WASHINGTON—The transcript of former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) counterintelligence chief James Angleton’s testimony to the Senate Church Committee in 1976 was discovered in the locked stacks of the National Archives by The Epoch Times. Long sought by historians, the 72 pages of transcription from the hearing remained classified and hidden from the public for nearly 50 years. The committee, chaired by Sen. Frank Church, informally known by his surname, was founded to investigate intelligence abuses by federal agencies.

The Trump administration is cracking down on radical, anti-American foreigners by revoking their visas. The left claims such efforts are a violation of free speech rights. But no foreigner has the “right” to be in America, let alone come here and espouse radical anti-American and anti-West values.(snip)Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Thursday that visas are meant for students to “study and get a degree, not to become a social activist that tears up our university campuses. And if we’ve given you a visa and then you decide to do that, we’re going to take it away.”
President Donald Trump said Saturday he doesn’t care if automakers hike prices because of his tariffs. In fact, he encouraged them to.
Asked by NBC News’ Kristen Welker in a phone interview about whether he pressured automakers to avoid raising prices after his 25% tariffs on imported cars and parts go into effect, Trump denied that he told CEOs to control costs.“No, I never said that,” Trump told Welker. “I couldn’t care less if they raise prices, because people are going to start buying American cars.”
Wisconsin’s pivotal Supreme Court race is in its home stretch. With the April 1 election date rapidly approaching, conservative candidate Brad Schimel has been hot on the campaign trail.
The weekend before the election, he is set to make stops across the state, encouraging conservative voters to show up like they did for President Trump in November. (snip)Schimel’s opponent, the notoriously pro-abortion liberal candidate Susan Crawford, has focused much of her campaign on attacking Schimel. The cornerstone of her slander was an allegation that Schimel had not successfully processed a backlog of rape kits, which was determined to be a lie.
Judge James Boasberg has officially become the poster boy for lawfare. If there’s a left-wing plot to rubber-stamp or a political enemy to take down, his gavel is always ready to swing. The man’s a busy bee. (snip) In a recent piece, we gave him a name that fits: the “Antifa Judge.” (snip)Boasberg’s most absurd stunt was blocking the removal of violent Tren de Aragua gang members by claiming they don’t meet the legal threshold for deportation under existing wartime authority. His excuse was that “TdA” isn’t a foreign government, and there’s no war. Well, that weak legal argument just collapsed under the weight of some pretty damning new intelligence.

Canada Prime Minister Mark Carney delivers a speech to the nation notifying the Canadian people that the era of an economic and military collaborative relationship between the United States and Canada is over.
As the majority of Canadians cheer, the Prime Minister said that Canada as a free independent and sovereign nation will now embrace its connections to the United Kingdon and European Union and seek to replace their national dependency on the United States by severing ties in North America and entering a new era of close relations with Great Britain and Europe.
When Texas A&M University banned drag shows on campus, it took a vital step to defend its institutional mission. But a so-called “free speech” group went to court, and now a judge is forcing the school to host these explicit transgender sex shows.
The university’s board of regents recognized that “Drag Show Events are likely to create or contribute to a hostile environment for women,” involving “unwelcome and objectively offensive conduct based on sex,” in a Feb. 28 resolution. As drag shows “involve sexualized, vulgar or lewd conduct; and involve conduct that demeans women,”

President Donald Trump talks about placing tariffs on Canadian goods. Ontario Premier Doug Ford talks about “inflicting as much pain as possible on the American people.” See the difference? Tell me again how the term “snowmexicans” is insulting. (snip\ Doug Ford doesn’t quite understand that tariffs on steel, aluminum and auto imports are not part of the “reciprocity” tariff regime. They are an entirely different category classified under national security directives to ensure American industrial capacity.
(snip) Doug Ford might want to consider the end of this continuum that finds the word “embargo”(snip)Perhaps President Trump would consider elevating the conversation to “reciprocity” in the banking
Trump announced the move on Truth Social on March 27, citing the narrow majority that the GOP has in the House of Representatives.
“As we advance our America First Agenda, it is essential that we maintain EVERY Republican Seat in Congress,” he wrote. “We must be unified to accomplish our Mission, and Elise Stefanik has been a vital part of our efforts from the very beginning.
Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, who was an outspoken critic of measures implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic, gained Senate confirmation to head the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in a vote of 53–47 on March 25.
Bhattacharya is aligned on multiple issues with his new boss, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., including addressing the nation’s chronic disease epidemic.
A physician and former Stanford University professor, Bhattacharya first drew public attention in 2020 for his criticism of COVID-19-era interventions such as mask mandates, lockdowns, and school closures.
President Trump has given remarks supporting National Security Advisor Mike Waltz during an interview with NBC.(snipa) asked what he was told about how Goldberg came to be added to the Signal chat, Trump said, “It was one of Michael’s people on the phone. A staffer had his number on there.”
snip)
The rest of the DC setup is transparently clear. (1) Goldberg held the story until the day before a long-scheduled Senate Intelligence Committee hearing. (2) The SSCI then used the hearing to blast the heads of the Trump administration intelligence silos on the issue of “classified” information
Sen. Peter Welch, D-Vt., quoted Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s disastrous decision in a would-be landmark speech-censorship case in order to argue that the federal government was not engaged in mass censorship of conservatives.
During the Senate Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on The Constitution hearing, Welch said the Supreme Court “rejected the allegation that government had unconstitutionally censored conservatives by pressuring social media companies to take down posts.”
“That was a 6-3 decision by Judge Amy Coney Barrett that found no merits to the claims.

