'grand conspiracy' probe
Posted By: Mercedes44, 3/20/2026 8:36:34 AM
Former FBI Director James Comey has been subpoenaed as part of the Justice Department's "grand conspiracy" probe, two sources confirmed to Just The News Thursday. The investigation is looking into claims that Democrats attempted to undermine President Donald Trump, treating the last decade of political weaponization of law enforcement and intelligence agencies as an ongoing criminal conspiracy. The probe is being led by Jason A. Reding Quiñones, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida, and U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon is overseeing the case, according to Axios.

prayer proclamation expands, following

Philanthropist and fundraiser George Pond is expanding President Donald Trump's 2025 National Day of Prayer Proclamation, encouraging intentional and frequent prayer for the nation through a new effort called the 7:14 Initiative.
"We've been doing this since May 2024. We've been praying every day. We haven't stopped. May 2 will be our 714th day, and we will continue to pray, and a lot of it has to do with basically focusing on unpacking the principles built into scripture."
The initiative, which urges believers to spend 14 minutes in prayer, seven days a week, at 7:14 a.m., has expanded to participants across four time zones,
CBS News’ latest round of cuts under editor-in-chief Bari Weiss claimed a handful of anchors and correspondents — with more top talent to come in later weeks.
Sources told The Post that some of the network’s Friday casualties include correspondent Elaine Quijano, who was also weekend morning anchor for New York; Dallas-based correspondent Omar Villafranca; Los Angeles-based correspondent Nidia Cavazos; Las Vegas-based correspondent Andres Gutierrez; national correspondent Dave Malkoff; and Karen Hua, a national reporter in Houston.
They join Washington, DC-based reporter Nick Kurtz and political reporter Hunter Woodall, who announced that they were let go on X. The DC bureau lost above five staff total,

CBS News Radio — the century-old home of legendary journalists Walter Cronkite and Edward R. Murrow — is shutting down as network boss Bari Weiss continues to reshape the struggling news network, cutting 6% of its workforce in a Friday bloodbath that claimed 60 to 70 jobs.
Weiss and CBS News President Tom Cibrowksi said Friday that CBS Radio will shut down May 22 with all roles in the unit eliminated — a move that was driven by industry shifts and financial pressure from David Ellison, CEO of CBS parent Paramount Skydance.
The duo told employees that “a shift in radio station programming strategies, coupled with challenging economic realities,
Chief U.S. District Judge James Boasberg has ordered a temporary change to grand jury procedure in Washington, D.C., requiring notification when juries decline to issue indictments, a move that stands out for how rarely judges require formal reporting at this stage. Grand juries are designed to operate independently. They decide whether charges move forward, often behind closed doors and with limited visibility, even to the courts themselves. Judges oversee the process broadly, but they do not typically require formal reporting when a case ends without charges.
Boasberg’s order changes that dynamic.
Costa Rican President Rodrigo Chaves declared that his government does not recognize the legitimacy of the communist regime in Cuba.
During a press conference in Peñas Blancas, on the northern border with Nicaragua, Chaves ordered the definitive closure of the Costa Rican embassy in Havana and demanded the immediate withdrawal of Cuban diplomatic personnel in San José, limiting relations to the consular sphere starting April 1.
“The Government of Costa Rica does not recognize the legitimacy of the communist regime in Cuba in view of the mistreatment, repression, and undignified conditions endured by the inhabitants of that beautiful island,” Chaves stated firmly.
Conservative historian and scholar Victor Davis Hanson just put Operation Epic Fury into historic perspective during an appearance on FOX News and compared Trump to Winston Churchill in the process.
Hanson makes the point that when Churchill was trying to warn the world about Germany, he was largely ignored by other leaders and suggests that a similar thing is happening with Trump and Iran.
He also points out that all of Trump’s recent predecessors have said that they wished they had dealt with the problem of Iran while they were in office. The difference is that Trump is actually doing it.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s wife, Rama Duwaji, deactivated an old X account after a series of resurfaced posts showed her praising Palestinian terrorists, bashing Israel and criticizing the US military.
The Big Apple’s 28-year-old first lady — who has faced backlash over her social media history the past two weeks — took down the account a day after the Washington Free Beacon revealed a flurry of alarming posts she made on X and Tumblr in her teens and early 20s.
While her X account — under username @_RamaDee — was deleted as of Thursday, Duwaji’s public Instagram page, which has 2 million followers, remains active.
President of Costa Rica Rodrigo Chaves Robles announced on Wednesday that his country would cut all diplomatic ties to Cuba, shutting down its embassy in Havana and ordering all Cuban diplomats out of the country.
Chaves Robles, whose term is slated to end in May, explicitly stated that his opposition to socialism and communism – and an escalation in human rights abuses by the Cuban Communist Party at home – were the reason for his decision.We do not recognize the legitimacy of this government,” the president asserted on Wednesday. “We have to clean the hemisphere of communists. Simple as that.”

