No More Medicaid for Terrorist Watchlist Immigrants


According to the Trump administration, hundreds of immigrants with criminal or
terrorist records received taxpayer-funded benefits like Medicaid, unemployment
insurance, and federal student loans under Joe Biden. That is about to change.

Washington’s new leadership has begun sending termination notices to the
droves of foreigners who entered the U.S. through Biden’s parole program, which
reportedly included over 6,000 individuals with a history of crime or their
names on the FBI’s Terrorist Screening Center watchlist. It qualified them to
receive those aforementioned perks.

“Among the 6.3k paroled aliens with criminal or terrorist records, 905 were
collecting Medicaid (including 4 on the terrorist watch list). $276,000 was
paid out,” a White House official reportedly disclosed. “41 were collecting
Unemployment Insurance, receiving $42,000 in benefits. 22 received federal
student loans totaling $280,000.”Read more.

Democrats Keep Fighting for Illegal Immigrant Voting Rights


The Democrat Party continued fighting to protect its ability to cheat in
elections on Thursday as hundreds of its politicians voted against legislation
to crack down on noncitizen voting.

The bill, the SAVE Act, would require proof of citizenship for voter
registrations. The House passed it despite the Left’s undemocratic opposition.
It now heads to the Senate, where it will need 60 votes for advancement.

Liberal Senator Alex Padilla sang his party’s favorite propaganda tune after
the House’s vote, painting efforts to protect election integrity as “voter
suppression.”

“What Republicans are doing is once again demonizing immigrants for the sake
of making it harder for eligible citizens to register to vote and to cast their
ballots in elections,” the lawmaker said with a straight face. “It’s voter
suppression in disguise, not so much of a disguise.”

Why would Democrats oppose a bill like the SAVE Act unless they wanted
illegal immigrants to vote?Read more.

RFK Jr. Vows to Crack the Autism Code by September


“Autism has become an epidemic.”

That’s a direct quote from Donald Trump during a 2015 Republican primary
debate <[link removed]>. It was spot on
then, and it’s more true today. According to the CDC,one in 36 American
children are on the autism spectrum. That’s a big increase from 2021, when it
was one in 41, and a massive jump from 2006 when cases existed in less than 1%
of the country’s youth.

How is this happening? The establishment will label you a conspiracy theorist
if you guess it might have something to do with vaccines, but the crisis’
startling figures should encourage inquisition, not shut it down like they
want. The public deserves to know what on earth is going on.

RFK Jr. is hunting for the truth. He announced during Thursday’s cabinet
meeting that his HHS department is on track to “know what has caused the autism
epidemic” by September, which he said will enable it to “eliminate those
exposures” and finally get the crisis under control.

“There will be no bigger news conference than that … If you can come up with
that answer,” the president replied. That’s for sure.Read more.

Your Tax Dollars Are Still Funding “Transgender Voice Training”


When you think of how you want the government to spend your money, what comes
to mind?

Infrastructure, education, and law enforcement are probably somewhere near
the top of the list, surrounded by plenty of other righteous and legitimate
programs your conscience feels completely clear about funding.

We don’t condone reckless gambling, but we’d bet a lot of money that the
apparent pressing need to subsidizetransgender voice training is not on your
radar. But congratulations. That’s what you’re doing.

Despite the Trump administration’s efforts to clean up government waste, a
taxpayer-funded research project aimed at conqueringtransgender voice dysphoria
is alive and well. The government is slated to dump over $210,000 into the
initiative in fiscal year 2025. We hope you can rest easy knowing you’re
supporting such a vitally important cause.Read more.

Jasmine Crockett Is Under Investigation


One of our favorite entertainment sources, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett,
made headlines last month by labeling Greg Abbott as “Governor Hot Wheels.”
Could he soon be able to hit back by calling her “Representative Orange Jump
Suit”?

The Federal Election Commission is actively investigating Crockett regarding
potentially fraudulent donations to her 2024 congressional campaign. The
campaign received $870,000 in contributions, an untold number of which
reportedly came from unsuspecting people who did not deliberately provide any
funds.

One specific donor, a 73-year-old Texas man, is said to have made $16,000
worth of donations despite his wife having no knowledge of the gifts. Crockett
could face an imminent deadline to respond to the allegations.Read more.

Sorry, China. Australia Will Not Help You Fight Trump’s Tariffs.


Australia rejected China’s plea to help combat Donald Trump’s tariffs on
Wednesday, pledging not “to make common cause” with the far-Eastern communists.

"We’re not about to make common cause with China," Deputy Prime Minister
Richard Marles said during aSky News interview. "We are not going to be holding
hands with China in respect of any contest that is going on in the world."

While siding with the United States, or at least not explicitly standing with
China, may seem like an obvious choice, the Aussies have ample reason to stay
on Beijing’s good side. The Chinese buy nearly a third of Australia’s total
exports, giving the CCP the ability to cripple the island nation’s economy if
it so chooses. The U.S. makes up less than 10%.Read more.

