Junk science at NOAA about to come to an end

I never thought that I would see the day when the junk science at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA, came to an end. The Trump administration recently leaked news that it intends to eliminate the research arm of NOAA. I am not kidding when I say that I have been awaiting this moment for over thirty years.

NOAA researchers have been fomenting lies and distortions about climate from the moment they set foot in the place. At NOAA, they found an outlet to express the environmental radicalism that they absorbed in college classes and late-night bull sessions. The junk science that they cranked out has been used by mainstream media and cultural elites to perpetuate a panic about the weather and climate. It was a comical farce that they created, weaving tales about storms of biblical proportion due to a trace element in the atmosphere that happens to be the basis of all life.

The NOAA gig allowed researchers to show off their intellectual prowess and moral superiority, but it’s over now. Artsy communities like Asheville, where NOAA offices are located, will now have to contend with a flood of aspiring baristas as researchers try to find useful employment. As they stare wistfully out the window from behind the expresso maker at the faded lawn signs that read CLIMATE CHANGE IS REAL, they can think back with nostalgia on a time when the nation took them seriously.

“Most Powerful Weapons in the World” — Trump Says U.S. Has Secret Arsenal Unlike Anything Else on Earth

President Donald Trump declared that the United States possesses secret military weaponry far beyond anything the world has ever seen, according to Trump.

Speaking from the resolute Resolute Desk, Trump didn’t mince words, touting America’s unmatched military might while slamming decades of weak leadership for allowing adversaries like China to exploit the U.S. economically.

Trump:
I think we’ll end up making a very good deal for both. But we’ve been treated so badly for so many years. Again, we allowed that to happen. We’ve been treated so badly for so many years. But no, I don’t expect that. I think President Xi is one of the very smart people of the world, and I don’t think he’d allow that to happen.

And we’re very powerful. This country is very powerful. It’s far more powerful than people understand. We have weaponry that nobody has any idea what it is, and it is the most powerful weapons in the world that we have—more powerful than anybody—not even close. Nobody’s going to do that.

Trump extends Russia sanctions for 12 months

President Donald Trump has prolonged US sanctions on Russia for another year, based on the supposition that Moscow still poses a serious threat to the country’s national security.

Washington placed punitive restrictions on Russia after it absorbed Crimea following a referendum held in 2014, and later over Moscow’s alleged meddling in American elections. The sanctions were drastically expanded following the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in February 2022.

The latest extension approved by Trump and dated April 10, 2025, has been posted to the Federal Register’s website, announcing the “Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Specified Harmful Foreign Activities of the Government of the Russian Federation.”

It refers primarily to Executive Order 14024 signed by former President Joe Biden in April 2021 in response to an “unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy, and the economy of the United States” presumed to be posed by Russia.

Trump Announces End to Federal Funding for Sanctuary Cities

Sanctuary cities and jurisdictions will have federal funding withdrawn, according to President Trump, who has made these safe havens for illegal immigrants one of the major targets of his new mass-deportation and immigration-reform policies.

In a post on Truth Social on Thursday, President Trump called sanctuary jurisdictions “death traps.”

“No more Sanctuary Cities! They protect the Criminals, not the Victims,” Trump wrote.

“They are disgracing our Country, and are being mocked all over the World. Working on papers to withhold all Federal Funding for any City or State that allows these Death Traps to exist!!!”

There are around 220 sanctuary jurisdictions in the US today.

Sanctuary jurisdictions, which refuse to cooperate with federal immigration operations, were a major target during President Trump’s first term. He signed an executive order to withdraw federal grants from jurisdictions based on their immigration policies. In 2018, that order was blocked, before the block was overturned in 2020.

During the 2024 election campaign, President Trump promised that he would abolish sanctuary jurisdictions if elected.

Attorney General Pam Bondi targeted these jurisdictions immediately upon her confirmation, ordering federal funding to them to be paused and a full investigation of all funding agreements these jurisdictions have with NGOs that offer assistance to illegal aliens. She has also launched a number of lawsuits against sanctuary cities, including Chicago and New York.

At the end of March, Border Czar Tom Homan led a series of raids in the sanctuary state of Massachusetts, arresting nearly 400 illegal aliens, the majority of whom were criminals.

