Fauci looked Rand Paul in the eye and swore the federal government never funded gain-of-function research in Wuhan.

His own NIH deputy contradicted him three years later.

Now Tulsi Gabbard is investigating 120 U.S.-funded biolabs – and coming for the people who buried it. The Office of the Director of National Intelligence has opened an investigation into more than 120 biological laboratories overseas that operated for decades on American tax dollars.

More than 40 of those labs are in Ukraine – a country the Biden administration swore had no U.S.-connected biological research facilities.

That denial aged badly.

Lake Worth raised electric rates to cope with rising power costs

Lake Worth Beach could cut electric rate under these conditions

Chris Persaud, Palm Beach Post

A fee on Lake Worth Beach electric customers' bills, which city officials raised months ago in the face of an unexpected winter chill, is slowly bringing the city-owned utility out of a six-figure financial hole, fueling hope that the rate can be cut again.

The hike to the utility's power cost adjustment fee netted nearly $271,000 from its nearly 30,000 customers in March, the first month it was in place, a recent report shows. That's the largest amount collected in at least two years.

The utility buys fuel and energy with money it collects through the fee, and it also aims to build savings in case either of surges in energy prices or electricity demand. Lake Worth Beach is Palm Beach County's only city generating its own electricity.

City commissioners approved the increase Jan. 29, anticipating a spike in energy demand due to a giant blast of winter air. But commissioners also voted for the rate hike after data presented to them by utility director Ed Liberty showed energy purchases cost more than the power cost adjustment fee brought in.

The utility spent $1.2 million more than the fee collected during 2025. The power cost adjustment fee in 2025 rose from $24.38 per megawatt in January to $33.96 by the end of year, before reaching $40.96 in March this year. The fee mainly pays for natural gas and solar power.

While Lake Worth Beach gets less of its energy from natural gas compared to other places — about 32% during the first quarter of 2026 vs. 70% for Florida Power & Light Co. in 2025.

Illegal from Mexico committed election fraud

Kansas Mayor’s ICE Detention Shakes Up Town

Jose “Joe” Ceballos-Armendariz, 55, turned himself in to Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials at their Wichita office on Wednesday. He is now being held at the ICE-contracted Chase County Jail in Cottonwood Falls and could face deportation proceedings.

Ceballos is a Mexican national who has held a green card since 1990. He also served two terms as mayor of Coldwater, Kansas, a small conservative town in Comanche County with fewer than 700 residents. He was first elected in 2021 and then won re-election in 2025 with 83% of the vote.

The legal trouble became public the day after that re-election, when Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach announced felony election fraud charges. Court records show that Ceballos voted in multiple elections even though he knew he was not a U.S. citizen. Records also say he admitted during a January citizenship application that he had falsely claimed U.S. citizenship.

In April, Ceballos pleaded guilty to three misdemeanor counts of disorderly election conduct. The plea deal brought a $2,000 fine and one year of probation, but no jail time. He has said he believed his green card allowed him to vote and that he felt “misled” by the plea agreement.

Tracking trash in Lake Worth Lagoon

If you see this purple card floating in the water, here’s what to do

How ‘citizen scientists’ can help track trash with the latest Lake Worth Lagoon Drift Card Study.

Calling all visitors to Palm Beach County’s waterways: Be on the lookout for hundreds of floating purple cards.

If you find one, you’ve stumbled onto a research mission involving citizen scientists and a study of how debris moves through inland waterways and accumulates on the coastline.

The 15th Lake Worth Lagoon Drift Card Study kicked off May 1 when volunteers deployed 320 bright purple cards made of thin biodegradable wood at eight different sites in Palm Beach County — from Burt Reynolds Park in Jupiter to Silver Palms Park in Boca Raton.

Big Brother Surveilled Bret Baier

Bret Baier is Furious about a $40 Ticket in Beijing and How He Got it Should Terrify Every American

The Chinese Communist Party has built the most suffocating surveillance state in human history.

Now a Fox News crew just experienced it firsthand – and the system caught them before they could even turn off the engine.

Standing outside Haidian Station on Wednesday, Baier pointed to the skyline and counted – at minimum – twenty cameras on a single street corner. Beijing has added 1,500 new cameras just this year alone.

"They see everything," Baier told viewers of Special Report. "There's nobody jaywalking here because they could get a ticket right away."

Then came the moment that made the clip go viral: Baier's own driver parked illegally for two minutes and had a $40 fine on his phone before the crew could even set up a shot.

No officer. No confrontation. No warning.

