Is the Supreme Court Compromised by Deep State Cronyism?
In a bombshell revelation that’s sending shockwaves through conservative circles, it turns out Chief Justice John Roberts has been rubbing elbows with none other than Norm Eisen—the radical leftist operative who’s spent years orchestrating lawfare campaigns against President Donald Trump and his allies.
According to a report from Revolver News, Roberts didn’t just bump into Eisen at a D.C. cocktail party. No, these two are apparently such “good pals” that Roberts jetted off to the Czech Republic for a week-long sleepover at Eisen’s lavish 150-room palace.
President of El Salvador Nayib Bukele announced on Wednesday that he received an invitation from President Donald Trump to visit the White House on April 14, 2025.
President Bukele shared a copy of the invitation on social media, simply accompanying it with the flag emojis of both the United States and El Salvador. In the missive, President Trump formally invited Bukele for an official working visit at the White House on Monday, April 15 and complimented Bukele’s support of his efforts to combat illegal immigration. Trump stressed that, “with the assistance of friends like you, we have made great progress in protecting Americans from illegal border activity.”
The father of a Texas teen accused of fatally stabbing a football star from a rival school over a seat at the stadium says his son is a “good kid” who was provoked to violence.
“Everyone has already made their assumptions about my son, but he’s not what they’re making him out to be,” Andrew Anthony told The Post.

If you were an aspiring law enforcement officer, would you have applied to the Federal Bureau of Investigation when the oleaginous Jim Comey was at the helm? Would you have considered working for Chris Wray, under whose direction you might be sent to raid an ex-president’s underwear drawer or investigate parents for caring about their children? Would you have been proud to show up at the office or in the field every day knowing that your Attorney General was Merrick Garland, who seemed to care more about getting Trump and protecting Biden than stopping illegal alien crimes,
Americans will likely have to pay more at the supermarket counter within the coming days while higher prices on everything from sneakers to furniture to cars could be felt in a matter of weeks following President Trump’s tariffs rollout, economists and industry experts told The Post.
Trump’s announcement on Wednesday triggered fears of a global trade war and sent stocks on Wall Street cratering – stoking economic uncertainty and leaving consumers with questions about which products to buy before they get sticker shock.
The 10% across-the-board tariffs begin Saturday, while the higher reciprocal tariffs against the nation’s largest trading partners go into effect Wednesday.
CBS News' "60 Minutes" has had some rather shameful episodes recently, including an episode in February where that was in favor of the censorship going on in Germany, which included arresting people over social media posts. They may have put out their worst earlier this week, though, as they tried to provide cover for Hamas terrorists mistreating their hostages held captive, which included in part withholding food from them. "Israeli hostages bond through horror of Hamas captivity," one segment was titled, in which Keith Segel spoke to Lesley Stahl. As Segel revealed that the Hamas terrorists "were beating me and starving me,"

Raffensperger case after an eight-year-long battle waged by the Coalition for Good Governance and Marilyn Marks shocked many who followed the case and 17-day trial closely.

In 1996, on the House floor, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) assailed a then-bipartisan plan to give Most Favored Nation (MFN) trade status to China, arguing that while the U.S. has low tariffs on China-made goods, China has high tariffs on American goods.
While debating opening U.S. free trade with China by giving the communist country MFN status, Pelosi made clear she opposed the plan, noting the growing trade deficit and how it was leading to economic devastation for Americans. WATCH: (Video) “Today, members of Congress will be asked to set down a marker: How far does China have to go? How much more repression, how big a trade deficit
Hamas is ready to release all remaining 59 hostages in Gaza in exchange for a permanent cease-fire with Israel, Palestinian officials said.
As Israel ramps up its military campaign in Gaza, the terror group told negotiators it was prepared to free all its hostages so long as it gets assurance that Jerusalem will withdraw all its forces, a senior Palestinian official told the Times of Israel.
It remains to be seen if the proposal will be accepted, as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has long rejected any deal that does not include Hamas’ complete defeat, including demilitarization and its permanent exit from Gaza.
As predicted, the Resistance Media have scrambled to make Tesla/SpaceX founder Elon Musk the scapegoat for last night’s special election outcomes.

Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA) said Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Prime” that the Democrats have planned so-called shadow hearings to “expose” the Trump administration’s “corruption.”
Co-host Alicia Menendez said, “You announced today a set of hearings are going to have next week with fired DOJ officials. What is it you are hoping to learn from them?”
Schiff said, “Well, today as you know, we saw the case, the corruption case against the mayor of New York dismissed with prejudice. That means that case can never be brought again. It wasn’t dismissed because of a lack of evidence.

One of former President Joe Biden’s senior aides admitted in a new book that the 82-year-old couldn’t grasp the back and forth of debate and would fall asleep by the pool while they prepped for his showdown with Trump, according to a book excerpt.
Top Biden aide Ron Klain, who helped the former president with debate prep, was “half-seriously” wondering if Biden believed he was the president of NATO rather than the president of the United States, according to the excerpt of Chris Whipple’s new book published by The Guardian. While they prepped, Klain reportedly told Whipple that the then 81-year-old president “didn’t know what Trump had been saying
Germany’s outgoing Chancellor voices the frustrations felt across the European ruling class at President Donald Trump tearing up the status quo on trade, decrying an “attack”.
The European Union, which has been hit with tariffs twice as high as post-Brexit Britain given the bloc’s protectionist policies and tariffs on imports, is expressing its distress and even outrage at President Trump’s bid to reform the United States’ trade relationship with the world. Germany’s Chancellor Olaf Scholz who is still technically in power nearly six weeks after he lost the Federal elections in February spoke in defence of the globalist status quo on Thursday.

The White House press corps declared war on the Trump administration on Inauguration Day, and the administration has responded, but only mildly. Most recently, by taking control over the seating of reporters in the White House briefing room. You might think that something so trivial would not engage the attention of the Left, but you would be wrong.
Semafor reports: “Journalists consider briefing room sit-in as Trump clashes with White House press corps.”
"The Trump administration’s proposal to take over the seating arrangement within the White House press briefing room has rattled the journalists who cover the president and left them mulling how exactly to push back.

We now know the names of the people leading the “resistance” against President Donald Trump and the attacks on Elon Musk. They occupy the highest levels of Congress and the pinnacle of the Ivy League. They’ve called for more attacks against Tesla and are leading “resistance” training to get more of it on the streets. Just like they did in 2017, leading to the Summer of Love.
Rep. Pramila Jayapal (☭-Wash.), who just left her perch as chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, and Harvard professor Erica Chenoweth are holding “resistance” training sessions to get leftists “street ready” for mass protests against President Donald Trump.
