The father of a California girl who sustained a traumatic brain injury when an illegal immigrant commercial truck driver slammed into a vehicle she was riding in urged congressional lawmakers to prioritize the safety of American citizens amid the back-and-forth rhetoric over the Trump administration’s mass deportation campaign. Marcus Coleman was in attendance during this week’s House Judiciary Committee hearing in which then-Homeland Security Kristi Noem answered questions about the agency’s immigration enforcement actions. “At this point right now, what they’re doing is extremely disrespectful. It’s insensitive,” Coleman told Fox News Digital, referring to elected officials who oppose illegal immigrant enforcement. “Until it happens to them, that’s the point of view they’re going to have.”On Wednesday, Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., a vocal critic of the Trump administration, apologized to the families in attendance who have lost loved ones to the actions of illegal immigrants, before remarking on migrant crime statistics during his interaction with Noem.BLUE STATE INVESTIGATES HOW ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT TRUCKER GOT LICENSE BEFORE DEADLY FLORIDA CRASH”For the folks that are here and your families, I’m sorry,” Cohen said, holding his hand over his heart. “It’s terrible what happened to you, to your children or your family members, but they are more likely… citizens are more likely to be attacked by United States citizens who are not undocumented.”Noem, who has since been reassigned as the Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas, shot back, calling Cohen’s remark offensive to the Angel Families, which refers to relatives of Americans killed by individuals in the United States unlawfully.”The vast majority of the people sitting behind me have lost their children due to drugs, overdoses from drugs that came over the southern border,” she said. “They died from their kids being hit in accidents on the roads where illegal drivers were driving a truck. Marcus Coleman, Delilah’s father, has told the story over and over again.”In 2024, Dalilah Coleman was critically injured in Southern California when the driver of an 18-wheel tractor-trailer moving at 60 mph slammed into a vehicle she was traveling in. She sustained a fractured skull, broken femur and a traumatic brain injury. Partap Singh, an illegal immigrant from India, was identified as the driver who obtained a commercial driver’s license in California, authorities said. Singh was driving at an unsafe speed and failed to stop for traffic in a construction zone just before the crash. TRUMP UNLOADS ON ‘RADICAL LEFT’ AS HE STANDS BY KRISTI NOEM AMID IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT UNREST”They go back home, like my daughter’s driver,” Coleman added. “He went back to India and he’s living life free. And my daughter said, you’re dealing with this. Had that been a U.S. citizen, he’d have been in jail right now.”President Donald Trump honored Dalilah during his State of the Union address, drawing applause in the chamber as she attended with her father. “Dalilah Coleman was only five years old in June 2024 when an eighteen-wheeler tractor-trailer plowed into her stopped car at sixty miles an hour or more,” Trump said. “The driver was an illegal alien let in by Joe Biden and given a commercial driver’s license by open borders politicians in California.”CALIFORNIA FATHER SAYS NEWSOM IGNORED HIM AFTER ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT TRUCKER LEFT DAUGHTER UNABLE TO WALKTrump and Noem have come under criticism from Democrats who view actions taken to arrest illegal migrants as harmful. Meanwhile, Republicans have cited multiple instances in which American citizens have been killed, injured and harmed by people living in the U.S. illegally. “They shouldn’t be here to begin with,” Coleman said. “So for every one of those families that’s out there, just the fact that it was an illegal person who did it, it shouldn’t have happened.”During Wednesday’s hearing, Cohen alluded to a 2024 Justice Department study using data from Texas that shows that illegal immigrants are less than half as likely as native-born Americans to be arrested for homicide. The same pattern holds for assault, sexual assault, robbery, burglary, theft and arson,” Cohen added. “And they’re half as likely to be arrested for drug offenses,” he said. “The facts show that most of the people that you have stopped and tried to deport have not committed any of those crimes,” he said. “In fact, they’ve committed no crimes at all.”Coleman said he disagreed with nearly everything Cohen said during the hearing. “It’s very concerning, it’s very disruptive for me,” he said. “I disagree wholeheartedly with pretty much everything he said. “People that sit there and believe in open borders are the very people that make sure that their doors are double locked and make sure that their gun rights are on par.”Like many who support the Trump administration’s deportation efforts, he said the migrant crime statistics mean very little to victims’ families. “To that family, it’s huge, but to the person it doesn’t happen to, it’s a small number,” he said. Fox News Digital has reached out to Cohen’s office.

