Month: March 2026

In a heartwarming display of family that perfectly embodies conservative values, Republican Senate candidate Paul Dans and his wife, renowned ballerina and fitness entrepreneur Mary Helen Bowers, have welcomed their fifth child, as he continues to meet with voters across South Carolina in his primary challenge to warmongering Senator Lindsey Graham.

Baby Filomena Helen Dans arrived on Saturday and is the couple’s fourth daughter.

So blessed and proud to welcome Baby Girl Dans to our family! Mom and Baby doing fantastic! Thank you all for your prayers! God is good! @balletbeautiful pic.twitter.com/4V6k6PIZJu

Mary Helen, who runs the popular Ballet Beautiful program and previously danced with the New York City Ballet, shared the news on social media, gushing that “Family is everything.”

It’s a GIRL!!!

Paul and I are so proud to introduce our newest addition, Miss Filomena Helen Dans. She’s an old fashioned little lady, named after our family Matriarchs, two of her great grandmothers.

The new baby may make campaigning a bit more challenging, but she also highlights her father’s powerful contrast with childless Graham, who recently appeared on national television, declaring he would head back to South Carolina to personally convince constituents to “send their sons and daughters to the Mideast” amid escalating conflict with Iran.

When asked by The Gateway Pundit what it is like having a new baby while on the campaign trail, Dans explained, “I will preserve a future for my children and all the children of South Carolina. There’s no better place to have one to draw that contrast with childless wannabe President Lindsey Graham, who barely registered 1% of the vote when he did run for President. It’s actually the perfect time to have a kid. It’s a sharp reminder of who and what I’m fighting for during this campaign, and that’s the future of South Carolina. It starts with how we look after our own children.”

Introducing Filomena Helen Dans born March 20, 2026, 9lbs 5oz and 22inches! She is a GIFT FROM GOD, and a reminder that we are all created in the Lord’s image. She is named after two of her great grandmothers who were cornerstones of our families.

His reaction to Graham’s vow to send South Carolina’s children off to war, Dans explained, “is the same reaction I have to anything that comes out of Lady Graham’s mouth: he’s completely out of touch with the people of South Carolina. Graham and 90% of the Senate are completely occupied with foreign interests and influence. The Great Pat Buchanan used to talk about that. It’s really easy for Lady G to ask South Carolinians to send their sons and daughters to fight and die in the Middle East because he’s got neither a son nor a daughter to chip into the fight that he demands our children participate in.”

Lady Graham is drunk on war and power. He will send your kids to die so he can line his pockets with money.
South Carolina is done with it.

Of course, Graham wants your kids to die in Iran, while he sits safely in Washington with no skin in the game.

Dans is the exact opposite.

A devoted husband and father of five, Dans is running on an explicitly America First platform to end endless wars, slash the $35 trillion national debt, and restore faith-based values in government.

“Whether its education for reindustrialization, putting a high-tech shop class back into every middle and high school so that our kids can learn robotics or HVAC, or whether it’s passing a 21st Century Homesteading act that re-engineers American farming away from illegal immigrants and invasive pesticides, all of my policies are geared towards the future of South Carolina, because unlike Lady Graham I have a stake in the future of South Carolina,” Dans told The Gateway Pundit.

I went on to the @charliekirk11 show today. As one of the gracious hosts @BlakeSNeff pointed out Charlie was an ally and admirer of mine. Charlie and I worked together dismantling the deep state.

As the chief architect of Project 2025, which struck fear into the hearts of the left, and a former Trump administration official, Dans knows exactly how to drain the swamp and put American families ahead of globalist entanglements.

Dans’ campaign website explains, “Precious American blood and trillions of dollars in American treasure has been wasted on the other side of the world by our corrupt ruling class. I will always put AMERICANS FIRST, not the interests of the lobbying arms of foreign powers. We must be extremely judicious when exercising the power of the American military. I have always opposed foreign adventurism and will continue to do so – I will never take money from ANY foreign lobbies and interests. As your next US Senator, I pledge to vote responsibly and reign in the military industrial complex.”

Additionally, Dans has vowed to work to “obliterate” the Deep State.

“I am going to destroy the Uniparty and put democracy back in the bureaucracy. The Deep State is real—and it’s out of control. From targeting conservative parents to censoring free speech, unaccountable federal agencies are working against the will of the people. I have spent years battling the administrative state. As Trump’s top personnel official and architect of Project 2025, I laid the groundwork to fire the entrenched insiders and bring transparency to D.C. Lindsey has gone soft—more interested in TV hits than taking on the FBI and DOJ. I will work closely with President Trump to put the people back in charge. As your next US Senator and chief Swamp Drainer, I pledge to never bend the knee to the Uniparty.”

“God, country, and family,” Dans has repeatedly said, and he’s living it.

