    U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, jointly with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and other law enforcement partners, executed search warrants in Southern Mississippi that resulted in multiple arrests involving illegal immigration, cockfighting, and other criminal activity. The search warrants were part of an ongoing undercover investigation into the unlawful cockfighting in Harrison County, Mississippi. The arrests included United States citizens and suspected illegal aliens found at the site of the makeshift animal fights attended by some people from outside Mississippi. Two defendants, Alvin Smith III and Herbert Kasey Smith, were charged with violating the Animal Welfare Act for hosting the...

    VIDEOI was curious to see which TikTokker had the weirdest take on the death of Pope Francis. Although I did see a bunch of strange takes including a 900 year prophecy claiming his death would spark Armageddon, the observation connecting the Pope's death with Mississippi vampires is, if not the weirdest take, definitely the most creative one.
  • Exclusive — Gov. Tate Reeves on Mississippi Phasing Out State Income Tax: We’re Bringing Back ‘Competitive Advantage’

    Mississippi is bringing back a “competitive” edge with Gov. Tate Reeves’ (R) signing of legislation to phase out the state income tax, and he discussed what this means for the state during an appearance on Breitbart News Saturday. “So this is House Bill 1 that I signed into law on Thursday afternoon. And honestly, Matt, it’s really what I have called Mississippi’s one big, beautiful bill, and it is a bill that does a couple of different things,” Reeves began, explaining that it reduces the sales tax on groceries across the state and, over a period of time, eliminates the...

    Good news for the people of Mississippi—lawmakers have finally removed the state income tax. Mississippi is now joins Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Washington, Texas, and Wyoming in eliminating this excessive and predatory taxation practice. The first income tax was created in 1861 during the Civil War as a mechanism to finance the war effort. In addition, Congress passed the Internal Revenue Act in 1862, which created the Bureau of Internal Revenue, an eventual predecessor to the IRS. The Bureau of Internal Revenue placed excise taxes on everything from tobacco to jewelry. However, the income tax did...
  • Granholm Hid a Study That Showed LNG Helped the Climate

    We now have more information on the corruption involved in the pause in LNG exports. Joe Biden approved the pause but didn’t know he did. When questioned by Speaker Johnson, Biden said he wouldn’t do that. During the Houthi attacks and the Ukraine crisis, Biden paused all LNG shipments to Europe. He halted the approval process for export licenses and facilities being built/planned to save the climate. A Louisiana judge granted a stay. It turns out that Secretary Granholm, a wholly unprincipled agent for the hard left, buried a report with data and conclusions refuting the premise they used to...

    An upcoming 60 Minutes investigation into the drone sightings that took place toward the end of 2024 promises to reveal more about the government's knowledge and response to the still largely-unexplained phenomena. In a preview for the special, CBS News correspondent Bill Whitaker speaks with Mississippi Senator Roger Wicker, Chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee, inquiring about the intelligence community's thoughts on the mysterious sightings and whether these could have been an attempt at espionage by a foreign power. "I am privy to classified briefings at the highest level," Wicker said. "I think the Pentagon and the National Security...

    The U.S. Navy is transforming a costly flub into a potent weapon with the first shipborne hypersonic weapon, which is being retrofitted aboard the first of its three stealthy destroyers. The USS Zumwalt is at a Mississippi shipyard where workers have installed missile tubes that replace twin turrets from a gun system that was never activated because it was too expensive. Once the system is complete, the Zumwalt will provide a platform for conducting fast, precision strikes from greater distances, adding to the usefulness of the warship. “It was a costly blunder. But the Navy could take victory from the...

    President Donald Trump was asked by a reporter Friday about Sen. Roger Wicker’s (R-MS) comments criticizing Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s speech about Ukraine as a “rookie mistake,” and replied he had not heard about it. Hegseth’s remarks at the Ukraine Defense Contact Group in Brussels Wednesday — his first visit to NATO headquarters — raised eyebrows when he said that Ukraine would not be allowed to join NATO or return to its borders before the Russian invasion. These comments were criticized for yielding key negotiation points before the talks had even begun, and Hegseth soon walked them back. Wicker,...