EU member state leaders gathered in Brussels on March 19 to discuss urgent issues such as the war in Iran and aid for Ukraine. However, despite "heated" debates, they were unable to convince the Hungarian prime minister to lift his veto on the €90 billion loan.

Pakistan, included by US President Donald J. Trump in his "Board of Peace" for the Gaza Strip, nevertheless continues to be one of the most dangerous countries for Christians and other non-Muslims. International watchdog organizations continue to rank Pakistan among the most difficult countries for Christians.

Venezuelan-born PragerU commentator Franklin Camargo shot back at Democrats during a Wednesday hearing on the capture of dictator Nicolás Maduro, calling him an “evil narcoterrorist who committed crimes against Americans.” The House Judiciary Subcommittee on Oversight, chaired by Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NY), gathered witnesses for a hearing dubbed “The Legal Basis for Action Against Venezuelan Drug Traffickers.” House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jamie Raskin (D-MD) and Oversight Subcommittee Ranking Member Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) were loud with their opposition to the Trump administration’s January arrest of Maduro and his wife in the Venezuelan capital of Caracas.

In 2018, then-White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was eating at the Red Hen in Lexington when the owners asked her to leave because of her politics. It was a huge controversy (and not to be confused with the September incident when President Trump and those who were with him were harassed by protesters at the D.C. eatery with the same name).
That Red Hen location closed permanently in 2023.
Now, an Arkansas eatery has started the clock on its own closure after asking Governor Huckabee Sanders to leave their establishment, again over her politics. (X) Here's more:

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese learned a valuable lesson about pandering to Islamists during a recent visit to a mosque in Sydney, with what was supposed to be a box-checking affair quickly getting out of hand.
Following Albanese's denunciations of the Iranian regime, the left-winger must have felt the need to make amends. To do so, he showed up at a mosque to sit on the floor in his socks and parrot Muslim prayers. The Islamists in the crowd weren't as eager to accept his olive branch, though.
Multiple videos showed the moment chaos erupted. At least one person tried to rush the prime minister, with the assumed

Chuck Norris, the legendary martial artist and action star who embodied American toughness for generations, died Thursday morning at age 86. His family announced the news on Friday in a statement posted to his Instagram account.
"It is with heavy hearts that our family shares the sudden passing of our beloved Chuck Norris yesterday morning. While we would like to keep the circumstances private, please know that he was surrounded by his family and was at peace," the statement reads. "To the world, he was a martial artist, actor, and a symbol of strength. To us, he was a devoted husband, a loving father and
The nerve of a judge to deport an illegal immigrant who held the lofty status of a staff member for the New York City Council has left New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani in high dudgeon.
Rafael Andres Rubio Bohorquez, a data analyst for the council, will be deported to Venezuela. The Department of Homeland Security said Rubio overstayed his 2017 tourist visa, has an arrest for assault, and does not possess work authorization, CBS News noted.
Mamdani argued his version of reality should take precedence over the law. “Today, an administrative immigration judge ordered the deportation of Rafael Rubio, a City Council employee. This is an affront to justice,”
Deranged Tucker Carlson backstabs Trump

