Ashley Rogers, 42, was arrested on three counts of neglect of a dependent after officers searched her home and found her three children and dogs had been living in squalor. Fort Wayne Police officers arrived to Rogers home at around 12.20pm on April 30 following reports of a minor threatening to harm themselves and discovered the property covered in black mold, animal feces and filled with piles of trash. ogers's boyfriend, Antione Burnett, was at the...

Requiring the disclosure of fiscal sponsorships is key. On April 23, the US Treasury Department announced that the IRS plans to revise Form 990—the annual information return filed by tax-exempt organizations—to improve transparency and strengthen oversight, specifically targeting reporting on government contracts, government grants, and fiscal sponsorship arrangements. The stated goals are to detect misconduct and hold wrongdoers accountable. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent put the matter bluntly: “We are ending the days of hiding fraud, abuse, and extremist activity behind complicated nonprofit arrangements. When bad actors misuse charitable structures, directors and officers should understand that transparency can lead to scrutiny,...

CTRL F ‘WHITE MEN’ I hate predictions and even as I am a terminal optimist, I hesitate to say this, but: The New York Times is dead to rights cooked. The Trump Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is suing The New York Times for workplace discrimination. A current employee of the Times – you read that correctly – is working with administration lawyers on a suit charging that the paper is racist against white men and that racism is a matter of employment policy. Totally illegal by the way and has been for decades. Elites would be shocked to learn...

California Rep Kevin Kiley says they have learned the $100 million dollar pacific palisades Fire Aid concert money was laundered to nonprofits “What we have learned is absolutely beyond belief — Tens of thousands of people donated raising a hundred million dollars for what they was were told was direct relief for the victims. But now we've learned that this money didn't go to the victims at all. Instead, it went to nonprofits” Here are some examples - CA Native Vote Project: $100,000 for voter participation for Native Americans - Community Organized Relief Effort (CORE): $250,000 for programs prioritizing undocumented...

The deranged firebug accused of igniting the devastating Palisades Fire had become “fixated” on Luigi Mangione in the lead-up to the deadly blaze — and then allegedly suggested the inferno was started out of “resentment of the rich,” prosecutors said. Jonathan Rinderknecht, 30, was obsessed with the accused health care CEO killer and had routinely searched “free Luigi Mangione” and “lets take down all the billionaires” online, court documents show. In the weeks and hours before allegedly sparking the blaze that triggered the catastrophic Palisades Fire, Rinderknecht — who worked as an Uber driver — ranted to customers about Mangione’s...

A massive liberal donor network is planning to spend “ten of millions” of dollars on new media to counter conservatives. Democracy Alliance, founded in 2005 to pool liberal funds, spent most of 2024 trying to flip House seats in New York and California. The group has spent $2 billion on electoral campaigns, media outlets, and think tanks since its creation. But following the new media success of conservatives, the group is shifting its strategy to developing alternative media, Semafor first reported. “It became crystal clear after 2024 that we collectively had relied too much on forms of media that were...

I’m not a lawyer, and I’ve never played one on TV, so I won’t opine on the legal aspects of this story. However, I can give you my layman’s view, which is that this certainly smells rotten. To wit, a taxpayer-funded water park is holding a big party on June 1, and they’re going to have food, entertainment, and just good ole American fun. The catch: if you’re not Muslim, you’re not invited. No really. Paging Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division Harmeet Dhillon! 🚨ISLAMIFICATION ALERT🚨Grand Prairie, TX has an indoor water park called Epic Waters (no relation...

Today, Angel Studios releases an animated adaptation of George Orwell’s Animal Farm in theaters across the country. Conservative parents have a far better option that costs nothing more than a library card and an afternoon of their time. Read the book to your children instead. The novella runs roughly 30,000 words and takes the average reader about two hours to finish. With a child asking questions along the way, you have a three-hour education in the nature of power, the seductions of utopian rhetoric, and the bitter arithmetic of revolution. The film offers something else entirely. The film offers a...

Sure, it's not antisemitism. It's a political statement against Bibi Netanyahu or something. A benefit concert for the victims of the Bondi Beach massacre in Australia has been canceled because the choir that was scheduled to sing refused to share the stage with a Jewish choir group. You can't make this up. I used to love visiting Australia. This is very sad. https://t.co/2RRrABKrF7— Thrill Science ✡️ עם ישראל חי (@ThrillScience) April 28, 2026Surprised to find an action like this from the cultural elite? I'm not.

