Mock-up design of East Plano Islamic Center

The Justice Department on Friday opened an investigation into the planned Sharia City near Dallas, Senator Cornyn said.

Last month Texas Governor Greg Abbott launched a campaign against a planned Islamic “mega-city” outside Dallas.

The East Plano Islamic Center, via its affiliate Community Capitol Partners, is seeking to construct a 1,000-home settlement around 40 minutes from Dallas.

The “Sharia City” would come complete with a mega mosque, Sharia adherent Muslim schools, community college, and sporting facilities.

And Sharia law is outlawed in Texas under a law I signed in 2017.

Texas is investigating EPIC City for many allegations, including attempts to circumvent that law.

KHOU reported:

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has opened an investigation into EPIC City, a Muslim-centric development proposed in Collin County, following calls from Sen. John Cornyn, among others, Cornyn announced Friday.

EPIC recently bought just over 400 acres of property north of Josephine near the intersections of County Roads 850 and 695 for the proposed development that includes more than 1,000 homes, a school, retail areas, parks and more centered around a mosque.

Conservative talk radio legend Mark Levin recently discussed the Islamic, Sharia Law compliant city being planned near Dallas and cited The Gateway Pundit’s report.

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka arrested for criminal trespass at ICE detention facility / screen image

No one is above the law.

The Mayor of Newark was arrested for criminal trespass on Friday after storming an ICE detention facility.

Mayor Ras Baraka joined members of Congress to inspect the Delaney Hall detention facility in New Jersey when all hell broke loose.

In February, ICE announced it was expanding detention capacity with the Delaney Hall facility.

“This detention center is the first to open under the new administration,” said acting ICE Director Caleb Vitello in February. “The location near an international airport streamlines logistics, and helps facilitate the timely processing of individuals in our custody as we pursue President Trump’s mandate to arrest, detain and remove illegal aliens from our communities.”

“The facility will expand ICE’s detention capacity in the Northeast, enhancing the agency’s ability to manage the region’s growing enforcement and removal operations,” ICE said.

Of course, this angered the Democrats because they want illegal alien killers roaming around communities.

An altercation broke out at Delaney Hall and Mayor Baraka was cuffed and led away by law enforcement.

According to News12NJ, Baraka was shouting at agents after he gained entry through the gate.

Interim US Attorney for the District of New Jersey Alina Habba said Mayor Baraka was taken into custody after he ignored multiple warnings from DHS agents.

“The Mayor of Newark, Ras Baraka, committed trespass and ignored multiple warnings from Homeland Security Investigations to remove himself from the ICE detention center in Newark, New Jersey this afternoon. He has willingly chosen to disregard the law. That will not stand in this state. He has been taken into custody. NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW,” Alina Habba said.

President Trump is scheduled to sign at least three executive actions this evening, including a proclamation to establish “Project Homecoming,” a program that incentivizes illegal aliens to self-deport.

This comes as the White House ramps up efforts to encourage self-deportation amid radical left judges blocking the Trump administration from executing mass deportations. Last month, the Department of Homeland Security and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt reminded illegal aliens that they must register with the federal government under the “long-ignored” Alien Registration Act and leave the country or be arrested, never to return.

Border Czar Tom Homan issued a stark warning last week to aliens who fail to register and leave the country. “If you’re an illegal alien in the United States, this message is for you,” he said. “You cannot hide from ICE. We’re actively looking for you.”

BOOM! “Get Your Affairs in Order” – Border Czar Tom Homan Closes Press Briefing with Stern Warning for Illegal Aliens to Self Deport: “You Cannot Hide from ICE. We’re Actively Looking for You” (VIDEO)

Project Homecoming will establish an “exit bonus” for “illegal aliens who agree to voluntarily and permanently depart the United States” and streamlines their departure with taxpayer-funded flights for illegal aliens, including those who lack valid travel documents.

