Michael Goodwin, writing at the New York Post, made a claim remarkable for its simple clarity: “The Democratic Party We Once Knew Is Dead.” You and I can readily agree with Goodwin, but the party is certainly not dead and gone.

Husband Arrested in Suspected Domestic

Coral Springs Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer Bowen was found dead in her home Wednesday morning, and her husband was taken into custody in a case police say is being investigated as domestic violence.
Officers arrived around 10 a.m. for a welfare check at her Broward County residence, and after gaining entrance to her house, they found her body. Authorities then arrested her husband, Stephen Bowen. Police have not released the cause of death or confirmed what charges, if any, have been filed.
Police have not said what triggered the welfare check or how long she had been dead before officers arrived. Authorities have also not said whether anyone else

Should California codify Islamic religious observances into state-recognized holidays in the United States?
As a nation, the essence of who we are as a People is rooted in our Judeo-Christian values and principles, dating back to the Magna Carta. This shared moral vocabulary has shaped Western thinking since America’s founding. Why, then, would any State in the Union formally endorse or incorporate into our educational and other public institutions a religious doctrine with practices antithetical to the belief system?
AB 2017, introduced by Progressive Democrats Assemblyman Matt Haney and Senator Aisha Wahab, proposes adding Eid al-Fitr (Festival of Breaking the Fast) and Eid al-Adha (Festival of Sacrifice) to California’s recognized holidays.
Global Warming: It’s Not Unusual
6 replies
Hysteria about global warming stems from the fact that, as best one can estimate, the Earth’s average temperature has increased by around 1.1 degree C over the last century. Global temperatures have fluctuated widely in the past, and it has long been debated whether the current increase is anything unusual. At the Science of Climate Change, computer scientist Les Hatton recounts a relatively simple analysis that he conducted, using the oft-studied Greenland ice cores. From the paper’s abstract:
In this paper we first dissect the background behind this number and what it means. Second, we use the Epica-Vostok Ice core dataset, a single proxy dataset for temperature data sampled every century
How many times have you been told that fact-checkers are neutral arbiters of truth, selfless guardians of an informed democracy, heroic watchdogs standing between you and dangerous misinformation? It’s the tallest of tales that we’re just supposed to take for granted.
And then they give us every reason not to believe it.
PJ Media readers have long known that mainstream fact-checkers are anything but neutral. During COVID, biased fact-checkers were deployed like weapons to silence dissenting voices on vaccines, lockdowns, and lab leak theories. After the 2020 election, conservative outlets — including this one — had to walk on eggshells with every piece we published, constantly watching for anything
Democrat Kings Want Our Heads
8 replies
American leftists held another “No Kings” rally last weekend. Democrats and their ideological allies gathered in city parks and town squares to tell the rest of us how awful we are. They screamed obscenities and called us “fascists” and “Nazis.” They demanded President Trump’s removal from office. Some even brazenly wished for his death.
To non-leftists, these things are cringeworthy spectacles. The participants look loony and behave immaturely. They are not serious people. Their messages make no sense. How are they able to protest so vocally if they are living under the yoke of tyranny? How are they able
Battle of the murals

Providence Mayor Brett Smiley wants a mural of Iryna Zarutska taken down because the intent of those funding the mural is misguided and divisive. I don’t agree, and have an opinion that runs counter to his. I believe this nation needs many more murals of Iryna Zarutska as a reminder of what happened to her. Moreover, I want those murals to supplant every mural of George Floyd, the patron saint of losers. That’s right. I want every mural of George Floyd to be painted over with a mural of Iryna Zarutska. Elon Musk could fund the effort. Which mural is more deserving of display?

