Ohio’s GOP Governor Calls Trump’s Plans to Deport Haitians a “Mistake”: “You’d be sending people … back to hell”

/0 Comments/in , /by

Republican Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine told CBS News the Trump administration’s plan to ramp up arrests and deportations of Haitian migrants is a “mistake,” arguing the move could bruise the state’s economy and risk putting Haitians in danger in their home country.

More than 300,000 people from Haiti are set this week to lose Temporary Protected Status, a humanitarian immigration program that protects them from deportation and allows them to work, after the Supreme Court upheld the Trump administration’s plan to end the policy for Haitians. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has drawn up plans to launch a deportation blitz focused on Haitian migrants as early as this week, CBS News reported Sunday.

The operations could focus in part on the thousands of Haitians who live in Ohio, many of whom have settled in the city of Springfield in recent years. During the 2024 campaign, President Trump claimed, without evidence, that Haitian immigrants in the city were eating cats and dogs.

In an interview on Monday in Columbus, DeWine said the planned deportation operations would be “a blow to Springfield” and “a blow to the state of Ohio.”

“These are people who have helped Springfield really come back,” DeWine said, pointing to Haitians who have filled jobs and opened businesses in an economically challenged city. “The Haitians who are living there and employed there, they came there to work, and they came there because there were jobs that were not being filled by other people.” (Read more from “Ohio’s GOP Governor Calls Trump’s Plans to Deport Haitians a “Mistake”: “You’d be sending people … back to hell” HERE)

This University Received More Foreign Money than Any Other U.S. College

/0 Comments/in , /by

Harvard University, which has ties to Communist China, has apparently outpaced other American universities in receiving foreign funding.

Now, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), who also chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee, wants government officials to investigate China’s flow of money into colleges, Fox News reported Monday.

The outlet noted the U.S. Department of Education has kept a list of federally funded universities that received foreign money, and “The Trump administration sought to revamp the agency’s online reporting portal, and, in doing so, it has shown that one institution, Harvard University, has scored more foreign funding than any other college in the country.”

Cotton wants answers regarding the issue, saying he was concerned that transactions with sanctioned Chinese entities may not have been reported.

“Therefore, I encourage additional scrutiny of financial ties between American universities and Communist China,” he said. (Read more from “This University Received More Foreign Money than Any Other U.S. College” HERE)

Just One in Three Americans back Iran War, most Unsure of Trump’s Goals

/2 Comments/in , /by

Just one in three Americans support the war on Iran, the lowest reading in a Reuters/Ipsos poll since the five-month-old conflict’s early days, with ​most respondents saying that President Donald Trump has failed to explain his goals.

The poll, conducted Friday through Sunday, also showed the Republican president’s approval rating ticking higher to ‌37%, up three points from last month when his rating tied the lowest of his presidency.

Trump has offered shifting objectives for the conflict such as aiding Iranians to topple their leaders, taking out Iran’s ballistic-missile capabilities and preventing it from obtaining a nuclear weapon. The poll found that 69% of Americans — including four in 10 Republicans – think Trump has not “clearly explained the goals of U.S. military involvement in Iran.”

White House spokeswoman Olivia Wales said Trump will not make decisions based on “fluid opinion ​polls” and reiterated the president’s resolve to prevent Iran from ever acquiring a nuclear weapon. “What matters most to the American people is having a commander in chief who takes ​bold action to keep them safe,” Wales said.

Approval of the conflict has been below 40% since the U.S. and Israel launched strikes ⁠on February 28 — a stark contrast to the opening months of other recent conflicts. (Read more from “Just One in Three Americans back Iran War, most Unsure of Trump’s Goals” HERE)

Fauci Diary Shows He Lied to the Public About Coronavirus Fatality Rate

/1 Comment/in , /by

Former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) chief Anthony Fauci publicly lied about the coronavirus’s fatality rate, initially telling the public it was 2 to 2.5 percent but privately recording in his diary that it was “more like 0.2-0.3%.”

This explosive revelation is found in Fauci’s personal diary documenting his day-to-day duties in the early days of the Trump administration’s coronavirus response. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), Chairman of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, released the diary ahead of Fauci’s appearance before the committee.

In a February 2020 entry, Fauci recorded the number of cases as well as his many media appearances. He also surmised that the mortality rate of the virus was “more like 0.2-0.3 % rather than 2.0%.”

The entry reads:

Tom Frieden called me this AM and we discussed various aspects of the outbreak. He and I are on the same page in thinking tht [sic] this is acting like a bad influenza in its transmissibility and that the denominator is much greater than 34,867 (above) making the case fatality rate (CFR) more like 0.2-0.3 % rather than 2.0%.

“Tran” Teacher Who Received Top Ten Amazon Award Charged with Raping Child

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A New Hampshire teacher who had been named an Amazon “teacher of the year” was charged with raping a child who was 14 years old at the time.

Tymond Tran, 38, of Hudson was arraigned on Wednesday for various charges related to the heinous allegations, according to the Essex District Attorney’s Office.

Tran was an eighth-grade teacher at Thurgood Marshall Middle School in Lynn during the 2022-2023 school year when he allegedly raped the student. . .

The student’s allegations led to Tran being indicted by a grand jury on July 15 on charges that included aggravated rape of a child, posing or exhibiting a child in the nude, and providing obscene matter to a minor.

