Firm Roy Cooper Lured to North Carolina
With Tax Incentives replies
A Chinese solar company whose wholly owned American subsidiary won millions of dollars in tax incentives from former North Carolina governor Roy Cooper (D.) in 2024 is now seeking a full exit from its U.S. business in what one domestic advocacy group said is the direct result of President Donald Trump’s trade policies.
Cooper, now the Democratic nominee for North Carolina’s open Senate seat, rolled out the welcome mat for Boviet Solar in April 2024, gifting the company’s CEO with a hand-made pot emblazoned with the North Carolina seal during a televised press conference in which he touted a $32.6 million state and local incentive package to help the firm open
That the Japanese will not allow pro-jihad, pro-Sharia elements to take over their country in the name of diversity and political correctness is clearly evident from a wave of viral videos showing large crowds in Fujisawa taking to the streets to oppose a proposed mosque project which is expected to be one of the largest mosques in the area.
At the heart of the strong resistance that thousands of Japanese participating in these demonstrations have shown are multiple practical and socio-cultural implications, including traffic congestion during prayer times and potential noise disturbances. These are all valid concerns, as Muslims across the globe are
Prosecutors Joseph Cooney and Molly Gaston, both of whom served in the Department of Justice (DOJ) under former President Joe Biden, apparently targeted Catholic nuns for attending the “Stop the Steal” rally on January 6, 2021, according to recently released text messages. Text messages shared on Wednesday by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA)—who is investigating Arctic Frost, a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) probe into Republicans and conservatives—reveal that Biden DOJ prosecutors Cooney and Gaston seemingly targeted Catholic nuns attending the “Stop the Steal” rally. Grassley said the texts demonstrated a “total disdain for equal justice” and an apparent willingness to target people based on their religion.
Breitbart News noted that ATF Director Robert Cekada signed a rulemaking package Wednesday afternoon and it contained a “clarifying amendment” that would require would-be gun buyers to select their biological sex on Form 4473.
Form 4473 is the firearm transaction form used when a background check is performed on a gun buyer. Under President Biden, changes were made to allow would-be gun buyers to choose “female,” “male,” or “non-binary.” The amendment in the package signed by Cekada would return the form to requiring would-be gun buyers to select their biological sex.
California’s bullet train can’t catch a break.
The state’s High-Speed Rail Authority board punted a vote Wednesday on its long-awaited business plan — after it was revealed that the project’s cost had ballooned to a staggering $231 billion.
Lawmakers and budget hawks have ripped the Los Angeles-to-San Francisco train project as incomplete, opaque and possibly illegal, with the authority moving to delay a vote until next month. Two days earlier at a tense Senate Transportation Committee, government watchdogs in the Legislative Analyst’s Office warned that the plan doesn’t meet basic legal requirements after new station locations were proposed.
Ian Choudri, CEO of the High-Speed Rail Authority, promised to provide
A grand jury on Wednesday indicted a Louisiana sheriff whose office came under investigation after 10 inmates broke out of a New Orleans jail in an audacious escape that happened on her watch.
Orleans Parish Sheriff Susan Hutson is not accused of helping the inmates pull off the brazen jailbreak through a hole behind a toilet, setting off a monthslong search before all the escapees were eventually captured. Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill said a state probe instead found that Hutson’s poor management of the jail led to the escape.
The 30-count indictment handed up by a New Orleans grand jury charges Hutson with malfeasance, obstruction of justice and falsifying public records.
Most Americans don’t realize this, but their health has been at risk for years. Divisive and discriminatory ideology has crept into health education, under the guise of so-called “diversity, equity, and inclusion.” This politicized worldview has become foundational not only at medical schools, but also at the nursing schools that train my profession. The sudden turn toward indoctrination means that future nurses are spending less time actually studying the essentials of nursing and patient care.
The good news is that this disease is finally being contained and treated. In April, the American Association of Colleges of Nursing quietly abandoned its DEI mandates. That matters because the AACN effectively

A federal judge sentenced a North Carolina woman to prison this week and ordered her to repay over six figures worth of food stamps that she stole from hungry families. Shermeca McCrary, a Wayne County woman, was sentenced to six months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release, and to pay a forfeiture money judgment of $102,000 for her role in a scheme to steal more than $100,000 in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits.
McCrary had one job: decide which state residents were eligible to receive how much in food benefits.
Instead of helping the poor get access to food stamps, she allegedly used her position and privileges as a

A wave of party switching in West Virginia is reshaping the state’s political landscape, with tens of thousands of voters — including more than 16,000 Democrats — registering as Republicans since early 2024, according to new data released by the secretary of state. West Virginia Secretary of State Kris Warner reported that 68,235 voters have changed party affiliation since Jan. 31, 2024, signaling a significant shift ahead of the state’s May 12 primary election.
Among the biggest changes, 16,910 voters switched from Democrat to Republican, while another 20,003 unaffiliated voters also moved to the GOP, according to the data.
At the same time, 12,299 Democrats left their party to become unaffiliated,

A Florida lawmaker yelled into a bullhorn Wednesday on the floor of the Florida House of Representatives to protest new congressional district maps supported by Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
DeSantis unveiled new maps for the state Monday, which would allow the GOP to gain four seats in the United States House of Representatives. Video posted on X Wednesday showed Democratic state Rep.

The Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, rebuked Representative John Garamendi (D-CA) after he, like others, accused the Trump administration of trapping the United States in another forever war in the Middle East.
Hegseth blasted the congressman for making that claim only two months into a conflict where active combat is no longer occurring, and questioned his judgment and loyalties, as Democrats and others continue to fearmonger about U.S. involvement in Iran. [Tweets, videos]
"When I said reckless, feckless, and defeatist of congressional Democrats at the beginning, that came after watching you say the same thing on CNN this morning, a quagmire," Hegseth told Rep. Garamendi.
National Democrats must be stunned. They need to realize they cannot win a redistricting war with us. We knew from the start: Democrats have already gerrymandered their limited enclaves to death. Now, Florida has officially approved a new congressional map that gives the GOP a boost. It passed easily through the state House and Senate, and now it’s heading to DeSantis’ desk for his signature.

DeSantis was fearless. How he brushed off threats from Democrats, like those from Hakeem Jeffries, aka Temu Obama, was legendary.
James Comey thought he got off scot-free when his first indictment for lying to Congress was tossed out by a federal judge on a technicality.
Comey was wrong.
.He is now scheduled to turn himself in after a grand jury indicted him for threatening the President of the United States over a not-so-cryptic meme calling for Trump to be killed, written in seashells.Comey claims he just happened to stumble upon the “artwork” and took a picture of it and posted it to social media. Mind you, President Trump has now had three assassination attempts against his life.
In lighter news, the internet was abuzz during the recent White House visit from King Charles III and Queen Camilla of the United Kingdom. Why? Cameras caught the U.S. president getting a little handsy with his wife, Melania. [Tweet]
Of course, it’s not standard protocol for any president to pat his wife’s behind in the middle of an official state visit, in full view of the media and the world, but remember: This is President Donald Trump. He breaks rules like this, and people often love him or hate him for it, and he seems to relish every minute of it.

We may no longer need to rely on foreign batteries to power our electronics. Geologists have announced that the Appalachian Mountains could be hiding a sprawling multi-billion-dollar cache of lithium that could last the US hundreds of years.
“This research shows that the Appalachians contain enough lithium to help meet the nation’s growing needs,” declared US Geological Survey Director Ned Mamula in a statement.
According to a map by the institution, this East Coast mountain range houses around 2.5 metric tons of this battery precursor, most of which is concentrated in the Carolinas, Maine and New Hampshire. Total value: around $64.4B dollars.
The Federal Reserve is reported to be historically apolitical, meaning all considerations are absent of politics. However, no individual Federal Reserve Chairman has been more overtly political than Jerome Powell.
Today, after announcing yet again the Fed will not lower interest rates, Chairman Jerome Powell announced he will not leave the board of the federal reserve even after his term has expired and he is replaced by recently advanced Kevin Warsh. Powell said he plans to maintain a “low profile” as a governor, but it will be the first time since 1948 that a Federal Reserve Chairman has stayed on the board at the end of their chairmanship.
Woke Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., lashed out at a LindellTV reporter when pressed about massive discrepancies in her congressional financial disclosure forms, which once listed her net worth as high as $30 million before an amended filing reduced it to under $95,000.
In a hallway exchange captured on video, the reporter reminded Omar that she had previously called her “stupid” for asking about the filing and asked how she could make “such a big mistake,” prompting Omar to reply, “I still think you’re stupid for asking me anything.”
When the journalist pressed for an explanation for LindellTV’s audience and “the American people,” Omar snapped, “I don’t want to tell you jack s—t.

California’s Climate Overreach

Even if the most dire climate scenarios are accurate, and humanity must transition away from fossil fuel, it can’t happen overnight. The rational approach is to first develop alternative sources of energy without precipitously destroying the industries that reliably produce oil and natural gas. Once alternatives are available at a competitive price and in sufficient quantities, demand naturally migrates to the alternatives. Meanwhile, the oil and gas industry, recognizing that their core business is to provide energy, actually stays healthy by also investing in the transition.

