8. DAVOS MARKS OFFICIAL DEATH OF POST-WAR ORDER – President Donald Trump came to Davos and delivered the news that the global order was dead. While much hand wringing conspired amongst Europe’s elites, and America’s Democrats (including Gavin Newsome), at the end of the day all had to acknowledge the reality of power. If America says the global order is dead, it’s dead.

Trump let the Western Hemisphere know, “The USA is the economic engine of the planet, and when America booms, the entire world booms. History shows that when America goes bad, the whole world goes bad. When we go down, you follow us down. Instead of hiring bureaucrats we’re firing them”

2. XI PURGES TOP GENERALS, NARROWLY ESCAPES ASSASSINATION? – There appeared to be a power struggle going on in China, with many conflicting reports, some confirmed, some not, all of which suggest Chairman Xi had narrowly escaped a coup. This news came as Canada’s Prime Minister, Mark Carney, had just arrived in Beijing.

We now know there is an ongoing purge of most of the top Generals, including his two top Generals. We can also affirm there were numerous military lockdowns in Beijing.

3. 3. THE NEW LEADERSHIP OF IRAN IS ALREADY DEAD – As the new ceasefire just announced takes effect, we remember the purge of leadership that happened at the beginning of the Iran War:

Iran was forced to select a new group of future military targets, their new leadership. They had to select a new leadership team not because the Khomeini leadership was killed, but because their replacements were. The leadership meeting to select the replacements of the Khomeini leadership happened in Tehran, where the entire leadership gathered was killed, according to U.S. and Israeli officials.

4. VENEZUELAN LEADER PLUCKED FROM CHINA’S PROTECTION – Despite the security provided to President Nicolas Maduro of Venezuela by his two strongest allies, Russia and China, U.S. forces were able to quickly enter the country and within less than 3 hours return with Maduro and his wife to the U.S.

Reports of advanced military tech being used to easily overcome Venezuelan forces equipped in mid-range Chinese and Russian military tech have been confirmed by the Trump administration.

The move sends a powerful message to China and Russia’s allies that their protection might be no protection at all. Currently, Maduro is facing “evolving charges.” His VP has taken over and, as of now, is cooperating with the U.S.

5. CUBA TOTTERS ON DISSOLUTION, BUT LEADER REMAINS DEFIANT AS RUSSIA, MEXICO RUSHES TO ITS RESCUE – Russia is sending oil tankers to Cuba to rescue it from its crippling energy crisis that has left the island in a blackout condition. As dissent grows from within, the Trump administration hints it could take Cuba whenever it wants to.

Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel responded that any act of aggression “will clash with an impregnable resistance.” Mexico has just announced plans to attempt to “come to Cuba’s aid,” sending a relief supply flotilla and promising to figure out how to get oil to the communist country.

6. JAPAN GOES CONSERVATIVE AFTER LANDSLIDE ELECTION BURIES THE LEFT – A new Japan is about to emerge that is sure to frighten China after a landslide victory by Japan’s conservative party leaves leftists with only 5 seats in the parliament. The victory is credited to Japan’s Prime Minister, Sanae Takaichi, who appeared to take a risk by calling for a snap election soon after her party appointed her Prime Minister.

The gamble has paid off, leaving conservatives with a super majority that will most likely alter Japan’s passivist constitution. One of the major changes expected is ending Japan’s self-imposed limitations on military spending and operations. President Trump congratulated the PM, sharing on Truth Social, “Congratulations to Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi and her Coalition on a LANDSLIDE Victory in today’s very important Vote. She is a highly respected and very popular Leader. Sanae’s bold and wise decision to call for an Election paid off big time.”

U.S. POLITICS

1. 2020 ELECTION RESULTS STILL IN DOUBT AS FBI SEIZES FULTON COUNTY, GA BALLOTS – The FBI has announced a raid on the Fulton County, Georgia elections office that resulted in 700 boxes of election ballots from the disputed 2020 election being seized. National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard was seen on site, with the speculation being she was overseeing the investigation. The agents were there for hours, triggering a meltdown from Georgia election officials (who, for some reason, really don’t want Americans to see these ballot records).
2. FBI SEIZES 2020, 2024 ELECTION RECORDS FROM NOTORIOUS MARICOPA COUNTY, AZ – Maricopa County, AZ is seen as the epicenter of 2020 election fraud suspicion, surpassing its closest rival, Fulton County, GA, in evidence that is difficult for skeptics to simply dismiss. Now that county is under an FBI microscope, with the announcement of election records being seized from Maricopa County from the bureau.

Republican State Senate President Warren Petersen confirmed the action by the FBI, posting on X, “Late last week I received and complied with a federal grand jury subpoena for records relating to the Arizona State Senate’s 2020 audit of Maricopa County. The FBI has the records. Any other report is fake news.”

3. AFTER VOTING FOR POLITICAL VIOLENCE, VIRGINIANS ARE ABOUT TO GET IT, AND TAX INCREASES ARE ONLY THE BEGINNING – After Virginians chose to overwhelming elect a Governor who endorsed political violence through silence and a Lieutenant Governor who openly expressed it by wishing he could murder his political opponent’s family, the DNC is about to reward them with a slate of bills and executive orders that will tax them, free criminals, including rapists and child molesters, secure fraudulent elections, silence free speech, allow abortion up to birth, and kill the 2^nd amendment. Read more about this in our Situation Report on pg. xx.

