A Chinese researcher allegedly tried to smuggle biological materials into the US from Wuhan and lied to the feds about the secretive scheme.

Chengxuan Han was arrested Sunday after landing at the Detroit Metropolitan airport on a flight from Shanghai, according to charging documents. She was charged with smuggling goods into the US and making false statements.

Han is the third Chinese scientist to be charged with smuggling illegal biological materials into Michigan in recent weeks.

Yunqing Jian, 33, and her boyfriend Zunyong Liu, 34, were caught last year allegedly trying to smuggle samples of a dangerous crop-killing fungus into the US, the FBI said. Jian, a Communist Party loyalist and lab researcher at the University of Michigan who received Chinese government funding for her work, was charged last week in a ploat the national security insiders called “an attack on US food supply.”

Upon Han’s arrival to the US, border officers discovered Han sent four packages that “contained biological material related to round worms” from China, according to court documents

The packages, which were sent in both 2024 and 2025, were addressed to individuals associated with a laboratory at the University of Michigan.

The Trump economy has once again shocked the pundits and “experts”,” this time by adding 139,000 jobs, which is about 15,000 more than the “experts” predicted.

Economists expected only about 125,000 jobs to be added to the workforce, though they did successfully predict that the unemployment rate would remain steady at 4.2 percent.

Amazingly, this higher job growth rate came even though the federal government has shed tens of thousands of jobs.

ABC News was even forced to admit that the unemployment rate is at historic lows.

Per Breitbart News:

President Donald Trump’s program of shrinking the federal government is showing signs of progress. Employment in the federal government fell by 22,000 in May and is down 59,000 since January.

The private sector added 140,000 jobs, more than the 120,000 forecast. The services sector expanded by 145,000 jobs while the good producing side of the economy contracted by 5,000. Manufacturing employment contracted by 8,000 jobs but the prior month’s figure was revised up from a loss of 1,000 to a gain of 5,000.

Over the past 12 months, the economy has added 149,000 jobs each month on average.

The labor force participation rate slipped to 62.4 from 62.6 in the prior month.

Average hourly earnings climbed at a rapid rate, rising 0.4 percent in May. That is double the April rate of increase and more than the consensus forecast. Compared with a year ago, average hourly earnings are up 3.9 percent, handily beating inflation.

Illinois Right to Life is celebrating the close of the 2025 legislative session with a significant victory: the defeat of a dangerous Physician-Assisted Suicide (PAS) bill that would have legalized physician assisted suicide in our state.

The Illinois Legislature attempted multiple strategies to push this bill through, including a legislative sleight of hand: after identical PAS bills stalled in both the House and Senate, proponents amended a food sanitation bill, stripping its original content and replacing it with PAS language. The maneuver allowed the bill to reach the House floor, where it passed. However, the Senate did not vote to concur with the amended language—effectively killing the bill for now.

“This is a critical win for Illinois’ most vulnerable citizens,” said Mary Kate Zander, President of Illinois Right to Life. “Our lawmakers heard from thousands of Illinoisans who refused to allow death to become a state-sanctioned ‘treatment.’ We are grateful to our coalition partners, and most of all, to the countless constituents who made their voices heard. We give glory to God.”

The U.S. Department of Education has notified the Middle States Commission on Higher Education (the “Commission”) that Columbia University is not in compliance with the Commission’s accreditation requirements.

From the DoEd Press Release:

The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) today notified Middle States Commission on Higher Education (the Commission) that its member institution, Columbia University, is in violation of federal antidiscrimination laws and therefore fails to meet the standards for accreditation set by the Commission. Pursuant to President Trump’s Executive Order, Reforming Accreditation to Strengthen Higher Education, the Department has an obligation to promptly provide accreditors with any noncompliance findings related to member institutions.

The Commission’s “Standards for Accreditation and Requirements of Affiliation” state that “a candidate or accredited institution possesses or demonstrates … compliance with all applicable government laws and regulations.” In light of OCR’s determination, Columbia University no longer appears to meet the Commission’s accreditation standards.

