America’s Drug War Is Having An Impact

Posted on by

On Saturday, Breitbart posted an article about a drug seizure in southern Mexico.

The article reports:

A recent cocaine seizure in southern Mexico points to a new trend as traffickers have increased land smuggling operations in response to the aggressive interdiction actions taken by the U.S. government, which have sunk numerous vessels in international waters.

The seizure took place this week in the southern Mexican border city of Tapachula, Chiapas, when Mexican federal authorities seized 202 bricks of cocaine hidden in a late model Jeep Patriot. According to information provided to Breitbart Texas by Mexico’s government, military forces intercepted the vehicle, and during a search, they found a series of hidden compartments with multiple bricks of cocaine. Authorities then arrested the driver and turned him over to federal investigators for prosecution.

While cocaine shipments hidden in vehicle compartments are commonplace in the border crossings between Mexico and the United States, they are rare in the country’s southern border. This is due to the fact that traditionally, drug cartels would routinely receive multi-ton shipments of cocaine by sea from Central and South American traffickers.

Breitbart Texas has reported extensively on this tactic, where small speedboats would pull up to Mexico’s western coast, dropping off drug shipments that were then eventually moved by land to Mexico’s northern border.

The article notes that the increase in land shipments is a direct result of America’s policy of sinking drug boats in the waters off Mexico and South America.

A Good Dog Doing His Job

Posted on by

On Tuesday, Breitbart posted an article about a police dog named Pub.

The article reports:

A police dog named “Pub” helped two federal agents sniff out two massive cash seizures amounting to nearly $75,000 in undeclared cash in the first quarter of 2026.

Pub, a Belgian Malinois trained to find currency and firearms, alerted Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) agents to a hidden stash of $44,432 in February and another pile worth $30,417 in March.

The Belgian Malinois found 20 percent of the total undeclared cash discovered at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in the first quarter of the year. The larger sum was bound for Qatar, while the second was due for El Salvador.

Agents reportedly said they gave the suspects with undeclared cash “multiple opportunities” to confess before searching their belongings.

“Currency enforcement operations focus on detecting unreported and bulk currency smuggling, which has been shown to be proceeds of illicit activity, such as from narcotics and human smuggling, and fraud and other financial crimes that prey on our nation’s most vulnerable citizens,” CBP said in a release.

I did not realize that dogs could be trained to sniff out currency! Notice that the money was headed to Qatar and El Salvador. It would be interesting to know the source and destination of that money.

Exactly What Was America Asking Of Iran?

Posted on by

On Sunday, Breitbart posted an article about the failed negotiations with Iran. The article notes that there were six key items that America was asking for that were refused by Iran.

These are the six items:

1. Ending all uranium enrichment

2. Dismantling all major nuclear enrichment facilities

3. Allowing for the retrieval of highly enriched uranium

4. Accepting a broader peace, security, and de-escalation framework that includes regional allies

5. Ending funding for terrorist proxies Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis

6. Fully opening the Strait of Hormuz, charging no tolls for passage

These are not unreasonable demands, but they are totally against Iran’s current and future plans. A nuclear Iran would have the perfect blackmail weapon to use against Europe and America. That is exactly what President Trump has avoided.

Breitbart reports:

Vance understood, upon entering the discussions, that there was potential for enormous distrust and misperception, given that the United States and Iran have had minimal interaction over the past 50 or so years, according to an official.

…While he left without a deal, Vance proposed what the official said was the best and final offer, which the vice president believes Iran should find acceptable.

Vance also found that Iran’s delegation had a fundamental misunderstanding of its lack of leverage when it entered the talks, per the official, who stressed that a deal cannot be reached as long as the Iranians believe they hold leverage they do not actually have. The misconception among Iranians about leverage factored into Vance leaving Pakistan after giving them the final offer, with the official noting that they need to understand the assumptions they had upon entering talks are not supported by realities on the ground.

Accepting this reality is key before they will be ready to entertain a serious offer, per the official.

The official stressed that it is up to the Iranians to accept the offer, and that Vance is hopeful that, after reflection in the days ahead, his counterparties will come to realize his final offer is in the best interest of both sides.

“We leave here with a very simple proposal, a method of understanding that is our final and best offer. We’ll see if the Iranians accept it,” Vance notably said Saturday night, Eastern time.

The official noted to Breitbart News that the U.S. national security team has developed a plan to break Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz after discussions with President Donald Trump.

Avoiding Ground Troops

Posted on by

On Tuesday, Breitbart posted an article about a recent bombing attack on Iran.

The article reports:

The recent massive U.S. strike near Iran’s central city of Isfahan likely sought to render Tehran’s remaining highly enriched uranium stockpile inaccessible by burying it deep underground — a strategy that would negate the need for a prolonged and risky U.S. ground operation to extract the material, according to an Israeli military analyst writing Tuesday.

Writing in Ynet on Tuesday, Israeli military analyst Ron Ben-Yishai — a veteran Yediot Ahronot correspondent and Israel Prize recipient — assessed that the strike reflects a deliberate U.S. effort to neutralize Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile by entombing it beneath rock, soil, and collapsed tunnel infrastructure rather than attempting to remove it by force.

The article notes:

Ben-Yishai said recent discussions had centered on two possible ways of addressing the stockpile: a ground operation to extract it from Iran or a negotiated arrangement under which Tehran would transfer it abroad.

He suggested the first option would be extraordinarily difficult.

A ground operation, he wrote, would likely require more than 1,000 troops, the establishment of airstrips at sites such as Natanz and Isfahan to sustain the force, and heavy engineering equipment capable of opening sealed tunnels — all while exposing U.S. personnel to casualties and requiring a sustained American military presence inside Iran.

The alternative, he argued, is to neutralize the uranium by burying it so thoroughly that Iran would need at least a year to locate and recover it, buying the United States and Israel time to detect and disrupt any such effort.

In Ben-Yishai’s telling, that appears to be the course Washington chose.

