Ex-Prince Andrew arrested on his birthday
over Epstein allegations
Posted By: Mercedes44, 2/19/2026 7:26:13 AM
Disgraced ex-Prince Andrew was arrested Thursday on suspicion of misconduct in public office for allegedly forwarding confidential trade documents to pedophile pal Jeffrey Epstein. At least six unmarked police cars and around eight plain-clothed officers swooped on the king’s brother’s Sandringham Estate in eastern England early Thursday — Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s 66th birthday. If convicted on the misconduct charge, the former prince faces a maximum sentence of life in prison.One officer was seen carrying a police-issued laptop after arriving at Sandringham at around 8 a.m., with the cars leaving around 30 minutes later. Police also searched a separate property in Berkshire, the force said, without directly identifying the king’s brother, citing strict UK laws.

Trump More Than the Dems — and in Every
Category, Too! 12 replies
“Are you crazy?” hollers the second guy. “Lions can reach a top speed of 50 mph! You can’t outrun a lion!”
“I don’t need to outrun the lion,” huffs the first guy. “I just gotta outrun you.”
That’s the blessing and the curse of binary decision-making: Unless perfect is on the ballot, whoever the voters choose will have flaws.
It’s a curse for good governance, because it means the process itself is inherently flawed. Its features and bugs are one and the same; it’ll always be an arduous, inefficient, slow-moving system. (Which, in all honesty, is often a positive.)
But it’s a yuuuge blessing for candidates, because having flaws and character defects isn’t fatal.
The State Department on Sunday issued a warning to U.S. citizens in certain parts of Mexico to shelter in place until further notice on account of “ongoing security operations and related road blockages and criminal activity.”
The regions listed in the advisory include the Mexican states of Jalisco, Tamaulipas, Michoacán, Guerrero and Nuevo Leon. The warning came after the Mexican army killed the powerful leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, or “El Mencho,” on Sunday, Mexico’s Ministry of Defense said in a statement on the social platform X.
Violent clashes erupted in parts of western Mexico after the drug lord’s death,
Sports commentator Stephen A. Smith on Friday blasted the Democratic members of Congress who plan to boycott President Trump’s State of the Union address this week, calling it “the kind of stuff that ticks me off.”
“You see, when you go to the American people and you ask the American people, ‘Yo, stand up, step up and hand them your business, stop b—-ing and screaming all the time when you’ve got problems at the job, when you’ve got bills to pay, when you’ve got a family to take care of, find a way to work around it, adhere to your business,’ how come that can’t apply to elected officials?”
Cartel gunmen have begun carrying out terrorist attacks in various states in Mexico in response to the death of the country’s most powerful terrorist cartel leader, Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera Cervantes. Mexico’s government confirmed the death of the cartel boss, which resulted from an enforcement operation. Mexican officials confirmed the death of Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera Cervantes early Sunday afternoon. Officials reported that El Mencho died during a targeted enforcment operation where government forces killed four gunmen. Officials claim El Mencho was among those killed in the gun battle.
The U.S. Embassy in Mexico issued an emergency shelter‑in‑place alert on Sunday, warning Americans to remain indoors as cartel violence erupted across multiple states following the Mexican military’s killing of CJNG leader Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera. The alert covers Jalisco, Tamaulipas, Michoacán, Guerrero, and Nuevo León, where roadblocks, burning vehicles, and armed clashes have shut down travel and triggered widespread flight cancellations. As violence erupted across the region, the U.S. Embassy and Consulates in Mexico issued a security alert, warning, “Due to ongoing security operations and related road blockages and criminal activity, U.S. citizens in the named locations should shelter in place until further notice.”
The California political machine is officially in panic mode.
With the June 2026 primary fast approaching, a shocking new reality is setting in for the Golden State’s Democrat establishment: the very voting system they championed could shut them out of the Governor’s mansion completely.
