HUD Probes Whether Pronoun, Vaccine Police Discriminated Against Christians

Last month, Attorney General Pam Bondi convened the first meeting of the Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias in the federal government. The initiative follows on the heels of President Trump’s executive order signed in early February “to protect the religious freedoms of Americans and end the anti-Christian weaponization of government.”

Bondi noted a long line of abuses in the Biden administration.

“Biden’s Department of Justice abused and targeted Christians. Pro-life Christians were arrested and imprisoned for peacefully praying outside abortion clinics. The FBI spied on traditional Catholics in their parishes,” the attorney general said, noting President Joe Biden issued a proclamation celebrating Transgender Day of Visibility on Easter Sunday.

Acting to fulfill the president’s executive order, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is asking its employees, contractors, and subcontractors to provide information “regarding any HUD or individual policies, practices, or conduct involving anti-religious bias” during the Biden administration and to make recommendations on how to remedy acts of bias.

The Task Force will collect information and ideas from federal employees, including HUD staff, that have experienced anti-Christian bias or other forms of religious discrimination. The task force will then compile a report on its findings. (Read more from “HUD Probes Whether Pronoun, Vaccine Police Discriminated Against Christians” HERE)

Hegseth Orders Purge of Senior Commanders, Cutting 20% of Four-Star Generals and Admirals

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered the Pentagon to cut 20% of four-star generals and admirals.

The high number of senior generals and admirals has been a source of criticism among both analysts and President Donald Trump, who has portrayed it as a symptom of a bloated and inefficient military. On Monday, Hegseth announced the promised cut of four-star generals and admirals, detailing the move in a memo obtained by the Washington Examiner.

Trump Makes Move To Super-Charge Deportations Using Local Cops

The Trump administration is taking a major step to super-charge deportation efforts by deputizing law enforcement across the country to carry out immigration enforcement, a Department of Homeland Security memo exclusively reviewed by The Daily Wire reveals.

The memo lays out that DHS has signed 562 agreements with state and local law enforcement groups, taking advantage of a federal law that allows the agencies to enforce certain aspects of immigration law. While these sorts of agreements existed in the previous administration, the number of agreements signed since Trump took office is already a 316% increase from what was signed during four years of the Biden administration, the memo says.

The agreements could be one of the biggest keys to boosting deportation numbers, which members of the administration have reportedly grown frustrated with. With an estimated 18.6 million illegal aliens currently present in the United States and a judiciary that has continuously stonewalled the Trump administration’s attempts to deport illegal aliens, the federal government may otherwise struggle to remove a significant share of the illegal population without support from law enforcement partners.

Under the agreement, state and local law enforcement agencies are able to conduct immigration enforcement operations with ICE oversight, use federal immigration databases to identify the status of arrestees, and initiate ICE detainers to hold illegal aliens until ICE can gain custody of them, providing what could be a massive force multiplier in the Trump administration’s effort to deport at least one million illegal aliens per year.

Food Brands Freak Out After MAHA App Exposes Unhealthy Snacks

Big food brands are bellyaching over consumers’ use of food scanning apps to vet the healthiness of their products, according to a Sunday article in the Wall Street Journal (WSJ).

Zooming in on one app in particular, the French-founded Yuka, WSJ’s article delves into the growing phenomenon of health-conscious consumers using mobile apps to evaluate their food choices at the grocery store.

The article lays out how a number of massive food brands have had to respond to receiving low scores from apps like Yuka.

Multiple large food manufacturers, including iconic brands like Campbell’s and Chobani, have responded to consumer feedback from users of the apps, according to the WSJ.

Chobani removed dipotassium phosphate, an additive which Yuka says can increase health risks if over-consumed, from some of its oat milk products, WSJ reported.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves the use of dipotassium phosphate — a synthetically-produced emulsifier that prevents clumping — in food products under the Generally Regarded As Safe (GRAS) standards. Some health experts, like biologist Gary Brecka, warn that the additive can disrupt calcium balance, bone health, and cardiovascular function.

Propublica Awarded Pulitzer After Blaming Georgia Woman’s Abortion Pill Death on Pro-Life Laws

If Americans needed further proof that the Pulitzer Prize has become nothing more than a glorified gold sticker given to the media’s biggest left-wing propagandists, the award’s 2025 winners are sure to convince them.

Included in the batch of this year’s winners is none other than ProPublica, a left-wing outlet reportedly bankrolled by leftist mega-donors and notorious for running interference for the Democrat Party and its allies. Several of the outlet’s writers won a Pulitzer last year for their dishonest smear campaign against Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

The Pulitzer given to ProPublica this year is equally, if not more, reprehensible.

According to the Associated Press, ProPublica’s Kavitha Surana, Lizzie Presser, Cassandra Jaramillo, and Stacy Kranitz were awarded for what the AP characterizes as “reporting on pregnant women who died after doctors delayed urgent care in states with strict abortion laws.” What the Associated Press declines to mention, however, is that ProPublica’s “reporting” was left-wing propaganda designed to vilify life-saving pro-life laws in states across the country.

As The Federalist’s Jordan Boyd reported, ProPublica ran a story by Surana less than two months before the 2024 general election of a Georgia woman named Amber Thurman and her unborn twins. While Thurman “died in 2022 after … suffer[ing] untreated complications from the dangerous drug regimen responsible for more than half of the nation’s abortions,” ProPublica “blam[ed] confusion about Georgia’s lifesaving abortion limits for [her] death.” (Read more from “Propublica Awarded Pulitzer After Blaming Georgia Woman’s Abortion Pill Death on Pro-Life Laws” HERE)

Trump Orders Feds to Reopen Alcatraz to House ‘America’s Most Ruthless and Violent’ Criminals

President Donald Trump is calling for the notorious prison and now historical landmark, Alcatraz, in San Francisco, California, to be rebuilt larger and reopened to house the country’s most ruthless and violent criminals.

