Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) on Tuesday announced a “historic First Amendment victory” in a case brought against the Biden administration when he was Missouri’s attorney general.

“We just won Missouri v. Biden. As Missouri’s Attorney General, I sued the Biden regime for brazenly colluding with Big Tech to silence Missouri families — censoring the truth about COVID, the Hunter Biden laptop, the open border, and the 2020 election. They tried to turn Facebook, X, YouTube, and the rest into their private speech police, labeling dissent ‘misinformation’ while they pushed their narrative on the American people,” Schmitt explained.

An explosive new undercover video has exposed an alarming ballot fraud scheme in California, revealing that a major operation is underway to buy votes by paying homeless people to forge signatures of real voters, without their consent.

The footage, published by O’Keefe Media Group (OMG), is raising serious concerns about election integrity in California.

The reporting uncovers evidence of a coordinated scheme in which homeless individuals are paid to forge signatures using the identities of registered voters, without their knowledge or consent.

Petition circulators were filmed operating on Skid Row, paying individuals small amounts of cash to complete ballot petitions under assigned names and addresses.

California University Cancels Gubernatorial Debate Because Candidates Were All White– www.louderwithcrowder.com

Blurb:

USC was set to hold a debate for California’s gubernatorial candidates. There was no problem with this, so a disgruntled candidate made one up. Subsequently, the event was canceled less than 24 hours before the scheduled time because the candidates were too white for the left.

According to The Desert Sun:

Former U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, a Democratic candidate for governor, accused USC of using an “arbitrary formula that favors wealthy candidates” and said the criteria resulted in the exclusion of all candidates of color from the debate.

In other words, Becerra was beside himself, as he could not comprehend how he did not meet this “viability” score.

Maybe, just maybe, the reason he did not qualify for the debate had nothing to do with skin color and everything to do with the fact that he is polling at 3%.

USC said it stood by the independence of the data-driven formula used to determine candidate “viability,” but acknowledged the controversy had become a distraction from issues voters care about.

“We recognize that concerns about the selection criteria for tomorrow’s gubernatorial debate have created a significant distraction from the issues that matter to voters,” the university said, adding that it would “look for other opportunities to educate voters on the candidates and issues”.

A Democrat faces possible expulsion from Congress after federal prosecutors alleged that she stole millions in federal funds and used that money to finance her campaign.

The House Ethics Committee will host a public trial for Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-Fla.) on Thursday in connection with the allegations. According to reports, such public trials are rare and signal that Cherfilus-McCormick may be in deep trouble.

The defendants ‘conspired to steal that $5 million and routed it through multiple accounts to disguise its source,’ the DOJ alleged.

Indeed, she is already under federal indictment.

Back in November, the Department of Justice announced that Cherfilus-McCormick, her brother Edwin Cherfilus, and other co-defendants had been charged after they allegedly bilked millions from a FEMA-funded COVID-19 vaccination staffing contract.

Princeton professors discuss resisting Trump administration’s anti-DEI policies at panel

Faculty at Princeton University are organizing opposition to the Trump administration’s efforts to eliminate Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs, with panelists warning that the policies could affect academic freedom on campus.

About 30 professors gathered for a recent American Association of University Professors (AAUP) panel to discuss how faculty should respond to the Department of Education under President Donald Trump, as the group reportedly increased its meeting frequency in response to federal actions targeting DEI initiatives.

The panel featured Princeton professor Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor and Institute for Advanced Study professor emerita Joan W. Scott, who argued that recent federal policies reflect a broader effort to influence higher education. Taylor said at the meeting as reported by The Daily Princetonian that the changes have “created conditions of fear, intimidation, and repression on college campuses.”

Speakers also pointed to organizations such as the Heritage Foundation as influential in policy discussions surrounding higher education reform and DEI programs.

“We expect the defendant to remain detained and be deported following sentencing, due to the felony conviction.”

An illegal immigrant who identifies as transgender has pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a 14-year-old boy inside a Manhattan bodega last year, but will not serve additional jail time beyond the six months already spent in custody.

According to the New York Post, Nicol Alexandra Contreras-Suarez, a 31-year-old Colombian national, was admitted to Manhattan Supreme Court on Tuesday for charges of second-degree rape stemming from a February 2025 incident in East Harlem. Under the terms of the plea agreement, Contreras-Suarez was sentenced to six months behind bars.

As a result, Contreras-Suarez is expected to be released following formal sentencing on April 27. Federal immigration authorities may take Contreras-Suarez into custody at that time for potential deportation, though officials have not confirmed their plans.

Iran-Aligned Terrorist Group Threatens More Attacks After Jewish Ambulance Arson– townhall.com

Blurb:

The terrorist group that claimed responsibility for the attacks on Jewish ambulances in London issued a threat to the West, saying it would carry out more similar attacks on civilians.

The new organization, called The Islamic Movement of the Companions of the Righteous, has carried out terrorist attacks in other nations, including Greece and the Netherlands. It seeks to get revenge for wars in Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran, according to a statement it gave to CBS News:

A group that has claimed responsibility for a series of attacks targeting Jewish institutions across Europe told CBS News it will continue targeting U.S. and Israeli interests a day after three men were captured by security cameras torching ambulances used by a global Jewish medical organization in London.

