Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) issued a proclamation on Saturday declaring April as Arab American Heritage Month. Newsom’s statement comes as anti-Israel protests and encampments have sprouted up on university and college campuses across the United States, calling for a ceasefire in the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas, for the U.S. government to stop arming Israel, and for colleges to divest from Israeli companies.WATCH — Pro-Israel and Pro-Palestinian Protesters Clash at UCLA: (Video)

President Trump will host two campaign rallies in Waukesha, Wisconsin, and in Freeland, Michigan, today.
Trump will speak at his first stop at the Waukesha County Expo Center in Wisconsin at 3 pm ET.
He will later speak at Avflight Saginaw in Freeland, Michigan, at 6 pm ET. Doors to the event open at 2 pm. Register for tickets here!
These rallies come as a recent poll shows President Trump leading Joe Biden in 6 of the seven key swing states expected to determine the November General Election. Trump leads Biden by four points in Wisconsin and is down two points to Biden in Michigan, and
The Federal Reserve has voted to hold interest rates steady at their current 23-year-high, officials announced today.
The decision spells misery for households who are already struggling under the weight of soaring interest rates on credit cards, mortgages and personal loans.
It marks the sixth consecutive time that the Fed has chosen to keep rates at their current level as it battles to tame inflation.
The video player is currently playing an ad.
The rate of annual inflation rose to 3.5 percent in March, still well above the Fed's 2 percent target.
In a policy statement released today, the organization said rates will not be slashed until officials have 'greater confidence
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) could be the latest Democratic lawmaker to face a censure resolution in the House after Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) announced plans to condemn the hard-left lawmaker over her comments on pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses.
Bacon is set to introduce the resolution as early as Wednesday, although it remains unclear when the Nebraska Republican will seek to force a vote on the measure. The text has not yet been finalized for the resolution, although it’s likely to include Omar’s latest comments as well as past statements regarding Israel, according to a source familiar.
Joe Biden’s aides spliced a 24-second scripted video of the president eight times, raising concerns about whether he can deliver simple remarks without mistakes.
About one-third of Democrats doubt Biden’s mental fitness, a Harvard/Harris survey recently found.
Another poll revealed 82 percent of Americans harbor concerns about his physical and mental health.
Only about one-third of voters say Biden is physically or mentally fit to serve a second term, Quinnipiac found.
Politicians often record remarks on camera for social media, but few short videos are as heavily edited as Biden’s 24-second video.
US retailers confirmed another 169 closures last week - bringing the total so far this year up to almost 2,600.
Stores that announced the shuttering of locations included Express, Outfox Hospitality, Shop 'n Save, Urban Outfitters and Walmart.
Physical stores in shopping malls, strip malls, downtown centers and on main street in towns have been under threat from online retail and changing tastes.'Year to date, in 2024, major US retailers have announced 7.4 percent fewer openings and 12.3 percent more closures compared to the same time last year,' read a report by Coresight Research on closures announced over the week ending April 26.
The sad truth is that the majority-Democrat legislature is mostly filled with self-promoters, deal cutters, and parasites indebted to the three witches at the top of the food chain: the Lockdown Queen of America, FBI kidnap victim and CCP cheerleader, Democrat Governor Gretchen Whitmer, Democrat Attorney General Dana Nessel, who frequently uses lawfare to punish her political enemies and the dirtiest Democrat Secretary of State in America, Jocelyn Benson.If Senator Jim Runstead’s assessment of a bill that was passed in the Democrat-majority Senate today is accurate, it sure looks like MI SOS Jocelyn Benson, who’s been working overtime to manufacture new ways to cheat in the upcoming 2024 election,
The newly installed chairman of the Republican National Committee (RNC) is already backing down from his pledge to spend “every day” of 2024 to elect presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump as president again to instead spend most of Tuesday trying to save the embattled House Speaker Mike Johnson from justice, a report from Politico Playbook on Wednesday shows.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), an actual conservative and actual Republican, has been making moves against Johnson for his various betrayals in recent weeks including passing a bloated government funding plan that gave Democrats everything they wanted, casting the deciding vote for continuing warrantless surveillance of American citizens
The Department of Homeland Security revealed that it sent over 200,000 migrants on a controversial parole program to 45 cities across the United States between January and August 2023.
The policy, which was enacted in October 2022, allowed migrants who had not entered the country illegally to fly directly into America.
Migrants were also required to have a sponsor in the US and pass various vetting tests. It was initially announced for Venezuelans, before adding Haitians, Nicaraguans and Cubans amid one of the worst migrant crises in American history under President Joe Biden and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.
What do conservative Americans see in viewing the protests on college campuses currently? As one of them, I see the look of ignorance and failure.
I also see the real possibility that, one day soon, one of these protests will result in lives lost. You can’t view the escalation of intensity without smelling the scent of growing violence in the air.
Nor can you watch the following video shared on X by N.D. Wilson, whose son and his friend held the door against an angry mob made up of pro-Hamas students, and not fear for the safety of the two young men. The two locked arms to help protect Jewish students who
The 'Biden Bump' That Didn't Last Long