“It can be assessed with reasonable confidence,” he wrote, that the United States opted to bury the material rather than attempt a ground extraction or rely on Iranian cooperation. He said U.S. forces struck the area surrounding the uranium storage site at Natanz in March and likely carried out a similar operation overnight in Isfahan.

The article concludes:

Most importantly, Ben-Yishai wrote, U.S. operational activity points to a decision to bury the enriched material rather than undertake the kind of prolonged ground mission that would have required a sustained American military presence on Iranian soil.

That, he suggested, may be precisely why Trump chose to publicize the footage.

Trump has also suggested the broader campaign may be nearing its conclusion, saying Tuesday the United States is “ahead of schedule” and has largely eliminated Iran’s military capabilities, adding in separate remarks that “we won’t have to be there much longer” as U.S. forces continue targeting what remains of Tehran’s offensive infrastructure.

I don’t want to see  American ground troops in Iran. Hopefully we can destroy enough of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard and police force to allow the Iranians to take back their country. I have no idea who the next leader of Iran should be, but it needs to be someone who promotes freedom for everyone.

Good Work By The Paris Police

Posted on by

On Saturday, Breitbart posted an article about an attempted terrorist attack in Paris.

The article reports:

A teenage migrant from Senegal has reportedly been arrested for allegedly attempting to set off a homemade bomb outside of a Bank of America building in central Paris.

At around 3:30 am in the early hours of Saturday morning, police officers from the anti-crime brigade (BAC) force thwarted an apparent terror attack attempt on La Boétie in the 8th arrondissement of the French capital.

According to information obtained by Le Figaro, a hooded figure stood outside the Bank of America branch, attempting to use a lighter to set fire to a mortar-style firecracker fuse attached to a five-litre container holding an unidentified liquid, which is believed to have been a hydrocarbon.

Fortunately, before the fire could catch, the would-be terrorist was foiled by BAC officers.

The French paper of record further reported that the 17-year-old suspect was born in the West African nation of Senegal before migrating to France. He is said to currently reside in the notorious multicultural Parisian suburb of Seine-Saint-Denis, which was named in a recent report as containing the most dangerous “no-go zone” in all of Europe.

The suspect is said to have told police that he did not work alone, and that he and an accomplice (who fled the scene) had in fact been recruited over the Snapchat messaging app with the promise of 600 euros. A third person is also said to have driven the pair to the site of the attack.

This illustrates the danger of immigration without assimilation. The young man was recruited in a “no-go zone” and offered money for the attack. He has no allegiance to France and obviously needed money (600 euros is worth approximately $700 in American money).

The article notes:

Commenting on the attempted attack, French Interior Minister Laurent Nunẽz said on Saturday: “Bravo for the swift intervention of a prefecture of police crew that made it possible to thwart a violent action of a terrorist nature last night in Paris

“Vigilance remains more than ever at a high level. I congratulate all the security and intelligence forces fully mobilised under my authority in the international context that we know.”

It comes amid heightened concern accross Europe of potential terror attacks, particularly targeting Jewish and American institutions throughout the continent in revenge attacks over the conflict in Iran.

Multiple Jewish sites have been attacked in recent weeks, including in Belgium, London, and the Netherlands. A group calling itself the Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia (HAYI/Islamic Movement of the Companions of the Right) have claimed responsibility, and cited the military operation in Iran as their motivating factor.

Even after the terrorist government of Iran is defeated, there will still be isolated terrorists around the world. The difference will be that they will have to search harder for their financial support.

The Impact Of Immigration Without Assimilation

Posted on by

On Thursday, Breitbart posted an article about the number of ‘no-go zones’ in Europe. The number is estimated to be between 900 and 1,000. A ‘no-go zone’ is an area where local law enforcement is weakened and crime rates tend to be high. In Sweden, the Post Office will no longer deliver mail to certain ‘no-go zones.’

The article reports:

Authored by Maxime Hemery-Aymar, of France’s Observatory of Immigration and Demography (OID), it directly linked the mass migration and open borders agendas to high-crime areas, the breakdown of social norms, and even the fostering of Islamist terrorism.

Indeed, the think tank found that 63 per cent of Islamist terror attacks in Europe between 2010 and 2025 had a “verified link” to an identified no-go zone.

“So-called ‘sensitive neighbourhoods’ in Europe remain fertile grounds where such vulnerabilities can be exploited: community withdrawal, perceived exclusion, and petty crime create a conducive context that jihadist recruiters know how to leverage,” the report stated.

The report found a “strong correlation between demographic composition and spatial dysfunction,” stating that identified no-go zones had an average of 40 per cent foreign-born populations, compared to the EU average of 20 per cent and the EU urban average of 30 per cent.

“Therefore, the share of the foreign-born population in the studied no-go zones is more than 100% higher than in the rest of the EU,” the report noted.

The article notes:

Left-wing do-good efforts also appear to be correlated with the rise of no-go zones. Government housing programmes aimed at low-income migrants are actually creating more divides within societies, given that immigrants are “disproportionately confined to the limited social housing stock,” rather than being spread out across the country, the report claimed.

To remedy the situation, the think tank argued for significant immigration reform, particularly of family reunification, otherwise known as chain migration, which has been a chief driver of immigration in recent years. The report also called for increased deportations, stricter limits on residency and citizenship, as well as coordinated investment in policing to restore order, and incentives to see natives return to their cities.

Presenting the report to the EU Parliament this week, President of New Direction and the co-chairman of the European Conservatives and Reformists Group (ECR) group, Nicola Procaccini, said that “if we allow these enclaves to grow, we are not just losing our streets, but also the very values of freedom and equality that define our civilisation.”

The answer to the problem is to encourage assimilation. If someone does not want to assimilate, they need to go somewhere that is compatible to their cultural norms. If you come to a western country, you need to be willing to live within the culture of the country,

Better Late Than Never

On Saturday, Breitbart posted an article about the efforts to secure the Strait of Hormuz.

