Sunset 5-18-26

Beneath the towering marble monuments and windswept flags of the National Mall in Washington, D.C. the United States began something far larger than a mere political celebration.

America commenced the solemn observance of its 250th birthday with a national act of prayer, gratitude, remembrance, and rededication to the principles that forged this nation from wilderness into world power.

The event titled “Rededicate 250: A National Jubilee of Prayer, Praise and Thanksgiving” is not simply another gathering in the capital city. It is an attempt to restore the spiritual architecture of the American experiment at a moment when the country stands battered by division, cynicism, cultural amnesia, and political warfare.

Like weary travelers returning to the church bells of a familiar hometown after wandering through a storm, thousands gathered today not merely to celebrate America’s existence, but to ask whether the soul of the nation can still be renewed. [Roger Stone]

Resolution--Shared Sacrifice on Government Shutdowns

Senate votes unanimously to withhold members' pay during future government shutdowns

The United States Senate passed a resolution Thursday by unanimous consent to dock senators' pay during any future government shutdown, a move that came only after two record-setting funding lapses left federal workers scrambling and Americans fuming at a Congress that kept cashing its own checks.

The measure, sponsored by Louisiana Republican Sen. John Kennedy, advanced Wednesday with a 99-0 vote before final adoption the following day. Under the resolution, senators' salaries will be held in escrow whenever a shutdown affects one or more federal agencies. The money gets released only after funding is restored.

It is a narrow fix to a broad problem. But for the first time, senators will face at least a taste of the financial disruption they have inflicted on millions of government employees through repeated failures to fund the agencies they oversee.

Kennedy, speaking on the Senate floor, did not mince words. As the Daily Mail reported, the Louisiana senator laid out the record bluntly:

"We ought to hide our heads in a bag. It's got to stop. Shutting down government, it should not be our default solution to our refusal to work out our issues and our differences."

"This is about shared sacrifice. If senators are going to vote to shut down the government and prevent millions of federal workers from getting paid, they ought to have the same skin in the game."

It was Democrats who shut down the government twice...Last year, the majority of the federal government was shut down for 43 days. Then, just three months after that crisis ended, the Department of Homeland Security lost its funding for 76 days. Ridiculous.

Sebastian Gorka speaks out on Tucker Carlson and Right-wing extremists

Counterterrorism Official Sebastain Gorka Mentions Tucker Carlson In ‘Right-Wing Extremism’ Exchange

An ideological fracture inside Donald Trump’s political coalition intensified this past week after a senior Trump counterterrorism adviser publicly suggested that conservative commentator Tucker Carlson had become part of a broader extremism problem facing the political right.

The controversy erupted following comments from Sebastian Gorka, deputy assistant to the president and senior director for counterterrorism on the National Security Council.

During a recent interview, Gorka referenced Tucker Carlson and far-right streamer Nick Fuentes while discussing “right-wing extremism” and domestic terrorism concerns. The remarks quickly triggered backlash across conservative media circles and fueled debate over the future direction of the MAGA movement.

The dispute comes at a sensitive moment for Trump-aligned media personalities, some of whom have openly criticized the administration’s aggressive posture toward Iran and broader foreign policy decisions. Carlson, once one of Trump’s most influential media defenders, has increasingly distanced himself from some administration positions in 2026.

“Let’s come back to right-wing extremism. Do you regard it as a threat at all?” asked Breitbart editor-in-chief Alex Marlow during an interview with Gorka on Friday. “I mean, is there any? I guess that’s the question.

Biden files lawsuit to keep tapes away from the Public

Special Counsel Robert Hur told the world Joe Biden was too mentally impaired to prosecute

Now Biden is filing lawsuits. And he just went to court to keep 70 hours of secret recordings buried before you ever hear a single word.

In 2017, Biden sat down with ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer to work on his memoir Promise Me, Dad. He brought his vice-presidential notebooks. Those notebooks contained classified information – material from Situation Room briefings, the President's Daily Brief, and National Security Council meetings.

