Mad Max wants her job back

Maxine Waters Wants Her Job Back

Rep. Maxine Waters says she’ll try to reclaim the Financial Services chair if Democrats win the House in 2026. She’ll be 88 by then. That single fact has people asking a simple question: when does public service become an open seat for new leaders?

Waters has represented south Los Angeles for nearly 35 years. In 2019 she became the first Black woman to lead the Financial Services Committee. That committee handles big-ticket issues — financial regulation, cryptocurrency, housing policy and lending rules.

She’s not shy about her plans. “If you take a look at my energy and what I do — I am Auntie Maxine,” Waters told Politico. “I’m the one who popularized ‘reclaiming my time.’” That confidence resonates with longtime supporters. It also fuels criticism from others who want a generational shift.

People on the committee — speaking anonymously to Politico — complained about fundraising and a lack of direct support to other members. Some say she hogs the spotlight and doesn’t make room for younger talent.

Still, colleagues praised her ability to win bipartisan support on housing and insurance issues and to keep focus on everyday constituents instead of billionaires.

Ayatollah reported to be in Russia

Ayatollah Fled to Russia, IRGC Has Taken Control

A stunning new Newsmax Platinum Intelligence Brief pulls back the curtain on the real power structure inside Iran — and the implications could reshape the Middle East overnight.

Drawing on a senior Gulf-based source, the report reveals how Iran’s civilian leadership has been effectively sidelined.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is now driving nearly all major decisions — from military strategy to nuclear policy.

Even more alarming, the country’s top leadership is described as increasingly isolated and vulnerable, amid growing fears of deep foreign intelligence penetration.

Jeffries Launches Defund ICE Discharge Petition During DHS Shutdown

Hakeem Jeffries Moved to Defund ICE and Mike Johnson Just Revealed What That Actually Means

Democrats destroyed cities with "defund the police" – and lost badly when voters noticed.

Now Hakeem Jeffries just recycled the exact same move by targeting federal law enforcement.

But Steve Scalise just called him out by name and said the obvious thing everyone else is thinking.

With the DHS shutdown grinding past its 34th day, Jeffries launched a discharge petition Wednesday designed to force a House floor vote on funding most of the Department of Homeland Security – but explicitly cutting out Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection...

• Every TSA screener, every FEMA worker, every Coast Guard sailor – funded.
• The two agencies responsible for stopping fentanyl, child traffickers, and terrorist threats at the border – zeroed out.

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise didn't need a teleprompter to explain what was happening. "If you look, they fund everything except the law enforcement side, which is defunding the police," Scalise told Fox News Digital.

"So here they go again. Democrats, for some reason, just hate law enforcement."

Sheriff Bradshaw on Immigration Enforcement

Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said his agency has been consistent on immigration enforcement

as other Florida sheriffs made headlines expressing opinion that some enforcement has gone too far

As Florida sheriffs are expressing public reservations about excessive immigration enforcement, the sheriff of Palm Beach County — an area that leads the state in law enforcement contacts with undocumented immigrants — says his stance has not changed.

Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw told WLRN his officers weren't conducting sweeps, raids, or proactively enforcing immigration law, something he has maintained since last year.

" I'll do what I have to do in the normal course of law enforcement contacts and business because you can't do anything less than that," Bradshaw said.

"But we're not out here looking for people," he continued, "Stopping 'em on the streets, knocking on people's doors, going to places where people are working that we know are Hispanics. 'Ain't happening."

For years, the Russia collusion narrative dominated headlines, investigations, and public trust—framed as the scandal that would bring down a presidency.

Now, with documents, testimony, and hindsight, the focus is shifting from the target to the architects. Questions that once lingered on the margins are moving center stage: what was known, what was claimed, and what was proven?

The story is no longer just about politics—it’s about process, power, and accountability. And if the foundations of that investigation were flawed or misrepresented, the consequences reach far beyond one man or one moment.

The Russian Collusion Hoax was the greatest single abuse of power and political dirty trick in US History. [Roger Stone]

Exotic Animal Smugglers at our Border

How CBP Caught a Wildlife Smuggler at the Laredo Border Crossing

On March 5, CBP officers at the World Trade Bridge in Laredo ran outbound operations on a 2021 Peterbilt tractor headed into Mexico.

The driver gave a negative declaration for prohibited goods. Officers searched the truck anyway. Inside, they found 39 pythons – each one sealed in its own fabric bag, alive but in poor condition from the transport.

