Activist-minister aiding teen killer Karmelo Anthony has his own lengthy rap sheet: reports

An activist representing accused teen killer Karmelo Anthony has a lengthy criminal history that includes a conviction on child abuse charges and allegations of domestic violence from a former romantic partner, according to past reports.

Minister Dominique Alexander, the appointed spokesperson for the alleged teen murderer, has previously been charged with multiple felonies for which he served almost zero prison time, according to local reports.

Back in 2009, Alexander was arrested for shaking and hitting the 2-year-old child of his then-girlfriend with an object, according to Fox 4 Dallas.

He was convicted of the charges in 2011, receiving two years of probation from a Dallas court.

However, in 2016, the activist was sentenced to two years in prison for multiple violations of that probation — but only served eight days in prison for two listed infractions of traveling out of state, according to the Dallas Morning News.

The Left’s Sudden Crusade For ‘Due Process’ Is A Political Smokescreen To Defend Mass Migration

For weeks, media bombarded Americans with reports about a “Maryland father” who was mistakenly deported to a prison in El Salvador — a sympathetic figure supposedly plucked from the streets in a suburb in Baltimore. At the time it appeared the only available detail that stained Democrats’ caricature of Kilmar Abrego Garcia was his alleged involvement in MS-13.

Such an allegation didn’t deter Democrats from rushing to his defense, with Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen going so far as to fly to El Salvador to sit down with Abrego Garcia — a surreal photo-op complete with margaritas. But as Hollen made his visit to El Salvador, new details surfaced: Abrego Garcia wasn’t just allegedly linked to MS-13 — he was also an accused wife-beater and human smuggler.

Suddenly defending Abrego Garcia as an individual — or a “Maryland father” — became politically toxic. So, the narrative shifted. Now, it was less about defending Abrego Garcia and more about defending his “due process rights.”

There’s just one problem: Abrego Garcia already had due process in 2019.

Abrego Garcia illegally crossed the border in 2011 and was detained in March of 2019. He was charged with removability and later was denied bond when an immigration judge concluded — based on evidence — that Abrego Garcia “is a verified member of MS-13” and failed to prove “that his release from custody would not pose a danger to others.” Abrego Garcia’s attorneys then filed an asylum claim six months later. This claim was also denied, though a judge did rule that Abrego Garcia could not be sent to El Salvador. As Will Chamberlain, senior counsel at the Article 3 Project, explained, “Any third country would be sufficient.”

So if it can’t be about “due process,” then what is it really all about?

It’s about sabotaging Trump’s lawful, effective, and broadly popular deportation agenda.

3rd Would-Be Trump Assassin Plotted with Telegram Account Linked to Ukrainian Cell Number — We’ve Identified the Account and Individual It’s Registered To

A newly unsealed FBI affidavit reveals that 17-year-old Wisconsin native Nikita Casap — who murdered his parents, stole $14,000 in cash, and plotted to assassinate President Trump using a militarized drone — was communicating via Telegram with an overseas phone number registered to Vodafone Ukraine, one of the country’s largest mobile carriers.

The Telegram account linked to the overseas phone number +380 50 259 5318 — registered under Vodafone Ukraine — was found to be communicating in Cyrillic script, specifically written in the Ukrainian language.

The Telegram username “PoМаН ВіКТОВИЧ” — written in Ukrainian Cyrillic — translates to Roman Viktorovich, the shadowy figure linked to a foreign cell guiding a would-be Trump assassin.

How We Confirmed It Was Ukrainian, Not Russian:
1. Country Code +380
The +380 prefix is the internationally recognized country code for Ukraine, confirming the phone number is Ukrainian in origin.

The mobile prefix 050 specifically identifies the number as belonging to Vodafone Ukraine, one of the country’s leading mobile operators.

