(Headline USA) The U.S. Secret Service said Sunday it was investigating reports of overnight gunfire near Lafayette Park, which is across the street from the White House. No injuries were reported and no suspect was found after a search of the park and the surrounding area after midnight, the agency said in an online post. President Donald Trump was spending the weekend at the White House, which had no immediate comment on the incident. White House operations remained as normal but security in the area was increased, according to the Secret Service. The park has been fenced off for weeks of…

An F-15E Strike Eagle operates in the US CENTCOM theater. USAF, Staff Sgt. Sean Carnes By Justin Bailey The U.S. military rescued the second crew member from a plane shot down over Iran. A U.S. Air Force Weapons Systems Officer (WSO) was rescued after a daring 24-hour evasion behind enemy lines in Iran, which included hiding in a mountain crevice and scaling a 7,000-foot (2,100-meter) ridgeline. The officer was part of a two-person crew on an F-15E Strike Eagle that was shot down over Iran in early April 2026. Following the ejection, the injured officer hid in a mountain crevice,…

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, the second pilot/WSO from the downed F-15 fighter jet on Friday was saved in an on-ground US rescue mission Saturday night, which involved an epic and grueling battle with Iranian forces. The pilot was successfully rescued and exfiltrated following an intense firefight. He was injured after ejecting himself from the F-15 but is now safe. What…

President Donald Trump bluntly warned Iran on Sunday in a profanity-laced social post that he will bomb the country’s energy and transportation infrastructure on Tuesday if it does not open the Strait of Hormuz and allow oil tankers to safely pass.”Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. “There will be nothing like it!!! He added: “Open the F**kin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah.” Trump had given Tehran a 10-day window to open the…
Walter Reed Medical Center. Credit: US Army/Wikimedia Commons TDS-suffering liberals with nothing better to do on Easter weekend decided to spread a huge lie about President Trump’s health and were promptly red-faced when it backfired. Throughout Saturday, Walter Reed trended on X after major left-wing accounts started claiming without evidence that President Trump had been spotted at Walter Reed Military Medical Center. Apparently, they wanted Americans to believe that since the White House had called a lid for the day, and Trump had not appeared publicly, the president must have suffered a health emergency.

“students voiced concerns about their safety and the university’s response, calling for faster and clearer communication” The post Northeastern University Students Anxious After String of Crimes Near Campus first appeared on Le·gal In·sur·rec·tion.
Blunt, unambiguous and straight to the point. That was President Donald Trump on Sunday morning as he warned Iran of the perils that lie ahead if it fails to open the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday. He made his declaration in an expletive-laden post on his Truth Social account warning bombing of vital infrastructure is sure to follow. Trump’s exhortation followed a successful U.S. special operations forces rescue that retrieved the second crew member from a downed F-15E fighter jet in Iran after a “heavy firefight,” extracting both airmen and all rescue personnel from the country, as Breitbart News reported.…
Eerily reminiscent of Desert One mission under President Carter, only this time with successful outcome After evacuating the second crew member of the downed F-15E, the U.S. had to destroy two HC-130J Combat King II rescue aircraft and two helicopters that, for unknown reasons, were unable to leave Iran. The aircraft were blown up on the ground to prevent them from falling into Iranian hands after landing at an improvised refueling site. Three additional HC-130J Combat King II aircraft were then dispatched to continue the combat search-and-rescue mission. The wreckage of a U.S. MH-6 Little Bird helicopter was spotted next…

Renaming Good Friday wasn’t such a good idea. The city government of Houston, Texas, was the target of national outrage over an announcement that its offices would be closed on Friday in observance of “the Spring Holiday.” In apparent response, the city deleted the post from the social media platform X, but by then, the damage had already been done. Conservative radio host and commentator Todd Starnes was one of those calling out the disrespect to Good Friday — the prelude to Easter, the holiest day on the Christian calendar. He compared it to Houston’s treatment of Eid al-Fitr, which…

More than one hundred United States-based international law experts have warned that American strikes on Iran may amount to war crimes. These violations come only a few months after the U.S. committed obvious war crimes when it bombed civilian boats in the Caribbean, accusing them of “narco terrorism.”Experts were citing violations of the United Nations Charter, attacks on civilian infrastructure, and alarming rhetoric from senior officials as evidence of the U.S.’s war crimes.

They are finally making some good progress with the adjustments to the game, and this would just disrupt things.