"The election is clearly changing now, moving towards Biden," the influential Democratic strategist Simon Rosenberg declared on March 26. "The Biden bump is real." For Republicans, Rosenberg is someone worth listening to; he was right about the nonexistent "red wave" that many in the GOP expected back in 2022. When he said the election was moving, it was worth noting.Now, though, the situation is a little more complicated. Ever since President Joe Biden's State of the Union address on March 7 -- the one in which he appeared to shout much of the time to prove his vigor -- Democrats have been hoping for
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) slammed Democrat New York City Mayor Eric Adams and the presidents of Columbia Univeristy.
Ocasio-Cortez responded to a post on X which referred to remarks made by Adams during a press conference earlier, in which he said the protest at Columbia University had been “co-opted by professional outside agitators.” “If any kid is hurt tonight, responsibility will fall on the mayor and univ presidents,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote. “Other leaders and schools have found a safe, de-escalatory path. This is the opposite of leadership and endangers public safety.”
Last month the Third US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that mail-in ballots with no dates cannot be counted by Pennsylvania election officials.
Democrats use this tactic frequently to add more ballots to their candidate’s totals following election day.
“Mailed ballots that arrive on time but in envelopes without dates handwritten by Pennsylvania voters or with incorrect dates should not be counted, a three-judge panel of the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Wednesday. Their 2-1 decision strikes down a lower court ruling.” NPR reported last month.
“The main legal issue surrounding what are often called “undated ballots”

After five days of anti-Israel demonstrators occupying Deering Meadow on Northwestern University’s campus, Northwestern president Michael Schill and the rest of the university’s leadership decided to accede to several of the protesters’ demands.
While not committing to divesting its endowment from companies that do business in Israel and ending partnerships with Israeli institutions, the university released a list of concessions in a celebratory statement Monday afternoon in exchange for the removal of the encampment on the lawn.
Most notable among those concessions is a promise to offer full-ride scholarships to Palestinian students and guaranteed faculty jobs for Palestinian academics.
Democrat strategist James Carville lashed out at woke young voters who have turned on President Joe Biden, saying they would have “no rights left” if former President Donald Trump were to win the election.
The former Clinton adviser made his position known in a video posted on Sunday. “So I hear this a lot: ‘James, young voters are just not into this. It’s two candidates — one’s in the 80s, one is almost in the 80s — they’re concerned about things that Washington politicians, and you just can’t blame them for’ — Oh, s***. F*** you!” Carville yelled.