Hours later, the little-known group claimed responsibility for another attack, in which a car was burned in a Jewish neighborhood in Antwerp, Belgium.

“We’ll keep threatening U.S. and Israeli interests worldwide until we’ve avenged every child in Gaza, Iran, Lebanon, and the resistance nations,” a person representing the Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia group (which translates as: The Islamic Movement of the Companions of the Righteous) told CBS News late Monday. “We urge people to stay away from Zionist and American interests and individuals to keep themselves safe.”

Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia first announced its existence in early March, after the U.S. and Israel launched the ongoing war on Iran. In the 25 days since, it has claimed a series of antisemitic attacks across Europe. The group’s channel on the Telegram messaging app, where it has published a series of propaganda videos, was created just last week.

“We killed all their leadership,” he said when CBS News’ Ed O’Keefe asked which Iranians the U.S. was now negotiating with. “And then they met to choose new leaders and we killed all of them. And now we have a new group, and we can easily do that, but let’s see how they turn out.”

“It’s — we have, really, regime change,” the president said. “You know, this is a change in the regime, because the leaders are all very different than the ones that we started off with that created all those problems. So this was, I think we can say, Jason, this is regime change, right?”

Iran’s new Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei is the son of the former supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, who was killed on the first day of the war. While the new leader has not been seen since he was tapped to succeed his father, and he’s believed to have been wounded in the same strike, there have been no signs of a disintegration of Islamic Republic’s well-defined power structure, with the powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard still defiant, and seemingly in control of Iran’s war effort.

The following is the prepared testimony of The Federalist’s Senior Legal Correspondent Margot Cleveland for a March 24 hearing titled “Arctic Frost: A Modern Watergate” before the Senate Subcommittee on Federal Courts, Oversight, Agency Action, and Federal Rights.

Chairman Cruz, Ranking Member Whitehouse, and Members of the Subcommittee,

Thank you for the opportunity to testify concerning the grave constitutional violations inflicted as part of the Arctic Frost investigation.

After the 2020 election, an anti-Trump FBI agent named Tim Thibault attempted to use the justice department to destroy the President. Thibault’s efforts led to the launch of Arctic Frost. Soon after, Merrick Garland tapped Jack Smith, a “hyper-aggressive prosecutor,” known to “overstretch the meaning and intent of the law,” to serve as Special Counsel.

Smith proved himself true to form, indicting Trump for allegedly violating a statute enacted in the aftermath of Enron, based in part on a theory of criminal liability the Supreme Court would later hold invalid. The Supreme Court would later halt Smith’s efforts to prosecute Trump for actions that fell within the President’s official duties.

The War with Iran May Already be Lost– sofrep.com

With special thanks to Lieutenant Colonel (retired) Timothy Grimmett.

If wars were won by bombastic press conferences, the White House should already be planning another military parade in our capital’s streets. In America’s latest war of choice, President Trump’s styled Secretary of “War” is emerging as the head cheerleader for our misadventure in Iran. Mr. Hegseth has already mistakenly defined what constitutes victory — the destruction of various portions of the Iranian Navy and military production facilities. Unfortunately, his definition is flawed. Despite possessing some military experience as a junior officer, he has shown that he is completely out of his depth. For most intents and purposes, the war with Iran might have been lost before the first missile was launched.

Some of the lessons that Mr. Hegseth should have learned by now:

Operational excellence is not a guarantee of strategic success — The best military on the planet cannot win a war if the national strategic objectives selected by the National Command Authority are faulty. This fact was proven in both Afghanistan and Iraq, which like Iran, were wars of choice and not necessity. Does Mr. Hegseth grasp the gap between his definition of victory and that of his boss?

Mr. Trump has demanded “unconditional surrender” of Iran — That choice could cost many lives. America demanded unconditional surrender of both Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. The word “unconditional” suggests that there will be no negotiated settlement. The only means of achieving that objective in Germany and Japan was first a land invasion of the “Father Land” followed by the deployment of atomic bombs over Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Is this where we are heading?

Another Victim of FISA Deception, This Time by the Mueller Team Investigating FISA Deception

pgnewser March 24, 2026 1

Walid Phares faced a 12-month period between 2017 and 2018 under a scrutinizing FBI microscope empowered by a deceived FISA court. The prosecutors withheld evidence that would have exonerated Phares and rendered the FBI’s search warrant requests invalid. The prosecutors were attorneys of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team investigating the Russian Collusion Hoax.

An investigation into why this evidence was withheld was never included in the team’s final report, even though it is directly tied to it. This deception mimics the very deception that triggered the Russian Collusion Hoax in the first place, manipulating and withholding evidence to FISA court judges to get the results the prosecutors wanted, the power to spy on domestic political opposition.

Newly released transcripts of a testimony from an unnamed FBI agent reveals his attempts to include the anomaly of the Phares case in the report was rejected by a senior member of Mueller’s team, Kevin Clinesmith. After the agent attempted to include not just the Phares FISA anomaly, but others, Clinesmith told him, “We can’t send this to DOJ.”

