Big Win for Trump as Appeals Court Blocks Liberal Judges from Releasing Migrants

President Donald Trump’s lawyers scored big on Friday when a Texas-based appeals court allowed officials to hold arrested migrants in detention so their migration cases can be quickly decided.

“ENORMOUS Immigration win for President Trump,” said Eric Wessen, the Solicitor General in Iowa’s Attorney General’s Office. He added:

The Fifth Circuit, the first federal court to address President Trump’s expedited removal efforts, sides with the administration. Illegal aliens may be detained and removed!

The 2:1 decision “is a big deal,” said Ilya Shapiro, a lawyer at the Manhattan Institute.

“After reviewing carefully the relevant provisions and structure of the Immigration and Naturalization Act, the statutory history, and Congressional intent, we conclude that the government’s position is correct,” the three-judge court decided.

Unseen Footage Puts Benghazi Attack Suspect at Scene of Crime That Killed 4 Americans at US Embassy

Damning footage not seen outside a courtroom puts alleged killer and conspirator Zubayar Al-Bakoush at the scene of the crime at the US embassy compound in Benghazi, Libya the day militants attacked the facility and killed four Americans.

The footage, used as evidence in a related trial and obtained by The Post after Bakoush was brought to the US to face charges, shows him dressed in camouflage, standing outside the gate of the compound on Sept. 11, 2012 as a group of about 20 armed men breach the gate of the US Mission in Benghazi.

The feds charged him with murder and terror charges in an indictment unsealed Friday after extraditing him and bringing him to the US.

The newly unsealed indictment states that Bakoush, 58, and about 20 armed men violently breached the main gate of the US Mission at Benghazi, and that Bakoush entered the facility, conducted surveillance, and tried to get into staff vehicles.

Conspirators had AK-47 rifles and rocket-propelled grenades. US Ambassador Chris Stevens, US security contractors Tyrone Woods, Glen Doherty, and IT officer Sean Smith were killed in the attacks.

Korean War Vet to Get Medal of Honor for Longest Dogfight in US Military History

Naval aviator Capt. Royce Williams, 100, is set to be awarded the Medal of Honor for his 1952 actions during the Korean War, Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., announced on Wednesday.

Issa has played a significant role in Williams’ recognition, introducing the “Valor Has No Expiration Act” in 2025 to extend and expand upon the 1996 National Defense Authorization Act. Introduced last June, the act was instrumental in highlighting Williams’ Korean War record.

According to Issa’s press release, the NDAA waived the five-year limitation for Medal of Honor consideration — but only for actions occurring between 1940 and 1990 and only for classified “intelligence activities.”

The Valor Has No Expiration Act seeks to remove such arbitrary timelines and expand the criteria to include classified acts or those withheld from the public record.

In 2023, Williams received the Navy Cross — an upgrade from the Silver Star Medal he previously received on May 7, 1953. (Read more from “Korean War Vet to Get Medal of Honor for Longest Dogfight in US Military History” HERE)

Michael Jackson ‘Was a Pedophile Who Could Abuse Children Almost With Impunity,’ Claims Prosecutor Who Tried King of Pop

A California prosecutor, who tried Michael Jackson for molesting a child cancer survivor, remains adamant the King Of Pop was a pedophile.

The former senior deputy district attorney for Santa Barbara appears on camera in a new TV show explaining why he felt Jackson should have served twenty years for abusing ex child bed companion Gavin Arvizo in the 2005 trial.

Adamant Ron Zonen, one of the lead prosecutors for Santa Barbara County, is convinced MJ was a molester and that Arvizo had told the truth.

Zonen doubled down to Channel 4’s upcoming show The Trial on his assertion that the Thriller star “was a pedophile who could abuse children almost with impunity.”

In court Jackson was cleared of 14 charges connected to abuse of Arvizo, but Zonen revealed his belief that the musician had abused before 2003 which was not included in their charge list.

Disturbing Photo Shows Epstein, Pals Sitting Unfazed as Bikini Woman Crawls Under Table by Naked Baby Picture

Jeffrey Epstein and two other men act like it’s business as usual, seated at a table while a woman in a bikini crawls at their feet in a disturbing photo among the latest documents released by the U.S. Department of Justice.

It’s unclear who the woman is — she’s facing the wall in a white bikini below the table with her butt sticking out. . .

Also in the troubling snap is a creepy painting of a naked baby in a sink hanging on the wall.

Both the woman’s rear and the naked baby’s genitalia were blackened out before being publicly released. . .

It’s unknown where there photo was taken, but a bespectacled Epstein is sporting a white T-shirt and black sweat pants embroidered with the initials “LSJ,” likely referring to his private island of Little Saint James, also known as “Pedo Island.” (Read more from “Disturbing Photo Shows Epstein, Pals Sitting Unfazed as Bikini Woman Crawls Under Table by Naked Baby Picture” HERE)

New Study Looks at How Covid Vaccine Affected Fertility, Miscarriage During Pandemic

. . .After a brief baby bump early in the COVID-19 pandemic, birth rates in the US and other wealthy countries dropped as the public health emergency eased.