4. JUDGES SET FIRE TO TRUMP AGENDA IN A SERIES OF BRUTAL RULINGS – Mostly Biden-appointed Judges have shut down numerous major Trump policies, including freezing federal funding, shutting down Voice of America, halting DEI investigations of progressive schools, stopping ICE detention facilities from opening, and more.

In the wake of a slate of questionable rulings, SCOTUS Chief Judge John Roberts has encouraged what we consider insurrectionist rulings (with some exceptions) by Democrat activist judges while shaming any critique of these same rulings. Read more about Judgefare in our Bellwether Deepdive on pg. 2.

5. ANTI-ICE ACTIVISTS USE SIGNAL CONNECTED TO MINNESOTA OFFICIALS TO COORDINATE ASSAULT ON ICE AGENTS – Signal Chats have been exposed from paid anti-ICE activists that have been coordinating with Minnesota state officials. The anti-ICE activists have been intentionally interfering with the legal prosecution of criminal arrests that have been ruled constitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States of America.

Now, Minnesota’s Attorney General has been directly connected to the chat. His office created a secret portal for the activists to use to coordinate their attacks and get information that was used to attack American independent reporters like Cam Higby. It should be noted the activity began shortly after the Somali Fraud scam was exposed by another independent journalist stalked with the help of Ellison’s secret web portal, Nick Shirley.

6. ANTIFA TERRORISTS FIRST TO BE CONVICTED OF TERRORISM – Nine Antifa members will go down in U.S. history as the first Antifa members convicted of terrorism. Finding DAs willing to charge them of terrorism has been difficult, but these terrorists chose Texas as their target for attack. U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Lancy Larson was more than willing to charge them with terrorism. They were found guilty of terrorism by a federal jury in Fort Worth, Texas.

The nine antifa members were convicted of organizing an ambush-style attack on an ICE facility in Alvarado, Texas. The nine convicted terrorists are Cameron Arnold, Zachary Evetts, Benjamin Song, Savanna Batten, Bradford Morris, Maricela Rueda, Elizabeth Soto, Ines Soto, and Daniel Rolando Sanchez-Estrada.

CULTURE

1. MEDIA, MAMDANI PROTECT ISLAMIST IED ATTACKERS WHILE VILIFYING WHITES, CHRISTIANS – 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 (which they appear to actually be, in this case), they also accused the Christians of throwing the IEDs themselves. Mayor Mamdani of New York focused his ire on the “white supremacists,” while only condemning 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. We covered this story in more detail in the Final Thought of our Friday, March 13 MIA Issue.

2. 3^RD TRANSGENDERED MASS SHOOTER IN LESS THAN ONE YEAR KILLS SELF, WIFE, SON, AND ONE OTHER – A man presenting himself as a woman opened fire at a Rhode Island hockey game, killing his wife, his son, and then himself. Another person later died of their injuries. The killer was Robert Dorgan, who has a long social media history of making violent threats, including to Kevin Sorbo and Alec Jones.

He threatened people online saying, “Keep bashing us, but do not wonder why we Go BERSERK.” It could have been worse had a male bystander not intervened, causing the shooter to pull out another gun to shoot himself with.

3. THE LEFT’S HOLD ON BOY SCOUTS IS BROKEN – Scouting America has now committed to end its DEI programs, recognize the biological binary sex reality of humans, and separate the boys from the girls. The move came after Secretary of War Pete Hegseth informed the organization that failure to uncouple anti-American leftism from their standards would result in the Department of War ending its relationship with them.
4. ESG LOSES IN COURT AS VANGUARD SETTLES AND AGREES TO DROP THE IDEOLOGY – Texas has successfully sued the investment company Vanguard, who has chosen to settle the lawsuit. They have agreed to pay $29.5 million in punitive fees and have agreed to remove restrictions on investments based on a company’s ESG score. Next on the docket is Blackrock, which Texas is also suing for the same reason. Should Blackrock fold, the two main progenitors of ESG would be out of the ESG business.
5. EU COURT COMPELS ALL MEMBER STATES TO “RECOGNIZE” TRANSGENDER IDENTITIES – The highest court in the EU, the Court of Justice of the European Union, has ruled that all 27 members states of the union must allow all citizens to have photo IDs that match their “lived gender.” The ruling is sure to bring the differences between progressive globalism and traditional Europeanism to a head.

MARKET

1. CONSEQUENCE OF SCOTUS RULING ALREADY HITTING COURTS AS TRUMP ADMIN PLEDGES IT WILL PAY INTEREST ON TARIFF REFUNDS – Should the Trump administration lose in the courts and be forced to refund “American” businesses, they are committed to pay interest on the refunds, they informed the courts.

Judges have already signaled a willingness to fast-track the process, as we predicted would happen in our Bellwether DeepDive from our March 6, 2026 MIA issue.  In addition to the refunds for U.S. companies, foreign companies are also lining up for their cut of the SCOTUS plunder. Revenues collected through these struck-down tariffs are estimated to be around $170 billion.

