National security threats don’t always arrive at the border—they sometimes enroll in universities.

The detention of Yousof Azizi is raising uncomfortable questions about how foreign influence can embed itself inside American institutions. Academic credentials, media appearances, policy advocacy—on the surface, it looks like scholarship.

But beneath that, critics argue, there may be alignment with hostile regimes that view the United States as an adversary.

The issue isn’t just one individual. It’s the broader system that allowed access, advancement, and influence without asking hard questions about where loyalties—and interests—actually lie.[RAIR FOUNDATION USA]

Appeals Court Sides with Trump

Trump Administration Wins Appeal to Shut Down Judge Boasberg’s Contempt Probe

A federal appeals court shut down Judge James Boasberg’s contempt probe into Trump administration officials, handing President Trump a major legal victory in the fight over migrant deportation flights.

The case centered on deportation flights that sent hundreds of Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador last March.

The 2-1 ruling found that Boasberg abused his discretion by trying to pursue possible criminal contempt charges against top officials involved in deporting Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador.

The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday that Boasberg must end the contempt investigation. The panel found that the Obama-appointed judge had overstepped his authority.

Jamie Raskin - Democrats at a new low

House Democrats introduce 25th Amendment bill targeting Trump in a move with zero chance of success

House Democrats on Tuesday rolled out a 10-page bill that would create a 17-member commission to evaluate whether President Donald Trump is mentally or physically fit to serve, a maneuver built on the 25th Amendment that has no realistic path forward in a Republican-controlled Congress.

The legislation, introduced by House Judiciary Committee ranking member Jamie Raskin of Maryland, landed with 50 Democratic co-sponsors. It arrived in the wake of Trump's social media post warning that a "whole civilization will die tonight" during the standoff with Iran, a statement that triggered a wave of Democratic calls for removal or impeachment.

The bill would empower a panel of physicians, psychiatrists, and former senior executive-branch officials, appointed by congressional leaders of both parties, to conduct a medical examination of the president and determine whether he can discharge the duties of his office.

It is, by any honest reading, a political statement dressed in constitutional clothing.

Trump's point, that Tehran's longstanding "Death to America" rhetoric draws no comparable outrage from the same Democrat lawmakers now demanding his removal.

The 2011 Obama Letter That Gagged Every School District in America

Obama Kept Your School District in the Dark for 15 Years and Chip Roy Just Found the Memo

Your kid's school cut art class to stretch its budget while nobody was allowed to count who was sitting in the classroom.

Now Texas congressman, Chip Roy, has the memo that made that silence federal policy.

He just sent it to the two people who can kill it – and the clock is ticking before Washington goes back to pretending it doesn't exist.

In May 2011, Barack Obama's Department of Education sent a letter to every school district in America. They called it civil rights guidance. It declared that the immigration status of a student – or their parent – was "irrelevant" to their enrollment in public school.

The Federation for American Immigration Reform estimates it costs public schools just over $78 billion annually to educate the limited-English-proficiency student population – the vast majority of whom are children of illegal immigrants.

$1.9 billion – what illegal alien enrollments have cost Texas taxpayers alone. The Heritage Foundation calculated that in just four states – California, New York, Texas, and Arizona – absorbing a single year's influx of migrant children into public schools cost nearly three-quarters of a billion dollars.

Virtually the entire bill falls on state and local taxpayers.

Not Washington.

You.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor - Liberal against ICE

Sotomayor targets Kavanaugh's background in public broadside over ICE raid ruling

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor used a public appearance at a University of Kansas School of Law event on Tuesday to single out colleague Brett Kavanaugh, claiming his upbringing as the son of professionals left him unable to understand the real-world consequences of immigration enforcement stops.

The remarks, personal, pointed, and delivered outside the courtroom, centered on Kavanaugh's concurring opinion last September in a case that allowed the Trump administration to continue ICE raids in the Los Angeles area, as the New York Post reported.

Sotomayor did not name Kavanaugh directly in her public remarks. But she left little doubt about her target.

Sotomayor told the Kansas audience that a colleague had characterized immigration stops as merely temporary. She then pivoted to a personal critique of Kavanaugh's family background, arguing it disqualified him from understanding the stakes for hourly workers detained by ICE agents.

"This is from a man whose parents were professionals. And probably doesn't really know any person who works by the hour."

The episode raises a question that has nothing to do with immigration law: When a sitting justice uses a public stage to attack a colleague's personal background as the basis for his legal reasoning, what does that say about the state of the Court?

