Hurricane Forecast for 2026

'What a Surprise' HURRICANE FORECAST: Maybe Not So Bad This Year

South Florida residents may get a bit of a break this hurricane season. Colorado State University’s renowned tropical weather research team released its initial 2026 Atlantic hurricane season forecast Thursday, calling for somewhat below-normal activity.

The CSU team is predicting 13 named storms, 6 hurricanes, and just 2 major hurricanes — all below the 1991-2020 historical averages of 14.4 named storms, 7.2 hurricanes, and 3.2 major hurricanes.

The key driver behind the quieter outlook is El Niño. Current weak La Niña conditions are expected to transition to a moderate or even strong El Niño by the peak of hurricane season, which would increase wind shear over the Atlantic and make it harder for storms to develop and intensify. CSU researchers also note that sea surface temperatures in the eastern and central tropical Atlantic are running slightly cooler than normal — another factor working against storm formation.

CSU says there is a below-average probability of major hurricane landfalls along the U.S. coastline and in the Caribbean. But forecasters are quick to add the caveat that never gets old — it only takes one storm making landfall to make any season feel very active. Additional forecast updates are scheduled for June 10, July 8, and August 5.

Lying Democrat Caught

Supreme Court Blocks Progressive Candidate’s Bid to Infiltrate Ohio GOP Primary After Lying About Party Affiliation

“calculated strategy” to run Democrats as Republicans in “deep red districts” to “get a foot in the door.”

There’s a certain sacred trust embedded in every election. When a candidate raises their hand and swears an oath about who they are, voters take them at their word. It’s the foundation of self-governance; the belief that the person on the ballot is exactly who they claim to be.

But what happens when that trust is weaponized? When a candidate signs their name to a sworn declaration, knowing full well it’s a calculated lie designed to deceive the very voters they’re asking to support them?

Seriously—what kind of person does that?

ANSWER: A Democrat.

California's Hospice Fraud

Vance anti-fraud task force charges 15 people in $50M+ California hospice fraud scheme

Federal prosecutors have charged 15 people in Southern California in connection with a wide-ranging scheme that allegedly defrauded Medicare of more than $50 million through sham hospice operations, authorities said April 2.

Eight defendants — including nurses, a chiropractor, and a purported psychologist — were arrested in coordinated raids across the Los Angeles area, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

Prosecutors allege the defendants operated fraudulent hospice companies that enrolled patients who were not terminally ill and billed Medicare for unnecessary or nonexistent services. In some cases, beneficiaries were recruited with monthly cash payments to sign up for hospice care, according to court documents.

Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz announced a plan to review every hospice in California by the end of the year, along with a nationwide moratorium on certain medical equipment tied to fraudulent billing, according to FOX.

Sunset 4-11-26

While the political class argues over headlines, Peter Navarro is talking strategy—and he’s thinking bigger than Earth.

His take on the Artemis program cuts through the noise: space isn’t about prestige anymore, it’s about power.

With Donald Trump setting the trajectory years ago, America’s return to the Moon is no longer symbolic—it’s geopolitical.

Navarro frames it as a race, not a research project, with China closing fast. In a world defined by competition, the next high ground isn’t a battlefield—it’s lunar orbit.

Artemis Is the Trump Doctrine in Space.

The Moon Is the Next Great Platform of National Power.

Good Night, Patriots!

Democrats sue again - Protecting the illegal votes

Democrats sue to block Trump executive order restricting mail-in ballot distribution

Congressional Democrats and the Democratic National Committee filed a lawsuit Wednesday to block President Trump's recent executive order cracking down on mail-in voting, setting up yet another legal battle over election integrity measures that the left reflexively frames as "voter suppression."

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and other party organizations joined the suit, with prominent Democratic election lawyer Marc Elias leading the charge.

The complaint targets an executive order that would restrict how mail-in ballots are distributed, part of a broader effort by the administration to ensure that only verified U.S. citizens receive them.

Earlier this week, President Trump announced that he directed Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, along with the Social Security Administration, to create a list of verified U.S. citizens who are eligible to vote. Under the order, the U.S. Postal Service will only be permitted to send ballots to those people.

Low I-Q Opposition to President Trump's conflict with Iran

TRUMP UNLOADS: Calls Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly & Candace Owens 'Low IQ' Over Iran Opposition

Then Ceasefire Sends Dow Surging 1,300 Points

President Trump posted a blistering 482-word Truth Social attack on conservative podcasters opposing the Iran war — calling Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones people with "Low IQs" who think it's "wonderful" for Iran to have a nuclear weapon.

Hours later, Trump secured a two-week ceasefire with Iran contingent on reopening the Strait of Hormuz — sending the Dow Jones surging 1,300+ points.

Trump is framing the conflict as strength: protecting America from the #1 State Sponsor of Terror.

The Heist That Wasn’t Hidden

Glenn Youngkin spent four years turning Virginia into a business magnet

Well, that was another Democrat lie

Abigail Spanberger spent three months erasing his name from everything he built.

Now AstraZeneca’s CEO is on record thanking Glenn Youngkin by name – and Spanberger is holding a pen.

