The head of a Texas Islamic group that rented out a taxpayer-funded waterpark for an event that was advertised as “Muslim only” runs a childhood education center with the exact same unfortunate ‘Learing Center’ typo first seen at an infamous daycare in Minneapolis. The “Excellence Early Learing Center,” as its misspelled website header reads — located in the Fort Worth suburb of Hurst — offers a variety of programs for youngsters from infants to pre-K, and promises to provide children with “the loving, personal care that they need to thrive and feel confident.”
The center boasts “multiculturalism, small classroom sizes, healthy eating and a warm, loving environment that

The Deputy District Director of an Illinois United States congressman has been indicted on federal fraud charges for allegedly fraudulently obtaining more than $31,000 in unemployment insurance benefits during the COVID pandemic. Gerard C. Moorer, 42, of Chicago, engaged in fraud related to the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance program, one of the sources of relief under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, according to an indictment returned today in U.S. District Court in Chicago.
The indictment alleges that in May 2020, Moorer filed a fraudulent application for PUA benefits in which he claimed to have met COVID-related reasons for being unemployed, partially unemployed, unable to work, or unavailable to work.
Just weeks before Memorial Day and amid the United States’ 250th anniversary year, a city council member in Lynnwood, Washington, launched into a tirade against the American flag, declaring that the Pride flag is far more relatable to her and suggesting the 27 US flags at Wilcox Park should be replaced. According to the Lynnwood Times, Councilwoman Isabel Mata made the remarks during the May 4 City Council meeting while discussing the city’s flag display policies. “To me, a pride flag is way more relatable than an American flag. I would not raise an American flag at my house because I just, I wouldn't. I wasn't even born here.
NBC’s Today debased itself on Wednesday by sending former First Daughter and fourth-hour co-host Jenna Bush Hager to interview former President Barack Obama for a syrupy sit-down about the opening of his Obama Presidential Center next month.
The whole segment was as wishy-washy as Obama’s biography and omitted the pesky facts about the hefty admission costs, budget overruns, laying waste to the community’s landscape, a lack of compliance with the norm of past presidential record-keeping, and years of delays.
Unsurprisingly, there were a whopping four teases for this interview, starting off the top with co-host Savannah Guthrie stating they’d reveal “what he hopes it will inspire for generations to come”
The White House has published the official 2026 Counterterrorism Strategy with a foreword by President Trump. [SEE HERE]
Within the outline the White House breaks down the threats and strategies for each region. It is well worth reviewing the entire document which is written in plain language that avoids any misinterpretations. (pdf image)Regionally, the White House outlines specific threats and policies. Given the current situation with drug and human trafficking cartels as well as regional conflict in the Middle East and vulnerabilities in Europe, each of these points of material interest should be highlighted (emphasis mine).
In recent developments President Trump’s ‘project freedom’ operation to open the Strait of Hormuz for captured shipping interests has been paused following Saudi Arabia’s withdrawal of support and their revocation of Saudi air bases for U.S. operations.
The issue behind the Saudi decision is not that complicated if you understand the longer-term background. However, the issue behind the Saudi decision also highlights a key ¹flaw in the Promethean analysis of the relationship (and the reason I caution everyone to sip slowly from this information source).The cliff notes version is that Saudi Arabia and many of the Gulf States look at the negotiations between President Trump and Iranian interests with skepticism.

One of my older sisters once told me that “hate” is a strong word; only say it when it's necessary. Unfortunately, similar to words like “awesome,” “literally,” and “Nazi,” they've been overused to the point where those words lose their strength.

For me, now, the situation demands it.