A December 2025 report from the Austrian Strategic Policy Institute estimated approximately 600 million surveillance cameras operating across China – one of the densest surveillance networks on earth.

The infrastructure runs on a platform called Skynet, which integrates AI facial recognition, real-time traffic enforcement, and a national data-sharing system that feeds law enforcement agencies around the clock. Jaywalkers are photographed and fined automatically.

Sharia Law

Political Islam and Sharia supremacy are incompatible with the Western legal and political order

Say it plainly. America has one Constitution, one civil law, and one sovereign people. No parallel courts. No religious veto over speech. No imported honor codes. No beachheads masquerading as “community infrastructure.”

At the “Sharia-Free America” hearing, Amy Mek and other witnesses described a coordinated ideological project: schools, courts, nonprofits, taxpayer dollars, and grievance machinery used to normalize a system that does not believe in equal liberty under law.

Muslims have rights in America. Sharia does not get supremacy over the Constitution. That line must hold.

Jimmy Lai the China political prisoner

Trump says Xi told him release of Jimmy Lai ‘would be a tough one’

China systematically suppresses democratic movements both domestically and abroad

After his two-day meeting in China this week, President Donald Trump said May 15 that Chinese leader Xi Jinping responded negatively when he raised the potential release of Jimmy Lai, the Catholic, pro-democracy advocate a Hong Kong court recently sentenced to 20 years in prison.

According to Reuters, Trump told journalists aboard Air Force One during his return flight to the U.S. that Xi was “giving very serious consideration” to releasing Zion Church founder Pastor Jin Mingri but indicated Lai’s case would be “a tough one.”

“He told ⁠me that would be a tough one,” Trump said.

In an interview with FOX News Channel’s “Special Report,” the President added that Xi’s response to the request “was not positive.”

Trump said that Xi “went through a whole thing and I said, ‘Well, we'd appreciate if you would release him. He's gotten old, and he's probably not ​feeling too well. It would be nice.’ And I did not feel ​optimistic. I have to be honest with you about that one,” according to Reuters.

Wikipedia: Lai Chee-ying, also known as Jimmy Lai, is a Hong Kong businessman, politician, and political prisoner. He founded the clothing retailer Giordano, the media company Next Digital, and the newspaper Apple Daily. He is one of the main contributors to Hong Kong's pro-democracy camp, especially to the Democratic Party.

Why Gordon Chang Is Sounding the Alarm--Gordon Chang has spent his career tracking how China turns economic access into geopolitical leverage.

He didn't hedge.

"China's regime will use investments in America to subvert and destroy our country," Chang posted. "Do not allow our enemy more bases of subversion here."

He called China America's enemy. Not a competitor. Not a rival. An enemy. [Renewedright]

WTH is Trump thinking even considering a $1 trillion China investment deal in American factories?

DOJ seeks death penalty in the murders of 2 Israeli Embassy staffers

The Justice Department will seek the death penalty

for the man accused of fatally shooting two staff members of the Israeli Embassy in Washington

This happened outside a Jewish museum, prosecutors said in a court filing Friday.

Elias Rodriguez faces federal hate crime and murder charges in the killings of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim as they left an event at the museum last May.

Rodriguez shouted “Free Palestine” during the shooting and later told police, “I did it for Palestine, I did it for Gaza,” according to his indictment.

The charges against Rodriguez include a hate crime resulting in death. The indictment also includes notice of special findings, which allows prosecutors to pursue the death penalty.

The Racket Nobody Is Talking About

Congress Is About to Cut Off Foreign Investors Who Have Been Gaming American Courts for Profit

Democrats spent four years screaming about foreign interference while ignoring the foreign money quietly colonizing American courtrooms.

Now a Republican congressman from Oklahoma is about to slam the door shut. And the moment this bill passes, a multibillion-dollar industry built on exploiting American families is finished.

Here is how it works:

A foreign hedge fund or sovereign wealth fund bankrolls a lawsuit against an American manufacturer. The lawsuit may be weak – the kind that would never have been filed without a deep-pocketed backer looking for a payday. But fighting it is expensive.

So the American company settles, not because they're guilty, but because the game is rigged in favor of whoever is financing the case. The foreign funder collects a cut of the settlement and wires the money out of the country.

Stacey Abrams served Subpoena

Georgia Senators Subpoenaed Stacey Abrams and She Has Until Friday to Explain the Missing Millions

Stacey Abrams built a $100 million national brand telling America she fights for election integrity.

Now Georgia senators want to know where $4.2 million in secret election money actually went. They just subpoenaed her – and she has until Friday to show up and answer.