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman announced on Tuesday that his agency is rapidly progressing toward building a $20 billion base on the moon, instead of a space station that would orbit the lunar body.

At a daylong event, the NASA chief said the Trump administration’s priority for its national space policy is to “never again give up” the moon as the United States races China to establish a presence there first.

In accordance with that vision, Isaacman said a U.S.-flagged moon base is necessary to establish a lasting presence in space and will serve as a launching pad for other missions to nearby planets.

“The surface will be the technology proving ground for the capabilities required to undertake future missions to Mars, not to mention that it is safer and enables incredible opportunities for science,” Isaacman said in a message to NASA employees.

Those who were working on the Lunar Gateway space station will be redirected to developing the lunar surface base or other programs, he noted.

Psychiatry Journals have an Undisclosed Payments Problem

A study published in BMJ Open claims 14.2% of industry payments made to published authors were undisclosed in two major psychiatric journals.

Undisclosed Industry Payments Found in Top Psychiatry Journals – madinamerica.com

Research has shown that financial conflicts of interest (COIs) are a common issue in medicine and psychiatry, with a 2020 paper finding that 55.7% of US psychiatrists accepted some form of industry payment. Studies have found that the pharmaceutical industry spends billions of dollars per year making payments to clinical trial authors, DSM panel members, and FDA committee members, creating COIs at every level of the drug approval process. A 2021 Mad in America investigation revealed that industry paid psychiatrists alone $340 million between 2014 to 2020. The same investigation also reported that financial COIs were present in the testing of every new psychotropic drug approved by the FDA between 2013 to 2017.

A new study published in BMJ Open examines undisclosed financial COIs for physician-authors in two major US academic journals, the American Journal of Psychiatry (AJP) and the Journal of the American Medical Association Psychiatry (JAMA-PSY). The current work finds that 14.2% of industry payments ($645,135) made to authors published in these two journals between 2020 and 2022 were undisclosed. This research, led by Francis Gesel of the Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine, additionally finds that nearly all undisclosed payments (96.2%) were made to authors conducting randomized controlled trials (RCTs).

The authors write:

“In our study, 14.2% of the total payments in AJP and JAMA- PSY, amounting to $645,135.70, were undisclosed. These undisclosed payments predominantly comprised research payments (82.6%), with a smaller proportion being general payments (12.6%). The high prevalence of undisclosed payments suggests that existing disclosure policies are insufficient to ensure full transparency. ”

The Democrats have made it painfully, frighteningly clear that they intend to weaponize the government against President Trump, his allies, and anyone who didn’t sufficiently “resist” the Trump administration if they regain power. Susan Rice said last month, “When it comes to the elites, the corporate interests, the law firms, the universities, the media…it is not going to end well for them, for those that decided…that they would act in their perceived very narrow self interest,” Rice said, “which I would underscore is a very short-term self-interest and take a knee to Trump.”

… The biggest target thus far of the Democrat’s retribution plans are ICE agents. Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner vowed to hunt them down like Nazis. Eric Swalwell said he’d make their lives a living hell if he’s elected Governor of California. And several states, including Maryland and Rhode Island, have pushed legislation that would bar ICE agents from getting law enforcement jobs in the state, while Colorado advanced a bill allowing lawsuits against ICE agents.

The Supreme Court, however, has made it clear that the Democrat’s revenge plans may not pass constitutional muster, and they ruled against the Second Circuit and upheld that a Vermont officer had immunity.

Coloradans Get Opportunity to Vote on Transgenders in Sports and Transitioning Children

pgnewser March 24, 2026 0

In Colorado, two ballot initiatives have been approved that both deal with transgenderism. One measure would prevent physicians from performing surgeries on children to change the appearance of their gender. A second measure would prevent boys presenting as girls from participating in female sports.

The Colorado Times Recorder demonstrates Progressive media agit prop with its headline “How Christian-Right Activists Got Anti-Trans Initiatives on Colorado’s Ballot.” The headline vilifies opposition with a negative term (one this same media helped vilify), “Christian right” and stigmatizes being opposed to surgically transitioning children and allowing boys to participate in girls’ sports.

From Ballotpedia:

Initiative 109

The first measure that Colorado voters will decide on — Initiative 109 — would require school- and association-sponsored athletic teams to be classified in one of three categories based on sex: (1) males/men/boys, (2) females/women/girls, or (3) coeducational or mixed. Teams designated for females, women, or girls would not be open to male students or participants. Teams designated for males, men, or boys would not be open to female students or participants unless no corresponding female team is offered for that sport. The measure would not limit participation in teams designated as coeducational or mixed.

Initiative 110

The other measure on the General Election ballot in November — Initiative 110 — would prohibit healthcare professionals from performing surgeries on minors “for the purpose of altering biological sex characteristics,” as well as prohibit state and federal funds, Medicaid reimbursements, or insurance coverage from being used to pay for such surgeries. The phrase altering biological sex characteristics would be defined as “treatment in response to a minor’s perception of sex or gender” and would exclude treatment for medically verifiable disorders of sex development or acquired physical or chemical abnormalities and male circumcision.
