President Donald J. Trump rolled out his new federal budget proposal on Friday, which includes a record $1.5 trillion Department of War budget for the fiscal year 2027. This marks a nearly 40 percent increase over the fiscal year 2026 military spending.

The federal government's Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has revised downward February's already troubling job numbers, with losses now topping 133,000 for the month instead of the initially reported loss of 92,000. Importantly, the revision continues to suggest weakness in the U.S. labor market—despite far stronger job numbers in March.

Representative Yassamin Ansari (D-AZ) announced early Tuesday that she will introduce articles of impeachment in the House of Representatives against Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, alleging he is aiding in the commission of war crimes against civilian targets in the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Trump's threat to hit Iranian power plants, desalination plants, and bridges if the Islamist regime does not agree to reopen the Strait of Hormuz by 8:00 PM tonight.

The U.S. military on Tuesday struck around fifty military targets on the Islamic Republic of Iran's Kharg Island, a critical oil export hub for the Islamist regime located in the northern Persian Gulf.

Trump for the Iranian regime to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

The Biden – Harris government appears to be turning a blind eye to Chinese state-sponsored harassment of political dissidents, anti-communist protestors, and advocates for minority rights living in the United States. While there has been a crackdown on illicit Chinese-operated ‘police stations' in New York and San Francisco by the Department of Justice(DOJ)—more clandestine but highly organized efforts by the communist country to suppress the rights of anti-Chinese Communist Party ( CCP ) activists in the U.S. have largely continued unabated.

Nearly three days after the attempted assassination of former President Donald J. Trump , Joe Biden's Department of Justice ( DOJ ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation ( FBI ) have finally gained access to the would-be assassin's cell phone. “FBI technical specialists successfully gained access to Thomas Matthew Crooks' phone , and they continue to analyze his electronic devices,” the FBI said in a statement, noting that they have also completed searches of the deceased shooter's home and vehicle.

President Donald J. Trump has submitted a significant emergency funding request to Congress, aimed at addressing military, agricultural, and global health priorities following Operation Epic Fury.

TikTok and its Chinese Communist Party (CCP)-owned parent company, ByteDance, remains a serious national security threat despite a renewed push to force the social media video app's divestment from the United States's foreign adversary. President Donald J. Trump has signaled he is willing to give TikTok and ByteDance 90 more days to negotiate a possible sale to an American company—though it isn't clear if the CCP and their proxies at ByteDance have warmed to the idea of parting with the app and its valuable content
