FBI Director Kash Patel said over the weekend that federal investigators have gathered evidence supporting President Donald Trump’s long-standing position on the 2020 election, signaling that potential arrests may be forthcoming.

Speaking during an interview with Maria Bartiromo, Patel said the bureau has uncovered significant material tied to what he described as efforts to undermine the election process.

Patel Says FBI Has ‘All the Evidence’

“Absolutely, Maria,” Patel said when asked whether the FBI had found evidence related to Trump’s claims.

“I’ve been with the president nearly since day one on this.”

U.S. importers, ranging from Target to Walmart, are due more than $160 billion in tariff refunds following a February Supreme Court decision as the Trump administration launches its claims filing portal Monday.

Hopes are high for a smooth launch of the system that will facilitate the refunds, but companies and Wall Street analysts are tempering their expectations that companies will get the money back quickly.

Trade lawyers are warning of bureaucratic hurdles, legal vulnerabilities, as well as the possibility of a last-minute appeal by the Trump administration.

“[Importers] are pessimistic that the government is going to make this easy. They’re anticipating that the government is going to make it as difficult as possible to get their money back,” said trade attorney Matthew Seligman, principal at Grayhawk Law.

“There’s frustration because the Supreme Court already ruled that these tariffs are unlawful,” he added.

Dems’ Plan To Jail ICE Makes Roman Republic’s End Look Quaint– thefederalist.com

The left has tried to put Donald Trump in prison for the last decade. So far, they have not succeeded, but it’s not for a lack of trying. They’ve used every dirty trick in the book to try to eliminate their most hated political opponent. It seems like every day we find out new disturbing details about the left’s various plots to discredit and jail the president of the United States.

In Trump 2.0, they’ve become even more desperate, and they no longer limit themselves to hounding the president and his closest associates. Now, anyone who supports the president or carries out orders he issues as the lawful chief executive could find himself a target for left-wing vengeance and reprisal.

And that’s exactly what billionaire Tom Steyer, the current lead Democrat candidate for the governorship of California, the nation’s largest state, plans to do to ICE agents who dutifully carry out our nation’s immigration laws if he wins. Steyer presents his plan in no uncertain moral terms: ICE is evil because it carries out its duty, and its agents must be given no legal quarter in California.

Democrats Dig in Against ICE As GOP Forces Funding Showdown – RedState– redstate.com

In the early hours of Thursday morning, Senate Republicans did what Democrats have spent months refusing to do: fund the men and women enforcing America’s immigration laws.

The chamber adopted a budget blueprint 50-48 after an all-night marathon of amendment votes known as a “vote-a-rama” that stretched past 3:30 a.m. It was a hard-fought win that moves the country one step closer to ending a self-inflicted Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shutdown that Democrats have done nothing to resolve.

The vehicle is budget reconciliation, a parliamentary process that lets legislation clear the Senate with a simple majority rather than the 60 votes Democrats have used to block immigration enforcement funding at every turn. The goal is to unlock roughly $70 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) up front, with the full framework potentially reaching $140 billion through the end of President Trump’s term.

Republicans aren’t apologizing for the urgency. They’ve seen what happens when Democrats get power, and they have no intention of leaving the border undefended the next time it happens.

A Chinese national was arrested April 7 after he allegedly illegally photographed U.S. Air Force planes at a military base in Nebraska, authorities said.

Tianrui Liang, 21, was charged with illegally photographing Air Force planes at Offutt Air Force Base in Bellevue, Nebraska, which is a key base in the Air Force’s Strategic Command, according to a Justice Department (DOJ) press release. Liang crossed the U.S.-Canada border on March 28, 2026, from Vancouver to Washington on a valid B1/B2 visa, the DOJ said.

He was also allegedly at Ellsworth Air Force Base in South Dakota ahead of visiting Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska. In addition, Liang was interested in visiting Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), The Associated Press (AP) reported.

Following the federal fraud indictment of the purportedly anti-racist Southern Poverty Law Center, the usual voices on the braindead political left have depicted the controversy as a mean right-wing attack on left-wing virtue.

 

The SPLC has due process rights, and the fraud charges have to be proved in court. But before you fall for the sob story about Mean Orange Man attacking the allegedly scrappy anti-racism warriors, take a look at the SPLC’s Form 990. That’s the financial disclosure form that non-profit corporations have to file with the IRS every year. Here’s the latest, which is archived on the ProPublica website. Filed in 2025, it covers the period ending in October of 2024. With about $129 million a year in both revenue and expenses, the SPLC reported total assets of, read this number carefully, $786,768,246.

