Iran Abandons Houthis After U.S. Attacks


The Trump administration’s Houthi airstrikes seem to have worked, at least in
the short term.

Iran ordered its military personnel to leave Yemen on Thursday, abandoning
its rebel allies after they fell victim to last month’s U.S. attacks. A senior
Islamic Republic official reportedly said that America’s assaults directly
caused the move, adding that Tehran’s primary concern is “Trump and how to deal
with him.”

“Every meeting is dominated by discussions about him, and none of the
regional groups we previously supported are being discussed,” the source said.
That is sure to be music to the president’s ears.

Don’t expect neocon calls for a hot war with the Ayetollah-run nation to
simmer now that the U.S. appears to have won the Yemeni freedom of navigation
dispute. It won’t be long until they or the foreign government they serve come
up with a new reason for why “liberating Iran” is America’s patriotic duty.
It’s only a matter of time.Read more.

Government Warns Diplomats in China: Do Not Have Sex with the Locals


The nineties movie Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me tells the story of an
international spy who is seduced by one of his enemy’s agents and tricked into
giving her intelligence while thinking he was in a romantic relationship. He
lowered his defenses because she had the goods. It’s a tale as old as time.

Washington wants to avoid its diplomats winding up in similar situations,
specifically those in China. It’s easy to imagine what could happen.

An attractive Chinese female takes an interest in a lonely Beijing-residing
U.S. official. They become acquainted. Next thing the American knows, he is
inadvertently spilling sensitive information to the woman, who secretly works
for the CCP, or putting himself in a position to be blackmailed.

Not good.

AP News on Thursday revealed a new Trump administration effort to prevent that
from transpiring, reporting the implementation of a ban on all government
personnel in China having romantic or sexual relationships with the country’s
citizens. They’ll have to keep their guards, and their pants, up.Read more.

BIDEN 2.0: Australian Prime Minister Falls on Stage


Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese channeled his inner Joe Biden on
Thursday, taking an on-stage tumble after giving a speech to a group of miners
at a campaign event.

Footage of the plunge shows the 62-year-old politician abruptly stumbling and
hitting the deck as his crowd gasps in shock. With the aid of those around him,
Albanese then quickly recovers and bounces back up to the applause of attendees.

“I stepped back one step. I didn’t fall off the stage … just one leg went
down, but I was sweet,” he reportedly said when addressing the incident.Smooth
as silk.

If watching the video makes you wonder if Albanese may be a bit old to be his
country’s most powerful man, pause and ponder this: Democrats tried to elect
someonemore than two decades his senior to a second White House term. It’s hard
to overstate how insane that whole episode really was.

Here’s Why Trump Left Russia off His Tariff List


Observers were puzzled on Wednesday when Donald Trump omitted Russia from his
“Liberation Day” tariff list.

Why would the president do that? Is it because he’s a Russian asset? A Putin
puppet? An agent of the Kremlin? Could this be the big break the Left needs to
finally expose his long-suspected “Russia ties”? No. Quite the opposite.

The White House disclosed yesterday that the administration excluded the
warring country because it already imposes sanctions that prevent “any
meaningful trade” with Moscow. The same goes for Cuba, Belarus, and North Korea.

Trump is prepared to try to inflict further economic pain on Russia, recently
threatening to block any country that buys its oil from tapping into America’s
trade market. That would be aggressive.Read more.

Trump Supports Remote Voting for New Mother Congresswomen


Congressional Republicans have spent the past few days engulfed in a debate
over remote voting for lawmakers with new infants. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna is
the most vocal proponent of a measure permitting the practice, while Speaker
Mike Johnson stands opposed.

Donald Trump picked his side on Thursday, backing Luna and rebuffing Johnson’s
claim that proxy voting is unconstitutional.

“If you’re having a baby, I think you should be able to call in and vote. I’m
in favor of that,” the president said during a media scrum on Air Force One. "I
don't know why it's controversial."

Johnson tweeted on Thursday that Luna’s proposal could endanger the GOP’s
entire agenda, but has since deleted that post. When Trump says jump, he asks
how high.Read more.

