Pope Leo XIV says he is uninterested in debating with Trump
Pope Leo XIV says he regrets that his statements have been interpreted as a response to criticism from Donald Trump – and emphasizes his disinterest in debating with the US president. He further says that the statement he made on Thursday that “tyrants” are destroying the world – which American media in particular interpreted as a reference to Trump – had been written long before Trump commented on the Pope’s message of peace.
The Dignity Act Is a Trojan Horse for Mass Amnesty
When anyone in Congress introduces immigration “reform” legislation and claims that it’s “bipartisan,” you can safely bet that it’s an amnesty bill. And that is precisely what we have in the “Dignity for Immigrants while Guarding our Nation to Ignite and Deliver the American Dream Act,” (the DIGNIDAD or Dignity Act) introduced by Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar of Florida. Yep, Salazar is a Republican, as are 19 of the bill’s 39 co-sponsors. But the “R” next to their names belies the fact that this legislation betrays everything that conservative voters believe when it comes to border security and immigration enforcement.
New Measurement Deepens the Mystery of “Hubble Tension,” Suggesting Physics We Don’t Understand
For decades, astronomers have been trying to determine the rate of expansion of the universe. Now, one of the most precise measurements yet has not only failed to resolve that cosmic mystery, but made it even harder to explain. An international team of researchers has produced a new, high-precision measurement of the Universe’s expansion rate, known as the Hubble constant. This result does not close the long-standing gap between competing estimates. Instead, it reinforces a growing scientific puzzle, which could point to gaps in our understanding of the cosmos. The findings, published in Astronomy & Astrophysics, place the expansion rate at about 45.7 miles (73km) per second for every 3.26 million light-years. The uncertainty is just over 1%, making it one of the tightest constraints ever achieved. “This disagreement, known as the ‘Hubble tension,’ has persisted for a decade, and it exceeds the threshold for a statistical fluctuation and has withstood extensive scrutiny of both observational data and analysis techniques,”
Report: Putin tests ammunition on humans
Russia is testing artillery shells and drugs on humans, reports the independent Russian outlet Project. “Healthy military volunteers” have reportedly been recruited for the tests for several years. Humans are being used to “evaluate the destructive effect of new types of weapons,” reports Project about the Russian State Research and Testing Institute of Military Medicine, which is part of the Ministry of Defense. In 2018, the institute opened a center with 100 beds, an intensive care unit and a surgical ward, The human guinea pigs are said to have suffered a number of problems – sometimes critical – including problems with blood pressure, the vascular and nervous systems, and sensory and cognitive functions.
US Prepares To Board Iran-Linked Ships Globally Following Iranian Gunboat Attack On Tanker In Hormuz
According to the latest headlines there was a second tanker incident: a Container ship reportedly hit by ‘unknown projectile’ in second incident while other traffic stalls. Meanwhile on Saturday the Pentagon is signaling yet another major escalation in the latest effort to reassert US leverage over the Hormuz crisis. It is preparing to expand the fight not just to the Hormuz/Persian Gulf regions, but broadly to the high seas. “The U.S. military is preparing in coming days to board Iran-linked oil tankers and seize commercial ships in international waters, according to U.S. officials,
Trump Says First Releases Of UFO Documents Will Begin ‘Very, Very Soon’
“As you remember, I recently directed the Secretary of War … to begin releasing government files relating to UFOs and unexplained aerial phenomena,” Trump told an audience in Phoenix, Arizona. “I’m pleased to report today … that this process is well underway and we’ve found many very interesting documents, I must say. And, the first releases will begin very, very soon.” Trump made the remarks at an event with Turning Point Action, an affiliate of Turning Point USA. The president ordered government agencies to release information about UFOs and related phenomena in a Feb. 19 Truth Social post. Tremendous interest in the files prompted Trump to issue the directive to release files related to alien and extraterrestrial life, he said.