    Ohio Democrats are looking to make a statement in favor of killing unborn babies by abortion by introducing the “Contraception Begins at Erection Act.” The bill, which will be introduced by Democrat state Reps. Anita Somani and Tristan Rader, would make it illegal for men to have sex without trying to create a child, Local12 reported. The bill is modeled after similar legislation introduced by Democrat Mississippi state Sen. Bradford Blackmon. “Fair is fair, right?” Somani said in video posted to Bluesky. “If this legislature is so dedicated to regulating women’s bodies and their access to contraceptives and abortion care...

    So many Democrats shouted things like "we're never going back" during last year's election season, and I think they might be right. It's just that the way forward was not what they thought it would be. Their open-borders, pro-criminals policies over the last four years have created an anti-immigration zeal in the U.S. Take for example, Mississippi House Bill 1484, which if it is passed will create the Illegal Alien Certified Bounty Hunter Program. The bill was authored by state Rep. Justin Keen (R) and authorizes certified bounty hunters to round up illegal immigrants for deportation at $1,000 a pop....

FBI Agents gave testimony focusing on items found in Ashqar's home during a search of his Oxford Mississippi residence on December 26, 1993, in addition to wiretaps of his phone and fax lines.

Benabidez further described the December 1993 search of Ashqar’s home where a team of agents from the FBI photographed over 1600 documents. A few of those documents which...

    A group of Republican-led states filed a lawsuit on Friday challenging a ban announced by outgoing Democratic U.S. President Joe Biden earlier this month on new offshore oil and gas development along most U.S. coastlines. The lawsuit seeks a reversal of Biden’s ban with declaratory and injunctive relief, according to a court filing that argued Biden did not have the authority to impose such a ban and that the power to do so rests with the U.S. Congress.

    Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi says if President Biden offered him a preemptive pardon for his role in leading the investigation into then-President Donald Trump's role in the 2021 Capitol riot, he'd accept it. Thompson, who was the chair of the House select committee investigating Jan. 6, embraced the idea of a pardon in an interview with CBS News, saying Tuesday, "I'm from a part of the country where speaking your opinion used to cost you your life." "When I hear someone about to be sworn into the presidency of the United States say he wants to lock you...

    A white Democratic governor issues an obviously illegal order. A white Democratic Secretary of State issues a patently inaccurate, and wholly unauthorized, “legal opinion.” And Democratic legislators agree to boycott a legislative session en masse, all in a desperate attempt to prevent the first black Speaker of the House in their state’s history from taking office. We’ve seen this story before. It’s Mississippi in the 1960s, right? No, actually: it’s Minnesota in 2025. Scott and I have written about the Minnesota Democrats’ illegal power grab–really, an attempted coup–in which they hope to take control over the Minnesota House of Representatives,...

    Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) compared President-elect Trump’s talk of acquiring Greenland to the Louisiana Purchase. Fetterman joined Fox News, alongside Sen. Katie Britt (R-Ala.), on Tuesday to discuss the concern surrounding Trump’s call to acquire the Danish territory as he prepares to take office again. “There’s a lot of talk about Greenland, for example, and … there’s a lot of freak-outs and of course, I would never support taking it by force,” Fetterman said. He continued, noting it would be a “responsible conversation” to discuss acquisition, including “just buying it out.” “If anyone thinks that’s bonkers, it’s like, well, remember...

    A thin-skinned Liz Cheney could not help herself in firing back at President Trump on Friday over his savage remarks regarding the medal she received from Joe Biden and ended up making a huge error in the process. As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Biden awarded the second-highest civilian medal to 20 individuals on Thursday. These included the leaders of the January 6th select committee, Cheney and Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), along with two of his longtime friends/cronies, former Senators Ted Kaufman (D-DE) and Chris Dodd (D-CT). The award, known as the Presidential Citizens Medal, is generally given to Americans...

    Not soon after the general election, and within two weeks of each other, two major financial institutions have left a United Nations Net Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA). This is after they joined three years ago, pledging to require environmental social governance standards (ESG) across their platforms, products and systems. According to the "bank-led and UN-convened" NZBA, global banks joined the alliance, pledging to align their lending, investment, and capital markets activities with a net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, NZBA explains. Since April 2021, 145 banks in 44 countries with more than $73 trillion in assets have joined NZBA, tripling...

We told you about the kids-for-cash judge who took bribes to send children to private, for-profit prisons. One of the people President Biden granted clemency to was an Indian-American doctor who defrauded cancer patients by not providing them with their fully prescribed chemotherapy drugs while billing Medicaid for millions.
