Former Irish Minister of State Michael Healy-Rae (center) – photo by Houses of the Oireachtas/Wiki Commons Ireland is erupting against the government. We have been following the massive protests taking place across Ireland on TGP, as angry citizens protest the cost of fuel and the government’s suicidal energy policies.

Jerome Powell’s days as Federal Reserve chairman are numbered. That’s according to President Donald Trump, who spoke with Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo in an interview that aired Wednesday morning. “If he’s not leaving on time — I’ve held back firing him, I’ve wanted to fire him, but I hate to be controversial,” Trump said. Powell’s tenure is up on May 15. Trump has picked Kevin Warsh to replace him on April 21 when a confirmation hearing will be held. The ongoing federal investigation into Powell has complicated the matter. Democrats and some Republicans have said the investigation is politically motivated. Powell…
The Justice Department has fired at least four prosecutors who handled FACE cases during the Biden administration, including longtime federal prosecutor Sanjay Patel of the Civil Rights Division’s criminal section. The terminations came as the Trump administration’s weaponization working group released an 800-page report exposing how the Biden Justice Department weaponized the FACE Act to target peaceful pro-life Americans while largely ignoring violence against pregnancy resource centers and churches. A Justice Department spokesperson confirmed the firings, stating: “The department has terminated the employment of personnel responsible for weaponizing the FACE Act who still remained at the department.” Click Like if…
Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech Braden “Clavicular” Peters, a so-called “looksmaxxing” influencer who’s gained notoriety for advocating for ill-advised and dangerous attempts to look more attractive, has been hospitalized after suffering a suspected overdose Tuesday evening — a perfect illustration of why the looksmaxxing movement is a death cult that pushes deadly practices on young people by exploiting their insecurity. Several people could be seen carrying the 20-year-old’s limp body into a black vehicle after his livestream was suddenly cut short. Per People, Peters was slurring his words…

So let’s talk about one Virginia woman … ABIGAIL SPANBERGER’S CREEPING APOCALYPSE The most extreme human fantasies about the apocalypse cast it usually as a sudden and irreversible rubicon.

As a result of the Iran conflict and U.S. actions in Panama and Venezuela, American control over global oil supplies has expanded significantly, while the power of Iran, Russia, and China has declined. The ongoing U.S.-Iran war has closed the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow waterway through which approximately 20% of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas normally transits daily, triggering the largest energy supply disruption in the history of global oil markets. The closure has paralyzed China’s Belt and Road shipping infrastructure, eliminated Iran’s primary source of government revenue, and forced the world’s buyers to seek reliable alternative…
“Hampshire College — one of the most progressive in the nation,” will “shut down,” reports The College Fix: One of the most progressive colleges in the nation, Hampshire College, announced Tuesday it will shut down permanently, as it is out of cash and out of options. “The College no longer has the resources to sustain full operations and meet our regulatory responsibilities,” President Jenn Chrisler stated in an announcement, adding the Board of Trustees voted to permanently close the college following the fall 2026 semester….

The Maine legislature this week passed a statewide ban on the development of certain datacenters for the next months.The legislation bars data centers using more than 20 megawatts of power, according to The Hill. It comes amid growing backlash to the development of such facilities over concerns about their effects on local energy costs and the environment. Data centers have become contentious in recent years, largely due to their perceived impact on energy costs. Polling data has shown broad support for requiring data centers to produce their own energy, independent of local grids, as a countermeasure. A recent study from…
The possibility of extending the ceasefire before it expires next week is becoming more likely. Officials in the region said they are making progress toward restarting negotiations, and the U.S. and Iran have a tentative agreement to extend the ceasefire to allow that to happen, the Associated Press reported, citing an unnamed source. The U.S. blockade on ships leaving Iranian ports has threatened the ceasefire agreement, and while a formal agreement hasn’t been finalized, the U.S. is continuing to engage with Iran on an extension. A senior Iranian official has threatened a complete block on exports and imports into the Persian…
Police in Omaha shot and killed a woman they say kidnapped a young boy inside a Walmart. The suspect then took the boy outside and slashed him with a knife, police say. The suspect approached a woman shopping at the Walmart, brandishing a large knife, which she’d shoplifted from inside the store. Deputy Chief Scott Gray said the suspect told the woman to walk in front of the shopping cart, which she followed with the child at knifepoint, CBS News reported. Police responded to a 911 call, and they confronted the woman outside the store. The suspect then began “swiping the…
President Donald Trump on Wednesday indicated he was “prepared” to nominate replacements for Associate Justices Clarence Thomas, 77, and Samuel Alito, 76, should they retire.”I’m prepared to do it,” he said on Fox News. “It could be two [justices], could be three, could be one. I don’t know.” His remarks follow Senate Majority Leader John Thune telling the Washington Examiner on Tuesday that the Senate would be ready to move swiftly on confirming replacements should they retire in the near future. During his first term, Trump named three justices to the bench, including Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney…

