Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who has largely been disgraced following major Medicare fraud uncovered in his state, is still trying to stay relevant as he blasted the president’s decision to deploy Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to assist TSA at airports.
He went even further, spreading additional fear by speculating that the administration could deploy ICE agents to polling places during the 2026 midterm elections. [Tweet, video]
This is not normal. These guys aren't doing a damn thing," Walz said. "They weren't qualified to be here in Minnesota.
A Canadian woman has spoken out about being held with her seven-year-old autistic daughter in ICE custody for the past 13 days. Tania Warner said in an interview with CTV News that she is the most stressed she's ever been in her life. Her daughter, Ayla, has also been complaining about a rash that has spread to much of the lower half of her body. Warner believes the rash was caused by stress and the commercial cleaners used to wash the ICE-issued clothing. After pushing multiple times, Warner was given hydrocortisone cream.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents aren't just saving our departure times at United Stats airports. They're also saving our children — and probably our backs and legs from having to stand in hours' long lines, but I digress.
According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), a father was standing in line at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York on Wednesday, holding his one-year-old baby, when the child suffered a medical emergency and stopped breathing and became unresponsive. DHS says that CCTV video shows the baby going limp in his father's arms, while the father panics and calls for help.
Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick illicitly funneled millions of dollars to her campaign and committed various campaign finance infractions, a bipartisan House Ethics subcommittee determined Friday — likely laying the groundwork for a vote by the full legislative body to expel the embattled Florida Democrat.
The panel’s adjudicatory subcommittee, led by House Ethics Chair Michael Guest (R-Miss.), deliberated well past midnight following an hours-long hearing that served as the panel’s first public “trial” in nearly 16 years. It found “clear and convincing” evidence that Cherfilus-McCormick was guilty of all but two of the 27 counts that had been brought against her
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has revealed that a brother and sister from China are indicted in connection with an improvised explosive device (IED) placed at the base that serves as headquarters for U.S. Central Command, which is currently executing the Iran operation.
FBI Director Kash Patel posted his announcement on X Thursday, March 26. “An IED was placed at MacDill Air Force Base - home to CENTCOM and U.S. Special Operations Command,” Patel explained. “A brother and sister have now been indicted.” One of the suspects is in a foreign and hostile country, however, so he cannot be arrested at present.
U.S. District Judge Rita Lin has stepped in again, blocking President Donald Trump from forcing the Pentagon and federal agencies to cut ties with Anthropic.
The ruling halts a supply chain designation tied to national security concerns over AI in military use. The designation also said mean things about Anthropic, hurting Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's feelings, so he took the Trump administration to court.
Federal agencies must now continue working with a company the executive branch flagged as a potential risk.
A federal judge in California has blocked the Trump administration from designating Anthropic a supply chain risk to national security and cutting off all work with the AI company.
Will Fariah Brewer be disciplined? Will she be thrown out of the military?
Wearing a hijab, Brewer on Monday recorded a video that quickly went viral. In it, she happily admits that if she is commanded, as a member of the U.S. military, to fight other Muslims, she would disobey the orders. She makes this clear in the context of a discussion of the conflict with the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Will the Army take action? Or would doing anything to call Brewer to account be “Islamophobic”? [Tweet, video]
It’s axiomatic: a soldier in the U.S. military should be loyal to the United States.
Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana serves as headquarters for the Air Force's Global Strike Command, in charge of our nuclear bomber fleet of B-2 Spirits and B-52 BUFFs. Barksdale doesn't make the news very often — thank goodness — but there were a few blink-and-you'll-miss-it reports last week about multiple drone infestations from parts unknown.
Do not blink. Do not miss this one. It's important.
“In the early hours of Operation Epic Fury last month, a deployed [flyaway kit of counter-UAS technologies] successfully detected and defeated sUAS [drones] operating over a strategic U.S. installation,” NORTHCOM chief Gen. Gregory M. Guillot reported to Congress last week.
Municipal police should be disarmed in the multicultural Saint-Denis suburb of Paris, the city’s recently elected radical Mayor Bally Bagayoko said this week, despite the history of violence and unrest in the area.