SICK: Wisconsin Teen Allegedly Murdered Parents in Deranged Plot to Assassinate President Trump and Overthrow U.S. Government

A horrifying case of domestic terror and political extremism has emerged from the heartland of America.

17-year-old Nikita Casap has been charged with two counts of first-degree intentional homicide after allegedly murdering his own mother and stepfather in a chilling plan that authorities say was part of a broader, delusional plot to assassinate former President Donald Trump and violently overthrow the U.S. government.

The Waukesha County Sheriff’s Department announced the charges in a March 27 press release, revealing that Casap also faces charges of hiding a corpse, misappropriating ID to obtain money, and theft of property over $10,000.

According to investigators, Casap reportedly concocted a deranged fantasy that involved killing his parents to gain financial independence and operational freedom to pursue an attack on Trump and launch an anti-government insurgency.

Authorities discovered the bodies of Tatiana Casap, 35, and Donald Mayer, 51, inside the family’s home after a welfare check was requested on February 28.

The gruesome discovery led to an extensive investigation that quickly identified Nikita Casap as a person of interest. He was initially taken into custody on auto theft charges before the homicide case was built.

According to ABC News, investigators are pursuing federal charges, including conspiracy, attempted presidential assassination, and the use of weapons of mass destruction.

According to a federal affidavit unsealed in the Eastern District of Wisconsin, the manifesto, authored by Casap under usernames “Awoken” and “accelerationist14,” detailed a plan to assassinate President Trump to ignite nationwide civil unrest, spark a race war, and “save the white race from Jewish control.”

The teen idolized Adolf Hitler and was affiliated with the Order of Nine Angles, a satanic, neo-Nazi terror network that advocates for the violent collapse of modern society.

A three-page manifesto titled “Accelerate the Collapse,” written days after the killings, included chilling instructions: manufacture bombs, assassinate “Jewish politicians and billionaires,” and unleash attacks across the U.S. to destabilize the country. In messages recovered from Casap’s devices, he communicated with international accomplices, sought explosives and drone weaponization kits, and asked about escaping to Ukraine after “the job” was done.

“There’ll never be a perfect revolutionary situation that springs up out of nowhere. We need to create a revolutionary situation ourselves. I do agree that only if terrorism is sustained over a period of time can it be effective,” the manifesto reads.

“In short, huge amounts of violence will be required. Long past are the days when we can vote for a Hitler to save us. It is time we stop waiting. The best day to commit an attack is today, the next best is tomorrow.“

“It is time that we lead the way to the System collapse. Do absolutely anything you can that will lead to the collapse of America or any other country you live in. This is the only way that we can save the White race. White Revolution is the only solution.”

The documents also reveal that Casap had planned multiple coordinated attacks and even discussed a propaganda campaign to glorify the violence.

One conversation explicitly asked an accomplice how long he would have to hide before being relocated to Ukraine. He even arranged to pay for an armed drone capable of dropping explosives and poisons.

‘We Give Israel $4B a Year – That’s a Lot’: Trump Tells Netanyahu He May Not Drop Tariffs

President Donald Trump on Monday told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the US might not drop its new 17% tariff on Israel because we “give [them] four billion dollars a year” and they’re “one of the highest” recipients of foreign aid.

When asked by a reporter if the US would reduce the new 17% tariff on Israeli goods, Trump responded: “Well, we’re talking about a whole new trade — maybe not, maybe not.”

“Now, don’t forget we help Israel a lot. You know, we give Israel $4 billion a year. That’s a lot. Congratulations, by the way. That’s pretty good,” Trump quipped. “But we give Israel billions of dollars a year. Billions. It’s one of the highest of any — we give a lot of countries money.”

The US not only gives Israel over $4 billion a year but also fights their wars (which in the case of the war in Iraq cost $2 trillion).

Israel’s not simply “one of the highest recipients” of foreign aid but the highest recipients of foreign aid — and it’s not even close. The aid money we give to Egypt is also a bribe to normalize relations with Israel.

Trump authorizes military to take control of federal land along southern border

President Trump issued a memorandum Friday authorizing the military to take control of federal lands along the southern border to combat illegal immigration and drug smuggling. 

“Our southern border is under attack from a variety of threats. The complexity of the current situation requires that our military take a more direct role in securing our southern border than in the recent past,” Trump wrote in the memo issued to Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Agricultural Secretary Brooke Rollins.

