Absent 83-Year-Old Democrat Frederica
Wilson Announces Retirement From House
Posted By: ConservativeYankee, 5/29/2026 3:02:14 PM
Democratic Florida Rep. Frederica Wilson announced her retirement from Congress on Friday following several weeks of absence from Capitol Hill. Wilson previously committed to running for reelection despite missing several consecutive votes while she recovered from eye surgery. After consistently missing House votes and committee hearings, Wilson told the Miami Herald it was time for her to retire. “I think it’s time, and I think I really held on as long as I did because of the 5000 Role Models program, and my concern about the future of it,” Wilson told the outlet. Wilson previously maintained that she would run for reelection, though she confirmed to local allies on Saturday that

President Trump’s top Wall Street cop moved Friday to kill a sweeping Biden-era climate rule that would force US firms to report on global warming risks and their own greenhouse gas emissions.
Paul Atkins, the chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, blasted the climate change disclosure regulation as growth-strangling red tape that “exceeded our authority.” “We need to stick to our knitting. Let the Environmental Protection Agency do their job and we stick to our job,” he said in an interview with Fox Business, casting the move as part of President Trump’s deregulation agenda that he vowed would “make IPOs great again.”
Following an O’Keefe Media Group undercover report, Sean Hudson, the Director of Community Relations for the Washington Nationals in Washington, DC, has been let go. Hudson had initially been placed on leave in the aftermath of the video.
Sources told The Athletic on Friday, three days after the undercover video was released, that he had been let go. In the video, Hudson was heard admitting to discriminating against starting pitcher Trevor Williams due to his Catholic beliefs and the digital surveillance of fans who visit the stadium.
Hudson said regarding Williams, "The Dodgers had a group out to the stadium who were drag queens who sometimes dressed up as nuns.
A federal judge said Friday that President Donald Trump can't close or rename the Kennedy Center, ruling that it cannot be officially named for anyone else unless Congress approves it.
U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper ruled that the rebranding of the Kennedy Center as the "Trump Kennedy Center" violates the law, and ordered that Trump’s name be removed from the building within two weeks of his order.
Pro-Trump Colombian presidential candidate Abelardo de la Espriella has promised build 10 new mega-prisons as left-wing President Gustavo Petro prepares to leave office.
De la Espriella is a lawyer and businessman who is seeking to become Colombia’s next president as the county holds its presidential election Sunday. Despite no previous political experience, he is rising in the polls to second behind Iván Cepeda, a leftist Colombian activist, according to Reuters.
The upstart lawyer has promised to crack down on drug trafficking, crime, and illegal armed groups. In his attempt to make Columbia safer he has pledged to create 10 new mega-prisons, the outlet reported.
“In my government, there will be no peace processes.
U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins on Thursday launched the Great American Cotton Plan, a new USDA initiative aimed at strengthening American cotton farmers, expanding domestic manufacturing, and increasing exports.
The plan was unveiled alongside Small Business Administration Administrator Kelly and Rep. Juan Ciscomani during an event with local farmers. It promotes natural American-grown fibers over synthetic alternatives as part of broader efforts to “Make America Healthy Again.” Rollins stressed the campaign’s focus is on “real products made by real American farmers.” The initiative addresses challenges facing the U.S. cotton sector, including a loss of global export leadership. Under the previous administration, the U.S. lost its position
A Texas man was arrested Thursday for allegedly making death and bombing threats toward Turning Point USA CEO Erika Kirk and her organization at an upcoming summit in San Antonio.
26-year-old Jacob Wenske is charged with two third-degree felony counts of making a terroristic threat involving public fear of serious bodily injury or public disruption, Fox News reported.
Court documents alleged that Wenske replied to a Facebook post in April about the summit that he knows "where to bomb," and he said in another comment that he "can't wait to be the valet for [Kirk's] escort," according to KSAT.
Several musical artists scheduled to perform at the Great American State Fair in honor of America’s 250th birthday have withdrawn from the event after SPIN magazine highlighted President Donald Trump’s connection to the fair.
The Great American State Fair will showcase all 50 states, as well as the District of Columbia and U.S. territories. It is slated to run on the National Mall from June 25 through July 10.
On Wednesday, Freedom 250, a new private-public partnership helping organize and coordinate America 250 events, announced a lineup of artists booked to perform at the fair. The list included well-known acts such as Martina McBride, Vanilla Ice, Bret Michaels, Flo Rida,

Border Patrol agents and Texas Highway Patrol troopers worked together to capture two groups of illegal aliens attempting to escape from authorities and secure entry into the United States. In all, a total of 19 illegal aliens were captured near Eagle Pass, Texas, including six Chinese nationals, considered by DHS to be Special Interest Aliens (SIAs).
In stark contrast to the thousands of daily illegal border crossings near the small Texas border town during the Biden administration, new border security policies under the Trump administration have deterred most illegal aliens from attempting the crossing. Despite the stronger border security measures that ended the practice of “catch and release” at the border,
Democrats are shaking their heads in disbelief at the timing of Jill Biden’s memoir and her change in tone about Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance.
The party would rather talk about the high cost of living and increased gas prices under President Trump, Democrats told The Post, rather than relive the debate around Joe Biden’s cognitive health.
“We need this as much as we need a hole in the head,” Jim Manley, a Democratic strategist who worked in the Senate for years, said. Jill Biden’s confessional about her concerns over the former president’s health is dropping as the party fights to win control of Congress in November.
DOJ Sues 4 Leftist States Over Hypocritical

