King Charles, Head of Church of England, Proclaims Vile, Unbibilical Message in Easter Address to Christians– www.westernjournal.com

Excerpt:

Christopher Hitchens — the late polemicist and, along with Richard Dawkins, the most famous of the so-called “new atheists” — will never be remembered as a stout Christian apologist. However, in 2010, he managed to sum up the sorry state of the Church of England in one brilliantly incontestable lede:

“This is what you get when you found a political system on the family values of Henry VIII.”

No matter how many double Johnnie Walker Blacks on the rocks Hitchens had consumed before he penned that open, or no matter how facile he was on most other matters religious, he wasn’t wrong on this occasion. The Church of England — an offshoot of the Roman Catholic Church that developed not due to serious doctrinal differences but because Henry VIII desired a divorce — has taken on, in modern times, a more loosy-goosey approach to theology.

In the same essay in which Hitchens opened with that inimitable shot across the royal family bow, Hitchens expressed concern — in his own way — that then-Prince Charles might not be up to maintaining the vestigial advantages of the national faith. (He was a bit more blunt than that; the piece was titled “Charles, Prince of Piffle,” and he lamented that, as king, “the prospect of a morose bat-eared and chinless man, prematurely aged, and with the most abysmal taste in royal consorts, is a distinctly lowering one.”)

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin took a New York Times reporter to task over media bias in reporting on efforts to expose fraud, waste and abuse of taxpayer dollars under the Biden administration.

During a press conference on Monday at the EPA, Zeldin confronted New York Times reporter Lisa Friedman over an April 2 story she had written in which she accused him of making “explosive accusations against the Biden administration” with no evidence, regarding the mishandling of $20 billion in climate grants.

Using the reporter’s own words, Zeldin fired back at the reporter and dared other media outlets, including the Washington Post and Politico, to back up their reporting that there was “no evidence” of wrongdoing.

Big Money Democrats just dropped a fortune buying a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat, and they’re already reaping huge returns.

The left-led court late last week issued a 4-3 ruling upholding Democrat Gov. Tony Evers’ audacious ploy to annually increase public school spending for the next four centuries. With activist court rulings like this, who needs an executive branch?

The liberals’ paper-thin justification for trampling all over the Republican-controlled legislature is a sign of things to come, and immediate proof that the “nonpartisan” Wisconsin Supreme Court’s liberal majority isn’t nearly as interested in upholding the constitution as it is in protecting the leftist agenda.

In an attempt to get a lower mortgage rate on a vacation home in Long Boat Key, Florida, one controversial elected prosecutor in a major U.S. city drafted a letter to United Wholesale Mortgage. At closing, the prosecutor signed the application for the $428,400 mortgage and attested to the accuracy of her answers in the application.

The problem?

She had not lived in Florida as she had claimed. She failed to disclose all her liabilities. She failed to disclose that she was delinquent in paying her federal taxes and that the IRS had a $45,022 tax lien against her. And the gift letter she provided to the mortgage company was also false.

Five months earlier, in an attempt to purchase a rental property in Kissimmee, Florida, the same prosecutor signed an application for a $490,500 mortgage from Cardinal Financial Company. According to the government, the prosecutor made knowingly false statements by not including all of her liabilities in the application, not disclosing the IRS lien or the fact that she was delinquent in paying federal taxes. She also did not disclose that she intended to use it as a rental property, having signed a rental agreement with a management company the week before she signed her closing documents for the loan.

Democrat Resolution Honors Cecile Richards, Ignores How She Oversaw Killing Millions of Babies– www.lifenews.com

Excerpt:

A recent memorial resolution introduced in the Texas House has sparked controversy for honoring Cecile Richards, the former president of Planned Parenthood who died in January. Richards passed away at the age of 67, following a battle with aggressive brain cancer.

The resolution says absolutely nothing about the fact that she oversaw the killing of millions of babies.

Texas House Resolution 236, introduced by Democratic Rep. Ramon Romero and co-sponsored by Rep. Ann Johnson, both of Houston, praises Richards as a Texas native whose “exceptional contributions” left an “unmistakable mark on the world.” The resolution omits any mention of abortion, despite Richards’ leadership of Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion business, from 2006 to 2018.