Biden read from them out loud, nearly verbatim, on at least three separate occasions. At one point, he told Zwonitzer directly: "I just found all the classified stuff downstairs."

Zwonitzer did not have a security clearance.

Hur's February 2024 report concluded Biden "willfully retained and disclosed classified materials" – then declined to prosecute. His reasoning: Biden would present himself to a jury as a "sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory."

Bill Cassidy - Not too smart

Letlow, Fleming Advance to La. Senate Runoff, Cassidy Out

You don't impeach the President and leader of your party and expect to win

Sen. Bill Cassidy was decisively defeated in Saturday’s Republican primary in Louisiana, unable to convince voters that he deserved another term five years after voting to convict President Donald Trump during an impeachment trial over the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

He finished behind U.S. Rep. Julia Letlow, who capitalized on the power of Trump's endorsement as the president continues purging his party of people he views as disloyal, and John Fleming, the state treasurer. Letlow and Fleming will compete in a runoff on June 27.

Cassidy's campaign spent roughly $9.6 million on advertising through May 16, according to the ad-tracking firm AdImpact. And Louisiana Freedom Fund, a super PAC supporting him, was on track to spend $12.3 million.

By comparison Letlow’s campaign, which launched Jan. 20, spent roughly $3.9 million, while a super PAC backing her, the Accountability Project, spent about $6 million.

Fleming's campaign spent about $1.5 million.

Trump Says US, Nigerian Armed Forces Kill Second-in-Command of ISIS

President Trump said the ISIS leader killed in the operation was identified as Abu-Bilal al-Minuki

President Donald Trump said on May 15 that U.S. and Nigerian armed forces had killed the second-in-command of the ISIS terrorist group globally.

In a Truth Social post, Trump said the ISIS leader killed in the operation was identified as Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, who he said was attempting to hide in Africa.

“Tonight, at my direction, brave American forces and the Armed Forces of Nigeria flawlessly executed a meticulously planned and very complex mission to eliminate the most active terrorist in the world from the battlefield,” he wrote.

Trump said the military received information from sources about the ISIS leader’s whereabouts in Africa. He also thanked the Nigerian government for its partnership in the operation.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

California’s latest taxpayer gift has ugly punchline

California taxpayers unknowingly funding prison tablet porn under Newsom

California under Gavin Newsom has spent hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars on electronic tablets for prisoners, all in the name of rehab, connection, and digital equity.

That sounds nice on paper, the kind of language that makes bureaucrats nod like they just solved civilization. But the real-world result, according to reports, is a mess that has taxpayers shaking their heads again.

Instead of a clean success story, the state appears to have handed out high-tech toys to convicted criminals while ordinary Californians keep paying more and getting less.

Reports say inmates found the obvious use fast...PORN.

Fox 11 in Los Angeles reported that some death row inmates have used the tablets to watch pornography and carry on lewd conversations. One inmate, Robert Maury, a serial rapist and murderer, allegedly said he used his taxpayer-funded tablet to view porn and send nude images.

Others reportedly used video chat tools to get someone on the outside to play porn on a television for them. If you were hoping the system would be used for algebra homework and polite book clubs, well, that dream lasted about five minutes.

Criminals with free electronics apparently did what criminals do when given a loophole and a screen.

Democrat priorities in action

Power Hungry Democrats

Virginia Republicans condemn Democratic push to reverse state Supreme Court redistricting ruling

Virginia House Minority Leader Terry Kilgore called it "insane." Heritage Foundation fellow Zach Smith said it would "undermine the rule of law."

And by late Monday, Democratic leaders in Richmond had already filed an emergency application with the Supreme Court of the United States, racing to undo a state high court ruling that blocked their preferred congressional map before a May 12 pre-primary deadline.

