President Trump is in China today and there are a lot of questions. Let’s talk about it.
The South Carolina Supreme Court overturned the conviction of a convicted murderer.
And The LGBTQ+ cult continues with their fight to normalize perversion and they are finding the useful idiots that will still bend the knees.
News
Here is some news:
- President Donald Trump’s Air Force One delegation has touched down around 7:51 a.m. ET in Beijing.
- Administration officials are under “digital lockdown” with their tech and cell phones to avoid Chinese forced technology transfer spying.
- Trump confirms Nvidia’s Jensen Huang has seat on Air Force One, refuting a report to the contrary. The chipmaker is the most valuable company in the world at $5.3 trillion.
- Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., is hosting a COVID whistleblower hearing as Trump makes first post-COVID trip to China.
- China could face additional U.S. tariffs if President Donald Trump’s two-day summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping does not produce results, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer warned Wednesday.
- “If I were President Xi, I would worry if this is an unsuccessful summit after two days that China could be faced with even more tariffs from the United States,” Comer told Fox Business’ “Mornings With Maria.”
- President Donald Trump could give Beijing major concessions to Xi Jinping during his visit to China, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., warned Wednesday.
- “We all ought to fear what Donald Trump may concede to China, just so he can claim a headline,” Schumer said Wednesday on the Senate floor.
- A naturalized U.S. citizen from Iran entered a guilty plea in federal court earlier today, admitting to running a sophisticated human smuggling operation that compromised national security and possessing graphic child sexual abuse material (CSAM).
- As the Department of Justice reported, Sharon Gohari, who split his time between Roslyn, New York, and Iran, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Ann M. Donnelly to charges of unlawfully smuggling aliens into the United States and the intentional receipt of CSAM.
- The South Carolina Supreme Court on Wednesday overturned the murder conviction of Alex Murdaugh, who was convicted in March 2023 of double homicide of his wife and son.
- The court ordered a new trial, saying that Mary Rebecca “Becky” Hill, who served as the court clerk in Colleton County, exercised “improper external influences” during Murdaugh’s first trial.
- A post-trial court found that Hill “made improper comments to the jurors on the day Murdaugh testified, e.g., ‘this is an important day’ or ‘this is an epic day’ and that they should watch Murdaugh’s body language, on the day he testified in his own defense.
- One juror recalled “that Hill told the jurors not to be fooled by the evidence Murdaugh’s defense presented,” according to the document, saying “They’re going to say things that will try to confuse you. Don’t let them confuse you or convince you or throw you off.”
- The documents say Hill tried to “insert herself into the jury’s deliberations through these comments was in line with her stated desire for a guilty verdict to sell more copies of the book she planned to write.”
- Judy Walcott, a longtime member of a Planet Fitness location in Concord, New Hampshire, told Fox News Digital she felt unsafe after encountering someone she believed was male in the women’s locker room near the shower area on April 11.
- Walcott said she reported the incident to a young employee at the front desk, who told her there was nothing staff could do because it was company policy. She claims the employee did not check the locker room while she was present.
- She said she raised the issue again, four days later, with another staff member because she had safety concerns, but she said the employee called her “transphobic” instead of looking into her claims.

Dumbass of the Day
Jeez, California! Are you really going to elect Xavier Becerra?
Crazy Criminals Are Still Criminals
According to Fox News:
32-year-old Rhamell Burke had just been released from a psych ward when he allegedly shoved an elderly man down a flight of stairs to his death Thursday night in Manhattan, according to the New York Post.
Cops detained Burke and took him to Bellevue Hospital on Thursday afternoon, a New York Police Department source told Fox News Digital.
The officers reportedly marked him down as an “emotionally disturbed person,” according to the Post.
But a little over an hour later, Burke was released. Five hours after that, Burke allegedly pushed 76-year-old former teacher Ross Falzone down a flight of subway stairs in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood, killing the elderly man, an NYPD source confirmed to Fox News Digital.
Police told the Post that Burke had been “acting erratically” outside an NYPD station house when they arrested him. He was allegedly wielding a stick that he had grabbed from a garbage can.
This Is Not Very Christian
According to Fox News:
Some of the country’s most prominent Catholic colleges and universities are holding separate LGBTQ-affirming graduation ceremonies this spring, including one that also plans to include a drag performance.
At least 20 colleges or universities associated with the Catholic Church have held, or plan to hold, these “lavender graduation” ceremonies and celebrations, which are done separate from the main commencement ceremony and are intended to “honor and celebrate the achievements of our LGBTQ+ graduates,” according to a Fox News Digital review of university websites and social media posts.
The term “lavender” has been used to describe LGBTQ+ affiliations amongst the gay community for decades, but the phrase has also carried a loaded meaning in Catholic circles, where critics have used it in phrases like “lavender mafia” to refer to alleged homosexual networks within Church institutions.
The schools that have held, or plan to hold these graduation events, include Georgetown, Gonzaga, the University of San Francisco, Boston College, College of the Holy Cross, Fordham, Fairfield University, Marquette, Xavier, Seattle University, Saint Louis University, Loyola Marymount, Santa Clara University, St. John’s, Albertus Magnus College, St. Mary’s College of California, Regis University, Siena Heights University, St. Thomas University and Our Lady of the Lake University.
The ceremonies sparked criticism from Catholic watchdog the Cardinal Newman Society, an education advocacy group focused on ensuring Catholic schools uphold traditional church teachings. The society, which first highlighted several of the “lavender” ceremonies taking place this year, argues that the events promote an ideology at odds with the church’s teaching.
In reality, taxpayer-funded tablets have also been used for more lurid endeavors. In this exclusive City Journal investigation, we contacted dozens of death-row inmates, who told us that prisoners in the state system use such devices to watch pornography and have explicit sexual conversations. Some prisoners, according to a former high-ranking California corrections official, use their tablets to groom minors. Though the state has claimed to regulate explicit content, the inmates told us that users can easily evade detection.
When reached for comment, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation said the tablets were “tightly controlled education tools” that provided inmates with “access to the Bible, education, and reentry resources that actually reduce crime.”
But inmates told us a different story. For some, the devices have become personal sex machines. In the words of one inmate, California’s death row is populated with desperately “horny” criminals who see the tablets as a way to satisfy their basest fantasies and desires—all thanks to the California taxpayer.