Unlike most states that hold partisan primaries, California dumps all candidates from all parties into one single primary election.
The only rule?
The top two vote-getters advance to the general election
Party affiliation doesn’t matter
That means:
If Democrats split their vote among multiple candidates, and Republicans consolidate behind just one or two, it is entirely possible for two Republicans to advance to the November runoff, shutting Democrats out completely.
On Sunday, the Palm Beach County Sheriff, Ric Bradshaw, announced the identity of the man shot and killed trying to enter President Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate. The intruder has been identified as 21-year-old Austin Tucker Martin of North Carolina. That's uncomfortably close, although the president wasn't present, nor were any other Secret Service protectees.
RedState's own Susie Moore covered the story as it broke earlier on Sunday: An assassination attempt? President Trump is often at Mar-a-Lago on weekends, although it's not difficult to ascertain his whereabouts on any given day. But, President Trump has attracted his fair share of attention from nutcase would-be assassins.
RedState has been keeping readers in the loop on the controversy surrounding the major sewage spill into the Potomac River, affecting Washington, D.C., and nearby areas.
On Tuesday, President Donald Trump wrote in a Truth Social post that "as a result of incompetent Local and State Management of Essential Waste Management Systems," namechecking Democrat Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, "[t]he Federal Government has no choice, but to step in. FEMA, which is currently being defunded by the Democrats, will play a key role in coordinating the response.".
We also shared Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem pointing out the hypocrisy of Congressional Democrats leaving these same federal employees without pay,
A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds,” Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote. The Democrats might repeat Emerson’s motto, but they go one better. They eschew all forms of consistency—except one. Today, since the Supreme Court just ruled against Trump’s use of the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose tariffs, the Dems are in a festive mood and are happy to praise the Court. No worries, Trump has recourse to many other statutes to pursue his economic policies. That was something the Left began to realize by Friday afternoon, when Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent set forth their plans for a workaround.
Former Vice President Mike Pence just reminded the MAGA movement what a duplicitous traitor he is — and always has been.
On Friday afternoon, Justices John Roberts, Amy Coney Barrett, and Neil Gorsuch joined the court’s three liberal members to strike down President Trump’s signature tariff policy, a central tenet of his 2024 campaign.
Pence, who is widely despised across the conservative grassroots, took to the X platform to celebrate the decision:
Today’s 6-3 ruling by the Supreme Court is a Victory for the American People and a Win for the Separation of Powers enshrined in the Constitution of the United States.
Remember during the first year of the Trump 2.0 administration, when the Justice Department started cleaning house, as part of the process of fixing the immigration system left in tatters by former Pres. Joe Biden and VP Kamala Harris? As we wrote, over 100 immigration court judges were either fired or left of their own accord. In another part of the change-over, the Defense Department brought in hundreds of lawyers from the military ranks to serve as judges. That seems to have kicked things into high gear. Syracuse University's TRAC program showed that almost 80 percent of asylum seekers were deported in the last quarter of 2025.
Trump Calls on Netflix to Fire Susan Rice
18 replies
This week, former Obama advisor and current Netflix board member Susan Rice pulled back the curtain on what Democrats plan to do once they’re back in power, and it was pretty fascist.
On Preet Bharara’s podcast, Obama’s scandal-scarred former U.N. ambassador promised that any corporation, law firm, university, or media outlet that “took a knee to Trump” will be targeted when the left is back in charge. “It’s not gonna end well for them,” she warned, casting basic engagement with the Trump administration as a kind of original sin that must be punished.
And now President Donald Trump wants accountability.
On Saturday, Trump called on Netflix to fire Rice.

Who Cares If Democrats Boycott Trump’s SOTU?