The article reports:

More than 20 nations spanning from Asia to Europe to the Gulf have expressed a “readiness to contribute” to the effort of opening up the Strait of Hormuz amid threats to ships by the Islamist regime in Iran.

They should contribute. They are the countries getting the oil. Only a fraction of the oil that America uses goes through the Strait of Hormuz. Almost all of the oil that goes through goes to Europe, China, and places other than America. The closing of the Strait does affect America because of the impact on world oil prices, but it does not create a fuel shortage in America.

The article notes:

In a joint statement released on Saturday morning, the nations of Australia, Bahrain, Canada, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Republic of Korea, Romania, Slovenia, Sweden, United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom condemned in the “strongest terms” the recent attacks by Iran against unarmed, civilian shipping vessels, its attacks on oil and gas infrastructure throughout the Gulf, and its move to shut down traffic in the Strait of Hormuz.

“We express our deep concern about the escalating conflict. We call on Iran to cease immediately its threats, laying of mines, drone and missile attacks and other attempts to block the Strait to commercial shipping, and to comply with UN Security Council Resolution 2817,” the group of nations said.

“Freedom of navigation is a fundamental principle of international law, including under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. The effects of Iran’s actions will be felt by people in all parts of the world, especially the most vulnerable.”

“We emphasise that such interference with international shipping and the disruption of global energy supply chains constitute a threat to international peace and security. In this regard, we call for an immediate comprehensive moratorium on attacks on civilian infrastructure, including oil and gas installations,” they continued.

“We express our readiness to contribute to appropriate efforts to ensure safe passage through the Strait. We welcome the commitment of nations who are engaging in preparatory planning.”

The heavy lifting has already been done by America and Israel, but the people affected by the closing of the Strait need to be part of the actions needed to reopen the Strait.

When Charity Funds Go Missing

Posted on by

Dolly Parton is known for starting a literacy program for children. She began her Imagination Library, a book gifting program that mails high-quality, free books to more than 3 million children around the world each month, in 1995. 

On Saturday, Breitbart reported: 

California’s top librarian is accused of failing to produce $650,000 in missing funds linked to a literacy program started by country music star Dolly Parton in east Tennessee in 1995.

State legislators recently pelted Greg Lucas, the leader of the California State Library, with questions about the funds during a budget hearing on education, the New York Post reported on Friday.

…During the hearing, state Sen. Shannon Grove (R) told Lucas he did not have documentation to show where the money went.

She then asked point blank, “Where’s the money?”

Lucas was appointed to lead the state library in 2014 by former Gov. Jerry Brown, ABC 10 reported.

The article concludes:

Legislation for a statewide version of the program through the state library was signed into law in 2022 with the approval of over $68 million in state funding for the books. The Post noted that “Lawmakers allowed up to 10% — about $6.8 million — for administrative costs and set a goal of enrolling roughly 65% of eligible California children within five years.”

However, when the program stalled for a couple of years the state library entered a $19.2 million contract in late 2024 with Strong Reader Partnership, a nonprofit group that was closed down in September. It received over $4.8 million from the state with $4 million shifted to a money market account.

The nonprofit said it spent about $1.2 million but bank statements reportedly showed over $500,000 in expenses. Now, lawmakers claim nearly $650,000 is missing and Lucas has said he will get answers for officials.

In regard to the lack of documentation, Grove told Lucas in a budget meeting, “You don’t have receipts requested six times. You don’t have bank statements requested six times from this committee. … That makes no sense, and that reeks of horrific no transparency and potential fraud.”

This could simply be a case of missing receipts, but unfortunately, California does not have a great record in preventing fraud in government programs.

Ignorance Or Simply Supporting The Narrative?

Posted on by

On Sunday, Breitbart posted an article about Senator Mark Warner’s recent comments about America’s attack on Iran.

The article reports:

Warner said, “Americans are paying $122 million a day extra in gas coming right out of their pockets, that, combined with the declining job numbers, that combined with the stock market crashing, going into this war without I don’t feel like the appropriate preparation or having made the case the American public, I think we’ve got a lot of explaining to do. We don’t know how long Iran will last. The notion and I heard the general earlier, I think we are attiring some of their forces, but we still don’t know whether those ballistic missiles are being totally eliminated or they’re just being hidden. And my fear is that we are running down on the munitions that intercepts the missiles.”

He added, “I really do feel like when we’ve got America’s interest, when we’ve got dead service members, that we’ve not made the case, that the President has not made the case, that this was an imminent threat, and we don’t know where this is going to end up, I think on a war of choice, I think he chose the wrong time. And frankly, one of the things that I would point out, the president said to the Iranian people to rise up. What happens if 200,000 Iranians protest in Tehran and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard then massacres 20, 30, 40,000 of them? Will we have an obligation then to put troops on the ground?”

There are a few things to remember here. Iran stated in the negotiations preceding the war that under no circumstances would it end its nuclear enrichment program. Do you really want people who have been shouting ‘death to America’ for 47 years to have a nuclear weapon? Israel has already discovered a nuclear site that had not been previously destroyed. How much damage to American troops has Iran done in the past 47 years? Who is the world’s greatest funder of terror around the world? In a world where terrorism is no longer confined to one area of the globe, did America and Israel have a choice other than to go now–before Iran had an atomic bomb and a delivery system?

The Next In Line?

Posted on by

The future of Iran is uncertain. Although the people were protesting in the streets recently, we don’t know if there is enough unity in the country to form a cohesive government. There are a lot of Iranian ex-patriots around the world celebrating the fall of the regime, but the regime has already named its successor. One of the ex-patriot voices is that of Reza Pahlavi, the exiled crown prince of Iran. His father was a dictator who did horrible things to those that opposed him, despite moving the country closer to western ideas. The Prince is making noises as if he wants freedom, but he is in ‘campaign mode’ at this time.

On Saturday, Breitbart reported:

The son of the last Shah of Iran, Reza Pahlavi, called on the country’s military, police, and security forces to abandon the “crumbling” Islamist regime of the Ayatollah amid U.S. and Israeli strikes on Saturday.

