Another day, another Chinese national in the United States, busted for doing something he shouldn't have been doing. This time it was a Chinese national, photographing aircraft at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska. The post reads in full: A 21-year-old Chinese national, Tianrui Liang, has been arrested and is facing charges after photographing a U.S. “doomsday plane” and other military aircraft without authorization at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska. He was taken into custody at JFK Airport following the incident.

Who will replace former Rep. Eric Swalwell? It won’t be some white guy. Here’s the list of candidates. In attendance were Democrats Aisha Wahab, Melissa Hernandez, Carin Elam, Rakhi Israni and Matt Ortega, as well as Republican Wendy Huang. Dublin resident Dena Maldonado, a Republican on the ballot, bowed out Sunday afternoon. San Leandro City Councilmember Victor Aguilar Jr., a Democrat, and newcomer Suzanne Chenault, listed with no party preference, did not respond to invitations to join the debate. Aisha Wahab, an Afghan Muslim, appears to have the inside track and is holding the process ‘hostage’.

President Trump’s executive order to fast-track the rebuilding of Los Angeles after the wildfires has resulted in almost 2,000 permits approved since it was signed in January, The Post can exclusively reveal. Trump’s order let state and local rules be preempted when it came to obtaining permits and allowed builders to “self-certify” that they have complied with “substantive health, safety and building standards.” The result of the administration’s take over was the approval of thousands of permits for people to begin the rebuilding process of homes and businesses ravaged by the January 2025 Pacific Palisades and Eaton fires, two of the most destructive blazes in LA history.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy touted some of the first successes of a massive, multibillion-dollar air traffic system modernization effort during a summit at department headquarters in Washington, DC, on Tuesday. Thousands of outdated telecommunications equipment like radios and phones are being swapped for brand-new models. Hundreds of radars are being upgraded. And the paper flight strips used by air traffic controllers to guide flights are getting ditched for new electronic ones — all accessible on one computer screen, Duffy and other officials said. As of this month, nearly 50% of the old copper wires powering critical communications between air traffic controllers and pilots have also been replaced with

Democrats are out of control. It's time to admit they have a problem and seek help. In recent days, several Democratic lawmakers have come under fire for excessive drinking—but not in a fun way. Eric Swalwell, the former congressman and notorious degenerate accused of sexual assault, routinely used campaign funds to pay for alcohol. Swalwell placed more than a hundred orders on Drizly, the now-defunct alcohol delivery app, between 2020 and 2024. His prolific booze purchases accounted for almost 25 percent of Drizly payments by political campaigns, campaign committees, and PACs during that period, according to federal election records.

Virginia's Anti-Gun Senators Want to Take
State's New, Terrible Gun Laws Nationwide

It's easy to look at the gun control laws passed in another state and think, "Well, at least it doesn't impact me." I vehemently oppose what's happened in California over the years, just as I vehemently oppose what's happened in Virginia in 2026, but since it doesn't affect me here in Georgia, it's easy to let it go when the dust settles. The problems really get started when those terrible ideas don't stay put, but are instead pushed onto the rest of the nation. In other words, remember reading about all of those new Virginia gun control laws and how much they suck? Their senators are trying to implement them
Cato Claims Migrants Pay More Taxes than
Average Americans

Posted by ConservativeYankee 4/21/2026 7:15:45 PM Post Reply
The average immigrant pays more in taxes than the average paid by U.S. children, disabled people, retirees, students, and employees, says a cherry-picked report from the Cato Institute. The cherry-picked report is intended to insert a headline into the minds of busy politicians and lazy reporters who are facing competing pressures from pro-migration corporate lobbyists and from pro-prosperity Americans. The April 15 Cato report is headlined: “Immigrants Pay More In Taxes Than the Average Person.” But the key trick in the Cato report is to quietly transfer many migration costs onto Americans. For example, the report celebrates the value of taxes paid by working migrants — but then quietly forces Americans to pay

Failed Democratic vice presidential nominee and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is launching a political committee aimed at rural communities despite massive fraud scandals in his home state and his recent pledge to stand with Minnesota’s Somali community. Walz announced on Monday: Today, we’re launching Small Town PAC. We’re going to show up in small towns, organize in places too many people have given up on, and build power with the folks who call these places home. If Democrats want to win in more places, we’ve got to start showing up in more places.

While the lives of Supreme Court conservatives were in danger, liberal justices dithered — and Justice Brett Kavanaugh almost paid the ultimate price. In the months leading up to the release of the court’s 2022 decision that overturned Roe v. Wade, a leaked majority ruling alerted radicals on the left that the cherished “right” to an abortion was on the verge of disappearing. They would go to any lengths — including murder — to keep that from happening, and the court’s liberals were helping. That scenario is described in a “Alito: The Justice Who Reshaped the Supreme Court and Restored the Constitution,” a book out for release Tuesday by conservative commentator, author,

On Monday morning, leading national press organizations and over 250 has-beens — including Dan Rather and Sam Donaldson — showed their hatred for President Trump and his voters by demanding White House correspondents and other D.C. journalists denounce President Trump to his face at this Saturday’s White House Correspondents Dinner (WHCD). The letter ordered attendees to “forcefully demonstrate opposition to President Trump’s efforts to trample freedom of the press” since allowing Trump to attend — an invitation extended to him by CBS’s Weijia Jiang the White House Correspondents Association (WHCA) board — was “a profound contradiction of [the dinner’s] purpose” to celebrate the D.C. media’s “vital and irreplaceable role”