Spanberger sent out a triumphant press release on April 6 claiming she had signed bipartisan legislation welcoming 3,250 new jobs and $7.1 billion in business investment to Virginia.

Four companies: Avio USA, Hitachi Energy, Eli Lilly, and AstraZeneca.

All four announced their investments in Virginia while Glenn Youngkin was still governor.

Spanberger ran as a moderate. She governed like a socialist Democrat. An now she is a liar...can't get much worse than that.

The Shooting the Networks Couldn't Report Straight

ABC and NBC Sided With a Wanted Murderer Over the Agents Who Stopped Him

ICE agents cornered a federally designated terrorist Tuesday morning – a man wanted for murder in El Salvador.

He tried to run them over with his car. Now ABC and NBC are upset about what happened next. The facts are not in dispute.

ICE agents conducted a targeted vehicle stop near Interstate 5 in Patterson, California, to arrest Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez – a confirmed member of the 18th Street Gang, a State Department-designated Foreign Terrorist Organization, wanted in El Salvador for questioning in connection with a murder.

When agents approached the car, Hernandez reversed into a truck, then swung the vehicle forward toward the officers.

ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons did not mince words: "The wanted gang member weaponized his vehicle in an attempt to run an officer over. Following their training, our officers fired defensive shots to protect themselves, their fellow agents, and the public."

Dashcam footage confirmed it.

ABC said it showed how "volatile" the Trump administration's immigration enforcement campaign "remains.

What the news media did was find a sympathetic frame, attach an unrelated controversy, make the men and women doing the arresting the story – instead of the federally designated terrorist who just tried to kill them.

Tuesday's ICE agents did their jobs, followed their training, and came home safe.

That's the story ABC and NBC couldn't tell.

Iran and the "ceasefire"

Iran Declares Strait of Hormuz Open, but Warns of Risk From Mines

They had a hell of a nerve laying mines in a major waterway that they don't own

“Those technical restrictions are very much connected to the wartime condition, and it takes time to be removed,” Khatibzadeh said, adding that each vessel should make “necessary arrangements” with the Iranian authorities to be able to pass through the strait safely.

In a post on X on April 9 local time, the Iranian Consulate in Mumbai warned of “possible anti-ship mines” and shared a map showing a mined area in the main channel of the strait.

It encouraged ships to take two alternative corridors further north, one of which is what became known as the “tollbooth” lane, north of Larak Island.

Oil hovered near $98 a barrel on April 9, as traffic through the strait remained well below peacetime levels.

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot said France is finalizing plans with around 14 other European nations to escort ships through the strait.

“The fundamental freedoms ‌of the seas must not be unilaterally withdrawn or sold off ​to individual bidders,” British Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper is expected to say. According to the advance copy. “Nor can there be ​any place for tolls on ​an international waterway. Freedom of navigation means navigation must be ⁠free.”

Man from Lake Worth Beach arrested for fake video

Lake Worth Beach man accused of using AI-generated deepfake video in false crime report

SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. (CBS12) — A Lake Worth Beach man was arrested in Puerto Rico after investigators determined he used an artificial intelligence-generated deepfake video to file a false crime report with the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office, authorities announced Wednesday.

Investigators said the incident began on March 24, when a Seminole County deputy was inside a retail store in Lake Mary and was approached by a man who claimed he had seen several people entering the deputy’s marked patrol vehicle in the parking lot.

The man showed the deputy a short video on his cellphone that appeared to depict two individuals getting into the patrol vehicle.

The deputy immediately went outside to check the vehicle but found no indication that it had been disturbed or that anything was missing. A review of store surveillance footage later showed that no one approached the patrol vehicle during the time frame described by the man.

A warrant for Martínez-Arizala’s arrest was issued on March 27. On April 8, he was located and arrested in San Juan, Puerto Rico, by an officer assigned to the U.S. Marshals Service Task Force on the outstanding Seminole County charges, according to the news release.

DIGNIDAD ACT

Twenty RINO Republicans Just Signed Their Names to Amnesty

The bill is called the DIGNIDAD Act – named in Spanish, not English, in a country where Donald Trump signed an executive order declaring English the national language. Dignidad translates to "dignity" in English, primarily referring to the state of being worthy of honor or respect. It encompasses self-respect, decency, and serious or calm behavior.

That's the tell.

Rep. María Elvira Salazar of Florida is the lead Republican sponsor. Rep. Mike Lawler of New York is the most aggressive promoter. Last Sunday, Lawler appeared on Fox News and told the audience the bill has "broad bipartisan support" and represents "common sense" immigration reform.

He called it an earned pathway to legal status. Laura Ingraham called all Mike Lawler's points "false."

Rep. Brandon Gill of Texas called it what it is:

"Maria, your DIGNIDAD Act would give legal status to over ten million illegal aliens," Gill said. "It's rank amnesty and everybody knows it. I want dignity for Americans – the people whose interests we represent – not illegal aliens. That means doing what we said we'd do: mass deportations."

Senator Mike Lee was more blunt:

"When you have to say 'it's not amnesty,' it's usually amnesty."
