Rubio Aims To Deport Pedophile

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio moves to deport an illegal immigrant who had been pardoned by Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. The individual had previously been convicted of repeatedly sexually abusing a 10-year-old child before receiving clemency from Walz.

Rubio announced that while a state pardon may affect a criminal sentence, it does not prevent federal immigration authorities from removing someone who is unlawfully in the United States. The administration says violent criminal illegal immigrants remain a top deportation priority. Here’s more from Stephen Gardner.

Democratic Dreams Fading Fast

Democrats are facing growing internal turmoil as former House Speaker Newt Gingrich argues the party is fracturing from within. He says the party is losing its identity and warns the political divide could either push moderate voters toward conservatives or create an opening for more progressive and socialist factions to gain greater influence.

Former Democrat fundraiser Lindy Li says donor confidence is collapsing after wealthy contributors allegedly discovered campaign money was being spent on luxury events, extravagant image-building, and lavish expenses instead of voter outreach and competitive races. She argues many longtime Democratic donors now feel betrayed and are refusing to write large checks because they no longer trust party leadership to spend their money responsibly.

Democrats also suffered another major political setback in Maine after Senate candidate Graham Platner suspended his campaign following a serious criminal allegation. The race had already attracted national attention, millions of dollars in campaign spending, and endorsements from prominent Democratic leaders. With the campaign now collapsing, party officials are scrambling to find a replacement candidate before filing deadlines. Here’s more from Stephen Gardner.

Haitians, Syrians Must Go!

President Donald Trump just scored another major immigration victory at the U.S. Supreme Court, and it goes straight to the heart of what his base has been demanding for years: Control over who stays and who goes.

In this new ruling, the Court said Democrats and activist groups **cannot** use the federal courts to block Trump and the Department of Homeland Security from ending **Temporary Protected Status (TPS)** for Haitians and Syrians.  In practical terms, that means the administration’s decision to wind down TPS for roughly **350,000 Haitians** and several thousand Syrians stands, and lower‑court injunctions tying Trump’s hands are gone.

It also sends a clear message: Decisions about TPS designations and terminations are executive and DHS calls, not toys for left‑wing lawyers and UN‑aligned NGOs to play with every time they dislike a president’s policy. Alex Newman, independent journalist, and author of Deep State: The Invisible Government Behind the Scenes, joins host Stephen Gardner to discuss the decision.

FBI Nabs Billion Dollar Crook

While major media outlets spend endless hours obsessing over minor Trump stories, several major developments are unfolding that could have significant political, legal, and financial consequences for Americans.

• FBI Director Kash Patel announced the capture of Herbert Leon Kimble, an alleged mastermind behind a $1.2 billion Medicare fraud scheme that targeted elderly Americans and taxpayers. Kimble was reportedly living comfortably in the Philippines before being tracked down and extradited to the United States. The arrest marks the second major capture from the FBI’s new Most Wanted Fraudsters list and highlights the administration’s focus on recovering stolen taxpayer money and prosecuting large-scale fraud.

• Moderna has received approval for a new mRNA-based flu vaccine, sparking debate among critics who question whether the benefits justify the risks. Supporters argue the technology represents the future of vaccine development, while skeptics point to concerns about effectiveness, side effects, and the influence of large pharmaceutical companies on the approval process.

• New research is drawing attention to the potential health benefits of sauna use. Some researchers suggest regular sweating may help support detoxification and overall wellness. Sauna enthusiasts report improved energy, circulation, recovery, and general well-being, fueling growing interest in heat therapy as part of a healthy lifestyle.

• Tulsi Gabbard’s final actions as Director of National Intelligence have reignited debate over COVID-era decisions, federal research funding, and gain-of-function research. The controversy centers on allegations regarding how government agencies handled information surrounding the origins of COVID-19 and whether the public received complete and accurate information during the pandemic.

Veiled Threats From Adam Schiff

Senator Adam Schiff is once again making headlines after suggesting Democrats could launch sweeping investigations into private sector companies that worked with President Donald Trump, raising concerns about political retaliation and government overreach.
Critics argue Schiff’s comments sound less like oversight and more like a warning directed at businesses that chose to partner with the Trump administration during its efforts to reshape the economy and federal government.
Republicans say the message is clear: support Trump at your own risk, because if Democrats regain power, subpoenas, investigations, and legal battles could follow.
Many voters are growing frustrated with what they see as endless political warfare instead of solutions for inflation, crime, border security, housing costs, and economic growth.
Democrats have openly discussed future impeachment efforts against Trump and members of his administration should they regain control of Congress, signaling that Washington’s political battles are far from over.
Supporters of President Trump argue these threats reveal a party disconnected from everyday Americans who care more about jobs, affordability, and public safety than another round of investigations.

Here, Joshua Philipp, a journalist with The Epoch Times, discusses Schiff’s threats with Stephen Gardner.

Wasn’t Meant To Leak

Democrats spent years calling Trump and his supporters hateful extremists – now we’re learning some of the “evidence” behind that narrative was built on a massive fundraising scam their own insiders are starting to expose. Former Democrat strategist and high‑dollar fundraiser Lindy Li is blowing the whistle on how the left weaponized fake hate stories and emotional blackmail to squeeze over $100 million out of their own voters.

