A federal appeals court has lifted a lower court order blocking a key immigration policy from President Donald Trump’s administration, allowing officials to resume deporting illegal aliens to countries other than their own.
In a 2–1 decision, the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals granted the administration’s request to pause a prior ruling that had declared the policy unlawful.
The decision allows the policy to remain in effect while the case moves forward on appeal.
The highest court in the EU, the Court of Justice of the European Union, has ruled that all 27 members states of the union must allow all citizens to have photo ID that matches their “lived gender.” The ruling is sure to bring the differences between progressive globalism and traditional Europeanism to a head.
EU’s top court rules all 27 member nations must recognize ‘transgender’ identities – lifesitenews.com
(LifeSiteNews) — On March 12, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) issued a landmark judgement ruling that all 27 EU member states must now create a functioning process for so-called “Legal Gender Recognition” (LGR) so that citizens exercising their EU right to move to a different country can be issued identity documents that match their “lived gender.” The judgement asserts the supremacy of EU law over national laws.
Specifically, the judgement targets countries such as Hungary, Slovakia, and Bulgaria, which do not permit the changing of sex on official IDs and reject the premises of gender ideology.
The case, C-43/24 Shipova, was brought by a transgender-identifying man in Italy, who has been trying for a decade to get his name and gender changed on official documents. The Bulgarian courts have denied this requests. In 2023, the Bulgarian Supreme Court issued a binding interpretation stating that lower courts cannot permit LGR; this followed a 2021 Constitutional Court ruling affirming that “sex” is biological and that the LGBT concept of “gender” does not exist in Bulgarian law.
Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) claimed in a press release that the FBI ran a disinformation campaign in 2020 to protect the Biden family from potential prosecution. This operation was called Round River. It was so secret not even the then FBI Director, Bill Barr, knew of its existence.
Grassley claimed, “in August 2020, FBI Supervisory Intelligence Analyst Brian Auten opened an assessment which was used by a FBI Headquarters (‘FBI HQ’) team to improperly discredit negative Hunter Biden information as disinformation and caused investigative activity to cease.”
FBI Op Tried To Thwart Investigation Into Biden Family Corruption – thefederalist.com
The U.S. attorney tasked in 2020 by Attorney General William Barr with vetting evidence related to the Biden family and Ukrainian corruption knew nothing about the recently revealed “Round River” FBI operation launched to neutralize all negative information and allegations of Biden family corruption.
That secret operation not only left the Pittsburgh-based U.S. attorney unaware of potentially relevant information, it also buried scores of derogatory allegations about the Biden family in the FBI’s prohibited access files, preventing them from being accessed by any other FBI officials.
Early this week, news broke that FBI agents had recently discovered “the opening memo and files” for an investigation branded Round River, which targeted individuals who shared or distributed allegations against the Biden family, and was also run out of the Pittsburgh office.
Jeffrey Epstein was officially a U.S. government agent according to a memo released among the Epstein Files. The claim comes from an unsigned memo that states, “At some point in time, Jeffrey Epstein worked for the United States government as a financial bounty hunter. He has retained significant political connections with both Israel and the United States.”
The memo’s credibility comes from another part of the note recommending further information about Epstein from other federal agencies. It also accuses Epstein of violating child exploitation and sex offender traveling laws, The memo gives more credence, though not a smoking gun, to the claim Epstein was a government agent.
U.S Government Hired Epstein as ‘Financial Bounty Hunter,’ Memo Reveals – slaynews.com
Explosive new revelations from the recently released Jeffrey Epstein files have revealed that disgraced financier and convicted child predator operated as a “financial bounty hunter” for the U.S. government while maintaining powerful political connections in both the United States and Israel.
The claim appears in an unsigned, undated memo contained within the massive trove of roughly 3 million documents made public following congressional legislation ordering the release of records tied to Epstein.
U.S. District Judge F. Dennis Saylor has ruled the Department of Education cannot receive student admission data from colleges and universities. The Department was seeking information on race, gender, standardized test scores, and GPAs of applicants. The data would be collected and reviewed in a way that does not expose student IDs.
The data is needed to determine whether colleges and universities are complying with a SCOTUS order ending affirmative action in college admissions. The ruling will be appealed. The lawsuit was initiated by 17 Progmerican states. We believe they are seeking to protect their Progmerican institutions from an American plumb line.