The Supreme Court appeared ready to give the Trump administration considerable deference in its decision to end Temporary Protected Status for people from various countries, likely spelling doom for lawsuits hoping to block the administration’s purge of TPS designations. The justices heard arguments in the consolidated cases Mullin v. Doe and Trump v. Moit, where they were asked to determine whether federal law bars review of Trump’s decision to rescind TPS for people from Haiti and Syria. While the case involves only President Donald Trump’s efforts to end TPS for two countries, the forthcoming ruling will have sweeping effects for other countries where Trump is attempting to end TPS.
Republicans see a clear win in Wednesday’s Supreme Court decision striking down Louisiana’s congressional maps and that victory could keep them in control of the House after November’s election.
The Supreme Court, in a major decision, struck down Louisiana’s majority-black House district and weakened the Voting Rights Act, giving Republicans a chance to rewrite the congressional maps, particularly in Southern states.
As a result, Republican-led states could eliminate black and Latino electoral districts. And some strategists are arguing it’s time for the party to get aggressive to keep the House in control and protect President Trump’s agenda.
Some black lawmakers are already worried they’ll be a target in this year’s election.
Former Democrat Rep. Barney Frank has entered hospice care.
Barney Frank, 86, is in hospice care at his home in Maine, where he resides with his husband. Frank is suffering from congestive heart failure.
Barney Frank was one of the Democrat Reps who authored the Dodd-Frank bill, which was put in place after the 2008 bank crash.
The government arguably caused the failure and then turned around and put in a massive amount of regulations in response to the failure. The Dodd-Frank bill put enormous strain on smaller banks, and eventually, some of the regulations were rolled back.
Ironically, Barney Frank sat on the board of Signature Bank,
Republicans took a bold stand against the radical left’s sacred cow: the so-called Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act. The hearing exposed how the Biden DOJ weaponized this law as a club to smash pro-life Americans while turning a blind eye to violent attacks on pregnancy resource centers and churches.
Freshman Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) delivered one of the most uncomfortable moments for the abortion lobby in recent memory.
Gill directly confronted Jessica Waters, Assistant Professor of Justice, Law & Criminology and a vocal advocate for abortion access, asking which BARBARIC abortion method she preferred.
In the wake of the latest attempt by garbage leftist idiots to murder President Donald Trump, prominent leftists are deflecting, descending into nearly psychotic redirection, or trying to shift the blame to Trump himself, even after promising to wage war on the president and joking about watching his wife become a widow. Impotent, mindless, and based in fantasy, leftist culture is a violent and childish culture, sowing ruin but pretending innocence. The Law of Merited Impossibility is undefeated as a concept: We absolutely didn’t try to kill you, and you deserve our efforts to kill you. The old Babylon Bee joke headline still lands: “Trump Indicted For Inciting Assassination Attempt.”

Two people have been indicted on federal charges related to the attack on TPUSA reporter Savanah Hernandez.
TPUSA reporter Savanah Hernandez was brutally assaulted earlier this month at the Whipple ICE facility in Minneapolis.
“I am extremely grateful to the DOJ and FBI for how swiftly they handled this case. I have been assaulted by violent left wing activists multiple times and there has never been a response, so to see the FBI and the justice system utilized to fight back against left wing violence is extremely appreciated,” Savanah Hernandez said in a statement to The Gateway Pundit.
Former Rep. Barney Frank, a liberal icon who was a key architect of the landmark Wall Street regulations Democrats enacted in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, has entered hospice care at his home in Maine. And as one of his last acts, he is preparing to release a book repudiating his party’s left flank. A champion of liberal causes during his 32 years representing Massachusetts in the House, Frank says progressive Democrats have “embraced an agenda that goes beyond what’s politically acceptable.” “Until we separate ourselves from that agenda, we don’t win,” he said in an interview Tuesday.
Since the Virginia General Assembly approved a revised version of the bill last week, there's been a whole lot of confusion about Virginia's HB 1525, which raises the age to purchase handguns from 18 to 21 and requires the Virginia State Police to resume conducting background checks on private sales. Governor Abigail Spanberger's amended version contained language that declared the act an emergency, which would allow it to take effect immediately, but the legislature did not approve the changes with a 4/5ths vote, which is supposedly what's required in order for that "emergency" provision to be adopted.
In a skit last Thursday, ABC’s late-night host Jimmy Kimmel pretended to be the host of the White House Correspondents’ Dinner and remarked of Melania Trump, “You have a glow like an expectant widow.” Given that President Trump had already survived two assassination attempts, it was tasteless even at the time. But the remark aged even more poorly when a third aspiring assassin crashed the actual event days later.In a rare statement, the understandably shaken first lady condemned Kimmel, saying, “His monologue about my family isn’t comedy — his words are corrosive and deepens the political sickness within America.”
[Former head of Human Rights Watch Kenneth] Roth and his chorus, including morally blind academics claiming legal expertise, promote an imaginary "rules-based international order" that paralyzes democracies while protecting despotic dictators.
Under their absurd version of international law, preventive and preemptive strikes – like those carried out by the US and Israel – would be prohibited except against what they refer to as immediate, obvious, and universally acknowledged threats. In this form of unilateral disarmament reminiscent of European pacifists of the 1920s and 1930s, nothing can be done to restrain the world's malicious dictators and warmongering aggressors before they begin mass slaughter.

