The Democrat Party is still holding America hostage and refusing to pay Department of Homeland Security workers. Yes, while there is a military action in Iran, and while there have been three terrorist attacks here in the past week. Democrats say they are doing it because “Americans” want reforms to ICE. They’re really talking about party activists like these specimens who prevented ICE from arresting a child rapist for a month.

This happened in Boston. Yes, where the mayor compares ICE to neo nazis. And is apparently forming a supergroup with the commie mayors from NYC, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Seattle.

ICE agents, out of frustration, reached out to Bill Melugin. They were attempting to detain WALTER ROBERTO VIDES-ORTEZ. Wally is an illegal from El Salvador who came here illegally in 2016 after his home country put out an arrest warrant. For child rape. Wally, the accused child rapist, had been living near an elementary school in Boston.

(Not to be confused with the 19-year-old illegal attending high school in Virginia and groping thirteen-year-olds, who is also being protected by democrat officials)

He told me while he & his team were in their vehicles surveilling the target’s residence in East Boston & waiting for him to come out, the ICE team was quickly surrounded by activists who blew whistles, cursed at them, and said they were traumatizing children at the nearby school down the street. Their cover was blown, the whole neighborhood was alerted, and the child rapist wasn’t arrested.

A federal appeals court has lifted a lower court order blocking a key immigration policy from President Donald Trump’s administration, allowing officials to resume deporting illegal aliens to countries other than their own.

In a 2–1 decision, the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals granted the administration’s request to pause a prior ruling that had declared the policy unlawful.

The decision allows the policy to remain in effect while the case moves forward on appeal.

Today, Governor Evers signed legislation expanding Wisconsin’s Safe Haven law, extending the time period in which an infant may be safely surrendered from three days to 30 days. The bill, authored by Senator Rob Hutton and Representative Rick Gundrum, is now 2025 Wisconsin Act 94.

The Safe Haven expansion brings Wisconsin in line with many other states and provides additional time for parents in crisis to safely and legally surrender a newborn at designated Safe Haven locations.

President Donald Trump revealed that Rep. Neal Dunn (R-FL) was told he could be dead by June due to a severe heart condition before a dramatic intervention by White House doctors helped turn the situation around.

The stunning account came during remarks alongside House Speaker Mike Johnson, who described the Florida congressman’s initial medical outlook as dire. Johnson first referenced the diagnosis while praising Dunn’s commitment to continuing his work in Congress despite the serious health concerns.

“[Dunn] had had a pretty grim diagnosis,” Johnson said. “I mentioned it to the president, and I said, ‘Congressman Dunn is a real champion and a patriot because he’s still coming to work.’ And if others got this diagnosis, they would be apt to go home and retire.”

“What was the diagnosis?” the president asked.

“It was… I mean, I think it was a terminal diagnosis,” Johnson said.

Trump then bluntly stated the gravity of the situation: “He would be dead by June.”

The Pentagon is launching a new task force to root out neo-Marxist ideology plaguing America’s war colleges, War Secretary Pete Hegseth announced on Thursday.

“We want military leaders who are critical thinkers; that have studied the principles upon which our Founding Fathers established this republic; and that are educated and prepared to win wars,” Hegseth said in a video message. “After the wokeness and weakness of Joe Biden’s administration, our warfighters deserve training with integrity; where the focus is on the warrior ethos, on deterrence, and on strength.”

Hegseth said that he has instructed Under Secretary of War for Personnel and Readiness Anthony Tata to establish a task force to “evaluate” America’s senior service colleges, where “our senior officers go to continue their education.” These institutions include the Army War College, Naval War College, National Defense University, and others.

Law-abiding citizens should not have to live this way. The public must have recourse when lunatic judges release career criminals back into the community.

In the meantime, at least some Nevada residents know that they can rely on their police to fight judicial tyranny.

According to KLAS-TV in Las Vegas, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department last week filed a petition with the Nevada Supreme Court rather than comply with an order from Las Vegas Justice Court Judge Eric Goodman, son of former Las Vegas Democratic Mayor Oscar Goodman, to release a dangerous career criminal under the department’s electronic monitoring program.

In January, police arrested 36-year-old Joshua Sanchez-Lopez on a charge of grand larceny of a motor vehicle. The defendant, a convicted felon most recently incarcerated after drug and involuntary manslaughter convictions, has an appalling 35 arrests on his record.

The Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) announced Thursday that it has determined four sham charities are directly bankrolling Hamas’s military wing and enabling its operations.

According to the Treasury Department, Hamas is hiding its revenue-generating activities behind civilian organizations, under the guise of humanitarian work, to support the group’s terrorist activities.

Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent was quoted in a press release yesterday, saying,  “Hamas continues to finance its military wing by exploiting sham charities to support terrorist operations. The Treasury Department will not allow Hamas to misuse the charitable sector for its violent aims, and we will continue to target these networks wherever they operate.”

Four separate charities are accused of channeling cash to the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, which are suspected of carrying out some of the group’s most heinous terrorist activities.

In a major win for religious liberty and workplace accommodation, an Indiana school district agreed to pay $650,000 to settle with Christian teacher John Kluge after forcing him out over his refusal to use preferred names and pronouns,


[UPDATE] An Indiana school district has agreed to pay $650,000 to settle a lawsuit filed by a Christian music teacher who said he was forced out of his job after refusing to use the preferred names and pronouns of students, according to his attorneys.

John Kluge sued Brownsburg Community School Corp. in 2019 after leaving his position at Brownsburg High School, arguing that the district failed to accommodate his Christian beliefs.

Kluge’s attorneys at Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) said the district has now agreed to the payment after the case was revived following a U.S. Supreme Court decision that strengthened protections for religious accommodations in the workplace.

Under the settlement, the district will also “train its senior staff on how Title VII protects religious employees against discrimination,” Kluge’s lawyers said. The legal group did not publicly file the settlement agreement, submitting only a joint stipulation of dismissal.

“After almost five and a half years, common sense has prevailed at Brownsburg,” said David Cortman, senior counsel and vice president of U.S. litigation for ADF.  “This settlement confirms what the law has always said: Public schools cannot force teachers to violate their religious beliefs. Title VII requires employers to accommodate their employees’ religious beliefs and practices. When they fail to do so—or worse, announce that they will grant no religious accommodations, as Brownsburg did—they can be held accountable. We hope this settlement shows teachers that they do not have to bow the knee to ideological mandates that violate their religious beliefs. And schools should learn that refusing to accommodate religious employees can be illegal and expensive.”

Regents order University of Iowa to discipline employee discussing DEI on undercover video aired on Fox News

A conservative private law firm hired to investigate two University of Iowa employees captured on undercover video discussing the campus’ compliance with state diversity, equity and inclusion laws is recommending the UI “initiate disciplinary proceedings” against just one of the employees.

Following a closed-door discussion Thursday at the Board of Regents meeting in Iowa City, board President Robert Cramer made a motion, which passed unanimously:

“In the matter of the investigation of ‘Employee A’ accept the findings and recommendation of Consovoy McCarthy and dismiss the complaint,” Cramer said. “In the matter of investigation of ‘Employee B,’ accept the findings and recommendations of Consovoy McCarthy and direct the University of Iowa to initiate disciplinary proceedings.”

Cramer did not disclose which employees were designated A and B, or detail what the “disciplinary proceedings” would entail.

A Republican won a deep-blue Northern Virginia county-level seat in a major upset Tuesday after revelations that her Democratic opponent made racist social media posts more than 10 years ago.

Republican Jeannie LaCroix, 64, won a special election for a Prince William County Board of Supervisors seat, defeating Democratic nominee Muhammed Sufiyan Casim, 36, a Muslim Pakistani immigrant, who in the 2010s made a series of online posts containing racist, misogynist and antisemitic content, Potomac Local News reported.

A federal appeals court handed an elementary school student a significant win this week for her free speech rights in the classroom, vacating a lower court’s ruling that had placed her speech rights at the whim of teachers and administrators.

A three-judge panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit found that the lower court did not properly apply the standard set in the 1969 Supreme Court ruling Tinker v. Des Moines, which found that a student does not lose his free speech rights at school and that schools may only restrict speech if it causes significant disruption to the learning environment. The ruling said the lower court was wrong in finding that the student’s drawing, at the center of the dispute, was not protected by the First Amendment.