Court pauses ‘unprecedented’ federal demand for 7 years of college admissions data – thecollegefix.com
A judge has sided — for now — with the attorneys general for 17 states who recently filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Education’s demand for reams of student admissions data.
U.S. District Judge F. Dennis Saylor on Friday granted a temporary restraining order through March 25 blocking the department from collecting the data as he reviews the lawsuit.
The Taliban government of Afghanistan is accusing Pakistan of striking a drug rehab facility in Kabul that killed 400 plus people. Pakistan has been engaging in air strikes just inside the border of Afghanistan, allegedly targeting terror camp it says have been used to attack Pakistanis.
Afghanistan accuses Pakistan of killing 400 in hospital strike (VIDEO) — RT World News
Afghanistan has accused Pakistan of conducting an airstrike on a drug rehabilitation facility in Kabul, which Taliban officials said killed at least 400 people.
Pakistan has been striking alleged terrorist camps in Afghanistan since February, accusing the Taliban government of supporting attacks on Pakistani soil. The Taliban has denied any involvement in the string of terrorist attacks in Pakistan.
Taliban government spokesman Hamdullah Fitrat said the strike on Monday evening destroyed large sections of the Omid Addiction Treatment Hospital.
“Unfortunately, the death toll has so far reached 400, while around 250 others have been reported injured,” Fitrat wrote on X.
Afghan media published a video showing a building engulfed in flames.

Pakistan’s Information Ministry rejected the allegations as “false and misleading.”
The ministry said Pakistan targeted military sites and “terrorist support infrastructure,” including ammunition depots in Kabul and Afghanistan’s northeastern Nangarhar region.
“This misreporting of facts as a drug rehabilitation facility seeks to stir public sentiment while covering illegitimate support for cross-border terrorism,” the ministry wrote on X.
Pakistan has long accused Afghanistan of sheltering armed groups that carry out cross-border raids and terrorist attacks, including a bombing of a mosque in Islamabad in February that killed more than 30 people. The Taliban has denied providing aid to militants who attack its neighbor.
China’s National People’s Congress approved a new law called the “Law on Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress.” The law aims to harmonize the country’s 55 state-recognized ethnic minorities with the Han majority. The law was passed on March 12 and signed into law by Chairman Xi. The law takes effect on July 1st.
It is feared that the law will be used to further crack down on these minorities, leading to more genocidal pogroms such as were carried out against the Uyghurs (and are still going on). Some of the tactics of the past include forcing minority groups to have more abortions, taking children and raising them as Han, and banning the use of the minority group’s languages and artistic traditions.
China’s National People’s Congress this week approved a sweeping new law titled the Law on Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress.
Marketed by Beijing as a measure to foster “unity” among the country’s 55 officially recognized ethnic minority groups, critics — both inside and outside China — warn that it represents a significant legal entrenchment of policies that have long sought to assimilate, suppress, and control ethnic and religious minorities across the country.
Passed on March 12 and signed by President Xi Jinping, the new law will take effect on July 1. It mandates broad implementation of what the Chinese state calls a “strong sense of community of the Chinese nation” across government bodies, schools, enterprises, and social organizations. Mandarin Chinese is prioritized as the language of instruction and public life, effectively diminishing the official space for minority languages such as Uyghur and Tibetan.
Although framed as a measure to promote “progress” and “common prosperity,” outside observers argue the legislation cements an assimilationist agenda that undercuts minority identity and autonomy. Anthropologists and analysts note that the law expands the legal basis to restrict religious, cultural, and political activities of ethnic minorities and could be used to criminalize dissent or cultural expression as separatism.
After the U.S. 9th circuit court ruled religious groups cannot keep trans men out of women’s spaces, they receive a fiery dissent. 9th Circuit Judge Lawrence VanDyke began his dissent with the phrase, “This is a case about swinging d#%ks.”
He then added, “The fact that the religious owners of a traditional Korean, women-only, nude spa are prohibited by law from preventing a naked adult male, who remains sexually attracted to women, from exposing himself to thirteen-year-old girls tragically illustrates the sick and twisted consequences of erasing sex as a coherent legal category
My distressed colleagues appear to have the fastidious sensibilities of a Victorian nun when it comes to mere unpleasant words in my opinion, yet exhibit the scruples of our dearly departed colleague Judge Reinhardt when it comes to the government trampling on religious liberties and exposing women and girls to male genitalia,” he wrote. “That kind of selective outrage speaks for itself.”