While Graham lectures South Carolinians about sacrificing their children for his forever-war fantasies, Dans is raising strong conservative kids and fighting to bring our troops home so future generations don’t have to bleed for Beltway neocons.

This primary challenge is shaping up to be a referendum on the Republican Party’s soul in South Carolina.

On one side, we have Graham, the childless career politician who never met a war he didn’t like.

On the other hand, Dans, the family man, is ready to send Graham packing back to the retirement he’s long overdue for.

Dans joined the Trump administration in 2019 as a senior advisor in the Office of Community Planning and Development at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The following year, he became the White House liaison and senior advisor at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), later serving as the chief of staff.

Later, he served as Director of the 2025 Presidential Transition Project at The Heritage Foundation.

“My policy platform is simple: new ideas. Crackdown on inner city crime. We’re gonna make Myrtle Beach safe again. We’re gonna train our kids for the 4th Industrial Revolution. We’re gonna clean up American farming. Make it local, affordable, and healthy,” Dans said.

The post Big Tech Is Hiding the Truth – Now There Is a Search Tool That Exposes Everything appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.

The small, Central European state of Slovenia, the birthplace of Melania Trump, has moved to ration fuel and deploy military logistics support as a sudden surge in demand—fueled by cross-border traffic and global instability—has exposed the fragility of Europe’s energy system. The government’s emergency response reflects a growing crisis that is no longer confined to distant battlefields but is now reshaping daily life throughout the world.

The immediate trigger has been a sharp spike in fuel demand, driven in part by motorists crossing into Slovenia from neighboring countries in search of cheaper petrol and diesel. Authorities say this so-called “fuel tourism” has drained supplies at key stations, particularly near borders and along major transit routes, The Slovenia Times reports.

Under new rules, individuals are now limited to purchasing 50 liters of fuel per day, while businesses, including transport operators and farmers, can buy up to 200 liters. The restrictions apply nationwide and will remain in force indefinitely as officials struggle to stabilize supply chains.

At the same time, the government has taken the extraordinary step of mobilizing the armed forces to support fuel distribution. Military personnel are assisting with transport and logistics, highlighting the severity of the disruption and the state’s growing role in managing essential resources.

Officials insist the measures are temporary, but the scale of intervention suggests deeper structural weaknesses. The crisis has been exacerbated by volatile global energy markets following the escalation of conflict in the Middle East, which has sent oil prices soaring and strained supply networks across Europe.

In response, Slovenia has begun releasing up to 30 million liters of diesel from its strategic reserves. These reserves, totaling around 700 million liters, are intended to cover just over three months of national consumption, underscoring how quickly such buffers can be drawn down in times of crisis.

The government has also banned the export of this emergency fuel, ensuring it remains within national borders. Only selected domestic users—primarily those contributing to strategic reserves—are eligible to access these supplies.

Despite these interventions, shortages have persisted at several service stations, with some reporting demand levels multiple times higher than normal. Retailers have struggled to keep up, particularly as panic buying and stockpiling have intensified among businesses and individuals alike.

The lifting of fuel price caps on motorway service stations has further complicated the situation. Prices have surged, with some locations seeing dramatic increases, widening disparities between Slovenia and its neighbors and inadvertently fueling even more cross-border demand.

While price controls remain in place off the motorway network, these are expected to rise in the coming weeks. Government attempts to cushion the blow through tax reductions have done little to offset the broader impact of global price shocks.

Slovenia’s largest fuel distributor has warned that current measures may only offer short-term relief. Industry representatives argue that deeper structural changes are needed, particularly as the country remains heavily dependent on imported petroleum products.

The crisis has also reignited debate over European Union rules, which limit the ability of member states to restrict fuel purchases by foreign nationals. While Slovenia has considered such measures, officials have acknowledged they may violate EU law.

Instead, neighboring countries have been asked to monitor fuel imports by their citizens, a workaround that reflects growing tensions between national interests and supranational regulations. Critics argue that such constraints leave smaller states vulnerable in times of crisis.

The broader implications extend far beyond Slovenia’s borders. Across Central Europe, rising energy costs are beginning to ripple through economies, driving inflation and placing additional strain on households already facing economic uncertainty.

For many, the situation is a stark reminder that decisions made in distant geopolitical arenas can have immediate and tangible consequences at home. The conflict in the Middle East, while geographically remote, is now directly influencing fuel prices, supply chains, and even military deployments within Europe.

Farmers and transport companies have been particularly hard hit, as they rely heavily on diesel to maintain operations. Many have rushed to secure supplies, further intensifying demand and contributing to localized shortages.

Meanwhile, ordinary citizens are facing higher prices and new restrictions on basic necessities. The image of European motorists queuing for fuel or being limited in how much they can purchase marks a significant shift from the continent’s recent history of relative stability.

