A. TRENDING
- DOJ CLOSES BIDEN AUTOPEN INVESTIGATION, SOURCE CLAIMS – After another round of much sound and fury signaling nothing, the GOP’s Department of Justice has allegedly quietly shut down its Biden autopen investigation in much the same way it has tried to bury the Epstein Files investigation. The claim comes from the Washington Examiner, which cites an anonymous source. The Department of Justice has refused to comment when asked by the press about the claim.
- TRUMP SIGNALS THE NEXT LEADER OF IRAN WILL BE TRUMP-APPROVED – The war plan by the U.S. and Israel to annihilate Iran’s effective military power seems to be ahead of schedule, with the navy already largely destroyed and its missile capacity reduced by more than 80%. The plan is going so well, talk of the regime’s replacements have already gotten serious.
President Donald Trump has signaled that any peace with Iran will have to include the President being able to approve of the leader the next regime selects to lead it. President Trump told the press, “They are wasting their time. Khamenei’s son is a lightweight. I have to be involved in the appointment, like with Delcy [Rodriguez] in Venezuela. Khamenei’s son is unacceptable to me. We want someone that will bring harmony and peace to Iran… Most of the people we had in mind are dead.”
- NOTE: Expect a bellwether report on the Iran war in the next Weekly MIA (barring unforeseen breaking news).
- KRISTI NOEM FIRED – Kristi Noem received a summary demotion from President Donald Trump a day after a Senate hearing exposed a massive $220 million DHS ad campaign that seemed more about promoting Kristi Noem than DHS. Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) all but accused Noem of lying when she claimed President Trump approved the campaign in advance. Action by President Trump would indicate she did not, indeed, seek prior approval before she ran a pro-Noem campaign using American tax dollars to do it.
Noem will be reassigned as “Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas,” which President Trump called “our new Security Initiative in the Western Hemisphere.” Trump has chosen Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) to replace him. The Senator is popular with the MAGA base. He is known for his firebrand confrontations with Progmericans during Senate hearings.
- THREATENING CORPORATIONS THAT FOLLOW TRUMP’S WISHES MAY HAVE COST NETFLIX THE WARNER BROTHERS PURCHASE – Paramount has been announced as the new future owner of Warner Brothers Discovery. The company’s CEO is a Trump supporter, which makes the staff of CNN very nervous since Warner Brothers Discovery also owns CNN. Netflix was positioned to purchase the property, but public statements by one of their board of directors may have blown the deal for them.
Susan Rice, a long-time Obama-Biden cabinet member, warned that corporations which are willing to take a knee to Trump can expect criminal prosecutions when her party returns to power. Calls for Netflix to nix the political terrorist have fallen on deaf ears, leading to a growing movement to boycott Netflix. President Trump amplified the message, posting “Netflix should fire racist, Trump Deranged Susan Rice, IMMEDIATELY, or pay the consequences.”
- CONSEQUENCE OF SCOTUS RULING ALREADY HITTING COURTS AS TRUMP ADMIN PLEDGES IT WILL PAY INTEREST ON TARIFF REFUNDS – Should the Trump administration lose in the courts and be forced to refund “American” businesses, they are committed to pay interest on the refunds, they informed the courts. Judges have already signaled a willingness to fast-track the process, as we predicted would happen in our report on the Tariff ruling on page 2. In addition to the refunds for U.S. companies, foreign companies are also lining up for their cut of the SCOTUS plunder. Revenues collected through these struck-down tariffs are estimated to be around $170 billion.
- FBI ADMITS MORE THAN 100 TERABYTES OF EPSTEIN EVIDENCE WERE DELETED – Whatever the DOJ has on hand that it is calling the “Epstein Files,” it is hardly as much as what it could have been. According to a just-now discovered testimony in 2024 by FBI Agent Aaron Spivack, a hack into their NY Field Office during the 2023 Superbowl led to the FBI losing access to more than 500 terabytes of data. 100 Terabytes would turn out to be lost for good.
