The Supreme Court Just Dealt a Blow to the Dems’ Plan to Persecute ICE Agents If They Retake Power

The Democrats have made it painfully, frighteningly clear that they intend to weaponize the government against President Trump, his allies, and anyone who didn’t sufficiently “resist” the Trump administration if they regain power. Susan Rice said last month, “When it comes to the elites, the corporate interests, the law firms, the universities, the media…it is not going to end well for them, for those that decided…that they would act in their perceived very narrow self interest,” Rice said, “which I would underscore is a very short-term self-interest and take a knee to Trump.”

Rice added, “If they’ve done something wrong, they will be held accountable. And if they haven’t broken the law, good for them; if they’ve done the right things, good for them. That also will be noted and remembered. This is not going to be an instance of forgive and forget. The damage that these people are doing is too severe to the American people and our national interests.”

Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker promised to do the same, telling the media, “I don’t think you can speak of it in shorthand, but we’ve got to restore the rule of law, and that means holding people accountable who’ve broken the law. I’m talking about the people in this administration who’ve broken the law and federal agents who’ve broken the law.” He said Democrats would do whatever it took to prosecute them, “Criminally prosecuted, civilly prosecuted. Whatever it is that we can do.”

The biggest target thus far of the Democrats’ retribution plans is ICE agents. Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner vowed to hunt them down like Nazis. Eric Swalwell said he’d make their lives a living hell if he’s elected Governor of California. And several states, including Maryland and Rhode Island, have introduced legislation that would bar ICE agents from obtaining law enforcement jobs in those states, while Colorado advanced a bill allowing lawsuits against ICE agents.

Newly Released Documents Reveal Judges Beryl Howell and Boasberg Secretly Worked with Jack Smith to Bring Charges Against President Trump

Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley on Tuesday released Jack Smith subpoenas of FBI Director Kash Patel’s phone records.

“Jack Smith subpoenaed Verizon for roughly TWO YEARS’ worth of FBI Director Kash Patel’s private records, including his text and call logs, residential address and credit card number,” the Senate Judiciary Committee said on Tuesday.

“The records include a wish list created by Smith’s team naming 14 members of Congress for whom they wanted to seek tolling data,” Grassley said.

“Some of those members are senators on this very Committee,” Senator Grassley said.

Last month it was reported that Joe Biden’s FBI obtained phone records of Kash Patel and Susie Wiles back in 2022 and 2023 as part of Jack Smith’s investigation into classified documents lawfully stored at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.

“It is outrageous and deeply alarming that the previous FBI leadership secretly subpoenaed my own phone records — along with those of now White House chief of staff Susie Wiles — using flimsy pretexts and burying the entire process in prohibited case files designed to evade all oversight,” Kash Patel said to Fox News.

Kash Patel fired at least 10 of the FBI officials involved in secretly subpoenaing his phone records.

The newly released documents reveal Judges Boasberg and Beryl Howell (both Obama appointees) secretly worked with then-Special Counsel Jack Smith to bring charges against President Trump.

High-Profile Scientists Keep Winding Up Dead or Missing — GOP Rep Suggests There May Be a Conspiracy at Play

Several prominent scientists and researchers in the U.S. have reportedly died or gone missing over the past year, fueling speculation about whether some of the disappearances may have occurred under suspicious circumstances.

William Neil McCasland, a 68-year-old retired Air Force major general who had knowledge of UFOs, went missing in New Mexico on Feb. 27, NewsNation reported. Republican Tennessee Rep. Tim Burchett told the Daily Mail on Sunday that he believes there may be a pattern emerging of other researchers throughout the nation similarly disappearing “under suspicious circumstances.”

“There have been several others throughout the country that have disappeared under suspicious circumstances,” Burchett told the outlet. “I think we ought to be paying attention to it.”

The congressman also indicated that “the numbers seem very high in these certain areas of research,” adding “I think we’d better be paying attention, and I don’t think we should trust our government.” He went on to claim that researchers with knowledge about UFOs are usually “very secretive about what they know.”

“Everybody’s talking about the UFO stuff,” the Tennessee Republican told the Daily Mail. “Those folks are very secretive about what they know. So I suspect very much that [McCasland] was involved in some of that.”

Burchett’s office did not respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

McCasland’s wife, Susan, asserted that no “foul play” was suspected in her husband’s disappearance, but added that he had left their house with just a pair of boots and his .38-caliber revolver on the day he disappeared, according to the Daily Mail.

