Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum and the face of the NGO’s elitist annual get-together in Davos, Switzerland, has resigned as chair of WEF. 

Over the decades, but especially over the past several years, the WEF’s Davos annual symposium has become a lightning rod for conservative criticism due to the agendas being pushed there by the elites. As the Associated Press noted: 

Widely regarded as a cheerleader for globalisation, the WEF’s Davos gathering has in recent years drawn criticism from opponents on both left and right as an elitist talking shop detached from lives of ordinary people.

Republicans in the House of Representatives have introduced legislation that would disarm the Internal Revenue Service and take away its millions of dollars of weapons and ammunition that it has.

The bill would prohibit the IRS from buying and storing firearms. It would also force the agency to sell its huge arsenal to licensed firearms dealers.

Per Just the News:

Since 2006, the IRS has spent $35.2 million on guns, ammunition, and military-style equipment, according to an investigation by the nonprofit Open the Books, a spending watchdog. Since 2020, the IRS bought $10 million in weaponry and gear, according to a report from the group. The report also noted that the IRS had nearly 2,100 special agents. Included in the IRS purchases were $2.3 million for ammunition, $1.2 million for ballistic shields, $474,000 for Smith & Wesson rifles, and $463,000 for Baretta 1301 tactical shotguns.

Those weapons would be auctioned off under terms of the bill, which would require the IRS to transfer its gun collection to the General Services Administration. GSA would then have to sell and auction of the firearms to licensed dealers and the ammunition to the public.

The idea of separate graduation ceremonies for different groups is un-American. It shouldn’t be happening anywhere.

WLKY News reports:

University of Kentucky cancels identity-based graduation ceremonies

The University of Kentucky will no longer host graduation ceremonies that recognize specific student groups, such as LGBTQ+, Black, and first-generation students.

The university said the decision was made “following a number of federal and state policy changes and directives.”

In February, the U.S. Department of Education directed all public universities receiving federal funding to cancel diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.

Some alumni have said they never thought their graduation ceremony, or those honoring Black and first-generation students, would face the same fate.

“I love the University of Kentucky with all my heart, but I can see why some parents might not want their children to go there in the future,” said Tuesday Meadows, the former president of PrideCats.

Arizona Democratic Party chairman Robert Branscomb II accused his party’s U.S. senators of trying to intimidate and coerce him, prompting sharp rebukes from state and federal officials and pointing to a deep rupture in the state party.

Branscomb alleged in a Saturday morning email to party members that Arizona senators Mark Kelly and Ruben Gallego, both Democrats, “threatened” and “intimidated” him after he appointed an executive director who is not their preferred choice. According to Branscomb, one of the senators vowed to “no longer support or participate in state party fundraising,” while the other told Branscomb to reverse the decision or “face consequences.”

Within hours, Arizona’s Democratic officials—in a statement sent by party vice chair Aaron Marquez—fired back. The senators—along with Governor Katie Hobbs, Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, and Attorney General Kris Mayes—said that “the Chair has lost our trust” and slammed Branscomb’s accusation as “the kind of bad-faith response we’ve come to expect from leadership,” according to Arizona’s 12News.

A Democrat judge in New Mexico resigned last month just days after a suspected member of the violent Tren de Aragua gang was arrested at his residence.

On March 3, Judge Jose “Joel” Cano, magistrate of Doña Ana County, sent a letter to various court staff, including 3rd Judicial District Chief Judge Conrad Perea, announcing that he would step down from his seat effective March 21.

“Working with each of you has been a very rewarding experience for which I will remain eternally grateful,” he wrote, according to the Albuquerque Journal.

Just three days before Cano sent the resignation letter, on February 28, ICE agents conducted a search warrant on his home in connection with Cristhian Ortega-Lopez, a 23-year-old illegal immigrant from Venezuela and suspected TDA gangster who was living there.

Ortega-Lopez broke into the U.S. by scaling a barbed-wire fence near Eagle Pass, Texas, at the height of the Biden border crisis in December 2023, Breitbart reported, citing court documents. He spent three days at a detention facility in South Laredo before he was released because of overcrowding.

A federal judge has canceled a Joe Biden-era rule that required businesses to promote abortion.

The rule, perpetrated by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission under Biden, demanded that employers provide abortion-related leave and other practices that violated the beliefs of a multitude of business operators and owners.

A report in the Washington Stand explained the impact of the ruling from Daniel Traynor, a Trump appointee to the District Court of North Dakota, is that 9,000 Catholic businesses now do not have to grant abortion leave and other practices contrary to their beliefs.

In terms of both popular approval and general depravity of thought, modern Democrats have reached new depths.

Thus, President Donald Trump would do well to take a page from one of his illustrious 19th-century predecessors.

According to a Gallup poll published on Thursday, public confidence in congressional Democrats — the party now led by the likes of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, as well as lesser known yet equally radical figures such as House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York, Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, and Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas — has plummeted to a historic low of 25 percent.

