Illegal Aliens Arrested in Fatal Jet Ski Hit-And-Run of Teenage Texas Air Force Recruit

/1 Comment/in , /by

A pair of suspects wanted in the hit-and-run jet ski death of a teenage Air Force recruit on a Texas lake have been arrested — and both are believed to be illegal immigrants.

Daikerlyn Alejandra Gonzalez Gonzalez and a man she allegedly fled from Grapevine Lake with were arrested Tuesday after a standoff with police at their Dallas-area home, according to Fox 4.

Gonzalez is suspected of fatally striking 18-year-old Ava Moore with a jet ski as she kayaked on the lake Sunday evening, and then fleeing from the scene in the man’s car as bystanders tried in vain to save the teen.

Photos of Gonzalez at the scene were distributed by police, who located her and the other suspect, who was not identified by police, Tuesday morning.

Officers from Dallas and Grapevine police were joined by agents from Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and used drones to peer into their hideouts’ windows before the pair finally surrendered.

DOJ: North Carolina Violated ‘Sacred Trust’ With Faulty Election Rolls

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against North Carolina and its elections board on Tuesday over its maintenance of voter rolls.

The Justice Department’s lawsuit says that the North Carolina State Board of Elections violated federal election law and risked the integrity of its voter rolls. Voters in the state were allowed to register without providing identification, such as a driver’s license, in violation of the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), according to the suit.

“Defendants have failed to maintain accurate lists in North Carolina’s computerized statewide voter registration in violation of Section 303(a)(5) of HAVA and the sacred trust that the people of the State of North Carolina have put in them to ensure the fairness and integrity of elections for Federal office in the state, necessitating this litigation,” the lawsuit says.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order in March directing the Justice Department to vigorously enforce federal election laws.

“Above all, elections must be honest and worthy of the public trust. That requires voting methods that produce a voter-verifiable paper record allowing voters to efficiently check their votes to protect against fraud or mistake. Election-integrity standards must be modified accordingly. It is the policy of my Administration to enforce Federal law and to protect the integrity of our election process,” the order states.

California Makes Rule Change for Girls’ Championship After Trump Threat

/0 Comments/in , /by

The organization governing California’s high-school track and field championship has changed its rules regarding qualifying for the upcoming meet after President Donald Trump posted a threat in response to the participation of males in girls’ events.

As WND reported, in a Truth Social post Tuesday, Trump said: “California, under the leadership of Radical Left Democrat Gavin Newscum, continues to ILLEGALLY allow ‘MEN TO PLAY IN WOMEN’S SPORTS.’

“This week a transitioned Male athlete, at a major event, won ‘everything,’ and is now qualified to compete in the ‘State Finals’ next weekend.

“As a Male, he was a less than average competitor. As a Female, this transitioned person is practically unbeatable.

“THIS IS NOT FAIR, AND TOTALLY DEMEANING TO WOMEN AND GIRLS.

‘Uncharted Territory’: For the First Time, 50% Say America Is Heading in the Right Direction

/2 Comments/in , /by

A majority of voters say America is headed in the right direction. That has never happened in the nearly 20 years Rasmussen Reports has been posing the question.

A Rasmussen survey taken May 18-May 22 and released Sunday said 48% of Americans say the country is headed in the “right direction,” while 47% say the U.S. is on the “wrong track.” Five percent are “Not Sure.”

Rasmussen’s Mark Mitchell put the numbers in context, saying, “In 20 years, the % of people who say the U.S. is headed in the right direction has never been higher than today.”

The pollster began conducting its right track-wrong track surveys in 2006.

The sharp-eyed and those critical of the administration were quick to note that, technically, 48% is not a majority. For that, you’d need 50%. Indeed, search “Rasmussen Right Direction” on X and you’ll find a run of people quoting Grok saying that same thing.

Thomas Massie Takes Apparent Swipe At Right-Wing Influencers After Angering MAGA

/2 Comments/in , /by

Republican Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie highlighted people accused of being “paid grifters” in a blisteringly critical Tuesday tweet, calling for disclosure of payments allegedly made for influence.

“If we’re going to have campaign disclosure laws at all, the paid grifters on X and other platforms should be required to disclose who’s paying them to influence elections,” Massie tweeted Tuesday morning.

Tuesday wasn’t the first time Massie called out those he claimed were “paid influencers.”

In January, popular social media creator “Catturd” appeared to threaten Massie with a defamation lawsuit after Massie seemed to call the creator out.

