Pentagon announces crackdown on suspected leaks in Defense Department

/0 Comments/in , /by

Defense Department personnel could be subject to a lie detector test as part of the Pentagon’s recently announced crackdown on “unauthorized disclosures of national security information.”

In a memo released Friday, Joe Kasper, chief of staff for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, directed the director for Defense Intelligence (Counterintelligence, Law Enforcement, and Security) to investigate unauthorized disclosures of sensitive and classified information throughout the Defense Department.

The memo provided no details about the alleged leaks from the Pentagon.

“This investigation will commence immediately and culminate in a report to the Secretary of Defense,” Mr. Kasper wrote. “The report will include a complete record of unauthorized disclosures within the Department of Defense and recommendations to improve such efforts.”

The use of a polygraph test in the investigation will be done “in accordance with applicable law and policy,” the memo stated. (Read more from “‘Excited’: Now Another Big Name Close to Trump Will Travel to Greenland This Week” HERE)

‘Excited’: Now Another Big Name Close to Trump Will Travel to Greenland This Week

/0 Comments/in , /by

First it was conservative giants Donald Trump Jr. and Charlie Kirk who visited Greenland, and now Second Lady Usha Vance is headed to the region President Donald Trump wishes to acquire for the United States.

Usha Vance, the wife of Vice President JD Vance, will travel on Thursday to Greenland with her son and an American delegation for a three-day visit.

The White House said on Sunday: “On Thursday, March 27, 2025, Second Lady Usha Vance will travel to Greenland with her son and a United States delegation to visit historical sites, learn about Greenlandic heritage, and attend the Avannaata Qimussersu, Greenland’s national dogsled race.

“The race brings together approximately 37 mushers and 444 dogs in a remarkable display of speed, skill, and teamwork. Ms. Vance and the delegation are excited to witness this monumental race and celebrate Greenlandic culture and unity.”

The delegation is set to return to America on Saturday. (Read more from “‘Excited’: Now Another Big Name Close to Trump Will Travel to Greenland This Week” HERE)

‘Heir Apparent’: Here’s How JD Vance’s New RNC Role Puts Him In Pole Position For 2028

/0 Comments/in , /by

Vice President J.D. Vance is taking over as the Republican National Committee’s (RNC) finance chair, a new role that GOP strategists and pundits say bolsters his position as the clear frontrunner to represent the party as its nominee in the 2028 presidential race.

In his new role, Vance — the first sitting vice president to take on the RNC campaign finance chair job — will be one of the top fundraisers in the country for the party and play a pivotal role in directing its course in the 2026 midterms and beyond. The position will grant Vance access to major GOP donors from all over the country and an ability to build rapport with them, cementing his status as the obvious leader for the GOP nomination in 2028 over potential opponents who will not have the same opportunities, GOP strategists and pundits told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

“This is an acknowledgement of the effectiveness of J.D. Vance advancing the Trump message,” Mark Warner, an Ohio-based GOP strategist, told the DCNF. “You do not put your lead fundraising person out if that person is not a skilled communicator who energizes the base. So, this is an acknowledgement of his skillset and his ability to do many things. Along the way, it will give him relationships with key donors that will be invaluable should he run for president in 2028 … Being the top Republican fundraiser is a tremendous advantage for J.D. Vance.”

Clearly, there is still plenty of time between now and the beginning of the 2028 primary season, but prospective 2028 candidates on the other side of the aisle are already beginning to test the waters in earnest as part of the very early “invisible primary” process. But the only things that could knock Vance out of his pole position would be a severe slip-up on his part or a sudden loss of support for the Trump brand among GOP base voters, both of which are highly unlikely, in Warner’s view.

To date, Vance has endeared himself to the America First base as vice president. Among other splashy moments and speeches, Vance has chastised European elites for censoring average citizens, confronted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy over his perceived lack of gratitude in an Oval Office meeting, delivered strong speeches on topics ranging from the pro-life movement to the artificial intelligence race, sparred with liberal cable news hosts and helped get Trump cabinet picks like Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard over the finish line in the Senate confirmation process.

Former Biden US Attorney Found Dead At 43

/0 Comments/in , /by

Jessica Aber, a 43-year-old former U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia appointed by President Biden, was found dead at her home Saturday in Alexandria, Virginia.

The Alexandria Police Department stated that officers responded to Aber’s home after receiving a report about an “unresponsive woman.”

While her death remains unexplained, the department is investigating the “cause and manner” of her death. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner is also conducting a review of Aber’s death.

During her tenure from 2021 to 2025, Aber secured a conviction of Siemens Energy for corporate espionage. Siemens was found guilty of stealing trade secrets from competitors General Electric and Mitsubishi, resulting in a $104 million fine.

The Biden-appointed attorney achieved a major win when ex-CIA analyst Asif Rahman, 34, pleaded guilty to leaking classified documents about Israel’s planned strike on Iran. Rahman shared the details on Telegram, causing Israel to delay its October attack on Tehran. (Read more from “Former Biden US Attorney Found Dead At 43” HERE)

This Federal Agency Will Soon Be Aiding Trump’s Mass Deportation Efforts

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will soon be working with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to support the Trump administration’s efforts to curb illegal immigration.

The two agencies are close to hammering out an agreement in which the IRS will help DHS locate individuals who are believed to be residing in the country illegally, CNN reported.

