Windows PC users will finally have their dreams come true with the smallest of tweaks by Microsoft.

On Friday, a Windows Insider blog said the company was ready to start rolling out an update that would change a feature that has aggravated users for more than 25 years.

‘The changes we’re rolling out today are focused on giving Windows users more control over their PC experience.’

The Windows blogger said she was excited to share the new update, which came after reading “over 7,621 direct verbatims” over the last few months.

Change is coming to Windows’ auto-update feature, a plague that has forced itself on users for more than a quarter of a century.

The updates started as optional when they were available to users of Windows ’98. However, PC users were robbed of that freedom when updates became automatic with shipments of Windows 2000, which embedded the feature in its software.

All of that is about to scale back.

“Across this feedback there are two key themes that persistently pop out: disruption caused by untimely updates and not enough control over when updates happen,” wrote Windows blogger Aria Hanson. “The changes we’re rolling out today are focused on giving Windows users more control over their PC experience, while keeping devices secure by design and by default.”

Users should be fairly happy with the rollout, and the changes were readily available at the time of this writing.

The update consists of four main tweaks, starting with the ability to skip updates immediately during the “out of box experience.”

This means that when setting up a new computer or buying a new version of Windows, users can avoid lengthy updates that drastically delay the time it takes to get up and running.

Next is the ability to pause updates for as long as needed. This comes in 35-day increments for some reason, but Microsoft says it can be done indefinitely.

“This means you can now re-pause for up to 35 days at a time, with no limits on how many times you can reset the pause end date,” the company wrote.

Return tested this on a PC running Windows 11 and was able to pause updates for “5 Weeks,” or 35 days.

More relief has also come in terms of shutting down or restarting Windows.

“Restarting or shutting down your PC should always be simple, predictable, and on your terms — even with updates waiting to be installed,” Windows said; and everyone agrees.

Windows can now shut down or restart without updating. Previously, this was mandatory. So if a computer crashed or froze and needed to reboot, that update was happening whether the user liked it or not.

Lastly, Microsoft promised more insights on updates and increased transparency on what drivers do.

“Often, driver updates would have similar, if not identical, titles. To help provide you with more insights, we have added the device class to the driver title,” the blog stated.

In the end, the company is promising fewer disruptions, but it will still push a “monthly quality update” to reduce “update experience to a single monthly restart.”

One of the long-standing institutions of right-wing politics has been taken down. But it is not done fighting.

After 27 years, Infowars’ website has officially been taken offline after a protracted legal fight with satire website the Onion.

‘We are committed, and if God stands with us, who can stand against us?!’

Alex Jones, the face of Infowars for nearly 30 years, did a final stream on Thursday night before the final shutdown of operations became official.

Although Jones said that the lights were being shut off at midnight on Thursday and the website would go dark, the fight is far from over.

He directed his audience to his new network, Alex Jones Live. He also suggested that the legal fight was just getting started, saying that he had “royal flushes” in the ongoing legal fight, including whistleblowers.

Nearing the end of his final sign-off, Jones gave a toast: “We commit ourselves to God in this holy fight. We are committed, and if God stands with us, who can stand against us?!”

“Thank you for everything you built with InfoWars, Mr. Jones. We know you won’t stop fighting for the Truth,” the John Birch Society said on X.

“Alex Jones was forced to shut down Infowars tonight. Never forget that free speech is being violated with Trump in office. This country has become a shell of what it used to be,” commentator Morgan Ariel said.

The Onion has attempted to acquire the Infowars domain for years but has hit many snags that have delayed the acquisition.

A father running for office in Oklahoma has been found dead.

On Thursday, the body of Barry Christian, 54, was found inside his vehicle at a wildlife refuge near Erick, a small city in Western Oklahoma, just a few miles east of the Texas panhandle.

‘We are still not sure of everything that happened.’

Christian was reported missing on Wednesday after he failed to appear for a scheduled meeting. He was last seen on Tuesday in Sayre, Oklahoma, about 15 miles from Erick.

The Oklahoma Bureau of Investigation confirmed that Christian was running for the state Senate, and it seems his campaign was active at the time of his death. His Facebook account posted an invite to a meet-and-greet at a rattlesnake festival in Mangum on Saturday.

State election records confirmed that on April 2, he filed to run as a Republican for Senate District 38. On his campaign website, Christian portrayed himself as a pro-Trump “conservative” who supported the First and Second Amendments and opposed open borders and abortion.

Christian’s name will still appear on the ballot for the Republican primary race in June. There are two other candidates in the race, though the incumbent, state Sen. Brent Howard (R), is not one of them. Howard announced last year that he would not seek a third term, NonDoc reported.

Like most of the state, the 38th Senate District is overwhelmingly Republican. President Donald Trump carried some counties in Southwest Oklahoma by upwards of 75% in 2024.

While the political race will carry on, the Christian family is shattered by the loss of Barry, according to a statement from daughter Brooklyn:

Please pray for our family and friends. Our world is upside down right now. We are still not sure of everything that happened, so please act with grace and treat my dad’s legacy with dignity. We’re extremely grateful for everyone who assisted in the search efforts, and all of the media outlets that shared his information. I know there will be lots of people devastated by his passing.

A cause of death has not yet been determined, and the OSBI is still actively investigating this case. When reached for comment, the agency directed Blaze News to its social media page.

A person of interest is in custody after two Kentucky bank employees were fatally shot during a robbery Thursday, the Associated Press reported, citing state police.

The individual is “believed to be involved” in the robbery of a U.S. Bank in Berea, the AP said, citing state police. Berea is about 45 minutes south of Lexington.