For comparison’s sake, the prominent pollster had Democrats’ confidence rating at 34 percent as recently as 2023.

Likewise, shortly after now-former President Joe Biden took office in 2021, that rating stood at 49 percent.

Amid the escalating battle with Harvard University, President Donald Trump is reportedly planning to withdraw another $1 billion in taxpayer-funded federal funding from the prestigious school.

The alleged plan was revealed in a report from the Wall Street Journal

The outlet reported that the $1 billion is related to Harvard’s health research funding, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The latest report comes just days after the White House asked the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to revoke the tax-exempt status of the elite Massachusetts Ivy League school.

The order was issued over Harvard’s failure to address anti-Semitism on campus.

In March, the Department of Justice (DOJ) began a “comprehensive review” of the school’s federal contracts and government-funded grants.

Under President Donald Trump’s administration, the permitting process for “critical mineral” mining is set to be more “transparent” as the greenlit projects will have a public review process.

The Federal Permitting Improvement Steering Council (Permitting Council) announced this adjustment on Friday to bring “increased transparency, accountability, and predictability” to the review process. This comes after the National Energy Dominance Council (NEDC) selected its “first wave” of “critical mineral” projects in accordance with Trump’s March 20 executive order on expanding “American mineral production.”

“This is just the beginning — many more projects are expected to be added to the list on a rolling basis over the next few weeks,” the announcement reads. NEDC flagged 10 initial projects in this “first wave” of domestic mining operations, outlined in the announcement.

“This is the first use of the Permitting Council’s transparency authority, and we look forward to showcasing the many benefits the Federal Permitting Dashboard can bring to critical infrastructure projects as part of President Trump’s Executive Order on increasing American mineral production,” Manisha Patel, Acting Executive Director at the Permitting Council, said in the statement.

A new survey from the Yale Youth Poll has revealed a stunning generational divide in American politics — and a particularly brutal blow for former Vice President Kamala Harris among the youngest male voters.

According to the poll, conducted in early April and released this week, 18–21 year-old men now hold a net positive favorability toward President Donald Trump (+7), while Harris has plummeted to a staggering negative favorability of -48. That’s a 55-point gap between the two political figures, a number almost unheard of in modern polling.

The poll, conducted by an undergraduate-led research project at Yale University, surveyed 4,100 registered voters, including an oversample of 2,025 voters aged 18–29. It measured attitudes on a wide range of issues from immigration to free speech, and included various message tests to assess how voters respond to different political framings.

But the most striking revelation came in the breakdown by age. While voters aged 22–29 favored Democrats by 6.4 points on the generic congressional ballot, those aged 18–21 went the other direction — backing Republicans by a double-digit margin of 11.7 points. That represents a significant generational rift within Gen Z itself.

Justice Samuel Alito has choice words for his high bench colleagues who released a blanket opinion “literally in the middle of the night” on Saturday, ordering the Trump administration to halt the deportation of Venezuelans suspected of being Tren De Aragua gang members from custody in the Northern District of Texas.

In his dissent joined by Justice Clarence Thomas, Alito argued the court “hastily and prematurely granted unprecedented emergency relief” to an expanded number of suspected criminal aliens in a “legally questionable” manner — especially because “it is not clear that the Court had jurisdiction.”

Contrary to his fellow justices’ assumption of authority, Alito noted even the Fifth Circuit “held that it lacked jurisdiction” because it was unsure whether a District Court’s failure to rule on the alleged gang members’ request for a temporary restraining order “before the expiration of a truncated counsel-imposed deadline” counted as a denial. Alito clarified later in the dissent that the counsel for the Venezuelans “insisted on a ruling within 45 minutes on Good Friday afternoon” and proceeded with an appeal when that demand was not met.

Two years after Gallup said that more Americans identified as Republicans than Democrats for the first time in over three decades, the trend has expanded as the GOP has won over more support from Hispanic and black voters.

The one-point edge Gallup discovered in January 2023 has grown to five points in a new Napolitan News survey of 9,300 registered voters.

In that survey shared with Secrets, 46% said that they considered themselves Republicans or leaned Republican, while 41% considered themselves Democrats or leaned Democrat.

In the Gallup survey of 10,000 adults, 45% identified as Republicans and 44% as Democrats.

Napolitan pollster Scott Rasmussen said that while the numbers appear to favor Republicans and even President Donald Trump, voters can be fickle and sometimes change their partisan identification.

“While it’s hard for people in the political world to accept, party ID is fluid. During a campaign season, people who think of themselves as independent tend to align with a party — or at least lean toward a party. That’s why the number of Republicans goes up with a Trump victory,” he said.

Trump has been pushing to turn every federal agency into an effective tool for catching and deporting illegal immigrants. And wouldn’t you know it, acting IRS Commissioner Melanie Krause couldn’t handle doing the right thing and resigned.

