Bondi, DOJ announce charges against New York officials 
over immigration actions
Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Wednesday that the Department of Justice has filed charges against New York officials over their immigration policies. She pointed to Governor Kathy Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James by name, saying the state has "chosen to prioritize illegal aliens over American citizens."
Also charged is Mark Schroeder, commissioner of the New York Department of Motor Vehicles. Bondi cited New York's Green Light laws, also known as the Driver's License Act, which allows illegal immigrants to get a driver's license. During the news conference, Bondi urged states with sanctuary policies to comply with federal law

Is a “vibe shift” sweeping the Western world?   
So, what changed? Where did the “vibe shift” originate? Donald Trump was obviously a significant part of it. The press dubbed him the “chaos candidate”; after the first few weeks of his second administration, it is probably more accurate to call him the “catalyst candidate.” Trump was an independently wealthy outsider with a TV star’s uncanny ability to read the room and the personal charisma to lead the room; he is a businessman who prizes both loyalty and revenge. When the “American blob” reacted to his first election like the invasion of a foreign object and attempted to expel him, it largely crippled his first administration. But the American people sent Trump back, and his war on the “Deep State” is now deeply personal.
   It turns out that many people were sick of being constantly racialized. They were tired of being told to recite their pronouns and check their privilege. They liked many aspects of the nanny state, but didn’t like the wealthy, hectoring harridans in charge of it. When they resisted, they were cancelled, demonized, and frequently destroyed (consider what the press attempted to do to the Covington kids at the March for Life).

The Left Unwittingly Proves Trump’s Point on the Need to Root Out Anti-Christian Bias  Trump cited numerous examples of anti-Christian bias, which these critics largely ignored. He noted that pro-life Christians received multiyear prison sentences for peacefully protesting at abortion centers, while the Biden Justice Department largely ignored hundreds of attacks on Catholic churches and pro-life pregnancy resource centers. He noted the notorious FBI Richmond, Virginia, memo that suggested traditional Catholics represented a domestic terrorism threat. He also cited the Health and Human Services Department’s move to force transgender orthodoxy in foster care.
       Finally, the president noted that the Biden administration declared Easter Sunday “Transgender Day of Visibility.”

Chuck Schumer posts tipline for corruption, and look whose name shows up right away!  His own name immediately appeared, as he was called out for standing on the steps of the Supreme Court during a pro-abortion rally, and screaming threats at Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.
   He threatened they would "pay the price" if their decisions didn't make him happy. Image

Why do we treat murdering a pregnant woman differently from abortion?  In 31 states, “homicide laws recognize unborn children as victims throughout the period of pre-natal development,” while eight states have partial “...homicide laws that recognize unborn children as victims, but only during part of the period of pre-natal development.” In New York, “the killing of an ‘unborn child’ after twenty-four weeks of pregnancy is homicide.” Only one state, Iowa, “...recognizes only a single victim in a violent act on an expectant mother.”

There seems to be ample evidence of massive fraud and waste associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
   FEMA’s Public Assistance Program was no exception to the rule.  During fiscal years 2020–2023, insufficient oversight of the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s COVID-19 emergency protective measures grants resulted in significant financial mismanagement, according to a January 30, 2025 Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General (DHS OIG) report.

Taxpayer-Subsidized College Tuition For Illegal Aliens... But Not For US Citizens  And did you know that there is a federal statute that prohibits states from offering in-state tuition to illegal aliens unless a state offers the same tuition break to students from other states? Didn’t think so.
   One of the flaws of that statute is that it didn’t provide for a private right of action for individuals or organizations to sue, and the U.S. Justice Department has never enforced it.

Under Biden, American Universities Raked In Nearly $1 Billion From Mystery Offshore Donors, Including Some Linked to China The news comes as the Trump administration prepares to crack down on foreign influence on college campuses, following years of Biden administration policies that have shielded the names of foreign university donors from the public.

Goodbye, Black History Month, Women’s History Month, and Pride Month. So long, Indigenous People Month, Jewish Heritage Month, and Hispanic Heritage Month.
   Well, you can still celebrate all of these things if you want to, but Google Calendar is no longer forcing them upon you if you don't. While some people are blaming Donald Trump — who else? — the tech giant said that it actually made the decision last year because trying to keep up with all of the cultural and historic events was just too much. So it's sticking to public and national holidays.

Dr. Steve Caudle of Greater Second Missionary Baptist Church in Chattanooga, Tenn., took to the pulpit to warn that violence could be necessary when responding to Elon Musk and the efforts of DOGE.

Canadian Minister Calls for Removal of ‘Savior’ from Core Christian Beliefs   The Rev. Brent Hawkes, a gay rights activist and Canadian clergyman at the Metropolitan Community Church (MCC) of Toronto, has argued for the removal of the word “Savior” to describe Jesus Christ because the word is a “stumbling block” for many.

We Have New Information on the Chinese Spy Balloon Fiasco    A recent investigation has revealed that the Chinese spy balloon that flew over the United States in February 2023 was equipped with technology sourced from at least five American companies. The spy balloon, which sparked significant national security concerns, was reportedly outfitted with surveillance gear that utilized components from U.S.-based manufacturers, raising questions about how Chinese entities are gaining access to advanced technologies.
