"The European Union is strengthening its powers to track, raid and deport people to 'return hubs' in third countries in Africa and elsewhere in a crackdown on migrants. It is the latest move from Brussels as it continues to tighten the bloc's migration policies after right-wing parties took power in some countries in 2024.

"European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, from the centre-right European People's Party coalition, said the new measures will prevent a repeat of the 2015 crisis caused by Syria's civil war, when about a million people arrived in the EU seeking asylum. She said on Sunday (March 29) the new rules would give member states 'the operational teeth' the bloc lacked at the time.

"She said: 'We have learnt the lessons of the past. And today, we are better equipped.'

"The new policies, known as the Pact on Migration and Asylum, come into effect on June 12. The pact, dubbed a 'deportation toolkit', includes joint police raids, biometric tracking in real time and outsourcing migrant detention centres to countries outside the EU.

"In its pact, Brussels appears to have quietly adopted similar tactics to US President Donald Trump's administration, which have previously drawn criticism from some across the 27-nation bloc."

"A network of about 500 groups with an estimated $3 billion in combined annual revenues is behind the coordinated nationwide 'No Kings' protest Saturday, including communist groups who are using the day to call for a 'revolution,' according to a Fox Digital News investigation.

According to a copy of the permit for the 'flagship' march in St. Paul, Minn., Indivisible, a national well-heeled Democratic political advocacy organization funded by billionaire George Soros, is the lead coordinator for the protest.

But Fox News Digital has also identified key participation by a network of radical socialist and communist organizations funded by Neville Roy Singham, an American tech tycoon and avowed communist living in China.

Over nearly a decade, Singham has financed a constellation of activist institutions that promote revolutionary socialist politics and frequently collaborate in protest campaigns, including the People's Forum in New York, the Party for Socialism and Liberation, the ANSWER Coalition and CodePink, whose co-founder Jodie Evans is married to Singham. These groups work closely with the Freedom Road Socialist Organization."

"The Supreme Court of Maryland dismissed three lawsuits from Democratic-led jurisdictions that sought to hold oil and gas companies accountable for climate change, striking a blow to a coordinated legal effort to force energy producers to pay billions of dollars in weather-related damages nationwide.

The 3-2 decision, written by Justice Brynja Booth, determined the lawsuits brought by the City of Baltimore, Anne Arundel County, and the City of Annapolis improperly sought to use state law to 'regulate air emissions beyond their jurisdictional boundaries.' Baltimore, Anne Arundel, and Annapolis argued that the defendants, more than two dozen oil companies, including BP, Chevron, and ExxonMobil, violated nuisance laws by selling products that generated carbon emissions and, in turn, led to costly weather events harming their residents.

Booth wrote that federal law alone applies to cases related to interstate pollution. 'No amount of creative pleading can masquerade the fact that the local governments are attempting to utilize state law to regulate global conduct that is purportedly causing global harm,' wrote Booth, who later added that seeking to use state courts to reduce worldwide greenhouse gas emissions 'is so far afield from any area of traditional state or local responsibility that it cannot be seriously contemplated.'

The ruling hands a decisive victory to oil and gas companies, which argued that such litigation could dismantle the industry by forcing it to pay tens of billions of dollars in damages. It also marks a victory for the Trump administration, which filed a brief last year asking the court to dismiss the cases. '[Federal law] contemplates no role for states reaching out and applying their law in other states,' the brief stated."

"The U.S. government is insolvent. That's not hyperbole -- it's the conclusion drawn directly from the Treasury Department's own consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2025, released last week to near-total media silence. The numbers: $6.06 trillion in total assets against $47.78 trillion in total liabilities as of September 30, 2025.

"Importantly, the $47.78 trillion in reported liabilities does not include the unfunded obligations of social insurance programs like Social Security and Medicare -- those are disclosed separately in the off-balance-sheet Statement of Social Insurance (SOSI).

"The government's consolidated balance sheet position, excluding the SOSI, deteriorated by nearly $2.07 trillion between FY 2024 and FY 2025, reaching a staggering negative $41.72 trillion. Total liabilities are now nearly eight times the value of reported assets. The largest drivers were a $2 trillion increase in federal debt and interest payable (now $30.33 trillion) and a $438.8 billion increase in federal employee and veteran benefits payable (now $15.47 trillion)."