2. Telegram Display Name: РОМаН ВіКТОВИЧ
This is the Cyrillic version of the name Roman Viktorovich.

The presence of the letter “і” in “ВіКТОВИЧ” is key:

The letter “і” is used in Ukrainian, but not in modern Russian (Russian uses “и” instead).

Ukrainian also includes unique letters like “ї”, “є”, and “ґ” which do not appear in the Russian alphabet.

The Pete Hegseth ‘Chaos’ That Wasn’t Then And Isn’t Now

There needs to be a rule that says “chaos” should be accompanied by a definition of the word anytime it’s used in a news article intended to get people upset about Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. My guess is that if such a policy were in place, all articles about him and the alleged “chaos” happening at the department would never make it to print.

The New York Times and Politico on Sunday published separate pieces attempting to lather up more Hegseth controversy, a coincidence, no doubt, and not a coordinated campaign to take down one of President Trump’s most consequential cabinet heads. (Both articles even linked to one another!)

The Times story microwaved the “Signalgate” controversy from a month ago, this time with new anonymous allegations about a separate Signal phone app group chat created by Hegseth, which included his wife, brother, and personal lawyer, among a group of Defense leaders, and in which he supposedly shared information related to the U.S. military. Politico’s piece was an op-ed by John Ullyot, who said he resigned from his role as Pentagon spokesman last week. Ullyot wrote that under Hegseth, the Defense Department is in “total chaos.”

Since the Times article is mostly a throwback to a desperate non-scandal weeks old, is based on unnamed sources, and comes after the last president literally allowed his wife to lead a cabinet meeting — no outrage there! — let’s focus on the more pressing of the two: the op-ed by Ullyot. In the piece, the former Pentagon official indicated a likelihood Hegseth will soon be fired from the job because there’s currently a “a full-blown meltdown” at the department, one that is “becoming a real problem for the administration.” He called March “The Month from Hell,” spoke of a “near collapse inside the Pentagon’s top ranks,” and claimed Hegseth is engaged in “a strange and baffling purge” of the department.

Sounds urgent! But while Ullyot has an apparently bottomless sack of alarming phrases to use, the details of his panic and anguish are either old news or deeply boring. “First there was Signalgate,” he wrote, “where the secretary shared detailed operational plans, including timelines and specifics, about an impending military strike on the Houthis in Yemen over an unclassified Signal chat group that happened to include a member of the news media.” Why this continues to be a supposed scandal for Hegseth and not National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, who added the “member of the news media” (by mistake) is obvious — the media prefer Waltz over Hegseth, who is a greater threat to the established Washington order, i.e. lucrative war weapons manufacturing. At most, Hegseth is guilty of failing to notice an eavesdropper while sharing vague military attack plans in the chat, but he is by no stretch the centerpiece of the story. That’s Waltz.

Ullyot, who served as a top Pentagon public affairs official, also faulted Hegseth for his initial response to the story. “Once the Signalgate story broke, Hegseth followed horrible crisis-communications advice from his new public affairs team,” he wrote, “who somehow convinced him to try to debunk the reporting through a vague, Clinton-esque non-denial denial that ‘nobody was texting war plans.’” Ullyot called it “a violation of PR rule number one — get the bad news out right away.”

That assertion exposes Ullyot as hopelessly naive and with an understanding of the Washington press that he seems to have picked up from watching reruns of The West Wing. There is no such thing as “PR rule number one” to “get the bad news out right away.” That’s a stupid cliche propagated by life coach-style “communication experts” convincing suckers that there’s a tried and true formula to make a media feeding frenzy go away with minimal damage. There isn’t. And to accept the premise that there’s “bad news” solely because the Washington media have deemed it so is to prove that Ullyot was never equipped to have a job speaking with the press.

He then checked off the wife-in-sensitive-meetings story (not important), an alleged high-level briefing on China that was supposed to be attended by Elon Musk (it never took place and the details are disputed by the White House), and the “purges” of some Pentagon personnel for various reasons (government job losses). He also referenced the Times report about the alleged separate Signal chat.

