Democrats Gambled on the Longest DHS Shutdown in American History – and Lost

Democrats Triggered the Longest DHS Shutdown in History and Now Republicans Are Making Them Pay for It

Democrats shut down the Department of Homeland Security in February rather than fund ICE.

They held out for months, demanding reforms, insisting on "accountability," and blocking the agents who protect your neighborhood from being funded.

Now Republicans are finishing the job – $70 billion for ICE and Border Patrol – and Democrats couldn't slow it down by a single vote.

In mid-February, Democrats refused to vote for ICE and Border Patrol funding. Their stated reason: two U.S. citizens were fatally shot by immigration enforcement agents in Minneapolis during a Trump deportation operation.

Their actual goal: gut the enforcement machinery that's been removing criminal illegal aliens from American soil at a record pace. So DHS shut down – the longest partial shutdown of the department in American history.

LA Homeless Services spent $513mil but could not account for one dime

Trump Cuts Ties with Los Angeles Homeless Agency Over Obvious Fraud

For years now, Americans have watched billions of their hard-earned tax dollars vanish into government “homelessness programs” that somehow never manage to solve homelessness. Progressive city leaders announce bold spending initiatives. Nonprofits line up at the trough.

Bureaucracies balloon. And the tent cities? They just keep growing. The Trump administration’s fraud task force, led by Vice President JD Vance, is finally exposing how deep the rot actually runs.

What they’re uncovering should infuriate every American who pays taxes. From the Midwest to the West Coast, the task force is finding a disturbing pattern: blue-state governments treating federal dollars like Monopoly money — or worse, like a personal piggy bank for well-connected insiders. But no city illustrates the scandal quite like Los Angeles.

From Fox News:

A top Trump agency is cutting off funding to the Los Angeles agency responsible for coordinating billions in homelessness spending after accusing it of “obvious fraud,” “wanton mismanagement” and repeated failures to safeguard taxpayer dollars, Fox News Digital has learned.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), which is a member of the White House fraud task force led by Vice President JD Vance, is immediately suspending the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority’s (LAHSA) federal funding while HUD’s inspector general investigates potential offenses by the agency and its leadership.

The City Controller’s Office found that LAHSA failed to spend $513 million in public funds during fiscal year 2024. The excuse? Not enough staff and outdated technology. So they couldn’t spend the money. And when they did manage to spend it, they couldn’t tell anyone where it went. Remarkable.

"I love the Inflation"

Democrats strip Trump's inflation remarks from context as president reveals Strait of Hormuz operation

President Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Wednesday that he "loves the inflation", and within hours, Democratic leaders had clipped the quote, stripped it of context, and blasted it across social media.

What they left out was everything that followed the word "inflation": a detailed account of a military operation against Iranian oil shipments, a claim that more than 100 million barrels of oil had been pushed through the Strait of Hormuz, and a prediction that prices would collapse once the conflict ends.

The full exchange, as CBS News reported, began when a reporter asked Trump whether he was concerned that the Consumer Price Index had risen to an annual rate of 4.2%, up from 3.8% the prior month and the highest reading since April 2023.

Trump's answer was not a celebration of grocery prices. It was a pivot to what he described as a previously undisclosed military campaign against Iran's oil infrastructure and shipping capacity, one he said explained why oil sat at $85 a barrel and why he expected prices to fall sharply once the operation concluded.

What Trump actually said--The president's full remarks in the Oval Office went well beyond the four-word clip Democrats circulated. Trump told the reporter:

"The numbers were great. You know what I really love? I love the inflation. You know why? Because as soon as this war is over. You know, I can say it now, something you didn't know. Did you know we've been taking out millions of barrels of oil? Nobody knows it. You know who doesn't know about it? Iran, until right now. We took out the other night, 22 ships. Late at night, with no lights. Because they don't have any radar because we blasted the crap out of it. We took out. That's why oil's $85 a barrel."

John Thune’s real constituency is not South Dakota.

It is the Senate Republican Conference that handed him the gavel and can take it back.

The House passed proof-of-citizenship election integrity, Senate Republicans have shown functional majority support, President Trump wants it, and the public overwhelmingly backs it by 91%.

Yet Thune hides behind Senate customs, the parliamentarian, and the zombie filibuster while the bill gets buried.

This is not a vote-count problem. It is a nerve problem, a leadership problem, and a Republican accountability problem.

In every other American institution, a chairman who refuses to call a vote on a majority-supported item is replaced by the board. The Senate Republican Conference is the board. The question is no longer whether Thune will move the SAVE Act. He has answered it 3 times, once for each road he declined. The question is whether 27 senators will keep paying him to say no.

New Intelligence Director named

Trump taps prosecutor Jay Clayton for director of national intelligence, aiming to break FISA standoff

President Trump announced Thursday that he is nominating Jay Clayton, the current U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, to serve as the next director of national intelligence, a move designed to end a Capitol Hill standoff that has stalled renewal of a key surveillance authority days before it lapses.

Trump made the announcement in a Truth Social post, praising Clayton's standing in the legal community and pressing the Senate to act fast.