Trump Ends the War on Water Pressure


Aspiring home buyers tend to look for a few key things when touring available
properties.Closet space. Outdoor seating. Natural light. And if they’re smart,
showerhead water pressure.

Think about how important that is. No one wants to get home after a long day
at work, hop in the shower to quickly clean off, then face the disaster of
their showerdrip, drip, dripping down on them with the force of a flaccid
fountain, not the soothing firehose they want and deserve. There’s nothing
worse.

Thanks to Obama-Biden water pressure regulations, untold numbers of Americans
have faced that hallowing reality over the past decade. But no more. Donald
Trump took a major step toward ending the Democrats’ war on showers on
Wednesday, signing an executive order to eliminate those freedom-crushing
rules. Get ready for some good flow.Read more.

WELCOME TO NEW YORK: NYC Subway Rider Does the Unthinkable to a Corpse


New York police are searching for a man caught on camera performing sex acts
on a corpse while riding the city subway.

The investigation reportedly began on Wednesday when authorities found the
dead body, a man, situated on a train at Manhattan’s Whitehall Station. They
discovered footage of the heinous acts upon reviewing MTA subway cameras.

Sources say the suspect, who remains at large, performed or tried to perform
various sex acts on the body. He waited for moments when the train car was
empty to pursue his attack.

It’s hard to think of a scenario that would elicit less confidence in New
York’s public transportation system. The thought of encountering a dead body
when you’re trying to take your kids to a Yankees game is scary enough, let
alone knowing you could be sharing a car with someone who wants to get it on
with it. It’s horrifying, really.

Commentary


The U.S. Is Terribly Reliant on China. Tariffs Could Help.


It’s impossible to be certain if Donald Trump’s tariff plan will prove
successful. We can’t pretend to know what the future holds.

What we are sure of, however, is that the motives behind the policy are sound.
If implemented properly, these import taxes could help the United States in
three core ways.

First and most obviously, the tariff can drive job creation. Manufacturing
companies spent decades tragically fleeing America’s shores, and in a way, it’s
hard to blame them. A business's primary responsibility is to turn as high a
profit as possible. Thanks to D.C. globalists, the formula for doing so has
almost always included the offshoring of blue-collar workers. Tariffs can help
change that by giving companies a financial incentive to make their products
here.

Second, it can help stop the “international community’s” storied practice of
ripping off the United States. As the White House has repeatedly pointed out,
America’s leaders have allowed our country to maintain unhealthy trade
relationships with much of the rest of the world. Simply put, the U.S. has had
to pay more to trade with its partners than they have to trade with us. That’s
unjustifiable, and the use of tariffs as a bargaining chip can help the
president secure better deals.

Lastly, it could reduce America’s crippling dependence on China. The media
has discussed this point the least of the three, but it’s probably the most
important.

Despite all the neocon lust for a war with Iran, a potential struggle with
the Chinese remains a far more pressing threat. It’s no secret that Beijing
wants to replace the U.S. as the world’s most dominant power, andThursday’s
Senate testimony
<[link removed]>
that its military is ramping up “rehearsals” for a Taiwan offensive reminds us
that an armed conflict could be its vessel for doing so. Whether we like it or
not, such an act would doubtlessly spark calls from both sides of Washington’s
political aisle to declare war on China. Everyone would be in complete lockstep.

How would things unfold next? America’s massive population deficit would
immediately hamstring its efforts, and the fact that China currently outpaces
the U.S. in the production of jets, ships, and weapons wouldn’t help either.
But those are battlefield issues. Our economic dependence could be the straw
that breaks the camel’s back.

To pick one example of many, China supplies roughly 75% of American cell
phone imports. It is also responsible for a substantial chunk of the minerals
essential for U.S. technology and defense, providing 75% of our graphite
imports, 51% of magnesium, and 62% of rare earth minerals,according to Barron’s
<[link removed]>
.

The harsh reality is that the U.S. needs China far more than China needs the
U.S. Our trade deficit nearing $300 billion makes that clear, and it gives the
Chinese the ability to cripple our economy with the snap of a finger. Imagine
what Xi Jinping could do to America if he wanted. Our profound dependence could
enable him to bring the country’s leadership to its knees.

That fact pattern, paired with the very real threat of an eventual war with
the Chinese, is an obvious formula for disaster. Too much dependence on anybody
is unhealthy, let alone your most powerful adversary. Donald Trump’s tariff
battle putting the cards back in America’s hands would be as large of an
economic and national security victory as any. It could prove to be the most
significant consequence of his entire presidency.

This Day in History


April 11, 1912: The Titanic sets sail for New York. The “unsinkable ship”
began its maiden voyage in Southampton, England, the day before, then proceeded
to Cherbourg, France, and Queenstown, Ireland, to pick up more passengers. New
York was supposed to be its next stop. Barely over 30% of the souls on board
made it to America.
