White House Celebrates ‘Star Wars’ May 4th Day by Trolling ‘Radical Left Lunatics’

The White House shared a Star Wars, May 4th Day image with an immigration message calling those who oppose the president’s policies “radical left lunatics” who are fighting to bring dangerous criminals back into the U.S.

The post also featured a bulked-up image of Trump holding a light saber and surrounded by U.S. flags and eagles.

“Happy May the 4th to all, including the Radical Left Lunatics who are fighting so hard to to bring Sith Lords, Murderers, Drug Lords, Dangerous Prisoners, & well known MS-13 Gang Members, back into our Galaxy. You’re not the Rebellion—you’re the Empire,” the message states.

It concludes, “May the 4th be with you.”

The second Trump presidency has featured many images geared to troll the left. On Saturday, for instance, Trump reposted an amusing AI-produced image of himself dressed as the Pope as Catholics begin the process of selecting a new leader.

Democrats Indicted Again in Expanding Voter-Fraud Case, Accused of Stealing and Forging Ballots and Registrations to Rig 2020 Election

Paterson, N.J., City Council President Alex Mendez faces new charges in a superseding indictment related to the May 2020 municipal election.

Alongside his wife, Yohanny Mendez, and campaign workers Omar Ledesma and Iris Rigo, Mendez is accused of orchestrating a scheme involving the theft and forgery of ballots and voter registrations to secure his council seat.

The indictment alleges that the group unlawfully collected and tampered with vote-by-mail ballots, including destroying ballots not cast for Mendez and submitting fraudulent ones in their place.

According to a press release from the Attorney General’s Office,

“The 10-count superseding indictment alleges that Mendez, who represents the Third Ward on the Paterson City Council, his wife Yohanny Mendez and campaign workers Omar Ledesma and Iris Rigo tried to deprive Paterson residents of a fair election. Alex Mendez was first indicted in 2021 for election-related offenses. Further investigation by OPIA resulted in additional charges filed by complaint in October 2023 against the co-defendants, as well as additional charges for Alex Mendez, all stemming from the May 2020 election.

[…]

Based on publicly filed documents and statements in court in this case, the OPIA investigation began after hundreds of mail-in ballots for the May 2020 Paterson election were found in a postal box in the neighboring municipality of Haledon, when all voting was being conducted via vote-by-mail because of COVID-19.

Members of the alleged conspiracy face several charges including Tampering with Public Records or Information (third degree), Falsifying or Tampering with Records (fourth degree), Forgery (third degree), and Election Fraud (second degree). Among the allegations, they are accused of submitting fictitious or fraudulent vote-by-mail registrations and ballots.

The superseding indictment contains a new charge of Theft (third degree) against the four defendants for allegedly taking other peoples’ ballots with the intent to deprive them of their vote. It also includes a new count of Receiving Stolen Property (third degree) for those four defendants, alleging they received ballots that they knew had been stolen.

It is further alleged that the defendants tried to cause one or more witnesses previously contacted by investigators to make additional, contradictory, and false statements – leading to the superseding indictment’s new charge of Witness Tampering (third degree).

The superseding indictment also charges an additional defendant, Ninoska Adames, a Paterson resident, with Hindering Apprehension or Prosecution (third degree) and Tampering with Public Records or Information (third degree). She allegedly falsified a voter certificate on a vote-by-mail ballot and gave false information to detectives with the intent to hinder the State’s investigation into the May 2020 election.

The charges are merely accusations and the defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty. Second-degree charges carry a sentence of five to 10 years in state prison and a fine of up to $150,000. Third-degree charges carry a sentence of three to five years in prison and a fine of up to $15,000. Fourth-degree offenses could lead to up to 18 months in state prison and a fine of up to $10,000.”

Trump Proposes Drastic Cuts to ‘Dysfunctional’ Section 8 Housing Program

President Donald Trump’s administration released a budget plan on Friday that proposed drastic cuts across the federal government, including slashing the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s discretionary funding by more than 40%.

The budget referred to the federal government’s current rental assistance program as “dysfunctional.” NPR reported that it essentially called to end the Housing Choice Voucher Program, also known as Section 8, noting that it would slash rental aid by roughly 40%.