"Few people anywhere in the Legal Community are respected at the level of Jay. I encourage the United States Senate to confirm Jay as soon as possible."

Within hours, the Senate Select Intelligence Committee scheduled a confirmation hearing for Clayton on June 17.

The speed matters. Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, the surveillance tool at the center of the dispute, is set to lapse this weekend, and neither chamber has managed to push through even a short-term extension.

Zohran endorses another Anti-American

New York Mayor Mamdani backs congressional candidate despite deleted anti-American social media posts

New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani is standing by his endorsement of Darializa Avila Chevalier, a democratic socialist running for Congress, even after deleted social media posts attributed to her, calling America "a f-----g disgrace" and demanding the abolition of borders, police, and prisons, resurfaced ahead of the June 23 primary.

Mamdani, asked about the posts at a Wednesday news conference, said he hadn't seen them. He offered no condemnation. Instead, he praised the 32-year-old community organizer as "an incredible champion" for New York's 13th congressional district.

The episode lays bare a pattern familiar to anyone watching the far left's march through New York politics: say whatever you want about America, its laws, and its institutions, and the party machinery will look the other way, or, better yet, change the subject to "evolution."

Avila Chevalier's now-deleted posts, spanning 2018 to 2022, amount to a running catalogue of contempt for the country she now wants to represent in Congress. Fox News Digital reported that the posts attacked the United States, the Democratic Party, private property, police, and the very concept of national borders.

• In one post, she wrote: "This country is a f-----g disgrace." In another, she said: "I forgot to get napkins so I just wiped my hand on the American flag behind me."
• She reportedly called former President Joe Biden a "rapist" and "war criminal." She wrote "F--k Kamala Harris." She chastised Sen. Bernie Sanders, hardly a right-winger, for his "liberal Zionism."
• A 2021 repost declared that abolishing borders, prisons, and police is "possible, necessary, and the only moral way forward."
• Other posts stated flatly that "all deportation is wrong" and "Yes, literally abolish the border."
• During the COVID-19 pandemic, Avila Chevalier demanded $3,000 per month in universal basic income, the nationalization of utilities, pharmaceutical companies, and hospitals, the suspension of mortgages and rent, the seizure of private property from landlords, the dissolution of insurance companies, and the expansion of Medicare to every citizen.

Lake Worth Beach downtown Parking Garage

Lake Worth Beach takes next step toward new downtown parking garage

The nearly $10 million proposal would transform an existing surface parking lot near K Street and First Avenue South

A controversial proposal to build a new downtown parking garage in Lake Worth Beach is moving forward after a commission vote during a quasi-judicial hearing Monday night.

The vote does not give final approval for construction. Instead, city leaders say it allows the project team to move forward with completing the garage's design and obtaining a guaranteed maximum price before construction can begin. [WPTV]

Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool

Joe Biden Left the Reflecting Pool Leaking 45,000 Gallons a Day and Trump Fixed It for $2 Million

Biden had four years to fix the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and handed Trump a landmark hemorrhaging water like a broken fire hydrant.

Now Trump has finished the job – and the left is furious he did it too fast and too cheap.

The Washington Post ran to a "color consultant" to tell America the new shade of blue would look "very dismal." Typical remark from a liberal.

The numbers tell the whole story. The Reflecting Pool was leaking 45,000 gallons of water every single day when Trump took office.

Expansion joints installed during the Obama era were draining 16 million gallons annually – costing taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars every year while nobody in the Biden White House lifted a finger.

Their answer to this disaster was Biden's proposal of  $301 million requiring three and a half years to complete...Trump did it for 0.66% of Biden's estimate.

Biden Used Temporary Protected Status to Block Deportations for Over a Million Illegal Aliens

Biden’s Backdoor Amnesty Scheme Just Got Exposed and the Numbers Are Staggering

Biden let Venezuelan gang members into the country and handed them work permits.

Now Congress is uncovering how he made sure they could never be deported. Biden's backdoor amnesty scheme just got exposed – and it's worse than anyone thought.

Representative Brandon Gill chairs the House Oversight Committee's Task Force on Defending Constitutional Rights and Exposing Institutional Abuses.

And he laid out precisely how the Biden administration hijacked Temporary Protected Status – TPS – to deliver what he calls "backdoor amnesty" to more than a million people with no legal right to be in the United States.

TPS was never designed for this.

Congress created the program to give temporary shelter to foreign nationals whose home countries had been hit by war or natural disaster – the operative word being temporary.

They redesignated TPS countries on a rolling basis – shifting the cutoff date forward every 18 months to pull in new arrivals who had crossed the border during the Biden surge itself.

"About half of all current TPS beneficiaries weren't even residing in the United States until after Joe Biden took office," Gill told the committee. "In other words, TPS was a vehicle for providing backdoor amnesty for the very people that the American people saw pouring into our border for four years."

Mail-In Ballot Fraud

• Nick Shirley Found a 126 Year Old Woman on California Voter Rolls and Knocked on Her Door

California has been mailing ballots to a woman who would be 126 years old.

