Anything As Midterms Loom
Posted By: ConservativeYankee, 5/31/2026 9:12:14 PM
Republicans are running out of time to pass President Donald Trump’s agenda and tackle the affordability crisis as the midterm elections inch closer. With the midterms looming, Republicans have struggled to pass several policy agendas, including funding immigration enforcement, addressing affordability and adding voter identification requirements. Republicans are on a time crunch to address the hot-button issues for voters, including the economy and immigration, before they cast their ballots in November. The Senate has 53 days in session before November, while the House has about 40. A second reconciliation package aimed at funding immigration enforcement will not reach Trump’s desk by his June 1 deadline, leaving Senate Republicans scrambling to pass the package

Senator Bernie Sanders, the socialist from Vermont who with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Mayor Zohran Mamdani is an agenda-setter on the activist left wing of the Democratic Party, is proposing that the U.S. government seize 50 percent ownership of large artificial intelligence companies.
"I will soon be introducing the American A.I. Sovereign Wealth Fund Act. This legislation would give the public a direct ownership stake in the largest A.I. companies in our country," Sanders announced in a New York Times opinion article published online. "It would create a sovereign wealth fund through a one-time 50 percent tax — not on the profits
The United States Customs and Border Protection announced Monday the appointment of Rosario “Pete” Vasquez as the new Chief of U.S. Border Patrol.
The move comes after former Border Patrol Chief Michael Banks resigned last month to spend time with his family and return to his Texas ranch. Banks began serving in the post in January 2025.
The department said Vasquez has more than 26 years of experience with Border Patrol and has served in a range of operational and executive leadership assignments across the southwest border, northern border, international posts and CBP headquarters.
“It is the honor of a lifetime to serve as chief of the United States Border Patrol,
Democratic Maine Gov. Janet Mills told voters Monday that she will still be on the ballot for the U.S. Senate race despite having suspended her campaign weeks earlier.
Mills suspended her campaign in April for financial reasons while still saying at the time that she had “the fight” to continue. On Monday, Mills posted on X, stating, “People have the impression that I withdrew or dropped out, but I simply suspended active campaigning. I am still on the ballot.” While I have the drive and passion, commitment and experience, and above all else — the fight —

Restoring Military Service For Some Trans

A Federal Court of Appeals ruled Monday in a 2-to-1 decision that the Trump administration’s military ban removing current transgender members of service is unconstitutional.
In a May 2025 ruling, the Supreme Court allowed the “Hegseth policy” prohibiting members of the military from openly identifying as transgender, when a lower court attempted to stop it. The Federal Court of Appeals ruling on Monday, however, denied the Hegseth policy from removing current members of the service affected by gender dysphoria, according to ABC News.
Judge Robert Wilkins, an Obama appointee, and Judge Judith Rogers, a Clinton appointee, ruled that current transgender service members cannot be removed.
The Trump administration is giving the American people what they want in the lead-up to the big 250th birthday celebration and is ignoring pride month — a once unruly, secular celebration beloved by the Biden administration and radical left.
Americans came to a breaking point during the Biden administration — specifically, in the summer of 2023, when the Biden administration went all in on “pride” month and Americans were horrified to see a topless transgender activist at the White House pride event, while corporate queering ran amok. The Biden administration made sure to let everyone know that it valued “pride” and did so every year,

America from Tijuana — and it was hidden
in plain sight 7 replies
Cops on both sides of the US-Mexico border are investigating a sprawling underground passage uncovered in the Tijuana area that is believed to extend toward the US.
The tunnel was found Saturday in the Nueva Tijuana neighborhood during a raid carried out by Mexican federal authorities with support from the Mexican Navy, according to Mexico’s Attorney General’s Office.
Investigators said the hidden passage stretches roughly 869 feet and sits about 21 feet below ground, making it one of the more substantial cross-border tunnel discoveries in recent years. The underground route was uncovered after authorities executed a search warrant at a property in eastern Tijuana.
Security members of a Charlotte hotel, some with extensive criminal records and documentation as gang members, sold narcotics and firearms to investigating law enforcement officers, the U.S. Department of Justice says in a federal complaint.
Five people face federal charges in drug trafficking and firearms violations following the probe by the FBI and the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, and 10 people total were arrested. A warrant has been issued for an 11th. The activity happened at the Garden Inn & Suites, commonly known as the Garden Inn, in the Sugar Creek corridor in northeastern Charlotte.
The hotel racked up, at a minimum, 57 arrests and 590 police calls in 29 months climaxing with
Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner often touts his role as harbormaster of Sullivan, Maine, as proof of his "working class" bona fides, saying on his campaign website that he "serves the town of Sullivan as Harbormaster" and claiming during a February podcast interview that he's "been the harbormaster for the last two years." He actually held the role for roughly 18 months before quitting to launch his Senate campaign—and it was largely a "clerical" one, according to local records and people familiar with the position.
Platner's predecessor as Sullivan harbormaster resigned in February 2022, the records show, and the town got by without one for more than a year.
Independent investigator Muckraker has blown the lid off a sophisticated, long-running Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) and charity fraud operation in Lawrence, Massachusetts.
Dominican immigrants have been openly buying groceries with food stamps (EBT/SNAP cards) or taking free food from charities and food banks, loading it into shipping barrels, and sending it straight to the Dominican Republic — where it gets resold for profit in local bodegas. The pipeline runs from Massachusetts corner stores, through shipping hubs in New York, all the way to Santo Domingo.
President Donald Trump lashed out Saturday after U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper blocked the planned closure and renovation of the Kennedy Center, accusing the Obama-appointed judge of halting what Trump described as a badly needed structural and aesthetic overhaul of the performing arts venue. In a lengthy Truth Social post, Trump said millions of dollars in marble, furniture, steel, heating, air conditioning, and other materials had been ordered or were about to be ordered for what he called a "magnificent structural and aesthetic rebuilding" of the center. He argued the building had serious problems involving rust, rot, pests, failing pipes, aging HVAC systems, and structural beams that needed replacement,