GO DEEPER ON TRUMP TARIFFS

2. TRUMP XO STOPS CORPORATE PURCHASES OF SINGLE-FAMILY HOMES – President Donald Trump just signed an executive order that effectively prevents large corporations from buying single-family homes. The President posted on Truth Social, “To preserve the supply of single-family homes for American families and increase the paths to homeownership, it is the policy of my Administration that large institutional investors should not buy single-family homes that could otherwise be purchased by families.”
3. SBA HAS $26 BILLION SLUSH FOR BOGUS BUSINESSES THAT ALL EXCLUDE WHITE MEN – Chris Ruffo, the man who helped Florida legally remove DEI and wokeness from its public institutions, is claiming on Steve Bannon’s show, The War Room, that the Small Business Administration has a $26 billion slush fund they use to fund dubious businesses so long as those businesses aren’t owned by white men.

Ruffo claimed, “Yeah. So this is at the Small Business Administration. It’s a $26 billion slush fund that is dedicated to providing government contracts, including many no-bid government contracts, exclusively to firms that are owned by racial minorities and women. In many cases, these are shell companies where they have a token minority and then a private firm behind them. But in all cases, for this entire $26 billion slush fund, there’s only one identity group that is prohibited from accessing these funds or bidding for these contracts, white men.

And so this is like the epitome of DEI. It’s billions of dollars. There’s all sorts of fraud and corruption. In the program’s 45-year history, there’s never been a single audit done. And the question is simply this. It’s now one year into the Trump administration. The president came out strong on day one, said no more DEI. Why are we still administering billions of dollars for every group except for one? It seems totally unfair, totally unconstitutional. And yet it’s still something that, until now, has been surviving in the Trump administration.”

4. TRUMP DELIVERS “MARSHALL PLAN” FOR AMERICA WORTH $18 TRILLION – President Donald Trump is touting the $18 trillion in foreign investments in America, calling it America’s Martial plan. As The Federalist pointed out, that’s equivalent to 120 Marshall Plans. The Federalist also contrasted this “Marshall Plan” with the “Green” Martial plan that saw nation-states, including America, invest $20 trillion in a project to reduce carbon emissions that produced next to no substantive carbon emission reductions.
5. OIL REFINERY AND NUCLEAR POWER PLANT APPROVED IN SAME WEEK – President Trump is overseeing the return of American energy sovereignty through the construction of new oil refineries and nuclear power plants. The Biden administration had begun the process of reactivating nuclear energy by completing the construction of a nuclear power plant in George in 2024. It was the first nuclear reactor to be built in America in over 30 years.

Now, President Trump has overseen the approval of an oil refinery in Brownsville, Texas, and the construction of a first-of-its-kind nuclear reactor in Wyoming. The oil refinery is the first approved building of a new refinery in America in over 50 years. This same week, the nuclear power plant received its approval to build the nuclear reactor. With the need for energy for AI machines, nuclear power is sure to move to the fore of future energy planning, especially micro-reactors for individual AI machines.

SCI-TECH

1. U.S. GOVERNMENT MAKES DEAL TO NEVER PUSH SOCIAL MEDIA CENSORSHIP AGAIN – The U.S. government has made a deal with state governments to no longer pressure social media companies to censor Americans. Senator Eric Schmitt, who as Missouri’s Attorney General, sued the Biden administration. He alleged the administration was strong-arming social media companies to remove posts and users that didn’t conform to the progressive agenda.

Schmitt declared, “Today, after years of unrelenting litigation, we deep state into a historic 10-year, court-enforceable Consent Decree. It directly binds the Surgeon General, the CDC, and CISA: no more threats of legal, regulatory, or economic punishment. No more coercion. No more unilateral direction or veto of platform decisions to remove, suppress, deplatform, or algorithmically bury protected speech…

2. TIKTOK DEAL OFFICIALLY CLOSES, AND THE CCP WILL BE HAPPY – The TikTok deal has officially closed, with a “mostly American” investor group mutually led by Oracle and Silber Lake. ByteDance will still have a 20% stake, meaning TikTok will help fund the CCP. The venture will be led by a board that will have a majority of U.S. directors on it.
3. SOCIAL MEDIA HIT HARD IN TWO LANDMARK U.S. CASES, BOTH ADDRESSING CHILD SAFETY – Meta and YouTube have each faced legal setbacks that could portend badly for the social media industry as a whole. The first case saw Meta lose a $381 million lawsuit over child exploitation and safety, the second saw YouTube and Google lose $3 million each for not preventing child addiction. Both cases are expected to set off copycat cases, including against other social media platforms.
4. OPENAI ENDS BILLION DOLLAR DISNEY DEAL, SHUTS DOWN VIDEO AI APP SORA – OpenAI is facing existential pressure after having to cancel a $1 billion Disney deal that would have allowed the media company to use their video AI app Sora to develop content. The app was ended due to an inability to prevent it from creating dangerous deepfake videos, including pornographic ones.

Disney said of the severed deal, “We appreciate the constructive collaboration between our teams and what we learned from it, and we will continue to engage with AI platforms to find new ways to meet fans where they are while responsibly embracing new technologies that respect IP and the rights of creators.”

5. TRUMP SEEKS TO SET TERMS OF AI BRAIN DATACENTER DEBATE COMING TO AMERICA – President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social about the emerging need for massive data centers to power AI brains which every nation-state will now need to be a world power in the years to come. He offered a carrot to the main sides of the incoming debate, the taxpayers who may be on the hook to pay for the data centers, the locals affected by the data centers, and the corporatists relying on those data centers for personal power.

He characterized it in the American context, writing, “We are the ‘HOTTEST’ Country in the World, and Number One in AI. Data Centers are key to that boom, and keeping Americans FREE and SECURE but, the big Technology Companies who build them must ‘pay their own way,” His post does not address another conflict-of-interest crisis, water resources, which are also needed in large volumes to fund the AI brains.

