Some Muslim business owners are reportedly threatening to close their businesses and leave the United States over concerns about rising Islamophobia.
Good riddance! 👋🏼

Do you know what happened in the last 24 hours?
1. Late on Thursday night @FBI agents landed at New York Stewart International Airport with Mohammad al Saadi in handcuffs. Al Saadi, the leader of an Iran-backed Iraqi terror group is allegedly responsible for more than 20 attacks across Europe and Canada and for planning attacks in the U.S..
2. Jose Enrique Martinez Flores, who goes by “Chuqui," the highest ranking Tren de Aragua leader to be extradited to the U.S., also just landed in the U.S. in shackles. Flores allegedly oversaw TdA’s drug trafficking, extortion rackets, prostitution rings and murder operations.
Then, last night, in an operation that makes any fictional representation look amateurish, American operators, working with local Nigerian forces, killed Abu-Bilal-al-Minuki, the second in command for ISIS global operations, a man with the blood of countless innocents on his hands, including many Christians.
This is just one day in the Counterterrorism operations of President @realDonaldTrump.
We salute the intelligence professionals, Law Enforcement Officers, Diplomats, Military operators and support personnel who make these operations possible 24/7.

Everything we were told violated basic medical science.
You don’t mass vaccinate during a respiratory pandemic.
Cloth masks don’t stop a 0.1 micron virus.
Early treatments were known.
Doctors knew this.
And many still complied—because medicine was politicized.
That’s when trust was broken.
Hello Punchbowl News,
The central finding: "Most K Street leaders (88%) say the Trump administration's approach to immigration enforcement will harm Republicans in the midterms."
Eighty-eight percent of K Street leaders. Let me introduce you to Main Street.
McLaughlin & Associates conducted a national survey of 2,000 likely voters between February 27 and March 3, 2026 — the same window as your K Street poll. Here is what actual Americans said:
🔹 Seventy-two percent say addressing illegal immigration is an important priority.
🔹 Eighty-two percent agree immigration policy should serve the interests of American citizens, including 71% of Democrats and 81% of independents.
🔹 Seventy-eight percent agree immigration to the United States is a privilege and not a right, including 60% of Democrats and 70% of Hispanics.
🔹 Seventy-six percent agree the first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens, including 57% of Democrats and 72% of Hispanics.
🔹 Two-thirds support deporting migrants who enter the country illegally, including 62% of independents and 59% of Hispanics.
Your 88% says immigration enforcement hurts Republicans. America's 72% says it's an important priority. Your 88% says the GOP is in danger. America's 66% says deport them.
Your K Street leaders are not predicting the midterms. They're telling you what they want, and you're publishing it as news.
Now let's talk about who's in the room.
Your article identifies the survey partner as "independent public affairs firm, LSG," hyperlinked to teamlsg[.]com... which redirects to locuststreet[.]com, the Locust Street Group. LSG is a Washington, D.C. public affairs firm whose website describes its services as "integrated strategic communications and public affairs campaigns."
That is not an independent research firm. That is a lobbying and public affairs shop with registered LDA filings, running legislative campaigns for corporate clients who need things from Congress. And you called them "independent" in the same sentence where you presented their survey of K Street lobbyists as a news finding about American politics.
You surveyed the lobbying industry, in partnership with a lobbying firm, many of whose partners also sponsored Punchbowl, and reported the result as though it were a measure of political reality. Eighty-eight percent of K Street wants immigration enforcement to stop. That is an interest declaration from the people who profit from the status quo, laundered through a press credential.
About that credential.
Senate Standing Rule VI governs the congressional press galleries. The rules require that credentialed members are "(a) not engaged in paid publicity or promotion work" and "(b) not engaged in any lobbying activity and will not become so engaged while a member of the gallery."
Your 2026 sales deck offers corporations $300,000 for custom content "mutually agreed upon" between sponsor and outlet. It prices "Fly Out Day" lawmaker appearances at $75,000 to $100,000 a month. It sells newsletter sponsorships at $225,000 per week. Goldman Sachs, PhRMA, ExxonMobil, Meta, JPMorgan, Blackstone, and the American Investment Council (all documented sponsors) are not buying journalism. You are conducting paid publicity for corporate clients under a credential whose rules explicitly prohibit paid publicity.
