Month: March 2026

Republican Senator Eric Schmitt of Missouri appeared on the Sean Hannity show tonight and made a great point about what the Democrats are trying to do with ICE. It’s Defund the Police all over again.

He is not even talking about the funding, really. He is talking about the fact that Democrats want ICE agents harassed to the point where no one wants to be an ICE agent anymore, just like what happened with the police a few years back.

To his credit, Schmitt flatly says we are not doing this again.

Transcript via Overton News:

SCHMITT: “The only reason Democrats want to unmask ICE agents is they want facial recognition software to identify these ICE agents and harass their families, so nobody want to be an ICE agent again.”

“We lived through this with the defund the police movement, where you saw a drop in people who wanted to be police officers.”

“We’re not doing that again.”

“We’re also not going to make it harder for them to do their job, with all the hurdles the Democrats want them to jump through.”

“If you understand this fact, you realize that the central operating idea between the Democrat Party now is that they believe in open borders and they don’t believe that anybody that came here illegally should have to go home.”

“And we cannot give in on that fact.”

Then he doubled down: Republicans aren’t passing any DHS deal that weakens ICE.

Schmitt is spot on about the Democrats. They want ICE agents unmasked so that their shock street troops of activists can go after them.

He is also correct when he says that Democrats are for illegal immigration and open borders now. They prove repeatedly that they learned absolutely nothing from the 2024 election. If anything, they have doubled down on their radical agenda.

“Reacher” actor Alan Ritchson, the same actor who loves lecturing Americans about how Donald Trump is a “rapist and a con man” and how Christians who support the former president are “vitriolic,” was caught on video brutally beating his Tennessee neighbor in front of his own children.

The shocking altercation unfolded Sunday in the upscale Brentwood suburb of Nashville, where Ritchson, 42, was reportedly tearing through the neighborhood on his Kawasaki motorcycle with his two young sons riding alongside him.

According to multiple reports and raw video obtained by TMZ, neighbor Ronnie Taylor had the audacity to confront the woke celebrity ‘over speeding, engine-revving, and disturbing the peace.’

Video shows Ritchson dismounting his bike and immediately unleashing a barrage of punches on Taylor, knocking him to the ground while the actor’s kids sat on their own motorbikes just feet away.

TMZ reported:

The alleged victim, Ronnie Taylor, tells TMZ … this all started Saturday when Alan was riding his green Kawasaki bike through the quiet, well-to-do Nashville suburb. Ronnie claims Alan was flying at excessive speed, revving his engine and disturbing the peace.

He admits flipping the bird at Alan, and he claims the actor returned the gesture.

Fast-forward to Sunday at around noon … Taylor says Alan came through the neighborhood again, allegedly speeding, and this time with the two youngsters on their own motorbikes.Taylor says he asked Alan, “Can you f***ing stop this please,” which is when things allegedly turned physical.Taylor says he went to the cops and reported that Alan punched him in the face and kicked him. Taylor claims Alan then fell off his bike, got back up, and tried to run him off.Taylor also told cops that a tussle ensued, during which Alan allegedly hit Taylor in the back of the head.

Taylor accuses Alan of hitting him “at least four times” while he was on the ground, which has allegedly left him with bruises and swelling.

Authorities have confirmed that conflicting accounts have emerged about who actually started the fight.

On Tuesday, police ultimately concluded that Ritchson acted in self-defense during the altercation with his neighbor.

As a result, the investigation has been officially closed, and no charges will be filed, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The Democrat-induced nightmare at American airports could be hitting home for members of Congress.

Delta Air Lines, headquartered in Atlanta, is suspending a specialty service desk for federal lawmakers — until the Transportation Security Administration is fully funded.

The airline, Atlanta Journal-Constitution columnist Patricia Murphy wrote, is apparently “just as fed up as the rest of us.”

NEWS that Congressional staff are not going to like- Delta is suspending its special congressional desk service for members of Congress until the shutdown is over. @ajc https://t.co/q2w4VIkK7p pic.twitter.com/sXnnZFOz4G

“Due to the impact on resources from the longstanding government shutdown, Delta will temporarily suspend specialty services to members of Congress flying Delta,” Delta said in a statement Murphy quoted.

“Next to safety, Delta’s No. 1 priority is taking care of our people and customers, which has become increasingly difficult in the current environment.”

American air travelers have been under increasing strain since congressional Democrats refused to fund the Department of Homeland Security — which includes the TSA.

