The Pentagon rarely labels an American technology company a “supply chain risk.” The designation is typically reserved for firms tied to foreign adversaries or companies that could expose sensitive government systems to compromise.

But in late February, the Trump administration applied that label to one of the most prominent artificial intelligence developers in the United States.

On Monday, Anthropic, the company behind the Claude AI system, turned up the heat on the fight by filing a federal lawsuit against the Pentagon and several government agencies after the administration ordered agencies to stop using its technology across the federal system.

“Anthropic sued the Defense Department and other federal agencies on Monday over the Trump administration’s move to designate it a supply chain risk and eliminate its use across the government,” the report explains. “The company said the effort was ‘unprecedented and unlawful.’”

Just days after two Islamic terrorists allegedly threw a homemade IED into a group of anti-Islamic protesters, Mayor Zohran Mamdani is continuing to show us what “globalize the intifada” actually means. Mamdani, and his terrorist attack-loving wife just hosted Mahmoud Khalil for dinner.

“A year ago, Mahmoud was walking home through our city after sharing an iftar with his wife Noor when he was detained by federal agents, flown to Louisiana, and then held in an ICE facility for months. In that time, he was forced to miss the birth of his first child. All of this for exercising his First Amendment rights in protesting the ongoing genocide in Palestine,” Mamdani wrote. And yet, even in the face of that cruelty, there has also been beauty. New Yorkers raising their voices in solidarity. A city refusing to look away. Mahmoud won his freedom, and a father was finally reunited with his child. Last night, as we marked the one year anniversary of his detention, Rama and I were honored to welcome Mahmoud, Noor, and their son Deen to Gracie Mansion to break our fast together.Mahmoud is a New Yorker, and he belongs in New York City.”

Federal prosecutors say one of the suspects charged in the attempted bombing at a protest near New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s residence allegedly told investigators he wanted to carry out an attack “bigger than the Boston Marathon bombing.”

The claim appears in a criminal complaint filed Monday against Emir Balat and his co-defendant Ibrahim Kayumi.

The two suspected terrorists are accused of attempting to detonate explosive devices during a protest and counter-protest near Gracie Mansion.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has weighed in on an attempted terror bombing outside his home on Saturday but is downplaying the role of the suspected perpetrators and blaming anti-Islam protestors.

Two individuals shouting “Allahu Akbar” allegedly tossed two improvised explosive devices into a small crowd of protestors led by January 6 defendant Jake Lang, which was protesting what it called the” Islamic Takeover of New York City.”

That protest drew a larger crowd of more than 100 counter-protestors calling themselves “Run the Nazis out of New York City, Stand Against Hate.”

Emir Balat, 18, and Ibrahim Kayumi, 19, were quickly taken into police custody after an explosive device with bolts and nuts taped to the outside of it was lit by one of the men and thrown into the crowd of protestors.

The device failed to detonate and no injuries were reported.

In new book, gender studies professor says it’s time to abolish these labels

“Sexual identity” labels should be abolished because they “harm trans people” in their dating and sex lives, a UC Riverside professor argues in a new book.

Brandon Robinson, a professor of sociology, gender, and sexuality studies, wrote the book “Trans Pleasure: On Gender Liberation and Sexual Freedom” based on interviews with men who identify as women (“trans women and trans femmes — trans people who identify with a feminine gender expression”) and their Reddit conversations about dating and sex.

The book documents these individuals’ experiences in “the bedroom,” “restaurants,” “dating apps,” and other typical dating spaces, and the discrimination that they often face, according to Robinson.

“… dominant understandings of sexual identities—which center desires around gender and genitals—harm trans people. They also limit how everyone can love and feel pleasure,” according to the book description.

The federal complaint against Emir Balat, 18, and Ibrahim Kayumi, 19, was released on Monday afternoon, detailing charges against the two Pennsylvania men who are suspected of attempting to commit an ISIS-inspired bombing on Manhattan’s Upper East Side on Saturday.