‘We’re deeply saddened by the tragic event that took the lives of two of our employees at our Berea, Kentucky, branch earlier today.’

A man wearing a gray-white hoodie, gloves, and a mask entered the bank and shot a male employee and a female employee, the outlet said, citing state police.

State police during a news conference late Thursday night identified the victims as 35-year-old Breanna Edwards and 42-year-old Brian Switzer, WLEX-TV reported.

State police announced the apprehension of the person of interest Friday morning.

CBS News said it’s unclear if the suspect fled from the bank with anything. The robbery and shooting happened just after 2 p.m., WLEX said, adding that state police confirmed that members of the public were in the Chestnut Street bank at the time.

State police told WLEX that the search for the suspect took officials throughout central Kentucky.

Law enforcement officers searched for the suspect driving a silver BMW with Alabama plates, WLEX said. State police told the station the vehicle was traveling at a high rate of speed Thursday evening before a chase ended in the area of Johnston Road in Fayette County, after which the suspect reportedly was on foot.

U.S. Bank told the AP it was working closely with law enforcement and is committed to supporting the victims’ families and bank colleagues.

“We’re deeply saddened by the tragic event that took the lives of two of our employees at our Berea, Kentucky, branch earlier today,” the company said in a statement, according to the outlet. “Our hearts go out to the families of the victims, our colleagues, and the entire Berea community.”

Berea is about 36 miles south of Lexington, the AP added.

Katie Wilson, the 43-year-old leftist blogger elected mayor of Seattle last year, apparently finds it amusing that deep-pocketed residents and businesses are fleeing her crime-ridden city.

During a recent event at Seattle University, lecturer Joni Balter raised the matter of downtown Seattle’s apparent inability to “grow job these days,” noting that “the city has lost 25,000 jobs over four years, and the thinking is — the data folks say — that if you extend that out five years, it could be as high as 37,000 jobs.”

‘We still have the very regressive tax system.’

According to a recent report from the the Downtown Seattle Association, the Emerald City’s downtown has seen a 14% decrease in brick-and-mortar retail jobs since 2010 and lost an estimated 13,000 jobs just last year, amounting to the biggest decrease in jobs since the pandemic.

The report noted further that Seattle’s downtown office vacancy remained at a post-pandemic high of 25%; the central business district experienced an office vacancy rate of 32% last year, nearly double the previous high point during the Great Recession in 2009; and the combined taxable value of the 20 highest-valued properties in Seattle’s downtown has declined from over $10 billion in 2021 to roughly $5.1 billion this year.

When asked about her plan to “turn that around,” Wilson — who appeared on stage alongside fellow radical Girmay Zahilay, the newly elected King County executive — attributed Seattle’s exodus of jobs and businesses to a number of factors including potential workers’ apparent inability to afford living in or near the downtown; homelessness and public safety issues; and the “tax environment.”

While apparently interested in tackling the affordability, homelessness, and public safety issues, Wilson signaled that her city’s crushing taxes won’t soon be changed.

Wilson, who co-founded the Transit Riders Union in 2011 and endeavored in years past to “Trump-proof Seattle,” was later asked about the “taxing climate” and whether progressive taxes were an “easy and promising solution.”

After noting that she found it “very exciting” that state Democrats passed a 9.9% tax on annual taxable income exceeding $1 million for individuals or households and recalling her efforts to push similar taxes in Seattle, Wilson said that claims that wealthy residents will flee the state are “super overblown.”

But to those beleaguered residents who have chosen to leave or might do so in the near future, the mayor waved, said, “Bye,” and laughed in concert with fellow travelers in the sparsely populated audience.

“In general, we still have the very regressive tax system, and my office is doing a lot of work to look at what our options are in terms of progressive taxation,” continued Wilson. “We do have more flexibility at the city than the county, in terms of our taxing authority.”

Despite Wilson’s casual dismissal, high taxes in Seattle appear to be chasing jobs to cities like Bellevue.

Jon Scholes, president of the Downtown Seattle Association, suggested that Amazon’s decision to relocate thousands of employees from Seattle to other King County locations was the direct result of Seattle’s overwhelming tax burden, reported the Center Square. Starbucks, which is headquartered in Seattle, also appears to be angling for greener pastures.

Among the taxes the city has implemented is the Social Housing Tax, a 5% levy on employee compensation exceeding $1 million, and the JumpStart Payroll Expense Tax, which the city slapped on companies with employees making more than $150,000 annually.

“What we need is more businesses in Seattle paying taxes,” said Scholes. “That’s how we strengthen the tax base.”

The Worcester Police Department arrested an illegal alien from the Dominican Republic charged with assault and battery on April 4.

Although the City of Worcester, like other municipalities across Massachusetts, is loath to cooperate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the detainer for Bryan Rafael Gomez was reportedly honored, enabling ICE Boston to arrest the Dominican following his release on $500 bail.

‘An activist judge appointed by Joe Biden released this wanted murderer back into American communities.’

ICE revealed at the time that Gomez — who stole into the United States in 2022, was encountered by U.S. Border Patrol near Lukeville, Arizona, and was ultimately released into the homeland by the Biden administration — was a fugitive from justice.

The Coordination of the Courts of Instruction of the National District of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, issued an arrest warrant in Gomez’s name for murder on Jan. 24, 2023, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

While immigration authorities planned to keep the alleged murderer in custody until his removal from the U.S. — which appeared imminent granted an immigration judge issued Gomez a deportation order on April 28 — a judge appointed by former President Joe Biden to the U.S. District Court for the District of Rhode Island in 2024 had other ideas.

