SecState Rubio: 17 more MS-13, Tren de Aragua gangbangers sent to El Salvador

These are some of the worst scumcrumpets we know. These are gangs that murder, steal, rape, torture that the Biden administration gave a wink-wink and allowed them to enter the country. But on Sunday, the U.S. military sent 17 of these suspected Tren de Aragua (TdA) and MS-13 gang members away. Gone. Sent to prison in El Salvador, according to Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

“Last night, in a successful counter-terrorism operation with our allies in El Salvador, the United States military transferred a group of 17 violent criminals from the Tren de Aragua and MS-13 organizations, including murderers and rapists,” Rubio wrote on Monday.

“In order to keep the American people safe, @POTUS designated the Tren de Aragua and MS-13 as Foreign Terrorist Organizations. These criminals will no longer terrorize our communities and citizens. Once again, we extend our gratitude to @nayibbukele and the government of El Salvador for their unparalleled partnership in making our countries safe against transnational crime and terrorism,” he said.

El Salvador’s president, Nayib Bukele, issued a statement as well — informing Americans and the Salvadoran people that “all individuals are confirmed murderers and high-profile offenders, including six child rapists.”

Just a bunch of guys with weird hobbies, right?

Kevin Jesus Arrecheder Vasquez [don't let his second name fool you] is allegedly one of the Tren de Aragua gang leaders who were deported in the military operation, according to reports. 

The deportations were enacted through Title 8, rather than the Alien Enemies Act — in which previous deportations utilizing the act were halted by a federal judge. Put that in your crack pipe, Judge Boasberg. President Trump continues to push against this leftist judge.

President Donald Trump has continued to rail against the “radical left” U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg for ruling against the Trump administration’s utilization of the Alien Enemies Act to deport violent gang members and rapists.

Additionally, President Trump responded to the most recent deportations. He thanked Bukele for housing the gang members, “for a fee,” in the country’s infamous terrorism confinement center.

“Thank you President Bukele, of El Salvador, for taking the criminals that were so stupidly allowed, by the Crooked Joe Biden Administration, to enter our Country, and giving them such a wonderful place to live!” Trump wrote on Monday.

Shin Bet foil ISIS terror plot

Well, folks, it looks like the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) and Israel Police have been busy keeping the bad guys at bay. In a move that’s sure to make ISIS fans cry into their hummus, they’ve nabbed an Arab-Israeli teen who was cooking up some nasty bombing plans targeting Jews in northern Israel.

 
According to the World Israel News Staff, this 17-year-old punk from Jisr az-Zarqa got himself arrested on March 2 for being a little too cozy with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). Apparently, this kid wasn’t just a casual fan—he swore allegiance to ISIS and its current caliph multiple times, like some twisted loyalty pledge drive.

 
The Shin Bet and police say this junior jihadi was plotting terror attacks in the Menashe region of the Haifa district. And when they nabbed him, they found a handy-dandy bomb-making manual in his possession—because nothing says "teen rebellion" like DIY explosives, right? 

The Haifa District Prosecutor’s Office has slapped him with an indictment for his ISIS ties and terror plotting, and they’re asking to keep him locked up until the trial wraps. Good call, I’d say.

A senior Shin Bet official chimed in, noting, “This case joins a series of arrests of Israeli citizens who planned to carry out terrorist activities in Israel.” He then added, “[T]he trend involving Israeli citizens in terrorism and espionage is extremely serious, and the security system will act harshly against those involved.” 

Translation: Don’t mess with the Shin Bet, folks—they’re as serious as cancer.

Meanwhile, a police official spoke about the arrest, saying the arrest “of the minor who planned to carry out an attack is the result of accurate intelligence and a rapid response by the security forces. Anyone who chooses the path of terrorism will be caught, arrested, and brought to justice.” Boom! That’s the sound of law enforcement dropping the hammer on wannabe terrorists.

So, another day, another thwarted attack. Kudos to the Shin Bet and Israel Police for keeping the streets safe while this ISIS fanboy learns the hard way that bomb plots don’t end with a gold star and a participation trophy. 

Stay frosty, Israel!

Am Yisrael Chai!

Erdoğan prays: "May Allah destroy Israel"

Turkish tuffy

The unhinged ravings of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan took a predictably sinister turn on Sunday, as the Islamist demagogue led Eid al-Fitr prayers at Istanbul’s Çamlıca Mosque.

