Trump Administration Revokes 4,000 Visas for Students With Criminal Records for Assault, Robbery: ‘Breaking the Law With No Consequences’

/4 Comments/in , /by

The Trump administration has revoked the visas of 4,000 foreign students in its first 100 days — the bulk of which have committed crimes in the US including arson, assault and robbery, The Post has learned.

More than 90% of the rogue students who saw their visas nixed had committed crimes such as arson, wildlife and human trafficking, child endangerment, domestic abuse, DUI and robbery, a senior State Department source told The Post Monday. More than 500 of them had assault raps.

“They came and they were breaking the law with no consequences,” said the source.

“We set up a special action team to handle this.”

The State Department worked with the Department of Homeland Security, which tapped into their databases and compared that information with existing law enforcement records.

Chinese National Accused of Voting in U.S. Election Skips Hearing, Prompting Bench Warrant

/1 Comment/in , /by

A Chinese national accused of voting in the 2024 election in Michigan now faces a bench warrant after he failed to attend a hearing last week.

Haoxiang Gao, a 20-year-old Chinese national with a green card, was supposed to show up for a hearing in district court on Thursday but never appeared, prompting Judge J. Cedric Simpson to issue a bench warrant for his arrest. Simpson decided to issue the bench warrant after conferring with Gao’s lawyer, K. Orlando Simón.

Gao’s legal ordeal began back on October 27 at the University of Michigan, where he apparently registered to vote and cast a ballot on the same day. He used his UM student ID card to prove local residency, Michigan Enjoyer learned after submitting several public information requests about the incident.

He must have had some misgivings about his actions because he then called the Ann Arbor clerk’s office, inquiring about whether green-card holders were eligible to vote. When the staff member explained that green-card holders were ineligible to vote, Gao allegedly claimed he knew of someone who had voted using their green card at the University of Michigan Museum of Art.

Gao then called the clerk’s office back 20 minutes later and admitted that he was the person who had voted and that he had “lied on the forms and attested to being a U.S. citizen,” according to an email from Ann Arbor clerk Jacqueline Beaudry.

Potty-Mouthed Democrats Use Profanity in Attempt to Snag Votes

/0 Comments/in , /by

The typically euphemistic language of politics is increasingly being replaced by profanity as the midterms loom and Democrat candidates are dropping F-bombs and other expletives in their ads and appearances.

The trend is not limited to campaigning. Certain words such as “ass” and “pissed,” previously unheard for decades in the stodgy Capitol, are making their appearance in speeches on the floors of Congress.

One lawmaker, Texas Democrat Jasmine Crockett, has drawn extensive media coverage as she’s forged a reputation using the kind of language one expects to hear in the mean streets.

One lexicography expert says the trend is born out of frustration. Michael Adams, author of In Praise of Profanity, told the Hill, “I think that in the case of the Democratic candidates … the swearing reflects their sense of crisis. There’s just a point at which the usual vocabulary will not be sufficiently expressive in the moment.”

But others say it is a cynical attempt to snag voters. A spokesperson for the National Republican Senatorial Committee hit back, arguing that Democrats “seem obsessed with saying ‘f—ing’ and ‘a–’ as the strategy to win back the voters that rejected them in 2024.” (Read more from “Potty-Mouthed Democrats Use Profanity in Attempt to Snag Votes” HERE)

Jeffrey Epstein Victim Virginia Giuffre’s Lawyer Casts Doubt on Her Suicide: ‘We’ve Got Big Question Marks Over It’

/1 Comment/in , /by

A lawyer for Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre — who killed herself at her home in Australia — has cast doubt on her suicide, insisting, “We’ve got big question marks over it.”

Karrie Louden claimed the 41-year-old mother had shown no sign she wanted to harm herself before she was found dead at her farm in Western Australia last Friday.

“When I got the phone call, I was like, ‘Are you joking?’ Because there was no sign that that was something she was considering,” the lawyer told the Sun.