The Supreme Court is scheduled to take up the case regarding birthright citizenship Wednesday morning, and President Donald Trump said from the Oval Office Tuesday that he would be in attendance to listen to oral arguments.
"I'm going," he told reporters, "because I have listened to this argument for so long." (X) White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed later Tuesday that he did indeed plan on being there as the justices hear arguments over the constitutionality of an executive order he signed on his first day back in office in January 2025. Called “Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship," the order sought to end birthright citizenship for
The mixed messaging, cognitive dissonance, and blatant hypocrisy on display at the latest round of “No Kings” protests in places like New York City reached epic proportions this past weekend.
If you were in New York City on Saturday during the third edition of the No Kings movement, you would have seen a smorgasbord of far-left groups aiming to sow the seeds of revolution in America.
You would have seen numerous flags adorned with the hammer and sickle. You would have been surrounded by collectivist swag and literature for sale, including copies of The Communist Manifesto. You would have seen banners with socialist slogans celebrating depraved monsters like
AGADIR -- Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) officially confirmed today that Alireza Tangsiri, commander of its naval forces, died after sustaining severe injuries.
Last week, Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz announced that Israeli forces killed Tangsiri in an overnight airstrike, and that the operation also killed senior naval officers. He claimed that Tangsiri is the one responsible for many “terrorist” operations and blocking the Strait of Hormuz.
The Iranian authorities however did not confirm his death at the time of the Israeli announcement. The US -Israel – Iran war continues after US and Israel carried out a joint strike against Iran on February 28, targeting Tehran and several Iranian cities.
MADEIRA BEACH, Fla. — Dozens of people looking for seashells found something much bigger, and perhaps "greater," off of Florida's coast.
Around 49 guests with Hubbard's Marina in Madeira Beach went on a shelling excursion at around 11:15 a.m. Friday when they found a roughly 10-foot Great White shark 25-75 yards from the shoreline of Shell Key.
The shark was seen in the area for following large schools of tarpon fish as it was "displaying a calm but curious demeanor."
"Seeing a shark of this size and grace so close to the island is a 'stop-everything' moment for our guests," Captain Dylan Hubbard, Owner of Hubbard’s Marina, said in a statement. "We see
A Ventura County woman has died from a rattlesnake bite she suffered while hiking at Wildwood Regional Park, authorities said Wednesday.
The recent fatality marks the second rattlesnake-related death in California this month. Experts say record-breaking heat has made the snakes active earlier than usual.
Southern California is a hiker’s paradise, but out on the trails, you’re rarely alone. The Southern Pacific rattlesnake is “right at home in the cracks and crevices of the great outdoors,” said local hiker Croy Tan. “Technically, this is where they are. This is their place, you know what I mean,” he added.
On March 14, the Ventura County Fire Department said a 46-year-old woman

During oral arguments at the Supreme Court on Wednesday, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson made her case for why the children of foreign tourists ought to qualify for birthright American citizenship if they are born in the United States while their parents are on vacation.
The case, known as Trump v. Barbara, will decide whether or not President Donald Trump’s executive order to end birthright citizenship for the U.S.-born children of illegal aliens and foreign tourists, often referred to as “anchor babies,” is constitutional.
During an exchange with the ACLU’s Cecillia Wang, who is arguing that the order is unconstitutional, Jackson seemingly made a case for why birthright citizenship should extend to foreigners

President Donald Trump says he is reconsidering America’s membership of NATO after not a single member heeded his call for aid in securing the Middle East from Iranian threats, he told a British newspaper.
It was “actually hard to believe” the hard refusals of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO’s) European members, that the instinct to rally to the flag of a fellow member when called wasn’t reflexive, U.S. President Donald Trump has told The Daily Telegraph.
Top Iranian officials denied President Trump’s claim that the regime begged for a cease-fire deal on Wednesday, insisting that Tehran is committed to winning the war.
A spokesperson for the office of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian rejected Trump’s post on Truth Social claiming that Tehran had reached out to Washington for a peace deal.
“The stance of the Islamic Republic of Iran regarding the defense of the homeland against the onslaught of the forces of evil and the conditions for ending the imposed war has undergone no change, and there is no regard whatsoever for the delusions and lies of the criminal aggressors,” Seyyed Mehdi Tabatabaei wrote on X.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson (D) claims President Donald Trump’s administration is committing “assaults against immigrants” less than 10 days after 18-year-old Sheridan Gorman was murdered in the Windy City, allegedly at the hands of an illegal alien released into the United States by the Biden administration.
During a “No Kings” protest in Chicago, Illinois, over the weekend, Johnson told MS NOW in an interview that Americans must fight the Trump administration on immigration.
“We have to end the assaults against immigrants,” Johnson said, among other things.
ABC News was out of control with their dangerous conspiracy theories Tuesday morning. In an attempt to gaslight their viewers into thinking President Trump was preparing to do something horrific against America, they pretended that the White House didn’t already have a bunker underneath it. They blatantly claimed the one reportedly being built under the new ballroom was being designed for him to hold onto power and control the country after he would refuse to leave office.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi floated the possibility on Tuesday that Republicans might try to hack into election systems to change the outcome of the 2026 midterm elections.
That’s rich coming from a leader in the Democratic Party who chastised the GOP for questioning the integrity of the 2020 presidential election.
You’ll recall that Democratic election officials in 2020, without the approval of their state legislatures, made all kinds of last-minute election rule and procedural changes regarding mail-in ballots and due dates, among other matters, in key swing states like Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin,