“After Hamas’ October 7, 2023, terror attack on Israel, Columbia University’s leadership acted with deliberate indifference towards the harassment of Jewish students on its campus. This is not only immoral, but also unlawful. Accreditors have an enormous public responsibility as gatekeepers of federal student aid. They determine which institutions are eligible for federal student loans and Pell Grants. Just as the Department of Education has an obligation to uphold federal antidiscrimination law, university accreditors have an obligation to ensure member institutions abide by their standards,” said U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon. “We look forward to the Commission keeping the Department fully informed of actions taken to ensure Columbia’s compliance with accreditation standards including compliance with federal civil rights laws.” ….

“Help the FBI protect children. As the Attorney General has made clear, we will protect our children and hold accountable those who mutilate them under the guise of gender-affirming care,” the FBI said.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is urging members of the public to submit tips about any healthcare facilities or practitioners who may be violating the nation’s laws by providing sex change surgeries for minors. The federal agency referred to such procedures as “mutilation” under the guise of “gender-affirming care,” and vowed to take enforcement action.

“Help the FBI protect children. As the Attorney General has made clear, we will protect our children and hold accountable those who mutilate them under the guise of gender-affirming care,” the FBI wrote in an X post on Monday. “Report tips of any hospitals, clinics, or practitioners performing these surgical procedures on children at 1-800-CALL-FBI or http://tips/fbi.gov.”

Trump’s approval is currently higher than ratings for Obama or Bush in their second terms. Talk about a major media fail.

The media has had Trump on blast for months, criticizing his words and every move. For them, everything is gloom and doom, and yet, the American people don’t see things that way.

Remember how the media treated Obama? For them, Obama walked on water, he could do no wrong. But despite their constant trash talk, Trump is more popular than Obama was at this point in his second term. What does that tell you?

RedState reports:

Democrats Are Going to Be Livid When They See Trump’s Latest Approval Numbers

Democrats are going to be downright livid when they learn that President Donald Trump’s approval numbers are higher than both former President Barack Obama’s and former President George W. Bush’s in their second terms at this same time, according to a new poll.

On Wednesday, RealClearPolitics’ Tom Bevan posted on X that “As of two days ago, Trump’s approval rating in the RCP Avg (47.5%) is higher than Obama’s and Bush’s at this point in their second terms.”

The outlet noted that at this same time in Obama’s presidency, his job approval sat at 47.1, and Bush’s was at 45.9. Bevan’s post included a chart that showed a visual of how Trump was ahead of both past presidents.

Nebraska governor signs law banning men from women’s sports

Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen on Wednesday signed into law the Stand With Women Act, which forbids biological males from competing in women’s sports in K-12 schools as well as at colleges and universities.

“Because of the physical differences between males and females, having separate athletic teams based on the sex of the athlete reduces the chance of injury to female athletes, promotes equality between the sexes, provides opportunities for female athletes to compete against their female peers rather than against male athletes, and allows female athletes to compete on a fair playing field for scholarships and other athletic accomplishments,” the law states.

At a signing ceremony, Pillen praised the development, saying the act “is really a big deal, for our young people, for our kids, standing up for women, and it’s a big deal standing up for the values of Nebraska.”

Prior to its passage, the bill was hotly contested, and attempts to ban biological men from women’s bathrooms and locker rooms did not make the final cut.

“We were only able to get the athletic portion on, but I will be back next year bringing you the bathrooms and the locker rooms…the work is not done,” said state Sen. Kathleen Kauth during the signing ceremony.

I think my head is going to explode…

The Supreme Court just handed down a 9-0 unanimous ruling, written by Far-Left social justice warrior Ketanji Brown, effectively ENDING “reverse discrimination”.

My head is still spinning!

Is this real life?

Here is a quick summary of what just happened:

  • In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court revived a reverse discrimination lawsuit by a straight woman denied a promotion.

  • Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson — a liberal justice — wrote the majority opinion, striking down the higher legal burden for majority-group plaintiffs.

  • Jackson said the law must apply equally, regardless of whether someone is in a minority or majority group.