Count one alleges that the two “knowingly attempted to provide ‘material support or resources’… including personnel, to wit, themselves, and services to a foreign terrorist organization, to wit, the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (‘ISIS‘).” ISIS is a designated foreign terrorist organization. Count two details charges for use of a weapon of mass destruction, saying that the two “knowingly used, threatened, and attempted to use, a weapon of mass destruction—namely, a destructive device… against persons and property withing the United States…”

Counts three, four, and five all stem from the first two and reference transportation of explosive materials, interstate transportation and receipt of explosives, and the unlawful possession of destructive devices.

It is one thing to ensure no human is illegal, but it is a whole other level when the left has decided foreign nationals can now enforce the law, while still being a citizen of another country. And this is exactly what the State of Washington has decided to impose on American citizens.

A state bill allowing some foreign nationals to serve as officers in the State of Washington is headed to the Governor’s desk, where he is expected to sign and approve it into law.

Kristen Welker’s softball Sunday interview on NBC with the Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi reminded everyone again of an anti-American double standard. The liberals inside newsrooms put enormous pressure on interviewers to question Trump fiercely, while representatives of mass-murdering Islamist regimes get open-ended softballs.

Yamaha, the Japanese company that manufactures both musical instruments and audio equipment as well as motorcycles and marine equipment, is leaving Gavin Newsom’s California after being headquartered in the state for 50 years. This is yet another major business to pull up stakes and flee the Golden State, where taxes are insane, crime is out of control, and the Democrats in Sacramento hate business.

Yamaha is moving to Georgia.

Here’s more:

After nearly 50 years in Orange County, Yamaha Motor Corp. USA is packing up its headquarters — trading Cypress, California for Kennesaw, Georgia in a sweeping corporate shift that will impact about 250 workers.

The motorcycle and motorsports giant says the move is part of major “structural reforms” meant to boost profits as costs climb — including pressure from tariffs imposed during the administration of President Donald Trump and shifting market conditions.

The relocation won’t happen overnight. Yamaha plans to start the exit in late 2026, with the transition stretching into 2028.

Company spokesman Bob Starr said consolidating operations in Georgia simply makes business sense.

“In terms of efficiency, to have us all together in Georgia — all the functions of the business — it makes a lot of sense,” Starr said.

The departure marks another corporate blow for Cypress.

President Donald Trump’s administration has launched a federal fraud investigation into New York’s Medicaid program, citing unusually high spending levels in the state.

The probe is being led by Dr. Mehmet Oz, administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

Oz announced the probe, revealing that the numbers behind New York’s Medicaid spending raise serious questions.

“Heart surgeons are trained to look at the numbers,” Oz said in a video posted on X.

“When something doesn’t add up, you don’t ignore it; you investigate.

“Right now, the numbers coming out of New York’s Medicaid program don’t add up.”

During Monday’s CNN This Morning, panelist Susan Page of USA Today suggested President Trump missed an opportunity to negotiate with Iran after President Masoud Pezeshkian made a video statement on Saturday as a pledge to Gulf countries that they would stop attacks against them.

Spoiler alert: the attacks against gulf countries had not stopped since Pezeshkian has little to no power over the IRGC, something CNN contributor Brett McGurk pointed out earlier in the panel segment.

McGurk, while he reminded the viewers that Pezeshkian was an “accidental president,” pointed out the IRGC’s rejection of the president:

So, Pezeshkian is known as being, you know, somewhat of a moderate guy. That word is overused, but he’s not really kind of totally aligned with the real hardliners. He came out with a statement on Saturday morning apologizing to gulf states, saying, we’re going to stop these attacks, offering an off ramp, even. And President Trump then put out a statement saying that, you – they’re basically surrendering when it comes to the Middle East states but we’re going to continue the attacks. In any case, as soon as Pezeshkian spoke, within an hour or so, the hardline in Iran, the revolutionary guards said that is not our policy. And attacks against the gulf continued.

(LifeSiteNews) — Mobs of feminists across Mexico attempted to attack and vandalize several prominent Catholic churches during marches to commemorate International Women’s Day on Sunday.

