The Bible, America 250, and Restoring
‘What Really Matters’

From the president to plumbers, hundreds of Americans spent last week speaking the Word of God at the “America Reads the Bible” event in Washington, D.C. Among them, Tim Goeglein of Focus on the Family. “The reason I was so honored to be there and to read is because you can’t understand the founding of our country without understanding the centrality of the Bible,” Goeglein told The Daily Signal. “When you’re up there reading, you have a soulful sense, a very deep purpose, that you’re not just reading the scriptures, whether you’re in church or at another event. But that you are essentially —

New Yorkers, you’ve been slacking — so the mayor wants to organize you.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani isn’t happy that only 400 people showed up to last year’s Rent Guidelines Board hearings.
In response, last Wednesday, he launched Organize NYC, a supposed volunteer effort to have New Yorkers participate in local government.Taken straight from the Democratic Socialists of America’s community-organizing playbook, Mamdani is calling it “a long-term initiative to bring mass public participation into the work of governing.”
First stop: the RGB. The body with power to set rent adjustments for the city’s 1 million rent-stabilized units will hold four public hearings in June before voting on increases at its June 25 meeting.
Host Jake Tapper said, “You are a progressive icon. But now you are expressing some reservations about where the progressive movement has gone. Tell us more.”
Frank said, “Yeah, I, you know, I’ve been trying to decide, by the way, personally, whether it’s better to be an icon or an emoji. I haven’t decided that yet. But then, as far as that is concerned, it’s precisely because I have been on the left and I’ve undertaken this. I think we’re in a situation where the mainstream, to my disappointment, for many years ignored inequality, and many of us could forget inequality on the Democratic agenda. But the problem was,
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said on Sunday that the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey goes beyond his "8647" Instagram post about President Trump.
"Rest assured that it's not just the Instagram post that leads somebody to get indicted," Blanche said on "Meet the Press" on Sunday.
"The career FBI agents, the career Secret Service agents that investigated this case, didn't just look at the Instagram post and walk away," he added.
Blanche declined to elaborate on the matter.
"So I am not permitted to get into the details of what the grand jury heard or found," he said.

The United States on Monday kicked off an effort to “guide” stranded ships from the Iran-gripped Strait of Hormuz, as it tries to counter economic disruptions that outlasted the peak of fighting with no peace deal in sight.
A day after U.S. President Donald Trump announced what he called “Project Freedom,” the Joint Maritime Information Center said Monday that the U.S. had set up an “enhanced security area” south of typical shipping routes and urged mariners to coordinate closely with Omani authorities “due to anticipated high traffic volume.” The strait sits between Iranian and Omani territory.

the Supreme Court’s Racial Redistricting Ruling 2 replies
Barack Obama is a real piece of work. Seriously, he has no shame.
One week after the former president successfully gaslit a small majority of Virginians into voting for a redistricting initiative that got rid of the state’s two majority-minority congressional districts, he has the gall to condemn the Supreme Court’s ruling against the practice of redistricting along racial lines.
He doesn’t really care about giving black voters better representation—he cares about the Democrats’ grasp for raw, naked political power, by any means necessary.
While the Constitution generally prohibits sorting citizens based on race, lower courts have long interpreted the Voting Rights Act of 1965 as effectively mandating redistricting along racial lines.

The Democrat Socialists of America (DSA) faction of the Los Angeles City Council is offering up another middle finger to the citizenry of Los Angeles, led by Councilman Hugo Soto-Martinez (CD-13), who is proposing a plan to let illegal aliens vote in city elections. We have lost the plot in this nation on what it means to be a citizen and what rights and privileges are entailed. For decades, Los Angeles has had its own cottage industries built around catering to illegals, while creating burden on top of burden for the actual citizens of the city, especially their small businesses.
Suspected Somali pirates hijacked a fuel tanker off the northeastern coast of Somalia, according to a local official and the British military.
The vessel was seized on Wednesday in waters between the coastal towns of Hafun and Bandarbeyla in the semi-autonomous state of Puntland along the Indian Ocean.
The tanker had departed from the port of Berbera and was heading to the Somali capital of Mogadishu when it was intercepted, a colonel with the Puntland Maritime Police Force told The Associated Press. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to a journalist.
That official said six armed men from the Bandarbeyla district carried out the hijacking.
Democrat billionaire Tom Steyer is drawing fire after appearing at a May Day rally in East San Jose alongside a well-known labor leader, where he was labeled a “class traitor,” and embraced for it.
Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher, president of the California Federation of Labor, highlighted the moment on X, writing: “When @TomSteyer shows up to your ‘Workers Over Billionaires’ May Day Rally in East San Jose, you ask him to wear the shirt. And he does! #ClassTraitor.”
The optics of a billionaire donning anti-billionaire messaging quickly ignited criticism online, with detractors blasting both Steyer and organized labor for what they see as political opportunism.

In a video from an interview in 2023 with CNN, posted to X, Buttigieg expressed that it was “important to make sure that passengers have choices” and that they “have access to low fares.”

