There are so many stories making up the mosaic of national/international news that we can’t cover them all every week. The biggest stories now seem to be: the Trump presidency, immigration (migrants and illegals), wars, weaponization of government (the deep state) against Trump and conservatives, our nation’s debt, massive inflation, climate change controversy and related expenses of government, industry attempting to address these issues, the Chinese threat, national security, abortion, Elon Musk’s DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency), taxpayer cuts, and Ukraine peace. Here are just a few:

Elon Musk Drops Truth Bomb on Washington’s Corrupt Money Machine: “This Is Really Going To Get Me Assassinated”
Elon Musk just dropped a bombshell on the Joe Rogan Experience, confirming what many Americans have long suspected—Washington, D.C. is a cesspool of corruption, and the Democrats are the primary beneficiaries.
“I think maybe three-quarters of the graft is Democratic. I think there’s maybe 20–25% that’s Republican,” Musk revealed, exposing how the system is rigged for political elites. “Most of the graft is going to the Democrats, but they throw some bones to the Republicans too, so then they’re in on it.”
In a shocking but unsurprising exchange, Musk and Rogan discussed the absurd wealth accumulation of members of Congress, who are somehow able to transform their modest $170,000-a-year salaries into multimillion-dollar fortunes. Musk didn’t hold back, stating, “It’s literally impossible” for these politicians to legally amass such wealth.

New York FBI Field Office Head Forced Out Days After His Office Was Revealed To Have Been Hiding Thousands Of Epstein Documents
There has been a significant shake-up within the FBI as one of its top officials has been forced out. NBC News reported Monday that James Dennehy, the head of the FBI’s New York office, threw in the towel just days after his office was revealed to have been hiding thousands of Epstein documents.
“Late Friday, I was informed that I needed to put my retirement papers in today, which I just did,” Dennehy wrote in an email obtained by NBC. “I was not given a reason for this decision.” Two sources confirmed to NBC that Dennehy was given the choice between getting fired or resigning. He chose the latter.

First Lady Melania Trump Holds Roundtable On Deepfakes, Revenge Porn
Melania Trump leads a roundtable discussion on the use of deepfake technology in the production of revenge porn on Monday, March 3. The First Lady is pushing for passage of the “Tools to Address Known Exploitation by Immobilizing Technological Deepfakes on Websites and Networks Act” or “Take It Down Act.”
The bill would criminalize creating AI-generated images or videos of people engaging in sexual acts. Sen. Ted Cruz, who introduced the bill, said in a press release: In recent years, we’ve witnessed a stunning increase in exploitative sexual material online, largely due to bad actors taking advantage of newer technologies like generative artificial intelligence. Many women and girls are forever harmed by these crimes, having to live with being victimized again and again.

Trump Estimates TSMC’s $100 Billion Investment Will Create 20,000+ Jobs
President Donald Trump predicted Monday that Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.’s (TSMC) $100 billion investment in the United States would create 20,000-25,000 jobs. Trump gave the estimate while fielding questions at a press conference where he announced the investment alongside TSMC Chief Executive C.C. Wei, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, and AI and Crypto Czar David Sacks.
This is just the latest in a string of major investments into the United States that Trump has secured since taking office. In late February, Apple announced its plan to invest half a trillion dollars in the U.S. over the next four years. On his second day in office, Trump revealed another $500 billion investment, standing alongside Oracle Board Chair and CTO Larry Ellison, SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son, and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman at the White House. The executives, through a joint endeavor called Stargate, are investing 500 billion in U.S. AI infrastructure.

Bill To Keep Men Out Of Women’s Sports Fails In Senate
No Senate Democrat voted in favor of the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act to break a filibuster. Republicans needed 60 votes but only received 51. On the same day, in Minnesota, House lawmakers there voted against the Preserving Girls’ Sports Act. Each Democratic lawmaker in the state voted against the legislation. Democratic Minnesota state Rep. Liish Kozlowski likened the Preserving Girls’ Sports Act to “state-sanctioned bullying and genocide” during a debate about the legislation Monday, according to OutKick.

Unhinged Democrat Al Green Speaks After Getting Kicked Out Of Chamber — Wants To Impeach Trump Again!
Chaos erupted during President Donald Trump’s congressional address on Tuesday night as unhinged Representative Al Green (D-TX) threw a tantrum, disrupting a speech meant to unify the nation and highlight the administration’s bold vision. The disgraceful outburst forced Speaker Mike Johnson to intervene, ordering the Sergeant-at-Arms to kick Green out of the chamber the disgrace he’s proven himself to be. But that wasn’t the end of Green’s unhinged antics — he’s now doubled down, vowing to push yet another baseless impeachment against Trump.

