Woman arrested by ICE - Overstayed her Visa by 10 years

On 18 March, 2025, Lashar Smith was apprehended by ICE agents at Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood International Airport for staying in the U. S. beyond her visa expiration date by more than ten years.

She was subsequently transferred to a detention facility in Baker County, Florida, and faced deportation proceedings under U.S. immigration law. Her partner, James Walkine, in a statement to the media, said that they were attempting to adjust her status through legal channels, but the process was hindered by bureaucratic delays.

I couldn't find any mainstream news sources which provide confirmation of the deportation outcome beyond the initial detention. Without official records (which for privacy reasons is not available to the public in individual immigration cases like this one), the facts at hand suggest that she might have been deported back in 2025. However, this is not confirmed.

As it turns out, her partner was also here illegally staying here beyond his Visa expiration date.

10% Global Tariff imposed on all countries

Trump Signs Order Imposing 10 Percent Global Tariff

President Donald Trump announced Friday that he has signed an executive order imposing a 10% global tariff on all countries, saying the measure will take effect "almost immediately."

Posting on Truth Social, Trump said it was his "Great Honor" to sign the order from the Oval Office, describing it as a "Global 10% Tariff on all Countries."

The move comes just hours after the Supreme Court struck down his earlier attempt to implement tariffs under emergency authorities.

In a second post, Trump sharply criticized the justices who ruled against his prior tariff plan.

"Those members of the Supreme Court who voted against our very acceptable and proper method of TARIFFS should be ashamed of themselves," he wrote. "Their decision was ridiculous but, now the adjustment process begins, and we will do everything possible to take in even more money than we were taking in before!"

Kavanaugh's Dissent: A Defense of Presidential Power

S

Supreme courts' ruling on tariffs--6/3

But the story doesn't end with the majority's gavel. A powerful counterargument roared from the minority. Justice Kavanaugh didn't just disagree; he demolished the majority's reasoning with precision. In his view, the tariffs align perfectly with statutory text, history, and precedent.

He argued that Trump acted within his authority under the 1977 law to regulate importation, a power historically tied to tools like quotas, embargoes, and, yes, tariffs.

Statutory text, history, and precedent demonstrate that the answer is clearly yes: Like quotas and embargoes, tariffs are a traditional and common tool to regulate importation.

Kavanaugh went further, suggesting this ruling won't be the final word. He noted that presidents could still impose similar tariffs under other laws, such as the Trade Act of 1974. His dissent framed the issue as a matter for voters and lawmakers, not judges, to wrestle with.

The tariffs at issue here may or may not be wise policy, but as a matter of text, history, and precedent, they are clearly lawful, it was said.

Closing his argument, Kavanaugh stood firm with a respectful but pointed conclusion: "I respectfully dissent." His words echo a broader conservative frustration with judicial overreach into policy domains.

Progressive criminal justice experiments were sold as compassion. In practice, many Americans see something else: collapsing clearance rates, repeat offenders cycling through the system, and victims left wondering where accountability went.

In several major cities, murder solve rates hover near coin-flip territory. Cash bail reforms, sentencing reductions, and overwhelmed courts have reshaped outcomes in ways critics argue prioritize ideology over deterrence.

The result, they say, is a two-track system — one lenient toward violent offenders, another aggressive toward political dissidents. Whether or not it is overstated, public confidence in equal enforcement of the law is undeniably eroding.

Defund the police--Half of all murders are not solved. If you kill someone, flip a coin if you will even get identified and arrested.

Police departments are overwhelmed and understaffed. They will have difficulty gathering evidence to present a case against you. Most of them are worried about hurting you because they could get thrown in prison for it.

Catch and release with no cash bail or bail funds--If you are somehow arrested, don’t worry. Criminal justice reforms will have you back on the streets in no time.

Many blue states and cities have eliminated cash bail. For jurisdictions that still have bail, Democrat dark money slush funds will post it for you. Then your crime spree on innocent civilians can continue. Felonies are routinely downgraded to misdemeanors and misdemeanors are almost never caught. [Luthmann]

Voter ID makes sense

But anything that makes sense is difficult to pass these days.

McConnell Blocks SAVE Act — What Happened?

What happened on the Senate floor--

Senator Mitch McConnell declined to bring the SAVE Act up for a Senate vote. The bill would have required voters to show an ID when voting, a change supported by large majorities of Americans. Conservative lawmakers and many grassroots activists are angry because the measure never got a fair vote.

Critics say McConnell and his team quietly kept the bill off the calendar instead of letting senators cast their ballots and let the public see where everyone stood.

Republican voters and several House members quickly criticized McConnell for blocking the bill. They say the move protects the old guard and big donors rather than voters.

Rep. Tim Burchett and other conservatives pushed back hard, saying voters deserve election reforms that build confidence in the system. These reactions came fast and loud on social media and at town halls, where activists demanded accountability.

What Planet is Schumer living on?

Senator Mike Lee Calls Schumer’s ‘Jim Crow 2.0’ Attack on Voter ID Bill ‘Paranoid Fantasy’

Every American knows the drill. You show ID to board a plane, buy a beer, pick up a prescription, or walk into a federal building. Try cashing a check without one. Good luck. Try starting a new job without proving who you are—your HR department will show you the door before you find your desk.

These requirements exist because identity verification matters. Nobody seriously argues otherwise.

Yet when it comes to voting—the very foundation of our constitutional republic—suddenly Democrats discover that proving you are who you say you are constitutes an unconscionable burden. Funny how that works.

The Senate is currently locked in battle over the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act. The legislation would require photo ID to vote in federal elections and proof of citizenship to register.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has branded this common-sense measure “Jim Crow 2.0,” dragging out the darkest chapter of American segregation to describe a bill that simply asks voters to do what they already do at the DMV.