If you haven’t read Ed’s piece about Trump’s blockade of Iran’s shipping, do so now. The blockade is doing exactly what it is intended to do, and it is only a day old. Advertisement For weeks, we have all been reading about how Iran holds all the high cards, and once Trump agreed to a cease-fire, think pieces that bordered on outright celebration of the “fact” that Iran’s survival showed that it had won a war that was not over yet. Our “friends” and “allies” have sided with Iran, and Pravda Media has been pumping out pro-Iran propaganda at a steady…
Since the United States was founded nearly 250 years ago, Americans have felt a strong connection to the land. Almost all of the Founding Fathers were farmers, including George Washington, James Madison, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson, who once said: “The small landholders are the most precious part of a state.” “A man who cultivated his own soil was immune to moral corruption, Jefferson said, unlike the deplorable merchants who ‘have no country’ and therefore no real attachment to their nation,” author Andrea Wulf wrote in Founding Gardeners: The Revolutionary Generation, Nature and the Shaping of the American Nation. Americans…
[[File:Pope Leo XIV 3.png|Pope_Leo_XIV_3]]Pope Leo met with shadowy Democrat operative David Axelrod, and together they appear to have decided the Pope could help defeat the Trump agenda in November. Pope Leo XIV is spouting Democrat talking points, pushing open borders, and assailing President Trump’s character to turn Catholics against Republicans and the agenda before the midterms. I don’t think it will work. Conservative Catholics don’t want what they have on their POLITICAL, not RELIGIOUS, agenda. As a Catholic, I will not question the Pope’s heart in this. He firmly believes in his leftist ideology. The Evidence First, the Pope met…

By Wayne Allyn Root I remain 100% behind President Trump’s decision to attack Iran- the worst terrorist nation in the world. This move was like rewriting history when it comes to Churchill and Neville Chamberlain. If Winston Churchill were in power, World War 2 would never have happened. Churchill, like Trump, believed in “peace through strength.” No one likes war, no one wants war, but sometimes fighting a war in the short term saves lives and money (tons of it) in the long run. By playing nice, weak, cowardly, and accommodating to Hitler, Chamberlain’s weakness led to World War 2.…

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has confirmed that a proposed executive order requiring banks to collect citizenship information from their customers is “in process” and will likely arrive later this year. According to Just the News, the executive order was first considered earlier this year and is expected to require banks to request additional identification documents from customers to prove citizenship. Citizenship documents aren’t currently necessary to open a bank account in the United States, although citizenship verification is more common in other nations, including those in the European Union, where banks commonly accept national ID cards in place of…

It’s pretty incredible when you can get the Democrats and the media to care, suddenly, about the issue of blasphemy. I thought maybe Easter Sunday had led to some kind of unexpected revival when I saw that kind of talk making the rounds. And then I realized that, no, it was just because they were claiming President Donald Trump thought he was Jesus Christ and that gave them a good angle to appear like they cared about religion — along with the ability to ignore a bunch of other stuff they didn’t want to report on. The question therefore asks…

Olaolukitan Adon Abel The Department of Homeland Security has confirmed to Fox News that the savage behind a random, bloody murder spree in DeKalb County, Georgia, is a “United Kingdom national” who was fast-tracked into American citizenship during Joe Biden’s disastrous administration in 2022. Olaolukitan Adon Abel, 26, was arrested after carrying out a vicious early-morning shooting rampage across three separate locations in DeKalb County on Monday, April 13th.

The surging popularity of a college entrance exam is reigniting debates over the purpose of education. A handful of universities in Indiana and North Carolina will now consider the Classic Learning Test (CLT) as an alternative to ACT and SAT scores. Other states and colleges are also weighing the option. Even the Pentagon is now accepting the CLT for US military service academies. Nearly 183,000 students took the test last year, up from 291 a decade ago. Texas is taking it a step further and pushing changes to its English and social studies instruction, moving the courses toward a style…
The media may have just learned a lesson about blockades … and so may have the Iranians.Yesterday, after US Central Command (CENTCOM) declared the blockade on Iran’s ports complete, media outlets took notice of a tanker called the Rich Starry. It had previously done business with Iran, although in this case it ostensibly loaded methanol from the UAE, and operated under sanctions targeting the regime in Tehran. When the Rich Starry passed through the Strait of Hormuz yesterday and into the Gulf of Oman, media outlets questioned CENTCOM’s claim and reported that Iran and its partners would defy the blockade.…

Thank God for brave law enforcement officers.

The suspect, 31-year-old who , is dead after officers had no choice but to open fire when she refused repeated commands to drop the weapon and began viciously attacking the defenseless child in the parking lot. Police say Guzman forced the child’s guardian through…

Many Republicans have various points of disagreement with President Trump on the prioritization of policy, and some on the policy itself. However, let’s take a look at what President Trump campaigned on, “Agenda47“, and then review the results: The actual website and link is no longer available. But the 20 points of Agenda47 are as outlined above. There are, perhaps, points of criticism that would be fairly debated. However, on the big picture of campaign promises and policy execution – I would say that any intellectually honest assessment would indicate the promises are being kept.
