A vehicle crashed into a White House barricade at high speed on Saturday night, leaving the driver dead, per Secret Service.
According to a statement, a Secret Service investigation is ongoing, but there was no threat to the White House. An investigation into the fatal crash “will be turned over to the Washington Metropolitan Police Department Crash Investigation Unit.”
It is still unclear what caused the car collision.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, another vehicle crashed into the White House gates in January. The driver was taken into custody.
I’m not a great believer in polls, especially right now. I’m sure there is some truth to them, some attempts at accuracy. Pollsters need a modicum of precision or they lose credibility. And if they lose credibility, they lose money. But, at best, I’m suspicious about polls, especially several months before an election, especially since 2016 and 2022. The only poll that will really matter is the one taken on November 5. But currently, just about all the polls indicate that Donald Trump is ahead, and some say by a significant margin, even in most of the so-called “swing states.”
Americans have overwhelmingly voiced who they feel can confidently lead the United States back to health— and it’s not good news for Democrats.
A new Economist/YouGov pollfound that the majority of Americans believe former President Donald Trump is a strong leader the U.S. needs, while President Joe Biden is one of the weakest presidents they have seen. Fifty-eight percent of respondents view Trump as the most robust presidential candidate, while 35 percent see him as “very strong.”
Donald Trump's authority as commander-in-chief was ignored by senior military leadership on January 6, 2021, claims the chief legal advisor for D.C. National Guard on that day.
Colonel Earl Matthews came forward as a whistleblower to the House subcommittee reviewing the January 6 Select Committee's investigation.

Eloy Alberto Zayas-Berrier was part of the infamous Mariel boatlift that brought 125,000 Cubans, including criminals and mental hospital patients, to the U.S. in 1980.
He’s been in the U.S. ever since in a bizarre legal limbo. He can’t qualify for citizenship and Cuba has refused to take him back, so he’s been stuck on “parole.” He remains here with only the barest of legal protections and cannot get a green card. He is decidedly not a citizen.
That did not, however, stop him from showing up at an early-voting location in North Carolina on Nov. 5, 2016, where he not only registered and claimed to be a citizen, but also
Arne Duncan, former President Barack Obama’s Secretary of Education, was photographed at an anti-Israel encampment next to a Chicago alderman who has received criticism for speaking in front of a burned American flag.
In a post on social media from the Coalition of Progressive Staffers from the Mayor’s Office and the Chicago city council, Duncan was seen standing next to Alderman Byron Sigcho-Lopez, who represents Chicago’s 25th ward, at an anti-Israel encampment at the University of Chicago. Sigcho-Lopez was seen speaking at the encampment at the university on Monday. Sigcho-Lopez has previously faced criticism from several Chicago aldermen and veterans after he was captured on video speaking at a rally
Special Counsel Jack Smith on Friday evening responded to Trump’s co-defendant Walt Nauta’s motion to extend a deadline for disclosures in the classified documents case.
Recall that Walt Nauta, a former White House employee and Navy veteran who worked valet for Trump and served as a personal staffer at Mar-a-Lago was indicted along with Trump last year.
In a motion filed late Friday, Jack Smith admitted the FBI messed with the boxes containing “classified” documents they seized from Trump and can’t be sure the order or the placement of the documents.
In a May 1 filing, Walt Nauta’s attorney claimed he had difficulty in cross-referencing materials in classified and unclassified discovery because
Despite residents fleeing Massachusetts, Democrat Gov. Maura Healey (D-MA) signed a bill welcoming hundreds more of illegal immigrants into her state.
Healey signed the state budget this week that includes an additional $426 million to house illegal aliens in correspondence to the state’s “right to shelter” law that requires the government to put illegal immigrants and homeless people into homes. (Snip) According to a report, Massachusetts currently has more than one million illegal aliens residing in the state. It is expected to cost taxpayers over one billion dollars by 2025 to house them.
This number doesn’t include the 14,000 illegal Haitian immigrants Massachusetts has funded since 2022.
On Saturday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Weekend,” Biden 2024 Principal Deputy Campaign Manager Quentin Fulks stated that President Joe Biden will not accept violence or antisemitism and “believes in what these protesters are saying and he is working to bring peace to the Middle East and bring the situation to a close.”
Fulks said, “[W]hen it comes to this issue, I think it’s important to call out that the president has said, as you said, that he believes in the right for peaceful protest, but that political violence, antisemitism [are] not going to be accepted. The other piece here is that the president believes in what these protesters are saying

Mayor Saddiq Khan Is Reelected for Third Term 14 replies
London Mayor Sadiq Khan has been reelected for a third term in the United Kingdom's capital city.
Khan defeated conservative mayoral candidate Susan Hall with an estimated 45.3 percent of the vote. The newly reelected mayor was roundly booed at his victory presser. “Khan killed London," one heckler shouted. But Mayor Khan, who is a member of the Labour Party, was unfazed.
“Thank you from the bottom of my heart, thank you, London,” he responded amid the boos.
President Joe Biden’s seemingly unassailable “blue wall” appears to be crumbling in the wake of former President Donald Trump’s greatest political comeback in history.
The “blue wall” represents three battleground states: Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Biden must win these states to prevent Trump from winning reelection.The states are imperative for Biden due to Trump’s surge in the sunbelt states of Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and North Carolina. In those four states, Trump leads Biden between three and six points in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and North Carolina, FiveThirtyEight’s polling averages show.