According to Türkiye Today, Erdoğan seized the occasion marking Ramadan’s end to pray for Israel’s annihilation. “We see and know what is happening in Palestine,” he intoned, before invoking one of Allah’s more vengeful monikers: “May Allah, for the sake of his name ‘Al-Qahhar,’ destroy and devastate Zionist Israel.” 

For the uninitiated, Al-Qahhar translates from Arabic as “The Conqueror” or “The Subduer”—a fitting epithet for Erdoğan’s own tyrannical ambitions. Hitler's second coming went on: “And may we all, witnessing what is happening there [in the Gaza Strip], stay united, strong and resilient as brothers; may Allah keep our unity everlasting.” 

One can almost hear the jackboots clicking in unison and along mit dem Sig Heils, und so, but in Arabic.

In a separate English-language statement posted earlier that day to Ankara’s official channels, Erdoğan dialed up the sanctimony. “Particularly the genocide taking place in Gaza is constantly reaching a more alarming dimension,” the Jew-hater wrote, “with scenes that will tear out the heart of anyone who has even a little piece of conscience, morality, and reason.” 

Not that the October 7, 2023 massacre of Jews and subsequent killing of the Bibas babies along with their mother came close to tearing out the heart of anyone with a conscience, morality and a pair of eyes and ears to hear the screams, in this scumcrumpet Turk's evil mind.

Spare us the freaking tears. 

“As Türkiye, we take a clear stance against this atrocity and work to heal the wounds of our brothers and sisters through our aid,” he added, before prophesying: “The upcoming period will Inshallah [‘God willing’] lead to an awakening on this issue all across the world.” 

An awakening to what, exactly? The glories of the sick Hamassholes?

Erdoğan’s hostility toward Israel has festered like an open puss-sore since the terrorist group’s barbaric assault on southern Israel on that October 7th day. 

The Israeli Foreign Ministry, which has lately urged NATO to expel Turkey for flouting the alliance’s founding principles, offered no immediate comment—perhaps wisely avoiding a shouting match with a crazy bstrd. A spokesperson for NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte’s office dodged the issue entirely, directing inquiries back to Turkish authorities “for comment on the content and authenticity of the video.”

This is not Erdoğan’s first descent into blood-curdling rhetoric. In May 2024, he branded Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with the tired, worn out trope, calling him a “vampire who feeds on blood,” exhorting Muslims to wage war against the Jewish state. 

By July, he was telling Newsweek that the Palestinian terrorists who butchered 1,200 people—mostly civilians—on October 7 were merely “defending their homes, streets and homeland.” 

That same month, he threw subtlety to the wind, threatening outright invasion: “We must be very strong so that Israel can’t do these things to Palestine. Just as we entered Karabakh, just as we entered Libya, we might do the same to them. There is nothing we cannot do.” 

Spoken like a true conqueror—or a subduer, if you prefer. The civilized world should take note: this is the voice of a man who dreams not of peace, but of domination.

Let freedom ring, gentle readers.

IDF kills 50 Hamassholes in northern and central Gaza

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have dispatched 50 Hamas fighters to their eternal reward in northern and central Gaza, according to a Monday announcement from the IDF. Not that their eternal reward was in northern and central Gaza, that's where they were killed, but their reward is in a place much hotter.

To be precise, Division 252 has been busy around the Netzarim Corridor in central Gaza and sundry areas to the north, uncovering a tunnel network stretching a full kilometer - a subterranean surprise missed in previous incursions.

Not content with mere spelunking, the IDF also obliterated a rocket fabrication facility. This could prove consequential as Hamas has resumed its irritating habit of lobbing rockets - in admittedly paltry numbers - at the Gaza Corridor of late. "By air and land: Attacking Hamas" - a pithy summary of the IDF's recent exertions.

Earlier that Monday, the IDF declared it was extending its invasion to virgin territory in Rafah. 

The previous day, with hostage talks teetering at a tipping point, the Gaza war seemed to be coasting along on autopilot. From Thursday to Sunday last week, aerial assaults persisted and limited ground probes occurred, but no major escalation materialized - a far cry from the IDF's more vigorous invasions earlier in the conflict or the dire forecasts of a month ago, when a new hostage deal seemed a distant prospect.

With little news to report on the Gaza front in recent days, the Israeli government appears to have flashed a cautionary amber light, pausing the invasion's momentum to allow space for negotiating a new hostage accord with Hamas. This came just prior to the IDF going deeper into Gaza, which probably had most residents head out to the al-Mawasi humanitarian zone 

 before the IDF plunges deeper into Gaza, likely forcing most residents to decamp for the al-Mawasi humanitarian zone on the Mediterranean shore.