Trump directed his Cabinet members to “take all appropriate actions” to “provide for the use and jurisdiction by the Department of Defense” over federal lands “that are reasonably necessary to enable military activities directed in this memorandum.” 

The president listed “border-barrier construction and emplacement of detection and monitoring equipment” as the activities that the military will engage in along the US-Mexico border but later noted that Hegseth “may determine those military activities that are reasonably necessary and appropriate to accomplish the mission assigned.” 

The mission is to “defend the sovereignty and territorial integrity” of the US, as detailed in Trump’s Day One executive order on border security.

Another Day, Another Alleged Would-Be Trump Assassin Charged

Less than a week after a horrifying survey found more than half of self-identified leftists believe killing President Donald Trump would be justifiable, a Pennsylvania man has been charged with threatening to murder the president and other U.S. officials. 

Shawn Monper, 32, of Butler — the same Pennsylvania community where Trump came within a fraction of an inch of being assassinated last July — faces federal charges of making threats to assault and murder Trump, DOGE advisor and Tesla founder Elon Musk, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, and others, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. 

“I want to applaud the outstanding and courageous investigative work of the FBI and the Butler Township Police Department, who thankfully identified and apprehended this individual before he could carry out his threats against President Trump’s life and the lives of other innocent Americans,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi in a press release. 

Monper, who allegedly took to YouTube as “Mr. Satan,” made a series of threatening statements between Jan. 15 and last weekend, according to the criminal complaint. On Tuesday, the FBI National Threat Operations Section (NTOS) “received an emergency disclosure,” the Justice Department said. A subsequent federal investigation determined “Mr. Satan” was residing at Monper’s residence, according to the DOJ.

The IRS Isn’t Going Away, and This Is How We Know

As the 2024 campaign neared its send, candidate Donald Trump began promising that, if elected, he would support the elimination of income taxes. Shortly after he was sworn in, Trump then began saying he planned to abolish the Internal Revenue Service. The Trump team claimed in each case that it could raise enough tax revenue from tariffs to replace tax revenue from income taxes.

By March, however, Trump began backtracking, and his administration announced that the new goal was to eliminate income taxes for people making under $150,000 per year.

That last development on its own tells us that the IRS isn’t going away. If people making more than $150,000 are still going to pay income tax, then there will still be an IRS to which we’ll need to send tax returns to prove we’re not making more than $150,000.Raico, Ralph

But even if we ignore that problem, there are at least two other reasons why we can be sure the IRS isn’t going anywhere. The first way we know this is from the fact that the Trump administration is only talking about “abolishing” the progressive individual income tax. Administration mouthpieces have said nothing at all about getting rid of the income taxes known as “payroll taxes” that every wage earner pays.

The second way we know that the IRS isn’t going away is that taxes on imports—i.e., tariffs—simply aren’t going to bring in enough revenue to keep funding all the popular spending programs that Trump clearly has no interest in cutting.

Trump Says US Will Not Attend G20 in S. Africa Because of “Land Confiscation and Genocide” of White Farmers

The US will not attend the G20 meeting in South Africa, President Donald Trump has said, because of “land confiscation and genocide” of white farmers.

In a post on his social-media site Truth Social, the President blasted South Africa for its anti-white racism.

“How could we be expected to go to South Africa for the very important G20 Meeting when Land Confiscation and Genocide is the primary topic of conversation?” President Trump posted.

“They are taking the land of white Farmers, and then killing them and their families. The Media refuses to report on this. The United States has held back all contributions to South Africa. Is this where we want to be for the G20? I don’t think so!”

The G20 consists of 19 countries, as well as the African Union and European Union, together making up 80% of the global economy and two-thirds of the population.

South Africa will hold the presidency of the G20 until November 2025, when it will be handed over to the US, at the next summit, in Johannesburg.

The decision to boycott the G20 in South Africa was first announced in February, when Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced he would not be attending any meetings and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he had commitments in Washington that would prevent him from attending a meeting of finance ministers.

Secretary Rubio said he would not “coddle anti-Americanism.”

In a stunning reversal of official policy and in the face of widespread media denials, the Trump administration has drawn attention to the plight of white South Africans under the post-Apartheid regime and even set up a refugee program for them to settle in the US.

At the beginning of February, President Trump signed an Executive Order creating a new pathway to settlement in the US for white South Africans.