“This case presents an important issue: to what extent is elementary students’ speech protected by the First Amendment? Applying the criteria set forth in Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District, we hold that elementary students’ speech is protected by the First Amendment, the
age of the students is a relevant factor under Tinker, and schools may restrict students’ speech only when the restriction is reasonably necessary to protect the safety and well-being of its students,” the ruling said.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested over 400 illegal alien child predators in the Houston area during the first year of President Donald Trump’s second term, according to a new agency report.

All 414 illegals were charged or convicted of child sex offenses.

The total is nearly double the 211 arrests recorded during the final year of former President Joe Biden’s administration, ICE said in a press release.

To the despair of the European establishment, the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD), the most hated political force in Germany, keeps showing robust signs of life, whether in its impressive showing in a state election on Sunday or in a recent courtroom victory. On Sunday, the AfD more than doubled its previous vote share for the parliament of Baden-Württemberg, a key industrial state in western Germany. On February 26, a German court enjoined the country’s domestic spy agency from classifying Germany’s second most popular political party as a “confirmed right-wing extremist” organization. The “confirmed right-wing extremist” designation has been a key tool in the campaign among establishment and left-wing politicians to ban the AfD entirely.

The AfD’s fate should not be a matter of indifference to American conservatives. The globalist elites must be broken everywhere if they are to be permanently broken at all.

Growing numbers of the German public defy their overseers and welcome the AfD as an antidote to the EU-Davos philosophy of open borders and the deindustrialization and immiseration that go under the banner of climate-friendly energy policy. The AfD polls second nationally to the Christian Democratic Union (CDU). The CDU was once the cornerstone of postwar conservatism, but its leaders have pulled it to the left in order to marginalize the AfD. In February 2025, Chancellor (and CDU party head) Friedrich Merz cobbled together an ideologically incoherent governing coalition whose sole purpose is to shut the AfD out of power, despite the AfD’s receiving the second largest share of the German vote. The establishment proudly refers to this exclusionary strategy as the “firewall,” which allegedly protects German democracy from falling into the hands of purported neo-Nazis.

Sometimes, a news item’s symbolic meaning far exceeds its immediate effects. For instance, a new voter identification measure in California has implications far beyond the issue of election integrity or even the Golden State’s borders.

Particularly if it succeeds on the November midterm election ballot, this measure can demonstrate to conservatives how they can influence policy outcomes even in the bluest of states. It’s a formula that the movement can and should attempt to replicate in other states and on other issues.

At this early phase of the process, the proposed amendment to the California Constitution requiring the submission of ID for in-person and mail-in voting has a decent chance of enactment. Supporters claim they have collected 1.3 million signatures, or nearly 50 percent more than the 875,000 they need to get the measure on the ballot.

Assuming the measure makes it to the ballot, it appears to have support from a broad swath of the Golden State’s electorate. A poll taken last May found that a whopping 71 percent of California registered voters, including nearly 6 in 10 Democrats, support “requiring proof of U.S. citizenship when people register to vote for the first time.” The support erodes slightly when voters are asked about “requiring proof of U.S. citizenship each time a voter casts a ballot in an election” (emphasis mine), but even here, a majority of California voters (54 percent) approve strongly or somewhat.

“For me, it is impossible to be a faithful follower of Jesus Christ while remaining a member of the Democratic Party as it exists today.”

A Democrat state representative in Michigan has announced that she is not running for reelection to prioritize her religious beliefs. Rep. Karen Whitsett announced on March 2, “I will not be seeking re-election for this office, and I will not be running for any office ever again. This is not a political calculation—it’s a spiritual decision,” per WDIV.

“Michigan State Representative Bradley Slagh (R–85th District) said something that convicted me: ‘You’re to vote your district, but you’re not to sell your soul.’ In the end, I have to answer to God.”

She said that she could no longer be a faithful follower of Christianity while remaining a member of the Democrat Party. “For me, it is impossible to be a faithful follower of Jesus Christ while remaining a member of the Democratic Party as it exists today. I cannot reconcile that platform with Scripture.” She added, “I have compromised my relationship with Jesus for too long, and I’m grateful God did not give up on me. He gave me time to repent, turn, and be fully devoted to Him.”

My colleague Mary Chastain noted in her recent report that President Donald Trump’s team was weighing a takeover of the critical shipping lane of the Strait of Hormuz, through which a vast amount of global oil supply flows.

This development follows on the heels of continuing military targeting covered by our talented Vijeta Uniyal.

