ON UCHICAGO CAMPUS: U.S. Senator from Michigan Elissa Slotkin hopes planned political prosecutions of republican leaders will scare young conservatives from getting involved in politics.

A warning!-----Money-Laundering, Export Controls, and the Million Dollar Penalties
In most cases, these really aren’t issues in which banks knowingly committed crimes... - John F. Di Leo
- ...they are incidents in which their customers committed crimes, and
- the banks didn’t have sophisticated enough programs in place to catch and report them, as they are required to.
Big banks are presumed to have the resources to afford employee training, computer programs, and screening services, all kinds of tools to identify and prevent the multitude of criminal opportunities that arise every day.
But businesses – the manufacturers and distributors, wholesalers and retailers who make up the banks’ clientele – are expected to have such controls in place as well.
But businesses – the manufacturers and distributors, wholesalers and retailers who make up the banks’ clientele – are expected to have such controls in place as well.
And many simply don’t.
- And in many ways, the typical small-to-midsized American business is much more likely to make these kinds of mistakes than these banks are...
October 7 and the Transition from Wokeism to Savage Culture
From character assassination to actual assassination - Ted Balaker
But Political Correctness didn’t go extinct.
It merely went underground and reemerged as an even worse cultural force — wokeism.
Now we’ve “vibe shifted” past wokesim.
- But again, wokeness hasn’t gone extinct.
- It’s merely morphed into something worse — Savage Culture.
We can note that the transition took place on October 7, 2023.
- Sigmund Freud once mused that civilization began when people stopped throwing spears and started throwing words.
- Today we might be experiencing the reverse, a slide from civilization toward savagery.
Recall that the day after Hamas slaughtered 1,200 Israelis, the Democratic Socialists of America hosted an anti-Israel protest in Times Square...

More noncitizens found on Michigan voter rolls ahead of high-stakes election * WorldNetDaily * by Fred Lucas, The Daily Signal:
One of Michigan's largest counties found additional noncitizens on its voter rolls with just weeks to go in one of the most competitive Senate races in the country.
For the third quarter of 2026, Macomb County had 236 self-reported noncitizens who were summoned for jury duty. Of those who self-reported, nine were registered to vote and one had a voting history, according to new numbers the Macomb County clerk's office first shared with the Daily Signal.

Trump's FTC gets a big win, but the job is far from over | Blaze Media
Trump's FTC gets a big win, but the job is far from over | Blaze Media:
This was, to be clear, a rather easy antitrust case. The Zillow-Redfin deal was a blatant violation of the core principles of antitrust. The companies literally signed an agreement not to compete, with a nine-figure bribe thrown in.
The FTC was also not alone in its demands against Zillow and Redfin. Virginia, Connecticut, New York, Washington, and Arizona all joined in. After securing the required changes, FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson hailed the result as a critical part of the Trump administration's housing agenda.

The Democratic Socialists of America Platform
The DSA would abolish the police, open borders, socialize medicine, abolish the Department of War, and abolish the Senate. - Steven Because of the Democratic Socialists of America's rise to power, I wanted to know more about what they stood for. I googled their Platform, which is titled "Workers Deserve More,"...
- [1.] Demilitarize police departments …
- [2.] End ICE detentions and deportations ….
- [3.] Defund the Department of War. End all foreign wars and close overseas military bases….
- [4.] Recognize the rights of the Palestinian people, including the right of return, the right to resist military occupation, and the right to self determination in a free Palestine with Jerusalem as its capital...
- [5.] Replace the two-party system with a multi-party democracy. Expand the House of Representatives, implement proportional representation and ranked choice voting in elections, and abolish the Senate...

Overdose Deaths Declining: HHS Continuing the Momentum | RealClearHealth
Overdose fatalities fell 26.2% from 2023 to 2024... - Gary Andres & Alyssa ...and the latest provisional data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) predicts 67,798 drug overdose deaths over the last 12 months ending in March 2026 which is a 12.3% decline from the same period a year earlier.
- Those numbers do not mean the crisis is over...
- But the direction has changed, and that progress warrants attention.
The Trump Administration’s approach is centered on three connected priorities:
- preventing fatal overdoses,
- addressing the evolving threats that drive them, and
- ensuring that people with substance-use disorders can access evidence-based treatment and long-term recovery support...
Watch: Even CNN Is Now Calling Out Ilhan Omar, Blowing Holes in Her Claim Investigation Is Politically Motivated
Watch: Even CNN Is Now Calling Out Ilhan Omar, Blowing Holes in Her Claim Investigation Is Politically Motivated:
The legal reality is that for all of Omar’s whining about Trump, she was under suspicion even in the Biden Justice Department.
Under the circumstances, the fact that any investigation was fruitless is likely due more to then-Attorney General Merrick Garland’s minions having no stomach to take on a fellow left-wing Democrat than to any supposed innocence on Omar’s part.
Victor Davis Hanson: The Problem With America’s Military Arsenal
So in a cost-benefit analysis, we’re spending 10, 20, 30 times more to knock them down. - Victor Davis HansonPart of the problem is that in Ukraine, in Iran, in the Middle East, we have now, because of the use, cut our inventories of Patriot missiles by about 25% or 30%.
And remember, we export them all over the Western world, and our Hellfire and Tomahawk missile inventories are cut by 50%...
- But the Patriot missile costs about $4 million...
- The Hellfire is shot by a plane, about $150,000, $200,000.
- The Tomahawk is about $3 million to $4 million.
So what I’m getting at is our enemies, whether in Iran or the enemies that are trying to squeeze Israel or the Russians that we supply Ukraine to fight, they are using cheaper drones, and some of them are only $5,000 or $6,000...

New documents question key claims from Trump's 2019 impeachment * WorldNetDaily * by Fred Lucas, The Daily Signal
New documents question key claims from Trump's 2019 impeachment * WorldNetDaily * by Fred Lucas, The Daily Signal:
George Kent, then-deputy chief of mission at the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine, wrote in a November 2016 email that, "someone in Washington needed to engage VP Biden quietly and say that his son Hunter's presence on the Burisma board undercut the anti- corruption message the VP and we were advancing in Ukraine, b/c Ukrainians heard cne message from us and then saw another set of behavior, with the family association with a known corrupt figure whose company was known for not playing by the rules in the oilfgas sector."
The recipient of the email was redacted.
Worth your time!-----The Rise of Democratic Socialism | Imprimis
Socialism has come in many forms through history and has seemingly infinite definitions.
- But simply put, it’s a system based on collective or government ownership of goods and services, as opposed to private ownership or markets...
Its other defining feature?
- It always fails, usually horrifically.
- Historians generally agree there have been more than two dozen major national attempts at socialism, all of which ended in tyranny and economic collapse.
This dismal history has inspired advocates over the ages to produce new “versions” of socialism, ones they insist will finally produce magic...
- The modern twist is democratic socialism. Its proponents chose that descriptor with care...
Their goal with that adjective is to fool us into believing that this version of socialism really is different, that it is no threat, that it can in fact be achieved through democratic means...
