The Department of Justice has ended its criminal investigation of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.
Jeanine Pirro, the top federal prosecutor in the District of Columbia, said in an April 24 post on X that she has directed her office to close its investigation.
“This morning the Inspector General for the Federal Reserve has been asked to scrutinize the building costs overruns – in the billions of dollars – that have been borne by taxpayers,” Pirro said.

Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, the frontrunner in the 2026 governor’s race, has both personal and institutional ties to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). The far-left organization announced in a video statement Tuesday that it is the subject of a U.S. Department of Justice criminal investigation that centers on its use of informants who infiltrate extremist groups.
Interim President and CEO Bryan Fair acknowledged, “The focus appears to be on the SPLC’s prior use of paid confidential informants to gather credible intelligence on extremely violent groups,” adding that the program was kept quiet to protect informant safety.

Following direct remarks from both Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, a triggered Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says the U.S. will not be permitted to dictate terms of the USMCA renegotiation, now scheduled for formal talks with Mexico only beginning May 25th.According to the Canadian leadership they do not need the United States in order to maintain their economy. The unfortunate people of Canada are very close to finding out exactly what that level of arrogance delivers.

Smoke has filled the air across parts of the Peach State this week as wildfires continue to burn out of control in southern Georgia, forcing evacuations and destroying homes.
According to the Georgia Forestry Commission, crews responded to 34 new wildfires Wednesday that burned about 75 acres statewide. But officials say the biggest concern remains two large, active fires that have already scorched tens of thousands of acres.
The Pineland Road Fire in Clinch County has grown to nearly 29,606 acres and is about 10% contained. In Brantley County, the Highway 82 Fire has burned more than 4,400 acres and is roughly 15% contained, according to the latest update.

President Donald Trump on Thursday instructed the U.S. Navy to shoot small boats dropping mines in the Strait of Hormuz.
(snip)“I have ordered the United States Navy to shoot and kill any boat, small boats though they may be (Their naval ships are ALL, 159 of them, at the bottom of the sea!), that is putting mines in the waters of the Strait of Hormuz. There is to be no hesitation,” he wrote.
“Additionally, our mine ‘sweepers’ are clearing the Strait right now. I am hereby ordering that activity to continue, but at a tripled up level!

President Trump called out two members of the establishment, one a so-called Republican and the other a Democrat. His first target was Chief Justice Roberts, who is either unwilling or unable to stop leakers inside the Supreme Court from wreaking havoc. They are leaking sensitive information to the press and creating chaos.
Everyone remembers what happened before the Roe v. Wade ruling, when a major leak triggered outrage just ahead of the midterms and helped energize an otherwise bored and disinterested Democratic base.Ironically, they never found that leaker, and now it appears others inside the Court are working to stir up even more division.

When news broke in 2025 that the Biden-era FBI spied on eight Republican senators’ personal cell phone information, all hell should have broken loose. Instead, in classic corporate media fashion, the bombshell dubbed “100 times worse than Watergate” by Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., was subject to a blackout by the biggest publications.
As new records released by U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley on Tuesday reveal, it was not an “isolated incident” that could be swept under the rug forever. “Arctic Frost” was the culmination of years of political weaponization against President Donald Trump, his allies, and his voters.

A generally good big-picture overview here from the folks at Promethean PAC.
“In this midweek update, Susan Kokinda argues that Kevin Warsh’s Senate Banking Committee testimony—calling for “regime change” at the Federal Reserve and blaming inflation on excessive money creation—signals a broader shift aligned with the Trump administration against what she describes as an Imperial, British-led free-trade order.
Kokinda highlights Warsh’s criticism of post-2008 quantitative easing as benefiting financial asset holders while many Americans own no assets, and contrasts this with Democrats’ focus on divestment issues. Kokinda ties Warsh’s stance to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s emphasis on raising living standards over bailing out markets and to Trump’s comments on Fed independence.

The New York Times thought it was writing a horror story. What it actually wrote was a gloriously nervous admission that Team Trump is done playing footsie with Europe’s stale, old, out-of-date, self-important establishment elites.(snip)That’s why the New York Times is in panic mode. The freak-out is because Team Trump isn’t just changing policy, but it’s doing it with younger voices who aren’t at all impressed or intimidated by old political taboos, guilt rituals, or dusty diplomatic niceties. And that’s where Sarah Rogers comes in.You might remember Sarah Rogers from her fight to help Douglass Mackey, who was convicted on election conspiracy charges for sharing an anti-Hillary meme.

For about the past ten years, the left has been running the same tired little hustle on repeat: men are toxic, masculinity is dangerous, boys are broken, and women are the noble, enlightened victims forced to endure all of it. Every cultural message they pump out points in the same exact direction. Blame men, lecture them, and shame them. Make sure they know they’re the problem, then act shocked when they stop showing up.And now, are we supposed to be surprised that young Gen Z men are looking elsewhere?
It turns out the modern “girl power” movement isn’t fun, uplifting, flirty, or even all that confident. It’s angry, bitter, and joyless.

Prior to 2018 any public mention of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) would be cause for you to immediately lose your security clearance in government. However, by mid-2018 DC officials were not only openly discussing FISA in public settings, but the DOJ released a Top-Secret Compartmented Intelligence Title-1 FISA warrant.
Why was a TSCI Title-1 FISA warrant made public in 2018?
The Carter Page FISA application and subsequent warrant would have been the easiest document to keep hidden from the public. You cannot FOIA classified documents. However, someone in the DOJ released their exclusive national security equity. I am certain it was Andrew Weissmann who made the call.