6. NASA WANTS A MOON BASE – NASA has announced plans to build a moon base that will cost the U.S. $20 billion, according to NASA administrator Jared Isaacman. A moon base could replace the need for space stations. The moon base will also be a research and testing facility preparing the technologies needed for an eventual Mars occupation. It will also serve as the eventual departure point for the first landing. The race to Mars appears to be on.
7. HEADLINES YOU MAY HAVE MISSED
8. DOJ CLOSES BIDEN AUTOPEN INVESTIGATION, SOURCE CLAIMS – After another round of much sound and fury signaling nothing, the GOP’s Department of Justice has allegedly quietly shut down its Biden autopen investigation in much the same way it has tried to bury the Epstein Files investigation. The claim comes from the Washington Examiner, which cites an anonymous source. The Department of Justice has refused to comment when asked by the press about the claim.

2. CHINA’S NEW ETHNIC UNITY LAW READS LIKE NAZI LAW – China’s National People’s Congress approved a new law called the “Law on Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress.” The law aims to harmonize the country’s 55 state-recognized ethnic minorities with the Han majority. The law was passed on March 12 and was signed into law by Chairman Xi. The law takes effect on July 1^st.

It is feared that the law will be used to further crack down on these minorities, leading to more genocidal pogroms such as were carried out against the Uyghurs (and are still going on). Some of the tactics of the past include forcing minority groups to have more abortions, taking children and raising them as Han, and banning the use of the minority group’s languages and artistic traditions.

3. CHINA MAKES MOVE TO KILL U.S. GLOBAL RESERVE CURRENCY MONOPOLY – As Chairman Xi struggles to hold on to power at home, abroad he’s flexing his economic muscle, making a call for the Chinese Yuan to join the U.S. dollar as becoming a global reserve currency. The comments were from 2024, but were just released now, in conjunction with China’s European campaign, which includes the UK, where Xi won major concessions and territory in central London to build a massive spy center.

4. 4. HOCHUL LETS CHINA INVADE AMERICAN STREETS WITH DATA COLLECTING ROBOTAXIS – The Governor of New York and DNC-CCP party member Kathy Hochul handed New York’s vital data over to the Chinese Communist Party by allowing a country sworn to destroy our power to run their robotaxis, called Waymos, on American streets.

The company, Zeke, is a CCP-approved corporation that manufactures what are essentially street spies that members of the Democrat party appear more than ready to cosign. This, in part, is why this publication refers to the Democrats as the DNC-CCP, for they are frenemies working against their shared enemy, America.

5. DNC MAYOR STAYS IN OFFICE AFTER FIANCÉ CONVICTED OF BEING CCP SPY – The Mayor of Arcadia, CA is a naturalized U.S. citizen from China, whose fiancé was recently convicted of being a CCP spy. The fiancé, a green card holder named Yaoning “Mike” Sun, was the fiancé of Mayor Eileen Wang, a Democrat and potentially STILL a member of the CCP. She emigrated from China more than 30 years ago.

So far, Wang has refused to resign. This type of CCP activity is only a small part of the rising evidence of widespread CCP influence across both political parties, but significantly more substantively among Democrats, their natural “allies.”

6. ISRAELI TECH CEO CALLS ON U.S. TO LIMIT FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS TO PROTECT THEIR INTERESTS – Whether he realized it or not, Israeli billionaire tech entrepreneur and Cato Networks co-founder Shlomo Kramer just advocated for the restriction of Americans’ First Amendment rights essentially to protect Israel from online threats.

Here is how he chose to advance this Anti-First-Amendment narrative, “You’re seeing the polarization in countries that allow for the First Amendment and protect it, which is great. And I know it’s difficult to hear, but it’s time to limit the First Amendment in order to protect it. And quickly before it’s too late… I mean that we (government) need to control the platforms, all the social platforms. We need to stack, rank the authenticity of every person that expresses themselves online and take control over what they are saying, based on that ranking.”

7. AS U.S. PULLS AWAY FROM SOUTH KOREA, FAKE NEWS LAW PASSES IN SEOUL – The U.S. Defense Department has revealed in a National Defense Strategy release that it is shifting its policy in South Korea, now calling on the state to protect itself from conventional threats to the North. As this was revealed, the CCP-captured government amended their law to prohibit “fake news” publishing. They did so over numerous protestations, including the U.S., who may recognize South Korea is now becoming a liability, a problem, perhaps, for Japan.
8. KIM JONG-UN’S SISTER GAINS PROMINENCE AFTER WORKER’S PARTY CONGRESS VOTE – For only the 9^th time since the Kims took over North Korea in 1948, the Workers’ Party Congress convened. They affirmed Kim Jong-un as their supreme leader and promoted his sister, and right-hand lieutenant, Kim Jo-jong, from a deputy department director to a full department director.
9. WASHINGTON DEMS PLUG SOCIALIST DEBT HOLE WITH POLICE, FIREFIGHTERS’ PENSIONS – Democrat “lawmakers” in the insurrectionist state of Washington passed legislation that essentially raids the pensions of police and firefighters to the tune of $4 billion. They hope to use the stolen funds to plug a deficit in their budget caused by their own bloated socialist programs.

