A luxury RV company is trying to evict a group of squatters who took over a storage lot of campers in the city of Industry. "We've noticed that several of the trailers have been burning," worker Marilyn Martinez said. "There's homeless here sometimes late at night. They're coming in and out." Martinez, who works near the lot, said a city of squatters started taking over the overflow storage area months ago. Since then, they've piled up massive mounds of trash and debris. The company, Black Series RV, said trespassers are now living in at least 50 campers, which are worth...

The U.S. House Delivering on Government Efficiency subcommittee held a hearing where leaders from NPR and PBS defended their work, which is partially federally funded. DOGE Subcommittee Chair Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., argued that abundance of news offered by the internet has made federal support for radio and television obsolete. “I know this because I represent a rural district where farmers listen to podcasts and internet based news while they drive their tractors. At the same time, NPR and PBS have increasingly become radical, left-wing echo chambers for a narrow audience of mostly wealthy, white, urban liberals and progressives...

Several instances of Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) seemingly mocking Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s disability resurfaced on Tuesday after she received backlash for referring to the wheelchair-bound Republican as “Governor Hot Wheels.” In an August 2022 post, Crockett weighed in on the Texas gubernatorial race between Abbott and Beto O’Rourke with a remark about Abbott “rolling.” “The new nickname I have for @BetoORourke is the king of the clap backs!” she wrote. “Beto is rolling all around the state… where is Abbott rolling to 👀?” Crockett shared another post about Abbott “rolling” this month, which read, “Rolling up to the White...

On 6 December 2024 Romania’s Constitutional Court cancelled the country’s presidential election while runoff voting was already underway in the diaspora. Domestically and internationally, this was justified on the basis of “Russian interference” in the first round, held on 24 November, when little-known independent candidate Calin Georgescu had shockingly topped the poll. The Trump-aligned Georgescu, widely accused by the mainstream media of pro-Russia views, was running on a very effective nationalist, pro-peace platform. He was set to win the second round on 8 December and become president – before the entire process was brought to a halt by the politically-appointed...

Detectives on Tuesday were trying to solve a mystery after two bodies were found in the back of an abandoned pickup truck in the Santa Cruz Mountains. The discovery was made along Highway 35/Skyline Boulevard, three miles south of Castle Rock State Park. In a statement, the California Highway Patrol said this is an active and ongoing investigation, adding that "two deceased individuals were located in a vehicle…As the deaths were not witnessed, they are coded as suspicious until a coroner can confirm cause and manner of death." The CHP said if autopsy results indicate something more, they’ll follow those...

Secretary of Health and Human Services RFK Jr. attempted to calm the MAHA masses after new CDC director nominee Susan Monarez was attacked online for messages tweeted by a previous director. In a Tuesday X post, RFK Jr. urged, “X posts that erroneously attribute Biden-era tweets supporting masks, lockdowns, vaccine mandates, etc. to my @CDCgov Director nominee, Susan Monarez, have understandably provoked agita within the MAHA movement.” “I handpicked Susan for this job because she is a longtime champion of MAHA values, and a caring, compassionate and brilliant microbiologist and a tech wizard who will reorient CDC toward public health...

There’s an awful lot of outrage on the news and social media from transgenders and transexuals. They’re claiming that President Trump’s support of a two-sexes description of humanity is putting them in danger. Some are calling for violence against anyone who tries to stop a man, dressed like a woman, from entering ladies’ rooms. Others are threatening to assault anyone who uses the “wrong” pronoun when addressing them. We’ve seen videos of confrontations between trans people and those who refer to them by their true sex. Tik Tok is replete with video warnings and death threats against people who dare...

Indian government sources told Reuters on Tuesday that New Delhi is considering $23 billion in tariff reductions on U.S. imports to stave off President Donald Trump’s threatened reciprocal tariffs, which will affect at least $66 billion in Indian exports if they take effect on April 2. According to Reuters’ sources, the Indian government ran the numbers and concluded it will fare much better by lowering its tariffs, even though it will lose a great deal of income: In an internal analysis, New Delhi estimated such reciprocal tariffs would hit 87% of its total exports to the United States worth $66...

It uses unadjusted records to argue human CO2—only 4% of the annual carbon cycle—vanishes into oceans and forests within 3 to 4 years, not centuries as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) claims. During the 2020 COVID lockdowns, a 7% emissions drop (2.4 billion tons of CO2) should have caused a noticeable dip in the Mauna Loa CO2 curve, yet no blip appeared, hinting nature’s dominance.

