State Dept. Press Sect. Tammy Bruce press briefing today; 47 minutes. Sect. Rubio and Witkoff are in Paris for Ukraine-Russia talks.
While cruising the headlines this afternoon came across this article. It covers the possibility of Russia asking Indonesia for permission to allow Russia and possibly China Inc. to station long range Bombers on a base near near New Guinea. The article launches into the Atomic weapon angle but missed the real reasons all together.
The primary job of the Russian long range aviation (especially in the pacific) is not nuclear weapon delivery but LONG RANGE RECON, Sea Lane Interdiction and CARRIER KILLING CRUISE MISSILE delivery. China Inc. flies their MODERNIZED versions of the exact same Bombers.
This base added to their bases in: the Solomon Islands, Spratly’s, Artificial Islands in the sea of Japan, East Africa, Vietnam, (Maybe Diego Garcia) and Coastal China Inc. puts ANTI-SIP MISSILE Bombers, Land based Cruise Missiles, Long range Surface to Air Weapons and RECON assets within:
Striking range of Subic Bay in the Philippians
Striking Range of the NEW US Base in Darwin Australia
Striking Distance of the Malagga Straits and Singapore
Closes the Indian Ocean
Closes the entire Approach to Taiwan via the Indian Ocean and Australia Continent
Makes any bases in Japan and South Korea Vulnerable
From a military point of view: it gives the US Navy and USAF only a single option to support Taiwan …. sailing and flying directly across the Pacific from Hawaii – Midway into the teeth of defenses on the Chinese Mainland.
Economically threatens ALL Commercial Sea Lines, by cutting the Globe in half.that is before even thinking about the impact of deals with Panama, South America, Canada and South Africa.

While the US and EU are stuck playing; Lawfare, DEI/Woke and Green New Deal Games, China Inc.and Russia as well as BRICS members are attempting to game territorial advantage.

Trump Admin Orders Social Media Review for Gaza Sympathy
Visitors from all but 43 countries subject to vetting of posts since 2007
KEN KLIPPENSTEIN
APR 17, 2025
”
Secretary of State Marco Rubio today ordered the vetting of all visa applicants who have been to the Gaza strip since 2007, according to a diplomatic cable marked “SENSITIVE” that we obtained.
The order applies not just to Palestinians but also anyone there for any period of time, including NGO workers and people there in an official or even diplomatic capacity….”

I was trying to find out important stuff, like will Georgia get to see Elon at the White House today, and I found out I’m not the only one concerned about this:
Joseph Pino
@JosephPino_
Georgia Meloni is at the White House despite the EU wanting a united front against Trump. Chances that Elon stops in to see his notgirlfriend? High!
https://x.com/JosephPino_/status/1912901478215266607
Hopefully he doesn’t offer to impregnate her too– he is on a roll afterall.
I am not convinced it is romance that had Elon and Meloni talking,…she was the head of the European Cooalition of 27 populist political parties in the EU, last year, nicknamed MEGA, and is still a very important voice in that coalition.
Elon has been heavily invested in the EU Populist mvmt, invested time and energy, even while setting up Doge.
He did an “X” chat with the candidate for the AFD, German popukist party, right when the govt. was considering outlawing the party, he had that public spat with Farage that was resolved, Romanian pupulists have asked for his assistance, etc.
I think the romance angle is more of a cover,..myself.
Elon needs EU allies because he has already faced the EU Anti-Trust shakedown scam, that cost him Millions in settlement fees.
There is not a US Tech Company, no matter their political persuasion, that has not faced the EU ant-trust and privacy shakedown scam … forcing them to pay Millions in settlement fees, to the unelected EU Organization and not member nations.
Plus the EU has issues with Elon’s products built by China Inc. via his use of US Bailout and Department of Energy Money from 2009, as capital funding the start up.
Including DOGE efforts … Elon is for Elon.
PDJT’s next leadership call: Responding to the FSU shooting. 2 shooters. 15 injured. 5 deceased.
Things to watch:
Who were the shooters?
Was it manufactured? Coerced/manipulated by controlling shooters? Or emotionally/cause-driven by shooters.
Watch for pre-rehearsed responses from those wanting to capitalize on the crisis:
Gun control advocates
Those looking for a reason to blame PDJT or anyone else to support their cause
FOX news supposedly broadcast the safe password that was used to gain entry
Tongue in cheek?
Faux headline still showing 6 injured.
CNN shows 5…
No I was going by reports from ground connections. I’ll be quiet, I guess that source isn’t reliable.
Police briefing live on air now
1 shooter
A sheriff deputy’s son
Was challenged by police, did not comply, was shot and killed
Did not get off any shots at police
Shooter is in hospital. Not Dead?
quote I heard was x-number dead, including the shooter
next day — read that it was 2 dead, six injured including the shooter
ONE shooter. A student. a sheriff deputies son whose gun was used in the shooting.
I think the confusion is because there was a similar shooting in Dallas yesterday, and we’re here talking about Tallahassee:

Their Supreme Court cures England of Transgender Insanity!!!
Trans women ‘set to be barred from female bathrooms and sports and could be asked to use disabled toilets at work’ after new landmark ruling links gender to biological sex
The Supreme Court’s ruling that the definition of a woman in equality law is based on biological sex means trans women with a gender recognition certificate (GRC) can be excluded from single-sex spaces if ‘proportionate’.
Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) chairwoman Baroness Kishwer Falkner has described yesterday’s ruling as ‘enormously consequential’ and she vowed to pursue organisations which do not update their policies.
On issues such as toilets, changing rooms and sports, Baroness Falkner echoed the Government in saying the ruling had brought ‘clarity’ to providers on their duties under equality law around single-sex spaces.
Asked if it was now simple that trans women cannot take part in women’s sport, she told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: ‘Yes, it is.’
On changing rooms and toilets, Baroness Falkner said: ‘Single-sex services like changing rooms must be based on biological sex.’
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14622617/Trans-women-barred-female-bathrooms-sports.html
problem with the headline, should read:
“Men barred from female bathrooms, sports”
… in which case it’s not news, just the way it’s always been
Postscript to the ruling and your comment …. read the entire UK Court ruling …. the postscript and UK Court ruling reads …. “until the UK Parliament changes the definition of a women in legislation ”
The UK Court’s ruling IS NOT permanent as they pulled a Chief Justice Roberts by pointing to out that legislation can be passed to change this ruling. Their ruling was based on the wording of the ACT in question, that can be amended.
The UK Media is already reporting that legislation is being prepared to change the definition.

The Heritage Foundation “obtained and analyzed movement patterns of anonymized mobile devices that were detected on the premises of over 30 NGO facilities at or near the border.”
The devices were later traced to 431 separate U.S. congressional districts out of a total 435 congressional districts.
Two other investigations tracked 8,400 unique mobile devices to 434 congressional districts out of a total of 435 congressional districts.
Illegals were being spread to every corner of the US.

It’s going to have to be someone else that gets this done.
We’re not ever going to see what we want to see from these goons, Pam, Kash and Dan.
It’s going to have to be an AG Ken Paxton–like person or people.
We The People need to get it done.
We need to kick the habit of looking to the government to solve any problem at all, they can’t even solve the egg problem for cripes sake.

In the meantime, DOJ should have the marshals bar Boasberg from the courthouse and other federal buildings and shut off his computer access. He’s actively aiding enemies of this country as declared by the President under his authority under the Alien Enemies Act. The term for that is treason. They could shut him down now and keep him shut down until the Supreme Court can decide the issue, and even then decide if it will follow the decision or not. My view is that courts have no say whatsoever over the President’s actions under the Alien Enemies Act.

Translation, sugar fuels cancer. Try keto.
If everyone has to go keto that’s going to be a hard sell. It’s not an easy diet to live with, but if it kills cancer then I guess it’s a pretty good deal. How long does one have to stay on keto to stop the cancer and what happens if they go off keto after the cancer is stopped? Lots of questions.
Anything that halts cancer that isn’t invasive mutilating surgery, harsh chemicals or radiation burns is a huge step forward. Hope this is the big step forward every human needs in treating this insidious disease.
I’ve done keto for two years. No sugar or refined carbs. Not difficult. Fruits, veges, nuts, fish, meat. The plan I follow allows 55 grams of carbs daily. I eat only between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m.