Part of it is due to broadcasting contracts, which have changed. Normally,…
A publication attributed to the Islamic State (ISIS) has appeared in its weekly magazine An Naba with graphic and textual material that documents the execution of at least two people shot at close range in northern Nigeria. The victims, according to the jihadist propaganda, were immobilized on the ground and executed with no possibility of defense. The same bulletin claims responsibility for the death of 17 Christian civilians and four Nigerian soldiers in additional operations, along with the burning of two entire localities in the region. One of the actions described took place in the village of Kautekari, where terrorists…

European countries must help reopen the Strait of Hormuz, President Donald Trump said – and he’s threatening to shut down weapons transfers to Ukraine and even leave NATO if they don’t. Now those European leaders are talking about doing just that, and they aren’t including Trump in those talks. The idea of leaving NATO isn’t new, nor is it the first of its kind to come out of the current administration. The president’s priorities have always been America First, and under his guidance, the US is abandoning globalism. Is the world now trying to move on from America, as well?…

The weekend of Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and the Easter celebration are part of the patchwork of life in the heartland. From the Eucharist to hardship reenactments of Jesus carrying the cross uphill, to the Hallelujah on Sunday. This is mentioned because one Congressman from Alabama got cute in his speech to members of a church during a rally. And as the middle of the country retraced the steps of Jesus as best as can be, it doesn’t sit well with some that the Holy Land is still at war. Sho Figures, Huh? Rep. Shomari Figures, (D-AL), in a not-so-rare…
FBI Director Kash Patel and Sen. David McCormick (R-PA) warned Wednesday in Allentown, Pa., after a fentanyl roundtable that terror sleeper cell threats in the U.S. are “real.” Patel cited two March 2026 attacks, one in Norfolk, Va., by convicted ISIS supporter Mohamed Jalloh, and another in Michigan, where a Hezbollah-radicalized man attacked a synagogue, as evidence of foreign terrorism dangers. The pair credited President Trump’s focus on homeland security. McCormick highlighted hundreds of terror watchlist crossings under Biden and criticized Democrats for a 49-day DHS funding shutdown amid the Iran conflict, calling it “absolute political theater” by Sen.

Conservatives in deep-red Warren County, Virginia, celebrated after the Sixth District Republican Committee upheld Scott Lloyd’s appeal on March 31, 2026, in Fishersville, voiding the February 12 WCRC mass meeting results. David Silek’s chairmanship win, and the committee’s reduction from 251 to 102 members, were overturned 19-5 due to fraud: Democrats voting without required renunciations, voters turned away, including Sheriff Crystal Cline’s husband, ballot-control failures, and improper leadership by a RINO-allied chairwoman. Silek defended his Democratic donations and “open doors” philosophy. Lloyd, a former Trump official, secured a new mass meeting; Silek plans a state-level appeal while conservatives and Catholics…

One arose from Nazareth, from being a regular neighbor and carpenter, to being the builder of much of the world’s spiritual architecture. He began by rising above the temptations of wealth, of glory, and power, to become a universal servant and healer. He emerged out of a small town as history’s biggest underdog . . . with a world to overcome. Jesus arose out of the synagogues of Galilee, a devout follower of the Orthodox traditions of Judaism, to begin a faithful revolution as he began to teach, not that God’s wrath was descending to engulf humanity, but that God’s…
During a break in the Constitutional Convention, prominent Philadelphian Elizabeth Powell asked Benjamin Franklin, “Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?” Franklin famously replied, “A republic, if you can keep it.” Many had feared that America would return to a monarchical form of government, much like the one that had only recently been overthrown. But few today understand the mechanism that the Founding Fathers feared might eventually turn America into a monarchy. This dreaded form would most certainly not come from a strong-willed president like Donald Trump, as suggested by the insipid “No Kings” rallies of…

NPR “public editor” Kelly McBride usually investigates complaints from coverage from die-hard NPR fans – meaning laments that NPR hasn’t been sufficiently leftist. But on April 2, one of the three complaints she answered was from the “unwoke.” The subject was the failed attempt to blow up a Michigan synagogue school by a man named Ayman Ghazali. NPR reporter Hadeel al-Shalchi went to the town in Lebanon where his family lived for a sympathetic story on the March 14 All Things Considered. McBride recounted: In a column published on Substack, Batya Ungar-Sargon wrote on March 30: NPR’s headline read, “In a…
“Basketball is for everyone,” the NBA proudly proclaims on its Diversity & Inclusion website. Chicago Bulls guard Jaden Ivey just learned that slogan comes with a rainbow-colored asterisk after he was waived for expressing his personal religious views on homosexuality and abortion. In a series of live videos on his Instagram account, the 24-year-old dared to express his Christian belief that the league’s Pride Month is “unrighteousness” and condemned abortion as the “wicked decision to murder a baby,” adding bluntly, “They call abortion good but it’s not good in the sight of God.” Hours later, the Bulls waived him for…

California politicians like Gov. Gavin Newsom have spent years pretending that California’s uniquely high gas prices are the fault of ‘greedy’ oil companies which are, for some baffling reason, willing to offer cheaper gas to the rest of the country, but hike gas prices in their state.

But that’s the kind of voter who runs the state. Still CBS News broke down the costs and predictably most of…