Disgraced former FBI Director James Comey will "self-surrender" today after a federal grand jury indicted him for allegedly threatening President Trump with an Instagram post. Comey is expected to turn himself in to authorities in northern Virginia, where he’ll be booked and make his first court appearance.
(Snip) Allow me to interject for a moment — if they end up taking his mugshot, fingerprinting him, or maybe giving him a little perp walk around the facilities, then Lordy, I hope there are tapes. That said, allowing the man to "self-surrender" is a level of decorum amongst law enforcement that was never afforded to people like, say, a Roger Stone.
The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday struck down Louisiana's congressional map in Louisiana v. Callais, finding that the state's second majority-Black district violated the Equal Protection Clause.In the 6-3 decision, Justice Samuel Alito wrote the majority opinion, joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett. The court held that the Voting Rights Act did not require Louisiana to draw a second majority-minority district. Without that requirement, the state had no compelling reason to use race in drawing its lines. SB8, enacted in 2024, created a District 6 stretching roughly 250 miles from Shreveport through Alexandria and Lafayette to Baton Rouge.
The Supreme Court’s liberal justices called their colleagues’ decision clawing back race-based redistricting on Wednesday a “now-completed demolition” of the Voting Rights Act.
In a 48-page dissent, Justice Elena Kagan held up the landmark 1965 law as helpful to the nation’s progress on racial discrimination.
“At this last stage, the Court’s gutting of Section 2 puts that achievement in peril,” Kagan wrote.
“I dissent because Congress elected otherwise,” she continued. “I dissent because the Court betrays its duty to faithfully implement the great statute Congress wrote. I dissent because the Court’s decision will set back the foundational right Congress granted of racial equality in electoral opportunity. I dissent.”
Earlier, RedState reported on how GOP Rep. Brandon Gill (TX-26) masterfully confronted an abortion advocate Tuesday during a House hearing on the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act by not only asking her what her favorite abortion procedure was but also describing them in gruesome detail so others watching and listening to the hearing would understand exactly what was being discussed.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court will weigh arguments Wednesday over the Trump administration’s push to end legal protections for Haitians and Syrians as migrants fleeing war and natural disaster.
Haitians and Syrians were among those from 17 countries with Temporary Protected Status, which allows migrants already in the U.S. to stay with work permits in 18-month increments, so long as the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security deems their country of origin unsafe for return. Since President Donald Trump ’s second term began, Homeland Security has ended the protections for 13 countries, exposing their migrants to potential deportation.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday limited the scope of a key Voting Rights Act provision that restricts how states draw districts affecting minority voters, constraining states' use of race as a factor when drawing congressional maps ahead of the 2026 midterms. Justices for the 6-3 majority ruled that Louisiana's newly redrawn congressional map, which created a second majority-Black district, constituted an "illegal" racial gerrymander. Though the justices acknowledged that compliance with the Voting Rights Act can be a compelling interest for states, they ruled that it did not require Louisiana to create the new map with a second, majority Black district.
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Wednesday further weakened the Voting Rights Act, ruling that a congressional map in Louisiana was a racial gerrymander even though it was drawn to comply with the landmark law aimed at protecting minority voters. The justices, split 6-3 with the court's conservatives in the majority, told states they can almost never consider race when drawing maps to comply with Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which was enacted to protect minority voters who long faced discrimination in elections.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday sided with a pro-life pregnancy resource center that had raised First Amendment concerns about a New Jersey investigation into its practices.
The Court handed First Choice Women’s Resource Centers a unanimous procedural victory in the case, which centers on a state investigation into whether it misled patients to discourage abortions. The ruling allows First Choice to challenge, in federal court, a subpoena it received from then-New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin (D) demanding donor lists and other information from the center.
For more than three decades, it’s been almost invariably accepted in policymaking circles that fossil fuel use has to be reduced and then eliminated altogether if we are to save the planet.