The comparison isn’t just wrong. It’s an insult to the Americans who actually suffered under Jim Crow laws.

Criminals are stealing $115 million an hour from American taxpayers

Expert Told Congress the Government Loses $115 Million Every Hour

And Says the Real Number Is Worse Than That

You already knew the Biden years were a disaster for the federal budget.

Now a fraud expert just testified before Congress with a number so big it makes every other Washington scandal look like a rounding error. He told senators the government is bleeding $1 trillion a year – and then turned around and said that figure is probably too low.

Haywood Talcove isn't a politician or a pundit. He's the CEO of LexisNexis Risk Solutions Government – the man who works with more than 9,000 federal, state and local agencies to stop fraud before it happens. He's been doing this for two decades.

When he sits down in front of Congress, members listen. At Senator Josh Hawley's Homeland Security Subcommittee, Talcove put a number on it: criminals are stealing $115 million every single hour from American taxpayers – roughly $1 trillion a year, nearly 14 percent of the entire federal budget.

Hawley asked him where that money actually goes.

Talcove's answer was blunt: "It goes to terrorism, it goes to child trafficking, it goes to drugs – and then it's used to purchase luxury items, cars, purses, homes. That's all funded by people like me that pay taxes."

Promises of "moderate government" were just Lies

Elections Have Consequences

Act for America

The dust from the 2025 elections has barely settled, and already we’re seeing the devastating toll of handing power to radical leftists who prioritize ideology over the well-being of everyday citizens.

From coast to coast, communities are reeling from policies that erode our freedoms, burden hardworking families, and undermine the very fabric of our nation. This isn’t just local fallout—it’s a national warning.

If we don’t stand up and fight back, the 2026 midterms could usher in even more chaos across the country.

Let’s start in Virginia, where Democrats rode a “blue wave” to sweeping victories in November 2025.

In the early 2026 legislative session, Democrats have introduced dozens of proposed tax increases, targeting everything from personal income to services as routine as dog grooming. If enacted, these measures would add new financial pressures on families already grappling with the effects of inflation.

In breaking news, the Tazwell Circuit Court on Thursday temporarily blocked Democrats from moving forward with an April voter referendum to redraw the state’s congressional maps.

It's not just Virginia where Democrats lied to the electorate; we know what's happened in New York City--Mayor Zohran Mamdani—a democratic socialist communist who made history as the first Muslim and South Asian mayor after his 2025 win—is already proving disastrous just months into his term. Mamdani promised transformative change. In a way, that’s true. He’s delivering chaos. And we can't forget crazy California and other states and cities across our country.

Democrats are voting in their own demise and that of our country.

FBI Documents Reveal Trump Was Reportedly Among First to Contact Police About Epstein

Donald Trump is he onw ho blew the whistle on Jeffrey Epstein

The media spent years linking Donald Trump to Jeffrey Epstein. Now newly unsealed documents just blew that narrative to pieces.

And the files prove Trump was the one who turned Epstein in to authorities. Newly released FBI documents show President Trump called Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter in July 2006 to blow the whistle on Jeffrey Epstein.

The FBI interview summary from 2019 confirms what conservatives suspected all along. Trump told Reiter "thank goodness you're stopping him, everyone has known he's been doing this."

The call came right after the police investigation into Epstein became public. Trump didn't mince words about what he knew. "Trump told him people in New York knew Epstein was disgusting," the FBI report states.

He specifically warned Reiter about Ghislaine Maxwell, calling her Epstein's "operative" and telling police "she is evil and to focus on her." Trump revealed he'd already kicked Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago for his predatory behavior.

The documents show Trump "was one of the very first people to call when people found out that they were investigating Epstein."

Are Electric vehicles on sidewalks hazardous to pedestrians?

Residents in Lake Worth Beach are raising safety concerns about electric bikes and scooters traveling at high speeds on sidewalks, joining a growing debate across Palm Beach County about regulating these vehicles in pedestrian areas.

Electric scooters and bikes are all over the walking path at John Prince Park which does not allow electric vehicles. Even those that are not electric are dangerous as you can't hear them coming and most do not ring a bell as they are approaching a pedestrian.

The Supreme Court may have clipped one branch of President Trump’s tariff authority, but it did not uproot the tree.

In Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump, the justices ruled that IEEPA cannot be used as a shortcut to impose tariffs overnight.

That is a procedural slowdown, not a policy surrender. The Court did not strike down Section 232, Section 301, Section 122, or any of the trade statutes that presidents have used for decades.

The headlines screamed “limits.” The reality is that leverage remains. Trump still has tools, timelines, and negotiating power—just routed through different statutory lanes.

Marxist Leftists, the big threat to our country

Marxist Leftists: The Real "Threat to Our Democracy"

"America is a Constitutional Republic; however, the Marxist leftists are doing everything they can to undermine and fundamentally transform our beloved Republic.

Allowing individuals who have violated Title 18 USC 1325 and have entered our country without authorization to have access to our electoral system, the bedrock of our representative democracy, is a threat.

As well, to count these same illegal immigrants as part of our census that determines our representative democracy is unconscionable and dangerous. There is only one reason for this: power.

Another example of how the Marxist leftists are threats to our democratic processes is found with the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact (NPVIC). This is a conglomeration of leftist states, and the District of Columbia, who have stated that regardless of who wins their States’ popular vote, they will only support, with electors, the presidential candidate who wins the national popular vote.

The NPVIC was introduced in 2006, and as of now, there are 17 states, along with the District of Columbia, that are signatories. The 17 States are Maryland, New Jersey, Illinois, Hawaii, Washington, Massachusetts, Vermont, California, Rhode Island, New York, Connecticut, Colorado, Delaware, New Mexico, Oregon, Minnesota, and Maine."