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service agents took custody of the snakes and moved them to a controlled environment.

CBP seized the tractor and trailer. The driver was hit with $34,824 in export violation penalties.

Reptiles account for roughly 70% of all exotic pet seizures at U.S. ports of entry, and CBP's Hidalgo port director said flatly that exotic pet smuggling is on the rise in South Texas.

Iran threat demands Democrat action

Jeh Johnson urges Congress to fund DHS, warns Iran threat demands action

Jeh Johnson, the man who ran the Department of Homeland Security under Barack Obama, went on "Fox & Friends" Thursday and told Congress to do its job. Fund DHS. End the shutdown. Stop playing games with national security.

It has now been more than a month since Democrats blocked a funding measure and left the Department of Homeland Security operating in limbo. Johnson, no ally of the current administration, made clear he thinks the standoff is indefensible.

"The most basic function of Congress is to keep the lights on and fund the government."

Hard to argue with that. And yet, Senate Democrats have managed to do exactly that for weeks on end.

Johnson didn't just make a process argument. He pointed to something far more urgent.

"Let's not forget that we are now in a heightened threat environment because of the war against Iran, so if there was ever a time that we would need to fund the Department of Homeland Security, it's right now."

Aliens.gov

The US government has just obtained new domain names and it's all about aliens...

alien.gov and aliens.gov, according to publicly available federal records.

The alien question has evolved from internet theories to the peaks of politics, with both current and former presidents now openly addressing the possibility that we're not alone in the universe.

Last month, Donald Trump's daughter-in-law rumoured that the US President plans to deliver a speech on extraterrestrial life when the 'time is right.'

The U.S. government registered the domain name “Aliens.gov” a month after President Donald Trump promised to release all federal files on UFOs and supposed extraterrestrial sightings.

The new registrations by the Executive Office of the President was first spotted by a BlueSky bot that monitors federal domains, according to 404 Media, but no website exists at the addresses yet.

Former president Barack Obama caused a stir in February when he appeared on the No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen podcast and appeared to admit the existence of little green men.

Shooter in Lake Worth Beach

Man accused of shooting multiple people inside warehouse, leaving one wounded

LAKE WORTH BEACH, Fla. (CBS12) — A man is accused of walking into a warehouse and firing multiple rounds at several people, shooting one man in the neck back in February.

According to an arrest report from the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office (PBSO), on February 21, deputies responded to South J Terrace in Lake Worth Beach after receiving reports of a shooting. The report states that upon arrival, deputies located the victim, who was suffering from a gunshot wound to the neck.

The man was treated at the scene and later transported to St. Mary's Medical Center for further treatment, according to the criminal complaint. Later the shooter was transferred there as well.

How to get the Save Act passed

John Kennedy Just Disclosed the JD Vance Trick That Could Save the SAVE Act

John Kennedy stood on the Senate floor Wednesday and said seven words Chuck Schumer never wanted to hear.

“We can pass this bill with 50 votes.” And the move he just laid out could flip the entire SAVE Act fight before Democrats know what hit them. He’s talking about budget reconciliation – the same procedural weapon Democrats used in 2010 to ram through Obamacare after they lost their 60-vote Senate supermajority.

Here’s how it works. Budget reconciliation bills can’t be filibustered. They require only 51 votes – or 50 with JD Vance breaking the tie. Democrats used it to transform one-sixth of the American economy without a single Republican vote. Now Kennedy is asking why Republicans can’t use the exact same tool to require proof of citizenship to vote.

The SAVE America Act is simple: if you want to vote in a federal election, prove you’re a citizen. That’s it.

The House passed it in February. Every Senate Republican except Lisa Murkowski voted to advance debate this week. And Democrats are filibustering it like their lives depend on it – because their electoral survival does.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who spent years telling Americans that only citizens vote, is now leading the charge to block a bill that would simply verify that claim. He told reporters his caucus is “prepared for every possible scenario” to kill it. Not slow it down. Kill it.

Majority Leader John Thune controls 53 Republican seats. He needs 60 votes to break the filibuster. He doesn’t have them – and he’s said repeatedly he won’t blow up the filibuster rule to get there.

American citizenship is not a right to be handed out like candy—it is a sacred privilege, earned through loyalty to our Constitution, our values, and our way of life, says Brigitte Gabriel.