TSA agents missed their first full paycheck March 13, according to The Hill.

They won’t be receiving another until the impasse is resolved, which has led to agents quitting or calling out of work — which has in turn led to nightmarish security lines at airports.

Members of Congress can be immune to those headaches, thanks to perks like Delta’s service desk.

News that the airline is suspending the service drew cheers on social media.

Excellent news! This is long overdue!

DO THIS FOR EVERY SHUT DOWN!!! Congress needs to feel the same pain as the rest of us!

— KH (@futureblues) March 24, 2026

Delta’s move comes after the Senate on Thursday passed a bill that would prohibit members of Congress from skipping airport security lines manned by the TSA.

“The perk is just one of a bundle that have made flying a lot easier for the frequent flyers in Congress, who often are on an airplane twice a week or more commuting to Washington and back,” Murphy wrote.

“Along with skipping the lines, some members of Congress also request local police escorts to their gates. And they all get access to major airlines’ dedicated Congressional service desks to book trips, make last-minute changes, and even reserve seats on one, two or three flights on the same day, depending on congressional vote schedules.

“In regular times, these could be seen as prudent security measures for high-profile flyers or simply good customer service for some of the airlines’ best customers. But taken together, they also inoculate Congress from the chaos Washington is causing.”

At Delta at any rate, that inoculation is going to be on hold until the impasse over DHS funding is resolved.

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker (D) blamed President Trump following the murder of Loyola University student by an illegal alien.

Another innocent young American woman was murdered by one of Joe Biden’s illegal aliens in the sanctuary state of Democrat-run Illinois.

Very early Thursday morning, 18-year-old Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman was shot and killed near campus in Chicago.

A masked gunman approached a group of students walking in Rogers Park and opened fire.

Gorman was shot in the head and died at the scene.

On Sunday it was confirmed that the masked gunman who killed Gorman is a 25-year-old illegal alien from Venezuela who entered the US under the Biden Regime.

The Department of Homeland Security blasted the Biden Regime and Pritzker.

“Sheridan Gorman had her whole life ahead of her before this cold-blooded killer decided to end her life. She was failed by open border policies and sanctuary politicians who RELEASED this illegal alien TWICE before he went on to commit this heinous murder,” said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis.

“We are calling on Governor Pritzker and Chicago’s sanctuary politicians to commit to not releasing this criminal illegal alien from jail back into American neighborhoods,” the DHS said.

Pritzker blamed President Trump following the murder of Sheridan Gorman.

“I agree there have been real failures. Those failures, of course, extend beyond the borders of Illinois. They are national failures,” Pritzker said blaming Trump.

“A failure to have comprehensive immigration reform. A failure of the president to follow his own edict to go after the worst of the worst,” he said.

Oil and gas executive Alan Armstrong has officially been sworn in as the newest Republican U.S. Senator from Oklahoma, replacing former Sen. Markwayne Mullin, who was just elevated to lead the Department of Homeland Security.

Armstrong, a longtime energy industry heavyweight and former CEO of Williams Companies, took the oath of office Tuesday in Washington, just hours after Oklahoma Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt announced his appointment.

“I am honored to announce my appointment of Alan Armstrong to the U.S. Senate.

Alan is a proud third-generation Oklahoman, staunch conservative, respected business leader, and a devoted family man with an inspiring American Dream story.

He is entering the U.S. Senate at a critical time for advancing reforms to secure America’s energy future. I have no doubt that his perspective will be influential in moving the needle on permitting reform to unlock American competitiveness and energy affordability for generations to come.

Congratulations, Alan! You’ll make Oklahoma proud!”

Watch Armstrong’s speech after he was appointed by the Governor. Stitt:



On Sunday, The Gateway Pundit reported that Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt has chosen oil and gas executive Alan Armstrong to fill the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Markwayne Mullin.

The move comes after Mullin was confirmed and sworn in as DHS Secretary, a transition that instantly triggered a high-stakes appointment battle in deep-red Oklahoma.

Armstrong’s appointment keeps the Senate seat firmly in Republican hands, preserving the GOP majority. However, under Oklahoma law, there’s a catch:

• Armstrong must serve only as a temporary replacement
• He cannot run for the seat in the 2026 election after signing a required pledge

That means his tenure is expected to last until early 2027 or until voters elect a permanent successor later this year.

