BREAKING: Judge brutally DENIES Ilhan Omar’s emergency attempt to stop DOJ probe into her wealth explosion.

No hearing. “No more games.”
Subpoenas flying as offshore accounts surface. Husband’s biz went from $50K to $30M+ overnight.

Sen. John Kennedy: “This is corruption exposed — her $40M fortune is shattering the facade.”

Accountability coming?

This past year has been a constant revelation of how deeply criminal organizations have been siphoning money from US citizens through our government.

This whole "tax the rich" rhetoric is quite obviously a tactic to get more money into these fraudulent pipelines.

It's important to understand that their ENTIRE goal is to get their hands on our money and to say whatever they have to, to keep the money flowing to their criminal organizations.

They distract us by pretending to make moral or political arguments and get us to have heated discussions about the merits of different political philosophies, but meanwhile, they are simply stealing from us.

It's pointless to argue with them because the argument is their way of distracting us, so we forget they are actively robbing us as we speak.

When someone is in the process of robbing you, it is not the time for a philosophical or political discussion.

It's time to aggressively stop them from robbing us. End of discussion. They are simply criminals and need to be treated with open hostility.

She’s not Islamaphobic. Muslims really are trying to kill her. Westerners are not Islamaphobic either. Muslims really do want to destroy our culture and erase Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, atheists, and whichever Islamic sects are considered the wrong ones. They have to destroy western societies because Muslims are tribal.
Western democracies that become tribal are no longer free societies. That’s why Marxists are so similar to Muslims in the way they function politically. Marxists are also tribal and allow for no freedom of thought or action, only what the party dictates.

@LassFree @newstart_2024 I unfriended a couple of the ones I had already unfollowed on Facebook because they still would make nasty, pompous comments on my feed about Charlie Kirk, Trump, ICE, you name it. They are the Christians who think they are on the right side of history.

Many immigrant families thrive because they pool their resources. They will live in a crowded house until they can buy a second house. They start family businesses with the free labor of family members. They succeed as a team. All Americans lived like that at one time.

[Camus @newstart_2024]

“The biggest lie sold to our generation was that leaving your family made you free.”

Tania Khazaal makes a sharp point: For decades, society pushed the idea that true success and empowerment meant leaving home at 18, becoming fully independent, and building life on your own.

The result? One cohesive family unit often turned into five separate households — each paying its own rent, utilities, car payments, and often starting with heavy student debt. Everyone bearing costs alone.

In contrast, multigenerational families that stay connected can share expenses, pool resources, launch businesses together, and actually build generational wealth. When the family unit fractures, each new generation resets to zero — financially, emotionally, and spiritually. The “village” disappears, leaving individuals to survive in isolation.

A clear-eyed look at how cultural messaging around freedom quietly reshaped family structures and long-term economic outcomes.

What resonates (or challenges) you most in this perspective — the hidden economic costs of breaking the family unit, the redefinition of real freedom, or the long-term impact on generational wealth and resilience?

The problem started with the Industrial Revolution: Men who once worked alongside their wives and children all day now had to leave home to work in factories and offices.

Boys no longer had a day-in / day-out model of what it means to be a man.

Sociologist Michael Kimmel writes, “For the first time in American history, young men experienced an ‘identity crisis.’

Historian Anthony Rotundo says, Boys grew “alienated from their fathers and from the world of adult males.”

Robert Bly, the founder of the contemporary men’s movement, writes, “The love unit most damaged by the Industrial Revolution is the father-son bond.” He calls it “industrial fatherlessness.”

Commentators at the time noticed that boys’ behavior was growing worse—because they were no longer being supervised by their fathers. Boys were becoming wild, unruly, and unmanageable.

A leading psychologist of the day, G. Stanley Hall, wrote:

“Never has the American boy been quite so wild as now, and so half-orphaned [growing up without their fathers] and left to female guidance in school, home, and church.”

🚨WOW: Jason Michael Hann, also known as the "Tupperware Baby Killer," was convicted of murdering his two infants, Montana and Jason, in 1999 and 2001, respectively. He received the death penalty in 2014, but after identifying as a woman and transitioning to Jessica Marie Hann, he was transferred to a women's prison in California. In 2020, Hann was moved to the Central California Women's Facility, where he's currently housed in the general population, not on death row, due to Governor Gavin Newsom's executive order suspending the death penalty in California.

Hann is reportedly awaiting taxpayer-funded breast implants, sparking controversy and debate about the use of public funds for his transition. The decision has raised concerns about the prioritization of Hann's needs over those of law-abiding citizens and the potential risks to female inmates.

Thoughts?

🚨 IT’S OFFICIAL: The Louisiana Supreme Court has SUSPENDED the license of Black Lives Matter lawyer Tanzanika Ruffin after she was indicted for stealing $250,000

BLM was one huge SCAM and fraud operation! Imagine that.

It is the end of democracy if voter ID is not passed

[Publius @OcrazioCornPop]

🚨 SENATE BETRAYAL: The Senate has gone on break and is not planning to return to regular business until Monday, April 13, 2026...

18 DAYS!

It has adjourned into brief "pro forma" sessions to keep the Senate technically "in session" to prevent any gap long enough (10+ days) for President Trump to make recess appointments without Senate confirmation.

The Save America Act has NOT been passed!

The Big Beautiful Bill funds ICE & CBP frontline agents through 2029, BUT leaves their CRITICAL civilian support staff (IT, logistics, case managers) UNPAID since mid-February 2026!