“Decisive moments lie before us,” the exiled crown prince of Iran said amid a major military operation launched in the early hours of Saturday by U.S. President Donald Trump in conjunction with Israeli forces targeting the rogue nation’s missile programme and leadership apparatus.

In a statement on social media, Reza Pahlavi said that the military operation initiated by President Trump should be seen as a “humanitarian intervention” targeting the Islamist regime —  “and its machinery of killing” —  rather than a strike on the country and people of Iran.

“However, despite the arrival of this assistance, the final victory will still be achieved by us. It is we, the people of Iran, who will finish this task in this final battle. The time to return to the streets is approaching,” he said.

Pahlavi, who has lived in the United States since 1978, shortly after which his father, the last Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, was deposed in an Islamist revolution led by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, called on the Iranian military, law enforcement, and security services to abandon the “collapsing” regime.

“You have sworn an oath to protect Iran and the Iranian nation, not the Islamic Republic and its leaders. Your duty is to defend the people, not to defend a regime that has taken our homeland hostage through repression and crime. Join the nation and help ensure a stable and secure transition. Otherwise, you will sink with Khamenei’s ship and his crumbling regime.”

The hope is that because he has lived in America for so long, Reza Pahlavi understands the value of freedom and can bring freedom to his home country.

The Taliban’s New Laws

Posted on by

Hibatullah Akhundzada, the leader of the Taliban in Afghanistan has approved a new criminal code for the country.

On Thursday, Breitbart reported:

According to the Times of India, the latest affront to human rights from the Taliban is the publication of a 90-page criminal code, issued as an edict recently, likely in late January. No evidence suggests any public participation in the drafting of the code or legislative debate by certified lawmakers prior to its imposition.

Citing the British outlet The Independent, the Indian newspaper noted that the code includes the creation of “free” and “slave” categories of Afghanis and different legal punishments for criminals in each category. While it does not explicitly list all women in the country as “slaves,” certain provisions in the criminal code for women appear to treat them as separate from free citizens.

The code reportedly states explicitly that men can beat women and children in their homes, but only if they do not break their bones or cause extreme bodily harm. The code also effectively strips women of the right to accuse men of extreme physical abuse, as it both requires and bans women from showing the parts of their bodies harmed.

“They [women] are required to prove they have suffered serious bodily harm by showing their wounds to the judge, while at the same time being required to remain fully covered,” the Independent explained. “They are also required to be accompanied to the court by their husband or male chaperone (mahram) — even though the majority of offenders in such cases are the husbands themselves.”

The maximum sentence for a man found guilty of extreme physical abuse is 15 days in prison in the new code. For comparison, a woman accused of breaking the law by visiting her family without permission from her husband can be imprisoned for up to three months; no exceptions are made for women fleeing domestic violence.

This Bill Could Save Lives

Posted on by

On Sunday, Breitbart posted an article about a bill that the West Virginia Senate passed on Friday.

The article reports:

State senators in West Virginia passed a bill on Friday that would outlaw sending abortion pills into the state.

Lawmakers approved Senate Bill 173 with a vote of 31 to 1 and two members absent, West Virginia Watch reported. 

West Virginia has a near-total abortion restriction and also bans abortion via telemedicine. Senate Bill 173 is designed to close a loophole in state law enabling out-of-state organizations and abortionists to mail abortion pills to people in the state.

The bill’s lead sponsor, state Sen. Chris Rose (R), said the bill would show “bad actors” that West Virginia will not tolerate those who shirk the state’s laws protecting unborn babies, according to the report.

“We will fight from the womb to the tomb to preserve every human being,” Rose said. “And we will defend the constitutional rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness even for the unborn.” 

Under the bill, non-medical professionals could face three to ten years behind bars for the felony charge of sending abortion drugs by mail to a person in West Virginia. A medical professional who does so would face losing their license, according to the report.

The bill contains an exception for physicians who prescribe the drugs for other legitimate medical reasons besides abortion, per the report.

Lawmakers approved at least two amendments to the bill, including one from state Sen. Eric Tarr (R) that would require the state attorney general’s office to report how many lawsuits are filed on behalf of women who use the abortion drugs.

The bill now goes to the House of Delegates.

The danger of obtaining mifepristone, the abortion drug, through the mail is that the drug can have complications if used for abortion. If there is not a doctor on site supervising, using the drug could be fatal.

According to PubMed:

Methods: Adverse Event Reports (AERs) for mifepristone used as an abortifacient, submitted to the FDA from September 2000 to February 2019, were analyzed using the National Cancer Institute’s Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAEv3).

Results: The FDA provided 6158 pages of AERs. Duplicates, non-US, or AERs previously published (Gary, 2006) were excluded. Of the remaining, there were 3197 unique, US-only AERs of which there were 537 (16.80%) with insufficient information to determine clinical severity, leaving 2660 (83.20%) Codable US AERs. (Figure 1). Of these, 20 were Deaths, 529 were Life-threatening, 1957 were Severe, 151 were Moderate, and 3 were Mild.

The deaths included: 9 (45.00%) sepsis, 4 (20.00%) drug toxicity/overdose, 1 (5.00%) ruptured ectopic pregnancy, 1 (5.00%) hemorrhage, 3 (15.00%) possible homicides, 1 (5.00%) suicide, 1 (5.00%) unknown. (Table 1).

Retained products of conception and hemorrhage caused most morbidity. There were 75 ectopic pregnancies, including 26 ruptured ectopics (includes one death).

There were 2243 surgeries including 2146 (95.68%) D&Cs of which only 853 (39.75%) were performed by abortion providers.

Of 452 patients with ongoing pregnancies, 102 (22.57%) chose to keep their baby, 148 (32.74%) had terminations, 1 (0.22%) miscarried, and 201 (44.47%) had unknown outcomes.

Hemorrhage occurred more often in those who took mifepristone and misoprostol (51.44%) than in those who took mifepristone alone (22.41%).