Prior to Monday, the IDF's last claim of eliminating dozens of Hamas terrorists came the previous Thursday. Friday and Sunday were silent days for IDF Gaza war updates, while Saturday brought a lone minor report of a foray into a less vital Rafah sector, plus news of assorted air strikes. 

The last significant ground operation was March 26, when the IDF mandated a mass Palestinian exodus from northern Gaza - Zeitoun, Rimal, Tel-al-awa and two other districts - adding to prior evacuations from Beit Lahiya, Beit Hanoun, and Jabalia. Most key northern Gaza Hamas strongholds, barring downtown Gaza City, Shejaiya, and Shaati, were thus emptied, making those March 26 maneuvers noteworthy.

That same day, the IDF pummeled Gaza areas responsible for an unspecified impact near Zimrat in the Gaza Corridor. Hamas's March 26 rocket volley failed to kill, but one of the two projectiles penetrated defenses, and the Gazan terror outfits retain the capacity to fire a handful of rockets simultaneously. Same on Saturday, when the IDF hit Khan Yunis zones that had mortared nearby IDF troops.

Zooming out, the most devastating blow of this renewed strife was undoubtedly March 18, when the air force flattened some 80 high-value targets - including numerous senior Hamas politicos - in a mere 10 minutes. 

A few days of steady escalation and invasion into various Gaza sectors ensued, seemingly peaking on March 26 with potential to expand further into Gaza City, fresh parts of Khan Yunis, and central Gaza. Instead, it has leveled off for now.

Last week, a cabal of senior reservists urged IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Eyal Zamir to widen the invasion pronto and squeeze Hamas to the max, even as hostage advocates pressed the government to strike a new bargain with the Gazan terror group and suspend the latest hostilities. Israel resumed combat after a 42-day ceasefire, followed by an almost three-week stalemate between the parties on the ceasefire's next phase.

Trump leaves WHO, WHO cuts staff: who figured?

It looks like the globalist goons at the World Health Organization (WHO) are finally getting a taste of their own medicine—and it’s about damn time! The insidious architects of the disastrous Covid-19 lockdown policies are now facing some serious belt-tightening after the Trump administration told them to take a hike and withdrew from their little tyranny club. Cue the world’s tiniest violin.

You see, these sanctimonious international leeches and their buddies in hostile nations have gotten mighty comfy vilifying the United States while simultaneously slurping up American taxpayer dollars like it’s an all-you-can-eat buffet. So, naturally, they’re clutching their pearls in shock that Donald Trump—God bless his America-First soul—is slamming the cash register shut on their grift. That includes the United Nations’ WHO, a proud cheerleader for oligarchical tyranny that cribbed its awful Covid playbook straight from Communist China. Now they’re whining because our Republic won’t keep bankrolling their efforts to undermine our interests and founding principles. Boo-freaking-hoo. Hey, while we’re at it, how about we pull the plug on the terrorist-coddling, tyrant-loving UN entirely? Just a thought.

Trump didn’t waste a second this time around, yanking us out of the WHO with an executive order on his very first day back in office this January. That’s a refreshing upgrade from his first term, when he occasionally bought into some of the WHO’s devastating lockdown and vaccine nonsense. This move guts a hefty chunk of their funding—nearly a fifth, since the U.S. was footing 18 percent of their bill, according to Breitbart’s March 30 report. Maybe now the WHO can cozy up to their old pals in the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for a bailout. I’m sure Xi Jinping’s got some spare yuan lying around.
In that January EO, Trump laid it out plain and simple: “China, with a population of 1.4 billion, has 300 percent of the population of the United States, yet contributes nearly 90 percent less to the WHO.”

During his first term, he said, we shelled out $500 million to the WHO—all so they could repay us with deadly health advice and a disturbing habit of kowtowing to the CCP, especially during Covid. What a deal, right?

Now, the WHO’s crying broke. A memo from their Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, dated March 28 and reported by Reuters, whined, “The United States’ announcement, combined with recent reductions in official development assistance by some countries to fund increased defence spending, has made our situation much more acute.” Translation: their piggy bank’s running dry, and they’re panicking. The memo also admitted, “The U.S. withdrawal has exacerbated a funding crisis due to member states reducing their development spending.” Oh, the humanity!