The US Leads The World In The Weight-Loss Injection Boom
The US Leads The World In The Weight-Loss Injection Boom
Novo Nordisk’s obesity-drug franchise has surged at a remarkable pace. In just four years, revenue from its weight-management treatments ballooned roughly tenfold – from about $1.3 billion in 2021 to approximately $12.4 billion in 2025. The growth has been fueled largely by Wegovy, the company’s blockbuster weight-loss drug built around the active ingredient semaglutide and marketed as a once-weekly injection.
Semaglutide itself was originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes and continues to be sold under the brand name Ozempic for that purpose. The primary difference between the two products lies in dosage. As Statista notes, Wegovy is formulated at higher semaglutide levels for weight management, while Ozempic is designed for blood-sugar control in diabetic patients. In practice, however, Ozempic has frequently been prescribed off-label for weight loss – a practice that is restricted or prohibited in several European Union countries.
Regardless of branding, the United States has emerged as Novo Nordisk’s most important market. According to the company’s 2025 annual report, the U.S. accounts for the overwhelming share of sales for both Ozempic and Wegovy. For drugs marketed specifically for weight loss, more than 60% of global revenue comes from the American market – a reflection of both the country’s large pharmaceutical sector and its high obesity rates, which have helped make the U.S. the epicenter of the global GLP-1 boom.

Dem lawmaker’s illegal alien SOTU guest part of records dispute involving police reports: report
Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., invited an illegal immigrant guest to this year’s State of the Union address who’s referenced in two police reports that Massachusetts authorities have declined to release, citing exemptions involving “sexual assault and juveniles,” according to a report.The Boston Herald reported that the Milford Police Department (MPD) denied a public records request for two 2021 reports that allegedly reference Marcelo Gomes da Silva, whom Moulton invited to attend President Donald Trump’s speech on Feb. 24.According to the Herald, the newspaper sought reports dated June 30, 2021, and Sept. 15, 2021. MPD Deputy Chief John Sanchioni denied the request, writing, “The records you are requesting are not public records in accordance with M.G.L. c. 4 s. 7 cl. 26 (A).”He also wrote that one report “involves a sexual assault and juveniles” and that the other “involves juveniles,” citing Massachusetts public records law.MASSACHUSETTS TOWN FACES LAWSUIT FOR ALLOWING CRIMINAL IMMIGRANT, SEX OFFENDER TO RENEW BUSINESS LICENSESanchioni did not elaborate on the nature of the reports and did not indicate that Gomes da Silva had been charged with any crime. The Herald reported that Gomes da Silva was identified as a “person of interest” in the records it sought.Fox News Digital has reached out to Sanchioni and Moulton’s office for comment on the matter.Gomes da Silva, 19, has denied any wrongdoing and said he was unaware of the reports until contacted by the media.TRUMP SHAMES DEMOCRATS IN VIRAL STATE OF THE UNION CHALLENGE ON MIGRANT CRIME: ‘FIRST DUTY’”I want to be clear: I have never assaulted anyone. I have never been contacted by the police about any accusations of assault,” Gomes da Silva told the Herald through his lawyer. “I only learned about these reports that allegedly include my name in them through the media. I have never seen these alleged reports. My attorney has since requested these alleged reports and was denied.”A spokesperson for Moulton also reportedly told the Herald that, according to their review, Gomes da Silva has never been charged with a crime.Gomes da Silva drew national attention earlier this year after Moulton invited him to attend Trump’s State of the Union address as his guest.BOSTON POLICE IGNORED 100% OF ICE DETAINER REQUESTS IN 2025, CITING SANCTUARY LAWImmigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents detained Gomes da Silva in May 2025, while he was driving his father’s car. Agents were reportedly seeking his father at the time.Gomes da Silva’s student visa had lapsed, and then-Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News at the time that the “facts [of his case] haven’t changed.””[He] is still an illegal alien and subject to removal proceedings. The Trump administration is committed to restoring the rule of law and common sense to our immigration system and will continue to fight for the arrest, detention and removal of aliens who have no right to be in this country,” McLaughlin said.MIGRANT CRIMES AGAINST CHILDREN PILE UP IN BOSTON AREA AS MAYOR SLAMS BONDI OVER ‘SANCTUARY’ WARNINGThe Department of Homeland Security (DHS) also criticized Gomes da Silva’s invitation to the State of the Union.”[Gomes da Silva] is an illegal alien who has no right to be in our nation. We are committed to enforcing the law and fighting for the arrest, detention, and removal of aliens like him,” DHS posted on X.Moulton’s office pushed back at the time, saying, “Marcelo has been in the U.S. since he was 6 years old. Zero criminal record. You’re not making anyone safer by targeting him. You’re just proving how far you’ll go to terrorize young people trying to build a future in this country.”‘SQUAD’ MEMBER CLAIMS STATE OF THE UNION GUEST WAS ARRESTEDWhen Moulton announced he was inviting Gomes da Silva as his guest, he said he was doing so because his story “captures what’s broken in our immigration system right now.””The outpouring of support that Marcelo received following his detainment wasn’t an accident. It happened because people know the kind of person that Marcelo is,” Moulton continued. “He is exactly the kind of young person America should be investing in, not locking up. If we want to call ourselves a nation of opportunity, we should start by uplifting young people like Marcelo.”Gomes da Silva also responded at the time, saying the invitation to attend the State of the Union was “deeply meaningful.””I’m proud to represent the strength, faith, and hard work of my community,” he said. “Thank you to Seth for this invite.”The Boston Herald reported that it is appealing the police department’s denial of its records request, arguing that Gomes da Silva’s background has become part of a broader public debate over immigration enforcement following his appearance at the State of the Union.