It further increases efforts to advertise the program and communicate warnings, notifying aliens of the “consequences of remaining, including removal, prosecution, fines, wage garnishment, and property confiscation.” Those who do not leave voluntarily will face a “full-scale, aggressive deportation surge, including with an additional 10,000 officers.”

A White House official provided the following fact sheet to The Gateway Pundit:

The Ohio Republican Party has voted to endorse Vivek Ramaswamy for governor, following President Donald Trump’s endorsement.

At its central committee meeting, the party voted for Ramaswamy over state Attorney General Dave Yost and announced the results in an endorsement social media post on Friday.

“INTRODUCING: Ohio’s Endorsed Candidate for Governor,” the Ohio GOP wrote in the post, along with a photo of Ramaswamy.

INTRODUCING: Ohio’s Endorsed Candidate for Governor.@VivekGRamaswamy | @ohiogop pic.twitter.com/GcEdyCdhAK

— Ohio Republican Party (@ohiogop) May 9, 2025

President Trump endorsed Ramaswamy for governor in February.

In a post to Truth Social on February 24, Trump wrote:

VIVEK RAMASWAMY is running for Governor of the Great State of Ohio. I know him well, competed against him, and he is something SPECIAL. He’s Young, Strong, and Smart! Vivek is also a very good person, who truly loves our Country. He will be a GREAT Governor of Ohio, will never let you down, and has my COMPLETE AND TOTAL ENDORSEMENT!

Ramaswamy left his role as co-leader of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) shortly after Trump’s inauguration on January 20, 2025, reportedly to pursue his gubernatorial campaign. It came shortly after he made controversial comments on X about American culture and his support for H-1B visas for foreign tech workers, which sparked extreme backlash among Trump supporters.

He wrote, “The reality is we have a culture in this country that often celebrates mediocrity over excellence… We celebrate the prom queen and the quarterback and the class clown far more than we celebrate the kid who’s in the library or the garage obsessing over math, or science, or computer code.” He claimed this cultural tendency produced a “national shortage of talent” in fields like engineering and technology, and therefore argued H-1B visas are needed to bring in skilled foreign workers.

Air Traffic Control lost radar for 90 seconds at Newark Airport on Friday.

According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), there was a telecommunications outage at Newark Liberty International Airport.

“There was a telecommunications outage that impacted communications and radar display at Philadelphia TRACON Area C, which guides aircraft in and out of Newark Liberty International Airport airspace. The outage occurred around 3:55 a.m. on Friday, May 9, and lasted approximately 90 seconds,” the FAA said on Friday morning.

United Airlines pulled 35 round-trip flights a day following a radar outage at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey last week.

Last Monday air traffic controllers lost communication with planes flying in and out of Newark for about 90 seconds.

National Air Traffic Controllers Association told Bloomberg News that Newark “temporarily lost radar and communications with the aircraft under their control, unable to see, hear, or talk to them.”

“Air traffic controllers guiding planes bound for Newark Liberty International Airport lost radar and radio communication for more than a minute early last week before flights at the key hub were snarled for days, according to people familiar with the matter,” Bloomberg reported.

“The outage of those key systems occurred on April 28 and lasted nearly 90 seconds, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing the matter because it isn’t public. Following the incident, multiple employees were placed on trauma leave, the people said,” Bloomberg reported.

United grounded flights after an air traffic controller said Newark is “not safe.”

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy ripped Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg after an alarming radar outage at Newark Airport.

Biden’s DEI Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg did nothing to fix the antiquated air traffic control system even though he was given billions of dollars to handle the problem.

Buttigieg couldn’t even fix the potholes when he was a small town mayor of South Bend, Indiana, so it is no surprise that he did not thing to improve the air traffic control system.

Secretary Duffy blasted Buttigieg and Biden for doing nothing to fix the air traffic control equipment.

“What did they do? Nothing! Instead they spent their time focused on changing the name of ‘cockpit’ to ‘flight deck,’” Duffy said.

