Hats off to this reporter for asking the elephant in the room.
On Tuesday afternoon, Sen. Chuck Schumer held a press conference, taking aim at President Trump’s new ballroom and blaming Republicans for the failure to pass a new DHS spending bill.
Schumer attended the press conference with a noticeably large bandage on his forehead, prompting one reporter to ask what had happened to it.
In response to the reporter’s question, Schumer shared that a “closet door was opened late at night and it met my forehead.”
Schumer, after answering the question, went on a rant regarding President Trump’s ballroom and stated, “We don’t need this ballroom; you want to help national security, the ballroom has nothing to do with it. Help national security by funding DHS.”
The Senator from New York added, “We don’t want to fund it, we don’t want to approve it, it is not necessary, it’s typical of what’s wrong with Donald Trump, focusing on the wrong things that appease his ego.”

Schumer’s Office later published a press release elaborating on his disagreement with the White House’s new ballroom plans.
Per The Office of Chuck Schumer:
Today, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) spoke on the Senate floor on President Trump and Republicans’ skewed priorities to use taxpayer money to fund Trump’s gold-plated ballroom instead of passing the twice-Senate-approved bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security and addressing the issues the American people are facing. Below are Senator Schumer’s remarks, which can also be viewed here.
As our nation wages Donald Trump’s reckless war with a dangerous and erratic enemy, and as the Department of Homeland Security is still not funded because of the hijinks within the president’s own party, Donald Trump has decided to focus on a taxpayer-funded, gold-plated ballroom instead of focusing on these important national security issues. The war in Iran, dangerous for the US. The fact that we haven’t funded Homeland Security, dangerous for the U.S. Does Donald Trump roll up his sleeves and solve these problems? No. He’s focused on this ballroom. His gilded, gold-plated, taxpayer-funded ballroom, instead of focusing on the important national security issues facing the country. Trump’s values are perverse. Just perverse.
If the President and House Republicans truly care about our national security, fund DHS. Fund the Secret Service. Fund CISA. Fund the Coast Guard. Fund all the crucial law-abiding agencies that every Democrat and every Republican in the Senate unanimously voted to fund not once but twice. Now House Republicans say they are tinkering with technical changes to our legislation. Speaker Johnson, our bill, our bipartisan bill, doesn’t need any changes – just pass the damn thing. Pass the damn thing. We desperately need it.
Schumer’s comments come just days after 31-year-old Cole Allen allegedly opened fire inside the Washington Hilton Hotel during the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
The Trump administration and House Republicans have defended the ballroom plans, arguing that incidents like the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner highlight the need for a venue capable of accommodating large crowds.

Dan Bongino
Former Deputy Director of the FBI Dan Bongino joined Sean Hannity’s podcast, Hanging Out with Me, and discussed his time at the FBI, his cancer diagnosis, the Russia hoax, UFOs, government secrets, and more.
As for his time in the FBI, Bongino noted, “We walked into a mess. You had like, level A problems, which were like…you had to fix this right away or something’s going to go boom.”
“Then you had level B and level C. D, E, and F got handled by someone else and, you know, people out in the field and up into the DAD level.  If it made it to your desk, it was like an A, B, or C problem….C is a pretty big deal.”
“But the problem is, as you’re dealing with those problems every day in the FBI, there were two FBIs trying to help you solve the A, B, and C problems, and that’s FBI 1 and FBI 2. Like, there’s two FBIs? Yes, there were two FBIs.”
“There was the FBI of like bust your ass. You know, VCAC agents, Violent Crimes Against Children, white collar agents, Violent Crime Fugitive Task Force. And some of these guys, I was just honored to be in the room. They were like, we have this TFO, Task Force Officer, down in Miami. This guy, uh, his first name’s Joe, I won’t say his last name, obviously.”
“This guy’s been on the job 38 years. You know how many violent criminals are off the street because of this guy and the agents he works with? I mean, he’s a TFO, but the agents were like that too.”
“And then you had this other FBI which were— which was populated with, to say, unfortunately, snakes is being nice.”
“And here’s the problem, Sean, it wasn’t always obvious which FBI they were in.”
“So you’re trying to solve, like, a level A problem, which has like no solution.  There’s a shitty solution and a shittier one, and I gotta tell ya, it’s almost like a coin toss because either way, someone’s gonna get hurt, okay.  And you’re trying to figure this out and you’re asking someone for advice….you’ve only been there a couple weeks…and you don’t know if that person is part of the good FBI or the bad FBI.”
“So it took Kash and I both, and even people we had relied on on the outside, who knew the FBI well, sometimes they would get it wrong too. It happened a couple times where they’d say, ‘Oh, you can trust John Smith.’ And you trust John Smith, and then a week later you’d see, like, a leak in the media and you’d be like, ‘I’m pretty sure that came from John Smith.’”
“So I would start like messing with people…I would do these things…like a report leaked out in the media one day. I knew exactly where it came from because I made it up, it was a total lie. It was just an innocuous story.”
“I set somebody up. It was about my schedule after I was going to leave where I am…I’m like ‘Yeah, I’m going out….I forget what I said….but I’m going out to Fleming Steak House tonight.’”
“I wasn’t going out to Fleming’s; I was traveling back to Florida. I knew I was the only….and I confronted him on it. I knew who it was….we had to play this little game.”
“So we walked into this total shitshow, this Biden mess, you know, illegals everywhere. The FBI focused on locking up Donald Trump and not bad guys.

