A barge on the Ohio River moves past the Mountaineer Power Plant, a coal-fired power plant near New Haven, W.Va., on March 13, 2026. Carolyn Kaster/AP PhotoThe Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on April 9 proposed sweeping changes to federal rules governing the disposal of coal ash, a toxic waste product that can carry heavy metals such as mercury, lead, and cobalt into surrounding groundwater.The proposal would ease monitoring requirements near some coal ash disposal sites, eliminate mandates requiring companies to remediate entire coal plant properties rather than only the specific areas where ash was deposited, and make it simpler to…

Illinois lawmakers’ obsession with getting in children’s minds is getting creepier, with multiple controversial bills in the legislature this session targeting students in the state.From mandated “social-emotional” indoctrination to more forced “mental-health education,” Big Pharma-funded lawmakers appear to believe that doing more of the same thing will somehow achieve different results for Illinois children. It will not. The initiatives are disguised as efforts to improve the social, emotional, and mental wellbeing of children. Get Daily Emails But in reality, the bills are yet another foundational step toward a national system for psychological conditioning and manipulating children’s attitudes, beliefs, and worldview. The language being used…
It is absurd to think one can make a deal with people who murder school children. Here we go again. Trump is sending two Zionists—the real estate developer Steve Witkoff, son-in-law Jared Kushner, and VP J.D. Vance—to Islamabad, Pakistan, this weekend to “engage with the Iranians,” as CNN, soon to be owned by the Ellison Zionists, put it. It seems everything is coming up Zionist these days. Apparently, even the Iranians are not disturbed by this, considering the murderous treachery of past “engagements.” Karoline Leavitt, the Barbie of Trumpian propaganda, went before the cameras, more than likely after a prayer circle with her team…
It has been three days since the two-week ceasefire between the US, Israel, and Iran began. Whereas President Donald Trump has appeared upbeat about the truce, Iran has been, well, Iran. Whatever remains of the Tehran government has been whining that the US is breaking the agreement. But is this just a case of the pot calling the kettle black? News clips from Israel show Iranian ballistic missiles raining down on Tel Aviv and Jerusalem after the ceasefire. Nevertheless, the negotiating challenge is to take the ten-point Iranian proposal and come away with something that is not silly on its…
By Liberty Nation Authors President Trump took a big risk on rescuing the downed airman – here’s why it was really worth it.
Since the end of World War Two, Washington has targeted medical centers in at least 16 countries and Israel destroyed nearly every medical facility in Gaza. The 307 Iranian sites hit do not even come close to the record for the number of hospitals in any country destroyed by American bombs and missiles.The United States and Israel are systematically targeting hospitals in Iran. In one month of bombing, the two countries have hit at least 307 health centers across the country, according to reports from the Iranian Red Crescent. The carefully planned destruction of the Islamic Republic’s medical infrastructure fits…
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Friday he was open to ceasefire talks with Lebanon a day after its bombing of the country reportedly killed the Hezbollah security chief Naim Qassem.Lebanon retaliated to the Israeli strikes by sending around 70 missiles over its border into northern Israel, though those strikes reportedly caused only minor damage. Israel’s continued clashes with Lebanon, its neighbor to the north, have endangered the U.S. peace talks with Iran. Now, Netanyahu said he is open to talks with Lebanese leaders, though he did not promise to halt attacks on Lebanon-based Hezbollah rebels during the talks.…
Artificial intelligence (AI) is causing a “software scare” in the technology industry. Scores of companies have been spooked by the potential for AI to upend business models and trigger a selloff in tech stocks, from Microsoft to Oracle. As the sector navigates through the turbulence and acclimates to the environment, companies are trimming the fat by laying off US workers. Despite executives losing sleep over the rise of Skynet, they still have an appetite for H1B workers. Starving for H1B Workers In recent years, employment in the software industry – coders, designers, processors, and publishers – has fallen by about…
Just finished a weekend run from Laredo to Atlanta, waiting to get reloaded for a trip West this morning, considering Luke 16:1-9.Using my AI Bible study assistant, the consensus of reformed and Puritan commentators serves as a corrective and a tonic to modern, often anemic and apathetic, Christians in affluent America. Jesus is not praising the actions of the parable’s main character. He’s drawing attention to his resourceful sense of urgency when he realizes that life as he knows it is coming to an end. Get Daily Emails For us, life as we know it, is also coming to an…
The fallout from Kristi Noem’s departure from the Department of Homeland Security is continuing to ripple through Washington, with several of her closest aides losing their footing after following her into a new role at the State Department. According to the New York Post, three former DHS staffers — Troup Hemenway, Josh King, and Octavian Miller — were placed on paid leave shortly after Noem transitioned into her new position as a special envoy tied to a Western Hemisphere initiative, according to a source familiar with the situation. The move came quickly after Noem was removed from her DHS post,…
U.K. Prime Minister Kier Starner said he is “fed up” with the way President Donald Trump and Russian Premier Vladimir Putin are affecting world energy prices, and he said the U.K.’s economy should take a “new path.” Starmer said the energy crisis caused by the Israeli- and U.S.-led war in Iran should become turning point after 20 years of crises. “Britain has been buffeted by crises for nearly two decades,” Starmer wrote in a special editorial published in The Guardian. “We should not be at the mercy of events abroad. “The war in Iran must now become a line in the…
Drew Thomas Allen’s Clinton Hoax, Obama Coup: The Declassified Story of the Trump–Russia Delusion is the book that previous authors on the scandal could only dream of writing. Published in 2026, it arrives with the full weight of Tulsi Gabbard’s declassifications as Director of National Intelligence, the Durham report, the Horowitz IG findings, and—most crucially—the long-buried Russian intelligence memos that the FBI received as early as January 2016 but chose to sideline. While earlier works like Gregg Jarrett’s The Russia Hoax, Andrew McCarthy’s Ball of Collusion, and Lee Smith’s The Plot Against the President laid important groundwork, they were constrained by classified material. Allen’s book…
Things move fast in wartime, and the geopolitical situation in the Middle East might very well have shifted by the time this piece publishes. Nonetheless, Tuesday night’s ceasefire agreement between Iran and the United States is a wonderful step in the right direction. It should be praised. Peace is a good thing. I have long maintained that war in the Middle East is not in America’s interest and that war with Iran would be unproductive and should be avoided. I want Donald Trump’s domestic agenda of strong immigration enforcement, law and order, and economic growth to succeed. War abroad detracts…
Mark Meador, holding down the fort at the Federal Trade Commission, with only FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson as his colleague, seems to be living his best life. Meador is busy giving speeches that are crisp, lively, and rich in historical analogy. His speeches are also reasonable-sounding justifications for extreme “America First” antitrust ideology—at times resembling some of the worst excesses of former FTC Chair Lina Khan’s progressive agenda and European Union statist regulation. In all its permutations, reemergent aggressive antitrust ideology has one thing in common: hubris. Consider Meador’s critique of “a common claim made about digital markets: that the…
Only about 10 days after the brutal and senseless murder of Chicago college student Sheridan Gorman, Mayor Brandon Johnson was heard expressing his fear that illegal immigrants are feeling unsafe in Chicago. Sadly, Johnson was seen once again bleating about the Trump administration’s “assaults against immigrants” even after a Venezuelan illegal alien murdered an innocent white teen. Johnson appeared on March 28 during the anti-American “No Kings” rally weekend in the Windy City and blasted the Trump administration for “assaulting” immigrants. “We have [to] end the assaults against immigrants,” Johnson exclaimed, according to WFLD-TV. “We have to get active. First of…
(Thérèse Boudreaux, The Center Square) A resolution to halt U.S. military hostilities in Iran failed to advance in the U.S. House pro forma session Thursday.House Democrats attempted to obtain unanimous consent to pass a War Powers Resolution restricting the Trump administrations’ ability to conduct military operations in Iran without the authorization of Congress. The Republican presiding refused to acknowledge the resolution and ended the session, marking the second time since the Iran conflict started that a War Powers Resolution failed in the House. Rep. Glenn Ivey, D-Md., said in a news conference afterward that “things are out of control” in…
(Andrew Rice, The Center Square) About $607 million was stolen from EBT accounts in 2025, according to a new report.[embedded content] Propel, an EBT benefits tracking program, found large amounts of benefit theft from cards used as a part of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP. Among people whose benefits were stolen, 56% said they skipped or reduced meals and 43% reported going into further debt.