“Who are the most nenarded paid influencers on this platform?” Massie asked in a January tweet.

Two female Secret Service Uniformed Division Officers brawled in front of former President Barack Obama’s Washington D.C. residence, according to video published Tuesday by Real Clear Politics.

The outlet originally published an audio clip from a recorded Secret Service line of one female agent requesting a supervisor’s presence “immediately before” she “whoop this girl’s ass.”

The female officer who made the call was upset that her shift replacement was late and engaged in both verbal and physical aggression toward her when she arrived at the shift, according to the RCP report.

The altercation reportedly occurred around 2:30 a.m., Wednesday, with video footage appearing to show three individuals involved in a scuffle. (Read more from “Video Appears To Show Secret Service Agents Brawling In Front Of Obama’s House” HERE)

HHS Scraps COVID Vaccine Schedule for Children and Pregnant Women: ‘It’s Common Sense, and It’s Good Science’

/17 Comments/in , /by

The Health and Human Services Department announced Tuesday that the COVID vaccine will be dropped from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s recommended vaccine schedule for healthy pregnant women and children.

By amending the vaccine schedule, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is combatting the residual COVID hysteria from former President Joe Biden’s administration. Kennedy made the highly anticipated announcement alongside Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, director of the National Institutes of Health, and Dr. Martin Makary, who serves as commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration.

“I couldn’t be more pleased to announce that as of today, the COVID vaccine for healthy children and healthy pregnant women has been removed from the CDC recommended immunization schedule,” Kennedy said.

“Last year, the Biden administration urged healthy children to get yet another COVID shot, despite the lack of any clinical data, to support the repeat booster strategy in children,” Kennedy said.

“That ends today,” Bhattacharya added. “It’s common sense, and it’s good science.”

Prior to the announcement, the CDC recommended the COVID vaccine to any person over 6 months old, particularly people over the age of 65, pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and women planning to conceive.

Musk ‘Disappointed’ by Trump-Backed Spending Bill Amid $36 Trillion Debt Crisis

/0 Comments/in , /by

Elon Musk said he is “disappointed” by the costs of President Donald Trump’s “one big, beautiful bill” passed by Republicans in the House last week.

“I was disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit, not just decreases it, and undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing,” Musk told “CBS Sunday Morning” in an exclusive broadcast interview.

The remarks by Musk, who recently stepped back from running the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, are in contrast to Trump, who backed the legislation, which still needs Senate approval.

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act passed 215 to 214 in the House. All Democrats and two Republicans, Reps. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., and Warren Davidson, R-Ohio, voted against the bill. House Freedom Caucus Chair Andy Harris, R-Md., voted “present.”

The bill is a victory for Trump and House Republicans, who overcame policy disagreements to deliver on Trump’s key campaign promises, including an extension of his 2017 tax cuts and no tax on tips, overtime and Social Security.

New Chinese COVID Strain Has Landed in the U.S., Affecting NYC

/0 Comments/in , /by

A new, highly infectious COVID-19 strain that has led to a spike in hospitalizations in China has now been detected in the US, including cases in New York City, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The new NB.1.81 variant was first detected in the US in late March and early April among international travelers arriving at airports in California, Washington State, Virginia and New York City, with additional cases reported in Ohio, Rhode Island and Hawaii.

The CDC has said there are too few cases in the US to be properly tracked in the agency’s variant estimates, but experts are warning that the virus’ run in China shows it spreads more quickly than other dominant strains of the respiratory infection.

Experts have been closely tracking the NB.1.8.1 variant after it became the dominant strain in China this year, with cases surging all across Asia.

Hong Kong authorities say COVID-19 cases have spiked to the worst levels in at least a year after officials announced a “significant increase” in emergency room visits and hospitalizations in the last month due to the variant.

A transgender TikToker, dressed in a blue leotard and pink Minnie Mouse ears, went on an angry rant after a waiter at a Disney World restaurant referred to him as “sir.” In response, the individual, who presents as a teenage girl, claimed the experience made him feel unsafe at Disney, a place often described as “the happiest place on Earth.”

“It makes me want to immediately, like, leave, because I no longer feel, like, safe here,” trans TikToker Lilly Contino said in a video posted to social media.

Contino was dining at Tiffins Restaurant in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park when the waiter, while explaining the first course, addressed him as “sir.”

“Coconut bread from Thailand?” Contino asked, to which the server replied, “Yes, sir.”
