Americans Are Done With Feckless, Useless,
and Weak Fake Allies

Give Donald Trump credit for his ambition – he’s not only taking out America’s longstanding enemies, but he’s redefining the entire post-war world order. No biggie – he’s just changing everything about the world that we all grew up in. But we’re conservatives, so when you change something, you generally need to demonstrate a good reason to do so. If it’s not broken, don’t fix it, and so on. But the old order was broken. Disastrously so.

As President Trump tries to regain control of the crisis created by his war of choice in Iran, much of the rest of the world is in a struggle to secure energy resources. In Britain, pressure on the Government to drop its commitments against North Sea oil and gas production is intensifying. The debate no longer divides on Left-Right, Labour-Conservative lines, with Chancellor Rachel Reeves, unions and even a caucus of Labour MPs putting the spotlight on Ed Miliband, on whom the Prime Minister has said the decision rests. While we wait for a clear answer from the Government about how rising energy prices are going to be managed,
America is living through a moment difficult to describe without sounding a little unhinged.
But here goes: We are watching the United States do things that only the United States can do. In the span of a few days, Americans have watched astronauts push farther into space than any human beings in history, while U.S. forces execute military operations so precise and technologically overwhelming that they look like something written for a Hollywood script. Pilots are being rescued in missions that resemble "Mission: Impossible." Terrorists are being eliminated with the kind of targeted strikes that only a modern superpower can carry out.
Twitch streamer and political gadfly Hasan Piker has a nose for publicity. More than a billion people have seen his Twitch stream that features some truly outrageous, hate-filled — even for a radical leftist — rants. He says that America "deserved" 9/11. The pro-Israel group StopAntisemitism nominated Piker as "Antisemite of the Year" in 2024 for remarks he made about Israel after the October 7 attack. Specifically, he excused Hamas's sexual violence against Israeli women, saying it “doesn’t change the dynamic” of the conflict.
Indeed, he has been disavowed by much of the establishment Democratic Party,
Following Operation Epic Fury, supply chain disruptions have ricocheted across the market and hiked gas costs for the average American – with Californians paying the prettiest penny at the pump.
Though AAA data shows the average national cost of gas has jumped from $2.98 to $4.018 over the past month, Californians are shouldering more crushing gas costs. The Golden State has enacted stringent regulations on the oil and gas industry for decades, implementing the highest gas tax in the nation, moving to block fracking permits and attempting to phase out the sale of new gas-powered vehicles by 2035 before Congress and President Donald Trump stopped the effort.

Reform UK will block visa requests from any country that demands reparations from the UK should the party win the next election, saying such claims “ignore that Britain made huge sacrifices to be the first major power to outlaw slavery”. The Mail has more.
Home affairs spokesman Zia Yusuf claimed such nations ignore the “huge sacrifices” the UK had made to ban slavery.
Several African and Caribbean countries – such as Nigeria and Jamaica – have made requests, raising the prospect that their nationals could be barred from entering the UK.
Yusuf said: “A growing number of countries are demanding reparations from Britain.
Iran Prepares to Dupe the West Again

On the menu today: The U.S.-Israeli war against Iran reaches a proposed two-week cease-fire . . . at least on paper; the cease-fire has not stopped Iran from firing missiles and drones at Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates. The list of demands from Iran is an ayatollah’s wish list, but President Trump seems bizarrely enthusiastic about a proposal for the U.S. and Iran to jointly charge a toll fee for ships to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

