Apple has announced a significant expansion of its American Manufacturing Program on Thursday, bringing four new partners into its domestic supply chain as part of a broader push to strengthen U.S. manufacturing capabilities. CNBC reports that Apple will invest $400 million through 2030 in new programs with Bosch, Cirrus Logic, TDK, and Qnity Electronics to manufacture essential materials and components in the United States. The companies will produce parts for Apple products that will be sold worldwide, marking a major expansion of the tech giant’s commitment to domestic manufacturing. CEO Tim Cook characterized the partnerships as evidence of the potential of American manufacturing. “Another powerful example of

I will not spend any money with two companies. One is Google, the other is Apple. NO use of any of their services or products. Both are bad companies.

Progressive Seattle congresswoman says
illegal immigrants must be given reparations
to make up for the trauma of ICE activity

Woke lawmaker Pramila Jayapal called for illegal immigrants to receive reparations to make up for the 'trauma' of being targeted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The progressive Washington Democrat blasted ICE activity in the latest of her 'shadow hearings' about immigration reform on Friday, which she titled 'Kidnapped and Disappeared.' Jayapal called for 'offensive action' against ICE activities, saying she hoped for 'prosecutions and real accountability' against immigration agents. At the end of the day, the people that have been inflicting this harm need to be prosecuted,' she fumed. 'They need to be brought before us and they need to be held to account for the 'trauma' that they
Biden-Era Policy Could Set The Stage For
Another 2008-Style Housing Disaster

A lingering Biden-era credit scoring policy is quietly expanding access to credit, which could pave the groundwork for another 2008-style housing crisis. VantageScore is a nontraditional credit scoring system that makes it easier for people with limited credit histories and certain kinds of debt to establish a credit score. Lenders can then use that data to extend mortgage eligibility to riskier borrowers, and potentially illegal aliens. VantageScore allows lenders to factor in data like rent, utility, and phone payments in evaluating mortgage applicants, while ignoring risk factors like medical debt and paid collections. The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) authorized VantageScore for use by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac

Kevin Warsh, President Trump’s nominee to replace Jerome Powell as Fed chair, has been making the rounds on Capitol Hill in recent days, securing support from Republican senators he needs for confirmation and maybe a Democrat or two. Nevertheless, his nomination remains, as one Hill insider put it, “at an impasse,” a source close to the situation told On The Money. As this column goes to press, Sen. Thom Tillis from North Carolina still isn’t budging from his position that while he supports Warsh’s nomination, he won’t vote him out of the banking committee to the full Senate until the Trump DOJ drops what he considers a politicized investigation of Powell

If the American left doesn’t like carrying a phone in their pocket that reminds them, more than occasionally, that Donald Trump is president, how do you think they’re going to react when they have to carry a constant reminder of him in their other pocket, as well? On Thursday, the Treasury Department announced that President Trump’s signature will be appearing on redesigned currency starting this summer, the first time a president’s John Hancock will appear on U.S. bills. The move was being made to honor the 250th anniversary of the United States, the Treasury Department said in a media release.

Some of America’s wealthiest couples are now collecting $100,000 a year in Social Security benefits, a six-figure payout that a new proposal says should be capped to help keep the retirement program solvent beyond 2032. About 1 million beneficiaries receive at least $50,000 annually — or more than $100,000 for a retired couple — representing less than 2% of the roughly 56 million people age 65 and older who get Social Security, according to an analysis by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. The nonpartisan think tank projects that share will grow over time because of annual cost-of-living adjustments and as more Americans reach retirement age.