Judge Blasts Liberal Colleagues For Forcing Christian Spa To Allow Men In Women’s Space: “Collectively Lost Their Minds” – louderwithcrowder.com
According to Judge Lawrence VanDyke, “the supposed adults in the room have collectively lost their minds.” He said this in response to his colleagues forcing a Chrisitan spa to admit men into female-only spaces.
“This is a case about swinging dicks,” began 9th Circuit Judge Lawrence VanDyke in his dissent.
The case in question centered on the policy of two Korean spas in Washington state that allowed only “biological women” to use their services — or more specifically, barred trans women who had not yet undergone surgery. Washington’s Human Rights Commission took enforcement action against the spas for violating an anti-discrimination state law. The spas sued, arguing that the enforcement action had violated their First Amendment rights. A district court dismissed the complaint, and a 9th Circuit panel upheld that dismissal. In a Thursday ruling, the full 9th Circuit declined to rehear the case.
OpenAI CEO and AI pioneer Sam Altman is suggesting AI will become like your utilities. He suggested, “People buy it from us on a meter and use it for whatever they want to use it for. We see a future where intelligence is a utility like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter and use it for whatever they want to use it for.”
Sam Altman tells BlackRock he wants AI on a meter ‘like electricity or water’ – theblaze.com
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has likened artificial intelligence to utilities that are required to live.
Altman was discussing his company’s plans during BlackRock’s U.S. Infrastructure Summit on Wednesday. A mix of politicians, union leaders, and industry executives were in attendance when he dropped the news about his vision for AI.
‘People buy it from us on a meter and use it for whatever they want to use it for.’
Speaking to Bayo Ogunlesi, chairman and CEO of BlackRock’s Global Infrastructure Partners, Altman likened AI to lifesaving utilities that are typically viewed as human rights.
“We see a future where intelligence is a utility like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter and use it for whatever they want to use it for,” Altman explained.
The CEO then claimed that the “demand” for metered AI usage is high and that the idea only continues to become more popular. His claims contained a warning though, in that “if we don’t have enough” AI, it will become too expensive and “kind of goes to rich people.”
This claim was seemingly based off Altman’s plans to build a massive AI infrastructure system in the United States through his Stargate Project.
Announced at the beginning of 2025, the Stargate Project is a $500 billion investment plan to build sprawling AI infrastructure for OpenAI and its partners by 2029.
This would allegedly “generate massive economic benefit for the entire world,” the press release stated.
However, as it stands, there is only one data center under the project currently operating: the flagship location in Abilene, Texas.
The 980,000 square foot site produces an estimated 200+ megawatts, capable of powering 50,000 NVIDIA GB200 NVL72s in each of its buildings — which are essentially AI supercomputers.
Another data center in Port Washington, Wisconsin, is scheduled to be open in 2028.
“If we don’t have enough [AI], we either can’t sell it or the price gets really high, and it, you know, kind of goes to rich people or society makes a bunch of sort of central planning decisions that I think almost always go badly about, you know, we’re going to use our limited compute supply for this and not that,” Altman said at the BlackRock event.
He added, “So the best thing to me throughout all the history of capitalism, innovation, whatever you want, is to just flood the market,” which seemingly means the flooding should go through OpenAI.

Las Vegas metro police are putting the constitution and the safety of the people above a Progmerican local judge, Eric Goodman, who has ordered a violent career criminal be released. The criminal, Joshua Sanchez-Lopez, has been convicted of multiple violent crimes, including involuntary manslaughter.
Police arrested the criminal on a warrant for grand larceny of a motor vehicle. The Judge chose to set a bail of $25,000 and let Sanchez-Lopez go with an ankle bracelet monitor. The police refused to follow the order, appealing instead to the court through a petition to not release the defendant.
Las Vegas Cops Refuse to Release Violent Repeat Offender, Defying Judge’s Order – American Greatness
Las Vegas Metro police are refusing to release a violent repeat offender, in defiance of a local judge’s order.