Conclusions: Significant morbidity and mortality have occurred following the use of mifepristone as an abortifacient. A pre-abortion ultrasound should be required to rule out ectopic pregnancy and confirm gestational age. The FDA AER system is inadequate and significantly underestimates the adverse events from mifepristone.

Ending a baby’s life is not an acceptable practice, and with mifepristone, it could end your life as well.

Politics Over American Citizens

Posted on by

The February 2023 rail disaster in East Palestine, Ohio, left a chemical mess. There were things that should have been in place that could have prevented that disaster. There was (and still is) an effort to put regulations in place that would prevent such a disaster from happening again. Those measures were put forth by J.D. Vance when he was in the Senate and being discussed again. Mike Pence (supported by wealthy donors), who plans on opposing J.D. Vance for the Presidential nomination in 2028, is speaking out against the regulations.

On Friday, Breitbart reported:

Mike Pence is siding with wealthy donors over victims of the East Palestine, Ohio, rail disaster, earning a cacophony of outrage from conservatives and prominent MAGA voices.

Pence, who like Democrats reflexively opposes Trump on issue after issue as he woos establishment corporate donors to enrich himself through his non-profit and stake a claim in the narrowing establishment lane for the 2028 Republican nomination, is fighting a bill first championed by then-Ohio Sen. JD Vance — and Pence’s likely 2028 primary opponent — to implement safety regulations for trains carrying hazardous materials.

The article quotes the Daily Wire:

One of the groups opposing the bill is Mike Pence’s Advancing American Freedom — a fact seen as a net positive by those in Trump world who want the bill to finally advance. If the former vice president opposes something, it only makes it more of a priority for Trump’s White House, one senior official told The Daily Wire.

“Anyone that wants the Trump administration to support a piece of legislation should pay Mike Pence’s think tank and its lobbying arm to oppose it,” the senior White House official told The Daily Wire.

The article concludes:

David Freeman used his popular X account Gunther Eagleman to accuse Pence of selling out to lobbyists.

“THREE YEARS after the toxic TRAIN DISASTER in East Palestine that poisoned American families… MIKE PENCE and his globalist think tank are now LEADING the charge to BLOCK Trump’s rail safety bill! Never Trump RINOs NEVER change, they ALWAYS sell out hardworking Americans to Big Rail lobbyists,” he posted. “Trump and JD Vance are fighting for Americans, Pence is fighting AGAINST Americans. Disgraceful. Traitorous. EXACTLY why we dumped him.”

…The battle for the Railway Safety Act continues on Capitol Hill, and Trump and Vance remain steadfast supporters. Time will tell if Congress sides with the innocent people of East Palestine or Pence and the cabal of corporate lobbyists fighting for the dangerous but lucrative status quo.

Mike Pence believes that Donald Trump should never be President. I believe that Mike Pence should never again have political power in Washington.

When Common Sense Takes A Vacation

How stupid does Chuck Schumer think we are?

On Thursday, Breitbart posted an article quoting some of Senator Schumer’s recent comments on the Save Act.

The article notes:

Schumer said, “It’s Jim Crow 2.0, and I called it Jim Crow 2.0, and the right wing went nuts all over the Internet. That’s because they know it’s true. What they’re trying to do here is the same thing that was done in the South for decades to prevent people of color from voting. For instance, if you change — you’re a woman who got married and changed your last name, you won’t be able to show ID and you’ll be discriminated against. If you can’t find a birth certificate, or a proper ID, you’ll be discriminated against. This is vicious and nasty. And I said to our Republican colleagues, it will not pass the Senate. You will not get a single Democratic vote in the Senate. We’re not reviving Jim Crow all over the country. And when the American people hear what exactly it is doing and what its intent is doing, they’re going to be against it as well.”

Since the majority of women who support the Democrat party are single, what’s the problem? Does Senator Schumer really believe that American women are so stupid that they can’t get a new driver’s license or social security card when they get married? I had no problem getting a real id as a married woman. I simply brought my birth certificate, my current driver’s license, etc., and promptly got my id. I think American women should be totally insulted that a U.S. Senator thinks that they are that stupid.

This Is Not Really A Surprise

On Monday, Breitbart reported that the United Nations (UN) is running out of money. Does this  mean we can kick them out of New York City for not paying their rent?

The article reports:

The United Nations is going broke and needs member nations to stump up cash. Lots of it. That is the plea from Secretary-General António Guterres who fears the globalist body is at risk of “imminent financial collapse” due to member states not paying their fees.

The former leader of the Portuguese Socialist Party said Friday the U.N. faces a financial crisis which was “deepening, threatening programme delivery” and money could run out as soon as July leaving the unaccountable globalist cabal destitute.

…Guterres sent a missive to all 193 member states outlining his fears and pleading they had to honor their mandatory payments or overhaul the organisation’s financial rules to avoid collapse.

It comes after the U.N.’s largest contributor, the U.S., refused to contribute to its regular and peacekeeping budgets and withdrew from several agencies it called a “waste of taxpayer dollars.”

These include the U.N.’s population agency and the U.N. treaty that establishes international climate negotiations, AP reports.

The article concludes:

Guterres said a rule that the U.N. must return unspent money on particular programs to members if it could not implement a budget created a “double blow” in which it was “expected to give back cash that does not exist.”

“I cannot overstate the urgency of the situation we now face. We cannot execute budgets with uncollected funds, nor return funds we never received.”

The U.S. is the U.N.’s largest contributor, but President Donald Trump has said it was not fulfilling its “great potential” and has criticised it for failing to support U.S.-led peace efforts.

The U.S. did not pay its contribution to the U.N.’s regular budget in 2025 and offered only 30 percent of its expected funding to U.N. peacekeeping operations.

Then in January last year, Trump withdrew it from dozens of international organisations, including 31 U.N. agencies, to “end American taxpayer funding and involvement in entities that advance globalist agendas over U.S. priorities.”

The U.N.s thirst for other people’s money appears inexhaustible as it still cries out for more.

Life gets difficult when America’s taxpayers refuse to pay for everyone else’s priorities!

