The U.S. media instinctively trust Iran, instead of their own country’s president, Co-Host Jesse Watters said on Fox News Channel’s “The Five” on Monday.
Watters said he saw the reports earlier in the day after returning from “a news blackout”:
“And, I get back and I see that Trump’s announced he’s negotiating with the Iranians and the Iranians say, ‘No, we’re not.’”
“And, the U.S. media believes the Iranians. Just like that,” Watters said.
A new report from the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute estimates that more than 1.12 million babies were killed in abortions in 2025.
That is a heartbreaking figure that remained virtually unchanged from the previous year despite state-level restrictions following the 2022 Dobbs decision. It provides more evidence that pro-life states need to keep fighting mail-order abortions and President Donald trump and the FDA need to step in to reverse the Biden rule allowing them.
The analysis put the estimated total at 1,126,000 abortions in the U.S. in 2025 — “that’s pretty much unchanged from 2024,” according to Isaac Maddow-Zimet, a data scientist at the Guttmacher Institute.
Pro-life advocates have decried the persistent high number of abortions as a continuing tragedy, noting that it equates to more than 3,000 unborn children losing their lives each day.
Democrat Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker refuses to say whether he will honor an ICE detainer request for an illegal alien accused of killing an 18-year-old college student.
Loyola University freshman Sheridan Gorman was walking in a park on Thursday morning around 1:00 a.m., to “catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights” when Medina-Medina allegedly approached her. Gorman “attempted to flee,” but Medina-Medina allegedly shot her in the head. Gorman was pronounced dead at the scene, according to local reports and the Department of Homeland Security.
ICE has “lodged an arrest detainer asking sanctuary politicians to not release” Medina-Medina, DHS said. But Pritzker’s office refuses to say whether he will honor the detainer request for the alleged murderer.
“Our thoughts are with the family, friends, and Loyola University community grieving the senseless murder of Sheridan Gorman,” a representative for Pritzker’s office told The Federalist when asked whether Pritzker would honor the ICE detainer request for Jose Medina-Medina.
A Georgia woman is facing murder and drug charges after her born-alive baby died shortly after she used illegally obtained drugs in an attempt to end her pregnancy.
Corporate media want Americans to believe that the charges levied against Alexia Zantail Moore are unprecedented, unfair, and all about abortion, since Moore allegedly tried to abort her baby with mail-order misoprostol, a drug often used in combination with mifepristone to initiate chemical abortions.
Author Wynton Hall reveals in his new book Code Red: The Left, the Right, China, and the Race to Control AI that the worship of artificial intelligence as a literal deity is not science fiction. It is already happening, complete with IRS-registered churches, robot priests, and AI confessionals.
CODE RED explains that a former Google AI engineer and self-driving car pioneer named Anthony Levandowski filed paperwork with the IRS in 2017 to register a new church called “Way of the Future.” Its stated doctrine was centered on “the realization, acceptance, and worship of a Godhead based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) developed through computer hardware and software.” In an interview with Wired, Levandowski described AI in blunt terms: “What is going to be created will effectively be a god. If there is something a billion times smarter than the smartest human, what else are you going to call it?”
Diversity, equity and inclusion efforts are still underway at Washburn University in Kansas despite a state law banning the ideology, according to two recently published undercover videos.
Both edited videos were released this month by Accuracy in Academia, a conservative watchdog group that has over the last year targeted numerous universities across Republican-controlled states with the same sting: catching employees admitting to undercover investigators that they are flouting anti-DEI laws.
At Washburn, located in Topeka, a video published March 18 centers on lecturer Craig Carter with the School of Applied Studies, who told an AIM investigator that employees were told to discontinue DEI but “to my knowledge, we didn’t do any of that here.”
“A lot of times we use other words for diversity,” he was recorded saying on AIM’s hidden camera, according to the group.
“We talk about inclusion, you know, and stuff like that. For the most part, we haven’t been… I mean, I haven’t changed anything that I say or do in the classroom,” Carter said.
CNN host Kasie Hunt asked Democratic Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen Monday whether he believes Iranian officials over President Donald Trump.
Trump said talks had started between the United States and Iran. Iran, however, denied any such negotiations have taken place. During a discussion on “The Arena,” Hunt asked Van Hollen whether he trusts Iranian officials over the president.
“So you believe the Iranian officials over the president of the United States?” Hunt asked.