A video posted across social media shows masked leftists torching the doors of an unidentified church in Querétaro. Other videos in Guadalajara and Puebla, Mexico, show dozens of Catholics forming human chains or standing in front of churches to protect them from vandalism while being screamed at and, in some cases, being hit with eggs and other objects.

According to CNN’s Data Analyst Harry Enten, you should not be surprised that people who have served in the military largely approve of the U.S. strikes on Iran when compared to voters overall.

He cites a Fox News Poll:

Among Republicans, more than 8 in 10 approve of the current U.S. use of force, while only 6 in 10 say the president’s actions on Iran are making the U.S. safer.

Nearly 8 in 10 Democrats disapprove of the U.S. strikes and think things are less safe because of Trump’s performance, while 6 in 10 or more independents think the same on both counts.

Among voters who have served in the military, 59% approve of the U.S. strikes on Iran (39% disapprove). Compared to voters overall, who say the U.S. is less safe by a wide margin, veterans are more closely divided on the question of whether Trump’s actions have made the country safer (37%) or less safe (44%).

Hours after an Oliver Darcy underling screeched Sunday about CBS News’s social media platforms as having gone full MAGA for covering unsavory stories such as a Jewish Insider investigation into the radical social media history of New York City’s first lady, Monday’s CBS Mornings showed the liberal media are unsurprisingly not living in reality as the newscast welcomed far-left Texas senatorial candidate James Talarico (D) for an embarrassingly soft interview.

In just over six minutes, the co-hosts never offered an adversarial question to Talarico and strayed from the network’s own role in arguably endorsing Talarico’s primary campaign or any mention of the litany of radical statements over the course of his young life, such as these compiled in one convenient mash-up by our friends at Conservative War Machine:

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has decided that one of the most controversial figures tied to the anti-Israel protest movement belongs inside the official residence of the mayor of New York City.

Last night, Mamdani welcomed Columbia activist Mahmoud Khalil and his family to Gracie Mansion for an iftar dinner marking the one-year anniversary of Khalil’s detention by federal authorities. The mayor did not treat the moment as a quiet religious gathering or a private meeting between acquaintances. He turned the dinner into a political statement and broadcast it publicly.

The video shows DC officers coordinating with DOGE officials during the standoff at the institute’s Washington headquarters on March 17, 2025.

Newly released body camera footage from Washington, DC, police showed the tense confrontation that unfolded when officials with the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) attempted to take control of the US Institute of Peace (USIP) in 2025.

The Metropolitan Police Department released hours of body-worn camera video after a court ordered the department to make the footage public as part of a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. The lawsuit was filed by independent journalist Marisa Kabas, and a judge ruled that the department had to release the full, unredacted footage.

The Muslim NYC bomb throwers hoped attack would be deadlier than Boston Marathon bombing:

New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch was quite clear, connecting the dots that the mayor would not connect. From Tisch’s press statement on Monday, after Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi were charged: As Kayumi was being placed into an NYPD vehicle following his arrest, a person in the crowd asked why he had done this. As shown on NYPD body-worn camera footage referenced in the complaint, Kayumi responded with “ISIS.” And at the precinct, after being advised of his Miranda rights and waiving those rights, Kayumi said in recorded post-arrest statements that he had watched ISIS propaganda on his phone and that his actions that day were partly inspired by ISIS. The complaint also detailed statements made by Emir Balat after his arrest.

Two suspects accused of throwing an improvised explosive device near New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s residence were “trained” by the Islamic terrorist group ISIS, law enforcement has confirmed.

They have been charged after authorities said the device contained a highly volatile terrorist explosive known as the “Mother of Satan.”

Ibraham Kayumi, 19, and Emir Balat, 18, were arrested Saturday following a violent protest outside Gracie Mansion.

Authorities say the pair allegedly hurled a homemade explosive device during clashes between demonstrators and counterprotesters.

