    When Congress passed the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) in March 2021, it allocated $350 billion in assistance to state and local governments – providing the largest infusion of cash to local governments since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. For New Orleans, that money represented a desperately needed lifeline. The city had been hit particularly hard by COVID-19. It was an early hotspot for the virus. And Black residents, who comprise about 60% of the city’s population, were disproportionately impacted, accounting for more than 75% of COVID deaths in the first few months of the pandemic. As...

    A suspected ISIS member was arrested in connection with the Jan. 1 attack on Bourbon Street that killed 14 people and injured at least 57 others, Iraq's judiciary said Sunday. Following a request from the U.S. for assistance in the investigation, Iraq’s Supreme Judicial Council said the individual “was arrested for inciting the Jan. 2025 truck attack in the United States," according to Al Arabiya News, a Saudi state-owned international Arabic news channel. The unnamed suspect is “a member of the external operations office of the Daesh terrorist organization" — the Arabic acronym for the Islamic State group known ISIS....

    Being a radio talk show host for the last 26 years has been a true privilege. It has allowed me the opportunity to express my views on the air, exchange ideas with listeners and interview some of the most powerful and interesting guests in the world. After starting on the radio, I was fortunate enough to be able to launch a television show, a political comedy show, a weekly column and eventually author a book. All these activities were done to communicate important ideas with the public and attempt to influence our nation’s political environment in a positive way.

    Deep in your heart you knew there are tax-payer’s money wasted somewhere in the whole Russian spy drama. Why did the Obama administration and the Russian government wanted to get rid of them so fast? We may never know. However we can prove that USAID funded the agro- and eco-tourism project in 2004 run by the company 4Vlast for which Anya Chapman and Vasily Kushchenko worked at the time. As you know from the previous research Chapman was the London contact person for the 4Vlast firm, Kushchenko was running their tourism firm and worked for the 4 Vlast Mrs. World...

    The NFL 'immediately' sent a letter of apology to Lil Wayne after announcing last year that Kendrick Lamar had been chosen to perform the Super Bowl halftime show. Lil Wayne was denied the chance to headline this year's halftime show in New Orleans, a move which sparked outrage given his famous association with the Big Easy - where he was born and raised. And to add to the controversy, Kendrick's performance at the Superdome was heavily criticized by viewers who were left underwhelmed on Sunday night. The Not Like Us rapper, who included his famous diss track about bitter rival...

    **SNIP** Those busts included dozens of members of the vicious Venezuelan Tren de Aragua prison gang — as well as multiple MS-13 gang members — at least five “career criminals” nabbed by the Drug Enforcement Administration and scores of others wanted for murder, kidnapping, child molestation and more. ICE has shared daily “enforcement updates” on X since Jan. 23, outlining their daily arrest totals, as well as detainers lodged — formal requests for inmates to be held until they can be picked up by immigration officials. Through Tuesday, officials made 5,537 arrests and lodged 4,333 detainers, giving authorities a running...

    Newly released police bodycam footage captured the shocking moment the New Orleans terrorist was shot and killed by police in the New Year's Day attack. The footage showed how heroic cops sprang into action to kill ISIS terrorist Shamsud-Din Jabbar after he plowed through a crowd of revelers and shot at police and bystanders. The video shows three New Orleans police officers surrounding Jabbar's Ford F-150 and ordering him out of the car, which had been used to kill 14 people and injure dozens more. A fourth officer whose bodycam footage was released, named as officer Luis Robles, then ran...

    Motta, her fiancé, Sean Alfortish, who is a disbarred lawyer, and several others all took part in the complex conspiracy in which individuals orchestrated car accidents, including intentionally colliding with 18-wheelers, around the New Orleans area, prosecutors alleged, according to reports. The drivers, known as the slammers, would cause the crash, and then flee the scene with the help of another getaway driver, according to the US Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Louisiana. The slammer’s passenger would then claim to be operating the vehicle leading up to the car wreck, the feds said. The scheme also involved individuals...

    A terrorist attack at 3:15 a.m. on New Year’s Day exposed to the world the deadly consequences of the dysfunctional leadership of New Orleans. The Crescent City has been controlled by the Democratic Party since 1872, when the last Republican Mayor left office. The current Democrat Mayor, LaToya Cantrell, is thankfully in the final year of her second term in office. She has been enmeshed in controversy from the beginning of her tenure as Mayor.

    Would they do such a thing? Trust in our government has lowered to the point that some people are suggesting that the New Orleans jihad massacre was aided and abetted, or even concocted, by the feds in order to stir up unrest as Trump prepares to return to the presidency, or to create a pretext for some other action. Some of those who are making suggestions of this kind, such as Candace Owens, just want to find some plausible way to blame Jews, or to claim that it’s all in the service of trying to get the U.S. involved in...

    Just two days into the new year, and America is already facing a series of dire circumstances. Around 3:00 a.m. on New Year’s Day, New Orleans was hit with what many believe is a terrorist attack after a man rammed through a crowd in a truck bearing an ISIS flag. He killed multiple people and injured dozens of others. However, later that same day, a Tesla Cybertruck outside of the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas exploded in what appears to be another alleged terror strike. The only person killed was the man inside the vehicle at the time of...