The news out of the United Kingdom every day is so mind-bogglingly stupid, so rife with cultural suicide and betrayal, that it can become numbing. But a brief video that began circulating on Wednesday was even worse than the general run of the daily news out of the Sceptered Isle, and showed, as if anyone on the planet doesn’t know by now, what shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain will be like in five years, and ten. The video shows several rows of primary schoolchildren, neatly arranged on prayer rugs, kneeling and prostrating themselves before Allah. This was, however, not footage from an Islamic school in Britain or anywhere else. On the contrary,

Justice Clarence Thomas has become the fourth-longest-serving justice in U.S. Supreme Court history as of Thursday. Thomas reached 12,572 days on the bench—34 years and 153 days—moving past Chief Justice John Marshall, according to tenure calculations based on his October 23, 1991, commission date. The milestone comes just months after Thomas moved into fifth place, surpassing Justice Hugo Black in November 2025, as previously reported by The Dallas Express. At that time, Thomas had logged 12,448 days and trailed only four justices in total tenure. Now ranked fourth, Thomas sits behind Justices William O. Douglas, Stephen Johnson Field, and John Paul Stevens. He will not surpass another justice for around

This Saturday, America will be treated to the magnificent migration currently known as the “No Kings March.” This seasonal display generally occurs in the Spring and the Fall, when the weather is fine and people aren’t away on vacation. It has gone by other names in the past, such as "Occupy," “Hands Off,” and “Black Lives Matter,” before settling into its current identity, which is based squarely on opposition to the democratically and popularly elected president. And with a little preparation, even a beginner can enjoy observing and photographing this impressive display!

Derek Barrs knew cleaning up the trucking industry would be a big job when President Donald Trump gave him the task, having spent years cracking down on commercial drivers for the Florida Highway Patrol. Yet, even Barrs was surprised when he took the reins of the federal agency that manages the trucking industry — a crucial facet of the country’s economy currently beleaguered with illegal migrant drivers who can’t speak English, shady companies skirting enforcement regulations and hundreds of trucking schools handing out licenses like candy.

Vile Philadelphia protestors cheered as a masked ringleader celebrated the death of US service members in shocking new footage – before calling for Hamas rockets to explode across American homes. “For every US soldier that returns home in a casket, we cheer,” the provocateur shouted outside Philadelphia’s city hall, according to footage filmed by local conservative activist Frankie Scales. “Until we have done everything in our power to bring the United States to its knees, let us not lose sight of the enemy,” the man yelled, with the crowd cheering loudly at each hateful invocation.

It’s a new day and a new story about US taxpayers being screwed over by their own government. Every time Americans think they’ve finally seen the total run of scams, another ugly little program slithers out of the woodwork. This time it’s a $300 million USDA program that was supposedly about “helping farmers” get land, capital, and access to the markets. Sounds like a sweet deal, right? Until you look closer and realize this was yet another taxpayer-funded setup built around DEI, helping foreigners become US farmers while actual American citizens are getting squeezed like a tube of toothpaste. The constant betrayal is overwhelming. Americans work, pay taxes, follow the rules, and

ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel was called out for mocking newly confirmed Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin as an "unqualified" plumber during his monologue Tuesday night. "Trump's got a whole new generation of thinkers lined up, including his newly confirmed secretary of Homeland Security, Markwayne ‘Chuck Mike Bruce Dave’ Melon — Mullin. Maybe melon's better," Kimmel said. "He's the now former senator of Oklahoma. Before he was elected to the Senate, Markwayne Mullin was a low-level MMA fighter and a plumber. That's right.

Will Fariah Brewer be disciplined? Will she be thrown out of the military? Wearing a hijab, Brewer on Monday recorded a video that quickly went viral. In it, she happily admits that if she is commanded, as a member of the U.S. military, to fight other Muslims, she would disobey the orders. She makes this clear in the context of a discussion of the conflict with the Islamic Republic of Iran. Will the Army take action? Or would doing anything to call Brewer to account be “Islamophobic”? [Tweet, video] It’s axiomatic: a soldier in the U.S. military should be loyal to the United States.

The Church of England installed a woman as its leader for the first time. Sarah Mullally is now the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury, the first woman to hold that position. The Church of England was founded in 1534, but the installation ceremony in Canterbury dates back more than 1,400 years. In addition to serving as senior bishop and the symbolic leader of the Church of England, Archbishop Mullally also becomes the most prominent figure in the worldwide Anglican Communion, which includes Episcopalians in the U.S.

