Justice Kagan rebukes fellow liberal Jackson in footnote over free speech ruling on Colorado conversion therapy ban

Justice Elena Kagan sided with seven colleagues to strike down Colorado's ban on so-called conversion therapy for minors, then used a footnote in her concurrence to take apart the reasoning of the lone holdout, fellow liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.

The 8-1 decision, handed down Tuesday, found that Colorado's 2019 law restricting what licensed therapists could say to minor clients amounted to unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination under the First Amendment.

The ruling is a landmark win for religious liberty and free speech. But the sharper story may be what happened inside the Court's liberal wing, where Kagan and Justice Sonia Sotomayor broke from Jackson and joined the conservative majority, then went out of their way to explain why Jackson's dissent didn't hold together.

That kind of public correction between ideological allies is rare. It signals that Jackson's position, that states can regulate therapists' speech as mere "professional conduct", failed to persuade even the justices most sympathetic to her worldview.

Judge says Trump can't defund NPR and PBS

Obama appointed Federal judge permanently blocks Trump executive order defunding NPR and PBS

A federal judge in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday permanently blocked President Donald Trump's executive order directing all federal agencies to cut off funding to NPR and PBS, ruling the action unconstitutional and calling it one of the clearest cases of government viewpoint discrimination he had seen.

U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss, an Obama appointee, found the executive order "unlawful and unenforceable" under the First Amendment. The ruling goes beyond the now-defunct Corporation for Public Broadcasting, barring federal agencies across the board from denying funding to the two media entities based on the president's directive.

The White House wasted no time pushing back. Spokesperson Abigail Jackson called it "a ridiculous ruling by an activist judge attempting to undermine the law," Fox News Digital reported.

Here is the core tension: taxpayers have a legitimate interest in deciding where their money goes, and the president has a legitimate interest in executing the spending priorities Congress sets.

But the judiciary keeps stepping in to tell this administration what it cannot do, and in this case, the judge's reasoning raises real questions about whether federal courts are effectively granting media organizations a permanent entitlement to public dollars.

What the judge said, and what he missed

The White House asserted that Congress had already voted to defund NPR and PBS. The administration has signaled it expects to appeal.

Judge Moss has ruled against Trump several times.

The Obama and Trump Presidential Libraries

Donald J Trump Presidential Library

"In a city of respected art deco buildings, ridicule is being heaped on the latest structure proposed for Miami’s skyline: the Donald J Trump presidential library, unveiled in ambitious plans posted to social media on Monday night.

A 1 minute 40 second video tour of the proposed gargantuan structure revealed it will be decked, almost inevitably, in Trump’s trademark gold, including a giant statue of him, and will feature Air Force One, the $400m Boeing “flying palace” gifted to him by Qatar, in its cavernous lobby.

Its 50 storys will tower above any structure surrounding it, including the adjacent Miami Freedom Tower, a symbol of US rejection of oppression and tyranny for more than 100 years.

“This landmark on the water in Miami, Florida will stand as a lasting testament to an amazing man, an amazing developer, and the greatest President our Nation has ever known,” Eric Trump, the president’s son and the co-chair of the non-profit foundation seeking donations to build the library, gushed on social media.

The release came on the same day that Florida’s Republican governor, Ron DeSantis, signed a law renaming Palm Beach international airport, near Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home, to the President Donald J Trump international airport." [The Guardian]

The U.K.'s Guardian says it's "gawdy" and Democrats and the main stream media prefer Obama's library. LOL.

Poland believes NATO is a service it receives, not a covenant it upholds

Poland’s Break With NATO Raises A Difficult Question: What Comes Next?

"There is a moment in the life of any institution when its defining contradiction becomes impossible to ignore.

The contradiction does not appear all at once. It accumulates slowly, like water behind a dam, and then one day a small, concrete event makes visible what had been hiding in plain sight for years. For NATO, that moment arrived when Poland said "no."

The sequence of events deserves to be told plainly, because its logic is devastating.