He said the theft Propel tracked…
(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) President Donald Trump minced no words in a lengthy and fiery rebuke of podcast hosts Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens and Alex Jones amid their criticisms over the U.S.’s military operations in Iran. “They’re stupid people, they know it, their families know it, and everyone else knows it, too! Look at their past, look at their record. They don’t have what it takes, and they never did!” Trump wrote on Truth Social. His comments come as part of a 482-word takedown that directly accuses Carlson, Kelly, Owens and Jones of seemingly stirring controversy for views engagement. “They’ve all been thrown off Television, lost their Shows, and aren’t even invited on TV because…
News consumer, beware: journalists are trying to redefine what “objective” means. They think objectivity is for losers who don’t have the guts to stand up for “the right side of history.” Take CNN, which brands itself as an anti-Trump outfit. In an interview with CNN host Dana Bash for Modern Luxury magazine, writer Michael McCarthy summarized: “Where once the journalistic mandate was often framed as presenting opposing viewpoints and allowing the audience to decide, Bash argues that such symmetry no longer suffices.” Forget “symmetry.” Imbalance is in. Bash argued that objective reporting now means “objectively” challenging the lies of public…
Does it ever seem like certain types of crimes get ignored or played down by legacy media? As humorist David Burge (Iowahawk) famously stated, “journalism is about covering important stories. With a pillow, until they stop moving.” We aim to correct this by bringing you the crime stories the media hate to cover in our new daily feature, America’s Crime Blotter, where we’ll be sharing news about left-wing political violence, illegal immigrant crime, out-of-proportion black criminality, Islamic terrorism, and more.

