Month: March 2026

During Trump’s 2025 State of the Union address, he pointed out that when it came to closing the southern border, all we really needed was a new president. He was absolutely right.

DHS is pointing out that we are now at ten straight months of zero illegals aliens released at the border.

Remember Joe Biden and Democrats trying to pretend that they needed new legislation in order to do this? It was all a lie. Trump got the job done and didn’t need any of the things Democrats claimed were necessary.

DHS put out this press release:

Tenth Straight Month of Zero Illegal Aliens Released at the Border

Today, the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced its tenth consecutive month of zero releases at the border, continuing its trend of historically low border crossings. February data also showed that CBP recorded its highest single month of drug seizures since October 2021.

“Ten straight months of ZERO illegal aliens released at the border. President Trump promised to secure the Border, and that is a promise we delivered,” said Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem. “We have the most secure border in American history. Our borders are CLOSED to lawbreakers.”

“February marks the tenth straight month that U.S. Border Patrol has not released a single illegal alien into the interior of the United States — a clear reflection of the enforcement-first posture restoring integrity to our nation’s borders,” said CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott. “While threats to our national and economic security continue to evolve, so does our resolve to meet them, as we carry out our mission of protecting the homeland while facilitating lawful travel and trade.”

The sustained decline in illegal border crossings and apprehensions—now at levels not seen in over three decades—shows the impact of robust enforcement policies. With daily apprehensions down 95% from the previous administration and 13 consecutive months of fewer than 9,000 southwest border apprehensions, the border remains more secure than at any point in history.

Meanwhile, Democrats continue to push utter nonsense like suggesting that Thomas Paine, a major figure in the American Revolution, was an undocumented immigrant.

Raskin: “Thomas Paine was an undocumented immigrant.”

Jordan: “How was he an illegal immigrant? He was born in the UK and came to America, then a British colony.”

Sure, Rep. Raskin. Thomas Paine was just like someone who sneaked across our southern border.

These people are insane.

Conservative historian and scholar Victor Davis Hanson just put Operation Epic Fury into historic perspective during an appearance on FOX News and compared Trump to Winston Churchill in the process.

Hanson makes the point that when Churchill was trying to warn the world about Germany, he was largely ignored by other leaders and suggests that a similar thing is happening with Trump and Iran.

He also points out that all of Trump’s recent predecessors have said that they wished they had dealt with the problem of Iran while they were in office. The difference is that Trump is actually doing it.

Transcript via Overton News:

HANSON: “In 1939 Churchill had warned everybody about the threat of fascism on the continent…nobody listened to him.”

“Then after the war broke out, nobody called on him and then finally he came in and from May 10th of 1940 he was saying to everybody, these people want to take over the continent.”

“He was the voice in the wilderness.”

“That’s what Trump is trying to do, trying to say to the American Democratic party, what’s left of it, you don’t understand what’s going on here.”

“You Europeans don’t understand, you people in the Middle East don’t fully understand what this regime is about.”

“When people say we did not have an imminent threat, we didn’t have an imminent threat when they took our hostages, when they blew up our barracks.”

“Nobody said we better attack Iran because we need an imminent threat when they blew up our embassy, they always acted spontaneously with surprises and we never knew what they were going to do.”

“The idea you have to have a telegraphed imminent threat, it’s not the nature of that regime.”

“It’s lying, disguise and dissimulation. That’s their pattern for the last 47 years.”

“But nobody’s taken them seriously.”

“Every president’s said we’re going to deal with this, all seven of them and all seven did not.”

“And then all seven of them when they got out of office said I regret that I didn’t”

“He’s the first one that warned the world and said he’s not going to be one of those presidents.”

Victor Davis Hanson draws an uncanny comparison between President Trump and Winston Churchill — two leaders warning about a growing threat while the world refuses to listen.

The only reason Democrats are not getting behind this effort is because they do not want Trump to have another victory. They care more about that than they do about America’s national security or peace in the Middle East.

The nerve of a judge to deport an illegal immigrant who held the lofty status of a staff member for the New York City Council has left New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani in high dudgeon.

Rafael Andres Rubio Bohorquez, a data analyst for the council, will be deported to Venezuela. The Department of Homeland Security said Rubio overstayed his 2017 tourist visa, has an arrest for assault, and does not possess work authorization, CBS News noted.