The government has called on fuel distributors to improve coordination and reporting, requiring regular updates on station conditions. These measures aim to provide real-time data to guide further policy decisions as the situation evolves.

Prime Minister Robert Golob has not ruled out additional restrictions, including potential limits targeting foreign buyers. Retailers have been advised to prepare for such scenarios, signaling that further tightening may be imminent.

Supporters of stronger national controls argue that the current situation validates long-standing concerns about globalization. They point to the inability to prioritize domestic needs as evidence that current frameworks are ill-equipped to handle crises.

The diversification of natural gas supplies in recent years has offered some relief, with Slovenia sourcing energy from multiple regions. However, this has not insulated the country from the immediate shocks affecting oil and fuel markets.

As the crisis unfolds, Slovenia finds itself at the intersection of global conflict and local consequence. What began as a distant geopolitical confrontation has quickly become a domestic emergency, reshaping policy and testing the limits of national sovereignty.

For Europe as a whole, the message appears to be that the effects of war are no longer confined to battle zones. They are being felt at the pump, on the roads, and in the daily lives of citizens far removed from the front lines. Rationing measures such as the ones imposed by the Slovenian government are expected to spread across Europe and elsewhere in the world if the Middle East conflict continues.

A full-scale assault on Hungarian sovereignty is underway as unelected bureaucrats in Brussels crank up their censorship apparatus just weeks before Hungary’s crucial parliamentary election on April 12, 2026.

According to a report from Brussels Signal, European Commission has shamelessly activated the so-called “rapid response” mechanism under the oppressive Digital Services Act (DSA), a naked attempt to meddle in Hungary’s internal democratic affairs and tilt the playing field against the nationalist government of Viktor Orbán.

This heavy-handed measure will stay in place until a full week after Hungarians cast their ballots, supposedly to fight “disinformation” and foreign meddling. In reality, it’s a blatant power grab by Brussels elites who cannot stomach a sovereign nation refusing to bow to their federalist agenda.

Critics rightly call it outright election interference—giving faceless EU commissars the power to dictate what Hungarian citizens can read, share, and debate online in the heat of a national campaign.

Major platforms like Meta and TikTok are now forced to team up with so-called “fact-checkers” and “civil society” groups—many fattened by EU cash handouts—to hunt down and suppress content Brussels dislikes. This creates a corrupt echo chamber: Brussels funds the watchdogs, sets the rules, and then enforces them through Big Tech. No wonder impartiality has gone out the window.

The Mathias Corvinus Collegium (MCC) in Brussels, via its Democracy Interference Observatory, has exposed this sham as anything but neutral. They warn it’s a politically motivated intervention designed to pre-emptively delegitimize the election if the Hungarian people dare to re-elect their patriotic leadership. The funding ties make it crystal clear: these are not independent guardians of truth, but paid extensions of the same Brussels machine targeting Hungary.

Leading conservative thinker Gregory Szilvay hit the nail on the head, calling this “definite interference in the Hungarian campaign.” He rightly points out that the liberal-federalist overlords in Brussels simply do not trust the Hungarian people to think for themselves. They treat ordinary Hungarians like children incapable of judging facts and forming their own opinions—classic arrogance from an out-of-touch elite desperate to impose their globalist vision.

The timing couldn’t be more suspicious. Hungary stands tall under Viktor Orbán as a bulwark against mass migration, reckless energy sanctions that punish Hungarian families, and suicidal escalation in the Ukraine conflict.

Brussels hates this defiance—Orbán refuses to sell out national interests for their utopian superstate dreams. So now they deploy this digital gag order precisely when the stakes are highest.

Even voices in Washington have sounded the alarm: the U.S. House Judiciary Committee has flagged how von der Leyen’s Commission weaponizes the DSA to rig electoral outcomes across Europe. Hungary is just the latest victim in their campaign to engineer “preferred” results.

Look at the suspiciously boosted opposition figure Péter Magyar and his Tisza Party—suddenly enjoying massive online visibility and favorable metrics, while pro-government voices face throttling and shadow bans. Claims of rigged digital reach are hard to dismiss when platforms dance to Brussels’ tune.

Then come the dubious polls, churned out by outfits entangled in EU funding networks and globalist foundations. They push a narrative of “Magyar surging ahead,” but many Hungarians smell manipulation: amplify selective numbers to set expectations, then cry foul if the real vote doesn’t match the script. It’s the same tired playbook used to question legitimate outcomes elsewhere.

And the “Russian interference” bogeyman? Once again trotted out with thin evidence, just like in Romania and Moldova—perfect pretext to justify Brussels’ iron fist.

Meanwhile, massive Peace Marches flood Hungarian streets with hundreds of thousands rallying for peace, sovereignty, and against war-mongering external pressures. Real grassroots support for Orbán’s principled stand remains rock-solid, especially in the countryside and smaller cities the international media ignores.

