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Several musical artists scheduled to perform at the Great American State Fair in honor of America’s 250th birthday have withdrawn from the event after SPIN magazine highlighted President Donald Trump’s connection to the fair.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,
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
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.

Undercover License Plate Policies That
Kneecap the Feds 6 replies
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 Justice Department's U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois's office denied reports Thursday that it had opened a perjury investigation into E. Jean Carroll, who accused President Donald Trump of sexual assault.
Multiple outlets reported Wednesday the department opened an investigation into whether Carroll committed perjury in civil lawsuits against the president.
The alleged investigation focused on her 2022 deposition, in which she reportedly claimed that she received no outside funding for her lawsuit, but it was later revealed that billionaire Reid Hoffman paid some legal fees and expenses. “In light of widespread reporting and intense media and public interest in the E. Jean Carroll matter in New York, the

Republican candidate for Georgia's 11th congressional district who has recently painted himself as a “pro-Trump” conservative has advanced to a runoff election to become the party’s nominee.
However, the candidate, Dr. John Cowan, a neurosurgeon, has previously denounced President Donald Trump, criticized him and his influence over the party repeatedly and donated to one of the president's most prominent Republican critics, the candidate's apparent social media posts and public interviews show.
Just the News previously reported that Cowan, who is running to replace the retiring Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., who led an investigation of the House Jan. 6 Committee, ironically has an apparent social media history

WASHINGTON — The Trump White House’s budget office is tightening a rule for the distribution of up to $1 trillion in federal grant-making authority, ensuring taxpayer dollars are better protected from use by non-citizens and speeding up the process by which wasteful spending can be canceled.
The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) will propose the fixes to address “significant flaws” in the grants, at least 190,000 of which date from former President Joe Biden’s final year in office, officials told The Post Thursday.
One official said that the expected changes will have the greatest effect on the Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees roughly $85 billion

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
19 replies
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.
Here Come da Judge!

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,
