- POPE FRANCIS PASSES ONE DAY AFTER EASTER – A day after meeting with Vice President JD Vance and making a public appearance delivering the benediction on Easter Sunday, Pope Francis passed away at the age of 88 on Monday, April 21, 2025, 7:35 AM. He had been hospitalized for five weeks with life-threatening pneumonia before being released four weeks ago to recover in his own residence.
He currently lies in state, where he will remain until his funeral this weekend. No clear front-runner has emerged in the bid to replace him, though conservatives and leftists are vying to ensure “their man” takes the helm.
- TARIFF WAR CONTINUES AS TRUMP HINTS AT “SOFTENING” – President Trump is claiming he is in the midst of making numerous deals as a result of his newly imposed tariffs while also suggesting China tariffs could “come down substantially.” He is claiming he is close to a deal with China, while Xi says no negotiations are happening.
China is warning nations not to go along with Trump’s tariff deals, a threat a top Democrat party leader, Jamie Raskin (D-MD), repeated, this time threatening countries a bad time if they go along with Trump once the Democrats are in power. His overt violation of the Logan Act was not prosecuted by Trump’s DOJ. He said, “Implicit in it should be the idea that if and when we come back to power – and we will – we are not going to look kindly upon people who … facilitated authoritarianism in our country.”
- DID CCP HELP WU BECOME BOSTON MAYOR? – Boston Mayor Michelle Wu (D) is alleged to have taken hundreds of thousands of dollars from a CCP agent named Gary Yu. This allegation is coming from Daily Caller, who claims Wu’s Chinese name, Yu Guoliang, reveals he is “listed as an official by an agency of a (CCP) influence and intelligence service called United Front Work Department…”
Daily Caller quotes China expert Gordon Chang in response to this report, “Wu’s ultra-leftism makes her the perfect candidate for CCP recruitment and capture. Or do we have it backward? Is her ultra-leftism the result of CCP recruitment and capture? More than just the people of Boston would like to know.”
- REAL ID BECOMES REALLY REQUIRED – As of May 7, 2025, if you want to fly on a U.S. plane and you are an American citizen, you will now be required to have a Real ID to do so. This follows delays in the deadline that go back to 2020. The major difference between Real ID and current Federal ID is the increase in documentation requirements, like verifying social security numbers, compared to current Federal IDs.
The underlying methodology is what makes Real ID a potential threat to liberty. Read more about REAL ID here.
- U.S. POLITICS
- SCOTUS ESCALATES WAR AGAINST TRUMP, FORCING CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS – The judiciary is asserting it has the right to order President Trump to bring the illegal alien gang banger back to America, and the executive is claiming it has no such right. The recent midnight ruling by SCOTUS by a 7-2 vote to halt further deportations until the court rules has only accelerated the crisis. This week alone, April 20-25, 2025, numerous orders striking down parts of Trump’s agenda came out by more activist district judges.
In the May End-of-Month issue, we will continue our report on the effort by Democrats to use seditious judges, leftist activist judges, to undermine the American republic and the Trump agenda. Justice Alito issued a fiery dissent, accusing the court of coming close to breaking the law.
This writer flat-out believes the judiciary is completely rogue and cannot be brought back to American standards until all leftists are removed from office.
- NY AG COULD FACE DOJ CHARGES, SO SHE OPENS NEW TRUMP INVESTIGATION – NY Attorney General Letitia James, the George Soros diversity hire, has been referred to the DOJ for criminal prosecution for committing mortgage fraud. She has responded by opening up a new investigation against President Trump over alleged “Insider Trading” charges related to his 90-day tariff pause tweet.
President Trump has demanded the anti-American activist DA resign, writing on Truth Social, “Letitia James, a totally corrupt politician, should resign from her position as New York State Attorney General, IMMEDIATELY. Everyone is trying to MAKE NEW YORK GREAT AGAIN, and it can never be done with this wacky crook in office.”
- BIDEN TEAM COLLUDED WITH SMITH TO TARGET TRUMP – Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) and Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) claim newly uncovered emails prove the Biden administration was working in collusion with “Special Prosecutor” Jack Smith to “lawfare” Donald Trump.