A few days ago, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) gave America some very welcome news. During a press conference he said that his Democratic members had two choices with regard to President Trump‘s upcoming State of the Union address: “The two options that are in front of us, in our house, is either attend with silent defiance, or to not attend.” This will definitely be a win-win for everyone who tunes in Tuesday evening to hear what the President has to say about his first-year accomplishments and future plans for the country.
Brazilian social media influencer Bianca Dias died on Thursday following complications from plastic surgery.
The 27-year-old social media star reportedly suffered a pulmonary embolism — a risk tied to major cosmetic procedures — after experiencing shortness of breath while recovering from a recent surgery at her family’s house near Sao Paulo, TMZ reported.
Dias was rushed to hospital, but doctors were unable to save her.
The bank admitted on Friday that “more than 50 Trump accounts” were cut off in February 2021, weeks after the January 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol, according to the New York Times.
The revelation by JPMorgan came after Trump “and the Trump Organization” filed a lawsuit in January against JPMorgan Chase and its CEO, Jamie Dimon, for having debanked the president, according to the outlet.
Per the outlet, accounts that JPMorgan reportedly “debanked” were accounts “for Trump hotels, housing developments and retail shops” in several states, along with “Trump’s personal private banking relationship that handled his inheritance:”

Request for Him to Lie in State in the Capitol 28 replies
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson announced on Friday that he was denying a request from the family of former Democratic presidential candidate and civil rights activist Jesse Jackson to allow Jackson to lie in state in the Capitol rotunda.
There was an immediate reaction from many on the left. (X) However, Johnson was absolutely right to deny the Jackson family's request to allow his body to lie in state in the Capitol rotunda.
There are very strict protocols governing who can lie in state. Even former Vice President Dick Cheney was denied that honor. Generally, the honor is reserved for presidents, noted military leaders, and select government officials.

Shovel Snow — But They Must Show Two
Forms of ID! 24 replies
New York City officials are looking to hire 1,000 emergency snow shovelers as a major winter storm moves toward the region.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani said during a press conference on Saturday that the city is preparing for what could be its most significant snowfall in nearly a decade.
“For those who want to do more to help their neighbors and earn some extra cash, you too can become an emergency snow shoveler,” Mamdani said.
”Just show up at your local sanitation garage between 8 am and 1 pm tomorrow with your paperwork,” he added. Workers will be transported by vans and buses beginning Sunday night to clear bus stops, crosswalks, fire hydrants,
Biden Briefed and Approved Mar-a-Lago Search

A new FBI memo puts President Joe Biden in the thick of the Mar-a-Lago search of President Donald Trump's home.
The memo puts an end to any rumors or partisan talking points; internal emails and memos outline briefings, coordination, and presidential approval before federal agents entered Trump's home.
In January 2022, the National Archives and Records Administration received 15 boxes of presidential materials from Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate. Staff members found documents bearing classified markings, and requested additional materials from Trump's team.
Archivist officials believed more records remained at the property. The dispute moved from paperwork to potential criminal exposure within a matter of months.

"This is AI slop. It is impossible that Newsom actually said this," social scientist Charles Murray posted in response to California Gov. Gavin Newsom's latest ham-fisted attempt at connecting with voters outside his state. "Right?" Murray added, and you could practically hear him begging for it not to be true.
"Holy God in heaven please tell me that my black brothers in Christ can look at the world's stupidest white man and understand that he is a bad person," my old X acquaintance Political Math added.
My Townhall colleague Amy Curtis noted, "It's just like when Joe Biden said, 'Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.'"
The defendants, Samaneh Ghandali, 41, a U.S. citizen; her sister Soroor Ghandali, 32, an Iranian national on a student visa; and Samaneh’s husband Mohammadjavad Khosravi, 40, an Iranian national and legal permanent resident, were all residents of San Jose at the time of the theft.
Samaneh and Soroor previously worked at Google before joining another unnamed tech firm, while Khosravi, a former member of the Iranian army, was employed at a developer of system-on-chip (SoC) platforms, such as Qualcomm’s Snapdragon series used in high-end Android phones and Apple’s iPhones.
The armed madman who was shot and killed by the Secret Service after he snuck onto President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate Sunday was reportedly obsessed with the Jeffrey Epstein files — and implored others to “raise awareness” just days before the deadly encounter. Austin Tucker Martin, 21, was gunned down by local Florida police and members of the Secret Service after he brandished his shotgun in a “shooting position” on Trump’s property, authorities said. He was reported missing by his family after he vanished Saturday. His mother, Melissa Martin, made a missing person poster for him, describing the silver Volkswagen he
