A terror plot was exposed that targeted the UFC Freedom 250 even to kill all the billionaires. We will talk about it since the mainstream media won’t.
A big company will discontinue using the Southern Poverty Law Center’s hate map when in comes to their charity program.
And Gavin Newsom is being investigated and he’s yelling at Trump. There’s just one problem.
Why Does This Keep Happening?
According to Fox News:
The FBI and its law enforcement partners disrupted an alleged plot targeting this weekend’s UFC Freedom 250 event in Washington, D.C., officials told Fox News Digital.
Five people were in custody as of Monday, and investigators identified 23 people as part of a potential network of plotters. The alleged plan involved using explosive-laden drones to hit buildings near the event, force a mass evacuation and steer crowds toward a pre-staged sniper team, officials said.
A “second wave” was then allegedly planned to storm the White House gate, according to officials.
The FBI first learned of the threat on June 10 and worked with partners to secure probable cause for an arrest in Cincinnati, where one suspect was taken into custody.
Later in the article:
Investigators later uncovered Signal chats in which multiple people allegedly discussed attacking the UFC event. An initial review of one suspect’s iPhone identified at least 23 Signal users discussing pre-operational activity, officials said.
Some of those involved allegedly planned to travel to Fredericksburg, Virginia, on June 12 or 13 to prepare for the attack.
One suspect allegedly told investigators the goal was to target “capitalist elites,” “billionaires” or politicians who received donations from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.
The investigation stretched across at least 12 FBI field offices.
DoorDash has officially ended a policy that automatically blocked certain nonprofits from its employee giving program after criticism from investors and advocacy groups.
According to a report by The Daily Signal, DoorDash has instructed its workplace giving platform, Deed, to stop using the Southern Poverty Law Center’s “hate map” as a default filter for charitable organizations participating in the program.
The change means employees will no longer be automatically prevented from donating to nonprofits that have been designated by the SPLC as hate groups through DoorDash’s charitable giving system.
The policy drew scrutiny from conservative organizations that argued the SPLC’s classifications have expanded beyond extremist groups like the KKK to include mainstream conservative and religious organizations such as Turning Point USA and PragerU. Critics claimed the practice limited employees’ charitable giving options.
The Department of Justice has launched multiple investigations related to California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom, including a probe dating back to the Biden administration, The Daily Wire has learned.
The revelation comes just hours after Newsom accused President Donald Trump of directing the DOJ to investigate him and his wife.
In a nearly five-minute video statement, Newsom said federal agents have knocked on the doors of his family, friends, and former employees.

In May, Newsom announced plans to make California the first state to provide “free diapers” to newborns leaving the hospital — funneling the money for the program through a nonprofit headed by a friend of California’s self-described “First Partner,” The Daily Wire previously reported.
Baby2Baby co-CEO Norah Weinstein sits on the board of Jennifer Siebel Newsom’s group “California Partners Project” — and it’s Baby2Baby that will take point on the $20 million diaper project, which is supposed to provide every family leaving the hospital with a newborn with 400 diapers.
Major League Baseball on Monday decried the use of personal writings on any team-issued Pride Night hats after members of the San Francisco Giants had Bible verses etched into their caps during Friday night’s game against the Chicago Cubs.
In a statement to multiple outlets, MLB chief communications officer Pat Courtney said, “The writing on the cap violates our rules, and consistent with normal practice, we have warned the players about future violations.”
San Francisco’s Landen Roupp, a 27-year-old right-hander from Rocky Mount, North Carolina, started and pitched 4⅔ innings with “Gen 9:12-16” on the front of his hat. Roupp spoke to reporters after the 5-1 loss about his decision, and he was adamant that “there’s no hate at all. It’s just what I stand for, and what I stand on: I believe in God.”
“The rainbow is a symbol of God’s covenant with us, and we as believers stand firm in that … There’s no hate at all,” he told reporters. “It’s just what I stand for and what I stand in, I believe in God.”
“And God said, ‘This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. When I bring clouds over the earth, and the bow is seen in the clouds, I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh. And the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.’” Genesis 9:12-16
Roupp brought up:
JT Brubaker, a 32-year-old righty from Springfield, Ohio, and Ryan Walker, a 30-year-old righty from Arlington, Washington, made relief appearances in the loss with Bible verses on their hats.
Also in the loss, reliever Sam Hentges, a 29-year-old lefty from Shoreview, Minnesota, took the mound without the Pride Night hat.
The Texas Rangers remain the only MLB club that does not stage an official Pride Night or Pride Month celebration, despite 29 other teams doing so.
Nick Ahmed (Giants shortstop in 2024) – Said he wrote a Bible verse on his Pride cap that year, framing it as an expression of his faith rather than a coordinated protest, but it’s now cited as part of the same pattern.

The California Post obtained copies of the videos after they were published Tuesday on the TikTok account LaneNeedsSpencerPratt.
The footage, recorded near 7th Street and Flower Street in downtown Los Angeles on Tuesday morning, has since been provided to the Department of Justice. It also follows The Post’s revelations that thousands of homeless voters were registered to shelters where they didn’t live.
One shelter in Venice, where 185 Raman voters were registered, received $600,000 from taxpayers care of the socialist Raman.
In one of the clips, a man who calls himself Kevin Shepherd, claimed he received $4 to vote for Bass.
