EXCERPT:
Gun stores in Virginia are seeing sales surge as residents of the state buy up firearms and ammo trying to beat the effective dates of new gun controls.
The Fauquier Times noted, “Early indicators suggest Virginians are responding to a slate of proposed gun-control legislation with a noticeable spike in firearm background checks — a sign that gun sales are on the rise.”
Congressional and campaign staffers for Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) have condemned the recent sexual assault allegations against their embattled boss, urging the public to support the four accusers.
“As leaders of teams working for Eric Swalwell, we’re horrified by the recent reporting in the San Francisco Chronicle and by CNN,” more than a dozen staffers said in an unsigned statement on Saturday. “We stand with our former colleague, and the other women who have come forward. We believe you should stand with them, too.”
Intrepid reporter Laura Loomer has uncovered video and documents that disqualifies Abdul Sayel from office and triggers serious legal scrutiny.
Michigan Democratic Senate candidate, Abdul El-Sayed signed a past pledge supporting Mohamed Morsi, the former Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood president.
The clip from Michigan gubernatorial candidate Abdul El-Sayed’s exchange with Republican Sen. Patrick Colbeck has reemerged as he campaigns for U.S. Senate, drawing fresh scrutiny over his response to claims of Sharia support and Muslim Brotherhood ties. He signed a statement backing Egypt’s Mohamed Morsi. And rallies on campus with figures like anti-America, anti-Jew inciter Hasan Piker.
Abdul El Sayed, the jihadi candidate, continues to run for office, lose and run and run again. Who is funding this election jihad? Who in the Democrat party continues to puts forth these enemies of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?
🚨 EXCLUSIVE VIDEO 🚨
Muslim Michigan Democrat US Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed @AbdulElSayed caught on camera telling Michigan voters who criticized his refusal to condemn Sharia Law, “you might not hate Muslims, but Muslims definitely hate you!”
Iran’s leadership is facing new questions after a report claimed the country’s newly installed supreme leader is no longer able to function in his role just weeks after taking power.
According to The Times, Mojtaba Khamenei is “incapacitated and receiving medical treatment” in the city of Qom.
The report cites a diplomatic memo based on U.S. and Israeli intelligence shared with Gulf allies.
Intelligence Memo Raises Serious Questions
The memo reportedly describes Khamenei as suffering from a “severe condition.”
The unidentified condition has left him “unable to be involved in any decision-making by the regime.”
The claims, if accurate, would signal a major disruption at the top of Iran’s ruling structure during a period of heightened regional tensions.
After President Trump took out Soleimani, you would think that his relatives wouldn’t be allowed to spread anti-American hate in the United States. Turns out the State Department is just getting around to it. An F-15E was struck down over Iran, and American special forces went in to recover the missing pilots. Europe just doesn’t understand why it matters. X has become a right wing echo chamber. At least, Nate Silver thinks so. Let’s try to figure out his logic.
A “shocking” number of former female employees and interns are preparing to come forward to accuse Rep. Eric Swalwell (|D-Calif.) of sexual misconduct, according to a Democrat activist.
Cheyenne Hunt, a lawyer, former congressional candidate and executive director of the left-wing nonprofit Gen-Z for Change, revealed on X Sunday, that she has been working with a number of women who are in the process of sharing their accusations with major news outlets. Hunt said she knew of a separate and “much larger group” of women who are also currently in the process of sharing their stories.
Swalwell’s alleged inappropriate sexual behavior is said to be an “open secret” in Washington DC, as is his alleged practice of forcing underlings to sign nondisclosure agreements.
Hunt posted an initial video on Instagram in late March accusing Swalwell of having “a known history of being predatory towards women.” She cited a woman who told her: “You know Eric Swalwell has slept with many of his interns and makes them all sign NDAs so they don’t speak up, right? And when I was 19 he tried hitting on me and sliding into my DMs and I have so many other friends that have similar experiences with him.”
Hunt said the allegation was “not an anomaly” but “part of a pattern.”
Democrats: Trump is totalitarian.
Democrat state congressional candidate: Yes! Also, take away the internet access of his supporters for four years so they can’t say anything.