White House Working With FBI To Probe Cases Of Missing Scientists
The Trump administration confirmed on April 17 that it was working with the FBI to investigate the mysterious deaths and disappearances of ten U.S. scientists and government employees who had access to nuclear or aerospace material. “In light of the recent and legitimate questions about these troubling cases, and President [Donald] Trump’s commitment to the truth, the White House is actively working with all relevant agencies and the FBI to holistically review all of the cases together and identify any potential commonalities that may exist,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt wrote in a post on X Friday afternoon.
“Depraved Evil”: Gay Couple Mocks Baby’s Cry For ‘Mama’ In Viral Surrogacy Video
Two gay men in Nashville recorded themselves taunting the baby they obtained through surrogacy as he cried desperately for his mother. The now viral clip has ignited fury across X. (watch)
Senate Bill Wants Commercial Reactors On Federal Land
Senators Mike Lee (R-UT) and Dave McCormick (R-PA) introduced the Nuclear Energy Innovation and Deployment Act (NEIDA) on April 14th, presenting what could be one of the most significant regulatory shifts for U.S. nuclear power in decades. The legislation would expand the DOE’s authority to license and regulate commercial reactors and fuel-cycle facilities when sited on federal land or built for federal purposes, including electricity supplied to federal power marketing agencies. The United States should lead the nuclear energy renaissance, not watch it from the sidelines.
Ilhan Omar: Hey, Um, As It Turns Out, I’m Not Actually A Multimillionaire After All
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu)
has for some time now been the poster child not only for the legion of ungrateful, America-hating migrants, but for members of the House of Representatives who have become multimillionaires on a $174,000 annual salary. Omar is trying to make an end run around the whole investigation, and lessen the suspicion that she is a totally corrupt grifter, by claiming that the whole thing was a mistake. She and her hubby Tim Mynett don’t have $30 million after all. It was all just an “accounting error,” you see. Man, that’s one massive accounting error. James Comer should find the error in itself worth looking into. When one’s own leftist political allies open an investigation on you, you’re either guilty as sin, beyond all denial and stonewalling, or they’re looking for a way to jettison you without backlash or embarrassment. Either way, not a good look for the patriotic servant of the people from Mogadishu, Minnesota.
NY State Loses $73 Million In Federal Highway Funding Over Failed CDL Revocations
U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced yesterday that the state failed to revoke “illegally issued nondomiciled commercial learner’s permits and commercial driver’s licenses.” According to a December press release from the U.S. Dept. of Transportation, a Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA) nationwide audit of non-domiciled commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs) uncovered a shocking 53 percent failure rate in the records sampled, indicating serious problems in New York’s CDL program. Among the failures documented were New York DMV systems defaulting to issuing eight-year licenses to foreign drivers for non-REAL ID licenses, more than half of the licenses reviewed were issued illegally, it isn’t just a mistake—it is a dereliction of duty by state leadership. Gov. Hochul must immediately revoke these illegally issued licenses.”
Tennessee Makes History: State Bans “West Bank,” Mandates “Judea and Samaria” in Official Documents
The word “West Bank” will no longer appear in Tennessee state documents. In a move that has sent shockwaves through both pro-Israel circles and Arab-American communities, the Tennessee General Assembly passed House Bill 1446 — the Recognizing Judea and Samaria Act — mandating that all state agencies, boards, and commissions replace the term “West Bank” with “Judea and Samaria” in all official communications. The bill now sits on Governor Bill Lee’s desk awaiting his signature, with the law set to take effect July 1, 2026.
Record US drought sparks worries about fires, water supply and food prices
Drought in the contiguous United States has reached record levels for this time of year, weather data shows. Meteorologists said it’s a bad sign for the upcoming wildfire season, food prices and western water issues. More than 61% of the Lower 48 states is in moderate to exceptional drought — including 97% of the Southeast and two-thirds of the West — according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. It’s the highest levels for this time of year since the drought monitor began in 2000. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s comprehensive Palmer Drought Severity Index not only hit its highest level for March since records started in 1895, but last month was the third-driest month recorded regardless of time of year. It trailed only the famed Dust Bowl months of July and August 1934.