Buttigieg & Biden knew the air traffic control system was antiquated. They saw the government watchdog reports warning the system was aging.

Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki speaks on her new MSNBC show. (MSNBC / YouTube screen shot)

Joe Biden’s former press secretary turned MSNBC crank, Jen Psaki, got some unwelcome news about her new show.

This week, Psaki took over the prime 9 p.m. ET timeslot on the network on Tuesday through Friday from “The Rachel Maddow Show,” which was relegated to only airing on Mondays.

Psaki’s viewers, however, do not seem to be circling back.

According to Fox News, her new show “shed a staggering 53% of its demo viewers compared to the first episode only one day prior.”

Psaki’s program also lost “67% of viewers between the ages of 18-49 after only one episode.”

Per Fox News:

On Tuesday, Psaki’s “The Briefing” debuted with 1.2 million viewers and 139,000 in the advertiser-coveted demographic of adults aged 25-54, but her second episode on Wednesday plummeted to just over one million total viewers and only 65,000 in the demo.

MSNBC’s newest program shed a staggering 53% of its demo viewers compared to the first episode only one day prior. Psaki’s program also lost a whopping 67% of viewers between the ages of 18-49 after only one episode, as “The Briefing” averaged 113,000 on Tuesday and only 37,000 on Wednesday.

On Wednesday, Psaki’s “The Briefing” also had fewer viewers among adults aged 25-54 than various repeats of “Friends,” “Seinfeld,” “Everybody Loves Raymond,” “Bob’s Burgers,” “The King of Queens,” and “That 70s Show,” along with Nickelodeon’s “Paw Patrol,” Hallmark’s “Reba,” and TLC’s “My Strange Addiction,” and many other basic cable offerings.

Perhaps viewers are uninterested in her constant gaslighting about Joe Biden’s cognitive decline. The Gateway Pundit reported that in a recent interview with Ben Smith of Semafor, Psaki continued the Democrat talking point, claiming “she never saw evidence” of Biden’s decline until his awful debate performance in the spring of 2024.

Or maybe her bad takes on major issues?  Only hours after mocking President Trump on trade deals, he announced a major agreement with the UK.

This is hysterical. Jen Psaki led off last night’s show, mocking Trump:

“Mr. ‘Art of the Deal’ as he calls himself, has not yet struck a single trade deal. Not a single one with any single country!”

Trump announces trade deal with UK hours later.

In a bold move to restore global order and stability, President Donald Trump has signaled his readiness to enlist China as a peace broker in the Russo-Ukrainian war—an idea both strategic and rooted in realpolitik.

While the Biden regime has floundered and fueled foreign wars with blank checks and reckless escalation, Trump’s America First diplomacy aims at real results—without dragging the U.S. into yet another endless war.

“It’s a natural thing to ask,” Trump said when questioned about reaching out to China to help mediate between Russia and Ukraine. “I think so, yes.” Trump has proposed a 30-day ceasefire as a launching pad for peace talks, with a clear warning: violate the truce, and expect tough sanctions.

 

This move comes as Chinese President Xi Jinping made headlines during his visit to Moscow, where he held extensive closed-door discussions with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Their message? It’s time to eliminate the root causes of the war and move toward a “fair, lasting, and binding” peace—one that respects national sovereignty and rejects NATO expansion.

“The reasonable security concerns of all countries should be taken seriously,” Xi declared, “and the root causes of the crisis should be eliminated.” According to China’s Foreign Ministry, both leaders agreed the world is entering a “new period of turbulence,” and warned that no globalist agenda could derail the sovereignty of nations like Russia and China.

Putin, for his part, stated that he “highly appreciated” Xi’s position and confirmed Russia is, of course, still open to peace talks.

While the corporate media scoffs at China’s involvement, the reality is undeniable: Beijing’s global clout is rising. Xi’s meeting with Putin wasn’t just symbolic. The two signed nearly three dozen agreements expanding military and economic cooperation, an unmistakable rebuke of the unipolar world order of the past 30 years.