New Biblical Proof Emerges


Archaeologists excavating the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the ancient
Jerusalem site built where the Romans crucified and buried Jesus, recently
found evidence of ancient olive trees and grapevines consistent with biblical
scripture. The specimens date back roughly 2,000 years.

The discovery echoes the New Testament verse John 19:41, "Now in the place
where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in
which no one had yet been laid."

The excavation is the first major restoration project at the Church of the
Holy Sepulchre in nearly two centuries, and archaeologists say "many surprises"
from the site are in the works. Given the building’s storied history – founded
in 326 A.D., destroyed by Islamic ruler al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah nearly 700 years
later, then rebuilt by Christian Crusaders roughly a century after that – it is
sure to reveal many secrets from the Holy Land’s past.Read more.

Study Shows Ozempic Causes Hair Loss


A recent University of British Columbia study linked popular weight loss
medications like Ozempic and Wegovy to an increased risk of hair loss.

The researchers analyzed data from 16 million patients and found that users
of drugs that include semaglutide, like the two mentioned above, were 50% more
likely to experience hair loss compared to the other group. The outcome was
more common among women, who showed twice the risk of men.

Hair loss is hardly Ozempic’s only negative side effect. Others reportedly
include gastrointestinal issues, kidney problems, thyroid tumors, increased
heart rate, dehydration, and the dreaded ghost face. We are not doctors, but we
highly recommend losing weight through a healthy diet, sleep, and exercise
routines before resorting to drugs like Ozempic.Casey and Calley Means agree

Trans Shooter Thought Killing Kids Was Better Than Seeming Racist


According to Nashville police, the shooter who murdered six innocents at The
Covenant Christian School in 2023 chose her victims in part because “she
worried she might be branded as a racist” for sticking to the plan’s original
target, a school with a predominantly black student body.

The trans-identifying killer, 28-year-old Audrey Hale, allegedly first
planned to attack Creswell Middle School, which she attended as a child, and
had begun plotting out the assault with “excruciating detail.” Her thinking
began to change, however, when she realized she may be labeled a racist, which
would “remove her ability to give the motive and reasoning for the attack and
[instead] allow others to choose it for her once she was dead.”

Is this, the creation of individual moral compasses as backward as a skater’s
hat, what happens when people decide they’re God? Hale longed for a legacy as a
child murderer, but one as a racist? That was a bridge too far.

One of Hale’s victims wound up being black anyway, which is entirely
irrelevant. Her attack remains the deadliest school shooting in Tennessee
history.Read more.

Tourist Arrested for Giving Indigenous Indian Tribe a Coke


Indian law enforcement announced the arrest of American tourist Mykhailo
Polyakovon on Wednesday after the traveler allegedly left a can of Coca-Cola on
an island inhabited by an indigenous tribe.

The arrest occurred in India’s Andaman and Nicobar Islands, an archipelago
nearly 600 miles from mainland Asia. The Indian government strictly monitors
the region because its native tribes remain hostile and untouched. The
country’s 1946 Foreigners Act prohibits unauthorized entrance of the tribal
reserves. It makes sense why.

In 2018, the Sentinelese tribe killed American missionary John Allen Chau
when he tried to enter their world to preach Christianity. They allegedly shot
him with arrows as his boat approached their shore. They also murdered two
Indian fishermen who accidentally drifted to the North Sentinel Island in 2006.
The tribesmen launched their arrows at a military helicopter when it arrived to
investigate.

It is unclear why Polyakovon felt the need to give those isolated people a
Coke, but it’s fair to wonder if drinking the can would kill them. They’re not
used to the Western diet and are better off for it. Would the chemical-laced
drink give their bodies conniptions?Read more.

Married DEI Specialist Lived a Double Life, Covertly Posting Gay Porn on His
Secret X Account


Lt. Col. Adam Harmon, a married man and “equal opportunity adviser and
diversity, equity, and inclusion professional” in the military, has been a
naughty boy.

A New York Post investigation revealed on Thursday that Harmon is the owner
of the now-deleted @franzkafka2007 X account, which was home to unfiltered
photos and videos of his genitals, bare backside, apparent sex toys, and more.