The career criminal, 36-year-old Joshua Sanchez-Lopez, has been arrested 35 times, with a rap sheet that includes involuntary manslaughter, drugs and car theft, according to the New York Post.
The legal standoff began in January, when police arrested Sanchez-Lopez on a warrant for grand larceny of a motor vehicle.
Justice Eric Goodman set Sanchez-Lopez’s bail at $25,000 and ordered his release with an ankle monitor once he posted bond.
The program allows defendants to leave jail and wear an ankle bracelet. Various levels of the program require different levels of confinement. Goodman ordered Sanchez-Lopez to high-level electronic monitoring, which Dickerson described as house arrest. About 450 defendants are in the program at a time.
Americans’ support for abortion without restrictions peaked shortly after the Dobbs ruling in 2022 at 29%. Since then, support has been slowly eroding. Now, the number is down to 23%, a low not seen since 2019.
New Poll: Support for Unlimited Abortion Falls to Lowest Levels Since 2019 – lifenews.com
The latest national survey by Pew Research Center reveals the percentage of Americans who believe abortion should be “legal in all cases” fell to its lowest point since 2019 – peaking at 29% after Dobbs in 2022 and dropping 6 points to 23% early this year. Overall, 76% of Americans believe there should be some limits on abortion.
The American Trends Panel survey of more than 8,500 respondents was conducted in January and released this week.
SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser commented:
“Outside of the Democratic Party elite, abortion on demand any time for any reason is a repellent, fringe position. The latest national poll shows it’s even less popular now than when then-Virginia Governor Ralph Northam came out for infanticide.
Over 480 national leaders from a wide spectrum of industries, including politics, entertainment, and ministry, will be gathering to read scripture from Genesis to Revelation. The commemoration hearkens back to Ezra reading scripture to the people after returning from the exile and preparing to rebuild the temple and the city of Jerusalem (Nehemiah 8:2-3).
The event will take place in Washington, D.C. along the National Mall. It will happen from April 18-26. Creator and organizer Bunni Pounds said of the event, “It hit me in that moment, looking at Ezra at the Museum of the Bible, that we really need an Ezra moment in our nation. We need Americans to realize who we are, just like Ezra stood up with a scroll and he read the Books of Moses to the Israelites. We have, in a lot of ways, forgotten who we are as Christians and as Americans, because the foundation of Scripture is absent from our life.
And so I thought, man, it would be awesome if we had national leaders from all spheres of influence, all demographics and denominations, if they would stand up humbly in front of the American people and tell us that this is where they get their life and their peace and their wisdom is in Scripture every day as individuals. And then what if we read the Bible all the way through as Americans for the 250th birthday?”
Echoes of Ezra: ‘America Reads the Bible’ Event to Gather Leaders to Rededicate Nation to God – Daily Signal
“Then Ezra the priest brought the Law before the assembly of men, women, and all who could listen with understanding, on the first day of the seventh month. And he read from it before the public square … ” (Nehemiah 8:2-3)
Of the many activities planned in conjunction with America’s 250th birthday, none can be expected to be as powerful, as impactful, as rich as what is set to take place April 18-25 along the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
Over 480 national leaders from politics, entertainment, ministry, and industry will be gathering at the Museum of the Bible for “America Reads the Bible,” a complete reading of Scripture from Genesis to Revelation.
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has helped federal agencies modify or cancel $2 billion worth of government contracts in the last 4 weeks alone, producing an overall savings of $757 million for the American taxpayer. DOGE’s similar efforts in the four weeks prior affected 273 government contracts, which led to a total savings of $1.4. This means DOGE is reporting a savings of over $2 billion in the last two months of work alone.
DOGE Cuts $2 Billion in Wasteful Contracts from Federal Agencies – slaynews.com
Federal agencies have eliminated or scaled back 95 government contracts worth up to $2 billion over the past four weeks, saving an estimated $757 million, according to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
The cuts are part of a broader effort launched during President Donald Trump’s second term to reduce federal spending and eliminate what officials describe as wasteful programs.
Millions in Contracts Scrapped Across Agencies
Among the contracts terminated:
• A $75,400 State Department deal for “media monitoring services”
• A $45.6 million Office of Personnel Management contract for “talent acquisition support”
• A $98.5 million Department of Education research contract tracking high school students
• A $76.4 million Education Department study on college financing and outcomes
The latest reductions follow an earlier wave of cuts.