Judge Melissa DuBose, a black lesbian who served as a member of the Committee on Racial and Ethnic Fairness in Rhode Island Courts and once described herself as being in a “Marxist Phase,” ordered the foreign fugitive’s release on Tuesday.

DuBose — who prefers the term “court user” to “defendant” — characterized the fugitive’s detention by ICE as “unlawful,” claiming that the legal authority under which ICE held him, which is intended for migrants captured at the border, did not apply to Gomez because he had been arrested by local police, reported Fox News.

The Biden judge, confirmed in 2024 with the support of Republican Sens. Lindsey Graham (S.C.) and Susan Collins (Maine), determined that rather than mandatory detention, Gomez was alternatively entitled to a bond hearing.

ICE, which contended that Gomez was subject to mandatory detention because of the international arrest warrant for homicide in his name, is barred from rearresting the fugitive as a result of Judge DuBose’s order. Consequently, he is once again free to prowl American streets.

“Bryan Rafael Gomez is a criminal illegal alien from the Dominican Republic with an international warrant for homicide,” Homeland Security acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said in a statement. “An activist judge appointed by Joe Biden released this wanted murderer back into American communities. This is yet another example of an activist judge trying to thwart President Trump’s mandate from the American people to remove criminal illegal aliens from our communities.”

“Under President Trump and Secretary Mullin, DHS will continue to fight for the removal of criminal illegal aliens who have no right to be in our country,” added Bis.

President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump welcomed King Charles and Queen Camilla to the White House for a state visit marking the 250th anniversary of America — the same anniversary that marks America’s freedom from having a king.

And while BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales isn’t a fan of the king, it appears that many Americans are.

“One thing I really will never truly understand is America’s fascination with Britain. I don’t get it. I don’t understand it,” Gonzales comments, pointing out that many of those Americans happen to be liberals.

“If one thing is clear in all of their rioting … they say very clearly that they hate kings. Like they are not about kings. So you would think that they would be out there protesting no kings,” she continues.

And not only was the liberal media not going after the president for buddying up with a king, in a segment Gonzales plays on NBC4, they were celebrating it.

“Apparently, the libs love kings again. It’s cool to be a king,” Gonzales laughs.

“That is so interesting how you have all of these libs and all of these local stations who had wall-to-wall coverage of all these No Kings protests, and they were all chanting about how they hated kings,” she continues. “Now all of a sudden, it’s a memento.”

“Isn’t it so interesting how that actually shakes out when you have no morals, no values, no principles. You really believe in nothing except nihilism and chaos and destruction,” she adds, asking again, “Isn’t that interesting?”

Here’s a little fact that will make you feel old: Gmail first launched all the way back on April 1, 2004.

For the last 22 years, you have been stuck with the username you picked back at the start of the Iraq War during the Bush administration. For some, that means you were in grade school when you decided on the account name that would follow you for the rest of your life. Well, you don’t have to hold onto it any more, because Google will finally let you change your Gmail username to something more suitable.

A brief history of Gmail

Eagle-eyed readers may have spotted something odd about Gmail’s birthday in the paragraph above. It launched on the most unserious day of the year — April Fools’ Day. In fact, when Gmail burst onto the internet, users thought it was a joke, partially because it offered one full gigabyte of email storage. Although this seems rather paltry by today’s standards, it was far more than competitors offered at the time, making Gmail an instant hit in lieu of AOL, Yahoo, and Hotmail.

Google promises you won’t break anything by changing your Gmail username.

Gmail was a turning point for Google, marking its first consumer product beyond Google Search since the company’s inception. To put the timeline into perspective, Gmail showed up nearly an entire year before Google Maps debuted, two and a half years before Google acquired YouTube, four and a half years before the Chrome browser, and eight years before Google Drive.

Today, Gmail is still one of Google’s core services and a vital component of the company’s business.

How to change your Gmail username

A lot can change over two decades, and if you have been holding onto an outdated or downright embarrassing Gmail handle, now is the time to finally update it to something that doesn’t make you roll your eyes when you see it.

On iPhone

Open up any Google app you have downloaded on your phone — I recommend either the Google Search app or Google Maps. Tap on your profile picture in the top right corner, followed by “Manage your Google Account.” From here, tap “Personal info,” and then select “Email” from the list of options.

Screenshots by Zach Laidlaw/Google Account on iOS 26

In the next menu, tap on your email address beneath “Google Account email,” and choose to “Change Google Account email.” Then scroll to the bottom, type in your new handle, and tap “Change email.” Make sure the new address is correct before you submit!

Screenshots by Zach Laidlaw/Google Account on iOS 26

On Android

Open the Settings app, tap your name at the top, and tap your name at the top again, followed by “Manage your Google Account.” From here, choose “Personal info,” and then select “Email” from the list of options.

Screenshots by Zach Laidlaw/Google Account on Android 16

In the next menu, tap on your email address below “Google Account email,” and choose to “Change Google Account email.” Then scroll to the bottom, type in your new handle, and tap “Change email” to confirm.

Screenshots by Zach Laidlaw/Google Account on Android 16

On PC

Go to google.com. Click on your profile picture in the top right corner, followed by “Manage your Google Account.” From here, choose “Personal info” on the left, then select “Email” from the list of options. In the next menu, click on your email address beneath “Google Account email,” and choose to “Change Google Account email.” Then scroll to the bottom of the page, type in your new handle, and tap “Change email.” That’s it!