These patriots have been working WITHOUT PAY for MONTHS, some for 6+ months straight after the last shutdown.

No money for bills, families in crisis.

WORSE: No support staff MEANS NO case processing, NO legal reviews, NO deportation flights.

Mass deportations are STALLING while illegals laugh.

IS THIS AN ACCEPTABLE DEAL?

The right suffers from failing to realize that you can only be left alone if the politicians who want to leave you alone rule.

[Nick Freitas @NickJFreitas]

The left wants to rule and the right wants to be left alone.

The right suffers from failing to realize that you can only be left alone if the politicians who want to leave you alone rule.

That is not always Republicans but it’s is NEVER Democrats

And before you tell me “not good enough” I’m going to ask you whether or not you vote in all the primaries. Because if you don’t, you’re helping to ensure that you never get the kind of Republicans you want.

[Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson]

Today, for the first time, we got 100% on the record confirmation that Rep. Ilhan Omar committed immigration fraud.

Lying on your immigration forms is an immediate denaturalization.

Vice President JD Vance says DHS is exploring enforcement.

Ilhan needs to be deported.

Slavery existed for over 5,000 years.

Every major civilisation accepted it.

For most of history, nobody seriously tried to stop it at scale.

Then Britain did something different.

It didn’t just pass a law.

👇

In 1807, Britain abolished the slave trade.

Then it enforced it.

For 60 years, the Royal Navy hunted slave ships.

1,600 ships captured.
Around 150,000 people freed.
And it cost lives.

Around 2,000 British sailors died doing it.

Then in 1833:

Britain abolished slavery across its empire.

800,000 people set free.

It paid £20 million to do it. Around 40 percent of government spending.

This wasn’t quick.

This wasn’t easy.

And it didn’t start with politicians.

It started with ordinary people.

Women boycotted sugar.
Hundreds of thousands of them.

Thomas Clarkson rode 35,000 miles to gather evidence.
A movement that took decades.

This is part of British history.

Not perfect.

But not what most people are told either.

Almost no one explains it like this.

@newstart_2024 Petersen is correct, January 5, 2022 poll, Democrats - 48% favored fines or imprisonment for those questioning vaccine efficacy, 45% of Dems favored quarantine (concentration camps) for the unjabbed, 55% of Dems favored fines for the unvaccinated. - Just horrendous tyranny.

@newstart_2024 “If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being.”

Alexandre Solzhenitsyn

[Camus @newstart_2024]

An older but still stinging observation from Jordan Peterson:

“People read the history of Nazi Germany and always think they’re Schindler — the one who would have saved Anne Frank.
They never imagine themselves as the perpetrator.

Look at what happened during the pandemic in Canada: 30% of my neighbors were thrilled to inform on the people around them. They would have worn those masks for the rest of their lives if it let them feel morally superior.”

It’s a stark reminder that the line between “good person” and “collaborator” is thinner than we like to admit — especially when virtue-signaling or social pressure is involved.

Have you ever caught yourself (or seen others) enjoying the moral high ground a little too much during a crisis?
Or do you think most people truly would have stood against the crowd if the stakes were higher?

Your thoughts 👇

THE HUNTINGTON COUNTY INDIANA NEWS ·
Steve Harrison · ·
OPINION...
I’m being taxed on money I never made. Let that sink in.
I bought my property outright for $138,000 in 2001.
Now the county says it’s worth $246,000.
Did I sell it? No.
Did I make a profit? No.
Did I get a check for $246,000? No.
But my taxes jumped like I did.
That’s the problem.
This isn’t income.
This isn’t cash.
This is a number someone decided on paper — and now I’m being billed for it.
If my stock portfolio doubles, I don’t pay taxes until I sell.
If my income doesn’t increase, I don’t magically owe more income tax.
So why does owning a home work differently?
Why am I being taxed on unrealized gains?
A house isn’t just an investment — it’s where people live. And this system means you can do everything right, pay off your home, and still get squeezed harder every year because of a number you never turned into money.
You don’t truly own something if you can be taxed out of it.
This isn’t about “services” or “inflation.”
It’s about being charged for value you never received.
And people are starting to notice.

Debbie Reynolds on how Fred Astaire helped her when she thought of giving up during the filming of "Singin' in the Rain" (1952):

"I’ve never worked so hard. I was dancing for eight hours a day. Making 'Singin’ in the Rain' (1952) and childbirth were the two hardest things I’ve ever done. The movie was actually harder, because it hurt me everywhere, most of all my brain and my feet.

My father had raised me never to start a job unless I planned on finishing it, and I was determined to do my damnedest. The word quit was not in my vocabulary. Still, Daddy had never been in a musical film. One day I crumpled in a heap under the rehearsal piano, crying. Fred Astaire came to my rescue. He asked me why I was crying, and I told him the dancing was so hard, I thought I was going to die.

“You’re not going to die,” he said. “That’s what it’s like to learn to dance. If you’re not sweating, you’re not doing it right.”

He took me to the studio where he was rehearsing with Hermes Pan, another great MGM choreographer. I watched in awe as Fred worked on his routines to the point of frustration and anger. I realized that if it was hard for Fred Astaire, dancing was hard for everyone. No one ever made it look easier. His kind gesture helped me a great deal."

("Unsinkable: A Memoir", Debbie Reynolds and Dorian Hannaway, 2012)

P.S: On this day, 74 years ago, "Singin' in the Rain" (1952) premiered in Miami, Florida, USA.