attacks on destroyers in Strait of Hormuz: Centcom replies
U.S. forces on Thursday attacked Iranian military facilities following attacks on American guided-missile destroyers transiting the Strait of Hormuz, according to U.S. Central Command (Centcom).
President Trump called the strikes a “love tap” in a phone call with ABC News on Thursday evening. Asked if it means the ceasefire is over, he said, “No, no, the ceasefire is going. It’s in effect.”
Trump also said later Thursday in a post on Truth Social that the U.S. will “knock [Iran] out a lot harder, and a lot more violently, in the future, if they don’t get their Deal signed, FAST!”
WASHINGTON — President Trump’s “Project Freedom” to reopen the Strait of Hormuz could be back on in days after a previously secret spat with Gulf allies which halted the military operation was resolved.
Saudi Arabia and Kuwait have quietly reopened their bases and airspace to the US military, which could restart the currently paused “Project Freedom” mission to protect ships from Iranian attacks, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The Gulf countries had previously balked at letting the US use their territory for “Project Freedom,” which Trump called off on Tuesday less than 48 hours after it took effect, citing a request from Pakistan and “other countries.”
A key architect of California’s controversial billionaire tax acknowledged this week that the proposed one-time levy may end up becoming permanent. Economics professor Emmanuel Saez made the admission during a Tuesday debate against Arthur Laffer, the father of trickle-down economics, at the University of California, Berkeley. The billionaires tax — proposed by the Service Employees International Union–United Healthcare Workers West — would impose a one-time 5% levy on California residents with assets exceeding $1 billion. Supporters say the tax is needed to address healthcare funding gaps tied to cuts to Medicaid and other federal programs implemented last year. The proposal
CBS’s 60 Minutes was once the gold standard for TV network investigative reporting. Of course, that was back when NBC’s Saturday Night Live was actually a comedy show in the 1980s, and it even made people laugh. Since then, both shows have survived mostly by reputation. Some people continue to tune in, looking for a spark of that long-lost magic these shows once had.
In the case of 60 Minutes, it tends to try to do biased investigative work during Republican administrations, and it takes four or eight years off if a Democrat is in the White House. When Republicans are in exile, the program becomes less an investigative operation
Tennessee State Rep. Justin Pearson is known for his disingenuously performative political stunts. He took it too far again on Thursday, screaming in the face of state troopers — completely unprovoked — because his state’s redistricting special session didn’t turn out the way he had hoped. To quote Pearson: “Move the f*** back! Boy! The f*** is wrong with you? You stupid motherf*****!” The theater kid played the tough guy in front of the cameras, but instead of signaling that he won’t go down without a fight, he looked like a sore loser who disrespects the people there to protect him from political violence.
For many Americans, inflation has become less an issue debated on Capitol Hill than something felt each weekend at the grocery store. One of the most vivid examples of this was seen in the price of eggs.
At one point, Americans were paying over $6 a dozen for a basic staple that used to be one of the cheapest items in the store. Families weren’t buying luxury goods. They were just trying to make breakfast. And they were getting fleeced.
Now, the Justice Department is preparing an antitrust lawsuit against major egg producers for allegedly coordinating prices through an industry data-sharing system.
The Deep State leaked a CIA Iran war dossier to the Washington Post that refutes Trump’s claims that the Iranian Regime’s missiles are mostly decimated.

Trump told the reporter that the US military has decimated Iran’s missile capabilities and they probably only have about 18 percent left.

Ending Gerrymandering
replies
In the debate over redistricting, one truth is too often buried beneath legal jargon and partisan maneuvering: Gerrymandering is, at its core, about voter dilution. It is the quiet engineering of political outcomes, line by line, until communities that should speak with strength are instead reduced to whispers. For decades, one of the most consequential tactics has been "cracking," splitting cohesive communities, often made up of Black voters, across multiple districts so they become a minority everywhere and a majority nowhere. The impact is profound. A population large enough to influence elections can be deliberately dispersed just enough to ensure it never fully does.
We the people of Colorado no longer control our own state constitution. I found this out the hard way. In Colorado, a government for, by, and of the people is a fib. ‘Right to Know’ denied. Over a year-and-a-half of work we crafted a constitutional reform based on what many other states already have, called “Right to Know.” It’s simple: a fundamental right for the people to access public records and government deliberations, with reasonable exceptions. But you won’t see this proposed amendment on your fall ballot. The state Title Board voted 2–1 to block it.
Tuesday, May 5, 2026 - Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman has sent a handwritten letter to the federal court for the Eastern District of New York requesting to be extradited to Mexico to face charges in his home country, in a move that legal experts consider almost unlikely to succeed.
The document, dated April 23 and formally received by the court on May 1, was processed through the Pro Se office of the Brooklyn court, confirming that the drug trafficker acted on his own, without the support or signature of his defense attorneys.
The letter, written in grammatically incorrect English, appeals to concepts of "equity" and argues

First, a little background… As you know, we are in the middle of a redistricting battle before this year’s midterm election. Although our Northeast states vote Republican in the 40 percent range, because those states are run by Democrats, there are almost zero Republican House seats because Democrats rig those states by gerrymandering their congressional districts in a way that ensures those 40 percent receive no representation whatsoever. In other words, it’s rigged. This gives Democrats an unfair advantage in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Earlier this week, we editorialized about the Great Green Grift of the climate hustlers who line their own pockets as well as those of their co-conspirators. Today we dig into the science, which has been repeatedly abused, often abandoned and artfully prostituted to support the global warming racket.

Google’s artificial intelligence says it’s “widely regarded as the world’s leading authority on climate science, providing essential, peer-reviewed assessments that inform international policy.”

High government borrowing raises the economic risk that interest costs will crowd out investment for everyone and make our system more vulnerable to shocks. The political risk is that it limits policy flexibility and fuels conflict over taxes, spending, and long-term obligations.

Not A War Of Choice

Despite the wailing and gnashing of teeth from the Democrat-media complex, the war with Iran is not a war of choice in any practical sense. If anything, the current operations represent the end of the great pretending, since Iran has long been at war with us, keeping their attacks just low enough in intensity or with just enough plausible deniability to allow for the continuance of that pretending.
Iran is the single most committed and least deterrable enemy of the United States, and was developing ever more lethal means to inflict grave harm.

LOS ANGELES -- A fiery debate was held on Wednesday between incumbent Karen Bass and two of her primary challengers in the race for Los Angeles mayor.
The candidates sparred over how to handle wildfires, homelessness and the dwindling Hollywood film industry. The debate comes with just one month until the mayoral primary election.
There is an unlikely alliance in an ugly race for L.A. mayor. Former reality star Spencer Pratt and current Mayor Bass were hardly in agreement on Wednesday night, but coordinated or not, the opponents led a two-on-one tag-team attack against progressive L.A. city councilmember Nithya Raman.