They’re closing in on an $800 million nest egg. On pg. 11 of the Form 990, you’ll find that they have close to $750 million of that money invested in securities. They own corporate stocks and they’re mad about racism, in that order.

There’s a reason the watchdog organization CharityWatch gives the SPLC an F as a charity: They keep doing aggressive fundraising while they have far more money than they need to pay for their actual work.

Iran Releases Video of IRGC Terrorists Seizing Ship in Strait of Hormuz– www.breitbart.com

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), a designated terrorist organization, on Thursday released a video that purportedly showed its forces seizing a civilian ship in the Strait of Hormuz.

The IRGC attacked three container ships in the strait on Wednesday morning using small boats. Iranian state media said two of the ships were boarded and taken hostage by IRGC forces. The crew of the ships said they were attacked without warning, and at least one ship believed it had been granted safe passage through the strait by Iran.

The IRGC video, clearly edited for dramatic effect, shows speedboats full of masked operatives approaching the MSC Francesca, a container ship flagged to Panama. The Iranian terrorists use a ladder to climb aboard the ship.

The Francesca reportedly suffered damage from “gunfire and rocket-propelled grenades” before it was forced to drop anchor. Iranian state media claimed the ship was attacked because it “belonged to the Zionist regime” in Israel.

The White House on Thursday accused China of stealing U.S. artificial intelligence labs’ intellectual property on an industrial scale in a memo that threatens to strain relations ahead of a summit between U.S. and Chinese leaders next month.

“The US government has information indicating that foreign entities, principally based in China, are engaged in deliberate, industrial-scale campaigns to distil US frontier AI systems,” Michael Kratsios, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, wrote in a memo shared on social media on Thursday and first reported by the Financial Times.

“Leveraging tens of thousands of proxy accounts to evade detection and using jailbreaking techniques to expose proprietary information, these coordinated campaigns systematically extract capabilities from American AI models, exploiting American expertise and innovation,” he added.

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), currently the subject of a massive federal indictment, pressured the Biden administration to release a sex offender convicted of sexually assaulting a child.

According to The Daily Wire, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) records obtained via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request contained a 2021 email from an SPLC attorney, asking that Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) “release” a detained Phillipine woman who identifies as a man “as soon as possible.”

The Oversight Project reported in August 2025 that the inmate, who held a green card, had served 8 years after having been convicted of sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl.

House Republican leaders want a floor vote next week on the Senate’s budget resolution, the first step in writing an immigration enforcement bill and passing it by President Donald Trump’s June 1 deadline.

“It has to be clean because it has to be quick,” Speaker Mike Johnson said Thursday, indicating that conservatives could not make major changes to the other chamber’s blueprint at this time.

But Johnson and others still have to lock in support from conservatives who are threatening to vote against it if it doesn’t encompass more top GOP policy priorities, and it is proving to be a delicate balancing act.

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (La.) met Thursday morning with Budget Chair Jodey Arrington (Texas) and leaders of key House GOP factions, according to four people granted anonymity to share details of private meetings — an effort to quell concerns among some conservatives about the narrow scope of the current plan. Arrington and other senior Republicans have been pushing to expand the party-line bill currently under discussion.

WASHINGTON — Amid growing national security concerns, the FBI said Tuesday that it has launched a broad investigation in the deaths or disappearances of at least 10 scientists and staff connected to highly sensitive research, including four from the Los Angeles area.

“The FBI is spearheading the effort to look for connections into the missing and deceased scientists. We are working with the Department of Energy, Department of War, and with our state and local law enforcement partners to find answers,” the agency said in a statement.

The FBI’s announcement comes after the House Oversight Committee announced that it would investigate reports of the disappearance and deaths of the scientists, sending letters seeking information from the agencies involved in the federal inquiry as well as NASA, which owns the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in La Cañada Flintridge, where three of the missing or dead scientists worked.

Tim Cook to Step Down After 15 Years as Apple CEO– www.cnet.com

EXCERPT:

Fifteen years ago, Apple’s last leadership transition was more somber. For years, off and on, Tim Cook had been stepping in to take on more of Apple’s day-to-day operations as the ailing then-CEO Steve Jobs went on successive medical leaves before finally stepping down on Aug. 24, 2011. Two months later, Jobs died, and Cook began a new, uncertain era in Apple’s history.