Facing a $600 million shortfall this year, the WHO’s proposing to slash its 2026-27 budget by 21 percent, from $5.3 billion to $4.2 billion. Breitbart noted they’d already trimmed their planned budget, but apparently, that wasn’t enough. “Despite our best efforts, we are now at the point where we have no choice but to reduce the scale of our work and workforce,” the memo sobbed. Good. That’s precisely what we voted for. America’s scraping by to fund its own government—sorry, WHO, we’re not your ATM anymore. Time to cut off these evil globalist clowns without so much as a penny.

NBC has proof Lee Harvey Oswald didn't kill JFK

Let us turn our gaze to a spectacle that threatens to shake the foundations of a narrative long held sacrosanct by the chattering classes of America. 

Astonishing allegations have emerged, not with a whisper but with the force of a thunderclap, concerning a hitherto unseen NBC video that might—just might—topple the official account of John F. Kennedy’s assassination. 

The claim comes courtesy of Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), who chose the appropriately dramatic stage of “Jesse Watters Primetime” on Fox News to lob this particular grenade into the public square. According to Luna, this tape—shrouded in mystery like some lost artifact of a bygone age—purports to show Lee Harvey Oswald lingering near the vehicle in which JFK rode to his doom in Dallas, Texas, at a spot that would render his role as the shooter not merely implausible but impossible.

Luna, with the earnestness of someone who has stumbled upon a truth too big to keep quiet, declared, "I would like to actually tell the American people, it was made, uh, aware to me this evening that NBC actually has a video that's never been seen before. We're actually going to be... sending a letter requesting that from NBC, because it allegedly shows Oswald, um, near the vehicle when the assassination took place, which means that he couldn't have been the shooter. So again, we're tracking down all this information." 

If she's right—and that is a conditional of Himalayan proportions—this could dismantle the "lone gunman theory," a story clung to by officialdom with the desperation of a drowning man clutching driftwood.

To bolster her case, Luna invokes a CIA document, unearthed by the diligent journalist Jefferson Morley, which suggests that even the agency’s own mandarins harbored doubts about the solitary assassin tale. "There is even a CIA document that came out that Mr. Morley pointed out that actually said that the CIA never bought the lone gunman theory," she said, before adding with a note of quiet triumph, "I think the American people had an inclination as to what we were saying, but we never had the hard evidence until now." Here we see the specter of institutional skepticism, a crack in the edifice of certainty that has stood for decades.

And then there is Trump, who, earlier this month, flung open the JFK files with the flourish of a man who enjoys nothing more than upending the apple cart. Luna, ever the patriot, lauds this act of disclosure: "In a free and fair society, how could you operate or have an agency operating in the shadows? Kudos to President Trump, also Director [John] Ratcliffe, and Tulsi Gabbard for pushing for this transparency. It is going to be generational changing that they've done this." She vows to pursue legislation to banish such opacity from government corridors forevermore, though her immediate crusade is to wrench this elusive video from NBC’s grasp.

When Fox News host Jesse Watters—a man whose bluntness could fell an oak—pressed her on whether NBC had been deliberately squirreling away this tape, Luna did not flinch: "Correct. In fact, uh, Director [Oliver] Stone actually told us that he was showed this tape, uh, that it was a secondary copy, and that he said that this could blow open the entire JFK, um, investigation. What I will also tell you though, Jesse, is he said that NBC's been very, very much so guarding this tape, and so I believe that that tape belongs to the American people." If Oliver Stone, that perennial gadfly of American complacency, is to be believed, we are on the cusp of a revelation that could rewrite history—or at least make for a riveting documentary.

Luna’s call to arms is clear: "We are going to be sending a letter asking for that tape, and I would encourage everyone to ask NBC to release that tape to the public. It's important not just for our investigations, but so the American people know the truth as to what happened with John F. Kennedy." The tweet from Watters amplifies the drama: 

"BREAKING:

@realannapaulina tells Primetime that NBC has a secret tape that shows Lee Harvey Oswald near JFK's vehicle when the assassination took place... which would mean he wasn't the shooter. pic.twitter.com/SI34rf2HPG— Jesse Watters (@JesseBWatters) March 29, 2025."

Should these claims hold water, they could reignite a debate that has smoldered since November 22, 1963, forcing Americans to reconsider what they thought they knew. 

But let us not be hasty. Does this tape exist? Does it show what Luna claims? I remain, as ever, a skeptic. She has not seen it herself, and until it materializes—until we can scrutinize it with our own eyes—I shall not be persuaded. The truth, like a rare jewel, must be held up to the light, not merely dangled as a promise.