Supreme Court Orders Trump Administration To Immediately Unfreeze Foreign Aid Payments With Barrett And Roberts Siding With The Majority
The highest Court in the land caved to the radical left on USAID disbursements and usurped President Trump’s constitutional executive authority. On Wednesday morning, the Supreme Court ruled that the Trump Administration must immediately release $1.9 billion in foreign aid payments. The Hill notes that this decision maintains a district court judge’s order that the administration must honor foreign aid agreements that existed before Trump took office.
The court ruling was 5-4, with all three liberal justices siding with the non-profit groups suing to have their funds restored. ‘Conservative’ Justices John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett voted with the majority for reasons unknown. Justice Alito issued a furious dissent in response to this disgraceful ruling: “Does a single district-court judge who likely lacks jurisdiction have the unchecked power to compel the Government of the United States to pay out (and probably lose forever) 2 billion taxpayer dollars?” he wrote. “The answer to that question should be an emphatic ‘No,’ but a majority of this Court apparently thinks otherwise. I am stunned.”

DNC Hires New Top Exec With Long History Of Pushing Racial Grievances, Leftist Ideology
As calls continue to grow for the Democratic Party to moderate following a disappointing performance in the November election, the Democratic National Committee announced the hiring of an executive director with a history of promoting far-left ideologies. The DNC announced the hiring of Roger Lau as executive director in a press release highlighting his long career, which includes working on campaigns for Sen. Elizabeth Warren. A Fox News Digital review found multiple instances of Lau associating with progressive causes, including signing onto a letter in 2020 that claimed the United States is built on “racism” and “genocide.”

Kremlin Agrees With Rubio’s View Ukraine Is A US-Russian Proxy War
Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s view the Ukraine conflict is a proxy war between the United States and Russia is in line with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s own assessment, the Kremlin said Thursday. “It’s been very clear from the beginning that [President Donald Trump] views this as a protracted, stalemated conflict,” Rubio said in a televised interview Wednesday. “And frankly, it’s a proxy war between nuclear powers – the United States, helping Ukraine, and Russia – and it needs to come to an end.”
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Moscow agreed with Rubio’s assessment and noted that Russia has said many times that the war is a conflict between Russia and the U.S.-led collective West.

Noem Says ICE Leakers Have Been Identified And Are Facing Prosecution
Wednesday on FNC’s “Hannity,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem revealed those within the Department of Homeland Security who were leaking Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) movements to potential illegal aliens facing possible deportation procedures had been identified and would be prosecuted.
“I have a couple of them identified that are within DHS,” Noem replied. “And when I’m able to reveal that with the evidence, I’m going to prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law, and I’m going to make an example out of them. So, these leakers, boy, they better watch out because we are putting just as equal effort into identifying them as we are these criminals that are out there raping and murdering people. As far as I’m concerned, these leakers are more dangerous because it’s a complete disregard for our law enforcement officers that are out there.”

Ukraine’s Missile Strikes Lose Efficiency After US Stopped Sharing Intel
When Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky lit himself on fire in the Oval Office, US President Donald J. Trump warned him sternly: ‘your problems begin now’. And indeed, shortly after that, the US stopped all military aid to Kiev, and right after that, stopped sharing military intel – and forbade the NATO Allies from sharing any US intel with the Ukrainians, too.
Without the information gathered by US satellites, spy planes, surveillance drones and intel assets, Ukraine can only hit static, ‘low hanging-fruit’ targets. Trump’s ban on sharing US intelligence with Kiev via the ‘Releasable to Ukraine’ program is dealing a serious blow to Zelensky’s war effort.

Sen. Lindsey Graham: Congress Should Pass A ‘Rescission’ Package To Enact DOGE Spending Cuts
President Trump has started the process of looking at how taxpayer dollars are being spent in Washington. This has been talked about and talked about by conservatives, but President Trump and his team are actually doing it. I couldn’t be more pleased that his administration is prioritizing this because it is long overdue. Like any major reform effort, there will be missteps that need to be corrected. At a recent meeting between Senate Republicans and Elon Musk, we talked about collaborating better so that we can make sure we hit the target. As President Trump rightly said on Thursday, by using a “scalpel rather than the hatchet,” we will achieve success for the American people.
However, it is long past time for us to evaluate how Americans’ tax dollars are being spent and what they are being spent on. We have a massive national debt and run at least a trillion dollars of deficits every year. DOGE’s work product is stunning, and I applaud their efforts. They are finding outrageous examples of wasteful spending that should offend Democrats, Republicans, Independents and Libertarians.

Nearly All Of Biden’s Official Signatures Were Autopens, So Who Was Really Running The Country?
Joe Biden’s cognitive decline was obvious to anyone paying attention. Biden would shake hands with people wo weren’t there. Biden would walk towards doors that weren’t there, at other times staff would walk him around like a dog. When interviewed by his own Department of Justice, Biden was so confused they recommended not prosecuting him for mishandling classified documents.
Now, the intrepid investigators at the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight project, led by longtime investigator Mike Howell, has compared the Biden signatures on nearly every document from his administration. And they suggest that it’s possible Biden didn’t even know what was being signed on his behalf. The rate of identical signatures indicates that the entire Presidency operated with the use of a staffer applying either the automatic pen to a document, or by using a saved image on a computer affixing Biden’s consent to something he may have been unable or unwilling to consent to.
Who was actually running the American government from 2021-2025? Missouri Attorney General Bailey is demanding documents to know if Biden was competent enough to make decisions during his administration. Former First Lady Jill Biden is admitting they purposefully covered-up Biden’s mental decline and gaslit the public about it.