A reporter named Nick Shirley tracked down her registered address – and a real person answered the door.

Nobody by that name lives there, the man said.

California Ghost Voters Got Mail-In Ballots While Sacramento Did Nothing--That woman's ballot was already in the mail. California's universal mail-in ballot system – the one Democrats built and protected – would have sent it automatically.

• Nobody would have flagged it.
• Nobody would have stopped it.
• It would have arrived at a stranger's door with a name attached that has no living human being behind it.
• That is not a glitch.

That is the system working exactly as Democrats designed it.

Hunter Biden is back, and somehow the laptop scandal keeps getting uglier.

The same political-media machine that buried the laptop before the 2020 election now wants everyone to pretend the “51 intelligence officials” letter was normal public service instead of election interference wearing a clearance badge.

Hunter now says he is grateful for the crack, the nude photos, and the public exposure because it lets people “see all of me.” Spare us.

The problem was never that America failed to understand Hunter Biden. The problem was that powerful people protected him because his last name was Biden.

And, hey, we’ve seen him naked, so we at least know he doesn’t have a big Nazi tattoo on his chest, like some other political candidates --- well, candidate --- we could name. That’s the same sleazy candidate who, in his victory speech Tuesday night in Maine, talked somewhat bizarrely of “grace” and personal redemption. [Mike Huckabee]

FOIA request finds Thomas Matthew Crooks' e-mails to Butler County Sheriff

FBI documents show Trump shooter emailed Butler County deputy before July 2024 attack

Thomas Matthew Crooks exchanged emails with a Butler County Sheriff's deputy before he opened fire on President Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, 2024, a detail buried in heavily redacted FBI files that the bureau released only after a watchdog group sued to pry them loose.

The documents, first reported by the Daily Caller, emerged through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by Judicial Watch. The conservative legal organization forced the FBI to make dozens of records public, records the bureau had, until now, kept from the American public nearly two years after the assassination attempt that left Trump wounded and a rallygoer dead.

Among the released files is an FBI electronic communication dated July 16, 2024, just three days after the shooting, titled "Disc of 5 Deputies of Butler County Sheriff's Office." The document compiles interviews the bureau conducted with five local deputies.

One unnamed deputy told FBI agents she had "checked her emails and records and only had two email communications" from Crooks. She said she had no "personal interaction" with him.

The content of those two emails remains unknown. The FBI's heavy redactions stripped most context from the released pages, leaving the public to guess what Crooks wrote to a local law enforcement official before carrying out his attack.

Why a 20-year-old would contact a sheriff's deputy by email, what he asked or discussed, and whether anyone flagged the exchange before July 13, all of that sits behind black bars on a government page.

That pattern of secrecy has defined the FBI's handling of the Butler shooting from the start. Judicial Watch had to go to federal court just to get the files released. No docket number or court name has been disclosed publicly, but the organization published the production documents on its website.

Trump warns Benjamin Netanyahu

President Donald Trump delivered a pointed warning to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

Urging caution as tensions between Israel and Iran continue to simmer despite signs that both sides may be stepping back from the brink of a wider conflict.

According to comments Trump made to Axios reporter Barak Ravid, the president directly cautioned Netanyahu against further escalation, warning that Israel could find itself increasingly isolated if military operations continue to expand.

“I said, ‘Bibi, you better be careful, or you will be on your own very soon,’” Trump told Ravid.

The remarks offer a rare glimpse into the private discussions between the two longtime allies as the Middle East remains on edge following another round of missile exchanges and retaliatory strikes.

The latest tensions were triggered after Israel carried out attacks on Hezbollah targets in Beirut over the weekend. The strikes were followed by waves of Iranian missile attacks against Israel. Iran has repeatedly warned that additional Israeli attacks against Hezbollah in Lebanon could trigger a return to full-scale conflict.

The warning from Trump comes after a period of reported friction between the two leaders.

Platner calls Fetterman an A-hole

Maine Democratic Senate candidate calls Fetterman a profanity at town hall as party infighting escalates

Graham Platner, the progressive Democrat in Maine's Senate primary, stood before supporters in Portland on Sunday night and called Sen. John Fetterman "an a**hole", out loud, on camera, two days before voters headed to the polls.

The remark, delivered in response to a supporter's question about whom Platner would work with in Washington if elected, captured the raw state of a Democratic Party increasingly at war with itself. Platner wasn't talking about a Republican. He was talking about a fellow Democrat, one who has spent recent weeks publicly challenging Platner's fitness for office.

The exchange is the latest in a feud that has grown personal, profane, and impossible for Democratic leaders to ignore.

What Platner said, and why--

At the town hall in southern Maine, a supporter asked Platner which senators he looked forward to working with in Washington. Platner framed the Senate as a place built on relationships and said he didn't want to go to the capital and "simply be nonfunctional."

Then he went further.

"I mean, as you can all probably tell, we got a lot of criticisms about the way this government functions. But in order for us to make it functional, we're going to have to do stuff. And you can't just go down there and be John Fetterman and just and just kind of just sort of be an a**hole."
