Planned Parenthood Admits the Abortion Pill is Dangerous– www.lifenews.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

Planned Parenthood has admitted that the abortion pill can be dangerous. This was pointed out by American Life League in what its national director Katie Brown Xavios labeled a “rare moment of honest transparency.”

“Planned Parenthood has confirmed the dangers that American Life League has been warning about for decades. No, abortion pills are NOT safe, especially when they come from an unregulated source,” stated Xavios. “The irony in all this falls on the fact that Planned Parenthood themselves refer women directly to these online vendors that send pills recklessly and without any authorization or regulation. But let’s not forget, even the ‘safest’ pills still result in a dead baby. The business of abortion pills is never safe, for mom or for baby, and Planned Parenthood is to blame.”

Venezuela Debuts Website to Report ‘Unjust Deportations’ of Illegals from U.S.– www.breitbart.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

Venezuela’s socialist regime launched a new website Tuesday that allows individuals to report alleged “unjust deportations” of Venezuelan illegal migrants from the United States “before it’s too late.”

The website is managed by the “Committee for the Defense of Venezuelan Migrants,” an organization directly affiliated with the Venezuelan socialist regime that describes itself as an organization “committed to the defense and promotion of human rights focused on denouncing and making visible the situation of Venezuelan migrants in the U.S.”

“We are a collective committed to the defense and promotion of human rights focused on denouncing and making visible the particular situation of vulnerability of Venezuelan citizens in the United States, whose presidential policy has been dedicated to stigmatize migration,” the website reads. “The persecution, imprisonment and deportation of Venezuelans without due process is an aberration that should not be indifferent to us and that constitutes an anachronistic and illegal act that evokes the most nefarious episodes of human history.”

The release of Kennedy assassination files Tuesday stirred up a hornet’s nest of social media speculation about a crime that changed history more than six decades ago.

And one particular element — the tale of a would-be whistleblower with ties to the CIA — seemed to be gaining traction more than others.

But while the story itself wasn’t new, one element of it hadn’t been public before.

Emily Brooks, a reporter for Beltway-centric news organization The Hill, published a post about it to the social media platform X.

Hillary Clinton spoke at the World Forum on the Future of Democracy, Tech, and Humankind on Tuesday, immediately slamming America under Trump’s leadership as marching towards autocracy.

She said that at a forum in … Germany.

“There’s no way to sugarcoat it. There’s no way to explain it away,” she said less than 60 seconds into her speech. “Autocracy is on the March, and we now have a government in the United States that has thrown in its lot with the autocrats.”

That government, she continued, “has made a choice to support those who wage war, not peace, who has given enormous power to the men who control the information flow in our world, who have all pledged allegiance to the continuation of algorithms that not only addict us, but poison us with hatred and fear.”

Trump Education Department Says Maine Violated Civil Rights Laws By Allowing Men In Women’s Sports– dailycaller.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

The Department of Education (ED) announced Wednesday it has found the Maine Department of Education in violation of civil rights laws for continuing to allow men to compete in women’s sports.

Ed opened an investigation into the state in February after a public spat between President Donald Trump and Democratic Maine Gov. Janet Mills during which the governor declined to comply with Trump’s ban on men in women’s sports. The investigation concluded the state “has policies and practices that are in violation of Title IX,” according to a press release.

“The outcome of OCR’s investigation of MDOE confirms that it has violated federal antidiscrimination law by allowing boys to compete in girls’ sports and boys to occupy girls’ intimate facilities,” Craig Trainor, acting assistant secretary for Civil Rights at the department said in a statement. “Today’s findings and proposed resolution agreement demonstrate to MDOE and any other entity receiving federal funding that the Trump Administration will not tolerate unlawful discrimination against girls and women. If Maine does not swiftly and completely come into compliance with Title IX, we will initiate the process to limit MDOE’s access to federal funding.”

House Dems Ramp Up Calls for Schumer’s Resignation as Donors Lament ‘Despair and Hopelessness’– freebeacon.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

Democratic politicians and donors are sounding the alarm over the party’s discord during President Donald Trump’s second term, with House Democrats calling for Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) to step down.

Reps. Delia Ramirez (D., Ill.) and Glenn Ivey (D., Md.) are openly supporting Schumer’s ouster, with another House Democrat telling Axios that other members of the caucus would join them but “just haven’t been asked directly or avoided the question.”

Schumer last week voted with Republicans to advance a bill that averted a government shutdown, prompting widespread Democratic backlash. A petition to withhold donations to Senate Democrats until they oust Schumer as leader has amassed around 25,000 signatures as of Tuesday afternoon.

