Mexico’s Navy raided a trucking depot that was being used by the Gulf Cartel to store thousands of gallons of stolen fuel that would be sold on the underground market as part of a complex moneymaking scheme. The incident occurred last week in an area west of the border city of Matamoros, not far from the Los Indios International Port of Entry. As part of the raid, authorities seized various pieces of equipment, including pumps, large storage containers, and three trailers – two were for liquid cargo, and the third would move plastic containers to hide the smuggled fuel.

Cole Allen, the 31-year-old Kamala Harris donor who attended a “No Kings” rally and wrote in a manifesto about targeting Trump administration officials, was charged Monday with attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump. Mad Men actress January Jones, however, said it was all a staged political production. “Do you have a boring dinner party coming up, and lots of losers and fake friends have rsvp’d? Are you looking for help staging a small scale low risk assassination attempt to get out of it? Look no further, the US Government is your man, call us now at 1-800-wehate-americans,” the actress said in an Instagram…

Experts say the Index captures what current West-centric metrics often miss: whether a society is stable, safe and built to last RT’s Social Well-Being Index, an innovative way to measure national health, captures something many of the world’s most cited rankings often miss – whether a society is actually functioning well as a society, experts believeBuilt around six indicators – total fertility rate, life expectancy, infant mortality, number of homicides, income inequality and education levels – the Social Well-Being Index, or SWI, is intended as an alternative to familiar measures such as GDP rankings and the UN’s Human Development Index.…

A new focus on fiscal sponsorships and government funding could mean more paperwork for tax-exempt organizations.gettyThe Treasury Department and the IRS have announced plans to revise Form 990, the primary disclosure form for tax-exempt organizations. The stated goal of the revisions is to “improve transparency, strengthen tax administration, and provide clearer reporting on certain activities of tax-exempt organizations.” That’s in keeping with the idea that when organizations receive public funds or tax-deductible contributions, the expectation is that they can clearly show—at least to the IRS—where the money comes from, who controls it, and how it is used. (Schedule B of…

Google co-founder Sergey Brin, whose company serves as the highwater mark of woke leftist hysteria in Silicon Valley, is now taking positions contrary to his left-wing peers, including standing against California’s proposed wealth tax. He is reportedly been pushed to the right by his Trump-supporting girlfriend, who the President called Brin’s “really wonderful MAGA girlfriend.” The New York Times reports that Google co-founder Sergey Brin told Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) that he found California’s proposed billionaire tax intolerable. He was joined by girlfriend Gerelyn Gilbert-Soto, a conservative influencer who supports Donald Trump. Gilbert-Soto joked she’d overlook Newsom’s policies because of his…

Two high-level military operations carried out by Mexico’s Navy delivered a powerful blow to the most feared terrorist group in Mexico, Cartel Jalisco New Generation (CJNG). The arrests of two of its top leaders come just weeks after Mexico’s military forces, working with U.S. intelligence agencies, killed the cartel’s supreme leader and founder, Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera Cervantes, in February. The raids began on Monday in the coastal state of Nayarit near the town of El Mirador, where Mexico’s Navy worked to arrest Audias “El Jardinero” Diaz Flores. The man is described as the security chief and main enforcer for…

As more and more people shop online, the ongoing wipeout of brick-and-mortar retail stores will continue. One study shows that by 2030, a mere four years from now, 40,000 more retail stores could close down. This is after more than 10,000 retail closures since 2023. Per the study, the primary victims will be “clothing, consumer electronics, home furnishings, office supplies, and sporting goods.” Here’s an interesting number — the “forecast is that e-commerce penetration rates in the U.S. will top 27 percent by the end of the decade, up from the current 22 percent.” So, physical stores will still dominate retail.…

During Monday’s airing of ABC’s The View, host Ana Navarro led her co-hosts in relishing that President Donald Trump and his Cabinet “felt the fear” of death during Saturday’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting, and might now be more open to gun control. Newsbusters managing editor Curtis Houck posted an excerpt from the Disney-owned talk show, in which Navarro expressed bewilderment that Congress did not pass gun control after the December 14, 2012, Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. She then added, “But maybe now, that they have felt the fear themselves, they will do something.” Navarro talked about the “important political…

The House is poised to vote this week on whether to keep controversial pesticide language in the farm bill after a revolt from some Republicans and Make America Healthy Again activists. House GOP leaders drafted a rule Tuesday to move forward with the farm bill and other key legislative priorities this week after overnight negotiations. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) and other MAHA-aligned Republicans have threatened to withhold support for the bill unless the pesticide provision — which bars states from creating pesticide labeling laws that differ from EPA guidance — is stripped. Luna said Monday she would “BLOW UP…
