ORBÁN FIGHTS BACK: Hungary Blocks $106 Billion EU Loan to Ukraine Until Zelensky Allows Flow of Russian Oil Through Druzhba Pipeline To Resume

Orbán accuses Ukraine of fomenting chaos in Hungary to benefit the Globalist opposition candidate.

This is a conflict that’s raging for months, but now, as Hungarian elections approach, the question of the Druzhba pipeline has come to the forefront of geopolitical tensions between Budapest and Kiev.

The supply of Russian oil to Hungary and Slovakia via the Druzhba (Friendship) pipeline across Ukrainian territory was cut by an attack, causing an explosion that destroyed it.

While in the last few days Orbán and Slovakia’s Robert Fico have retaliated by halting the delivery of diesel and energy to Ukraine, they have now gone a step further, blocking the much-needed EU funds from reaching Kyiv.

Here’s Why the US Is Losing Farms at an Alarming Rate

The United States lost about 15,000 farms last year as part of a disturbing trend that is reshaping the nation’s agricultural landscape.

The Agriculture Department’s latest Land in Farms report showed that the total number of farms in the U.S. fell to about 1.86 million in 2025, down from roughly 1.88 million in 2024. No state reported a net increase in farm operations.

Since 2018, the U.S. has lost over 150,000 farms, representing an eight percent decline that has affected states like Texas and Minnesota.

Smaller operations represent most of the losses. Farms with only $1,000 to $9,999 in yearly sales saw the steepest decline. Only farms that make over $1 million in sales grew.

There are a plethora of factors contributing to this trend. Rising costs, weaker prices, and structural change in the farm economy have figured into the decline, according to RFD-TV. Farmers are spending more for equipment, fuel, and fertilizer. Meanwhile commodity prices have dropped, creating what several economists describe as a crop-sector recession.

Farm bankruptcies and forced sales have increased, along with land prices and interests. This is making it harder for younger and smaller operations to start new farms or to expand existing ones.

If this trend continues, it could mean that U.S. agriculture appears more productive on paper, but less diverse and more vulnerable to changes in the industry. As larger farms continue to grow and smaller ones vanish, production will be concentrated in fewer hands and regions. This will increase the impact of extreme weather, disease outbreaks, or government policy changes on the industry.

US Intelligence: 15,000+ Were Let Free From ISIS Detention Camp After Collapse

Another ‘win’ for America’s disastrous Syria policy, long predicated on overthrowing the Assad government and installing a ‘moderate’ Sunni regime – though it turns out Jolani’s bearded Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) militants are anything but…

“U.S. intelligence agencies have concluded that 15,000 to 20,000 people, including Islamic State affiliates are now at large in Syria, after an exodus from a camp that held jihadists’ families, U.S. officials familiar with the estimate said,” The Wall Street Journal reports Friday.

Who could have predicted that chaos, instability, and terrorism would come out of the CIA’s Operation Timber Sycamore? Well, we did, and every rational observer of the Syria situation.

A billion plus dollars and hundreds of thousands of lives after the decade-long proxy war, and this is all Washington has to show for it:  

Security experts have long warned that the wives of Islamic State fighters were effectively raising the next generation of militants at the sprawling Al-Hol facility. Security at the camp fell apart in recent weeks after Syria’s government routed the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces, which had guarded Al-Hol for years, raising concerns about the release of people who might have become radicalized during the years held behind the razor wire.

The size of a small city, the camp in Syria’s eastern desert at one point held more than 70,000 people after U.S.-backed forces destroyed what remained of Islamic State’s self-proclaimed caliphate in Syria in 2019. At the end of 2025, more than 23,000 people were there, according to a report this week from the Pentagon’s Inspector General.

The US military is rapidly backing out of this region after the years-long occupation, effectively throwing the Kurds (SDF) under the bus, as HTS radicals move in and take control. 

Given many analysts have pointed to HTS being ‘ISIS-lite’ to begin with, the following WSJ note is no surprise: “The vast majority have left Al-Hol after the Syrian government took control last month. Western diplomats in Damascus assessed that more than 20,000 people fled the camp in a matter of days earlier amid rioting and a surge of escape attempts.”

