Houthis join Iran war, Israel accuses Yemen of entering conflict

The Houthis, the Iranian-backed militant group, took to X to announce they have joined the Iran war, saying they have launched a salvo of ballistic rockets at military targets in southern Israel.

It came after Israel’s military said it had detected a missile launched from Yemen toward its territory and that its aerial defence systems were engaged to intercept the incoming threat.

Earlier, explosions were heard in the Syrian capital Damascus as well as the Lebanese capital of Beirut, despite the United States saying it was “hopeful” that peace meetings with Iran would take place this week.

Ghislaine Maxwell’s Father Sold Bugged Israeli Software to Two Nuclear Weapons Labs in New Mexico. Then His Daughter Led Jeffrey Epstein to Purchase a Ranch Located Halfway Between Them.

In 1985, a British media mogul walked into Sandia National Laboratories — one of the most sensitive nuclear weapons facilities in the United States — and signed a contract to install surveillance software that federal investigators would later allege was engineered to spy on its own users.

In 1993, a convicted sex offender purchased a ranch at the precise geographic midpoint between that facility and Los Alamos National Laboratory, the other crown jewel of American nuclear weapons research. He equipped that ranch with an industrial-sized spy-grade private microwave communications link running directly to a relay tower at Sandia Crest.

In 2023, a Texas family with documented ties to Russian officials and the Trump White House purchased that ranch, terminated most of its federal communications licenses — but kept the microwave link to Sandia Crest running, in the dead man’s company name.

The British media mogul was Robert Maxwell. His daughter is Ghislaine Maxwell. The sex offender was Jeffrey Epstein. The Texas family is Donald and Mary Catherine Huffines.

These documented facts are all drawn from federal court records, FCC license filings, FBI documents released under the Freedom of Information Act, the Epstein files, congressional testimony, published investigative reporting, and this reporter’s own review of primary sources.

What follows is a chronological account of what the records show — and of what New Mexico journalism and law enforcement has failed, for forty years, to ask.

Rubio Accuses Zelenskyy of Telling a Significant Lie About US Security Guarantees: ‘He Knows That’s Not True’

Secretary of State Marco Rubio might be the United States’ top diplomat, but there was nothing diplomatic in his language on Friday.

During a meeting with reporters at the end of a foreign ministers summit in France, Rubio was asked about a statement by Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy describing security guarantees the U.S. has offered in talks to end the Russian war in Ukraine.

Rubio’s response was blunt to the point of insult.

A reporter had asked Rubio to comment on Zelenskyy statements reported Thursday by Reuters, in which the Ukrainian president said U.S. security guarantees depended on Ukraine withdrawing its forces from the Donbas region in Ukraine’s east — the scene of heavy fighting between Russian invaders and Ukrainian defenders.

In effect, Zelenskyy said the U.S. was pressuring Ukraine to surrender its territory in exchange for American support against future Russian aggression.

“That’s a lie,” Rubio said. “And I saw him say that, and it’s unfortunate he would say that, ’cause he knows that’s not true, and it’s not what he was told.

“What he was told is the obvious: Security guarantees are not going to kick in until there’s an end to a war. Because, otherwise, you’re getting yourself involved in a war …

“What he was told very clearly, and he should have understood it, is that the security guarantees come only after there is an end to the war.

“That was not attached to, ‘unless he gives up territory.’ I don’t know why he says these things. They’re just not true.”

The blowup is the latest battle between Zelenskyy and the Trump administration. That relationship has experienced some rocky moments since President Donald Trump returned to the White House in January 2025.

At that point, the war in Ukraine, which started in February 2022, had been raging for almost three years.

Following the Dark Money: Turns Out Those Street Protests Aren’t Spontaneous At All

A report highlighted by Fox News Digital details a network of organizations tied to millions of dollars in funding for activist groups across the United States and globally, raising questions about the origins and coordination behind protest movements.

Will Cain discussed the findings, focusing on what he described as a coordinated system behind various demonstrations.

“Let’s talk about the worldwide paid protest pipeline. Who’s funding it and why?” Cain said.

He added that the same patterns appear across different movements, stating, “Because, no matter the cause, anti ICE, pro Palestine, pro Iran, you’ll see different signs, but it’s the same script, and it’s the same networks, the same organizers, the same graphics, the same font.”