John Fetterman / Screenshot NBC
Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania is once again showing himself to be the most reasonable member of his party.
Following the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, Fetterman is calling on his fellow Democrats to drop their Trump Derangement Syndrome and support construction of the White House Ballroom.
This will earn him more scorn from the rabid far-left wing of his party, but he doesn’t seem to care. Good for him.
FOX News reported:
Fetterman breaks with Democrats after shooting scare, backs Trump on major White House project
Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., broke party lines again after the close call at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner this weekend, siding with President Donald Trump’s push to build a ballroom at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Fetterman, who has repeatedly shown he is willing to defy his party, posted on X that he was “there front and center” at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner when the shooting occurred Saturday night. The alleged shooter, 31-year-old California resident Cole Allen, broke through multiple layers of Secret Service security at the Washington Hilton and nearly opened fire in a room where the president, vice president and other key administration and federal officials were present.
“After witnessing last night,” Fetterman called for people to “drop the TDS [Trump derangement syndrome] and build the White House ballroom.”
He said the purpose of the ballroom would be to host events “exactly like these.”
“We were there front and center,” he wrote. “That venue wasn’t built to accommodate an event with the line of succession for the U.S. government.”

After the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner this weekend, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz published a tweet claiming that he is against political violence.
He could have fooled us.
Just last week, Walz attended a far left conference in Barcelona, Spain and bashed President Trump as a fascist. Greg Gutfeld later accused Walz of treason for doing this.
This is the tweet Walz published after the shooting:

Political violence has become all too prevalent in America. I’m grateful for the swift response from law enforcement at White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

What do they expect is going to happen? They encourage this behavior.

Rep. Rosa DeLauro goes crazy after Lee Zeldin exposes her ignorance on Supreme Court law (Credit: C-SPAN 3 screenshot)
Congress’s purple-haired congresswoman had a near-complete meltdown after EPA administrator Lee Zeldin completely embarrassed her during an an exchange on ‘climate change’ and the law.
On Monday, Zeldin testified before the House Appropriations Committee regarding President Trump’s 2027 budget request. As The Washington Examiner notes, the proposed budget would cut the agency’s budget in half if approved by Congress.
During the hearing, Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) angrily attacked Zeldin for “appeasing polluters” and ignoring Americans under “the false flag of economic growth.”
Zeldin responded by explaining that he’s following the law, pointing out that it says nothing about fighting climate change.
Then, he asked DeLauro if she was familiar with the Loper Bright Supreme Court case.
Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo is a landmark Supreme Court case in 2024 which overturned the long-standing Chevron doctrine, fundamentally altering the balance of power between the judiciary and federal agencies.
The Chevron doctrine, established in the 1984 case Chevron U.S.A. Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, has long been a source of contention. It granted deference to federal agencies in interpreting ambiguous statutes, effectively allowing unelected bureaucrats to make laws through their regulatory actions.
However, by a 6-3 majority, SCOTUS declared that such power is unconstitutional and goes against the principles of democratic governance.
DeLauro had no clue what Zeldin was talking about and went berserk:
“You do not, excuse, you don’t have the right to say climate change does not exist, that it’s a hoax!” she yelled at the EPA Administrator.
The exchange got even worse for DeLauro when Zeldin exposed her for not knowing about another landmark Supreme Court decision: West Virginia Vs. EPA.
In this 2022 case, The Court determined by a 6-3 margin that Congress did not authorize the EPA to compel existing power plants to combat climate change using the Clean Air Act, thereby curbing the agency’s authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from them.
All DeLauro could do was yell at Zeldin and finally snapped completely by saying, “I don’t have to listen to this BS!”