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration is suddenly touting a major hospice fraud “bust” in Los Angeles County after mounting warnings and accusations that officials allowed the scheme to spiral out of control.The charges, announced Thursday by California Attorney General Rob Bonta and the Newsom-led Department of Health Care Services, target 21 individuals accused of orchestrating a scheme that cost taxpayers $267 million. Bonta unveiled the charges as the Trump administration, federal prosecutors and congressional leaders intensify scrutiny of widespread hospice fraud in California, an issue critics say was enabled by the state’s lax oversight. Reports suggest the fraud…
HONOLULU (CN) — When jet fuel seeped into the tap water at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam in 2021, thousands of military families bathed in it, cooked with it, and gave it to their children to drink. Now, the U.S. government is arguing those actions count as happening during the course of military service.On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Leslie Kobayashi in Honolulu, Hawaii, presided over a hearing on a motion to dismiss one of several lawsuits arising from the 2021 Red Hill water contamination disaster — this one brought by active-duty service members.The government says that when service members were cooking, bathing,…

China is buying American oil.Not a token amount. Enough to cover the gap in its Asian fuel markets opened by a war Beijing is allegedly winning. Asia Times reported it earlier this month: Chinese refiners are importing US crude to keep Asian fuel supplies flowing through the Iran conflict.

By Doug Reed, Op-ed contributor Friday, April 10, 2026Israel flag with a view of old city Jerusalem and the Western Wall. | Getty ImagesOne of the quiet assumptions shaping much of modern Christian theology is that Israel has been spiritually eclipsed. The Church, we are told, sometimes subtly, sometimes explicitly, has replaced Israel as the focal point of God’s redemptive purposes. Israel belongs to the past; the Church belongs to the present and future.And yet, the Book of Acts refuses to cooperate with this assumption. If we allow Acts to speak on its own terms: historically, geographically, and biblically, it…

The Texas Rangers have opened a criminal investigation into Camp Mystic, the all-girls Christian camp located in Hunt, Texas, where 25 campers and two counselors were killed during the historic July 4, 2025, flood.Multiple lawsuits have been filed by parents who lost their daughters at the camp alleging gross negligence and other claims. In February, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick urged the Texas Department of State Health Services to not issue a license for the camp to operate until state investigations are concluded. Since then, two more investigations have been opened. Patrick again contacted DSHS urging the agency to not issue…
A 38-year-old illegal immigrant charged with snatching a 4-year-old girl from a Patchogue, New York, laundromat was re-arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement after local authorities released him back into the community, the Department of Homeland Security told the New York Post.Carlos Corte had been arrested by Suffolk County police on March 28 for the alleged kidnapping. He was arraigned in First District Court in Central Islip, pleaded not guilty, and walked out on non-monetary release conditions. DHS says he should never have been freed, and that “sanctuary politicians” are to blame. The case lays bare, once again, the…
Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested a Mexican national wanted for murder this week during a targeted operation in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, pulling a fugitive off American streets who had allegedly killed a woman in the Mexican state of Sinaloa nearly seven years ago.Jose Gustavo Angulo Bernal now sits in ICE custody pending deportation to Mexico, where he faces murder charges. Mexican police allege he killed a woman in November 2018 and dumped her body in El Tamarindo, Sinaloa.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told American service members Tuesday they have “a duty to refuse illegal orders”, a striking call from a sitting lawmaker aimed directly at undermining the military chain of command while President Donald Trump presses Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and meet other demands. Fox News Digital reported that the New York Democrat issued her statement after Trump posted on Truth Social what the outlet described as a warning about bombing some of Iran’s civilian infrastructure if Tehran did not comply by an 8 p.m. Eastern time deadline.The move was not hers alone. House Democratic leadership,…
The California Supreme Court on Wednesday ordered Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco to stop his investigation into alleged fraud in last November’s special election, directing him to preserve more than 650,000 ballots his office had already seized from local election officials. The order freezes a probe that had become one of the most contentious election-integrity fights in the country, and hands a significant procedural win to the state’s Democratic attorney general.The court’s language left little room for ambiguity. It told Bianco, his agents, his employees, and “anyone acting on their behalf” to pause the investigation into the November 2025 special…
A federal judge sentenced Jasveen Sangha, the drug dealer known as “the Ketamine Queen”, to 15 years in prison for supplying the ketamine that killed actor Matthew Perry. United States District Judge Sherilyn Peace Garnett handed down the sentence, matching the term prosecutors had recommended.Sangha is the third of five defendants to be sentenced in connection with Perry’s death.