NBC News reported:

Democrat Emily Gregory won a special election Tuesday for the Florida state House district that includes President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, flipping the seat from Republican control, The Associated Press projects.

Gregory beat Republican Jon Maples, whom Trump endorsed, in the race for a seat that has been vacant since August, when Mike Caruso resigned from the Legislature and was appointed Palm Beach County clerk.

Gregory had 51% of the vote to 49% for Maples with all precincts reporting.

Trump carried this Florida legislative district by about 11 percentage points in 2024, according to The Downballot, a left-leaning political site that tracks special elections.

Frederiksen comes out ahead, but short of a majority.

It’s one thing to be constantly posturing in the MSM, be it warmongering for Ukraine, or else surfing in the European elites’ wave of Trump Derangement Syndrome, but it’s a totally different thing to have support among your population when your government submits them to an unprecedented cost-of-life crisis.

Reuters reported:

“Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen emerged ahead but weakened in Tuesday’s election, as the cost-of-living ​crisis appeared to obscure Denmark’s support for her tough stance against U.S. President Donald Trump over Greenland.

In power since 2019, Frederiksen has benefited in ‌recent months from her resistance to Trump’s desires to control the Arctic island, but many Danes have grown weary of her focus on international affairs and accused her of neglecting domestic woes.”

Polls are predicting between 83 and 86 seats in Parliament for Frederiksen’s left block, and between 75 and 78 to the right.

“If official results confirm the outcome, Frederiksen may struggle to form a cabinet. She will likely need ​support from across the political spectrum, similar to her outgoing cabinet, Denmark’s first to bring left- and right-wing parties together in more than four decades.”

The Prime Minister is respected among the Brussels establishment, but when it comes to internal policies, she is increasingly contested.

“’She is between a rock and a hard place because the (exit poll) numbers are ​bad for her’, said Andreas Thyrring, a partner at Ulveman & Borsting public affairs advisory firm.”

A Guatemalan illegal alien who was released into the US by the Biden Regime was arrested for brutally raping a 5-year-old girl in Long Island, New York.

Carlos Aguilar Reynoso was indicted this week after he violently raped a child so badly that she needed surgery to treat the injuries.

Reynoso was charged with first-degree rape, predatory sexual assault against a child, sexual abuse, and endangering the welfare of a child.

According to Long Island News 12, on February 1, Reynoso was tasked with babysitting the little girl and raped her while the mother was gone.

When the victim’s mother came home, she realized her daughter was acting differently and discovered blood in the child’s underwear.

The victim was taken to a local hospital and later transferred to a specialized hospital where she underwent surgery.

The Suffolk County DA Ray Tierney blasted dangerous sanctuary laws that protected the illegal alien pedophile.

“Incredibly, up in Albany right now there are new Sanctuary laws currently under consideration that would have prevented us from even talking to federal immigration authorities,” Tierney said in a statement.

“My message to our state legislators and Governor is simple – Stop protecting the rights of alleged child rapists at the expense of child victims,” he said.

Long Island News 12 reported:

A 27-year-old Guatemalan national is being held without bail after initially being released following an arrest in connection with endangering the welfare of a child, according to Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney.

Carlos Aguilar Reynoso, was indicted Monday on charges that included the alleged rape of a 5-year-old child.

At Tierney’s direction, Aguilar Reynoso was issued a desk appearance ticket instead of being arraigned and released from the courthouse on a lower charge during the investigation.

That decision allowed federal immigration authorities to take Aguilar Reynoso into custody the moment he walked out of the police precinct, which they did on Feb. 2 for illegally entering the United States.

“ICE officers, tracking every move of this criminal illegal alien with violent and heinous propensities, arrested him on his way out of a New York precinct the day after the alleged rape to ensure that he never walks our streets again,” the DHS said.

It is such a privilege to work at @DHSgov with @ICEgov to help keep monsters like this one off the streets.

Conservative firebrands Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) took to social media to sound the alarm on a scheme by Senate Majority Leader John Thune to “ram” the critical voter ID legislation through the budget reconciliation process, a move they warn is a legislative dead end designed to fail.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Thune suggested Republicans may resort to reconciliation to bypass Democrat obstruction and pass the SAVE America Act with just 50 votes plus Vice President JD Vance.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna issued a blistering warning on X, accusing Senate leadership of attempting to dodge a real vote on voter ID and election integrity.