Guatemalan Citizen Admits Using Stolen Identity to Obtain Custody of Teen Migrant

A Guatemalan national unlawfully residing in the United States pleaded guilty to charges of aggravated identity theft and false statements related to the submission of a fraudulent application to sponsor an unaccompanied alien child.

Court documents say that Felix Coc Choc, 29, of Rogers, Arkansas, submitted an application to the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Refugee Resettlement under penalty of perjury to sponsor and obtain custody of a UAC after the UAC entered the United States illegally.

As admitted in the plea agreement, after the 16-year-old Guatemalan UAC entered the United States illegally in Jan. 2023, Coc Choc submitted an application to sponsor the UAC, falsely claiming to be the UAC’s brother, J.C.J. Coc Choc also provided to ORR J.C.J.’s Guatemalan national identification card and birth certificate in support of the sponsorship application. 

After initially denying that he was using another individual’s identity, Coc Choc admitted to impersonating J.C.J and then submitted a sponsorship application in his true name. ORR denied this application as a result of the fraud.

Coc Choc pleaded guilty to one count of making a false, fictitious or fraudulent statement and one count of aggravated identity theft. At sentencing, Coc Choc faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison on the false statement count, and a mandatory consecutive penalty of two years in prison on the aggravated identity theft count. The Court will schedule Coc Choc’s sentencing at a later date.  A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

DOJ Moves to Strip U.S. Citizenship From Former North Miami Mayor Over Immigration Fraud

The U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida have filed a civil denaturalization complaint in the U.S. District Court in Miami, against Phillipe Bien-Amie, also known as Jean Philippe Janvier, a native of Haiti who used two identities to procure immigration benefits — and eventually acquire U.S. citizenship — after illegally entering the U.S.

Before he became a U.S. citizen under the name Philippe Bien-Aime, the defendant used a fraudulent, “photo-switched” passport to enter the U.S. under the name Jean Philippe Janvier. In 2001, Bien-Aime was placed in removal proceedings and ordered removed under the Janvier identity. 

He appealed the removal order, but he withdrew the appeal, representing that he had returned to live in Haiti. In reality, Bien-Aime remained in the U.S. and, using the new name and date of birth, married a U.S. citizen to obtain permanent resident status. The marriage was fraudulent and invalid because he was already married to a Haitian citizen. After making numerous false and fraudulent statements in adjustment and naturalization proceedings, he was naturalized in 2006 under the Bien-Aime identity.   

The man served as the mayor of North Miami. 

“This Administration will not permit fraudsters and tricksters who cheat their way to the gift of U.S. citizenship,” said Assistant Attorney General Brett A. Shumate of the Justice Department’s Civil Division. “The passage of time does not diminish blatant immigration fraud.”

The complaint, filed on Feb. 18, alleges that Bien-Aime illegally procured naturalization for several reasons. 

First, he was subject to a final removal order, which disqualified him from naturalization and precluded the former Immigration and Naturalization Service from considering his application for permanent resident status. Second, the removal order prohibited U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services from considering his naturalization application and granting U.S. citizenship.

Judge Rules on Evicting Residents Because Maryland Police Wouldn’t Clean up a Homeless Camp

We have bad news for you.

In a previous piece called ‘Horror Show in Maryland: Police Neglect of a Homeless Camp Might Lead to Nearby Residents Being Evicted,’ we talked about a condominium community called Marylander Condominiums, in Prince George’s County, Maryland, east of Washington, D.C. On the same grounds, there was an area nicknamed The Mountains which was a homeless encampment and open-air drug market, where criminal gangs allegedly rule. People from that camp would absolutely terrorize residents, even knocking out their heating system right as people in the greater D.C. area were digging slowly out of a pretty vicious snow/ice storm a few weeks back. Furthermore, officials were seeking to throw the presumably law-abiding residents out of their homes, by seeking a court order, because the homeless encampment had rendered their homes unliveable.