Democrats: Don’t see any contradiction there!
That, at least, is the tacit message being sent by the national party and one of their more prominent state legislature candidates, Suzanna Karatassos. She’s running to be the party’s nominee in House District 120 — typically a Republican seat, but you never know in a midterm year with an important Democratic U.S. Senate seat to hold onto.
Karatassos describes herself as “a wife and mother in Georgia” who wants “to see Georgia thrive and for all our citizens to be able to lead a life of prosperity with dignity.” And that requires the right to political expression, which she says is being stifled.
“The foundation of our democracy is the right to vote, and every Georgian deserves to have their voice heard and their vote counted,” her campaign website reads.
A federal judge in Louisiana ruled that the Food and Drug Administration must provide a status report on its safety review of the abortion pill within six months.
The judge also found that a challenge to the policy of allowing abortion pills to be shipped through the mail has standing and is likely to succeed on the merits.
“FDA has an obligation to act with all deliberate speed to review its past actions and complete a thorough analysis that addresses the deficiencies it has acknowledged,” District Judge David C. Joseph wrote. “The parties and the American public deserve nothing less.”
The state of Louisiana filed the lawsuit against the administration, challenging the Biden-era policy of allowing abortion drugs to be sent through the mail, including into states where abortion is illegal.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said the Department of Justice has initiated over 8,000 fraud cases related to stolen taxpayer dollars, and there’s more to come.
“The Department of Justice is holding criminals accountable for stealing over half a billion dollars from taxpayers, and across our U.S. Attorney’s offices all over this country, we currently have over 8,000 fraud matters underway,” he said Tuesday.
“Unfortunately, as you’ve heard a lot about recently, because it’s true, these cases represent a fraction of the fraud ripping off our country every day.”
Blanche credited President Donald Trump with leading the charge against such criminal acts and cited the newly created “Task Force to Eliminate Fraud,” led by Vice President J.D. Vance.
“FBI and our partners have arrested a former SOCOM employee, who supported our top-level military warfighters, for allegedly transmitting classified information to a member of the media.”
The FBI has arrested a former Special Operations Command employee who allegedly leaked classified information to the press.
“FBI and our partners have arrested a former SOCOM employee, who supported our top-level military warfighters, for allegedly transmitting classified information to a member of the media,” FBI Director Kash Patel said on Wednesday. “Let this serve as a message to any would-be leakers: we’re working these cases, and we’re making arrests. This FBI will not tolerate those who seek to betray our country and put Americans in harm’s way.”
Vice President JD Vance said the current ceasefire with Iran remains “fragile,” but the regime’s leaders will learn the hard way if they “mess around” and cause the ceasefire deal to collapse.
Vance is warning that President Donald Trump is prepared to take decisive action if Tehran fails to negotiate in good faith.
Speaking at a conference in Hungary on Wednesday, Vance emphasized that the two-week ceasefire hinges on Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz and engaging seriously in negotiations.
The Justice Department this week wrapped up health care fraud investigations in California, Florida, and Nevada, saying it recovered about $500 million.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said the Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, chaired by Vice President JD Vance, and the Justice Department are together “supercharging efforts to take down every fraudster and bring them to justice.”
Here are three adjudicated cases this week that ended in either a settlement, sentencing, or guilty pleas.
Islamic militants just raided a Christian village in Ituri. Hundreds are dead. Thousands more injured.
It is the latest attack in a campaign by the ADF to annihilate the Christian population of the Congo.
And once again, the West is silent.
Not a peep from the global left, the media, hman rights activists, campus protests etc because that would be islamophobic.
“Genocide!” cries the Left…
…except when Islamists are committing genocide against Christians in Nigeria, Sudan, Syria, Myanmar, Libya, the Congo, Burkina Faso, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen, Iran, and Afghanistan. pic.twitter.com/rc0XVy0gyq

The Muslim bombers had explosives that could have killed 60 people.