The fight centers on a 4-3 decision by the Supreme Court of Virginia that struck down Democrats' redistricting effort, a now-blocked 10-1 congressional map that Republicans say was drawn to entrench Democratic power.

Rather than accept the ruling, Virginia and national Democrats have reportedly discussed a menu of options to reverse it, including lowering the retirement age of state justices, re-trying the case before a different court, and using an earlier lower-court ruling to invalidate the independent redistricting commission itself.

Those discussions, first reported by the New York Times on Monday, included the insufferable House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York. Fox News Digital reported that Kilgore, a Republican from Gate City, framed the situation in blunt terms.

"That just shows you how power-hungry Hakeem Jeffries and his Democrats are up there, and I'm glad the Supreme Court followed the rule of law, and it was a good day for Virginia."

Resolution Honoring Law Enforcement

173 House Democrats refuse to back resolution honoring law enforcement as officer assaults hit decade high

A GOP-authored House resolution paying tribute to law enforcement officers passed Wednesday with bipartisan support, but 173 House Democrats voted against it, even as an FBI report released days earlier showed assaults on officers had climbed to a 10-year high.

Every Republican lawmaker present voted yes. Just 29 Democrats crossed the aisle to join them. The rest of the Democratic caucus, led by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, voted no, turning what the resolution's author expected to be a unanimous show of gratitude into a stark partisan divide over policing in America.

The vote landed during National Police Week, the same week officers gathered on the National Mall to honor 109 colleagues who died in the line of duty in 2025.

It also came two days after the FBI published data showing that while officer deaths dipped slightly between 2024 and 2025, assaults against law enforcement climbed to levels not seen in a decade.

"Whereas rhetoric and policies from leftist activists and progressive politicians seek to defund or dismantle local police departments undermine public safety and place both officers and the communities they serve at greater risk."

That language, naming "leftist activists and progressive politicians" as threats to public safety, apparently proved too much for the overwhelming majority of Democrats. It also credited the Trump administration's policies with contributing to the crime decline, a framing Democrats were unwilling to endorse.

He knows exactly what is at stake. President Trump has never been fooled by Beijing’s smiles and empty promises. He understands, as few leaders do, that the Chinese Communist Party is not our friend — it is a ruthless adversary waging a sophisticated campaign to infiltrate, subvert, and dominate this nation from within.

The CCP’s strategy is deliberate and multi-layered: economic incentives, diaspora networks, United Front influence operations, and outright espionage.

They exploit our openness as weakness while advancing hybrid warfare — stealing technology, corrupting officials, and dividing our people. [Act for America]

City of Lake Worth Beach signals plans to redevelop 2nd floor at Casino

City opens door to redevelop 2nd floor of historic Lake Worth Beach Casino building

The proposal includes two key spaces:
a roughly 3,000-square-foot ballroom and a separate 5,000-square-foot unfinished area.

Officials have issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN), signaling plans to redevelop the building’s second floor. The proposal includes two key spaces: a roughly 3,000-square-foot ballroom and a separate 5,000-square-foot unfinished area.

The city said they are intentionally casting a wide net, allowing bidders to pitch a variety of ideas — from event space management to restaurants, lounges or mixed-use concepts.

Despite concerns, commissioners voted 3-2 to move forward with the bid process.

Blacks still crying "racism"

Tennessee's House minority leader ties Democrats' tantrums to numerology and Obama

Tennessee state Republicans passed a new congressional map last week that, applying the logic of the U.S. Supreme Court's recent Callais ruling, carves up a Democrat-held district that was the product of a racial gerrymander.

They managed to do so despite obstruction and gross incivility from their Democrat colleagues.

Tennessee state Rep. Justin Jones, for instance, walked around the chamber blowing a bullhorn in the faces of lawmakers and subjecting them to potential noise-induced hearing loss. Jones — a Democrat who was caught on film throwing a traffic cone at a driver during a 2020 Black Lives Matter blockade — also set fire to a printout of the Confederate flag and repeatedly accused Republicans of racism.

