President Donald Trump said Friday he intends to nominate Kevin Warsh as the next chairman of the Federal Reserve, marking a comeback for the former Fed governor who was passed over for the top job in 2017. “I have known Kevin for a long period of time, and have no doubt that he will go down as one of the GREAT Fed Chairmen, maybe the best,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. “On top of everything else, he is ‘central casting,’ and he will never let you down.” Warsh, 55, served on the Fed’s Board of Governors from 2006 to 2011 and has advised Trump on economic policy.

WASHINGTON -- Foreign leaders and governments presented to former President Joe Biden, his wife, U.S. Cabinet members and other senior officials tens of thousands of dollars in gifts in the last year of the Biden administration, including a $19,000 painting, an $11,000 necklace, a $5,000 bracelet and in one case $15,000 in cash, according to the latest accounting from the State Department.
The annual report, published Thursday in the Federal Register by the department’s Bureau of Protocol, covers calendar year 2024 and does not include any gifts given to President Donald Trump or his administration in the first year of Trump’s second term.
Federal employees are required to report gifts they receive

Certificates to Avoid Being Sent to Countries
of Origin 7 replies
Migrants from countries other than Mexico have been purchasing false birth or marriage certificates that are then sent to the United States in order to avoid being deported to their country of origin.
The false birth or marriage certificates are being sold by actual government offices of Mexico’s Civil Registry for $1,500 to $2,500, a report from El Universal revealed. The publication found that false birth certificates are being sold from government offices in various border cities in the southern state of Chiapas. Since those documents are expedited out of government offices and are listed in government databases, they may have inconsistencies, but they appear legitimate when officials search for them
SURPRISE, Ariz. — The Immigration and Customs division of the Department of Homeland Security has purchased a behemoth commercial building in Surprise, Arizona, as the agency looks for space to hold immigrants in detention.
Democratic lawmakers in the state say they are concerned the purchase represents the next step in an aggressive crackdown on immigration enforcement, similar to what is unfolding in Minnesota – the site of protests, emergency lawsuits and two deaths of citizens. Minnesota’s Chief Federal Judge has ordered the head of ICE to appear in court on Friday about ICE’s tactics there.
According to Maricopa County Recorder documents, ICE purchased the 418,000-square-foot warehouse for just over $70 million

Lefty New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill urged residents to film ICE agents operating in their neighborhoods and upload the videos to a state “portal” she vowed to launch.
“If you see an ICE agent in the street, get your phone out,” the Democrat, just eight days into her first term as governor of the Garden State, said in a sit-down interview with The Daily Show host Desi Lydic Wednesday night.
Sherill’s administration will soon be launching a “portal,” she said, so New Jerseyans “can upload all their cell phone videos and alert people” about local immigration operations.
It was unclear how much this portal would cost Garden State taxpayers to launch.
The Justice Department’s Antitrust Division has awarded its first-ever whistleblower payment: $1 million to an individual who exposed a bid-rigging scheme that inflated used car prices.
The whistleblower’s tip led to criminal charges against EBLOCK Corporation, which agreed to pay $3.28 million in fines for failing to stop a conspiracy at a company it acquired.
The case marks a milestone for the Antitrust Division’s six-month-old whistleblower rewards program. It signals the government’s commitment to incentivizing insiders who report corporate wrongdoing, particularly schemes that harm everyday consumers in major purchases like automobiles.
EBLOCK, which operates an online auction platform for used vehicles, acquired Company A in November 2020. Court documents reveal
President Donald Trump filed a $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service for negligently allowing one of its contractors to maliciously leak his tax returns to the New York Times and other leftist media outlets in 2019.
Trump, who filed the 27-page federal complaint Thursday in Miami, also named the U.S. Treasury Department as a co-defendant.
Trump is suing in his personal capacity as the founder and former CEO of the Trump Organization, and not in his official capacity as president. The litigation was jointly filed by his sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, as well as the Trump Organization.
In the complaint, the president said the IRS did not properly

Augusta, Maine - Democratic state Rep. Deqa Dhalac will not seek reelection to represent House District 120, and says the decision comes after "serious reflection and conversations" about the political climate for Black elected officials.
Dhalac says during her time serving in the Maine Legislature, the climate has become "increasingly hostile and unsafe." "Throughout my tenure, I have experienced persistent racism, harassment and threats that reflect a broader national pattern targeting Black and brown elected officials," Dhalac said. "These dangers are real and carry heavy emotional and physical consequences not only for those serving but for their families as well."

Former NFL star Charles Tillman swapped footballs for rifles and pistols after hanging up his cleats, swapping a career on the field for one in it.
That was until one day in January 2025 when ICE descended on Chicago.
After 13 seasons in the NFL, the former cornerback joined the FBI, enrolling in the bureau's 20-week training program in Quantico, Virginia in 2018, two years after retiring from football.
And the Chicago Bears icon embraced the role, previously citing a desire to 'do my part and give back' as his reasons for joining up in an exclusive interview with The Daily Mail last year.