Tim Walz’s Daughter Compares Violent MS-13 Gang Members to Jesus Christ, Claims Trump Would Have Deported Him

Hope Walz, the 24-year-old daughter of failed presidential candidate Governor Tim Walz (D), ignited a firestorm of backlash over the weekend after posting a jaw-dropping TikTok in which she compared violent MS-13 gang members to Jesus Christ — and accused President Donald Trump of being so heartless he would have deported Jesus himself.

In the now-viral clip, Walz unloaded on what she called the Trump administration’s “lack of due process” for illegal immigrants, even suggesting Trump would have falsely labeled Jesus a member of the notorious MS-13 gang.

“If Jesus were alive today and in the United States, this administration would already have taken him and removed him from this country without due process,” Walz said in the video.

She went on to assert that Trump’s team would have “claimed he was a member of the MS-13 gang as a way to try to justify not giving him due process — as if there is any justifiable reason to not give somebody due process.”

“But yeah, some people don’t want to talk about that. It truly is baffling how clear and laid out everything is, and there is still people standing by it. I believe in the good of people and humanity, humans, deep down at our core, we care about each other,” she added.

Military Finds Physical Reality Shatters DEI-Fueled Theories About The Sexes

Ten years have passed since the Department of Defense initiated a social experiment with women in the military. Pentagon officials promised that female trainees headed for previously all-male combat arms units would have to meet the exact same standards as men. Has the experiment played out as promised?

We are about to find out. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s March 30 memorandum calls for a 60-day review to achieve high, uncompromised standards in combat arms units such as the infantry, special operations, and other occupations with extraordinary physical demands. 

Thanks to a series of executive orders that President Donald Trump has issued since January, Hegseth’s six-month implementation period should proceed without equivocation or distractions related to percentage-based diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) quotas. Wrote Hegseth, “[I]t is essential to identify which positions require heightened entry-level and sustained physical fitness.”

An honest review of contemporary policies regarding women in the military should reflect sound priorities unrelated to DEI. Career opportunities are important, but if there is a conflict, the needs of the military must come first.

Fury over school-issued advice that tells 14-year-old boys how to ‘safely choke their girlfriends during sex’

A council-funded sex education PowerPoint shown to teenagers referenced asking for consent before choking a partner.

The material, funded by Bridgend county borough council in south Wales, was shown to pupils studying PSHE lessons at a range of secondary schools. 

Provided by the council’s domestic abuse service, Assia, the PowerPoint, which was seen by The Times, taught children that ‘consent (when it comes to choking during sex) should happen every time sexual choking is an option’.

‘It is never OK to start choking someone without asking them first and giving them space to say no,’ it continued. 

Experts, however, have shared their deep concern at the sex education class which they say is portraying the idea that ‘choking can be done safely’.

‘This is not sex education, this is just advocacy for the porn industry,’ Michael Conroy, the founder of Men at Work, told The Times. 

‘Imagine you are a 14-year-old girl and you have told your boyfriend you don’t want to be choked but then an authority figure comes into school and tells you it is OK.

‘Choking cuts off oxygen to the brain and is incredibly harmful, it can even kill. Most schools will take it on trust that something endorsed by the local authority is OK.  There is a rampant myth that choking can be done safely and is simply another option for a sexual act.’

Trump slams Supreme Court over deportations, says it is ‘not possible’ to try every illegal migrant

President Donald Trump on Monday slammed the United States’ court system, including the Supreme Court, over their response to his efforts to deport illegal migrants, stating it is “not possible” to try every person who is in the U.S. illegally.

The Supreme Court over the weekend temporarily blocked Trump’s latest round of deportations under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act. Trump’s deportations have come under scrutiny after he removed hundreds of illegal migrants he accused of being gang members without due process. 

The president defended his actions in a post on Truth Social, claiming it would take “200 years” to try every illegal migrant, and slammed the Supreme Court for allegedly not wanting him to “send violent criminals and terrorists back to Venezuela.” 