Trump Greenlights Russian Oil to Ease Strain on Global Markets After War with Iran
The Trump administration has authorized a 30-day emergency waiver allowing the maritime purchase of Russian oil, reversing a hardline stance in an effort to stabilize skyrocketing global energy prices. The Treasury Department announced Friday that the license for crude and petroleum products will remain in effect until May 16, 2026, responding to intense pressure from international partners struggling with the fallout of the war with Iran.
We Have Several Signs Trump Admin Planning Cuba As Military Target
The U.S. military may be ramping up for a potential Cuba operation, multiple reports suggest.
“BLKCAT6, a U.S. Navy MQ-4C ‘Triton’ High-Altitude Surveillance Drone flew an over 12-hour mission yesterday off the coast of Cuba, flying rounds over the Gulf of America and Northern Caribbean, taking a particularly close look at both Havana and the area near Guantanamo Bay, before returning to Naval Air Station Jacksonville in Florida,”
Dangerous severe storms fire off strong tornadoes, ‘monster’ hail targeting 50M+ across 1,500 miles
Dangerous severe weather unfolded from Wisconsin to Texas on Friday evening. More than 50 million people in the Midwest and the Plains were in the path of storms that have already generated strong tornadoes, “monster” hail, and hurricane-force wind gusts. Storm damage was reported in several cities following the severe weather.
Hallet praises vaccines in her UK Covid Inquiry statement
Unsurprisingly, Baroness Heather Hallett’s statement on the UK Covid Inquiry Module 4 praises the success of vaccine research and rollout. In the following, the People’s Vaccine Inquiry criticizes Baroness Hallett’s conclusions, citing concerns about vaccine safety, conflicts of interest, and the lack of support for those injured by vaccines.
US planning to seize Iran-linked ships in coming days, WSJ says – report
The report noted that these actions would take place in international waters, potentially outside of the Middle East. The US “will actively pursue any Iranian-flagged vessel or any vessel attempting to provide material support to Iran,” US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Dan Caine said. “This includes dark fleet vessels carrying Iranian oil.”
Selective Outrage: When Hezbollah Attacks
The latest escalation did not begin with Israel; it was Hezbollah. Its operational tactics are to embed military infrastructure in densely populated neighborhoods. With its military targets in homes, hospitals, and schools, efforts to neutralize them carry the possibility of harming civilians, a strategy designed to constrain Israel’s responses and generate international backlash.
Carville Tells Democrats: Keep QUIET on Your Plan to Seize Permanent Power
As soon as Democrats “can figure out a way to eliminate elections, they will do it,” warned Rush Limbaugh in 2020. Now, six years later, political strategist James Carville (aka “Serpent Head”) is prescribing a plan for permanent Democrat Party power. And his advice to fellow Democrats is simple: “Don’t run on it. Don’t talk about it. Just do it.”
Notes On Such a Time as This
If Europe is too afraid of its rapidly growing Muslim population to act in defense of its own interests–and that of the majority of its citizens–regarding the world’s biggest sponsor of terror, Iran, they’re already defeated. Have they willingly, treasonously, and knowingly surrendered, or are they tragically unaware of their impending demise. My educated guess is the former.
“Mamdani Mart” Exposes the Inefficiency of Socialism in One Chart
Mamdani’s proposed city-owned grocery store in Harlem would require $30 million in taxpayer funding, underscoring a familiar pattern: state-directed supermarkets often fail to achieve cost discipline, operational efficiency, and scale seen in private chains. This has played out time and again in the U.S., as unhinged left-wingers experimented with socialism. The end result is Cuba.
Soap Company Celebrates Transgenderism, Condemns Conservative Push to Protect Children
Dr. Bronner’s, a company that boasts of organic products and makes “Magic Soap,” believes people can magically switch genders, and it has a team of “trans and nonbinary employees” dedicated to making “funding decisions.” The company also directed readers to eight LGBT advocacy organizations, including organizations that push for gender procedures on children.