New York Supreme Court Judge Temporarily Blocks ICE Access to Rikers Island– conservativeroof.com

Excerpt:

New York State Supreme Court Judge Mary V. Rosado (Democrat) issued a temporary restraining order Monday blocking Mayor Eric Adams and his administration from moving forward with a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that would have allowed federal immigration agents access to Rikers Island – the city’s most notorious jail complex.

At the heart of the case is Executive Order No. 50, issued by Mayor Adams, which aimed to facilitate cooperation between the New York City Department of Correction and federal law enforcement, including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

The agreement was designed to identify and remove dangerous illegal aliens charged with violent crimes – including repeat offenders and gang members – from city custody and turn them over to federal authorities.

But that common-sense initiative has now been derailed by a politically motivated lawsuit filed by the New York City Council, which outrageously argues that allowing ICE to perform its lawful duties violates the city’s sanctuary policies.

A federal appeals court has stepped in and put a temporary halt on contempt proceedings initiated by a Democrat-aligned activist judge against President Donald Trump’s administration.

U.S. District Judge James Boasberg, a Barack Obama appointee, is attempting to hold Trump in contempt concerning deportation flights to El Salvador, The Hill reported.

The divided ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit does not address the merits of the administration’s appeal.

However, it stalls Judge Boasberg’s efforts to hold government officials in contempt over the March 15 deportation flights.

Judges Gregory Katsas and Neomi Rao, both appointed by Trump, supported the stay.

Meanwhile, Judge Cornelia Pillard, appointed by Obama, dissented.

In mid-March, he shared details of impending attacks on the Houthis in Yemen in at least two separate Signal group chats, a platform that, while secure, is not approved by the government for the sharing of classified information.

“What was shared over Signal then and now, however you characterize it, was informal, unclassified coordinations for media coordination [and] other things. That’s what I’ve said from the beginning,” he told Fox & Friends host Brian Kilmeade on Tuesday morning.

“If you remember when this all started the first go around, because this is the second go around, right? They pedal old stuff. They kick it back up,” Hegseth said. “I said repeatedly, no one’s texting war plans. You know why I said that? Because I’m in the bowels of the Pentagon every single day.”

Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre, who has been described by media outlets as Canada’s version of President Donald Trump, held a nearly 25 point lead in CBC polling averages going into January 2025. However, with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s pending resignation and replacement with banker Mark Carney, the liberals are now leading in the polls with just a month left until Canadians cast their votes.

Trudeau’s approval rating was historically bad leading up to his resignation announcement in December 2024, with 74% of voters disapproving of his administration, according to the Angus Reid Institute.

Instead of Fighting Antisemitism, Harvard Sues Trump Admin—and Some Jewish Students Are Appalled – RedState– redstate.com

Donald Trump has threatened to withhold billions in federal funding from Harvard University because the institution has let antisemitism run rampant on its campus. Did Harvard react by vowing to crack down on hate? No, instead they’re suing the administration for the taxpayer-funded money, which they somehow feel they’re entitled to.

As I’ve asked before, they have a $53 billion endowment—how about they mirror Hillsdale College and refuse federal money? Then they can teach whatever garbage they want.

Instead, they seem to be saying, we should be able to promote whatever woke agenda that we desire, and you should be forced to pay for it:

It looks like we’re in for a long, nasty battle:

Harvard University has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration over its “unlawful” multibillion dollar freeze of research funding to the university.

“Moments ago, we filed a lawsuit to halt the funding freeze because it is unlawful and beyond the government’s authority,” Harvard President Alan Garber wrote in a post on X.

The move comes just one day after the Trump administration planned to cut another $1 billion in federal grants and contracts to the university, according to the Wall Street Journal, which is in addition to the $2.2 billion freeze that was announced last week.

In response to the lawsuit, a White House spokesperson told Fox News Digital that Harvard’s “gravy train of federal assistance” is coming to an end.

Trump Gives New York State Until May 21 to End Congestion Pricing Tolls – PJ Media– pjmedia.com

Excerpt:

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy sent an ultimatum to New York Gov. Kathy Hochul to end the congestion tax by May 21 or face huge cuts in federal funding for transportation projects.

“The federal government sends billions to New York — but we won’t foot the bill if Governor Hochul continues to implement an illegal toll to backfill the budget of New York’s failing transit system,” Mr. Duffy wrote. “We are giving New York one last chance to turn back or prove their actions are not illegal.”

The Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA), which operates the toll system, has twice refused to comply with Secretary Duffy’s requests to present a plan to end the toll. Duffy and Donald Trump believe that the approval given to the plan by the Biden administration was illegal in that it failed to meet all the criteria for implementing congestion pricing laid out in the 2019 Traffic Mobility Act, which explicitly states that the plan must comply with all federal laws and regulations.

Christians need not profess the Catholic faith in order to recognize the importance of the moment.

In short, someone must now teach the world to seek truth in something other than whims and fashion.

On Monday, 88-year-old Pope Francis died, bringing an end to a papacy that, in many ways, conservatives regarded as little more than an apostasy and setting the stage for a papal enclave that could result in the election of a conservative favorite, 79-year-old Cardinal Robert Sarah from the west African nation of Guinea.

Of course, the phrase “could result” must temper conservatives’ expectations.

In fact, on Monday The Guardian profiled Sarah as one of nine possible candidates to succeed Francis. So the African cardinal’s elevation to the papacy hardly qualifies as a foregone conclusion.

Trump admin reverses course on Biden’s student debt relief—only 38% of borrowers current on payments | The Post Millennial– thepostmillennial.com

Excerpt:

The Trump administration is going to resume collecting student loan payments next month, with the Department of Education (DOE) announcing that the collection will include payments from borrowers who have defaulted on their loans. This comes as only 38 percent of all borrowers are current on their payments after former President Joe Biden introduced various measures to have taxpayers foot the bill on the loans.

Collections on student loans have been paused since March 2020, at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, but they will be resuming on May 5 and over 5 million borrowers on default of the loans will have to start paying back their debts.

In a press release from the DOE, Education Secretary Linda McMahon said that “American taxpayers will no longer be forced to serve as collateral for irresponsible student loan policies.” During the Biden administration, the former president attempted in multiple different ways to expunge the debt of borrowers who took out student loans to go to college. This included attempts after the Supreme Court ruled against his actions. He argued that even though the “Supreme Court blocked” his student debt relief, “that didn’t stop” him from getting it done.

In what many citizens concerned with the survival of Austria as a European nation-state are calling a demographic tipping point, Muslims have now become the largest religious group in Vienna’s compulsory schools, comprising a striking 41.2% of all students across primary, secondary, and vocational education levels.

The stark demographic shift has sparked outrage among conservatives and nationally-minded citizens in Austria, with the Freedom Party (FPÖ) warning that the capital is being culturally transformed beyond recognition.

“This is no longer immigration. This is displacement,” said Maximilian Weinzierl, national council member and leader of the FPÖ’s youth wing. “41.2% of Muslim students—that’s no longer a minority, that’s the new majority. What we as the FPÖ have been warning about for decades, but which was always dismissed as right-wing scaremongering, is now reality: Immigration has completely overrun our country.”

A federal judge on Monday temporarily blocked the deportation of two international students in Oregon and ordered the Trump administration to reinstate their visa status.

The decision follows two lawsuits filed by a student at Oregon State University and another at the University of Oregon, who had their F-1 student immigration status terminated by the administration.

U.S. District Judge Michael McShane issued a temporary restraining order preventing the students from being deported and ordered the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to restore their F-1 student records for 14 days, according to the court order.

Both plaintiffs were represented by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Oregon and an immigration law firm. The first student, Aaron Olaf Ortega Gonzalez, is a Mexican national pursuing a doctoral degree in rangeland ecology and management at Oregon State University.

The second student, identified only as Jane Doe, is a British citizen pursuing two master’s degrees at the University of Oregon. The plaintiffs said their student status was revoked “without any notice or meaningful explanation” given by the DHS.

If you think a 25% tariff is bad, what about a tariff that goes past 3,500%?

On Monday, the U.S. Department of Commerce slapped high tariffs on solar panels and their related products coming from four Southeast Asia countries, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, and Cambodia, accusing manufacturers there of dumping products on the U.S. market. The announcement ends a yearlong trade probe initiated under the Biden administration.

Tariff levels varied wildly between different countries and manufacturers. Solar cells made in Malaysia by Korean company Hanwha only got a tariff of 14.64%, the lowest imposed.

In contrast, four manufacturers in Cambodia—Hounen Solar, Jinktek Photovoltaic, ISC Cambodia and Solar Long PV Tech—got tariffs of 3521.14%. The Southeast Asian country stopped cooperating with the U.S. probe, leading to such high penalties.
