The Border Crossing Numbers That Democrats Don’t Want You to See – PJ Media– pjmedia.com

Excerpt:

In his speech to Congress last month, President Donald Trump called out Joe Biden and the Democrats for falsely claiming that it would take new legislation to secure the border because border crossings went down significantly on Trump’s watch, proving that “all we really needed was a new president.”

Illegal crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border dropped once again in March, plummeting to a historic low, with Border Patrol encountering just over 7,000 for the entirety of March.

Border Czar Tom Homan praised Trump’s leadership for achieving a stunning drop in illegal border crossings in a post on X.

“President Trump’s leadership continues to break records! Border Patrol encounters for the month of March were just 7,181 total,” Homan wrote, emphasizing the historic significance of the figures. “I started as a Border Patrol Agent in 1984, which was 41 years ago. I cannot recall a single month since then that the numbers have been that low.”

Telsa owners are now on high alert as their cars are being targeted across the country.

In a video posted to social media platform X on Thursday by Tesla Owners Silcon Valley, a man narrated a moment he captured on his Tesla’s sentry camera, appearing to show a red Chevy Trailblazer running his car off the road.

“He is running me off the freaking road,” the Tesla driver explained, pointing to the Chevy on the screen.

“Look at this. This is just insane,” he continued as the Trailblazer could cleary be seen veering into his lane.

“What is wrong with people? This is just crazy,” he asked almost in disbelief.

Before commenting, the possibility should be addressed that this was a simple mistake.

Do you think this was a deliberate would-be sideswipe?

Excerpt:

California has doled out nearly $18 million in taxpayer funding to the left-wing Tides Center since Gavin Newsom (D.) became governor in 2019, a Washington Free Beacon review of state spending records found. Thanks to the way the dark money behemoth operates, it’s a mystery whether the money goes to any of the far-left groups it supports.

That setup allows the state to obscure which group actually gets taxpayer dollars after it awards contracts or grants to the Tides Center. The Golden State’s spending database shows that 18 agencies, ranging from health departments to workplace regulators, sent payments to the George Soros-backed nonprofit. The database does not reveal which project gets the cash in the end. State officials also told the Free Beacon that the database is missing information from some departments, meaning total payments to the Tides Center could eclipse the nearly $18 million shown.

The Tides Center essentially acts like a middle man, funneling hundreds of millions of dollars every year to a network of seemingly independent charitable organizations—primarily progressive activist groups. But unlike traditional nonprofits, these groups are housed within the Tides Center as so-called fiscally sponsored projects, enabling them to operate as charities while sidestepping the IRS’s robust financial transparency requirements for tax-exempt groups.

The U.S. Army Reserve is taking “appropriate action” against a captain who claimed the Trump administration is attempting to erase transgender people, the Daily Caller can confirm.

On “Transgender Day of Visibility,” a soldier who identified as Christina Winters posted a video on TikTok criticizing the Trump administration under the username “alexandrahamilton01.”

Captain Winters slammed the Trump administration for its recent actions related to transgender individuals, including a prohibition on transgender people serving in the military and a ban on medical facilities providing sex changes for minors.

“The current administration wants us to not be visible, they want us to be invisible, they want to remove us from society,” Winters alleged. “They want to ensure that we are disenfranchised, that we no longer have a voice, that we no longer have the right to enter any space that is safe.”

He’s a nepo baby and he knows it.

New York City socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani suggested that he only received a plush job on the 2016 Disney film Queen of Katwe because his mother was the director. Mamdani, 33, made the admission with a smile during an interview with the South African radio station Kaya FM 95.9 in October of that year. The aspiring mayor served on the flick as a music supervisor and “third assistant director,” according to IMDb. He was also given a cameo screen role.

“I actually created a playlist for Mira, who also happens to be my mother—you know, nepotism and hard work goes a long way,” Mamdani told Kaya FM interviewer Kgomotso Meso. Throughout the 11-minute interview, he speaks with an affected South African accent, at times adjusting his grammar to reflect the local patois. “Come watch this film, you get the sound proper,” he says at one point.

The increasingly authoritarian nature of the British government is back in the spotlight this week after news broke that police arrested, interrogated, and jailed parents in Hertfordshire, England, for complaining about school policy and criticizing school leaders in a private group chat.

All this comes as the town’s new constable is set to release a report on the incident.

It all started in May 2024, when Maxie Allen, whose daughter Sascha, 9, was attending Cowley Hill Primary School, contacted the chair of governors of the school to question the hiring process of its new head teacher. Allen noted that despite the former head teacher having retired six months earlier, the school had not publicly posted the job and had instead given it to the former deputy head teacher.

Allen says that the chair’s response was “evasive,” so he sent a letter to all the school governors asking about the decision not to open recruitment to other candidates.

Allen posted the letter in a private WhatsApp parents’ group.

The next month, Jackie Spriggs, who is the chair of governors, wrote a letter to parents claiming that parents were using WhatsApp “to make inflammatory and defamatory comments about senior leaders in the school.”