- TEXAS PRIMARY FINISHES CROCKET, KEEPS CORNYN ALIVE – The Texas Senate Primary races were the main feature of Tuesday’s midterm primaries, which were also held in Arkansas, North Carolina, Alabama, and Mississippi. In Texas, DNC race hustler Jasmine Crocket lost to James Talarico, a far-left “Christian” who claims God is non-binary and ok with abortions.
In the GOP race, Senator John Cornyn failed to get a majority vote, so a run-off race between himself and his closest challenger, Attorney General Ken Paxton, will happen in May. Paxton has offered to drop out of the race if Cornyn commits to passing the SAVE Act, even if it means voting to change the filibuster rule to require it to be verbal, not merely procedural.
- VENEZUELA BECOMES A DE FACTO U.S. ALLY – The United States and Venezuela have officially restored diplomatic and consular relations that President Trump claims will lead to favorable oil and rare earth mineral deals for the U.S., deals that freeze Russia and China out of the equation. U.S. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said of the agreement, “When we are working together it can only mean two things, which is prosperity for the people of Venezuela and for the citizens of the United States, and it also brings peace and stability for the world.”
- ISLAMIST SHOOTER KILLS 3, INJURES 17 IN TERROR ATTACK ON AUSTIN, TX BAR – 53-year-old Islamist Ndiaga Diagne opened fire on an Austin, Texas bar, killing 3 and injuring 17 others before being killed himself by the police. He was wearing a “Property of Allah” shirt and has connections to a local Islamist community with suspicious ties to Islamist terrorist organizations. The attack came just after the Ayatollah Khomeini was confirmed killed in aerial strikes, leading many to believe this was related to the war on Iran.

- WALZ CAUGHT LYING THAT JUDGE ORDERED HIM TO RESTART FRAUDULENT “CHARITY” – In an exchange with U.S. House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), Governor Tim Walz (D-MIN) was caught lying about a claim he restarted the fraudulent “Feeding our Future” charity because a judge ordered him to. When confronted with the Judge’s statement refuting the claim, Walz changed his testimony, claiming he merely took the advice of his counsel, who told him the Judge ordered the funding to restart.
The key exchange came when Jordan asked if the Judge was lying, or his counsel was lying. To that question, he responded, “I can’t tell you!” Pressed further, he claimed, “I just know what the attorneys said.”
- VA ATTORNEY GOT LETTER WARNING HIM ILLEGAL HE WAS ABOUT TO RELEASE WOULD KILL AGAIN, AND HE DID – Fairfax County Commonwealth Attorney Steve Descano chose to release an illegal immigrant, Abdul Jalloh, despite being warned directly that if he did so, someone WOULD be killed. Jalloh then allegedly murdered Stephanie Minter at a bus stop, stabbing her to death, a murder that, again, the police directly warned Descano would happen if he let him go. Independent Virginia reporter Nick Monock obtained an email copy of the letter the police sent to Descano.
Monock offered this commentary in response to the email, “… the police were warning the prosecutor’s office that if this guy was released back into the community again something like this could happen. The murder of Stephanie Minter. And it did. Mr. Jalloh has more than 40 past charges, and almost every case, Descano’s office dropped those charges and released this illegal immigrant, violent offender, back into the community. And they had a warning from the police department.”
GO DEEPER ON VIRGINIA INSURRECTION
- SCOTUS STOPS HIGHER COURTS FROM CONTINUING CASES SETTLED BY IMMIGRATION JUDGES – The Supreme Court ruled unanimously that higher courts must stop ruling on immigration cases that have been adjudicated by Immigration Judges in asylum cases. Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote the ruling, stating, “the agency’s determination whether a given set of undisputed facts rises to the level of persecution under §1101(a)(42)(A) is generally ‘conclusive unless any reasonable adjudicator would be compelled to conclude to the contrary.’”