I would like to focus on the Strait for a moment, as I noted in an earlier report that Trump ordered a US agency to provide insurance for companies willing to sail through the region. That plan is moving forward.

The U.S. will provide reinsurance ‌for losses up to $20 billion in the Gulf region, to help provide confidence for oil and gas shippers during the war on Iran, the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation said on Friday.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday ordered the DFC to provide political risk ​insurance and financial guarantees for maritime trade in the Gulf after oil and liquefied natural gas ​tanker transit had ground to a halt in the Strait of Hormuz waterway off ⁠Iran, where ordinarily 20% of global oil moves daily.

Officials in Austin, Texas, have reached a settlement with a former volunteer chaplain for the Austin Fire Department who sued after he was dismissed from his role following posts on his personal blog that discussed his religious views.

Andrew Fox, an ordained minister who helped launch the department’s chaplaincy program, served as the city’s lead volunteer chaplain for eight years. He filed a lawsuit in 2022 alleging that the city violated his First Amendment rights after officials demanded he apologize for blog posts stating that men and women are biologically different and expressing opposition to men competing in women’s sports.

At the time, he was one of many individuals who were fired, suspended, or otherwise cancelled for discussing their disfavored views on their personal social media platforms. At the time, his case was particularly alarming because, as the Standing for Freedom Center asked at the time, “If chaplains can’t write about or discuss their religious beliefs without fear of retribution, who can?”

Under the settlement, city officials agreed to pay Fox damages and issued a letter thanking him for his service.

“Everyone should be able to speak freely without fear of punishment just for expressing a view with which the government disagrees,” said Hal Frampton, senior counsel for Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) and director of the ADF Center for Conscience Initiatives, who represented Fox.

Today, the world is fighting against pollution. Many kinds of NGOs in the whole world are working tirelessly to minimise the problem of pollution. Data from the Global Environmental Organisation Index (2024), highlighted by the Varanasi Diocese Community Network, tells that over 120,000+ officially registered environmental NGOs are worldwide. Plastic pollution is one of the major issues currently that is rapidly growing, and to tackle this, researchers from Flinders University in South Australia have taken a step ahead to solve the problem. They have worked on creating a material (plastic) that can be decomposed under normal soil conditions.

NEH still lists grants on its website, however.

The National Endowment for the Humanities says it cancelled a University of Florida professor’s grant to research LGBT cartoonists as well as another scholar’s work on “multethnic graphic literature.”

The NEH website lists a $60,000 grant, beginning on January 1 of this year, to English Professor ​​Margaret Alice Galvan. The grant would aid Galvan’s research on “how LGBTQ+ cartoonists innovated comics through grassroots formats in the 1980s-90s.”

“Based on archival research, each chapter focuses on different grassroots publishing formats and shows how cartoonists wielded these neglected forms to develop their comics and build community,” the grant summary stated.

The Leader of the Scottish Conservative Party has dropped his support of the Scottish assisted suicide Bill, vowing that he will now vote against it as “the risks are too great”.

Russell Findlay MSP previously supported the Assisted Dying for Terminally Ill Adults (Scotland) Bill, which, as written, would legalise assisted suicide for adults resident in Scotland with no prognosis requirement specified; however, he now opposes the Bill due to numerous concerns with it.

This now means that the leaders of the three largest parties in Holyrood are opposed to the assisted suicide Bill.

Findlay is the third MSP who supported the Bill last year to now oppose it, meaning that if only four more MSPs change their minds and commit to voting against the Bill, it will fail.

What part of ‘shall not be infringed’ does the left not understand?

It turns out, though, the left does not need to understand this country’s founding documents because there is this little thing called the judicial system, which protects the rights of Americans when officials blatantly infringe on them.

The Court of Appeals in D.C. just ruled that banning “firearm magazines that are able to hold ‘more than 10 rounds of ammunition’ was unconstitutional, violating the Second Amendment,” according to DC News Now.

In the case United States and the District of Columbia v. Tyree Benson, Benson claimed that he was unconstitutionally convicted for owning a gun that had a magazine that could hold over 10 rounds of ammunition.

The ruling stated that the federal government, a prosecutor in the case, had acknowledged that the ban violated the Second Amendment, but that the District’s government continued to defend the ban.

It turns out that when you ban these types of firearms, you nearly ban “half of all magazines that citizens own.”