Louden, who had represented Giuffre since January, expressed skepticism over her family’s shocking announcement that she had taken her own life.

“There’s suicide and then there’s misadventure,” Louden claimed.

“I didn’t see her in the room. I wasn’t in there. The family said what the family has said but I’m not going to speculate whether it was suicide or accidental.” (Read more from “Jeffrey Epstein Victim Virginia Giuffre’s Lawyer Casts Doubt on Her Suicide: ‘We’ve Got Big Question Marks Over It’” HERE)

White House Official Who Worked for Six Presidents Says One ‘Unsecured the Border on Purpose’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The White House kicked off its celebration of President Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office by highlighting its efforts to combat illegal immigration on Monday.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement chief Tom Homan joined White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt at an early morning briefing on Monday. The pair touted massive decreases in border crossings as well as new executive orders aimed at deportations and further border enforcement.

“We are in the process of carrying out the largest deportation campaign in American history,” Leavitt said. “After four years of being vilified by the Biden-Harris administration, our heroic ICE officers can finally do their jobs.”

Homan joined Leavitt and accused the Biden administration of having “unsecured the border on purpose,” despite receiving a very secure border from the first Trump administration.

“Look, I started on the Border Patrol in 1984. I’ve been at this for over 40 years. I’ve worked for six presidents, starting with Ronald Reagan. Every president I’ve ever worked for took border security seriously because you can’t have national security if you don’t have strong border security. We’ve gotta know who’s coming, what’s coming, where its coming and why its coming in, right?” (Read more from “White House Official Who Worked for Six Presidents Says One ‘Unsecured the Border on Purpose'” HERE)

Trump’s Push to Restore American ‘Heroes’ Gets $30 Million Boost

/2 Comments/in , /by

Buried beneath his fights to tame the federal bureaucracy, deport illegal immigrants and rewrite environmental policy is President Trump’s quiet pursuit of a longtime passion: reviving traditional views of American history and its heroes.

Executive orders have sent officials scrambling to restore monuments torn down by Black Lives Matter protests, to create a sculpture garden celebrating “American heroes” and to revive the classical architecture of federal buildings.

All are issues Mr. Trump championed in his first term, but it was too late to make much of a difference.

He is hitting them early this time, and for good reason.

Mr. Trump wants the statue garden ready for next year’s 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. The National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Endowment for the Arts have announced a $30 million contest to pay for statues to populate the garden.

The president said he wants 250 statues and mandated dozens of specific names, including Neil Armstrong, Julia Child, Muhammad Ali, Dolly Madison, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and Ronald Reagan. (Read more from “Trump’s Push to Restore American ‘Heroes’ Gets $30 Million Boost” HERE)

‘Sick’: Trump Wants Biggest Media Pollsters Investigated for Election Fraud, Including Fox News

/1 Comment/in , , /by

President Donald Trump says pollsters for major media companies including the New York Times, Washington Post and Fox News should be investigated for election fraud, as he expresses outrage at recent surveys about his approval rating.

In a Monday message on Truth Social, Trump stated: “Great Pollster John McLaughlin, one of the most highly respected in the industry, has just stated that The Failing New York Times Poll, and the ABC/Washington Post Poll, about a person named DONALD J. TRUMP, ME, are FAKE POLLS FROM FAKE NEWS ORGANIZATIONS.

“The New York Times has only 37% Trump 2024 voters, and the ABC/Washington Post Poll has only 34% Trump Voters, unheard of numbers unless looking for a negative result, which they are.

“These people should be investigated for ELECTION FRAUD, and add in the FoxNews Pollster while you’re at it. They are Negative Criminals who apologize to their subscribers and readers after I WIN ELECTIONS BIG, much bigger than their polls showed I would win, loose (sic) a lot of credibility, and then go on cheating and lying for the next cycle, only worse.

