This is one of those news stories that, not too many years ago, would have been considered an absurd conspiracy theory. Now, who knows? U.S. intelligence intercepted Ukrainian government communications discussing a plot to route hundreds of millions of American tax dollars earmarked for clean energy in the war-torn country and move them to the United States to enrich then-President Joe Biden’s 2024 re-election campaign and the Democratic National Committee, according to a declassified intelligence report summarizing the intercepts that was obtained by Just the News. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard recently learned of the intercepts and has asked the U.S. Agency for International Development officials to scour for records

Considering some of the other things that USAID was supposed to be funding, it is believable that they were funding a green energy project in Ukraine. That it was fraudulent is also believable. Something like the California high speed train that has failed to materialize.

I have no idea if this is true, and if it was discussed, if it was ever carried out. However, I would put nothing past the 'Rats. There is nothing so crooked that they would not attempt it.

Bruce Springsteen is the headliner at the flagshiip No Kings rally at the state Capitol in Saint Paul this afternoon. Joan Baez, Jane Fonda, and Bernie Sanders are also primed to appear. Truth in advertising would require the rally to be redesignated Gimme That Old Time Religion or In Search of Lost Time. As the Rolling Stones once trilled, “What a drag it is getting old.” Tim Walz, Keith Ellison, and Ilhan Omar will also be there. They wouldn’t want to miss the chance to rag on the King. Opposing the King has become the lodestone of their careers. Contrary to the theme of the proceedings, it comes at no cost
The EV Bubble Is About to Burst 6 replies

When did getting from point A to point B get so complicated? When the government decided which cars Americans should buy. With the economic and scientific premises behind electric vehicle (EV) mandates collapsing, the EV bubble may burst completely. There is one mandate left to burst: California’s Advanced Clean Cars II (ACC II) regulation, which requires all new vehicles to be 100 percent electric by 2035, or else automakers get penalized. With the federal repeal of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)’s Endangerment Finding in February, the government’s formal scientific basis for EV mandates is gone. State governments no longer have a rational scientific basis for requiring EV sales.

Progressive Congresswoman and member of The Squad, Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), called for “some form of reparation” to be paid to illegal immigrants for the alleged “trauma” inflicted by ICE agents during President Trump’s nationwide deportation campaign. It remains astonishing that Democrats label funding the Department of Homeland Security and its agencies as a waste of taxpayer dollars, yet have no issue using public funds to provide reparations to individuals who broke the law by entering the country illegally. (X) "We need real accountability, because at the end of the day, the people that have been inflicting this harm need to be prosecuted," Jayapal said. "They need to be brought

Sharks in the Bahamas have tested positive for cocaine, a new study concludes. Researchers from the Bahamas, Brazil, and Chile also found traces of caffeine and painkillers in the sharks. This isn't a shift in lifestyle from the animals, but rather something that's being forced upon them, as marine pollution becomes ever more pervasive. Finding traces of these substances in a tropical place widely seen as idyllic and pristine is concerning – it seems there are vanishingly few spots on Earth where wildlife can escape our influence. "Pharmaceuticals and illicit drugs are increasingly recognized as contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in marine environments, particularly in areas undergoing rapid urbanization and tourism-driven development,"

Ilhan Omar married her brother 4 replies

Everyone knows this. From the New York Post, VP Vance claims Rep. Ilhan Omar ‘definitely committed immigration fraud’ by allegedly marrying brother. In February 2009, the future Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar married a man named Ahmed Nur Said Elmi. It was her first legal marriage. The marriage ceremony was conducted by a Christian ministesr. There is no dispute about these facts, which are recounted by the Post. All available evidence points to Elmi being Omar’s biological brother. No evidence points away from this fact. But I have never understood the fixation on motivation. As with my “motive unclear” series, the alleged inability to confirm a motive does not erase the underlying act. Perhaps immigration fraud

