SCOTUS Kills Race-Based Gerrymandering

pgnewser April 29, 2026 0

There were three big wins this month for the Republicans in the Gerrymandering Wars that culminated with a major SCOTUS ruling on race-based gerrymandering.

First, the Virginia Supreme Court continues to refuse to certify the special election that saw the Progressives win the “right” to use gerrymandering to eliminate 4 GOP U.S. House Seats.

Second, SCOTUS has confirmed the Texas gerrymander map that switches 5 Democrat-held seats to 5 likely GOP seats. In Florida, a gerrymander plan is advancing in the legislature that would net the GOP 4 more seats in the U.S. House.

Third, SCOTUS has struck down race-based gerrymandered districts in a move that is existentially threatening to the Democrat Party in its current iteration.

The U.S. Supreme Court issued a 6-3 bombshell ruling gutting the discriminatory practice of racial gerrymandering in the redistricting process. The 6-3 majority opinion, written by Justice Samuel Alito, found unconstitutional the twisting of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 by courts “to engage in the very race-based discrimination that the Constitution forbids.”

“It’s been a good week” for the rule of law, election law expert Hans von Spakovsky told The Federalist following the SCOTUS ruling in Louisiana v. Callais.

The Supreme Court reinstated Texas’s redrawn congressional map Monday, resulting in a huge win for Republicans, which could help them keep control of Congress.

The map was originally redrawn in August 2025 at the behest of President Donald Trump to add up to five additional House seats for the GOP as they head into a critical midterm election cycle this November.

It was instantly met with legal challenges, with a lower court issuing an injunction blocking the new map.

In December, the Supreme Court stepped in and issued a stay, keeping the map in place until a final ruling could be issued.

The justices initially faulted the lower court for committing “serious errors,” the main one being that it “failed to honor the presumption of legislative good faith by constructing ambiguous direct and circumstantial evidence against the legislature.”

Monday’s 6-3 vote reversing the lower court ruling fell along ideological lines, with the conservative justices ruling in the state’s favor, and the three liberal justices dissenting, according to Reuters.

Lincoln Reflecting Pool Restoration Saves and Dazzles

pgnewser April 27, 2026 1

President Donald Trump oversaw an upgrade of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool that saved the nation hundreds of millions and left the monument looking better than ever before.

Trump Restores a Landmark and Saves Millions – PJ Media– pjmedia.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

President Donald Trump has directed a major renovation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, giving Secretary of Interior Doug Burgum the lead on the project. The pool badly leaked and looked neglected for years.

 

Trump chose an industrial-grade swimming pool surface in American flag blue. The coating covers the aging granite bottom and seals the leaks.

Trump announced the work on April 23 and set a clear timeline. The job costs around $1.5 million and should finish within weeks. Previous plans called for full granite replacement at roughly $301 million, stretching over many years.

That’s the approach Trump rejected while selecting a faster, cheaper solution that delivers results right away. The pool sits between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument and serves as one of the most recognized landmarks in the country. The renovation keeps it ready for national events and daily visitors.

The president announced the renovation at an Oval Office event Thursday, saying the coating had already begun. He was inspired to tackle the project after a friend visited from Germany and lamented that the water was filthy and looked disgusting, Trump said.

“And I went over there with Secret Service in tow, and I said, isn’t that a shame? That’s terrible,” Trump said, showing reporters a photo of the site as it undergoes work.

The project is one more makeover refashioning the nation’s capital to Trump’s liking, following others such as the demolition of the White House’s East Wing to make room for a new ballroom.

 

Trump has focused on visible results people see without digging through reports, pointing to years of neglect that left the water dirty and the pool in poor condition. Crews have already begun work and continue moving at a steady pace. The new blue surface reflects the sky and the monuments surrounding it, giving the site a clean and finished look.

The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool carries deep historical weight. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech on those same steps in 1963, with the pool stretching out before him.

Generations have gathered there for moments that define the country; maintaining that space requires attention, funding, and a willingness to act when problems appear.