It looks like Karen Bass was illegally elected by the homeless population of Skid Row in Los Angeles, CA.
Every single homeless person was paid to vote for a Democrat. They came up to 3x a week to pay for votes.
A Somali referee selected to officiate at the 2026 FIFA World Cup has been barred from entering the United States after federal authorities discovered information linking him to suspected members of terrorist organizations.
Omar Artan, Somalia’s only referee appointed to the tournament, was denied admission after arriving at Miami International Airport from Istanbul on Saturday. According to a Trump administration official who spoke to Fox News, Customs and Border Protection officers uncovered “derogatory” information during an inspection that rendered Artan inadmissible under federal immigration law.
In a statement provided to Fox News, the administration said, “This individual was seeking admission to the United States. Upon further inspection by CBP, derogatory information, including association with suspected members of terror organizations, was discovered making the traveler ineligible for admission to the United States under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). The traveler was refused admission and given immigration forms that provide the section of law used to complete an expedited removal under 8235 of the INA. President Trump’s administration will not allow any security threat to enter our country – full stop.”
The decision effectively ends Artan’s participation in the World Cup, which is being hosted in part by the United States. FIFA confirmed Monday that Artan would no longer take part in referee training or officiate matches during the tournament. The organization said it had been informed by US authorities that his immigration status would not be changed.
DeCarlos Brown Jr, the man who was charged with stabbing Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska to death on the Charlotte light rail, has been found incompetent to stand trial, according to federal prosecutors.
Brown, 34, appeared in federal court on Tuesday morning, where federal Judge Kenneth Bell found ruled that Brown did not understand the proceedings, and could not stand trial. During the hearing, Brown shouted about having “material in his body” and said that he was having a “body emergency” during the brief hearing at the courthouse, per Queens City News.
The judge, as the ruling came down, said, “[I] hope that what happens here will be accurately recorded by professional press and social media.” Brown was evaluated at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Chicago through the Bureau of Prison.
After shouting during the hearing, he was escorted out of the room. He shouted more at the judge and asked if the judge had gotten a letter from his mother. The killer will now get medication as well as treatment in an effort to restore his competency for up to four months.
If Brown is not found to be competent at that point, he may be held in federal custody under federal commitment laws. Another hearing may determine is he has to be forcibly medicated. The prosecutors in the case did not present any evidence in the 15-minutes hearing on Tuesday.
“The court found that his prognosis is ‘good’ to be made competent and set a four-month deadline to have that process go forward,” US Attorney for the Western District of North Carolina Russ Ferguson said. “The court ordered that he seek treatment and medication.”

A top Trump agency is cutting off funding to the Los Angeles agency responsible for coordinating billions in homelessness spending after accusing it of “obvious fraud,” “wanton mismanagement” and repeated failures to safeguard taxpayer dollars, Fox News Digital has learned.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), which is a member of the White House fraud task force led by Vice President JD Vance, is immediately suspending the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority’s (LAHSA) federal funding while HUD’s inspector general investigates potential offenses by the agency and its leadership, according to a letter sent to LAHSA’s board chair Wendy Greuel and its CEO Gita O’Neill, which was obtained and reviewed by Fox News Digital.
The letter detailed conflicts of interest, financial mismanagement, fraud, lack of oversight, and more from the homelessness agency, which has faced efforts by the city and county to take it over.
The move puts one of the country’s biggest homelessness bureaucracies under direct federal scrutiny after years of criticism that billions have gone into homelessness programs in Los Angeles while the crisis remains entrenched on the streets. LAHSA receives funding at the city, county, state and federal level, with the group getting nearly $1 billion from just the federal government since 2021, according to HUD.
Donald Trump finally has had enough with Iran. It’s about bloody time!
And let’s go over the House Judiciary Committees hearing over the accusations against the Southern Poverty Law Center. It was great.
Well, It’s About Time
U.S. forces carried out a new round of airstrikes on Iranian targets along the country’s southern coast and near the Strait of Hormuz late Tuesday/early Wednesday, framed by Washington as “retaliatory” and “self‑defense” strikes after Iran shot down a U.S. military helicopter earlier this week.
What actually happened
U.S. Central Command says American aircraft and missiles struck multiple Iranian military targets, including radar and air‑defense installations and other coastal sites that Washington argues were being used to threaten U.S. forces and shipping near the Strait of Hormuz.
The latest wave of strikes began around 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday, following the downing of a U.S. Apache helicopter over or near the Strait; both crew members were recovered alive by a U.S. sea drone according to U.S. officials.
U.S. officials describe the operation as a “measured retaliation” intended to deter further Iranian attacks while avoiding a full‑scale regional war, emphasizing that the targets were strictly military.
