    On May 27, 2025, President Donald Trump announced he would pardon Todd and Julie Chrisley, stars of the reality TV show Chrisley Knows Best. Known for their Southern charm, witty banter, and tight-knit family, the Chrisleys captured the hearts of millions. As outspoken conservatives and Trump supporters—a rarity in entertainment—they faced federal charges in 2022 for bank fraud and tax evasion, accused of defrauding Atlanta-area banks out of over $30 million and evading taxes. Todd received a 12-year sentence, and Julie was sentenced to seven years, with a combined $17.8 million in restitution. Their daughter, Savannah, has tirelessly advocated for...

    Russian President Vladimir Putin has offered to halt his invasion of Ukraine across the current front line as part of efforts to reach a peace deal with U.S. President Donald Trump, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday citing people familiar with the matter. Putin told Steve Witkoff, Trump’s special envoy, during a meeting in St Petersburg earlier this month that Moscow could relinquish its claims to areas of four partly occupied Ukrainian regions that remain under Kyiv’s control, the report said citing three people familiar with the talks.

  • That New Charge on Your Bill? Call It a ‘This Tariff Isn’t Our Fault’ Fee

    Wall Street Journal ^ | Natasha Khan
    An extra fee is showing up on more shopping bills lately, and it carries a not-so-subtle message: These tariffs weren’t our idea. From bathroom-fixture makers to toy shops, companies are starting to tack tariff surcharges onto invoices as a separate line item. Some are a $5 flat fee, while others represent as much as 40% of the subtotal. The tactic is a way to pass on at least some tariff costs to consumers—especially on Chinese-made goods, with levies totaling 145% since January—while passing the buck to President Trump. “We think transparency is the way to go here, and I am...

    The Department of Health and Human Services has terminated a contract with a nonprofit that was paid millions each month to operate a Texas overflow facility that sat empty, according to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). In a social media post, DOGE said a former U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement employee and Biden transition team member joined Family Endeavors in early 2021, where they helped the organization secure a sole-source HHS contract for overflow housing from licensed care facilities. "As a result, Family Endeavors’ cash and portfolio of investments grew from $8.3M in 2020 to $520.4M in 2023, the...

    Elon Musk just revealed that the government handed the Navy $12 billion to build new submarines—and not a single submarine was built. When investigators asked where the money went, Navy officials shrugged and said they had no idea. “There’s a case where I think Senator Collins was telling me about how she gave the Navy $12 billion for more submarines, got no extra submarines, and then held a hearing to say where the $12 billion go. “And they were like, we don’t know. That was it. I mean, basically, stuff is so crazy. Only the federal government could get away...

    A migrant shelter in San Diego is shutting down after receiving no new arrivals following the Trump administration’s termination of the CBP One app on Inauguration Day. The Jewish Family Service of San Diego, which has operated a regional migrant shelter for over six years, announced it will close its facility and lay off more than 100 employees due to “changes in federal funding and policy” under the new administration. In a statement, the organization said its transition shelter, which is used to provide medical screenings, food, legal assistance, and travel coordination, has not received a single migrant since President...

    … At a press panel following the event, a group of faith leaders, including members of the evangelical community that has long been a base of support for Trump, said they were concerned about the president's recent moves to dismantle the US Agency for International Development as part of his cost-cutting efforts. "We affirm that there are aspects of our foreign aid programs that should be ended and others that could be reformed for greater effectiveness," Galen Carey, the vice president of government relations at the National Association of Evangelicals, said.

    DEI: LA Mayor Karen Bass is hiring an ‘outside consultant’ to rebuild the Pacific Palisades in a more equitable and environmentally sustainable way. She intends to award the contract without authorization from the property owners. ... CORRUPTION: California updated the law to allow Mayors like Karen Bass to take contributions from contractors and consultants to the city if they are award via competitive bid starting on Jan 1, 2025. This exemption is significant because it means that vendors winning contracts through competitive bids can still donate to political campaigns of officials overseeing the contract process—potentially leaving room for continued influence...

Bass appeared in Pacific Palisades on Monday on an unannounced visit together with “chief recovery officer Steve Soboroff,” whom Bass appointed earlier this month — also without local consultation — and who had been absent. The Los Angeles Times reported that Bass announced her intention to hire a consultant to handle the rebuilding: The city of Los Angeles is planning to hire an outside...

    America First Legal obtained new photos of Joe Biden meeting with Hunter’s Chinese business associates and introducing Hunter to China’s Xi Jinping. AFL obtained the photos through their September 2022 lawsuit against the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA.) “These photos shed light on the connections between then-Vice President Biden, Hunter and his Chinese business associates, and Chinese government officials, including President Xi Jinping,” AFL said. NARA was supposed to release the photos on October 23, 2024 – BEFORE the 2024 election but they dragged it out to cover up Joe Biden’s corruption.

    Did you know that 85% of the federal workforce works from home and only have to come in one day a month? On any given day, only 17% of the federal workforce is in a federal office building working. Many hold other jobs. It's one giant looting operation and US taxpayers are their mark. DOGE is coming.