Strike ‘Entombed’ Iran Uranium Deep
Underground, Avoiding High‑Risk Ground Op 13 replies
The recent massive U.S. strike near Iran’s central city of Isfahan likely sought to render Tehran’s remaining highly enriched uranium stockpile inaccessible by burying it deep underground — a strategy that would negate the need for a prolonged and risky U.S. ground operation to extract the material, according to an Israeli military analyst writing Tuesday.
Writing in Ynet on Tuesday, Israeli military analyst Ron Ben-Yishai — a veteran Yediot Ahronot correspondent and Israel Prize recipient — assessed that the strike reflects a deliberate U.S. effort to neutralize Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile by entombing it beneath rock, soil, and collapsed tunnel infrastructure rather than attempting to remove it by force.

Legal Status of Migrants Who Used CBP

federal judge has ruled that the Trump administration unlawfully pulled the plug on nearly a million asylum-seekers who were temporarily allowed to live in the U.S. thanks to the Biden-era CBP One app.
Fox News reports that the app was used by then-President Joe Biden’s administration beginning in 2023 to allow migrants to schedule appointments with immigration officials with many of the migrants being paroled into the U.S. for up to two years.
On Tuesday, U.S. District Court Judge Allison Burroughs invalidated the Trump administration’s decision to end the immigration parole status of migrants who entered the country under the Biden-era CBP Home policy.In her ruling, Burroughs wrote,
President Donald Trump on Wednesday night delivered an address to the nation that achieved the legacy media headlines he needed to be displayed for the American people and made an unequivocal America-first declaration that the issues surrounding the Strait of Hormuz are not America's problem.
"We produce more oil and gas than Saudi Arabia and Russia combined," Trump said in a prime-time White House address. "And we're in great shape for the future. The U.S. imports almost no oil through the Hormuz Strait and won't be taking any in the future. We don't need it."
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is willing to join the US-Iran war and is preparing to help the United States and other allies reopen the Strait of Hormuz by force, according to a new report that cited Arab officials. This comes as Iran continues its attacks on the UAE and other Gulf states in response to US-Israeli attacks on its territory. Such a move would make the UAE the first Persian Gulf country to join the conflict directly. This also comes after US President Donald Trump lashed out at allies on Tuesday for not doing more to support the US war effort against Iran,
NASA successfully launched its Artemis II lunar mission Wednesday night, signaling the first moon mission since the space agency ended its Apollo missions over 50 years ago.
The mission marks the first time NASA astronauts have left Earth’s orbit since 1972 to embark on the roughly 685,000-mile journey aboard the Orion capsule and slingshot back for the return home.
Launch director Charlie Blackwell-Thompson told the Artemis crew that “the hopes and dreams of a new generation," are with them as they aim to reach a greater distance from Earth than anyone has before.

but research raises doubts about their criticisms 11 replies
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., teamed up on a proposed moratorium on data centers. The measure would “enact a reasonable pause” in the development of such facilities.
Ocasio-Cortez said in an announcement on the bill that AI poses an “existential harm” to our society. The two lawmakers demand that “billionaire Big Tech oligarchs” not be allowed to harm health and safety, that AI should be developed for the benefit of workers and not the wealthy, and that data centers should not impact electricity costs.
The first two points tie socialist ideals to topical concerns, which was the same strategy the pair used to advance the—