The Schumer situation is part of Democrats’ general failure “to land on a unified message to effectively confront Trump,” CNN reported based on conversations with Democratic donors and activists. Atlanta-area fundraiser Maggie Kulyk, for example, described the party’s situation as “astoundingly bad.”

Trump’s message shakes the pillars of Khamenei’s regime– www.americanthinker.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

On March 17, 2025, Donald Trump issued a significant statement on his Truth Social account. This firm and threatening message explicitly holds Khamenei’s regime accountable for the actions of the Houthis in Yemen, aiming to exert direct pressure on Iran’s leadership. Trump’s statement carries several key aspects.

In his statement, Trump wrote:

 

Let nobody be fooled! The hundreds of attacks being made by Houthi, the sinister mobsters and thugs based in Yemen, who are hated by the Yemeni people, all emanate from, and are created by, IRAN. Any further attack or retaliation by the ‘Houthis’ will be met with great force, and there is no guarantee that that force will stop there. Iran has played ‘the innocent victim’ of rogue terrorists from which they’ve lost control, but they haven’t lost control. They’re dictating every move, giving them the weapons, supplying them with money and highly sophisticated Military equipment, and even, so-called, ‘Intelligence.’ Every shot fired by the Houthis will be looked upon, from this point forward, as being a shot fired from the weapons and leadership of IRAN, and IRAN will be held responsible, and suffer the consequences, and those consequences will be dire!

U.S. appeals court rules AI-generated works ineligible for copyright protection – Capture
Source Link
Excerpt:

The case revolved around Stephen Thaler, a computer scientist who sought copyright protection for an artwork titled A Recent Entrance to Paradise, which was generated by his AI system, the “Creativity Machine.” Thaler applied for copyright registration in 2018, naming the AI as the creator and himself as the owner.

However, the U.S. Copyright Office rejected his request, citing the requirement for human authorship in copyright law. Thaler challenged the ruling, but both the U.S. District Court and the Court of Appeals upheld the Copyright Office’s decision.

In its ruling, the appellate court reaffirmed that U.S. copyright law mandates human authorship. The court highlighted that multiple provisions of the Copyright Act presuppose a human creator, further solidifying the requirement that only works with human involvement can qualify for copyright registration.

Democrats ask Trump to remove Patel as acting ATF director – The Hill
Source Link
Excerpt:

A group of Democrats are calling on President Trump to remove FBI Director Kash Patel as the acting director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).

Fourteen Democratic members of the House Gun Violence Prevention Task Force, chaired by Rep. Mike Thompson (D-Calif.), expressed “grave concerns” over Patel’s leadership position at the agency in a letter to Trump dated March 3 and shared on social media by Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) on Tuesday.

“As you are aware, ATF is the lead law enforcement agency responsible for addressing the gun violence epidemic in our country. At a time when gun violence is the leading cause of death for children and teenagers in the United States, it is unconscionable that someone without experience fighting crime, responding to mass shootings or confronting domestic terrorism has been named as ATF’s Acting Director,” the Democrats wrote.

Trump’s ‘Moved Beyond’ Critical Deal, White House Confirms Grander Plans– www.westernjournal.com

Excerpt:

Well before politics were even a glint in his eye, President Donald Trump often boasted about his business acumen and mastery of “the art of the deal.”

Now nearing close to a decade in the political spotlight, Trump is showing that he still holds both of those values quite dearly.

While answering questions during her Wednesday media session, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that Trump has “moved beyond” the ballyhooed Ukraine mineral deal — and onto something much bigger.

“We have moved beyond the economic mineral deal,” Leavitt told the New York Post.

Apparently, Trump has now set his sights on two bigger targets in the region, the first being taking over Ukraine’s military facilities.

The Rutherford County Library Board in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, voted on March 17 to remove books promoting transgender themes to minors from its library system.

The decision came after a contentious two-hour meeting attended by over 100 community members at the Historic Rutherford County Courthouse.

The board’s resolution mandates the removal of materials that “promote, encourage, advocate for or normalize transgenderism or ‘gender confusion’ in minors.”

The 5-3 vote in favor of removing the books elicited cheers from supporters and shouts of “Nazis!” from opponents.

Ron DeSantis Proposes Solution to Stop the ‘Sabotaging of President Trump’s Agenda’ by Federal Judges– www.westernjournal.com

Article III of the United States Constitution makes one remedy for judicial tyranny as plain as language can make it.

“The judicial Power of the United States,” Section I of Article III begins, “shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish.”