Still, investigative journalist Ross Coulthart suggested during a Sunday appearance on “NewsNation Prime” that “foul play” may be a possibility in relation to McCasland’s disappearance.

“We have to ask, now, [about] the possibility of foul play — is there somebody who has interceded to take the general out of the picture?” Coulthart told NewsNation. “He was a man with some of the most sensitive U.S. military intelligence secrets in his head, especially particle beam technology.”

Additionally, Monica Reza went missing on June 22, 2025 while on a hike in the Angeles National Forest, per a Facebook page which describes its mission as aiming to “raising awareness and organizing volunteer efforts” to help find her. Reza previously served as a material scientist at Aerojet Rocketdyne, which notably was funded by NASA and the Air Force Research Laboratory for several years, The New York Post (NY Post) reported.

‘Arctic Frost’ Scandal: Biden FBI Wiretapped Trump Adviser Susie Wiles During Privileged Attorney Call, Then Hid Evidence in “Prohibited” Files

During a high-stakes hearing of the Subcommittee on Federal Courts, Oversight, Agency Action, and Federal Rights, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) dropped a series of nuclear revelations regarding the “Arctic Frost” investigation, a sweeping, clandestine operation by the Biden-era DOJ and FBI designed to spy on the political opposition.

The Gateway Pundit has been hammering this story since February, when we reported that Biden’s FBI secretly snatched the phone records of Kash Patel and Susie Wiles in 2022 and 2023 as part of deranged Special Counsel Jack Smith’s sham classified-documents probe into papers lawfully stored at Mar-a-Lago.

Joe Biden’s FBI wiretapped a privileged attorney-client call involving top Trump adviser Susie Wiles, without the consent of either party, and then attempted to bury the evidence.

Axios reporter Marc Caputo reports that the lawyer, who has not been publicly identified, denied the accusation that he approved the FBI recording.

The revelations were confirmed during the hearing titled “Arctic Frost: A Modern Watergate,” held by the Subcommittee on Federal Courts, Oversight, Agency Action, and Federal Rights.

Witnesses included:

  • Will Chamberlain (Article III Project)
  • Margot Cleveland (The Federalist)
  • Christopher O’Leary (former FBI agent)

What they described was nothing short of chilling.

Cruz walked Cleveland through the scope of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation, and the numbers alone are staggering:

  • Nearly 200 subpoenas issued
  • Over 400 Republican individuals and organizations targeted
  • Some targets had no connection to January 6
  • Others didn’t even exist at the time

Cruz asked about subpoenaing toll records of members of Congress. Cleveland confirmed it raises massive Speech and Debate Clause problems. When Jack Smith tried to force AT&T to cough up Ted Cruz’s own records, AT&T flat-out refused, saying it violated the Constitution. Smith backed down like a coward and never even tried to enforce it in court.

Cleveland made it crystal clear, Smith knew well what he was doing was illegal.

The Case Against Federal Reserve Independence

The independence of the Federal Reserve System has become a major source of public controversy. As political leaders signal dissatisfaction with monetary policy, officials and commentators rush to defend the central bank’s insulation from democratic pressure. We are told, as if it were self-evident, that central bank independence is a pillar of sound economic governance.

But this confidence is misplaced. The economic case for central bank independence is far weaker than its defenders suggest. And the constitutional case is weaker still.

Start with economics. The standard argument is that independent central banks deliver low and stable inflation because they are insulated from short-term political incentives. Elected officials, facing electoral pressures, might be tempted to juice the economy with artificially loose monetary policy. By contrast, independent technocrats can take the long view.

Early empirical studies did show that countries with independent central banks experienced lower inflation. Yet more recent research has cast doubt on this relationship. The correlation is sensitive to different samples and methods. In many cases, the supposed benefits of independence disappear entirely.

A more plausible explanation has emerged. Countries that enjoy low and stable inflation share deeper institutional characteristics: respect for the rule of law, stable political systems, and credible commitments to property rights. These are the real foundations of sound money. Central bank independence accompanies these basic governance norms, but its standalone effect is debatable.

This matters for a free-enterprise economy. Monetary policy is not a neutral technocratic exercise. Interest rates are prices: the price of time, risk, and capital. When insulated officials tinker with those prices at their discretion, the result is distorted market signals. Cheap credit can mislead investors, encourage unsustainable projects, and redistribute wealth in opaque ways. Independence does not eliminate politics. It simply hides politics behind a veil of expertise.