Trump, as is his custom, chose to act.

In Trump’s telling, the reflection pool project is a case study in business acumen. The president said he scrapped plans to have the granite replaced, which he said was estimated to cost $301 million and would take at least three years.

Instead, Trump said he called a few pool contractors he knows from past real estate projects — “I have a guy who’s unbelievable at doing swimming pools up the road,” Trump said.

The president went with a plan to clean the granite and lay down a new “industrial grade pool” surface for $1.5 million, he said. All told, it would take a few weeks. Trump noted it would be ready well before July 4, when the nation celebrates the 250th anniversary of its independence.

Trump brought up the project unprompted and spoke about it for several minutes at a White House event on efforts to reduce drug prices. He said he initially wanted a turquoise-colored surface “like in the Bahamas” but was sold when a contractor suggested “American flag blue.”

 

As you can imagine, TDS hit critics who are pushing back, with some questioning the color. Others wonder about the method, yet none of those complaints change the basic outcome. The pool no longer leaks, keeping costs low, with a short timeline. Visitors will see a clean and functioning landmark instead of a worn and failing one.

Burgum has overseen the project through the Interior Department and has worked to keep it moving without delays. He’s supported a practical approach that avoids construction and unnecessary spending, an approach that stands in contrast to the earlier proposal that would’ve drained hundreds of millions of dollars and tied up the site for an extended period.

Trump said U.S. Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum told him there have been “a lot of problems” with the pool, adding that it hasn’t worked properly for “many years.”

The president said the pool is “decaying” and plagued by leaks, adding that the renovation could be completed more quickly and at a lower cost than traditional reconstruction. He has framed the effort as part of a broader push to improve the appearance of Washington, D.C., and prepare for the nation’s 250th anniversary celebrations.

The results show the difference.

Washington has seen plenty of projects stall, drag on, or balloon in cost, a pattern that has become familiar. Trump’s approach breaks from that pattern by setting a goal, funding it, and completing it without unnecessary delay. The reflecting pool now stands as an example of how quickly a problem can be resolved when leadership chooses action over process.

 

The broader point reaches beyond a single landmark. Government often promises improvement and delivers paperwork. In this case, the work is visible, measurable, and complete within a short window.

The pool holds water, the surface looks clean, and the setting matches the importance of the memorial it serves.

While critics keep talking, renovations keep standing.

Senate GOP Finally Passes ICE Fund Bill

Senate Republicans pushed a border-enforcement funding plan over the finish line in the early hours Thursday, advancing a measure aimed at bolstering U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Border Patrol through the remainder of the Trump administration.

Using the budget reconciliation process, which allows certain legislation to pass the Senate with a simple majority, the chamber adopted the bill shortly after 3:30 a.m. Eastern following roughly six hours of debate, CBS News reported.

The overnight session featured a “vote-a-rama,” a fast-moving marathon in which senators offer amendments that receive limited debate and must be voted on.

The measure passed 50-48, with Democrats voting no. Republican Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska voted against it, according to the Senate roll call. Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa did not vote.

The decision to no longer enforce mandatory annual flu shots for military personnel could mean more troops will get sick during flu season, one expert says

The U.S. military will no longer require service members to be vaccinated against the flu, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said in a social media post on Tuesday, a decision that some health experts say could endanger troops.

“The War Department is once again restoring freedom to our Joint Force. We are discarding the mandatory flu vaccine requirement, effective immediately,” Hegseth wrote in the post.

The policy stands in contrast to the current recommendations of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the country’s highest public health body, which says all Americans over the age of six months who do not have contraindications should get the annual flu shot. The CDC estimates that the vaccine saved some 12,000 lives and prevented about 180,000 hospitalizations during the 2024–2025 flu season.

No more men in women’s cells

A federal appeals court on Friday allowed for the biologically accurate placement of transgender prisoners in accordance with President Donald Trump’s directive on housing inmates by biological sex, a ruling that incarcerated women hope will help their lawsuits aimed at moving biological males out of women’s prisons across the country.