Iran, through no fault of Turkey’s, targeted a NATO member state with multiple ballistic missile attacks. Turkey, a dues-paying, treaty-bound member of the North Atlantic Alliance, turned to a fellow member for help. It asked Poland to provide a single Patriot air defense battery on a temporary basis, for the straightforward purpose of protecting Turkish civilians and territory from a foreign nation’s missiles. Poland refused.

The United States intervened diplomatically. Washington took up Turkey’s case directly and asked Poland to reconsider. Poland refused again. Consider what that second refusal means.

The United States stations 10,000 of its own troops in Poland, positioned roughly 50 miles from Russian territory. Those soldiers are accompanied by 170 Abrams tanks, hundreds of Bradley fighting vehicles, F-16s, F-15s, and periodic deployments of F-35s. American forces in Poland are not a symbolic gesture. They are a tripwire, and everyone in Warsaw knows it.

If Russia attacked Poland, it would not merely be attacking a NATO member. It would be attacking American soldiers, which means it would be at war with the United States of America.

That guarantee, backed by American blood and treasure, is the single most powerful deterrent Poland possesses. It dwarfs anything in the Polish inventory, including the Patriot batteries Poland chose to keep for itself rather than temporarily share with an ally under fire."

Senate Democrats used a funding fight to try to gut immigration enforcement

Three House Democrats defy Jeffries, vote with Republicans to fund DHS and immigration enforcement

Three House Democrats broke ranks with Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on Friday and voted to fully fund the Department of Homeland Security, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol.

Reps. Henry Cuellar of Texas, Don Davis of North Carolina, and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington joined 209 House Republicans and independent Rep. Kevin Kiley of California in backing Speaker Mike Johnson's 60-day funding patch.

According to the Washington Examiner, the vote handed Johnson a key win after a weeks-long shutdown fight over immigration enforcement, and it exposed a crack in the Democratic wall that Jeffries has been working to hold together.

The reason for the crack is simple: the Democratic position is untenable, and a few of their members finally admitted it. Defunding Border Patrol isn't a winning hand.

Illegal Trangender rapist got a plea deal from Alvin Bragg

'Trans' illegal alien rapist who attacked 14-year-old boy reaches appalling plea deal with Bragg's office

Under the deal, Nicol Suarez would already have served his sentence.

An illegal alien from Colombia who pled guilty to rape last week has reached a shocking plea agreement with the office of Democrat Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

According to the terms of the agreement, Nicol Suarez, a 31-year-old biological male who identifies as transgender, would be sentenced to six months, a sentence he has already served while awaiting trial, in exchange for pleading guilty to second-degree rape.

In New York, second-degree rape typically results in two to seven years behind bars.

What's more, Suarez has been accused of violent crimes — armed robbery, prostitution, and assault with a dangerous weapon — in Massachusetts, and the New York Post also alluded to possible outstanding charges in New Jersey.

The Trump Department of Homeland Security has slammed the lenient plea deal, calling the offered six-month sentence "insane."

Why would this criminal even be offered a plea deal? I guess because ICE filed an immigration detainer and we know Democrats hate ICE. Just shows that Democrats are always indulgent towards illegals.

John Seaman's new dossier, which claims documentary evidence, is lighting a political fuse, alleging a coordinated effort stretching from Barack Obama’s White House to foreign actors in Ukraine.

All are aimed at shaping U.S. elections and kneecapping Donald Trump before and during his presidency.

The report claims a pattern: revived investigations, leaked opposition material, buried evidence, and a narrative machine that drove impeachment and public perception.

Names like Joe Biden, intelligence officials, and Ukrainian operatives surface repeatedly. Whether proven or disputed, the allegations cut to the core of election integrity—and raise serious questions about who was really pulling the strings. [Richard Luthmann]

Mamdani's promised $1.7 billion in budget cuts collapses to just $200 million in actual savings

Mayor Zohran Mamdani's administration released a list of proposed budget savings on Wednesday totaling $200 million. The problem: he promised $1.7 billion.