According to the administration’s budget plan, the proposal aims to empower states to provide housing assistance “by transforming the current federal dysfunctional rental assistance programs into a state-based formula grant which would allow states to design their own rental assistance programs based on their unique needs and preferences.”

If adopted, the budget would place a two-year cap on rental assistance for able-bodied adults. It would also ensure that “a majority” of the funding went toward the elderly and disabled.

“A state-based formula program would also lead to significant terminations of federal regulations,” the budget continued. “In combination with efforts related to opening up federal lands, this model would incentivize states and the private sector to provide affordable housing.” (Read more from “Trump Proposes Drastic Cuts to ‘Dysfunctional’ Section 8 Housing Program” HERE)

Sanctuary California: Three Illegals Arrested for Allegedly Beating Man to Death in Gruesome Home Invasion

Three illegal aliens are accused of beating 47-year-old Aleksandre Modebadze in his own home as they burglarized him and left him for dead in the sanctuary jurisdiction of Los Angeles County, California.

Illegal aliens Paata Kochyashvili, 38 years old; Zaza Otarashvili, 46 years old; and Besiki Khutsishvili, 52 years old, all from Georgia, have been arrested and charged by the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) for the murder of Aleksandre Modebadze on April 26.

According to LAPD, the three illegal aliens broke into Modebadze’s home, tied him up, and beat him to death while burglarizing his residence.

The trio is also accused of shutting down Modebadze’s home surveillance cameras ahead of the gruesome murder. (Read more from “Sanctuary California: Three Illegals Arrested for Allegedly Beating Man to Death in Gruesome Home Invasion” HERE)

HUD Probes Whether Pronoun, Vaccine Police Discriminated Against Christians

Last month, Attorney General Pam Bondi convened the first meeting of the Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias in the federal government. The initiative follows on the heels of President Trump’s executive order signed in early February “to protect the religious freedoms of Americans and end the anti-Christian weaponization of government.”

Bondi noted a long line of abuses in the Biden administration.

“Biden’s Department of Justice abused and targeted Christians. Pro-life Christians were arrested and imprisoned for peacefully praying outside abortion clinics. The FBI spied on traditional Catholics in their parishes,” the attorney general said, noting President Joe Biden issued a proclamation celebrating Transgender Day of Visibility on Easter Sunday.

Acting to fulfill the president’s executive order, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is asking its employees, contractors, and subcontractors to provide information “regarding any HUD or individual policies, practices, or conduct involving anti-religious bias” during the Biden administration and to make recommendations on how to remedy acts of bias.

The Task Force will collect information and ideas from federal employees, including HUD staff, that have experienced anti-Christian bias or other forms of religious discrimination. The task force will then compile a report on its findings. (Read more from “HUD Probes Whether Pronoun, Vaccine Police Discriminated Against Christians” HERE)

Hegseth Orders Purge of Senior Commanders, Cutting 20% of Four-Star Generals and Admirals

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered the Pentagon to cut 20% of four-star generals and admirals.

The high number of senior generals and admirals has been a source of criticism among both analysts and President Donald Trump, who has portrayed it as a symptom of a bloated and inefficient military. On Monday, Hegseth announced the promised cut of four-star generals and admirals, detailing the move in a memo obtained by the Washington Examiner.

Trump Makes Move To Super-Charge Deportations Using Local Cops

The Trump administration is taking a major step to super-charge deportation efforts by deputizing law enforcement across the country to carry out immigration enforcement, a Department of Homeland Security memo exclusively reviewed by The Daily Wire reveals.

The memo lays out that DHS has signed 562 agreements with state and local law enforcement groups, taking advantage of a federal law that allows the agencies to enforce certain aspects of immigration law. While these sorts of agreements existed in the previous administration, the number of agreements signed since Trump took office is already a 316% increase from what was signed during four years of the Biden administration, the memo says.

The agreements could be one of the biggest keys to boosting deportation numbers, which members of the administration have reportedly grown frustrated with. With an estimated 18.6 million illegal aliens currently present in the United States and a judiciary that has continuously stonewalled the Trump administration’s attempts to deport illegal aliens, the federal government may otherwise struggle to remove a significant share of the illegal population without support from law enforcement partners.