A quiet surge is reshaping American courts in states such as Georgia and Missouri to prevent the encroach of Sharia law.
State legislators are advancing “American Laws for American Courts” (ALAC) and related measures. These laws attempt to keep the U.S. and state constitutions as the sole legal authorities. The message to Americans is clear: no foreign codes and no parallel tribunals. This effort addresses real risks in family law, contracts, child custody, arbitration, and other legal conflicts.
These laws are not instance of intolerance or fearmongering; Sharia principles have clashed with constitutional rights in our nation, and these laws will help prevent such clashes in the future.
The Justice Department this week wrapped up health care fraud investigations in California, Florida, and Nevada, saying it recovered about $500 million.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said the Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, chaired by Vice President JD Vance, and the Justice Department are together “supercharging efforts to take down every fraudster and bring them to justice.”
Here are three adjudicated cases this week that ended in either a settlement, sentencing, or guilty pleas. 1. Florida Obamacare Payments
The DOJ obtained guilty pleas and a civil settlement from AP of South Florida LLC., a one-time subsidiary of AssuredPartners Inc., a national insurance firm.
Vice President JD Vance will lead the United States’ negotiating team in Pakistan to work out the details of a peace agreement with Iran, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said.
“The president is dispatching his negotiating team led by the Vice President of the United States JD Vance, Special Envoy [Steve] Witkoff, and Jared Kushner to Islamabad for talks this weekend,” she said.
“The first round of those talks will take place on Saturday morning, local time, and we know we look forward to those in-person meetings,” she added.

in Potential Fraud, Begins Taking Action: Report 6 replies
Vice President J.D. Vance has reportedly uncovered over $6 billion in potential fraud after President Donald Trump tapped him to lead a nationwide task force meant to root out criminal activity.
The task force has identified $6.3 billion in government contracts linked to potentially fraudulent businesses, The Daily Caller reported Wednesday.
“The task force, alongside the General Services Administration (GSA), are beginning to send out letters to nearly 400 businesses with government contracts that they believe could be fraudulent,” according to the report. The investigation found 895 contracts awarded to 392 businesses, totaling $6.3 billion, “with $3 billion still left to be rewarded.”
Virginia governor Abigail Spanberger (D.) took credit for over $7.1 billion in business investments to the Old Dominion—investments that were actually secured by her Republican predecessor, Glenn Youngkin.
Spanberger's Monday announcement listed four bipartisan bills she signed that detail the capital investments from Avio USA, Hitachi Energy, Eli Lilly, and AstraZeneca, which involve building new facilities and will bring more than 3,200 jobs building rocket motors, producing critical electrical grid infrastructure, and manufacturing pharmaceuticals. The legislation provides financial incentives for each company.

Left-wing actor George Clooney is calling President Donald Trump a war criminal after Trump insisted he intended to erase away the oppressive Iranian Mullah’s “whole civilization.”
The actor, who abandoned the U.S.A. to take up residence in Italy, ripped Trump for his social media post warning the oppressive, terror-exporting, Iranian regime that he intended to utterly destroy them.
Trump took to his Truth Social account on Monday, April 7, to warn the Mullahs, writing, “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change,
A Haitian illegal immigrant released into the US by the Biden administration’s lax immigration policies allegedly bludgeoned a Florida mother at a gas station in a brazen daylight attack.
Rolbert Jaochin, 40, is accused of striking the 51-year-old woman multiple times, leaving her to die in the parking lot outside a Chevron gas station in Fort Myers around 7:20 a.m. Friday, according to court records viewed by The Post.
The woman was found by first responders outside the convenience store, not breathing, lying in a pool of blood around her head, according to the documents.

