Chinese Official Reportedly Seeking Talks With Trump on Fentanyl Ingredients Amid Trade War

A top Chinese government official is asking what the Trump administration wants the communist nation to do about chemicals used to make fentanyl amid an ongoing trade war between the world’s two largest economies.

Wang Xiaohong, China’s minister of public security, has been making inquiries about what Trump wants China to do about the fentanyl issue over the last few days, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday.

Chinese companies produce precursors, large quantities of chemicals that eventually flow to Mexican drug cartels, which then make fentanyl and smuggle it into the United States.

Beijing could possibly have Wang meet with senior Trump administration officials in a neutral country, the newspaper reported.

Trump has tried to persuade China, Mexico and Canada to do more to combat the flow of fentanyl into the U.S. (Read more from “Chinese Official Reportedly Seeking Talks With Trump on Fentanyl Ingredients Amid Trade War” HERE)

DOGE Uncovers Top 5 Most Outrageous Ways Government Has Thrown Your Tax Money Away

As President Donald Trump celebrated his 100th day in office this week, Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) said it has cut at least $160 billion in waste, fraud and abuse in the federal government.

When Trump signed an executive order establishing the agency on his Inauguration Day, DOGE set an ambitious goal of cutting $2 trillion from the federal budget.

According to the Office of Government Ethics, “special government employees” like Musk can work for the federal government no more than 130 days a year, which in Musk’s case will fall on May 30. He has already started pairing back his hours leading the controversial agency.

Fox News Channel’s “Jesse Watters Primetime” had the opportunity to see behind the curtain of Musk’s infamous DOGE, which Democrats have railed against and Republicans have celebrated since Trump returned to the White House this year. The “DOGE boys” reminded Watters on Thursday of some of the most shocking savings secured by the department this year. . .

Earlier this year, DOGE discovered the United States Institute of Peace (USIP) had transferred $132,000 to Mohammad Qasem Halimi, a former Taliban member who was Afghanistan’s former Chief of Protocol. DOGE announced on March 31 that the contract was canceled. (Read more from “DOGE Uncovers Top 5 Most Outrageous Ways Government Has Thrown Your Tax Money Away” HERE)

Trans Swimmer Crushes Female Opponents, Take Five Medals at Championship Event

A man who identifies as a woman has won five gold medals in a women’s swimming championship in an event dubbed a “real-life South Park episode.”

Swimmer Ana Caldas tore through the opposition in the 45-49 age group at the U.S. Masters Swimming Spring National Championship held in San Antonio, Texas, last weekend. Not only did he win all his competitions, but it wasn’t even close, as his times came in far ahead of his opponents.

For instance, in the 50 and 100-yard breaststroke, Caldas posted a time four seconds faster than the second-place winner. And in the 100-yard freestyle event, Caldas beat the next closest swimmer by three seconds.

Video of the meet shows just how far ahead Caldas was of the second-place winner:

Women’s sports advocate Riley Gaines was appalled by the event, writing on X that “A man who goes by the name Ana swam five events at the U.S. Masters Swimming National Championship. He won them all. Real life South Park episode.”

Failed Dem Candidate Who Allegedly Talked About Killing Trump Arrested in Child Sex Trafficking Sting in Georgia

Georgia authorities arrested 19 men over the course of a four-day sting operation aimed at flushing out sexual predators keen to molest and/or traffic children. Among those charged was a failed Democratic politician who apparently previously discussed killing President Donald Trump online.

While ultimately executed from April 24 to 28 by the Muscogee County Sheriff’s Office, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, and the Georgia Internet Crimes against Children Task Force, Operation Lights Out was apparently the result of months of planning and the collaboration of 12 law enforcement agencies at the federal, state, and local levels, including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the U.S. Secret Service.

Undercover investigators posing as children engaged in conversation with various suspects on social media, dating websites, and other online platforms. In a number of exchanges, suspects allegedly “directed conversations with the child toward sex.”

According to the GBI, 35 cases were established that met the threshold for arrest on the basis of the investigators’ interactions online. However, in the 19 cases that ultimately resulted in arrests, suspects attempted to meet the “child” in person.

In some of these cases, suspects provided authorities additional cause to make an arrest, allegedly sharing pornography and other obscene content to the individual they figured for a child or asking the “child” to produce and send child pornography.

Alleged Tesla Arsonist Freed From Jail to Continue ‘Gender-Affirming Care’

A Massachusetts college student charged with setting Tesla vehicles and chargers on fire in Missouri has been freed from custody in part to proceed with sex change procedures she began on the month of the alleged attacks.

A federal judge ordered 19-year-old Owen McIntire into home detention at her parents’ house, which she can leave for reasons including medical and “mental health treatment,” after her attorney filed a motion arguing why she should be freed from jail. The document reveals that McIntire is another of several transgender-identifying people charged with anti-Tesla attacks since Tesla CEO Elon Musk joined the Trump administration.

“Medically, Owen faces serious and ongoing needs,” McIntire’s attorney wrote to a Massachusetts court on April 23. “He takes daily medications for depression and ADHD and has consistently demonstrated insight into his diagnoses and compliance with his treatment. He also receives gender-affirming medical care, which began in March of this year and is likely to be interrupted or terminated entirely if he remains in pretrial detention.”

