Lindsey Graham’s attempt to distract
from Disney scandal goes hilariously wrong
Posted By: earlybird, 4/1/2026 1:26:47 PM
The American people are already furious that the Senate slithered off into recess without getting the SAVE Act over the finish line, even though requiring proof of citizenship and voter ID is one of the very few issues that actually has bipartisan support across the country. It’s literally one of the few things we can agree on, and our elected officials are like “oh well, too bad for you…unresolved, and the people we sent to DC to do a job vanish the second they need to actually represent us. (snip) And speaking of bums, right on cue, Lindsey Graham was off to Orlando for a delightful vacation at Disneyworld. Yes. Disney.

Pam Bondi was President Donald Trump’s second choice for attorney general, and she never quite fit. Bondi often looked uncomfortable in the top prosecutor role, fumbling her way through and failing to meet the demands of a Department of Justice with a mandate to bring the criminals in the corrupt Biden administration to account.
The frustration from the MAGA movement has been mounting for many months. The president’s patience had worn threadbare with an attorney general who — for many reasons — never did deliver on one of Trump’s biggest campaign promises: justice for the people caught in the crosshairs of the left’s political lawfare campaign.
Here we are again. Another deadly act of political violence, and once again the mainstream media wants absolutely nothing to do with it. Why? Well, because it destroys the lie they’ve spent years selling. They still want the few viewers they have left to believe the greatest threat to “democracy” is the white male Trump supporter in a red MAGA hat. Meanwhile, so much of the political rage, instability, and violence keeps coming from the left.(snip)This was the targeted killing of a Trump supporter by a former coworker who hated her politics and had been hostile toward her before the murder. And the press, which never misses a chance .
The jobs numbers are coming in hot, and they’re hitting at the right moment for Trump. The war with Iran, rising gas prices, and hand-wringing from the usual doomsayers is causing a lot of understandable concern. But, right on cue, the US economy showed up and punched straight through expectations.
As we head into midterm season, there’s nothing voters care about more than the economy.
It’s still early, and a lot can change, but there are signs things may be turning around March jobs did not just beat expectations.They beat them to a pulp.
ActBlue is to the Democrat party fundraising machine as WinRed is to the Republican side of the equation.
In a rather stunning outline by the New York Times [SEE HERE] the progressive outlet is reporting of serious concerns within the leadership of ActBlue related to their willfully blind reception of foreign sources of money to fund Democrat candidates.The remarkable aspect is not just that ActBlue takes foreign funds, but rather the New York Times revealing internal legal discussions about it. According to the Times reporting, the Eric Holder law firm Covington & Burling, the primary legal mechanism for the ActBlue/DNC machinery, lies at the heart of the matter.
One crew member has been rescued and the search continues for the second pilot after a U.S. F-15 fighter jet was shot down over Iran, according to reports.
The crew member was rescued by US forces, two US officials have told CBS News. Two sources tell CNN that the rescued pilot is alive and receiving medical attention.
Officials say one of the airmen of the F-15E Strike Eagle was ejected before the aircraft went down. U.S. officials are racing to recover the second pilot before Iranian forces can reach them. Israel is helping the United States

