Leftists Are Filing Free Speech Lawsuits over Fallout from Celebrating Charlie Kirk Assassination
Free speech lawsuits have been filed by multiple leftists fired from their jobs after revealing their pro-assassin sentiments in the aftermath of Turning Point USA founder and conservative icon Charlie Kirk’s horrific assassination.

Ellison, GOP senators clash in fiery US Senate hearing: ‘You ought to be in jail!’
One of the most intense exchanges came when Sen. Josh Hawley pressed Attorney General Keith Ellison over his past interactions with individuals connected to the Feeding Our Future scandal. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., accused Ellison of encouraging “trained activists to put themselves in harm’s way to impede law enforcement” and pressed him about anti-ICE activists using Signal chats to coordinate actions during federal immigration operations. Ellison told the panel he was aware the chats “exist, but this is First Amendment activity.” “Two people are dead because you encouraged them to put themselves in harm’s way,” Johnson said. “A tragedy was going to happen and you encouraged it, and you ought to feel damn guilty about it.” The exchange grew increasingly personal. “Don’t call me pal,” Ellison said at one point after Hawley addressed him. “I should call you prisoner because you ought to be in jail,” Hawley responded. “Well, see what you can do about it,” Ellison shot back.

“We believe Ms. Allen’s recent behavior at the Cities Church in St. Paul for which she was arrested and charged makes her unsuitable for the position she currently holds,” Democracy Restored wrote. According to its website, Democracy Restored works to “expose the actions of people, including unelected bureaucrats in our government, that may be influencing policy against the wishes the American people have expressed through their elected representatives.”
Possible “frost quake” causes soil buckling in Metro Detroit
CBS News Detroit received multiple reports of a slight shake, and even some floor damage, due to a potential cryoseism, commonly known as a “frost quake.” Our news crew on the scene was able to see the buckled tile floor inside a 7-Eleven store. A cryoseism occurs when water in the ground freezes and expands. Under specific conditions, this expansion puts significant stress on the surrounding soil and rock until it suddenly fractures, sometimes creating a loud boom and ground tremors.

Trump revokes Obama-era climate finding on greenhouse gas risks
The Trump administration on Thursday revoked a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for US action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, the most aggressive move by the Republican president to roll back climate regulations.

Switzerland to hold referendum on capping the population at 10 million
The Swiss will once again hold a referendum, this time on capping the population at 10 million. Switzerland currently has a population of just over 9.1 million. But the largest party in parliament, the right-wing populist Swiss People’s Party (SVP), does not want to see the population grow further and has collected enough signatures to push through a referendum in June. To keep the population down, the proposal would introduce strict restrictions on asylum seekers and residence permits once the population exceeds 9.5 million.

Kushner at center of whistleblower complaint against Tulsi Gabbard
A whistleblower complaint filed against Tulsi Gabbard, US Director of National Intelligence, has ignited significant controversy surrounding the handling of classified intelligence related to Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and close adviser. According to the Wall Street Journal, the complaint stems from an intercepted conversation between two foreign nationals discussing Kushner, which was collected by a foreign intelligence service and passed to the US National Security Agency (NSA). The intelligence mentions Kushner’s influence in US foreign policy, particularly regarding Iran. The conversation, which took place last year, included speculation about Kushner’s role in Middle East peace talks and issues concerning Iran, but the claims were largely unsubstantiated, with US officials from the Trump administration dismissing them as false.

Iran rushes to protect Natanz, its most crucial nuclear site, from potential US strike
Tehran may have used the delay in the US’s potential strike to make the beneath-mountain facility nearly untouchable. The nuclear facility in question is a large tunnel complex at Kuh-e Kolang Gaz La, aka Pickaxe Mountain. It is near a series of Natanz nuclear facilities that were the center of the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program until the 12-day war between Israel and Iran last June.

Trump Gives Iran a Deadline for War That Roughly Corresponds with The End of Ramadan
One month. I think Trump hopes military preparations the U.S. is making in the Middle East will convince Iran to make significant concessions. But the Iranians have repeatedly said they must be allowed to continue to enrich uranium & no negotiations regarding their ballistic missile program or their support for proxies in the region. No way a deal is going to happen. Either President Trump will pull the trigger, or Israelis will go in alone.
Biggest Housing Bubble in Entire History of The United States Is in The Process of Bursting
The housing bubble that burst during the Great Recession was enormous, but nothing compared to now. Two decades ago, the average US home price was about $140,000. Today, the average price is above $500,000. We’ve never seen anything close to a housing bubble of this magnitude. Unfortunately, what comes up must eventually come down.

If Dems Seize Power Again, a Purge Is Coming… Radical Leftists Now Threatening Law Enforcement Once They’re in Control
Acting more like poo-flinging monkeys in a zoo than congress members, rabid Dems on Capitol Hill attacked Border Patrol and ICE officials, telling them to resign and pray for a pardon from President Trump. Those thinly veiled threats of punitive lawfare against conservatives presage a planned vicious purge aimed at throwing Trump officials and supporters in prison once Democrats control gov’t again. It’ll be the final step in installing a Banana Republic in America.

Breaking Point: A Million Jobs Suddenly Disappear, Foreclosures Rise 32 Percent, and Some Americans Are Now Facing $1,000 Power Bills
Economic numbers federal DC bureaucrats feed us each month are fraudulent. It’s been that way a long time. Example: Employment numbers. Every month, they give us a headline number that looks pretty good, then later revise it much lower when nobody’s paying attention. But this latest stunt is astounding. Over a million U.S. jobs suddenly disappeared from the numbers, and they’d like us to believe it’s perfectly normal.
NYPD Surrenders to Sharia: 4th Annual World Hijab Day Farce Exposes One-Sided ‘Inclusion’
In New York City, NYPD hosted its 4th Annual World Hijab Day “celebration” at MUNA Islamic Center, turning taxpayer-funded police resources into a propaganda platform for Islamic veiling. Female officers tied on hijabs and gushing about “empowerment,” “dignity,” and “choice.” NYPD chaplains invoked the Hadith while balloons bobbed and photos were snapped for social media glory. This isn’t community outreach; it’s institutional submission.
AI Can Now Build Next Generation of Itself. What Does That Mean for The Future of Humanity?
AI is transforming every aspect of society. We’ve reached a point where AI can do most things better than humans, and AI technology continues to advance at an exponential rate – advancing so fast, we may soon lose control over it. The latest model OpenAI released “was instrumental in creating itself,” and it’s light years ahead of AI models released a couple of years ago.
