An immigrant group behind a major lawsuit challenging President Donald Trump’s executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship receives millions of dollars in government funding annually, a Washington Examiner analysis of public records has found. CASA, an organization that helps migrants find work regardless of their legal status, filed the lawsuit alongside the Asylum Seeker Advocacy Project and five pregnant noncitizens in January, arguing that Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship is unconstitutional.

@TaraBull808 Elon Musk is considering to have Ron Paul head up an audit of The Federal Reserve

Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) on a new podcast is accusing his own party of being “toxic,” while suggesting it may be unable to win over white male voters. In an appearance on the “Somebody’s Gotta Win” podcast, the senator said Democrats have talked down to voters, and they are seeing that boomerang on them. “I think [Democrats’] primary currency was shaming and scolding and talking down to people and telling them, ‘Hey, I know better than you,’ or you’re dopes, or you’re a bro, or you’re ignorant or, ‘how can you be this dumb? I can’t imagine it.’ And then,...

Politico issued an emergency "Note to Our Readers" on Thursday about evidence uncovered by Team Doge that Politico has been paid at least $8 million indirectly via high priced government agency subscriptions to its Politico Pro service.Bizarrely in the entire note the agency at the center of the scandal dares not mention its name. Yes, you will not see the word "USAID" even once in the note issued by Politico's CEO Goli Sheikholeslami and Global Editor-in-Chief John F. Harris.The damage control starts with the subtitle of the emergency note: "POLITICO has been the subject of debate on X this week....

In another legal victory for Judicial Watch, a federal court has ordered the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to furnish all available files they have on any communications between now-former Special Counsel Jack Smith and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis pertaining to the prosecution of President Donald Trump. The court order comes after the DOJ still objected to handing over information even after the Trump prosecutions were shut down. Judge Dabney L. Friedrich ruled on January 28 that because the two federal cases against Trump were closed, the DOJ's non-disclosure arguments are no longer applicable: Since [the] DOJ filed...

The hysteria continues to escalate over the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency, and the desperation to stop any change to the bureaucratic status quo is palpable. DOGE has been at the forefront of uncovering wasteful, partisan projects funded by the federal government, with USAID becoming a centerpiece of reform. As RedState reported, the agency has paid out billions of dollars to far-left causes, funneling money through various NGOs, with expenditures ranging from foreign election interference to paying for transgender operas. Naturally, the decision to gut USAID and stop the gravy train has caused a full-scale freakout because Democrats are...

After pulling his country from the World Health Organization (WHO), Argentine President Javier Milei admitted Wednesday in an interview with a French outlet that he intended to withdraw from the 2015 Paris Agreement to limit greenhouse gas emmissions to preserve the planet's temperature from rising. “The environmentalist agenda is a real fraud,” said Milei, thus echoing similar recent statements from US President Donald Trump. To withdraw from the Paris Agreement, Law 27.270 would have to b e repealed by Congress. Asked by Le Point if Argentina could leave the Paris Agreement, Milei answered: “Yes, I am considering it because I...

VIDEOOkay, his technique is a bit rusty but he more than makes up for it in enthusiasm. "WE WON'T REST! WE WON'T REST!" How can couch potatoes around the nation not be stirred up by that battle cry? Oh, and Chuck has a secret plan to eliminate the cheerleader competition by feeding them cheese on raw hamburgers.

Symbols, History, and the Complex Tapestry of National Identity in California In a recent event that has stirred both local and national discourse, a Mexican national in California took down the American flag at a public park and raised the Mexican flag in its place, asserting that California was "land stolen from Mexicans." This action has reignited discussions about historical land claims, national symbols, and the layered narratives of conquest and colonization in North America. Historical Context To fully understand this incident, one must delve into the history of California and the broader region. California was indeed part of Mexico...

@BRICSinfo JUST IN: Ukrainian President Zelensky offers the US access to Ukraine's rare earth and mineral deposits in exchange for a security deal from President Trump.