Change at your own risk

Google promises you won’t break anything by changing your Gmail username. You will still receive new emails that are sent to your old address, and any third-party accounts created with your old address will still work as intended. The change won’t affect any of the data saved to your Google account either, including photos, Google Drive files, etc.

That said, there are a couple of stipulations to keep in mind.

You’re allowed to change your Gmail username up to three times over the lifetime of your account, and you will have to wait 12 full months between each change. After this, you will no longer be able to update the username on your Gmail account; you will be stuck with the final version at the end of this period, so make sure it’s a good one!

A police officer was allegedly kidnapped after being dragged into a getaway car during an alleged armed robbery in California, and the bodycam video has been released.

The video showed a vehicle crashing into a FoodMaxx grocery store in Antioch at about 5:15 a.m. on Feb. 20. Three armed robbers enter the store before police arrive about three minutes later.

The officer threatens to shoot DeSouza unless he stops the vehicle, and after he refuses to stop, the officer shoots him.

One of the store employees later told police that one of the men was armed and threatened employees.

As police are yelling commands, the driver of the vehicle crashes into the occupied police cruiser, and police approach the car.

At one point, an officer lunges at the car just as it reverses back into the store, and he falls inside the passenger side with the door nearly shutting behind him.

That’s when the driver flees with the officer inside. The officer was identified as Travis Donaldson.

Bodycam video from inside the vehicle captures the bizarre interaction between officer and the driver.

“Stop the car!” the officer says.

“Get out the car, bro!” the driver yells.

“Stop the car!” the officer repeats.

“Get out!” the driver yells.

“Stop the car!” the officer yells.

Moments later the driver yells, “I’m going to crash this motherf**king car! I ain’t going to jail!”

Police say the driver, later identified as 23-year-old Dominick DeSouza, was driving erratically and ignoring orders from Donaldson. He tells the officer to jump out of the car but does not slow down.

The officer threatens to shoot DeSouza unless he stops the vehicle, and after he refuses to stop, the officer shoots him. DeSouza yells in pain, crashes the car, and then flees on foot.

Police said additional officers arrived at the scene and located DeSouza within 10 minutes of his fleeing from the car. He was found with the gunshot wound to his leg and hiding in bushes.

He was transported to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office charged DeSouza with kidnapping, robbery, assault with a deadly weapon upon a peace officer, two counts of burglary, grand theft, and unlawful driving or taking of a vehicle.

Officer Donaldson suffered minor injuries during the incident.

The nine minutes of footage from the incident can be viewed in its entirety at the Antioch City YouTube channel.

On April 25, President Trump renewed his call to end the Senate filibuster in connection with the SAVE America Act, warning in a post on Truth Social that failure to move the legislation through the upper chamber would be a disastrous political mistake for Republicans.

He is right about the stakes.

The SAVE America Act is the most important election reform bill in a generation. For those concerned about election integrity, the bill addresses a serious weakness in America’s voting system: In numerous states, noncitizens can illegally register to vote with alarming ease, while state officials often lack the tools needed to determine how widespread the problem is.

The current rules make it easy for noncitizens and citizens alike to illegally register to vote.

Federal law already prohibits noncitizens from voting in federal elections. The trouble is that the law contains far too few meaningful safeguards to make sure that rule is actually followed.

Across more than 40 states, voter registration standards are so weak that election officials often have no reliable way to determine whether a person seeking to register is, in fact, an American citizen.

Oregon is a useful example. On the state’s voter registration form, applicants are given three broad options for proving identity. They may provide a state-issued ID such as a driver’s license, the last four digits of a Social Security number, or one item from a lengthy list of other accepted documents.

That system is deeply flawed. In 19 states, Oregon among them, illegal immigrants may obtain a driver’s license or another form of driving authorization. As a result, possession of a driver’s license does not establish citizenship. At most, it might help officials later identify a questionable registration if the state conducts a serious review of its voter rolls.

But an applicant does not even have to rely on a state ID. A person can choose instead to submit the last four digits of a Social Security number.

At first glance, that might appear to be a strong barrier, since illegal immigrants are not lawfully issued Social Security numbers. But that assumption ignores a serious and long-running problem: Many illegal immigrants have obtained and used Social Security numbers, and millions more Social Security numbers have been stolen and made available on the dark web.

RELATED: How Republicans have failed to defund sanctuary cities for a generation

Earlier this year, researchers released a report uncovering a large illegal online database that included “2.7 billion records with Social Security numbers.”

It’s hard to tell how many of the records involved the same Social Security number or a false number, but the total number of records is so high that it’s possible that this one report shows that the vast majority of Americans have already had their Social Security number illegally taken.

The weaknesses in the system go even further than SSNs. People can also register without submitting either a state ID or a Social Security number. They can instead rely on various substitute documents, none of which establish that the applicant is a U.S. citizen.

Oregon again shows how reckless these rules can be. Its voter registration form permits applicants to use non-government photo identification. It also allows documents such as a paycheck stub, utility bill, or bank statement.

Under these rules, a person with a mailing address and a cable or gas bill could be placed on the voter rolls without ever having to provide a reliable form of identification.

Pretending these rules ensure elections are secure is nothing short of delusional. The current rules make it easy for noncitizens and citizens alike to illegally register to vote.

For example, in many states, there are few safeguards to stop a parent from stealing the identity of his or her adult child to cast a second ballot. All the parent would need to register in the name of a child is the last four digits of his or her Social Security number, information that nearly all parents have.