In politics, it is often the people who you think have your back who end up stabbing you there.
Nobody knows that better than Donald Trump, who has been stabbed in the back more times than Julius Caesar — yet has still survived.
This week, part of the noisy right-wing online podcast-sphere again turned on the president. Leading the virtual charge, again, was Trump’s one-time cheerleader, Tucker Carlson.
There was a time when Carlson was fully Team Trump.
Carlson often appeared at Trump rallies as part of the warmup act. But in the past year, he has tried to lead the MAGA base away from Trump and down a very dark path.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s wife, Rama Duwaji, deactivated an old X account after a series of resurfaced posts showed her praising Palestinian terrorists, bashing Israel and criticizing the US military.
The Big Apple’s 28-year-old first lady — who has faced backlash over her social media history the past two weeks — took down the account a day after the Washington Free Beacon revealed a flurry of alarming posts she made on X and Tumblr in her teens and early 20s.

A coalition of 40 Democratic states, cities and counties sued the Trump administration on Thursday, challenging the recent termination of a longstanding policy allowing the Environmental Protection Agency to regulate climate pollution.
The lawsuit, and others like it, will kick off a years-long court saga that could wind up at the Supreme Court and determine the fate of Trump’s plan to undo decades of climate policy.
First issued in 2009 during the Obama administration, the endangerment finding is considered the federal government’s most powerful tool to tackle climate pollution. The finding determined that six greenhouse gases could be categorized as dangerous to human health
Iran's Most Powerful Weapon

Three weeks into a military engagement in Iran, a war Republicans will not call a war, the American and Israeli militaries have all but wiped out Iran's capacity to make war. We have killed their leadership, the replacement leaders, and militia members on the ground. We have destroyed their missile launchers and the factories in which they made the missiles. But Iran still has one of the most powerful weapons in the world on its side, and it is ruthlessly deploying it – the American press corps.
"Families mourn as dead are laid to rest in Tehran," blared the front page, above the fold headline in the Athens Banner-Herald
CBS News Radio will go silent in May, wiping out all the jobs in that part of the troubled network and impacting 700 radio stations.
CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss and CBS News President Tom Cibrowski announced the change Friday morning, according to The Washington Post.
“Today, we informed our CBS News Radio team and approximately 700 affiliated stations that we will end the service on May 22, 2026,” a memo to employees said. “Unfortunately, this decision means that all positions within the CBS News Radio team are being eliminated,” the memo said, saying employees would know Friday whether they are losing their job.

Recreational and tourist sites worldwide will now be a target for Iran’s aggression and what remains of the Islamic state’s leadership further added Friday it is still building missiles.
The show of defiance singling out non-combatant civilian targets anywhere on the globe comes three weeks into U.S.-Israeli strikes that have eliminated a slew of Tehran’s top leaders and hammered its weapons and energy industries, AP reports.
The outlet detailed:
Iran’s top military spokesman warned Friday that “parks, recreational areas and tourist destinations” worldwide won’t be safe for Tehran’s enemies.
Gen. Abolfazl Shekarchi made the threat as Iran continues to be hit by American and Israeli airstrikes. It renewed concerns that Iran may revert to

Businessman Mark Lynch is surging against longtime incumbent Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) ahead of the May primary in South Carolina, a new poll provided exclusively to Breitbart News ahead of its public release shows.
On an initial ballot, Graham is well under 50 percent down at just 41 percent while Lynch has moved up to 21 percent. A third candidate, Paul Dans, is at 11 percent and 22 percent are unsure.
“Lindsey Graham is in real trouble in this solidly pro-Trump primary,” the polling memo states. “When South Carolina Republican voters learn the candidates’ records, they shift sharply to conservative challenger Mark Lynch. With a large undecided pool and strong Trump
War Secretary Pete Hegseth said Thursday that the unfolding U.S. operation against Iran remains “laser-focused” and decisive in achieving its objectives, pushing back on comparisons to past prolonged conflicts while outlining a campaign he said is systematically degrading Tehran’s military capabilities.
Speaking at a Pentagon briefing on day 20 of Operation Epic Fury, Hegseth opened by directly challenging portrayals that the operation risks becoming a drawn-out war akin to Iraq or Afghanistan, arguing the mission is tightly defined and purpose-driven.
“The media here — not all of it, but much of it — wants you to think, just 19 days
