The Pentagon Inspector General expanded his investigation into Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s use of the double-encrypted app Signal. Steven Stebbins took over as Acting Inspector General after President Trump fired the previous IG and 17 other inspectors general. Stebbins was first appointed to his position in 2015. Pete Hegseth has been under heavy attack since before his confirmation hearing and the leaks keep coming.

Julie Kelly 🇺🇸 @julie_kelly2 Just a reminder that @SenThomTillis voted to confirm both Merrick Garland and Lisa Monaco to lead Biden's DOJ. Now he wants to sink the confirmation of acting DC US attorney Ed Martin, who is investigating corruption at that office under Garland/Monaco leadership. 7:56 AM · May 1, 2025

FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge Elvis Chan, one of the central figures in the federal government’s censorship of conservative voices during the 2020 presidential election, has reportedly been placed on terminal leave. The development was first reported by independent journalist Breanna Morello. Chan, who served as the FBI’s key liaison between the Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF) and Big Tech companies like Twitter, Facebook, and Google, was instrumental in a government-led censorship campaign to silence conservative voices and suppress damaging information about Hunter Biden in the lead-up to the election. The House Judiciary Committee filed a lawsuit against FBI...

Jack Poso 🇺🇸 @JackPosobiec SCOTT ADAMS: When Raskin's union workers attacked Jack Posobiec, they didn't even attempt to talk. They went straight to violence. You don't see Republicans doing that, only Democrats. From Human Events Daily 3:44 PM · May 1, 202

It wasn't as graphic as the fake bloody, severed head of Trump that Kathy Griffin infamously held up. But in her own way, CNN's Audie Cornish lumped Trump into the same category as history's most famous victim of the guillotine. Cornish kicked off today's CNN This Morning by slyly slipping in an analogy between President Trump and Marie Antoinette--the French queen who was beheaded by the guillotine. Commenting on Trump's statement that, given the new tariffs, "maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls," here's how Cornish rephrased Trump: "Let them buy fewer dolls!"That was an echo...

Virginia Giuffre, the most prominent victim to speak out against Jeffrey Epstein, reportedly died by suicide last month at her farm in Western Australia. She was 41. Her family called her a “fierce warrior” in the fight against sex trafficking and said her death followed a lifetime of abuse. First responders found her unresponsive at home, and while local authorities say there’s no indication of foul play, speculation exploded online almost immediately. Many pointed to a 2019 post where Giuffre insisted she was not suicidal, using it to question the official narrative. Some accused authorities of covering up a targeted...

Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas has started pitching fellow Democrats on a run for the party’s top Oversight Committee position, according to two people familiar with the situation. Crockett’s entreaties — playing out in phone calls, text messages and floor conversations — mark the beginning of a contested race to succeed Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) as Oversight’s ranking member. Rep. Stephen Lynch of Massachusetts is also seeking the job, though Connolly — who announced plans to step aside after suffering a recurrence of esophageal cancer — has not yet formally done so. Crockett has told other lawmakers that she’s “made...

Republicans are trying to lock in Trump’s tax cuts and Democrats are resisting. We now know that DOGE is trying to end the wasteful spending in DC. But I would really like to see tax rates on the middle class fall. The wealth gap between the top 1% of taxpayers and the bottom 50% of taxpayers is enormous. And has gotten worse since 1990. Meanwhile. to fight off the temporary effects of the tariff war, Trump is urging Fed Chair Powell to cut rates. Powell will likely NOT cut rates. But what does “Lunatic Liz” Warren say about rate cuts??

National security adviser Mike Waltz is expected to depart from the Trump administration in the coming days, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN, the first major staff shakeup since the president took office in January. Waltz’s job has been in limbo after it was made clear to him earlier this week that his time leading the National Security Council had come to an end, according to a source familiar with the matter. Alex Wong, the deputy national security adviser, and other national security advisers are also expected to depart, per multiple sources familiar with conversations, though timing is...