A senior Iranian military official warned Saturday that a “renewed conflict” with the United States is “likely” after President Donald Trump said he is “not satisfied” with Tehran’s latest proposal and signaled military options remain on the table, saying he “can’t imagine” the offer would be acceptable given Iran has “not yet paid a big enough price” for its actions over the past 47 years. Speaking to reporters before departing West Palm Beach, Florida, President Trump said he would review the proposal after being briefed only on the “concept of the deal,” noting, “They’re going to give me the exact wording now…
Does Islam Work?

Is Islam good for you? Is it actually beneficial for individuals and societies?
These questions have seldom, if ever, been asked. Most people in America today, having been the unwitting victims of a quarter-century of propaganda, assume that Islam, like all other religions, is peaceful and benign, beneficial to both individuals and societies, albeit “hijacked” at the hands of a “tiny minority of extremists,” the likes of which we see in all religious traditions.
Yet the constant drumbeat continues: there are jihad attacks around the world virtually every day, and increasingly in the United States. All of their perpetrators insist they acted in accord with Islamic teachings. There is a distressingly
At least one person was killed and three were injured in a mass shooting at a post-prom party in Indianapolis early Sunday, cops said.
Police were called to a rental house on the city’s north side at around 3:30 a.m. to reports of gunfire, WTHR reported.
When officers arrived, they found one woman who was critically wounded. She was rushed to the hospital and later died of her injuries.
Cops later received reports of two more victims who had managed to walk into a nearby hospital for treatment. All four victims are believed to have been shot at the same property, a short-term rental where a post-prom party was being thrown.
Jonathan Turley vs. the Mob

The MSM, radical left Democrats, and progressives like Hillary Clinton, spout that we are experiencing an 'existential threat to democracy.' For example, Dr. Steven Levitsky and Lucan A. Way wrote, "U.S. democracy will likely break down during the Second Trump administration in the sense that it will cease to meet standard criteria for a liberal democracy -- full adult suffrage, free and fair elections, and broad protection of civil liberties."
Hillary says, "Our democracy is in crisis..." Her claim sounds ominous, worthy of further investigation.

Stephen Cooper, a Satanist biological male who identifies as a woman named Katrina DeVille and is running as a Democratic Socialist in the 2026 primary for Wisconsin’s 8th Congressional District, has been forced to delete a campaign-related video showing him at a gun range shooting at targets that included President Donald Trump.
Cooper was subsequently banned from speaking at the Democrat Party’s 8th Congressional District convention being held this weekend at UW-Green Bay.
After facing the severe blowback for the unhinged video, Cooper posted a TikTok video attempting to walk back the controversy,

ormer top official in the Biden administration is questioning the decision by his Department of Justice to stop the Jet Blue and Spirit Airlines merger after Spirit announced its closure on Saturday.
Neera Tanden, the CEO of the Center for American Progress, served as U.S. Domestic Policy Council from 2023 to 2025 and senior advisor and staff secretary to former President Biden from 2021 to 2023.
"Given the news today that Spirit Airlines is shuttering and thousands of people are losing their jobs, I think we should honestly assess whether the Garland DoJ stopping the JetBlue merger with Spirit Airlines was the right call.
Southwest Airlines finds itself under fire as one of its flight attendants has been busted for calling for President Donald Trump’s assassination in a series of social media posts. (Snip) As first uncovered by Libs of TikTok, Southwest flight attendant Meesh Carpino pleaded for Allen to finally take out Trump once and for all.
“Oh, sweet baby Jesus,” she wrote while following the incident.
She then grew angry after learning the third attempt on Trump’s life had failed.
“WE NEED BETTER ASSASSIN’S! [sic],” she angrily stated.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., is receiving backlash from GOP lawmakers for pushing former President Biden's Justice Department to block the merger of JetBlue and Spirit Airlines.
“The 14,000 employees at Spirit who’ve lost their job loss, the travelers who will now pay higher fares, and the shareholders and debt holders who have been wiped out can thank Elizabeth Warren,” Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) wrote on X on Saturday. “Electing left politicians, who have ZERO business experience, has consequences.”
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz reposted a critical Warren post and wrote, “Stunning.”
Warren defended her advocacy against the merger by blaming a federal judge for stopping it.
The first drones intended to stop school shootings from Campus Guardian Angel are set to go live Friday at Deltona High School.
Florida’s legislature has appropriated $557,000 to have drones in the Broward, Leon, and Volusia school districts, with Deltona High School being the first.
Georgia has also appropriated $550,000 for drones in five of their high schools, yet to be decided by the State’s Department of Education.
“Georgia went from first conversations to funding a pilot through the legislature in maybe 120 days,” CEO and co-founder of Campus Guardian Angel Justin Marston told The Center Square, which is lightning speed for Congress.
Many other states are interested in piloting these drones.

Rony Yahir Alvarenga Rivera, 22, of El Salvador — who entered the US as an unaccompanied 12-year-old in 2016 — knifed a 42-year-old coworker to death at an Island Park Wendy’s around 12:30 a.m. Friday, authorities said.