Despite the fighting, the U.S. has both resumed getting oil through the Strait of Hormuz and even conducted at least one covert shipment in recent days.[reuters]
Current U.S. flows through the Strait
The U.S. Energy Secretary said on June 9 that ship traffic and oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz and the wider Gulf are “rising very meaningfully” compared with the previous weeks when the corridor was more heavily disrupted by the conflict.[reuters]
The U.S. Energy Information Administration estimates that in 2024 the United States imported about 0.5 million barrels per day of crude oil and condensate from Persian Gulf countries via the Strait, a relatively small share of total U.S. supply but still significant.[eia]
Covert U.S. shipment Trump referenced
On June 10, President Trump told reporters that the U.S. had “secretly moved millions of barrels of oil” through the Strait of Hormuz, implying at least one protected or clandestine shipment during the current crisis.[cnbc]
Financial and energy media framed this as part of broader U.S. efforts to demonstrate that it can keep at least some flows moving even while bombing Iranian targets and escorting tankers.[cnbc]
How important the Strait is overall
Roughly 20–25% of the world’s seaborne oil trade—on the order of 20 million barrels per day—normally passes through the Strait of Hormuz, making it the single most critical oil chokepoint globally.[britannica]
Asia (China, India, South Korea, Japan and others) takes close to 90% of the crude moving through the Strait, while the U.S. directly receives only a small fraction (around 2–3% of those flows), which is why the U.S. is affected more through global price impacts than through physical shortages.[energynow]

And the Left is doing all it can to ruin the country’s 250th anniversary.
Things Are Getting Better
Segment 1 – The “strong” jobs report that doesn’t fix your grocery bill (2:00–12:00)
Summarize The Post Millennial story on 172,000 jobs added in May, beating expectations, and unemployment at around the mid‑4% range.
Contrast headline numbers with lived reality: persistent inflation, gas, groceries, and housing strain, and how administration allies will spin the report versus skeptical economists.
Angle: “Bidenomics vs Trump era vs now” in terms of labor participation, real wages, and underemployment, and how media cherry‑pick whichever datapoint serves their narrative.
Listener takeaway: encourage people to look at real wages and participation, not just “jobs added this month.”
Walk through the report that California allows voter registration using non‑photo IDs like gym cards, insurance cards, or employer IDs, which do not verify identity or citizenship.
Explain, in plain language, what is and is not being checked: residency vs citizenship vs simple possession of a card; how this interacts with motor voter and same‑day registration.
Contrast with stricter models (photo ID, proof‑of‑citizenship) that advocates in other states push, using something like the SAVE America Act conceptually for comparison.
Angle: federal vs state control of election standards; how loose documentation regimes in a deep‑blue state affect national politics through House seats and electoral votes.

Segment 3 – Lawsuit to stop the UFC “Freedom 250” on the White House lawn (24:00–36:00)
Summarize ESPN’s reporting: a federal lawsuit by a veteran and a civic activist seeks an injunction against the UFC card on the South Lawn, timed to Trump’s 80th birthday.
Outline the claimed legal issues: use of federal parkland for a private sporting event, alleged failure to get proper congressional authorization for construction on the lawn, and NEPA/environmental‑review claims.
Political angle:
Is this genuine concern about precedent for private commercialization of the presidency and public property?
Or lawfare and bureaucratic resistance against Trump’s attempt to merge populist spectacle with presidential power?
You can riff on sports‑washing vs populist entertainment: compare to Obama’s celebrity concerts or Biden events vs a UFC card at the White House.
Key Facts
The lawsuit was filed by the Public Integrity Project in federal court in Washington, D.C., seeking to halt the June 14 UFC card and related events, including a weigh‑in at the Lincoln Memorial.
Plaintiffs argue the Department of the Interior and National Park Service violated their own regulations by allowing a private sporting event on public property and by permitting construction of the UFC’s “claw” stadium structure on the South Lawn without the congressional authorization required for building on federal parkland.
The suit also claims the government failed to conduct an environmental review for a “major federal action” affecting the South Lawn, and that the temporary America‑250 rule for semiquincentennial events does not apply because the card is really a celebration of the UFC and President Trump’s 80th birthday, not Independence Day.
Brendan Ballou, lead attorney for the group, calls the event a “profound misuse” of national monuments for private gain and says they want to stop the fight, the weigh‑in, and the permanent installation of the claw structure, framing it as an anti‑corruption action rather than an attack on MMA.
A statement from the Trump administration and event defenders calls the case an “obstructionist, baseless, and dilatory lawsuit” meant to block what they describe as a historic sporting event that is comparable to other White House and National Mall events permitted under existing rules.
Segment 4 – HelloFresh Pride ad backlash and corporate virtue‑signaling (36:00–48:00)
Summarize the Daily Wire coverage: a HelloFresh Pride Month ad that conservatives found “repulsive” and “sickening,” sparking calls to cancel and boycott.
Describe the ad’s general theme (without replaying it verbatim) and why critics say it targets kids, sexualizes identity, or crosses a line from inclusion to ideological promotion.
Place it in the trend of corporate Pride marketing, Bud Light, Target, and the question: are these campaigns driven by sincere belief, ESG/HR pressure, or fear of activist backlash?
Note the asymmetry: corporations often calculate that upsetting conservatives costs less than upsetting activist employees, media, or key coastal markets.

Trump identified the terrorist as Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, whom he described as ISIS’s second-in-command globally.
Trump also thanked the Nigerian government for its cooperation in the mission.
Upon request of the Virginia governor, Abigail Spanberger, the Supreme Court refused to block the Virginia’s Supreme Court decision to block Virginia’s redistricting efforts.
The Virginia Supreme Court disallowed the redistricting by a 4-3 decision.
They said the process per the Virginia constitution was not followed, there was no review period, early voting had already started, and the language of the proposal on the ballot was unclear (misleading).