Meanwhile, Trump’s tariff war with China remains a pressure point. Despite recent economic tit-for-tats—including U.S. tariffs hitting 145% and China firing back with its own 125% levies—Trump remains optimistic. “We can work something out,” he said last week, leaving the door open for fair trade and mutual benefit, if Beijing deals in good faith.

This diplomatic dance comes as Xi and Putin marked the 80th anniversary of Nazi Germany’s defeat, joined by dozens of world leaders including ones from Europe like Serbia’s Aleksandar Vučić and Slovakia’s Robert Fico.

The big takeaway? While Brussels pushes forever-war dogma, Trump is quietly building the foundation for peace through strength, sovereignty, and strategic leverage. If Trump succeeds, it won’t just be a win for Ukraine and Russia. It’ll be a win for the world—and a devastating blow to the war profiteers and bureaucrats who never wanted peace to begin with.

After the mainland fell to Communist China in 1949, a debate broke out in the halls of the U.S. Government and broadly across American society.

Most Americans were still basking in the unconditional surrenders of Japan and Germany, the United States was seemingly an unchallenged Colossus on the world stage, and the relentless drive of Soviet Communism was not yet readily apparent.  Many Americans forget that Nationalist China, led by Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, was one of the “Big Five” Allied Powers alongside the U.S., the U.S.S.R., the United Kingdom, and France that defeated the Axis Powers.

When, on December 7, 1949, Chiang Kai-shek flew from his capital of Chengdu, deep inside China, to Taiwan, an Island that had never been part of mainland China, the United States was shocked.  Two million of his followers crossed the Taiwan Straits to flee China and occupy Taiwan.  An angry debate in America began, “Who lost China?”.

Many Americans had a very fond feeling for Chiang’s wife, Lady Chiang, and all of China ,and were rattled by the sudden, unexpected collapse of the Chinese Nationalists and the victory of the Communists.  Baptist Minister and missionary turned Office of Strategic Services Captain, John Birch was killed by Communists in China at a checkpoint in 1945.

Captain Birch’s murder was the inspiration for the founding of the “John Birch Society”, long scoffed at by Globalists and mainstream media for their mantra of “Get us out of the United Nations”.  The John Birch Society slogan was prescient considering what the UN has become, a largely, U.S. funded freakshow of Globalist dysfunction that ensures equal misery for all.  Birch was considered, “the first casualty in the Third World War between communists and the ever-shrinking Free World.”

Hopefully, history does not repeat itself in South Korea which has been undergoing a slow-motion, Chinese Communist coup in plain sight for almost eight years.  Of all the international partners of the United States, there is no closer, long-standing kinship, forged in blood, fire, and steel.  Most South Koreans look up to America as “Big Bro.”

An American delegation has been formed to travel to South Korea, at the invitation of a prominent South Korean Group, to act as “Election Observers”.  This group contains many well-known Americans that are willing to travel to Korea to be observers to help ensure the integrity of the elections in Korea.  There is great doubt and concern over a free and fair election on June 3.

Unfortunately, the corrupt Korean National Election Commission (NEC) told the Korean group inviting the American delegation that election observers would not be allowed or involved in the June 3 Special Election.  The implied message was that this would be considered foreign election interference and legal action would be taken – a classic Saul Alinsky projection tactic, considering the Chinese Communist Party is fully resourcing an election interference campaign to steal the June 3 Election.

Since this announcement there have been several large rallies at the U.S. Embassy in Seoul clamoring for international election observers.  The Carter Center for Democracy has a 2014 Manual that is considered the “Gold Standard” on free, fair, and transparent elections.  One immediate red flag of election fraud are prohibitions against election observers.  Apparently, this tenet only applies when the Carter Center is seeking victories for Globalist minded candidates.

Many Americans, even those with South Korean heritage and/or experience, are very muddled and confused about what is going on in South Korea.  Some who think they have knowledge are under the impression that the trouble in South Korea is being fomented by North Koreans.  This frame of reference is considerably out of date and in need of updating.