One recipient of that stolen money will be the “Climate Commitment Account,” which is a de facto DNC-CCP political slush fund that helps arm its street fighters we see across America on a regular basis. These street fighters have been terrorizing cities and burning down businesses for years now. They will receive over half a billion dollars, or 12.5% of the Police and Firefighters pension fund.

10. SCIENTISTS THREATEN PLANET WITH PANDEMIC IF WE DON’T END GLOBAL WARMING – A team of Romanian researchers appear to be the tip of the spear of a new climate change content marketing strategy involving dangerous bacteria. The researchers have discovered bacteria in ice cores from 5,000 years ago that appear immune to most current antibiotics. The researchers warn if global warming continues, the melted ice could release these bacteria, leading to a global, catastrophic pandemic.
11. RING’S SEARCH PARTY IS A POLICE STATE TROJAN HORSE – Amazon’s Ring Camera has added a Search Party feature critics say enables Amazon to build a pre-crime database that the state (or the corporation) could use to quickly tamp down dissent. An email from Ring Founder Jamie Simonoff is giving credence to those concerns.

He wrote, “I believe that the foundation we created with Search Party, first for finding dogs, will end up becoming one of the most important pieces of tech and innovation to truly unlock the impact of our mission. You can now see a future where we are able to zero out crime in neighborhoods. So many things to do to get there, but for the first time ever, we have the chance to fully complete what we started.”

12. CANADA ALLOWS SAD SUFFERER TO KILL HIMSELF – 26-year-old Kiano Vafaeian was given permission by the Canadian government to be murdered by doctors on the grounds that that suffering from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is “grievous and irremediable.” Vafaeian is also blind and suffers from Type 1 Diabetes. Neither condition qualifies for MAiD (Medical Assistance in Dying).

The family of Vafaeian claim, “We believe that she (the MAiD doctor) was coaching him on how to deteriorate his body and what she can possibly approve him for and what she can get away with approving him for. We don’t want to see any other family member suffer, or any country introduce a piece of legislation that kills their disabled or vulnerable without appropriate proper treatment plans that could save their lives.”

PEOPLE ADVANCE REPORT

1. VENEZUELA BECOMES A DE FACTO U.S. ALLY – The United States and Venezuela have officially restored diplomatic and consular relations that President Trump claims will lead to favorable oil and rare earth mineral deals for the U.S.. These deals freeze Russia and China out of the Venezuela equation.

U.S. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum said of the agreement, “When we are working together it can only mean two things, which is prosperity for the people of Venezuela and for the citizens of the United States, and it also brings peace and stability for the world.”

2. MURDER RATE PLUMMETS TO HISTORIC LOWS IN JUST ONE YEAR – Just one year into President Trump’s mass deportation operation, the murder rate in America dropped by a staggering 21% from 2024 to 2025. The murder rate has reached a low that hasn’t been seen since the records were first kept 125 years ago. The correlation between mass deportation and a massive drop in the murder rate cannot be dismissed, but more date would be needed to affirm causation beyond correlation.
3. 50-YEAR NET MIGRATION STREAK ENDS IN U.S. UNDER TRUMP – For the first time in 50 years, the net migration in the U.S. has reached a deficit. The report by the Brookings Institute reveals the net deficit in migration is due to a combination of forced and voluntary deportations coupled with a precipitous decline in new entries. The Brookins Institute concluded, “Though a high degree of policy uncertainty remains, continued negative net migration for 2026 is also likely.”
4. SCOTUS STOPS CALIFORNIA FROM SECRETLY TRANSGENDERING YOUR KIDS – The Supreme Court struck down a California policy that essentially allowed schools to secretly transition your children to a different “gender” without your consent. The ruling was 6-3.

The majority justices determined, “We conclude that the parents who seek religious exemptions are likely to succeed on the merits of their Free Exercise Clause claim. The parents who assert a free exercise claim have sincere religious beliefs about sex and gender, and they feel a religious obligation to raise their children in accordance with those beliefs. The right protected by these precedents includes the right not to be shut out of participation in decisions regarding their children’s mental health.”

5. CHINA’S DOOR SHUTS IN PANAMA CANAL – Panama has moved against two Hong Kong operated ports after pressure by the U.S. to force China out of the canal. Hong Kong was once an independent city-state that has since been taken over by the Chinese Communist party. CK Hutchinson Holdings responded, claiming, “None of the actions by the Panama State were advised to or coordinate with PPC. The Panama State is responsible for harm and damage caused by the confiscatory actions it has taken.”
6. SCOTUS CUTS OFF LEFTIST FOREIGN AID SLUSH FUNDS – After lower-level insurrectionist DNC-CCP judges repeatedly attempted to force the Trump administration to keep funding their party’s money laundering foreign aid fund scheme, the Supreme Court has officially ended their judicial tyranny. SCOTUS ruled 6-3 the Trump administration has every right to cut off $4 billion in foreign aid if he so chooses. The six justices assessed that “the harms to the Executive’s conduct of foreign affairs appear to outweigh the potential harm faced by respondents.”
7. NEPALESE ELECT FORMER RAPPER TO BE THEIR NEXT PM – The Gen Z revolution of Nepal has now culminated with a sweeping victory for a new party led by former rapper Balendra Shah. His party has now replaced the ruling party of the past few decades, the Communist Party of Nepal. Shah’s party has won super majorities in both the direct-vote seats of the parliament as well as the proportional representation seats. The Communist Party has fallen from majority party status to fringe 3^rd party status in this one election.
8. TWO MORE HOSPITALS ANNOUNCE CHILDREN’S GENDER TRANSITIONING PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN SHUT DOWN – Rady Children’s Hospital in San Diego, CA has announced it will no longer conduct “gender affirming care” for children. They stated. “…these developments affect our role and responsibilities as a provider participating in federal programs such as Medicaid and Medicare. This was a very difficult decision, made to ensure we can continue serving all children and families across the communities we serve.”

Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital in Tacoma, WA has also announced it will be closing down its gender care clinic, stating, “This was an incredibly painful decision, and one that I wish we did not have to make. We recognize how important this care is to our gender health clinic patients and have a sense of the impact this will have on these patients and their families.”

For those who haven’t noticed, BOTH hospitals expressed regret they could not continue to offer children life-altering chemicals, and even surgeries, under the illusion that a child can “choose” their gender. Where possible, perhaps it is time to choose a hospital that doesn’t hold the philosophical view that a child can choose a gender, and doctors should help permanently alter them to satisfy that delusion.

9. SCOTLAND BEATS BACK EUTHANASIA – Scotland’s version of legalized euthanasia has failed to pass their legislature after a 2-year push for its passage. The bill failed 69 to 57. The bill’s passage failure tables the issue legislatively for a decade or more. The move is supported by the public, with a poll showing 7 in 10 fear it could be used to pressure people to commit suicide when they otherwise wouldn’t have.
10. NY SURRENDERS ITS EFFORTS TO FORCE NUNS TO FUND ABORTIONS – After nearly 10 years of fighting and winning a SCOTUS decision, Christian organizations have finally officially won their fight to stop forcing religious organizations to fund abortions. New York has officially settled with the Christian organizations, guaranteeing they will no longer be forced to fund abortions.

One of the plaintiffs’ attorneys, Lori Windham, said of the settlement, “For nearly a decade, New York bureaucrats tried to strong-arm nuns into paying for abortions because they serve all those in need. At long last, the state has given up its disgraceful campaign. This victory confirms that the government cannot punish religious ministries for living out their faith by serving everyone. The Supreme Court has made it abundantly clear that religious groups shouldn’t be bullied for staying true to their faith.”

11. MAHA BREAKS THE BIG FOOD PYRAMID – HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has unveiled the department’s update to the previous food pyramid. The pyramid is replaced with a 10-page guide. The Secretary said of the guide, “The new guidelines recognize that whole, nutrient-dense food is the most effective path to better health and lower health care cost.”
12. HERO ICE AGENT GETS OVER $1 MILLION IN SUPPORT AFTER INJURED BY LEFTIST INSURRECTIONIST – After ICE Agent Jon Ross was injured when a leftist insurrectionist hit him with her car, death threats came in from the insurrectionist’s fellow insurrectionists, along with condemnation by DNC party leaders, including the Minnesota Governor, Tim Walz, and the Minneapolis Mayor, Jacob Frey.

To help the agent recover from his injuries, as well as to deal with the security his family now needs due to DNC activists threatening to murder them, Americans started online campaigns to fund them. So far, the two major funds, GoFundMe and GiveSendGo, have exceeded $1 million in donations, a figure that continues to climb.

13. CHARLIE KIRK’S DEATH LEADS AMERICANS TO BUY BIBLES – After the assassination of Charlie Kirk in September 2025, church attendance and public proclamations of Christ have surged.

Alysia Lui came to America from China, and her father faced great threats by the CCP to do so. Even after she came to America, the CCP was still threatening to kidnap her and force her to skate for China. She survived, going on to win the gold medal for her country of choice, America, knowing better than most Americans the blessing this country is to those who simply want to be self-stewarded people, to be free.

1. AS ECONOMY BUCKLES UNDER IRAN WAR PRESSURES, THE TARGETED REGIME IS RUNNING OUT OF LEADERS, BUT NOT THREATS – The Islamic Republic of Iran managed to launch a major attack on Qatar’s oil fields that will take years to repair. It is promising to step up its attack on the oil infrastructures of its neighbors. Israel has responded by striking some of their oil fields, a move President Trump appears to disapprove of. As leaders are appointed, they are killed, with two top leaders killed this week alone. The new Supreme Leader is reported to be effectively non-functioning.

While Iranian street soldiers continue to kill and intimidate citizens, they themselves are coming under increasing drone attacks. The pressure to finish the war mounts as the continued shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz is leading to spikes in oil prices and other knock down effects. A coalition of 6 nations has committed to join America’s efforts to open and police the Strait of Hormuz. The nations include Japan, the United Kingdom, and France.

The most alarming news may be the return of the aircraft carrier Gerald R Ford to Greece after a laundry fire broke out that took 30 hours to put out and destroyed 600 bunks. This means the Iran operation is now only supported by one U.S. aircraft carrier. The extent of the damage has not been reported by the Pentagon. The length of its repair was not given, nor was it made clear if the carrier’s escort ships will remain in theater.

2. SAVE ACT REMAINS STALLED IN SENATE, BUT NOT KILLED – Attempts to kill the SAVE Act, a bill that would make it mandatory for voters to show photo ID to vote and end request-only mail-in voting (what we refer to as mass mailer voting), has failed in the Senate, with a 51-49 vote keeping the bill alive. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) appears ready to simply offer the bill for an up-or-down vote, without forcing the Senate to vote on changing the filibuster rule to require a verbal, rather than a procedural action.

Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) is proposing the Republicans pass the measure as a budget resolution bill, making a simply majority vote in the Senate sufficient to pass the bill. Efforts by the Democrat press to demonize the bill have failed to move the needle of support, with 80% of the country as a whole supporting requiring photo ID for voting. A new tactic is to claim the bill is an unfunded mandate, placing a price tag on election integrity.

The GOP Texas Senate candidates have reached the point of no return in their race. This means the offer made by AG Paxton to withdraw from the race is no longer possible.  Paxton offered to drop out of the race if Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) does everything he can to assure the SAVE Act. Now, that option is no longer on the table due to withdrawal deadline passing.

3. EU COURT COMPELS ALL MEMBER STATES TO “RECOGNIZE” TRANSGENDER IDENTITIES – The highest court in the EU, the Court of Justice of the European Union, has ruled that all 27 members states of the union must allow all citizens to have photo ID that matches their “lived gender.” The ruling is sure to bring the differences between progressive globalism and traditional Europeanism to a head.

4. FBI RAN ROUND RIVER CAMPAIGN TO DISCREDIT CLAIMS OF BIDENS’ UKRAINE CORRUPTION – Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) claimed in a press release that the FBI ran a disinformation campaign in 2020 to protect the Biden family from potential prosecution. This operation was called Round River. It was so secret not even the then FBI Director, Bill Barr, knew of its existence.

Grassley claimed, “in August 2020, FBI Supervisory Intelligence Analyst Brian Auten opened an assessment which was used by a FBI Headquarters (‘FBI HQ’) team to improperly discredit negative Hunter Biden information as disinformation and caused investigative activity to cease.”

5. EPSTEIN WAS A FINANCIAL BOUNTY HUNTER FOR THE U.S.? – Jeffrey Epstein was officially a U.S. government agent according to a memo released among the Epstein Files. The claim comes from an unsigned memo that states, “At some point in time, Jeffrey Epstein worked for the United States government as a financial bounty hunter. He has retained significant political connections with both Israel and the United States.”

The memo’s credibility comes from another part of the note recommending further information about Epstein from other federal agencies. It also accuses Epstein of violating child exploitation and sex offender traveling laws, The memo gives more credence, though not a smoking gun, to the claim Epstein was a government agent.

6. JUDGES SET FIRE TO TRUMP AGENDA IN A SERIES OF BRUTAL RULINGS – Mostly Biden-appointed Judges have shut down numerous major Trump policies, including freezing federal funding, shutting down Voice of America, halting DEI investigations of progressive schools, stopping ICE detention facilities from opening, and more.

In the wake of a slate of questionable rulings, SCOTUS Chief Judge John Roberts has encouraged what we consider insurrectionist rulings (with some exceptions) by Democrat activist judges while shaming any critique of what we consider these many grossly egregious rulings.

7. CUBA TOTTERS ON DISSOLUTION, BUT LEADER REMAINS DEFIANT AS RUSSIA, MEXICO RUSHES TO ITS RESCUE – Russia is sending oil tankers to Cuba to rescue it from its crippling energy crisis that has left the island in a blackout condition. As dissent grows from within, the Trump administration hints it could take Cuba whenever it wants to. Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel responded that any act of aggression “will clash with an impregnable resistance.” Mexico has just announced plans to attempt to “come to Cuba’s aid,” sending a relief supply flotilla and promising to figure out how to get oil the communist country.

8. DEMS HOLD FIRM ON DHS SHUTDOWN AS NATION FEELS GROWING EFFECT – The Democrat Party is continuing to refuse to support any DHS funding bill until ICE is “reformed” to the point of being feckless at removing illegal aliens. Lines grow in airports, and TSA agents are starting to call in sick, not wanting to work without pay (even though they will receive their pay when the shutdown ends). National security concerns have been heightened in lieu of a slew of recent Islamist attacks on American soil. The DNC media continues to protect the Democrat Party from being blamed for the shutdown, choosing instead to blame Republicans.

While the Senate works to push through a new DHS head, Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK), the White House is claiming it has attempted to negotiate with the Democrats but has received no response. They released a letter to the Democrats, offering concessions on five points, expanding body-camera usage, limiting civil immigration enforcement activities at “sensitive areas,” improving DHS detention facility oversight, enforcing visible officer identification, and NOT deporting U.S. citizens.

The letter claims, “The Administration has worked in good faith to again reach bipartisan agreement on full funding for the entire Department of Homeland Security and institute common–sense operational improvements to federal immigration enforcement operations that enhance the safety of American communities. Democrats must stop holding the safety and security of the American people hostage and move forward with fully funding DHS.”

9. PAKISTANI AIR STRIKE ALLEGEDLY KILLS 400 IN AFGHANI HOSPITAL – The Taliban government of Afghanistan is accusing Pakistan of striking a drug rehab facility in Kabul that killed 400 plus people. Pakistan has been engaging in air strikes just inside the border of Afghanistan, allegedly targeting terror camp it says have been used to attack Pakistanis. After a global backlash, Pakistan has pledged to suspend air operations, for now.

10. BIDEN ADMIN INTEL UNCOVERED CHINA’S EFFORTS TO HELP THEM WIN IN 2020, SO THEY BURIED THE EVIDENCE – The Biden administration’s own intelligence community uncovered evidence China was attempting to influence the U.S. election in 2020. They were working to help President Biden win. The degree to which they were successful can be debated, but what cannot be debated is that the intelligence community quickly buried the evidence in bureaucratic language games that allowed Chinese interference to be classified as something other than what it actually was.