‘Mr. Gold’ Warns Of ‘System Reset’ As Silver Lights Fuse Of Derivatives Time-Bomb
‘Mr. Gold’ Warns Of ‘System Reset’ As Silver Lights Fuse Of Derivatives Time-Bomb
Authored by Greg Hunter via usawatchdog.com,
Financial writer and precious metals expert Bill Holter (aka Mr. Gold) predicted that by March, silver would likely suffer a failure to deliver physical metal at COMEX. In other words, demand for physical silver will swamp the existing supply. The math is scary and simple, and Holter breaks it down, “The registered inventory at COMEX in silver is 86 million ounces. On the second day of March, there are already 52 million ounces of silver standing for delivery. That leaves 30 million to 35 million ounces unspoken for. . .. This looks dicey. If they have 52 million ounces standing for delivery now, where is it going to be at the end of the month? If silver fails to deliver, then what you are going to have in the gold market is buyers stepping up that normally would not even buy and ask for delivery. . .. The bottom line is if silver fails to deliver, gold will fail to deliver in 24 hours. Once that happens, then confidence breaks. . .. You are looking at two quadrillion dollars in derivatives in a global economy with $350 trillion in debt with an underlying $100 trillion annual GDP. The math does not work. I think silver, and I have said this for many years, silver will be the spark or the fuse that lights off gold, which then lights off the derivatives time bomb. Warren Buffett calls derivatives weapons of mass financial destruction.”
Mr. Gold thinks, “When the system resets, governments will start a money print fest that will touch off global hyperinflation. . .. The pure math of debt outstanding is that it cannot be repaid in current terms. It will be hyperinflation of the things we need and hyper-deflation of the things we already have. . .. How is somebody going to buy your house if the capital is not there? If the capital is not there, then the price is going to have to come down. . .. It is highly likely that silver will kick off the demise of the financial system.”
Mr. Gold thinks this kind of global debt will go bad fast. Holter warns, “When this thing cascades and collapses, you are either in place, or you are out of place. If you are out of place, you will not be able to repair your mistake. It will be a lifetime mistake to have not gotten ready. Let me just say there is a difference in being early and being wrong. In 2000 to 2005, if you were buying gold or you were buying silver, you were an idiot, a complete idiot, and people thought you walked around with a tin foil hat on. . .. Now, we are at the point where the best place to have invested your money since January 2000 would be in gold or silver. When Noah was running around building his ark, he looked wrong. He was not wrong–he was just early.”