Trump, upon taking office, issued an executive order directing the Federal Bureau of Prisons to undo a Biden-era transgender accommodation policy that placed biological males who identified as female in women-only facilities.

Seventeen transgender inmates, all biological males, then anonymously sued the Trump administration to prevent their transfer from women’s prisons. They won preliminary injunctions in district courts, which have blocked their transfers since February 2025.

Last week, a three-judge appellate panel vacated the injunctive relief, finding that the transgender litigants in Jane Doe v. Todd Blanche failed to prove that reassigning them to male-designated units would constitute “cruel and unusual punishment” in violation of their Eighth Amendment rights.

U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. indicated that he’s following through on his promise to reform the panel of experts that determines which preventive medical services insurance companies must fully cover under the Affordable Care Act, commonly referred to as “Obamacare.”

The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force “has been lackadaisical and negligent for 20 years,” Kennedy told the House Ways and Means Committee. 

Kennedy announced last July that he intended to dismiss all 16 panel members of the task force because he viewed them as too “woke.” 

“We’re now bringing new members on who have a clear mission,” Kennedy told the committee on Thursday. 

Politico reported that “some public health advocates worry that Kennedy would remake the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force to align it with his views, many of which go against mainstream science, the same way he overhauled the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, appointing members who shared his skepticism of vaccine safety.” 

The task force was formed in 1984 to advise the federal government on preventive health matters. The Affordable Care Act in 2010 broadened its mandate, giving it the power to determine which screenings, counseling and preventive medications insurers must cover at no cost to patients.

In recent years, however, the task force had undergone mission creep. It developed a formal Health Equity Framework to systematically consider race, ethnicity, sex, gender, and social risk factors to be used in all of their recommendation processes. 

Dirt-Powered Batteries

Researchers from Northwestern University have invented a fuel cell that is powered by microbes found in soil. Northwestern alumnus Bill Yen, who led the work, said of their proof-of-concept, “We need to find alternatives that can provide low amounts of energy to power a decentralized network of devices… we looked to soil microbial fuel cells, which use special microbes to break down soil and use that low amount of energy to power sensors. As long as there is organic carbon in the soil for the microbes to break down, the fuel cell can potentially last forever.”

Yuancheng Ryan Lu could barely breathe while he waited for his labmate to adjust the microscope focus.

On the slide in front of them were the results of Lu’s latest attempt to turn back time for ageing retinal nerve cells. If it worked, the method he was using could help to restore eyesight to older adults with glaucoma, an age-related condition that damages the optic nerve. And perhaps some day it could be used to rejuvenate organs such as the kidneys or liver — maybe even the brain.

Lu had spent three years trying different approaches — and had failed. But this time looked different. Lu had introduced three genes into mouse eyes that should revert cells to a younger developmental state. And there under the microscope he thought he could see signs of new growth. Now, he was asking his labmate to confirm his suspicions. “I was so nervous,” says Lu, now a geneticist at the Whitehead Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

President Trump has long maintained that the charges brought forward by former President Biden’s DOJ were disproportionate, the consequence of witch hunts and lawfare.

The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed motions to vacate federal convictions against members of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers stemming from the January 6, 2021, riot at the US Capitol.

The motions were filed on Tuesday, just days before an appeals court was set to hear some of the defendants’ requests to reverse their seditious conspiracy convictions. President Donald Trump commuted these individuals’ lengthy prison sentences last year, but they did not obtain pardons.

The first court filing applies to the following individuals, who are members of the right-wing group, the Proud Boys: Ethan Nordean, 36, of Washington; Joseph Biggs, 42, of Florida; Zachary Rehl, 38, of Pennsylvania; and Dominic Pezzola, 49, of New York. Each of them was convicted in the US District Court for the District of Columbia on seditious conspiracy charges and several other felonies, including obstruction of an official proceeding, according to court documents.