Edwin Díaz, the $69 million closer for the Los Angeles Dodgers, has been linked to an alleged illegal cockfighting operation in his native Puerto Rico, according to a report by USA Today.
The controversy deepened after a March interview with Puerto Rican newspaper El Nuevo Día resurfaced in which Díaz openly discussed his family’s participation in cockfighting events.
According to the outlet, Díaz said his family entered four roosters into a recent tournament and described cockfighting as a hobby he had followed since childhood.
Democrat Rep. Steve Cohen of Tennessee has announced that he will be dropping his reelection bid after representing the state’s 9th Congressional District for over 19 years.

That, of course, isn’t the whole story. Not even close.
Decker essentially rage-quit during the race, suffering one of the most stunning in-car meltdowns I have ever heard. And folks, I’ve heard A LOT over the radio in all my years covering NASCAR. Frankly, until yesterday, I thought I’d heard it all.

The new offer says nothing of giving over their nuclear material.
Trump has said that time is running out for Iran.
Eileen Wang, former mayor of Arcadia, California, has been charged with acting as an illegal agent of the People’s Republic of China and has agreed to plead guilty to the felony offense, the Justice Department announced. She now faces up to 10 years in federal prison along with a potential $250,000 fine, though any sentence would be determined by a federal judge.
Federal prosecutors say Wang admitted she acted “at the direction and control” of Chinese government officials from at least 2020 through 2022, coordinating with individuals in the U.S. to spread pro-Beijing messaging, all without notifying the U.S. Attorney General as required by law.
The conduct described by prosecutors occurred before Wang took office on the Arcadia City Council in December 2022.
Arcadia city officials said the case is tied to Wang’s individual conduct and does not impact city operations.
The Supreme Court of Virginia struck down Democrats’ efforts to redraw the state’s congressional map in a move intended to give the Democrats four more seats in Congress and now the party is desperate to overturn the decision in any way possible. This includes attempts to oust the entire bench of the state’s highest court.
Over the weekend, a private discussion was held between Virginia state legislators and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries to address the issue before them. They were determined, reports The New York Times, to get a new congressional district map in Virginia to gain more Democrat seats. Prior to the new map, the breakdown was 6 Demcorat seats to 5 Republican seats. The new map would likely be 10 to 1.
One key part of the plan was to lower the mandatory retirement age for the Virginia Supreme Court justices from 75 to 54, which is the age of the youngest justice on the court.

According to the Post Millennial:
Left-wing congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has claimed that the American Revolution was actually a fight against the wealthy class at the time, because of issues such as taxation without representation. This comes on the heels of the politician claiming that nobody can earn a billion dollars.
Speaking on how she was slammed for her comments on billionaires to a group at UChicago, “They like to talk about American ethos as though it’s an attack on American values, an attack on our idea of success. And first of all, I mean, call me crazy, but I don’t think that every single American aspires to be a billionaire. I think that the our idea of success, they might not object, but I don’t think it’s the universal American ideal.”

According to Fox News:
Seattle’s socialist mayor Katie Wilson is facing fierce blowback on social media after a 77-year-old man was seen on video being beaten by two individuals in a crime that was captured by closed-circuit television cameras, a tool that Wilson has denounced in the past as something that makes the community feel unsafe and “vulnerable.”
The elderly man was walking down the street in downtown Seattle last month when two men walking by him stopped, without any provocation, shoved him to the ground and beat him, KOMO News reported.
Ahmed Abdullahi Osman, 29, was later arrested and charged with second-degree assault, and police are looking for the second suspect. Osman was reportedly booked into jail the night of the assault and then released back onto the streets before a bail hearing.
Ahmed Abdullah Osman beat a 77-year-old in Seattle. Police ID'd him thanks to street video cameras.
You know, Trump is not going to be in office for long.
Do you remember when the Left demanded that police all have body cams?
Now we actually see what the police have to go through on a daily basis?
Now there’s outrage because a police shooting will have body cam footage released immediately and we know the shooting was justified.
Now, cameras are racist.
I also want to ask, why are cameras racist? Why do they alienate the immigrants? Could it be because they capture the crimes of minorities and immigrants and maybe not all bad things happen because of white people?
The stats don’t lie, folks. Immigrants and minorities commit most of the crimes in the United States. We are seeing it right now.
The bill, which passed the California Assembly on Monday and sits at the state Senate, lets the Inspector General do so if publication “would pose a substantial and articulable risk to the project or to state operations if publicly disclosed.”
The role of the Inspector General has gained even more prominence in light of new estimates that the total cost of the train has ballooned to $231 billion. The fantasy project, which broke ground in 2015, is far from finished.
Letting the Inspector General hide details, critics say, is the wrong move.
Insight is needed now more than ever after analysts raised red flags with the High-Speed Rail Authority’s new business plan. A state analysts’ report warned of “several issues”, such as uncertain funding assumptions and shifting the project’s scope in violation of current state law.
If details are determined confidential, the bill would have the auditor only deliver the report to state officials overseeing the project.
The bill’s author, Assemblymember Lori Wilson (D), dismissed the criticism and said the bill actually improves transparency.
“Concerns were initially raised that this bill would keep information confidential. In fact, this bill does the exact opposite by requiring the inspector general to make its reports public, which is not required under current law,” she said Monday on the Assembly floor.
