REPORT: High School Suspends Student for Supporting the American Flag


The Baltimore County Public School system reportedly suspended a high school
senior this year after he pushed administrators to follow the law and hang
American flags in his classrooms.

The student, 18-year-old Parker Jensen, is a Marine Corps enlistee and
football team captain. He originally approached his assistant principal in
February, then the Baltimore Board of Education in March, when he noticed that
two of his classrooms remained flagless despite state law requiring all public
school classrooms to display Old Glory. Next thing he knew, his district
labeled him "disruptive" and "threatening," suspended him from school, and
banned him from the prom.

Would a student asking teachers to hang the LGBTQIA+ pride flag receive such
treatment? Of course not. They’d probably wind up on the cover ofTime Magazine.

Former Judge in Custody After Housing Tren de Aragua Gang Member


The story of Joel Cano, the New Mexico judge who resigned following the recent
capture of a suspected Tren de Aragua gang member at his house, took a new turn
on Thursday.

Authorities raided Cano’s home yesterday afternoon and took both him and his
wife into custody. The couple allegedly offered 23-year-old Venezuelan national
Cristhian Ortega-Lopez the chance to reside in a “casita” on their property
after he scaled a barbed-wire fence to break into the United States.
Prosecutors also say Cano’s daughter shared her guns with the visitor and
allowed him to shoot them for fun.

The enforcement is accusing the judge of evidence tampering, while his wife
faces a conspiracy to tamper charge. Homeland Security continues to investigate
the case.Read more.

Illegal Immigrant Attacks Bird, ICE Says Get ‘Em Out


After months of grueling surgery recovery, a great white heron that reportedly
suffered a broken wing at the hands of an illegal immigrant is finally free.He
is a free bird.

According to witnesses, Guatemalan national Edgar Valenzuela struck the
creature with a large rock in January as it waded at a state park. A Pelican
Harbor Seabird Station worker later found the federally protected victim
crouched in the grass and bleeding from the right wing. A subsequent X-ray scan
revealed multiple fractures.

Police arrested Valenzuela the next month, and prosecutors filed a felony
case against him for intentionally wounding the innocent fowl. Officials
originally scheduled his next trial hearing for May 27, but he be unable to
make it. ICE deported him shortly after his arrest.Read more.

Obama-Appointed Judge Blocks Trump from Defunding Sanctuary Cities


Donald Trump has talked about defunding sanctuary cities since the beginning
of his political career. It was a rallying cry in 2016, and it remains one
today.

The idea makes sense on the most practical level. If city politicians refuse
to followfederal law, why should the federal government reward them with juicy
taxpayer-funded grants?

U.S. District Judge William Orrick disagrees. He blocked the Trump
administration from withholding funds from over a dozen sanctuary jurisdictions
on Thursday, arguing that allowing the president to keep his campaign promise
could cause the delinquent cities “irreparable harm.”

Irreparable harm? What about the irreparable harm illegal immigration causes
American citizens? Abolishing sanctuary cities could significantly subdue such
carnage, and defunding them is the way to do it. The Left standing opposed is
as damning an indicator of their true motives as any.Read more.

Another Judge Blocks Proof-of-Citizenship Voting Requirement


U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly handed Democrats a big win on
Thursday, blocking the Trump administration from adding a proof-of-citizenship
requirement to the federal voter-registration form.

The ruling
<[link removed]>
derives from numerous liberal lawsuits over the president’s March
election-integrity executive order. In addition to the ID proponent, it
requires states to remove noncitizens from voter rolls, calls for federal
agencies to share data to prosecute election crimes, and grants those agencies
access to check state rolls "for consistency with Federal requirements."
Kollar-Kotelly did not strike down those provisions.

Rather than rejecting the constitutionality of a proof-of-citizenship
requirement, Thursday’s decision revolved around the president’s authority in
overseeing elections. It stated that Congress and the states, not the executive
branch, have the power to regulate federal elections.Read more.

Russia Is “Ready to Reach a Deal”


Steve Witkoff is in Moscow, and a peace deal may be on the horizon.

Top Russian diplomat Sergey Lavrov said on Thursday that his country is open
to an agreement to end its war in Ukraine. The comment came hours after Donald
Trump blasted Vladimir Putinon Truth Social
<[link removed]>, saying he
was “not happy with the Russian strikes on KYIV.”

“The president of the United States believes, and I think rightly so, that we
are moving in the right direction,” Lavrov said during a CBSFace the Nation
interview. “The statement by the president mentions a deal, and we are ready to
reach a deal.”