his hometown Chicago, sparks sharp, divided reactions 13 replies
Pope Leo XIV’s meeting last week with progressive Chicago Democratic Mayor Brandon Johnson at the Vatican in Rome has drawn mixed reactions including one from President Trump.
Johnson said after the meeting Thursday that he and the pope discussed U.S. policies under Trump, specifically the Iran conflict and immigration enforcement.
Johnson sharply criticized Trump, calling him a "disgrace" and a "tyrant" for getting the U.S. involved in the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel.
“Illegal wars do not leave just a trail of tears and trauma, but it also harms and brutalize our humanity,” Johnson said in a press briefing after the meeting. “The economic drive with which (Trump)

America’s most infamous tech company has a bold, potentially risky plan to supposedly reduce the spread of mosquito-borne illnesses, assuming the federal government will sign off on the proposal.
As The New York Post reported, Google wants federal approval to unleash approximately 32 MILLION mosquitoes into the states of California and Florida over the next two years.
This is supposedly part of an effort to halt the spread of several serious mosquito-borne illnesses, including West Nile virus, St. Louis encephalitis, dengue, Zika, chikungunya, and yellow fever.
Jennifer Lopez’ Daughter Emme has now come out identifying as a transgender “boy” named Oskar Muñiz after graduating from high school.
Emme made the announcement in March on the Windward school announcements Instagram account under the name Oskar Muñiz along with a photo of the girl when she was a child.

From the jump, we all know the E. Jean Carroll story smelled fishy. It was a very obvious political hit job against President Trump. And it came at a time when Dems were throwing everything they had at him to try and end his political aspirations for 2024(snip)
The issue is all about her testimony… specifically about the funding of the case. She allegedly said no one besides herself was paying her legal fees, even though it later came out that a nonprofit backed by billionaire Dem donor (and Epstein Island fanboy) Reid Hoffman helped fund her entire case.
Hoffman is a major Democrat donor and a big-time Trump hater.
"60 Minutes" correspondent Scott Pelley had a heated confrontation with his new boss on Monday, scolding CBS News for "murdering" the iconic program.
Last week, CBS News fired "60 Minutes" correspondents Sharyn Alfonsi and Cecilia Vega, along with the program’s executive producer Tanya Simon and other behind-the-scenes staffers. Nick Bilton, a documentary filmmaker and a former New York Times columnist, was selected by the network's polarizing editor-in-chief Bari Weiss to serve as the new EP.
Bilton met with the remaining staff on Monday in a pre-planned meeting to discuss the show’s future, but Pelley used the gathering to unload on Weiss after Bilton said Weiss loved "60 Minutes,"
Host Kristen Welker said, “You’ve heard about the president’s $1.8 billion fund, the so-called anti-weaponization fund, to pay people who say they were unfairly investigated or prosecuted by the government. It’s tied up in the courts right now. But, Mr. Vice President, should the government, in any instance, compensate people who attacked law enforcement officers on January 6?”
Pence said, “Well, look, I think that the weaponization fund is a bad idea from the start. And, I would encourage the administration just to drop it. Look, the Justice Department has the ability—

It’s been a rocky spring for President Donald Trump, at least as far as his favorability ratings go among voters. That’s the bad news. But there’s also good news for Trump: His ratings showed little change in the latest I&I/TIPP Poll, as he moves toward a deal with Iran that will reopen the Mideast’s oil spigots.
The national online I&I/TIPP Poll each month asks voters to assess presidential performance. June’s poll was taken from May 26 through May 28, and included a sample of 1,589 adults, with a margin of error of +/-2.7 percentage points.
The first question:
The United States has secured long-term access to one of the world's largest untapped rare earth deposits, a move that could reduce its future dependence on mineral-rich African nations as Washington races to build a critical minerals supply chain independent of China. REalloys, a Florida-based rare earth materials company, has signed a 15-year offtake agreement with Critical Metals Corp. covering 15% of Phase 1 production from the Tanbreez project in southern Greenland.
The deposit is among the world's largest known sources of heavy rare earth elements, including dysprosium and terbium, two minerals essential for fighter jets, missile systems, radar platforms, drones and other advanced defence technologies.
Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) is supporting Maine Democrat Senate candidate Graham Platner, who has been embroiled in controversy, at a rally planned for June 5.
While announcing the rally in a video posted Friday, Khanna said Americans want “new leaders who are gonna stand up to the billionaire class, stand up to the Epstein class, and have the guts to call what happened in Gaza a genocide. That leader is Graham Platner.” Khanna’s announcement came just before reports said Platner’s wife admitted to his campaign that he sent explicit texts to women in the early part of their marriage, according to Breitbart News.