I Like her she seems like a reasonable person. She said no to the EU about

his first state dinner should be for Italy and her..
Watch what she does, not what she says. She is very good at projecting. We have been fooled by her in the past. She is not what she appears to be.
not sure when the Patriot Act is next up for re-authorization, but I’m 100% sure all the people close to Trump will insist he sign-off on that. If he doesn’t, they will say, all sorts of terrorist acts will be unleashed on the American public and wreck his presidency. The only terrorist acts that would be unleashed would be acts planned and coordinated by our own government against its people.
Trump isn’t stupid. He lived through two attempted assassinations perpetrated by our own government and countless attempts to use law enforcement and the courts to take away his freedom and the freedoms of many of his friends (some successfully).. What he actually does will be watched very closely. The Patriot Act needs to be part of America’s ugly past. It has no place in our future. It needs to be completely killed.
He has made a major break with the I/C Globullusts, in firmly disputing/disavowing/destroying their false narrative of “unprovoked Russian aggression”, and calling Zman a dictator.
As he now has an alternative way to wield “soft power” globally (with tariffs) and so counter the efforts of the Globullusts CIA, I hope he feels he is secure enough to oppose them on reauthorisation…but you are correct. If he does, and it expires they will unleash a barrage if MK ULTRA atracks on us, and blame him….
The terrorist acts are perpetrated against U.S. patriots (directly or indirectly) by our government.
I normally won’t watch a video longer than 2 minutes, but MY GOODNESS, you have to watch this masterpiece of performance art. I’ve watched videos of Ren’s busking (street performances) and he was amazing, but this took it to a whole other level.
For all of us that have experienced the negative self thoughts and internal battles, struggling to stand strong in the face of adversity when everything says to quit, this piece captures all of it. I have watched it 40 times now and it still brings tears to my eyes.
This was shot LIVE in one take (4 tries but one take) with live vocals and guitar as they only had an hour to use the basement. This is a Shakespeare play musically and it draws you in, not knowing what will happen next.
I listen to a lot of different music genres, but I can honestly say this is the most engaging, raw, talented, and amazing piece of music I have seen in my life.

Why the scummy surroundings? It was a distraction and he deserved better. I couldn’t help but feel he is an abused mental asylum patient. I’ll see if I can find a video of him that will let us focus more on his music.

I don’t know if he was abused, but Ren Gill has suffered from chronic illness since his teens. He had Lyme Disease which was misdiagnosed. The side effects of the disease, and the improper treatments have left him a world of hurt.
His second album, Sic Boi, is about his battles with his medical issues. Hi Ren was released as a single, but not included on the album.
Pretty amazing. Thank you for sharing. Very thought provoking and even inspirational in a very unusual way
Nope. I’ll take The four Tops over this any day.
In case you didn’t know, there have been several murders of American citizens in Maryland by illegal foreign nationals as the Democrat sanctuary state becomes a home and magnet for violent migrant activity. The case of the repatriated Salvadoran, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, has brought attention to the Old Line State, particularly since Garcia allegedly worked as a human trafficker of migrants from Texas to Maryland.

“We are all afraid.”

I suspect it’s The Murk and her fellow Democommunists.

It’s too bad. She is not the best Alaska can do. Her job is to represent her constituents. She doesn’t seem clear on this. If afraid, she should question her position and/or seek another line of work.
If Alaska got rid of their ranked-choice voting system, she may actually have a real primary challenge that could finally see Murkowski retired from politics.
Well this is quite a list and certainly makes one think about all the series of actions and how they fit together…

Trump has spent almost $30 million on golf since January. FOUR MONTHS
https://www.pennlive.com/politics/2025/04/trump-slammed-by-lawmaker-for-running-up-massive-golf-tab.html?outputType=amp
For all that’s holy – please sit down.
Seriously? You are so obvious….
Oh, please…..
The man doesn’t even pocket the salary he makes.
.
Trump isn’t at Mar-a-Lago et al. merely to play golf.
Meanwhile, what’s the tab for the Secret Service protection STILL while they traipse around the world for the useless eternally vacationing and playing Clintons, Obamas, and Bidens?J
.
You mean that President Trump can’t play for free at his own golf course?
The CIA plays for free. Usually on the 6th Fairway.
Are you still here?
🤣 😂
You all tried this golf stuff in the first term. Nobody believes he plays golf except at his OWN courses and the 2 times he did play, he won the tournaments.
Get over it.
That ain’t nothin ‘.
You should look at the price tag for Melania’s new Hermes handbags!
She should get herself some Hermes type of underwear and send the FBI the bill.
Considering the cost of one hours time of Congress is 450 k. Considering all the time they waste on stupid stuff, at least he works a 12 hr day if not more. Sorry, Congress is the one wasting trillions of dollars, not Trump.
When a golfer gets a hole in one, it is customary to buy a round at the 19th hole (the bar).
President Trump’s shot quite a few hole in ones. Honestly, I would have thought the tab would have been much higher.
Maybe he worked out a deal and got a significant discount on all the rounds. A frequent flyer program, so to speak.
He’s very good at golf, but he’s even better at making deals. He’s perfected that to an Art.
I just leaned into your “$30 million” fake story just about as well as #45-47 leans into his long ball drives. Unlike your fake story, President Trump hits them long and straight.
$30 million? Most likely fake, but let’s compare this fake number with some real expenditures shall we?
Here are some real items to compare…
How does that number compare to the amount of money authorized by Congress to spend on things like:
On condoms in some third world country?
Or male circumcisions in some place no one’s even heard of?
Or alternative gender promotion and affirmation in some small country on the other side of the planet?
Or Sesame Street in the Middle East?
The list goes on.
Here’s a quick list from back in February for USAID alone:

Thank you for “teeing up” this argument for us.
Why do they want him back home so bad? Why him above all the others. He’s clearly a hoodlum.
My theory: He’s an MS 13 leader. He knows the marching orders from people in U.S. government deep state. He has information that will incriminate the Uniparty/globalists — not just Obama/Biden. But the CIA. RINOs ask crazy democrats to make the drama.
My theory is they don’t really care if he comes back. They want him dead or at least his mouth not working.
Agree they want him silenced. Methinks he knows about too many things–like Seth Rich for example.
This seems to be heading in this direction. FBI supposedly called off a surveillance unit or some such thing????
Yes. two years ago. Tennessee Troopers told to let him and several others go.
If they can get him back into the US they can use him as their lawfare hook to get the lower courts to create a new precedent of Article III being able to block international actions by Article II – this is an actual Constitutional crisis which is the left’s last chance to complete the fundamental transformation their ‘One’ promised them.
Spartacus can’t wait for a taxpayer paid road trip and slumber party in Van Hollen’s room.

Trump: “I think she’s a great PM. I think she’s doing a fantastic job in Italy.”

Trump: “It could only be her…”
Video linked…
Admittedly late to the party, I gotta admit, not for first or last time, that I have been wrong.
I have defended Pam Bondi, or at least questioned those piling on in criticising her.
She has got to go, I agree…she is at best in over her head, at worst an intentional plant to protect the elites, and it really doesn’t matter which…
And, never really was all that fond of Patel or Bongiino,…wondering if this trio was the best President Trump thought he could get?
Kash Patel fooled me completely.
A lot of us have been fooled. Base is being taken for granted. Not a wise move
It’s scary that she is such a lightweight in the most important position in the Trump Administration. I’m not even talking about past crimes, but the current Dem plan of non-stop lawfare and injunctions to try and trip up President Trump is bound to happen with her at the helm.
There’s an article at Breibart from Laura Ingraham’s show detailing their plans. Bondi is not sharp enough to handle what’s coming.
I wish he had asked Harriet Hageman to be the AG….
Bondi is ridiculous and not a good look for President Trump’s administration. She doesn’t sound authoritative in the slightest when she speaks. She certainly has a very expensive wardrobe though…
Kash Patel is a huge disappointment and so is Dan Bongio (why he keeps tweeting nothings is beyond me). Promoting the villains of J6? And what is with Kash living somewhere other than DC where his job is?
I am hoping that some changes will be made in due course.
Which is likely why she speaks with that parental scolding voice. We. Will. NOT. Tolerate. This. We. Will. Find. You. And. We. Will. Arrest. You.
Harriet Hageman would never say a word until a dozen or so were arrested.
The Head of the FIBs is not a remote, zoom job.
What are the factors that have changed your mind?
Bongino is on Fox, so was Bondi. Should we assume anyone on Fox is suspect? But so was Kudlow, and he seemed good
What I do not is that there is a power surge of expectation and intolerance BS coming from the awakened populace of the U.S.. We need to manage our own mechanisms of pressure on every aspect of government: exec, legislative, judicial, military, admin.
Educating, activating, and empowering the people has probably been the greatest contribution of PDJT to the U.S.
It’s called, “Go potty,” or “Get off the potty,”
and let someone who is actually gonna do something have a turn!
If she’s window dressing meant to look good on Fox News appearances, appoint a hard-charging Number 2 to get the job done while she’s the public face
Problem solved
When we learned she knew about the false witness pretending to be Trayvon’s girlfriend, testify in the Zimmerman trial, thus giving birth for the creation by her friend Benjamin Crump’s Black Lives Matter group of rioters, how could anyone have forgotten her part in that tragedy and thus not expect anything to change at the DOJ?
Patel – he’s an institutional guy, loves the institution, has made his entire career being part of the institution of the DOJ, and its arm the FBI, he was always going to stand up for the good people in the agency.
Bongino – he was warned by various posts on twitter/X to carefully consider his decision to step down from his takking gig on Rumble and got lured in by the promise of making real change. Maybe he is in the background figuring out how to make that happen while Blondi and Patel continue their press tour gigs.
My hope is for the people under them, the lawyers targeted by the lawfare campaigns against lawyers who were/are pro-MAGA being able to do the work that needs to be done while the others primp for their next Fox News appearance.
Well, I was willing to play along…. not feeling too good so far, but these are complicated cases, such as jailing Mayorkas, so I can hope they’re taking the time to cross the T’s and dot the I’s…..
For the record, I wanted Paxton for AG and Clay Higgins for FBI. Higgins would have tore ’em up.
She’s worthless.
BREAKING: Supreme Court says it will hear oral arguments on whether President Trump can implement his proposal to end automatic birthright citizenship. — NBC News (@NBCNews) April 17, 2025
Supreme Court agrees to rule on Trump’s ‘birthright citizenship’ challenge
By: Bob Unruh April 17, 2025
https://www.wnd.com/2025/04/supreme-court-agrees-to-rule-on-trumps-birthright-citizenship-challenge/
The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to decide whether the U.S. Constitution actually includes “birthright citizenship,” the idea that any baby born on U.S. soil regardless of the legal or illegal status of the parents is a U.S. citizen … or not!
Speaking to voters, Friedman bragged that House Democrats have established a so-called “litigation working group,” aka “shadow government,” comprised of approximately 75 sitting members of Congress who gather behind closed doors every week to craft legal strategies in conjunction with state AGs — the same AGs who have brought politically motivated lawsuits and investigations against Trump, his businesses, his allies, and his policies.
“Every single week, we have a litigation working group where a large group of us—and I’m talking maybe 75 members of the House—sit down with the AGs to talk about legal strategy,” said Friedman.
Of course, Republicans in the House know about this. They just did not tell us about it.
Nothing to see here.
It’s not like the J6 insurrection of selfie taking at the Capitol.
No way what the Democommunists are doing that could be construed an insurrection.
Absolutely disgusting. Now well known. Illegal and unconstitutional. Shouldn’t they be arrested?
Insurrection? Sedition?
Conspiracy sedition.

