MSNBC contributor Claire McCaskill claimed Wednesday on “Morning Joe” that President Donald Trump was deporting people because he didn’t “like their opinion.” McCaskill said, “The underpinning for this whole thing is this idea that we’re at war with Venezuela, and therefore, these people need to be deported without due process, without the court’s involvement. Clearly, everybody in America wants violent criminals who are here illegally out of the country, end of discussion, full stop. So let’s do it according to our laws. It’s not that hard. It doesn’t have to take a lot of time.”

They’re digging for answers. There has been an ongoing debate for many years over where Jesus was crucified and buried — with many experts believing the site to be on the grounds of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. Now, new archaeological evidence might confirm their belief to be true. A team of researchers from Sapienza University of Rome recently found remains of a plant — possibly the same plant referenced in John 19:41 — that dates back to the time of Jesus‘ death, which is believed to have happened around 33 A.D. To be more specific, the...

Myanmar's military opened fire at a Chinese Red Cross convoy carrying earthquake relief supplies on Tuesday night. The Ta'ang National Liberation Army, an armed rebel group, said that military troops shot at the convoy of nine vehicles with machine guns in eastern Shan State. Myanmar's junta, which said it was investigating the incident, denied shooting directly at the vehicles and said troops fired shots into the air after the convoy did not stop, despite it being signalled to do so. Myanmar has been gripped by violence amid a civil war between the junta, which seized power in a 2021 coup...

Brown University has opened an investigation into a student for sending emails to administrators asking them what they do in a day. The 20-year-old sophomore at the university, Alex Shieh, sent emails to all 3,805 administrators at Brown asking them to “Describe what tasks you performed in the past week.” Now the school is investigating him for inflicting “Emotional/Psychological Harm” on the staff, according to documents obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. School officials accuse Shieh of obtaining confidential information and are requiring him to send proof he has deleted the content, essentially requiring the student to incriminate himself,...

VIDEOIt is now an important piece of American history. The urine-soaked diaper which Senator Spartacus aka Cory Booker wore to break the filibuster record in the U.S. Senate. Or, more accurately, the FAKE filibuster record since this "filibuster" unlike real filibusters did NOT delay any Senate legislation or nominations. For both these reasons, the record books will always show an asterisk by the name of Senator Spartacus next to his "filibuster" entry.

Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin used his veto power to send a bill back to the Democrat-controlled legislature with a clever change. The legislature last month passed a bill introduced by State Delegate Laura Jane Cohen (D-Fairfax), a far-left former school board member, requiring schools to text and email parents each school year, admonishing them to lock up any guns they own. Youngkin added a provision that would require schools to also communicate with parents before transitioning a child to a different gender. Democrats previously voted down a similar bill, but now they will have to vote whether to accept or...

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell has announced he is considering a run for Minnesota governor, saying “nobody wants Tim Walz.” Lindell teased the bid during a Monday evening broadcast on his streaming show, LindellTV. The Mankato native is the founder of Chaska-based MyPillow and a prominent supporter of President Donald Trump and his 2020 election conspiracy theories. “I’m going to tell you right now, I’m considering running for governor in the state of Minnesota, because right now we have a voice that could be big …,” Lindell said during the broadcast Monday. “I live here in Minnesota. Everywhere I go, nobody...

On Tuesday, Kid Rock shared details of President Donald Trump’s meeting with liberal comedian Bill Maher, declaring that “everybody’s mind was kind of blown.” The rock star, who got to witness Trump sign an executive order designed to crack down on price gouging in ticket resales, joined Fox News to discuss how he convinced Maher to meet Trump and what actually happened when they all got together for dinner, along with UFC CEO Dana White. Both Trump and Maher — who have been heavily critical of each other over the years — had previously credited Kid Rock with brokering the...

Every time Donald Trump has mentioned his plan to levy massive tariffs on imports into the US, there has been a widespread assumption that they will be delayed, watered down or rowed back. Today, he will reveal in the White House Rose Garden not just how serious he is about "the most beautiful word in the dictionary", but effectively call time on decades of economic globalisation. And it is still possible that he will do this by launching the equivalent of a salvo of ballistic missiles into the global trading system, with a universal tariff on all imports into the...

