Fox News anchor John Roberts spoke to Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) on Tuesday about President Donald Trump’s threat that Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro’s days in power “are numbered.” Roberts began the interview after playing the clip of Trump’s apparent threat, saying, “Kentucky Senator Rand Paul sits on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and is the chair of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, and he joins me now. I know, Senator, that you have concerns about President Trump going to war in Venezuela or, at the very least, mounting some sort of an invasion. Do you think that that is in the cards?”

Republican Senator Mike Lee says there has been major progress in the push to pass the SAVE America Act after mounting pressure on Senate leadership to move the legislation forward. In an update to supporters, Lee, the lead sponsor of the SAVE America Act, said recent discussions with Thune and his staff have led to meaningful progress on how the bill could be debated and brought to a vote.[snip] Lee confirmed the breakthrough in a new video clip: a HYBRID form of the talking filibuster is now set to be implemented.

“This device has been extremely crucial for us and our customers for full transparency,” Thompson said.Now a system called UVeye is designed to bring that transparency to the process.“We’re like an MRI for your car,” said Matt Small of UVeye.The drive-through system uses multiple cameras to capture hundreds of high-resolution images and video of a vehicle in just seconds.
House Republicans have taken a firm stance in Washington by promising to block Senate-passed legislation until the Senate takes up the SAVE America Act.[snip] Republican lawmakers leading the effort have framed the strategy as a necessary step to force Senate action. Reps. Brandon Gill (R-Texas) and Anna Paulina (R-Fla.) announced that they'll oppose nearly every Senate-originated bill until the Senate advances the SAVE Act.[snip] Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) is at the center of the debate, indicating that the Senate plans to consider the legislation through the standard legislative processrather than procedural shortcuts.
Let me begin by putting all my cards face-up on the table. No one wishes the SAVE Act, requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote and a photo-ID in order to cast a ballot, to become law more than I.[snip] The argument against the SAVE Act is one of the more absurd cases to make, and it has not resonated at all with the American public, regardless of political party. [snip] President Trump said yesterday on the White House lawn that the SAVE Act is probably the most popular piece of legislation he's submitted to Congress, and he's correct.
The FBI has reportedly warned police departments across California that Iran could attempt to retaliate against the United States for Operation Epic Fury by launching attack drones targeting the state. Iran does not have the capability to launch drones from the Middle East that could reach the U.S. West Coast. However, the FBI reportedly warned that unidentified vessels operating off the California coast could potentially be used to launch attack drones.
Lonnie D. Wayman, a U.S. Navy veteran, has no known family members. So when he died, those who organized his funeral put out a public call for attendees.

A chaplain who presided over the funeral services addressed the those who gathered,[snip]'Thank you, Lord for our freedom. Thank you, Lord, for someone else who has served in uniform. Thank you for the example for the next generation.[snip]This is the best of America. This is who we are.
Conservative icon and Hollywood legend James Woods has announced he’s ditching the Republican Party. Woods, a fierce patriot and vocal supporter of President Trump, blasted the “uniparty traitors” in a fiery post on X, declaring, “I am done with the Republican Party.” Woods’ decision comes amid growing frustration with Senate Republican leadership, particularly cowardly Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD), who has continuously stalled the crucial SAVE Act, a bill designed to safeguard American elections by requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration.[snip] “I’m changing my party affiliation to Independent.
Jesse Jackson Jr. took a not-so-subtle swipe at three former Democratic presidents who spoke at his father’s memorial service — Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Joe Biden — saying they did not know the real Jesse Jackson.[snip] Jackson Jr. — who served as a Democratic representative from Illinois between 1995 and 2012 — made his remarks a day after the ex-presidents honored his father. Obama’s speech was the most political of the three former presidents, with Obama clearly dissing President Donald Trump at one point, without mentioning him by name.
HOUSTON — Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton says he would consider dropping out of the Republican U.S. Senate race — but only if certain conditions are met. The comments come as President Donald Trump prepares to make a highly anticipated endorsement in the closely watched Texas GOP primary runoff. Paxton made the remarks as Trump weighs whether to support him or incumbent U.S. Sen.

During a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday, Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) told Angel Families who were present in the audience that he was “sorry,” but that Americans are more likely to be murdered by fellow Americans than illegal aliens. “For the folks that are here and your families, I’m sorry. It’s terrible what happened to your children and family members, but they are more likely, American citizens are more likely to be attacked by United States citizens who are not undocumented who came here and who were born here,” Cohen told Angel Families. “[Americans] are more likely to commit these crimes.”

White Guys Have ‘Greater Responsibility’
to ‘Love…Trans Kids’ 29 replies
James “God is Non-binary” Talarico believes white males have a greater responsibility to love trans kids.
Rep. Talarico (D-TX) is the Democrat nominee for the United States Senate.
Let me just state right here and right now that people who “love trans kids” do not — as Talarico constantly does — advocate for queering, sexualizing, chemically sterilizing, and performing irreversible “gender affirming” mutilations on them.
The bottom line is this: James Transarico is a full-blown monster deliberately perverting the Christian faith to obtain power. I’ve never seen anything like this guy. He’s a demon with a baby face.