A federal judge appointed by former President Joe Biden cut an illegal immigrant murder suspect loose, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Bryan Rafael Gomez is wanted in his home country of the Dominican Republic for murder, DHS said Thursday. Despite having an active warrant, U.S. District Court Judge Melissa R. DuBose ordered Gomez’s release from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention on Tuesday.
Gomez crossed the border illegally near Lukeville, Arizona, in 2022, DHS said. Border Patrol agents apprehended him at the time and subsequently released him into the country.
The Coordination of the Courts of Instruction of the National District of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, issued a criminal arrest warrant for Gomez for homicide on Jan. 24, 2023, according to DHS.
Officers with the Worcester Police Department arrested Gomez on April 4, 2026, for assault and battery, according to DHS. Local authorities honored an ICE detainer, handing Gomez over to federal immigration agents after he was released on $500 bail.
Gomez had filed a habeas petition, which is a legal challenge to his detention, and DuBose allowed for his release on “minimal release conditions,” according to Fox News.
The Department of Justice announced on Friday that it has readopted firing squads as a means to carry out federal death sentences. The DOJ said that the move was part of an effort to “restore its solemn duty to seek, obtain, and implement lawful capital sentences.”
A press release from the department stated, “Among the actions taken are readopting the lethal injection protocol utilized during the first Trump Administration, expanding the protocol to include additional manners of execution such as the firing squad, and streamlining internal processes to expedite death penalty cases. These steps are critical to deterring the most barbaric crimes, delivering justice for victims, and providing long-overdue closure to surviving loved ones.”
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a statement, “The prior administration failed in its duty to protect the American people by refusing to pursue and carry out the ultimate punishment against the most dangerous criminals, including terrorists, child murderers, and cop killers. Under President Trump’s leadership, the Department of Justice is once again enforcing the law and standing with victims.”
The announcement came alongside the release of a report titled “Restoring and Strengthening the Federal Death Penalty.” In the report, Blanche said that “despite federal prosecutors consistently seeking and defending capital sentences under the leadership of both political parties, the Department had not prioritized implementing them.”
The report stated that under the Biden administration, then Attorney General Merrick Garland “imposed a moratorium on federal executions, directed prosecutors not to seek death sentences, and dismantled the federal government’s capital punishment apparatus. He also recommended that President Biden commute the lawful death sentences of thirty-seven convicted murderers, and he did so without fully considering the views of the victims’ families, the communities that endured these crimes, or the prosecutors who tried these cases. These actions inflicted untold damage on countless lives and, ultimately, on the public’s confidence in the rule of law itself.”

Here is some news:
Pope Leo clarified his statements about war (not THE war).
On Saturday, April 18, 2026, Trump signed an executive order directing the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to speed up research, regulatory review, and access pathways for novel treatments for serious mental illness, including psychedelic‑based therapies such as ibogaine and similar compounds.
The order’s stated intent is to tackle high suicide rates, particularly among veterans, by removing or easing certain legal and regulatory barriers that currently make it difficult for U.S. researchers and clinicians to study and offer these treatments within controlled medical frameworks.
The U.S. Navy fired on the Iran-flagged M/V Touska tanker in the Arabian Sea on Sunday, disabling its engines and later seizing the vessel.
Tehran officials condemned the seizure as “armed piracy” and vowed retaliation.
Peace talks with Iran were expected to begin in Pakistan on Tuesday, but recent reports from Iranian state media have thrown the meetings into doubt.
The command of Iran’s military, Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, offered an explanation for why Iranian forces did not fight back: “Due to the presence of some family members of the ship’s crew, they faced constraints in order to protect their lives and ensure their safety, as they were in danger at every moment.”
A Louisiana man who murdered eight children, seven of them his own and one a cousin of the children, had two prior convictions. One of convictions was due to his commission of a previous shooting near a school. The children were all under 11 years old.
The 31-year-old posted a picture of himself with one of his daughters just hours before killing the children execution style. He killed most of them in their beds and one as he tried to escape.
The victims’ ages ranged from 3 to 11.
He also shot his wife in the face, mother of four of his children, as well as the mother of his three other children.
Disney World just took a giant step away from wokeness with a small change in its parks that has the normies cheering.
According to park visitors, the automated announcements are once again using the phrase “Ladies and Gentlemen.” This is a change from the parks originally pivoting to use more “inclusive” language on their properties.
The revelation about Disney’s foray into progressivism came in 2022 when journalist Chris Rufo released video recordings from employee all-hands meetings at the company. One of the clips showed Vivian Ware, who was at the time serving as Disney’s diversity and inclusion manager, explaining how Disney altered gendered greetings and language in its theme parks for live spiels and other aspects of the park in 2021.
“We trained, we provided training for all of our cast members in relationship to that. So now they know it’s ‘Hello, everyone,’ or ‘Hello, friends,’” Ware explained.
“We don’t want to just assume because someone might be, in our interpretation, may be presenting as female, that they may not want to be called ‘princess,’” she went on. “So let’s think differently about how do we really engage with our guests in a meaningful and inclusive way that makes it magical and memorable for everyone.”
Legal advisers have been telling migrants from Muslim countries to pose as gay to be granted asylum in Britain, with some lawyers going as far as coaching migrants on how to fabricate photos and come up with their own back stories, the BBC reported on Wednesday.
