Trump Admin Ends All Beagle Experimentation at NIH

Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, President Donald Trump’s director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), announced the closure of the agency’s last remaining beagle experiment lab over the weekend after former NIH physician Dr. Anthony Fauci’s horrific beagle-testing scandal was exposed.

“It’s very easy, for instance, to cure Alzheimer’s in mice. But those things don’t translate to humans,” Bhattacharya told Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy on Sunday:

“So we put forward a policy to replace animals in research with technological advances, AI and other tools, that actually translate better to human health.”

When he made the announcement that “We got rid of all of the beagle experiments on NIH campus,” Campus-Duffy said, “Amen.”

NIH confirmed the move on social media, saying it has enacted an “initiative to expand innovative, human-based science while reducing animal use in research, including getting rid of all the beagle experiments on the NIH campus.” (Read more from “Trump Admin Ends All Beagle Experimentation at NIH” HERE)

Newly Released Emails Show Politicized FBI Targeting Trump Officials For Obeying The Law

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, has released a series of emails from 2022 showing the FBI attempted to crush a member of the first Trump administration for refusing to bow to the Jan. 6 Committee’s unlawful demands.

Grassley explains the emails in an April 29 letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel.

“My office has obtained Biden administration emails regarding the investigation and later prosecution of Peter Navarro,” Grassley wrote. “These communications provide a behind-the-scenes snapshot of some of the actions taken by the FBI’s Washington Field Office (WFO) to investigate Navarro for contempt of Congress and obstruction.”

Navarro was an adviser to President Donald Trump in his first term. Because of his close access to Trump, the highly partisan “House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol” gave Navarro a subpoena to appear in front of them to present testimony and documents about what happened that day.

He did not appear. Neither did White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Communications Dan Scavino, former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, or former Trump adviser Steve Bannon. They refused to do so because the Jan. 6 Committee was illegally established and lacked the legal authority to issue subpoenas.

White House Budget Features ‘Historic’ Increases In Defense Spending, Slashes Woke Funding

The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) released President Donald Trump’s discretionary budget request for the fiscal year 2026 on Friday, showing big increases in border and defense spending as well as massive cuts to woke funding priorities instituted by President Joe Biden’s administration.

The new budget reduces non-defense discretionary spending by $163 billion, or 23%, from the 2025 enacted level. That is the lowest non-defense spending level since 2017, according to OMB.

At the same time, defense spending will be increased by 13% under the proposed budget, and appropriations for the Department of Homeland Security will be increased by almost 65%, OMB said. In a release, OMB said that the increases in funding are “to ensure that our military and other agencies repelling the invasion of our border have the resources they need to complete the mission.”

The funding increases will be achieved if the “One Big Beautiful Bill” passes. OMB said in a release that it will be enacted “with a simple majority in the Congress,” and warns against Democrats holding it hostage “for wasteful spending increases that have been the status quo in Washington.”

“For decades, the biggest complaint about the Federal Budget was wasteful spending and bloated bureaucracy,” Russ Vought, director of the Office of Management and Budget, said in a statement on Friday morning. “But over the last four years, Government spending aggressively turned against the American people and trillions of our dollars were used to fund cultural Marxism, radical Green New Scams, and even our own invasion.” (Read more from “White House Budget Features ‘Historic’ Increases In Defense Spending, Slashes Woke Funding” HERE)

Chinese Slavery-Linked Temu Halts Shipments From China to U.S.

Chinese discount shopping website Temu has halted shipments of goods from China to the United States, as President Donald Trump ended a loophole last month that had allowed duties, or tariffs, to be lifted on small shipments.

The Wall Street Journal reported that a Temu spokesperson confirmed that the company would not be shipping goods from China to U.S., and explained that the “shift is part of Temu’s ongoing adjustments to improve service levels.”

Per the outlet, in “recent days,” Temu has been “shifted to labeling everything as ‘local,’ meaning items that had already been imported to the U.S. in bulk and are sitting in U.S. warehouses:

In recent days, its website shifted to labeling everything as “local,” meaning items that had already been imported to the U.S. in bulk and are sitting in U.S. warehouses. Those items are typically more expensive than products that came under the de minimis provision and were shipped directly to consumers.

In a White House fact sheet from April 2, it was revealed that Trump had signed an executive order “eliminating duty-free de minimis treatment to low-value imports from China.”

Tough-Talking China Could Be Opening the Door to Tariff Talks

China may be warming to the possibility of holding talks with the U.S. on tariffs, following a statement from the Chinese Commerce Ministry on Friday.

“The U.S. has recently taken the initiative on many occasions to convey information to China through relevant parties, saying it hopes to talk with China,” the ministry statement translated by Reuters said, adding that Beijing was “evaluating this.”

What observers are calling a “shift in tone” may present an off ramp for the world’s two largest economies to avoid an ongoing trade war that has impacted markets worldwide.

However, the ministry also warned that “attempting to use talks as a pretext to engage in coercion and extortion would not work.”

President Donald Trump’s decision to single Beijing out for import duties of 145 percent comes at a particularly difficult time for China, which is struggling with deflation due to sluggish economic growth and a prolonged property crisis, analysts say.

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)