Mamdani argued his version of reality should take precedence over the law.

“Today, an administrative immigration judge ordered the deportation of Rafael Rubio, a City Council employee. This is an affront to justice,” Mamdani posted on X.

“A dedicated public servant with legal authorization to remain in the country, Rafael showed up for a routine immigration appointment and, despite following the rules, he was detained and has now been held for months. He should be immediately released,” Mamdani wrote.

After Wednesday’s ruling,  a Department of Homeland Security representative said, “Today, an immigration judge ordered Rafael Andres Rubio Bohorquez, a criminal illegal alien from Venezuela and an employee of New York’s City Council a final order of removal,” according to CBS

“His criminal history includes an arrest for assault. This ruling is a victory for the rule of law. ICE will work as quickly as possible to return this criminal to his home country,” the DHS statement said.

New York State Attorney General Letitia James, however, disagreed. “This deportation order is outrageous … He followed the law. He should be released,” she said.

City Council Speaker Julie Menin said deportation was the wrong response to a trivial paperwork issue.

She said the judge “deemed Rafael’s asylum application, quote unquote, ‘abandoned’ based on a technical issue related to a missing signature. The judge refused to allow the issue to be corrected.”

“That is not justice. That is an extreme, cruel, inhumane outcome based on a technical procedural issue,” Menin said.

Rubio Bohorquez plans to appeal the ruling at the Board of Immigration Appeals, Menin said, according to the New York Post.

He will also file a motion to have his case reopened, Menin said.

Rubio Bohorquez has been in jail since his January arrest. He has demanded his release in a lawsuit filed in federal court, but federal judge John Cronan has not ordered his release.

The staffer had been employed by the city council for about a year, according to Fox News.

Russia Today correspondent Steve Sweeney and cameraman Ali Rida were nearly struck by an Israeli missile on Thursday while reporting from Southern Lebanon. 

The outlet described the incident as “a DELIBERATE TARGETED ATTACK on journalists.”

“There’s no mistake about it,” they said. “This was an Israeli precision strike FROM A FIGHTER JET — RT corr Steve Sweeney who was wounded earlier today.”

While reporting on the ground, the missile could be heard approaching before landing right behind him as he braced for cover. “F*cking hell,” he exclaimed after the massive blast.

Watch the video here.

Per Deadline:

Here’s the moment a British reporter from Russian state broadcaster RT narrowly escaped serious injury or death when an Israeli missile landed just meters away from his reporting position.

RT, formerly Russia Today, said Steve Sweeney, its Lebanon bureau chief, and his cameraman had “miraculously survived” and were being treated in hospital. The footage, which has been verified by outlets including the BBC, shows the missile landing and Sweeney hitting the deck in a shower of shrapnel before uttering expletives.

There have been ongoing Israeli air strikes and ground operations in southern Lebanon as Israel and the U.S. continue to strike Iran and its allies in the Middle East.

Lebanese authorities say that close to 1,000 people have been killed and one million displaced since Israeli air strikes and incursions began in the country earlier this month in response to Hezbollah rockets fired into Israel after the U.S. and Israel’s attack on Iran.

Russia Today editor in-chief Margarita Simonyan said in an X post, “Our correspondent Steve Sweeney has been wounded by an Israeli strike in Lebanon. He says an IDF plane fired upon the car carrying Steve and his cameraman, as they were crossing a bridge in the south of the country. Both men are conscious in hospital, doctors are diagnosing extent of shrapnel damage.”

The Israeli Defense Force responded with a statment, writing, “In footage released in the past few hours, a journalist is seen at the Qasmiya crossing. An explicit warning had been issued regarding this area. The crossing was struck after sufficient time had passed since warnings. The crossing was again targeted today [Thursday] at 12:30. The IDF does not target civilians or journalists and operates in accordance with international law.”

It can be recalled that RINO Warmonger Lindsey Graham previously demanded that President Trump “join Israel to attack Hezbollah” after Secretary of State Marco Rubio briefed lawmakers on the Iran operations earlier this month.

Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts has just endorsed Graham Platner, who is running for a U.S. Senate seat in Maine.