March for our Lives is dying slowly

Perpetually angry at something gun related

There’s a certain absurdity baked into the gun control movement, a kind of tragicomic repetition that would make even Sisyphus wince. Everyone on that side of the debate seems compelled to start their own little outfit, each one parroting the same tired lines as the last, as if the sheer volume of organizations might somehow drown out the Second Amendment.

March for Our Lives at least had the decency to carve out a niche, focusing on America’s youth—a group typically more preoccupied with their phones than with policy. Born from the blood and anguish of Parkland, spearheaded by survivors who turned trauma into a megaphone, it burst onto the scene with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer. Money flowed in, headlines followed, and for a moment, it looked like they might actually shift the tectonic plates of American gun culture.

But apparently not enough money flowed in to keep the lights on, as the group has just sacked most of its full-time staff—a pruning so severe it’s less a trim and more a clear-cut.

March For Our Lives is slashing its employees and anointing a new leader. Last week, the gun-control crusaders announced they’d be parting ways with 13 of their 16 full-time staffers—leaving a rump outfit that could barely man a picket line, let alone a movement. They’ve also tapped Jaclyn Corin, a 24-year-old Parkland survivor and co-founder, as their new executive director, thrusting her into the unenviable role of captaining a ship that’s sprung more leaks than a pair of Biden's 3-week-old skivvies.

“We are facing financial challenges as an organization, not unlike many nonprofit advocacy organizations in this time,” Corin told The 19th, with the sort of measured resignation you’d expect from someone watching their dreams sink into the quicksand of reality. “I am sure things would look differently with a different outcome of the election, but these are the systems and circumstances in which we have to make adjustments based on the financial situation we find ourselves in. It is incredibly unfortunate that these cuts have to happen.”

This isn’t just a stumble—it’s a face-plant for one of America’s loudest anti-gun voices. With the midterms looming, their ability to influence anything beyond a Twitter thread is now in serious doubt. It’s the culmination of a slow, pitiful decline from the dizzying heights of their early days—a fall from grace that’s been as predictable as it is painful to watch.

When I first saw the headline and dug into the piece, my mind went straight to DOGE—the Musk-Trump efficiency juggernaut—taking a flamethrower to the NGO gravy train. The money wasn’t meant to go directly to gun control groups, of course, but we all know the game: it gets funneled through pass-through entities, those clever little NGOs that scoop up USAID cash and sprinkle it onto anti-gun campaigns like confetti at a protest. With that spigot now largely shut off, I suspect we’re witnessing the first tremors of a broader reckoning for these outfits.

That said, I wouldn’t pin it all on DOGE’s budget axe. March For Our Lives was showing signs of distress before Trump swaggered back into the Oval Office and Musk started slashing government waste with the zeal of a man who’d rather be colonizing Mars. The rot, it seems, was already setting in.
The numbers tell a grim tale. Public records show fundraising at its two nonprofit arms has cratered. The non-political foundation went from $2.2 million in 2022 to $1.4 million in 2023, landing more than $300,000 in the red—a shortfall that’s less a hiccup and more a financial coronary. Its political advocacy wing fared worse, plunging from $7 million in 2022 to under $3.5 million the next year. Both bled deficits, and neither came close to the $18.6 million war chest they amassed in 2018’s heady days.

We don’t have 2024’s figures yet, but Corin’s comments suggest the bleeding hasn’t stopped—it’s just gotten messier. She admits they overreached, took on more than they could sustain, and watched the cash evaporate.

Michael Bloomberg could’ve plugged the gap with the loose change from his Mayfair townhouse, but he didn’t. I’d wager the laid-off staffers are mulling that over as they draft their CVs.

What we’re seeing here is a classic case of hubris meeting reality. They rode a tsunami of donations in 2018, assumed the well would never run dry, and built their operation on the shaky premise that the cheques would keep coming. They didn’t. Inflation bit, ordinary Americans tightened their belts, and even the deep-pocketed donors got stingier—perhaps tiring of a cause that’s starting to feel like a broken record.

Rather than adapt, they clung to optimism, hoping the tide would turn. It didn’t, and now they’re binning over 80 percent of their full-time staff—including, presumably, the very people tasked with shaking the money tree. A bold strategy, if your goal is to accelerate your own irrelevance.

March for Our Lives stormed in with righteous fury and a fat bankroll, but it’s limping out as a cautionary tale: even the loudest voices fade when the cash runs dry. They wanted to change America. Instead, they’ve just reminded us that idealism, unchecked by pragmatism, ends up as little more than ash.