The Real Cost Of Illegal Immigration

Posted on by

The people getting upset over U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) enforcing the law have chosen to overlook what happens when ICE does not enforce the law.

On Monday, Breitbart reported:

The office of the Tennessee District Attorneys General Conference has released its annual state immigration report revealing that in 2025, illegal migrants committed 2,183 violent offenses, including 41 homicides, 145 sexual offenses, 11 child rapes, and more.

Republican State Rep. Dan Howell said he was shocked by the report and called the data “really, really bad.”

“These are the criminals liberals want to defend while trying to defund ICE,” he pointed out.

“Forty-one Tennesseeans are dead at the hands of illegal immigrants and hundreds raped. This will not be tolerated in this great state and we will do more to keep you safe,” Howell added. (emphasis original)

The “2025 Immigration Report” released on January 30 is a required (TN Code § 4-1-425 2024) annual report from the state’s district attorneys general conference. The law directs them to “collect and analyze data from law enforcement agencies on the number of persons not lawfully present in the United States charged or convicted of a criminal offense in this state during the previous year.”

The article notes:

The categories of crimes revealed a shocking toll suffered by the state’s citizens at the hands of illegal migrants.

Among the categories of crime, the report includes:

    • 2,183 violent offenses
    • 41 homicides
    • 1,592 assaults
    • 145 sexual offenses
    • 11 child rapes
    • 40 aggravated kidnappings
    • 2,920 DUIs
    • 5,318 cases of driving without a license or on suspended/or revoked
    • 966 Carjackings
    • 36 Felony firearms offenses
    • 66 Assaults on police or first responders

The “2025 Immigration Report” is now the second such report in compliance with the state law. The 2024 report, the first of its kind, collected data from only 73 of the state’s 95 counties and found that 2,719 non-citizens had been charged with crimes.

Are these the people you want to keep in our country? Are the people protesting ICE willing to have these people living in their neighborhoods? Where were the protesters when Martha’s Vineyard threw the illegal aliens out in less than 24 hours?

Actions Have Consequences

Posted on by

On Friday, Breitbart posted an article about the arrest of Don Lemon for his actions inside a Minnesota Church last weekend.

The article includes a statement by Don Lemon’s lawyer:

Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy award. Don has been a journalist for 30 years, and his constitutionally protected work in Minneapolis was no different than what he has always done. The First Amendment exists to protect journalists whose role it is to shine light on the truth and hold those in power accountable.

Instead of investigating the federal agents who killed two peaceful Minnesota protesters, the Trump Justice Department is devoting its time, attention and resources to this arrest, and that is the real indictment of wrongdoing in this case. This unprecedented attack on the First Amendment and transparent attempt to distract attention from the many crises facing this administration will not stand. Don will fight these charges vigorously and thoroughly in court.

What about Don Lemon’s attack on the First Amendment rights of the people in the church? It has been reported that the rioters prevented the church members from getting to their children to remove them from the chaos. That is not a protest–that is terrorizing children.

The article concludes:

A Department of Justice attempt to arrest Lemon last week was foiled by an appellate court in the U.S. District Court in Minnesota that refused to sign off on the arrest warrant. Per CBS, this arrest warrant was the result of a grand jury indictment.

Do you want ‘protesters’ coming into your church and creating havoc? There are laws against that, and Don Lemon broke those laws.

More Government Fraud

Posted on by

On Tuesday, Breitbart posted an article about a government program that has provided phone and internet services for more than 116,000 dead people. Why has it taken this long to uncover massive fraud in many areas of government spending? What have Congress and the Inspectors General been doing with their time?

The article reports:

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr announced Tuesday that the agency will vote next month on proposals to remove fraud from the Lifeline program, which provided taxpayer dollars to pay for phone and internet services for more than 116,000 dead people.

“If the government is going to spend your hard earned dollars, it must ensure that they go only to living and lawful Americans,” Carr wrote on X.

Carr’s announcement followed a report from the Federal Communications Commission Office of Inspector General (FCC OIG), which found startling levels of fraud in the program. Congress and the FCC established the Lifeline program to help low-income Americans receive affordable communications service, which may include voice and broadband services and is paid out of the Universal Service Fund (USF).

The fraud includes “at least 16,774, and potentially as many as 39,362, deceased people, [who] were first enrolled and then claimed by a provider after they died (i.e. they were deceased at the time of enrollment.)”

Carr wrote that it may seem “obvious” to ensure that taxpayer dollars go to lawful Americans; however, he cautioned that the inspector general report found startling fraud within the Lifeline program:

1. A new Inspector General advisory found that providers took nearly $5 million in federal dollars to provide phone and Internet service to over 116,000 dead people.  And this IG advisory looked at just three states.

2. Gavin Newsom’s California was by far the worst offender of these opt-out states. On Governor Newsom’s watch, California allowed over 94,000 dead people to be used to obtain federal dollars for phone and Internet service.  The FCC recently revoked California’s authority to run its own verification process.

3. The FCC’s federal Lifeline program, which spends nearly $1 billion every year, does not have adequate checks in place to ensure that only lawful beneficiaries obtain those subsidies. There has been a recent rise in non-citizens fraudulently obtaining social security numbers. And the current verification process does not do a good enough job at preventing duplicative subscriptions and similar abuse.

The article concludes:

Carr warned that current agency regulations do not ensure that these federal dollars only go to American citizens, noting there has been a rise in non-citizens fraudulently obtaining social security numbers.

“So the FCC will be voting on a plan to address all of these issues. Your hard-earned dollars should only be going to those households that Congress intended to benefit,” Carr said in a statement.

Dead people and non-citizens should not be receiving tax dollars!

This Might Be Part Of The Problem

Posted on by

On Thursday, Breitbart posted an article illustrating part of the reason for the crime problem in America.

The article reports:

A Democrat judge has released a Chicago man with 57 prior arrests after he pleaded guilty to using a metal bar to smash a man’s jaw in a sneak attack.