Bodycam footage played in a Fort Worth, Texas, courtroom Wednesday captured the moment Tanner Horner, the FedEx driver who abducted and killed seven-year-old Athena Strand, told officers he could lead them to the child, and then described how he disposed of her body. “She wasn’t alive when I put her in the truck,” Horner said on the recording. “I just kind of tossed her in.”The footage was presented during the punishment phase of Horner’s trial, days after the 34-year-old pleaded guilty to capital murder of a child under ten and aggravated kidnapping. Jurors must now decide whether he will face…
Two young men from Pennsylvania plotted to kill as many as 60 people in an ISIS-inspired bombing outside the New York City mayor’s residence, federal prosecutors alleged in an indictment released Tuesday. The charges describe a chilling, premeditated attempt at domestic terrorism that failed only because the explosives did not detonate as planned.Emir Balat, 18, and Ibrahim Kayumi, 19, are charged with attempting to detonate two explosives outside Gracie Mansion on March 7 during an anti-Islam protest. A third bomb was found in their car. Neither device went off as intended, and no one was injured, but the indictment paints…
Chris Taylor, a former Democratic state legislator running as an independent, defeated Republican-endorsed Maria Lazar on Tuesday night to claim a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, the Associated Press projects. Taylor took 60.8% of the vote to Lazar’s 39.1%, a margin that wasn’t close and a result that carries consequences conservatives in the Badger State will feel for years.The victory flips the seat held by retiring Justice Rebecca Bradley and gives liberal justices a 5-2 supermajority on the court. NBC News reported that the new balance puts the majority out of reach for conservatives until at least 2030. That…
Speaker Mike Johnson’s allies are openly fuming after what they describe as a “bait and switch” on a Department of Homeland Security funding bill, a sudden reversal that left rank-and-file House Republicans blindsided during a conference call and raised fresh questions about the Speaker’s grip on his own caucus.Johnson initially rejected a Senate-backed plan to fund most of DHS while leaving immigration enforcement agencies out of the deal. He directed House members to pass a 60-day stopgap bill instead. Days later, after closed-door discussions with the White House, he abandoned that measure and agreed to the Senate’s two-track approach, the…

A federal judge in Washington ordered the Pentagon on Thursday to restore full press access for credentialed journalists, ruling that the Department of Defense failed to comply with an earlier court decision. U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman found that the Pentagon obstructed reporters and did not fully implement his March 20 ruling, which held that the DoD’s 2025 press policy violated the First Amendment. The earlier order required officials to reinstate press credentials for reporters covering the Pentagon, including journalists from The New York Times and other outlets covering the U.S. military.Friedman said the Pentagon could not sidestep his ruling…
Credit: Getty Images When the state of Maryland legalized the sale of marijuana a few years ago, they decided that they would set aside a few dollars from each sale to go into a reparations fund which would pay for all sorts of social programs. Now the fund has $35 million in it but almost none of the money has been paid out because pretty much everyone involved is fighting for control of the fund. Who could have predicted that such a thing would happen? It’s probably safe to assume that lots of people are going to be very disappointed…

A group of Republican Ohio lawmakers want to significantly restrict sports betting in Ohio, banning all gambling on college sports and bets placed on cell phones.The move to take away options from bettors comes three years after the state approved legalized sports wagering, and it collected billions in taxes over that time. But State Rep. Riordan McClain, R-Upper Sandusky, thinks it’s all too much. “It’s impossible to watch the games or even listen to sports content without being bombarded with advertisements and offers from gambling companies, particularly focused on the winning,” McClain said. And he believes the reality is that…