The BBC’s undercover investigation revealed how legal advisers are raking in cash by helping migrants from Pakistan and Bangladesh apply for asylum by claiming to be gay, which would put them at risk of persecution in their home countries.
One BBC reporter went undercover to a meeting organized by a group that claims to support gay and lesbian asylum seekers. Around 175 people attended the meeting put on by Worcester LGBT, but it appeared that none of them actually identified as lesbian or gay.
“Most of the people here are not gays,” one man said, according to the BBC.
Another man replied, “Nobody is a gay here. Not even 1% are gay. Not even 0.01% are gay.”
The BBC reporter posed as a migrant seeking asylum and met multiple times with an adviser for Worcester LGBT named Tanisa. For their first meeting, the reporter met with Tanisa at her house and was invited to her bedroom to chat. Tanisa sat on her bed as she told the undercover journalist that he should apply for asylum as a gay man, but the reporter quickly informed Tanisa that he wasn’t gay.
Rep. Ilhan Omar has denied being a millionaire and has now claimed that her net worth is actually under $100,000 in a new disclosure filing. This comes after a filing of up to $30 millon net worth was revised down to a significantly smaller amount.
Omar has blamed an accounting error for her disclosure last year that said she and her husband held assets between $6 million and $30 million. The Wall Street Journal reported that in an amended filing, Omar and her husband’s assets are supposedly $18,004 and $95,000,
“The amended disclosure confirms what we’ve said all along: The congresswoman is not a millionaire,” Omar spokesperson Jacklyn Rogers told the reporters, adding that the filing was corrected “as soon as the discrepancy was identified.”
The amended filing followed a request for more information from the Office of Congressional Conduct this year.
Omar’s lawyer claimed that the filing was inaccurate and that it was the fault of an accountant.
“As the busiest of people, it is very common for members and their spouses to rely on learned professionals like accountants to make calculations and determinations that appear on public filings,” the attorney said. “While the error is of course unfortunate, there is nothing untoward and nothing illegal has occurred.”

President Donald Trump has given Iran until 8 p.m. ET to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face strikes against its power plants and bridges on Tuesday.

Rep. John Larson, D-Conn., is mounting a long-shot bid to impeach President Donald Trump as he stares down a primary threat from younger challengers, who seek to thwart his bid for a 15th House term.
Larson, 77, introduced 13 articles of impeachment against Trump on Monday, citing the president’s military intervention in Venezuela, the deployment of National Guard troops to cities across the country and his executive order to curtail birthright citizenship, among other charges.
Larson also charged Trump with “murder, war crimes and piracy” for ordering a naval blockade around Venezuela targeting U.S.-sanctioned oil tankers ahead of the U.S. capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in January and for launching dozens of strikes against alleged drug trafficking vessels in the Eastern Pacific and the Caribbean.
Researchers found that California’s minimum wage hike for fast-food workers led to “negative outcomes” such as automation and reduced work hours.
The researchers at the University of California, Santa Cruz suggested in a report published in March that the policy could produce unintended consequences such as an increase in menu prices, a loss of overtime and benefits, reductions in employee working hours, and an implementation of automation that replaces workers.
Artemis II’s four astronauts zoomed past Apollo 13’s 248,655-mile mark around 1:56 p.m. ET, reaching 248,656 miles as their aircraft hurtled past the moon at nearly 2,000 mph.
Then hours later, shortly after 7 p.m.., the crew set a new record for the farthest distance humans have traveled from Earth, at a staggering 252,756 miles. The astronauts then beginning their long journey back to Earth .
The distance record was set just minutes after the capsule made its closest approach to the moon around 4,067 miles in altitude.
It also came in the thick of Artemis II’s communications blackout, which was expected to last about 40 minutes while the moon blocked any signals between Orion and the Earth.
Communications resumed around 7:25 p.m.

Believe it or not, California is still thinking of building this high speed rail system. They’ve already blown $34 billion for:
Roughly 0 miles of the California high‑speed rail system are actually in service; what exists today is partially built civil works on the initial Central Valley segment, not an operating line.
What’s physically built so far
Construction is active along a 119‑mile Central Valley “spine” from around Madera through Fresno and Kings/Tulare toward Kern County, but this is mainly earthwork, bridges, viaducts, and graded guideway, not finished track.
As of early 2026, about 70–80 miles of guideway (the prepared railbed/structure) are complete, and roughly 55–60 major structures (bridges, overpasses, viaducts) are finished, with a few dozen more under construction.
No true high‑speed rail track is in service yet; the Authority is only now moving into contracts to lay track and install systems on that 119‑mile spine, with track installation expected to begin in 2026.
BREAKING: California doesn't have enough money to finish building a high speed rail system to connect San Francisco and Los Angeles and now they want $125 BILLION MORE!
"The entire amount of money we need is not there…"
Worker advocates in Oakland are pressing for a $30 minimum wage, mirroring a similar goal from socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani from across the country.
A worker’s organization, One Fair Wage, is hoping to put forward a ballot initiative to raise the minimum wage in the area. The organization believes the wage increase will help workers with the expensive cost of living in the Bay Area, especially with the affordability crisis.