Millions in Spain, Portugal Left Without Electricity After ‘Rare Atmospheric Phenomenon’ Causes Widespread Power Cuts

/1 Comment/in , /by

Millions in Spain and Portugal have been left without electricity after widespread power cuts blamed on a “rare atmospheric phenomenon,” with officials warning that it may take up to a week for things to get back to normal.

There is “no indication” that a cyber attack is behind Monday’s large-scale power cuts, Portugal’s Prime Minister Luis Montenegro told reporters on Monday.

The cause of the power cut is still unknown, but it is clear that it “did not originate in Portugal,” Montenegro said.

A “rare atmospheric phenomenon” was blamed for the outages, which affected millions, Portugal’s grid operator, Rede Eletrica Nacional (REN), said in a statement.

“Due to extreme temperature variations in the interior of Spain, there were anomalous oscillations in the very high voltage lines, a phenomenon known as ‘induced atmospheric vibration,’” the statement continued.

Liberals Loathe Arrival of ‘MAGA Media’ Inside the White House

/1 Comment/in , /by

The New York Times recently published a hissy fit about the White House allowing reporters into the Briefing Room who didn’t vote for Kamala Harris. Here was the amazing protest sentence: “Longtime White House reporters say the result has been an erosion of their independence.”

The presence of a reporter who didn’t vote Democrat doesn’t “erode” the anti-Trump animus (“independence”) of liberal activist journalists. It might balance it, suggesting journalism and liberalism are not exactly the same thing.

This spurred a trend. Politico’s Ian Ward profiled these invaders under the headline “Meet the 8 MAGA Outlets Disrupting the White House Briefing Room.” It carried the usual labeling about “the divide between the MAGA-friendly media and their more mainstream counterparts.” The extreme hatred of Trump is “more mainstream.”

Then came CNN’s Donie O’Sullivan, who loves to wade into MAGA crowds, trying to find the dumbest-sounding Trump supporter he can find. In this case, he went looking for the dumbest-sounding White House reporter. The headline over the video was “‘Do you consider yourself a journalist?’ CNN meets MAGA media at White House.”

O’Sullivan showed clips of these pro-Trump reporters admitting their bias, and he proclaimed, “These are White House correspondents like you’ve never seen before.” Really? He spotlighted Cara Castronuova of Lindell TV asking if they’ll release Trump’s fitness routine, since he “actually looks healthier than ever before.” In 2009, a Washington Post reporter touted Barack Obama’s “chiseled pectorals.” (Read more from “Liberals Loathe Arrival of ‘MAGA Media’ Inside the White House” HERE)

Trump Launches Broadside Against American Bar Association’s Accreditation Monopoly

/0 Comments/in , /by

The American Bar Association, which for now has been the only “federally recognized accreditor for Juris Doctor programs,” through its Council of the Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar, soon may be losing a huge amount of its influence on American lawyers.

Because others may be able to offer law schools accreditation.

The move would be a massive blow to the significance of the ABA, which has positioned itself as an extreme leftist in American society in recent years.

An analysis recently called it a “proxy for the left wing of the American legal community,” and it said the ABA has been using its power as a monopoly “to promote an ideological agenda.”

The change is being done through an Executive Order from President Donald Trump.

That order said, “The American Bar Association’s Council of the Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar (Council), which is the sole federally recognized accreditor for Juris Doctor programs, has required law schools to ‘demonstrate by concrete action a commitment to diversity and inclusion’ including by ‘commit[ting] to having a student body [and faculty] that is diverse with respect to gender, race, and ethnicity.’ As the Attorney General has concluded and informed the Council, the discriminatory requirement blatantly violates the Supreme Court’s decision in Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. President and Fellows of Harvard College, 600 U.S. 181 (2023). Though the Council subsequently suspended its enforcement while it considers proposed revisions, this standard and similar unlawful mandates must be permanently eradicated.” (Read more from “Trump Launches Broadside Against American Bar Association’s Accreditation Monopoly” HERE)