“The Senate is sidestepping the SAVE America Act. During the last reconciliation, the parliamentarian stripped out a significant amount. Now the Senate is looking to play the blame game with the parliamentarian.

Under reconciliation, you can’t legislate policy, meaning you CANNOT include the SAVE America Act.

I will be a NO on reconciliation.

Stop sidestepping America, @LeaderJohnThune.

They’re literally trying everything they can to get out of voting for Voter ID and it is disgusting.”

— Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (@RepLuna) March 24, 2026

Luna’s remarks cut to the heart of the issue: reconciliation is strictly limited to budgetary matters under Senate rules. Policy-heavy legislation, like the SAVE America Act, faces near-certain rejection under the Byrd Rule, which allows the Senate parliamentarian to strip out provisions deemed unrelated to federal spending or revenue.

Senator Mike Lee, one of the foremost constitutional experts in the upper chamber, released a blistering video explanation of why Thune’s plan is a total sham.

Lee explained that budget reconciliation is strictly for items that impact the federal budget. Because the SAVE America Act is a policy change, requiring proof of citizenship to vote, the Senate Parliamentarian will almost certainly strip it from any reconciliation bill.

“There are a lot of things that can be passed through a Senate procedure known as budget reconciliation, through which we can pass things with a simple majority vote. The SAVE America Act isn’t one of those things. It can’t pass through budget reconciliation because it’s a policy. It is not budgetary.

And even if you attach money to it, there are things at the margins we could do to help facilitate compliance with it. But the restrictions themselves have basically zero chance of meeting the standard to pass through budget reconciliation.

So look, regardless, there are other reasons out there to do budget reconciliation. Do not be fooled into thinking that we can set down the SAVE America Act and just pick it up on budget reconciliation. That’s not going to work.”

If you’re sick of watching interest charges devour your paycheck like a starving pit bull on a steak, pay attention, because we’re going to talk about the closest thing to free money the banks have ever been forced to cough up.

Right now, a handful of cards are handing out 0% interest for up to 21 months on both new purchases and balance transfers. No tricks, no “gotcha” in the fine print that only a Harvard lawyer can decode — just pure, uncut breathing room.

These aren’t fly-by-night outfits; they’re the big, boring banks your grandma trusted, the ones with vaults thicker than a politician’s skull and fraud protection that actually works when some teenager in Romania tries to buy a jet ski with your number.

You move your existing debt over in the first 60–90 days and suddenly that $8,000 at 24% is sitting pretty at zero. Do the math — that’s two grand you don’t flush down the toilet.

Picture this: next Christmas rolls around and you’re not sweating bullets. You buy the gifts, book the trip, fix the furnace, whatever, and nothing bleeds interest for almost two years while you pay it down on your terms.

Good credit? You’re in like Flynn. Fair credit? A couple of these will still roll out the red carpet. The application takes five minutes, and half the time you get an answer before your coffee gets cold.

Most have no annual fee — none, zero, zip — so the card can sit in your wallet earning dust or earning rewards, your call.

Some of these beasts even waive late fees completely. Miss a payment because life exploded? No $40 spanking and no credit-score gut punch. That alone is worth its weight in gold-plated titanium.

When the intro period ends, the ongoing rate is sane — not the 79% loan-shark nonsense you see on late-night TV. Plus you’re stacking cash back, travel miles, or points on groceries, gas, and everything else you were going to buy anyway.

You’re looking at 21-month runways. That’s long enough to kill off revolving debt, remodel the kitchen, or fund the side hustle without paying a dime in interest if you play it smart.

Fraud? They’ve got real-time alerts, one-tap card freeze, and zero liability. Your money is safer than a squirrel’s nut stash under six feet of snow.

Balance-transfer fees are posted in plain English up front — usually 3% or less — so there’s no “surprise” that makes you want to throw your laptop out the window.

Bottom line: these deals are the financial equivalent of finding a loaded wallet on the sidewalk with a note that says “keep it.”

You keep scrolling past these offers and nothing changes. You click, fill out the short form, and suddenly you’re the one in control instead of the credit-card companies. 

A tip: Don’t just apply for one card – apply for three at one time and see which get approved.

Stop wrestling with interest charges that grow faster than a teenager’s gaming habit. Grab one of these 0% offers before the bean counters wake up and kill them.

One click here, five minutes, and you just handed yourself a raise you’ll feel every single month. 

Your move. The clock’s ticking, and these intro periods won’t last forever.
