EXCERPT:

Ahead of a consequential vote on extending the government’s authority to conduct overseas espionage, several House conservatives are expressing their concerns.

On April 20, Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which enables the government to spy on foreigners, is set to expire.

Many House Republicans and President Donald Trump have argued in the past that this power is easily abused, resulting in the inadvertent surveillance of American citizens.

Back in 2024, facing a different deadline, Congress agreed to extend Section 702 for two years.

Several members of the House Republican Conference demanded reforms to the authority, some of which were ultimately granted.

Ghosts of Former Soviet Union Leaders Grin As Mamdani’s $30M NYC Communist Grocery Store Unveiled – RedState– redstate.com

EXCERPT:

We told you that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani would be bad, and the democrat socialist has proven to be as terrible or perhaps even worse than we warned.

He’s continued his antisemitic rhetoric and demeaning of police, wants to tax the wealthy out of existence (or at least, out of the state), and is striving to make DEI great again — just what nobody needs.

On Sunday, he announced that the city’s first city-run grocery store will open in East Harlem, and it will cost $30 million to build and take over a year to complete.

Trump could probably build a dozen of these for $30 million. Why so much? Union wages play a part, but that doesn’t explain it all, considering Mamdani had earlier promised five stores for a mere $70 million:

Even assuming New York City’s priciest union-driven construction costs, a standard-sized 25,000-square-foot grocery store should only be about $15 million to build, said Adam Lehodey, an expert at the Manhattan Institute.

“Thirty million dollars for one store is exceptionally high, considering land prices are a significant part of the capital costs of new construction, and the city has announced that rents will be waived,” he said.

The ghosts of the old Soviet Union leaders are beaming with pride when they watch this video:

The Department of Justice awarded more than $1 million to a pro-life advocate wrongfully arrested in his home, his defense announced last week, marking a legal win for free speech and a de facto acknowledgment of federal lawfare deployed against pro-life Christians under the Biden administration. The announcement came just days before Tuesday’s release of a detailed report that further exposes the Biden DOJ’s egregious abuse of the FACE Act.

In 2022, Catholic pro-life father Mark Houck was arrested at his home in Kintnersville, Pennsylvania. Houck had been charged with violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act after pushing away a Planned Parenthood volunteer who was harassing his 12-year-old son. Although local police and the district attorney rejected the volunteer’s attempt to bring Houck to court, and a municipal court dismissed a lawsuit against him, the Department of Justice picked up the case, threatening Houck with a maximum 11-year prison sentence. Houck agreed to turn himself in peacefully, but federal agents ignored his compliance, staging an aggressive arrest in front of his wife and seven children. In custody, Houck was chained to a table for six hours.

Don’t look now, but Big Oil is making big moves to secure positions in the expanding Venezuelan oil industry as part of the Trump Administration’s plans to revitalize the country’s economy.

On Monday, Chevron officials signed a pair of deals to expand the company’s footprint in the prolific Orinoco Belt as Shell prepares to ink a major deal of its own later this week.

Make no mistake: These deals didn’t happen in a vacuum. They are the direct result of the Trump administration’s bold decision to remove Nicolás Maduro in January, launch a $100 billion reconstruction plan for the country’s shattered energy sector, and push through sweeping reforms to Venezuela’s hydrocarbon law. After years of socialist mismanagement that turned one of the world’s richest oil nations into an economic basket case, sanity is finally returning.

(LifeSiteNews) — A Montreal doctor called on the Liberal government under Prime Minister Mark Carney to support a private members’ bill that will stop a planned expansion of euthanasia to those with mental illness in Canada.

In a Monday press conference on Parliament Hill on Monday, members of the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition (EPC), including Dr. Peter Blusanovics, who has treated many with mental illnesses, urged support of Conservative Private Members Bill C-218.

Blusanovics, who is a family doctor based in Montreal, said he spoke to be a voice to “provide a voice for our most vulnerable — those who have and are suffering from mental illness.”

“Bill C-218 needs to pass to put a stop to euthanasia for people with mental illness,” said the doctor, adding, “Basic needs are currently not being met in our health care system.”

“Without this bill, we are condoning a bypass towards suicide and blatantly admitting defeat. Mental illness needs to be properly identified and treated,” he said.

IS IRAN A ‘JUST WAR’? Pope Leo XIV has posted another provocative statement on X, calling for the world to “reject the logic of violence and war, and embrace peace founded on love and justice.”

“Enough of war and all the pain it causes,” he pontificated. It is just the kind of thing one might expect from the leader of the Catholic Church, but to President Donald Trump, it’s left-wing, liberal claptrap.

“Will someone please tell Pope Leo that Iran has killed at least 42,000 innocent, completely unarmed, protesters in the last two months, and that for Iran to have a Nuclear Bomb is absolutely unacceptable?” Trump posted on Truth Social late Tuesday night.

The fact that Trump just won’t let it go has alienated Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, once considered one of Trump’s closest allies, irked Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) among others in Congress, and started a debate over whether Iran is a “just war.”

Maryland’s Legislature is run by Democrats, yet it refuses to gerrymander the congressional districts in its state. Virginia Democrats could learn something from the Free State.

Like it or not, Virginia is constantly comparing herself to next-door Maryland. Out of the 47 seats in the Maryland Senate, 34 are held by Democrats.

