A top House Democrat has joined the escalating pressure on Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL) to step down after a bipartisan ethics panel found her guilty of 25 violations after she was caught fraudulently siphoning off millions of dollars in taxpayer money.

Some are now warning that a House expulsion vote is imminent if she refuses to resign from Congress.

The push marks a significant shift as members of her own party begin publicly calling for her removal following the panel’s findings.

A Democrat politician was arrested during a “No Kings” rally in Spring Hill, Florida Saturday, after he allegedly attacked a disabled counter protester with his megaphone.

Over 500 leftist groups, including openly communist organizations, reportedly helped coordinate the more than 3,200 “No Kings” demonstrations in all 50 states over the weekend.

A security scare near Palm Beach International Airport on Sunday forced the Air Force to scramble F-16 fighter jets to intercept a civilian aircraft that violated restricted airspace as President Donald Trump was preparing to fly back to Washington, officials said.

Authorities briefly imposed a ground stop at the airport as the situation unfolded.

“The civilian aircraft violated the Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) at approximately 1:15 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. The aircraft was safely escorted out of the area by NORAD aircraft,” the Defense Visual Information Distribution Service said in a statement shared by the North American Aerospace Defense Command, which oversees air defense for the U.S. and Canada.

NORAD said the fighter jets also deployed flares as part of the intercept.

“The flares were used to draw attention from or communicate with the pilot. Flares are employed with the highest regard for safety, burn out quickly and completely, and pose no danger to people on the ground.”

President Donald Trump is weighing a range of military options against Iran as tensions escalate, with Pentagon planners outlining scenarios for what officials describe as a potential “massive final blow.”

According to Axios, President Trump has been presented with four possible paths.

Those plans reportedly include deploying U.S. troops and launching a ground operation targeting Kharg Island, a critical hub in Iran’s oil network.

President Donald Trump on Thursday slammed the Supreme Court and federal court judges after they ruled against his effort to freeze $10 billion in funding to blue states.

The president in December announced that his administration was freezing funding to Minnesota after widespread welfare fraud was exposed in the state. In early January, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) sent letters to five blue states announcing a temporary freeze on funding for child care and social service funding.

During a cabinet meeting at the White House, Trump told reporters about how people discovered the rampant waste and fraud occurring in Minnesota.  “I just saw something that the nursing home business and the daycare centers in particular, they went out and inspected them in Minnesota, and they didn’t exist,” he said. “They’re knocking on door, happens to be a young man, Nick [Shirley], nice young man. He’s done a very good job. They’re knocking on doors. It’s like homes. And they’re getting hundreds of thousands…they didn’t exist.”

And in California, it’s worse. It’s even worse. And I spoke with Russell Vought. I said, ‘Russell, don’t send him any money.’ He said, ‘but we have a court order that we have.’ Can you believe it? A judge. The judges are really hurting this country. Our judges. Justice Roberts doesn’t like when I say it, but the judges are really hurting this country. And frankly, the justices, the Supreme Court has really hurt our country, too.

In the 1964 black comedy Dr. Strangelove, an emergency war plan called “Plan R” allows an unhinged U.S. Air Force commander, Jack Ripper, to launch a nuclear strike without presidential authorization. Once the president, the joint chiefs, and the Soviet ambassador convene in the war room, the bombers are already airborne. Only Ripper knows the three-letter prefix needed to recall them, until his aide, Lionel Mandrake, reconstructs it from Ripper’s notes. Although nearly all planes are turned back, one damaged B-52 cannot receive the recall message and successfully drops its bomb, triggering the Soviets’ secret doomsday machine and bringing about global destruction.

The film’s lesson is not only about nuclear weapons, but also about what happens when critical systems are not governed effectively.

Islam in the West:

French police caught two people trying to light a bomb at Bank of America offices in Paris on Saturday.

One was arrested, the other fled. Two alleged accomplices were detained Sunday.

Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said there is “significant suspicion” of Iran’s involvement via proxies, noting similar incidents targeting U.S.-linked sites in other European countries.

French police dismantled a bomb intended for the Bank of America headquarters in the 8th arrondissement — blocks from the Champs-Elysees. Five liters of an unidentified liquid. 650 grams of powder. A lighter as an ignition system. This wasn’t a prototype.

