Anti-ICE activists target Minnesota church again on Easter Sunday– www.lifesitenews.com

Far-left activists shouted through bullhorns on Easter Sunday as part of their ongoing harassment campaign against a St. Paul, Minnesota, church that allegedly employs an Immigration and Customs Enforcement official as a minister. The Easter Sunday campaign concluded in one arrest, although a judge already threw out the charges.

Anti-ICE protesters have targeted Cities Church in the Twin Cities since January, when a mob, joined by former CNN personality Don Lemon, disrupted the church worship service at the Baptist church. The activists disrupted the service because they alleged an assistant pastor is also a local ICE official who is overseeing efforts to remove violent illegal immigrants from the area.

Mayor Orders Removal Of Iryna Zarutska Mural Because It Is “Divisive”– www.louderwithcrowder.com

The left won’t hesitate to bend over backwards for a man who was killed after he resisted arrest and took enough fentanyl to kill a horse. You would expect, at the very least, that they would honor an innocent woman killed after obtaining refuge in this country as a result of the war in Ukraine. The problem with doing that, though, is that they would have to admit leftist “restorative justice” policies allowed a psycho with a painfully long rap sheet to enter back into society, where he then, subsequently, killed an innocent woman riding on the bus. So, rather than do the morally superior thing, the mayor of Providence has called to take down the mural honoring this victim, because he claims it is divisive.

This is a spectacular screw-up—and it implicates the The New York Times newsroom top to bottom. A The New York Times headline ignorantly called NATO the “North American Treaty Organization,” triggering widespread online ridicule and criticism of editorial standards.

The paper acknowledged the mistake and said a correction would appear in the next print edition.

ANTI-TERROR LAWS: Florida Passes Law to EXPEL Student Supporters of Terrorist Groups– gellerreport.com

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a measure into law Monday that gives him along with other Florida leaders the ability to label groups as domestic or foreign terrorist organizations and expel state university students who support them.

The law, criticized by free speech advocates, allows a top official at the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to designate a group as a domestic or foreign terrorist organization, with the governor and three other members of the Florida Cabinet approving or rejecting the designation. Besides the governor, the Cabinet is made up of the state attorney general, the chief financial officer and the agriculture commissioner, all of whom are elected separately.

Gavin Newsom’s Minimum Wage Boondoggle Comes With a Big Side of Fail As Automation, Job Cuts Skyrocket – RedState– redstate.com

Who could have predicted that California’s massive minimum wage hike would have “negative consequences?” Well, RedState certainly did, along with everyone else who wasn’t a hard-left progressive.

The law, which mandated a $20 per hour minimum wage for fast food workers at franchises that have more than 60 locations in the Golden State, went into effect in April 2024. But wait, there’s more! The law created the Fast Food Council — and gave it the green light to impose further wage increases yearly until 2029, when the council’s authority runs out.

What are the effects of the law, AB 1228? UC Santa Cruz Economics Lecturer Stephen Owen decided to find out, and surprise, surprise:

“Based on what we’ve found, I think this legislation is a classic case of ‘no good deed goes unpunished,’” Owen said. “There are unintended consequences and knock-on effects, and overall, I think the results have definitely not been as positive as policymakers had been expecting.”

Turns out the governor Democrats want to model the midterms after is the LEAST POPULAR governor of the 21st century– www.louderwithcrowder.com

Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger was the moderate democrat who was going to change the Democrat Party. She was such a moderate; not only was her being a moderate reported by the legacy media, but it was also fact-checked by independent fact-checkers. Her getting elected was a model for how Democrats are going to win the midterms by running as moderates. It’s why she gave the response to Trump’s State of the Union.

The rub is that, according to a recent Washington Post poll, she is the least popular Virginia governor of the 21st century. Because — and this is key — like most Democrats who claim to be moderate, it’s all malarky. As soon as she was sworn in, her true socialist colors shone through. And it would appear voters are having buyer’s remorse.

Dude. It’s been less than three months. Yet, here we are.

Like all “moderate” democrats before her, she is a lying liar who lies, and once getting elected, turned hard left. Boys are going back to the girls’ bathrooms and stealing their sports scholarships. A ton of taxes are on the table to make the middle class less affordable while giving elected officials a pay raise. And relevant to our current political comment, she turned Virginia into a sanctuary state by ending all cooperation with ICE. I believe that was the literal first thing she did.

Michigan Synagogue Attacker Acted Under the ‘Direction and Control’ of Hezbollah, Says DOJ – PJ Media– pjmedia.com

The 41-year-old Lebanese national who targeted the Temple Israel synagogue in West Bloomfield, Mich., on March 12 “acted under Hezbollah’s direction and control,” according to the Department of Justice.

Ayman Mohamad Ghazali drove his car into Michigan’s largest synagogue and opened fire on March 12. A security guard was injured by Ghazali’s car inside the synagogue, but otherwise, no one was hurt.

“This man acted under Hezbollah’s direction and control,” said Jerome Gorgon, Jr., the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan. “I’ve seen some odd attempts to explain away or even lessen this terrorist attack by claiming that he was an isolated lone wolf, but that is misleading,” said Gorgon.

Former Fox News host and populist podcaster Tucker Carlson criticized President Donald Trump for mocking Islam in an Easter Sunday post in which he threatened Iran’s infrastructure if there was no substantive move toward negotiations from Tehran.

Carlson said that the message was only acceptable “if you seek a religious war,” but that otherwise, “no decent person mocks other people’s religions” and the move would escalate tensions as opposed to defusing them.

Carlson’s Monday remarks came as Trump was continuing to get blowback for his Truth Social post.

Trying to juxtapose President Trump talking about the war with Iran with the setting of the White House Easter Egg Roll, ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel urged his viewers to imagine the new ayatollah laughing at the “lunatic” Trump while watching him stand next to a guy in a bunny suit. The only problem was that Kimmel did not mention the clip he played of Trump was about the U.S. military rescuing the downed airman in a daring operation that left Iran humiliated.

Kimmel introduced a clip of Trump by declaring, “This is a tradition that dates back to 1878, and what you are about to see—even though we did not have video back when Rutherford B. Hayes was running the show—I have to believe that this would rank among, if not at the top of, the most preposterous moments in White House Easter Egg Roll history.”

NPR “public editor” Kelly McBride usually investigates complaints from coverage from die-hard NPR fans – meaning laments that NPR hasn’t been sufficiently leftist. But on April 2, one of the three complaints she answered was from the “unwoke.”

The subject was the failed attempt to blow up a Michigan synagogue school by a man named Ayman Ghazali. NPR reporter Hadeel al-Shalchi went to the town in Lebanon where his family lived for a sympathetic story on the March 14  All Things Considered. McBride recounted:

In a column published on Substack, Batya Ungar-Sargon wrote on March 30: NPR’s headline read, “In a small Lebanese town, grief and fear follow the Michigan synagogue attack.” That’s right: NPR found the real victim of an attack on 140 Jewish American babies—and it’s the Hezbollah-infested town in Lebanon that raised a family of terrorists.

A left-wing agitator vandalized a federal building in Los Angeles on Saturday, spray-painting the words “kill your local ICE agent” during the “No Kings” protest.

Thousands of individuals marched throughout downtown Los Angeles in opposition to the Trump administration, with many specifically protesting immigration enforcement policies. Video shared by Fox News showed a masked individual using red spray paint to write the message on the wall, along with two bullseye symbols.