The suspect, Pierre Thorne, 32, was charged after a December 8, 2022, attack on a 53-year-old man in Chicago’s downtown Loop area. Thorne reportedly used a metal pipe to attack the man from behind, CWBChicago reported.

…In addition to the shattered jaw, the victim lost several teeth, suffered multiple facial fractures, had damage to his nose, lacerations to his face and scalp, and an abrasion to his left eye. The victim also required several constructive surgeries, but his face is permanently disfigured.

Investigators tracked the attacker using surveillance footage in the area leading the Chicago Police to identify Thorne as the chief suspect in the case.

Prosecutors noted that Thorne had a long arrest record and had been arrested and released 57 times by the time he reached 30 years of age. He also had several misdemeanor convictions, many of which were for violent attacks.

The article concludes:

Thorne has now pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated battery causing great bodily harm in the pipe attack case. Despite this, he will serve no prison time.

Left-wing Cook County Circuit Judge Joanne Rosado sentenced him to four years in prison, but because he was handed a 752-day credit for time served and given a 50 percent sentence reduction, he will be set free to wreck havoc in the city once again.

Do you want this man walking around free in your city?

Bringing Back Common-Sense Guidelines

Posted on by

On Monday, Breitbart posted an article reporting that President Trump has cancelled a Biden-era rule requiring banks to ignore immigration status for loan applications.

The article reports:

On Monday, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Justice Department eliminated the Biden guidelines that ordered lenders not to consider immigration status when evaluating loan and credit applications, a rule that had major implications for mortgages, credit cards, and auto loans, Bloomberg reported.

The Biden administration maintained that considering immigration status would violate anti-racism laws that ensure equal and fair lending practices.

The Biden era rules were intended to help anchor illegal and temporary visa workers into Americans’ communities, for example, by providing funds for homes, autos, and apartment leases.

But the Trump administration now says the rule went too far and was inappropriate and that considering immigration and residency status does not violate the 1974 Equal Credit Opportunity Act.

The article notes:

Biden’s rules raised many complaints when they were announced in 2023. One came from then-Ohio senator and now-Vice President JD Vance, who, when Biden made the change, said that considering immigration status as part of the loan vetting process is “nothing short of common sense.”

“A borrower’s likelihood of repayment significantly falls if there is no guarantee that they will be residing in the same community, let alone the same country or legal system,” said a Senate letter Vance, along with “every other Republican on the Senate Banking Committee,” signed in November of 2023.

“Financial institutions are right to be concerned that they may never see a return on loans issued to illegal immigrants,” then-Sen. Vance said in a press release.” If someone is deported to their home country, how is a bank in Ohio supposed recoup the loan it was forced to issue? The federal government should be cracking down on illegal immigration — not encouraging more of it.”

American citizenship should have value attached to it. Treating people who are here illegally as citizens undermines the value of citizenship. If I break into your house, I am not automatically part of your family. I have no problem with legal immigration, but people who break the law to come here are not citizens.

The Trump Economy Booms

Posted on by

On Thursday, Breitbart posted an article about improved labor productivity in America.

The article reports:

U.S. labor productivity accelerated sharply in the third quarter of 2025, rising at a 4.9 percent annual rate as workers contributed more output per hour worked, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Thursday.

The figure substantially exceeded economist expectations of 3.6 percent and marked the strongest quarterly gain in two years. Combined with an upwardly revised 4.1 percent increase in the second quarter, the back-to-back performance suggests American businesses are adapting to tighter labor markets by investing in efficiency rather than pursuing the low-cost labor strategies that dominated much of the past two decades.

This is good news for American workers.

The article concludes:

The consecutive strong quarters in mid-2025 follow a weak first quarter when productivity fell 2.1 percent and unit labor costs surged 7.3 percent at the tail end of the Biden administration. That volatility is typical in quarterly data, but the trend over multiple quarters now points clearly toward sustained productivity acceleration.

The productivity gains carry significant implications for the economy’s inflation outlook. The Federal Reserve closely monitors unit labor costs as an indicator of wage-driven price pressures. With these costs now declining, the data removes a potential concern that could have complicated the Fed’s policy decisions.

The figures also suggest the economy may be capable of sustaining higher levels of output growth without generating inflation, since businesses are producing more from each hour of work rather than simply adding expensive labor inputs.

The government will release December employment data on Friday, providing additional insight into whether the labor market dynamics driving productivity gains are continuing into the final months of 2025.

Despite what the ‘experts’ are telling you in the mainstream media, President Trump’s economic policies are working. Not only are they working, they are helping average Americans who work for a living.

Senator Fetterman has pointed out that we should all be rooting for America to succeed, because when America succeeds, we all succeed.

To quote the prophet Jeremiah:

Jeremiah 29:7 7 Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the LORD for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper.”

Unfortunate Consequences Of Bad Behavior

Posted on by

On Wednesday, Breitbart posted an article about the halting of child care and family assistance funds for California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, and New York.

The article reports:

“Families who rely on child care and family assistance programs deserve confidence that these resources are used lawfully and for their intended purpose,” Deputy Secretary Jim O’Neill said in a written statement. “This action reflects our commitment to program integrity, fiscal responsibility, and compliance with federal requirements.”

The HHS will freeze access three programs that the HHS’s Administration for Children and Families (ACF) oversees, which includes the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), and the Social Services Block Grant (SSBG).

HHS will restrict:

    • $2.4 billion for the CCDF
    • $7.35 billion for TANF
    • $869 million for the SSBG

The government that provides for you can also stop providing for you. That is a lesson all Americans need to learn. Hopefully investigations can proceed quickly and legal funds can be restored where they are needed.

The article concludes:

The funds to three blue-run states will continue to be frozen until ACF determines that the states are in compliance with federal requirements.

“For too long, Democrat-led states and Governors have been complicit in allowing massive amounts of fraud to occur under their watch,” a health department spokesperson said in a statement to ABC News.

The spokesperson stated that the administration is “ensuring that federal taxpayer dollars are being used for legitimate purposes.”