Indiana teacher sparks fury after telling 5th-grade students they’re ‘acting like monkeys in a zoo’
An Indiana middle school teacher sparked fury when he allegedly told his students that they were “acting like monkeys in a zoo.” The educator, who teaches fifth grade at the Merrillville Intermediate School, made the remark during class on Feb. 24, which forced his students to go straight to the principal while incensed parents brought…
Parents, not bureaucrats, raise America’s children and the Supreme Court agrees
The United States Supreme Court (SCOTUS) issued a landmark ruling that should strike fear into woke school boards across America. In Mirabelli v. Bonta, the Court held that a California law preventing schools from disclosing to parents their child’s claimed “gender identity” at school violated parents’ free exercise rights under the Constitution’s First Amendment and their substantive due process rights under the Fourteenth Amendment.The Supreme Court determined that California’s policy of socially transitioning children to a different gender at school without parental consent likely violates the free exercise rights of those who have “sincere religious beliefs about sex and gender, and feel a religious obligation to raise their children in accordance with those beliefs.” The Court went on to note that this “unconsented facilitation of a child’s gender transition is greater than the indoctrination of LGBTQ story books” that the Court addressed last summer in Mahmoud v. Taylor. The Court similarly found in Mahmoud that Montgomery County Public Schools violated the rights of objecting parents. That school district paid out $1.5 million to settle the case.SCOTUS also made clear that California’s policy requiring schools to keep a student’s “gender identity” secret from parents likely violated their well-established “rights to direct the upbringing and education of their children” and that the denial of these rights “constitutes irreparable harm.” FEDERAL JUDGE STRIKES DOWN ‘GENDER SECRECY’ POLICIES IN CALIFORNIA PUBLIC SCHOOLSThe importance of this decision for parents cannot be overstated. Schools across America must now request parental consent before facilitating a child’s social transition to a different sex. In other words, if a student wants to be addressed at school by pronouns of the opposite sex or use the bathroom or locker room of the opposite sex, the school must get parental consent. Schools can no longer hide or abet the facilitation of a student’s gender transition from parents and pretend it is lawful.Anyone who has been paying attention to what has been going on in America’s public schools over the last five years knows that California is not the only place where K-12 school districts have been actively hiding a student’s social transition from parents. For example, in Virginia, Loudoun County Public Schools’ Regulation 8040 states that “[a] student’s gender identity or transgender status should not be shared without the student’s consent.” The district’s teacher training documents state that “privacy and confidentiality are critical for transgender students who have family that do not support or affirm their gender identity,” and that when students “do not want their parents to know about their gender identity [] schools should address this on a case-by-case basis.” Applying the Supreme Court’s holding in Mirabelli to those policies leads to only one conclusion — they are blatantly unconstitutional. School boards that continue to maintain these policies will do so at their own peril, which arguably could include school board members and other officials being sued in their individual capacity and for punitive damages. And to be clear, the risk of litigation is not limited to parents whose children have been socially transitioned at school. Rather, as the Court made clear, “parents who object to the challenged policies or seek religious exemptions” have standing to sue “because they are objects of the challenged policy.” That means that any parent whose school district has a policy like Loudoun’s can sue, either individually or as part of a class action, for deprivation of their free exercise and substantive due process rights.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONThe Mirabelli decision provides robust rights for parents to demand that schools seek parental consent before their own child is referred to by opposite-sex pronouns, a different name, or uses a bathroom or locker room of the opposite sex. And, it doesn’t require a huge leap to argue that parents’ free exercise and substantive due process rights to direct the upbringing and education of their children can also be violated when someone else’s child begins using locker rooms or common restrooms of the opposite sex.Consider a boy who is allowed to use a girls’ locker room as part of his social transition at school. Parents of the girls using that locker room may very well have religious, philosophical, or safety objections to their daughters changing with members of the opposite sex. Unless the school informs parents that their daughters will be exposed to a male student in their locker room before it happens, the girls’ parents are denied the ability to take action they deem necessary to direct the upbringing and education of their children. That is exactly what happens in Loudoun County.Unfortunately, even with the United States Supreme Court’s clear ruling, some of America’s woke school boards and administrators will likely continue violating the Constitution. They need to be hauled into court and forced to stop and then pay serious money for their intransigence. SCOTUS’s ruling re-affirms what the Constitution states and legal precedent has affirmed: parents have a Constitutional right to parent their children. Parents have the legal authority and power to do exactly this — and they should use it.