John Brennan, the "alleged" mythomaniac

John Brennan calls for Trump's removal while facing DOJ investigation over alleged lies to Congress

Former CIA Director John Brennan, already a target of a Justice Department investigation into whether he lied to Congress about the Steele dossier, went on cable television and called for President Donald Trump to be removed from office using the 25th Amendment.

The remarks came during an appearance on MSNBC NOW with host Ali Velshi, as Fox News Digital reported.

Brennan, who served as CIA director under President Obama, told Velshi that the 25th Amendment "was written with Donald Trump in mind", a claim that would have surprised the amendment's actual authors, who ratified it in 1967. He then escalated his rhetoric further.

"Allowing someone like this to continue to be the commander in chief and to control the tremendous capabilities of the U.S. military, including our nuclear weapons capability, which he seemed to allude to when he said he's going to just eliminate a entire civilization."

That the former head of America's premier intelligence agency would push a constitutional mechanism for presidential removal, while under active criminal investigation by the very government he wants to intervene, tells you everything about how certain corners of the Washington establishment operate. The rules apply to everyone else.

Read about John Brennan

The core question is not whether a former CIA director has the right to criticize a sitting president. Of course he does. The question is whether a man under active criminal investigation for allegedly lying to Congress about his role in a discredited intelligence operation has the standing to lecture anyone about fitness for office.

All these Democrat reprobates know what media outlets that will be receptive to their lying charges.

Once upon a time, The New York Times set the standard for American journalism.

Today, critics argue it sets the tone for something else entirely—narrative over reality.

Coverage of global conflicts, especially involving Iran and its proxies, has reignited long-standing accusations that the paper filters events through ideology first and facts second.

NYT officially hates America and promotes terrorism.

When headlines appear to sympathize with adversaries or undercut American interests, readers start asking a basic question: Who is this for?

In an era of collapsing trust, legacy media doesn’t just report stories anymore—it has to defend its credibility. [Don Surber]

Trump on the Liberal Pope

President Donald Trump said he is “not a big fan” of Pope Leo XIV

He called the pontiff “weak” and “terrible,” issuing an extraordinary public rebuke that questioned the Holy Father’s leadership and motives

In an April 12 post on Truth Social, Trump took aim at Pope Leo across a range of issues on which the Pope has called for peace, portraying him as acting politically and aligning with Trump’s opponents.

“Pope Leo is WEAK on Crime, and terrible for Foreign Policy,” he wrote.

The president also attacked what he alleged were the Pope’s foreign policy positions, accusing him of being too soft on Iran’s nuclear ambitions and faulting him for criticizing U.S. military action in Venezuela.

“I don't want a Pope who thinks it's OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon,” he wrote. “I don't want a Pope who thinks it's terrible that America attacked Venezuela.”

Trump defended his own record, saying he did not want “a Pope who criticizes the President of the United States,” and arguing he was carrying out the agenda he had been elected to implement “IN A LANDSLIDE.”

Trump questioning the alliance with NATO

Rethinking the purpose of Cold War's NATO in the 21st century

The worst offender in this regard was Spain, which refused to allow U.S. planes involved in the Iran war to use its airspace. Spain is also the only NATO member that has not committed to spending 5% of GDP on defense.

President Donald Trump is furious at the unwillingness of America’s European allies to aid the U.S. in reopening the Strait of Hormuz — so angry, in fact, that he is calling the continued usefulness of the alliance into question.

“NATO wasn’t there when we needed them, and they won’t be there if we need them again,” Trump fumed in an all-caps Truth Social post after a Wednesday meeting with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte. He added a gratuitous jab at Denmark, “Remember Greenland, that big, poorly run, piece of ice!!!”

Trump’s anger at NATO has been festering for weeks. On March 26, the president wrote (again in all caps), “NATO nations have done absolutely nothing to help with the lunatic nation, now militarily decimated, of Iran. The U.S.A. needs nothing from NATO, but ‘never forget’ this very important point in time!”

Trump does not have unilateral power to withdraw the U.S. from NATO. The 2024 National Defense Authorization Act forbade the president from “suspend[ing], terminat[ing], denounc[ing], or withdraw[ing] the United States from the North Atlantic Treaty” without the advice and consent of the Senate.

But he can begin a conversation about NATO’s purpose, some 77 years after its creation, and that is just what President Trump has chosen to do.

Green Card Revoked held by Iranian

US State Department Revokes Green Card of Iranian Whose Mother Was Involved in 1979 Hostage Crisis

‘Her family should never have been allowed to benefit from the extraordinary privilege of living in our country,’ Rubio said in a post on X.

Three Iranian nationals with ties to the Iranian regime were detained this week after the U.S. government ended their lawful permanent resident statuses.