A Connecticut school district canceled an event with President Donald Trump’s Education Secretary Linda McMahon after reportedly receiving “concerns” from parents.
McMahon was supposed to visit McKinley Elementary School as part of her “History Rocks” tour, which entails visiting schools across all 50 states in connection with the administration’s celebration of America’s 250th anniversary, CT Insider reported.
Fairfield Public Schools told families on Wednesday night that the event was called off after “many families” said they would keep their children home from school, according to the report.
“Following this evening’s announcement about the Secretary of Education’s planned visit to McKinley on Friday, we heard from many families who expressed concerns
Hillary Clinton took to social media to express support for the rioters in Minneapolis even as the disgraced former candidate and her husband were dodging a congressional subpoena looking into their relationship with family friend and Clinton Foundation co-founder Jeffrey Epstein.
After condemning the Trump administration’s push to deport illegal alien criminals from Minneapolis, despite the obstruction of violent leftist rioters who had tried to murder federal law enforcement agents and bit off an agent’s finger, Clinton urged directing funding to the rioters.
“In Minnesota, scores of ordinary people are bravely looking out for their neighbors, defending their communities, and protesting lawless violence,” she tweeted. “Here’s how to stand with them.”

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said Wednesday that his time as an elected official will permanently end when he finishes his term as governor. “I will never run for an elected office again. Never again,” Walz, the 2024 Democratic vice presidential nominee, said in an interview with MS NOW. Walz had said this month that he would not seek re-election as governor — sending shock waves through state and national politics — but he did not go so far as to say he would not consider another elected position down the line. In explaining his decision Wednesday, Walz talked about the

New York City (NYC) Mayor Zohran Mamdani cast blame on former NYC Mayor Eric Adams for the city’s $12 billion deficit budget, stating that the city is facing a “serious fiscal crisis.”
During a press conference on Wednesday, Mamdani accused Adams of underbudgeting important services that NYC residents “rely on every single day,” while “quietly leaving behind enormous gaps for the future.” Mamdani also accused former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) of extracting NYC’s “resources” and using the city’s revenues to “address state level holes, while withholding from the city what it was owed.”

Hunter Biden says it doesn’t matter that he has “ghosted” his 7-year-old daughter with ex-stripper Lunden Roberts because he never agreed to be a part of her life, according to a stone-hearted new legal filing. The 55-year-old former first son argued Tuesday in new court papers that the contentious Arkansas child support case for daughter Navy Joan Roberts shouldn’t be reopened after he and his baby mama settled in 2023. But Roberts, 34, earlier this month said Hunter should be jailed for failing to uphold his end of the bargain, claiming he’s refusing to talk to Navy and not giving her pieces of his artwork before it dramatically plunged in value

Following weeks of unrest in Minnesota over immigration enforcement in the state, White House border czar Tom Homan announced Thursday that he will begin reducing the number of federal agents in the state once state officials follow through on their pledge to begin cooperating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Homan, who was dispatched to Minnesota after the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti over the weekend, acknowledged that ICE and Customs and Border Patrol operations in the state had not been conducted “perfectly” and that changes needed to be made — but he also reserved significant criticism for Minnesota Democrats who have prevented federal agents from collecting the targets of enforcement operations
Former cable news anchor Don Lemon was arrested last night, multiple sources with direct knowledge tell CBS News. A source familiar says a grand jury was empaneled on this yesterday. FBI and HSI were involved in the arrest, sources say.

The head of a major Twin Cities police union slammed local officials for blocking cooperation between local cops and ICE and Border Patrol agents -- saying if they were involved, "there would be no loss of life." (snip) Since the Republican National Convention was held in St. Paul in 2008, Minnesota law enforcement has undergone extensive training in mobile field force configurations and crowd management for major events. And because of that, I think we're in the best position to deal with that," Ross said. "Unfortunately, our local politicians would not allow us to do that," he added.
With the clock ticking down to a potential government shutdown this Friday, Senate Republicans are reportedly considering a move that could leave the southern border wide open to invasion.
A group of Republican senators is now openly discussing whether to split the Homeland Security appropriations bill away from a six-bill funding package in order to avert a partial government shutdown that would impact the Pentagon and several other major federal departments, according to The Hill.
The six-bill package includes funding for the Departments of Defense, Health and Human Services, Labor, Education, Transportation, State, and financial services-related agencies.
Two Decades Of Inconvenient Inaccuracies

As most know by now, Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” global warming propaganda film turned 20 a few days ago. It won a couple of Oscars in 2007, one for best documentary. The latter should be returned. The movie was filled with errors.
Exalting the celluloid screed with an Academy Award for best documentary is the equivalent of handing the Nobel Peace Prize to a terrorist, an incompetent, a fraud, an unaccomplished charlatan, and, yes, Gore himself, because it was far more a faux-umentary than an honest account of the facts.
In the same year that Gore was given his participation trophy,