Iran said Saturday that all countries besides the US and Israel may pass through the Strait of Hormuz, in a desperate attempt at coalition busting less than a day after the US bombed military targets on its oil-critical Kharg Island.
“As a matter of fact, the Strait of Hormuz is open,” Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said.
“It is only closed to the tankers and ships belong[ing] to our enemies, to those who are attacking us and their allies. Others are free to pass,” Araghchi told MS NOW.
Tucker Carlson has announced the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has been monitoring his contacts with people within Iran and is potentially referring the issue to Dept of Justice (DOJ) officials for criminal review.
According to his previous self-admissions, Carlson was strongly against the Trump administration taking military action toward Iran and had travelled to the White House to express that opinion to President Trump. If the CIA was monitoring his contact with officials within Iran, this should NOT come as a surprise.
Given the nature of the conflict both before (during negotiations) and after the military hostilities began (operation epic fury), it would be negligent if the Intelligence Community was not

volunteers — while CEO Valerie Jarrett
makes $740K 17 replies
The Obama Foundation is looking for 100 unpaid volunteers to work alongside the former president’s highly paid cronies at the $850 million Obama Presidential Center in Chicago when it opens in June.
Officials are pitching the no-paycheck gigs as rooted in former President Barack Obama’s legacy of civic engagement.
The recruitment campaign comes after Fox News Digital reported that the organization’s CEO, former top Obama aide Valerie Jarrett, was paid $740,000 in 2024.
Foundation officials told Fox News Digital the volunteers will complement about 300 full- and part-time employees at the long-delayed center, which the organization is promoting as a $3.1 billion economic catalyst for the Windy City’s South Side.
Travelers nationwide are dealing with lengthy security line backups at airports due to the partial government shutdown affecting the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and, in turn, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). As the shutdown continues, the TSA is increasingly facing staffing shortages that have led to long lines at airport security checkpoints. Unfortunately, it sounds like those staffing issues are only getting worse. “Travelers are facing TSA lines of up to nearly three hours long at some major airports, causing missed flights and massive delays during peak travel,” the DHS said in a statement.
Poet Robert Frost once said that "good fences make good neighbors." He apparently never met Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, who is being sued by his neighbors for effectively squatting on their land and then seizing it to install a fence along his $830,500 private residence in suburban Philadelphia. The litigation is likely to put Shapiro in a much different light for many who think of him as a 2028 contender. The irony of the case is crushing. Shapiro opposed Trump's plan to build a wall along the southern border, declaring that he would sue before a dime of Pennsylvania money went to pay for it. He apparently adopted
George Soros’s Open Society Foundations is funding the slavery reparations campaign against Britain. The Telegraph has the story.
The Open Society Foundations (OSF), established by Hungarian investor George Soros and now led by his son, Alex Soros, has donated vast sums from its $23 billion (£17.2 billion) endowment to progressive causes.
The foundation has provided hundreds of thousands of dollars to groups seeking to claim reparations from Britain for slavery and colonialism.
The OSF helped to found a joint Caribbean and African campaign, and supported organisations that are now considering international litigation that could heap pressure on the British Government.

The theft of the 2020, 2022 and 2024 elections has moved to the Grand Jury stage, probable cause established and records seized in Maricopa and Fulton Counties. Next up, Philadelphia, Detroit and Milwaukee. All five should and may well lie under close Federal supervision on voting day during the 2026 midterms. (Snip)Thune has, grindingly, consented to refer the Save Act to a vote, possibly next week.
Thune is, like most elected Republicans, pretendian MAGA counting the days when he can go back to playing defence and lining his pockets. The fact that voter fraud has deprived the Republicans of a clear unbreakable majority for THREE election cycles is clearly beyond him.
Oil pumping operations are expected to begin imminently off the coast of California after President Trump issued an executive order Friday to resume oil drilling operations near Santa Barbara, The Post has learned.
Officials for Sable Offshore Corp. informed local fire officials of their intent to “resume pumping operations within 24 hours.”
The notification is a standard protocol for industrial activities involving hazardous materials pipelines.
“This coordination allows the department to maintain readiness for potential emergency response, including resource staging, personnel alerting, and collaboration with other agencies, in the event of any incident such as a leak, spill, or fire,” Fire Chief Garrett Huff said in a statement to The Post.
Electric vehicles are probably the vehicle of the future, but they are not the vehicle of the present. Let’s look at the numbers.
An EV uses about six cents of electricity to go a mile. That’s if you charge it at home with inexpensive residential electricity rates. It’s more if you use a charging station, and it’s more if it’s a large vehicle like a Rivian. And by the way, be prepared to leave it plugged in for several hours to get it charged.
Gasoline-powered cars use about thirteen cents of gasoline to go a mile, assuming gas is something over $3/gallon and you get something like 25 mpg.

This story was only a video at Fox, thus the copy from Mediaite. The first thought that jumped to mind was the letter written to President Trump by a high-ranking commander in Venezuela’s armed forces who served under Hugo Chávez. The letter said there are U.S. Congressmen who have close ties with core Maduro people.