She argues Democrats function more like a cult than a political party: manufacture a crisis, scream that “democracy is at stake,” and then demand cash to “fight the hate.” The Southern Poverty Law Center pipeline of “hate incidents” becomes a money‑printing machine, and every Trump voter gets smeared as a villain in the process.

At the same time, Hollywood and Democrat elites are turning on each other. First, actor George Clooney helped shove Joe Biden out of the 2024 race. Now Zach Woods – from “Veep” and “The Office” – is calling Chuck Schumer a “rat” presiding over a “hall of robots,” and says Democrat leaders are “dirty, horrible people” who get nothing done. That’s not MAGA talking – that’s their own side.

And beneath all this is a deeper crisis: no one knows who actually leads the Democrat Party anymore. Kamala Harris polls higher than Gavin Newsom but shows almost no real leadership. Barack Obama still looms over everything, while Michelle Obama’s name keeps getting floated as the fantasy savior.

Into that vacuum steps people like Lindy Li, with her upcoming book Unburdened, confessing what it was really like inside the machine. The newly exposed Democrat secret is simple and damning: the party that spends every day lecturing America about “hate” and “democracy” has been lying to its own base, cashing in on fear, and is now collapsing into open civil war.

SAVE Act On Life Support

This weekend, while corporate media chases shiny distractions, five huge Trump stories are breaking that actually matter to your life and to America’s future. First, there’s quiet but very good news on the SAVE America Act. After four Republicans betrayed voters on the first vote, a second vote flipped when Senator Susan Collins changed to “yes” following a conversation with Senator Mike Lee. That gives Trump 50 GOP votes plus VP J.D. Vance for a functional 51‑vote majority. The bill still needs 60 votes under the filibuster, but this proves that if the filibuster ever drops, Trump has the raw votes to ram through major election‑integrity reforms and big pieces of his agenda.

At the same time, the swamp is fighting back hard. A left‑wing federal judge just shredded one of Trump’s common‑sense immigration safeguards, blocking a policy that put green cards, work permits, and some asylum decisions on hold for people from 39 high‑risk countries after an Afghan migrant allegedly shot two National Guard troops. Trump based the pause on security data and taxpayer costs; the judge smeared it as “anti‑immigrant,” reopening the pipeline and putting foreign interests ahead of American workers.

Out in California, confidence in elections is taking another hit as late mail‑in ballot dumps erode Spencer Pratt’s lead and heavily favor far‑left Nithya Raman, while the establishment shrugs and says, “That’s just how mail‑ins work.” And overseas, Trump is walking a tightrope: nearly 100 days into his “Epic Fury” campaign on Iran, U.S. forces are still intercepting drones and missiles while Tehran blames America for “breaking” a ceasefire Iran keeps violating. Meanwhile, Zelensky has suddenly called for direct talks with Putin and a temporary ceasefire, trying to grab the world’s attention before Ukraine falls off Washington’s radar.

Taken together, these stories show exactly where we are: Trump is gaining leverage in the Senate, exposed by activist judges at home, undercut by sketchy election systems, and tested abroad—yet still fighting to put American citizens first. Here’s more from Stephen Gardner.

Trump Exposes Bad Ballots

President Donald Trump is sounding the alarm, saying significant, new evidence has already been uncovered suggesting the Democrats plan massive cheating to try to win the 2026 midterm elections. He appeared at a press conference Monday saying up to 500,000 fraudulent ballots have been recently discovered, many of them targeted for the 2026 election in Maryland.

Republicans are demanding immediate investigations into election fraud. There are also rumblings that Trump might issue an executive order to heighten integrity of the election. One possibility: Balloting could be restricted to a one-day affair, with participants required to show valid IDs and to vote, using paper ballots. Here’s more from Stephen Gardner.

Thune: Stand Up Or Go Fizz!

Concerns are growing around the future of the SAVE America Act, a proposed bill aimed at strengthening election security by requiring proof of citizenship to vote.

According to U.S. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, a Florida Republican, Senate Majority Leader John Thune has no plans to bring the bill to the Senate floor once lawmakers return from break, citing a lack of sufficient support. Without the necessary 51 votes, Thune reportedly does not intend to allocate time for debate, effectively stalling the legislation.

When the U.S. Senate under control of Republicans cannot pass into law a bill supported by more than 80 percent of all Republicans, that’s as clear a sign as you need that the Senate leadership is either weak or, more likely, flat-out corrupt.

We must hold these bastards’ feet in the fire, and force them to boot out leaders who are as cold and callous as Thune. We don’t need them, and we most certainly don’t want them doing any more damage to our nation or to our voting system. Enough is enough! Here’s more from Stephen Gardner.

They Tried To Fool Trump

President Trump is waging war on the Deep State at home while staring down America’s enemies abroad at the very same time.

Tulsi Gabbard has become one of Trump’s quiet but most effective tools, ripping the mask off Brennan, Comey, Obama, and the intel cartel with targeted declassification instead of TV drama. As Director of National Intelligence, she has been declassifying Russiagate files, first‑impeachment evidence, and years of CIA/FBI abuse so the American people—not the permanent bureaucracy—can see what really happened.

Corporate media and the intel establishment are panicking, unleashing coordinated hit pieces from The Guardian, The New York Times, CNN, MSNBC and others to brand her “unstable” and “disloyal” because they fear what she’s exposing. Here’s more from Stephen Gardner.