Essentially, the city wants to raise the minimum wage so they can take more money in taxes. Of course, as usual, this assumes everyone working now will be working when the minimum wage goes up, which they surely won’t. It’s basically a big redistribution program.
By the way, this is why they keep raising the minimum wage. It gets a lot of votes and is easy to do. It is economic suicide, but everyone loves it. Except people that do all the signing of paychecks.
“Every time there has been a downturn or a serious challenge to the economy, in the end, we raise wages as a stimulus,” Saru Jayaraman, the president of One Fair Wage, told Center Square.
“It’s basically a stimulus in the hands of working people, who spend a much bigger percentage of their income than higher-income people because they have to. It’s survival,” she added.
One Fair Wage says the proposed ballot initiative would gradually institute the $30 minimum wage within the city and Alameda County until reaching the proposed amount in 2030. Oakland’s current minimum wage is $17.34 an hour, and California’s minimum wage sits at $16.90 an hour.
A $30 minimum wage would be the highest in the country. New York City legislators introduced a bill last month to also introduce a $30 minimum wage.
Police “reforms” in Boston replaced cops with mental health clinicians and social workers, and on Saturday one of those clinicians was attacked by a delusional man wielding a sword. The suspect, who has not been publicly identified, attacked the clinician as well as police officers with the sword. Cops responded by shooting and killing the suspect.
The incident took place near the Northeastern University campus on Saturday morning in Boston. Officers were responding to a 911 call about four people armed with guns and the caller was in the apartment building. After officers arrived at 212 Hemenway Street and located the disturbance they called in a mental health professional with the Boston’s BEST program, according to Mass Daily News.
The program, in which mental health professionals ride along with cops to de-escalate tense situations, has been running since 2011. The EMS clinician deployed to the scene spoke to the man for 45 minutes through the door before the suspect pushed open the door and attacked.
“He immediately opened the door and struck the clinician and an officer who was outside the door. He was armed with some type of sword, stabbing the officer in the arm and knocking the EMS clinician to the ground,” Boston Police Commissioner Michael Cox said. “One or more officers, which is under investigation at this time, fired a taser and weapon at the individual, bringing the person to a halt.”
The suspect as well as the officers and clinician that were attacked by the suspect were taken to the hospital. The suspect was later pronounced dead. “This was a very chaotic circumstance. The individual was clearly in some sort of mental distress,” Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden said.
Boston EMS said in a statement that their employee had gotten injured in the altercation.
“Our focus tonight remains on the two members of Boston EMS, including one of our BEST clinicians, who were treated and transported to the hospital after the incident on Hemenway Street in Boston. Both suffered non-life-threatening injuries,” the statement read.
“Today serves as a reminder of the dangers inherent in this work and the sacrifice our members make every day. Members of Boston EMS show up to save lives — not to be assaulted. No one should face violence for simply doing their job. Our thoughts are with our injured members, the Boston Police officers, and everyone affected by today’s incident.”
The concept is simple: Store your silenced cell phone in a “chicken coop” while you enjoy your Chick-fil-A meal in-store and get a free “Icedream” cone as your reward for staying present with your chicken sandwich and your fellow guests. Open to groups and solo acts, the initiative got its start at a Chick-fil-A in the Atlanta area back in 2016. It hasn’t gotten the nationwide rollout treatment, but it pops up around the country every so often at the whim of individual franchisees. This month, the hype went global after Complex posted Chick-fil-A phone challenge signage on X.
Commenters quickly responded with enthusiasm for the stroke of marketing genius behind quality family time and an immersive tech cleansing. But others called out the “sad” state of affairs with someone adding, “Society has hit a low point holy sh*t.” One hater posted, “I’m trying to enjoy my chicken, not talk to my d*mn family.” Another person bet that this particular Maryland-based Chick-fil-A would be giving out zero ice cream cones since no one can stay off their phones these days.
Well, random X user, I brought receipts proving that at least five people have successfully completed the task and cashed in on those cones: my two parents and the three teenagers they paid to participate in the same challenge at another table. Having known my mom and dad my whole life, this all checks out.
My parents FaceTimed me the minute they returned from their mission, sharing boots-on-the-ground perspective on the promo everyone else in America wishes their local Chick-fil-A was running. They were already fans of Chick-fil-A, as well as the Towson Place location’s spacious dining area and flawless customer service. “I love ‘It’s my pleasure,’” my mom said.
I confessed to stopping by Chick-fil-A when I lived in Los Angeles purely because, unlike people in the rest of the city, the chain’s friendly employees seemed to enjoy serving customers. But back to the challenge at hand.
“We were expecting a chicken coop,” my mom said. There are many representations of the “coop” from the Chick-fil-A phone challenge on social media (one claims to be made of wood), but the Towson Place version involves a plain white cardboard box meant to secure your phone. (Apparently, it could have used some fun chicken-related decoration, according to “reviews.”)
Still, my parents persisted, roping in a trio of local teens into the mix, who my mom says “were like … ‘o-kay?’” about the idea. The boys had completed the challenge before and were happy to walk these nice elderly people through the process, accepting $2 each in cash. My parents value the quality time of other people’s grandchildren. And still carry cash.
They placed their order at the counter, sat down at the table with their drinks, and stowed their phones in the “coop” once their food arrived.