“A few guys have been very into f**king me in uniform lately so why not,”
Harmon captioned a 2023 image of his rear hanging out of his Army uniform. He
also shared a shot of himself bending over on a hotel bed with his shorts
pulled below his rump. When America’s leaders say they want our enemies to fear
our armed forces, this is not what they have in mind.

In 2011, the Huffington Post featured Harmon and his lover in a glowing piece
<[link removed]> about their
post-Don’t Ask Don’t Tell marriage. Because of course they did.Read more.

Masturbating North Dakota Mayor Resigns After Sending Colleague “Sexy” X-Rated
Video


Tom Ross, the mayor of Minot, North Dakota, reportedly resigned on Wednesday
after texting a female city attorney a video of himself masturbating during his
lunch break.

Ross has apologized for the mistake and insisted he meant to send the
footage, which he labeled “sexy,” to his girlfriend. He explained that his
lover’s name begins with the letter “C,” which is why he accidentally sent it
to a contact labeled “City Attorney.” It must have been the first number that
popped up when he typed “C.”

Stefanie Stalheim, the woman who actually received the pornography, said she
had spoken to the mayor about a police officer’s suicide just minutes before
the video of him wanking it popped up on her phone. Imagine what must have gone
through her head.Read more.

Commentary


Does the Left Support Worker Exploitation?


It’s no secret that the stock market has reacted poorly to the Trump
administration’s “Liberation Day” tariffs. It makes sense why. Investors hate
uncertainty, and America ushering in an entirely new economic vision,
regardless of what that vision is, was always going to cause a shock.

One of the conglomerates experiencing a nosedive is Nike. According to
Schaeffer’s Investment Research
<[link removed]>
, the company’s stock sank to a six-year low after the tariff announcement and
now carries a 23.5% year-to-date deficit.

The reason for this is straightforward. Nike uses cheap foreign labor to
create its products, exploiting international markets to get away with paying
its workforce a fraction of what American laborers would require. This is no
secret. Nike reportedly employs 108,000 Chinese workers, paying them an average
annual salary of $10,000. Its American employees, by contrast, tend to make
nearly seven times that sum.

This makes Washington's new effort to incentivize companies to manufacture
their products in the U.S. a bad situation for Nike. And they’re not the only
ones.Reuters
<[link removed]>
reported on Thursday that “Shares in Nike, Adidas, and Puma dropped sharply
after Vietnam was targeted with a 46% tariff rate, Cambodia with 49%,
Bangladesh with 37% and Indonesia with 32%, while Trump hiked tariffs on China
by an extra 34 percentage points, following the earlier 20% tariffs.”

Take a step back and ask yourself what this really means. A $10,000 salary is
not a livable wage. It equates to less than $5 an hour, and that’s if the
worker doesn’t take a single minute off all year. No vacations. No sick days.
Nothing. Just a life of thanklessly slaving away in his employer’s overheated
mines.

Among other things, the White House’s pursuit of “fair trade” aims to end
that inhumanity. The U.S. should not reward companies for treating human beings
like soulless cogs, easily replaceable and whose hours are worth nothing more
than five measly dollars.

Is that what American neoliberals want? Whether they realize it or not,
Democrats complaining about the Trump tariffs are by definition advocating for
the West’s continued exploitation of effective slave labor. They may attend
pride parades and post social justice graphics on social media, but they
quickly jump ship as soon as a policy that will drive real change threatens
their precious wallets.

Emphasizing this could be a good way for Republicans to regain the high
ground in our country’s economic debate. Will the tariffs create jobs? They
should. Do they put America first? Without a doubt.But they’re also moral.
America is no longer interested in subsidizing the treatment of workers as
worthless servants. Companies that refuse to oblige? Fine. Enjoy your big,
beautiful tariff.

This Day in History


April 4, 1968: The assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. The famed civil
rights leader was standing on a balcony outside his Tennessee motel room when a
single bullet struck his right cheek, breaking his jaw before lodging into his
shoulder. He died just over an hour later.


Many of King’s supporters, including members of his family, have expressed
belief that the murder was the result of a conspiracy involving the U.S.
government, the mafia, and Memphis police. They say convicted assassin James
Earl Ray was merely a scapegoat. Donald Trump ordered the declassification of
all files related to the killing in January.