With that plain language undoubtedly in mind, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida took to the social media platform X Wednesday morning to offer a historically plausible solution to the problem of inferior federal judges who have insisted upon “sabotaging” President Donald Trump’s popular agenda.

Michigan State University opens $38 million ‘sanctuary’ for ‘minorities’– www.thecollegefix.com

Center could ‘conflict with Trump’s executive order,’ education expert says

Michigan State University recently opened a $38 million Multicultural Center to act as a “sanctuary” for “minorities” with rooms designated for “diversity, equity, and inclusion” student groups.

An education expert told The College Fix the center could violate President Donald Trump’s recent executive order banning DEI initiatives in federally funded institutions.

“The MSU Multicultural Center (MCC), guided by a student-developed mission, aims to provide a supportive space for students from historically oppressed backgrounds to learn, grow, and access the resources necessary to succeed and graduate from a predominantly white institution,” the room reservation page for the center states.

Further, “the building will be a sanctuary for all minorities at MSU,” the center’s feasibility report states. It will also allow “an opportunity for others to acknowledge the past, learn about who we are today, and grow by not fearing what they don’t understand or haven’t had the chance to experience.”

White House avoiding ‘iffy territory’ by pausing deportation flights: Byron York– www.washingtonexaminer.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

Byron York suggested that the Trump administration is possibly seeking to avoid legal trouble by pausing its deportation flights after a recent court order was issued.

The White House confirmed on Wednesday that it is currently not planning further deportation flights for the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. This comes after Chief Judge James Boasberg in Washington’s district court ordered a two-week halt of the deportations on Saturday.

In the wake of this news, York noted how Trump himself has said that his administration will not defy a court order, and the White House’s move is due to the administration seeking to stay out of “iffy territory” amid litigation.

“I thought an important point in the briefing was Karoline Leavitt trying to place all of the lawsuits that the Trump Administration is facing, I don’t know how many there are right now, she tried to place them all as a continuation of the lawfare that President Trump experienced both when he was in office the first time, his four years out of office, and now as president again,” York, the Washington Examiner’s chief political correspondent, said on Fox News’s America Reports.

DOGE plays hardball in U.S. Institute of Peace takeover – The Washington Post
Source Link
Excerpt:

Following President Donald Trump’s Feb. 19 executive order targeting nonexecutive branch foreign aid and peacemaking agencies for elimination, agents of DOGE, the White House-based organization overseen by Elon Musk, have moved to take over entities both small and large.

DOGE, which stands for Department of Government Efficiency, took over the U.S. Institute of Peace on Monday after threatening its officials with criminal prosecution. Its president was removed from its headquarters with the assistance of the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, the FBI and D.C. police.

In seizing control of the 40-year-old Washington institution, founded and funded directly by Congress and employing about 600 people here and overseas, DOGE emptied the building and installed DOGE agent Kenneth Jackson as acting USIP president. Jackson is also titled as a board member of several other far smaller agencies similarly emptied, and he was nominated by Trump as a senior official at the U.S. Agency for International Development.

The Israeli American Trump Mega-Donor Behind Speech Crackdowns– www.truthdig.com

Excerpt:

 

The Trump administration’s effort to deport a Columbia University graduate student, Mahmoud Khalil, in retaliation for Khalil’s role in campus protests opposing Israel’s war in Gaza, showed the lengths the White House is prepared to go to police speech about Israel.

The administration’s unprecedented decision to seek the deportation of a U.S. permanent resident without bringing any criminal charges has an overlooked ally, however: the largest financier of Trump’s three presidential campaigns, Israeli American billionaire Miriam Adelson.

Adelson’s support for the administration’s campaign to stifle criticism of Israel on college campuses isn’t a new focus, but her alignment with the levers of state powers to implement her vision are unprecedented. In fact, tax documents reveal that she is directly overseeing a social media campaign targeting Khalil and Columbia University.

Experts have only themselves to blame for the distrust of institutions– www.washingtonexaminer.com

Excerpt:

Now they tell us.

“We were badly misled about the event that changed our lives.” So reads the headline on Princeton professor Zeynep Tufekci’s March 16 article in the New York Times. The event was, of course, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the bad misleading came from scientists who purposefully discredited the now-widely accepted theory that the virus originated from a leak in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Perhaps not entirely coincidentally, the New York Times article appeared one day short of five years from the publication in Nature Medicine of an article by five scientists, led by Kristian Andersen, titled “The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2.” “We do not believe,” the article states, “that any type of laboratory-based scenario is plausible.”