Formal charges for the two young men who hurled explosives at the right-wing protestors who were outside the formal residence of New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
New York Post: Emir Balat, 18, and Ibrahim Kayumi, 19, were indicted on Tuesday for allegedly hurling two homemade incendiary devices in an ISIS-inspired March 7 attack during the dueling protests outside Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s official residence. The two homegrown terrorists were caught on footage — from a built-in dashboard camera on their car ride from Pennsylvania to Manhattan — casually chatting about how they planned to target Lang, who organized the hateful rally, and hoped he would be “split in half” in the bombing attack. The pair also discussed how they wished for maximum casualties — and their chilling backup plan to toss the explosives in a café if all else failed, according to court documents.
Elite media outlets were altogether disinterested in the gravity of the attack.
El-Sayed campaigned alongside Representative Summer Lee and anti-American streamer Hasan Piker.
At a campaign event on Tuesday at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, US Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed promoted a range of far-left beliefs from Representative Summer Lee and anti-American streamer Hasan Piker.
During the rally, Congresswoman Lee told the crowd that the “upper class” is the real “enemy,” urging attendees to recognize divisions stoked by fear.
“I see other people who are fighting like hell to make you feel like your enemy is sitting next to you,” Lee angrily told the crowd. “That your enemy is somebody who worships differently than you are, or looks differently than you are, comes from a different socio-economic status than you, unless they are upper class, then that is your enemy.”
The Elitist Media are known for hiding significant news that doesn’t align with their liberal agenda or generally naked Democrats look bad. Their ongoing omission of new allegations against U.S. Rep Eric Swalwell (D-CA) stands as the latest example.
Per the Free Beacon:
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D., Calif.) will “soon” face sexual harassment allegations from a number of “credible women,” including former staffers, according to the leader of the left-wing advocacy group Gen-Z for Change, who said she has been “personally working” with the women to expose a “pattern of manipulation and abuse of power.”
The group’s executive director, Cheyenne Hunt, detailed the impending allegations against Swalwell, who is running for governor of California, in a series of social media posts. Her original video was posted to Instagram in late March and cited a text from a woman who wrote, “You know Eric Swalwell has slept with many of his interns and makes them all sign NDAs so they don’t speak up, right? And when I was 19 he tried hitting on me and sliding into my DMs and I have so many other friends that have similar experiences with him.” Hunt said the message was “not an anomaly” but “part of a pattern.”
The FBI Cyber Division warned organizations and companies that Iran-affiliated hackers are targeting U.S. critical infrastructures.
The warning comes hours before the 8 PM ET deadline President Donald Trump gave Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz.
“Iran-affiliated cyber actors are targeting operational technology devices across US critical infrastructure, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs),” the division wrote on X. “These attacks have led to diminished PLC functionality, manipulation of display data and, in some cases, operational disruption and financial loss.”

Canada has taken a major step toward enforcing chilling restrictions on religious expression after lawmakers passed controversial legislation that will criminalize quoting parts of the Bible under the globalist government’s “hate speech” laws.
Members of Parliament approved Bill C-9, dubbed the “Combatting Hate Act,” in a 186–137 vote.
The ruling Liberal Party and left-wing Bloc Québécois MPs are pushing the measure through.
The Trump administration is eliminating Obama-era off-cycle credits that incentivized automakers to install automatic start-stop technology in vehicles, effectively killing what many drivers consider one of the most annoying features of newer models.
President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are set to meet with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte at the White House Wednesday, following the announcement of a two-week ceasefire with Iran.
This week, Planned Parenthood released its 2025 annual report. In recent years, these reports have taken on additional significance. That is because congressional Republicans have demonstrated their willingness to stop federal taxpayer dollars from going to Planned Parenthood. Indeed, this year’s report should bolster pro-life efforts to defund Planned Parenthood for the upcoming fiscal year. That is because, once again, this report provides very solid evidence that Planned Parenthood continues to prioritize abortion at the expense of real health-care services.
Women who aren’t married are throwing wedding themed birthdays. It’s almost like they’re trying to compensate for something. President Donald Trump has not enacted Power Plant and Bridge Day as the Iranians appear to want to make a deal. The Left reacts. Poorly.