Cain said Fox News Digital examined financial transactions spanning several years, stating, “Fox News digital has been digging into this, following the money.”

He said the investigation identified a central figure connected to the funding, adding, “A lot of it, leads back to one man we told you about him in the past, tech tycoon, American born Neville Roy Singham, who lives in Shanghai now.”

According to Cain, Singham is alleged to have directed funding through multiple channels, stating, “He allegedly poured millions into these networks to push an overtly pro Chinese Communist Party interest.”

One of Jill Biden’s Secret Service Agents Shot Himself in the Leg at Philadelphia Airport

A Secret Service agent has reportedly shot himself in the leg while escorting former first lady Jill Biden at Philadelphia International Airport on Friday.

A heavy police presence was seen surrounding the American Airlines ticket counter at Terminal C. A black Chevy Suburban was spotted with its trunk and front passenger door open, cordoned off by police tape, while a medical unit was also seen leaving the scene, followed by a Philadelphia police car.

The agent’s condition is currently unclear.

A spokesperson for the Secret Service said, “We are gathering the facts and will have a statement shortly.”

Former First Lady Jill Biden was being escorted through the airport at the time of the incident, while Americans continued to face long security lines after Democrats blocked funding for the Department of Homeland Security for more than 40 days. 

As of Friday morning, the Senate passed a funding bill; however, it did not provide support for immigration agencies, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and parts of Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Democrats are hailing the measure as another party victory, framing yet another prolonged shutdown as a successful political maneuver.

Wait, That’s Why PA House Dems Pulled Their National Women’s Month Resolution

They’re just unserious people. The Democratic Party is so unhinged, illiberal, and has a base to back that up. They’re also terrified of them since we’re dealing with left-wing cultural authoritarians, where any deviation is a political death sentence. Why do you think the party is so paralyzed on transgender issues? Most Americans can answer what a woman is. The average Democrat cannot. In Pennsylvania, they even nuked a resolution honoring National Women’s Month over it.  

I’m not kidding. Pennsylvania Democrats drafted this resolution but ran away like scared wombats when a Republican wanted to attach an amendment clarifying the definition of womanhood. The Democrats then pulled the resolution.

Pennsylvania House Democrats withdrew consideration of a resolution honoring March as “National Women’s Month” after a Republican lawmaker filed an amendment to include the physiological definition of “woman” in the text. 

What was expected to be a quick, symbolic vote instead turned into a brief but telling floor moment, with Republicans forcing the question into the open and Democrats opting to shelve the resolution rather than define “woman” in legislation — leading to an eruption of laughter on the House floor. 

House Speaker Joanna McClinton, D-Southwest Philadelphia, was bringing a rapid-fire succession of bills up for consideration late in Tuesday’s session when she asked the clerk to introduce House Resolution 390. 

The bill, from state Rep. Carol Hill-Evans, D-York, recognized March as Women’s History Month in Pennsylvania. Hill-Evans wrote in her presentation of the bill that it “celebrat[es] the extraordinary accomplishments of women,” which “too often go unacknowledged.”

Los Angeles Times Columnist Says if a Republican Wins the Race for Governor of California, ‘A Recall Would Begin Immediately’

In 2017, on the same day that Donald Trump was first sworn in as president, the Washington Post ran a story with the headline “The Campaign to Impeach President Trump has begun.”

That’s right, the people on the left who have been telling all of us for years that Trump doesn’t respect our democracy or accept election results are dealing purely in projection. That headline, coupled with their behavior ever since proves it.

Now, they might prove it to us all over again in California.

A columnist for the Los Angeles Times named Steve Lopez is promising that if a Republican wins the race for governor in California (GASP), that an effort to recall that person will begin immediately.

These people are not even waiting to lose elections anymore. They’re just telling us that they will never, ever accept Republican leaders, even if the voters choose them.

From the Los Angeles Times:

Yes, a Republican could be California’s next governor. And a recall would begin immediately

Once upon a time in California, I went to the Orange County fairgrounds to watch Arnold Schwarzenegger give the signal for a wrecking ball to drop onto a vehicle.

The audience went wild, and Schwarzenegger went on to become governor and deliver on his promise to roll back a car tax increase, thereby blowing a $4-billion hole in the state budget.