Belgium had a record 4,486 assisted deaths in 2025, an increase of 12.4% on the previous year, accounting for 4% of all deaths in the country, with almost a quarter of all deaths not expected in the short-term.

According to the annual review released by Belgium’s ‘Federal Commission for the Control and Evaluation of Euthanasia’:

There is no requirement that someone seeking an assisted death in Belgium be near the end of their lives. The law allows adults and emancipated minors experiencing “constant, unbearable physical or psychological suffering due to a serious and incurable condition” to end their lives by euthanasia or assisted suicide.

A major amendment to the law in 2014 removed the age restriction for assisted suicide and euthanasia in Belgium, making Belgium the first country to legalise euthanasia for minors “with capacity of discernment”.

One minor ended their life by assisted suicide or euthanasia in Belgium in 2025.

Noelia Castillo Ramos’ case galvanized international attention after her father, Gerónimo Castillo, mounted a legal battle against the authorization of various Spanish courts for his daughter to receive euthanasia in 2023. Aided by Abogados Cristianos (Christian Lawyers), a conservative Catholic organization, Mr. Castillo exhausted all appeals to the Spanish courts.

The father argued that his daughter wasn’t fully psychologically able to make a decision regarding euthanasia and that she needed better medical and psychiatric care. His legal battle was ultimately shut down by the European Court for Human Rights in Strasbourg, France, on March 10.

You don’t need to be a biologist to understand there is a physical difference between males and females. This is such a well-known fact that even cavemen understand this concept. The left, however, woke up one day and decided that there is no difference, despite reality proving otherwise. This is why the Department of Justice is suing Minnesota, as they have allowed boys to invade the female division of sports for far too long.

According to the New York Post:

The Department of Justice sued Minnesota on Monday for discriminating against female athletes by letting biological males compete against them and enter their bathrooms and locker rooms.

These asinine policies don’t just destroy the integrity of the game: They actively jeopardize women’s safety.

The suit, filed in Minnesota federal court, alleges that the state’s Department of Education and the Minnesota State High School League have been implementing policies and practices that ignored “undeniable physiological differences between male and female athletes” in violation of Title IX.

To claim the state ignored “undeniable physiological differences” would be an understatement at this point.

Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon noted in the 45-page civil filing that the state also committed the violations while taking more than $3 billion in federal funding per year and agreeing to uphold nondiscriminatory policies.

With less than a month before election day in Virginia, a new poll finds voters aren’t crazy about the Democrats’ plan to change the constitution in order to rig the commonwealth’s political maps.

Heritage Action’s Redistricting Poll of 814 likely Virginia voters gauges support — and opposition — for the April 21 ballot question asking whether the state’s constitution should be altered. Members of the Democrat-controlled Assembly want to “temporarily” push aside the work of a state redistricting commission so that they can rewrite Virginia’s congressional maps. They want an extreme gerrymander that aims to take out four Republican House seats and give Democrats a 10-1 advantage in the state’s congressional delegation.

REUTERS—The FBI said on Monday that an attack on the largest Jewish temple in Michigan earlier this month was an “act of terrorism” inspired by Hezbollah.

Ayman Ghazali, a 41-year-old man who was born in Lebanon and became a U.S. citizen in 2016, killed himself during the March 12 attack, when he crashed his truck into the Temple of Israel synagogue before opening fire on security guards and causing an explosion using fireworks, said Jennifer Runyan, the special agent in charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Detroit field office.

Simply put, some things should transcend politics. But in a country where Democrats have a seriously bad case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, mountains must be made out of molehills, right is wrong and wrong is right, and victims of violent crimes can only be honored if their crime fits leftist narratives.

That’s where we are with Rhode Island, which has been a hotbed of anti-Trump activity since he took office for his second term, especially on the issue of illegal immigration, which has seen some woke state lawmakers openly threaten immigration enforcement officers.

ICE’s presence in cities like Providence and the removal flights that have taken off from Portsmouth have led to outrage among Democrat officials and far-left woketivists, the latter of whom have staged street protests, set up tip lines, and stakeouts where they try to locate ICE vehicles and allegedly give them no choice but to leave.