Nordean was sentenced to 18 years in prison, Biggs was sentenced to 17 years in prison, Rehl was sentenced to 15 years in prison, and Pezzola was sentenced to 10 years in prison. The Proud Boys are known for street fighting members of Antifa, a designated terrorist organization.

“The United States respectfully requests that the Court vacate the defendants’ convictions and remand to the district court so that the government may move to dismiss the indictment with prejudice under Rule 48(a),” the motion states.

One of the most progressive colleges in the nation, Hampshire College, announced Tuesday it will shut down permanently, as it is out of cash and out of options.

“The College no longer has the resources to sustain full operations and meet our regulatory responsibilities,” President Jenn Chrisler stated in an announcement, adding the Board of Trustees voted to permanently close the college following the fall 2026 semester.

“We want to assure you that Hampshire’s board made its decision only after exploring every possible alternative,” Chrisler wrote.

The private Massachusetts liberal arts college — which openly touts its embrace of progressive concepts — had grappled with low enrollment and big budget deficits for several years.

But the budget woes never stopped campus leaders from funding programs advancing LGBTQ and DEI concepts amid laying off employees and slashing departments, as The College Fix previously reported.

Hampshire College made headlines years ago when it took down the U.S. flag to promote multiculturalism. More recently it offered Florida students wanting to flee the state’s conservatism a streamlined enrollment process.

As The College Fix previously reported:

Despite the longterm budget woes, campus leaders have continued to emphasize left-leaning programs and curricula over more traditional studies.

“Since the rocky year of 2019, Hampshire has undergone a major curriculum transformation, replacing traditional majors and departments with curricula focused on addressing pressing global issues such as climate change and racism,” Higher Ed Dive reported in July.

In recent months, Hampshire College has also touted its efforts to study and promote topics such as Drag and Environmental Justice, Disrupting and Dismantling White Supremacy, and Inclusive Weightlifting.

“Hampshire College made a big deal about offering spots to all of the left-wing New College of Florida students who wanted to leave after we eliminated their DEI and gender studies programs. Now Hampshire College is shutting down—go woke, go broke,” conservative activist Christopher Rufo posted on X in response to the news.

The case was brought by the Hobby Distillers Association and four of its members, who challenged an 1868 law which prohibited the operation of distilling spirits in or near homes.

The statute, enforced by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, carries criminal penalties, including fines of up to $10,000 and up to five years imprisonment.

Light-Powered Recharge in Seconds

A quantum battery prototype has been built that can allegedly recharge itself with light alone. It is an organic battery as well. The battery prototype was built by CSIRO, RMIT and the University of Melbourne.

Scientists build a quantum battery that charges using light in seconds – Times of India

The CSIRO, RMIT and the University of Melbourne have successfully built a quantum battery prototype from theory into practice, meaning both energy and physics sciences have now made this transition to energy technology. Whereas traditional electrochemical cells rely on chemical reactions for their energy storage, this organic battery uses principles of quantum mechanics, specifically superposition and light-matter interactions, for the same purpose.

Superextensive charging (when a battery can charge faster as it increases in size) is one of the key characteristics that define this development; therefore, the quantum battery will, in turn, overcome the degradation factor typically seen in conventional batteries as they increase in size.

This room temperature prototype will potentially allow near-instantaneous charging and long-distance wireless power transfer using lasers.

Criminal Charges Dropped Against Team Behind Videos Exposing Planned Parenthood Baby Part Sales – lifenews.com

All criminal charges against our team are finally dropped.

After ten long, brutal years of relentless legal warfare, our entire team is fully vindicated and completely out of the courts — no jail time, no fines, no probation, and no admission of guilt. The videos stand. The truth endures.

Even with the $18 million civil judgement I still face, God has sustained us, and the abortion industry’s attempt to silence us has failed.

CNN called Operation Rescue “The Abortionists’ Number One Foe.” I am proud to lead that fight.