Platner, whose political views align with Bernie Sanders, has been in the news for months now because he had a literal Nazi tattoo on his chest for years and made all kinds of problematic statements on Reddit in the past. Once the tattoo controversy became trouble for his campaign, he had it covered up with something else.

Elizabeth Warren apparently has no problem with any of this, because he’s a Democrat.

The Hill reports:

Warren endorses Platner in Maine Senate race

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) on Thursday endorsed oyster farmer Graham Platner over Maine Gov. Janet Mills (D) in the Democratic primary to take on Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) this fall — the fourth senator to back the populist candidate.

“He’s a combat veteran, an oyster farmer, and has inspired people with his populist agenda for a government on the side of working families––not the billionaires and giant corporations,” Warren said in a statement shared by Platner’s campaign.

“Graham will fight every single day to make life better for the people of Maine in the United States Senate,” she added. “I’m proud to endorse him.”

Platner in his own statement called it “an honor” to have the progressive senator’s support and described her as “an inspiration.”

Here’s the video. Try not to laugh as she spews lie after lie:

Endorsement Alert!

“People are excited to vote for someone who will actually fight for them. Not just nibble around the edges.”

Thank you, Senator Warren. Together I look forward to taking on Wall Street and the billionaires waging a class war against the rest of us. pic.twitter.com/BQjKMNaldP

— Graham Platner for Senate (@grahamformaine) March 19, 2026

Warren has no problem with Platner’s Nazi tattoo, but back in January of 2025 when Pete Hegseth was being confirmed as Secretary of War, she called his Christian tattoos symbols of right wing extremism.

The New York Post reported:

Despite religious scholars later countering that the Deus Vult is often considered a common Christian symbol, Warren contended that the fact that his superiors were concerned about the tattoo raises questions about whether he could be the Pentagon chief.

“You were also removed from President Biden’s inauguration because of concerns that you were an insider threat after reports that your ‘Deus Vult’ tattoo ‘was a Christian expression associated with right-wing extremism,’” she wrote to Hegseth.

“We cannot have a Defense Secretary whose fellow servicemembers feel concerned enough about to report as a potential insider threat.”

Elizabeth Warren does all of this with a straight face because she’s a liar, but you already knew that.

MSNOW, the left wing network formerly known as MSNBC, is dropping the charade of being a ‘news’ network to focus on their real money maker, which is anti-Trump resistance TV shows.

This is actually a smart move for them.

People who watch MSNOW are not going there for news, they watch to have their anti-Trump biases confirmed. They watch to cheer on as the hosts insult Trump and all things Republican.

NewsBusters reported:

Rating MS DOWN? MS NOW Shakes Up Network Line Up, Anchors Out

After being cast out into the wilderness by NBCUniversal last year, things didn’t appear to be going well for the rebranded “MS NOW.” On Wednesday, a shakeup was announced that saw daytime completely reshaped with two anchors losing their seats with at least one already announcing that she had quit, Morning Joe experiencing some shrinkage, while a new face would appear during the 11th Hour, among other shifts.

Going down the line up, first, Morning Joe will be losing an hour. After spending some time at an inflated four hours of Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski shrieking at the camera, the purported preferred morning show for Washington D.C. insiders would be returning to just three hours.

Anchor Stephanie Ruhle will be leaving The 11th Hour and taking over that lost hour from Morning Joe, as well as the following one. Meaning her time slot would be 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.

One of the more noteworthy line items in the shakeup was Ana Cabrera losing her position as an anchor of the 11a a.m. slot, and her announcement that she would be leaving the company.

FOX News has more details:

MS NOW leans into its liberal identity by rolling back on straight news programs, insiders say

One network insider told Fox News Digital that MS NOW is veering away from the “Andy Lack nonsense” of the editorial programming separations between daytime and primetime, referring to the network’s former chairman during its MSNBC days from 2015-2020.

“Both internally and to the viewer, the distinctions are less clear than they used to be, including the distinctions between perspective and news,” the MS NOW staffer said. “The sort of the general weakening of CNN has caused MS NOW to lean more into what it is and what its viewers like.”

The insider pointed to the success of “Deadline: White House” hosted by Nicolle Wallace, highlighting how her 4 p.m. show earns viewership that rivals the network’s primetime programming.