Yet far too many newly naturalized immigrants are treating it as a license to prey on the very communities that welcomed them. They swear the oath, then turn around and commit felonies that shatter lives, drain our resources, and erode the trust that holds America together.

Look at the evidence staring us in the face: the brutal attacks on a Michigan synagogue and a Virginia university, and the staggering fraud scandals that have ripped through states like Minnesota and California.

These are not random tragedies. These are the actions of “New Americans” who arrived here not to build, but to exploit, defraud, and destroy. They come to our shores with one goal—to take advantage of our generosity and then turn our own system against us. This is not immigration. This is infiltration.

Iran given a 2 day ultimatum

Trump Threatens to ‘Obliterate’ Iranian Power Plants if Strait of Hormuz Is Not Reopened Within 48 Hours

President Trump issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Iran on Saturday, warning that the United States would strike Iranian power plants if the Strait of Hormuz is not reopened.

The threat marked a major escalation as tensions rose around the vital waterway that carries roughly one-fifth of the world’s crude oil.

President Trump delivered the warning in a Truth Social post on Saturday.

He wrote, “If Iran doesn’t FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48 HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST!”

Kent Resignation Letter Stunt

Former Trump deputy chief of staff says Joe Kent was about to be fired before resignation stunt over Iran

Joe Kent, a key deputy to Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, posted a resignation letter on X on Tuesday declaring he could no longer serve in the administration. His stated reason: opposition to the "ongoing war in Iran."

Within hours, a former top White House official was publicly suggesting Kent didn't quit on principle. He was about to get shown the door.

Taylor Budowich, President Trump's former deputy chief of staff, wasted no time torching Kent's exit on X:

"Joe Kent is a crazed egomaniac who was often at the center of national security leaks, while rarely (never?) producing any actual work."

"He spent all of his time working to subvert the chain of command and undermine the President of the United States."

Budowich's conclusion was blunt:
"This isn't some principled resignation — he just wanted to make a splash before getting canned. What a loser."

The drama of posting your resignation letter on social media tells you everything about the intended audience. This was performance, not principle.

"Too Late" Jerome Powell should leave at end of Fed Term

Jerome Powell Doubles Down On Past Rate Mistakes

By Peter Navarro
March 19, 2026

In holding rates steady, Jerome Powell—the worst Fed Chair since Arthur Burns—has once again let his anti-Trump animus cloud his judgment. The damage will not show up only on Wall Street.

It will show up in the monthly payment on a starter home, the financing costs of a machine-tool purchase, the builder who delays a project, the manufacturer who shelves an expansion, and the family that watches its credit costs stay painfully high while the Powell Fed congratulates itself for being “disciplined.”

This is not just a spiteful and damaging policy mistake. It is a fundamental misreading of the economy.

Powell continues to act as if inflation is broad-based, demand-driven, and on the verge of reaccelerating. Powell has clearly signaled his intention to remain on the Board of Governors even after his term as Chair expires.

This is nothing more than a Powell extortion expedition for a “plea deal”—having possibly acted above the law, he is trying to evade any possible accountability by conditioning his departure on the Department of Justice dropping its probe of Powell.

Pete Hegseth- Pentagon update on War

The Iran "excursion" - When will it end?

US deploys thousands more for the war as Iran threatens world tourism sites

On one of the holiest days on the Islamic calendar, Iran fired on Israel and energy sites in neighboring Gulf Arab states, insisting that it can still build missiles and issuing a new threat, to deny safety to its enemies in “parks, recreational areas and tourist destinations” worldwide.

Israel meanwhile pounded Tehran with airstrikes as Iranians marked Nowruz, the Persian New Year.

The US military is deploying three more warships and roughly 2,500 more marines to the Middle East, where there’s no end to the war in sight despite three weeks of U.S. and Israeli air strikes that have decimated Iran’s military and leadership.

The Pentagon’s request for another $200 billion to fund the war would need congressional approval as the U.S. national debt hits a record $39 trillion.

U.S. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel will stop attacking the gas field that Iranians depend on for most of their electricity at the request of U.S. President Donald Trump. Iran responded to Israel’s attack on the field by intensifying targeting of energy infrastructure in other Middle East countries, sending oil and gas prices soaring.

The death toll has risen to more than 1,300 people in Iran, more than 1,000 people in Lebanon, 15 in Israel and 13 U.S. military members in the region. Millions of people in Lebanon and Iran have been displaced.