CNN was unapologetic even after they were found liable for their malicious defamation of Navy veteran Zachary Young last year. And in reporting on FBI Director Kash Patel’s $250 million defamation suit against The Atlantic for their recent reporting about him, on Monday, CNN’s The Situation Room suggested was just him “performing” for President Trump and suggested he should have just ignored the possible defamation because more people have since read it. In giving a rundown of the suit, chief media analyst Brian Stelter rhetorically scoffed at any possibly the suit legitimacy. According to him, Patel was only “performing” for President Trump:

Forget covering protests — some reporters think they should be the ones making the ruckus. A group of over 250 journalists implored members of the Beltway press corps to “forcefully demonstrate opposition” to President Trump at the ritzy White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is distinguishing herself on the U.S. Supreme Court — and not in a positive way. It’s as though she’s positioned on an island defined by woke ideology, racial justice, and equity, while the other eight justices remain on the mainland of restraint. For proper context, it’s important to know about a case that was in front of her and the other members of the court. The case centered on an early morning police stop in Washington, D.C., where a Metropolitan Police officer responded to a call about what was described as a suspicious vehicle. At around 2 a.m., the officer approached the car, and immediately

By almost any analysis, Christianity is the superior religion. Of all, Christianity reigns supreme. Christianity has positively transformed the entire world. Even now, ill-informed leftists don’t realize most of their thoughts on the dignity of the human and individual freedom -- and hundreds more -- are due to Christianity. Thomas Jefferson noted, “Had the doctrines of Jesus been preached always as pure as they came from his lips, the whole civilized world would now have been Christians.” And if one is going to become a Christian it would seem that His Church, the Catholic Church, should be the choice. The other denominations were

PORTLAND, Maine—Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) campaigned Saturday alongside Graham Platner, the left-wing candidate in the Maine Democratic Senate primary who has praised Hamas and until recently sported a tattoo of a Nazi symbol. Warren said Platner "has the values" to serve in the upper chamber and would bring "accountability" to Washington, D.C. Platner "is a man who not only has the values, but a man who believes in accountability, and we need a little accountability coming out of Washington right now," Warren told attendees at a packed Holiday Inn ballroom. "Billionaires don't want to pay taxes, and nobody in Washington will get in that fight. Well, Graham Platner's gonna."

The unidentified student sustained minor injuries in the attack and declined medical treatment at the scene. The damage caused inside the residence hall by the thugs included a smashed monitor at the security desk, ABC6 reported.

The newest Gaza freedom flotilla has come under the spotlight – not because of its stated aim of “breaking the Israeli siege on Gaza” – but because a senior member was accused of sexual misconduct. The scandal began shortly after the flotilla set sail from Barcelona on April 12, when the Palestinian group Heart of Falastin claimed that “a senior member of the flotilla, a member of the steering committee, the highest governing body of the organization, code named B.L. for their protection (not ours), engaged in sexual relations with multiple activists while on the boat heading toward Gaza. Not one person. Not two. Three different individuals.” Heart of Falastin then said,

Washington — Democratic Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick of Florida resigned from Congress on Tuesday, moments before the House Ethics Committee was set to determine whether she should be sanctioned for allegations of theft and other misconduct. Cherfilus-McCormick has been charged with stealing nearly $5 million in Federal Emergency Management Agency funds for her campaign and has pleaded not guilty. She was likely to be expelled from the House in the coming days if she had not resigned. "This was not a fair process," Cherfilus-McCormick said in a statement. "Rather than play these political games, I choose to step away so that I can devote my time to fighting for my neighbors

The Montana Supreme Court struck a blow to biological reality by allowing Montanans who claim to be transgender amend birth certificates and change driver’s licenses to match their self-proclaimed “gender identity.” The state’s high court ruled 5-2 on Tuesday to uphold a lower court’s preliminary injunction of a 2022 policy that mandates Montanans have birth certificates and IDs that match their biological sex. The court ruled that the policy likely goes against the state constitution’s Equal Protection Clause. “Transgender discrimination is, by its very nature, sex discrimination,” the court claimed in its opinion, ultimately rejecting biological reality.

Each month, the I&I/TIPP Poll reports on President Donald Trump’s favorability and approval among voters. But what about Vice President J.D. Vance? I&I/TIPP has numbers for him too, and they make for interesting insights into Vance’s approval by the voting public and his potential as a presidential candidate in 2028. The numbers, as we noted above, come from monthly national online opinion soundings of approximately 1,400 adults, spread across all regions and 36 demographic groups. With over 15 months of data, starting in February of 2025, some clear trends emerge. Overall, it’s a good news, bad news scenario

A great deal of national news coverage concerning Virginia has focused on the attempt by its new Democratic governor, Abigail Spanberger, and her confederates in the General Assembly to circumvent the commonwealth’s constitution in order to radically gerrymander the state’s congressional district map. This maneuver has, however, overshadowed another of their equally dubious legislative actions. A bill proposing that Virginia join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC) passed both houses of the General Assembly in February, and Gov. Spanberger signed it into law on April 13.