Carl Sprayberry — a former Democrat candidate for Georgia’s 139th House District — has been arrested as part of a sweeping, multi-agency child sex trafficking operation known as “Operation Lights Out.” The sting, conducted between April 25 and April 28, resulted in the arrest of 19 suspects accused of attempting to exploit children online, according to WTVM. Sprayberry, 32, who once ran for state office and publicly called for the assassination of President Donald Trump in a social media post, is among those charged with human trafficking. In February 2025, Sprayberry tweeted: “Donald Trump has committed an act of High...

SOME IRONIES... * Some countries celebrate Labor day [Día Internacional de los Trabajadores] in NOT working. * Liberal "free speech" champions refuse conservative speakers. * Those that couldn't define what a woman is, were suddenly so excited about a woman potentially being president in 2024. * "Palestine" oppressive totalitarian regimes talk about "freedom" / "free." * Islamist Jihadists try to convince the world about "peace" in their religion. * Grandchildren of Arab immigrants ["Palestinians"] claim to be "indigenous." * Genocidal Hamas death-cult controls a so called "health" ministry. * Pro Hitler / his true genocide, are suddenly against a one...

Dylan Bryan Adams, one of Gov. Tim Walz's staff members, was observed doing $20,000 in damage to six Teslas. Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty says she will not seek criminal charges. "It really wouldn't be fair to Mr. Adams," Moriarty said. "First of all, his boss publicly praised the damage being done to Teslas because they are manufactured by Elon Musk's company. Musk is helping Trump destroy the country. While the Governor didn't expressly order Mr. Adams to join in this form of peaceful protest against a person the Governor hated, Mr. Adams can't be blamed for trying to please...

Saying that U.S. Sen. John Cornyn has “betrayed the trust” of Lone Star State gun owners, a Texas gun rights group is asking President Donald Trump not to endorse the longtime senator for re-election. The organization Texas Gun Rights (TGR) last week penned a letter to President Trump in which it aired its grievances over what it believes to be Sen. Cornyn’s lack of support for the Second Amendment. “Dear President Trump, We, the members and supporters of Texas Gun Rights, write to you as dedicated defenders of the Second Amendment,” the letter stated. “We urge you in the strongest...

VIDEO Kamala Harris just reappeared for the first time since leaving office on January 20. As you can see, we dodged a yuuuuuge bullet with her defeat in November. Joe Biden was completely controlled by the Deep State because he was barely cognizant. And Kamala would have been just as easily controlled due to being barely sober.

Another slap in the face to American victims from Texas’ radical justice system. A Travis County judge on Tuesday slashed the bond for Solomun Weldekeal-Araya — a foreign national and 18-wheeler driver — from $1.2 million down to a jaw-dropping $7,000, despite his role in a tragic crash that left five people dead, including a child and a baby. The deadly pileup occurred last month on Interstate 35 in North Austin, involving 17 vehicles and 17 people, resulting in fiery devastation and multiple injuries. Victims and their families are now pursuing more than $150 million in damages — but for...

As this correspondent sits in the Press Office at the 2025 Annual Meeting of the NRA in Atlanta, Georgia, there is time to reflect on the enormous progress which has been made in restoring rights protected by the Second Amendment of the United States Bill of Rights.The first time I was in Atlanta for more than a plane exchange was within a month or two of 51 years ago, while on active duty in the United States Army, in 1974. This correspondent attended the NRA Annual Meeting in Atlanta in 2017.In 1974, traveling across state lines with firearms was a...

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz made an appearance at the Harvard Kennedy School this week and told people that he was picked to be Kamala Harris’ running mate because he could ‘code talk’ to white guys. That strategy didn’t work out too well for the Harris campaign, did it? Democrats lost men of all races by a wide margin. In fact, the Democratic party is struggling to figure out how to win back male voters who have deserted them in record numbers.

‘The Rocky Horror Picture Show’ wants fans to do the time warp again for its 50th anniversary. The musical cult classic’s half-century milestone will be celebrated with a new 4K Ultra remaster that will be released in theaters and on Blu-ray later this year. Released in 1975, the movie stars Barry Bostwick and Susan Sarandon as a newly engaged couple who seek help at the castle of gender-bending Dr. Frank-N-Furter (Tim Curry) when their car breaks down. “Rocky Horror” was based on the musical play by Richard O’Brien with a screenplay by O’Brien and director Jim Sharman, and produced by...