Trump made the announcement in a Truth Social post on Sunday evening.

“REBUILD, AND OPEN ALCATRAZ!” the president said. “For too long, America has been plagued by vicious, violent, and repeat Criminal Offenders, the dregs of society, who will never contribute anything other than Misery and Suffering.

“When we were a more serious Nation, in times past, we did not hesitate to lock up the most dangerous criminals, and keep them far away from anyone they could harm,” Trump continued, adding that it’s supposed to be this way. “No longer will we tolerate these Serial Offenders who spread filth, bloodshed, and mayhem on our streets.”

Trump said he is directing the Bureau of Prisons, Department of Justice, FBI and Department of Homeland Security to reopen a “substantially enlarged and rebuilt” Alcatraz, “to house America’s most ruthless and violent offenders.” (Read more from “Trump Orders Feds to Reopen Alcatraz to House ‘America’s Most Ruthless and Violent’ Criminals” HERE)

Colorado Democrats Push Trans Bill That Was Too Radical For California

Colorado’s “Kelly Loving Act” (HB 1312) is truly one of the most radical, extreme, and anti-family bills ever proposed in our nation’s 249-year history. And that might be an understatement.

HB 1312 purports to provide “legal protections for transgender individuals.” In reality, it facilitates the state ripping children away from their parents if they refuse to go along with their child’s desire to “socially” or “medically transition.”

Indeed, HB 1312’s Section 2 prohibits parents from “misgendering” or “deadnaming” their child from the moment they choose to adopt a new identity. The bill likens such horrible practices — such as parents calling their child by the name they lovingly chose for them — to “abuse” equivalent to “threatening, humiliating, or [other] intimidating actions, including assaults or other abuse.”

If parents refuse, Colorado’s courts could step in and remove the child from their parent’s custody.

The legislation’s Sections 8 and 9 also adds “deadnaming” and “misgendering” to the state’s Anti-Discrimination Act, the same law that was used by the radical Colorado Civil Rights Commission to go after Christian cake artist Jack Phillips. Such a provision would censor the speech of businesses and employees across the state, forcing them to utter falsehoods they know to be untrue — or else.

Critics: Deep State UFO Darling Luis Elizondo Revealed as the Fraud He Is

In a small Capitol Hill briefing room, amid talk of extraterrestrials and national security, a former intelligence officer held up a photograph he deemed worthy of the utmost consideration.

“This was taken by a civilian pilot,” said Luis “Lue” Elizondo, a former U.S. Army counterintelligence officer turned UFO disclosure advocate. He squinted at the printout in his hands. “You’d think this information would be important for somebody to look at.

”The grainy image appeared to show a disc-shaped, silvery object floating high above the arid expanse of the American Southwest. Elizondo told attendees it could be anywhere from 600 to 1,000 feet wide. The sighting of the huge object, he said, had occurred at an altitude of 21,000 feet near the Four Corners region where Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico meet. . .

Elizondo’s presentation was meant to reinforce the idea that aliens are among us. Instead, it unraveled within hours.

The photograph quickly made its way to Reddit, where users in the UFO-friendly and aptly named r/UFOs forum took a closer look. One member, mattperkins86, compared it to satellite imagery and pinpointed the spot near Colorado Springs. The supposed “UFO,” it turned out, matched the shape and arrangement of two adjacent, perfectly circular crop fields.

Notably, the darker of the two fields appeared as a shadow under the brighter one — an optical illusion caused by their arrangement and lighting. “Not even a crop circle,” one user scoffed. “Just regular crops in a circle.” (Read more from “Critics: Deep State UFO Darling Luis Elizondo Revealed as the Fraud He Is” HERE)

ICE Nabs Rapists, Child Predators, Gang Members In Deportation Blitz

During the week marking President Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office, ICE agents carried out a series of high-profile arrests of migrants with criminal records, according to a document first shared with the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Starting the week of his 100-day mark, booking photos of illegal migrants with convictions or pending charges were displayed along the White House north lawn’s perimeter. Throughout the week, ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) made major arrests across the country, with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) releasing details and photos of five of their most significant cases.

“Every single day I receive a report on my desk of the murderers, rapists, child abusers, and other sickos that our ICE enforcement agents are arresting around the country,” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem wrote on a social media post while showing additional arrests. “Under President Trump, we have arrested over 150,000 aliens—including more than 600 members of the vicious Tren de Aragua gang. If you are here illegally and break the law, we will hunt you down, arrest you and lock you up.”

ERO Detroit arrested Ludwig Ivan Castaneda-Gonzalez, a 33-year-old Mexican national, this week in Holland, Michigan. According to DHS, Castaneda-Gonzalez’s criminal history includes a conviction for criminal sexual conduct involving a person aged 13 to 15, which encompasses all sex offenses under Michigan law.

Trump Names Possible Successors And Gives Answer On Third Term

President Donald Trump hinted at who might carry the torch after his administration, offering praise for Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio — while saying he’s not eyeing a third term.

In a May 4 interview on NBC’s Meet the Press, Trump was asked about his political future and the next generation of Republican leadership.

“It’s far too early to say that. But, you know, I do have a vice president … and JD’s doing a fantastic job,” Trump said. “I don’t want to get involved in that. I think he’s a fantastic, brilliant guy. Marco is great. There’s a lot of them that are great. We have a lot of good people in this party.”

While some corners of the conservative movement have pushed for Trump to explore a third term — despite the clear constraints of the 22nd Amendment — the president appeared to downplay the possibility. (Read more from “Trump Names Possible Successors And Gives Answer On Third Term” HERE)