Pro-lifers are often accused of opposing abortion solely for religious reasons. If you follow Secular Pro-Life on Twitter long enough, you will see tweets from pro-choicers claiming SPL is really a Christian group. Some pro-abortion people say that atheists like me who oppose abortion are closet Christians who have no reason for our views except for our (alleged) faith.
Pro-abortion people have also used this argument to discredit religious pro-lifers. Even when a religious pro-lifer relies solely on secular arguments, they almost invariably hear that they only oppose abortion because their religion tells them to.
Sometimes, though, it is pro-choicers who have religious beliefs that drive them to support abortion. Some people having abortions use their religious beliefs to justify their choices. Many times, these religious beliefs, and the excuses and justifications derived from them, sound absurd.
“Reiki master” and spirit guide claim baby is happy to be aborted
In a 2006 article in The Daily Mail by Natasha Pearlman and Jenny Nisbet called “Abortion: The Legacy,” one woman tells her abortion story and gives a good example of this.
Get the latest pro-life news and information on X (Twitter). Follow @LifeNewsHQ
The article isn’t online, but you can read an excerpt here [https://clinicquotes.com/woman-says-her-baby-was-happy-to-be-aborted]. (Note: This link contains a graphic photo.)
The article quotes a British woman who was considering aborting her baby. She wanted advice, but says, “I felt there was no one else to turn to for impartial advice; all my family and friends were emotionally involved.”
So instead of turning to someone she knew, she contacted a woman who referred to herself as a “Reiki master and spiritual healer.”
This woman, like many new age practitioners, claimed to be in contact with a “spirit guide,” — a deceased disembodied spirit that helped her communicate with other spirits.
The women telling her abortion story asks the “Reiki master” to have her spirit guide connect with the spirit of her preborn baby. This is what the “Reiki master” says:
She said she had a very strong sense that the baby wasn’t 100 percent perfect and that he was happy to go to the other side but would be back again soon.
The woman said, “Immediately, I felt enormously relieved because I’d been feeling so guilty.”
Satisfied that her preborn baby was fine with being aborted and would return to her at another time, she booked her abortion appointment in a local hospital.
At the hospital, she says she “couldn’t bear” to look at the ultrasound. However, a nurse told her that her baby was a boy.
She was in her twelfth week of pregnancy, which means she was carrying a ten-week-old preborn child. (This is because length of pregnancy is counted as days from the last menstrual period, about two weeks before conception.)
As you can see from the ultrasound below, her child was already very developed.
The baby she aborted had had a beating heart for seven weeks. He had a brain that was giving off waves. A baby at 12 weeks responds to touch and shows a startle reaction.
This woman’s baby was already right or left-handed. Not only did he have hands and fingers, he even had fingerprints.
In a first-trimester abortion, the powerful suction would have torn the child apart violently, limb from limb.
Despite her belief that her child was okay with being aborted, the abortion was hard for this mother. She says, “[T]he only way I got through the termination was knowing that the spirit of my foetus had forgiven me and that he was going to come back.”
There have been other cases where pregnant people have allegedly communicated with their preborn babies and gotten permission from them to have abortions.
Telling your baby he is loved – before you kill him
Consider the article “Conscious Abortion: Engaging the Fetus in a Compassionate Dialogue” by Claudette Nantel, which appeared in the Journal of Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology and Health [https://www.birthpsychology.com/wp-content/uploads/journal/published_paper/volume-35/issue-2/t4XGTAVq.pdf].
Nantel openly admits the humanity of preborn babies. She defines “fetus,” as “an unborn baby in its mother’s womb, at any time from conception to birth.”
Nantel quotes practitioners who work with pregnant people to help them communicate with their babies before they abort them.
She quotes family doctor G. McGarey suggesting that someone having an abortion should have “a heart-to-heart conversation with her baby in the womb, explaining how this is not a good time for her to raise a child, reassuring them that they are deeply loved.”
Most people don’t kill the people they love, but McGarey tells pregnant people that as long as the baby knows you love them, aborting them is fine.
Another practitioner, M. Axness, says women having abortions should communicate with the baby:
through prayer, imagination, art, letter, dance, song—a level of communication with the newly arrived being in their wombs through which they explain to the baby that it isn’t the right time for him or her to come and that it is necessary to separate.
While belief in telepathy isn’t exactly a religious belief, it is another belief and claim that science can ’t prove. It is, for this reason, quasi-religious.
Asking babies to consent to their abortions
HH Watkins has women with unwanted pregnancies ask the baby to consent to their abortion. The child, according to Watkins and Nantel, will then telepathically communicate to the mother that they agree to be aborted.