President Donald Trump is expected to impose tariffs on a bunch of U.S. trading partners on Wednesday as part of his "liberation day" event. The White House on Tuesday said the president would reveal even broader tariffs than he has already indicated during an event on Wednesday afternoon in the White House Rose Garden. He has already teased tariffs on Canada, China and Mexico. The president first announced tariffs on the three countries earlier this year, but delayed imposing them until April 2. Here is a list of the tariffs that are currently expected to take effect on Wednesday: Auto...

The EU Parliament has lifted the immunity of AfD foreign policy spokesman Petr Bystron because he shared a photo of Angela Merkel on Twitter in 2022. The reason? Bizarre: since Merkel is seen raising her arm in the image, it’s being interpreted as a Nazi salute – but only because Bystron posted it. Prosecutor: Waving is not a Nazi salute This farce has a backstory: In 2022, during a protest against COVID-19 measures, Bystron waved to the crowd. The public prosecutor immediately launched an investigation: “Nazi salute!” In response, hundreds of AfD supporters filed complaints against Angela Merkel, who had...

he[Trump] knows… we’re going to take these tariffs off in the next minute if he said he’s taking their tariffs off”

ust days after Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that at least 300 international visas to the U.S. had been canceled, reports are surfacing that at least nine student visas in Colorado were among those revoked. It’s unclear why the visas were revoked. The University of Colorado confirmed that four of its international students who were attending on F-1 visas had their visas revoked. The students were at the Boulder and Colorado Springs campuses. Later, Colorado State University confirmed five of its international students had been “impacted by visa revocations.”

President Trump has been issuing executive orders aimed at law firms that employed key figures in the Russiagate saga. Now, federal judges have blocked many of Trump's efforts, some calling it retribution for the lawfare waged against him by the previous administration. Multiple judges have blocked efforts by President Donald Trump to hold “Big Law” firms accountable for their connections to lawyers closely tied to the Russia collusion hoax. The executive orders make allegations against some of the most powerful law firms in the nation: the WilmerHale law firm for previously employing former Special Counsel Robert Mueller and two of...

California will lose millions of dollars in federal matching funds for the state’s Medicaid program, Medi-Cal, after Governor Gavin Newsom’s administration failed to fill out the necessary paperwork by a March 31 deadline. CalMatters.org reported: California voters told lawmakers last fall that they wanted doctors to get paid more to see low-income patients. But officials for the Newsom administration blew past a federal deadline to make that happen through Medi-Cal Monday, effectively leaving millions of dollars unclaimed. The unclaimed money is tied to Proposition 35, a ballot measure passed by 68% of voters in November. The measure committed money from...

Nearly 2,000 scientists, engineers and researchers penned an open letter this week to President Donald Trump's administration, calling for a stop to its "assault" on science. The letter was signed by elected members of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine, a congressional chartered organization that provides independent analysis and helps inform public policy decisions. "We are speaking out as individuals. We see real danger in this moment," the letter said, in part. "We hold diverse political beliefs, but we are united as researchers in wanting to protect independent scientific inquiry. We are sending this SOS to sound a...

At the Remote Encoding Center in Salt Lake City, keyers process 1.2 billion images of mail every year. It's a more difficult job than I thought.

Ken Paxton, the attorney general of Texas, is getting ready to challenge Senator John Cornyn in what could be the nastiest and most expensive Republican Party showdown of the 2026 election. In an interview on Tuesday in Dallas, Mr. Paxton tiptoed close to declaring himself a candidate, offering up the kind of legislation he would first propose if elected to the Senate — tax cuts — and describing why he felt he could do more in Washington, D.C., than in Texas. “I just think there’s a lot of things that you could do at the federal level,” Mr. Paxton said....

BOSTON (TNND) — U.S. Immigration and Customs and Enforcement and law enforcement officers arrested 370 individuals dubbed "illegal aliens" in Massachusetts during a six-day targeted operation aimed at taking down transnational organized crime and violent gangs, including MS-13, Tren de Aragua, and the 18th Street Gang. ICE officials said the operation, which took place from March 18 to March 23, focused on offenders with criminal backgrounds and resulted in the seizure of illegal drugs, firearms and the arrest of fugitives facing serious charges like murder and money laundering. A large portion of those arrested - 205 individuals - had prior...