Although voter registration rules are dangerously weak in much of the country, the protections that exist at the ballot box differ widely from state to state. In places with strong voter ID requirements and widespread in-person voting, it is much harder for noncitizens and citizen identity thieves to cast ballots. But many states have failed to adopt those basic safeguards.

Twenty-four states require voters to present photo identification when voting in person, while 12 additional states require some form of identification but do not require that the ID include a photo.

Fourteen states impose no voter ID requirement for most voters. That list includes large states with millions of voters, such as California, Illinois, and Pennsylvania.

The danger is compounded by the rapid expansion of mail-in voting. Many states now permit no-excuse mail-in ballots, and eight states run their elections entirely by mail.

Furthermore, there is evidence that suggests the problem could be far greater than most are willing to admit. A 2023 survey by the Heartland Institute and Rasmussen Reports found that more than 1 in 4 2020 mail-in voters admitted to engaging in at least one activity that likely constitutes a violation of election law.

Similarly, in 2024, Heartland and Rasmussen conducted another survey that showed 28% of likely voters said they would be willing to engage in at least one form of illegal voting activity to help their preferred candidate win that year’s presidential election.

The facts are disturbing and clear: Many Americans are willing to commit voter fraud, and not nearly enough protections are currently in place to prevent them from doing so.

The SAVE America Act would finally make America’s elections safe and secure again, but only if Republicans in Congress stop making excuses and use the power voters gave them to pass it.

Earlier this month, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) and former President Barack Obama visited Learning Through Play Pre-K, an early childhood education center in the South Bronx. During this visit — their first in-person meeting — they read the children’s book “Alone & Together” to toddlers, joined a sing-along of “Wheels on the Bus,” joked about pizza, and highlighted the city’s push for universal child care.

BlazeTV host Pat Gray wasn’t buying the feel-good optics for a second. He interpreted the publicity stunt as proof that “these two Marxists” are “absolutely together now.”

“Are these free buses that the wheels are going around on?” co-host Keith Malinak joked, highlighting Mamdani’s high-profile campaign promise to make city bus fares free — a pledge that has already stalled due to budget realities and state control of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.

“I could vomit,” Pat said in response to the entire PR stunt.

“You would think [Obama] would want to distance himself a bit from a guy who is essentially at least a socialist, if not a communist, because [Obama] spent his whole life denying he was one. And now here you are hanging out with [Mamdani] talking about the same things, and you got so much in common.”

This staged photo op comes as Mamdani marks his first 100 days in office, pushing an aggressive left-wing agenda on taxes, housing, and “free” services that prioritize ideology over practical governance.

Pat sees it as classic Democrat theater: using cute kids and sing-alongs to distract from failed policies and to cement a radical alliance between Obama and the new socialist mayor.

To see clips from Mamdani and Obama’s publicity stunt and hear more of the panel’s commentary, watch the video above.

Last weekend delivered yet another grim headline: political violence, an attempted presidential assassination, once again treated as a mystery by the left.

The alleged perpetrator, we are told, was not some fringe drifter living off the grid, but an award-winning teacher. This is a detail that would have seemed ironic a generation ago, but now seems almost predictable.

Reports indicate that the individual had a record of professional accolades and community involvement, the sort of résumé typically invoked to prove the impact of leftist ideologies.

If one wishes to understand what is happening to our country, there is no need to search for obscure explanations.

Alongside that résumé, there are early indications of ideological commitments and public expressions that fit comfortably within the increasingly militant strain of contemporary progressive activism and most university classrooms.

After such events, the public conversation follows a well-worn script. We are told this is an isolated incident. We are urged not to “politicize.” And yet, the same voices that warn against generalization in this context have no hesitation attributing sweeping moral guilt to entire categories when it suits the prevailing orthodoxy.

One is tempted to ask: How often must this pattern repeat before we permit ourselves the unfashionable act of noticing it?

It’s as if there are some mysterious places we send young adults to be indoctrinated to hate their country, hate their bodies, and hate God. The only thing worse is if we are footing the bill for tuition.

So let us ask, with due sobriety: Are there institutions in our country where young minds are being shaped, not merely to critique, but to despise?

Now that you mention it, yes, there are.

The university as moral re-education center

As a Christian and conservative professor, I have spent years calling attention to what occurs inside our universities.

Earlier this month, my college at Arizona State University formally adopted a Native American land acknowledgment as official policy.

These statements are often presented as benign gestures of historical awareness, but their actual function is quite different: They are meant to problematize the legitimacy of American land ownership and to “expose” what are called “structures of oppression.”

In practice, this language is not descriptive but rather accusatory. It does not invite inquiry; it prescribes judgment.

At the same time, faculty are encouraged to “decolonize” their curricula. That term, which sounds like a meaningless academic exercise, carries a very specific ideological payload. It teaches that Western civilization, particularly the United States, is not merely flawed but fundamentally illegitimate, built upon “white supremacy” and sustained by “structural violence.”

And if a system is fundamentally illegitimate, what follows?

Historically speaking, one does not reform such systems. One dismantles them. And so you find ASU professors calling for armed resistance to the United States.

From theory to rhetoric to action

This is not some abstract speculation. It is a demonstrable reality.

Across the country, we have seen:

Professors at American institutions openly defending or rationalizing political violence as a form of “resistance.” If intersectionality calls you “oppressed,” it’s fine to be violent. University departments issuing statements framing America as inherently oppressive while praising movements aimed at its transformation.K-12 educators using classroom time to advance ideological positions that portray students’ own nation, heritage, and even biological identity as sources of moral guilt.