She instructs pregnant people to connect with their preborn babies, get their permission for the abortion, and then abort without guilt, knowing that their babies consented to be killed.
This process, Watkins says, leads the aborting person to have “a deeper sense of self, more respect for life, and positive feelings about a better-timed future pregnancy through the process of dialogue with their baby.”
Unsurprisingly, in all but one case, every time Watkins did this exercise with a pregnant person, the pregnant person “heard” their baby give permission for the abortion. Clearly, these people hear what they want to hear.
What about the one exception? Well, the woman had the abortion, anyway.
After getting the “answer,” of no, the woman says to her baby, “You don’t mean that?”
The thought that a child might not agree to be dismembered or poisoned was shocking to her.
Watkins recalls what the pregnant woman did next:
[She] continued the process of weeping and talking to the fetus at home until there was only silence in response. She concluded the fetus accepted her intended surgical intervention…
The surgical intervention was accomplished without complication, healing was rapid, and the client felt little or no remorse. She knew at all levels she had made the appropriate decision for herself.
Lives sacrificed to convey a message
Nantel gives another example of a woman who allegedly got her babies’ permission for abortions. This woman had three abortions. With the first, she didn’t attempt to communicate with the baby because, she says “I was much more centered on myself and my life circumstances than on the baby.”
She claimed to have had an “intimate relationship” with the other two babies, who agreed to be aborted.
The woman explains:
I never felt I was doing them harm. Just before the abortion for each of them, I asked the lady who showed me the ultrasound screen to give me five minutes alone with the baby before the intervention.
I spoke to each of them in a fluid, soft manner, more like saying, ‘Thank you, see you later…’ The ultrasound screen conversations were way of recognizing the relationship, expressing my gratitude…
It was so clear for me that these two children had not come to me saying, ‘Let me be born.’
She came to believe that her babies intended to teach her a life lesson through the pregnancy and subsequent abortions.
These babies helped me, and I acted on what they helped me with. I honored them. And they had a tremendous healing effect on the guilt and angst which I carried a long time during and after my first abortion.
The babies, she says, were “beings who were my equals, partners in learning.”
The universe sacrificing others on one’s behalf
I ran into this kind of thinking in a writing group I attended a few years ago. A woman at the meeting believed that everything in the universe worked for her benefit.
In keeping with the religious concept (often known as “manifesting,”) if one wants something, they just need to ask the universe for it. If they really believe that the universe will deliver, it will. If it doesn’t, of course, the person doesn’t have enough faith.
This woman told the group that she had done this, and several months later, her husband died. This, she said, was an answer from the universe, because it set her free to pursue her writing career full-time.
I wasn’t sure what was more shocking- the incredible self-centeredness of someone who believes the universe kills people for her benefit, or that the others in attendance were nodding in agreement. I left the group as quickly as I could and never went back.
The writer’s view was in keeping with the belief that the entire universe revolved around her and her alone.
(She did say that after her husband’s death, she communicated with his spirit, and he told her he was at peace with dying to promote her career. I guess that lets her sleep at night.)
Woman “channels her highest self” and determines her baby chose to be aborted
The last story comes from Anna Runkle, a Planned Parenthood worker who counsels women in abortion clinics. Her book In Good Conscience: A Practical, Emotional, and Spiritual Guide to Deciding Whether to Have an Abortion was written to help pregnant people decide whether to have abortions.
In the book, she tells the stories of several women. Once was a 40-year-old woman named Claudia.
Claudia explained how her preborn baby, whom she named Rose, communicated with her from the womb and told her having an abortion was okay:
I got into the car and sat there and [the baby] spoke to me. She says, ‘I am looking forward to having you be my mother, but I want you to know this is your decision and whatever decision you make is perfectly fine with me. If you choose not to continue this pregnancy, I will be waiting.’1
Claudia says, “I sat in the car and cried for about an hour, feeling very grateful and very sad at the same time.”2
She had her abortion, and about a month later, had a session with her “ministers.” She explains that “[i]n my practice, we channel our higher selves.”
While “channeling her higher self” (whatever that means) she got the following “message” from her aborted baby:
[T]he message that I received during this counseling was very similar to the reassurance that my child Rose had given me in the car. Ever since then, I have felt a full heart relationship with this being…the relationship has given me great comfort and has been a source of joy for me…
I also believe that souls choose to be born or to live a certain amount of time in the womb and then depart, or they choose to be aborted…
Given my agreement with my child, who is eternal, I did nothing other than delay her return to the earth by agreement with her.3
Clauda’s religious belief, which she holds onto despite a complete lack of evidence for it, is that her baby chose to be aborted and will return to live in the future. She even claims she has a “relationship” with the baby she had killed.