And guess who’s likely to take her place? Gary Shapley, the IRS whistleblower who blew the lid off the Hunter Biden tax probe. He testified under oath that he faced retaliation simply for doing his job and cooperating with congressional investigators looking into the shady business dealings of the president’s son. Now, according to the Associated Press, Shapley is expected to be promoted to acting commissioner of the IRS.

Shapley and fellow IRS investigator Joseph Ziegler were sidelined from the Hunter Biden probe in December 2022 after raising serious concerns with their superiors. According to their testimony, the Justice Department under then-U.S. Attorney David Weiss repeatedly “slow-walked investigative steps” and stalled enforcement actions in the critical months leading up to the 2020 election.

Attorney General Pam Bondi escalated the Trump administration’s war with Maine on Wednesday, announcing a lawsuit over the state’s decision to continue allowing boys to compete in girls sports.

Bondi said during a press conference flanked by young female athletes, including activist Riley Gaines, that the legal action was a result of the state defying President Donald Trump’s executive order that interpreted Title IX to prevent transgender athletes from competing in sports exclusive to their opposite sex. The Biden administration had reinterpreted it to include transgender identity in Title IX’s protections.

“They must not be reading the same Title IX we’re reading,” Bondi said.

The complaint alleges that the Maine Department of Education is “openly and defiantly flouting federal anti-discrimination law.”

“Based on media reports, Ms. Letitia James has, in multiple instances, falsified bank documents and property records to acquire government backed assistance and loans and more favorable loan terms.”

The Trump administration hit New York Attorney General Letitia James with a criminal referral for alleged mortgage fraud on Tuesday, according to a report from the New York Post.

The outlet reported that Federal Housing FHFA Director William Pulte sent the referral to Attorney General Pam Bondi as well as the Department of Justice, and accused James of having “falsified records” to get a home loan in Virginia while she was still serving as the New York state AG. The alleged false documents said that James’ home in Virginia was her “principal residence.” When a home is labeled as ones “principal residence,” loans will sometimes have more favorable terms.

President Donald Trump received mixed reviews from the public regarding his handling of economic matters, according to a new poll.

A CBS survey polled voters last week after Trump imposed sweeping global tariffs and then negotiated “fairer” trade deals with foreign countries to carry out his “America First” agenda. As a result, the stock market had a volatile week, losing $6 trillion at one point. It has since recuperated partially, though market anxieties remain.

The survey highlighted conflicting feedback from the public. When asked about the impact of Trump’s tariffs, some voters said they raised prices in the short term but could pay off with a healthier economy in the future. However, 65% of voters said they would make the economy worse in the short term. That number fell to 42% when voters were asked about the long-term implications of the tariffs. Only 8% said the tariffs would make the economy better in the short term, compared to 34% who believe Trump’s trade policies would help the economy in the long term.

Hegseth Secures ‘First and Free’ Passage for U.S. Ships in Panama Canal– www.breitbart.com

PANAMA CITY, Panama — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had one mission on his trip to Panama — to secure a deal to get “first and free” passage for U.S. ships in the Panama Canal, a critical waterway for the United States’ economy and military that was at risk of falling under China’s control.

As the secretary and his team flew the down from Washington on Monday evening to meet with Panama’s leaders, such a deal with Panama was far from certain.

While the U.S. had built the canal in the early 1900s and maintained it for decades before handing it over to Panama, China had in recent years poured money into projects and infrastructure attached to it. As a passageway between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans that handles more than 40 percent of U.S. maritime trade, if China were able to close the canal, it would be a catastrophe for the U.S.

President Donald Trump, early on in his administration, made retaking the canal from Chinese influence a top priority. In December, even before he took office for the second time, he posted about it on Truth Social:

The U.S. Department of Justice is reportedly weighing a proposal that would merge the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).

According to a report from Reuters, the department outlined the plan in a March 25 memo. In addition to a potential merger, the administration is also reportedly considering the closure of several field offices that handle antitrust, environmental and civil cases.

The administration believes that a merger of the ATF and the DEA would “achieve efficiencies in resources, case deconfliction and regulatory efforts,” the memo outlines. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche instructed department heads and relevant officials mentioned in the memo to provide feedback about the proposed restricting by April 2.

Blanche added that proposed cuts and mergers were previously submitted to the Office of Personnel Management and the White House Office of Management and Budget.

Sunday night marked another explosive chapter in President Trump’s ongoing battle with the dishonest corporate media, as he fired off a pair of Truth Social posts eviscerating the long-disgraced CBS program “60 Minutes” for airing not one—but two—blatantly false hit pieces against him.

This is not the first time “60 Minutes” was accused of running deliberately false reports in order to take down President Trump.

It can be recalled that ’60 Minutes’ cut Kamala’s nonsensical answer to a question and replaced it with a completely separate sentence she said earlier in the interview. This was fraud and election interference.