A federal appeals court on Tuesday lifted a judge’s order requiring officials to dismantle “Alligator Alcatraz” in response to a lawsuit filed by environmental groups. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit agreed with the Trump administration in a 2-1 vote that there wasn’t enough federal control over the immigration facility’s construction in Florida to trigger a federal environmental review. “Federal officials made no construction decision capable of triggering the Act,” wrote U.S. Circuit Judge William Pryor. Florida constructed the detention facility last year to assist with immigration enforcement. Located at the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport in...

A school in Minnesota is planning to construct a prayer room and foot-washing stations in order to accomodate its Muslim students. Osseo Area Schools confirmed to Alpha News reporter Liz Collin its ongoing upgrade plans will include a dedicated prayer space at Park Center Senior High School, along with foot washing facilities at Osseo Senior High School. The features are part of revised designs within the district’s “Building a Better Future” capital program, a roughly $375 million package approved by voters in 2022 and 2023. However, a spokesperson for Park Center Senior High School told Mail Online it was not...

Spain’s Council of Ministers will approve on Tuesday a royal decree initiating an extraordinary regularisation process for nearly half a million migrants in the country, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announced. In a post on X, Sanchez described the move as "normalisation," acknowledging the reality of nearly half a million people, calling it "an act of justice and a necessity." Underlining that Spain is ageing, Sanchez linked the role of migrants to the country being the fastest-growing economy in Europe. "Neither technology nor automation will solve this challenge on their own in the coming years. The path is clear: better integration,...

🚨#BREAKING: A HORRIFYING story is currently unfolding in DeKalb County GA where a Black man has allegedly just sh*t a woman in the face 6-7 times and st*bbed her multiple times while she was just walking her dog in her neighborhood. He was also allegedly in the process of se*ually assaulting her, when interrupted by neighbors who called the police. The man is believed to be targeting women and has allegedly sh*t AT LEAST two women today.

@elonmusk South Africa won’t allow Starlink to be licensed, even though I was BORN THERE, simply because I am not Black! We were offered many times the opportunity to bribe our way to a license by pretending that a Black guy runs Starlink SA, but I have refused to do so on principle. Racism should not be rewarded no matter to which race it is applied. Shame on the racist politicians in South Africa. They should be shown no respect whatsoever anywhere in the world and shunned for being unashamedly RACISTS!

The new film suggests that collectivism works well enough until capitalism gets its hands on it. Viewers reacting to the trailer on social media noticed this immediately, with one post summarizing the film’s apparent message with withering accuracy: “It’s 2025. And Animal Farm is a movie about communism working, and being ruined by capitalism.”

Earlier this week, the Trump administration took another step toward liberating the economy by rolling back a Biden-era rule that needlessly hampered oil and gas production. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said that, with this and several other deregulatory actions, the administration “is unleashing domestic energy and revising burdensome, unworkable Biden-era oil and natural gas policies.” That’s the good news. The bad news is that President Donald Trump has barely scratched the surface of the gargantuan administrative state, and other Trump policies are raising the cost of doing business, a report released today by the Competitive Enterprise Institute shows. In its...

[Javier Milei:] I thought it was a mental problem. I mean, some kind of block that doesn't even let them see the numbers.They are enemies of numbers. They hate numbers. [Dave Rubin:] Javier Malay in Argentina, well, he's doing a bangup job turning that country, which which its economy had been completely destroyed, their monetary system had been obliterated. They have turned it around almost completely in about two years. Here he is on what is wrong with the left. [Javier Milei:] At one point I thought being on the left was a mental problem. The empirical evidence is...

The story behind the New York Times’ 1903 claim that human flight was between one and ten million years away is even worse than it looks. Once you understand the backstory, you realize that the New York Times story is not really about flight at all but about how elites and credentialed “experts” mistake their own failures for the boundaries of possibility. The New York Times did not dismiss the possibility of powered flight at random. There was a very specific reason behind it. At the time, America’s most prominent scientific authority, Smithsonian Secretary Samuel Langley, had been showered with...

Feckless blue states are spending like there is no tomorrow, but tomorrow will come, and they’ll be demanding red state money to pay their debts. I begin by presenting three trends. One might even call them inevitabilities, and one might argue they’re not trends at all, but present realities that are intertwined and will tend to collapse in on each other, inevitably leading to the third inevitability. The first trend is a Congress of feckless fools: I’ll get to Lippencott’s final question momentarily, but our Congress does seem unable to accomplish anything of consequence, such as the SAVE Act, which...

“With increasing Islamophobia – the day will come where we have to ask ALL Women to wear a head scarf to show solidarity with those who do so for religious reasons” Christians are persecuted, slaughtered, and abused all over the world in horrific ways, yet these globalists never suggest that everyone wear a cross in solidarity with them. But Islam, once again, gets treated like the one and only protected faith that must be accommodated and now apparently modeled on the runway by women.