The Georgia State Ethics Commission ruled earlier this year that the New Georgia Project and its affiliated Action Fund violated campaign finance laws during the 2018 election cycle. The groups admitted to all 16 violations. They paid $300,000 – a record fine in Georgia history.

Then the New Georgia Project quietly shut down and dissolved in 2025. That's not how innocent organizations behave. The Ethics Commission found that the New Georgia Project raised $4.2 million and spent $3.2 million to support Abrams and other Democrats during the 2018 cycle.

Not a single dollar of it was disclosed. That's not a paperwork mistake. They ran a multi-million-dollar influence operation on Georgia elections and told regulators they weren't doing anything of the sort.

Amy Mek's Explosive Congressional Testimony

RAIR Foundation USA’s Amy Mek Testifies at Explosive 'Sharia-Free America' Congressional Hearing

At Part II of the “Sharia-Free America” hearing, RAIR Founder Amy Mek delivered devastating testimony proving that Islam and Sharia are fundamentally incompatible with the U.S. Constitution.

She ripped the veil off the Muslim Brotherhood’s infiltration of schools, courts, and government, while Rep. Chip Roy directly confronted the growing Islamic threat.

As Islamic operatives attempted to intimidate witnesses, one Baptist activist defended Sharia – exposing the dangerous alliance shielding Islam.

RAIR’s own Founder and Editor-in-Chief, Amy Mek, delivered a no-holds-barred testimony that ripped the mask off the 1,400-year Islamic war on the West.

“Islam is a hostile, totalitarian political ideology using our freedom to destroy us.”
“To every non-Muslim, it offers three choices: convert, submit, or die.”

She detailed the Muslim Brotherhood’s own blueprints – the 1982 “Project” and 1991 Explanatory Memorandum – proving their two-front strategy: build parallel Islamic societies that refuse assimilation while capturing schools, courts, and government from within.

Texas, she warned, is Ground Zero, with over 650 Brotherhood-linked nonprofits, Sharia compounds like Yasir Qadhi’s EPIC City, voucher-funded Islamic schools, mosques preaching brutal Hudud punishments, and allegiance to Iran’s Supreme Leader – all while receiving taxpayer dollars.

Judiciary Committee confronts witness on soft-on crime policies

Jim Jordan CATCHES Soros-backed Attorney with damning question - "Did you lie?!!"

"Why did you change your website right after we started investigating you?!!"

GOP Rep. Jim Jordan confronted high-profile Soros-backed Fairfax Commonwealth’s Attorney Stephen Descano for soft-on-crime policies, letting illegal immigrant criminals off easy, and suspiciously changing his website as soon as he came under investigation.

Jordan called him right out: “A week after we send you a letter asking you to come testify SHAZAM you change your website!” Is that a coincidence?!!”



House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, tussled with high-profile Soros-backed Fairfax Commonwealth’s Attorney Stephen Descano over soft-on-crime policies that critics said let illegal immigrant criminals back on the street.

Descano was seated two spots away from Cheryl Minter, mother of Stephanie Minter, who was allegedly murdered by Sierra Leone national Abdul Jalloh at a bus stop not far from George Washington’s Mount Vernon.

President Trump returns from China

Trump Wraps Beijing Summit

Praise, Pageantry, and Pressure on Iran — But Few Hard Wins on Paper

President Trump departed China on Friday after two days of meetings with Xi Jinping that both sides hailed as a turning point in U.S.-China relations — even as concrete deliverables remained thin.

The summit was the first U.S. presidential visit to Beijing in nearly a decade, and the optics — a state banquet in the Great Hall of the People, a welcome ceremony in Tiananmen Square — were unlike anything Washington has gotten from China in years.

Trump told reporters he and Xi settled "a lot of different problems" that other leaders couldn't have moved an inch. The two sides agreed to pursue what Xi called a "new vision" for the relationship — what Beijing's readout called a "constructive China-U.S. relationship of strategic stability."

What Trump Came Home With--

1. › Boeing: Xi committed to purchasing 200 Boeing jets — a major win for American manufacturing
2. › Beef: Beijing issued new import licenses to restore U.S. beef trade just hours before Trump landed
3. › Fentanyl: Both sides pledged to crack down on fentanyl precursor exports from China to the U.S.
4. › Iran: Xi told Trump China is "not going to give military equipment" to Iran and opposes militarizing the Strait of Hormuz
5. › Energy: Xi expressed interest in buying more U.S. crude oil — a direct opening for the American energy sector