White House Unleashed On ‘Rogue Bureaucrats” After Agency Head Refuses DOGE Entry To Headquarters
The White House is calling out “rogue bureaucrats” at a small federal agency for attempting to bar members of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from entering their headquarters this week. Elon Musk’s DOGE team members and acting head of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) Peter Marocco, in accordance with President Donald Trump’s executive order to downsize the federal government, sought to enter the U.S. African Development Foundation (USADF) building on Wednesday, but were denied entry after reportedly being intentionally locked out by members of the staff.
The cost-cutting team returned to USADF the next day with U.S. marshals after the Department of Justice (DOJ) determined that they had a right to enter the building, a White House official told Fox News Digital, prompting a lawsuit from USADF President Ward Brehm, who asked a district court to bar the administration from removing him from his position. Brehm, who admitted to directing employees to deny DOGE entry, is attempting to block DOGE from entering the USADF offices, but the White House responded that “entitled, rogue bureaucrats have no authority to defy executive orders by the President of the United States or physically bar his representatives from entering the agencies they run.”

Tom Homan On Sanctuary Cities: I’m Going And ‘Bringing Hell With Me’
Border czar Tom Homan is going to sanctuary cities such as Boston and “bringing hell with me,” he said during an appearance on Breitbart News Saturday. Host and Breitbart News Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle asked about Homan’s own hometown of Boston and Mayor Michelle Wu’s resistance to border enforcement and insistence on remaining a sanctuary city.
“I meant it. I said it,” he continued, noting that everyone should agree with that statement because he made it “right after I talked about nine child sex predators that ICE took off the streets of Massachusetts in a short timeframe.” The mayor, he continued, has “obviously lost her mind” and “should agree, there’s no sanctuary for child rapists.” He asked why a child rapist should be released, noting they were not able to contact the child rapist for almost two years and that their detainer was ignored.
“Someone who sexually assaulted a child is the worst of the worst of the worst. So yeah, I’m going to Boston. I’m bringing hell with me,” Homan said, adding that it is not just Boston, either. “I’m bringing hell to every illegal alien who commits a serious offense in this country, especially those who attack our most innocent, our children,” Homan added.

GOP Senators Demand Information About COVID-19 Cash Planned Parenthood Received
Two Republican senators are demanding information from the Small Business Administration (SBA) about how much COVID-19 aid Planned Parenthood chapters received. Sens. Joni Ernst (R-IA) and Rand Paul (R-KY) sent a letter on Friday to SBA administrator Kelly Loeffler about the abortion giant receiving funds from the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), which was created during the pandemic to assist businesses suffering under government-imposed lockdowns, the Daily Signal first reported.
“Not a single tax dollar should fund abortions,” Ernst told the outlet. “The Paycheck Protection Program was designed to help Americans struggling during the pandemic, not to go to ineligible recipients fueling abortion-on-demand.” “The Biden administration obstructed our investigation of potentially illegal applications of PPP loans to Planned Parenthood entities, and we are confident the Trump administration will provide the transparency the American people deserve,” Paul, a medical doctor, told the outlet.

‘Biden Refrigerators’: Stacey Abrams-linked Group Got $2 Billion In ‘Gold Bars’ Scheme To Greenwash Home Appliances
Ex-Georgia House Rep. Stacey Abrams said this week that she received $2 billion from Former President Joe Biden’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to greenwash home appliances in what some have likened to an alleged Democratic “vote buying” scheme.
EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin recently revealed that the Biden-era EPA passed through $20 billion in “gold bars,” or grants, to leftist groups. The Abrams-linked Power Forward Communities received $2 billion as part of these grants, a sum amounting to “20 million times the organization’s reported revenue,” according to the EPA.
“Stacey Abrams’ Power Forward Communities received $2 BILLION to be a pass through entity for Biden EPA’s $20 billion ‘gold bar’ scheme,” Zeldin wrote in an X post in mid-February. “They reported just $100 in total revenue after their founding in late 2023.”
Steve Milloy, who served on President Donald Trump’s first-term EPA transition team, described the Abrams-linked “grift” as a “vote buying” ploy akin to the Obama-era “Obama phones.”

L.A. Times: Mayor Karen Bass Is Deleting Her Text Messages
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is deleting her text messages, thus defeating efforts by media organizations to obtain them as government communications subject to public records requests, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The Times reported that it had been unable to obtain Bass’s text messages concerning her overseas trip to Ghana, during which the L.A. fires broke out, because they were automatically deleted and the city had not retained them. The Times suggests that Bass is violating both state law and the city’s own administrative code.

U.S. Secret Service Shoots Armed Man Near White House After Confrontation
An adult male brandishing a firearm was shot by U.S. Secret Service officers near the White House in Washington, DC, shortly after midnight on Sunday. The agency said the encounter happened near the intersection of 17th and F Streets NW. NPR reports local police had earlier reported a “suicidal individual” possibly traveling to D.C. from Indiana, the agency added. Secret Service personnel located the individual’s vehicle and spotted a person on foot who matched the description.
President Donald Trump was at his home in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, at the time of the shooting, which occurred just one block away from the White House.