That means City Hall has publicly accounted for roughly 12 cents of every dollar it pledged to cut from a bloated $127 billion proposed budget, with a $5.4 billion deficit bearing down on New York City taxpayers.

The list itself tells you everything you need to know about how seriously this administration takes fiscal discipline.

Among the highlighted savings: a $20,000 Slack messaging subscription at the Taxi and Limousine Commission. A $133,000 software change at NYC Emergency Management. The Economic Development Corporation will save $626,000 by bringing marketing in-house.

This is what passes for budgetary courage at City Hall.

Ilhan and Immigration Fraud

Vance declares White House will pursue Ilhan Omar over alleged immigration fraud

Vice President J.D. Vance said Friday that the White House "definitely" believes Rep. Ilhan Omar committed immigration fraud and that administration officials are actively working to determine how to build a legal case against the Minnesota Democrat.

The remarks, made on "The Benny Johnson Show," mark the most direct public statement yet from a sitting vice president on allegations that have trailed Omar for years.

Vance told Johnson he had recently spoken with White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller about the matter and that the two are exploring what legal remedies exist.

The comments arrived the same day the vice president's new anti-fraud task force convened for the first time, a body specifically charged with cracking down on social-services fraud across the country, with a particular focus on Minnesota.

The vice president did not announce a specific legal action or filing. But the language he used left little room for ambiguity about the administration's intentions, as the Daily Caller reported.

Kyrsten Sinema being sued

Former Democrat Senator Kyrsten Sinema faces alienation of affection lawsuit after admitting affair with married bodyguard

Former Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema admitted in court filings that she carried on a romantic and sexual relationship with a married member of her security detail while still serving in Congress, and now his estranged wife wants her to pay for it.

Heather Ammel, the wife of Sinema's former bodyguard Matthew Ammel, has sued the ex-senator under North Carolina's alienation of affection law, accusing Sinema of "intentional and malicious interference" in the Ammels' marriage. The complaint seeks at least $25,000 in compensatory damages plus punitive damages, Fox News Digital reported.

North Carolina is one of just six states that still recognize alienation of affection claims, a legal cause of action rooted in the 19th century that allows a jilted spouse to sue the person they blame for destroying a marriage.

And the facts alleged in this complaint read less like a dry legal filing and more like a soap opera set against a backdrop of Dom Pérignon, Taylor Swift concerts, encrypted messaging apps, and psychedelic drugs.

Time To Expose The Fraud...

Scott Bessent Drops The Hammer

New Rule Could Pay Tipsters 10-30% to Expose Fraud and Drain the Taxpayer Swamp

On March 30, 2026, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent delivered another powerful blow against the federal fraud machine — and this time, he’s turning everyday Americans into paid fraud fighters.

FinCEN — the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network — proposed a new rule that will reward whistleblowers with 10% to 30% of penalties collected in successful enforcement actions, provided those penalties exceed $1 million. The targets are clear: Bank Secrecy Act violations, sanctions evasion, and large-scale fraud schemes that have been looting taxpayer dollars for far too long.

And here’s the best part for every working American: these rewards will come directly from the fines and penalties recovered — not from new taxes on honest citizens. The fraudsters and money launderers get to foot the bill for their own exposure.

Tips can be submitted confidentially through the dedicated whistleblower portal at fincen.gov/whistleblower. No need to go public, no risk of retaliation — just deliver the facts and let FinCEN investigators take it from there.

The response has already been overwhelming. Since the whistleblower portal launched, over 700 leads have poured in. Banks are stepping up too, filing 20% more suspicious activity reports as scrutiny intensifies.

No Kings and vulgar white women at Mar-A-Lago

'No Kings' rallies erupt into violence in Portland, Los Angeles, and Dallas as protests spread nationwide

Thousands of anti-Trump demonstrators filled streets across the country Saturday under the banner of "No Kings", and in at least three cities, the marches turned violent, with protesters hurling cement blocks at federal agents, clashing with police, and forcing officers into riot gear.