Consider the broader pattern:

At Harvard and Columbia, student groups and faculty responses to recent global conflicts have included rhetoric that many Americans would recognize as moral inversion, where acts of violence are reframed as justified expressions of resistance.Diversity, equity, and inclusion programs across major universities and corporations routinely instruct participants to view American history through a lens of oppression, often discouraging dissent as a form of harm.“Decolonization” and the anti-settler, anti-whiteness initiatives increasingly reject the very idea of objective truth, reason, and even science, casting them as instruments of power and white supremacy.

One begins to see the progression:

Step 1: Teach the youth that America and Christianity are evil.
Step 2: Teach that dismantling them is justice.
Step 3: Act surprised when someone takes the final step.
Step 4: Cash your state employee checks.

What of oversight?

All of this brings us to a question that is at once practical and unavoidable: Where are the Arizona Board of Regents and similar institutions in other states?

Is it merely a ceremonial body, an occasion for polite applause and catered wine and cheese receptions, or does it exist to provide actual oversight of the institutions entrusted to it?

Public universities are not private salons for ideological experimentation. They are taxpayer-supported institutions with a mandate to educate, not indoctrinate; to pursue truth, not enforce orthodoxy.

In Arizona, professors sign an employee contract agreeing not to undermine the Constitution. And yet, when faculty openly promote ideas that undermine the constitutional order they are employed under, the response is silence or, worse, complicity.

Meanwhile, those who raise concerns find themselves subject to scrutiny, marginalization, and, in some cases, professional penalty.

What are we paying for?

American families send their children to universities like ASU at considerable cost. It is easily tens of thousands of dollars per year and sometimes far more when all expenses are counted and taxes are factored in.

What do they expect in return? An education in truth. Training in reason. Preparation for responsible citizenship. Maybe even a little wisdom and fear of God.

But that is not what they get. Instead, their kids receive instruction in grievance. Classes about envy and training to hate your neighbor. Formation in ideological hostility. Encouragement to view their own country, their own traditions, even their own families as objects of suspicion or contempt.

And occasionally, as we are now forced to confront, something worse: calls for violent resistance by professors on the state tax dime.

A modest proposal

If one wishes to understand what is happening to our country, there is no need to search for obscure explanations.

It is happening, in large measure, in our universities. And it is paid for by taxes in the very country these professors hate so much. Parents don’t know how bad it is and continue to send their children, paying tuition, into these ideological training camps.

And — this is the uncomfortable part — we don’t stop paying for it. It’s much worse than you think, and it is time to say enough is enough. No more state checks for those who hate America. They are free to start their own private university and teach their hatred there.

I have documented these trends extensively. I will continue to do so. If you would like to keep updated on what goes on within our universities, you can subscribe to my Substack as I report from within the belly of what some call the Devil’s University.

If you find yourself in conversation with someone who asks, in genuine bewilderment, “What is happening to America?” you might offer a simple reply: “Look at the institutions shaping the next generation.”

New footage shows the moment Cole Allen ran through security at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday while allegedly targeting President Donald Trump.

The video posted to social media by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro shows about nine security personnel before Allen bolted through the security checkpoint with a gun.

‘There is no evidence the shooting was the result of friendly fire.’

One of the agents in the footage pulls his gun and aims at Allen almost immediately.

Pirro says the video provides evidence against the rumor that the Secret Service officer shot during the incident was injured by another officer and not Allen.

“There is no evidence the shooting was the result of friendly fire,” she wrote. “The video also shows Allen casing the area in the Hilton Hotel the day before the attack.”

Allen was charged with one count of attempted assassination of the president of the United States, one count of interstate transportation of a firearm to commit a felony, and another count of discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence.

Allen left a long trail of posts on social media that showed his animus against the Trump administration and provided a rationale for his alleged attack.

“My office along with the @FBI will continue this extensive investigation to bring Cole Allen to justice,” Pirro added.

An accused knife-brandishing teen most definitely chose the wrong female to carjack over the weekend in Yonkers, New York.

Around 12:45 p.m. Sunday, police got a call requesting assistance at the Mobil gas station at 838 Kimball Avenue, police said.

The suspect will be charged with robbery in the first, second, and third degree, as well as fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon and second-degree menacing, police said.

The call was from an off-duty New York state trooper.

An investigation revealed that when the off-duty trooper was done refueling her vehicle, a male approached her, brandished a knife, and entered the driver’s seat of her vehicle, police said.

While the trooper was off-duty, she sure wasn’t unarmed — and as you might expect, she wasn’t going to let the crook get away without a fight.

With that, the trooper fired one shot from her off-duty firearm, striking the suspect in the left arm — and the round continued into his torso, police said.

The suspect accelerated the vehicle toward the rear of the gas station, drove through a shed and fence at the end of the property, and then came to a stop in the parking lot of the adjacent apartment building at 1296 Midland Avenue, police said.

The suspect then fled from the stolen vehicle and ran toward Midland Avenue, police said.

However, Yonkers Police officers quickly located the suspect at the entrance to 1328 Midland Avenue and placed him into custody without incident, police said, adding that a knife was recovered from the suspect at the time of arrest.

Medical aid was rendered at the scene, and the suspect was transported to an area hospital where he was treated for non-life-threatening gunshot wounds; he was in stable condition, police said.

The suspect is a 17-year-old Yonkers resident, police said.

The suspect will be charged with robbery in the first, second, and third degree, as well as fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon and second-degree menacing, police said.

The Yonkers Police Department’s Detective Division Major Case Squad is leading the criminal investigation while the New York State Police is conducting an internal review, police said.