Republicans promise to stop leftist judges from stopping Trump's mandate

The Democrats are clutching their pearls and singing the sweet hymn of "separation of powers" again. This time, it’s over a D.C. circuit court judge—Obama appointee James Boasberg, naturally—whose daughter works with illegal aliens and slammed the brakes on the Trump administration’s plan to deport suspected Tren de Aragua gang members back to Venezuela. This would ensure his daughter wouldn't run out of clients in the future.

The lefties are calling it a noble stand for "due process." Republicans? They’re calling it what it is: a judge drunk on his own power, scribbling outside the lines. And they’re already plotting to make sure this judicial joyride doesn’t happen again.

This is just the latest episode in the Trump administration’s injunction-palooza—over a dozen district court judges across the country have been playing whack-a-mole with his policies. On Wednesday, a federal appellate court said, “Nah, we’re good,” refusing to pause Boasberg’s weekend special: a temporary restraining order blocking Trump from using the Alien Enemies Act to ship out Venezuelan nationals.

Cue the House Judiciary Committee, which is gearing up for an “activist judges” hearing next week to figure out how deep this rabbit hole goes.

Rep. August Pfluger (R-TX) appeared on Fox News Digital, sounding like the voice of reason: “I think the administration’s doing the right thing by fighting it legally.” He’s teasing a new bill to tackle this mess, too. “We’ll be looking at that next week,” he said, probably while polishing his spurs.

Then there’s Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), who’s ready to unleash the full GOP legislative toolbox. “We’ll do everything that we can… to ensure that they are doing what’s right by the American people and then also following through on our constitutional obligations,” she told the outlet.

Luna dropped a truth bomb, too: “Right before President Trump took office, the Democrats actually knowingly made admissions that they were appointing obstructionist justices in order to undermine what the president’s agenda was.” Gee, who could’ve seen that coming? Even Chuck Schumer referred to them as "progressive judges."

Oh, and Luna's take on judges meddling in foreign policy? “Those judges are not elected to office to interpret or set foreign policy perspective. That is the entire job of the administration.” Mic drop.

But the Dems aren’t going down without a fight—or at least a sanctimonious lecture. Rep. Jesús García (D-IL) droned on about “due process” like it’s a sacred mantra, predicting the courts will “chime in strongly on this as they have already, in many instances.” Rep. Greg Stanton (D-AZ) chimed in with, “I believe in the separation of powers and the federal courts are an equal branch of government.”

Thanks for the civics lesson, Greg. Meanwhile, Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA)—yes, that Swalwell—called Trump “insane” for daring to label Boasberg a “radical left lunatic of a judge” who deserves impeachment. “The judiciary has to be independent whether it goes for you or against you,” Fartboy huffed. “We can’t let politics invade judicial decisions, and wanting to impeach a judge is just insane.” Pot, meet kettle.

Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA) took it a step further, arguing Trump’s use of the Alien Enemies Act might be a stretch because—get this—there’s no declared war. “The Alien Enemies Act is a law. It’s a law that has to be followed… they’re saying you have to actually follow the law, which is kind of a judge’s job,” he said, oozing smugness. “But it’s pursuant to a declaration of war. There has not been a declaration of war.” Slow clap for Captain Technicality.

Flip the script, and Republicans are asking the real question: “Who the hell do these robe-wearing overlords think they are?” Rep. Troy Nehls (R-TX) didn’t mince words: “A district in the east, or whatever, to be able to do an injunction and apply it to the whole country, they shouldn’t have the ability to do that. They shouldn’t do it.”

Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-OH) got poetic on the Capitol steps, pointing to the Supreme Court’s “equal justice under law” inscription. “When you have jurists that are acting in an unconstitutional manner… they need to go, period,” he said. “We’re coequal branches of government. That dude, he’s not a king.”

Rep. Michael Rulli (R-OH) called the whole activist-judge power trip “really scary.” “As far as the low-lying judges, it’s a little bit scary to think that they could actually stop the progression of a federal movement where you have the executive branch which should be the final say,” he told Fox. His fix? “My party needs to be very methodical about how we fix it, and we have to codify law to make sure that we can prevent this from happening again.” He’s not holding his breath, though: “It’s probably not going to be the fastest movement.”

So here we are: Democrats clutching their “separation of powers” security blanket, Republicans ready to rewrite the rulebook, and a bunch of unelected judges playing kingmaker. Just another day in D.C.

Some NY Counties Defy Dem Gov. Hochul after she fired corrections cops

If there is a rake lying around somewhere, Democratic NY Governor Kathy Hochul will step on it. This time, she’s managed to tick off several New York counties by trying to ban about 2,000 correctional officers she recently canned from ever working for the state again. 