“I’m doing what I was elected to do, remove criminals from our Country, but the Courts don’t seem to want me to do that,” Trump wrote in the post. “My team is fantastic, doing an incredible job, however, they are being stymied at every turn by even the U.S. Supreme Court, which I have such great respect for, but which seemingly doesn’t want me to send violent criminals and terrorists back to Venezuela, or any other Country.”

The president praised Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s dissent, stating the justice was right for wanting to “dissolve the pause on deportations.”

The Courts Are The Scofflaws Behind Our Current Constitutional Crisis

“Both the Executive and the Judiciary have an obligation to follow the law.” 

Those thirteen words, penned by Justice Samuel Alito on Holy Saturday, represent the first admission by the judiciary that courts too can wrongly flout the law. 

Justice Alito’s stark acknowledgement concluded his bullet-point evisceration of the Supreme Court’s “unprecedented” command that President Trump not remove a “putative class of detainees” under the Alien Enemies Act. The Supreme Court had entered that order shortly after midnight after the American Civil Liberties Union (“ACLU”) filed an emergency application asking alternatively for an emergency injunction, an immediate administrative injunction, a writ of mandamus, or a stay of removal, to prevent the Trump Administration from removing Venezuelans to El Salvador pursuant to the Alien Enemies Act.

The ACLU’s scattershot request for relief from the Supreme Court came a mere two days after they sued the Trump Administration in a federal court in Texas — and before that court or the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals had an opportunity to rule on the request for an injunction barring the removal of any more aliens to El Salvador. 

The ACLU filed the habeas corpus complaint on Wednesday in the Northern District of Texas, on behalf of two plaintiffs, identified merely as A.A.R.P. and W.M.M., but the ACLU also sought certification of a class defined as “[a]ll noncitizens in custody in the Northern District of Texas who were, are, or will be subject to the March 2025 Presidential Proclamation entitled ‘Invocation of the Alien Enemies Act Regarding the Invasion of the United States by Tren De Aragua’ and/or its implementation.”

Simultaneously, the ACLU filed a motion for a Temporary Restraining Order to prevent the Trump Administration from removing any aliens under the presidential proclamation Trump signed on March 14, 2024. That proclamation provided that “all Venezuelan citizens 14 years of age or older who are members of TdA [Tren de Aragua], are within the United States, and are not actually naturalized or lawful permanent residents of the United States are liable to be apprehended, restrained, secured, and removed as Alien Enemies.”

Fateful Errors: Why NATO Leaders Should Have Listened to George Kennan in 1997

In 1997, veteran U.S. diplomat George Kennan stated that ‘expanding NATO would be the most fateful error of American foreign policy in the entire post-Cold War era’. Twenty-eight years later, who would say he was wrong?

George Kennan famously authored the U.S. policy of containment of the Soviet Union, in an article in the New York Times of 1947, which he signed X, to maintain his anonymity. His view was that containment would lead to the eventual break up or mellowing of Soviet power and, as it turns out, the former prediction came to pass.

Yet, he was opposed to the expansion of NATO after the collapse of the Soviet Union and argued that asking European nations to choose between NATO and Russia would eventually lead to conflict.

In an article in the New York Times of 5 February 1997 he asked: ‘Why, with all the hopeful possibilities engendered by the end of the cold war, should East-West relations become centred on the question of who would be allied with whom and, by implication, against whom in some fanciful, totally unforeseeable and most improbable future military conflict?’

His article was intended to influence discussions ahead of the July 1997 NATO Summit in Madrid which would consider the planned expansion of NATO to include the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia. Each state had suffered under Soviet repression after World War II but were now free and democratic after the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact.

Kennan’s warning went unheeded, the NATO Summit agreed to the inclusion of three of the four former Warsaw Pact countries within NATO, excluding Slovakia which had not received the required number of votes in a referendum.