KEN CUCCINELLI: Biden opened our border to Iranian terrorism threats
In the tense days following the U.S. drone strike that killed Iranian Gen. Qasem Soleimani on Jan. 3, 2020, Iran responded with missile barrages on American bases in Iraq, injuring scores of people but deliberately avoiding fatalities. Tehran promised “harsh retaliation,” but no attacks struck U.S. soil. The reason wasn’t deterrence alone or diplomatic restraint but something simpler: Iran lacked operational assets inside the United States.At the time, the regime had only scattered sympathizers, not embedded networks capable of executing homeland strikes. U.S. intelligence assessments after the strike highlighted threats abroad but noted no credible, specific domestic dangers because Iran’s reach stopped short of American borders.Secure frontiers and rigorous vetting under the Trump administration ensured that potential operatives couldn’t infiltrate U.S. defenses easily. Encounters with Iranians at the U.S. southern border averaged less than 20 annually from 2000 to 2019. The homeland remained insulated from the threat of terrorism from Iran.Now, in March 2026, as U.S. and Israeli forces destroy Iran’s nuclear sites and tyrannical leadership in Operation Epic Fury — killing Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and sparking regional responses — the calculus has shifted perilously. Iran has fired missiles on U.S. outposts in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and beyond.BEYOND THE IRAN DEAL: WHY TRUMP’S REFUSAL TO ‘KICK THE CAN’ JUST SAVED GENERATIONSBut the gravest risk simmers within the United States: potential activation of sleeper cells or lone actors on American soil. This vulnerability stems directly from four years of open-borders policies under President Joe Biden, who flung doors wide open to unchecked immigration, swelling Iran’s pool of sympathizers in the United States and possibly embedding assets at the regime’s behest.US ON HIGH ALERT FOR IRANIAN SLEEPER CELLS, PROXIESAfter the Soleimani strike, Iran’s plots against the U.S. homeland were aspirational at best. The regime planned assassinations of U.S. officials, including President Donald Trump and former National Security Advisor John Bolton, as revenge for the general’s death. Yet these fizzled under vigilant counterterrorism efforts and gained no operational foothold in the United States.Department of Homeland Security (DHS) bulletins warned of Iran’s intentions to use proxies such as Hezbollah, but emphasized its lack of immediate capability to carry out domestic attacks. Borders acted as a bulwark; Trump’s “maximum pressure” sanctions and law-based immigration enforcement choked infiltration routes. Iranian-backed networks lurked in South America’s tri-border area, but U.S. enforcement cut off their northward paths.Biden’s reversal of these policies invited chaos. Starting on Inauguration Day, he dismantled the border wall, axed the very successful “Remain in Mexico” policy, and allowed catch-and-release numbers to balloon. Over 10 million encounters with illegal immigrants followed, including surges from terrorism-prone nations. Apprehensions of Iranians skyrocketed: Border Patrol arrested 1,504 Iranian nationals from fiscal year 2021 to 2024—a twentyfivefold leap from the two prior decades.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONAlarmingly, 729 of them were released into the United States, often after scant vetting amid overwhelmed systems. This wasn’t mere oversight; policies such as expanded asylum loopholes and deportation reluctance effectively welcomed risks. In June 2025, ICE rounded up 11 Iranians illegally present in the country, including a former army sniper, a Revolutionary Guard member, and a Hezbollah affiliate — all of whom had slipped in during Biden’s tenure. Intelligence flagged 35 more Iranians plotting cartel-aided crossings that same month.These entrants expanded Iran’s base of sympathizers and potentially provided support for assets of the Iranian regime. Border Czar Tom Homan decried the fueling of “sleeper cells,” a sentiment echoed in DHS alerts about Iran’s use of proxies amid escalating conflicts. Biden’s approach to immigration didn’t just strain resources; it extended an invitation to adversaries. As one national security expert put it, U.S. borders became a “sieve” through which global threats could pass. Hezbollah’s long-standing Latin American hubs funneled operatives north, exploiting the lax border enforcement.Today, with Khamenei dead and Iran’s regime cornered, desperation mounts. Trump warns of Tehran’s nuclear brinkmanship. Experts foresee retaliation against the U.S. homeland through infiltrated cells — cells likely planted during the Biden administration. Texas Governor Greg Abbott urges vigilance against “sleeper cells or lone wolves,” and former Deputy Director of the FBI Andrew McCabe calls for elevated alerts over infiltration. A recent shooting in Austin, Texas, tied to an Iran-linked suspect heightens fears of terrorist attacks at home.The explosion of risk is profound. In 2020, Iran’s dearth of assets spared the homeland. Now, Biden’s immigration policies have stocked a tinderbox of sympathizers and unknowns, ready for conflagration. Averting – or at least minimizing – disaster requires sealing the borders, reviving stringent vetting and expelling threats. These are all steps the Trump administration has pursued aggressively, but we must commit to maintain such a course for years to come and never let our country inflict such risks upon itself ever again.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE BY KEN CUCCINELLI

Stop The War… Because ‘Global Warming’!!!
Via notalotofpeopleknowthat blog,
Apparently our climate propagandists are not bothered about the Mad Mullahs!
War makes climate change worse in many ways, and vice versa.
The US-Israel attacks on Iran that began over the weekend have killed hundreds of civilians and sent oil prices soaring, but this war also promises to unleash massive amounts of planet-warming gases at a time when civilization is already hurtling toward irreversible climate breakdown.
Not every story about the Iran war needs to make the climate connection, but climate change is essential context if the public and policymakers are to understand the full dimensions of this conflict.
Join Covering Climate Now and a panel of experts for a discussion about the geopolitical and climate implications of the war on Iran, which has one of the world’s largest oil reserves.
Their only concern is that a war might put a bit more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere!
They would no doubt be much happier with a nuclear winter!
At least it will lower global warming.
