DOGE: Criminal Aliens Paroled By Biden Took In $1.3 Million In Taxpayer Handouts

While the left goes about its little “Hands Off!” temper-tantrum, their leaders have forced Americans to pick up the tab in government benefits for “paroled” illegal immigrants convicted of crimes — even suspected terrorists.

The Biden administration paid out at least $1.3 million in Medicaid, student loans, tax refunds, and other federal government benefits and payments to thousands of paroled aliens with criminal or terrorist records, according to the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

“Under the Biden administration, it was routine for [U.S.] Border Patrol to admit aliens into the United States with no legal status and minimal screening,” the government fat trimmer said Friday in an X post.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection has identified a subset of 6,300 individuals paroled into the U.S. since 2023 who were included on the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Center watchlist or who have criminal records, DOGE reported.

“These paroles have since been terminated with immediate effect,” the agency added. (Read more from “DOGE: Criminal Aliens Paroled By Biden Took In $1.3 Million In Taxpayer Handouts” HERE)

FBI: Teen Murdered Parents in ‘Extremist’ Plot to Fund Assassination of President Trump

A 17-year-old Wisconsin teen allegedly killed his parents in pursuit of the “financial means and autonomy” to assassinate President Trump, the FBI revealed.

Court documents show the 17-year-old was part of a “satanic cult” which has “strong anti-Judaism anti-Christian and anti-western ideologies,” WISN reported Friday.

Investigators also found a manifesto which “described a call to assassinate President Trump, make and detonate bombs and carry out other terrorist attacks.” (Read more from “FBI: Teen Murdered Parents in ‘Extremist’ Plot to Fund Assassination of President Trump” HERE)

America Winning: Nvidia to Invest $500 Billion to Build AI Chips and Supercomputers in Texas

Nvidia has announced plans to build AI supercomputers in Texas and invest up to $500 billion in AI production within the United States.

Barron’s reports that AI powerhouse Nvidia has commissioned over a million square feet of manufacturing space in Arizona and Texas to build and test its Blackwell chips and AI supercomputers. This marks the first time that Nvidia will be producing its cutting-edge AI technology entirely within the United States.

Nvidia’s Blackwell chips have already started production at TSMC’s chip plants in Phoenix, Arizona. Meanwhile, the company is constructing supercomputer manufacturing plants in partnership with Foxconn in Houston and Wistron in Dallas. Mass production at these facilities is expected to ramp up within the next 12-15 months.

The manufacturing of Nvidia’s AI chips and supercomputers for American AI factories is projected to generate hundreds of thousands of jobs and drive trillions of dollars in economic security in the decades ahead. Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang stated, “The engines of the world’s AI infrastructure are being built in the United States for the first time. Adding American manufacturing helps us better meet the incredible and growing demand for AI chips and supercomputers, strengthens our supply chain and boosts our resiliency.”

The AI chip and supercomputer supply chain is highly complex, requiring the most advanced manufacturing, packaging, assembly, and testing technologies. To support this endeavor, Nvidia is collaborating with Amkor and SPIL for packaging and testing operations in Arizona.

Courage and Consequences: Inside Whistleblower’s Harrowing Experience with Biden’s Department of (In)justice

There is stiff competition atop the leaderboard of history’s most dramatic reversals. Foremost is the resurrection of a crucified Messiah, then the parting of the Red Sea, then young David succeeding Saul as king of Israel. Somewhere nearby is Gandalf appearing east of Helm’s Deep on the first light of the fifth day (okay, maybe that one is fictional), and not far behind is Eithan Haim’s Jan. 24 vindication after very nearly facing prison time on spurious charges.

Excuse this reporter’s rare indulgence of hyperbole, but, for the small-town Texas surgeon, the sudden reversal of his fortune felt like “the biggest victory possible in the most dramatic way possible,” as he put it on The Washington Stand’s “Outstanding” podcast, for which the titular superlative is not hyperbole. “That morning, I was getting ready to go to jail. … That day … the judge has to dismiss the case with prejudice.”

Congressional Testimony

Haim related his harrowing experience on Wednesday before the U.S. House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government, in a hearing titled, “Ending Lawfare Against Whistleblowers Who Protect Children.”

While completing his surgical training at Texas Children’s Hospital in 2022, Haim discovered that the hospital’s public claim that it had shut down its gender transition program for minors, after Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Republican, had declared that such treatment constituted child abuse, “was a blatant lie,” he testified. “They not only continued their program, they expanded it.”

In May 2023, he anonymously blew the whistle on the hospital’s potentially illegal deception. But the Joe Biden administration’s Department of Justice chose to investigate Haim, not the hospital. Armed federal officials notified him of this investigation by knocking on his front door on “one of the most important days of my life,” the very morning of his graduation from his surgical program at Baylor College of Medicine, which is affiliated with Texas Children’s Hospital.

Speaker Johnson Makes Position Clear on Possible Tax Hike on Some Americans

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., is no “big fan” of hiking the tax rate for America’s wealthiest to 40%, an idea reportedly being mulled by Republicans to offset some costs of their in-progress tax package.

“We’re the Republican Party, and we’re for tax reduction for everyone, and that’s a general principle that we always try to abide by,” Johnson told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo on Sunday.

Though there are many discussions, thoughts and theories on how to get all the GOP’s goals accomplished, Johnson said he wouldn’t “put any money on any of [those] yet.”

“I would say just stay tuned. The next five to six weeks are going to be critical as all these negotiations happen in the committees of jurisdiction,” he continued.