Tran had been honored by Amazon for promoting “diversity and inclusion” and named a “Future Engineer Teacher of the Year” in 2022. Only 10 teachers were selected for the award related to computer science and robotics. (Read more from “”Tran” Teacher Who Received Top Ten Amazon Award Charged with Raping Child” HERE)

Trump Orders Signs Outside Smithsonian Museum Amid Row over its Depiction of American History

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Donald Trump on Friday ordered his administration to install signs outside the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History directing visitors to what the White House describes as “accurate” information about the nation’s past.

The executive order instructs the National Park Service, which maintains the sidewalks outside the museum, to place signs informing visitors about a White House report released July 4 that criticized the Smithsonian’s portrayal of American history. Trump also directed the creation of a temporary exhibit intended to correct what his administration considers inaccurate historical information.

The move follows a report from Trump’s Domestic Policy Council that accused the Smithsonian and the National Museum of American History of failing to present history “in a way that is inspiring, unifying, and worthy of our great republic.”

Because the Smithsonian operates independently of the executive branch, Trump cannot directly remove museum leadership or unilaterally change exhibits. Instead, the order targets federal property outside the museum that falls under National Park Service jurisdiction.

National Museum of American History Director Anthea M. Hartig defended the museum during congressional testimony this week. (Read more from “Trump Orders Signs Outside Smithsonian Museum Amid Row over its Depiction of American History” HERE)

‘Biohacker’ Bryan Johnson Claims He Cloned Himself as a Newborn to Harvest Organs

/8 Comments/in , , /by

Tech entrepreneur turned “biohacker” Bryan Johnson revealed the latest development in his quest for eternal youth — claiming he cloned himself as a newborn baby to harvest the organs.

Johnson, who was recently diagnosed with an incurable disease, called his science fiction-sounding organ growing plan a “frontier of new paths” to reverse aging.

“I just cloned myself…as a newborn,” Johnson, 48, wrote on X on Tuesday. “This may be scary to some people…a dystopian future.”

“But for others, they will see it as the inevitable future of health,” added Johnson, who already uses blood transfusions from his “blood boy” teenage son.

While Johnson said this “baby-Bryan” will live in a petri dish for now, he claims the clone will be able to “test therapies on the clone, grow organs for transplantation, develop new treatments,” and “inject young cells.” (Read more from “‘Biohacker’ Bryan Johnson Claims He Cloned Himself as a Newborn to Harvest Organs” HERE)

New Insider Trading Ban Barely Scratches The Surface As Congress Tries To Appease Americans

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The new insider trading ban legislation passed by the House stops short of a comprehensive ban on an issue many Americans have expressed concern about.

The Stop Insider Trading Act, passed by the House on Wednesday with a vote of 232-198, had more than a dozen Democrats join Republicans in support.

Public support for banning members of Congress from trading individual stocks while in office has grown after years of scrutiny over lawmakers’ well-timed trades and soaring investment portfolios. However, the legislation advanced by the House falls well short of the sweeping ban sought by many advocates that would target selling stocks and limit federal officials more broadly.

Introduced by Republican Wisconsin Rep. Bryan Steil, the bill would prohibit members of Congress from purchasing individual stocks while in office but would allow them to keep stocks they already own. Lawmakers could also continue selling individual stocks, provided they publicly disclose their intent to sell at least seven days beforehand.

The measure would also sharply increase penalties for disclosure violations. Members who fail to properly report stock transactions could face fines of $2,000 or 10% of the transaction’s value, whichever is greater. That would be an increase from the current $200 penalty for a first offense, according to CNBC.

Trump Says AI Data Centers Pledge Will Make Power Bills ‘Actually Come Down’

/2 Comments/in , , /by

President Donald Trump promised his data center pledge would lower Americans’ electricity bills.

Trump expanded his voluntary, nonbinding Ratepayer Protection Pledge on Thursday, the Associated Press reported. Signed by 23 governors, 55 utility companies and 27 data center companies, the pledge asks tech companies to cover their own power costs, according to the White House’s official Ratepayer Pledge page.

“Electricity bills for American families will actually come down,” Trump said, according to the AP. “They’re going to have a lot of electricity left over, and they’ll put that into the grid.”

Energy trends complicate that claim. “Residential electricity rates could rise 15% to 40% over the next five years,” the ICF, an energy consulting firm, said in a May 2025 analysis of select U.S. utilities.

“President Trump expanded his Ratepayer Protection Pledge to governors, legislators, developers, and power providers to ensure everyone involved in building and powering data centers covers their own costs instead of passing them on to American families,” White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A South Carolina man who admitted to threatening to assassinate Republican South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace will avoid prison time after receiving a sentence that includes house arrest and probation.

Samuel Theodore Cain, a biological man who identifies as a transgender woman named “Roxie Wolfe,” posted to X on April 26, 2025, that he was going to assassinate Mace with a gun, according to a May press release on Mace’s website.

“I’M GOING TO ASSASSINATE REPRESENTATIVE NANCY MACE WITH A GUN AND I’M BEING 100% DEAD ASS,” Cain posted, according to the press release.

Cain was arrested in May 2025 and attempted to bond out three times but was consistently denied and was brought to tears as a result, The Post Millennial reported.

The activist eventually pleaded guilty and was sentenced Tuesday to five years in prison, which was then suspended in favor of 30 months of house arrest followed by five years of probation, according to The Post Millennial.