….”Since Assembly Bill 218, which lifted the time limit on sex abuse lawsuits, is a state bill, Los Angeles could be the first of multiple California counties hit with multi-billion dollar bills.”
….”Maryland’s Child Victims Act was only passed in 2023, but legislators rushed to shut it down after it was estimated that the state was facing $4 billion in liabilities.”
👉🏻….”Democratic legislators were lobbied by politically connected law firms, often using alleged ‘victims’ as a front, with the promise of scoring big payouts from the Catholic Church. California and Maryland officials had been warned that they were exposing their states to untold billions in liability over accusations from a generation ago that could not be defended against.”
👉🏻”The dirty little secret of the accusations
is
👉🏻how few of them can even be verified.”
▶️…”The law firms can be expected to pass the money back to the California legislators who enabled their money grab. While counties raise taxes and local schools cut services, the politicians responsible for this planned disaster will see contributions to their campaigns and ‘dark money’ donations to their 501(c)(3) social welfare nonprofits from those same law firms.”
What an ass! Virtue-signaling that somehow the Trump DOJ is lawless, as opposed to these far-overreaching district judges!
“Source: CNN
A federal appeals court rejected the Trump administration’s request that it halt the next steps Judge Paula Xinis is seeking to take in the case concerning a migrant who was wrongly deported to El Salvador, with a strident warning about the rule of law and the possibility the dispute presented an “incipient crisis.”
The 4th US Circuit Court of Appeals said in its seven-page ruling Thursday that the Trump administration’s assertions in the case “should be shocking not only to judges, but to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans far removed from courthouses still hold dear.”
The unanimous ruling was written by Judge Harvie Wilkinson, an appointee of former President Ronald Reagan. In it, he was extremely critical of the administration’s effort to undo some of Xinis’ recent orders in the case, sounding alarm bells about how its maneuverings in the matter have resulted in the two branches “grinding irrevocably against one another in a conflict that promises to diminish both.”
“The Judiciary will lose much from the constant intimations of its illegitimacy, to which by dent of custom and detachment we can only sparingly reply,” Wilkinson wrote. “The Executive will lose much from a public perception of its lawlessness and all of its attendant contagions. The Executive may succeed for a time in weakening the courts, but over time history will script the tragic gap between what was and all that might have been, and law in time will sign its epitaph.”
The appeals court used the order to weigh in on the broader atmosphere around President Donald Trump’s conflict with the judiciary.
“The basic differences between the branches mandate a serious effort at mutual respect. The respect that courts must accord the Executive must be reciprocated by the Executive’s respect for the courts,” the 4th Circuit said. “Too often today this has not been the case, as calls for impeachment of judges for decisions the Executive disfavors and exhortations to disregard court orders sadly illustrate.”
The court’s rejection of the Justice Department’s bid for emergency intervention sets the stage for the dispute to return to the Supreme Court, one week after the justices left most of the Xinis’ order that the government facilitate the migrants return.
The order, nonetheless, ended with a note of optimism.