"The civilian board that oversees America's spy agencies will probe whether political bias kept intelligence analysts from sharing with Congress and President Donald Trump evidence that China meddled in elections dating to 2020, its chairman says after an explosive report by Just the News.

"'We ran a decade-long investigation in the Congress into China, and so this new bombshell that you just dropped is very concerning to me, and it should be to the Congress,' President's Intelligence Advisory Board Chairman Devin Nunes told the Just the News, No Noise television show.

"'This information was likely around in 2019, probably in 2020. I don't know. We're going to have to unpack this and figure out why this didn't get to the Congress and why this didn't get out to the American public,' Nunes said."

"After reading so-many analyses that regime change in Iran was impossible, it seems as though the impossible is looking more and more possible.

"Some of the coverage is even turning as the WSJ story on the elimination of Ali Larijari documented how the leadership of Iran is being reduced to on all fronts and the security apparatus is beginning to wear thin and is systematically being frightened.

"And it's pretty clear the US is preparing to take Kharg island once all the forces needed are in place to apply next level of pressure against Iran, which is alienating all of the other Arab countries with attacks on their hotels and airports.

"All this support from Dems for not taking out Iran remains puzzling given this regime was amassing thousands of ballistic missiles on top of its nuclear program and machine gunned its own people by the bushel to put down protest. And while the US is targeting military assets, Iran is sending outlawed cluster missiles right at heavily populated civilian areas of major cities.

"The US military is at the top of its game carrying out massive operations with minimal losses. More and more the survival of this regime is coming under question as their leadership, military assets and secret police are all facing real-time destruction that cannot be sustained."

"Washington state has beaten California and New York in their race to soak the rich.

On Thursday, the state Legislature passed a 'millionaires tax' along party lines. Starting in 2028, household income over $1 million will be subject to a 9.9 percent income tax. The money raised from this duty will allow the state to eliminate sales taxes on diapers, over-the-counter drugs, and select hygiene products; provide free school breakfast and lunch; and to generally 'fund K-12 education, health care, [and] higher education.' Unless Gov. Bob Ferguson unexpectedly vetoes the bill, it will automatically become law in April.

In passing this law, the Evergreen State has implemented the most regressive wealth tax in the country, at least for now. In November, Californians will vote on a proposed 5 percent billionaire wealth tax ballot initiative (which Gov. Gavin Newsom opposes). Meanwhile, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has called on state legislators to impose an additional 2 percent income tax on millionaires and is considering proposals to increase the city's corporate tax rates and lower its threshold for death (estate) taxes from $7.1 million to $750,000."

"It is a terrible time to be a news consumer. Sadly, the only way to explain today's media is to write them off as either malicious or hopelessly incompetent.

"Consider 'lobstergate,' one of the more achingly idiotic so-called controversies in recent years. This episode begins with a watchdog report from OpenTheBooks finding that, in the fourth quarter of 2025, the Pentagon spent an estimated $6.9 million on lobster tail, $2 million on Alaskan king crab, and $15.1 million on ribeye steaks.

"Now, if you have served in the U.S. armed forces, or you know someone who has, you know all too well what those food purchases are about.

"American mess halls often treat servicemen to special meals -- usually right before deployments or other rough assignments, as a morale booster. Those special meals? You guessed it: lobster, ribeye, or crab. Special meals are also provided for the occasional non-deployment situation."

"A newly completed national survey of likely voters shows strong support for President Donald Trump's decision to use military force to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons.

"Even more striking, when voters are reminded of Iran's long record of hostility toward the United States, support grows significantly -- with 57% backing military action.

"A clear majority believes decisive action is justified -- and an even stronger majority of 59% said President Trump should finish the job to ensure Iran never acquires nuclear weapons.

"The findings also reveal a significant gap between the views of the American electorate and the tone of much of the left-of-center media coverage, which has largely portrayed the public as skeptical or opposed to military action.

"Our data suggests otherwise."

"This is the moment a statement made on behalf of Iran's new Supreme Leader was read out on state TV, amid rumours he is 'in a coma' and has lost a leg -- or is even dead.

"The written statement attributed to Mojtaba Khamenei, 56, was read out by a news anchor on state TV this afternoon.

"He himself did not appear on national TV. His absence will only fuel rumours that he is either too ill to record a reading of his statement or died in an airstrike.

"The statement says that Iran would not refrain from avenging the 'blood of its martyrs.'"
