Secretary of State Marco Rubio ordered the termination of lawful permanent resident status for Hamideh Soleimani Afshar, identified as Qasem Soleimani’s niece, and her daughter. Both were subsequently detained and are now in the custody of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).Marco Rubio – “Last night, the niece and grand niece of deceased Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps Major General Qasem Soleimani were arrested by federal agents (snip)
Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter are now in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. As identified by both press reporting and her own social media commentary, Soleimani Afshar is an outspoken supporter of the totalitarian, terrorist regime in Iran.
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

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
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.

And speaking of bums, right on cue, Lindsey Graham was off to Orlando for a delightful vacation at Disneyworld.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio appears on Fox News to discuss the various goals and objectives of the U.S. military operation against Iran. (snip) Secretary Rubio was asked about the strategic conflicts and hypocrisies now flowing from NATO member states.
The U.S. supports our NATO posture in Europe in part because it provides us with strategic military bases and operations that are considered vital to our national interests. However, (snip), when we need to use those strategic bases the NATO member states withdraw previous permissions. F(snip)

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.

Drivers 75 years old and over would face testing to keep on driving under a bill proposed in the Michigan Senate.
The proposal from Democratic state Sen. Rosemary Bayer means that, if passed, every four years a driver of 75 would need to pass a vision exam, a written driving rules test, and a driving skills test to get a license or renew one, according to Click on Detroit.
At the age of 85, those requirements kick in annually. Many seniors did not like the concept.

Ever notice how sometimes you stumble across a story where, about one paragraph in, you already know how it will end? Well, here's another; it turns out that building a huge solar panel farm in tornado country, sooner or later, is going to produce perfectly predictable results.
Case in point: A billion-dollar solar farm in Indiana has been wrecked by an EF-1 tornado - not a big one, as tornadoes go, but big enough.
An article from the German climate science critical Report24 reports on a major disaster involving a solar farm in Indiana that was destroyed by a tornado, underlying the fragility of PV systems as a source of energy.
While basking in the protection offered by America's military capability so they can fund their bulging, barely-functioning welfare programs, and taking advantage of America's powerful economy with preferential tariffs in their favor, when asked for support, these putative allies run for cover.

[For] nearly five decades, relatively little, if any, condemnation was heard coming from the UK, France and Spain about Iran's despotic and murderous activities across a wide array of geographical arenas. Then, when the US made a small request -- the use of a base to remedy this global horror -- the UK turned it down.
President Trump’s fiscal year 2027 budget request, released on Friday, asks Congress to spend $152 million to reopen Alcatraz as a “state-of-the-art secure prison facility.”
The President has long embraced tough lock-up conditions for violent criminals “as a symbol of Law, Order, and JUSTICE.”
Last May, President Trump called the Bureau of Prisons to reopen the original Alcatraz off the coast of San Francisco to house the “dregs of society.” He said in a Truth Social Post, “We will no longer be held hostage to criminals, thugs, and Judges that are afraid to do their job and allow us to remove criminals,
The niece of slain Iranian mastermind Gen. Qasem Soleimani, who referred to the United States as the “Great Satan,” was arrested along with her daughter by US officials, the State Department announced Saturday.
Hamideh Soleimani Afshar, who celebrated attacks on US soldiers and military bases in social media posts, and her daughter were nabbed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Friday as part of a push by the US to revoke green cards of foreign nationals with ties to the Iranian regime. “While living in the United States, she promoted Iranian regime propaganda, celebrated attacks against American soldiers and military facilities in the Middle East, praised the new Iranian
Democrat officials from 23 states and the District of Columbia announced Friday they’re suing to block President Donald Trump’s recent executive order regulating mail-in and absentee ballots.
The suit was slated to be filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. A copy of the lawsuit wasn’t available as of press time.
Trump doesn’t have the constitutional authority to control elections, California Attorney General Rob Bonta told reporters during a news conference Friday morning. Bonta, a Democrat who’s co-leading the coalition of plaintiffs, noted the authority rests with states and Congress, not the federal executive branch. “The framers of our Constitution made sure that how we
The Trump Administration’s fraud task force, led by Vice President JD Vance, revealed on Thursday that it has identified and suspended 221 fraudulent hospice and healthcare providers.
According to Fox News, the massive progress comes after just 70 providers were initially suspended last week.
But it’s not stopping there.
“We expect this number to grow much, much higher in the coming weeks,” a senior Administration official said.The Administration’s War on Fraud once again yields results as more suspensions take place and fraudsters face justice for ripping off hard-working Americans and stealing their tax dollars and social services,” a spokesperson for Vance said.
President Trump has signed an executive order (EO) intended to reform and structure college sports, primarily by limiting the number of years a player is eligible and the number of transfers.The order states college athletes can play a maximum of five seasons during a five-year window and allows them to transfer schools only once before they graduate without having to sit out a season,” ESPN reports. “A school that plays an athlete who doesn’t meet these new limits could risk losing its federal funding.”Serious legal obstacles could prevent the order’s implementation. Trump hinted at as much during his roundtable with former college coaches and administrators last month.
The State Department has added business formal dress code guidance to its internal policy manual for the first time, establishing department-wide standards for employee attire.
The changes, implemented in recent days in the Foreign Affairs Manual — the department’s central repository for policies — mark the first time the agency has formally codified expectations for how diplomats and staff should dress in official settings.
"Representing the United States of America is an honor — and this new policy ensures our diplomats project credibility, respect, and the dignity of the nation we serve," Assistant Secretary Dylan Johnson told Fox News Digital.
The updated policy applies broadly across
The New York Times set out Friday to embarrass President Donald Trump over his hardline stance on NATO. It wound up spectacularly backfiring on them.
Several NATO nations have declined to join a U.S.-Israel military operation targeting Iran. Alliance members also refused Trump's requests to deploy their forces to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, much to the chagrin of President Trump, who figures that if NATO allies won’t help the United States, then the alliance has become meaningless.
So the paper ran a piece criticizing Trump's threats to withdraw from the alliance, and the print edition’s headline asked a pointed question: "A North American Treaty Organization Without America?"