The Malian-heritage mayor, who swept to power on the far-left Jean-Luc Mélenchon La France Insoumise (LFI/France in Rebellion) ticket — with the backing of the French Communist Party — earlier this month, defeating comparatively moderate Socialist Party candidate Mathieu Hanotin during the first round of voting in France’s two-round municipal elections.
True to form, Bagayoko, who campaigned on giving free (taxpayer-funded) bicycles to every ninth-grade student in the city,
A Secret Service agent shot and wounded himself in the leg while guarding former first lady Jill Biden at Philadelphia International Airport on Friday, according to the agency and a report.
The on-duty agent’s gun went off around 8:30 a.m. while helping escort former President Joe Biden’s wife at the busy travel hub, sources told KYW.
The agent suffered a non-life-threatening injury following the “negligent discharge” that took place while he was handling his service weapon, said Secret Service spokesperson Nate Herring. “There was no impact to the protectee’s movement and they were not present at the time of the incident,” Herring said.
Cesar Chavez, founder of the United Farm Workers, eventually became the symbolic leader of the entire Mexican-American community of the 1960s and 1970s. Indeed, he was eventually enshrined in the pantheon of modern leftist activists and civil rights leaders alongside Saul Alinsky, Martin Luther King Jr., and Betty Friedan. His Chavez Foundation today emphasizes Chavez's saintlike status as "a genuinely religious and spiritual figure." His Tehachapi redoubt remains a national monument.
In public, Chavez stressed nonstop his common-man roots, his strong Catholicism, and his devotion to wife and family, and thereby turned the struggle to provide a livable wage and humane working conditions for farm workers
A little more than two months ago, when Zohran Mamdani was still in his first days as New York City’s boy mayor, we suggested that he should be driven from office. It was that bad. Has the situation improved since then? No, it’s only become worse.
Let’s start off with the mayor hosting a Ramadan iftar dinner on March 11 at City Hall, where he was joined by Muslim city workers.
Well, isn’t that the prerogative of the mayor? After all, Christian elected officials have used government buildings for prayers and faith-based observances since the beginning of the republic.
But was this just devout Muslims practicing their religion?
ash Crofts, the yacht rock musician who helped craft 70s hits such as Summer Breeze and Diamond Girl as part of the duo Seals and Crofts, has died aged 85.
The news was announced on social media by the duo’s producer, Louie Shelton. He wrote: “Sad to hear our dear brother and partner in music has passed away today. Sending love and prayers to all his family and many fans. R.I.P. my brother.....Dash Crofts.” A family member confirmed that Crofts died due to complications following heart surgery.
March 20, 2026, marked a turning point in the 2026 Iran war, when Iran launched two intermediate-range ballistic missiles at the joint U.K.–U.S. military base on Diego Garcia, a remote island in the Indian Ocean. Although both missiles failed to reach their target—one malfunctioned in flight, while the other was successfully intercepted—the attack sent shockwaves through Western Europe.
This missile proved that the late Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei had lied for years about the true range of Iran’s missile arsenal. Khamenei claimed Iran’s missiles could not threaten beyond the Middle East and their range had been limited to 2,000 kilometers.

President Donald Trump said Thursday night that he will sign an executive order directing new Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin to pay Transportation Security Administration workers, following a partial government shutdown that began Feb. 14 and has since left them without paychecks.
The president did not indicate how Mullin would be able to pay the employees, who work within the Homeland Security Department, which has been shuttered as a result of a Congress stalemate on funding he agency.
U.S. House lawmakers Thursday discussed a proposed framework for reducing federal deficits and slowing the growth of the national debt.
The federal debt surpassed $39 trillion on March 17 and continues to climb. Over the past year, it has grown by an average of more than $7 billion per day or over $5 million per minute, and budget deficits are the primary driver of its staggering rise. Budget deficits occur when Congress authorizes spending that exceeds what the government brings in through taxes, fees and other revenue streams.
