Steve Bannon Says Elon Musk Should Be Deported ‘Immediately’

Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon said he has advised President Donald Trump to “immediately” deport Elon Musk from the United States.

Bannon, who has been critical of Musk and his work with the Department of Government Efficiency for months, reportedly said on Thursday that he suggested Trump launch an investigation into Elon Musk’s immigration status.

“They should initiate a formal investigation of his immigration status because I am of the strong belief that he is an illegal alien, and he should be deported from the country immediately,” Bannon told the New York Times.

On his War Room podcast Thursday, Bannon also strongly rebuked Musk’s lack of delivering on promised evidence of waste, fraud, and abuse within the federal government.

Olympic Boxer Imane Khelif Skipping Competition After New Mandatory Sex Testing

Imane Khelif, the boxer at the center of the Olympic gender controversy, is skipping a boxing tournament in the Netherlands after World Boxing announced mandatory sex testing for all athletes.

The Algerian boxer, who won gold at the Paris Games last summer amid scrutiny over her eligibility, did not register in time for the event before applications closed on Thursday.

Khelif had intended to return to international competition at the tournament in Hotel Eindhoven before World Boxing announced its new sex testing policy last Friday. (Read more from “Olympic Boxer Imane Khelif Skipping Competition After New Mandatory Sex Testing” HERE)

Teen Suspended for Using Term ‘Illegal Alien’ Just Beat the System and Cashed In

The left has weaponized language. That’s what “political correctness” really is: control disguised as kindness. Calling someone an “illegal alien” isn’t hateful or racist; it’s legally accurate. That’s the correct term. But in today’s twisted world of Cultural Marxism, stating a fact can get you labeled a bigot, suspended from school, or worse. This is how they do it: they control the language, then the thoughts, then the ideas. That’s not kindness; it’s tyranny. And it’s not freedom. . .

Meet Christian McGhee, a 16-year-old high school student in North Carolina who used the term “illegal alien” in an English assignment and was suspended for it. His school said it was “offensive” and “disrespectful.” They accused him of “racial bias.”

Carolina Journal:

A 16-year-old student at Central Davidson High School in Lexington, North Carolina was suspended for three days last week after using the term ‘illegal alien’ during a vocabulary assignment in his English class.

Leah McGhee’s son has a teacher who assigned vocabulary words during class last Tuesday, including the word ‘alien.’ McGhee says her son made an effort to understand the assignment and responded to his teacher, asking, “Like space aliens or illegal aliens without green cards?”

According to an email describing the incident, sent to local officials and shared with Carolina Journal, a young man in class took offense to his question and reportedly threatened to fight him, prompting the teacher to call in the assistant principal. Ultimately, his words were deemed by administrative staff to be offensive and disrespectful to classmates who are Hispanic.

“I didn’t make a statement directed towards anyone; I asked a question,” said the student in response to his suspension. “I wasn’t speaking of Hispanics because everyone from other countries needs green cards, and the term “illegal alien” is an actual term that I hear on the news and can find in the dictionary.”

But instead of backing down, Christian fought back and won. Big time.

The New York Post:

The family of a North Carolina high school student suspended last year for saying “illegal alien” in English class has dropped their lawsuit against the district in exchange for a public apology and $20,000.

Christian McGhee, 17, received a three-day suspension for using the phrase while discussing word meanings during his English class at Central Davidson High School in Lexington on April 9, 2024.

McGhee’s mother, Leah, had filed a lawsuit in which she accused the school and the Davidson County Board of Education of violating her son’s First Amendment rights.

[…]

The board has agreed to remove all references to racial bias in McGhee’s school record and issue a public apology “for the mischaracterization of racial bias” in his record, documents show.

Look How The Google Speech Police Scold Me For Searching The Term ‘Illegal Alien’

Google has found a new way to police the speech of its users: scolding them for typing factual terms into its search bar.

After a Justice Department lawsuit resulted in Texas ending in-state tuition for illegal aliens at state universities, I used Google to look up more details about the case. In response to the search “texas scholarships for illegal aliens,” the search engine’s AI overview slapped a patronizing warning at the top of the page, scolding me that “the term ‘illegal alien’ is considered pejorative and offensive.”

“It is more accurate and respectful to use terms like ‘undocumented students’ or ‘immigrant students,’” the note continued.

But a term like “immigrant students” is far less accurate, because the lawsuit applied only to immigrants who are in the United States illegally, not immigrants on student visas or green card holders.

I reached out to Google asking if it was company policy to scold users for the words they type into the search bar and pressure them to self-censor, and a Google representative emailed back but did not provide a response to my question. Nor would she point to any inaccuracy in the term, or explain why the search engine recommended a less accurate term.

Trump Enacts Travel Ban Covering 12 Countries

President Donald Trump signed a proclamation on Wednesday that restricts entry of nationals from countries deemed high-risk for terrorism and inadequate security measures into the U.S.

The proclamation fully restricts entry from 12 countries: Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen, all identified as having deficient screening and vetting processes or high risks related to terrorism, visa overstays or lack of cooperation with U.S. authorities. This action follows Executive Order 14161, which directed national security agencies to assess the risks posed by foreign countries.

Additionally, the Proclamation imposes partial restrictions on seven other countries such as Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela due to high visa overstay rates and security concerns. Exceptions apply for lawful permanent residents, existing visa holders, and individuals whose entry serves U.S. national interests.

The Trump administration said the restrictions outlined are designed to foster cooperation with foreign governments and enforce U.S. immigration laws more effectively. By targeting countries with weak security measures and high risks, the administration said it aims to ensure that individuals entering the U.S. do not pose a threat to public safety or national security.