“It is, as we have noted, all too possible to see in this case an incipient crisis, but it may present an opportunity as well,” the 4th Circuit said. “We yet cling to the hope that it is not naïve to believe our good brethren in the Executive Branch perceive the rule of law as vital to the American ethos.”
Ass! Here’s what he should have written: “We yet cling to the hope that it is not naïve to believe that our good brethren in the Judicial Branch perceive the rule of law as it reconciles with our Constitution as vital to the American ethos.”
https://lite.cnn.com/2025/04/17/politics/4th-circuit-wilkinson-abrego-garcia-xinis/index.html
If the judicary doesn’t want to be viewed as illegitimate, it can butt out of foreign policy and things like removal of illegals from the country. Those things are outside the scope of Article III and the sole purview of the Executive Branch.
This judge’s political rant is part of why the judiciary is losing legitimacy.
Karmelo Anthony’s family now owns an 800,000 home in gated community along with a 150,000 Cadillac Escalade and are now going to sue the school. for suspending Anthony.
Its looking very much like Abrego Garcia’s family’s go fund me account is going to give them the same, and we all know that the democrats will probably aid in his lawsuit against America.
What the H3LL has our country come to where people and families profit off being criminals.

Also, GoFundMe does not allow accounts for those accused of criminal acts; believe it or not, these funds were raised on our very favorite GiveSendGo.
And yes, this Dominique “minister” guy has shades of Sharpton all over him, and yes, this is quickly turning into yet another OJ Race Trial. For years now I have noticed that whites are free game and rarely receive any justice. Remember the OJ juror who claimed she knew he was guilty, but voted not guilty for racial reasons? Makes one wonder how we’ll ever again be a lawful society as long as we’re pretending to be a multi-race legal system; it certainly hasn’t benefitted the victims of black violence.
This is snippets of what I found on line–which looks like he raise over 1/2 Million on line….has gotten 1 new car at least and if renting paying between $3,500 to 4,000 a month rent. Not really the hardship that they claimed in court to get bail lowered.
Texas Teen Accused in Fatal Stabbing Lives in Gated Community Despite Pleas of Financial Hardship
The Texas teenager accused of fatally stabbing a fellow student-athlete is back home after posting a reduced bond — but the conditions of his release are raising eyebrows.
“Karmelo received more than $500,000 from online donations from people looking to support the young Black teen, who many believe was protecting himself from a racist bully. Media Take Out learned that Karmelo’s family have not yet made any withdrawals from the donations yet.”
“Online property records show that homes in the Richwoods community can fetch prices well above $850,000, with some listings nearing $1.2 million. Rent estimates for homes of similar size and style in the neighborhood are around $3,500 to $4,000 per month.”

As Blanche said “Money for murder, sickening”
Stab a white kid, live a life of luxury
Shoot a health-insurance executive, be the heartthrob of young women and Dem commentators everywhere
The state of America in 2025
Money for murder, sickening.
I cannot imagine the absolute horror that the family of the victim are going through, especially the surviving twin brother. This is as an act of demonic unhumanism. These are not people with any soul at all.
avoid them, they can’t behave
The “man of lawlessness is being revealed”.
Cuz of COURSE!