The National Science Foundation (NSF) claims to be the place “where discoveries begin” — but it funded programs where free speech ends. When The Federalist asked if it still funds anti-“misinformation” tools, a representative simply pointed to its public grants database, which lists censorship projects funded during the Biden administration.

The public-interest law firm Alliance Defending Freedom sent NSF records requests in February to uncover any coordination between the federal agency and internet communications monopolies such as Google and Facebook.

NSF funds one-quarter of all federally funded academic fundamental research projects at U.S. higher education institutions, and funds technology development at approximately 400 “small businesses” each year. It has an annual budget of $8.5 billion. It also funds programs that exclude recipients based on race, according to an NSF factsheet.

The NSF’s “Convergence Accelerator,” which funds special research projects, launched a “cohort track” in 2021 for “Trust & Authenticity in Communication Systems.” Recipients developed software to control online speech labeled “misinformation” about politically sensitive topics including Covid-19 treatments and election integrity.

Former Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra announced that he is entering the race for California governor.

In a video released on Wednesday, Becerra declared that he plans to seek the governor’s seat to replace current Gov. Gavin Newsom.

“Hi, I’m Javier Becerra, and you may have heard, I am running to be governor of our great state of California. And that’s because I watched my parents, a construction worker and a clerical worker, achieve the California dream,” he said on the video.

Can we do that today with this affordability crisis? Very tough. But we’ve taken on these tough fights. California has succeeded in those tough fights and become the economic engine of this country. We can do that, but you need a leader who can be tough. And I’ve been in those tough fights, whether it was as a member of Congress, when we helped draft and pass the Affordable Care Act, when I was attorney general for our great state of California, and I took on the Trump administration the first time, sued him over 100 times and won, or whether as Secretary of Health and Human Services, I took on the pharmaceutical industry and we negotiated lower prescription drug prices for seniors under Medicare.

The Trump administration took a one-two punch to two of the most prominent Ivy League institutions in the nation this week, yanking, suspending, and putting under review billions of dollars worth of federal grants and contracts.

With that, a total of four Ivy League universities have been targeted in the last month by the administration, which has cited various concerns, including rampant antisemitism, diversity, equity and inclusion-based discrimination, and women’s rights issues.

On Monday, the Education Department, Health and Human Services, and General Services Administration announced their joint task force will review “more than $8.7 billion in multi-year grant commitments to Harvard University and its affiliates to ensure the university is in compliance with federal regulations, including its civil rights responsibilities.”

“Harvard’s failure to protect students on campus from anti-Semitic discrimination – all while promoting divisive ideologies over free inquiry – has put its reputation in serious jeopardy. Harvard can right these wrongs and restore itself to a campus dedicated to academic excellence and truth-seeking, where all students feel safe on its campus,” Education Secretary Linda McMahon stated.

It’s not like they’re hard to spot already… All I had to do was look for the trail of kids.

They were confident enough in their ideology to stomp and scream at our Capitol building with bright picket signs, but not enough to elaborate why they were present.

When I tried to ask, the mob grew violent as an enraged Rosie O’Donnell stunt double grabbed my microphone and chucked it yards away.

House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan is asking top House appropriators to add language to the appropriations bills to clamp down on out-of-control federal judges.

In a letter to Appropriations Committee Chair Tom Cole (R-Okla.), Jordan urged House Republicans to make a move to support Trump.

The Ohio Republican also said he wants language to funding for the issuance and enforcement of nationwide injunctions. That would include the use of court resources to compel compliance, fines or contempt proceedings related to such injunctions.

“These steps would reinforce the proper limits of judicial power and ensure that taxpayer resources support a judiciary that respects its constitutional role,” Jordan wrote.

The California legislature rejected two bills seeking to ban men from participating in women’s sports on Tuesday, with some lawmakers calling it “cruel.”

One of the bill’s lawmakers voted to block “would have required the California Interscholastic Federation, the governing body for high school sports, to adopt rules banning students whose sex was assigned male at birth from participating on a girls’ school sports team,” noted The Associated Press.

The other bill would have reversed a 2013 law allowing students to participate in sex-segregated school programs, including on sports teams, and use bathrooms and other facilities that align with their gender identity.”

Both bills would have applied to K-12 students as well as college students.

Republicans supported the bill, arguing it would protect women, while Democrats denounced it as a cruel attack on LGBTQ rights and transgender youth.

“I don’t think anybody should be gender policing women and girls,” said Democratic Assemblymember Chris Ward.

‘Settlement acknowledges that Bruce Gilley should not have been blocked for quoting one of our founding documents,’ attorney says

The University of Oregon has agreed to enact free speech reforms to ensure it does not block or censor social media posts to settle a two-and-a-half year old lawsuit with a conservative professor who had been blocked from the institution’s X account after his “all men are created equal” post.