As the trooper was the victim, police said no identifying information will be released about her other than she was a female off-duty state trooper assigned to Troop NYC.

A state police spokesman said the trooper is a 12-year veteran who suffered minor injuries in the incident and was treated at a hospital and released, according to the Rockland/Westchester Journal News.

Liberal Minnesota politicians are crafting legislation to bully cities and counties that continue to fly the old state flag in defiance of a new design.

The Minnesota House of Representatives passed a bill that would strip state funding from any local government that “flies or otherwise makes use of a state flag other than the design of the state flag as certified in the report of the State Emblems Redesign Commission.”

‘I’ve been a little disappointed in the cities around Minnesota that have been kind of manufacturing this culture war over this state flag.’

The new flag design was changed in 2023 by the State Emblems Redesign Commission after some critics said the previous design from 1893 was racist against Native Americans. It was officially adopted in 2024, but opponents of the new flag say it looks too much like a Somali state flag.

However, Republican state House Speaker Lisa Demuth says the bill will not make it past the state Senate.

“That bill is dead on arrival. There is no way this bill is moving through,” she told CBS News. “To know that Democrats are trying to take funding away from our police … it’s ridiculous. We have real work that could help Minnesotans.”

State Rep. Mike Freiberg, a member of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, is one of the authors of the legislation.

“I’ve been a little disappointed in the cities around Minnesota that have been kind of manufacturing this culture war over this state flag,” Freiberg said. “I felt like it was important for there to kind of be a statement legislatively in support of the new state flag, which is the official state flag.”

On Monday, the Inver Grove Heights City Council voted to fly the old design and joined Elk River, Champlin, Zumbrota, and Plainview in defiance of the new flag.

“The old flag is not only kind of boring but also kind of racist,” Freiburg added.

“The seal depicts a Native American riding off into the sunset while a White settler plows his field with his rifle leaning on a nearby stump,” reads a 2023 description of the old flag from the Associated Press. “The imagery suggests to many that the Indigenous people were defeated and going away, while whites won and were staying.”

Demuth went on to say the vote of the commission didn’t represent all Minnesotans.

“They felt as Minnesotans, they were disrespected in the process, and everyone I have talked to wants the old flag back or at least a choice in the matter,” she added.

If the new legislation becomes law, it would be implemented in 2027.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) has long been known for her defense of Somalian immigrants and intense hatred of the Trump administration — but that’s all about to change, as BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere has crowned her with a new title.

“When you think of who the dumbest congressman in America is, or congresslady, you come up with a bunch of different names. I think AOC would be sort of near the top of that list for a lot of people,” Stu tells co-host Dave Landau on “Stu and Dave Do America.”

“Another one you might put in that list is Ilhan Omar,” Stu says, noting that conservatives mostly take issue with her ideology, but not necessarily her stupidity.

However, that was before a clip of Omar discussing World War II resurfaced.

“The last time the Alien Enemies Act was invoked, it was used to detain and deport German, Japanese, Italian immigrants during World War 11,” Omar said in the clip, using the number “eleven” instead of “two.”

“How can that be real?” Stu asks, shocked.

“I think most people often think that there are more world wars than ‘Police Academy’ movies,” Landau jokes, adding, “She could just be thinking of ‘The Fast and the Furious.’”

Landau also points out that as a congresswoman, she should know that there were two world wars, but she doesn’t because “she doesn’t care enough about America to actually know that.”

“No one makes that mistake. A child wouldn’t make that mistake,” he adds.

Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton of Massachusetts said that Secretary of War Pete Hegseth might have the same fate as some Nazis who were executed for their war crimes in World War II.

Moulton claimed that strikes ordered on narco-terrorist boats near Venezuela could be prosecuted as war crimes and lead to the secretary’s execution.

‘Back in World War II, the Allies tried Nazi submarine captains for doing this exact same thing.’

The Democrat was being interviewed by Erin Burnett on CNN on Wednesday when he made the bizarre threat against Hegseth.

“He’s clearly behind the operation to shoot all these boats in the Caribbean when it’s very unclear that we actually have any confirmation that these so-called narco-terrorists, a term the administration invented to justify this action, are even on the boats,” he said.

Moulton went on to cite some reports claiming that the sailors killed were just fishermen who were trying to feed their families and “clearly not war criminals,” as claimed by the Trump administration.

“And on top of that, we then have the strike where they came back and hit it again, a double tap just purely to kill these survivors who were clinging to wreckage,” Moulton said.

“You know, it’s interesting, Erin, another historical analogy: Back in World War II, the Allies tried Nazi submarine captains for doing this exact same thing,” he added. “And guess what the conclusion was? They got executed! Listen to that, Mr. Secretary!”

The strikes on drug boats near Venezuela were a precursor to the military operation that led to the capture of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro, who is now awaiting trial.

“Hegseth may want to read up on the Geneva Conventions,” Moulton said on social media with video of his interview with Burnett.

Moulton is a former U.S. Marine Corps captain who served four tours in the Iraq War, while Hegseth is a former Army National Guard infantry officer with combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan.

Thomas “Neeza” Powers, born Thomas Ryan Powers, is a social media influencer and former transgender-identifying athlete who lived as a woman named Nicole for over a decade before publicly detransitioning in mid-2025.

He gained a massive social media following by sharing his story of identifying as a lesbian, then transitioning, competing in women’s sports, and later experiencing a dramatic Christian conversion that led him to embrace his biological sex, advocate against men in women’s spaces, and pursue Catholicism.