Earlier this week, a federal appeals court held that the Department of Homeland Security could detain an illegal alien without bond pending his removal proceedings after he was arrested in Minneapolis in 2025. In journeyman fashion, the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals interpreted the applicable immigration laws as written and applied common sense to reach its decision.
That law, 8 U.S.C. § 1225, a nearly three-decade-old statute, requires detention without bond for “an alien who is an applicant for admission if … an alien seeking admission is not clearly and beyond a doubt entitled to be admitted.”
The White House has recently announced that two new major drug companies are joining the TrumpRx platform, bringing the total medications offered to 54 – amid skepticism among naysayers saying the drug-discount site would not be beneficial.
Since the initial announcement of the program by President Donald Trump in February, TrumpRx.gov has expanded significantly with the recent integration of products from two additional major pharmaceutical manufacturers, Amgen and GSK.
The additions include key treatments such as Amgen's Amjevita (a biosimilar for conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and ulcerative colitis);
NASA’s chief on Tuesday said the US space agency will invest $20 billion to develop a base on the Moon, while suspending its plans to create the lunar orbital space station known as Gateway. The agency intends to pause Gateway in its current form and shift focus to infrastructure that enables sustained surface operations,” Jared Isaacman said in a statement given during a day-long event at NASA headquarters in Washington. Despite challenges with some existing hardware, the agency will repurpose applicable equipment and leverage international partner commitments to support these objectives,” he said.
The European Space Agency among other international organizations were partners on the planned Gateway project.
A lingering Biden-era credit scoring policy is quietly expanding access to credit, which could pave the groundwork for another 2008-style housing crisis.
VantageScore is a nontraditional credit scoring system that makes it easier for people with limited credit histories and certain kinds of debt to establish a credit score. Lenders can then use that data to extend mortgage eligibility to riskier borrowers, and potentially illegal aliens.
VantageScore allows lenders to factor in data like rent, utility, and phone payments in evaluating mortgage applicants, while ignoring risk factors like medical debt and paid collections. The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) authorized VantageScore for use by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
President Donald Trump’s Department of Education (ED) announced on Tuesday that it is issuing a “Letter of Impending Enforcement Action” to San Jose State University (SJSU) for its policies prioritizing transgender-identifying male athletes over women. The move comes after ED concluded in January that SJSU’s policies allowing men to access women’s sports and spaces violates Title IX, which bars sex discrimination as a condition of receiving federal funding. The investigation centered around the school’s handling of trans-identifying male volleyball player Blaire Fleming from 2022-2024.
Singham colludes with CCP to rewrite history

of WWII to advance Xi Jinping’s ‘new
world order’ replies
The wealthy Marxist businessman behind a sprawling far-left network is collaborating with the Chinese Communist Party to denigrate the Allied actions in World War II in an effort to upend the U.S.-led international system and to advance Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s “new world order.”
China-based businessman Neville Roy Singham leads and funds a global financial and activist network that operates inside the U.S. and many other countries, and while he rarely grabs the spotlight for himself in public speeches, he did so in November through the release of a report that denigrates U.S. and Allied Power contributions to WWII.
Senators approved a compromise measure early Friday to fund most of the Department of Homeland Security through the end of September, taking a major step toward ending the 42-day partial shutdown that has seen hundreds of airport security workers quit after missing paychecks and snarled travel nationwide.
The agreement, passed by voice vote before senators departed Washington for a two-week recess for Easter and Passover, will be considered by the House later Friday morning.
The last-ditch deal does not include any of the demands Democrats have placed on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) — including that agents be barred from wearing masks and operate under tougher warrant requirements to detain illegal migrants.
Military veterans are sounding off about a Democratic congressional candidate who they say inflated his Navy record and used a deceased Korean War vet’s gravesite as a campaign prop.
Ammar Campa-Najjar — a candidate for an east San Diego congressional seat and boyfriend of billionaire Qualcomm heiress Rep. Sara Jacobs — is under fire for fudging details of his service to boost his campaign.
“I supported Ammar in the past, but won’t again,” Elizabeth Perez-Rodriguez, a former CalVet deputy secretary, Vista entrepreneur and Navy combat veteran, said in a statement.