All of this was based on the absolutely excellent reporting of Aaron Sibarium…

Kansas Engineer Gets 29 Months for $1.2M Kickback Scheme on Nuclear Weapons Projects

A Kansas man was sentenced to 29 months in prison for conspiring to steer fraudulently and award subcontracts by a major engineering firm for work on nuclear weapons manufacturing projects for the National Nuclear Security Administration’s Kansas City National Security Campus (KCNSC).

According to court documents and evidence presented at trial, Michael Clinesmith, 70, of Overland Park, Kansas, solicited and received kickbacks and bribes from Richard Mueller, 65, of St. Charles, Missouri, in exchange for steering subcontracts from Clinesmith’s employer to Mueller’s company, known as subcontractor one.

 Clinesmith, a long-tenured employee of a major engineering firm working at the KCNSC, was responsible for designing and procuring gages specifically manufactured to measure components of nuclear weapons.

“For more than a decade, the defendant exchanged his integrity and his employer’s trust for kickbacks from a dishonest contractor,” said Assistant Attorney General A. Tysen Duva of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division. “To satisfy his greed, he corruptly steered contracts that were essential to ensuring the integrity of the nation’s nuclear weapons. Yesterday’s sentence reaffirms the Criminal Division’s commitment to rooting out fraud and corruption related to the procurement and manufacture of critically important products and services for the federal government and, ultimately, for United States taxpayers and to holding those accountable who commit these acts.”

Mamdani Is Collapsing Faster Than We Thought

You can’t say we didn’t warn New York what was going to happen if it elected Zohran Mamdani, but I gotta say, I don’t think anyone predicted it would start collapsing so quickly. But, alas, it has. That socialist utopia that Mamdani was supposed to deliver has instead turned into a slow-motion fiscal catastrophe a mere two months in — and even the liberal media is starting to notice.

Mamdani unveiled a $127 billion budget for fiscal year 2027 this week — a staggering $5 billion increase over the prior year.

But what’s $5 billion between socialists, right?

To put that into perspective, Mamdani’s proposed budget is actually larger than the budgets of 47 U.S. states, including Florida, which has nearly twice the population. And somehow, it still isn’t enough. The city is staring down a $5.4 billion deficit, with the real gap potentially closer to $12 billion when you do the actual math.

So what was his plan? Tax someone else.

Mamdani went straight to Albany looking for a handout, demanding that Gov. Kathy Hochul raise taxes on the “ultra-wealthy” and the most profitable corporations. When Hochul told him to pound sand and cut spending instead, he obviously couldn’t do that, and now he is looking at saddling homeowners with a 9.5% property tax hike.

Calling the SAVE Act ‘Jim Crow’ Is an Insult to History

For months, the SAVE Act has been debated as though it represents a constitutional crisis. Democratic leaders, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, have labeled the proposal “Jim Crow 2.0,” arguing that requiring documentary proof of citizenship and identification for federal elections risks disenfranchisement. Such a charge requires evidence—evidence contradicted by nearly every available statistic on the U.S. voting population. 

The SAVE Act requires documentary proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections. Its premise is straightforward: American citizens should determine the outcome of American elections. That principle is neither novel nor radical. Federal law already prohibits non-citizens from voting in federal contests. The SAVE Act formalizes a verification mechanism to ensure that statutory prohibition is meaningfully enforced. 

Democrats frequently cite raw identification statistics to suggest that the SAVE Act would lead to large-scale voter exclusion. Approximately 29 million voting-age Americans lack a valid driver’s license. That figure, while accurate, is analytically incomplete. A driver’s license is not the legal standard. The relevant question is whether an individual lacks any non-expired, government-issued photo identification. That number is closer to 7 million—roughly 3 percent of the voting-eligible population. 

Even that figure requires context. Voter participation varies significantly by education and income. Recent election data show that approximately 82 percent of Americans with advanced degrees vote, compared to about 52 percent of those with only a high school diploma. Turnout among white voters approaches 70 percent. Among Black voters, participation has hovered near 59 percent. Hispanic turnout has often been lower, around 47 percent.