On Monday, a USA Today reporter asked Donald Trump about the fact that he recently said Cuba wants to make a deal. She said, “What would the United States get in return for that, and why should Americans trust Marco Rubio to negotiate it?”

(Why should we trust Marco Rubio? Girl, please. Where have you been the last year… Oops, sorry, my inner monologue escaped and got the best of me. Back to the president.)

Trump laid it out like this:

Well, Marco Rubio is doing a great job. I think he’s going to go down as the greatest secretary of State in history. Look at what we’ve done as a presidency. Look at what we’ve done as an administration. They trust Marco, and so do the American people… He’s been successful no matter where he’s been. He also speaks the language, which is always nice and always helpful.

Khuzestan is Iran’s most oil-rich and ethnically diverse province — and the Arabs there have finally had it up to here with the theocrats who run things in Tehran. Whoever they are today, that is.

In a daring new statement, the Khuzestan Arab Tribes Assembly this week calling for “a free, democratic, and federal Iran,” and that they “firmly believe that the Islamic Republic’s system has violated the rights of the people of Iran.”

While Khuzestan borders Iraq and is roughly one-third Arab, the assembly called the province the “beating heart of Iran” and emphasized “the protection of Iran’s territorial integrity and reject any separatist or divisive project that harms the homeland of Iran.”

“We see ourselves in the transitional phase from the current repressive regime toward a free, democratic, and federal Iran. We can play a constructive role alongside other compatriots in building a prosperous and united Iran.”

The media coverage of the IED attack by two Islamists on a Christian anti-Muslim rally not only accused the Christians of being white supremacists, they also accused the Christians of throwing the IEDs themselves. Mayor Mamdani of New York focused his ire for the “white supremacists,” but only condemned the IEDs being tossed. He failed to mention the Islamists behind the attack.

The attack was caught on video, so the internet already knew the Islamists were behind the attack, The two suspects are Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi, both of whom come from wealthy immigrant parents. They screamed “Allahu Akbar” when they threw the IEDs, which were all verified to be real. Had any one of them gone off (there were three total, two near the Mayor’s mansion), it is highly likely there would have been multiple casualties.

The Liberal Media Reaction to the NYC IED Attack Was Laughably Predictable – townhall.com

It’s on video. It’s astounding they even tried to pitch this as what actually happened outside of Gracie Mansion in New York City, because it was a pure media hoax. Some Muslim extremists hurled an IED at counter protesters over the weekend, even shouting “Allahu Akbar” before getting arrested by police. The media left out details to make it seem like this wasn’t what could arguably be an act of radical Islamic terrorism:

When two suspected terrorists threw a homemade bomb at a protest of Christians, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani first condemned the apparent victims instead of the attackers.

Mamdani posted on social media:

“Yesterday, white supremacist Jake Lang organized a protest outside Gracie Mansion rooted in bigotry and racism. Such hate has no place in New York City. It is an affront to our city’s values and the unity that defines who we are.

“What followed was even more disturbing. Violence at a protest is never acceptable. The attempt to use an explosive device and hurt others is not only criminal, it is reprehensible and the antithesis of who we are.”

Funny enough, Mamdani didn’t name or describe the people who tried to detonate the bomb. He didn’t mention that they allegedly screamed “Allahu Akbar” before throwing the improvised explosive device.

The United Kingdom has fallen to Sharia. The evidence becomes more and more clear as the tiny island nation has surpassed China in arrests of people for saying bad things online. The top protected class in the UK is the Muslim, then the Islamist immigrant, then the Rainbow Coalition, with Trans and non-binary as the stars of the group.

Now, the UK wants to make dogs illegal for the sake of its growing Muslim nation within, a nation that despises dogs. To prepare the British for the loss of their dogs, Starmer’s cabinet is working on legislation that would ban 67 dog breeds in the name of safety and health.

UK Mulls Banning 67 Dog Breeds for ‘Animal Health’ — but Is That Really the Reason?