“You’ll hear lots of rumors and lots of talk, but we’ll see where it all lands.” (Read more from “Speaker Johnson Makes Position Clear on Possible Tax Hike on Some Americans” HERE)

U.S. Military Veterans Slam DOD Demand Forcing Them to Lie to Get Reinstated

Conservative military veterans are sounding the alarm over a new Department of Defense reinstatement form that they say whitewashes the truth about their forced separations during the COVID-19 vaccine mandate era.

Veterans who once wore the uniform with honor are now being told that if they want back in, they must lie on paper and pretend they left the military of their own free will.

The Department of Defense has released updated guidance officially inviting back thousands of service members who were involuntarily separated for refusing to comply with the now-defunct COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

The move comes under Executive Order 14184, signed by President Donald Trump on January 27, 2025, and implemented by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

The order compels the Pentagon to offer reinstatement to any military personnel—active or reserve—who were forced out solely for refusing the COVID shot. (Read more from “U.S. Military Veterans Slam DOD Demand Forcing Them to Lie to Get Reinstated” HERE)

Suspect Arrested in Connection With Gov. Shapiro Home Being Set on Fire

Police have arrested 38-year-old Cody Balmer in connection with a fire set at Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro’s residence on Sunday.

Balmer is facing multiple serious charges, including attempted murder, terrorism, aggravated arson, and aggravated assault against a protected individual. According to Pennsylvania State Police Lt. Col. George Bivens, Balmer allegedly jumped a fence before setting fire to the property.

“He actively evaded troopers who were here to secure the residence,” he said. “While [police] were searching is when he attacked at the residence, [and] broke in and set the fires. So that was all playing out over a period of several minutes. It was a very quick event that occurred, and, and again, troopers were actively searching for him at the time.”

Democrat Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA) and his family were forced to evacuate the governor’s mansion early Sunday after a suspected arsonist set fire to the property in what officials are calling a “deliberate and dangerous act.” While no injuries have been reported, the incident has raised serious concerns about public safety and the effectiveness of state leadership in maintaining law and order.

The fire broke out around 2 a.m., waking him and his family. Authorities say the arsonist caused a significant amount of damage to the property. Photos of the fire response show smoke coming out of the residence’s windows, with the exterior trim layered in what appeared to be soot. (Read more from “Suspect Arrested in Connection With Gov. Shapiro Home Being Set on Fire” HERE)

New York Helicopter Tours Shuts Down After Hudson River Crash That Killed 6: FAA

The Big Apple sightseeing company involved in the Hudson River helicopter crash that killed six is shutting down its operations “immediately,” the Federal Aviation Administration announced Sunday night, three days after the deadly disaster.

A chopper operated by New York Helicopter Tours plunged into the frigid waters off Manhattan Thursday — killing a Siemens executive, his wife and their three young children who were visiting from Spain and the pilot, who was a Navy veteran.

“New York Helicopter Tours — the company involved in the deadly crash on the Hudson earlier this week — is shutting down their operations immediately,” the FAA tweeted.

“We will continue to support NTSB’s investigation. Additionally, the FAA will be launching an immediate review of the tour operator’s license and safety record.”

The FAA did not make clear if the business would be shut down permanently and did not return an email seeking clarity late Sunday. (Read more from “New York Helicopter Tours Shuts Down After Hudson River Crash That Killed 6: FAA” HERE)

Declassified Cold War-Era CIA Files Detail Soviet Clash With Aliens Who Witnesses Say Turned Soldiers to Stone

A declassified Cold War-era file from the CIA has gone viral over its coverage of a supposed clash between Soviet soldiers and a UFO, whose passengers reportedly turned the troops to stone before blasting off.

Following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the CIA acquired a 250-page KGB report recounting the events that transpired after a platoon fired at a flying saucer over Ukraine.

The report included eyewitness accounts and pictures of the aftermath, which one American agent described as “a horrific picture of revenge on the part of extraterrestrial creatures, a picture that makes one’s blood freeze.”

The report claims Soviets conducting a training exercise in Ukraine spotted a “low-flying spaceship in the shape of a saucer” soaring above their heads.

During the encounter, one of the Soviets fired a surface-to-air missile, which struck the UFO and sent it crashing to the ground. (Read more from “Declassified Cold War-Era CIA Files Detail Soviet Clash With Aliens Who Witnesses Say Turned Soldiers to Stone” HERE)

Comedian Theo Von Backs Trump’s Tariff Plan: ‘If We Don’t Try This, I Think It’s a Wrap’

Comedian and podcaster Theo Von made a now or never pitch in support of President Donald Trump’s wide-ranging tariffs, crediting Trump for attempting to steer America off of a path that has left whole swaths of American towns and cities “empty” and “boarded up.”

“The goal of tariffs is, if it costs more for people to bring their products in then they will build them here,” Von said, adding “So it’s kind of a longterm play. It’s going to take a while.”

“If we don’t try this, then I think it’s a wrap. On this comedy tour, we’ve been to probably the top 200 cities, like size-wise in America. Maybe even more than that. And a lot of them, there’s nothing there. It’s empty downtowns. It’s boarded up,” Von continued. “And so you start to be like, nothing’s going to change. There’s nothing coming that’s going to make that better.”

President Trump is attempting to decouple America from China and ultimately re-shore manufacturing and major supply chains, out of Asia and back to the U.S. His strategy is still in its early days but the White House says over a hundred countries have already come to the negotiating table.

On Sunday, National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett told CNN’s State of the Union anchor Jake Tapper the Trump administration is currently negotiating trade policy with 130 countries.