Biden-Appointed Judge Blocks Trump From Deporting Family Of Radical Islamist Terrorist

Colorado Federal Judge Gordon Gallagher, a Biden appointee, issued an order on Wednesday blocking the Trump administration from deporting the family of radical Islamist terrorist Mohamed Soliman, who on Sunday set a dozen Jewish demonstrators on fire.

The two-page order — the latest in the string of judicial lawfare — states that the Trump administration “SHALL NOT REMOVE Hayem El Gamal and her five children from the District of Colorado or the United States unless or until this Court or the Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit vacates this Order.”

The order comes hours after Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced that DHS and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) “have taken the family of suspected Boulder, Colorado terrorist, and illegal alien, Mohamed Soliman, into ICE custody.”

ICE detained Soliman’s wife, Hayam Salah Alsaid Ahmed Elgamal, and his five children and processed them for removal, according to the Department of Homeland Security. All are citizens of Egypt. While Soliman is an illegal alien, the legal status of his family members is unclear.

Soliman set Jewish demonstrators on fire in Boulder, Colorado, on Sunday, injuring a dozen, including a Holocaust survivor. The demonstrators were calling for the release of the hostages being held by Hamas. (Read more from “Biden-Appointed Judge Blocks Trump From Deporting Family Of Radical Islamist Terrorist” HERE)

Nearly One-Quarter of US Public School Enrollment Could Be Anchor Babies

few simple calculations indicate that as much as one-quarter of U.S. public school enrollment could be anchor babies, meaning children with at least one parent illegally present in the United States. This alone amounts to at least $145.6 billion in public resources diverted from U.S. citizens every year.

Here’s the math. In April, the Kaiser Family Foundation estimated that 17 percent of school-age children, or nine million kids, in the United States are children of at least one illegal alien. The New York Times has reported on the estimate. Some of these children are also foreign citizens, while some were born in the United States. Under a longstanding court misinterpretation, being born in the United States currently confers U.S. citizenship. Almost no other developed countries confer citizenship solely by birth location.

That’s already one in six kids in the United States who are legally subject to deportation to continue living with their parents. If you also assume that all of this population attends public schools, the percentage is more than 17. That’s because only 80 percent of U.S. kids attend a traditional public school, according to 2024 figures from EdChoice.

There were 50 million school-age kids in the United States in 2024, according to ChildStats.gov (adding in the five-year-olds to match the anchor baby age range and assuming there were 4 million of them, an equal age distribution among the 0-5 figure). Eighty percent of 50 is 40, so 40 million of the total 50 million U.S. kids went to public schools in 2024. Nine million anchor babies out of that total 40 million public-school attendees suggests 22.5 percent of U.S. public school enrollment could be anchor babies.

Why This Is a Reasonable Figure

Yes, these are estimates, and some very broad math. If anything, however, official estimates tend underestimate illegal migration, given its, well, illegal and illicit nature. So it’s absolutely within a reasonable range to assume somewhere around a quarter of U.S, public school enrollment is anchor babies.

Biden Adamant ‘I Made the Decisions’ in Office After Trump Orders Probe of Autopen Use

Former President Joe Biden was adamant that he “made the decisions” and defended his use of an autopen during his presidency, hours after President Trump ordered an investigation.

Trump directed US Attorney General Pam Bondi on Wednesday to open a probe and mused that some of Biden’s aides may have used the autopen system to get away with making key decisions for the 46th president, chiding that his mental acuity had declined.

“I made the decisions about the pardons, executive orders, legislation, and proclamations. Any suggestion that I didn’t is ridiculous and false,” Biden said in a statement.

“This is nothing more than a distraction by Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans who are working to push disastrous legislation that would cut essential programs like Medicaid and raise costs on American families, all to pay for tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy and big corporations.”

Shortly after his departure from the White House, the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project uncovered evidence that the 46th president had used an autopen — a device to produce his signature — on a slew of key documents such as proclamations, pardons, and executive orders.

New Analysis Reflects That Dead Sea Scrolls May Date to Time of Their Biblical Authors

In a recent development, AI has been deployed to date the Dead Sea Scrolls with astounding accuracy, radically challenging misconceptions regarding their age and the historical timelines they fall under.

The results show that several of the Scrolls might actually be much older than what is assumed, and in some cases, could be from the era of the biblical figures that supposedly wrote them.

Pioneered by the University of Groningen, this multidisciplinary work merges radiocarbon dating, ancient handwriting analysis, and machine learning.

The outcome is Enoch, the first AI system that can derive probabilistic dates from the script of Hebrew and Aramaic manuscripts, providing estimates based solely on the script’s stylistic elements.

“With the Enoch tool we have opened a new door into the ancient world, like a time machine, that allows us to study the hands that wrote the Bible, especially now that we have established, for the first time, that two biblical scroll fragments come from the time of their presumed authors,” say the authors.

Woke Mayor Slammed by Top US Prosecutor for ‘Reckless’ Comments About ICE ‘Secret Police’

The top federal prosecutor in Massachusetts blasted Boston’s woke mayor — accusing her of putting ICE agents at risk by claiming the feds are acting like “secret police” in rounding up illegal migrants.

US Attorney Leah Foley name-checked Mayor Michelle Wu after Wu voiced concerns over the weekend about the spate of recent ICE arrests — saying people in the sanctuary city were getting snatched off the street by “secret police who are wearing masks.”

Foley quickly ripped Wu’s remarks as “reckless and inflammatory.”

“There are no secrets. ICE agents, along with other federal law enforcement partners, are making immigration arrests. That is no secret. They are arresting individuals who are here illegally, which is a violation of federal law,” Foley said.

“We will not apologize for doing our job,” Foley added in the fiery video statement. (Read more from “Woke Mayor Slammed by Top US Prosecutor for ‘Reckless’ Comments About ICE ‘Secret Police’” HERE)