Justin Jones says Tennessee Republicans are reviving “Confederacy 2.0” by targeting Black political power through redistricting and racial intimidation tactics.



The U.S. Supreme Court's Callais decision heavily weakened federal protections under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act (VRA), sparking immediate mid-decade congressional redistricting across Tennessee.

The high court ruled that states cannot overly rely on race to dictate legislative maps, effectively allowing partisan politics to guide redrawn boundaries.

This decision completely reshaped Tennessee's electoral landscape and triggered significant legal battles.

Ketanji was the hold-out - Lost the Liberal Bloc Entirely

Even Elena Kagan Just Rejected Ketanji Brown Jackson and Now Three More Justices Piled On

Justice Samuel Alito called a Supreme Court colleague's argument "groundless and utterly irresponsible" this week.

Now everyone is asking how a Biden-appointed justice ended up alone against all eight colleagues – including the liberals.

The answer tells you everything Democrats don't want you to know about who Joe Biden put on the highest court in America.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has gone solo in at least five major cases this term alone – and her colleagues on both sides of the aisle are done pretending it's normal.

The most explosive moment came last week in the Louisiana redistricting fight.

The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to strike down Louisiana's unconstitutional racial gerrymander – a map designed to guarantee Democrats seats by packing Black voters into specific districts.

The court then voted 8-1 to fast-track the ruling so Louisiana could draw a fair map before the 2026 midterms.

The Grid That Democrats Built

Democrats Spent Decades Wrecking the Power Grid and Now 67 Million Americans Are About to Pay for It

PJM Interconnection just dropped a report called "Powering Reliability Through Market Design." The title sounds like a policy seminar. The contents read like a warning flare.

The grid is running short on power, and PJM is proposing what it calls "differential reliability" – a plan to ration electricity by cutting off data centers and large new businesses first while residential customers keep the lights on.

The math behind the crisis is damning. Construction timelines for new power plants have doubled. A natural gas turbine now takes at least four years from approval to operation, and environmental reviews routinely drag on longer than that.

The moment PJM reopened its interconnection queue after a years-long backlog, over 800 applications flooded in totaling 220 gigawatts of potential capacity.

The supply exists. Democrats spent decades making sure it couldn't be built.

Read more about it...

PJM Interconnection is a Regional Transmission Organization (RTO) that coordinates the movement of wholesale electricity for 67 million people across 13 states and the District of Columbia. As the largest power grid in North America, it operates competitive electricity markets, ensures reliability, and manages over 88,000 miles of transmission lines.

New York City Subway Sees 300% Spike in Murders Amid Rising Robberies and Assaults

There is no duty more fundamental to government than keeping its citizens alive. Not green energy mandates. Not bike lanes. Not sanctuary city virtue signals. Safety.

The ability to board a train and arrive home in one piece. When that basic promise collapses, everything else a politician brags about is window dressing on a burning building.

And nowhere does that promise collapse more visibly than underground — in the tunnels and platforms of America’s largest transit system, where millions of New Yorkers ride every single day. Many of them are elderly. Many are working-class. Most have no alternative. They put their trust in a city government that, increasingly, does not deserve it.

The subway-specific data is damning. Murders connected to the transit system have quadrupled — four killings so far this year compared to just one during the same period last year. Robberies underground are up 18%. Misdemeanor assaults have climbed 15%.

So how does City Hall respond? By pointing to broader citywide crime stats and hoping you’re not paying attention.

Virginia exposed the Democrat endgame in one ugly flash.

When courts rule their way, they call it democracy. When courts enforce the Constitution against them, they plot to gut the court.

After their redistricting scheme collapsed, Democrats reportedly floated lowering the Virginia Supreme Court retirement age to 54—conveniently wiping out the whole bench and letting them install friendlier judges.