Nine Antifa members will go down in U.S. history as the first Antifa members convicted of terrorism. Finding DAs willing to charge them of terrorism has been difficult, but these terrorists chose Texas as their target for attack. U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Lancy Larson was more than willing to charge them with terrorism. They were found guilty of terrorism by a federal jury in Fort Worth, Texas.
The nine antifa members were convicted of organizing an ambush-style attack on an ICE facility in Alvarado, Texas. The nine convicted terrorists are Cameron Arnold, Zachary Evetts, Benjamin Song, Savanna Batten, Bradford Morris, Maricela Rueda, Elizabeth Soto, Ines Soto, and Daniel Rolando Sanchez-Estrada.
Verdict Reached In Landmark Antifa Terrorism Trial – trendingpoliticsnews.com
A federal jury in Fort Worth, Texas, on Friday delivered guilty verdicts against nine individuals linked to a North Texas Antifa cell, marking the first successful use of terrorism charges against members of the leftist extremist group in U.S. history.
Friday’s verdict stemmed from last year’s organized, ambush-style attack on a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Alvarado, Texas.
The attack occurred when officers with the Alvarado Police Department responded to reports of a suspicious individual armed with a gun skulking outside the facility in the late hours of July 4. After approaching the suspect, officers were met with gunfire from “multiple people,” which struck one officer in the neck.
The injured officer was airlifted to a nearby hospital in Forth Worth and was later released. Police arrested multiple suspects in connection with the attack, who were believed to have disabled security cameras and attempted to lure officers away from the ICE facility before the shooting.
Charges were soon announced against nearly a dozen individuals accused of participating in a highly organized, ambush-style attack meant to kill ICE agents. “We’re here to tell you that late at night on July 4th, Friday night at approximately 10.37pm at the Prairieland Ice Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, 10 to 12 individuals dressed in black military-style clothing began shooting fireworks and engaging in acts of vandalism at the facility,” U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Nancy Larson said at the time.
Today, Governor Evers signed legislation expanding Wisconsin’s Safe Haven law, extending the time period in which an infant may be safely surrendered from three days to 30 days. The bill, authored by Senator Rob Hutton and Representative Rick Gundrum, is now 2025 Wisconsin Act 94.
The Safe Haven expansion brings Wisconsin in line with many other states and provides additional time for parents in crisis to safely and legally surrender a newborn at designated Safe Haven locations.
President Donald Trump revealed that Rep. Neal Dunn (R-FL) was told he could be dead by June due to a severe heart condition before a dramatic intervention by White House doctors helped turn the situation around.
The stunning account came during remarks alongside House Speaker Mike Johnson, who described the Florida congressman’s initial medical outlook as dire. Johnson first referenced the diagnosis while praising Dunn’s commitment to continuing his work in Congress despite the serious health concerns.
“[Dunn] had had a pretty grim diagnosis,” Johnson said. “I mentioned it to the president, and I said, ‘Congressman Dunn is a real champion and a patriot because he’s still coming to work.’ And if others got this diagnosis, they would be apt to go home and retire.”
“What was the diagnosis?” the president asked.
“It was… I mean, I think it was a terminal diagnosis,” Johnson said.
Trump then bluntly stated the gravity of the situation: “He would be dead by June.”
The Pentagon is launching a new task force to root out neo-Marxist ideology plaguing America’s war colleges, War Secretary Pete Hegseth announced on Thursday.
“We want military leaders who are critical thinkers; that have studied the principles upon which our Founding Fathers established this republic; and that are educated and prepared to win wars,” Hegseth said in a video message. “After the wokeness and weakness of Joe Biden’s administration, our warfighters deserve training with integrity; where the focus is on the warrior ethos, on deterrence, and on strength.”
Hegseth said that he has instructed Under Secretary of War for Personnel and Readiness Anthony Tata to establish a task force to “evaluate” America’s senior service colleges, where “our senior officers go to continue their education.” These institutions include the Army War College, Naval War College, National Defense University, and others.
Law-abiding citizens should not have to live this way. The public must have recourse when lunatic judges release career criminals back into the community.