The agreement would require Immigration and Customs Enforcement to submit names and addresses of people it suspects of living in the country illegally to the IRS, which the tax agency would then cross-reference and confirm, the person said.

Tax information has generally been closely held within the IRS, and laws prohibit improper disclosure of taxpayer information. The IRS has encouraged undocumented migrants to file taxes, a process that includes providing the agency with their addresses, employers and earnings.

CNN reported earlier this year that DHS had circulated a draft memo to the IRS that represented a sweeping request for information about suspected undocumented immigrants, including the home addresses of several hundred thousand individuals who paid federal taxes based on their individual taxpayer identification numbers, according to a source with direct knowledge of the document.

Privacy experts say that would be a violation of the strict disclosure laws that the IRS operates under which prohibit the release of tax information by an IRS employee.

The draft the person described Sunday appears to be a narrower version of the earlier draft. Under the current iteration, the IRS would confirm migrants’ addresses rather than provide the information to ICE.

Elon Musk Threatens Lawsuit After Ex-Squad Member Jamaal Bowman Calls Him ‘Nazi,’ ‘Thief’ on CNN

/0 Comments/in , /by

Elon Musk threatened to sue former Democrat Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) after the ex-squad member called him a “nazi” and a “thief” during an appearance on CNN on Thursday.

“I’ve had enough. Lawsuit inbound,” Musk posted to X on Friday in response to Bowman’s televised roundtable discussion.

Bowman, who lost last July’s Democrat primary following a series of antisemitic controversies and a Capitol stunt resulting in his criminal conviction, told the panel of commentators that the “American people do not trust Elon Musk and Elon Musk is incompetent in his position.”

“And how do we know? Because they fired tens of thousands of people, it was challenged in court. The court said the people have to go back, and now the people are coming back. He’s incompetent, he’s a thief, he’s a Nazi, and people don’t trust him, period,” Bowman said.

Host Abby Phillip jumped in clarifying: “Former Congressman Bowman, I just have to say, just a second, I just have to say, your opinion about Elon Musk is your opinion about Elon Musk.”

Leftist Lawfare Aims To Keep Illegally Present Murderers And Child Rapists Roaming U.S. Streets

/0 Comments/in , /by

It is a tale as old as time: a criminal identified for arrest and prison does everything possible to avoid contact with authorities. In recent years, many wanted criminals have fled their home country, destination: United States. On former President Joe Biden’s watch, fugitives from justice illegally entered and found sanctuary in the U.S., where many continued their criminal ways.

They are unworthy of our hospitality, yet leftist activists are in court trying to protect literal murderers and rapists from being deported.

When the Department of Homeland Security last week deported 238 illegal aliens and alleged members of Tren De Aragua, a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization, from the U.S. to a prison in El Salvador, the anti-American ACLU and the far-left lawfare firm Democracy Forward went to court to stop the deportations. Activist Judge James Boasberg of the U.S. District Court of Washington, D.C. ordered the Trump administration not to remove any violent illegal aliens for 14 days, but the airplanes carrying them were already on their way.

While court actions are ongoing, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) continues to remove wanted criminals still in the U.S. every day.

Like Miguel Antonio Verdugo-Garcia, 49, who is wanted in Mexico for homicide. Sporting a white cable-knit cardigan sweater adorned with Scottie dogs, Verdugo-Garcia was removed from Arizona by ICE officials on March 13. He had been arrested for assault by Glendale Police Department, and the Avondale Police Department arrested him for false report to law enforcement before he was deported. He had previously been removed from the U.S. three times in 2019, according to ICE.

Trump Revokes Legal Status for 530,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans

/0 Comments/in , /by

U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration will revoke the temporary legal status of 530,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans and Venezuelans in the United States, according to a Federal Register notice on Friday, the latest expansion of his crackdown on immigration.

The move, effective April 24, cuts short a two-year “parole” granted to the migrants under former President Joe Biden that allowed them to enter the country by air if they had U.S. sponsors.

Trump, a Republican, took steps to ramp up immigration enforcement after taking office, including a push to deport record numbers of migrants in the U.S. illegally. He has argued that the legal entry parole programs launched under his Democratic predecessor overstepped the boundaries of federal law and called for their termination in a January 20 executive order.

Trump said on March 6 that he would decide “very soon” whether to strip the parole status from some 240,000 Ukrainians who fled to the U.S. during the conflict with Russia. Trump’s remarks came in response to a Reuters report that said his administration planned to revoke the status for Ukrainians as soon as April.

UAE Commits to $1.4 Trillion U.S. Investment, White House Says

/0 Comments/in , /by

The United Arab Emirates has committed to a 10-year, $1.4 trillion investment framework in the United States after top UAE officials met President Donald Trump this week, the White House said on Friday.

The framework will “substantially increase the UAE’s existing investments in the U.S. economy” in AI infrastructure, semiconductors, energy, and manufacturing, the White House said in a statement.

The White House did not outline how UAE investments would reach $1.4 trillion, with some of the deals unveiled as part of the framework having already been announced.

The only fully new deal appeared to be an investment by Emirates Global Aluminium in what would be the first new aluminum smelter in the United States in 35 years, the White House said, adding the plant “would nearly double U.S. domestic aluminum production”.

“Developing a primary aluminium smelter in the U.S. has been part of EGA’s ambitions for several years,” a spokesperson for the firm said in a statement. (Read more from “UAE Commits to $1.4 Trillion U.S. Investment, White House Says” HERE)