The settlement requires the University of Oregon to clarify social media guidelines to explicitly protect speech from viewpoint-based censorship, create an appeals process for those who believe they were wrongfully blocked, and conduct annual First Amendment training for staff who manage university social media accounts, said attorneys representing Professor Bruce Gilley in a news release.

The university will also pay for some of Gilley’s attorneys fees, the release stated. Inside Higher Ed reported that the “university agreed in the settlement that its insurer would pay from $95,000 to $382,000 in attorneys’ fees to Gilley’s representatives — the Institute for Free Speech and the Angus Lee Law Firm.”

The Trump administration knew it would face opposition; this isn’t their first rodeo. It doesn’t make it any less infuriating, however. The only difference is that the president has an army of lawyers and an attorney general at the helm to help defend his lawful executive orders aimed at securing the border, deporting illegal aliens, reducing regulations, and rebuilding our military. You saw how many he signed on day one of his presidency. Members of the Republican Study Committee spoke about this on their recent podcast.

Elections are supposed to be decided at the ballot box, not in the courtroom—unless you’re French or, in this country, a liberal.

What a judge in France has just done by disqualifying Marine Le Pen from running in that nation’s next presidential election is what Democrats dream of doing here.

The controversial populist was ahead in the polls, but now Le Pen isn’t even eligible to run, thanks to a court that found her guilty of using European Union funds to pay for political expenses.

She insists the spending was legitimate, but as things stand French voters won’t get to decide for themselves who’s right.

Israel Says It Will Lift All Tariffs on U.S. Goods – PJ Media– pjmedia.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich announced and signed a plan to eliminate any remaining tariffs targeting U.S. imports. The move came in advance of Donald Trump’s announcement on Wednesday that a new schedule of duties would be imposed on foreign products.

Israel and the U.S. have had a free trade agreement since 1985 that excludes about 98% of American products from Israeli tariffs. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appears to be trying to get out in front of any possible announcement on tariffs on Israel from the White House.

“Today we canceled all of the customs duties levied on products from the U.S., Israel’s largest trading partner,” Netanyahu said in a post on X. “Canceling the customs duties on American goods is an additional step in the policy that my government has led for a decade in opening up the market to competition.”

The lifting of tariffs on U.S. goods still needs approval of the Knesset, where it’s expected to pass.

New York Times:

Total U.S. trade with Israel amounted to an estimated $37 billion in 2024, and the U.S. bilateral deficit stood at $7.4 billion, an 8.6 percent increase over the previous year, according to U.S. trade data. Israeli import taxes on U.S. goods amount to $11.3 million annually, with most levied on food, according to Israel’s finance ministry.

Israel isn’t the only nation trying to forestall Trump’s action on tariffs directed against it. Previously, Mexico sent cartel leaders across the border to stand trial in the U.S. It also sent troops to the border to break up fentanyl rings. Other responses weren’t very friendly.

 

Canada, the European Union, and China imposed retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods even before Trump’s official announcement. Unless Trump withdraws or modifies his threats of high tariffs, prices of many consumer goods will rise.

Smotrich is calculating that Trump will reciprocate and lower trade barriers to Israeli goods.

Smotrich’s initiative will still have to be approved by the Israeli Knesset, where agricultural interests enjoy significant influence. There will be a rearguard action in the effort to defend the protectionist schemes from which Israeli farmers benefit. But while the Smotrich plan is not a done deal, Israel’s vital security interests depend so heavily on American support that Israeli domestic interests may have to take a back seat to its near-term foreign policy objectives.

If Trump’s true objective is to compel America’s trading partners to drop their tariffs, to which he would respond by lowering America’s trade barriers, Israel’s maneuver should compel the administration to make some concessions. The American trade balance with Israel isn’t enormous, but it’s not nothing, either. The U.S. imports Israeli commodities like stone, metals, and glass, but it also takes in finished Israeli products like industrial machinery, chemicals, plastics, and rubber.

 

The tariffs are a calculated gamble by Trump, hoping to jump-start U.S. exports in a less restrictive, more competitive international trade atmosphere. If it works, it will revolutionize the American economy. If it doesn’t, we may be paying a lot more for everything we buy from overseas.

President Trump is livid after learning that four Senate Republicans are reportedly prepared to vote to sabotage his tariff policy on Canada.

As Fox News reported, leftist Senator Tim Kaine (D-VA) has sponsored a resolution joint resolution that would terminate the national emergency Trump declared regarding illicit drugs and Canada. Trump has argued tariffs are necessary not just to curb the drug flow but also to rebalance an unfair trading relationship between the two countries.

The Senate is scheduled to vote on Kaine’s resolution this afternoon. While passage would not mean the tariffs evaporate, considering the House is unlikely to ever vote on the measure, voting against Canadian tariffs would hand the Democrats a powerful talking point and humiliate Trump in the process.

To add insult to injury, the vote is taking place on what Trump has declared “Liberation Day,” where he is set to unleash new reciprocal tariffs to bring back American jobs.