In the meantime, at least some Nevada residents know that they can rely on their police to fight judicial tyranny.
According to KLAS-TV in Las Vegas, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department last week filed a petition with the Nevada Supreme Court rather than comply with an order from Las Vegas Justice Court Judge Eric Goodman, son of former Las Vegas Democratic Mayor Oscar Goodman, to release a dangerous career criminal under the department’s electronic monitoring program.
In January, police arrested 36-year-old Joshua Sanchez-Lopez on a charge of grand larceny of a motor vehicle. The defendant, a convicted felon most recently incarcerated after drug and involuntary manslaughter convictions, has an appalling 35 arrests on his record.
The Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) announced Thursday that it has determined four sham charities are directly bankrolling Hamas’s military wing and enabling its operations.
According to the Treasury Department, Hamas is hiding its revenue-generating activities behind civilian organizations, under the guise of humanitarian work, to support the group’s terrorist activities.
Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent was quoted in a press release yesterday, saying, “Hamas continues to finance its military wing by exploiting sham charities to support terrorist operations. The Treasury Department will not allow Hamas to misuse the charitable sector for its violent aims, and we will continue to target these networks wherever they operate.”
Four separate charities are accused of channeling cash to the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, which are suspected of carrying out some of the group’s most heinous terrorist activities.
Trump Admin STRIKES AGAIN!
The U.S. Treasury just sanctioned four sham “charities” funneling cash to Hamas terrorists and Qassam Brigades killers, posing as aid groups while funding rockets, tunnels, and murder.
President Donald Trump on Monday repeated his call to nations to help unblock the Strait of Hormuz, and complained that some were not very enthusiastic about providing help to Washington.
Trump wants nations to help police the strait after Iran responded to US-Israeli attacks by using drones, missiles and mines to effectively close the channel for tankers that usually transport a fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas.
“Some are very enthusiastic about it, and some aren’t. Some are countries that we’ve helped for many, many years. We’ve protected them from horrible outside sources, and they weren’t that enthusiastic. And the level of enthusiasm matters to me,” Trump said at an event at the White House.
Virginia Democrats are pushing ahead with more gun control. It is a reminder that the Democratic Party’s gun control agenda targets law-abiding gun owners and lets criminals completely off the hook.
The gun control proposals flowing through the Virginia legislature to Gov. Abigail Spanberger‘s (D-VA) desk are the typical incoherent Democratic talking points: banning the arbitrary category of “assault weapons,” banning “large capacity” magazines, and waiting periods for purchasing guns. Two of the most onerous requirements, as Jay Caruso wrote for the Washington Examiner, include requiring “a state-issued permit to purchase firearms, which would oddly extend to renting a firearm at a shooting range,” and “mandatory storage requirements” that restrict a gun owner’s ability to access his or her firearm in a timely manner in his or her own home.
None of this will do anything to solve gun crime. It is lost on Democrats, but criminals do not follow the law. They will acquire illegal “assault weapons” or magazines regardless of what you legislate. A Justice Department report from 2019 detailed how around 91% of gun criminals acquire their firearms through illegal means or from another person. Storage requirements won’t stop people who are already reckless enough to leave their guns around the house where small children can reach them, either.
Jeff had the story earlier today: there were reports that the now-dead Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was not happy about his son succeeding him. We might understand why: there are reports suggesting he could be gay. Once again, the rumor mill is spinning rapidly because it’s likely that his son, the new Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, is in a medically induced coma. He was severely wounded in an airstrike, which might have cost him one or both of his legs. He has no idea his dad or a large part of his family are dead, nor is he aware of the regional war happening right now.
Still, the memes to this news have been gold. Some we can’t share for obvious reasons, but they’re amazing nonetheless:
President Donald Trump announced Monday that White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles has been diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer but will continue serving in her role while undergoing treatment.
Trump shared the news in a post on Truth Social, praising Wiles for immediately confronting the diagnosis while remaining committed to her responsibilities at the White House.
“Susie Wiles is an incredible Chief of Staff, a great person, and one of the strongest people I know but, unfortunately, she has been diagnosed with early stage breast cancer, and has decided to take on this challenge, IMMEDIATELY, as opposed to waiting,” Trump wrote.
Pregnant mothers are facing a profound and troubling exception to the principle of bodily autonomy unfolding in their delivery rooms.