According to the letter sent by the two Senators, “Overall, these newly disclosed emails show the extensive collaboration between and among select FBI agents from the Washington Field Office and prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney’s Office – Washington D.C. to plan, approve, and execute Arctic Frost. The emails also provide further support that ASAC Thibault played a central role in advancing its approval to a full field criminal investigation when other agents had concerns the supporting evidence only allowed for a preliminary investigation.”
“Lastly, the emails illustrate the Biden White House’s personal involvement in providing President Trump and former Vice President Pence’s phones to the FBI at their request when neither of them was a subject of the investigation at that point in time.”
- LEFTIST VIOLENCE
- EL SALVADORAN GANG BANGER BECOMES DEMOCRATS’ NEW SAINT – Kilmar Abrego Garcia is an illegal alien from El Salvador who was arrested by ICE and deported to El Salvador, where his home country chose to put him in their MS-13 Gang Prison. The DNC criminal media spread the lie he was transported by the U.S. to this MS-13 Gang prison, when in fact, that was an independent decision made by El Salvador.
Despite having a tattoo on his hand that says MS-13, the Democrats are convinced rescuing him from justice is the most important cause of the day. Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) visited with the gang banger, and more Democrats, Senators and Representatives, are now making the new hajj to their new Mecca, the MS-13 Gang prison.
Perhaps the biggest crime committed here was by the DNC criminal press, who continue to write stories referring to the illegal alien gang banger as a “Maryland man” or a “Maryland father” in a direct effort to incite violence against Trump-supporting Americans. It remains to be seen when any Republican AG will dare begin to charge the criminal press for its continued terrorist assaults on the American public using deliberate misinformation, lies, to do so.
- BLACK TEEN SLAYS WHITE TEEN AND GETS NEW HOUSE, CAR FOR IT – 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony stabbed Austin Metcalf in the heart, killing him. Metcalf was also 17. He died in his identical twin brother’s arms, Hunter Metcalf. The conflict arose when Austin and Hunter pressured Anthony to leave their school’s tent at a Texas track meet among multiple schools.

- PA GOVERNOR’S MANSION SET ABLAZE BY HAMAS-SUPPORTING “AMERICAN” – In what has turned out to be anti-Americanist on anti-Americanist violence, 38-year-old Cody Balmer stands accused of setting the Pennsylvania Governor’s mansion on fire. That mansion is occupied by Democrat Insurrectionist Josh Shapiro, the current governor of Pennsylvania.
Balmer executed the attack, allegedly out of protest of the treatment of Hamas by Israel, with U.S. support. Shapiro specifically may have been targeted because he is Jewish. While Shapiro had little to say about the ongoing Tesla terror attacks by his fellow insurrectionists, he found moral clarity when his people came for him, so to speak.

- UKRAINE CEASEFIRE STILL ELUDES TRUMP – President Donald Trump keeps hinting a ceasefire deal may come any day, but negotiations so far have failed to cement a deal. The latest offer by the U.S. to grant Russia the Crimea has met with EU disapproval. A rare earth minerals deal is still being worked on, but is far from complete. Trump might be losing patience with Putin, with VP JD Vance hinting Putin might be running out of time.
A recent major attack by Russia, the biggest in months, caused Trump to declare, “I am not happy with the Russian strikes on KYIV. Not necessary, and very bad timing. Vladimir, STOP! 5,000 soldiers a week are dying. Let’s get the Peace Deal DONE!”
- IRAN’S NUKE PROGRAM COULD SOON BE BOMBED, OR MONITORED – The showdown with Iran over its alleged efforts to develop a nuclear bomb has been coming to a head, with a new report suggesting the Israelis are prepared to destroy Iran’s nuclear facilities with or without the U.S.’s permission. Potentials for negotiations seem promising as Iran has even hinted it would welcome monitors back in, but skeptics believe they are stalling while they complete their work, to build a nuclear bomb.
- U.S. MOVES WARSHIPS TO TAIWAN STRAIT – As China hinted an invasion of Taiwan may happen at any moment, Trump decided to send the nation a message by ordering an Arleigh-Burke class missile destroyer to go through the Taiwan strait, which it did, unmolested.