That is not reform. That is court-packing by guillotine. And if this is what they are willing to discuss at the state level, imagine what they will do to SCOTUS with federal power. [Luthmann]

Hegseth and Mark Kelly spar over remarks

Hegseth Slams Democrat Sen. Mark Kelly Over Remarks on Classified Briefing Amid Growing War Concerns

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on Sunday accused Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) of improperly discussing sensitive information from a classified Pentagon briefing during a national television appearance, raising questions about whether the Arizona lawmaker crossed a legal line.

In a sharply worded post on X, Hegseth did not hold back. Referring to Kelly’s military background, he wrote, “‘Captain’ Mark Kelly strikes again,” before accusing the senator of “babbling on TV (falsely & dumbly)” about a classified briefing he had received. Hegseth went further, suggesting the matter could carry legal implications.

“Did he violate his oath…again?” Hegseth asked, adding that the Department of War’s legal counsel would review the situation.

The controversy stems from an interview Kelly gave earlier Sunday on Face the Nation with moderator Margaret Brennan. According to Brennan, Kelly referenced a classified Pentagon briefing related to the ongoing Iran war, specifically discussing its impact on U.S. weapons stockpiles.

She highlighted his remark that it was “shocking how deep we have gone into these magazines,” suggesting a significant drawdown of munitions.

The American people are less safe,” he said during the interview, arguing that depleted munitions could leave the United States vulnerable in other potential conflicts, including in the Western Pacific or elsewhere.

Hegseth’s response underscores a different concern—whether public discussion of such matters, especially if tied to classified briefings, risks exposing sensitive information. His call for a legal review signals that the administration is taking the issue seriously.

Mexican President Protecting Cartels

Mexican Senator Accuses President Sheinbaum of Shielding Narco-Politicians Following US Cartel Indictment

Every week, another American family buries a child taken by fentanyl. Every week, another community watches the poison spread through its neighborhoods, its schools, its playgrounds.

Tens of thousands of Americans die each year from this scourge. The cartels responsible operate with stunning impunity — and for years, Americans have rightly demanded to know who is letting them get away with it.

The answer doesn’t live only in cartel mountain compounds. The real enablers wear suits, hold titles, and sit behind mahogany desks in government buildings. Someone, somewhere in a position of enormous power, has been running interference for the very organizations destroying American communities.

And the curtain just got ripped wide open.

Mexican Sen. Lilly Téllez accused President Claudia Sheinbaum’s government of protecting what she called “narco-politicians” after New York prosecutors unsealed indictments accusing 10 current and former Mexican officials of working with the Sinaloa cartel to protect fentanyl trafficking operations.

Oregon launches Anti-ICE Alert System for all schools

Jonathan Turley Just Caught the University of Oregon Treating Federal Agents Like Active Shooters

The Same System That Warns About Shooters Now Warns About Federal Agents

A Brown University custodian warned campus security about a suspicious man and was ignored.

Now another university just told the whole country what it actually considers a threat on campus.

Jonathan Turley caught what they did – and it involves the same alert system used for active shooters. So, Socialist Students Delivered a Petition and the University of Oregon caved Within Days.

The Oregon Legislature passed House Bill 4079 – the so-called Safeguarding Students and Families Act – in March, and Democratic Gov. Tina Kotek signed it on March 31. The law gives every public school and university in Oregon until September 30 to build out an ICE alert notification system.

Ten days later, the University of Oregon's chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America and the newly formed UO Anti-ICE Coalition marched to the Office of the President with a petition bearing 2,600 signatures, demanding the university skip the deadline and launch the system immediately.

The university didn't wait; they launched it.

Mamdani's Tax Day

Mamdani’s Tax Day Vid Backfires as Businesses Look to Escape New York

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is already having success in redistributing wealth, right out of his city.

It seems the socialist mayor’s creepy video celebrating Tax Day and directly calling out billionaire CEO Ken Griffin as a target for a new pied-à-terre tax may have backfired.