Near Mar-a-Lago, the scene took a different kind of turn when vulgar female protesters lifted their shirts outside the president's Florida residence in what the Post described as a lewd display directed at the president's residence. Whatever political message that was meant to convey, it is unlikely to persuade anyone who was not already persuaded.

The protests, organized against the Trump administration, stretched from Portland, Oregon, to New York City. But the sharpest confrontations played out in Los Angeles, where Department of Homeland Security agents deployed tear gas after demonstrators attacked them outside a federal detention facility.

hey also played out in Portland, where evening demonstrations spiraled out of control; and in Dallas, where police had to physically separate opposing groups, the New York Post reported.

The pattern is now familiar. Protests marketed as democratic expression devolve into targeted aggression against federal law enforcement, and the officials tasked with keeping order in blue cities are slow to intervene, unable to intervene, or unwilling to try.

Florida just dropped a legislative hammer, and the message is unmistakable: no more gray zones when it comes to terror-linked organizations.

With Governor Ron DeSantis poised to sign sweeping anti-terror bills, lawmakers are moving to codify what a federal court temporarily blocked.

The clash traces back to Executive Order 25-244 and a sharp rebuke from U.S. District Judge Mark E. Walker, who halted enforcement after challenges from Council on American-Islamic Relations and allied groups.

Now, Tallahassee is rewriting the rules—tightening procedures, raising penalties, and daring critics to stop them.

Once signed, Florida will have a clear, fact-based tool to cut off public support for groups supportive of or engaged in terrorist activity – exactly as the Executive Order intended. [Luthmann]

Former Iranian hostage speaks out

Iran hostage survivor backs Operation Epic Fury

Warns regime must never obtain nuclear weapons

Kevin Hermening spent 444 days blindfolded, handcuffed, and sleeping on a bare box spring inside revolutionary Iran. He was 20 years old. A Marine sergeant. One of more than 50 Americans seized during the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis. He watched a fellow captive get beaten. He prayed for deliverance.

More than four decades later, Hermening says President Donald Trump finally did what no president before him was willing to do.

Speaking with Fox News Radio's Dave Anthony, Hermening offered a clear verdict on Operation Epic Fury, the joint U.S.-Israeli campaign that followed the Feb. 28 strikes resulting in the death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei:

"I do believe that the president absolutely did the right thing for the first time in more than 40 years. In this case, to deny the Iranian regime in their pursuit of nuclear weapons."

For more than 40 years. That sentence carries decades of failed diplomacy, abandoned leverage, and strategic cowardice. Multiple administrations talked. They sanctioned. They negotiated frameworks that Iran violated before the ink dried. They sent pallets of cash. They looked away while centrifuges spun.

Trump acted.

Eric Swalwell and Fang Fang

Patel Seeks Release of Swalwell Documents

Well, he is running for Governor of California

What Patel Wants Released

FBI Director Kash Patel has reportedly ordered agents to prepare decade old investigative files about Rep. Eric Swalwell and a suspected Chinese intelligence operative known as Fang Fang for public release. The files come from an inquiry that did not produce criminal charges.

Still, Patel is pushing fast redactions and a near immediate disclosure of those records to the public. That kind of move is unusual from the FBI but tells you how serious the director is about transparency in this matter.

What the Files Allegedly Contain

Reports say the intelligence community compiled a classified dossier describing how Fang Fang operated as a donor and bundler for Democrats and how she allegedly had an intimate relationship with Swalwell. Some media outlets have claimed the files include explicit details about the relationship.

Officials who have seen portions of the material have described it as politically explosive, even if it did not lead to charges at the time.

Why Release Matters Now

Releasing the files would let the public see what the FBI and intelligence community knew and when they knew it. Conservatives argue this is about accountability and about ensuring lawmakers with possible foreign entanglements did not retain access to sensitive national security information.

Critics worry releasing raw investigative material could unfairly smear people before full vetting. Both points deserve attention, but transparency tends to build trust while secrecy breeds suspicion.

The investigation in question occurred between 2011 and 2015, during which time the FBI was led by Robert Mueller (until September 2013) and then James Comey.