Analytic ombudsman Barry Zulauf produced a report in 2021 that claimed, “China analysts appeared hesitant to assess Chinese actions as undue influence or interference. These analysts appeared reluctant to have their analysis on China brought forward because they tended to disagree with the Administration’s policies, saying in effect, I don’t want our intelligence used to support those policies.”

11. THE MAN WHO RESIGNED IN OPPOSITION TO THE IRAN WAR WAS ALREADY UNDER FBI INVESTIGATION – The now-former director of the National Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent, resigned over existential opposition to the war in Iran. He claimed Iran posed no serious threat to the U.S. and that Israel somehow tricked the U.S. into attacking Iran in the first place. His hyperbolic language is strong evidence that suggests he is an activist, not a dispassionate analyst. We assume he is pushing an agenda, a Progmerican agenda, not fact

ED.NOTE: This is not an endorsement of the war, even if we hope for a quick American victory.

Further evidence of that assumption comes from the now-emerged claim Kent was under FBI investigation for potentially leaking classified intelligence. The story claiming he was under investigation was published one day before his resignation, giving the story more credence.

In response to questions about Kent, the White House Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt claimed only that there are ongoing investigations into leakers. She also claimed Kent was NOT part of the intelligence briefings leading up to the Iran War, undermining his credibility regarding the knowledge of the decision-making process that led to the war.

1. CHINA’S NEW ETHNIC UNITY LAW READS LIKE NAZI LAW – China’s National People’s Congress approved a new law called the “Law on Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress.” The law aims to harmonize the country’s 55 state-recognized ethnic minorities with the Han majority. The law was passed on March 12 and was signed into law by Chairman Xi. The law takes effect on July 1^st.

It is feared that the law will be used to further crack down on these minorities, leading to more genocidal pogroms such as were carried out against the Uyghurs (and are still going on). Some of the tactics of the past include forcing minority groups to have more abortions, taking children and raising them as Han, and banning the use of the minority group’s languages and artistic traditions.

2. 9^TH CIRCUIT BLASTED BY OWN JUDGE FOR RULING THAT ALLOWS MEN IN RELIGIOUS WOMEN’S SPACES – After the U.S. 9^th circuit court ruled religious groups cannot keep trans men out of women’s spaces, they receive a fiery dissent. 9^th Circuit Judge Lawrence VanDyke began his dissent with the phrase, “This is a case about swinging d#%ks.”

He then added, “The fact that the religious owners of a traditional Korean, women-only, nude spa are prohibited by law from preventing a naked adult male, who remains sexually attracted to women, from exposing himself to thirteen-year-old girls tragically illustrates the sick and twisted consequences of erasing sex as a coherent legal category

My distressed colleagues appear to have the fastidious sensibilities of a Victorian nun when it comes to mere unpleasant words in my opinion yet exhibit the scruples of our dearly departed colleague Judge Reinhardt when it comes to the government trampling on religious liberties and exposing women and girls to male genitalia. That kind of selective outrage speaks for itself.”

3. AI GURU SUGGESTS AI WILL BECOME A UTILITY – OpenAI CEO and AI pioneer Sam Altman is suggesting AI will become like your utilities. He said, “People buy it from us on a meter and use it for whatever they want to use it for. We see a future where intelligence is a utility like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter and use it for whatever they want to use it for.”

4. FBI STILL PURCHASING YOUR LOCATION DATA, KASH PATEL CONFESSES – Apparently, the FBI is still buying your location data from 3^rd party providers, data that can be used to track you. FBI Director Kash Patel admitted to the practice in a Senate Hearing. He was asked by Senator Ron Wyden (R-OR) if the FBI was still engaging in the practice. Patel responded, “We do purchase commercially available information that is consistent with the Constitution and the laws under the Electronic Communications Privacy Act — and it has led to some valuable intelligence for us.”
5. NEA TRAINING ANTI-AMERICAN INSURRECTIONISTS, NOT TEACHERS – The National Education Association recently held a training session called “Advocacy and Free Speech Rights for K-12 Education” that seeks to establish the oughtness of woke ideology as the oughtness of human life. This action is sectarian in nature, which is troubling given the nature of the organization. It is one of the largest teachers’ unions in America, with over 3 million teachers. The question is not if the organization crossed the line into political activism, but what, if anything will be done about it.

6. MINNESOTA TEACHERS’ UNION SPENDS TIME, MONEY COORDINATING TERRORIST ATTACKS ON ICE AGENTS – According to an investigation by Defending Education, a teachers’ union called “Minneapolis Families for Public Schools (MFPS)” has been coordinating an initiative to effectively help teachers organize resistance to ICE arrests of illegal aliens.

The “initiate” is called “TakeAction Minnesota.” On the website, they claim “We will teach and demonstrate resistance tactics that can be replicated elsewhere, leaving no community undefended. We hope to force an end to ICE’s unprecedented siege of Minnesota — and further the movement to abolish ICE altogether while we do it,”

Rhyen Staley, research director at Defending Education, stated “The teachers unions continue to prove they are rotten apples that only care about far-left street activism, to the detriment of educating children. Teachers and community groups should be dedicating time to improving learning outcomes for students, not creating strategies and lists of people to attempt to thwart law enforcement.”