The ruling puts a significant limit on district courts, especially, which have been interfering with an inordinate number of asylum cases. Many of these judges are from the batch of judges the GOP lazily allowed to be approved during the last weeks of the Biden administration.

B. HEADLINES YOU MAY HAVE MISSED
- DNC MAYOR STAYS IN OFFICE AFTER FIANCÉ CONVICTED OF BEING CCP SPY – The Mayor of Arcadia, CA is a naturalized U.S. citizen from China, whose fiancé was recently convicted of being a CCP spy. The fiancé, a green card holder named Yaoning “Mike” Sun, was the fiancé of Mayor Eileen Wang, a Democrat and potentially STILL a member of the CCP. She emigrated from China more than 30 years ago.
So far, Wang has refused to resign. This type of CCP activity is only a small part of the rising evidence of widespread CCP influence across both political parties, but significantly more substantively among Democrats, their natural “allies.”
- COPS WHO STOPPED AUSTIN ISLAMIST SHOOTER NOW FACE GRAND JURY AS A THANK YOU – The three hero cops who prevented the Muslim terrorist in the Austin shooting from killing more people than he did are now facing a Grand Jury investigation. The Travis County DA is known for using a Grand Jury process he created that requires every officer-involved shooting to go before a Grand Jury even when the shooting is deemed justified, as it was in this case.
The policy itself was allegedly pushed by a special interest group called the Wren Collective, which has ties to far left, and pro-Islamist organizations. The key part of the Grand Jury is that the jury only gets to see the prosecutor’s unchallenged evidence. The prosecutor is also not required to present exculpatory evidence.
- CANADA APPROACHES 100K EUTHANIZED, WHILE THE POOR ARE NOW ELIGIBLE FOR MAID, AND CHILDREN MIGHT SOON BE – Amir Farsoud, 54, is being guided towards state-assisted suicide through Canada’s MAiD. While he suffers from chronic back pain, his reason for applying for MAiD was because he can no longer work, and Canada does not give him enough money to avoid becoming homeless. He’d rather die than become homeless, and now, in Canada, you can legally be killed for that fear alone.
So far, almost 100,000 Canadians have been murdered (aborted) by the state, legally, according to a report by the Special Joint Committee on Medical Assistance in Dying. That same group is now recommending “mature minors” be allowed to consent to suicide as well.
- RING’S SEARCH PARTY IS A POLICE STATE TROJAN HORSE – Amazon’s Ring Camera has added a Search Party feature critics say enables Amazon to build a pre-crime database that the state (or the corporation) could use to quickly tamp down dissent. An email from Ring Founder Jamie Simonoff is giving credence to those concerns.
He wrote, “I believe that the foundation we created with Search Party, first for finding dogs, will end up becoming one of the most important pieces of tech and innovation to truly unlock the impact of our mission. You can now see a future where we are able to zero out crime in neighborhoods. So many things to do to get there, but for the first time ever, we have the chance to fully complete what we started.”
- DEARBORN MUSLIMS MOURN DEATH OF AYATOLLAH, CURSE AMERICA – A major Shiite Mosque in Dearborn, Michigan was caught holding a memorial service for the rightly executed leader of Iran, Ayatollah Khamenei. During the service, they praised the Ayatollah’s martyrdom and called America “devil worshipers” on “stolen land.” The language was incendiary and insurrectionist in nature. The report warrants further investigation by federal authorities.
- PLANNED PARENTHOOD’S SEX EDUCATION PROGRAM IS A MARKETING PLAN TARGETING THE RAINBOW – Planned Parenthood is running a “sex education program” for teens between the ages of 14 and 19 in the LBTQ and gender-bending spectrum. The program’s stated goal is this, “IN·clued will address health disparities affecting LGBTQ+ youth, who are disproportionately impacted by unintended pregnancies.” The program both encourages sexual expression and encourages abortion as a solution to “unintended pregnancies.” It is, in effect, a marketing program to find new customers in “un-serviced” markets.