Under the agreement, state and local law enforcement agencies are able to conduct immigration enforcement operations with ICE oversight, use federal immigration databases to identify the status of arrestees, and initiate ICE detainers to hold illegal aliens until ICE can gain custody of them, providing what could be a massive force multiplier in the Trump administration’s effort to deport at least one million illegal aliens per year.

Food Brands Freak Out After MAHA App Exposes Unhealthy Snacks

Big food brands are bellyaching over consumers’ use of food scanning apps to vet the healthiness of their products, according to a Sunday article in the Wall Street Journal (WSJ).

Zooming in on one app in particular, the French-founded Yuka, WSJ’s article delves into the growing phenomenon of health-conscious consumers using mobile apps to evaluate their food choices at the grocery store.

The article lays out how a number of massive food brands have had to respond to receiving low scores from apps like Yuka.

Multiple large food manufacturers, including iconic brands like Campbell’s and Chobani, have responded to consumer feedback from users of the apps, according to the WSJ.

Chobani removed dipotassium phosphate, an additive which Yuka says can increase health risks if over-consumed, from some of its oat milk products, WSJ reported.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves the use of dipotassium phosphate — a synthetically-produced emulsifier that prevents clumping — in food products under the Generally Regarded As Safe (GRAS) standards. Some health experts, like biologist Gary Brecka, warn that the additive can disrupt calcium balance, bone health, and cardiovascular function.

Propublica Awarded Pulitzer After Blaming Georgia Woman’s Abortion Pill Death on Pro-Life Laws

If Americans needed further proof that the Pulitzer Prize has become nothing more than a glorified gold sticker given to the media’s biggest left-wing propagandists, the award’s 2025 winners are sure to convince them.

Included in the batch of this year’s winners is none other than ProPublica, a left-wing outlet reportedly bankrolled by leftist mega-donors and notorious for running interference for the Democrat Party and its allies. Several of the outlet’s writers won a Pulitzer last year for their dishonest smear campaign against Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

The Pulitzer given to ProPublica this year is equally, if not more, reprehensible.

According to the Associated Press, ProPublica’s Kavitha Surana, Lizzie Presser, Cassandra Jaramillo, and Stacy Kranitz were awarded for what the AP characterizes as “reporting on pregnant women who died after doctors delayed urgent care in states with strict abortion laws.” What the Associated Press declines to mention, however, is that ProPublica’s “reporting” was left-wing propaganda designed to vilify life-saving pro-life laws in states across the country.

As The Federalist’s Jordan Boyd reported, ProPublica ran a story by Surana less than two months before the 2024 general election of a Georgia woman named Amber Thurman and her unborn twins. While Thurman “died in 2022 after … suffer[ing] untreated complications from the dangerous drug regimen responsible for more than half of the nation’s abortions,” ProPublica “blam[ed] confusion about Georgia’s lifesaving abortion limits for [her] death.” (Read more from “Propublica Awarded Pulitzer After Blaming Georgia Woman’s Abortion Pill Death on Pro-Life Laws” HERE)

Trump Orders Feds to Reopen Alcatraz to House ‘America’s Most Ruthless and Violent’ Criminals

President Donald Trump is calling for the notorious prison and now historical landmark, Alcatraz, in San Francisco, California, to be rebuilt larger and reopened to house the country’s most ruthless and violent criminals.

Trump made the announcement in a Truth Social post on Sunday evening.

“REBUILD, AND OPEN ALCATRAZ!” the president said. “For too long, America has been plagued by vicious, violent, and repeat Criminal Offenders, the dregs of society, who will never contribute anything other than Misery and Suffering.

“When we were a more serious Nation, in times past, we did not hesitate to lock up the most dangerous criminals, and keep them far away from anyone they could harm,” Trump continued, adding that it’s supposed to be this way. “No longer will we tolerate these Serial Offenders who spread filth, bloodshed, and mayhem on our streets.”

Trump said he is directing the Bureau of Prisons, Department of Justice, FBI and Department of Homeland Security to reopen a “substantially enlarged and rebuilt” Alcatraz, “to house America’s most ruthless and violent offenders.” (Read more from “Trump Orders Feds to Reopen Alcatraz to House ‘America’s Most Ruthless and Violent’ Criminals” HERE)