Seyed Eissa Hashemi, Maryam Tahmasebi, and their son are in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) until they are removed from the United States, according to the U.S. State Department.

Eissa Hashemi is the son of Masoumeh Ebtekar, whom Secretary of State Marco Rubio identified as “Screaming Mary.” Rubio also said she was the spokeswoman for the Islamic terrorists who took American hostages at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1979 and held them for 444 days. Rubio said on X that during their captivity, the hostages were starved, beaten, and subjected to mock executions.

“Her family should never have been allowed to benefit from the extraordinary privilege of living in our country,” Rubio said in a post on X. “America can never become home for anti-American terrorists or their families—and under the Trump Administration, it never will.”

The State Department said that Ebtekar “crafted propaganda” that falsely showed that the American hostages were being treated humanely and that the hostages were pressured to say they were not being abused.

Ebtekar eventually married one of the hostage takers and rose in the senior leadership of Iran’s revolutionary regime, according to the State Department.

Hashemi, Tahmasebi, and their son came to the United States in 2014 on visas issued by the Obama administration.

Lebanon and Israel meeting today

Another uncertain diplomatic meeting happening on U.S. soil

With the Middle East on edge, and the world watching after failed U.S.-Iran talks, a lesser-known diplomatic meeting is set for today between Israel and Lebanon.

Diplomats from both sides are scheduled to meet on U.S. soil, at the State Department, to discuss an end to Israel’s attacks on Hezbollah that parallel the combined U.S.-Israel attacks on Iran.

At issue is a ceasefire, which will be demanded by Lebanon’s ambassador at the same time the IDF is striking Hezbollah targets in and around Beirut. That ongoing military operation is a counterattack after the terrorist group, which is funded and supported by Iran, launched cross-border attacks when the U.S. and Israel launched Operation Epic Fury.

The face-to-face diplomatic talks, which are being called unusual and historic, are also complicated since Lebanon’s well-armed radical Muslims perceive diplomacy with Israel as weakness if not traitorous.

The panic merchants are back on TV, pointing at market swings and calling it a collapse.

But look closer, and you’ll see something very different taking shape. Beneath the volatility, the groundwork for a broader economic reset is being laid—one that favors production over theory, industry over ideology.

The policies of Donald Trump aren’t designed for short-term applause; they’re designed to rewire where capital flows and how growth is generated. That takes time. It takes friction. And it takes patience—something in short supply in today’s headline-driven economy.

Trump Economy Primed For Significant Rebound and those who ignore the short-term panic and volatility in the markets currently, remaining fixated with a long-term perspective, stand to gain the most as a testament to their resilience and fortitude. [Luthmann & PAUL INGRASSIA]

California Healthcare Fraud

Healthcare fraud in CA goes way beyond Hospice

With the recent revelations about massive hospice fraud in California, it increasingly looks as though the whole corrupt state of California needs to be on hospice care.

It would be nice to think that (cue Gatlin Brothers) “all the fraud…in California…is in a bank in the middle of Beverly Hills, and so easy to reclaim.”

But over the years, billions and billions have been pilfered and spent long ago by Democrat Party chiselers who grifted it from the taxpayers, who can barely afford to even live in California themselves.

The top state prosecutor in California, Rob Bonta, a Democrat (of course), is trumpeting his prosecution of 14 fraudulent hospice companies --- 21 individual suspects --- for billing MediCal and Medicaid for $267 million in nonexistent services.

This reportedly came after they received a tip from the California Department of Healthcare Services.

Trump in Miami for UFC fight

Trump and Dana White Wow UFC Crowd

Arrival in Miami--

President Donald Trump arrived in Miami Saturday and headed straight for the Kaseya Center, proving once again that he knows how to make an entrance.

Supporters lined the streets to catch a glimpse of the motorcade, and the scene was exactly what you would expect when a high-profile leader shows up at a big event. No drama, just a crowd excited to see someone they back in person.

People came out in force to cheer, wave flags, and show support as President Donald Trump headed toward the arena. Social media and on-the-ground footage captured the energy. Whether you enjoy the politics or not, you have to admit the turnout tells a clear story about base enthusiasm and grassroots organizing that is hard to ignore.

Later that night President Donald Trump and UFC President Dana White made a big entrance at UFC 327, walking into an arena full of fans. The pairing makes sense. Marco Rubio and media personality Joe Rogan were also present.

UFC has long been a place where tough talk and spectacle meet, and Trump knows a good show when he sees one. The appearance added star power to the event and gave supporters a memorable moment to share online.