The level of religious delusion and cognitive dissonance here, and in the other examples, is astounding.
I am an atheist. As such, I don’t believe religious claims without evidence. I admit I don’t know everything. I may be wrong about the nonexistence of the soul and life after death.
But I am extremely doubtful that all these babies consented to their abortions.
Religious beliefs sometimes inspire people to do good and noble things. Other times, they act as excuses to justify atrocities. We’ve seen that with the 9/11 terrorists and with various religious wars throughout history. I would consider this another example.

The Democrats’ partial government shutdown just crossed the one-month mark, and Americans trying to catch a flight are paying the price. Security lines stretch for three hours or more, and workers aren’t getting paid.
The shutdown started on February 14, when Democrats blocked a funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees the TSA, as a form of protest against immigration enforcement. And now, Elon Musk is stepping in to do what Democrats apparently can’t. While Democrats and Republicans duke it out, roughly 64,000 TSA employees are classified as essential workers — meaning they’re required to show up every single day, paycheck or not.
Sweden’s sweeping national digital ID system has been hacked, with the public’s sensitive data already being sold on the dark web.
A hacker group calling itself ByteToBreach has reportedly dumped sensitive source code tied to Sweden’s national digital identity system.
The incident is raising alarm over the risks of centralized control as governments worldwide push similar schemes.
The group claims it breached CGI’s Swedish division and accessed code connected to the nation’s digital identity system, called BankID.
BankID is the single authentication system used by millions of Swedes for banking, taxes, government services, and digital signatures.
So many schools seem unready for the surge of interest in TPUSA. In many cases, they’re making stupid mistakes in dealing with them.
The College Fix reports:
Manchester Comm. College violates state law, 1st Amendment by making TPUSA move table: claim
The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression has sent a letter challenging Manchester Community College’s decision to require a Turning Point USA table to change locations due to its “political nature.”
According to the March 18 letter from FIRE Campus Rights Advocacy Counsel Garrett Gravley to Manchester CC President Paul Beaudin, MCC TPUSA President Samuel Raiti set up a table last October at the school’s main entrance “in an area that did not obstruct pedestrian traffic.”
The school’s chapter of Turning Point USA is an officially recognized student organization.
In an interview with Chinese “Professor” Jiang Xueqin, the two discussed the ideal new world order.
Tucker Carlson: Xueqin: So what I would do is basically, basically sit down everyone, okay? Including Russia, China, Iran, and say, it’s time for a new world order where we are partners in this relationship. Right? Before America was a hegemon, before the US dollar was a world reserve currency. Uh, but now what we wanna do is open a dialogue where everyone is respected, where, um, America is, is no longer the bully, but a winning partner in creating a new economic order that benefits everyone and not just, and not just a few. Tucker: I, I think that’s the, the wisest possible advice and probably the only path that preserves civilization. Um, and, but they’re the one country standing in the way of that is Israel (Tucker Carlson on X).
Unsurprisingly, Tucker believes that the world would be a utopia without the Jews.

Trump was asked about the sanctions relief, which could possibly produce $14 billion in revenue for Iran, while boarding Air Force One in Florida on Monday.
“We don’t even know if Iran gets that money,” Trump said. “Frankly, I think it’s very hard for them to get it, but you have ships that are out there that load it up with oil.”
Rather than keep it there, I would rather see it go to the system,” the president said. “Any small amount of money that Iran gets is not going to have any difference in this war. But I want to have the system be lubricated.”
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced the easing of sanctions on Iranian oil Friday, as oil supplies have been limited due to Iran’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.
On Friday evening, President Donald Trump issued Iran’s mullahs a 48-hour deadline: Open the Strait of Hormuz or say goodbye to your power plants.
And then, this morning — just 12 hours before the deadline ended — the president abruptly pulled the plug:
But did you notice the timing?
Trump delivered the ultimatum on Friday evening, after the U.S. markets had closed for the week. And he canceled his ultimatum on Monday morning, just before the U.S. markets reopened.
And the new five-day deadline? Why, it conveniently begins after the U.S. markets close on Friday!
None of this was coincidental.