Retake Hamilton Hall and Take Down Pro-Hamas Fanatics 34 replies
As RedState reported, things finally reached their breaking point at Columbia University on Tuesday night. After weeks of illegal trespassing by pro-Hamas fanatics that escalated to the storming, damaging, and occupying of Hamlitlon Hall, police finally got the green light to move in, and move in they did. According to the latest reports, the pro-Hamas "encampment" and Hamilton Hall have been cleared, with over 100 arrests being made. Videos are emerging of the raid and its aftermath, with dozens of "protesters" crying in horror as they face the consequences of their actions.
A fair warning that you may enjoy this a bit too much.
The Biden administration is considering bringing certain Palestinians to the U.S. as refugees, a move that would offer a permanent safe haven to some of those fleeing war-torn Gaza, according to internal federal government documents obtained by CBS News.
In recent weeks, the documents show, senior officials across several federal U.S. agencies have discussed the practicality of different options to resettle Palestinians from Gaza who have immediate family members who are American citizens or permanent residents.
Barack Obama trashed President Trump during an appearance on the “Smartless” podcast with Joe Biden and Bill Clinton.
“I have been surprised that there haven’t been guardrails inside the Republican Party. Trump didn’t surprise me,” Barack Obama told host Jason Bateman.
“I mean, he comes from New York. There’s nobody in New York who does business with him or lend him money. He’s not considered a serious guy here,” Obama, the former community organizer who has created nothing in his life added.
United Methodists repealed their church’s ban on LGBTQ clergy in a landslide 692 votes for and 51 votes against at their General Conference Wednesday with no debate, The Associated Press (AP) reported.
The repeal removed the church’s rule that expressly forbade “self-avowed practicing homosexuals” from becoming ordained or appointed as ministers, The AP reported. The vote also reportedly repealed a ban on same-sex marriages, allowing clergymen to perform LGBTQ wedding ceremonies without repercussions.
A new poll out from Emerson/The Hill shows that Joe Biden trails President Trump in seven of the key swing states:
Yet, in spite of those numbers (and other disapproving indicators), Biden found it wise to announce on a recent podcast that the Second Amendment was “never absolute” and all that talk about Thomas Jefferson’s “tree of liberty” reference is a “bunch of crap.”
Brilliant Joe, absolutely brilliant—so brilliant in fact, I’d like to suggest that his staffers organize those comments into sound bites to accompany his campaign ads, and then run them in the very swing states in which he trails,
Columbia University is threatening to expel student protesters against Israel’s handling of the war in Gaza who took over a campus building on Tuesday.
“Students occupying the building face expulsion,” said Columbia spokesperson Ben Chang, The Associated Press reported.
“Protesters have chosen to escalate to an untenable situation — vandalizing property, breaking doors and windows, and blockading entrances — and we are following through with the consequences we outlined yesterday,” Chang added.
Chang is referring to the school’s Monday promise to suspend people who did not clear the encampment and sign a document promising to obey the university’s policies around protesting.

Many decades ago my four year old daughter was invited to play at a neighbor's house with another little girl while visiting her grandparents in an upper middle class neighborhood. While there, she was attacked and knocked down by the neighbor's Doberman that went for her throat while she on the ground. Thankfully the bite occurred under her arm pit as she instinctively raised her arm to protect herself. The dog clamped down and shook her like a rag doll. Fortunately the owner's teenage son was there and got the dog off my daughter.
Hala Rharrit, a career diplomat, handed in her resignation over the Biden administration's policy in the Israel-Hamas war.
Rharrit has an 18-year career as a U.S. diplomat. She is an Arabic language spokesperson described as one of the most recognized faces of American diplomacy for Arab media. She is opposed to what she called Biden's unwavering support for Israel. She said others in the State Department are afraid to speak out with their views publicly.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) announced Wednesday she’ll force a vote next week on whether to oust Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), an extraordinary move highlighting the internal turmoil in the GOP.
But it’s also a move that is all but certain to fail after Democratic leaders said they would vote to protect the Speaker from her coup attempt. Forcing a vote on the motion to vacate resolution — which Greene filed against Johnson more than a month ago — will compel the chamber to act on the measure within two legislative days.
“I think every member of Congress needs to take that vote and let the chips fall where they
Intense clashes between anti-war protesters and police on college campuses is spreading alarm among Senate Democrats who worry that anger over President Biden’s handling of the war in Gaza could engulf their party’s presidential nominating convention in late August. Images of police arresting more than 100 protesters on Columbia University’s campus, including Rep. Ilhan Omar’s (D-Minn.) daughter, have Democratic lawmakers bracing for chaos in Chicago. It’s just one of several campuses around the country where there have been arrests. “I think if the situation doesn’t change dramatically in Gaza, yeah, I think it could be bad,” warned one Democratic senator