I think it’s fair to say that in the current gubernatorial campaign season, the excitement level is several decibels below what we experienced in 2003. But once again, it’s fair to say we’ve not seen anything quite like this year’s derby…

To break that down, eight Democrats and two Republicans are running in the primary, and here’s the craziest thing about that:

The two Republicans could be the top two vote-getters because the Democrats have arranged themselves into a circular firing squad. While the Dems scramble for votes in the June 2 primary, the two Republicans lead in the polls because they’re splitting the GOP vote, and under the rules of the top-two primary, they could face off in the November election.

Lopez fantasizes about how the recall effort would take shape, should a Republican win:

A wealthy Democratic donor could bankroll the recall campaign, Stutzman said. Or public employee unions might put up the money, given that a Republican winner is likely to create a state version of Elon Musk’s ham-handed attempt to fire nearly everyone on the federal payroll.

“The pitch,” Stutzman said of the recall strategy in an email, would be that “Trump still looms and CA must resist, and a GOP gov is a fluke of weird election law. Difficult to imagine it wouldn’t succeed.”

The most amazing thing about this column is that it barely even touches on why a Republican could win the election. California is losing population for the first time in history. The state has the highest taxes in the country. People are still struggling to rebuild their homes from wildfires that happened more than a year ago. Even the entertainment industry is deserting California.

Instead of focusing on this, the columnist’s entire premise boils down to: Here’s how we can make sure a Democrat wins and how we can sabotage the winning Republican if it comes down to that.

Congress Is Trying to Sneak a CBDC into Their Must-Pass Housing Bill: Economist St Onge

Economist Peter St Onge raised concerns about a housing bill moving through Congress, arguing that a provision within the legislation could allow for the development of a central bank digital currency despite language presented as a ban.

“Republicans in Congress are pushing a central bank digital currency, once again disguised as a ban, so they can surveil and control every dollar you spend,” St Onge said.

He questioned the intent behind the proposal, adding, “Will it be the Republicans who make you eat the bugs?”

St Onge said the broader housing bill includes provisions addressing zoning regulations and mortgage rates but also contains additional elements he described as problematic.

“Republicans in Congress are currently pushing a housing bill that does some useful things to red tape zoning and mortgage rates while doing some shady things, this is Congress, remember,” he said.

He added that the legislation includes financial measures, stating, “Like letting banks print money they don’t have, and handing free money to people with bad credit, which didn’t work in 2008.”

St Onge said a key concern is a provision related to digital currency, explaining, “But hidden deep in the bowels is a little gem that effectively green lights a central bank digital currency, CBDC, so long as Wall Street gets a piece of the action.”

Aliens are ‘demons’ – Vance

US Vice President J.D. Vance has said aliens are in fact “demons,” vowing to dig into US government files on UFOs.

He made the remarks in an interview with podcaster Benny Johnson released on Friday. Vance discussed the UFO files and government disclosures, saying he is “obsessed” with the topic, but has not had enough time to “get to the bottom of it.”

“I’ve already had a couple of times where I’ve said, ‘All right, we’re going to Area 51, we’re going out to New Mexico, we’re going to sort of get to the bottom of this.’ And then the timing of the trip didn’t work out,” he said. “I’m more curious than anybody. And I’ve got three years at the very tippy top of the classification. I’m going to get to the bottom of it.”

Area 51 is a secretive US Air Force facility in southern Nevada that has long been linked to speculation about alien life.

Johnson asked Vance about President Donald Trump’s February order directing federal agencies to begin “identifying and releasing” government files related to UFOs and aliens. Trump said he was taking the step “based on the tremendous interest shown,” shortly after former President Barack Obama publicly said that aliens are “real.”

Socialist Bernie Sanders Spotted Flying First Class While He Forces Americans to Go without Pay

Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders was spotted in a first class seat as he fled DC for a two-week Easter recess.

TMZ obtained a photo of Bernie Sanders living large in First Class while he forces Americans to go without pay.

The Senate very early Friday morning, after a marathon session, unanimously approved a voice-vote package to fund the Department of Homeland Security, except for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and key parts of Customs and Border Protection.

Democrats flat-out refused to support full funding without gutting immigration raids and deportation operations.

Instead of fighting for the full funding, Thune and the Senate GOP folded in the dead of night, when no one was watching.

Thune then left town with a private escort. He was able to skip the long TSA security lines while Americans miss flights.