Explaining the decline
As Virginia voters take part in a closely contested redistricting referendum, Gov. Abigail Spanberger is heading toward the final tally with historically low approval numbers.
For the first time since the 1990s, a sitting Virginia governor is polling below historical norms.
According to Washington Post polling, Spanberger’s approval rating stands at 47%—13 points lower than the average approval rating for Virginia governors and below a majority.
Far-left activists shouted through bullhorns on Easter Sunday as part of their ongoing harassment campaign against a St. Paul, Minnesota, church that allegedly employs an Immigration and Customs Enforcement official as a minister. The Easter Sunday campaign concluded in one arrest, although a judge already threw out the charges.
Anti-ICE protesters have targeted Cities Church in the Twin Cities since January, when a mob, joined by former CNN personality Don Lemon, disrupted the church worship service at the Baptist church. The activists disrupted the service because they alleged an assistant pastor is also a local ICE official who is overseeing efforts to remove violent illegal immigrants from the area.
The left won’t hesitate to bend over backwards for a man who was killed after he resisted arrest and took enough fentanyl to kill a horse. You would expect, at the very least, that they would honor an innocent woman killed after obtaining refuge in this country as a result of the war in Ukraine. The problem with doing that, though, is that they would have to admit leftist “restorative justice” policies allowed a psycho with a painfully long rap sheet to enter back into society, where he then, subsequently, killed an innocent woman riding on the bus. So, rather than do the morally superior thing, the mayor of Providence has called to take down the mural honoring this victim, because he claims it is divisive.
“We are also aware of reports that Ms. Castillo expressed hesitancy to undergo euthanasia in her final hours, but that these indications were ignored.”
The Trump administration is set to investigate the euthanasia death of 25-year-old Noelia Castillo, who was a sexual-assault survivor. After she was placed in a group home as a teenager she was gang raped by African migrants, leading her to try to take her own life by jumping from a building. She ended up paralyzed and eventually sought suicide. Her family tried to stop her and when that failed they took legal action.
The State Department directed the US Embassy in Madrid to probe how Spanish law enforcement handled repeated sexual attacks against Castillo before her death, according to a report from the New York Post citing a leaked diplomatic cable. “We are deeply concerned by allegations that Ms. Castillo was repeatedly sexually assaulted while under state care and that no perpetrators have been brought to justice,” the cable read.
“We are also aware of reports that Ms. Castillo expressed hesitancy to undergo euthanasia in her final hours, but that these indications were ignored,” the cable added. “This case raises serious concerns about the application of Spain’s euthanasia law, particularly in cases involving psychiatric conditions and non-terminal suffering.”
This is a spectacular screw-up—and it implicates the The New York Times newsroom top to bottom. A The New York Times headline ignorantly called NATO the “North American Treaty Organization,” triggering widespread online ridicule and criticism of editorial standards. The error spread quickly on social media, with users calling it embarrassing and questioning newsroom competence. The paper acknowledged the mistake and said a correction would appear in the next print edition.
Critical minerals are mined all over the world but the majority of the supply ends up passing through China. For a broad range of key metals and minerals, China is either the largest miner, the dominant refiner, or both. This is true for rare earths, lithium, cobalt, graphite, nickel, and many other metals and minerals that are essential to defense, energy and high-tech applications.
It is less about where ores are dug out of the ground and more about where they are turned into usable components. In other words, Chinese processing plants are essentially the gatekeepers of global supply.
The Israeli government instituted a policy prohibiting Christian Palestinian teachers who live in the West Bank from working in any of the 15 Christian schools in Jerusalem in a move that threatens to weaken the two-millennia presence of Christians in the Holy City.
School principals in Jerusalem recently received letters from the Israeli Ministry of Education stipulating that beginning in September they are required to only hire teachers who reside in the city and hold Israeli-issued qualifications.
The March 10 directive comes in the wake of a bill approved last July by the Education Committee of the Knesset (the Israeli parliament) aimed at prohibiting Palestinian teachers who earned their degrees at institutions in the West Bank from teaching in Israel or the occupied East Jerusalem.