The Southern District of Florida (“SDFL”) federal grand jury has just issued criminal subpoenas to major players like former FBI Director James Comey and CIA Director John Brennan. This action is no fishing expedition but rather the telltale sign that a massive RICO criminal enterprise is finally being cracked open, which I’ve suggested earlier would happen given the Clinton crime family and Seth Rich’s unsolved murder. Two thousand years ago, Jesus walked into the Temple and saw money changers and merchants turning a house of worship into a profit racket. He flipped tables, scattered coins, and exposed the corruption. The Pharisees and Sadducees panicked and plotted his death.

NASA’s chief on Tuesday said the US space agency will invest $20 billion to develop a base on the Moon, while suspending its plans to create the lunar orbital space station known as Gateway. The agency intends to pause Gateway in its current form and shift focus to infrastructure that enables sustained surface operations,” Jared Isaacman said in a statement given during a day-long event at NASA headquarters in Washington. Despite challenges with some existing hardware, the agency will repurpose applicable equipment and leverage international partner commitments to support these objectives,” he said. The European Space Agency among other international organizations were partners on the planned Gateway project.

The Mexican Navy announced on Thursday that it has begun a search-and-rescue mission in the Caribbean Sea for two sailboats carrying "humanitarian aid" to Cuba. Reuters describes the vessels as "sailboats" and says they left Isla Mujeres, in the Mexican Caribbean state of Quintana Roo, last week. They did not arrive in Havana as scheduled on Tuesday or Wednesday. The journey is about 300 to 350 miles, depending on the route. Combined, the two boats had nine people on board, including eight adults and a four-year-old child. Reuters also reports that they were a part of the "Nuestra America Convoy."

U.S. intelligence intercepted Ukrainian government communications discussing a plot to route hundreds of millions of American tax dollars earmarked for clean energy in the war-torn country and move them to the United States to enrich then-President Joe Biden’s 2024 re-election campaign and the Democratic National Committee, according to a declassified intelligence report summarizing the intercepts that was obtained by Just the News. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard recently learned of the intercepts and has asked the U.S. Agency for International Development officials to scour for records to see if the plot actually was carried out and whether a criminal referral should be made to the FBI.

There are up to a thousand “no-go zones” across Europe and thousands more “sensitive” neighbourhoods as a result of decades of mass migration policies and the failures of multiculturalism to integrate disparate groups of foreigners into Western society, a report has found. The report, “No-Go Zones, Immigration and the Rise of Parallel Societies,” from the conservative New Direction Foundation for European Reform think tank, estimated that there are between 900 and 1,000 urban areas that could be deemed as “no-go zones”, in which there are elevated levels of crime, social fragmentation, and weakened state authority.

After two months of unyielding negotiations, both parties gave up early Friday on reaching a grand accord to reform and fund the Department of Homeland Security. Instead, Senate Republicans accepted what Democrats have been offering for weeks — cash for all of DHS except for ICE and part of Customs and Border Protection. The Senate approved the funding package by a voice vote and is now expected to begin a scheduled two-week recess. The House could vote as soon as Friday, before the shutdown would break the record Saturday night for the longest funding lapse of any federal agency in U.S. history. Senate Majority Leader John Thune called the outcome “unfortunate” Friday.

March 20, 2026, marked a turning point in the 2026 Iran war, when Iran launched two intermediate-range ballistic missiles at the joint U.K.–U.S. military base on Diego Garcia, a remote island in the Indian Ocean. Although both missiles failed to reach their target—one malfunctioned in flight, while the other was successfully intercepted—the attack sent shockwaves through Western Europe. This missile proved that the late Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei had lied for years about the true range of Iran’s missile arsenal. Khamenei claimed Iran’s missiles could not threaten beyond the Middle East and their range had been limited to 2,000 kilometers.