If the economic case for independence is overstated, the constitutional case is entirely bunk. The Constitution is clear: Congress holds the power “to coin Money” and “regulate the Value thereof.” Monetary authority, like all legislative power, originates with the people’s representatives. Congress may delegate certain functions to administrative bodies, including by creating a central bank. But delegation is not abdication. Those who exercise delegated authority remain accountable to the laws Congress passes and, ultimately, to the chief executive charged with enforcing them.

Yet the modern Fed operates as if our constitutional framework were irrelevant. Its leaders enjoy significant protection from removal. Its decisions (targeting interest rates, allocating credit, regulating banks, etc.) have sweeping consequences for the entire economy. If this does not constitute the exercise of executive power, it is hard to say what does.

Senate Confirms First Ever Assistant Attorney General to Investigate Fraud Nationwide

The US Senate on Tuesday confirmed the first ever Assistant Attorney General Colin McDonald to investigate fraud nationwide in a 52-47 vote.

In January, President Trump announced he nominated Colin McDonald to serve as the Assistant Attorney General for National Fraud Enforcement.

“I am pleased to nominate Colin McDonald to serve as the first ever Assistant Attorney General for National FRAUD Enforcement, a new Division at the Department of Justice, which I created to catch and stop FRAUDSTERS that have been STEALING from the American People,” Trump said.

“My Administration has uncovered Fraud schemes in States like Minnesota and California, where these thieves have stolen Hundreds of Billions of Taxpayer Dollars. Colin McDonald is a very Smart, Tough, and Highly Respected AMERICA FIRST Federal Prosecutor who has successfully delivered Justice in some of the most difficult and high stakes cases our Country has ever seen. Together, we will END THE FRAUD, and RESTORE INTEGRITY to our Federal Programs. Congratulations Colin — STOP THE SCAMS!” Trump said.

Here’s Why the Venezuelan Illegal Immigrant Who Killed a College Student Missed His Court Appearance

Over the weekend, Venezuelan illegal immigrant Jose Medina-Medina was arrested for murdering 18-year-old Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman. Gorman, 18, was walking with friends in Chicago when Medina-Medina shot her in the head. He was released at the border by the Biden administration back in 2013.

Medina-Medina missed his court appearance yesterday because he was hospitalized with tuberculosis.

Here’s more:

Sheridan Gorman spent the early morning hours on Thursday with friends, watching the skyline on the Loyola Beach Pier, prosecutors said, when she noticed someone hiding.

As the group started to run away, Jose Medina, 25, fired a gun, prosecutors alleged Monday, hitting the 18-year-old Loyola University Chicago student in the back while her friends took cover in a grassy area of the beach.

Though a full detention hearing was postponed because Medina is hospitalized with tuberculosis, Cook County prosecutors gave a brief account of the shooting that plunged the Rogers Park university into mourning and generated international headlines when the U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced it had lodged a detainer request asking Illinois officials not to release Medina, who is a Venezuelan national.

Medina is facing charges of murder, among other felonies, in the slaying of Gorman, who was a first-year student from Yorktown Heights, New York. He is scheduled to appear in court on Friday where his public defender will detail any mitigating circumstances.

Elderly Leftist Couple ARRESTED for Vandalizing Republican Office in Illinois

The “tolerant” left is at it again, and this time, it’s coming from the “Golden Years” crowd.

Two elderly leftists in Arlington Heights, Illinois, have been arrested and charged after a months-long investigation into the disgusting vandalism of the Republicans of Wheeling Township headquarters.

According to the Arlington Heights Police Department, 72-year-old Brock McNerney and 69-year-old Moisette McNerney were taken into custody on Monday in connection with the defacement of the headquarters last January.

The pair now face misdemeanor charges of criminal damage to property and criminal defacement of property under Illinois law. Authorities say the arrests were made without incident, and the suspects were released pending their initial court appearance.

ABC7 Chicago reported:

Surveillance video from the late evening hours of Jan. 25 shows a couple, a man in glasses and a woman, both dressed in black, drawing explicit words and what ABC7 Chicago has been told were several Nazi symbols over the face of Charlie Kirk on the windows in Arlington Heights.

“Charlie Kirk was born in Arlington Heights, and he actually had come through our doors; so, he was initially started off with our organization. So, we’re really kind of deeply saddened to see that,” Deputy Committeeman John Saletta said.

The Republicans of Wheeling Township Office said the alleged vandals drew antisemitic symbols on their building.

Saletta said they put up surveillance cameras after their building was previously vandalized in December.