THE JUDICIARY IS OWNED
Thank you, President Trump, for forcing the cure ALL THE WAY TO THE ROOT

Locking very much like the Globalist Democrats are playing games with wrong illegal.
However, what is new. The Democrats made a hero out of Flyrod, so guess it is time to make another criminal a hero for our American teens and young adults to look up to.
WHOA! Abrego Garcia Was Allegedly on a TERRORIST WATCH LIST and Caught in a Big Human Trafficking Operation But Biden’s FBI Ordered His Release
The Tennessee Star broke an explosive story on Wednesday, revealing that Kilmar Abrego Garcia was allegedly accused of engaging in human trafficking by a Tennessee Highway Patrol (THP) officer back in December 2022 and detained by the officer. The cop allegeds the gangster was transporting seven passengers from Texas to Maryland.The officer also discovered Abrego Garcia did not have a valid driver’s license. He then detained the illegal.
After the officer took Abrego Garcia into custody, the THP contacted the FBI, asking what to do next. Joe Biden’s FBI unsurprisingly ordered the THP to let Abrego Garcia walk free because they valued violent illegals more than innocent Americans. THP then complied with the order.
But the news gets even worse. It turns out that not only was Abrego Garcia likely trafficking fellow human beings, but he was reportedly on a TERRORIST WATCH LIST at the time.

Time for a visit from the Secret Service.
I am proud to announce the formation of my revamped Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC), which is comprised of Top Experts in their field, who are highly respected by their peers. It is a big honor to serve on HSAC, and I know the new Members, South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster, Mark Levin, Bo Dietl, and Joseph Gruters, will do an incredible job. Under Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem’s leadership, HSAC will work hard on developing new Policies and Strategies that will help us secure our Border, deport Illegal Criminal Thugs, stop the flow of Fentanyl and other illegal drugs that are killing our Citizens, and MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN. Congratulations to all!

UPDATE: Kent State Trump Assassination ‘Art’ to be Taken Down by Student Artist

NEW: Supreme Court Agrees to Hear Arguments in Trump Birthright Citizenship Case
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/04/new-supreme-court-agrees-hear-arguments-trump-birthright/
Oh lovely, the 4th Circuit just invented a totally new class of US citizen. “The resident”. All you have to do to become “a resident” is illegally break into the country, and you get every right an American citizen has. MORE, in fact, because you cannot be deported for your lawless actions. And jackass US Senators will give you more rights than murdered American citizens.
We had “the resident” in the White House and now we have millions of little residents.
We also have an indentured class, the taxpayer.
I think Trump needs to come out FORCEFULLY that the courts have gone completely off the rails with this ruling.
They’ve invented a whole new class of citizenship that is entirely lawless. And in their ruling they bizarrely try to make the district judge look like “a good person” or something like that.
That is not law. That is tyranny.
Furthermore, Trump should issue a statement directly to the court that the illegal alien was returned to his home country. The United States WILL MAKE NO EFFORT WHATSOEVER to retrieve him. And that their creation of a new class of citizenship – “the resident” – is utterly lawless. He should state that the court is fabricating laws to advance their IDEOLOGICAL and POLITICAL goals. “We will make no effort to comply with the court’s orders as they require the President to violate the sovereignty of El Salvador. The wife beating criminal alien has been returned to his country. Deportations will continue. Let his experience SERVE AS A WARNING TO OTHERS. We are going to deport you. Leave now, because if we have to send you home, not only will you forever lose your right to return, but you might just get thrown in prison upon your return to your homeland. Leave. Now.”
He has the public on his side
To the American People release a statement or give a speech. “As you can see by these increasingly bizarre and ideological court rulings, many of the problems in your communities caused by the plague of illegal entry into the US are caused by unelected, unaccountable, judges acting on their political agendas. Not the law. I will be working with Speaker Johnson and Leader Thune to advance legislation reforming these rouge courts, decreasing their numbers, their funding, and their authority to engage in matters outside their purview.”
Whether is the bizarre imposition of gay “marriage”, compulsory purchase of health insurance, the court protection of election fraud, the fabrication of phony criminal cases against the enemies of Democrats/bureaucrats, or the imposition of an alien enemy army on US soil, the courts have gone too far. They have become untethered from anything resembling the law.
In short, they’ve lost their minds, and in succumbing to their madness, they’ve lost their legitimacy.
Judicial Insurrection!

