIPP Poll asked 1,362 adults: “President Trump has moved to take control of the Washington, D.C., police. Do you mostly favor or mostly oppose the federal government running local police departments?”

The California Legislature passed, and Gov. Gavin Newsom eagerly signed, a bill that forbids law enforcement officers from concealing their identities with masks. The law applies to local as well as federal officers, but it’s clearly intended to make it easier to dox federal immigration agents. Of course the administration says it will ignore the law. So what happens when local and state officers try to enforce it?

California also forbids federal agents from enforcing immigration law in state courthouses. Again, the potential for blue-on-blue violence is ramped up by a Democratic
PROVO, Utah — Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old accused of fatally shooting Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk during a campus speech earlier this month, finally has a defense attorney. Kathryn Nester, a former federal public defender with more than 30 years of experience, is spearheading the defense, according to an Utah County spokesperson.[snip] In a news release on Wednesday, officials announced Robinson's attorney was approved by the Utah County Commission.
A registered Democrat mother in New Jersey is going viral after posting a TikTok video admitting she had her political “turning point” the day her 11-year-old daughter came home from school saying she hated Charlie Kirk—without even knowing who he was.[snip] Kryssa revealed she never spoke about Kirk in her household, nor had her daughter seen his videos. The hate, she realized, was planted elsewhere, inside the classroom. Her daughter, a sixth-grader, is surrounded by classmates who regularly bash Trump supporters, and Kryssa admitted that peer pressure already made her daughter feel uncomfortable that her mother supports President Trump.
Following 25 years of what oil and gas executives categorize as hostility to the industry, the state is now making a play to keep those companies from leaving. Concerned with the exodus of oil and gas companies, refinery closures and the expensive price of gasoline in the state, California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed legislation last week that fast tracks the approval of 2,000 new wells per year over the next 10 years in Kern County, a significant oil-producing region. Andy Walz, Chevron's president of Americas products, said during an appearance on FOX Business, "I think it's been a tyranny of