Meanwhile, Iran quickly claimed victory:

Trump, fearing Iran’s response, backed down from his 48-hour ultimatum:

President Donald Trump on Monday floated the idea of joint control over the Strait of Hormuz and appeared uncertain about Iran’s current leadership while taking questions from reporters.
Speaking on the tarmac at Palm Beach International Airport before departing Florida following a weekend at Mar-a-Lago, Trump was asked by CNN’s Kaitlan Collins who currently controls the critical waterway.
The president suggested a resolution could be near if ongoing negotiations with Tehran pan out.
Record-long security lines are snarling airports nationwide as the partial Department of Homeland Security shutdown drags into its sixth week, and President Trump says reinforcements are on the way.
With TSA short-staffed after a surge of callouts, the White House plans to deploy ICE agents to 14 airports to help keep lines moving and reduce bottlenecks, according to administration officials. The move comes as travelers report arriving hours early just to have a shot at making flights.
Virginia Democrats have pushed through a sweeping package of gun control legislation that represents a major rollback of Second Amendment protections for millions of law-abiding citizens.
In just 60 days, the Virginia General Assembly advanced more than a dozen anti-gun measures, including SB 749 and HB 217.
The two identical bills target commonly owned semi-automatic firearms.
The legislation now sits on the desk of Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA), who has already indicated she will sign the measures into law.
President Donald Trump said his two primary negotiators in dealing with Iran met with representatives from the Islamic Republic on Sunday night, hours before he postponed U.S. strikes on Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure.
Middle East special envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner spoke with their Iranian counterparts, Trump confirmed to Fox News host Maria Bartiromo, who relayed the information to her audience Monday morning.
Trump’s comments came shortly after Iranian state media reported that there were no “direct or indirect” talks with his administration.
The president said he did not know what the state-run media outlets were talking about and suggested they did not know the latest information, according to Bartiromo.
“It’s hard to get any information there because the U.S. is blowing up so much of their infrastructure,” he told the Fox News host.
“I would greatly appreciate, however, NO MASKS, when helping our Country out of the Democrat caused MESS at the airports, etc.”
President Trump said in a Sunday post that he supports Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers wearing masks during operations targeting “hardened criminals,” while also calling for agents to go without masks during their work at airports.
“I am a BIG proponent of ICE wearing masks as they search for, and are forced to deal with, hardened criminals, many of whom were let into our Country by Sleepy Joe Biden and his wonderful “Border Czar,” Kamala (she never even went to the Border!), through their absolutely INSANE Open Border Policy. I would greatly appreciate, however, NO MASKS, when helping our Country out of the Democrat caused MESS at the airports, etc. Thank you! President DJT” the post read.
Agents were deployed to airports on Monday to assist Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers as Democratic lawmakers continue to withhold full funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
More than willing to hold Americans’ ease of travel hostage, Sen. Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) and his Democratic allies in the U.S. Senate initiated a partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security last month, conditioning the passage of the FY2026 DHS appropriations bill on restrictions to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection operations.
This Democratic denial of funding that has survived over four votes on theme has manifested in long lines and headaches at airports across the country — especially at Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, which urged travelers on Monday morning to “arrive at least 4 hours early” on account of Transportation Security Administration staffing constraints and the correlated “longer than normal wait times at security checkpoints.”
‘We thought we would be safe enough.’
President Donald Trump is demanding that any deal with Democrats to fund the Department of Homeland Security includes an agreement on requiring photo identification and proof of citizenship in federal elections
The demand merges two battles that Congress has failed to resolve.
“I don’t think we should make any deal with the Crazy, Country Destroying, Radical Left Democrats unless, and until, they Vote with Republicans to pass ‘THE SAVE AMERICA ACT,’” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Sunday night.
“In other words, lump everything together as one, and VOTE!!! Kill the Filibuster, and stay in D.C. for Easter, if necessary.”
The SAVE America Act, if signed into law, would require photo identification and proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections.
Trump has called for the bill to include restrictions on transgender procedures for minors, transgender participation in women’s sports, and mail-in ballots.

Trust fund babies partied until dawn as the entire island of Cuba was plunged into darkness with yet another grid collapse.
Hunchbacks can’t see their own hunch. These evil clowns should not be allowed to return.