Ten years ago this summer, the Center for Medical Progress — which I co-founded, secretly directed, and fully funded through Operation Rescue donors — caught Planned Parenthood red-handed in their grotesque baby body parts trafficking ring.

While David Daleiden faced the cameras, I stayed in the shadows because Planned Parenthood knew my face and had targeted me for years. Operation Rescue donors bankrolled the entire operation, and our hidden cameras captured the horror:

Trump Signs Executive Order Limiting Mail-In Ballots – Legal Insurrection

President Donald Trump signed an executive order that limits who can submit a mail-in ballot in elections.

Trump signed the order “to strengthen election integrity by ordering citizen verification.”

“The Order directs the Secretary of Homeland Security, in coordination with the Social Security Administration, to compile and transmit to each State a State Citizenship List of confirmed U.S. citizens who will be 18 or older at the time of the next upcoming Federal election and reside in that State,” according to the fact sheet.

Mail-in ballots are not going anywhere.

It’s worth doing something to prevent fraud.

White House Staff Secretary Will Scarf said:

Mr. President, as you said, you have in front of you an executive order that deals with a number of issues relating to election integrity. As you’ve consistently identified, two of the biggest problems we have with election integrity in this country are one, inaccurate voter rolls that allow ineligible people to vote in various federal and state elections all over the country. Then secondarily, you’ve consistently identified that vote by mail in this country has become rife with fraud, people returning ballots who aren’t eligible, eligible to return ballots, ballots being sent to people who aren’t confirmed to be eligible voters.

So what this executive order is going to do is one, we’re going to take federal data, we’re going to ensure that each state’s election officials are provided with a comprehensive view of who the eligible voters in their jurisdiction actually are, allowing them to properly verify that everybody voting in their elections is legally able to vote. And then it orders the Postmaster General, the US Postal Service, to take bold new measures to verify that ballots both being sent to people are being sent to people who are eligible to vote, and then the ballots being returned are being properly returned by eligible voters only.

And we believe that combined the measures in this executive order will help secure elections in the future and ensure that the many abuses of our election system in the past aren’t repeated in future elections.

The IOC Just Dealt a Body Blow to Men Competing in Women’s Olympic Sports – RedState– redstate.com

Blurb:

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) made a huge announcement Thursday: going forward, biological males will be banned from competing in women’s categories at the Olympics, and all athletes who wish to compete as women will have to pass a SRY gene screening.

The SRY gene is located on the Y chromosome and is found in biological males. The IOC said in its announcement that it “considers that the presence of the SRY gene is fixed throughout life and represents highly accurate evidence that an athlete has experienced male sex development.” Athletes who want to compete in women’s events will have to undergo “once-in-a-lifetime” testing for the SRY gene via saliva, cheek swab or blood sample.

“The policy was developed on the basis that it is universally accepted that providing for a female category is necessary to allow both males and females equal access to elite sport,” the IOC said in an announcement.

“It was guided by the IOC’s modern goals relating to equality (equal opportunities for female athletes in finals, on podiums and in championships); enhancing Olympic value (featuring both women’s and men’s finals in every sport); and visibility and inspiration (celebrating female athletes on the Olympic podium to inspire and represent women and girls worldwide).”

The Slovenian Supreme Court has upheld the results of the assisted suicide referendum that rejected the Slovenian assisted suicide law.

The Slovenian parliament legalized assisted suicide in July 2025. After the passing of the poison bill, a group of citizens organized by Aleš Primc, of the Slovenian Voice for Children and Families, collected 46,000 to require a referendum on the assisted suicide bill.

On November 23, 2025, the Slovenian people rejected the assisted suicide law by passing the referendum by a 53.46% margin.

A. TOP STORIES

  1. TRUMP ANNOUNCES PLAN TO END DHS PAY FREEZE WITH EMERGENCY DECLARATION – In a move that is sure to be immediately challenged in a progressive court, President Trump has announced a plan to end the DHS pay freeze without using congress. He declared, “They are refusing to fund Immigration Enforcement unless the Republicans agree to their Open Border Policies, which will never, ever happen again….