“Wait. So do you normally use your phone during dinner?” I asked, having no idea what my parents do in their free time.
“No, but I usually have it at the ready,” my mom said, like most of us. (How else are we gonna pick it up 186 times a day?) But when she admitted, “I checked my purse for my phone 10 times while my phone was still in the ‘coop,’” my eyeballs ejected from my face. Full disclosure, I did ask her to document as much pre- and post-coop action as possible. But I was shocked. The challenge, which is so obviously aimed at kids, even had my mom feeling the benefits from sealing her phone in a cardboard box.
“I’ve watched many families come in with young kids, and they do it,” said Natalie Martz, owner of the Towson Place Chick-fil-A. “I’ve seen adults come in with adult children and do it.”
Maybe the Chick-fil-A challenge is just a wholesome excuse to encourage customers to “eat mor chikin” and make it an occasion by purchasing meals for the whole family. But breaking bread sans phones might lead to small, surprising joys beyond chicken nuggets — no matter your age.
“I haven’t had a cone in years,” my mom recalled. “It was nostalgic. It brought back good memories for me.” Chick-fil-A happens to be celebrating its 80th anniversary this year with a “Newstalgia” marketing blitz that features retro packaging on drinks and sandwiches along with all-new plushie cows.
“The cone was really good,” my dad reported. That comment on the actual cone part of the old-school vanilla soft-serve dessert is notably high praise from a non-foodie. It warmed my heart hearing that they had fun with the assignment.
As one fan summed it up on Instagram, “A free ice cream for being present with your people? That’s a deal worth taking.” Try the challenge for yourself at a participating Chick-fil-A or politely ask your local shop to get in on the action. I’m sure it would be their pleasure.
The Left always eats its own. Celebrations over the Union darling, Cesar Chavez are being cancelled. Let’s talk about it.
The ladies of the WNBA are getting raises. Let’s see how that works out.
And the SAVE Act is being voted on again. Republicans are saying it is common sense legislation. Democrats say it is “Jim Crow 2.0”. Which is it? Let’s go through the bill.
News
Here is some news:
Senate Republicans on Tuesday successfully launched their floor takeover to put Senate Democrats on record against Trump-backed voter ID legislation.
Still, opening up what will be a multi-day marathon debate on the bill wasn’t without its hiccups. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, joined all Senate Democrats to block the legislation. Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., who threatened to do everything he could to block the bill, did not vote.
Celebrations for what would have been civil rights activist Cesar Chavez‘s 99th birthday are being canceled ahead of what’s being described as “deeply troubling allegations” against the historic figure.
As cancellations grew, the United Farm Workers (UFW), an organization co-founded by Chavez, released a statement on Tuesday confirming allegations were being made, including ones involving abuse of young women or minors. In response, the UFW announced it would no longer take part in any Cesar Chavez Day activities.
It is unclear at this time what the source of the allegations are and the details surrounding them.
Chavez has been a longtime-celebrated figure in the Democratic Party as a model for labor rights. However, Chavez has also reportedly spoken out against illegal immigration, calling illegal aliens a threat to union workers.
The WNBA and its players union reached a deal in principle on a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA), keeping the league on track to tip off on May 8.
Did you know the season starts on May 8th? I didn’t either. That’s because no one cares.
The deal is expected to reflect the rapid growth over the last two seasons. The league exploded in popularity with the emergence of Caitlin Clark in 2024, along with some of the other members of her rookie class.
Players’ salaries are also expected to increase fourfold from last season. The average salary in the WNBA is $102K a year. That will pop the total to $400,000 per year.
Venezuela defeated the United States at the World Baseball Classic to win their first championship.
Trump posted on Truth Social: “STATEHOOD, #51, ANYONE?”
These two guys are idiots and if they can’t get a birth certificate or passport (which they are lying, they have both) they shouldn’t be in power.
These two can also make it easier to get all three by changing the laws, but they don’t.
Some things about the SAVE Act:
The SAVE Act is simple. It is only 24 pages long.
You are required to register to vote with either a federal ID (a REAL ID or passport) or birth certificate.
It is really easy and cheap to get all three!!
A REAL ID costs the same as a state ID, about $45.
A passport card costs about $30.
A birth certificate costs about $25.
State IDs can be used if they give the date and location of birth. Most states don’t do this.
Now, I’ll be a jerk. If one is too stupid to be able to get one of these forms of identification, they are to stupid to be voting.
The other thing the bill requires is that voter rolls be purged of immigrants (illegal and legal) and dead people.
In states like California, immigrants (legal or illegal) are “accidently” registered to vote when they get an ID or driver’s license.
Some states allow immigrants to vote in local or state elections (which we should ban). They automatically get registered in federal elections.
Dead people end up voting in election fraudulently.
I think voter rolls should be purged after every presidential election and you should have to register every four years.
Finally, is any of this convenient? Absolutely not. It shouldn’t be. It should take some effort to vote. We should also ban mail in voting, early voting, and voting machines. You should have to wait in line on election day and vote on paper. Like we did before the pandemic.
For 244 years, we have voted in person, on paper, on one day every two years on the first Tuesday of November and always had the results on election night. The more technology we’ve thrown into the process and the more options for convenience we’ve thrown out have made our elections less efficient and less trustworthy. We never had these discussions in any elections outside of the 2000 election.