While competent adults in virtually every other medical context retain the absolute right to refuse treatment, pregnant women face a starkly different reality. In certain states, including Florida, courts have carved out a unique legal pathway allowing hospitals to seek emergency orders compelling cesarean sections against a woman’s clearly expressed wishes. These interventions transform what should be a collaborative medical decision into a state-enforced procedure in which the mother’s informed refusal is overridden.
A ProPublica/CNN investigation into court-ordered C-sections in Florida detailed how Cherise Doyley, a seasoned birthing doula with three prior children, found herself in labor at University of Florida Health in Jacksonville in September 2024. What should have been a moment of joy turned into a nightmare when hospital staff, deeming her desire for a vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC) too risky, initiated an emergency court hearing in her delivery room.
“It’s a real judge in there?” Doyley asked the nurse at the beginning of what would be a three-hour hearing. “Now this is the craziest thing I’ve ever seen.”

Ecuador began two weeks of operations against drug traffickers with support from the U.S., deploying thousands of police officers and soldiers on March 15.
The two-week campaign will target criminal gangs in several dangerous provinces, including Guayas, Los Rios and Santo Domingo de los Tsachilas, according to the Washington Examiner. The U.S. will provide material support. Officials have imposed curfews from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. in coastal regions until March 30.
“We’re at war,” Ecuadorian Interior Minister John Reimberg told locals in several provinces, the BBC reported. “Don’t take any risks, don’t go out, stay at home.”
He announced that Ecuador was deploying over 75,000 soldiers and police officers for the campaign, according to the outlet. Reimberg also wrote that 35,000 police officers were deployed in Guayas, Los Rios, El Oro and Santo Domingo de los Tsachilas in a post on X. “To the mafias: your time is up. Nothing can stop us,” the post said.

Donald Trump has slammed “terrible” Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer over the war in Iran. The US President said he was “very surprised” at Britain’s refusal to take part in the US and Israel’s offensive operations in Iran, which began on February 28.
UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has made clear that the UK wasn’t involved in the attacks, in which Iran’s former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was killed, along with dozens of senior figures in the country. Iran has retaliated by targeting US bases in neighbouring countries in the Gulf, sparking fears that a wider regional conflict could be unleashed.
Tehran also closed the Strait of Hormuz, a vital route for global oil trade connecting the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman, sending prices soaring.
Racist Democrats like Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., complain that black folks lack photo ID. Democrats insist that expecting supposedly witless or listless blacks to show poll workers photo ID is “Jim Crow 2.0.”
Democrats never offer to give IDs to these invisible legions of undocumented blacks. Imagine if Democrats handed photo ID to these poor, benighted souls: Blacks and others of color could cash checks, jet across America, get paid to shovel snow in New York City, and even vote in states with photo ID rules.
Democrats also attack SAVE for requiring birth certificates to register to vote. “Got one of those handy with you, in your purse?” Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill., prodded a congressional correspondent. “I doubt it.”
So, Senate Republicans should open the SAVE America Act proceedings by making Democrats vote first on legislation that I would call The Voting Documents for All Act.
• Any adult US citizen could visit his state’s DMV office and receive a free photo ID card (not a driver’s license).
• The federal government would reimburse states for the cost of each free photo ID card, plus 10%, to encourage their assistance. This would be a funded mandate.
In preparation for the SAVE Act, make sure you have the documents you may need including your official birth certificate. VitalChek makes it easy and secure to order certified vital records online. Be prepared. Get started today at https://t.co/TaESir8kme. pic.twitter.com/XKTDCCpMTp
President Donald Trump is pressing U.S. allies to send warships to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz after Iranian forces shut down large swaths of commercial traffic through the region.
In a Saturday post on Truth Social, the president noted that countries “who are affected by Iran’s attempted closure of the Hormuz Strait” would be sending ships to the area “to keep the Strait open and safe.”
He explained that while the U.S. has “already destroyed 100% of Iran’s Military capability,” it is “easy for them to send a drone or two, drop a mine, or deliver a close range missile somewhere along, or in, this Waterway.”
He said he hoped China, France, Japan, South Korea, the United Kingdom, and others would also lend their naval support to the effort to reopen the Hormuz Strait.