  • The ruling is shocking to some, as it came from the Court’s most progressive justice, and supports claims often associated with conservatives.

  • The decision eliminates an extra hurdle for white or straight plaintiffs in discrimination cases.

  • Justice Clarence Thomas also slammed the old rule as unconstitutional and race-based.

  • The case now goes back to lower courts for further proceedings.

President Donald Trump has ordered an investigation into the alleged use of an autopen to sign pardons under the Biden administration without the former president’s knowledge.

“In recent months, it has become increasingly apparent that former President Biden’s aides abused the power of Presidential signatures through the use of an autopen to conceal Biden’s cognitive decline and assert Article II authority,” the presidential memorandum says. “This conspiracy marks one of the most dangerous and concerning scandals in American history.”

Though Biden appeared to suffer from cognitive decline, the White House issued more than 1,200 presidential documents, appointed 235 federal judges to the Federal bench, and issued many pardons and commutations.

Shortly before Christmas 2024, Biden commuted the sentences of 37 death row criminals.

Trump ordered an investigation into activity designed to hide Biden’s health from the public, agreements between Biden aides to elevate the former president’s abilities, and the circumstances around Biden’s executive actions during his final years in office, particularly policy documents signed with autopen.

The Senate on Thursday confirmed anti-aging research investor Jim O’Neill for the second-highest position at the Department of Health and Human Services, a step toward an era of deregulation in biomedical research from the highest levels of the department.

O’Neill, President Donald Trump’s nominee to serve one step below HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as deputy secretary, was confirmed on partisan lines in a vote of 52 to 43.

O’Neill’s long record of funding anti-aging research and advocacy for deregulation in bringing new health innovations to market could become a new pillar of the Make America Healthy Again agenda, reshaping federal public health programs.

During the first Trump administration, O’Neill was floated as a nominee to lead the Food and Drug Administration because of his work on FDA reform during his six-year tenure in the George W. Bush HHS. He was ultimately passed over for the role in favor of Dr. Scott Gottlieb.

The Trump administration gave Customs and Border Protection the green light to move forward with border wall projects across Arizona and New Mexico.

The Department of Homeland Security instructed CBP to ignore environmental regulations and immediately begin building 36 miles of barrier along the U.S.-Mexico border, CBP announced Thursday.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem issued a waiver, including against the National Environmental Policy Act, for the federal government to begin construction of 18- to 30-foot slatted walls and roads without having to wait for normal administrative approvals.

The largest part of the 36-mile project, 24 miles called the Tucson Sonoita Project, will go up in the Nogales, Arizona, region, and another two miles of the project will be constructed in the Tucson region of the border.

The results of a chromosome test on Olympic gold medalist Imane Khelif at the World Boxing Championships in March 2023 confirm the Algerian boxer is, as many have suspected, a biological male.

In 2023, Khelif was disqualified by the International Boxing Association (IBA) for “failing gender eligibility tests.”

The leaked medical report, first published by 3 Wire Sports on Sunday, showed Khelif’s DNA showed “markers with male karyotypes.”

A separate medical report in June 2023 found that Khelif was born with a deficiency in his sexual organs known as “5-alpha reductase type-2,” showing XY chromosomes, internal testes and a “micropenis.”

The results of a hormone test showed that Khelif had a “male-type testosterone level of 14.7.”  In females, testosterone does not exceed the level of 3.

Vermont recently amended a 2023 law that had banned pregnancy resource centers from advertising their services and permitting nonmedical staff to provide women information or counseling about pregnancy.

Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), a Christian legal nonprofit that represented pregnancy centers suing over the law, stated in a May 29 news release that Vermont will “no longer openly discriminate against the centers over their life-affirming service to their communities.”

Approved by Republican Gov. Phil Scott, the law previously did not allow pregnancy resource centers to advertise their services to pregnant women because they do not refer or commit abortions, according to another ADF release. The law had also stated that even non-medical pregnancy-related information, services, or counseling must be performed or provided by licensed health care professionals.