The South Korean Democrat Party (KDP) created a partnership with Communist China years ago to topple South Korean society, absorb North Korea, and become the chief Asian ally of Communist China.  The leader of the KDP is Lee Jae-myung.  Lee is a hardened, left-leaning politician who describes America as an occupying force and the Chinese and Russians as liberating forces.

This might seem like routine and meaningless hyperbole for an American leftist. In South Korea, use of such terms is incendiary and are fighting words.  These are matters the bought-off, corrupt, mainstream media in South Korea and America routinely fail to report.

Since 2017, the KDP has grown in strength and continued to win elections despite what the public sentiment appeared to be.  It started with the May 2017 elections in the wake of the impeachment and removal of a previous President, Park Geun-hye, of the Grand National Party, the pre-existing conservative Party.  There were valid issues about Park, but her circumstances were also leveraged to call for Presidential Elections, which the KDP won after the episode with Park.

The KDP has grown in strength in the National Assembly and a corrupt leftist, Moon Jae-in won the 2017 Presidential election and soon eliminated 100s of Military and Intelligence officials and dismantled the Intelligence Agency’s ability to defend against North Korea and China to consolidate his power and strengthen his ties with China.  The elections in 2017 and 2020 were replete with fraud issues.  The Korean Election Commission (KEC) and the Association of World Election Bureaus (A-Web) have the USAID Logo on their websites which now explains much of what the KEC and A-Web were really up to and who has been paying them.

The situation is ominous in South Korea.  There has now been a call up of 160,000 special police on June 3 to maintain national order – which is starting to look like the official closing of the Iron Curtain around South Korea, while America slept.  Many Koreans are fearful of being arrested by Lee after the June 3 Election – they have no island to go to, only to America.

Hopefully we will not be debating, “Who lost South Korea?” on June 4th.

Former Trump administration official and rising conservative voice Camryn Kinsey has broken her silence after suffering a terrifying collapse live on air last night.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Kinsey suddenly fainted live on-air while being interviewed on Fox News @ Night with Trace Gallagher by substitute host Jonathan Hunt.

Kinsey, a former White House correspondent for One America News Network and founder of Titan Media Strategies, was offering sharp insights into the stark ideological divide between President Trump and Joe Biden when she began to visibly struggle with her words.

“Ideology is where… It’s not about uh—” Kinsey attempted to say, before her eyes rolled back and she slumped sideways, crashing to the ground on live television.

Hunt was visibly shaken by the disturbing sight and nearly rose from his chair before a crew member rushed in to assist.

Hunt then turned to the camera and calmly informed viewers, “We’re just gonna get some help for Camryn,” before quickly shifting focus to another panelist.

A short time ago, Kinsey wrote about her harrowing experience on X. She started by apologizing for the scene and thanking the Fox News team and EMTs for coming to her aid.

“Wow, sorry for the scare last night,” Kinsey wrote. ” I want to start by thanking the incredible Fox News team and the EMTs who responded with such speed and care. It was an unexpected and frightening moment, but thanks to their professionalism and kindness, I’m doing well.”

Kinsey thanked her fans for their prayers and support while revealing she was doing okay. Kinsey added that she is letting her body rest and staying hydrated.

“To everyone who has called, texted, prayed, or checked in, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your support has meant the world,” she added. “I’m taking it slow, staying hydrated, letting my body rest, and thanking the Lord that everything is okay.”

She closed by noting she will be back on television soon.

“It may not have been how I planned to end the segment, but I’ll be back on your TV soon. Hopefully long enough to finally finish my point about Kamala!”

Wow, sorry for the scare last night.

I want to start by thanking the incredible Fox News team and the EMTs who responded with such speed and care. It was an unexpected and frightening moment, but thanks to their professionalism and kindness, I’m doing well.

To everyone who has…