While the slickly produced video—where he gleefully spoke about taxing the “rich”—may have been good short-term politics, it could ultimately create a financial doom cascade for a New York City already facing a “historic” budget crisis.

According to a report in the New York Post, Griffin and other “billionaire bigwigs” are earnestly considering leaving the city, or at the very least looking to make future investments elsewhere.

“The splashy one-two punch of Citadel CEO Ken Griffin and Apollo Global Management honcho Marc Rowan pledging to expand outside New York City has been coupled with a silent wave of businesses ‘quiet quitting’ the city over its hostile environment,” according to the Post.

Chris Murphy is another Connecticut hack who thinks America’s borders, money, and military power belong to everyone except American citizens.

Iran gets softness. Ukraine gets worship. Illegal immigrants get political protection. Connecticut taxpayers get lectures. Murphy, Blumenthal, and Lamont are the Nutmeg State’s three-headed establishment problem: globalist, sanctimonious, and allergic to accountability.

Murphy’s record shows the pattern—Trump hatred first, American sovereignty last. He calls enforcement cruel, treats illegal immigration like a constituency, and runs cover for the same foreign-policy disasters that weakened this country.

The Orange Wave

Blue wave? Red wave? No, an Orange Wave nears

Panicked Democrats want to retire the entire Virginia Supreme Court

The Gerrymander Wars of 2026 are almost at an end. Between the federal Supreme Court finally noticing that hey, minority-majority districts are kind of racist, and the Virginia Supreme Court upholding the rules for amending the state constitution, Trump pretty much handed Democrats their bums.

And voters are primarying RINOs for him.

Democrats in Virginia did this to themselves. In order to redistrict this year, they had to change the state constitution.

But in Virginia, before a proposed amendment goes to voters, legislators of one session of the General Assembly must approve it, followed by the election of a second legislature, which must approve of it before voters make the final decision. This slows the process by at least a year.

Democrats decided to skip the first two steps and empower themselves to redistrict between Censuses. Communists are an impatient lot. Haste made waste. Justices upheld the state constitution and they have the final say because the Supreme Court has ruled that their counterparts in the states sole jurisdiction.

Karen Bass breaks formal commitment to debate in Mayoral Forum

Karen Bass backs out of Los Angeles mayoral forum after signing commitment to attend

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass withdrew from a televised mayoral candidate forum scheduled for May 13 on FOX 11, just two weeks after she signed a document confirming she would be there.

The forum's co-sponsors, the League of Women Voters and the Pat Brown Institute for Public Affairs, announced the pullout publicly and made clear they were not happy about it.

The withdrawal drew sharp criticism from organizers, who said voters deserved to see Bass face her opponents on live television during what they called "a period of extraordinary challenges" for the city. Her campaign offered a scheduling conflict as the reason. The timeline tells a different story.

Bass confirmed her attendance on April 22 by signing a formal commitment form for the 2026 Mayoral Candidate Forum. Organizers even posted a photograph of the signed document on Instagram.

Then, on May 7, her campaign pulled the plug, not because of a conflict flagged earlier, but with a blunt message relayed through a campaign consultant: they were "done with debates."

1,000 FBI Agents out of D.C., into the field

Kash Patel touts 'generational' FBI overhaul: 1,000 agents moved to field offices, $300 million cut

FBI Director Kash Patel told the bureau's workforce that the agency has completed a sweeping restructuring over the past 14 months, reassigning more than 1,000 agents and staff from Washington, D.C., to field offices, slashing over $300 million in spending, and expanding the use of artificial intelligence to track threats.

Patel called the shakeup "generational" in a draft letter to FBI employees obtained by Fox News. The letter amounts to a progress report from a director who took the helm of an agency widely distrusted by the American right, and, Patel argues, by many of its own rank-and-file agents.

His claim: the FBI has shed layers of headquarters bloat, pushed personnel closer to actual casework, and refocused its mission on protecting Americans from domestic threats, including terrorism.