LMFAO! Purple haired psycho Rep. Rosa DeLauro goes BERSERK on EPA Admin Lee Zeldin because he’s not a climate change cultist

DELAURO: When climate change is flooding our streets, poisoning our air…how can the EPA justify abandoning that duty to protect Americans to appease polluters under the false flag of economic growth?
ZELDIN: Following the law: section 202 of the Clean Air Act. Where does it say anything about fighting global climate change?
Loper Bright Supreme Court case, are you familiar with it?
DELAURO: Maybe others are but I’m not…
ZELDIN: Loper Bright says that we as an agency don’t have the authority to get creative, if Section 202 of the Clean Air Act…
DELAURO: You do not, excuse, you don’t have the right to say climate change does not exist, that it’s a hoax! And that’s what your administration…
ZELDIN: I understand you’re upset, you don’t know what Loper Bright is. Do you know what the Major Policies Doctrine is?
You’re a member of Congress you should know.
DELAURO: You’ve moved from someone who defended the environment to all of a sudden…
ZELDIN: You’re getting defensive for not knowing the two biggest Supreme Court cases of the last year.
DELAURO: And you are very defensive about changing your policy and your position!
ZELDIN: Do you want me tell you the two biggest Supreme Court cases of the last few years are?
DELAURO: You’re here because you need money from us, so hold up for a second! Wait for the questions and answer the questions!
ZELDIN: I answered your question and you didn’t like my answer because you don’t know what Loper Bright is, what EPA vs. West Virginia is….Because you’re asking me about Section 202 of the Clean Air Act and you don’t read it, you don’t know what it says.
DELAURO: You want to deny…
ZELDIN: No, I actually read the law. I do my homework. You’re just someone who likes to have the microphone on.
DEALURO: This is the appropriations committee!
ZELDIN: Oh, you care about science and now you want to defund it? Because you don’t know what Loper Bright is, you don’t know what the Major Policies Act is.
DELAURO: I don’t have to listen to this BS!
ZELDIN: BS? You think I made up these cases?

A newly resurfaced recording of a damning phone call has revealed that Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass was warned about the potential for the dangerous and destructive wildfires that swept through southern California more than a year ago.
She had all of this information before she left the country for a trip to Ghana. She went anyway.
It’s just another reminder of how incompetent Bass is as a mayor. The people of Los Angles were doomed before the fires even began.
PJ Media reports:
In the leaked audio, Bass was reportedly talking to John Alle, a local resident and property manager in the Santa Monica and Westlake areas. Alle himself confirmed this here.
Reports are that Elle called Bass on Jan. 4, 2025, warning her about the risks tied to the weather, the wind, and dry conditions. In the call, Alle said he tried to convince Bass not to leave for Africa, but in the secretly recorded audio, she told Elle she had no intention of canceling her trip in spite of all his warnings.
To be sure, we have not been able to verify with 100% certainty the validity of this leaked audio, but it is worth noting that neither Bass nor her office has disputed the call’s authenticity and the content of the audio.
This is the transcript of the call:
Bass says, “The situation is very dangerous, and I would never do… I will take the criticism before I do a publicity stunt, and frankly a press conference at this point in time would just be publicity.”
Elle interrupts with, “I think my neighbors, property owners, and the residents – 41,000 people live within a square mile here. Two families share a one-bedroom apartment…”
Bass then says, “But they wanna hear that something is gonna be done.”
Elle replies, “They want to know it’s recognized.”
Bass then gets creepily cryptic, “Exactly, but if I have a choice between that and compromising something, I just have to go along with it. It’s not my area of expertise. I wanna make sure that you are safe. And hopefully you can read in between the lines. But I would just appreciate… and it’s hard for me to tell you this, but um, hold tight. You will understand soon.”
The two then indicate they now understand each other, and Bass then adds, “And when I am able to talk, I will be happy to go into great detail.”
Elle reminds Bass, “You’ve got me on the street, and you’re welcome to call me at any time, I’ll call you right back.”
On the matter of her plans to travel to Ghana in the midst of this crisis, Bass tells Elle, “Just in terms of my trip, just so you know I’m missing two work days. That’s it. And if President Biden extends an invitation, I took it.”

Democrats want to talk about rhetoric, but they cannot escape one damning fact.
Regardless of who uses what words, the bullets have only flown in one direction.
In the wake of Saturday’s alleged assassination attempt against President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in Washington, D.C., Democratic Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi of Illinois told CNN’s Pamela Brown that Trump bears special responsibility for the inflamed passions that have produced such acts of violence.
First, Brown played a clip of Trump commenting on political violence in general before blaming Democrats in particular.
Then, the CNN host asked the congressman for his comment.
“I think that definitely the rhetoric needs to cool,” Krishnamoorthi said in a clip posted to the social media platform X. “But remember his own rhetoric has inflamed the discourse in a way that we haven’t seen before.”