The aforementioned Thursday Kyiv attack, one of the largest aerial assaults
on the Ukrainian capital in months, killed at least 12 people and injured over
70. Russia pivoting from executing that strike to earnestly seeking peace would
be quite the 180.

CHARLIE KIRK: Crackdowns on Israel Criticism Could Fuel Anti-Semitism


Anti-Semitism is wrong, and it’s good that many of America’s leaders seem to
care about preventing its spread. But they may be causing more harm than they
realize.

Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk made the potent observation on
Thursday that punishing individuals who criticize the Israeli government, which
is vastly different from spreading anti-Jewish slander, could accidentally whip
people into a hateful frenzy over frustrations about our “special ally’s”
disproportionate influence in Washington.

“I actually think it creates more anti-Israel hostility and anti-Semitism
when it looks as if such a strong hand of the government is gonna come in,”
Kirk said about the Trump administration detaining a doctoral student who
penned an op-ed criticizing the Netanyahu government. He prefaced his statement
by describing himself as “very pro-Israel,” which is provably true.

Think about what Kirk is saying. It is rooted in basic common sense. Doing
something wrong on someone else’s behalf won’t cause people to have sympathy
for that party. It will cause them to resent it. That’s not good for anybody.

Lawn Mower Destroys Entire Home


A Kentucky family has reportedly lost its home to a fire started by an
unlikely source:their lawn mower.

They couldn’t have seen the tragedy coming. As he would on any other Friday,
one of the children inconspicuously returned the mower to their garage after
giving the lawn a trim before anything seemed out of sorts. Thenbang. It went
up in flames.

“I ran into the kitchen and could see smoke coming into the kitchen from the
garage. I opened the door, and the whole lawn mower was on fire,” the family
patriarch recalled. He tried to extinguish the blaze, but it quickly spread
throughout the house, causing the building’s complete destruction.

The accident caused no injuries besides “a couple little burns.” The family
hopes to begin a new house hunt soon.Read more.

Commentary


Sit Down, David.


David Hogg has been a bad boy.

The DNC vice chair, whose pairing of tough-guy intimidation stares and
flaccid noodle arms continues to feel highly unnatural, has dominated headlines
since announcing his initiative to support primary challengers to
“asleep-at-the-wheel” incumbent Democrats. The party establishment, which Hogg
rightfully does not care about, is deeply offended by his desire to drive
change.

Those ghouls began unleashing their wrath on Thursday, deploying DNC Chair
Ken Martin to deliver Hogg a verbal spanking on behalf of the liberal swamp
monsters the upstart vice chair seeks to destroy.

His message was simple. If Hogg wants to maintain his post, he must
immediately shut up about challenging his party’s almighty dear leaders.
Supporting new candidates whom voters might actually like may only be done from
the sidelines. How dare you try to upend the old guard. Sit down, son.

Martin claimed his order “is not about shielding incumbents or boosting
challengers. It’s about voters’ trust in the party,” while adding that the
committee’s “job is to be neutral arbiters.” That explanation does not deserve
the time of day.

Regardless of whatever sweet talk officials like Martin come up with, the
DNC’s loathing of Hogg’s plan is not about neutral arbitration. It’s about
maintaining the status quo. Never forget that Joe Biden, the man the party
protected, defended, and lied about until the bitter end, secretly promised
rich donors that “nothing would fundamentally change
<[link removed]>
” if they sent him to the White House. That’s what the establishment craves.No
fundamental change. Corporate, lobbyist, and neocon rule forever. Hogg wants to
fight that, so they’re smacking him down.

Separate from being harmful to the country, this obsessive urge to
continuously protect the powerful is an insane electoral strategy. Any
attentive observer could tell you that lovingly and unconditionally embracing
incumbent Democrats is not in the liberal party’s interest.Only 23% of
Americans under 30 approve of those lawmakers
<[link removed]>
, andjust 39% of Democrats think their leaders will support the right policies
to help the economy
<[link removed]>
. That is not a recipe for winning elections. But they cling to it anyway.

This is the part where Republicans sit back, kick their feet up, and watch
their opposition implode. David Hogg’s strategy could potentially hurt the GOP
if Democrats would get out of their own way and implement it. But they won’t.
Status quo over everything.

This Day in History


April 25, 2019: Joe Biden launches his presidential campaign. The former
senator, vice president, and Iraq War blowhard announced his candidacy in avideo
<[link removed]> titled “America Is An Idea,” in
which he claimed to know the Declaration of Independence’s “We hold these
truths” line “by heart.” That, of course, was ahilarious hyperbole
<[link removed]>. He clearly does not know
the thing.