It seems that Ukrainian Leader Volodymyr Zelensky has decided on a path that’ll send him clashing with US President Donald J. Trump and his administration.
Besides repeatedly breaching the Trump-brokered partial ceasefire on energy and infrastructure, Zelensky has now made a TV statement that contains at least two very controversial points.
First, he again stated that the hundreds of billions of dollars in US aid to the Kiev regime were NOT ‘loans’, but rather, donations – despite the fact that nothing was ever registered as such.
Secondly, he alerted that Ukraine will NOT sign the reworked rare-earth/mineral exploration deal,
Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) is facing renewed backlash after a resurfaced video shows her making a racist attack about Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) and his family during a June interview on The Breakfast Club podcast with Charlamagne tha God.
Crockett egregiously accused Donalds of being “whitewashed” because he is married to a White woman. “I feel like they give him his talking points, and he’s like, yes, massa, I got it,” she said.
The two also attacked Donalds and lied about his past comments on black families, accusing him of saying “life was better under Jim Crow.” However, Donalds never said this.
Democrats calling for the resignation of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth got more fodder for their demands when a major media outlet dropped a story that he brought his wife to “sensitive” meetings, adding fuel to the “Signalgate” fire.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Jennifer Hegseth attended a March 6 “high level meeting” with her husband and U.K. Secretary of Defense John Healey, a day after the U.S. said it would suspend sharing intelligence with Ukraine in NATO’s proxy war on Russia. According to the outlet, Mrs. Hegseth also attended a NATO meeting during a trip to Brussels in February,
It was the perfect opening. Politically, it was the equivalent of grilling a big, fat, juicy steak in the middle of the African savannah — and then being mystified by the sudden appearance of drooling predators.
C’mon, folks — use your heads! With a power vacuum that big and that tempting, it was only a matter of time.
The Democratic Party is in total disarray. Nobody’s in charge! The Obama-Biden cabal has left the building, Pelosi has health issues, and Schumer is struggling to stave off a rebellion. It’s complete and utter chaos.

A group of Columbia University grads tore up their diplomas on campus over the weekend to protest the school’s cooperation with the Trump administration, and the feds’ detention of former student and anti-Israel demonstration leader Mahmoud Khalil.
The rally, which took place during the Ivy League university’s annual Alumni Day celebration Saturday, included students as well as a few dozen graduates of Columbia’s School of International and Public Affairs — with the crowd chanting, “Free Palestine!”

New Mineral Draft That Would Recognize
US Support As Loans 21 replies
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said during a Friday press conference that he won't recognize past US military aid as loans, after Washington sent a new draft of the minerals deal to Kiev. "Ukraine received a new agreement project from the U.S. regarding mineral resources, which is an entirely different document from the previous framework agreement," said Zelensky, adding "Ukraine will not recognize U.S. military aid as debt."
"We are grateful for the support, but this is not a credit, and we will not allow it," Zelensky continued. The Ukrainian president also said that they are unwilling to negotiate with Russian President Vladimir Putin "or with someone who would represent Russia,"
Late last night, President Trump signed an executive order "to end collective bargaining with Federal unions" at more than two dozen government agencies. In theory this puts an end to collective bargaining for more than half of all federal workers.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday evening abolishing union rights at more than two dozen federal agencies and offices, in a major expansion of the administration’s efforts to shrink the federal government.
The White House cited national security concerns for terminating workers’ ability to bargain collectively, but the order applies at agencies with both direct and indirect links to national security.
The dynamic is obvious to any intellectually honest observer, which is to say U.S. and Western media disqualify themselves and continue pushing preferred EU narratives.
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky has rejected the latest U.S. proposal for a minerals deal that would create a partnership to repay the United States for ongoing financial support. According to Zelenskyy, the deal to share in oil, gas and mineral revenue would amount to debt that would disqualify them from EU membership due to unstable financials.
Billionaire Tesla CEO Elon Musk has drawn the ire of Democrats due to his role in the Trump administration‘s efforts to cut waste in the federal government, with some New York lawmakers targeting his company with a new piece of legislation. Tesla has been the target of protests and attacks from Democrats in recent months as their opposition to Musk has intensified. In the New York legislature, Democratic state Sen. Patricia Fahy introduced legislation Wednesday that would take away Tesla’s permits to run five showrooms in the state and open it up to other electric vehicle manufacturers seeking to sell
Numerous leftists have been caught keying Tesla cars and Cybertrucks amid nonstop media attacks against Elon Musk.
However, some of the attacks against Tesla owners have become violent.
A 61-year-old woman driving a Tesla was boxed in by a male driver and beaten by him while she was sitting in her car.
The violent attack took place in Flagstaff, Arizona, last week.
The victim, who wished to remain anonymous and was referred to as “Susan,” told AZ Family that she was appalled when a motorist chased her, boxed her in and began beating her through an open car window.

It’s not entirely clear if he was real or fictional. Most historians believe he was probably real, but it’s tricky to verify: The legend of Lucius Cincinnatus was (enthusiastically) retold in Titus “Livy” Livius’ book, the “History of Rome,” which was written a few decades before Christ. Unquestionably, Livius’ book included real, verifiable, historic events, but it also included the mythology of the Trojan War and tales of magical twins suckled by a she-wolf.
But the legend of Lucius Cincinnatus still endures. He’s even the namesake of an American city in southwest Ohio. And his story continues to influence kings, queens, emperors, and (yes) even U.S. presidents.
