A win for President Trump and the Dept of Homeland Security. The DC Court of Appeals has ruled against the plaintiff argument seeking to block the IRS (Treasury Secretary Bessent) from sharing cross-reference information with the Dept of Homeland Security (Secretary Noem). Bottom line, the IRS can share data with DHS to identify status of illegal aliens. “The only issue that we decide is whether, on the sparse record before us, Appellants have met their heavy burden to make a clear showing that they are entitled to the preliminary injunctive relief sought. For the reasons indicated, we conclude that Appellants have not.”

This is authority that the people give a President when they elect him to govern. What business is it of the courts in the first place?

Why not, as when the IRS determines that over one hundred people have filed income tax returns to obtain refunds using the same social security numbers, you would think that an investigation would be in order, duh!

Good. And Social Security should be helping, too. Any person being paid any way but by cash has to have a Social Security number associated with their pay process. For us normal people, that's our OWN SS number. For illegal aliens, it is a stolen and fraudulently used SS number. It is reported that many different illegal aliens use the same SS number, leading to SS getting FICA withholding payments each pay period from multiple jobs into the same SS account. This 'many payments into one account' process should be raising alerts that these are very likely to be illegal aliens, especially in cases where the payments come from distant cities. Certainly, some will be people with muliple jobs. But many will be illegal aliens fraudulently using someone else's SS number. IMO, SS as been loathe to do this for decades because it is "found money" since the illegals pay in and will never (we hope) collect any SS benefits.

Wouldn't a quick, simple fix be to rule that only ONE refund can be issued for any particular Social Security number? Why wasn't that always the policy? Or are those just filings----but no attempt was made to investigate the very obvious fraud?

Federal authorities raided the home and office of Los Angeles Unified School District Supt. Alberto Carvalho on Wednesday morning in what appears to be a probe related to a company that developed an AI chatbot for the nation’s second-largest school system.Authorities have not provided any details about the investigation. But one source with knowledge of the matter said it involved AllHere, a failed AI company whose founder was charged with fraud in 2024.(snip) the FBI provided an address in Florida that was searched Wednesday morning.

If you were with CTH when I did the deep dive into the Miami-Dade School Police Department and Miami-Dade School Superintendent Alberto Carvalho, you will likely remember how corrupt and sketchy he was. {SEARCH TOOL} Carvalho was tightly aligned with the Obama/Biden administration, the “my brothers keeper” program and the Dade/Broward County “Promise Program” where high school kids who committed felonies were directed away from the criminal justice system and instead given school punishments (suspensions etc.). I spent months fighting corrupt Miami-Dade officials and getting transcripts from internal police investigators who admitted to the corruption within the program. It was jaw-dropping.

President Donald Trump’s 2026 State of Union was one for the history books, but not simply because it was the longest annual speech a joint Congress has heard in decades. It could turn out to be one of the most identifiable forms of momentum Republicans can harness to perform well at the polls come November. Corporate media, armed with “tough” poll numbers they manufactured, wondered ahead of Tuesday night if Trump would pull off the pep rally Republicans need to stay in power after the midterm election. They kept up this schtick the morning after the State of the Union with coverage arguing that Trump did little to assist or invigorate

President Trump captured a fantastic moment with the gold medal winning USA Mens Hockey team during his state of the union remarks. After the Olympic team spent time in the White House earlier in the day, the team was introduced during the state of the union with thunderous applause and chants of “USA, USA” from the chambers. Even a few of the communists in the audience stood to applaud the team as President Trump highlighted his remarks about their success and the very unique nature of the team as a whole. A very American moment.

Every election cycle, super-rich, out-of-touch white Dem politicians try to convince us that they’ve got some mega magical connection with minority voters. They claim to understand minority struggles, speak their language, and know exactly what these communities need. How do they know this? Well, nobody’s known until now.

Occasional California Governor Gavin Newsom, who keeps turning up anywhere but California, has continued his highly calculated descent into vulgar and insulting behavior this week. The performance still has the awkwardness of the first week of acting school. It’s like watching a character play a character, many times removed from an identifiable real person. Whatever he’s doing, he’s definitely pretending.

The highest court in Panama has nulled the ‘Chinese’ contract for the operation of both entrance ports on the Panama Canal. The Panamanian government took back control and assigned operations to APM Terminals, a subsidiary of the Danish group A.P. Moller-Maersk.The state takeover comes after a 14-month long saga begun by President Trump who reasserted American interests in the hemisphere and rejected the concept of allowing China to have strategic control over such vital North American infrastructure. President Trump did not mince words in December of 2024 when he said, “[The Panama Canal] was not given for the benefit of others, but merely as a token

Central Intelligence Agency Director John Ratcliffe ordered the retraction of 19 intelligence products following an independent review that found the documents failed to meet regulatory standards of tradecraft and quality, the agency announced Friday. Redacted versions of three documents obtained by The Federalist showed that the analyses promoted left-wing ideology, took sides on domestic political disagreements in foreign countries, fell outside of the CIA’s official role, and were sourced to left-wing media, nongovernmental organizations, and nonprofit groups. This commitment to advancing leftist activism appears to span at least three presidential administrations beginning in 2015.

According to the Washington DC spin, the various EU energy ministers changed clean energy justification of ‘climate change’ during the International Energy Agency (IEA) summit because they were concerned the U.S. would pull out of the IEA group. The IEA shifted to green energy as a security priority, no longer concerned with climate change.However, given the situation with European energy costs and the severe problems they are having within their collective and individual economies, what they consider “national security” appears to be their need to control public outrage at the green energy consequences. Affordable or ‘cheap’ energy production is directly linked to the underlying economy.

Rep.

Footage of Democrats has quickly gone viral as nearly all did not clap for the statement either.

Gov. Tim Walz denounced the Trump administration’s latest threat to withhold federal funds from Minnesota as another step in a “retribution” campaign as he unveiled a package of legislation Thursday intended to fight fraud in public programs, a persistent problem that provided an impetus for the federal government’s immigration crackdown in Minnesota. The Democratic governor made the announcement a day after Vice President JD Vance said the administration would “temporarily halt” some Medicaid funding to Minnesota over fraud concerns, as part of what he described as an aggressive drive against the misuse of public funds. Walz’s proposals were in the works well before Vance’s announcement.

Sometimes all you can do is just shake your head. When you read about the tragic murder of young Ukrainian immigrant Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte, North Carolina, in August 2025, and then find out that her killer had at least 14 prior arrests, you want to cry or bang your head against the wall. The blue state style of justice brings one thing: victims of heartbreaking violence. A recent decision by a parole board in Gavin Newsom’s California seems to say, “we don’t actually give a rat’s butt about the victims, both past and future, and the criminals’ lives are more important than your own.” To wit: A California child molester once described

It's an issue that seems to have no end. Illegal immigrants driving 80,000-pound, fully loaded 18-wheelers across the nation, who barely speak English and cannot read road signs. Dozens of Americans have been injured or killed on America's highways because of these illegal immigrants who entered the country because of Joe Biden's open border. It's one thing to read about these tragedies that never should have taken place. It is quite another when you see it happening. In this case, it is nothing short of a miracle that there was not another fatality.