The matter of Russian energy exports is being discussed in talks with the United States, Moscow says, telling Europe they would have to be mentally ill to turn down cheap natural gas. Russia and the United States are discussing the potential resumption of energy exports through the Nord Stream pipeline in the ongoing ceasefire and peace talks, the Kremlin says. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated on Wednesday it would be advantageous to “restore normal energy supply” to Europe, revealing the Nord Stream pipelines are “being discussed” with the United States now. The subject is one that will not be...

A trio of federal judges in California declared on Tuesday that President Donald Trump must welcome roughly 40,000 refugees approved by President Joe Biden’s deputies.#In a second courtroom in Seattle, another federal judge ordered the Trump administration to keep paying the quasi-government agencies that settle the refugees in Americans’ crowded housing, schools, and workplaces, such as in Springfield, Ohio.The judges’ policy preferences are likely to be appealed by Trump’s deputies. The decisions contradict his legal claim that presidents have full authority over who gets to cross the U.S. borders. The judges’ views also contradict Trump’s election mandate to reduce the...

Democratic Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib is defending Islamic terrorists again. This time, it's the Iranian backed Houthis in Yemen. On Monday, Tlaib decided to weigh in on Trump administration national officials using Signal to discuss military action against the group. She made it clear she's upset about the current campaign to stop Houthi attacks. The White House has a different view. "Democrats and their media allies have seemingly forgotten that President Donald J. Trump and his National Security team successfully killed terrorists who have targeted U.S. troops and disrupted the most consequential shipping routes in the world. This is a coordinated...

The Los Angeles Dodgers plan to visit President Donald Trump at the White House to celebrate their World Series victory, the team announced Tuesday. The team released a statement Tuesday afternoon that said it would visit the White House “in keeping with long-standing baseball tradition.” The Dodgers will visit the White House on April 7, during an away series against the Washington Nationals.

In a stunning revelation, the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) announced the discovery of nearly $5 trillion in unaccounted-for government spending. The massive government oversights are due to a previously optional financial tracking field linking US Treasury payments to specific budget line items. For reference, under Elon Musk’s leadership, DOGE aggressively pursues the elimination of government waste and promotes transparency in federal spending, a key priority of President Donald Trump’s administration. The executive order signed on President Trump’s first day in office is a temporary White House initiative with an 18-month mission; the department has already uncovered massive...

Congress funds roughly 1,500 “Zombie” programs with expired authorizations, costing at least $516B, while DOGE eyes cuts. Lawmakers lack time to reauthorize, keeping agencies in legal limbo.In 1974, Congress created the Legal Services Corporation to connect lower-income Americans involved in civil disputes with free legal help. The law that established the agency stipulated that authorization for its funding would expire in 1980, when lawmakers were required to vote on whether to keep it alive.They never did. Still, Congress has funded LSC every year since. In fiscal year 2025, its 51st year, LSC’s 135 employees will spend 95% of its now...

The people’s deference to the judiciary is not unlimited. The courts can weaken their moral authority quickly with over-reaching rulings, particularly when those rulings reek of personal animus toward one man — i.e., “Trump Derangement Syndrome” — rather than rational decision-making. The so-called “resistance” will play well to the “elites” but not to the people who put the president into office to do the very things that are being resisted. Americans intuitively understand that the judiciary’s primary role is to protect the rights of American citizens, not the “rights” of federal bureaucracies and foreign interests. They also understand that the...

Russia launched an overnight drone strike against the Ukrainian Black Sea port of Mykolaiv, just hours after the US announced that Moscow and Kyiv had agreed to a maritime ceasefire, authorities said. The mayor of Mykolaiv said on Wednesday morning that the city was experiencing emergency power outages. Meanwhile, the region's governor confirmed that the Ukrainian military had destroyed seven Russian drones in the region overnight. -snip- Although Moscow and Kyiv agreed to a Black Sea ceasefire after three days of separate talks with US officials in Saudi Arabia's capital Riyadh, questions remain about its implementation. Speaking on Tuesday, Zelenskyy...

"We in these hot a-- Texas streets, honey," Crockett said at a Human Rights Campaign dinner in Los Angeles on Saturday. "Y’all know we got Governor Hot Wheels down there, come on now! And the only thing hot about him is that he is a hot a-- mess, honey!" "It's another day and another disaster by the Democrats. The reality is they have no vision, no policy. They have nothing to sell but hate, and Americans are not buying it," Abbott said in an interview on "Hannity." In an X post Tuesday, the Democrat claimed her words were misunderstood "I...