Talk about a power trip!

Hochul, a former "Miss Grinch" gave these officers the boot for daring to strike over the seriously dangerous conditions in New York’s understaffed prisons. Then, in a move that’s got everyone from county sheriffs to state senators crying foul, she signed an executive order the next day barring them from future jobs anywhere in the Empire State, even with county governments. 

Smooth move, Grinch.

But the counties aren’t taking this lying down. Chemung, Oneida, and Rensselaer Counties are either thumbing their noses at the order or gearing up for a legal smackdown to take back control of their hiring. Chemung’s already slapped the state with a lawsuit, with Sheriff William Schrom saying, “We are taking this action to protect our ability to staff our jail with experienced personnel and to stand against unconstitutional overreach.” 

Boom, lawyered!

Over in Oneida County, the Board of Legislators green-lit a resolution to sue the state, with County Executive Anthony Picente, not mincing words, called out Hochul’s order as “an abuse of the governor’s authority and discretion, and unlawfully intrudes upon the county’s powers of home rule.” 

And then there’s Rensselaer County’s Steve McLaughlin, who’s not messing around. He’s vowed to defy the order outright, slamming it as “reprehensible and vicious.” On X, he posted, “Just when you think Hochul can’t get worse, she finds a way,” adding, “Preventing Corrections Officers from seeking employment with counties is reprehensible and vicious but that’s exactly who Kathy Hochul is.” 

McLaughlin’s not stopping there, either. “Like I do with everything else regarding her idiotic statements and actions, I will ignore this as well,” he said. “I will hire as many as I can here in #RensselaerCounty and I dare you to sue me and the individual CO’s as they seek gainful employment Hochul.” 

Someone get this man a mic—he’s dropping truth bombs left and right!

Let’s not forget why this whole mess started: Hochul fired these officers amid a prison system already bleeding staff, with 2,000 vacant spots before the strike even kicked off. Her brilliant solution? Call in the National Guard—untrained, mind you—to play prison guard, with no end in sight. They’ve been crashing on gym floors and leaking pics of their lousy setup. 

Oh, and State Sen. Daniel Stec (R) points out these guardsmen are “activated on state orders,” so if they get hurt, they’re screwed out of VA care. 

Hochul’s doubling down on dumb here, and the counties are fighting back. Grab the popcorn—this showdown’s just getting started! And leave the Bud Lite alone.

German court allows "Quds Day" march in Frankfurt

Well, folks, gather ‘round the bonfire of common sense because Germany’s about to toss another log of absurdity on the flames. 

This weekend, Frankfurt will play host to a charming little shindig calling for Israel’s destruction—because nothing says “springtime in Europe” like a good old-fashioned anti-Semitic rally. The city tried to ban this hate-fest, citing the blindingly obvious fact that it’s a neon-lit billboard for Jew-hatred, but an administrative court swooped in like a buzzkill superhero to save the day for the “Quds Day” crowd.

Apparently, the ban was “unlawful.” Sure, why not? Who needs public safety when you’ve got judicial acrobatics?

For those who don't know, Quds Day is Iran’s annual temper tantrum masquerading as a “pro-Palestinian” march. Sponsored by the mullahs in Tehran, it’s a global roadshow where their proxies and fanboys scream for Israel to be wiped off the map. Think of it as the world’s least subtle terrorist pep rally. 

German authorities had the audacity to notice that this year’s Frankfurt edition—slated for Saturday—might feature a smorgasbord of anti-Semitic goodies, so they pulled the plug on Thursday. The city’s assembly authority even warned of a “high probability” that the rally would be a public safety dumpster fire, dripping with Israel-bashing venom. But nah, the court said, let’s roll the dice and see what happens!

Josef Schuster, head of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, tried to inject some sanity into this circus. He pointed out that the end of Ramadan is supposed to be about “inner contemplation and hope,” not a launching pad for Iranian-incited Muslim fanatics to spew their bile. “Almost tragic,” he called it. I’d go with “predictably infuriating,” but sure, let’s keep it classy. He’s begging Muslim groups to call out this hijacking of their faith, and good luck with that, Josef—those crickets are louder than Jerry Nadler passing gas.

Let’s talk Iran for a sec, since they’re the puppet masters here. They’ve been bankrolling Hamas—the Palestinian terror outfit that turned southern Israel into a slaughterhouse on October 7, 2023— with cash, guns, and a hearty “go get ‘em” pat on the back. Documents nabbed by the Israeli military last year even show Tehran got a heads-up about the massacre months in advance. 