“What we’re finding is you can achieve that in different parts of the day if you don’t pretend to be CNN for half your lineup,” the MS NOW staffer said. “So, I think what you’re going to be seeing is changes to shows that just seem like news, right?

“The Ana Cabrera, Chris Jansing thing — those are disappearing. I think you’re gonna see that throughout the lineup. Everything’s going to feel a little more MS NOW all the way through.

MSNOW knows which side of their bread is buttered. They’re leaning into the programming that their fans demand.

FOX News still dominates cable news ratings, but as you can see from the numbers below, some shows on MSNOW are pulling in decent returns.

CNN is completely lost.

CNN continues to get absolutely OBLITERATED in the ratings.

It’s not even close.

Will Sex Trafficking allegations be seriously probed?

It took British law enforcement decades to move on Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, the favorite son of late Queen Elizabeth II.

And only when his endless scandals were threatening the very foundation of the British Monarchy, was he stripped of his titles, arrested and put under criminal investigation for Misconduct in Public Office.

While we have all the reasons in the world to be skeptical about whether this investigation will have any teeth to go after such a lofty character, there is incontrovertible evidence of Andrew sharing confidential government documents with the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

And now, believe it if you can, reports arise that the UK police inquiry into Andrew could widen beyond the offence of misconduct in public office and address the innumerable allegations of sexual misconduct.

Andrew police investigation ‘may widen into corruption offences’https://t.co/XvOtaHh4UW

— The Telegraph (@Telegraph) March 19, 2026

The Times reported:

“The police inquiry into Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is likely to widen beyond the offence of misconduct in public office, The Times has learnt.

Andrew is set to be investigated over other potential corruption offences on top of a scoping inquiry into alleged sex trafficking, police sources said.”

Detectives at Thames Valley police are broadening their investigation beyond the initial crime.

“According to emails in the Epstein files, a massive cache of information released by the US Department of Justice, Andrew appeared to have forwarded official reports of trips to Singapore, Hong Kong and Vietnam in 2010 and 2011.”

Airports across the country felt the pinch Tuesday after 2,700 Transportation Security Agency officers, equal to 10 percent of the workforce, didn’t show up.

“Atlanta and New Orleans saw the biggest impacts … with nearly 40 percent of officers calling out in each airport,” according to a report by ABC News.

New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport saw 30 percent of its agents call out, while nearly 41 percent of officers at Houston’s William P. Hobby Airport called in sick.

Normally, only about 2 percent of officers are absent on a typical day, the network reported.

The absences coincided with TSA employees receiving their first $0 paycheck due to the partial government shutdown in an ongoing partisan battle in Washington, D.C., over the Department of Homeland Security.

Staff shortages were already causing delays, but now things appear to be getting worse.

Acting Deputy Administrator Adam Stahl told ABC that smaller airports might be forced to close security lanes and could even halt operations entirely if these trends continue.

“Over a hundred airports in the United States have around one or two lanes,” he said. “And if we have a certain amount of callouts increase, we might have to quite literally collapse those lanes and close those lanes, which could temporarily halt operations at that airport.”

A DHS spokesperson placed the blame squarely on congressional Democrats for continually causing government shutdowns and holding federal money hostage.

“The Democrats’ reckless DHS shutdown is causing TSA officers to go without pay for the third time in nearly six months,” the agency said in a statement to ABC News.

It continued, “Many TSA officers cannot pay their rent, buy food, or afford to put gas in their cars — forcing them to call out sick from work. Now, Americans are facing HOURS long waits at airports across the country. Democrats must reopen DHS now.”

President Donald Trump has also blamed Democratic lawmakers for recent travel issues on social media this past week.

“The crazed Democrats are not allowing TSA Agents to get paid. The deal was made a long time ago,” he wrote Monday on Truth Social. “They broke it in order to get money for Sanctuary Cities and illegal aliens, many of them hardened criminals. The Radical Left Democrats are hopeless!!!”

In a separate post Wednesday, the commander in chief added, “The [Democrats’] purposeful DHS SHUTDOWN is causing chaos at the airports. These Lunatics are being totally unreasonable in their Radical Left asks. They are FULLY TO BLAME, and must pay a big price, for the good of our Country, in the Midterm Elections.”