Whether the numbers hold up to outside scrutiny remains to be seen. But the scope of the claimed overhaul, more than a thousand personnel shifted, hundreds of intelligence analysts repositioned.

A new domestic terrorism mission center stood up, and billions in projected savings from a planned headquarters relocation, represents the most concrete accounting Patel has offered of changes inside the bureau since he took charge.

Pramila Jayapal working against the United States

White House rips Jayapal for working with foreign ambassadors to get oil to Cuba despite U.S. sanctions

Rep. Pramila Jayapal, a naturalized citizen and advocate for illegal immirants, told a Seattle audience she had been talking with ambassadors from Mexico and other countries about how to get oil to Cuba, a country under U.S. sanctions and on the State Sponsor of Terrorism list.

The White House responded with a blistering rebuke, and the remarks set off a firestorm over whether a sitting member of Congress crossed a legal and ethical line.

The Washington State Democrat made the comments during a recent briefing in Seattle after returning from a congressional delegation trip to Cuba in April, where she traveled with Rep. Jonathan Jackson, D-Ill. A video clip of her remarks circulated widely on X and drew immediate condemnation from the Trump administration, Republican lawmakers, and conservative commentators.

Fox News Digital reported that Jayapal described the situation on the island as "a crisis beyond imagination" and told the audience she had been working back channels with foreign diplomats to address Cuba's fuel shortages, shortages she blamed squarely on American policy.

Jayapal has also called for lifting the U.S. embargo, removing Cuba from the State Sponsor of Terrorism list, and backed legislation to block potential U.S. military action against the country.

White House spokesperson Olivia Wales did not mince words in her response to Fox News Digital:

"The Democrats continue to show Americans who they really are, the America Last party who sip margaritas with terrorists, advocate for illegal alien criminals, and undermine the United States to aid a failed, communist regime."

China's Electric Vehicles are Spy Machines

Bernie Moreno warns Chinese electric vehicles pose a mobile spying threat

Moreno Says Trump Saw The Threat Early

Senator Bernie Moreno went on Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo and made the case that Chinese electric vehicles should not be welcomed into the American market.

He said President Trump was right years ago to warn about China’s growing threat to U.S. industry, and he argued that the auto sector still matters too much to let Beijing-backed companies walk in and take over.

Moreno pointed out that the American middle class was built in large part by auto jobs, and he said it would be reckless to let heavily subsidized Chinese cars flood the country and squeeze out American workers.

That is not protectionism for its own sake. It is common sense, which seems to be in short supply whenever global elites start drooling over cheap imports and calling it progress.

Moreno said these vehicles are not just cheaper alternatives. In his view, they are loaded with cameras and connected systems that can send data back to the Chinese Communist Party.

Moreno called them surveillance devices on wheels, and he said Americans would never knowingly buy that kind of equipment for a foreign adversary. That is the kind of warning Congress ought to hear before it gets too cozy with Beijing’s bargain bin of high-tech trouble.

Obama Care - The Unaffordable Care Act

Obamacare exchanges face insurer exodus and enrollment drop as enhanced subsidies expire

Cigna announced in late April that it will abandon the Affordable Care Act exchanges in 2027. CVS' Aetna has already stopped offering plans. And a consulting firm projects marketplace enrollment could fall by as much as 26 percent this year.

Fifteen years after its passage, the signature healthcare law of the Obama era is shedding insurers, enrollees, and any pretense that massive federal subsidies built something durable.

The proximate cause is straightforward: Congress refused to renew the enhanced premium tax credits that had propped up enrollment since the COVID era. Without that extra taxpayer money flowing to insurers, the economics of the exchanges are reverting to a harsher reality, one that major carriers apparently want no part of.

The numbers tell a grim story for defenders of the law. A KFF survey published in March found that 80 percent of returning ACA Marketplace enrollees said their 2026 premiums, deductibles, or cost-sharing are higher than last year.