Still, those senators chose to leave mid-decade redistricting in a committee drawer rather than comply with former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and his nationwide redistricting campaign.

To be fair, President Donald Trump did say it would be nice if Texas — when ordered by the courts to redraw a few districts because they failed the Voting Rights Act “majority-minority” litmus test — made a few more Republican-majority seats.

Pope Leo Visits Muslim Memorial to Killers of Christians– gellerreport.com

Of all the memorials in all the world…..

This isn’t about honoring the dead—it’s about legitimizing the wrong ones. Standing at a state monument in Algeria and praising those who died “for their people,” without distinguishing between freedom fighters and those who slaughtered Christians and Jews, is moral confusion at best and abdication at worst. In a place where the Church was nearly wiped out, that kind of gesture doesn’t signal peace—it signals that the suffering of Christians is secondary. A pope is supposed to bring clarity. This brings cover.

Pope Leo Visits Muslim Jihadist Memorial to Killers of Christians

By: Daniel Greenfield, April 16, 2026:

“They gave them up for the love of their own people.”

Imagine that Hamas had won on Oct 7 and the victims were Christians. That’s what happened in Algeria. Islamist and Marxist terrorists during the Algerian War waged a ruthless campaign against the non-Muslim population. Including Jews.

The atrocities by Muslim terrorists included the slitting of women’s throats and babies being murdered by having their heads smashed against walls. The massacres climaxed in the Oran Massacre in which De Gaulle’s corrupt regime refused to protect Christians and Jews from the Muslim mob.

Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh successfully emerged from a contentious confirmation process during President Trump’s first term, but he has continued to face criticism from the left for his generally conservative approach to interpreting law.

At least one of those critics has been sitting on the Supreme Court bench alongside him, as Breitbart reported:

Sotomayor’s criticism of Kavanaugh came while speaking at the University of Kansas School of Law on April 7. In her comments, Sotomayor did not specifically mention Kavanaugh.

“At a recent appearance at the University of Kansas School of Law, I referred to a disagreement with one of my colleagues in a prior case, but I made remarks that were inappropriate,” Sotomayor said. “I regret my hurtful comments. I have apologized to my colleague.”

During the event at the university, Sotomayor spoke about how one of her colleagues wrote that “these are only temporary stops,” Bloomberg Law reported.

Over the course of his single term in the White House, former President Joe Biden and his administration targeted numerous pro-life Americans for prosecution, with many facing time in jail or prison for protesting the slaughter of unborn children. Under President Donald Trump and Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is revealing that the Biden administration actively weaponized the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act and coordinated with abortion groups to target and prosecute pro-life Americans.

The DOJ published a nearly-900-page report Tuesday, detailing the Biden administration’s weaponization of law enforcement and collaboration with abortion industry giants, including the National Abortion Federation, Planned Parenthood, and Feminist Majority Foundation. “This Department will not tolerate a two-tiered system of justice,” Blanche said in a press release. “No Department should conduct selective prosecution based on beliefs. The weaponization that happened under the Biden Administration will not happen again, as we restore integrity to our prosecutorial system.”

Sadly, Republicans have chosen to be on the losing side of the issue.

The referendum was sparked in the wake of Oracle and OpenAI’s Stargate facility setting up shop in the area. The proposed 1.3 gigawatt facility will consume the power equivalent of over one million households.

A tough pressure campaign from high-profile Democrats has failed to persuade other members of their party in Maryland, where a new congressional map is now off the table.

As the United States Navy enforces a full blockade of Iranian ports and conducts minesweeping operations in the Strait of Hormuz, the lessons of 1987 and 1988 are once again proving their worth. I know, because I participated in the Pentagon basement war games that shaped Operation Praying Mantis in 1988, which became America’s largest Navy surface engagement since World War II.

In March 1987, as Iran attacked shipping in the Persian Gulf during the Tanker War, Kuwait sought U.S. protection for its oil tankers. President Ronald Reagan ordered them reflagged under Operation Earnest Will.

Before the first convoy sailed, two-week-long war games tested responses to Iranian provocations. I served on the Green team as a young Reagan appointee, modeling a robust, military-centric reaction. The Blue team pursued a restrained, “proportional response” approach favored by the foreign policy “Blob.”

The outcomes were clear: The Green team’s decisive posture resulted in roughly 50 American dead, wounded, or captured. The Blue team’s tentative path allowed Iran to control escalation, producing some 1,500 American casualties.

… California politicians have proposed legislation to squelch future independent investigative efforts. Let me introduce you to Assembly Bill (AB) 2624, which:

  • Extends California’s existing address confidentiality and anti-doxxing protections (now used for reproductive and “gender-affirming” health care) to immigration support service providers, employees, and volunteers who face threats or harassment tied to their work.
  • Creates a new address confidentiality program for these immigration support workers so state and local agencies can process public-records requests without revealing their residence addresses.
  • Makes it unlawful to solicit, sell, trade, or post on the internet or social media the personal information or images of covered immigration support workers (or people at the same home address) when done with intent to incite or facilitate threats or violence, with associated civil and criminal penalties.

In other words, it allows bureaucrats to apply broad definitions and to threaten the actual journalists uncovering the types of immigration service abuse that Shirley has revealed with his work. The rules can be used to prevent videos from being shared on social media, and fines of $10,000 per violation can be imposed.