However, just a few days ago, Thomas announced that he is re-transitioning.

In his Instagram statement, he said: “The self-loathing I’ve had for the last eight months has been excruciating. I know you’re thinking that’s just your sin talking, but it’s not … I believe in the holy Scriptures. I believe in the Lord Jesus. My heart is better to serve Him without hating myself. My heart is better as a partner to Charlotte without hating my existence, enforcing an identity on myself. And my heart is better to serve my community this way.”

BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey has a strong suspicion that Powers’ primary motivation has less to do with “authenticity” than it does attention.

On this episode of “Relatable,” Allie dives into Powers’ complicated history and makes the case that his entire public persona and story — from the original transition through the detransition and back — was likely a stunt to build a massive following and monetize attention.

Allie’s first red flag is that Thomas’ “re-transitioning” announcement was initially posted as an Instagram “trial reel,” which is a feature that allows creators to test their content’s popularity with non-followers.

“He did not announce to his followers, at least at the time, that he was ‘re-transitioning’ so-called. So that to me tells me that he is putting out two different narratives,” says Allie.

But that’s just the beginning of Thomas’ suspicious inconsistencies.

“People started noticing some inconsistencies in his story, like his transitioning timeline, his relationship with his girlfriend, even his age,” says Allie, pointing to many internet sleuths who have dug up old photos of Powers that appear to contradict many of the claims he’s made about himself.

Further, Christian news outlet Protestia published a detailed exposé back in February, presenting evidence that Powers had fabricated or significantly misrepresented major parts of his story, including: his age (claiming to be in his 20s when public records show he was born in 1989, making him 36), his transition timeline (claiming he started puberty blockers at 16 and transitioned as a teen, but photo evidence pointed to him transitioning much later, closer to age 30), and key details of his relationship with his partner, Charlotte.

“I don’t even know if this person really thinks that he is a woman or what he’s trying to do. I think that obviously something is going on there that’s wrong and it’s evil and perhaps unstable,” says Allie. “To me the bigger issue seems to be that he is a pathological liar and that he has created a character to gain a following.”

“Now that does not decrease my compassion for this person because lost is lost. You’re lost whether you’re a man who thinks that you’re a woman; you are lost if you are a person that is basically a scam artist … and so the response is the same: that we pray for him.”

A CNN polling analysis is likely to give Democrats indigestion, since it seems that President Donald Trump has made surprising gains with black voters.

While Democrats have hammered away at the Trump administration with accusations of racism, the president has actually increased his gains among black voters.

‘President Trump and the Republican Party are chipping away at the long-term advantage that Democrats have had with black voters.’

CNN data chief Harry Enten pointed to polls that showed more black Americans say they support Trump in his second term than in his first term.

“I think what we’re seeing right now in the numbers is President Trump and the Republican Party are chipping away at the long-term advantage that Democrats have had with black voters, with African-Americans,” Enten said during the Thursday segment.

“You can see it right here. Look, Trump’s approval among African-Americans at this point in term one: He was at 12%,” he added. “You know, he’s been losing ground with a lot of groups. He’s gaining — he’s gaining ground with African-Americans. He’s up to 16% at this point.”

When CNN host Kate Bolduan asked if there was a broader trend, Enten had an emphatic response.

“Donald Trump’s Republican Party is absolutely gaining ground, not just him gaining in terms of his approval rating,” he added.

“This, to me, was absolutely stunning,” Enten continued. “Look at this party ID margin among African-Americans at this point in Trump term number one: Democrats had a 63-point advantage. That is absolutely fallen. Look at where it is now: a double-digit shift away.”

Black voters identifying as Democrats dropped to 51%, a decrease of 12 percentage points from the president’s first term. That lead was the smallest party ID advantage Democrats had among black voters since 2006 through 2021, according to Enten.

Enten showed that the gains Republicans made among black voters could help the party maintain its control over Congress in the midterm elections.

“All of a sudden, there are a number of African-Americans who are walking away from the Democratic Party and a number of them who are walking into the Republican tent,” he added.

The analyst posted video of the segment to social media.

Former FBI Director James Comey is reportedly facing another legal hurdle from President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice.

Comey is potentially facing his third indictment under the Trump administration as acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s DOJ pursues additional charges against the disgraced former director. This time, the DOJ is looking to indict Comey for allegedly leaking classified information, an accusation that Trump has frequently hurled at the former FBI head.

‘James Comey, who is a Dirty Cop, one of the worst, knows this full well!’

This effort comes after the DOJ brought a second indictment against Comey for his infamous Instagram post in May 2025 with the numbers “86 47” displayed in a formation of seashells. The post was later deleted.

Just days after Trump was targeted in the third assassination attempt on Saturday, the DOJ argued that Comey’s post was just another call for violence against the president.

“Threatening the life of the president of the United States will never be tolerated by the Department of Justice,” Blanche said at a press conference Tuesday.

The phrase “86” in slang typically refers to getting rid of something, and Trump is the 47th president. Some argue that “86 47” was a call to remove Trump from office or to defeat him politically. At the same time, Trump and his allies have maintained that “86 47” meant “kill the president.”

“’86’ is a mob term for ‘kill him,'” Trump said. “They say 86 him! 86 47 means ‘kill President Trump.’ James Comey, who is a Dirty Cop, one of the worst, knows this full well! EIGHT MILES OUT, SIX FEET DOWN! Didn’t he also lie to the FBl about this??? I think so!”

Comey was also indicted in September for allegedly making false statements to Congress and for obstruction of a congressional proceeding, but the case was later dismissed.