“It’s obviously highly offensive, and we’re better than this,” Saletta said. “I think that as a nation, you know, we can resolve our differences through dialogue. That’s what Charlie was all about.”

Drone Swarms Breach Key Nuclear Bomber Base

Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana, a key installation housing the U.S. Air Force’s strategic B-52 bomber fleet, reported multiple unauthorized drone incursions into its restricted airspace between March 9 and March 15, 2026.

According to an internal military briefing document reviewed by ABC News, the incursions involved waves of 12 to 15 drones operating over sensitive areas of the installation, including the flight line. [1]

The first incident on March 9 triggered a shelter-in-place order and a full security alert at the base. A Barksdale AFB spokesman confirmed the detection of ‘multiple unauthorized drones’ but declined to comment on the specifics of the leaked report. The incursions forced the base to close its runway to incoming and outgoing aircraft, a measure highlighting the operational disruption and perceived threat level. [2] [1]

Details of the Incursions and Military Response

The confidential report stated that Security Forces personnel observed multiple waves of drones over several days, with the activity ceasing on March 13 and 14 before resuming. The drones were described as ‘custom-built’ and demonstrated a level of operational sophistication that indicated deliberate reconnaissance or testing of base defenses. According to the report, the aircraft dispersed across sensitive locations after reaching multiple points on the installation. [3]

The military’s response included activating standard counter-drone protocols. U.S. military bases typically employ radio-frequency (RF) and electronic warfare (EW) jamming systems designed to sever the control link between a drone and its operator or scramble its GPS navigation, forcing it to land or crash. However, in this instance, these standard countermeasures reportedly failed to disrupt the drone swarms. [4]

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is involved in the ongoing investigation alongside military and other federal law enforcement agencies, according to official statements. The base spokesman emphasized that flying a drone over a military installation is a federal criminal offense. [2]

Technical Characteristics and Security Implications

Officials familiar with the briefing indicated the drones used specialized control signals not typical of commercially available models, making them resistant to standard jamming technology. The operators demonstrated advanced knowledge of radio signal technology, allowing the drones to maintain operational control despite electronic countermeasures. This technical profile suggests a significant escalation in the capabilities of aerial threats facing domestic military installations. [3]

The event underscores a growing vulnerability in national air defense. Analysts note that modern, low-cost drone swarms can potentially overwhelm expensive, legacy defense systems. A recent article on NaturalNews.com highlighted that ‘NATO’s $400,000 missiles failed to stop Russia’s $11,000 drones, exposing a critical air defense weakness,’ a dynamic that may be mirrored in domestic base defense. [5] The incident at Barksdale follows a pattern of similar mysterious drone activity over sensitive sites, including a 2024 event where an ‘unknown fleet of drones’ entered restricted airspace over Langley Air Force Base in Virginia for 17 consecutive days. [6]

Dem Candidates Keep Getting Weirder: ‘Moderate’ TX Dem Played M*********** Pervert Who Was Supposed to Be Cute in Bizarre Video

I’d really hoped that I was beyond talking about Democratic U.S. House candidate Bobby Pulido’s strange public sex habits. As much as I want the guy to lose, I also don’t want to lose my lunch, either.

Thus, when the Tejano music star and the multiple Latin Grammy-winning entertainer got busted for old Twitter posts in which he both linked to pornography and suggested other bored folk search it out, I’d hoped that was the end of it.

After all, it was old stuff, he was supposed to be the new moderate face of the party in Texas, and surely he’d disavow thoughts like his 2014 statement that “It’s impossible to have Twitter and not watch porn.” (I’ve somehow managed, but I guess the Pulido fanbase is a different animal entirely.)

Alas, I was mistaken. Last week, the New York Post unearthed an old music video in which Pulido, who trails incumbent GOP Rep. Monica De La Cruz in the polls, played a serial pervert who, among other things, pleasures himself in public.

From the New York Post:

In a music video for his song “Dias de Ayer,” Pulido pantomimed as multiple characters including an exhibitionist, who wraps himself in a red blanket while repeatedly masturbating and even exposing himself to a woman while apparently on a private jet flight.

The two-time Latin Grammy winner seemingly caused such a stir with the 2010 video — which also displayed him as a homosexual admirer of the serial exhibitionist figure — that he faced questions from the Mexican press about his sexuality the same month it was released on an eponymous album.

“People are opening up more. I can even tell you that when I started my career, I saw the whole situation (of gays) very differently. At first, they said I was gay; there were rumors that I was like that,” Pulido told the outlet El Norte in a translated Spanish language March 2010 interview.