Hungarians are fed up with meddling from Brussels and elsewhere. Polls inside the country show overwhelming rejection of dictates on energy, migration, and foreign policy that would crush families and sovereignty.

This DSA crackdown isn’t about protecting democracy—it’s about controlling and limiting it. Brussels fears a free Hungarian people choosing their own path over EU conformity. As April 12 approaches, the real question isn’t just who wins—it’s whether Brussels will let the authentic voice of the Hungarian nation be heard at all.

Hungary must stand firm: no foreign interference, no Brussels censorship, no surrender of sovereignty. The patriots will decide Hungary’s future—not the eurocrats.

Fergie can reignite the ‘Epstein crisis’ and take it to new heights.

The shockwaves from the revelations contained in the US DOJ-released ‘Epstein files’ have greatly subsided, and we’ve come to a point where both the British government and the Royal family dare dream of a moment when they will have put this behind them.

That is – if Fergie does not get in the way.

Former Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, has had her reputation totally ruined with the tsunami of new damaging information released about her and her former husband, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

But now, she wants to put out her version of facts.

Sarah Ferguson ‘paid six-figure sum for tell-all reveal in the US’ https://t.co/Xv95L3xzKx

— Metro (@MetroUK) March 21, 2026

OK! Magazine reported:

“Sarah Ferguson is said to be preparing a dramatic return to the public stage with a tell-all memoir – a move sources tell OK! has triggered unprecedented legal planning within the royal household as King Charles and Prince William consider ways to prevent the publication of explosive claims about the monarchy.”

“Ferguson, 66, the former Duchess of York, has spent recent months largely outside the United Kingdom amid mounting controversy surrounding her former husband Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, 66, who is currently under investigation on suspicion of misconduct in public office. Andrew has not been charged with any crime and denies wrongdoing.

Against that turbulent backdrop, royal insiders say Ferguson has been quietly exploring a lucrative publishing deal that would allow her to tell her side of years of scandals and internal royal tensions.”

The prospect of a Fergie memoir with damaging revelations about the Royal Family has prompted ‘a rapid escalation in legal preparedness’ within Buckingham Palace.

“A source said: ‘There is real anxiety about what Sarah might choose to reveal. The mood in royal circles is that they cannot allow a situation where another damaging narrative about the monarchy spirals out of control. Lawyers are already examining every possible option. If a manuscript contains material that could harm the institution or breach private agreements, legal intervention is being considered’.”

President Donald Trump dropped a bombshell on Monday, signaling what could be a historic shift in the Middle East while delivering a stark warning to the Iranian regime: no nukes — or else.

On Monday morning, President Trump wrote on Truth Social that the U.S. had “very good and productive conversations” with Iran.

In the post, the 47th President stated, “I am pleased to report that the United States of America and the country of Iran have had, over the last two days, very good and productive conversations regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East.”

He added, “I have instructed the Department of War to postpone any and all military strikes against Iranian power plants and energy infrastructure for a five-day period.”

Several Iranian state media outlets have since denied having any talks with the Trump administration and cited quotes from the Foreign Ministry in Tehran.

In response to Iranian media reports denying that the talks took place, Trump told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo that he was unsure what Iran’s media was talking about, and that conversations did take place last night between Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner with Iranian representatives.

Bartiromo: “I just spoke with President Trump and he told me that Iran wants to make a deal badly … he said the most recent talks happened last night with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner and their counterparts. With Iranian TV saying no talks have happened, the president said it’s hard to get information there because the US is blowing up so much of their infrastructure”

On his way to Memphis, Trump revealed that ongoing negotiations with Iran have reached a critical stage, with Tehran allegedly agreeing to abandon its nuclear ambitions.

Trump also revealed the U.S. would physically take control of Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium, the “nuclear dust” that could have fueled a bomb.

Iran International reported:

Trump said the central condition of any agreement would be that Iran abandon its nuclear program.

“They’re not going to have nuclear weapons anymore. They’re agreeing to that,” he said.

He added that if a deal is reached, the United States would take control of Iran’s enriched uranium. “We’ll go down and we’ll take it ourselves,” he said.

Trump also said he believed recent US military strikes had significantly set back Iran’s nuclear capabilities, warning that without such action Tehran could have developed a weapon within weeks.

“If we didn’t hit them … they would have had a nuclear weapon within two weeks to a month,” he said.

[…]

The president said he supported allowing Iranian oil already at sea to enter global markets, arguing that increasing supply would help stabilize the system.

“I just want to have as much oil in the system as possible,” Trump said, adding it was unclear how much revenue Iran would ultimately receive.

“Any small amount of money that Iran gets is not going to have any difference in this war,” he said.

President Trump outlined Washington’s terms for any breakthrough: Iran must permanently forgo nuclear weapons, halt uranium enrichment, curb its missile program, and surrender its existing stockpile of enriched material.