One senior Trump administration official said that the child care programs were frozen due to “rampant fraud” and that money was given to illegal aliens.

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA), in response to a post by President Donald Trump claiming that the investigation into fraud in California has begun, called the 47th president a “deranged, habitual liar whose relationship with reality ended years ago.”

Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) called the incoming funding freeze a “frontal assault” on children.

“We will fight this with every fiber of our being because our kids should not be political paws in a fight that Donald Trump seems to have with blue state governors,” she continued.

This is unfortunate, but so are the years of rampant corruption. Bad behavior has consequences, and innocent people get hurt. Hopefully the churches and charities will help cover the gaps.

Arresting People Who Broke The Law

Posted on by

America’s justice system has softened in many areas in recent years. That has resulted in people being released from jail who have no business being out on the streets. However, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) continues to do its job to keep Americans safe.

On Monday, Breitbart reported:

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested 118 illegal aliens in San Luis Obispo County and Santa Barbara County in California, a sanctuary state. Several of the illegal aliens are registered sex offenders, drunk drivers, or pedophiles, among other crimes.

“ICE ended 2025 with a surge operation in California targeting the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens,” the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Tricia McLaughlin told Breitbart News. “One hundred and eighteen illegal aliens were arrested, including pedophiles, registered sex offenders, burglars, domestic abusers, and serial drunk drivers.”

The ICE operation took place from December 26 – 31, 2025, and saw the likes of Juan Perez Tello and Rogelio Sanchez Hidalgo arrested, among others.

Tello, a 42-year-old illegal alien from Mexico, has been convicted of lewd or lascivious acts with a child under 14 years old and is a registered sex offender.

Hidalgo, a 41-year-old illegal alien from Mexico, has been convicted of lewd or lascivious acts with a child under 14 years old, is a registered sex offender, and has been convicted of illegal re-entry.

The article concludes:

McLaughlin said illegal aliens “flock to California because they know Governor Newsom and his fellow sanctuary politicians will allow them to terrorize innocent American families.”

“In 2026, our law enforcement will continue to do what Gavin Newsom has refused to do: make California safe again,” McLaughlin said.

Our immigration procedures need to change. We need to make it easier and less expensive for people who want to come here and assimilate to immigrate. We also need to set up some sort of sponsorship program that involves individuals–not NGO’s. Americans are a generous people, and I think many of us would be willing to help resettle an immigrant into America if the immigrant planned to assimilate and be an asset to their community.

Is Freedom Spreading In Latin America?

Posted on by

On Friday, Breitbart posted an article a new regional political bloc President of Argentina Javier Milei is setting up in Latin America.

The article reports:

President of Argentina Javier Milei revealed in a soon-to-be released interview he is actively working towards establishing a regional ten-country bloc in Latin America to stand up to the “cancer of socialism.”

Milei was interviewed by journalist Andrés Oppenheimer this week for Oppenheimer’s television show at CNN en Español. A brief snippet was published by the outlet ahead of the full interview’s upcoming broadcast on January 11. The Argentine President is a staunch opponent of socialism and all of its “collectivism” forms. 

“We haven’t named it yet, but there is already a group of ten countries working on it, and we will continue to move forward,” Milei said. “We are trying to form a bloc, in which our proposal is to embrace the ideas of freedom and stand up to the cancer of socialism in its various forms, whether it be socialism of the 21st century, woke socialism, not to mention the more extreme versions.”

The article concludes:

“The government emphasizes that a large part of the group has already signed joint statements not only criticizing Chavismo in Venezuela, but also supporting U.S. actions in the Caribbean Sea and the elections in Honduras, which were decided in favor of Asfura, Washington’s candidate,” La Nación reported.

The newspaper noted that the Argentine government is “enthusiastic” about the evident shift in ideological trends across the region and is seeking to emphasize similarities with other potential members of the group — particularly in light of the upcoming elections in Brazil and Colombia, two nations presently led by socialist governments whom Milei has had past impasses with.

This is fantastic news.

Another Serious Vehicle Accident Caused By A Non-English-Speaking Driver

Posted on by

America has a problem right now with people who cannot speak English getting Commercial Driver’s Licenses (CDL’s). Not being able to read road signs or understand verbal commends impacts safety conditions on American roads.

On Thursday, Breitbart reported:

A Tennessee truck driver is dead after a Chinese national, who is not proficient in English and has a non-domiciled New York commercial driver’s license (CDL), allegedly crashed a tour bus — now federal transportation officials are investigating how he was cleared to drive.

“A Chinese national driving a motorcoach slammed into a vehicle in Tennessee, killing an individual and causing a major traffic jam this week,” Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy wrote in a post on social media. “And to make matters worse: this driver had a non-domiciled CDL from NY and couldn’t speak English!”

Earlier this week, Huang Yisong, a 54-year-old Chinese national, allegedly slammed a tour bus he was driving into the rear of a tractor-trailer while watching videos on his cell phone, the New York Post reported. Yisong failed an English-proficiency test administered by Tennessee Highway Patrol troopers. His immigration status is not clear at this time.

The State of New York issued a non-domiciled CDL to Yisong.

“It’s outrageous,” a Department of Transportation spokesperson told the Post. “Our team is already investigating New York’s opaque licensing practices that enable dangerous, foreign drivers to kill innocent Americans.”

This is a safety issue and needs to addresses immediately.

The article notes:

However, earlier this year, President Donald Trump signed an executive order requiring that trukers be proficient in English, Breitbart’s Nick Gilbertson reported in April.

“President Trump believes that English is a non-negotiable safety requirement for professional drivers, as they should be able to read and understand traffic signs, communicate with traffic safety officers, border patrol, agricultural checkpoints, and cargo weight-limit station personnel, and provide and receive feedback and directions in English,” the document notes.

Under the anticipated order, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy will be directed “to rescind and replace guidance to strengthen inspection procedures for compliance with English proficiency requirements,” per the White House document.

This isn’t an immigration issue–it’s a safety issue.