It’s a beautiful thing.
No one is above the law!
Excellent presentation
Watch his Joe Rogan podcast. It will give you a different perspective on this guy. I think the other guy was a Dave Smith or something.
Idiot Dems still dying on the MS-13 gangster hill.
The Dimmy Senator finding out he really doesn’t have the power he thought he did.
According to Fox News it looks like he’s been released.
According to Fox News … yeah … 🤡
He was released for a meeting with the Senator. He’s going right back to the prison and not the US.
Democratic New York Attorney General Letitia “Elect me and I will prosecute Donald J. Trump for some crime / any crime” James seems to be an absent landlord of her mortgaged properties.
Did she file a state or federal tax return from that address?
Does she take mail at that address?
Does she have any vehicles registered at that address?
Is she registered to vote from that address?
Do any of her bank accounts have that address?
Are the utilities for that address in her name?
Some lucky FBI Agent is gonna have FUN investigating this !
I am curious if she is renting them to section 8 tenants.
Or illegals …
No one is above the law!
😖
Carville is going all in: “We gotta go all-in to get this guy home”
KEEP PASSING OUT THE ROPE, PRESIDENT TRUMP
The ripples moving out away from Abrego Garcia are encompassing the entire Dem machine as they ramp up the disappeared-Saint-Kilmar narrative, inversely proportional to the information we’re getting about his status, nothing supports this counterintuitive behavior EXCEPT intense pressure from dark places
Trump letting the dissembling run it’s course should be instructive ie DEEP STATE IMPLOSION
Haven’t read through all this, but from the looks of some of the commentary, it’s as bad as we thought (knew).
THIS is X of the day! What a troll.

The illegal, wife beating, MS-13 gang banger, human smuggling, caught with drugs, and wanted on a terrorist watch list got a meeting with D-bag Senator Von Hollen. This is truly disgusting!
********
Find someone who looks at you the way Senator Chris Van Hollen looks at an illegal immigrant who violently assaults his wife and has confirmed ties to MS-13 and human trafficking.
“Wife-Beating MS-13 Gang Member Emerges From El Salvador’s Death Camps to Speak With Dem Senator”
Excerpts:
Van Hollen never met with Patty Morin like this, the mother of Rachel Morin, who was raped and murdered by an illegal alien from El Salvador in August of 2023. Garcia is neither a legal resident nor a citizen of the United States. He’s an illegal alien gangbanger, who would be re-arrested and deported again if he were returned, which isn’t happening. And, of course, everyone mock Axios for being super late to the latest details about Garcia. This outlet also described him as a “Maryland constituent” (via Axios).

I love chess.
The US bombed the port of Ras Isa in Yemen – 17 workers and port staff dead so far, dozens more injured.
“…This strike was not intended to harm the people of Yemen, who rightly want to throw off the yoke of Houthi subjugation and live peacefully..”
As self serving as any Biden administration posting, showing no understanding of the support that the people of northern Yemen have given to the Houthis.
Allow humanitarian aid into Gaza and there will be no bombing or missiles sent by the Houthis.
But our government would rather spend billions of our tax dollars on bombing a poor country that has little protection from our bombs and little ability to fight back.
Who are the real terrorists?
You have a link to that report ? It’s not a mainstream media link I hope .
Reuters. https://www.reuters.com/world/us-military-strikes-yemens-ras-isa-fuel-port-2025-04-17/
Just as I suspected , mainstream media .
I pay no mind to any of the below sources , they ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS make things up to make Trump look bad . If you source the story from a non mainstream media source it will read very very different .
I didn’t get my information from any of those sources.
Yes, it is all over Telegram channels. It is reported in the Jerusalem Post. It is reported by U.S. Central Command on Twitter. It is reported here:

It would be a pity, if Harvard University loses its tax-exempt status. Why not make Harvard great again?
Why are 30% of Harvard students foreign?
“Justice Kagan just denied emergency request from four people in the US illegally who are set to be deported.”…..
If any and all deportations are going to be appealed from the Board of Immigration Appeals to the 9th Circuit and then to the SCOTUS, this country is in more trouble than most people think.
Where the hell is it stated in the law that illegals get to appeal their deportations all the way through the federal court system once the Board of Immigration Appeals has made their decision?
I agree. Constitutional rights are for citizens. If one has been in this country over 30 days without a visa, they are illegal, and should be deported, period.
Illegals get deported. No ifs ands or buts. Megalomaniacal lunatics like Boasberg can pound sand.
It’s downright scary. Non-citizens getting advocated for 100 times more than an actual citizen.