The filing says McIntire has “deep ties to [the] community” in Boston and describes her as an active student throughout her childhood, taking ballet from age 8 to 15 before apparently realizing she wanted to be transgender sometime later. She remains “medically and psychologically vulnerable” and should therefore be released, the attorney’s motion said.

McIntire’s attorney and the DOJ did not respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation. (Read more from “Alleged Tesla Arsonist Freed From Jail to Continue ‘Gender-Affirming Care’” HERE)

White House Budget Proposes 65% Increase in Border Security Spending

President Donald Trump’s 2026 budget proposal would increase border security funding by 65%, marking the largest investment in homeland security in history, a senior White House official said.

The White House unveiled its $1.7 trillion budget for the 2026 fiscal year, proposing about $163 billion in cuts to domestic programs, as well as a 13% increase in defense spending and that 65% increase in border spending. Fiscal 2026 begins Oct. 1. The federal budget deficit for fiscal year 2025 was $1.83 trillion.

On average, federal agencies will face budget cuts of 35%.

The budget commits $175 billion to fully secure the border. For defense spending, the president proposes an increase of 13% to $1.01 trillion for fiscal year 2026, an amount on par with the defense spending of the Reagan administration and the first Trump administration.

The budget cuts also reduce foreign aid by $49 billion. Foreign aid was destabilizing the countries receiving it because nonprofits receiving funding pushed radical woke ideology and sometimes advocated for regime changes, a White House official said on a background call for members of the media.

Trump Mocks Trans Athletes in Women’s Sports to Roaring Applause at Commencement

President Donald Trump stirred the hearts of the University of Alabama graduates when he reaffirmed his promise to “keep men out of women’s sports.”

During a commencement speech at the university’s graduation ceremony on Thursday night, Trump gave a shutout to the school’s SEC champion women’s track and field team before igniting a raucous applause by “vowing to defend women’s sports.”

“As long as I’m president, we will always protect women’s sports. Men will not play in women’s sports,” Trump said before the crowd erupted in cheers for its loudest and longest applause of the night.

“No way. They say it’s an 80-20 issue. No, it’s a 97-3 issue, I think,” Trump said. “No, men will not be playing in women’s sports. I said that, and I classified it with a very powerful executive order, as you know. It’s done.”

‘Chilling’: Trump Officials Kill Biden’s Persecution of Ranching Family

The administration of President Donald Trump has killed a Joe Biden plan that involved persecuting a multi-generation South Dakota ranching family with huge legal fees and even threats of jail.

“No family farmer or rancher should have to go through what the Maude family did,” explained Buck Wehrbein, a Nebraska cattleman and president of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association. “The targeted prosecution of the Maude family was way out of line for the U.S. Forest Service, and this was a clear example of government overreach that had direct, catastrophic impacts for a hardworking fifth-generation ranching family.”

It was under Biden’s administration that a dispute arose over a fenceline on land the family had ranched for more than a century.

Family members actively were involved in discussions to do an assessment of the problem, if there was one, and reach a resolution.

But then the U.S. Forest Service dispatched armed federal agents to serve each Maude family member with a federal summons for theft, even though the management of the boundary line and parcel in question hadn’t been changed since the early 1900s.

Elon Musk Accuses Wall Street Journal of ‘Extremely Bad Breach of Ethics’ Over Report Tesla Is Searching to Replace Him

Billionaire tech entrepreneur Elon Musk excoriated the Wall Street Journal over an article that made allegedly false claims that Tesla was looking to replace him as CEO.

The Journal claimed that the electric vehicle company had been searching for a new CEO and that the board told Musk he needed to spend more time at the company to reassure investors as well as the public.

On Wednesday, Musk vehemently denied the claims about his company.

“It is an EXTREMELY BAD BREACH OF ETHICS that the @WSJ would publish a DELIBERATELY FALSE ARTICLE and fail to include an unequivocal denial beforehand by the Tesla board of directors!” wrote Musk on the X platform, which he also owns.

He included a statement from Robyn Denholm, the chair of the board of directors at Tesla Motors, denying the report.

“Earlier today, there was a media report erroneously claiming that the Tesla Board had contacted recruitment firms to initiate a CEO search at the company,” read the statement.

Democrats’ Case for Deported ‘Maryland Dad’ Implodes

It appears the legacy media and the Democrat (I repeat myself) narrative about the deported El Salvadoran “Maryland dad” is reaching its endgame as more information about his behavior comes to light.

According to multiple reports, House Democrat Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has privately told fellow Democrats to stop taking junkets down to El Salvador to visit the deported man in prison to perform supposed “welfare checks.” Jeffries has denied the report, but it wouldn’t be surprising.

In case you’ve been living under a rock, this long saga is about Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an alleged MS-13 gang member who was deported back to his home country as the Trump administration prioritizes deporting illegal aliens who are convicted criminals and gang members.

Democrats have been caught between two messages.

The first is that Abrego Garcia’s due process rights were violated because a 2019 court order said he couldn’t go back to El Salvador due to threats from a rival gang (a gang that has since been nearly obliterated by the country’s tough-on-crime president).