Jobs had been the public face of Apple when he stepped down — the co-founder who was pushed out in the ’80s and triumphantly returned in the ’90s, renewing the company’s reputation with the iMac in 1998 and redefining the mobile industry with the iPhone in 2007.

Jobs’ brash behavior was notorious, but so was his success in shaping Apple into a pugnacious underdog competitor to conventional consumer tech in style and user-friendly software. He earned headlines with his combative quotes to the press as well as his slick presentations and Stevenotes at WWDC and Macworld Expo. His “reality distortion field” led him to push for abrupt and severe changes that would seem impossible if they came from another executive.

Elon Musk failed to appear at a summons to meet on Monday with Paris prosecutors, where investigators are looking into allegations of misconduct related to the social media platform X, including the spread of child sexual abuse material and deepfake content.

Musk and Linda Yaccarino — the former CEO of X — were summoned for “voluntary interviews,” while other employees of X were scheduled to be heard as witnesses throughout this week, according to the Paris prosecutor’s office.

Musk was summoned after a search took place in February at the French premises of X as part of an investigation opened in January 2025 by the cybercrime unit of the Paris prosecutor’s office. Musk and Yaccarino had been invited in their capacities as managers of X at the time of the events investigated. Yaccarino was CEO from May 2023 until July 2025.

What if time were reversed? Physicists show how time could flow backward on a quantum scale

Researchers have developed a way to flip time to move backward in a quantum system. This level of control could lead to bizarre real-world applications

By Stephanie Pappas edited by Jeanna Bryner

Theoretical physicists have figured out how to reverse the arrow of time in a quantum system.

The arrow of time marches forward. Eggs don’t uncrack; milk doesn’t unspill. But now new research has found a way that this arrow could be reversed in a quantum system, flip-flopping events as if time were flowing backward.

The findings are currently theoretical but could be tested experimentally, says Luis Pedro García-Pintos, a physicist at Los Alamos National Laboratory and first author of the new study, published February 19 in the journal Physical Review X.

The radical leftists on the Supreme Court are leaking to the treacherous New York Times to undermine and damage the conservative justices. For the cancerous left, nothing is sacred.

Which justice is the traitor? The FBI should conduct the investigation and that justice should be thrown off the bench. Justice Roberts took no action after the Dobbs leak which put the lives of conservative justices in immediate danger. So further leaks were inevitable almost encouraged.

Americans are demanding answers after the The New York Times obtained and published “secret” internal memos from the U.S. Supreme Court — marking the third major leak from the high court in the last four years.

Kerri Urbahn: “Which is really unheard of from the U.S. Supreme Court.”

“I think these leaks TEND to go in one direction and it is to undercut what the conservative wing of the Supreme Court is doing or in the process of doing.”

South Korean police are seeking to arrest music mogul Bang Si-Hyuk, chairman of the agency behind K-pop supergroup BTS, as they expand an investment fraud investigation

SEOUL, South Korea — South Korean police said Tuesday they are seeking to arrest music mogul Bang Si-Hyuk, chairman of the agency behind K-pop supergroup BTS, as they expand an investigation into allegations that he illegally gained more than $100 million in an investor fraud scheme.

The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency confirmed that it has asked prosecutors to request a court warrant for Bang’s arrest. Representatives of Bang’s agency, HYBE, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Bang has been under investigation since November over allegations that he misled investors in 2019 by telling them HYBE had no plans to go public, inducing them to sell their shares to a private equity fund before the company proceeded with an initial public offering. Police believe that the fund may have paid Bang around 200 billion won ($136 million) in a side deal that promised him 30% of post-IPO stock sale profits.

The US Embassy said the killed US officials were “supporting Chihuahua state authorities’ efforts to combat cartel operations.”

Two Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) officers were killed in Mexico over the weekend while returning from an operation targeting Cartel-affiliated drug labs in the northern state of Chihuahua. They died in a vehicle crash along with two Mexican investigators, who were also involved in the operation, authorities said.

The circumstances surround the crash are under investigation, according to CNN. This comes as President Trump has repeatedly stated his intention to dismantle the Cartels, pressuring Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum to crack down on their drug labs. The US Embassy said that the killed US officials were “supporting Chihuahua state authorities’ efforts to combat cartel operations.”

President Sheinbaum claimed during a Tuesday press conference that her administration was “not aware of any direct work or coordination” between the state of Chihuahua and the US Embassy in Mexico. She added that Mexico does not permit joint operations with foreign governments and that work is limited to intelligence sharing.