No wonder why John Thune felt comfortable passing a bill at 2 AM that defunded immigration enforcement while 76% of the country, including 57% of Democrats, agrees the government's first duty is to protect American citizens. He didn't need to read the polls. He read Punchbowl.
The Standing Committee of Correspondents should review whether Punchbowl News meets the requirements for congressional press gallery credentials. If "mutually agreed upon" content for $300,000, lawmaker appearances priced at $100,000 a month, and surveys conducted in partnership with a registered lobbying firm do not constitute "paid publicity" or "lobbying activity" under Rule VI... then the rule has no meaning, and the press gallery is just another K Street address with better hallway access.
You are the story, Punchbowl News.
Hello Senator Thune,
Let's expose what you're really doing with "reconciliation."
You announced it yesterday, eleven months after the House passed the SAVE America Act. You're not trying to pass this bill. You're trying to kill it in a way you can blame on process.
Here's how we know:
Reconciliation requires the Senate parliamentarian to rule that provisions are "budgetary." Citizenship verification is not budgetary. Photo ID mandates are not budgetary. The parliamentarian will gut the bill. Then you'll shrug and say "we tried." We see through you.
Meanwhile, you WON'T use the tools that actually work:
Rule XIX limits each senator to two speeches per legislative day. Keep the Senate in continuous session, file cloture daily, and the filibuster exhausts in ~12-20 days. You dismissed it as "complicated." Because if you tried and succeeded, you'd have to actually pass the bill.
Harry Reid nuked the filibuster in 2013 when he wanted results.
Mitch McConnell changed Senate rules THREE times and canceled the August recess.
Chuck Schumer used reconciliation within months on a 50-50 Senate.
You have 53 seats. You've changed nothing, canceled nothing, and waited eleven months.
Now let's talk donors:
• Goldman Sachs: $150K to you - top H-1B user
• Google: $75K - lobbies against E-Verify
• Meta: $72.5K - Zuckerberg's FWD[.]us pushes mass immigration
• Wells Fargo: $90K - banks undocumented immigrants
Same corporations sponsor Punchbowl News, where you sit for "Fly Out Days" which nobody watches except Congress staffers and K Street lobbyists who pays premium bucks for legislative intelligence. Their reporter then telegraphs to the audience the SAVE Act "will ultimately fail."
Corporate money flows to you AND to the outlet that frames your inaction as inevitable.
We see the loop.
You called grassroots anger a "paid influencer ecosystem." YOU are the paid influencer. You take the wrong side of a 80% issue because you are indistinguishable from a K Street mouthpiece, and an ineffective one to boot who won't bend the rules to get anything passed.
What we want:
1. Force a real talking filibuster.
2. Stop hiding behind process.
3. Pass the SAVE America Act.
YOU will become the reason that we will have our butts kicked in midterms. Not Candace Owens, not Nick Fuentes, not anyone else. You and you alone, and all because you want to make the 200 or so viewers of Punchbowl Fly Out Days happy. You're living in a K Street information bubble, addicted to the comforts and praises of lobbyists masquerading as journalists. You mistake the steak and martini dinners you get invited to as your own constituents.
You are not "moderate." The SAVE America Act has 98% support among Republicans. Name one other thing that has 98% support. You are an extreme minority who prides himself on being a calm leader, when in reality you are well in the running for the most ineffective Majority leader of all time.
Prove me wrong. Do the bare modicum of effort. Not symbolic. Actual effort. Cancel the recess. Get SAVE America Act passed.
🚨 Why is the British Empire in full panic mode?
It's not about missiles. It's about a "boring" document that just ended their financial control over America.
NATO generals are screaming for war. MI6 is coming out of the shadows. Russia is calling them out.
The UK 🇬🇧 has taken the top spot in rapes per capita from Sweden 🇸🇪.
The UK recorded 71,227 in 2024, 900% more than the 7,801 in 2000. The rape rate has reached 114 per 100,000 people.
Congrats to all UK politicians on this stunning achievement.