You almost have to admire how far some Republicans are willing to go to lose the 2026 midterms — and ultimately, the country.
Throughout their recent two-week vacation, several GOP lawmakers have been making the media rounds to tout “bipartisan” legislation they claim will finally solve America’s broken immigration system. There’s just one teensy-weensy important detail that somehow gets brushed aside: The bill would allow millions of illegal aliens to continue living in the United StatesSponsored by Reps. Maria Elvira Salazar, R-Fla., Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., and other lawmakers, the so-called DIGNIDAD (Dignity) Act permits “certain long-term undocumented immigrants to earn legal status, without amnesty or a path to citizenship”
Republican Mike Lawler is trying to pull off one of the oldest tricks in the Swamp, and he’s using the left’s playbook to do it. Lawler is taking amnesty, dressing it up in soft compassion, slapping a warm and fuzzy “marketing” name on it, and hoping voters are dumb enough not to notice. That’s exactly what the so-called “Dignity Act” is. It’s massive amnesty with a brand new makeover, but no amount of spin is going to change what it really is.(snip)The people who’ve been here illegally for years aren’t more sympathetic because they managed to stick around longer.
U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins sent USDA staff an Easter email that emphasized the story of Jesus being crucified and resurrected, a message that some Christians said alienated them for its overt religiosity. “Happy Easter — He is Risen indeed,” Rollins wrote in the email sent on Good Friday, which CNBC has reviewed and was first to report.
“From the foot of the Cross on Good Friday to the stone rolled away from the now empty tomb, sin has been destroyed,” Rollins wrote.

A Biden-appointed federal judge blocked the Trump administration from ending temporary amnesty for thousands of Ethiopian nationals in the U.S. since 2022. In a ruling on Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy described the Trump administration’s “termination” of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) amnesty for Ethiopian nationals as “unsurprising in light” of President Donald Trump’s executive order, Reuters reported.
Murphy also noted that “the will of the President does not supersede that of Congress.”
“Fundamental to this case—and indeed to our constitutional system—is the principle that the will of the President does not supersede that of Congress,” Murphy said. “Presidential whims do not and cannot supplant agencies’ statutory obligations.”
Donald Trump, War Criminal?

Over the last couple days, we’ve been hearing that, once the Dems take the midterms, they’ll immediately start preparations to try Donald Trump for war crimes in Iran. The loudest voice here – as is usually the case – is James Carville (actually, what he said was more like “We gone git that-theah Donal’ Trump for woah crimes roun’ heah.”), but he hasn’t been alone. Is there any truth to this? What they’re referring to, it seems, is Pres. Trump’s announcement that he intends to target infrastructure, particularly power generation and bridges,

The past five years have seen a massive migration of Americans out of heavily Democratic counties and into ones where Donald Trump won majorities in each of the past three elections. That’s according to an exclusive analysis by Issues & Insights of the latest Census Bureau and election data.
Most analyses of internal migration patterns look only at state-level data. And what they show is that blue states are losing population to red states, and have been for many years.
I&I wanted to go deeper, so we used the latest Census data on migration between counties, and compared that with how these counties voted in the past three presidential elections.

Would Direct City Resources to ‘Black
and Brown New Yorkers’ 14 replies
Democratic New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has introduced a “racial equity plan” directing city resources to “black and brown New Yorkers” in an attempt to “confront institutional and systemic racism within our city.”
The mayor’s policy proposal targets housing, health, and economic opportunities, and seeks to address disparities by prioritizing neighborhoods and residents that have supposedly been historically marginalized by economic or structural factors.
Mamdani’s Preliminary Citywide Racial Equity Plan and True Cost of Living Measure prompted a warning from U.S. Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, who called the measure “fishy” and promised to take a closer look at its legality under current civil rights laws.
Iran’s ceasefire with the United States reportedly turned on a dramatic final-hour intervention from Mojtaba Khamenei, the country’s still-unseen new supreme leader, whom sources said gave negotiators the green light to move toward a deal as President Donald Trump’s deadline — and the threat of a much broader U.S. bombardment — loomed U.S. and Israeli officials learned Monday that Mojtaba had, for the first time since the conflict began, instructed negotiators to move toward an agreement, according to Axios, which cited Israeli, regional, and other sources familiar with the talks.

Looking up information on Google today means confronting AI Overviews, the Gemini-powered search robot that appears at the top of the results page. AI Overviews has had a rough time since its 2024 launch, attracting user ire over its scattershot accuracy, but it’s getting better and usually provides the right answer. That’s a low bar, though. A new analysis from The New York Times attempted to assess the accuracy of AI Overviews, finding it’s right 90 percent of the time. The flip side is that 1 in 10 AI answers is wrong