Shocking, right? Almost as shocking as the sun rising in the east or Jerry Nadler passing gas.

Frankfurt’s been hosting these Al-Quds hate-parades since 2015, always conveniently timed for the last weekend of Ramadan. It’s a tradition Iran kicked off in ‘79, back when their shiny new Islamist regime decided “liberating Jerusalem” sounded catchier than “admitting we’re obsessed with power.” This year’s slogan? “Stop the War.” Cute, considering the “war” they’re whining about started when Hamas butchered 1,200 people and snatched 251 hostages. Funny how that part gets left out of the pamphlet.

The city expects 500 to 1,000 marchers to show up, probably chanting last year’s greatest hits like “Israel, child killer” and “Germany finances, Israel bombs.” Frankfurt’s mayor, Nargess Eskandari-Grünberg, called it a “propaganda day” for Iran last year and begged for a ban on this anti-Semitic clown show. No dice. The Public Order Commissioner, Annette Rinn, was blunt: rallies denying a state’s right to exist aren’t “peaceful.” But after the court’s ruling, she’s just shrugging and promising to keep things “orderly.” Good luck, Frau Annette—bring a firehose.

Meanwhile, over in Berlin, they’ve been smarter—banning these hate-fests since 2021 under laws against promoting hate speech. 

Eight German states have followed Berlin's lead. Frankfurt, apparently, didn’t get the memo. Ulrike Becker from the Berlin Middle East Freedom Forum nailed it: this isn’t a “protest,” it’s a “celebration of anti-Semitism” and an Iranian PR stunt. Letting it happen on German streets, she says, is a mistake. Understatement of the year, Ulrike.

So here we are: a German court greenl-ighting a rally that’s less “freedom of expression” and more “freedom to fantasize about genocide.” If this is progress, I’ll take the Dark Ages. 

Stay classy, Frankfurt.

IDF strikes Beirut for first time since ceasefire: anti-Semites fume

 The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) just dropped a hammer on Beirut, lighting up a Hezbollah hotspot in the Lebanese capital. This was the first time they’ve blitzed that town since a truce shut down over a year of slugging it out with the Iran-backed crew.

 
Israel’s war machine rolled into action Friday, zeroing in on a building in Beirut’s southern suburbs—a retaliation punch, they say, for rockets raining down from their northern neighbor. The IDF’s got their story straight: they were hunting a Hezbollah drone stash. Lebanon’s National News Agency backed it up, reporting, “Israeli warplanes struck the Hadath neighborhood in Beirut’s southern suburbs.” 

Meanwhile, Israel kept the heat on, pounding Hezbollah targets down in southern Lebanon like they’re settling an old score.

Over in Paris, French President Emmanuel Macron wasn’t having it. Standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun, he called the Beirut strike “unacceptable,” growling that it’s the kind of move that “plays into the hands of Hezbollah.” He's obviously stupid or a terrorist sympathizer.

France, part of the ceasefire watchdog crew, is clearly itching to keep this powder keg from blowing sky-high again.

 
But Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz isn't backing down. He’s pointing the finger square at Lebanon’s government, saying they’re on the hook for this mess. His warning? “If there is no quiet in Kiryat Shmona and the Galilee communities, there will be no quiet in Beirut either.” Straight-up, no-chill vibes. 

The UN’s Lebanon point person, Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert, chimed in too, calling Friday’s cross-border fireworks “deeply concerning.” You can almost hear the collective groan—here we go again.

Hezbollah, though? They’re playing the “not me” card. 

The terrorist group denied any hand in Friday’s rocket show—or last Saturday’s, for that matter. They’re swearing up and down they’re still cool with the November ceasefire, the one that was supposed to cap off months of bloody chaos with Israel. And if you believe that, you might think chickens have lips.

Flashback: the group started lobbing rockets and shells Israel’s way right after Hamas kicked off their October 7, 2023, terror spree. That lit the fuse for all-out war—Israel hit back hard, turning Beirut into a punching bag and rolling tanks across the line. This, of course, pissed off the anti-Semite communities in Europe and the USA.

 
The truce deal was the off-ramp: Lebanese troops beefing up the south, Hezbollah pulling its fighters and toys out, and Israel easing back a bit. But with bombs dropping again, it’s looking like that ceasefire’s hanging by a damn thread. Stay tuned—this ain’t over.

Am Yisrael Chai, baby!