For more than 10 years, of course, Trump has indeed used colorful language to attack his political opponents. More often than not, the president used that language to fight back against Democrats’ outrageous slanders.
Moreover, in many cases, those slanders have had sinister origins and purposes. When they called him a Russian agent, for instance, Democrats had already laid the groundwork for a “treasonous conspiracy” that included the manufacturing of intelligence to perpetuate a hoax that undermined the first Trump administration.
The same thing happened after the 2017 Charlottesville protests. Democrats accused Trump of racism with their now-debunked “very fine people” hoax. In fact, last week, the Department of Justice secured 11 indictments against the extreme-leftist Southern Poverty Law Center, which stands accused of funding that event (and other hate-group leaders) to raise funds off the manufactured racism.
In other words, with Democrats, there exists a correlation between words and actions.
For instance, in the same CNN interview, Krishnamoorthi subtly tried to legitimize the attempted violence against Trump.
“There’s tremendous, as you can understand, concern, given the threat levels that are going up, in part because of the president and now three assassination attempts on him, his very low approval ratings, which unfortunately fuel a lot of disaffection,” the congressman said in another clip posted to X.

UNREAL. Democrat Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi blames President Trump for the assassination attempts against him instead of blaming the left-wing lunatic shooter:
“The president… has very low approval ratings which fuel a lot of disaffection.” pic.twitter.com/a5da2GEBV1
— Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) April 27, 2026

When, therefore, the president has low approval ratings, we should expect violence? No Republican ever took a shot at the wildly unpopular former President Joe Biden.
Unfortunately, Democrats do not behave the same way. Convinced of their own righteousness, they produce foot soldiers who justify murder.
In fact, not only do they justify it, they celebrate it. Thousands of unhinged leftists went online to gloat following the September assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
Thus, Krishnamoorthi can say whatever he likes about Trump’s rhetoric. The fact remains that in the present era — call it the Trump Era — the purveyors of violence have only targeted Republicans.

A federal judge in Maryland has sided with a group of immigrants from countries flagged for terror risks and national security threats, blocking USCIS from pausing their green card applications.
U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, Judge George L. Russell III, an Obama appointee, issued a sweeping preliminary injunction on Friday, blocking USCIS Director Joseph B. Edlow from enforcing two key Policy Memoranda (PM-602-0192 and PM-602-0194) that placed adjudicatory holds on green card (Form I-485) applications from nationals of dozens of “Countries of Identified Concern.”
These policies were a direct response to President Trump’s Presidential Proclamations 10949 and 10998, which rightly restricted entry from high-risk nations lacking proper screening and vetting capabilities, such as Iran, Afghanistan, Syria, Venezuela, Eritrea, and more.
This is to enhance national security reviews to keep terrorists, criminals, and public safety threats out of our communities.
But this judge, in a 39-page Memorandum Opinion, ruled the holds “arbitrary and capricious,” claiming USCIS failed to adequately consider “reliance interests” of the 83 plaintiffs (many from these exact hot spots) who want their green cards processed ASAP. The court ordered the government to resume processing these applications, potentially within 30 days.
The Daily Record reported:
The 83 Maryland plaintiffs sued in January and asked for a preliminary injunction against the hold on applications by people from those countries. They alleged the indefinite pause would cause irreparable harm to their careers, businesses and families.
All but three of the plaintiffs are citizens of Afghanistan, Eritrea, Iran, Syria or Venezuela, which are all on the list; the other three are married to citizens of those countries. Twenty-five are spouses or children of the other 58.
Russell noted that many are scientists and researchers who are unable to attend international conferences while their residency applications are pending. Others alleged in the complaint that they have had to postpone decisions about having children due to the uncertainty.
Russell granted their request for a preliminary injunction, deciding to preserve the status quo before the indefinite pause. He ruled that the USCIS policy memorandum counts as a “final agency action” eligible for court review.
The order only applies to the 83 plaintiffs.
Russell ruled that they were likely to succeed on the merits of their claims, that they were likely to suffer irreparable harm without final decisions on their applications and that a preliminary injunction would serve the public interest.
He declined, however, to order the agency to process the applications within 30 days, as the plaintiffs requested, because they are in different stages. Some of them have provided the required biometrics data — including fingerprints, photos and signatures — and are awaiting final approval, while others only submitted their applications shortly before the complaint was filed.

Romania’s Calin Georgescu and George Simion: anti-Globalists
Will Romania rise against Globalist control?
All of us conservatives that are paying attention to what’s happening in Europe were left saddened, frustrated, and angry when Romania canceled the 2024 election won by right-winger and anti-Globalist Calin Georgescu with a half-baked excuse of ‘Russian interference’.

The ‘pro-Europe’ (a.k.a. Globalist) government that emerged from the re-do of the election is now collapsing, and there’s a considerable possibility that the Brussels coup may be undone.
Today, it arises that Romania’s largest party, the Social ‌Democrats, will team up with the rightwing opposition ‘Alliance for Uniting Romanians’ to unseat the liberal Brussels-allied coalition.

The #AUR Party will submit a motion of censure against the current government, which has ruined the Romanian economy and impoverished the people.