Undercover License Plate Policies That

Here’s some typical, hypocritical blue state behavior for you — four states refuse to issue undercover license plates to federal law enforcement. Why? Because their administrations are full of bitter leftists who kneecap efforts by the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to deal with the illegal immigration problem. Making it even worse? They do issue the plates for state and local law enforcement.
Now the Justice Department is suing the four defiant states, and it’s an extreme Left bunch: Maine, Massachusetts, Oregon, and Washington. The DOJ says what they’re doing is unconstitutional:
On Memorial Day, Minnesota Democrat officials, including Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, dumped the troops and headed to the eyesore known as ‘George Floyd Square’, an epicenter of the BLM riots, to groove along with the ‘Brass Resistance Band’ and a DJ in honor of the fallen violent criminal who had died of a drug overdose while resisting arrest.
“Today, we remember George Floyd,” Mayor Frey tweeted. “The weight of what happened is still with our city six years later – and the responsibility to keep moving forward together is too. I know we can keep building a Minneapolis that is safer, more accountable, and more worthy

The June 2024 presidential debate between then-President Joe Biden (D) and then-GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump was inarguably one of the most consequential events in American political history, largely because it proved to the American people beyond a shadow of a doubt that the occupant of the Oval Office was unwell. As we all know, it led to Biden withdrawing from the presidential race three weeks later after essentially being forced out by his fellow Democrats. It was a reckoning of sorts for the Democrat Party, the Biden-Harris administration, and the mainstream media, all of whom played starring roles in the deliberate years-long cover-up of Biden's decline,
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is gaining a reputation for penning nonsensical solo dissents in what should otherwise be unanimous Supreme Court decisions. And it’s becoming increasingly clear that her colleagues are no longer shy about putting such incoherence in its place. The latest incident came on Thursday in the Supreme Court’s Fernandez v. United States decision, in which the 8-1 majority held that “the supposed invalidity” of a prisoner’s conviction “is not among the ‘extraordinary and compelling reasons’ that justify compassionate release.” (Compassionate release is a process by which convicted individuals may seek a reduced sentence or early release due
Mamdani Begins to Implement Communism

The Communist Twelver Shi’ite mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, made a major announcement on Tuesday: he is beginning to implement the Marxist seizure of property in New York City.
He did not, of course, state that in so many words. As Marxists always do, he couched his plans in the language of social justice, claiming that he was striking out against bad landlords and providing an opportunity for all New Yorkers to live in decent, fairly-priced housing. And as is always the case with Marxist promises, Mamdani’s big announcement was an obvious and flagrant lie to cover up for his seizure of private property, not so much
Spoiler alert: Naaah. But it's certainly fun to fantasize.
Yes, John Cornyn may have been a slightly safer bet than Ken Paxton in a general election. Given the relative difference between how the two would have voted over the next six years, the gain from nominating Paxton probably doesn't justify the assumed risk of dethroning the incumbent Cornyn. It might take more money to fight for the seat in the general election, but that assumes that Democrats would have left Texas alone had Cornyn eked out a win over Paxton.
In the end, though, Texas is Texas,

Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is leading in new polling on a hypothetical Democratic presidential primary as the party seeks a new path after 2024 losses. An Emerson College Polling survey released Thursday found Buttigieg at the top of the pack with 18 percent support, followed by California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) at 16 percent. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) notched 11 percent support, while Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) and former Vice President Kamala Harris — the party’s 2024 nominee — earned 10 percent each. Another 9 percent of survey respondents backed Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D), and 18 percent

Healthcare to Migrants as Budgets Spin

A host of deep blue states are quietly pulling back from their generous programs of “free” healthcare to migrants as federal dollars dry up and their budgets continue to spiral into the red. With the Trump administration beginning to close the spigot of billions in federal aid that many states lavishly spent caring for illegal migrants, sates including California, Colorado, Illinois, New York, Oregon Washington, and the District of Columbia are finding that they cannot afford to replace the chocked off federal dollars with their own state budget dollars. This reality setting in has caused state officials to begin scaling back their freebies —

CBS News Editor-in-Chief continues draining the woke swamp at the long-compromised Sunday news program, 60 Minutes.
The Gateway Pundit has documented for years how ’60 Minutes’ repeatedly targeted conservatives and President Trump with one-sided hit pieces while giving Democrats and their allies soft-glove treatment.
The show’s credibility collapsed further after the disastrous Kamala Harris interview that triggered a major lawsuit and exposed its activist bent.
Bari Weiss, who famously walked away from The New York Times over its radical leftward lurch and cancel culture, is now applying the same standards at CBS.

There’s a growing scandal in Georgia. Seems a woman federal court judge has been reprimanded for having sex in the courtroom chambers with a male police officer. The sex was duly accompanied by loud, um, sex noises within easy hearing distance of the judge’s staff.
This happened over and over. And over again. For years.
One of the judge’s discomfited clerks reported the matter, and the appellate court conducted an investigation. The judge outright lied to the appellate court investigators, and attacked the clerk who had filed the report.
Two Minnesota fraudsters allegedly swindled more than $21 million in funding earmarked for autism services through two bogus companies and then spent it lavishly on overseas property, officials said.
Shamso Ahmed Hassan, 55, and Hanaan Mursal Yusuf, 25, whose mugshots were released on Wednesday, made off like bandits by submitting millions of dollars in fake claims to Minnesota’s Early Intensive Development and Behavioral Intervention Program [EIDBI] between May 2020 and December 2024, authorities said.
The pair enrolled two companies co-owned by Hassan — Smart Therapy Center LLC and Star Autism Center LLC —
There is a bizarre controversy out of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, where a federal judge has been reprimanded for engaging in repeated, loud sexual encounters during office hours in chambers with a police officer. (snip) Ironically, among the clues about the judge’s identity, the order mentions that the judge attended the “victory party for a District Attorney” in 2024, the night before “the judge’s summer interns’ first day.” The Georgia primary was on May 21, 2024, and the date coincides with the victory party for Fani Willis,