The Bureau of Labor and Statistics (BLS) has released the March employment report [DATA HERE] reflecting gains of 186,000 private sector jobs, with another 8,000 federal government jobs eliminated. Net gain 178,000 jobs.
Forecasters had anticipated around 63,000 net jobs gained: the actual result triples expectations.[BLS Report – Table B]
This is a challenging time to use data to estimate overall employment strength, mainly due to the repatriation efforts underway that are removing illegal alien workers from the labor force.
As deportation efforts continue against the black-market workforce, in combination with targeting efforts toward fraudulent ‘mismatched’ social security records used to gain unlawful -albeit visible- market employment, it becomes challenging to quantify
In a two-week period right after the 2024 election, the most energy expended by the transition team putting a cabinet together was toward Main Justice or the Dept of Justice. As a consequence, those around Lutnick and Wiles spent an incredible amount of time thinking about the Attorney General pick.
Following an insider discussion, I spoke with several people about positions and appointments, focused on pointing out that the transition’s priorities were misplaced. The AG needed to be someone with exceptional moral character, capable of gathering information and presenting it for public consumption, with the option of supporting criminal referrals if necessary.
The birthright citizenship fight is one of the most important battles in front of the Supreme Court. It’s there right now, and yesterday, in a historic move, President Trump became the first president in US history to sit and listen to oral arguments. (snipThen came Justice Alito, and unlike Ketanji Brown Jackson and her emotional fog machine, he brought the argument back to the real issue: allegiance and the actual legal meat of the question. But Alito went a step further, totally nuking the Dems’ entire argument with this one brilliantly played scenario… based in fact.
They stopped their oil and gas exploration. They chose to chase ‘net zero’ academic pontifications. They closed their refining operations. They took apart their coal-fired electricity plants. They disassembled their nuclear power capabilities. Then, the absolute cherry on the proverbial cake, they voted to stop purchasing oil and gas from Russia.
The EU is now in the Find Out stage of their FAFO positioning.
Gasoline prices have skyrocketed. The last shipments of jet fuel have arrived. Major airline carriers are cancelling flights due to lack of fuel. Faster than the EU can organize meetings to discuss their position, EU destined LNG shipments have diverted to southeast Asia and

Trump Signs Order Creating National Eligible

Voter List, Tightening Mail-In Ballot System 12 replies
President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday regulating elections nationwide by establishing a list of voters eligible to vote by mail.
“The cheating on mail-in voting is legendary. It’s horrible what has been going on,” Trump said.
“If you don’t have honest voting, you can’t have, really, a nation.”According to the order—which is expected to spark legal challenges—only American citizens are eligible to vote by mail, with lists verified by the Homeland Security Department, in coordination with the Social Security Administration.
The U.S. Postal Service is ordered to only send ballots to individuals included on the lists, with unique bar codes applied to each envelope—one per voter—to facilitate tracking and audits.

Carville: Trump Will Be ‘Impeached in 2027’
25 replies
[WARNING: Adult Language]
Wednesday on the “Politicon” podcast Democratic strategist James Carville predicted President Donald Trump will get impeached in 2027.
Carville said, “You know who’s gonna turn on you? What’s left of the Republican senators. There may be 43 to 45 of them left. Now the House is gonna vote to impeach you. You’re gonna be impeached in 2027. These senators can’t stand you. These Republican senators, they can’t stand you. They have to be there because of their politics, back in their states, but it’s gonna be apparent to them that you’re a loser. You’re a losing * bet. You’re going to see all this come around
Former Vice President Kamala Harris warned that President Donald Trump must not be allowed to pick two “additional justices” for the Supreme Court, adding that Democrats “must be clear-eyed about what is at stake.”
In a post on X, Harris — who lost the 2024 Presidential election against Trump, shared an article from the New York Times about how a “liberal organization” was “preparing a multimillion–dollar effort to oppose potential Trump Supreme Court appointees before they happen.”
The New York Times reported that Josh Orton, who serves as “the president of Demand Justice,” predicted that “the project would cost $3 million to start and $15 million more if vacancies occurred”:
The Islamization of Catholic Charities
23 replies
The Catholic News Herald, “Connecting Catholics in North Carolina”, bragged that the refugee case coordinator for the Catholic Charities Diocese of Charlotte, had been recently honored.
His name? Ashir Haji-Mohamed. The latter part of the name meant that he had made a pilgrimage to the Islamic holy city of Mecca.
Haji-Mohamed, a former Somali refugee, had previously been in the news for helping resettle Syrian Muslims, as well as Jordanians and Turks, in North Carolina. After the Biden retreat, Catholic Charities of Charlotte had also worked to bring Afghans to North Carolina.
The Islamic Center of Asheville doubled in size as Catholic Charities dispatched Afghans there, and then working with “a Catholic