Trump’s Energy Secretary Offers Africa Freedom From Biden’s Climate Imperialism– americanactionnews.com

U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright has signaled a change that could mean the difference between life and death for millions in Africa. Speaking at the “Powering Africa Summit” in Washington, D.C., Wright told leaders of a continent of 1.5 billion people that the Trump administration “has no desire to tell you what to do with your energy system.” This is a departure from the Biden regime, which was aligned with much of the Western climate juggernaut imposing Green New Dealism on developing countries that couldn’t afford it and stood to suffer by it.

“It’s a paternalistic post-colonial attitude that I just can’t stand,” Wright said of the climate evangelism that sought to force others to abandon fossil fuels and adopt largely useless technologies like solar and wind energy.

Late last week, Donald Trump went to the Department of Justice and, once again, threatened his political enemies with unlawful prosecutions. Referring to himself as “the chief law enforcement officer in our country,” he called for the agency to prosecute everybody from former special counsel Jack Smith to MSNBC and CNN to (apparently) anybody who writes or says mean things about him or his pet judge, Aileen Cannon. Even lawyer Norm Eisen, cofounder of The Contrarian (a freaking Substack), was singled out as a potential target.

Excerpt:

The Pew Religious Landscape Study (RLS) for Catholics from 2007, 2014, and 2023-24 offers a sobering glimpse into this crisis for traditional Catholics rooted in the Magisterium’s truths: for every 100 Catholics entering, 800 Catholics leave, prayer is declining, belief in God is plummeting, and a super majority supports issues deemed morally evil by the Church – demographically propped up by immigrants yet spiritually adrift.

While the sharp declines from 2007 to 2014 have slowed by 2023-24, the downward trend persists, demanding urgent reflection.

Trump eyes Ukraine’s power plants, as he pushes peace plan on Zelensky– www.washingtonexaminer.com

‘A FANTASTIC PHONE CONVERSATION’: President Donald Trump is a big fan of being told what he wants to hear, and both Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky have played to that character trait to stay on Trump’s good side while pursuing their own agendas.

In a one-hour phone call with Trump yesterday, Zelensky was heavy on gratitude while treading carefully about his reservations as he discussed the next steps in Trump’s plan to end the war and divide up Ukraine by ceding a large swath of the east to Russia.

It was “a fantastic phone conversation,” according to a readout provided by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and national security adviser Mike Waltz. “Zelensky thanked President Trump for the support of the United States, especially the Javelin missiles that President Trump was first to provide, and his efforts towards peace.”

Democrats in Congress Drive Luxury Cars on Taxpayer Dime– freebeacon.com
Source Link
Excerpt:

Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D., Texas) declared in February that the government is “not in the business of giving out money” to taxpayers. But when it comes to the simple luxuries in her own life, the firebrand lawmaker is happy to let the public foot the bill.

That includes her taxpayer-funded car. Crockett has billed the public $999.96 every month since she assumed office in January 2023 to pay for a “vehicle lease,” according to House disbursement records reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon. It’s unclear the make and model of Crockett’s publicly financed whip—lawmakers are not required to disclose that information and her office did not return a request for comment—but it’s enough to pay for a Tesla Model S, Elon Musk’s luxury sports sedan, which leases for $998 per month.

Crockett obtained her taxpayer-funded vehicle through a little-known fringe benefit that allows representatives to bill the public for a fresh set of EPA-approved wheels to traverse their congressional districts. Some 42 lawmakers participated in the program in 2024, including 15 Republican participants who represent geographically expansive districts that average 18,100 square miles each. The Republican participants primarily leased economy vehicles from American manufacturers, with several of their offices telling the Free Beacon that leasing a vehicle is a far more cost-effective way for the lawmakers to traverse their massive districts as opposed to paying for airfare or using their personal vehicle at the IRS reimbursement rate of 67 cents per mile.

Venezuelan deportation judge “beating a dead horse,” DOJ says in scathing reply – Axios

Excerpt:

The Department of Justice continued Wednesday to push back against a federal judge’s request for information about Venezuelan migrant deportations and whether it defied a court order, saying the request is “continuing to beat a dead horse.”

The big picture: It’s the latest response in the back and forth between the Trump administration and U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, who has repeatedly requested that the government provide details on the migrant deportation flights conducted over the weekend.

  • Boasberg extended the filing deadline to Thursday from Tuesday’s initial deadline for the DOJ to answer his questions regarding flight departure times and the passengers aboard the flights.
  • When the DOJ resisted answering in its Tuesday filing citing concerns about “sensitive information bearing on foreign relations” being made public, Boasberg agreed they could do so under seal.