Taiwan’s current government is doubling down on its U.S. bet, announcing $10 billion more in investments, and promises to purchase U.S. energy, as both a way to offset Trump tariffs and curry further favor and connection with the U.S., their biggest protector against Chinese aggression.

- UK’S WOKE POLICIES LEADING TO “MISINFORMATION,” GOVERNMENT UNWITTINGLY ADMITS – The United Kingdom’s Parliamentary Home Affairs Committee issued a report that cited the policy of concealing the ethnicity of a suspect is what led to race riots. Those race riots happened after “false claims” spread online that an illegal immigrant stabbed three children to death. These “rumors” spread because the police failed to offer an identification to begin with.
The report stated the policy “created an information vacuum that allowed disinformation to flourish.” The report unwittingly told on its own impractical policies derived from “Woke” presuppositions; Concealing truth, even denying it, for social justice reasons, is not only ok, but it’s also required.
- SUICIDE IS BEING PUSHED ON AILING CANADIANS? – Dr. Ramona Coelho, a committee member on Ontario’s MAiD Death Review Committee, is accusing doctors of pushing patients aggressively towards suicide in increasingly questionable situations. She accused the institution itself of “rushing to death” through quick approvals of Canada’s euthanasia program, called MAiD (Medical Aid in Dying).
She said, “These cases highlight how vulnerable individuals, having lost the capacity to consent, may be coerced or unduly influenced to die – whether through financial abuse, caregiver burnout, or other pressures – reminding us that the stakes are high – life and death, no less.”
- ADULTS ARE FLEEING THE CHILD-RAISING RACE ALTOGETHER – A new study from Michigan State University claims that the percentage of “childless adults” who say they are committed to never having children has risen from 14% in 2002 to 29% in 2022. The percentage of childless adults who said they plan on having children in the future fell in that same time gap from 79% to 56%.
- UAE LOOKING TO AI TO WRITE ITS LAWS – The UAE is looking to utilize Artificial intelligence to develop and monitor laws in the country. The announcement of this new legislative process was made by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai.
Mohammed said of the new initiative, “The new system will allow us to track the daily impact of laws on our people and economy using large-scale data, and it will regularly suggest updates to our legislation. The system will be linked to leading global research centres to follow the best international policies and legislative practices, adapting them to suit the UAE’s unique circumstances.
This new legislative system, powered by artificial intelligence, will change how we create laws, making the process faster and more precise. It will ensure that our legislative framework stands out, aligning our laws with the best global practices while staying true to the unique path of our rapid development.”

- WHO MOVES MEMBERS TOWARDS “PANDEMIC TREATY” – After the U.S. left the World Health Organization (WHO) for reasons that were mostly related to how the WHO handled the Covid-19 plandemic, the organization is now leading its remaining member states down a path that ends with a “pandemic treaty.”
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus claimed the agreement signaled to the world that “in our divided world, nations can still work together to find common ground and a shared response.”
- TRUMP LOOKS TO MRNA TO SOLVE AVIAN FLU OUTBREAK – A new mRNA vaccine has just been fast-tracked by President Donald Trump that promises to tackle the current avian flu outbreak among American chickens that has led to egg price spiking which are only now beginning to come down. The vaccine is called ARCT-2304, developed by Arcturus Therapeutics.
- ALLEGED DEEP STATER FEARED TO HAVE DELETED KEY CDC COVID-19 DATA – Dr. Tom Shimabukuro, the former director of the CDC’s Immunization Safety Office under Joe Biden, appears to have allegedly deleted government data. The data feared lost is Covid-19 vaccine results data that will show the true depth, breadth, and severity of side effects from the mandated Covid-19 vaccines.
Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, and acting HHS watchdog Juliet Hodgkins, to ensure criminal investigative action was taken on this matter. He wrote, “HHS officials recently informed me that Dr. Shimabukuro’s records remain lost and, potentially, removed from HHS’s email system altogether. Dr. Shimabukuro’s potential mishandling of his official records is highly concerning… Any attempt to obstruct or interfere with my investigatory efforts would be grounds for contempt of Congress.”