passengers having to remove shoes at airport
gate checkpoints 22 replies
Illinois Democrat Sen. Tammy Duckworth sent a letter to the Transportation Security Administration on Friday demanding the agency rescind its "shoes-on" policy, according to a report.
In a letter obtained by CBS News, Duckworth called the policy a "reckless act" that may be placing flight passengers at risk.
Duckworth also warned that the policy was likely implemented "without meaningful consultation with TSA," citing an investigation by the Department of Homeland Security's inspector general that found it created a new security vulnerability in airport screening systems.
The IG's classified report found that TSA scanners are unable to effectively screen shoes, raising concerns that threat items could evade detection. The report was allegedly buried
In a development raising red flags across the Atlantic, Britain’s Labour government has appointed the UK’s first “anti-Muslim hostility tsar” and adopted a new definition of anti-Muslim hostility — reframed from “Islamophobia” — as part of its £4 million social cohesion strategy.
The definition describes such hostility as “a type of racism” targeting “expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness,” including prejudicial stereotyping that could incite hatred.
Officials claim it addresses record-high anti-Muslim hate crimes while protecting free speech. Critics, however, see it as a potential censorship tool that could limit scrutiny of Islamic extremism, grooming gangs, or integration challenges.
The Gulf countries were trying to advance a resolution drafted by Bahrain in the United Nations Security Council that would allow the use of force to defend their shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. The resolution: Now that would seem simple, and primarily defensive, to be able to protect yourself and get through But the effort was effectively stymied on Thursday by three countries. You could probably guess two of them - Russia and China. But the third was ridiculous: France. They opposed any authorization of military action or use of force, according to a diplomat and a senior U.N. official..
President Donald Trump on Friday proposed to begin privatizing airport security operations handled by the Transportation Security Administration, in an effort to save money.
The White House budget proposes cutting funding for the federal agency created after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks by $52 million and would require small airports to enroll in a program in which TSA pays for private screeners.
TSA has about 50,000 federal employees who handle screening at nearly all U.S. airports. Budget documents released on Friday said airports currently using the privatization program have demonstrated savings compared to federal screening operations.
In recent weeks, major U.S. airports suffered massive disruptions after TSA security officers went unpaid since mid-February
Two years ago, career criminal Guy Rivera shot and killed NYPD Detective Jonathan Diller on a street in Queens while he was doing the job this city asked him to do.
He was 31 years old. A husband. A father. A police officer who understood what the work required of him and accepted it.
On that night, he stepped forward into danger with the same sense of purpose and nobility that defined his career. This week, a jury returned its verdict. And that not guilty verdict of murder in the first degree landed like a gut punch to the entire New York City Police Department.
Iran told mediators that it will not meet with American officials in Islamabad, Pakistan, and has rejected U.S. demands, the Wall Street Journal reported Friday.
The decision is the latest blow to President Donald Trump's efforts to broker an agreement to end the war, which began nearly five weeks ago. Trump stated this week that Iran had asked for a ceasefire, though he may have referenced a public comment from Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian expressing openness to a ceasefire in exchange for security guarantees.
CBS News is the Titanic of broadcast news organizations. It's a century old, spans the globe, airs something like a dozen programs, and employs more than 10,000 — the most powerful all cut from the same ideological mold.
Steering that hulk away from the iceberg is no easy feat, but it's the assignment given to new editor-in-chief Bari Weiss by parent-company Paramount CEO David Ellison.
Weiss has been at the helm for less than a year, so I've been more than willing to cut her plenty of slack as she tries to steer the massive ship more toward the center. Results so far are mixed — and she was never going
It’s easy enough to dismiss Sen. Bernie Sanders’ endless lament that the rich don’t “pay their fair share of taxes,” but he should still be held to account when he flat-out lies about how much the rich do pay.
In an op-ed published by the Guardian, Sanders repeats a number of leftist tropes: income inequality has never been greater, the Trump tax cuts benefited the rich and big corporations, the middle class is getting screwed. Yadda, yadda, yadda.
But then he starts making some remarkable claims.
He says that Warren Buffett’s tax rate is 0.1%, “while the average
The elephant in the room grows bigger after a look at the latest violent crime statistics: blacks are the greatest perpetrators, and the greatest victims, of criminal violence. First, let’s look at a new stat, from AFPost on X:
That means just 285 suspected shooters were white, while a whopping 18,715 were non-white. When we cross-reference that data with numbers from the city, we see more of the whole picture. The latest report from the NYPD is from 2024, with a few brief and relevant points below:
66.8% of the shooting victims and 64.5% of the shooting suspects are black, despite blacks actually being less of the population