New York Post: Socialists from the US and Europe put on a concert in Cuba — just as the country was plunged into third blackout this month Saturday. A convoy of socialists — including streamer Hasan Piker, the daughter of Rep. Ilhan Omar, members of Code Pink and lefty Irish hip-hop group Kneecap — is in Cuba with the goal of supporting Cuba’s oppressive communist regime. But Piker and others have been dogged by criticism for staying in a 5-star hotel in Havana, and Kneecap played a concert in the capital city as the rest of the nation of 11 million people faced yet another major blackout. Kneecap previously was accused of supporting Hamas. At the group’s show, which appeared to be attended by only a handful of people, the rappers were filmed chanting “Free Cuba, f–k Trump, f–k Netanyahu. Code Pink founder Jodi Evans was pictured smiling in a pink keffiyeh as she posed for a picture with Piker in Cuba on Saturday. “This is like the Fyre Festival for humanities majors with trust funds,” one X user wrote, referencing 2017’s infamous fraudulent music festival.

Iran launched two missiles at the United Kingdom‘s base in Diego Garcia, missing but exposing greater missile capabilities than previously known.
After the U.K. announced it would allow the U.S. to use its bases for defensive strikes against Iran, Tehran launched two intermediate-range ballistic missiles at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, over 2,000 miles away, U.S. officials told the Wall Street Journal. Both missiles missed, with one failing and landing in the sea and a U.S. Navy warship firing an SM-3 interceptor at the other, though it’s not known if the interceptor made contact.
The missile launches, though unsuccessful, are hugely significant, likely changing many countries’ calculus regarding Tehran.
An illegal alien previously released twice before by sanctuary city Chicago is now in custody again and charged with murdering an 18-year-old woman on Thursday.
“Sheridan Gorman had her whole life ahead of her before this cold-blooded killer decided to end her life. She was failed by open border policies and sanctuary politicians who RELEASED this illegal alien TWICE before he went on to commit this heinous murder,” Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said in a statement released Sunday:
“According to local reports, 18-year-old Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman was shot and killed on Thursday morning around 1:00 am while she was walking in a park with friends. Medina-Medina is accused of approaching her while wearing a mask and armed with a gun.
“As she attempted to flee, he fired his gun and shot her. Gorman was shot and pronounced dead at the scene.”
James Talarico may have won the Democratic primary for Senate in Texas based on electability, but that’s only relative to his competition, U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett.
In the past few weeks, Talarico — a state representative, former teacher, and Presbyterian seminarian — has had his past statements prove just how marginal the relative electability advantage really was.
In the latest of a trove of opposition research that’s gone over well with the left but will get played from now until Election Day for normal Texans, Talarico said that not only did he think positively of the illegal immigrant students he taught, but they were actually more American than Americans.
“Before I was a politician, I was a public school teacher in San Antonio, Texas, on the west side of the city, and I taught a lot of undocumented students, and those students tended to be my most patriotic students,” Talarico said in an interview last week.
“They understood something about this country that a lot of us who are native-born forget: that this is supposed to be the land of opportunity,” he continued.
James Talarico claims his illegal immigrant students were more patriotic than American-born ones:

In a lengthy Truth Social post on Friday, President Donald Trump laid out the U.S. objectives for winding down the conflict with Iran and re-opening the vital Strait of Hormuz, a vital chokepoint responsible for handling 20 percent of global oil exports and large quantities of other valuable commodities.
“We are getting very close to meeting our objectives as we consider winding down our great Military efforts in the Middle East with respect to the Terrorist Regime of Iran,” the president wrote. He went on to list a number of objectives for the operation, many of which have already been achieved, according to the Pentagon.
House Democrats blocked legislation to establish a “Women’s History Museum” because of an amendment requiring the new institution to only honor real women, not gender-confused men.
“The Museum shall be dedicated to preserving, researching, and presenting the history, achievements, and lived experiences of biological women in the United States,” the bill states.
The legislation forbade the museum from depicting a “biological male as female.”
This drew the ire of members of the House Administration Committee, which considered the legislation yesterday, according to Representative Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY).

In a significant escalation of U.S. military presence in the Middle East, the Pentagon has ordered the deployment of an Amphibious Ready Group (ARG) and attached Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), totaling roughly 4,000 service members. The latest deployment will include approximately 2,500 Marines and units specializing in amphibious operations, according to a report from Newsmax.
The report, which citied multiple U.S. officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity, elements of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, based in Japan, along with the amphibious assault ship USS Tripoli, were initially redirected toward the region. This was done as part of a broader reinforcement, with the Boxer Amphibious Ready Group and 11th MEU from the West Coast accelerating their deployment ahead of schedule to join operations.