Because the Democrats have recklessly created a true National Crisis, I am using my authorities under the Law to protect our Great Country, as I always will do! Therefore, I am going to sign an Order instructing the Secretary of Homeland Security, Markwayne Mullin, to immediately pay our TSA Agents in order to address this Emergency Situation, and to quickly stop the Democrat Chaos at the Airports.”

  1. THE NEW LEADERSHIP OF IRAN IS ALREADY DEAD – By the time you see this, Iran may very well have selected a new group of future military targets, their new leadership. They had to select a new leadership 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.
  2. 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.

  1. 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 3rd party status in this one election.

B. U.S. POLITICS

  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…

This is the first real, operational restraint on the federal censorship machine. It locks in the First Amendment principle we fought for: modern technology doesn’t erase your rights, and government labels don’t strip speech of protection. The deep state just got checked.”

  1. VA STATE SPECIAL ELECTION DELIVERS CRUSHING BLOW TO DNC – The GOP candidate for a special election for the House of Delegates District 98 seat beat the DNC challenger by 25 points. Republican Andrew Rice defeated Democrat Cheryl Smith 62.5% to 37.5%. While the district is already Republican, the depth of the victory by a non-incumbent over a Democrat challenger serves as a warning to the Virginia Democrats in power that support for their radical agenda is not as deep and profound as they imagine.
  2. ICE GETS SCOTUS PROTECTION FROM PROGRESSIVE THREAT – After numerous progressive leaders from Susan Rice to Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker have been making veiled threats to ICE agents, SCOTUS has pre-emptively intervened. The Progressives have been calling for ICE agents to face criminal prosecution for following President Trump’s SCOTUS-approved orders. Now, SCOTUS has ruled 6-3 to overthrow a lower court ruling that would have given the Progressives the power to carry through with their threats.
  3. TRUMP GIVEN GREEN LIGHT TO DETAIN ILLEGALS WITHOUT BOND – The Trump administration received another rare win in a week of judicial defeats, this time from a panel of the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The panel ruled 2-1 to reverse a lower court order that would have essentially forced the DHS to have a catch and release policy for illegal immigrants. The ruling now generally allows illegals to be detained without bond until their removal case is resolved by the court.

C. LAWFARE

  1. TRUMP’S 2020 ELECTORS FULLY FREE FROM PROSECUTION AFTER MICHIGAN DA SURRENDERS – Michigan DA Dana Nessel has decided she will not pursue charges against 16 Trump electors from the 2020 election who attempted to claim they should be recognized as the real delegates because the election was stolen. The Trump electors were charged with election fraud, a charge that doesn’t stick, as a district court judge ruled, saying they were being charged for freedom of speech, not for committing fraud.

Now, after looking for ways to defy the district judge’s ruling, the DA has given up the fight. She claimed, “My office did not reach this decision lightly, though after a thorough assessment of the resources and time required to pursue justice in these cases, the pace and difficulty with which various courts have dealt with criminal violations of election law, and our likelihood of success given stringent appellate review standards, I have decided not to pursue an appeal.”

  1. MICHAEL FLYN WINS $1.2 MILLION REDEMPTION – Former National Security Advisor Michael Flyn won a $1.2 million settlement from the Department of Justice after the DOJ’s unconstitutional prosecution of him. Flyn was the initial tip of the spear of the Russian collusion hoax.

Under extreme DOJ pressure, including against Flyn’s family members, he pleaded guilty to charges he was in the process of seeking to throw out before President Trump pardoned him in November 2020. This came after the DOJ itself reversed course on the Flyn case, admitting it had no proper basis to interview Flyn in the first places. It also admitted his statements were not material to a valid investigation, let alone valid charges.