President Joe Biden doled out Presidential Medals of Freedom Friday to a number of top Democrats - giving a special shout-out to former Vice President Al Gore for conceding his disputed 2020 election gracefully.
Of the 19 new recipients receiving the country's top civilian honor, five were party leaders: Gore, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, former Secretary of State John Kerry, Rep. Jim Clyburn - who single-handedly saved Biden's 2020 presidential run - and former New York City Michael Bloomberg.
Adding a big of glamour to the mix was Academy Award-winning actress Michelle Yeoh, the first Asian-American to receive an Oscar, Olympic swimmer Katie Ledecky, who is set to compete
Is anyone really surprised?
After weeks of bias intimidation by Hamas supporters aimed at Jewish students and faculty, including Khymani James, an encampment leader who had talked to Columbia University officials about killing Jews, the Biden administration’s Department of Education, with the inevitability of a rigged slot machine in Reno, is launching a “civil rights investigation” into the university for “extreme anti-Palestinian, anti-Arab, and Islamophobic harassment”.
The complaint comes from ‘Palestine Legal’, the same group providing advice to the encampment protesters.
It complains that “Columbia has reinforced the hostile anti-Palestinian environment, including by suspending Students for Justice in Palestine — a student organization that advocates for Palestinian human rights.

In the latest instance of these antisemitic, hate-spewing, miseducated twerps treating their intrusive thoughts like honored guests, students (and probably more than a few professional agitators, as we have learned) at George Washington University held a "People's Tribunal" putting many of the school's faculty on symbolic trial and demanding their deaths. Yes, really.

Many on the left, including countless media organizations, keep trying to put lipstick on a pig and tell us it is Cindy Crawford. Yes, even today, some are characterizing President Biden as competent or even above average.
And then there is The New Republic. Proclaiming Biden to be a “great” president, as The New Republic recently did, is akin to saying Pete Buttigieg is a “great” Secretary of Transportation…as trains keep derailing, plane parts fall from the sky, and ports are closed due to errant container ships and bridge collapses. But, keep in mind, The New Republic is to journalism what White Castle is to haute cuisine.
Special counsel Jack Smith’s team on May 3 acknowledged they misled U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon regarding the handling of evidence in one of the criminal cases against former President Donald Trump.
Prosecutors in a court filing said that in some of the boxes FBI agents seized from President Trump’s Florida resort, the order of papers has been changed from shortly after the seizure.
Prosecutors compared scans of the boxes done in 2022 under orders from Judge Cannon to the present state of the boxes and noticed that the order is not the same.(snip)Prosecutors were unable to confirm why the order of papers was changed but offered a theory
In April the House Subcommittee on Oversight held a hearing with National Guard whistleblowers who stepped forward to correct the media lies and dishonest narrative by Democrats on the January 6 protests and riots.
Four members of the National Guard testified that they were ready to be deployed on January 6 but THE PENTAGON held them back!
This directly brings General Milley’s actions into question!
Kash Patel tipped us off last month that there were more reports like this coming.
The Chicago Teachers Union's contract is set to expire in June which will soon prompt negotiations between educators and the school board.
Union President Stacy Davis Gates said in early March that her proposed contract for 2024 to 2028 'will cost $50 billion and 3 cents.'
'And so what?' Davis Gates added. 'That’s audacity. That’s Chicago.'
The teachers union is demanding nine percent cost of living adjustments every year.
According to Indeed, the average salary of a teacher in Chicago Public Schools is $67,718. With raises every year for four years, teachers would be getting paid about $95,000 a year by 2028, which is roughly 36 percent higher than the national average.

Why Intellectuals Don't Like Capitalism

Anti-capitalism is back in fashion. Even Marxism, which many had declared dead after the collapse of socialism, is experiencing a renaissance. Books such as those by the left-wing French economist Thomas Piketty are popular. In my home country, Germany, a book called Das Ende des Kapitalismus (The End of Capitalism), whose author advocates the introduction of a planned economy, has climbed the bestseller lists. She cites the British war economy of the Second World War as a potential model. In her opinion, we should introduce this kind of economic system as quickly as possible, as it is the only way we can save our planet.

Secretariat’s Toughest Race

This week is the 150th running of the Kentucky Derby -- thought to be the longest continuous sporting event held at one venue in the whole world. As I wrote a while back, it’s also the most anti-woke celebration on the planet, floated on an ocean of that most American liquid -- bourbon whiskey.
But then, there is just a lot of great history and lessons to learn in the racing game, especially as it all tends to reinforce the conservative worldview. For example, we have the sad story of human greed and the late, great Arlington Park racetrack outside Chicago, in Arlington Heights.