More than half, 51 percent, said costs are now "a lot higher." The Wakely Consulting Group projects marketplace coverage may plummet by up to 26 percent in 2026 compared to average enrollment in 2025, the Daily Caller News Foundation reported.

The subsidy spigot did more than inflate costs. It attracted fraud on a massive scale. The Congressional Budget Office estimated in October 2025 that 2.3 million marketplace enrollees improperly claimed the premium tax credit by intentionally overstating their income that year.

The Affordable Care Act was sold as a permanent fix. What it delivered was a permanent dependency, on subsidies, on mandates, and on the willingness of taxpayers to keep writing checks for a product that cannot sustain itself.

Democrats to hold meeting to defeat Republicans

Sen. Elissa Slotkin heads to Canada for center-left summit with Mark Carney on fighting the right

Sen. Elissa Slotkin, the Michigan Democrat and possible 2028 presidential contender, is set to travel to Canada on Saturday for a summit with Prime Minister Mark Carney and other center-left politicians.

The gathering, organized by the Center for American Progress, is designed to map out what organizers describe as a strategy for battling right-wing politicians on affordability, a framing that tells you everything about who they think the enemy is.

The trip comes as Carney's government deepens its economic ties with Beijing, having struck what Ottawa calls a "new strategic partnership" with China that opens the door for tens of thousands of Chinese-made electric vehicles to enter the Canadian market.

For a senator from Michigan, the historic heart of American automaking, the optics are difficult to explain away.

Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, another possible Democratic White House hopeful for 2028, will also attend, Breitbart News reported, citing Semafor.

The event follows former President Barack Obama's visit to Toronto on Friday for a keynote speech hosted by Canada 2020, a think tank that says it promotes a "more just, inclusive and forward-thinking Canada."

Trump has a 25% chance to win Nobel Peace Prize this year

Trump Leads Early Odds for Nobel Peace Prize After ‘Snub’

Bookmakers Say 2026 Could Be His Year

President Donald Trump is already the man to beat for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize — at least according to one major European bookmaker.

U.K.-based William Hill has installed Trump as the early favorite, giving him 3/1 odds to take home the prestigious award — despite the fact that the secretive Nobel Committee hasn’t even confirmed its list of nominees yet.

The betting giant says Trump was “overlooked” in 2025 — when the prize instead went to Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado — but believes this year could be different.

“Trump is the leading contender,” said spokesperson Lee Phelps, putting his chances at roughly 25%.

Many supporters argued Trump deserved recognition for his foreign policy moves during his second term — including efforts to broker peace in global conflicts.

Adding fuel to that argument: Machado herself later honored Trump in a highly symbolic gesture, presenting him with her Nobel medal at the White House as a sign of gratitude for his role in Venezuela’s political shift.

Fetterman, a man who stands alone in the Alt-Left Democrat party

Fetterman admits he feels 'lonely' as a moderate in a Democratic Party that keeps moving left

Sen. John Fetterman told Bill Maher on Friday that he has no plans to leave the Democratic Party, but that staying in it has become an increasingly isolated experience.

The Pennsylvania senator, who has broken with his caucus on a string of high-profile votes this year, described himself as "lonely" inside a party he says has abandoned its own principles on border security, government shutdowns, and the treatment of men.

The remarks, made during an appearance on "Real Time with Bill Maher," amount to the latest in a long sequence of public breaks between Fetterman and the progressive wing of his party.

And they raise a question Democrats seem determined not to answer: if a senator who calls himself a "committed Democrat" can't find company inside the tent, how big is the tent, really?

The Hill reported that Fetterman addressed the growing friction head-on, telling Maher he has repeatedly voted against his own caucus on matters he considers fundamental.

"I don't enjoy that, but we used to be a party that would always refuse to shut the government down, and now we, now have shut it down and dropped a lot of mass chaos, and I just couldn't be a part of that."