That sudden decline sparked online speculation that the rollout of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines could have played a role, with critics suggesting the shots may have hurt fertility or made it harder to carry a pregnancy to term.

To test those claims, researchers in Sweden — a nation that also saw births fall later in the pandemic — decided to dig into the data.

They analyzed health information from nearly 60,000 women ages 18 to 45 living in Region Jönköping County in southern Sweden.

About 75% of the women were vaccinated against COVID-19 between 2021 and 2024, and 97% of those shots were mRNA vaccines.

When the researchers compared childbirth rates between vaccinated and unvaccinated women, they found no statistically significant difference between the two groups. (Read more from “New Study Looks at How Covid Vaccine Affected Fertility, Miscarriage During Pandemic” HERE)

Jeffrey Epstein Planned to See ‘All the Trump Boys’ in 2016 as Bombshell Emails Contradict President’s Timeline of Duo’s Friendship

Jeffrey Epstein had plans to visit “all the Trump boys” in 2016 — more than a decade after Donald Trump claimed their friendship ended.

The convicted s– offender, who died behind bars in 2019, sent an email about the visit to biotech venture capitalist Boris Nikolic in 2016. The message was included in the latest batch of files released by the Department of Justice related to the Epstein investigation.

“When are you back in NYC?” Nikolic wrote in an email dated Sunday, December 26, 2016, at 8:13 p.m.

“4th i’m in palm with all the trump boys. . = fun,” Epstein wrote in response only two minutes later.

Nikolic, who was named “successor executor” by Epstein in his will just two days before his death, replied, “Have fun!! Hope to see you on the 4th. I leave for SF on the 5th.” (Read more from “Jeffrey Epstein Planned to See ‘All the Trump Boys’ in 2016 as Bombshell Emails Contradict President’s Timeline of Duo’s Friendship” HERE)

Zelensky Says U.S. Pushing for End to Ukraine War by June

The United States wants Ukraine and Russia to end their nearly four-year war by June, and has offered to host talks between the two sides in Florida next week, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said.

US-led efforts to end Europe’s deadliest conflict since World War II have stepped up a gear in recent weeks, but Moscow and Kyiv remain at odds over the key issue of territory.

Russia, which occupies around 20 percent of its neighbour, is pushing for full control of Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region as part of any deal and has threatened to take it by force if talks fail.

But Ukraine says ceding ground will embolden Moscow and so it will not sign an agreement that fails to deter Russia from invading again.

“The United States has proposed for the first time that the two negotiating teams — Ukraine and Russia — meet in the United States, probably in Miami, in a week’s time,” Zelensky told reporters in comments made public early Saturday.

Newly Released Epstein Files Reveal Further Ties to Israel

By Michael Arria. The release of more than 3 million new files connected to the late Jeffrey Epstein reveals further connections between the convicted sex criminal and the state of Israel.

Ehud Barak, the former Israeli prime minister, is mentioned numerous times in the files, with him and his wife seemingly maintaining a close relationship with the financier long after he plead guilty of sex crimes in 2008.

In a September 2016 email sent amid the presidential race, Barak informs Epstein that Democratic nominee Hilary Clinton was set to be interviewed by Israel’s Channel-2 and wonders if Epstein could inquire whether eventual President Donald Trump would have interest in being interviewed by rival station, Channel-10.

Barak tells Epstein that the Trump interview would attract a “huge percentage of Israelis and most U.S. citizens in Israel.”

The Department of Justice also released audio of a February 2013 conversation between the two men, in which Epstein tells Barak to “check out” the controversial analytics company Palantir.

Mapping Epstein’s Israel Connections: What the Documents Show

By The Palestine Chronicle. The Epstein files deepen scrutiny of his long-standing ties to Israeli political power, particularly through repeated contact with former Prime Minister Ehud Barak.

Allegations of Israeli intelligence links appear in declassified FBI records, showing such claims were treated as a formal counter-intelligence concern, not fringe speculation.

Epstein retained elite access and protection long after his 2008 conviction, raising unresolved questions about impunity and institutional shielding.

Israel emerges in the files as a strategic node in Epstein’s global influence network, connecting US politics, Gulf elites, and international diplomacy.

Survivors say the document release still prioritizes power over accountability, exposing victims while leaving many enablers unnamed or legally untouched. (Read more from “Mapping Epstein’s Israel Connections: What the Documents Show” HERE)

Trump Goes After ‘Moron’ Massie at National Prayer Breakfast

President Trump referred to Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) as a “moron” at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington on Thursday.

“He’s an automatic no. No matter what,” Trump said, referencing Massie’s opposition to past legislation pushed by the president and other Republicans.

“If we did welfare reform, if we did the greatest thing in the history for religion, no matter what we did, no matter how good it is,” he continued. “No matter what we do, this moron, no matter what it is.”

“We’ll put [the top five things] in one bill,” he said. “We’ll get a 100 percent vote, except for this guy named Thomas Massie. There’s something wrong with him. We call him Rand Paul Jr.”

GOP Sen. Rand Paul (Ky.) also frequently opposes legislation bolstered by Republicans. (Read more from “Trump Goes After ‘Moron’ Massie at National Prayer Breakfast” HERE)