American universities move operations online

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps threatened to bomb U.S. and Israeli universities in the Middle East, calling them “legitimate targets” on Sunday.

The threat followed reported U.S.-led attacks on two Iranian universities, according to Inside Higher Ed

“The reckless rulers of the White House should know that from now on, all universities of the occupying regime and American universities in the West Asia region are legitimate targets for us until two universities are struck in retaliation for the Iranian universities that have been destroyed,” the IRGC stated.

“All staff, professors, and students of American universities in the region, as well as residents in their surroundings, are advised to stay at least one kilometer away from these universities to ensure their safety,” it stated.

New York University, Northwestern, and Georgetown operate branch campuses in Qatar or the United Arab Emirates, while American University maintains campuses in Lebanon, Iraq, and Egypt, Washington Examiner reported.

The United Kingdom will not come to the aid of its allies the United States and Israel in Iran, no matter what pressure there is to join and no matter who asks, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has said.

The British Armed Forces will act to defend itself and British citizens in the Middle East but will never be “dragged in” to the war against Iran, Sir Keir Starmer said.

The remarks came in Starmer’s speech launching his Labour party’s local elections campaign for the forthcoming May 7th votes. While geopolitics and foreign war discourse may not seem like traditional fodder for local government elections, which in Britain tend to be fought on neighbourhood issues like refuse collection and road repairs, UK politics has taken on distinctly ethno-religious qualities that have led to claims it is developing a new sectarian politics.

For many voters in the United Kingdom, that the government doesn’t bomb Muslim countries is a primary concern at the ballot box, and several Labour Party MPs are privately concerned they stand to lose their seats to single-issue sectarian parties.

Promising his government wouldn’t engage in the joint American-Israeli attempt to reduce Iran’s capacity to hold the global economy to ransom, Sir Keir said in Wolverhampton on Monday that he wouldn’t change his mind “whatever the pressure and whoever it’s coming from”. He said:

We’re facing on a war on two fronts: the Ukraine war, now four-and-a-bit years in, and let’s salute the bravery of Ukrainians over so many years both on the frontline and the civilians as they fight for the values that matter to us.

And the other war … the Iran war, which I know is causing huge concern. People look at their screens and they’re worried when they see explosions, infrastructure blown up, the rhetoric that goes with it, worried about whether this is going to escalate even further.

And therefore it’s really important that I reiterate where I stand and where this government stands, because this is not our war and we are not going to be dragged into it.

The American political left as a cultural formation, and the Democratic Party as an institution, have sunk into a style of oppositionalism that contains no opposition. They speak in a vernacular of protest because they speak in a vernacular of protest, out of habit and as a cultural identity, but they have no idea what they’re protesting. They’re very angry about the, you know, stuff. Something something Trump something something.

Professors were among the throngs on Saturday taking part in the No Kings demonstrations held across the nation to protest the Trump administration.

It is estimated that millions of people took part in the rallies that peppered the country, with some likening the movement to the conservative Tea Party protests in 2009.

Various reports estimated 3,000 different protests took place in larger cities and smaller communities, drawing people from all walks of life, including scholars.

“Our courageous men and women face death threats, just like this, every day. Individuals making the threats will be held accountable.”

A left-wing agitator vandalized a federal building in Los Angeles on Saturday, spray-painting the words “kill your local ICE agent” during the “No Kings” protest.

Thousands of individuals marched throughout downtown Los Angeles in opposition to the Trump administration, with many specifically protesting immigration enforcement policies. Video shared by Fox News showed a masked individual using red spray paint to write the message on the wall, along with two bullseye symbols.

US Immigration and Customs Enforcement shared the video on X, writing in response, “If you threaten ICE, or their families, you WILL face the full force of federal law.”

“Our courageous men and women face death threats, just like this, every day. Individuals making the threats will be held accountable,” the agency added.

An estimated eight million people reportedly turned out on Saturday for “No Kings” protests. Many of the more than 3,300 protests looked the same: crowds largely made up of elderly white leftists holding signs accusing President Donald Trump of being a “dictator” or “tyrant” or, as might be guessed, a “king.”

On social media there’s no shortage of Republicans mocking the protests — and with good reason. But however stupid the message of the “No Kings” protests, the left nonetheless managed to mobilize millions of people, including current and future voters.