After all these years, it turns out that your beloved pooch may be “unhealthy,” so much so that his breed has to be banned. This dire news comes from the far-left government of the United Kingdom, where beagles, dachshunds, mastiffs, great danes, boxers, and saint bernards may soon be a thing of the past. All in all, the government is considering banning no fewer than sixty-seven dog breeds, with the stated reason being animal health. This is so implausible, however, that it cries out for another explanation, and there is an obvious one that doesn’t bode well for Britain’s future as a free society.

The UK’s Daily Mail reported Thursday that this initiative comes from the top: “Sixty-seven dog breeds could be banned in Britain if new breeding guidelines set by parliament become mandatory, campaigners have warned.” This is because “the all-party parliamentary group (APPG) for animal welfare has launched a new tool to determine if a dog is healthy.”

The moderate Democrat Party of Virginia has just passed legislation that makes it illegal for public schools to suggest in any way, shape, or form, that the January 6, 2021, protests were anything but an insurrection.

Virginia Democrats Pass Bill Requiring Schools to Teach Jan 6 Was ‘Violent Insurrection’ – slaynews.com

Virginia lawmakers have approved Democrat legislation that requires all public schools to describe the January 6, 2021, Capitol protests as a “violent attack” and “insurrection,” while prohibiting teachers from characterizing the event as a peaceful demonstration.

The measure, HB 333, was introduced by Del. Dan I. Helmer (D-Fairfax) and passed after Democrats expanded their majority in the Virginia House of Delegates following the election of Gov. Abigail Spanberger last November.

Republican Indiana Governor Mike Braun has officially signed into law a bill that will protect people of Faith from being excluded from adoption and foster care. The bill is primarily aimed at democrat-controlled local governments that are attempting to freeze Christians out of the adoption/foster care process because of their opposition to indulging children’s sexuality or gender fantasies.

 President Donald Trump announced the formation of a 17-nation pact committed to defeating the drug cartels in the Americas. The pact was announced at an event at Trump National Doral called “the Shield of the Americas summit.” These are the members of the coalition: Argentina, El Salvador, Colombia, Brazil, Peru, Chile, Panama, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Ecuador, Paraguay, Uruguay, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Bahamas, and Belize. Notably missing from this list is Mexico, which is close to civil war thanks the activity of the cartels in that country.

Mahady Sacko, a 50-year-old illegal alien from the West African nation of Mauritania, has been charged with fraudulent voting in the 2024 federal election after allegedly casting ballots while not being a U.S. citizen. Federal authorities allege that Sacko falsely claimed citizenship to register and vote on multiple occasions, including in prior presidential elections.

According to prosectors with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, Sacko entered the United States in March 1998 through Miami, Florida. Immigration records indicate he was placed in deportation proceedings in 1999.

On June 14, 2000, a Philadelphia immigration judge ordered his removal to Mauritania. Sacko appealed the decision, but the Board of Immigration Appeals affirmed it on November 14, 2002. Despite the order, he remained in the country.

In January 2007, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested him in Philadelphia. However, deportation was not possible at that time due to the lack of a valid Mauritanian passport, and Mauritania’s refusal to issue a new one. As a result, ICE released Sacko under supervision and required him to report periodically.

A chilling new signal believed to be tied to Iran has begun appearing across the radio spectrum in Europe, with shortwave listeners in the United Kingdom reporting mysterious encrypted broadcasts shortly after the death of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Amateur radio enthusiasts say the transmissions resemble a classic “numbers station,” a type of coded broadcast historically associated with espionage and covert intelligence operations.

The signal has been designated “V32” by the monitoring group ENIGMA2000, which tracks suspected intelligence transmissions around the world.

Shortwave listeners say the station broadcasts strings of encrypted numbers late at night and early in the evening.

The transmissions have reportedly been heard clearly across the United Kingdom and parts of Europe, with signals bouncing off the ionosphere and appearing on the frequency 7910 kHz (7.910 MHz) in Upper Sideband mode.

Monitors have described the broadcast as a male voice, possibly synthetic, speaking in Farsi while reading out sequences of numbers.