MARTIN COUNTY, Fla. — Golfing legend Tiger Woods was involved in a rollover crash on Jupiter Island just after 2 p.m. Friday, deputies said. The Martin County Sheriff's Office said the crash occurred near 281 Beach Road. A picture taken by WPTV at the scene showed a Range Rover on its side. The agency said they are currently investigating and will provide additional details as they become available. Sheriff John Budensiek was expected to speak at 5 p.m. at the Jupiter Island Town Hall. It's unclear if Woods was injured in the wreck. Woods was involved in a severe crash in California in 2021, where he suffered multiple leg injuries.
Chicago Mayor Pulls Unbelievably Cruel
Anti-ICE Stunt Mocking the Murder of Sheridan Gorman

It has been a few days since an Illinois Democrat has pulled a cheap political stunt that essentially mocks the murder last week of 18-year-old college student Sheridan Gorman, allegedly at the hands of an illegal alien, so Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson decided to step up and fill the void. In an unbelievably cruel and tone-deaf maneuver, Johnson on Wednesday held a big press conference to gleefully unveil a new city snowplow that will be clearing city streets while bearing a sign reading, "Abolish ICE," which is apparently the winning entry of a plow-naming contest. "This name derives from our city’s legacy of standing up for justice, dignity,
Trump was Right About Iran's Bomb 8 replies

President Trump was right to say that the U.S. and our allies faced an "imminent threat" from Iran. I can now report, based on former Iranian intelligence sources with personal knowledge of the inner workings of the Supreme Leader's office, that February 28 was the final meeting of a core group of Iranian decision-makers to determine the fate of Iran's clandestine nuclear weapons program. Since the June 2025 strikes on Iran's nuclear weapons enrichment and production facilities had failed to eliminate the 460 kg of uranium enriched to 60%, top Iranian security officials were debating whether to weaponize that stockpile into nuclear warheads. The group had been meeting regularly under the auspices

It’s beyond parody that a former CIA director could be so out of touch, simply because he disliked an election outcome. This was a gathering of the so-called 'morons' on MS Now—true, that’s often the case, but this time, it was a particular brand of idiocy. They had John Brennan, Obama’s former spy chief, who arguably went rogue during the Russia investigation, claiming he would trust Iran, the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism, over Donald Trump. John, are we experiencing dementia, or are you just getting your shots in before your probable indictment for giving false testimony about the Russiagate hoax, especially regarding the Steele dossier?

When yet another hero of the “progressive” Left was exposed as a perverted child rapist, it wasn’t a matter of shock as much as it was a resetting of the clock to “zero days since a Democrat was exposed as a monster.” Cesar Chavez, Democrat saint of the labor movement, loved to rape pretty much every woman or girl he was left alone with, and it sure seems like everyone around him knew it and kept quiet about it because the monster was helpful to their cause.

Woke lawmaker Pramila Jayapal called for illegal immigrants to receive reparations to make up for the 'trauma' of being targeted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The progressive Washington Democrat blasted ICE activity in the latest of her 'shadow hearings' about immigration reform on Friday, which she titled 'Kidnapped and Disappeared.' Jayapal called for 'offensive action' against ICE activities, saying she hoped for 'prosecutions and real accountability' against immigration agents. At the end of the day, the people that have been inflicting this harm need to be prosecuted,' she fumed.

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.

The Mexican Navy announced on Thursday that it has begun a search-and-rescue mission in the Caribbean Sea for two sailboats carrying "humanitarian aid" to Cuba. Reuters describes the vessels as "sailboats" and says they left Isla Mujeres, in the Mexican Caribbean state of Quintana Roo, last week. They did not arrive in Havana as scheduled on Tuesday or Wednesday. The journey is about 300 to 350 miles, depending on the route. Combined, the two boats had nine people on board, including eight adults and a four-year-old child. Reuters also reports that they were a part of the "Nuestra America Convoy."

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.

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.

After two months of unyielding negotiations, both parties gave up early Friday on reaching a grand accord to reform and fund the Department of Homeland Security. Instead, Senate Republicans accepted what Democrats have been offering for weeks — cash for all of DHS except for ICE and part of Customs and Border Protection. The Senate approved the funding package by a voice vote and is now expected to begin a scheduled two-week recess. The House could vote as soon as Friday, before the shutdown would break the record Saturday night for the longest funding lapse of any federal agency in U.S. history. Senate Majority Leader John Thune called the outcome “unfortunate” Friday.