  1. PROGMERICAN JUDGE GETS APPEALS COURT REBUKE AFTER ATTEMPT TO BECOME CHICAGO’S SELF-APPOINTED IMMIGRATION CZAR – An Obama-appointed Judge, Sara Ellis, got a verbal beatdown from the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, accusing her of “effectively establish[ing]” herself “as the supervisor of all Executive Branch activity in the city of Chicago.” The court shut down her effective effort to control the Federal Immigration policies for the city of Chicago and its surrounding communities.

Parts of her initial order included a requirement that the DHS gives her a daily brief of all their activities in the city, to assure compliance, They also include preventing federal agents from “using hands-on physical force such as pulling or shoving to the ground, tackling, or body slamming’ anyone who is not causing an immediate threat of physical harm to other…” It also ordered that anyone calling themselves a journalist should be allowed to stay in an area, even if a dispersal order is lawfully given.

D. CULTURE

  1. LOUISVILLE TO PAY NEARLY $1 MILLION TO CHRISTIAN BAKER – An attempt by the city of Louisville, KY to force Christians to bake gay wedding cakes has cost the city $800K. That is the amount the city was ordered to pay out to Chelsey Nelson, who sued the city after it tried to threaten Nelson with unspecified damages if she did not make a gay marriage affirming cake.
  2. COLORADANS GET OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE ON TRANSGENDERS IN SPORTS AND PREVENTING CHILD “TRANSITIONS” – In Colorado, two ballot initiatives have been approved that both deal with transgenderism. One measure would prevent physicians from performing surgeries on children to change the appearance of their gender. A second measure would prevent boys presenting as girls from participating in female sports.

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.”

  1. CHRISTIANS CAN NOW ADOPT IN VERMONT – For a brief season in Vermont, Christians could not adopt children because of the progressive-controlled state’s presupposition that homosexuality and transgenderism are good and should be celebrated, especially in children.

Now, Vermont has been reeled in after a settlement between the state’s child grooming and terrorizing agency, the Department of Children and Families, and Christian couples who sued for the right to adopt children without bending the knee to the left’s child grooming ideology.

Now, the DCF’s new guidelines protect Christians from leftist terrorism. It reads “[a]pplicants’ sincerely held personal, cultural, religious, moral, or philosophical beliefs shall not be considered in the licensing process.”

  1. INDIANA LAW PREVENTS CHRISTIANS FROM BEING BANNED FROM ADOPTION AND FOSTER CARE – 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.
  2. 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.
  3. EZRA MOMENT TO HAPPEN TO MARK 250TH ANNIVERSARY OF AMERICA – Over 480 national leaders from a wide spectrum of industries, including politics, entertainment, and ministry, will be gathering to read scripture from Genesis to Revelation. The commemoration hearkens back to Ezra reading scripture to the people after returning from the exile and preparing to rebuild the temple and the city of Jerusalem (Nehemiah 8:2-3).

The event will take place in Washington, D.C. along the National Mall. It will happen from April 18-26. Creator and organizer Bunni Pounds said of the event, “It hit me in that moment, looking at Ezra at the Museum of the Bible, that we really need an Ezra moment in our nation. We need Americans to realize who we are, just like Ezra stood up with a scroll and he read the Books of Moses to the Israelites. We have, in a lot of ways, forgotten who we are as Christians and as Americans, because the foundation of Scripture is absent from our life.

And so I thought, man, it would be awesome if we had national leaders from all spheres of influence, all demographics and denominations, if they would stand up humbly in front of the American people and tell us that this is where they get their life and their peace and their wisdom is in Scripture every day as individuals. And then what if we read the Bible all the way through as Americans for the 250th birthday?”

  1. 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.

  1. DOGE CUTS $2 BILLION IN GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS – The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has helped federal agencies modify or cancel $2 billion worth of government contracts in the last 4 weeks alone, producing an overall savings of $757 million for the American taxpayer. DOGE’s similar efforts in the four weeks prior affected 273 government contracts, which led to a total savings of $1.4 billion. This means DOGE is reporting a savings of over $2 billion in the last two months of work alone.