President Trump put California Governor Gavin “Newscum” on notice that he is imposing fines on the state of California in response to a male high school student winning two state titles in female track and field competitions.  

President Trump signed a landmark executive order in February to ensure that biological men could not compete in women’s sports. But California and other blue states have decided to defy Trump’s order and continue to allow men to compete against women.

“As Governor Gavin Newscum fully understands, large scale fines will be imposed!!!” the President said on Truth Social shortly after midnight on Tuesday.

This follows a warning from the President last week that the state is breaking the law and that “large scale Federal Funding will be held back, maybe permanently, if the Executive Order on this subject matter is not adhered to.”

“This is a totally ridiculous situation!!!” he added, noting that Governor Newsom has admitted that it’s unfair to allow boys in girls’ sports but allowed it to happen anyway.

EMU president reaffirms commitment to ‘protecting U.S. national security’

Eastern Michigan University is cutting ties with two Chinese universities following national security concerns from Republican lawmakers.

The school is ending its engineering teaching partnerships with Guangxi University and with Beibu Gulf University, according to a Wednesday news release from EMU.

The decision came in response to a February letter from Michigan Representatives John Moolenaar and Tim Walberg, urging EMU, along with Oakland University and the University of Detroit Mercy, to end their partnerships with Chinese universities.

EMU President James Smith sent a letter to the congressmen May 28 announcing the decision and reaffirming the school’s commitment to “protecting U.S. national security.”

Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) trails Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) by 22 points in the state’s Republican Senate primary, according to a new poll released on Tuesday.

The survey, which was conducted by pollster Robert Blizzard on behalf of the Educational Freedom Institute and first obtained by Punchbowl News, showed Paxton leading Cornyn 50 percent to 28 percent among Republican primary voters.

Paxton expanded his lead among voters described as “very conservative GOP primary voters,” leading Cornyn 60 percent to 22 percent. Among voters described as “high propensity 3/3 GOP primary voters,” Paxton leads Cornyn by 30 points. The poll also showed Paxton leading Cornyn by 35 points among “MAGA voters” and by 12 points among senior voters.

The poll is the latest in a string of data points showing the incumbent senator trailing the conservative primary challenger. Last week, a poll from the Barbara Jordan Public Policy Research and Survey Center at Texas Southern University showed Paxton leading in a hypothetical two-way contest with 43 percent to Cornyn’s 34 percent, and 23 percent unsure.

Key takeaways

  • Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo says he would not sign a bill legalizing assisted suicide because it is “unnecessary” due to palliative care expansion and improvements in pain management.
  • The bill’s sponsor has attempted multiple times to pass the bill and vowed to continue trying.
  • Eleven states plus Washington, D.C., have legalized assisted suicide, with Delaware the most recent.

The details

Assembly Bill 346 would have legalized physician-assisted suicide in the state for terminally-ill adults age 18 and over.

Lombardo, a Republican, has vetoed assisted suicide legislation in the past; in April, he released a statement saying he would do so again. Lombardo cited advancements in palliative care as a reason why he is against assisted suicide.

A new investigation has been launched that could produce shocking new revelations about former President Joe Biden and his questionable use of the autopen. A growing number of individuals have decried the use of autopen signatures, claiming it is further evidence that the previous administration was aware of Biden’s cognitive decline and took steps to cover it up.

Critics claim the president was not capable of making final decisions on policies that would become law, thus someone whom the American people did not elect was leading the government.

A senior official within President Donald Trump’s Justice Department informed staff on Monday that he has received orders to launch an investigation into the clemency given to Biden in the final days of his presidency to both members of his family and inmates on death row.

DOJ pardon attorney Ed Martin penned an email obtained by Reuters that said the new investigation will look into whether the former president “was competent and whether others were taking advantage of him through use of AutoPen or other means.”

“An autopen is a device used to automatically affix a signature to a document. Trump and his supporters have made a variety of unfounded claims that Biden’s use of the device while president invalidated his actions or suggested that he was not fully aware of these actions. It is not known whether Biden used autopen on pardons,” Reuters explained.