This is the dramatic moment a low-flying Vladimir Putin warplane is shot down by Ukrainian troops and explodes into a huge fireball. The £11million Su-25 attack warplane was captured smashing into the ground near the village of Zaitsevo, close to a major battle scene in Toretsk, Donetsk region. The pilot ejected and is “alive and safe”, according to reports. The plane was hit by a shoulder-fired, surface-to-air missile, confirmed the Ukrainians. Footage apparently showed a Russian rescue helicopter plucking the Su-25 pilot to safety after he had hidden in the forest. However, the rescue Mi-8 helicopter was attacked by Ukrainian...

Just for grins, I typed in "how many audits did Obama order?" It didn't answer the question. Not even close. But there were plenty of lines peripheral to the subject of auditing in general. Pity we can't require something that functions as a public utility to actually serve the public. Private business, and all.

Donald Trump was suing the network for $10 billion, stating that 60 Minutes edited the video to make Harris look and sound better. Upon having time to review the raw footage, Trump amended his lawsuit to $20 billion, thus doubling the original amount.

Los Angeles “Chief Recovery Officer” Steve Soboroff said Saturday night that he would work for free, after coming under fire for earning $500,000 for three months of work, even though his salary was to have been paid privately. Earlier in the day, as Breitbart News reported, Ambassador Ric Grenell, who is representing President Donald Trump in overseeing the recovery effort from last month’s devastating fires, criticized Soboroff harshly for his salary.

Daily Readings from the USCCBAfter he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into deep water and lower your nets for a catch.” Simon said in reply, “Master, we have worked hard all night and have caught nothing, but at your command I will lower the nets.” When they had done this, they caught a great number of fish and their nets were tearing. Luke 5:4–6Jesus had just cured Simon Peter’s mother-in-law as one of His first miracles. As a result of this and other miracles, Peter’s entire hometown of Capernaum, as well as many of the surrounding...

You cannot make this stuff up? USAID, which blessedly is no more, paid for a radical Islamic terrorist’s college tuition. Past receipts show that the former agency footed the bill for Anwar Awlaki’s higher education. Awlaki lied about the country of his birth to obtain funds for college through the State Department. Awlaki later became the point of the lance for al-Qaeda’s digital jihad arm. Investigative Catherine Herridge has more: Looks like USAID supported college tuition for Anwar Aulaqi (Awlaki) who later became a high level al Qaeda terrorist. Aulaqi falsely claimed he was born in Yemen to secure the...

“Democracy.” What does that term mean? The single biggest theme of the recent campaign of Democrats and of Kamala Harris was that we had to vote for them to save “Our Democracy.” If I get to summarize the meaning of “Democracy” in 25 words or less, here is my effort: “The people periodically get the opportunity to vote the current authorities out, and replace them with new authorities who will implement new policies.” (That’s 23 words.) Here in the U.S. we admittedly do not have a pure Democracy, but instead a constitutional Republic, with various limitations on government powers and...

A Ukrainian engineer who spoke with 19FortyFive explained, “This is a radar that is less capable even than the versions of the MiG-29’s N019 radar that have been upgraded by our industry. So, it is hard to do much with these aircraft considering what the Russians are putting up against us.” Making matters worse, he continued, is “all of the aircraft sent to Ukraine thus far have had their Link 16 hardware removed. Without this, the effective ranges at which we are able to engage Russian aircraft is about one-third of the range at which their fighter aircraft can fire...

Why is Elon Musk supporting Ron Paul leading an audit of The Federal Reserve such a big deal? Because The Fed has NEVER had a full audit, or full disclosure of monetary policy decisions Example: The Fed got caught doing HALF A TRILLION in swaps overseas with no oversight Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke was even questioned about giving this half a trillion in swaps to the central banks overseas: No one gave the approval and he says he doesn’t need approval, “We have a longstanding legal authority to do swaps with other central banks — It's not an emergency...

Under the restored Trump administration, the rule of law is giving way to the law of the jungle. Fear, suspicion, bullying and “thuggery” are ascendent, and it won’t only be immigrants and refugees who will suffer as a result. It is going to be up to all Americans, public officials and private citizens alike, to stand up to the administration’s lawlessness and to publicly call out abuses of power whenever and wherever they occur.
